Minority groups push for voting changes By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Minority leaders in Kansas and other voting rights advocates are pushing for passage of a bill this year that they say would dramatically increase voter turnout by allowing people to register to vote on Election Day and still have their vote counted. “Same-day registration” is already allowed in 10 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Finney National Conference of State Legislatures, and Hawaii will become the 11th state in 2018. “We really believe everybody should have access to voting anytime, not just a few days out of the year. As long as they come with ID, why shouldn’t they be able to vote?” said Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita, who recently introduced a sameday registration bill in the House.

LAWRENCE COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER EARL RICHARDSON crouches behind a 5x7 camera as he readies it for a portrait of Lawrence resident Tom Underwood and his 1916 Ford Model T outside his Lawrence home on Nov. 4, 2015. For a recent series of portraits, Richardson is using a process called “wet plate collodion,” which goes back over 150 years and was used most notably during the Civil War. At right, three portraits Richardson shot using the method are pictured.

Murder case raises questions about juvenile courts District attorney could try to charge 16-year-old as adult By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

On Dec. 28, police found 67-year-old Deborah Bretthauer dead in her apartment with “obvious traumatic injuries.” Jaered Long, her 16-year-old grandson, was arrested shortly thereafter and charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder. Long’s arrest and charging led to multiple questions surrounding differences in the judiciary process between juveniles and adults. For teenagers charged with a

violent crime, the decisions of whether they will be charged as a juvenile or an adult are lifealtering. In the cases of violent crimes — or an off-grid felony, as prosecutors sometimes label them — the differences in sentencing guidelines between juveniles and adults couldn’t be more stark. “If a juvenile is adjudicated of an off-grid felony, they would be looking at a maximum sentence of 60 months or to the age of 22 and a half,” said Bryant Barton, assistant Douglas County district attorney and juvenile prosecutor. “Whereas

if an adult is convicted of an offgrid felony they could be looking at a life sentence.” Long — who pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial and a final decision on whether he will be tried as a juvenile or an adult — faces similar stakes. If convicted, the differences in a juvenile sentence versus an adult sentence likely would be more than 40 years. The Journal-World interviewed professionals who work in Douglas County’s juvenile justice world to get a better understanding of how the often unseen system functions.

Charges When a juvenile — anyone between the ages of 10 and 17 — is arrested, the nature of the case will determine how he is charged, said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson. Under Kansas law, juveniles under the age of 10 may not be charged with a crime, Branson said. If a juvenile is accused of misdemeanors or low-level felonies, he will likely continue through the court system charged as a juvenile, Branson said.

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

That idea was among the top priorities listed for the 2016 session when the Kansas Black Leadership Council held its statewide convention in Topeka in November. Under current Kansas law, voters must be registered at least 21 days before an election. Finney’s bill would change that by allowing voters to go to their county election office or any advance voting satellite office within 20 days before an election, or to their local polling place on Election Day, and cast a ballot at the same time they register. Those ballots would be held separate and would not be counted until county election officers verify that the information submitted is accurate, and that the voter has not already cast a ballot in the same election anywhere else. Those voters also would still have to comply with state laws requiring a photo ID and proof of U.S. citizenship. “We’re asking people, bring it that day. Still have your ID, bring your birth certificate. Be prepared,” Finney said. “Even with that, it would at least give them an opportunity to vote.” But it’s likely to face an uphill battle in the Kansas Legislature, which in recent years has passed more restrictive voting laws, including the photo ID and proof of citizenship requirements. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who championed passage of those laws in 2011, said he had not seen the language of Finney’s bill. But he said he is generally skeptical of same-day registration as a matter of policy. “It creates a huge problem of people voting multiple times in the same election because our polling places are not connected electronically,” he said. Rep. Mark Kahrs, RWichita, who chairs the House Elections Committee where the bill will likely be referred, said he also had not yet seen the bill, but expressed many of the same general reservations as Kobach. “We don’t know who these people are. We don’t know if they’re citizens. We don’t know where they live. It’s just ripe for fraud

he was a lifelong Bruins, Dodgers, Rams and Bears fan. Doug is survived by his daughters, Linda Bastyr and partner Andrea Witczak, Susan Bastyr and husband Patrick Baumgartner and children Reese and Rayna, and Lisa Morris and children Noah and Luke, and his sister Beverly and her children and grandchildren.

“

The biggest barrier to voting really is the registration deadline.” — Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew and abuse, and I don’t support it at all,” he said. Kahrs did, however, say he would allow the committee to hold hearings on the bill, if the concerns about ID and verification could be worked out. Finney and other supporters of the bill say they believe the bill addresses the concern about fraud by providing that the ballots won’t be counted until after election officials verify that the voter’s information is accurate and that the voter has not voted at multiple locations. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said he thinks same-day registration would be especially helpful in university towns such as Lawrence, where many people, particularly younger voters, move frequently and forget to update their voter registration. “The biggest barrier to voting really is the registration deadline,” Shew said. “If you’re leaving one state and coming to another state, and you miss the deadline there but you also miss the deadline here, you don’t get to vote. And the largest group that that impacts is 18- to 24-year-olds.” Mark Joslyn, a political science professor at Kansas University who studies voting behavior, said studies have shown same-day registration significantly increases voter participation, particularly among younger voters and other groups that typically have low voter turnout. “Often voters who would make up their minds toward the end, or who aren’t even paying attention until toward the very end, would benefit from this,” he said. Rep. Finney wouldn’t speculate on the chances of the bill passing the Legislature this year, although she acknowledged it will be a challenge. “We need to be encouraging voting,” she said. “And as a legislator, part of my job, and part of the community’s job, is to keep encouraging this type of democracy.” — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Lawmakers moving quickly to balance budget Topeka (ap) — Republican leaders expect two Kansas legislative committees to approve plans next week for closing a projected $190 million deficit in the state’s next budget by using Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposals for juggling funds and capturing unanticipated savings as a starting point. Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce said the goal is for the Republicandominated Legislature to finish work on a budgetbalancing plan by the end of February. He and other GOP leaders said closing the budget shortfall quickly will allow lawmakers to focus on finding and fixing long-term inefficiencies in state government. But legislators in both parties worry that budget work will be complicated by month-to-month revenue shortfalls. For 2014 and 2015, tax collections fell short of expectations for 17 of the 24 months; officials will learn Monday how the state fared in January. Both the Senate Ways and Means Committee and the House Appropriations Committee plan to vote next week on budget-balancing proposals. “The first part of our work is to clean up the budget,” said the House committee’s chairman, Republican Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., of Olathe. “The majority of our work this year, out of the budget committees and Appropriations, will be looking at ways to make government run more efficiently and better.” The state has struggled to balance the budget since Republican legislators slashed personal income taxes at Brownback’s urging in 2012 and 2013 in an effort to stimulate the economy. Most of those reductions have been preserved, but GOP lawmakers last year raised sales and cigarette taxes. Brownback’s proposals for closing the projected gap in the $16.1 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 include booking savings for the state from an increase in federal funds for children’s health coverage and lowerthan-anticipated costs for teacher pension contributions. He wants to divert highway funds to general government programs and sell off the assets of a state economic development agency. The governor has ruled out tax increases this year and his proposals are designed to keep the state from cutting aid to public schools, the biggest item in the annual budget. Republican leaders argue that the work can move quickly because lawmakers are only revising a spending blueprint for state government approved last year. Bruce, a Nickerson Republican, said a fix “isn’t terribly complicated.” But Rep. Jerry Henry, of Atchison, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said Brownback’s proposals aren’t going to get enough scrutiny.

An engaged Lawrence couple who wanted to use a city cemetery as their wedding venue had their request shot down by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department this week. Marrying in a place that’s the end

for many was supposed to be a “nice, memorable” beginning for Abbie Stutzer and her fiance, she said. Stutzer envisioned a Halloween evening wedding in Oak Hill Cemetery this year, away from gravestones but surrounded by the cemetery’s fall foliage. But the request “ruffled a few feathers” at City Hall, she said via email.

Trend CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

said that applications in Kansas are lower than the national average. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us more business as the openings occur, but the other side is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more and more difficult to recruit candidates,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Jacobson, the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner and CEO.

Many factors Since 2011, 162 Kansas superintendents have resigned or retired, according to information provided to the Journal-World by the Kansas School Superintendentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. That means that of the 286 school districts in Kansas, more than half have seen turnover in the superintendent position in the past five years. Buie said that the increased number of resignations is a combination of several factors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as people generally staying in positions for shorter amounts of time and large numbers becoming eligible to retire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that exist in many professions. But others are more specific to public education, such as the debate over school funding in Kansas and criticism of school district spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time you turn around someone is beating up on you, intentionally or unintentionally, and it just wears on you,â&#x20AC;? Buie said. Buie said the trend of higher superintendent turnover has become more clear over the past three or four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it at the beginning; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toward the end that you notice the trend,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jacobson has also been noting a trend in Kansas. The firm, which is based in Omaha, Neb., has consultants nationwide and

to do the job anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a little more financially secure. I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening is that there are superintendents that are probably working four or five years less than they would have.â&#x20AC;?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening here is that a lot of us, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a stage in our lives when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do the job anymore.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Outgoing Lawrence Public Schools Superintendent Rick Doll has been doing superintendent searches in Kansas for the past 10 years. Jacobson said that the firm began seeing fewer applications in Kansas beginning about five years ago. Nationally, Jacobson said the firm usually gets 25 to 35 applications for each open superintendent position, but in Kansas it only receives 15 to 20. As far as those leaving the position, Jacobson said he thought one of the main factors was baby boomers reaching retirement age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the numbers coming into the profession that we used to,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Funding issues Both Buie and Jacobson noted that the ongoing debate over school funding in the Kansas Legislature is not far from the minds of superintendents in the state. Last spring, the Legislature repealed the per-pupil school funding formula that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it with block grants until 2017, during which time lawmakers will put together a new funding formula. Funding for Kansas public schools is the biggest category of spending in the state, and several significant changes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; consolidation of the number of school districts, merit pay for teachers, spending more money on instruction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have come up since the Kansas Legislature opened its session earlier this month. Buie said that when districts consolidate administrative positions, more responsibilities are added to the role of the superintendent.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being more efficient you may have to cut an assistant superintendent or a director or two, and those jobs may get redirected into your lap,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jacobson said for any state with school funding issues, that pressure may contribute to superintendents considering other options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a state long enough that you can probably take a retirement or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just starting out and you find that the financial difficulties are there, you may look at another state thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite as desperate,â&#x20AC;? he said. Current Lawrence Public Schools Superintendent Rick Doll, 61, announced in November that he would resign his position at the end of the school year. Doll has accepted a fulltime position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University. Doll said he thinks the increase in turnover isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about a lack of financial support, but also a lack of moral support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time that our budgets have been cut, schools have been villainized by some legislators, and I know that I sometimes take that personally,â&#x20AC;? he said. For him, Doll said that environment did contribute to his decision to take a job elsewhere, and that other superintendents may also be working fewer years than they would have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening here is that a lot of us, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a stage in our lives when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

