CITY ELECTION

Candidates weigh in on renters, recycling and retail

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Whether it is creating new regulations or approving new development, Lawrence city commissioners have plenty of power to change any neighborhood in the city.

In the third of a series of articles about issues in the 2013 Lawrence City Commission race, the Journal-World asked the six candidates for their views on issues that may affect Lawrence neighborhoods.

The issues focused on:

Rental registration.

City commissioners have talked extensively this year about expanding the city’s current rental registration program to cover every rental unit in the city. That would mean rental units in the city would be inspected

ohn Musgrave already had told me about the power of a few words.

“A single sentence can say so much,” he had said a few moments earlier.

Musgrave is a poet, and we are sitting in a small, ornate conference room in the Journal-World building that we all call the Parlor, so it seems appropriate to talk about such fineries as poetry.

But let’s not kid ourselves.

That’s not what we’re really talking about. We’re talking about an art form even older than poetry: War. And that is a subject where a single sentence certainly can say a lot.

“It was an intimate ambush,” Musgrave says from his seat at the table.

An intimate ambush? I get the gist of the sentence, but that’s different from saying I understand it. Thankfully, I’m not expected to. I’m not a veteran of anything, let alone combat.

Musgrave knows I don’t understand. He’s seen that look plenty of times before.

So, he points at a corner of our parlor, perhaps a strong six feet away from his chair.

“That’s about how far away I was from the man who shot me,” Musgrave says like he was delivering yesterday’s weather report.

An intimate ambush.

The election Voters in the Tuesday general election will choose three candidates from the field of six selected in the lightly attended Feb. 26 primary.

Mike Amyx, a city commissioner and downtown barber shop owner, finished in the top spot.

He was followed by: Jeremy Farmer, the chief executive of the food bank Just Food; Terry Riordan, a Lawrence pediatrician; Rob Chestnut, a former city commissioner and a chief financial officer of a private company; Scott Criqui, an executive with Lawrence’s nonprofit Trinity In-Home Care; and Leslie Soden, the owner of a Lawrence pet-care business.

TOPEKA — Criticism of the federal overhaul of health care flows freely inside the Republicandominated Kansas Statehouse, but Gov. Sam Brownback and legislators haven’t formally rejected an expansion of the state’s Medicaid program under the law championed by President Barack Obama.

Republican officials question whether the federal government will keep its promise to finance most of the cost if Kansas opts in. A Brownback administration study suggested that the state’s Medicaid costs would balloon by nearly $600 million over the next decade if the state expanded the program in line with the Democratic president’s policies.

Jury deadlocks in first-degree murder trial WICHITA — Jurors have deadlocked in the trial of a man charged with killing a Wichita woman while on parole for killing a Lawrence woman.

The Wichita Eagle reports that a mistrial was declared Friday in the first-degreemurder trial of 47-year-old Tyrone Walker. Sedgwick County prosecutors allege he killed 44-year-old Janis Sanders in 2011.

At the time of the killing, Walker was on parole for the

murder of 25-year-old Tamara Baker, whose body was found in 1989 near Lawrence.

During the trial, jurors were informed of the Lawrence killing. They also heard that Walker’s DNA was found on the shoelace used to strangle Sanders and on scrapings taken from under Sanders’ fingernails. Other testimony came from two witnesses who recalled seeing Walker headed toward Sanders on the day she disappeared.

Senators added a provision Brownback to a budget bill saying no money could be spent on an expansion without lawmakers’ approval first — but that’s already seen as a given because of legislative oversight of spending.

Lawmakers’ hesitation gives advocates of an expansion hope that they eventually can change enough minds to bring tens of thousands of uninsured Kansans into Medicaid. “We’re very optimistic that members of the Legislature aren’t closing the door to expanding access to help cover more people,� said Anna Lambertson, coordinator of the Kansas Medicaid Access Coalition, an alliance of 40 advocacy groups favor-

ing an expansion.

The state’s $3 billiona-year Medicaid program covers health care for about 343,000 needy and disabled Kansans, with the federal government providing a majority of the funds. The 2010 federal health care law encourages states to expand their programs in an effort to decrease the number of Americans without health insurance, promising to pay all of the cost through 2016. While the federal government’s share would decline, it would remain at 90 percent for 2020 and beyond.

A study commissioned by the state Department of Health and Environment said an expansion would pull 226,000 additional people into Medicaid by 2016 — and result in government health coverage for about 20 percent of the state’s population. “We’ve got to be able to afford it — that’s the bottom line on it,� Brownback told reporters last week.

Legislators eyeing tax exemptions

At Easter events, kids hop to it

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

After collecting five eggs from the pool, the children could receive a ticket. They exchanged the ticket for a goody bag filled with candy and a free, personalized, frosted cookie from Eileenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colossal Cookies.

Children who were pre-registered could also arrive to the event early and participate in craft-making.

Rachel Sullivan, Parks and Recreationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aquatic programmer, said 108 children signed up for the event, an increase from the 70 children who

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A fight over the tax status of for-profit fitness clubs may lead to a review of many tax exemptions on the books in Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is inequity in our tax law, and it needs to be addressed,â&#x20AC;? said Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita.

Wagle said she wants a study done after the legislative session on the issue of nonprofit organizations, such as the YMCA, receiving tax exemptions.

Some conservative Republicans have made it clear that they oppose tax breaks for non-profit groups that compete with private businesses.

The issue arose during debate over Senate Bill 72, LEGISLATURE which would exempt private health clubs from local property taxes.

Conservatives said it was unfair that the private clubs paid local taxes and had to compete with YMCAs, which are tax-exempt.

The measure was approved, 25-14.

The legislation was supported primarily by Rodney Steven, who owns Genesis Health Clubs.

Democrats and some Republicans opposed the measure, saying it would deprive local governments of needed property tax revenue.

They also said that non-profits like the YMCA earn their tax-exempt status by providing community services, such as afterschool programs, affordable childcare, and the promotion of youth sports.

Democrats noted that Steven made large campaign contributions to Republican legislative leaders, but those legislators have denied his contributions had anything to do with their position on the bill.

attended last year.

For the older children, the city filled some of the eggs with plaster to make them sink so they were harder to find.

“The kids really like it because they get to dive to the bottom of the pool to get them,” Sullivan said.

There were also six golden eggs that were hidden well, and the children who turned those in received an extra prize.

Lawrence resident Haining Lou’s 5-year-old daughter is learning to swim, so she likes coming to the pool, which is part of why Lou brought her to search for eggs.

“That would be a good process,” Hensley said.

But Hensley noted that attempts in the past to end exemptions have failed, and in some cases led to more exemptions.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, observed, “The budget reality and the political reality is that removing sales tax exemptions is a very, very difficult thing to do.”

In 2010, there was a

The city announced Friday that the hunt, sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department and Hy-Vee, would be relocated to both Hy-Vee stores in the city because of the forecast of inclement weather, but the stores didn’t host egg hunts. The Easter Bunny did make a visit to each store and employees had treats for the children near the entrance of the stores.

Mike Gowing, manager of perishables at Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, said the stores don’t have the capacity to host an actual egg hunt, so the bags of goodies were available for the children instead.

“We still wanted to do something fun for the kids,” Gowing said.

proposed non-binding resolution in support of a moratorium on granting new tax exemptions, tax credits and economic development incentives that involved the use of employer withholding taxes.

At the time, then-Kansas Department of Revenue Secretary Joan Wagnon said that since 1985, the number of sales tax exemptions had grown from 30 to 96; income tax credits from six to 43; and property tax exemptions from 43 to 102.

But the proposed moratorium went nowhere in the Legislature.

The Kansas Chamber of Commerce, several local chambers of commerce and other business groups were opposed to resolution, saying it could impede economic development.

BRIEFLY KU juniors awarded gifted scholarships Two Kansas University juniors have won Barry M. Goldwater scholarships for gifted students in science, technology, engineering and math, KU announced Friday.

KU’s winners were Qi Chen, an Overland Park junior majoring in chemical engineering with minors in economics and math, and Lianna Dang, a Shawnee junior majoring in chemistry.

Both plan to pursue KANSAS UNIVERSITY doctorates in hopes of research careers. Both are also part of KU’s Honors Program.

They were among 271 U.S. college sophomores and juniors awarded the scholarship for this year, chosen from about 1,100 applicants.

Congress created the Goldwater scholarships in 1986 in honor of the former U.S. senator. They’re meant to help produce future scientists, engineers and mathematicians, and winners are chosen based on academic merit.

Since the program’s creation, 55 KU students have won Goldwater scholarships, including Chen and Dang.

Ayala could be sent to prison for that time if he violates the terms of probation, Malone said.

Two juveniles also arrested in the case remain charged with several offenses, including aggravated robbery, conspiracy and weapons charges, Douglas County prosecutors said, and charges could be filed again against Caleb Christopher Mar Sheridan.

The juveniles’ names have not been made public because of their age.

• A 22-year-old Jefferson County man has been charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery, and domestic battery in Jefferson County Court in connection with a domestic disturbance, according to prosecutors.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig said Marcel Smith was arrested by Atchison police Monday after fleeing the scene of the incident.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nao, the robot.

In 2012, the district received a grant worth $21,785 from Cargill Corporation for acquisition of the robot.

It arrived around the first of March and both instructor Steve Stacey and four advanced programming students are getting acquainted with the walking, talking Japanese-manufactured robot that came with the name Nao. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can do anything we program him to do,â&#x20AC;? Stacey said.

Last week when The News visited Staceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classroom, Nao not only was the topic of conversation, he also joined in the conversation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the help of quick-witted students positioned at computers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you like to see me dance?â&#x20AC;? Nao asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? said Stacey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fine, then,â&#x20AC;? Nao said.

When Nao asked Stacey if he liked chocolate, Stacey answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;?

Nao came back with: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you even have taste buds?â&#x20AC;? That line, written by sophomore Gage Brown, caused Stacey to

WHEEL GENIUS

Road work planned for this week Lawrence City construction projects are now mapped at lawks.us/construction-map.

The city will continue reworking the entire roadway of Iowa Street from Bob Billings Parkway south to the Irving Hill Overpass. Major delays are expected as there will only be one lane of traffic open in each direction.

The city recommends that drivers avoid the area and use 23rd and Sixth streets to go east and west and Kasold Drive or Kentucky Street to go north and south. Construction is projected to last through May.

Street concrete will be reworked this week on Nicklaus Drive, Palmer Drive and Hogan Drive,

east of Inverness Drive.

Through traffic will generally be maintained, but there may be street closures.

The city will add a traffic signal at 23rd Street and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Road as part of the improvements planned to assist in development of the former Farmland Industries plant on east

K-10 Highway. The project also includes geometric improvements at the intersection, including a westbound left-turn lane and adding turn lanes on the north approach to the intersection.

Two lanes of east/west traffic will be available at all times for travel.

Expected completion: June.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD to look at ways to reduce the impact on the private curbside companies.

He said he is reluctant for the city to become too involved in denying future apartment developments based on concerns that the city already has Farmer too many apartments.

He said the biggest impact of an oversupply of apartments might be a reduction in rent rates across the city, so the biggest risk of overdeveloping apartments rests with the developers.

Farmer said the city needs to have a community discussion about what type of retail market it wants to support. He said he believes many residents would approve of another home improvement store being located next to Home Depot because it would increase competition and add jobs to the city.

Terry Riordan Riordan said an expanded rental inspection program is needed to improve safety in the city.

He said he would like to see a program that â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as negative toward those rental units that are in good shape.â&#x20AC;?

Riordan believes the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curbside recycling program will be positive for the environment. He said he has some concern that people will have to pay for the program whether they want it or not, but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push to change that provision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Riordan in this society together,â&#x20AC;? Riordan said.

Riordan said he is concerned that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment industry may become overbuilt and that older units in the center of the city will become dilapidated. But he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how you solve it because I think it really is a free-market issue.â&#x20AC;?

Riordan said he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;listen and seriously considerâ&#x20AC;? projects that propose retail development in areas of town not currently planned for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that is an area you have to look at for expanding,â&#x20AC;?

Riordan said of the former Gaslight Mobile Home Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would rather have a Menards in another area of town, but it is the freeenterprise system.â&#x20AC;?

Leslie Soden Soden said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rental licensing program needs to be expanded to all rental units in the city. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned the current system promotes â&#x20AC;&#x153;selective enSoden forcement,â&#x20AC;? which she believes is a problem at City Hall.

Soden said she supports the planned recycling program. She said the city should have had a citywide curbside recycling system â&#x20AC;&#x153;years ago.â&#x20AC;?

She said she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;really concernedâ&#x20AC;? about the amount and type of apartment construction occurring in Lawrence. She said most new apartments are one- and two-bedroom units, which donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promote affordable living for families. She said the city needs to take vacancy rates and other market data into greater consideration when approving or denying apartment developments.

Soden said she also is concerned about the vacancy rates in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retail market, and is worried the city has approved too much retail development for the area near Sixth Street and the SLT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say when we fill up the bigbox development that we already have, then we can start talking about more big-box stores,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

“I’m a Marine and we never leave our wounded,” Musgrave says. “That is what makes me get out of bed in the mornings.”

These days, Musgrave is hopeful that the Ken Burns film will be a vehicle that carries many who have been left wounded by the Vietnam War. “There are people who would never watch a documentary about Vietnam, but they’ll watch this one because it is Ken Burns,” Musgrave said.

“We have to do what we can to never allow Americans to forget, because they really would prefer to forget that war. My greatest responsibility is to make sure that people understand the men and women who died in that war died as honorably as any who have died in any war.”

I do something I normally don’t do at the end of an interview. I thank the man for much more than his time. I listen to people’s stories for a living, and I tell him that is one of the more meaningful ones I’ve ever heard firsthand.

John knows I still don’t understand.

“That,” he says, simply “happened every day in that war.”

A single sentence sure can say so much.

Source: Business, labor reach deal on worker program

By Erica Werner Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Big business and labor have struck a deal on a new low-skilled worker program, removing the biggest hurdle to completion of sweeping immigration legislation allowing 11 million illegal immigrants eventual U.S. citizenship, a person with knowledge of the talks said Saturday.

The agreement was reached in a phone call late Friday night with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of Commerce head Tom Donohue, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been mediating the dispute.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement, said the deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included.

Those disputes had led talks to break down a week ago, throwing into doubt whether Schumer and seven other senators crafting a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill would be able to complete their work as planned.

The deal must still be signed off on by the other senators working with Schumer, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to happen. With the agreement in place, the senators are expected to unveil their legislation the week of April 8. Their measure would secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13-year pathway to citi-

zenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major secondterm priority of President Barack Obama and would usher in the most dramatic changes to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faltering immigration system in more than two decades.

The AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce, longtime antagonists over temporary worker programs, had been fighting over wages for tens of thousands of low-skilled workers who would be brought in under the new program to fill jobs in construction, hotels and resorts, nursing homes and restaurants, and other industries.

Under the agreement, a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; visa program would go into effect beginning April 1, 2015, according to another official involved with the talks who also spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.

In year one of the program, 20,000 workers would be allowed in; in year two, 35,000; in year three, 55,000; and in year four, 75,000. Ultimately the program would be capped at 200,000 workers a year, but the number of visas would fluctuate, depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal bureau pushed by the labor movement as an objective monitor of the market.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;safety valveâ&#x20AC;? would allow employers to exceed the cap if they can show need and pay premium wages, but any additional workers brought in would be subtracted from the following yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Business has sought temporary worker programs in a quest for a cheaper workforce, but labor has opposed the programs because of concerns over working conditions and the effect on jobs and wages for U.S. workers. The issue helped sink the last major attempt at immigration overhaul in 2007, which the AFL-CIO opposed partly because of temporary worker provisions, and the flare-up earlier this month sparked concerns that the same thing would happen this time around.

N. Korea says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;state of warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Sam Kim Associated Press

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Korea warned Seoul on Saturday that the Korean Peninsula had entered â&#x20AC;&#x153;a state of warâ&#x20AC;? and threatened to shut down a border factory complex thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation.

Analysts say a full-scale conflict is extremely unlikely, noting that the Korean Peninsula has remained in a technical state of war for 60 years.

But the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued threats toward Seoul and Washington, including a vow to launch a nuclear strike, have raised worries that a misjudgment between the sides could lead to a clash.

In Washington, the White House said Saturday that the United States is taking seriously the new threats by North Korea but also noted Pyongyangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bellicose rhetoric.â&#x20AC;?

North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threats are seen as efforts to provoke the new government in Seoul, led

by President Park Geunhye, to change its policies toward Pyongyang, and to win diplomatic talks with Washington that could get it more aid. North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves are also seen as ways to build domestic unity as

young leader Kim Jong Un strengthens his military credentials.

On Thursday, U.S. military officials revealed that two B-2 stealth bombers dropped dummy munitions on an uninhabited South Korean island as part of annual defense drills that Pyongyang sees as rehearsals for invasion.

Hours later, Kim ordered his generals to put rockets on standby and threatened to strike American targets if provoked.

North Korea said in a statement Saturday that it would deal with South Korea according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wartime regulationsâ&#x20AC;? and would retaliate against any provocations by the United States and South Korea without notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have entered into an actual military action, the inter-Korean relations have naturally entered the state of war,â&#x20AC;? said the statement, which was carried by Pyongyangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official Korean Central News Agency, referring to the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official name, the Democratic Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of Korea.

Provocations â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war,â&#x20AC;? the statement said.

Pope presides over trimmed Easter service

By Nicole Winfield

VATICAN CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pope Francis celebrated a trimmed-back Easter Vigil service Saturday after having reached out to Muslims and women during a Holy Week in which he began to put his mark on the Catholic Church.

Francis processed into a darkened and silent St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica at the start of the service, in which the faithful recall the period between Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucifixion on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Sunday.

One of the most dramatic moments of the Easter Vigil service that usually follows â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the pope would share the light of his candle with others until the entire basilica twinkled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was shortened this year, as were some of the Old Testament readings.

The Vatican has said these provisions were in keeping with Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aim to not have his Masses go on too long. The Easter Vigil service under Benedict XVI would typically run nearly three hours.

The new pope has made clear he prefers his Masses short and to the point: he was even caught checking his watch during his March 19 installation ceremony. Saturday was no different: The vigil ended just shy of 2.5 hours.

A trimmed-back vigil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one that started earlier than usual â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was just one of the novelties of this Holy Week under an Argentine Jesuit pope who just two weeks

VATICAN CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Shroud of Turin went on display for a special TV appearance Saturday amid new research disputing claims itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a medieval fake and purporting to date the linen some say was Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; burial cloth to around the time of his death.

Pope Francis sent a special video message to the event in Turinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cathedral, but made no claim that the image on the shroud of a man with wounds similar to those suffered by Christ was really that of Jesus. He called the cloth an â&#x20AC;&#x153;icon,â&#x20AC;?

not a relic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an important distinction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This image, impressed upon the cloth, speaks to our heart and moves us to climb the hill of Calvary, to look upon the wood of the Cross, and to immerse ourselves in the eloquent silence of love,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Many experts stand by carbon-dating of scraps of the cloth that date it to the 13th or 14th century.

However, some have suggested the dating results might have been skewed by contamination and have called for a larger sample to be analyzed.

2012, including such things as youth camps and before- and after-school programs.

There’s nothing wrong with profits, and Steven’s entitled to earn one, but he’s not entitled to a “level playing field” that really mixes apples and oranges.

Opponents of the measure point out that local governments depend upon property taxes. In Lawrence, for example, one local facility paid more than $54,000 in property tax last year.

Opponents of the bill — mostly Democrats, but also a few Republicans — point out that “Ys” and other nonprofits provide programs and services that private health clubs do not. The same is true of city recreation centers like those in Lawrence, which provide free play facilities and other services for the community. Sen. Anthony Hensley, DTopeka, called the tax exemption “a special interest carve-out of the worst kind.” Others took note of Steven’s $45,000 in donations to state Senate candidates and observed that a majority of the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee members got financial support from Steven or Genesis.

If, indeed, the Legislature is going to create some level playing fields, what about hospitals, or golf courses? How about a tax break for Alvamar and Lawrence Country Club, which compete with the city’s Eagle Bend course in Lawrence? What about forprofit training schools vs. public technical schools and other educational institutions?

Fair is fair. Or not!

Applying the health club tax exemption thinking to other enterprises helps reveal its folly and lends credence to the idea that this legislation is “a special interest carve-out” designed primarily to repay a political debt. For-profit health clubs don’t serve the same purpose or population as city-owned or nonprofit facilities and they shouldn’t get the same tax exemptions.

Not all fields are meant to be level. Get over it! Move on. Don’t expect special treatment from lawmakers to solve your problems.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 31, 1913: YEARS “The directors of AGO the Lake View club IN 1913 had a meeting Saturday afternoon at the club house. ... It was decided to work on the lake and grounds this summer. The water supply will be increased and abundant vegetation in the east lake will be started.

All boats will be prohibited from the east lake while the vegetation is getting started.... Prof. L. L. Dyche who attended the meeting has agreed to put a car load of game fish in the lake after seining it thoroughly and determining what kinds are needed most.”

We must save our children from guns Jonylah Watkins died on a Tuesday.

She was with her father, who was sitting in a minivan in Chicago on the night of March 11 when someone opened fire. Doctors worked 17 hours trying to repair what a bullet had done to her body, but to no avail. She died the next morning. Her funeral was about two weeks ago. She was 6 months old.

Antonio Santiago was 7 months older when his mother put him in a stroller and took him for a walk in their Brunswick, Ga., neighborhood. Sherry West says they were accosted by two teenagers demanding money. She told them she didn’t have any.

West says they shot Antonio in the face and killed him.

This happened two days after Jonylah’s funeral.

An Associated Press reporter was on hand a day later as the boy’s father tried to comfort his child’s mother.

“He’s all right” Luis Santiago told her, smiling for her benefit. “He’s potty training upstairs in heaven.”

Which is, of course, the very foundation of faith, the belief that even tragedy will work ultimately for the good, that in the end, the bitterest tears transmute to the greatest joy. That is, in essence, what is commemorated this

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Once again, the nation endorses the Orwellian logic which would ‘solve’ the problem of too many guns by adding more guns.”

Easter week. It marks the morning when, we Christians believe, a carpenterturned-itinerant-rabbi, overcame death itself, rolled a stone aside and walked out of his own tomb.

In the King James Bible, in the book of Matthew, the rabbi — Jesus — is quoted as saying, “Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

When I was a kid, that always confused me. I wondered why children were commanded to suffer. But, as later translations confirm, the word was used in

its old English sense, meaning: to permit or allow. Let the children come to me, He is saying, for they are the essence of grace. Love the children.

Two thousand years later, a singer named Marvin Gaye turned that command into a stark plea: Save the children.

As a nation, as a people, we have failed at both.

Nearly 100,000 people will be shot this year according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

17,000 will be younger than 19. So almost 5,000 kids have been shot since the Newtown massacre in December, the one that was supposed to make us finally get serious about gun violence.

That toll speaks unflattering volumes about our seriousness. As does a Politico report that support is softening for laws that would expand background checks and impose other common-sense restrictions on gun ownership. A Florida state legislative panel just voted to support a bill allowing teachers to bring guns to school. Once again, the nation endorses the Orwellian logic that would “solve” the problem of too many guns by adding more guns.

How do you suppose we would explain that to Jonyl-

ah or Antonio? Which of the gun lobby’s inane platitudes would we use to justify our failure to keep them safe? Jonylah, guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Antonio, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun ...

Sigh.

This year, as every year, foes of abortion publicly mourn the loss of babies who could have been. But they — we — remain silent on the loss of babies who actually were, who died because we could not get our act together, because ours is a nation that does not simply enable private gun ownership, but that worships and fetishizes it to the point where sensible restriction — even sensible conversation — seems impossible.

As a result, we are a nation where what happened to Jonylah and Antonio has become grimly, sadly ... routine. That fact alone starkly illustrates the insanity to which we have devolved, and the challenge that faces faith this Easter week.

We keep crying the bitter tears. We are still waiting for the joy.

Defend Big 12?

Of course KU can Barring a surprising decision to return to school by Ben McLemore, Kansas University’s basketball team will have five new starters when the season opens in November. That’s no way to defend a conference title.

Or is it?

Tenth-year KU coach Bill Self has been there, done that. He lost all five starters after the 2005 loss to Bucknell. The next season, with a starting lineup that featured three freshmen and two sophomores who had played sparingly the previous season, Kansas shared the Big 12 title with a veteran, starstudded Texas squad.

KU again lost all five starters after winning the national title in 2008 and the next season, with two freshmen, two sophomores and a junior, finished a game ahead of Blake Griffin-led Oklahoma to win the Big 12 outright. Sherron Collins played starter minutes his first two seasons as sixth man, and Cole Aldrich had blossomed in the 2008 Final Four with his breakout game against North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough.

The 2005-06 situation more closely resembles next season’s outlook in that Kansas has very little experience returning.

Perry Ellis will be the foundation. He sprints the floor like a guard, making him a valuable player in transition in both directions. He has more moves in the low post than Sybil had personalities. He soars high for rebounds, handles the ball extremely well and will grow as a defender, although he probably won’t ever develop into a shot-blocker.

The hard-to-guard Ellis will become even more so once his mid-range jumper becomes more of a weapon.

In the last seven games of a 31-6 season, Ellis averaged 26.5 points and 12.7 rebounds per 40 minutes (19.9/9.6 per 30 minutes), shot 66 percent from the field and 86 percent from

NORFOLK, VA. — Basketball?

This is more of a match-up of socio-cultural phenomena.

“Angel Goodrich was a rock star over in Tallaquah (Okla.),” Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said Saturday on the eve of the 12thseeded Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game against Notre Dame, topseeded in the Norfolk bracket.

He started tweeting about her, and instantly celebrity status came. Forty thousand Twitter followers that day, up to 300,000 now.”

In today’s 11 a.m. game within the game, the point guards stand out.

“It’s a marquee match-up in

which you will see two great point guards going at it,” said McGraw, who added that she thought Kansas (20-13) was “underseeded.” “It will be exciting. Both teams want to run and score a lot. The ball will be put in their hands most of the game, so it will be a great battle and a great TV game.”

Jayhawks bemoan end for seniors

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Perry Ellis stared straight ahead in a somber Dallas Cowboys locker room with a pained look on his face Friday night after Kansas University’s overtime loss to Michigan in the Sweet 16.

Ellis, who scored eight Please see KEEGAN, page 5B points and grabbed five re-

bounds in the Jayhawks’ 8785 defeat, wasn’t so sad for himself as much as his mentors — the Jayhawks’ four senior starters whose college careers came to a crashing end.

“I just feel bad that we let our seniors down,” said Ellis, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound freshman out of Wichita. “We really wanted to let them go

out in a great way, and unfortunately we fell short.”

Ellis has plenty of games left to play in a Jayhawk jersey, while the college careers of Elijah Johnson, Travis Releford, Jeff Withey and Kevin Young end following a 31-6 senior season. A McDonald’s All-American who came on strong late in the season, Ellis finished with freshman

Sources: Tubby in talks with Tech The Associated Press

Fired Minnesota basketball coach Tubby Smith could have a job before the Golden Gophers fill his vacancy.

Smith is in talks with Texas Tech to become the next head coach of the Red Raiders, two people with knowledge of the conversation told the Associated Press on Saturday night.

Tech has been in the market

for a permanent head coach since last September, when Billy Gillispie resigned citing health concerns. He left under a cloud of allegations of player mistreatment during his one season at the helm. Interim coach Chris Walker went 11-20 this season and just 3-15 in Big 12 play.