Change, continuity One of the undeniable effects of a new superintendent is change. Buie said although change can be good for superintendents to get a fresh start or districts to get new ideas coming in, too much change can have a negative effect on school districts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you see people in positions for shorter and shorter amounts of time you see more change, you see less continuity and you see districts in more of a flux as far as understanding their direction and what that direction might look like,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some districts look to hire from within instead of bringing in someone completely new. Jacobson said that often the firm goes to assistant superintendents to see if they are interested in the position, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of cabinet-level individuals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people who are assistant superintendents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we try to recruit and a response we often get is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched what the superintendent does and for the little difference of money, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy where we are,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Jacobson said.

housing on the northwest corner of 25th Terrace and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Road. That project also applied for state housing credits. The development, though, never got off the ground. This latest project would be farther to the south on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Road, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be focused on retirees. Instead, it would have more of a focus on working families, it seems. The development group has a concept plan for the project that shows the 32 apartments

Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search According to KSSA, 28 districts had their superintendents resign this year, and about 20 of those positions are still waiting to be filled for the upcoming school year. Despite the challenges, Jacobson said he thinks Lawrence will get good candidates applying to the position. As far as the number of applicants to Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position since it opened

Jacobson said there are several factors that he thinks will help Lawrence be competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawrence has a great reputation as a school district; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very childcentered and the board certainly is very childcentered,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to that, its location is going to be a draw and university towns are also attractive to individuals that are in education.â&#x20AC;? Earlier this week, the Lawrence school board confirmed that the new superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary will be between $205,000 and $215,000 per year, the high end of which is 24 percent more than the current superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary. Doll has told school board members that choosing the next superintendent is the most important decision they will make as a board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion they have to choose somebody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only effective at achieving (the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) goals, but also somebody that they can work with, because the relationship between the superintendent and the school board is very close,â&#x20AC;? Doll said. The deadline for application is Feb. 16. The board will choose its final candidates March 3 and March 4 and make its hiring decision March 8, and the decision will be made public by the end of that week.

Baldwin City group renews push for community center

fter two months, the Baldwin City Recreation Commission’s effort to build a community center is about to be restarted. In November, BCRC board members addressed the Baldwin City Council and the Baldwin school board, announcing the board’s intent to push for a community center. Board member Ginny Honomichl got what she wanted from the city council: a pledge to support the BCRC’s exploration of options to build and finance a community center. Nothing was asked of the school board, although board members were told the district would be asked to provide property for the facility. Soon after the school board presentation, the

Richardson, whom I have known since I was a part-time photographer and he was a staffer for the Journal-World back in 2001, invited me to come and observe this photographic process called “wet plate collodion.” The process dates back to the 1850s and was employed by Mathew Brady and other photographers during the Civil War to portray soldiers, generals and even President Lincoln. The only noticeable difference between Richardson’s and Brady’s methods is that Brady developed his photos in a wet lab and darkroom pulled by horses. Richardson, on this day, is working out of the trunk of his Subaru. “I don’t know how the hell they did that,” Richardson says. “I’m out working in the back of a Subaru wagon on a windy day and they’re out there on a battlefield in a horse-drawn wagon looking for water, probably.” To give a quick idea about how the wet plate collodion process works, it essentially involves treating a metal or glass plate with a chemical mixture (collodion) that allows silver to adhere to the plate, creating a lightsensitive emulsion where the image will appear. The plate is then loaded into a light-sealed housing and then into the camera. An exposure of a scene or subject is made by removing the lens cap (usually for about a second). The exposed plate is then removed from the camera still in its lightsealed housing, taken under a light-blocking shroud where it is

in its physical form on a plate with a gritty and distinct 19th century aesthetic, virtually unachievable without some very heavy-handed digital photo editing. “Even though I’ve done a couple hundred of these, every time my heart rate goes up,” says Richardson, who began experimenting with the wet plate collodion process about a year ago after being turned on to the idea by a photographer friend in Kansas City. “It kind of reminds me of the magic of being in the darkroom when I was a kid and seeing an image pop up in the tray. You never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. So there’s always that level of excitement.” Richardson’s “collodion camera” is a custommade, 12-by-12-inch maple

box. Affixed to the camera is a Dallmeyer 3B lens manufactured in 1869, just four years after the Civil War. His first test subject was his wife of 35 years, Teresa, who has not only sat for multiple portraits but has also allotted her husband the use of multiple rooms in their Old West Lawrence home to experiment and perfect his craft. “I remember the first plate I made on my own was of my wife, and it was technically terrible,” Richardson says. “It was overexposed, but I got an image on a piece of metal by myself using this process from 150 years ago. That’s pretty cool.” In some ways, Richardson explains that the wet plate collodion process isn’t as far removed from the modern digital world

L awrence J ournal -W orld as one might think with regard for its immediacy. “You go from having this piece of metal with nothing on it to about 15 seconds later (after the development process) and there’s an image on it.” In other ways, comparing the two would be akin to drawing similarities between the Pony Express and email. For example, during an allday shoot that uses modern camera technology, Richardson says he might shoot up to 4,000 images. Not with wet plates. If all is going well and he’s quick on the draw, Richardson says he can make five to six exposures an hour as preparing each plate takes between 10 and 15 minutes. But the ability to shoot 12 frames per second with a modern digital camera and a motor drive isn’t always a good thing. Richardson believes that slowing down can be beneficial to the end result. “We used to be limited to the length of the roll of film for a 35 mm camera,” Richardson says. “Now you can put a 16 gig, 32 gig or 64 gig card in your camera, and you can go out and shoot literally tens of thousands of frames. I think a lot of times, thinking about the image you’re trying to make gets pushed to the back.” In addition to Tom Underwood, his wife and his children, Richardson has “collodionized,” as he

Make an

refers to it, a multitude of friends, artists and other Lawrence residents, including yours truly. He bears a small remnant of the process in the form of a eighth-inch black stain on the tip of his right hand pinkie from working with the silver. He says the stains were much more apparent during the summer months — so much so that his wife asked him to stop making collodion prints for three weeks leading up to his youngest daughter’s wedding to allow them to fade away. “I’m doing pretty well right now. I haven’t shot for about a week,” he says while looking at his pinkie. After a year’s worth of making such portraits, Richardson says that he would one day like to put on an exhibition. For now, one of his most rewarding collodion portraits is of his granddaughter Breckin, who is 16 months old, sitting in a chair and watching with curious, bright eyes. “Actually getting her to sit still long enough for me to focus, put the plate in and make the exposure, that was one that I really enjoyed doing. I knew I was going to get one shot that day. Everything just fell into place.” — “Look” is a monthly feature by Journal-World photographer Nick Krug that looks in depth at topics of interest — particularly visual interest — in our community.

In certain cases, however, juveniles are automatically presumed to face charges as an adult, or prosecutors may file a motion to upgrade their charges later in the process. If a suspected juvenile offender — between the ages of 14 and 17 — is charged with multiple felonies, felonies involving firearms, or more serious felonies such as rape or murder, he will be presumed to be an adult, Branson said. If a juvenile’s suspected offenses do not presume him to be an adult, the prosecution may file a motion later to waive him up to adult status, Branson said. W h e n prosecuting attorneys are considering Branson how best to charge a juvenile, they consider several criteria, called presumptions, to see if the suspected offender may be charged as an adult, Branson said. These presumptions include: l Whether the alleged offense was committed in an aggressive, violent, premeditated or willful manner. l Whether the alleged offense was against a person or property. l The alleged offender’s criminal history. l The alleged offender’s maturity level. l Whether there are services available to the court likely to rehabilitate the alleged offender. If a suspected juvenile offender is presumed to be tried as an adult, or if the prosecution files a motion to upgrade the charge status, then a hearing is held where the defense will have an opportunity to rebut the adult charges, Branson said. Ultimately the charging decision is left up to the judge, Branson said. “Just because we file a motion to waive somebody up doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,” he said. In his more-than-12year tenure as Douglas County’s district attorney, Branson said his office has moved for juveniles to be charged as adults around four times. At least one of those times the judge denied the motion, he said. Currently, Long is charged as a juvenile, but the prosecution still has the ability to file a motion and charge him as an adult, Branson said. A decision will likely be made before Long’s next court appearance in early March, he said. “It’s not uncommon

for us to take our time in looking at these cases to make sure we’ve got all the information we think is important,” he said. “It’s really kind of a function of the severity of the crime and to some degree the age. Obviously if we’re looking at an 11- or 12-year-old that would weigh differently in our minds than a 17-year-old would just because of the maturity level and knowledge of those people,” Branson added. “And as the crimes get more severe, you do naturally start to see safety issues increase.” There are additional and more specific criteria that might presume a juvenile offender to be charged as an adult or be used by the prosecution to file a motion to upgrade the charging status. A full list is available online at ksrevisor. org.

Public information Typically the names of juveniles accused of crimes aren’t released, Branson said. This is largely to shield the accused and help them through the court process and back into the community. “It can be detrimental to the rehabilitation of that juvenile,” Branson said. “If everybody in the community knows exactly what they did — and I’m sure there are some people that would argue me on that point — but if everybody knows that juvenile’s business sometimes it’s tougher for them to conform to the system and get back into the right place.” “Sometimes when everybody has their eyes on you it can feel a little hopeless,” he added. There are, however, exceptions to the rules, Branson said. “We believe it is in the interest of the justice system to protect juveniles from some of the scrutiny they may have if their names are released, so we generally have an office policy that we do not discuss juvenile cases with the public,” Branson said. “Unless it’s a major case that the public interest is served by discussing it. For example, we’ve talked about Mr. Long. It’s a high-profile homicide case and because of that we’ve used his name.” There are more rules the juvenile court system follows for further releasing information about accused juvenile offenders, said Barton, the assistant district attorney. With each juvenile case there are two files, Barton said. The first file, called the official file, contains the criminal complaint, process, service, orders, journal entries and more. The second file, called the social file, contains documentation specifically directed toward the court.