Smith, who also could draw some interest from New Mexico after Steve Alford abruptly left for UCLA this week, was

fired Monday after six seasons at Minnesota. He led the Golden Gophers to three NCAA tournaments and won at least 20 games five times. This season he helped the Gophers capture their first tourney victory since 1997 when they beat sixth-seeded UCLA in the second round.

Smith was credited with running a clean program at Minnesota, a big priority for a school that had been buried by an aca-

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Time

By Jeff Seidel Detroit Free Press

ARLINGTON, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nine seconds to play.

Michigan had an 87-85 lead in this improbable, amazing, magical, Trey Burke-inspired, wild comeback in a regional semifinal Friday night against Kansas in Cowboys Stadium.

Michigan coach John Beilein put in his best defensive players. It all came down to one play. One shot. Win or lose.

Magic or heartbreak.

Kansas had to take the ball the length of the court.

Beilein took a knee on the sideline, looking calm.

Kansas guard Elijah Johnson dribbled up the court, drove around Jordan Morgan and got into the lane. That was the story all game long. Michigan couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep Kansas out of the paint. But Johnson kicked the ball back outside.

This was it. The moment.

Win or lose. Right here.

Naadir Tharpe launched a three-pointer. Off the glass. Off the rim.

Michigan won.

On to the Elite Eight.

Beilein stood on the court.

Smiling. Almost in disbelief.

This amazing group of kids had done the impossible. The Wolverines had come back from 14 points down with less than seven minutes to play.

Tim Hardaway Jr. launched the ball up into the air in celebration. And it looked as if the Wolverines were floating in the air now.

This is what it looks like when you slide down the rainbow and end up. Where? The Elite Eight, baby.

Midway through the second half, the game was all but over.

Michigan was done. Season over. Good-bye Burke, have a nice NBA career.

Top-seeded Kansas seemed to get every loose ball. Every key rebound. Every time fourth-seeded Michigan had life, Kansas would hit a big three-point shot.

Which brings us to Kansas guard Ben McLemore, who had come into this game ice-cold in the tournament. He had made just one of 12 shots from three-point range in the NCAA Tournament.

But he scored at will against the Wolverines, scoring 20 points. Nothing was working for Michigan.

Kansas was killing Michigan in the paint, scoring 60 points.

It looked like Kansas was playing tackle football. But Michigan was playing twohanded touch.

The problem: Michigan was trying to shoot over the Eiffel Tower. At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it looked like forcing the ball over Jeff Withey, a 7-foot senior.

Withey had only two blocks in the first half, but he forced the Wolverines to change several shots. And then, suddenly, there was a heartbeat.

A slight pulse.

Michigan fought back.

Thanks to Burke. Thanks to Mitch McGary. Thanks to a total Kansas collapse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never gave up,â&#x20AC;? Burke said.

Can they win it all? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can,â&#x20AC;? Burke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sound too cocky. But we have the talent and mentality.â&#x20AC;?

The Bruins are bringing in someone who shares the same Indiana roots as John Wooden, who led UCLA to a record 10 national championships, including seven in a row, before retiring in 1975. Alford learned about Wooden as a firstgrader in Martinsville, Ind., where his father, Sam, coached the high school basketball team at Woodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alma mater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since then, there was a draw to find out more about him,â&#x20AC;? Alford said on a teleconference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know my first steps into Pauley I will really feel that.â&#x20AC;?

Alford agreed to a seven-year deal worth $18.2 million, with a yearly salary of $2.6 million and a $200,000 signing bonus, according to UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero.

Alford will be introduced Tuesday in Westwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is truly a leap of faith,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Guerrero said UCLA reached out to Alford first, not knowing whether he would be interested in the Bruins. Once he confirmed he was, the details were finalized early Saturday, Guerrero said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not an easy decision because I was extremely happy,â&#x20AC;? Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was about as happy as I can be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I kept thinking about things, it still came back to UCLA. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the premier basketball program in the country. To have an opportunity like this, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come around every day.â&#x20AC;?

Guerrero said Alford is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the perfect fit for UCLAâ&#x20AC;? because he connects with a new generation of players and brings an up-tempo and team-oriented style of play to Westwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for this stage,â&#x20AC;? Guerrero said.

Alfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal with New Mexico, scheduled to take effect on April 1, was worth more than $20 million over 10 years.

Sporting KC blanks Montreal KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Claudio Bieler scored his third goal of the season, and Sporting Kansas City defeated previously unbeaten Montreal, 2-0, on Saturday night in a match that saw the ejection of Impact coach Marco Schaellibaum.

Schaellibaum was sent off in the 81st minute, shortly after Graham Zusiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal put Sporting up 2-0, and will miss the Impactâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home game against Columbus on April 13. Montreal lost for the first time after a 4-0 start.

Sporting (2-1-2) broke a three-match winless streak and a 197-minute goal drought, and Jimmy Nielsen recorded his third straight shutout. Benny Feilhaber recorded his first two assists of the season.

Bieler scored in the fifth minute and Zusi in the 80th.

Cink, Haas share Houston lead HUMBLE, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stewart Cink and Bill Haas wound up with a share of the lead Saturday in the Houston Open, and they have plenty of company.

Cink is winless in 81 starts on the PGA Tour since beating Tom Watson in the British Open at Turnberry in 2009. He had a 4-under 68 and was tied with Haas, who had a 67. Steve Wheatcroft, Ben Crane, D.A. Points and Jason Kokrak were one shot behind.

Former Kansas University Gary Woodland shot a third-round 73 and was at 1-under 215, 10 strokes off the lead.

LHS makes quick work of BVN

For more photos from Saturday’s games, go to LJWorld.com/highschool. by, who went 3-for-3 with a double and a triple, said Lawrence piled on early because senior CJ Stuever led off by ripping a single to right field.

“That gave us all confidence,” Willoughby said, “to step up there and put a good swing on the ball.”

Severa followed Stuever with a walk, and Willoughby drove them both home by pounding a triple to the right-field gap, giving LHS a 2-1 lead.

Junior Drew Green then scored Willoughby by popping a single to shallow left field. After sophomore Michael Sinks kept the Lions rolling with a single to right, junior Jacob Seratte knocked in Green, even though he hit into a double play.

“We’re all about hard

contact,” Willoughby said. “(The LHS coaches) don’t preach getting hits, they just preach hitting the ball hard. Today they fell, so that was nice.”

Willoughby drilled another hit to a gap in the third inning, coming up with a double to left, and gave LHS a 5-1 lead after moving to third on a passed ball before Green delivered an RBI sacrifice fly.

“He’s got such electric hands,” Stoll said of Willoughby. “I’m sure right now it looks like a beach ball for him. Hopefully it continues to look like a beach ball.”

The Lions increased their lead to 6-1 in the fifth after a Severa base hit drove in Stuever (2-for-3), who led off with a triple.

Twice after the first in-

ning, BVN put two runners on base — in the second and fourth. Both times, shortstop Willoughby and second baseman Sinks turned inningending double plays.

Said a grateful Rea: “That game I relied on my defense a lot. They bailed me out quite a few times.

They did their job, I did my job. All around, it was just a good game for our whole team.”

LHS will play at Shawnee Mission Northwest on Monday.

In her first at-bat of the season, Free State softball cleanup hitter Whitney Rothwell was ready for the outside pitch — her specialty — after teammates gave her the early scouting report on Shawnee Mission South starter Abby King.

It never came.

“She actually threw it, and it was right down the middle,” Rothwell said with a smile. “I didn’t even feel like I swung all the way through it, but it just went.”

Rothwell took King’s pitch deep to the opposite field, knocking it over the right-field wall for a threerun home run that started the Firebirds’ offense in 11-2 and 14-4 victories over Shawnee Mission South on Saturday afternoon.

“It was a good day for us overall,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said. “It kind of gave us a gauge of where we’re at.”

Free State, which had 19 practices before playing its first game, was most impressive offensively.

Weis: In Year 2, KU already improved “

They know me and I know them a whole lot For the first time since better than we did at 2009, Kansas University football coach Charlie this time last year.”

By Benton Smith

When Blue Valley North generated two extra-base hits in the top of the first inning off of Lawrence High starting pitcher Adam Rea, it seemed as if the Lions might be in for a long afternoon on the baseball diamond.

The one run Rea yielded to the defending Class 6A state champions to open the game, however, proved to be all the Mustangs could scrape together in a fast-paced, 6-1 Lawrence victory that lasted all of an hour and 22 minutes.

Nick Accurso tripled and scored on an RBI groundout for BVN (0-1), and Jake Harvey doubled on a bloop that diving LHS center fielder Kieran Severa nearly kept from dropping to the turf, but Rea got out of the inning otherwise unscathed.

From that point on, BVN didn’t get a runner past second base. A senior right-hander, Rea improved to 2-0 after allowing just four hits and two walks in six innings.

“It all starts on the defensive end,” Rea said. “If we keep up a good pace in the game, it transfers to the offensive (side). That’s what we did throughout the whole game.”

Lions coach Brad Stoll said Rea set the tone.

“It’s all kind of related to how fast the game goes when your starting pitcher just throws strikes and works fast,” Stoll said after LHS improved to 4-0.

“To his credit, he did a wonderful job today just pounding the zone and working fast. That’s fun to play defense behind.”

The Lions made sure the game turned out enjoyable by responding to an early 1-0 hole by scoring four runs in the bottom of the first.

Weis is starting a season in the same place he finished the previous one.

Fired by Notre Dame in 2009 after a five-year run as the leader of the Fighting Irish, Weis became the offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010, but he left the area after helping lead the Chiefs to the playoffs.

He returned to college football in 2011 at Florida, where he served as the Gators’ offensive coordinator before accepting the job at KU in December of 2011.

“I could have stayed at those places too,” Weis said. “It just didn’t work out that way. I didn’t choose to leave Notre Dame; they chose that for me. I went to the Chiefs and my daughter had a bad experience (in Kansas City), so that’s why we left there. I went to Florida and really had no intentions of leaving there, but after talking to (KU athletic director) Dr. (Sheahon) Zenger a few times, I just felt like this was a place that I wanted to be, and want to be for a long time.

Now, if I want to be here for a long time, there are a lot of things that have to change. One them is we have to start winning more football games. That would be a good place to get to this year.”

In many ways, working to improve last season’s 1-11 record is what spring football is about for the Jayhawks during Weis’ second season in charge.

Football was the main emphasis last spring, too, but in addition to worrying about X’s and O’s, coaching chemistry and player development, Weis had a long list of tasks outside of the game that he made a priority.

“People talk about changing the culture; I don’t call it changing the culture, I mean cleaning out the program,” he said.

“And let’s not say that with all a negative vibe, but cleaning out the program meant top to bottom.”

In addition to saying goodbye to 29 players — former Jayhawks who transferred, graduated or were dismissed — Weis put a renewed emphasis on academics, accountability and punctuality and did not leave any wiggle room. Although such efforts may not have shown up in the win-loss column, Weis said having such staples in place this spring has made for a much smoother beginning to Year 2.

“They know me and I know them a whole lot better than we did at this time last year,” he said.

“There’s really no gray area any more. It’s all black and white. It’s this way or that way. There’s no, ‘How am I gonna look at that?’ They know what my reaction’s gonna be.”

Competition raging One thing Weis missed throughout his first spring in charge of the Jayhawks was the presence of hard-

— Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis core position battles throughout the depth chart. There were some, but, for the most part, the separation between the first and second units at this time last year was so vast that Weis had limited options of how he could motivate his guys.

That’s not the case any longer.

“We have better competition in two aspects,” he said. “You have better competition within your own depth chart on offense and defense and then you have better competition offense against defense. Now you have decent players going against decent players and that makes everybody better. There is competition on each side of the ball and then there’s much, much better competition when the offense and defense are going against each other. Much better than it ever was at any time last spring.”

Coaching clinic, April 5 Weis and his staff will be hosting their annual football coaches clinic April 5-6 at KU. The two-day clinic, which is open to any coaches interested in attending, will feature access to two practices and several coaching lectures.

For more information, contact assistant director of football operations, Maurice Crum, Jr., via email at mcrum@ku.edu or by calling (785) 8648203. Registration and a clinic schedule are available online at www.kuathletics.com.

Kids clinic, April 13 The Jayhawks, once again, are planning to host the wildly popular “Train Like a Jayhawk” kid’s clinic from 10-11 a.m. on April 13, the morning of the annual spring football game.

The clinic is open to children in grades 1-6 and will feature instruction and drill stations taught by the current Jayhawks. All activity will take place on the KU football practice fields adjacent to the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium. Each participant will receive a free T-shirt.

Following the clinic, the Hy-Vee Hawkzone will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the spring game kicking off at 1 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Alumni weekend Weis and the KU football program will be hosting a barbecue on April 12 for any former KU football players who can make it.

The event, the second of its kind under Weis’ leadership, is open to all former players and their families and will take place the evening before KU’s annual spring game.

For more information or to RSVP, contact Tracey Dillon at tmdillon@ ku.edu or via telephone at (785) 864-3142.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

ELITE EIGHT ROUNDUP

Wichita State shakes up Final Four The Associated Press

East Regional

West Regional

No. 4 Syracuse 55, No. 3 Marquette 39 WASHINGTON — When played to perfection, there’s nothing quite like Syracuse’s aggressive, half-court 2-3 zone defense.

It’s 40 minutes of trapping and shot-challenging, of closing off angles, of trusting teammates.

“We showed,” senior guard Brendan Triche said, “that defense wins games.”

Yes, the Orange D certainly does.

With a second suffocating performance at the East Regional, No. 4-seeded Syracuse shut down No. 3 Marquette Saturday to earn coach Jim Boeheim his fourth trip to the Final Four — and first since a freshman named Carmelo Anthony helped win the 2003 NCAA championship.

“A tremendous, tremendous defensive effort,” Boeheim said.

Fittingly, a match-up between schools from the soon-to-break-apart, rough-and-tumble Big East became quite a struggle on the offensive end. Syracuse (30-9) was led by senior forward James Southerland’s 16 points. Michael Carter-Williams, a 6-foot6 guard who is out front in the zone, was named the regional’s top player after accounting for 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, five steals and only one turnover Saturday.

Marquette (26-9) hadn’t scored fewer than 47 points all season — and, indeed, put up 74 in a victory over Syracuse on Feb. 25.

But this time, Marquette kept turning the ball over, seeing its shots blocked or just plain missing.

The Golden Eagles’ 39 points were a record low for a team in an NCAA tournament regional final since the shot clock was introduced in 1986.

“They beat us from start to finish. We collectively tried everything we knew to try,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. “It is the zone, and it is the players in the zone.”

Much like what happened Thursday in the regional semifinals, when Syracuse knocked off topseeded Indiana by limiting it to a season-low output, too.

“I don’t think we’ve played as good defensively as these last two games,” Triche said. “We held some good teams down.”

All told, Marquette made only 12 of 53 shots — 23 percent — and was 3-for-24 on three-pointers.

Vander Blue, who carried Marquette to the round of eight, was held to 14 points on 3-for-15 shooting.

“They cover ground really good. You’ve got to get the ball in the middle, you’ve got to play inside out, you’ve got to get to the free-throw line and wear them down with the three-pointer when you can,” Blue said. “They’re really good at what they do in that zone.”

Consider these numbers through four games in the tournament: Syracuse is averaging 6.5 blocks and 10.8 steals, while forcing opponents into 29 percent shooting, including 15 percent on threes.

The next team to try to solve that defense will be the winner of today’s South Regional final between Florida and Michigan.

No. 9 Wichita State 70, No. 2 Ohio State 66 LOS ANGELES — Cleanthony Early kept stealing glances down at the hat in his hands while he waited for his turn to climb the stepladder, scissors in hand. The Wichita State forward seemed stunned at the words embroidered on his brand new ballcap: “Final Four Atlanta.”

“It’s crazy. I still can’t believe we’re here,” Early said. “You try to expect it, but you expect a lot of things that don’t happen.

This really happened.”

Believe it. Wichita State is going to Atlanta, and these Shockers are no longer a surprise after the way the tenacious ninth seeds held off mighty Ohio State in the West Regional final.

Malcolm Armstead scored 14 points, Fred Van Vleet bounced in a big basket with one minute left, and Wichita State earned its first trip to the Final Four since 1965 with a 70-66 victory over the Buckeyes on Saturday.

Van Vleet scored 12 points as the Shockers (308) followed up last week’s win over top-ranked Gonzaga with a nail-biting victory over the secondseeded Buckeyes (29-8), whose 11-game winning streak ended one short of their second straight Final Four. Wichita State’s 20-point lead in the second half dwindled to three in the final minutes, but several Shockers stepped up with big plays to stop the surge, heeding coach Gregg Marshall’s halftime command to “play angry.”

All that anger turned into a joyous postgame party at midcourt, even though the Shockers realize they’ve got more work to do.

Wichita State is just the fifth team seeded ninth or higher to reach the Final Four since seeding began in 1979, but the second in three years following 11thseeded VCU’s improbable run in 2011. The Shockers’ celebration was wild, if a bit disbelieving, in front of several thousand roaring fans.

“Last year we were watching all this on television,” said Early, who scored 12 points despite spraining his ankle in the second half. “Now I’m looking at a hat that says ‘Final Four Atlanta’ with my team on it. ... It feels good, and it feels even better that I could experience it with these guys who had to struggle so hard to get here.”

Wichita State roared to a 20-point lead with 11 minutes to play after Ohio State played an awful first half, but LaQuinton Ross scored 15 of his 19 points after halftime, leading a ferocious rally that got the Buckeyes within three points in the final minutes.

Tekele Cotton hit a clutch three-pointer for Wichita State with 2:20 left and grabbed a key offensive rebound moments later, allowing VanVleet to score on a shot that bounced all over the rim before dropping. Ron Baker and Cotton hit last-minute free throws to secure the second Final Four trip in Wichita State’s history and a school-record 30th win.

“We’re happy, but I’m still shocked,” said Carl Hall, the glasses-wearing big man who scored eight points and led the Shockers’ strong defensive effort. “We’ve got a team full of fighters. I brought them all together near the end and said, ‘No matter what happens, I love y’all.’ We had to fight so hard. We’ve got each other’s backs, and it’s hard to beat a team that’s got five guys who work together like us.”

Deshaun Thomas scored 21 points after missing nine of his first 12 shots for Ohio State, which made just 24 percent of its first-half shots.

E 'i:;i FE -F ":ci\ic J9 !"

Aaron Craft scored nine points on 2-for-12 shooting against Armstead and a host of defenders for the Buckeyes, who dug a hole too deep to escape with their second-half rally.

“The way we shot coming into the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, everything was falling,” Thomas said.

“Today, it just wasn’t our night. Nothing was falling.

We had great looks, some of them, but they just weren’t falling.”

Yet after two weeks of upsets in the wild West bracket, underdog Wichita State seemed an appropriate pick to cut down Staples Center’s nets. The Shockers’ well-balanced roster managed built that enormous lead with the same consummate team play that they’ve shown throughout the tournament.

The Shockers are also the kings of Kansas, reaching the national semifinals after the powerful Jayhawks and Kansas State both went down.

Two sections packed with cheering Shockers fans provided all the encouragement necessary for a team that didn’t win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament and was thought to be a bubble team for an NCAA berth. Now, Wichita State is the MVC’s first Final Four team since Larry Bird led Indiana State to the title game in 1979.

Another giant awaits the Shockers in Atlanta next weekend: They’ll face the winner of today’s Midwest Regional final between Duke and Louisville.

“We’re all new to this, but I think we’re ready for this,” Early said. “We’re going to prepare ourselves, and this game was pretty good preparation.

We started at the bottom, and we’ve been working our way up.”

Seven seasons after underdog George Mason crashed the Final Four and underlined college basketball’s growing parity, the Shockers are the latest smallish school to get on a big roll in the tournament. Butler made the national championship game in 2010 and 2011, and the Bulldogs were joined by that VCU team in the Final Four two years ago.

This year’s tournament included stunning wins

by Florida Gulf Coast, La Salle and Harvard, but nobody kept it going longer than Wichita State.

Although the Shockers have a beautiful home arena and robust support from fans and donors in Kansas’ largest city, Marshall acknowledged that Wichita State’s athletic budget is a fraction of what a BCS school can spend. He hasn’t let it slow the Shockers, who made the NCAA Tournament last year only to lose

to 12th-seeded VCU in the first round.

After the Shockers easily beat La Salle two days ago to reach their first regional final since 1981, Marshall’s pregame speech to the Shockers on Saturday finished with talk of cutting down the nets at Staples Center before getting on that plane back to Kansas, saying Wichita State didn’t have to play “a perfect game” to beat mighty Ohio State.

“The Mecca awaits in Atlanta,” he said.

Marshall was right, but he couldn’t have anticipated just how imperfect Ohio State would be.

The postseason-tested Buckeyes appeared calm and confident during warmups in front of their healthy fan contingent, yet they proceeded to play the first half just like NCAA newbies.

They missed their first seven shots after the opening tip in a string capped by an airballed three-pointer from Thomas, who missed his first five overall. The junior star was labeled “a bad-shot taker and a badshot maker” by Marshall on Friday, but he only lived up to the first part of that billing while going 4-for-13 in the first half.

Early hit two three-pointers in the opening minutes, and the Shockers stretched their lead to 13 points shortly before halftime.

“You’ve got to give them credit,” Craft said. “They really came out firing and we really didn’t regain our footing until it was too late.”

Hall went to the locker room after drawing a charge from Thomas early in the second half, holding the back of his head after Thomas’ elbow clipped him on the jaw. Hall found his glasses and got back in the game 66 seconds later.

Wichita State gradually stretched its lead early in the second half, with Early’s layup putting the Shockers up 53-33 with 12:09 to play.

Ross desperately tried to rally the Buckeyes, scoring eight consecutive points and leading a 23-6 run midway through the second half. Ohio State went into a full-court inbounds defense, and Shannon Scott’s free throws with 2:49 left cut the lead to 62-59 — but Ohio State couldn’t get any closer.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Michigan returns to the top ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Trey Burke was a 16-month-old toddler the last time Michigan was playing this late in the NCAA Tournament.

That regional final 19 years ago, a loss that ended the Fab Five era, was played in a building that no longer exists. Where Reunion Arena once stood near downtown Dallas is now a vacant lot about 20 minutes from where the Wolverines finally get another chance to get back to the Final Four.

“It’s definitely crazy,” Burke said Saturday. “Just to get this program moving back in the right direction means a lot to us.”

No. 4 seed Michigan (29-7) plays SEC regularseason champion and No. 3 seed Florida (29-7) for the South Regional title on the raised court at ultramodern Cowboys Stadium today.

The Wolverines advanced largely because of Burke, the sophomore and Big Ten player of the year who scored 23 points — all after halftime — as they overcame a 14-point deficit against top seed Kansas. They forced overtime when Burke hit a long tying 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left in regulation and won 87-85 in overtime.

“Yeah, I was surprised at how far I was,” Burke admitted after seeing multiple replays of the shot that may just become known as the Fab 3.

Burke also had 10 assists, making him the first player to have 20 points and 10 assists in the NCAA round of 16 since 1987. The last to do it? A Providence player

IN THIS FILE PHOTO FROM NOVEMBER 1991, MICHIGAN’S FAB FIVE, from left, Jimmy King, Juwan Howard, Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and Ray Jackson mug for the camera. The Wolverines will try to repeat the Fab Five’s success and make it back to the Final Four today.

While Florida is loaded with seniors and NCAA Tournament experience, the Wolverines have three freshmen in their starting lineup. Junior guard Tim Hardaway Jr., one of three sons of former NBA players on Michigan’s roster, is the only starter older than Burke.

Even with that youth, the Wolverines’ goal at the start of the season was to compete for the national championship.

“A lot of people doubted us, a lot of people thought we were too young, not tough enough. And I think we’ve proved people wrong over the last couple of weeks,” Burke said.

“I think we understood we have what it takes to be a young team that can go far in this tournament. ... Being young isn’t an excuse.”

Michigan hasn’t been to the Final Four since consecutive national championship game appearances in 1992 and 1993 by the Fab Five — Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King — as freshmen and sophomores.

Webber was gone before that 1994 regional final loss to Arkansas in Dallas, and Rose and Howard followed him to the NBA after that.

This is the most successful Michigan season since then, though there is no sense of satisfaction yet.

“You’re not the team until you’re the team. And the only way you can be the team is that you win that championship,” said sixth-year Michigan coach John Beilein.

I should have way players passed and said, ‘Whatever you do, bat

down the ball. I don’t care what the contact is, go for the basketball.’

“You saw my guys freeze a little bit.”

As anyone who’s ever watched the NCAA tournament in the last 21 years knows, Hill threw a strike from the far baseline and found Laettner at the foul line with his back to the basket. Laettner faked right, spun to his left and his 15-footer hit nothing but net as the buzzer sounded.

It was agonizing for the first 24 hours, Pitino said. But when he popped a tape of the game in the next day, he saw it in a different light.

“I just sat back and said, ‘Darn, that was some hell of a basketball game,’” he said. “I got the guys together and I said, ‘Man, that was a great game.’ Really was a great game, especially playing without Mash.”

Duke would go on to win its second straight title, beating Michigan in the final. Kentucky would complete its revival four years later when the Wildcats beat Syracuse for their sixth NCAA title and first since 1978.

But it is that game that everyone remembers, and the years have done nothing to diminish it.

Clips of the play are on repeat throughout the tournament each year.

And as the NCAA celebrates 75 years of March Madness this year, the Laettner play has been among the highlights.

“I do think about it often,” Pitino said. “Not from a revenge standpoint, but as a great game that I was happy to be part of.”

“This is an emotional time. I feel bad for the seniors and thank them for how much they’ve helped me,” McLemore said. “Last year sitting out (as redshirt) and seeing what they accomplished (in reaching NCAA title game), how far they got, was a great example (for me).

“I enjoyed playing with these guys. We are a family. It was a great team,” McLemore added. “I know it’s tough for the seniors.

It’s their last year, but we’ve all been working so hard since July. It’s tough to have it end like this.”

Withey is considered a certain first-round NBA Draft pick, while Releford is being mentioned as a possible second-rounder.

Johnson and/or Young figure to play for pay in Europe if they do not get drafted in the second round or invited to an NBA team’s summer camp.

Withey — he averaged 13.7 points and 8.5 rebounds with 146 blocks in 37 games his senior year — was philosophical after the Jayhawks failed to close out Michigan. KU led by 14 points with 6:50 left and eight at 1:22.

“Sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you want,” Withey said.

He has high hopes for the 2013-14 Jayhawks, who figure to return just three rotation players in Ellis, point guard Naadir Tharpe and forward Jamari Traylor.

“Naadir is a great player. He will be a great point guard next year. He will have a great career,” Withey said of the 5-11 sophomore from Worcester, Mass., who averaged 5.5 points a game, hitting 35 of 106 threes for 33 percent.

A pair of freshmen may back up Tharpe at the point. KU coach Bill Self has signed Frank Mason, 5-11 out Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va., who is ranked No. 134 nationally by Rivals.com.

High-scoring Conner Frankamp, 6-foot out of Wichita North, who is ranked No. 31, is known as a fierce competitor and gym rat who also figures to be in the mix right away.

Seldom-used freshman guard Rio Adams, who has expressed unhappiness on Twitter and Facebook this season, has said he’ll be back for a sophomore season, but that remains to be seen. His latest Twitter post Saturday read: “Wonder what god has in store for me from this point on and where I’m going to end up next. the ride was epic....”