The rules regarding the availability of information in juvenile cases has changed in recent years, Branson said. “When I first started, juvenile cases were just sealed, period. Nobody got that information,” he said. With changes in recent decades, the public availability of either the official or social files for any given case is often up to a judge, Barton said. “In a situation where a juvenile is 13 or younger, those official files are not available unless a judge determines that they should be open to the public. However, when a juvenile is 14 and over, that information is open to the public,” Barton said. “With the social file, that information for a child 13 and under is not allowed to come out at all. But when the child is 14 and over, it’s completely up to the judge to determine if the information in the social file is released.” On Jan. 14, Douglas County District Judge James George denied the Journal-World’s request for the probable cause affidavit in Long’s case, citing his status as a juvenile.

tendance and mandatory classes designed to help children examine their lives, their choices and the consequences of their actions, Hill said. “We also do drug and alcohol testing,” said Gina Meier-Hummel, executive director of Shelter Inc. If the juveniles pass through the program without violating the requirements, their offenses are not filed, Hill said. Since Shelter Inc. began the Pre-Filing Diversion Program in 1999, 1,465 juveniles of 1,632 juveniles have successfully completed the program, equating to a 90 percent success rate. If charges have already been filed against a juvenile, they may also qualify for a similar program, called Conditions of Release, Hill said. There, they are subject to many of the same requirements as the Pre-Filing Diversion Program, except a successful completion does not remove the charges from their record, but it is looked upon favorably by the court. The vast majority of juveniles facing criminal charges are released into the custody of their parents, Branson said. But if the alleged crime is serious enough, or a judge finds them to be a potential danger to themselves or others, they may be held in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center, 330 N.E. Industrial Lane. If a juvenile is waived up to adult status, he is then transferred to the Douglas County Jail, 3601 North 1360 Road. In a late-December detention hearing, George found Long to be a danger to himself or others and ordered him detained.

“Basically they can be sentenced to a juvenile sentence and an adult sentence,” he said. “If they can successfully complete the requirements of their juvenile sentencing, then that would complete their punishment, but if there are any problems that come up with satisfying the juvenile portion of it, then they’re subject to the adult sentence.” Charged as a juvenile, if adjudicated, Long may face up to 60 months of imprisonment, Branson said. If he is waived up to adult status, he may face life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 50 years. Long is scheduled to appear in court next at 1 p.m. March 9 for trial setting.

he goes to a disposition, which is comparable to a sentencing. Disposition guidelines for juveniles can differ from adult sentencing guidelines, Barton said using off-grid felonies — which include more serious crimes like the rape of a child — as an example. “The juvenile system by definition takes into consideration things that maybe the adult system does, but doesn’t spell out,” Barton added. “One is community safety; also you try to hold the juvenile accountable, and an effort is made to provide services or put items in place that will help the juvenile be a productive member of the community.” Some dispositions may also straddle the lines between the adult and juvenile court systems, Barton said.

Process While many of the terminologies between juvenile and adult cases differ, Branson said the two aren’t all that different. Within the past decade juveniles were given the right to a jury trial, shortening the list of differences even further. “If an adult is convicted of a crime, well, he’s convicted. If a juvenile is found guilty of a crime, he or she is adjudicated,” Barton said. “Then the adult would go to a sentencing while the juvenile would go to a disposition, Adjudication If a juvenile is found which is similar.” Some juvenile cases guilty, he is adjudicated, stop before they’re filed, Barton said. From there Branson and Barton said. Often, lesser offenses or offenses committed by juveniles with little or no criminal history can be recommended to the office’s pre-filing diversion program. The program is operated through Lawrence’s Shelter Inc., with the main goal of helping kids get back on the right track without filing criminal charges against them, said Amy Hill, juvenile intake and program supervisor at Shelter Inc. “It’s usually first offenders that are given the opportunity to have that charge not go on their record and make better choices and move on,” she said. “It’s a three- to DISCOVER YOUR six-month program. We have standard conditions to the diversion and we tailor it to the family as well.” Among the program’s requirements are 10 hours of community service per criminal charge, monitored grades and at“We love the location–

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION Agenda highlights • 5:45 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • WOW! Channel 25 • Meeting documents online at lawrenceks.org

City to consider removing Indian Hills stop signs BOTTOM LINE Commissioners will decide whether to get rid of the stop signs along 27th Street in the Indian Hills neighborhood. Temporary stop signs were installed at 27th and Louisiana streets and 27th Street and Ridge Court during street and sidewalk projects last year, and they

weren’t removed after the projects were completed. City staff reported that neither of the intersections meets the minimum criteria for being all-way stops, but those who commented at a public meeting in November wanted the city to keep them.

ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO AN AREA HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES Saturday morning after a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 24-59 just north of Lawrence, said Lt. Lyle Hagenbuch with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department. A Ford Ranger northbound on U.S. 24-59 near the intersection with U.S. Highway 40 was making a left-hand turn into a private drive around 10 a.m. Saturday when a Chevy Suburban heading south struck it, Hagenbuch said. Both drivers were walking and talking after the accident, Hagenbuch said, but one was taken to a hospital with minor injuries as a precaution. The accident is still under investigation, but Hagenbuch said he was not aware of alcohol as a factor and he believes both drivers were wearing seatbelts.

BRIEFLY Jury selection set to begin in quadruple murder case Ottawa (ap) — Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the capital murder trial of a man accused of killing four people in eastern Kansas in 2013. Kyle Trevor Flack is charged with capital murder in Franklin County in the shooting deaths of Kaylie Smith Bailey and her 18-month-old daughter. He’s also charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Andrew A. Stout and Steven White. Stout, White and Kaylie Bailey were found dead at Stout’s farm in

Ottawa, about 50 miles southwest of Kansas City. Bailey’s daughter’s body was found a few days later in neighboring Osage County. Flack has been in custody since shortly after the bodies were discovered. The Kansas City Star reports that jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday. Authorities say jury selection could take two weeks.

Trump tariffs just another tax

EDITORIALS

Jail needs It’s unfortunate but necessary for Douglas County to put forth a plan to expand and improve its jail.

ost people in Douglas County probably have things they’d rather spend $30 million on than improvements to the Douglas County Jail. Nonetheless, providing adequate jail facilities is a county responsibility that won’t go away and, in this case, may grow more expensive if expansion plans are delayed. The 187-bed jail has been at full capacity for about 18 months. During that time, the county has had to contract with other counties to house Douglas County inmates in their jails. What once was a fairly minor expense now has mushroomed. Since mid-2015, the county has been housing 60 to 70 inmates in other counties, with spikes of more than 80 inmates. The county currently is spending an average of $90,000 a month to house inmates in other facilities. At that rate, the county would spend more than $1 million this year to cover those costs. Several factors are contributing to that trend, according to county officials. The number of jail bookings has not gone up dramatically, but the average stay for an inmate rose from 7.8 days in 2011 to about 11.6 days in 2015. The jail also has encountered problems because it was not designed to house as many women or as many people with mental illness as it now must serve. The proposed 120-bed expansion of the jail would provide more and better facilities for those populations, as well as more space for re-entry programs and classes designed to help inmates successfully return to the community and avoid repeat stays in jail. Planning for a jail expansion has been paired from the beginning with discussions of how to better serve people with mental illness and perhaps keep them out of jail. Those discussions led to planning with Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center for a new mental health crisis center. In a recent public meeting, one speaker objected to having funding for the two projects tied together because voters would be likely to approve of the crisis center but not the jail. The jail and the crisis center share an important and related mission that would provide a real community benefit. It would be unfortunate to see one project pitted against the other. Although the county must provide jail services, it has little control over how many inmates it must serve. Even the discretion of local courts is limited by mandatory state sentencing laws. State prisons also are filling up, and some state officials are looking at housing more inmates in county jails across the state. Reimbursement for providing those facilities might offset expenses at the Douglas County Jail, but it won’t reduce the need for additional space. It’s discouraging to many that, only 17 years after the new Douglas County Jail opened, the county is looking at a major expansion project, but it’s unlikely that crowding at the jail is a temporary situation. Putting off dealing with the situation won’t make it go away. LAWRENCE

Washington — Woodrow Wilson, who enjoyed moralizing about the mundane, called paying taxes a “glorious privilege.” In 1865, when there was a Civil War income tax, one taxpayer shared this sensibility, sort of. Mark Twain said that his tax bill of $36.82 (including a $3.12 fine for filing late) made him feel “important” because the government was paying attention to him. Today, Rep. Kevin Brady wants to change the way government pays attention to taxpayers. Congress is like a Calder mobile: Something jiggled here causes things to wiggle over there. When conservatives toppled Speaker John Boehner, they inadvertently propelled Brady into the House’s most important chairmanship, that of the Ways and Means Committee. Because revenue bills must originate in the House, Brady now wields Congress’ most important gavel, all because the committee’s previous chairman, Paul Ryan, now sits in Boehner’s chair. If there is going to be growth-igniting tax reform — and if there isn’t, American politics will sink deeper into distributional strife — Brady will begin it. Fortunately, the Houston congressman is focused on this simple arithmetic: Three percent growth is not 1 percent better than 2 percent growth, it is 50 percent better. If the Obama-era’s average annual growth of 2.2 percent becomes the “new normal,” over the next 50 years real GDP will grow

Here, at last, Donald Trump actually resembles a Republican. Unfortunately, it is a Republican from 125 years ago, when the party stood for big government serving crony capitalism with high tariffs.” from today’s $16.3 trillion to $48.3 trillion. If, however, growth averages 3.2 percent, real GDP in 2065 will be $78.6 trillion. At 2.2 percent growth, the cumulative lost wealth would be $521 trillion. Brady, however, would like to start with the approximately $2 trillion that U.S. corporations have parked overseas. Having already paid taxes on it where it was earned, the corporations sensibly resist having it taxed again by America’s corporate tax, the highest in the industrial world. “(The $2 trillion) won’t just naturally fly back to us,” Brady says. Measures should be taken to make it rational for corporations to bring

money home. And to make it rational for corporations like Pfizer, which recently moved its headquarters to Ireland for tax purposes, to remain here. In the last 30 years, Brady says, more and more taxes have been paid by fewer and fewer people. And fewer and fewer businesses have been organized as corporations: Three-quarters of jobcreating entities are not paying corporate taxes. “You can’t,” Brady says, “ask people to make big changes, leapfrogging our global competitors, just to get to average.” But making big changes “is why we all came to Congress.” And the benefit that comes from something unfortunate — the fact that there are so few (perhaps fewer than 40) competitive House seats — is that members can take risks. Presidential engagement is necessary for tax reform, and Brady says that will require a new president who understands that “just a little respect goes a long way up here (on Capitol Hill).” All Republican presidential candidates have tax reform proposals, but only one candidate proposes increasing the cost of government for every American. Here, at last, Donald Trump actually resembles a Republican. Unfortunately, it is a Republican from 125 years ago, when the party stood for big government serving crony capitalism with high tariffs. As Steven R. Weisman demonstrates in his splendid history of American

taxation, “The Great Tax Wars,” the GOP’s tariffs were indirect, hidden sales taxes that crimped consumption by Americans with small incomes. In 1913, the first year of Wilson’s presidency and the year the 16th Amendment and the income tax arrived, the glorious privilege of paying taxes was enjoyed primarily through tariffs: They provided nearly half of federal revenues, with most of the rest coming from tobacco and liquor taxes, which also were hardest on persons of modest means. Trump, who works himself into a lather because Nabisco is making some Oreo cookies outside the country, is obsessed with America’s trade with China. “We’re going to get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country,” says he, aiming to raise the price Americans pay for Apple products that today are assembled in China, which, according to trade attorney Scott Lincicome, makes about $6 by assembling an iPhone from parts (many of which China has imported). Trump favors a 45 percent tariff to protect customers of Wal-Mart and similar retailers from the onslaught of inexpensive Chinese apparel, appliances and food. He can explain the glorious privilege of paying taxesas-tariffs when he makes his next visit to a Wal-Mart, perhaps the one in Secaucus, N.J., just 7 miles from his Fifth Avenue penthouse. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Justice seldom gets more poetic “A lie can get halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” That nugget of wisdom dates from the 1800s, i.e., decades before anyone ever heard of the Internet — much less Fox News. If a lie traveled that fast in the 19th century, you can only imagine its speed in the 21st, when media and the World Wide Web have given it wings. Indeed, in 2016, the lie is so broadly and brazenly told as to cower truth itself and to render impotent and faintly ridiculous the little voice insisting, against all evidence, that facts matter. It seems increasingly obvious that to many of us, they simply don’t. Not anymore. We find ourselves embarked upon a post-empirical era in which the very idea that facts are knowable and concrete has become quaint. These days, facts are whatever the politics of the moment needs them to be. We’ve seen this over and over in recent years. We’ve seen it in the controversy over Barack Obama’s birthplace, in the accusations that Sept. 11 was an inside job, in the charge that weapons of mass destruction were in fact discovered in Iraq, and in the claims that there is no scientific consensus about

“

It seems Planned Parenthood was exonerated by a grand jury after an investigation into spurious charges the reproductive healthcare provider was selling baby parts for profit.” global warming. Lunatic assertions that fly in the face of the known are now the norm in American political discourse. So last week’s news out of Houston came as a welcome jolt. It seems Planned Parenthood was exonerated by a grand jury after an investigation into spurious charges the reproductive healthcare provider was selling baby parts for profit. Simultaneously, two so-called “citizen journalists” who orchestrated the hoax — David Daleiden, 27, and Sandra

Merritt, 62 — were indicted. It was a moment of sweet vindication for Planned Parenthood, following months of vilification and investigation. This all sprang from a series of videos secretly recorded by Daleiden’s antiabortion group, “The Center For Medical Progress” during conversations with officials of various Planned Parenthood affiliates. Released last year, the videos purported to show the officials negotiating the sale of fetal tissue with people they believed to be medical researchers. As Planned Parenthood first protested, an investigation by FactCheck.org later indicated, and a grand jury now affirms, the videos were deceptively edited. Tissue from aborted fetuses has been used in biomedical research since the 1930s to study everything from polio to Parkinson’s, and while the law prohibits its sale, the patient is allowed to donate it, and Planned Parenthood is allowed to recoup reasonable costs for preparation and transportation to supply it to scientists. This is what the Planned Parenthood representatives were talking about. This is what the videos were edited to hide. One is reminded of how,

back in 2010, another activist used another deceptivelyedited video to suggest that a speech by a black federal employee named Shirley Sherrod was proof of antiwhite hatred. It turned out Sherrod’s speech actually made precisely the opposite point; she spoke of the need to overcome such hatred. That video, like these, suggests that what we’re dealing with here is not “citizen journalists” — whatever that idiotic term even means — but activist zealots out to advance their agenda and embarrass their opponents by any means necessary, without regard to simple decency or plain old truth. Increasingly, that is the way of things. So it’s welcome news that the two CPM hoaxers find themselves facing felony charges for allegedly using falsified driver’s licenses to identify themselves to Planned Parenthood. We are told that that constitutes fraud. In other words, Daleiden and Merritt were ensnared by the trap they set. Justice seldom gets more poetic. Yes, lies have always moved faster than truth. But it feels good to see truth pull even every now and then. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Fossil hunter knows prehistoric Kansas inside and out By Tim Horan

“

Everything (in the fossil collection) is labeled. Everything is numbered. I’ve had people from as far — Three hun- away as Kenya and Belgium visit.” Associated Press

Smith Center dred million years ago, Kansas was covered in water that was teeming with life, including sharks. Thirteen thousand years ago, mammoths roamed the state. Seventy-six-year-old Smith Center resident Bob Levin, an amateur paleontologist, has a collection of about 6,000 artifacts to back up those and other facts about prehistoric Kansas. Levin said he was 6 or 7 years old when he found deer antlers sticking out of a creek bed. That was enough to get Levin interested in digging, preserving, studying and collecting animal fossils. “I’ve been digging and scratching ever since,” he said. Levin retired as the owner of an ambulance service in 2000, which allowed him to step up his search for ancient animal bones and teeth. The Salina Journal reports

— Bob Levin, amateur paleontologist that his latest find, a femur ball (hip) of a mammoth, was discovered just this past month. It was part of a mammoth he first discovered in 1998. Now, 18 years later, he unearthed another bone from the nowextinct beast. “The femur ball is larger than a softball, so he was a big dude,” he said of the mammoth. “It was eroding out of a wash across the road where I found the other bones,” Levin said. “It was down inside of a gully. There was just a little bit of bone sticking out. I didn’t know what it was the first day. It took some digging. After moving a couple of ounces of dirt I could see it was going to be the femur head.” The femur was found 65 feet

south of the main collection of mammoth bones. “It was scattered before it was buried. Something scattered it, probably water,” he said. Also this past year, Levin found the remains of a Tylosaurus proriger, a reptile-like animal. “It looked like an alligator except it didn’t have feet; it had paddles,” he said. “We had the skull, and that’s 4 feet long, so they know (the entire animal) would be 28 to 30 feet long.” Levin’s collection, which after he dies will go to Salina’s Rolling Hills Zoo, is scattered throughout his office and a garage. “Everything is labeled. Everything is numbered,” he said. “I’ve had people from as far away as

Kenya and Belgium visit.” Levin said he learned paleontology by reading books, of which he has about 800. One of Levin’s prize finds is the tooth from a shark, a Hybodus that he uncovered south of Gaylord, a small town in Smith County. “It’s very rare. I thought I was going to get to name it, but some man in England named it in 1850,” he said. “He (Louis Agassiz, a Swiss-born biologist and geologist) found one, too, so he got to name it.” He said professional paleontologists at the Field Museum of Natural History, in Chicago, verified the tooth and said that only one other like it had been found in the United States, and that was in Texas. The tooth came from a shark that lived during the Cretaceous Period, 65 to 144 million years ago. Another unique collection of fossils in his possession came from a Gomphothere, a fourtusked elephant. The bones were found 8 miles west and 13

north of Smith Center. “I have a five-and-a-half foot tusk and a lower tusk that’s 24 inches long,” Levin said. Though an amateur, Levin has worked in Wyoming with world-renowned paleontologist Bob Bakker. Bakker, famous for his white beard and straw hat, was a consultant for the classic dinosaur movie “Jurassic Park.” Levin also helped dig with the University of Nebraska as a field assistant at the Ashfall Fossil Beds Historical Park in northeastern Nebraska. “He has a huge collection,” said Ashfall park Superintendent Rick Otto. “There are some avid collectors around. You get over into the western part of Kansas, that’s good fossil-hunting country.” Levin said there are six sites in Smith County where whole bones or bone fragments of mammoths have been found. “They were pretty thick up here actually, if you know where to look,” he said. And knowing where to look is the secret.

At least 3 dozen migrants die as boat flips 10 children among those killed trying to reach Turkish coast Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

At least 37 people — including at least 10 children — drowned early Saturday off the western coast of Turkey when a boat packed with migrants capsized, according to media reports. “I am afraid the numbers will rise as divers continue the search,” Mehmet Ünal Şahin, the mayor of Ayvacik, said, according to CNN-Turk TV. “Local people woke up to the sound of screaming migrants.” The five-mile journey in the Aegean Sea from the Turkish

coast to the Greek island of Lesbos is short, but rocky — causing the tragedy that killed several babies and toddlers. Turkish news agency Anadolu reported that 39 died. Saim Eskioglu, deputy governor for the coastal Canakkale province that includes Ayvacik, said he suspects that number is correct, but only 37 bodies had been recovered so far, and more remained trapped inside the sunken vessel, according to the Associated Press. A Turkish government official told the Associated Press the 56foot boat hit rocks almost immediately after leaving shore.

About 75 people were rescued, the Turkish Coast Guard said. The victims were from Afghanistan, Myanmar and Syria, Anadolu reported. Another private Turkish news agency, Doga, said police arrested a Turkish man suspected of being the smuggler who organized Saturday's failed sea crossing. The man denied responsibility, telling Doga that he also had relatives on board. The Geneva-based International Organization for Migration said 244 people died attempting to reach Europe by boat in the first 28 days of 2016, most of them en route from the

The organization estimates 55,528 migrants made crossings to Europe so far this year — nearly 2,000 per day. The most popular access point is Greece’s Aegean Sea, followed by a central Mediterranean route from Libya to Italy. Many are fleeing war in Syria and other countries, while others are seeking better economic opportunities. Turkey is hosting an estimated 2.5 million refugees from Syria.

The Navy challenged China and other countries’ “excessive” attempts to restrict navigation in the South China Sea on Saturday, sailing the guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur near disputed islands there, according to the Pentagon. The “freedom of navigation operation” took the vessel within 12 miles of Triton Island, said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman. The operation took place late Friday ET. The Curtis Wilbur’s passage makes good on pledges by President Obama and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to assert legitimate claims to sail freely in international waters, Davis said. There were no Chinese ships in the area when the Curtis Wilbur sailed past. “This operation demonstrated, as the president and secretary have stated, that we will fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows,” Davis said. “That is true in the South China Sea, as in other places around the globe.” China, Taiwan and Vietnam have attempted to restrict navigation around islands and other features in the area, seeking prior permission from vessels sailing near them. Their claims do not comply with international law, Davis said, and no permission was sought before the Curtis Wilbur sailed past. The South China Sea has become a flashpoint as China and countries bordering it seek control of trade routes and mineral deposits. China has been hauling massive amounts of sand to build on reefs and create landing strips. WASHINGTON

Trump regains lead in final Iowa Poll before caucuses With Cruz, Rubio also popular choices, it could be a close call

Clinton clings to lead in a statistical tie

Donald Trump has muscled ahead in Iowa, regaining his lead on the brink of the first votes being cast in the 2016 presidential race. Trump stands at 28%, while rival Ted Cruz has slid to 23%. But there’s still a strong case for Cruz in this race — he’s more popular and respected than Trump, the final Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll shows. “The drill-down shows, if anything, stronger alignment with Cruz than Trump, except for the horse race,” said J. Ann Selzer, the pollster for the Iowa Poll.