Players who transfer out of KU’s program usually announce their intentions after season-ending

basketball late in life, and it sometimes shows. He has a knack for blocking shots, brings terrific energy and can become a scoring threat if he can develop a jumper out to 15 feet, a goal he works tirelessly to achieve.

recent two KU teams with five new starters did, the Jayhawks must match those classes in terms of instant major contributions from talented freshmen. McDonald’s AllAmerican Wayne Selden, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound shooting guard, highlights the five-deep incoming class. Small forward Brannen Greene, combination guard Conner Frankamp and center Joel Embiid also are ranked in the top 40 of the 2013 class by Ri-

Andrew Wiggins, the nation’s top-ranked recruit, could decide to become the first McDonald’s All-American in this class to sign with Florida State, the second to commit to Kansas or the seventh to join Kentucky.

If Wiggins signs with KU, here’s an early guess at a starting lineup: Tharpe, Wiggins, Selden, Ellis

Coach K, Pitino meet again in tourney INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Krzyzewski and Rick Pitino are finally doing an encore.

For the first time since their teams played perhaps the greatest game in the history of the NCAA Tournament, Krzyzewski and Pitino will meet in the NCAA Tournament today when top-seeded Louisville faces Duke. In the regional finals, no less.

Never mind that few of their current players were even born in 1992. Or that Pitino is no longer at Kentucky, having switched sides in the state’s civil war after his brief trip to Boston and the NBA ended badly.

Krzyzewski and Pitino are forever linked by that one game in Philadelphia, immortalized by Christian Laettner’s improbable shot.

“It’s one of those moments in time that helped define our sport,” Krzyzewski said Saturday. “When I’ve talked to Rick about it, we realize we were the lucky guys. We had different roles at that time, but we were both lucky to be there.”

Said Pitino, “It was like being in Carnegie Hall and seeing the best musician or the best singer. Just sitting there in amazement of what they were doing out on the basketball court.”

Krzyzewski and Pitino are two of the finest coaches of their generation, with five NCAA titles and 1,618 victories between them. Yet for all of their success, and for as good a friends as they are, Krzyzewski and Pitino rarely play each other.

— Kansas senior Jeff Withey, on sophomore Naadir Tharpe meetings with Self, which are normally held the week after the Final Four.

Traylor, 6-8, 220 freshman from Chicago, averaged 2.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 9.8 minutes a game with 28 blocks and 17 steals. Self has signed frontcourt player Joel Embiid, 7-foot out of Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., ranked No. 37 nationally.

Also, Self has high hopes for Landen Lucas, 6-10, 240 out of Portland, who red-shirted as a freshman this past campaign. Forward Justin Wesley, a senior-to-be, knows the system well and could vie for rotation time depending on the progress of Lucas and the newcomers.

Some outside shooting could come from Andrew White, a 6-6 freshman out of Chester, Va., who hit 10 of 36 threes in his debut season, as well as newcomers Brannen Greene, 6-7 out of Tift County High in Tifton, Ga., ranked No. 25 nationally, and No. 26 Wayne Selden, 6-5 out of Tilton (N.H.) School, who like Ellis is a McDonald’s All-American.

KU’s four walk-ons — Christian Garrett, Evan Manning, Niko Roberts and Tyler Self — also are eligible to return. One might keep an eye on Manning for potential playing time down the road.

KU is still in the running for No. 1-ranked Andrew Wiggins, a 6-7 forward from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep who is considering KU, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State.

“I think they can be better than we were this year, definitely,” senior point guard Johnson said.

Self is not ready to close the chapter on this season. He applauds the seniors for their wildly successful careers. Fifthyear senior Releford won 158 games against 27 losses, while Johnson and Withey went 131-19 and Young 63-13.

“What a year ... what a team,” Self exclaimed.

“This stings now. We’ll reflect on it soon, get our legs under us and be real happy with the year.”

O

Positive Twitter talk: Not all Twitter posts from Jayhawks are negative.

Lucas stood up for his teammate, Johnson, who had several key blunders that helped Michigan in its comeback victory over KU. Lucas tweeted Friday: “Before I go 2 sleep I just want yall to remember the guy who everyone has things to say bout is the same guy who won us the league @ ISU #EJ” He also tweeted: “Next season starts today.” and Traylor, with Embiid, Greene, Frankamp and Mason competing hard to supplant one of the starters.

Without Wiggins, the best guess is: Tharpe, Selden, Greene, Ellis and Traylor. This much isn’t a guess: Whatever the starting lineup and bench, both will perform far better in January than in November. A 10th consecutive Big 12 title is a possibility, despite the lack of experience.

NOTRE DAME GUARD SKYLAR DIGGINS TAKES A SHOT during practice Saturday for today’s Sweet 16 meeting with Kansas University in Norfolk, Va.

their college careers won’t end this afternoon.

Goodrich, who is 5-foot4, is more of a ball distributor, averaging seven assists per game. But she also scores well enough to average 14.4 points.

“She’s a great point guard, and I have seen what she is able to do these past four years in her career at Kansas,” Diggins said. “Her abilities to get the ball to her teammates, push in transition, attack the basket and finish (makes Goodrich) dangerous.”

Diggins, at 5-9, is more of a scorer. An All-American and Big East player of the year, she averages 16.8 points and 5.9 assists per game and is only 26 points from the alltime Notre Dame scoring record, 2,322. That mark is held by Beth (Morgan) Cunningham, now the Irish’s associate coach.

For all of the accolades she heaped on Goodrich, Diggins played down the personal challenge of guarding her.

“I’m concentrating on doing my job,” she said.

“If I’m doing my job, she can’t do hers. (And) others have to know where she is, also.”

Goodrich was more sanguine about her task today.

“It’s going to be a great challenge,” Goodrich said of dealing with Diggins.

“She’s done a lot for Notre Dame, and I’m looking forward to that challenge.”

That challenge is “being able to contain one another,” Goodrich added. “She knows how to get certain players the ball, and she likes to run the ball just

Stopping the ball has assumed an important role in the Jayhawks’ success through the first two rounds of the tournament,

victories over Colorado and South Carolina.

“We’re still playing because we guarded,” Henrickson said. “In February, we stopped guarding, and we stopped winning.

Between the tournament

selection show and the tournament, we got better defensively. We kind of re-committed to some defensive concepts that we’d gotten soft with.”

Those concepts will be crucial today against Notre Dame (33-1), winner of its last 28 games.

So, too, will the impact of the match-up between Goodrich and Diggins.

“They have the ball a majority of the game, so when they are under pressure, it slows everything down,” Kansas forward Carolyn Davis said. “Whoever handles the ball better is going to help their team the most.”

Kentucky slips past Delaware BRIDGEPORT, CONN. (AP) — Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell has his team one victory away from the school’s first Final Four. The Wildcats had to overcome an incredible effort by Elena Delle Donne to get there.

Jennifer O’Neill scored 19 points, and A’dia Mathies added 16 to help Kentucky hold off the Blue Hens, 69-62, on Saturday in the Bridgeport regional semifinals, bringing to an end the stellar career of Delle Donne.

It’s the second straight season that Kentucky (30-5) has advanced to the regional final and will play Connecticut. The top-seeded Huskies beat Maryland 76-50 on Saturday in the second game.

UConn beat Kentucky by 15 points last year.

SPOKANE, WASH. (AP) — Andy Landers looked down at the stat sheet on the table in front of him.

The numbers were almost exactly what the longtime Georgia coach anticipated.

Yes, even the final score: Georgia 61, Stanford 59.

Jasmine Hassell scored six of her 13 points in the final 3 minutes and fourthseeded Georgia beat topseeded Stanford 61-59 on Saturday night to reach the NCAA women’s regional finals for the first time since 2004.

Georgia overcame three major scoring droughts, including falling behind 9-0, to oust the No. 1 seed from the Spokane Regional and

the Huskies. Stewart also had eight rebounds and four blocked shots.

Jefferson made several key defensive stops and her two fast-break layups capped a 9-0 run to start the second half, giving UConn a 44-26 lead and control of the game.

“We got in a nice offensive flow,” she said. “Once the transition game came, then the offensive flow was right there.”

Her layup midway through the half stretched the lead to 60-38. She finished with 10 points and Tuck had eight as the Huskies bench outscored Maryland’s 25-0.

“They didn’t play like

freshmen at all,” center Stefanie Dolson said.

“They came out confident and ready to play. They knew what they needed to do for our team and what they can do.”

Two-time ACC player of the year Alyssa Thomas, who had scored 29 and 28 points in the team’s first two tournament games, was held to 13 for Maryland, which finished its season at 26-8. Tianna Hawkins and Chloe Pavlech each had 11 points for the Terps.

Maryland trailed 35-26 at the half and went scoreless for the first three minutes after intermission allowing UConn to blow the game open.

Finals preview? Heat visit Spurs tonight

By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Writer

By the time the Miami Heat get on their plane to come home late tonight, they could have a stranglehold on the race to finish with the NBA’s best record.

All they have to do is win at San Antonio. That, of course, is no easy task.

The Heat (57-15) take a two-game lead in the NBA standings over the Spurs (55-17) into their matchup today. A win would essentially provide Miami a four-game cushion with nine remaining, given that the Heat also would control any potential head-tohead tiebreaker with San Antonio.

If the Heat lose, the race for home-court advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs could turn into a frantic, down-tothe-wire deal.

“It’s always good to play

the best, to play against the best,” LeBron James said. “It’ll be an opportunity for us. We just want to get better, man. The game Sunday doesn’t define our season or how we go from there. We just want to continue to move forward and get better throughout the rest of the season.”

Miami has won 28 of its last 29 games overall, getting back on the winning track at New Orleans on Friday, two days after Chicago snapped a 27-game Heat winning streak. But San Antonio has won 28 of its last 30 games at home, and facing the Spurs on the road is traditionally a painful expedition for many members of the Heat — as it tends to be for everyone else in the NBA. Dwyane Wade is 1-4 at San Antonio, sitting out three other Heat losses there during his career.

Chris Bosh is 1-7. James

“

Ginobili played just un- Miami. They’re the best in

We just want to get better, man. The game der three minutes in Fri- the league. They went on Sunday doesn’t define our season or how we go day night’s win over the the unbelievable run and Los Angeles Clippers be- it’s going to be another from there.”

— Miami’s LeBron James is 3-7. Shane Battier — a longtime player in the Western Conference — has enjoyed eight wins from the visitors’ side when facing the Spurs, and also been on the losing end 16 times there.

“It’s obviously a very, very, very good team,” Wade said. “Very tough place to play, so I think our mentality and how we approach the game is going to be important. You just try to go out there and compete, as we do every night, try to get a great road win. It’s not going to be easy but that’s kind of what we enjoy.”

The only other meeting between the clubs this

season was Nov. 29 in Miami, a strange game in that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich — citing a desire to rest his best players at the end of a long road trip — sent Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Danny Green home before the game.

With guys like Patty Mills, Nando De Colo and Matt Bonner filling out the starting lineup — they’ve combined to make four other starts this season — the Spurs almost beat the Heat anyway, leading by five with 2:13 left before getting outscored 12-2 in a wild Miami finish that gave the Heat a 105-100 win.

cause of a strained right hamstring, and Popovich glumly said afterward he didn’t expect him to be ready to face the Heat.

And on Saturday the Spurs made it official: Ginobili is out for the game, with no return date set.

The Spurs have won six of their last seven games.

Of those six wins, only one came by double figures, an 11-point victory over Golden State. The average margin of the other five wins in that span, over Dallas, Cleveland, Utah, Denver and Clippers was 3.4 points, and the only loss was a one-pointer at Houston.

“It’s great challenges, good preparation for us for the playoffs,” Parker said. “Denver is a great team, Clippers a great team and now we’ve got

great game.”

This game could have been one of the mostwatched among regularseason games in years if Miami had not lost in Chicago on Wednesday.

Had the Heat won there and won in New Orleans, as they did on Friday, they would have been going for their 30th straight win on this trip to San Antonio in what will be touted either way as a potential NBA Finals preview.

“I just want you to know the Heat are going to be just fine,” said President Barack Obama, a noted Bulls fan during a stop in Miami on Friday. “They’re going to be OK. They are playing basketball the right way.”

The Heat streak is gone, but standings-wise, it’s still a big deal.

Riley blasts Celtics’ Ainge for comments on LeBron

By Ira Winderman Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel

NEW ORLEANS — Those violent blows absorbed Wednesday by LeBron James were nothing compared to the haymaker Heat President Pat Riley threw later at Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge.

In the wake of James complaining about dangerous fouls committed by the Bulls in Wednesday’s Heat loss in Chicago, Ainge during a Thursday Boston radio interview on WEEI said, “I think that it’s almost embarrassing that LeBron would complain about officiating.”

That had Riley, through Heat spokesman Tim Donovan, responding Friday, “Danny Ainge needs to shut up and manage his own team.”

Riley continued, also as related through the Heat spokesman, with, “He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him.”

Told by the Sun Sentinel of Riley’s response, James said, “Oh, man, that’s awesome.”

It was a harsh rebuke even by Riley’s standards, one that drew a response from Ainge minutes later Friday, with the Celtics executive hardly backing down.

“We’re both right,” he told the Boston Globe.

“LeBron should stop complaining, and I should manage my own team.”

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra sidestepped the dramatics.

“I love direct GM to GM communication,” he said.

“That’s awesome.”

Celtics coach Doc Rivers offered his own pregame quip, before the Celtics hosted the Hawks.

“I think it’s cool,” he told reporters. “I think they should duke it out.”

Asked whether Riley vs.

Ainge would add an element to Heat-Celtics, Rivers said, “Not unless they are playing.”

said he was “surprised” by Riley’s choice of words, but added, “We always know he has our back.”

Of his former team and his current team going at it, Heat guard Ray Allen said, “That’s been Danny and Pat. They obviously have a lot of history.

“We’ve got to deal with what we’ve got to deal with, and they’ve got to deal with what they’ve got to deal with.”

Earlier, Spoelstra said his team won’t back down in the face of physical play.

No sooner did James question the lack of flagrant-foul calls on hard hits he took from Kirk Hinrich and Taj Gibson

in Wednesday’s loss, a loss that snapped the Heat’s 27-game winning streak, the pushback around the league was to question the Heat’s ability to handle such physicality.