Hillary Clinton has kept a tight grip on her slim lead over Bernie Sanders in the waning hours leading into the Iowa caucuses, a new Iowa Poll shows. Clinton is the top pick for 45% of likely Democratic caucusgoers, with Sanders at 42%, The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll shows. Clinton’s support is up 3 percentage points from earlier this month, and Sanders’ is 2 percentage points higher. “This race is as tight as can be,” said David Axelrod, a national political strategist. “If Bernie Sand-

SNOWSLIDE DEATHS CLIMB IN THE WEST IN JANUARY Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Several “big and dangerous” avalanches took a toll on skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers in the western USA this month, making January the deadliest month on the mountains since 2008. January is typically the month with the most avalanche fatalities in the U.S., but this January proved worse than normal, with 11 people killed, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which tracks fatalities and accidents nationwide. Last weekend, avalanches killed four people. Overall, 14 people have died in snowslides this winter, all in the western U.S. The 11 fatalities this month is the largest number of deaths in January since 2008, when 19 people died in avalanches. Last year, one person died during a v CONTINUED FROM 1B

is trying to do to find a non-violent solution to an armed impasse on the Western range. At one point during a recent six-hour meeting with chief protester Ammon Bundy and his guards in the sheriff’s personal office, Ward never asked that they remove the guns they carried, a fact that did not sit well with Steve Grasty, the county’s top official and judge. “Matter of fact, I told him after that, don’t you let that happen in this courthouse,” Grasty recalls. Ward, known for his strength — he holds the record for fastest knockout in the Fort Bliss boxing tournament — was privately angry with the occupiers, but he pressed on through stagnant negotiations, according to his parents, Jim and Linda Ward. On Jan. 7, Dave Ward met with Bundy at a desolate intersection, barren except for sagebrush and sky. In the meeting, which was videotaped, the sheriff offers Bundy and his clan safe passage from the refuge if they will surrender. “I think that there are some positives that could come out of this,” the sheriff tells Bundy. “We’re getting ignored again, sir,” Bundy replies, angry over the U.S. government’s refusal to meet their demand that federally managed land be turned over to county-level control. The lawman and the outlaw then shake hands and part ways. The situation escalated. Ward’s wife had her tires slashed. He arranged a safe house for her where she still remains. His parents were followed by militants as they left their granddaughter’s Christmas play. The people of Burns, angry at the occupiers, were becoming miffed with Ward’s perceived inaction. Jim Ward, 78, said his son wanted to find a way to end the conflict without bloodshed, focusing on a mantra he has always preached: “Do the right thing. Then suffer the consequences.” The sheriff’s mother, Linda Ward, 74, said her son confided in her that he did all he could. It wasn’t enough. “I’m sorry that there was a death but I’m very proud of how he handled it,” Linda said. She believes her son’s military experience helps him keep a level head. In Somalia, when he was a teenager and an Army medic, Ward exercised a gentle hand when dealing with patients, his

warm, nearly snow-free January. Significant snowfall forecast for the last two days of the month was expected to produce perilous avalanche conditions that could push the toll higher, said Karl Birkeland, director of the National Avalanche Center in Bozeman, Mont. Early season snow followed by cold temperatures this season led to dangerous avalanche conditions, Birkeland said. “This tends to form loose, sugary snow that becomes a poor base for subsequent snowfall. So, when it snows on that loose base, we can get big and dangerous avalanches,” he said. Rapid changes in weather, such as storms, can contribute to avalanches, said Spencer Logan, a forecaster with the Colorado center. Avalanches often occur in fairly quick succession. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center reports about 70% of fatal avalanche accidents happen

within four days of the previous accidents. Colorado regularly leads the nation in avalanche deaths with about six per year. Other states that are most prone to deadly avalanches are Alaska, Washington, Utah and Montana. In a typical year, 27 people die in avalanches in the U.S., but the number has grown since the 1970s, when fewer than a dozen people typically died. At least 34 people have died in avalanches in four of the past eight winters. Kenny Kramer, director of the Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle, attributes the increase to the growth in backcountry travel over two decades. More powerful snowmobiles and lighter backcountry skis, snowboards, and snowshoes make it easier for the adventurous to travel deep into avalanche terrain.

Five snowmobilers were killed in a huge avalanche in the western Canadian province of British Columbia, the provincial coroner’s service said Saturday. Barb McLintock of the B.C. Coroners Service said the avalanche took place Friday in an area where several groups were snowmobiling, the Associated Press reported. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating the accident. The police sent a helicopter to the site after they were alerted by two GPS beacons, which are carried by backcountry trekkers for emergencies. Two searchand-rescue technicians in the area reached the scene quickly, The Province newspaper reported. “They quickly determined there were several persons that were buried,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, the newspaper reported. “Unfortunately, five snowmobilers are deceased as a result of the avalanche. Their remains have been recovered.” The avalanche occurred in the Renshaw area east of McBride, which is about 120 miles southeast of Prince George. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said three groups of snowmobilers were in the area at the time. Karl Klassen of Avalanche Canada said the “very large, significant” avalanche appeared to be human-triggered, AP reported. He did not elaborate. “There are layers of concern in the snowpack in many parts of this region (and others) and a fairly significant weather event added rain and snow to the snowpack over the last few days followed by clearing and cooling,” he said in a statement. Klaasen said there is a heightened risk as a result of the recent heavy snow and rainfall, the CBC reported.

parents say. A United Nations Peacekeeper who had his legs blown off needed transport, and Ward simply picked him up and carried him. He told his father it was surprising to feel how light a man is when he has no legs. By contrast, Ward doesn’t speak of his time in Afghanistan — not even to his parents. From military documents, they learned that their son, who was a machine gunner on patrols, had trained more than 1,500 Afghan soldiers. Shocked by the lack of infrastructure, he created a literacy program and a bank for the Afghan trainees. Ward brought his work ethic back to Oregon. He was the top cadet in his police training class, and won awards for marksmanship and understanding defensive tactics.

His résumé impressed Grasty, the top county official. When the previous sheriff resigned, Ward was appointed to take his place. A year to the day after he took his oath as sheriff, the occupation began. Harney County is a massive place, the size of Massachusetts and dotted with blink-and-you-miss-them places like Wagontire, Ore., with a population of two. Ward’s peace efforts ultimately ended in failure. On Tuesday night, militia leaders left the wildlife refuge to attend a meeting in another town. Their convoy was heading into a trap. Federal agents and state police had set up roadblocks and spike strips along the militants’ route. They were being watched from above by an FBI plane. Police pulled over the convoy,

with militia leader Ammon Bundy among them. Occupants of one vehicle were arrested without incident. But an FBI video shows an SUV being driven by LaVoy Finicum, 56, speeding toward the roadblock. Finicum nearly runs over a federal agent and crashes into a snowbank. He hops out of the car and, as police holler for him to surrender, he reaches for the loaded 9mm semiautomatic pistol in his jacket pocket. In seconds, the officers fire, and Finicum dies in the snow. Ward’s mother recalls that her son came to see her right after the shooting, the first time she had seen him in more than a week. Ward sat on the couch, wearing a defeated look. “Mom, you know I don’t like to lose,” he told her.

Jim Ward said his son wanted to focus on a mantra he has always preached: “Do the right thing. Then suffer the consequences.”

Donald Trump skipped Thursday night’s Fox News debate in Des Moines, a result of his ongoing feud with the network and Megyn Kelly. Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski predicted that not only would Fox not pull in 25 million viewers as it did at its first debate that featured Trump, but that ratings might drop down to 1 million or 2 million. The network announced Friday that 12.5 million viewers tuned in, making it the second-most viewed program in the network’s history (behind the August debate).

“Two Corinthians walk into a bar …” Sounds like the start of a joke? It was, and it wasn’t. It was Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’ way of ribbing Republican rival Donald Trump, who referred to the Bible verse, traditionally known as 2 Corinthians, during a speech at Liberty University earlier this month. It’s been a hallmark of Cruz’ campaign, using humor to make himself more likable and credible, said Mark Katz, a speechwriter for former president Bill Clinton as well as humorist, author and political consultant. “The one who is most studied at reading and rereading the humor handbook is Ted Cruz,” Katz said. “He knows he has a likability problem, and he knows that adding some humor can fill that gap.” So when former Florida governor Jeb Bush, during a Republican debate in September, said “Sorry, Mom,” after admitting he smoked marijuana, the quip earned him goodwill, if not votes. “Jeb is halfway there to being funny. He is bemused and frustrated and has less and less to lose,” Katz said. “I wouldn’t say he’s funny, but he’s the funniest Bush I’ve ever seen.” Some presidents have had the comedic touch. Theodore and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are often cited as great jokesters. Calvin Coolidge was known for his dry wit, while Ronald Reagan had a flair for self-deprecation. “I will not make age an issue in

EMMETSBURG , IOWA Ted Cruz is looking to top Donald Trump in Iowa with the help of voters who have fueled many a Republican victory in the state: evangelicals and religious conservatives. “I think God’s hand and God’s blessing has been on this country since its very first day,” Cruz told Iowa voters gathered Friday at a community college library in Emmetsburg. Kenneth Anderson, 61, a bus driver who asked Cruz the question about the role of God, said he agrees with the senator that “this country was founded on Christian principles” and needs to recover them to face its modern problems. “That’s why we have been blessed,” Anderson said. “If we don’t get back to it, we will suffer more.”

“You don’t need to run a mass media campaign to do well with evangelicals.” Chris Budzisz, professor, Loras College

Long involved in Iowa politics, religious groups have played major roles in Republican caucuses for decades, particularly since 1988, when they propelled evangelist Pat Robertson to a surprise second-place finish. George W. Bush made evangelicals a major part of his winning coalition in 2000. Religious voters also helped drive Rick Santorum’s caucus win in 2012 and Mike Huckabee’s victory four years before that. Cruz has many endorsements from members of Iowa’s religious communities, notably that of Bob Vander Plaats, president of The Family Leader, a social conservative group. “Christian conservatives have deep roots in Iowa and the Plains states generally,” said Chris Budzisz, political science professor at Loras College in Dubuque. The religious numbers in Iowa are huge for Republicans. According to entrance polls conducted before the 2012 caucuses, 57% of GOP voters identified themselves as evangelicals or born-again Christians. That number was 60% in 2008.