Looking ahead to Friday night’s game at New Orleans Arena, New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams noted, “Obviously, everybody is going to think the blueprint is to go out there and knock them out the way that Chicago did, but that’s easier said than done.”

As for Gibson, he told ESPN Radio of James’ complaints, “I think he’s too good of a player to do

that. You just play, two teams really going out there and play hard, going to the basket extremely hard and physical.”

By Friday morning, James had moved on, even if Riley had not.

“I stated what I felt and I left it at that,” he said.

“I haven’t even gone on about it at all. I know everything that I say is going to be either blown out of proportion or taken the wrong way. But I had to say what I had to say and I move on.”

Of Ainge’s comment, James said at the morning shootaround, “Not surprised to hear anything from Boston. No, not surprised at all.”

After interminable spring, it’s finally time to play baseball for real

By Larry Stone The Seattle Times

The long exhibition nightmare is almost over, as this endless spring finally segues into such traditional Opening Day matchups as the Astros against the Rangers, and the Reds against the Angels.

It only seems like spring training started during the Nixon administration (that’s Russ Nixon, Atlanta Braves manager from 1988-90). The advent of the World Baseball Classic tacked on an extra week, just long enough for the “dead-brain” phase of preparation to kick in.

For most big-league teams, the season can’t start fast enough.

OK, the Marlins probably aren’t eager to embrace the antipathy that awaits them after the Great Winter Purge of 2012-13.

And the Astros, come to think of it, aren’t wild about starting the sprint to 100 losses.

And the Yankees will be excused for experiencing trepidation about what will be their most humbling season in nearly two decades.

But everyone else is gung-ho. The ambulatory, at least.

It might not be the best sign for baseball that the biggest story line heading into the season is health — or more accurately, lack of same. The longer spring has given players more time to get hurt, and they’ve obliged. The Opening Day disabled lists will be bulging with some of the biggest names in the sport, from Alex

BATS AND GLOVES SIT ON THE TARP WITH THE NEW HOUSTON ASTROS LOGO during batting practice before an exhibition baseball game between the Cubs and Astros on Friday in Houston. The new-to-the-AL Astros will open the baseball season today by hosting the Texas Rangers.

Rodriguez to Mark Teixeira to Curtis Granderson to Derek Jeter. And that’s just the Yankees.

The entire National League will be lamenting the departure of their ATM (Automatic Triumph Machine) known as the Astros. They’re headed from the NL Central to the AL West.

One of the enduring story lines in baseball is the Pirates’ eternal quest for their first .500 season since 1992. Last year, they stood 16 games over .500 (63-47) on Aug. 8 — only to go 16-36 the rest of the way to finish four games under. Ah, but that was before they picked up Jonathan Sanchez, so all bets are off.

Here are a few more things to watch for in what I predict will be a fabulous, unpredictable, exhilarating, heartbreaking, heart-stopping 2013 season: Five All-Star players who will start the season on the disabled list: Chase Headley, Padres; David Ortiz, Red Sox; Corey Hart, Brewers; Johan Santana, Mets (out for season); Brian McCann, Braves.

Three more All-Stars who got hurt in the WBC and will be sidelined to start the season: David Wright, Mets; Mark Teixeira, Yankees; Hanley Ramirez, Dodgers.

Ten top players who have switched teams:

Josh Hamilton, Angels; Zack Greinke, Dodgers; Jose Reyes, Blue Jays; R.A. Dickey, Blue Jays; Josh Johnson, Blue Jays; B.J. Upton, Braves; Justin Upton, Braves; Michael Bourn, Indians; Nick Swisher, Indians; Mike Napoli, Red Sox. Five players who have retired: Chipper Jones, Omar Vizquel, Hideki Matsui, Kevin Millwood, Brian Fuentes.

Five players who might never play again, whether they know it or not: Johnny Damon, Chris Carpenter, Scott Rolen, Adam Kennedy, Bobby Abreu.

One player who might have reached the end of line, but don’t put it in ink: Jamie Moyer, age 50.

Five players who were active the last season in which Moyer didn’t play professional baseball: Tom Seaver, Rod Carew, Mike Schmidt, Ron Guidry, George Brett.

Five top-grossing movies the last year in which the Pirates had a winning season: Aladdin; Home Alone 2: Lost in New York; Batman Returns; Lethal Weapon 3; A Few Good Men. Five breakout candidates: Anthony Rizzo, Cubs; Pedro Alvarez, Pirates; Salvy Perez, Royals; Manny Machado, Orioles; Andrelton Simmons, Braves.

Three already great players who will be even better: Stephen Strasburg,

Nationals; Bryce Harper, Nationals; Andrew McCutchen, Pirates.

One already-great player who might never get a pitch to hit: Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins.

The next Mike Trout: Mike Trout, because no one else has his skill set, youth and charisma.

MVP, spring training: Dodgers 22-year-old outfielder Yasiel Puig, who hit .526 and slugged .842 in 57 at-bats — and was optioned to Class AA. MVP, spring training, bespectacled division: A’s infielder Eric Sogard, .500 batting average (23 for 46) Five potential impact players who are starting in the minors: OF Wil Myers, Rays; RHP Dylan Bundy, Orioles; SS Jurickson Profar, Rangers; RHP Gerrit Cole, Pirates; C Mike Zunino, Mariners.

Five teams with a payroll more than $100 million less than the Yankees who will finish with a better record: Rays, Braves, Pirates, Orioles, Mariners.

Five prominent players still unsigned: Jose Valverde, Francisco Rodriguez, Roy Oswalt, Jim Thome, Grady Sizemore.

Five hardest names to spell: Jeff Samardzija, Cubs pitcher; Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Red Sox catcher; Alex Andreopoulos, Blue Jays bullpen catcher; Alex Anthopoulos, Blue Jays general manager; Zack Greinke, Dodgers pitcher (Rule of thumb: “i before e, except in Cy Young-winning pitchers making more than $100 million.”)

The last team that will be spilling champagne in October: Cincinnati Reds.

THIS UNDATED PHOTO PROVIDED BY FORREST FENN shows a chest purported to contain gold dust, hundreds of rare gold coins, gold nuggets and other artifacts. For more than a decade, the 82-year-old claims he has packed and repacked the treasure chest, before burying it in the mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe.

‘I love mysteries,’ says man claiming hidden gold

By Jeri Clausing Associated Press

SANTA FE, N.M. — For more than a decade, he packed and repacked his treasure chest, sprinkling in gold dust and adding hundreds of rare gold coins and gold nuggets.

Pre-Columbian animal figures went in, along with prehistoric “mirrors” of hammered gold, ancient Chinese faces carved from jade and antique jewelry with rubies and emeralds.

Forrest Fenn was creating a bounty, and the art and antiquities dealer says his goal was to make sure it was “valuable enough to entice searchers and desirable enough visibly to strike awe.”

Occasionally, he would test that premise, pulling out the chest and asking his friends to open the lid.

“Mostly, when they took the first look,” he says, “they started laughing,” hardly able to grasp his amazing plan.

Was Fenn really going to give this glistening treasure trove away?

Three years ago, he lay two of his most beloved pieces of jewelry in the chest: a turquoise bracelet and a Tairona and Sinu Indian necklace adorned with exotic jewels. At the bottom of the chest, in an olive jar, he placed a detailed autobiography, printed so small a reader will need a magnifying glass. After that, he says, he carted the chest of loot, now weighing more than 40 pounds, into the mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe and left it there.

Next, Fenn self-published a memoir, “The Thrill of the Chase,” distilling the autobiography and, intriguingly, including a poem that he says offers clues to lead some clever — or lucky — treasure hunter to the bounty.

It wasn’t long before word of the hidden trove got out, and the publicity has caused a mini-gold rush in northern New Mexico.

But it has also set off a debate: Has Fenn truly hidden the treasure chest or was this, for the idiosyncratic, publicity-loving 82-year-old who loves to tell tales, just another way to have fun, a great caper to bolster his legacy?

One friend, Michael McGarrity, an author and former Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputy, acknowledges it could be “a private joke,” though he believes “Forrest has certainly buried something.” If it was the treasure he saw, well, “it really is quite an astonishing sight to see.”

There certainly seems to be no shortage of believers, including Doug Preston, whose novel “The Codex,” about a notorious

treasure hunter and tomb robber who buries himself and his treasure as a final chal- Fenn lenge to his three sons, is loosely based on Fenn’s story.

“I’ve seen the treasure.

I’ve handled it. He has had it for almost as long as I’ve known him. It’s real. And I can tell you that it is no longer in his vault,” says Preston.

“I am 100 percent sure that he really did go out and hide this thing. I am actually surprised that anyone who knows him would think he was blowing hot air. It is just not his personality. He is not a tricky, conspiratorial, slick or dishonest person at all.”

Fenn says his main goal is to get people, particularly children, away from their texting devices and looking for adventure outdoors.

But probably few are having more fun with the whole adventure than Fenn himself, a self-described schmoozer and endless flirt who is reveling in what he says are 13,000 emails from treasure hunters — not to mention 18 marriage proposals.

“His net worth is much higher than what he put in the bounty,” says Preston, guessing the treasure’s value is in the milliondollar range. “He is having way more than $1 million worth of fun with this.”

It all began, Fenn says, more than 20 years ago, when he was diagnosed with cancer and given just a few years to live.

That’s when he decided to buy the treasure chest and fill it with some of his favorite things.

“Nobody knows where it was going to be but me,” he recalls thinking. He revised the clue-poem’s wording several times over the years, and made other changes in his plans.

For a time, he thought of having his bones with the treasure chest, though how that might have been accomplished is unclear.

“But then,” Fenn says with a mischievous twinkle in his blue eyes, “I ruined the story by getting well.”

In “The Thrill of the Chase,” he lays out his unusual rags-to-riches story while sharing memories of his favorite adventures and mischief-making.

From the outset, the book tells readers the recollections “are as true to history as one man can average out that truth, considering the fact that one

of my natural instincts is to embellish.”

Average out the truth?

Instinct to embellish?

Well, one thing is certain: He certainly knows how to tell a tale.

Fenn was raised in Temple, Texas, where his father was a school principal, according to the book.

The family was poor, he says, only eating meat on Sundays if there was a chicken to kill. But, Fenn writes, they spent every summer in Yellowstone National Park, where young Forrest and his brother Skippy launched many an adventure. He describes the brothers trying to fly a homemade plane and tells about being left on the side of the road after an argument during a road trip.

Fenn never went to college, although he did attend classes at Texas A&M University with his friends for a short time before it was discovered he was not a registered student, the book says.

He married his high school sweetheart, Peggy Jean Proctor, and spent nearly two decades in the Air Force, including much-decorated service as a fighter pilot in Vietnam.

After returning to Texas, he, his wife and two daughters moved to Santa Fe, where, over time, he became one of this artistic enclave’s best known and most successful gallery owners.

Details on how a man with no art background made such a dramatic but successful transition are scarce in his book. When asked to elaborate, he says simply, “I never went to college. I never went to business school. I never learned the rules that make businesses fail.”

Those who know him credit his love of people.

As an art dealer, he hosted a virtual who’s who of the rich and famous at his gallery and guest house, including Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Sam Shephard, Jessica Lange and Michael Douglas, to name a few.

Even at 82, he still throws one heck of a party, friends say, mixing up the guest list with the many actors, artists, writers and political leaders who live in or frequent this artistic mountain hideaway.

Perhaps the biggest misconception about Fenn — whom some locals refer to as Santa Fe’s Indiana Jones — is that he was a treasure hunter himself.

“Forrest is a trader,” said Dan Nietzel, a professional treasure hunter who has searched for Fenn’s treasure. “He traded for these things. I think people think he went around digging all these things up.”

April 1 is a holiday?

Lighten up with comedy Celebrate the start of the month and perhaps your own foolishness — or at least, let’s say, sense of humor — with an April Fools’ Day comedy “showdown” at 7 p.m. Monday at the Jackpot, 943 Massachusetts St. Three teams of local performers will compete for a $200 donation (plus personal glory, of course) in three rounds of Lawrencethemed skits. Randomly chosen audience members will get the fool’s fate of being the judges.

It’s sponsored by the Lawrence Public Library and Lawrence Magazine and is free for the 18-andover crowd.

2 TUESDAY

Tuesday with Tuskegee: African-Americans in World War II As part of a series culminating in a talk by Kansas University professor and filmmaker Kevin Willmott next week, the Dole Institute and Kansas Union are showing “Red Tails,” last year’s film about the heroic World War II airmen initially

kept off the front lines because of their race, but who eventually saw combat.

The movie isn’t supposed to be so great, but Willmott’s talk will focus more on the historical aspects than film criticism, so if you plan to attend it’d be good to brush up on the film. See the movie for free at 2:30 p.m. at the Dole Institute’s Simons Media Room or 7 p.m. at the Kansas Union’s Centennial Room on

KU’s campus.

Liberty Hall grows â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; just say no to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;G.I. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

T

he new sequel to a completely forgettable 2009 franchise launch, â&#x20AC;&#x153;G.I. Joe: Retaliationâ&#x20AC;? had a troubled road to becoming the perfectly bland and fairly offensive formula action flick that premieres in multiplexes today.

The first bad omen for â&#x20AC;&#x153;G.I. Joe: Retaliationâ&#x20AC;? was during filming in 2011, when a crew member died in an accident while changing out a set. Then, after a big, expensive 2012 Super Bowl commercial and being slated for release in June of last year, the movie was delayed until 2013, supposedly for a 3-D conversion.

Behind the scenes, there were numerous reshoots because, in part, despite casting Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis (in a very minor role) to beef up its star power, director Jon M. Chu needed more scenes with co-star Channing Tatum, who is hotter than Hansel right now.

(Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still barely in it.)