The festivities, this year called Creatum, run until Feb. 9. custody a day after fellow escapee, Bac Duong, 43, surrendered to a civilian on a Santa Ana street. Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens told reporters that a San Francisco police officer, who was on an unrelated medical call, was approached Saturday morning by a woman who pointed out

the van, which had been widely described by local media. Hutchens said the woman, who is likely to get a share of a $200,000 reward for the inmates’ capture, told the officer it “looks like the van I’ve been seeing on the news.” — Doug Stanglin

Four remaining armed militia members continued their occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge Saturday, one day after a federal judge denied bail to ringleader Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan and three co-defendants. The holdouts at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near the town of Burns posted videos Saturday where one of them told the camera, “We’re not dead yet,” according to the Associated Press. The standoff began Jan. 2. The Oregonian identified those remaining at the refuge as David Fry, 27, of Blanchester, Ohio; Sean Anderson, 47, his wife, Sandy, 48; and Jeff Banta, 46, of Elko, Nev. Ammon Bundy 40, of Emmett, Idaho, argued during a federal hearing in Portland, Ore. on Friday that he should be allowed to post bail and go free because the protest was not violent and there was never an armed standoff, according to media reports of the court session. But Judge Stacie Beckerman said the protest was not peaceful. — Gregg Zoroya

USA TODAY reporter Kim Hjelmgaard followed migrants last year as they made the arduous 1,500mile journey from Greece to Germany. Four months later, he met again with one family after they settled in Austria. Here is his account of their reunion.

just banned asylum seekers from a swimming pool because women complained they were being sexually harassed. Or that allegations of sexual attacks by refugees surfacing in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Finland were fueling a Europe-wide backlash against people like him. At Dornbirn’s train station and town square, small groups of cold migrants from a nearby camp run by Austria stood out from the weekend shoppers, cafe-goers and people in skiwear. More than a few times, I saw a clear look of annoyance on passersby. Mohamad did not seem to notice. The idea that Syrians and other Middle Easterners in Europe may have acted improperly did weigh on Mohamad, especially after the New Year’s Eve sexual assaults on numerous women in Cologne, Germany, plus the Nov. 13 terror attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead. One of the first things he said after greeting me with “I missed you so much” was he feared Europeans would think all Syrians were capable of such behavior.

DORNBIRN, AUSTRIA

I arrived at the Helani family residence at the edge of the Eastern Alps — 6 miles from the Swiss border and 2,300 miles from what’s left of their home in Syria — during an agonizing rite of passage. Mohamad Helani, 12, was fending off a wedgie from his friend Sasha Griesser. “He is fun, we play catch, hide then seek, bike a little, but not much. I am the winner of most of the wrestling contests,” said Sasha, 13, who speaks a slightly softer form of Arnold Schwarzenegger English. The pair met after the Helani family’s journey from Damascus, Syria, to Europe, which took them through more than a dozen countries and caused brushes with death, sickness and despair — but also gratefulness, acceptance and moments of joy. The journey is still unfolding. I last saw Mohamad four months ago in Presevo, Serbia. He was traveling north on the socalled migrants’ trail through the Western Balkans, along with his father, Jehad; mother, Reem; and Essam, his 8-year-old brother. Our paths collided late one night in a run-down hotel in an Albanian-speaking part of southern Serbia. Mohamad was the only one in his family who spoke English. He was calmly defusing an argument with the hotel owner about the cost of the room. The next day, Mohamad told me how he wanted to be a pilot. He also confessed that math was not his best subject. After we parted ways, he kept in touch via WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger about the family’s attempts to find the most promising place to apply for asylum. Germany and Sweden already were filling up. They’d heard stories of ill treatment in Scandinavia. They decided on Austria. “Austria is good. The people here and in Europe are so kind. They like us here,” he said.

SUBSIDIES AND SUSPICIONS

As Mohamad spoke, 6 to 8 inches of snow accumulated outside the three-room apartment in Dornbirn where the Austrian government lets the Helanis stay rent-free. The family relies on donations and gets a government stipend of $785 a month. The decor is 1970s beige-brown. Mohamad and Essam share a bunk bed in a room off the kitchen. I didn’t tell Mohamad that I read a story on my train ride here about a small German town that

The Helanis moved three months ago to Dornbirn, Austria’s 10thlargest city with a population of 46,000, sandwiched between Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland in the Rhine Valley. Three weeks ago, they got an apartment. Mohamad appears to be thriving here. He speaks English as well as Arabic. His German is coming along. Nearly every day someone from the local refugee camp phones him to be a go-between. A man from Iraq must go to the police station, can he communicate that? A Somali needs to find a doctor, can he help? As we were drinking tea with his mother and father, Mohamad got a phone call. “Auntie, what exactly is the problem?” he said in English before speaking to the woman for 15 minutes. After he hung up, I asked why he called her “auntie.” None of us can say her name, he explained. Around midmorning, Sabrina Watzenegger — a friend the family had met at a local playground — stopped by with her daughter, Larena, 4. Mohamad said Watzenegger has been a big help. She was going to take them ice skating the next day. “This family is my family,” she told me. After lunch, we all had a snowball fight. The Helanis insisted I borrow a snowsuit. The horror of Syria is never far away. Mohamad’s father took out his phone and showed images of where his father’s house once stood — now a pile of bombed-out rubble — in Douma, a Damascus suburb that is a stronghold for rebel groups fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Douma and other Syrian towns are still besieged and people are starving, the United Nations said.

Helani stopped showing photos to send a text message to his sister trapped in Douma. Husain Huda Mohammed Kaher, 36, has three children, the youngest age 5. He said his sister often would not answer for three days. That was sometimes a sign that food was scarce, or it simply meant her Internet was down. He always feared the worst. An hour later, a message came through.

The horror of Syria is never far away. He shows a photo of a small bowl of rice that constitutes a daily meal for six people. “I am trying to stay alive and praying that the war will end soon,” Kaher wrote back. He said his sister weighed about 170 pounds before the civil war but is now down to just 88. He showed me two more photos she had sent: a small bowl of rice that he said constituted a daily meal for six people. The other was the shell of a Russian bomb that Kaher’s family had converted into a makeshift heater. CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’

Young Mohamad has formed his own ideas about why his home country’s nearly 5-year-old civil war, which has killed several hundred thousand people, rages on. “Syria is at the center of everything,” he said. “From there, you can easily go into Russia, you can easily go into Iraq, you can easily get to Africa, wherever you want. Before the war, it was Syria that was making all the food for Syria, but also for all these other places.” Mohamad also thinks about his future and has dreams of going West. “I would like to see California and Hollywood,” he said. “Rihanna, she is often singing about California.” Later, I decided we should go out for dinner. I was buying. When Mohamad immediately suggested McDonald’s, I objected, thinking we should go somewhere more memorable. But when the Helanis all appeared to brighten at the prospect of the Golden Arches, I went along. It was about 8:30 p.m. As we set off on foot through snow-filled streets, I assumed it would be a short walk into the town’s center. It turned out to be a 45-minute hike. Every few minutes, a snowplow thundered past. By now, the snow was falling thick and fast as if we were inside a shaken snow globe. I found it increasingly difficult to discern the road ahead. The Helanis did not appear bothered by this at all.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE FACEBOOK ACTS ON GUNS uIn a nutshell: Facebook is cracking down on private gun sales, writes our Jessica Guynn. The Menlo Park, Calif., company said late Friday it will ban users from coordinating private sales of firearms on the social network and on mobile app Instagram. uThe lowdown: The ban does not apply to licensed gun dealers for purchases completed off Facebook. President Obama and state attorneys general have increased pressure on Facebook to tighten restrictions on firearms because of the proliferation of posts that offer guns for sale, often without background checks. uThe upshot: Facebook and Instagram users will no longer be able to offer or coordinate the private sale of firearms, gun parts and ammunition, the company said. That brings firearms in line with Facebook’s ban on the private sales of marijuana, pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs.

WORST JANUARY MARKET PERFORMANCES Dow

74%

Notwithstanding the Dow’s nearly 400-point rally Friday, Wall Street is more than happy to bid good riddance to a dismal January and spin the dice on things getting better in February and beyond. The first month of the new year was far from a happy one for investors. Doom and gloom prevailed, with major stock indexes like the Dow Jones industrial average, off 5.5% this month, and Standard & Poor’s 500, down 5.1%, posting their biggest January losses since the financial crisis in 2009. It would have been worse had the broad U.S. market not surged 2.5% on the final day of trading because of an interestrate cut in Japan and strong earnings in the U.S. By now, the litany of fears that spooked investors and sparked selling are well-known: plunging oil prices; slowing growth in once-booming China; angst surrounding the number of coming interest-rate hikes this year from the Federal Reserve at a time when the global economy is wobbly and investor confidence shaken. History says the January dive could bode poorly for stocks for the rest of the year. The January Barometer — a phrase coined by The Stock Trader’s Almanac, which states that “as the S&P 500 goes in January, so goes the year” — has a strong accuracy rate of more than 75%. Also worth noting: February has a history of “flat” performance for the blue-chip stocks in the Dow, according to Bespoke Investment Group. In the past 100 years the Dow has risen just 0.1% on average in February,

As oil prices sink, airline profits are soaring Record-busting 2015 gave industry liftoff for a ‘cash windfall’ Charisse Jones USA TODAY

It’s official. The plunge in fuel prices helped make 2015 the most profitable year for the U.S. airline industry, at least since deregulation in 1978. Southwest, which capped off the year with a fourth-quarter profit of $536 million, says 2015 was its best year for earnings ever, due to full flights, more seats and cheap fuel. Delta reported a full-year profit of $4.5 billion, also linked to the lower price of oil. And cheaper crude helped United post an $823 million profit in the fourth quarter. Even before airlines posted their end-of-year results, 2015 was a record-buster, with carriers

cumulatively posting nearly $17.9 billion in profit, after taxes, in the first nine months. With fuel typically consuming roughly 1⁄3 of an airline’s total

revenue, there is a strong connection between sinking fuel prices and the industry’s rising profits, though other factors, including the billions of dollars the industry

reaps in fees and greater discipline in matching seats to passenger demand, also factor in. It was record-high oil prices, which peaked at $145.31 on July

3, 2008, that helped spark the rise of checked bag fees and other, extra charges, as the industry tried to stay afloat. Those fees remain. But cheaper fuel “in the intermediate term ... is providing a nearterm profit and cash windfall for the carriers,” Jim Corridore, an S&P Capital IQ equity analyst, writes in a report on the airline industry. Crude oil reached $102.99 per barrel, on average, in the April quarter of 2014 but has been dropping fairly steadily since, says Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service. It is averaging $31.63 per barrel so far this quarter and in January dipped below $27. Consequently, the price of jet fuel has been sliding — down to 95 cents a gallon on average this month in the New York Harbor oil hub — and is on track to have its cheapest quarter since the last three months of 2003, Kloza says.

PERSONAL FINANCE Peter Dunn Special for USA TODAY

he following is not breaking news: You will have financial emergencies. They will be big. They will be small. And the small ones can create big ones ... if you haven’t mastered the art of financial triage. Fewer than 38% of Americans have at least $1,000 in savings. Allow this statistic to paint a single picture — at least 62% of Americans are susceptible to major damage when a financial emergency arises. We shall call this the “big problem causes a bigger problem” statistic. The problem is twofold. First is our general lack of margin and our lack of understanding of margin. Margin is the difference between what we’re paid and what we spend. We can create margin by reducing our spending or increasing our income. More on that in a moment. But if a person doesn’t have $1,000 to his/her name, it generally means they never had margin. If that’s the case, a good month is used to exhale, not prepare. When we live paycheck to paycheck and we’re always holding our figurative breath, a good month (higher margin) often doesn’t translate into measured results. The stress that accompanies a low-margin environment begs for stress relief, thus we use the margin to blow off steam. If we know financial emergencies are going to happen, without exception, we should have a plan for them. That’s our second problem. We don’t.

If they could, they may not be in the conundrum they find themselves in. And summoning additional income from the galaxy isn’t exactly common sorcery. DEATH SPIRAL OF DEBT

There are other reasons to cut and run than just losses Arielle O’Shea NerdWallet

We closed out a rocky month for the stock market, which opened 2016 with its worst-ever start to a year. Because of that, you might see some scary numbers when you check your portfolio. But it doesn’t mean you should react. Experts’ advice to long-term investors remains the same: Turn off the news and stick with your plan. However, don’t interpret that as a recommendation to never change your holdings. Here are signs that it might be time to sell.

the Russell 3000 index, for example, and take note of any outperformance of 5% or more. Then research the fund’s holdings on its website, Jacobs says. “This should include information such as top 10 holdings and allocations to different industries or countries, which may be enough to get comfortable. If you want to see the entire breakdown of holdings for a fund, you may have to review the fund’s official disclosure documents, which should also be on its website.” Look for investments or activity that isn’t in the fund’s stated investment strategy, or that you aren’t comfortable with, like illiquid holdings or currency speculation.

IT’S EXHIBITING OUTSIZE PERFORMANCE

This might sound counterintuitive — after all, performance equals return. But outsize performance is another matter: If a fund did significantly better than its peers, you want to find out why, says Paul Jacobs, chief investment officer of Palisades Hudson Financial Group. “For example, a fund could be borrowing money to boost returns or making investments you weren’t aware of,” he explains. Dramatic shortterm gains could quickly turn into a crash-and-burn scenario. Compare your funds to the appropriate benchmarks, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 or

WHAT’S A REASONABLE MUTUAL FUND EXPENSE RATIO? To evaluate the fees charged by your funds, compare them to the average expense ratio for the fund category: uEquity mutual funds: 0.70% uBond mutual funds: 0.57% uTarget date funds: 0.57% uIndex funds: 0.11% SOURCE BASED ON 2014 DATA FROM THE INVESTMENT COMPANY INSTITUTE

IT’S SHOWING SIGNS OF “STYLE DRIFT”

Actively managed funds typically carry higher expense ratios than those that are passively managed; investors are paying for a professional to pull the levers. But as a manager’s style gradually changes, a fund can experience “style drift,” Jacobs says. This can cause a fund to essentially track an index, such as the S&P 500 — while still charging a premium. “Over the long term, these ‘closet’ index funds tend to underperform their benchmark because of the management fees,” Jacobs says. “By monitoring a fund’s holdings periodically, you should be able to tell if the fund’s strategy is remaining consistent, or if there are shifts happening that you disagree with.” IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO REBALANCE

GETTY IMAGES/ ISTOCKPHOTO

Rebalancing returns your portfolio to its target asset allocation. Some investors rebalance on a regular cadence. Others do it when their allocation shifts by a certain amount — for instance, when stocks do well and their returns take up a greater share of your portfolio. A portfolio made up of 60% stocks and 40% bonds could quickly become a 70%-30% split instead. When you rebalance, you sell winning investments — in this case, mutual funds — and use the funds to buy more shares of funds that haven’t performed as well.

THERE’S A LESS EXPENSIVE — YET COMPARABLE — OPTION

It’s worth regularly checking whether there are funds similar to the ones you already own, but with lower fees. Within a brokerage account or IRA, you have access to a large selection of funds. Index funds and ETFs are increasingly competing on fees, which drives costs down. “If two investors have half a million dollars in something that is virtually identical in terms of investment philosophy and positions, but one is an index fund and tracks the market and the other is an actively managed fund that has similar performance, the difference (in what you’d pay in fees) could be 75 basis points,” says Forrest Baumhover, a financial planner and founder of Westchase Financial Planning. That amounts to almost $4,000 a year. YOUR RISK TOLERANCE HAS CHANGED

It bears repeating: A stock market fluctuation isn’t a reason to change your portfolio. But if you’re feeling less able to ride out those fluctuations — whether the investments you currently hold keep you up at night or whether your goals have changed — it might be time to switch to funds more in line with your current risk tolerance and goals. “Determine how much risk you need to take to meet your goals,” Baumhover says. “There’s no reason to be going out there on a more aggressive scale if you don’t have to.” Arielle O’Shea is a staff writer at NerdWallet, a personal finance website.

Extra incentive KANSAS 90, KENTUCKY 84, OT

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) HEADS TO THE BASKET FOR TWO OF HIS CAREER- AND GAME-HIGH 33 POINTS in the Jayhawks’ 90-84 overtime victory over Kentucky on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Selden sparks KU in battle of hoops royalty By Gary Bedore gbedore@jlworld.com

Wayne Selden Jr.’s grandfather, who introduced the Kansas University junior guard to the sport of basketball when he was 5, hadn’t seen Wayne play a game for the Jayhawks ... until Saturday night, that is. “It was big incentive for me to play well tonight. I knew I was going to because he was here. That’s my best friend growing up. We’re really, really close,” Selden said after scoring a career-

high 33 points while playing 44 minutes in KU’s 90-84 overtime victory over Kentucky in Allen Fieldhouse. “He was a referee, and I always went to basketball games with him. He’s the reason I’m here today,” added Selden, whose vicious drive down the lane and dunk with 3:10 left in OT put KU ahead to stay. Selden figured he owed it to his grandpa, Anthony Pitts Sr., to play well, considering the lengths it took Pitts get to the Big 12/SEC Challenge game.

A native of Boston who doesn’t like to fly, Pitts convinced a buddy to hop in the car with him at 7 p.m. Thursday to make the long drive to Lawrence. The two arrived at 9 p.m. Friday, well in advance of Saturday’s 6 p.m. tipoff. “He told me today Wayne better play well. He drove a long way to watch this,” KU coach Bill Self said. Selden, who like his teammates hadn’t played particularly well the past five league games (in which KU won just two), had a heart-

to-heart talk with Pitts before Saturday’s contest. “Right when I came down, I had a talk with him. It kind of helped his motivation. He felt so good me being here. He felt comfortable,” Pitts said. “I told him, ‘Have confidence. I know what you can do. Play like you played in high school and middle school and dominate. Right now you are settling. You shouldn’t settle. You should play hard and go to the basket.’ He went to the basket tonight, then he settled for

Calipari relishes return, despite loss By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Saturday night, following his team’s 90-84 overtime loss to Kansas University during his first crack as a head coach inside Allen Fieldhouse, Kentucky coach John Calipari opened by dropping phrases like, “I’m sick to my stomach,” and “I’m still hacked off that we lost,” and then shared a story about a pregame conversation that came eerily close to coming true. “It was funny,” Calipari began. “I talked to a friend of mine, who’s a big Kansas fan, and he says, ‘I wish you well, and I hope you lose by one.’ And I said, ‘I hope we win on a half-court bank shot by one.’ And that thing

almost went in. I know he was up there saying, ‘Oh my gosh. It almost happened.” That thing, of course, was Kansas guard Frank Mason’s half-court heave at the end of regulation that hit off the back iron and nearly ended the game. Did Calipari think the shot was going it? “I did,” he said. “I looked and said, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’” Calipari and Kansas coach Bill Self said that given all of the hype, excitement, intensity and effort that accompanied Saturday’s game, to end it that way would have been criminal. KU (17-4) outscored UK (16-5) 14-8 in the extra five KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) FLASHES A WIDE SMILE as the Jayhawks begin to close the Please see WILDCATS, page 4C gap during the second half.

three points. It (strong driving) opened it up.” Roxbury, Mass., native Selden hit a huge three from the corner in regulation that erased a 74-72 deficit with 49 seconds left. However, Jamal Murray hit a short shot in the lane and Perry Ellis one of two free throws, sending the game to overtime at 76. Selden took off down the lane and rifled home a slam dunk, busting a 78-78 tie in the extra session. It wound

Jayhawks resort to ‘junk’ defense In the area of coaching defense, Bill Self takes pride in the shiny staples in his toolbox. Motivational tools, instructive tools, video tools, all employed to tweak his helping man-to-man defense in just the right way for that night’s opponent. And then there is the roll of duct tape hidden under a pile in the corner of the toolbox. He doesn’t even like to look at it very often for fear he might surrender and use it when the tried-and-true methods fail. It’s known as the triangleand-two, one of the most common “junk” defenses employed by coaches looking to change the flavor of a game. Self used it with great success late in games vs.

Miami Herald

Who believes LeBron James? Anybody? Show of hands, please. Who believes he had zero to do with the Cleveland Cavaliers firing coach David Blatt last week despite a conference-leading 30-11 record. Who believes his denial of this week’s report that James also lobbied to get Heat coach Erik Spoelstra replaced during his Miami years. Who believes that LeBron is unfairly “misconstrued” (his word) as a power-hungry, coach-killing control freak? Truth is not always black or white, no. There can be nuance. Shades of gray. The problem with LeBron playing a falsely accused victim here is that his entire public life and actions have been about power and control. That is the only him we know. LeBron James is 31 now, and for half of his life, since he was 16 and a high school wunderkind in Akron, Ohio, he has been rising to power, to being the biggest thing in the NBA — rivaled only by Michael Jordan himself in the history of his sport. ESPN used to televise LeBron’s prep games, which were moved to a larger arena to accommodate ticket demand. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, trumpeted by the headline, THE CHOSEN ONE, at an age when most boys aren’t even shaving yet. He liked that glorious nickname, evidently, judging by the tattoo in large block letters you now see across his upper back. CHOSEN 1, it reads. It might not even be his most audacious nickname, or favorite. KING JAMES he rather likes, too. Who can forget the Nike ad in which LeBron is luxuriating on a gold-gilded, red velvet throne guarded by three lions? He came into the NBA drenched in entitlement, always the biggest thing on his team, always bigger than whoever his head coach happened to be. That finally changed in Miami, when LeBron learned he wasn’t bigger than Pat Riley, who would not betray Spoelstra to placate LeBron, and who would not bend organizational rules by allowing LeBron’s entourage greater access. That power struggle is a big part of why LeBron went back to Cleveland after four years in Miami — a principled but Pyrrhic victory for Riley. James on Wednesday addressed his coach-killer reputation by saying, “I think it does suck that people want to throw my name in the dirt. I’ve never, in my time since I picked up a basketball, undermined a coach.” I guess the word “undermined” is open to interpretation. LeBron is used to getting his way, put it that way. Last season, his first back in Cleveland and the first for the new coach Blatt, LeBron suddenly changed his position and role in the offense. Reporters asked if he’d consulted Blatt for approval. “I don’t have to consult him,” answered LeBron. “I’m at the point of my career where I don’t have to ask.” Brian Windhorst, LeBron’s childhood friend-turned-NBA basketball writer for ESPN, couldn’t even deny the obvious. “Yes, LeBron has undermined coaches before,” Windhorst said on air this week. “That’s absolutely a fact. That’s a fair statement.”