The result is about as discombobulated as you might expect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious Chu has an affinity for the Hasbro toy line and cartoons, because he tries to cram as many â&#x20AC;&#x153;charactersâ&#x20AC;? into the movie as possible. Members of the elite G.I. Joe force and evil Cobra terrorist organization traverse the globe playing cat and mouse with each other, but it increasingly feels like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just spinning

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com their wheels in action scenes with very little actually at stake. Most of the fighting is pretty generic, with the excep-

tion of one high-flying set piece with ninjas on wires that takes place on the side of a cliff.

By the time Willis shows up as the grandfather of all G.I. Joes (and very possibly the progenitor of most modern dumb action flicks), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particularly desperate move â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially since all his one-liners land with a thud.

I was prepared for the expected amount of flagwaving nonsense in â&#x20AC;&#x153;G.I. Joe: Retaliation,â&#x20AC;? but one sequence with a Cobra member posing as the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce) is so offensive, it seems like it was an outtake from

Trey Parker and Matt Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team America: World Police.â&#x20AC;? There are a lot of bad choices in this mishmash of gun-toting, faux patriotic sentiment, and very little in the way of engaging fun.

By the way, if you still feel compelled to check this movie out for some reason (the studio is banking on the nostalgia factor), donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother seeing it in 3-D. The upconvert wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth the wait.

Willmott tackles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Red Tailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Two free movie screenings of the George Lucasproduced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Tailsâ&#x20AC;? will take place at Kansas

University on Tuesday, April 2, in advance of KU film professor Kevin Willmottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming Dole Institute of Politics lecture â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tuskegee Airmen: Red Tails Examinedâ&#x20AC;? April 9. Free snacks are provided for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Tails,â&#x20AC;? showing at 2:30 p.m. at the Dole Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Simons Media Room, and at 7 p.m. at the Kansas Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial Room.

Willmottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk is sponsored by KU Filmworks, the Langston Hughes Center, and the Arnold Air Society, and will â&#x20AC;&#x153;critically examine the historical and racial significance of the Tuskegee Airmen.â&#x20AC;?

Rather than reviewing the film, which was almost universally panned by critics, Willmott will instead explore how the movie portrays its main characters, a group of African-American World War II pilots, and how it qualifies their role in the war effort.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and away The remarkable movies that make up the U.K.produced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upâ&#x20AC;? series have been following the same group of people since they were 7-yearold schoolchildren in 1964. Every seven years, the filmmakers have been checking in with their subjects and putting together a documentary of how their lives have turned out. The latest in the series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;56 Up,â&#x20AC;? opens at Liberty Hall this weekend.

Watching an entire life

unfold onscreen is breathtaking, and the interviews with these people can be very intimate and revealing, especially since they have grown up and become friends with director Michael Apted, who has manned all the films since â&#x20AC;&#x153;14 Up.â&#x20AC;? A popular Jesuit maxim from Roman Catholic missionary Francis Xavier says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;56 Upâ&#x20AC;? explores the truth in that idea like no other project in history.

LAWRENCE VIDEO GAME STUDIO FOURFIRE is raising money through a Kickstarter campaign for a sequel to its iOS game â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticky Bees.â&#x20AC;?

Local video game developers build buzz for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Meagan Thomas

mthomas@ljworld.com

Fourfire Studios, a local game studio, is in a sprint to raise money during the final days of its Kickstarter campaign for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticky Bees: Unleashed.â&#x20AC;?

Last spring, Fourfire released the original version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticky Beesâ&#x20AC;? on the iTunes app store.

The game, which is currently available for iOS on iPhones and iPads, is what Matt Cox, creative director for Fourfire, describes as a mixture Cox of air hockey and snake. The player moves a bee across the screen with his finger and honeybees follow along, creating a trail of bees. The player must ram into and destroy enemies like mosquitoes so that none of the bees following the player get hit. The more bees the player has, the more points the player receives on a kill.

Cox says the game did OK during its initial release and was reviewed well, but never really took off in popularity.

Last week, gaming magazine Game Informer featured â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticky Beesâ&#x20AC;? in an article for its April issue and sales have increased drastically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before, it had been downloaded about 4,500 times, and in the last two weeks weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already seen almost 3,000 downloads,â&#x20AC;?

Cox says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on pace to double what we did in one year in about a month.â&#x20AC;?

Fourfire has wanted to create a sequel to the buzz-worthy game, so to coincide with the attention the game is receiving, the studio created a Kickstarter campaign to see if there was enough interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have things like different weapons and enemies and just a lot more content,â&#x20AC;? Cox says.

Other ideas for the sequel include an in-game store and creating an endless level that speeds up as the player continues and tests how long a player can survive.

To create the sequel, Fourfire must raise about $29,000 to help pay for programming and artwork. As an incentive to get people to donate, the company is offering prizes ranging from a plush Sticky Bee to naming a character in the sequel. As of late last week, the campaign still had a ways to go to meet its goal.

Cox says another reason to support â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticky Bees: Unleashedâ&#x20AC;? is because Fourfire studios will in turn support the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to give significant portions of profit to charity â&#x20AC;Ś Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to keep the profits for ourselves; we want to help build the world around us,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The Kickstarter campaign ends April 4.

Check it out at http:// kck.st/1645OeT or go to kickstarter.com and do a search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;sticky bees.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Journeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sweeps game developer awards SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journeyâ&#x20AC;? arrived on top at the Game Developers Choice Awards.

The artsy video game developed by thatgamecompany swept the 13th annual ceremony Wednesday with six wins, including game of the year and the innovation award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journeyâ&#x20AC;? was also honored for best audio, game design, visual arts and as best downloadable game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think the success of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Journeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is because

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing on the shoulder of the giants,â&#x20AC;? said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journeyâ&#x20AC;? designer and thatgamecompany cofounder Jenova Chen.

The wordless but emotional downloadable PlayStation 3 game casts players as a mysterious scarfed figure that must trek across a desert, through temples and toward a towering mountain. Other players appear online in the game, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to communicate with words.

ncouraging a visitor to Kansas City to check out the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is something of a default â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there will always be interesting exhibits and masterful works of art on display, and the buildings (both old and new) are well worth walking through on their own.

Once in a while, however, there are exhibits that simply shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be missed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journey Through Mountains and Rivers,â&#x20AC;? a collection of Chinese landscape paintings from ancient and modern times, is one such example.

The dramatic introduction to this free exhibition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Law of the Dao Is Its Being What it Is,â&#x20AC;? the largest Chinese landscape ever created, which encircles visitors as they step into the museum lobby.

Surveying the sweeping panorama of cascading waterfalls, rocky cliffs and tree branches is like stepping into a misty Chinese forest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an amazing opportunity to see the greatest of the greatest in one place,â&#x20AC;? says former museum director Marc Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them again for a very long time.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson is referring not just to modern Chinese artist Xu Longsen, whose work is making its U.S. debut here, but also the Nelson-Atkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection of Song Dynasty paintings, which wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be displayed again for 10 years because of their fragility. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journeyâ&#x20AC;? runs through April 28, and museum hours can be found at nelson-atkins.org.

packing venues for the annual Middle of the Map festival, hosted by Ink Magazine and curated by local label The Record Machine.

The music starts Thursday evening and continues through Saturday at Record Bar, Riot Room, The Uptown Theater, Union, Gusto Lounge, Westport Coffeehouse and an all-ages outdoor stage in a nearby parking lot.

For national headliners, I recommend violinist/ songwriter Owen Pallett (7:30 p.m. Friday, Uptown Theater) and New York indie outfit Grizzly Bear (10 p.m. Friday, Uptown Theater).

Regional highlights include poppy quartet the ACBs (10:45 p.m. Friday at Gusto Lounge), sonic warriors Bloodbirds (8 p.m. Thursday at Record Bar) and folk/pop duo The Belles (Saturday,

12:15 a.m. at Union). Afrobeat ensemble Hearts of Darkness will turn the outdoor parking lot stage into a full-on dance party at 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

A full pass costs only $45, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. If anything, the festival is almost too much of a good thing, with lots of great acts overlapping each other. Three of the bands I want to see most â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Deerhoof, Iceage and Ghosty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all play at the same time. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a darn impressive lineup and a chance to see some of the most exciting up-andcoming acts in the region.

Family: Deanna Rose Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmstead While it may not contain the dramatic scenery of the aforementioned exhibit, the Deanna Rose Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmstead is one tucked-away place for families to explore nature.

The farmstead, at 13800 Switzer in Overland Park, contains a schoolhouse, a petting zoo, a prairie dog exhibit, nature trails, a fishing pond and activities such as pony and wagon rides. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to taking our 1-year-old daughter to see the miniature horses, as there are so few of them within city limits.

The farmstead is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day after April 1, when it opens for the season. Admission is free Monday through Thursday and costs $2 Friday through Sunday.

John Brown: Hero or terrorist? Kids of pop: 2 young actors â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Pulitzer Prize-winning author to discuss famous abolitionist

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

Many people debate the tactics of John Brown.

What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dispute is that the famous abolitionist changed the course of American history by, in effect, sparking the Civil War. Two men who have studied and written about Brown extensively will talk in front of a live audience at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, April 4, at Liberty Hall. The event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ReHorwitz constructing John Brown,â&#x20AC;? is part of the Lawrence Public Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year-long 1863 Commemorate Lawrence observance the 150th anniversary of Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raid.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and historian Tony Horwitz will be interviewed by Jonathan Earle, a professor of history at Kansas University, on the life and legacy of the antislavery fighter. Horwitz wrote the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid that Sparked the Civil Warâ&#x20AC;? about Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprise 1859 attack on a Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry, Va. (now West Virginia), armory to free and arm slaves. Kansans might remember Brown more for when, in response to the May 1856 sacking of Lawrence, he killed five slavery supporters in Pottawatomie and led abolitionist forces at the Battles of Black Jack and Osawatomie.

Horwitz grew up in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, about 60 miles from Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry.

A Civil War buff, he often wondered what started the conflict in the first place. That curiosity led

THE LAST MOMENTS OF JOHN BROWN are depicted in this 1885 drawing. The abolitionist, who had fought to make Kansas a free state, attempted to seize arms from the U.S. arsenal at Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry, Va., to lead an insurrection to end slavery. He failed and was hanged as a criminal. him to Brown.

Horwitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research eventually brought him to eastern Kansas, where Earle, who calls Horwitz â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the best popular history writers out there,â&#x20AC;? and Lawrence historian Karl Gridley took the author on a tour of the sites of Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous battles. Along the way, Horwitz learned just how much of an impact the state had on the fight to end slavery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Civil War essentially began in Kansas,â&#x20AC;?

Horwitz says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a surprise to many Americans outside your region.

They know the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bleeding Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how critical Kansas was.â&#x20AC;?

Said Gridley: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there would have been a Bleeding Kansas if there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a John

Brown. â&#x20AC;Ś He was very involved in the direction of Kansas and the direction Kansas would take in the Civil War and the civil rights movement.â&#x20AC;?

During the course of his research, Horwitz came across others things that surprised him about Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was by no means a lone gunman. He not only had many men fighting with him â&#x20AC;Ś but also tremendous support behind the lines from very prominent Northerners, including transcendentalists, wealthy businessmen, figures like Frederick Douglass,â&#x20AC;? the author remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another thing is that his life up to Kansas was in some ways quite conventional. He was a businessman, a family man, a devout Christian; his ancestors fought in the

Revolutionary War. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t from the fringes of American society.â&#x20AC;?

To this day, people argue over Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methods. He saw violence as the only way to overturn slavery, which was itself a violent act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very problematic figure,â&#x20AC;? Horwitz says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most of us today feel he was on the right side of history in believing slavery was the great sin of our nation and had to be purged. But his tactics made many people uncomfortable.â&#x20AC;?

Prior to Brown, Earle says, abolitionists had tried using moral suasion, or convincing slaveholders that they were sinning in the eyes of God. Brown is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a lightning rod for however you come down on the issue,â&#x20AC;? Gridley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people consider him a madman and a terrorist; a lot of people consider him a martyr or a freedom fighter.â&#x20AC;?

Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence can still be felt in modern-day America. Earle points to Vietnam War protesters, the Black Panthers and anti-abortion activists as groups who have looked to Brown for inspiration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Brown is right in the middle of our society,â&#x20AC;? Gridley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that mural in Topeka, with John Brown towering above both sides with a rifle and a Bible.â&#x20AC;?

Horwitz says the rights to turn his book into a cable-television series are currently being negotiated.

The April 7 program is free and open to the public.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Books about Brown by Horwitz and Earle will be available for sale at the event.

have a ball portraying Michael Jackson in musical

By Mark Kennedy Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If making your Broadway debut at age 12 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound scary enough, imagine doing it in an iconic role. Now triple it.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Raymond Luke Jr. and Jibreel Mawry are facing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking turns portraying a preteen Michael Jackson, a young Motown founder Berry Gordy and an adolescent Stevie Wonder in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motown: The Musical.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big step,â&#x20AC;? acknowledges a soft-spoken Jibreel backstage at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went from local performances around town to Broadway.â&#x20AC;?

The musical portrays Motownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 25 years through the eyes of Gordy and is punctuated with a stunning collection of vintage hits and energetic dance numbers.

Jibreel, from Detroit, and Raymond, from Los Angeles, beat hundreds of hopefuls in a national search and now find themselves sharing a tiny dressing room in New York, juggling schoolwork and keeping up with last-minute changes to the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think either one of them had ever seen a Broadway show prior to this,â&#x20AC;? says director Charles Randolph-Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So to all of a sudden be starring in this show where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a ticket, in a theater with 1,500 seats, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a different thing from being in your high-school auditorium or the mall.â&#x20AC;?

It was a pretty great version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop the Beatâ&#x20AC;? from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hairspray.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of fun in here,â&#x20AC;? says Raymond.

Of the three roles they play, Michael Jackson is the toughest, requiring the most singing and dancing, including several classic Jackson Five hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Want You Backâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Love You Save.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve studied footage of Jackson as well as his influences, including Jackie Wilson and James Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michael is someone who felt the music.

Author’s small-town upbringing provides fodder for debut novel

By Candace Chaney Lexington Herald-Leader

Sarah Robinson, fitness coach, Lawrence “‘Anna in the Tropics’ (by Nilo Cruz). It’s a play about how the story of Anna Karenina influences Cuban immigrants at a tobacco factory.”

Bill Patterson, teacher, Lawrence “‘The Stranger’ (by Albert Camus). It’s thought-provoking, somewhat annoying, but worth rereading.”

Colin Halliburton, works at a liquor store, Lawrence “‘Air Guitar: Essays on Art and Democracy’ (by Dave Hickey). It’s a collection of essays mostly on art criticism.”

LEXINGTON, KY. — More than 100 pages into her first attempt at a novel, Holly Goddard Jones realized it was a failure.

“I pretty unhappily decided to scrap it,” says Jones, 33, an assistant professor of English at University of North Carolina at Greensboro. “I had invested a lot of time into it, and I was really disappointed.”

But when one of her students submitted a story about a boy who went missing in the forest, Jones began recollecting about her own childhood in Russellville, Ky., particularly her fascination with the wooded areas between the town’s working-class subdivisions.

“I would go ride my bike and go into these little wooded areas, and I thought they seemed kind of wild and exciting,” Jones says. “I was kind of scared and I thought maybe something bad would happen like in a horror movie, like I would stumble upon a dead body.”

That is exactly what happens in the opening chapter of Jones’ debut novel, “The Next Time You See Me” (Touchstone, $24.99).

The novel has been well-received since its release last month. The New York Times called it “impressive” and said Jones “has a precise eye and empathy to burn, bringing each of her many characters to well-rounded life.” Gillian Flynn, author of the blockbuster bestseller “Gone Girl,” called it “an astoundingly good novel ... simply mesmerizing.”

Like Jones’ 2009 book of short stories, “Girl Trouble,” “The Next Time You

See Me” takes place in the fictional town of Roma, Ky., not so secretly modeled after places such as Russellville.

Set in 1993 — before the 24-hour news cycle and the Internet — “The Next Time You See Me” revolves around the mystery of a missing woman and explores the surprising ways different townspeople are connected to her.

The book shares some elements of the crimesolving mystery genre, but it also is a multinarrative literary portrait of the inner lives of ordinary folks — folks Jones grew up with, folks you might meet in a small-town grocery store or gas station.

But “ordinary” does not mean “uninteresting” or “one-dimensional.”

“I’m interested in ordinary people and I just take for granted that they lead interesting inner lives,” she says.

“I have always been very interested in writing about characters who do bad or unfortunate things and then try to see the humanity in them and to empathize with them. I’ve made that my project to such an extent that a lot of times people end up feeling really sympathetically for characters who do horrible things.”

Jones’ empathetic embrace of the darker side of her characters — along with her intimate familiarity with the real-life counterpart to the book’s setting — allows her to critique social injustices including racism, gender inequality and classism, undercurrents woven throughout the book.

The fact that the missing woman, Ronnie, is

legendary British warrior.

Halsall understands this. His unusually readable scholarly tome starts with why he wrote the book. A history teacher at the universities in London and York and a war gamer, he was reading “the latest populist Arthurian history” which other reviews said offered “a plausible, scholarly case. It didn’t, and this annoyed me.”

So he buckled down to find out what scientists and academics really “know” about the period.

Using archeology, forensics and extensive literary research, including the migration plans of the Anglo-Saxon and Pictish cemeteries, he thin-slices the legend of Arthur into steak tartar.

Nonfiction Special to the Journal-World

HOLLY GODDARD JONES’ DEBUT NOVEL, “The Next Time You See Me,” was recently released to glowing reviews. The book is part mystery, part literary portrait of ordinary people. known to be a drunk who “gets around” means the police are more keen to shrug off her disappearance than to conduct a massive search.

“Sully the victim a little, and the narrative changes,” Jones said in a March interview with the well-respected online reading magazine Bookslut. “There are insinuations about the woman’s share of the blame. With Ronnie, I was imagining what would happen if a discarded woman was so on the fringe of the community that she wasn’t even registered at first as lost. Only her sister really cares, and even that sister has resentments and grievances that complicate her search.”

Jones credits her working-class upbringing in a small town as a boon personally and professionally, though she didn’t always see it that way.

“There was a time when I felt a certain amount of

“Worlds of Arthur” is broken into six parts, some of which are entertaining — “The Antimatter of Arthur: Reassessing the Written Sources” — and others that are harder to read through, such as “Beyond Brooches and Borchs: Rethinking Early Medieval British Archeology.”

He takes aim at popular media, such as the movie “King Arthur” with its Sarmatian (from the Balkans) influence, and other books in a chapter named “Red Herrings and Old Chestnuts.” His feeling is that “most modern populist pseudo-historical theories about the historical Arthur seem to require you to have had a skin-full of alcohol or other mind-

Newsday

The wave in the title of Sonali Deraniyagala’s new memoir “Wave” might be a metaphor: When misfortune strikes, it crashes into and washes through our lives, then back out again.

But the wave here is deadly literal: the tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia the day after Christmas 2004. That morning Deraniyagala, a London-based, Sri Lankan-born professor of economics, was vacationing with her family on the southeastern coast

of her native island.

To no avail, they attempted to escape the 30-foot wave in a jeep, which was overturned by the “charging, churning” water.

As Deraniyagala was swept away, she reached out for and clung to a branch. When she found her feet on firm ground again, her family was gone: husband, two sons and both parents. Unlike the 2012 film about the tsunami, “The Impossible,” there is no Hollywood ending here.

But this natural disaster, made chillingly real in Deraniyagala’s spare prose, is just a prologue to

the real story: the author’s life in its aftermath. She spends months in a darkened bedroom at her aunt’s house, plotting to kill herself. She drinks recklessly in order to fall asleep at night, knowing she “had to wake up the next morning and relearn the truth all over again.” When a Dutch family rents her parents’ abandoned home, she begins to torment them, ringing the doorbell at all hours and making crank calls. She is not a noble widow.

Almost four years after she left it, Deraniyagala returns to their London home, frozen in time; a

resentment about it and then I think that transitioned into a kind of pride,” Jones says.

“I grew up in the kind of working-class household where there wasn’t a lot of excess or luxury, but I never palpably felt need: I had a stable home, I wasn’t hungry. I knew my parents were there for me and they loved me,” Jones says. “It really prepared me in the best possible way for being an adult.”

It also gave her insight as a writer.

“It’s always been very important to grant my characters dignity and intelligence, and a lot of the portrayals of workingclass characters depict them as pitiable and unintelligent,” she says. “A person who is not bringing home that much money and lives in a crummy house still feels love and Inspiration, like the anguish, and is hungry for beauty and connection, flock of sparrows settling onto my and it is important for me garden fence, flutters to convey that.” for one brief moment, then flaring, seeks a friendlier perch, while I, a willing host, am left bereft.

POET’S SHOWCASE

Inspiration

enhancing substance in order to believe them.”

So, after exhaustively taking readers through the evidence, he comes to this conclusion: The legendary King Arthur never existed.

This won’t mean anything to those who enjoy Arthurian legends.

For example, the fourth season of the U.K. show “Merlin” on Syfy recently drew more than 1.5 million viewers, a very good number for a cable channel.

The series finale has been held until May. In late May comes the big kahuna of Arthurian publishing: an unfinished work by J.R.R.Tolkien called “The Fall of Arthur.” It’s bound to be a best-seller.

Gradually, she sketches in portraits of her husband, Steve, and the boys, Vikram and Malli; they become not casualties but characters. “I have learned that I can only recover myself when I keep them near,” she writes.

Like Joan Didion’s “Year of Magical Thinking,” “Wave” captures the elusive, shape-shifting nature of grief. There are no selfhelp lessons here, only the story of a woman who finds a way to live when her loved ones have died.

Winter, edging toward spring, is reluctant to release Earth from its icy grip.

It teases, hints of green emerging from under piles of dirtied snow.

A newly-arrived robin eyes the damp earth, alert to motion too slight and sound too soft for my senses.

A hawk, sharp-shinned and sharp-eyed, drifts overhead. A careless junco, pecking at seeds spilled from the feeder, delays departure too long.

Whush! Curved talons penetrate the fragile, feathered body, carrying it, struggling, to a safe perch atop a street light.

Inspiration still elusive, I seek in vain for the sun, an oppressive gray obscuring that cherished orb. Leafless trees mock me. But wait! Closer look reveals tiny swellings along the branches. Can it be?

Hope springs forth, and Inspiration returns.

LOS ANGELES — Harrison Ford isn’t ready — “yet” — to talk about his reported part in Disney’s planned “Star Wars” sequel, but he praises its director, J.J. Abrams.

“I think he’s fantas- Ford tic,” Ford said in a recent interview. “I did his first movie, ‘Regarding Henry,’ with Mike Nichols. A wonderful talent. Extraordinary guy.”

The 70-year-old actor — who came to fame playing Han Solo in the “Star Wars” trilogy — is shrugging off questions about that character while promoting his role as Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey in the upcoming Jackie Robinson film “42.”

Asked how he feels

generally that the “Star Wars” sequel and Disney spinoffs are in the works, Ford responded: “I don’t feel anything at the moment yet.”

In an article published earlier this month, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas told Bloomberg Businessweek that Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher had been in negotiations to return to the franchise even before Lucasfilm was sold to Disney last fall.

Was Ford surprised by that announcement? He makes the universal zipping-my-lips sign. Asked what it will take to get him to commit to play Han Solo again, Ford said, “Um, I don’t even want to discuss that. It’s great.

Ain’t it great?”

It’s been over two decades since Abrams wrote the “Regarding Henry” screenplay. Have the two chatted recently?

“About what?” Ford asked, smirking and taking a slow sip from a cup.

Mentally challenged man causes problems in store Dear Annie: I took a job at a local bookstore after my position as a special ed teacher was downsized. Now I have a “special ed” problem at work.

A woman comes in here once a week with her son, a mentally challenged adult. The son is big and heavy, and his mother is tiny and fragile.

Every time they are here, the son has a meltdown.

Today, he threw himself on the floor, blocking the checkout area, and wouldn’t get up.

I’m used to dealing with special needs kids in a school, but not adults in a retail establishment.

Would it be wrong to tell his mother we cannot accommodate her son in our store the next time they show up? I realize if we bar him, it makes us look mean, but we have a business to run.

A member of our staff suggested to the boss that we make them leave, but I advised against it. If we

can’t get him to go voluntarily, we would have to physically escort him to the sidewalk, and he would probably struggle.

If he gets hurt in the process, we’d be sued. I also advised against calling the police, because things could get even more physically rough.

I suggested to the boss that we wait for the next time they come to the store and politely refuse entry.

Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with these adults when they are on outings? — New York Problem

Melodrama in ‘Selfridge’ a tough sell A new variation of “Upstairs Downstairs” set in a department store, the “Masterpiece Classic” presentation of “Mr. Selfridge” (8 p.m. Sunday, PBS, check local listings) is scripted by Andrew Davies (“Bleak House”) and features the first starring role for Jeremy Piven since his Emmywinning turn in “Entourage.”

Piven plays Harry Gordon Selfridge, a Chicago merchandiser who shakes up early 20th-century London society by catering to customers and whipping up public awareness of his shopping emporium with an outsized gusto that some find exciting and others deem vulgar. His penchant for huge gestures excites his thousands of employees and makes his department store a perfect setting for love affairs, social striving and the emancipation of its many female employees from Victorian mores.

In its early going, “Selfridge” unfolds like a highly choreographed dance, as the title character inspires, conspires and perspires with a bracing allAmerican energy. In some ways, “Selfridge” has the high-strung energy of a musical without a score.

And it’s too bad Davies never wrote that libretto, because what might have worked as operetta often seems stilted as melodrama. And the fault lies principally with its star. As Selfridge, Piven delivers every line with an enthusiasm just short of bombast.

His volume and tone rarely vary.

Whether he’s sharing an intimate moment with his mistress, exhorting hundreds of employees to greater sales or chastising his daughters at breakfast, he’s always selling something — most often, himself.

The epic series “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m. Sunday, HBO) enters its highly anticipated third season. Bring on the betrayals, swordplay and dragons. A lavishly produced variation on appointment TV, “Game” is hard to follow and a challenge to fully comprehend. But its followers, once they’re hooked, find it impossible to miss.

Sunday’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Testimony may free a man imprisoned for four decades; Sudan’s lost boys.

A birthday to remember on “Call the Midwife” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

“The Bible” (7 p.m., History) surveys the New Testament, from Christ’s betrayal and crucifixion to Paul’s conversion and mission.

BIRTHDAYS Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is 73. Actor Christopher Walken is 70. Former Vice President Al Gore is 65. Rock musician Angus Young (AC/DC) is 58. Actor Marc McClure is 56. Actor William McNamara is 48. Alt-country musician Bob Crawford (The Avett Brothers) is 42. Actor Ewan McGregor is 42. Pop musician Jack Antonoff (fun.) is 29. Actress Jessica Szohr is 28.

Dear New York: We contacted the medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), who said you’re to be commended for your sensitivity in not letting a meltdown escalate into a physical confrontation. What’s important is to focus on behavior. If customers cannot behave appropriately, store owners are within their rights to use discretion in asking them to leave or to not come back in the future.

In this case, the request can be raised gently with the mother the next time she and her son come into the store. To avoid discriminating against a medical condition, the store owner should state that they are welcome to return when they are able to properly manage the son’s behavior.

It is also possible that the mother cannot leave the son at home alone and has no one to help her in caregiving. Although it’s

not your role to be a social worker, simple compassion can go a long way in helping the situation.

Dear Annie: A family member recently had a going-away party for their son two days before he was to leave for boot camp. Many of us gave him gifts. The kid decided the night before leaving that he had changed his mind and wasn’t going after all. Should he return the gifts and money? Most of us think he should, but no one wants to be the one to tell him.

— California Dear California: Yes, all gifts and money should be returned as soon as possible. (The same applies to canceled Universal Crossword weddings and other giftgiving occasions.)