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GOLFER GARY WOODLAND hits to the green on the par-5 sixth hole of the South Course during the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday in San Diego. Woodland fired a third-round 73 and was one stroke off the lead.

Woodland one back at Farmers Insurance San Diego — K.J. Choi one-putted his last six holes Saturday to salvage an even-par 72 and a share of the lead with Scott Brown going into a final round at the Farmers Insurance Open that seems to have everyone nervous. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland, tied with Choi going into the third round, birdied his last hole for a 73 to join Jimmy Walker at one shot behind. Woodland birdied two of his last four holes. The biggest threat might be a forecast of high wind and big rain, and tee times were moved up as early as possible to try to avoid it. Inside the ropes, the final round figured to be wide-open, with 16 players separated by three shots. Choi was headed the wrong direction until he made a pair of birdies, saved par on three straight holes and then hit wedge to three feet on the par-5 18th for one last birdie that allowed him to join Brown at 9-under 207. Brown, whose lone PGA Tour victory was nearly three years ago in Puerto Rico, would not seem to be a candidate to thrive on the South Course at Torrey Pines, the longest on the PGA Tour and a U.S. Open site. But he managed to keep it in play, which is key no matter how far anyone hits it. He had a 70 and goes into today with a great chance to win and earn the Augusta native his first trip to the Masters. Walker, already a winner on two other California courses, was the anomaly. He couldn’t seem to keep it in play off the tee by hitting only three fairways and still managed to gouge enough shots out of the rough and hole enough putts for a 68 that put him one shot behind. Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler each missed the cut, though Torrey Pines still has a local favorite to cheer. That would be Michael Kim, the Cal grad who went to Torrey Pines High School and grew up watching Mickelson and Tiger Woods win here. Kim had a 70 and was among four players at 7-under 209. Another shot back was a group that included Dustin Johnson, who didn’t make a birdie until the 13th hole and still managed to limit the damage to a 74.

clear if Manziel has yet been questioned. Police didn’t say whether the woman was hurt. An ambulance was called, but she was not taken to a hospital. The police report said the woman was uncooperative with officers, who were unable to locate a crime scene. The woman raised concerns about her ex-boyfriend’s well-being. Police tried calling Manziel’s cell phone and searching for him before it determined he was safe. Fort Worth police are working with Dallas police to determine if a crime occurred. The Browns had no immediate comment Saturday. Beyond the legal matter, Manziel could face discipline from the league. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email the league is “aware and looking into it.”

TENNIS

Kerber stuns Serena Williams Melbourne, Australia — Angelique Kerber upset Serena Williams, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, to win the Australian Open title on Saturday, ending the six-time champion’s unbeaten streak in finals here and winning a major title for the first time. Williams was an overwhelming favorite at Melbourne Park, where she had won all six previous times she’d reached the final, and was trying to equal Steffi Graf’s Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam singles titles. For the second time in as many majors, though, she fell short. Williams won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles last year before losing to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals. She was so close to a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015, but now has no chance to push for that honor in 2016 after losing the first major of the year. The 34-year-old Williams hadn’t lost a set in the first six rounds at Melbourne Park until dropping the first against No. 7-seeded Kerber, who was playing in her first major final.

CAPITAL CITY CLASSIC

LHS girls stop Topeka Seaman for third By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Topeka — Close games are nothing new for Lawrence High’s girls basketball team. In the past two weeks, the Lions have played four games decided by four points or less. When the Lions watched their 20-point lead in the second quarter dwindle to two points with four minutes left against Topeka Seaman on Saturday, there was no panic. Instead, the Lions tightened up on defense and sunk a big shot and free throws for a 47-36 victory, earning third place in the Capital City Classic at Seaman. Nobody was more calm and confident than LHS junior guard Olivia Lemus in the final minutes. Up by three points with just more than two minutes left, she drained a three-pointer from the right corner on a pass from junior Skylar Drum. A few seconds later, Lemus made a steal in the backcourt and was fouled, knocking down two free throws and turning a three-point lead into a 42-34 advantage in less than 10 seconds.

LAWRENCE HIGH FRESHMAN CHISOM AJEKWU, LEFT, RIPS THE BALL away from Topeka Seaman senior Jaylynn Evans-Patterson during the third-place game of the Capital City Classic. The Lions outlasted the Vikings, 47-36, on Saturday in Topeka. “We just are in the mindset now that close games are ours,” Lemus said. “We’re going to take it home.” In the second quarter, it was the Lions at their best. They opened with a 13-0 run over the first four minutes, scoring on their first four possessions. Freshman 6-foot-3 center Chisom Ajekwu controlled the paint and

scored five points in the stretch, matching up against Seaman’s 6-4 senior center Jaylynn Evans-Patterson. “(Ajekwu) did that against the biggest girl we’ve played all year, and probably as talented as any big girl we’ve played all year,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said. “That was very good. Chisom has been working hard, com-

ing along. She still, I don’t think, realizes how good she can be, but I think she’s starting to understand.” Ajekwu, who looks more confident during each game, completed a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. She made her first three shots, calling for the ball in the low post. Along with her improvement

KU tennis tops Purdue Fayetteville, Ark. — Kansas University’s women’s tennis remained undefeated with a 4-1 victory over 45th-ranked Purdue on Saturday. Anastasiya Rychagova, Smith Hinton and Maria Jose Cardona logged singles victories for the Jayhawks, and KU also won the doubles point, with Cardona teaming with Summer Collins and Hinton teaming with Rychagova for wins. The Jayhawks improved to 4-0. “Today was a great team win,” KU coach Todd Chapman said. “The girls did a tremendous job of bouncing back from a physical match against Arkansas yesterday. My coaching staff, Caroline (Lilley) and Jacob (Mishkin), were fantastic with the team today, and I could not be more proud of the

fight we played with on the courts.” The Jayhawks also defeated Arkansas, 4-1, on Friday. “Some of our players may not have played their best tennis, but they found a way to compete and help the team pick up the win,” Chapman said. “Maria (Jose Cardona) is down a set and 3-0 and completely stepped up like the senior she is and came back and won to clinch the match. We are excited about coming here and getting two top-45 wins. We will enjoy it on the ride back to Lawrence and then our focus and attention will shift to next weekend and our matches at home against North Texas and Colorado.” KU will host North Texas on Saturday.

on the court, she’s most proud of her growth as a teammate. “I used to be more quiet. Instead of being loud on the bench, I needed to be loud on the court, too,” said Ajekwu, an alltournament selection. “I think I’ve improved way better with that on the court.” After taking a 29-13 lead into halftime, the Lions (6-7) did a complete 180 and looked timid on offense. Simple passes to teammates turned into turnovers, and shots wouldn’t fall. They only scored two points in the third quarter — when sophomore guard Talima Harjo found Ajekwu inside for a layup. Meanwhile, the Vikings (2-11) went on a 10-0 run over the first seven minutes of the third quarter. EvansPatterson scored a teamhigh 13 points with shots in the paint. Things nearly went from bad to worse for the Lions when Ajekwu fouled out with 51⁄2 minutes remaining, leaving the Lions without their main rim protector. But sophomore guard E’lease Stafford

and freshman forward Sammy Williams filled in defensively. Stafford, who hit six free throws in the fourth quarter, grabbed four key rebounds in the last six minutes and blocked a shot in the paint. Williams added a rebound and denied passes in the post. “E’lease, I felt like, really took charge defensively as, like, the captain of the team,” Dickson said. “These games come down to, a lot of times, the mentally toughest team.

Texas Tech freshman guard Japreece Dean led all scorers with 21 points. “Obviously, Japreece Dean really controlled the game,” Schneider said. “She is having a heck of a year, and I hope she will get strong consideration as one of the better freshmen in the league.” Dean connected on 11 of 12 free throws and also pulled down eight rebounds. I’ve known (Dean) for a long, long time,” Schneider said. “I’ve watched her play a bunch of games. She is a heck of a player and has a really bright future. I think she is really dangerous on ball screens because she can split you, and if she has a floater she can shoot the three. We have one player on our team that we thought could slow her down a little bit, and she was in foul trouble after that. I think we are a little short in regards to having the personnel that can slow her down.” The Jayhawks will host Iowa State at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

minutes, and, if nothing else, that gave Calipari a little more time to soak up his return to a place for which he has great fondness. “I love the place,” he said. “I love the campus. If you’re a college student and you’re in the Midwest — really anywhere — this is a college campus, a college life, a student life. And the pride they take in this basketball program … Bill’s taken it to another level, but it’s always been here.” Said Kentucky big man Alex Poythress: “Oh, it was crazy. Loudest atmosphere I’ve ever been in.” Calipari was happy to answer questions about KU’s triangle-and-two defense frustrating his offense and find explanations for why his young Wildcats don’t quite know how to win games like this yet. But he spent just as much time talking about the similarities to between the two programs in a historical sense and clearly seemed thrilled to have been a part of a game like this, even if it was a loss. There were half a dozen different reasons why Saturday’s marquee showdown was less than stellar. KU missed free throws at an alarming rate. Kentucky turned it over at key times, unforced errors that cost them dearly. Both teams featured players who were ice cold and others who were red hot. But none of that kept Calipari from calling Saturday’s clash anything other than “a heck of a college game.” And the former KU graduate assistant who kick-started his career in this very venue more than 30 years ago said the basketball environment around Lawrence, inside Allen Fieldhouse and across the KU campus was part of what makes college basketball so great. “The programs are so similar,” Calipari said of KU and UK. “At Kentucky, if we beat the (Los Angeles) Lakers at the buzzer, from half court, banked it, they would never (rush the court). These fans are the same. “They treated all of our fans (with respect). I mean, you had some people, ‘You bum,’ you know. ‘We’re glad you’re here, but you’re gonna lose,’ you know. But they were respectful. It’s what this is about. It’s just a great environment to coach in, to play in, and Kentucky is very similar.”

up being the game winner, as the Jayhawks did not trail again, outscoring UK, 14-8, in an OT in which Selden also hit two free throws at 2:11 (to up the lead to 83-78) and one of two at :39 to give KU an 86-79 advantage. “It was an unbelievable dunk. I kind of jumped out of my seat with that dunk,” grandfather Pitts said. “When he got that head of steam, I knew he was going to dunk it. That dunk was great, (but) I thought that three prior to it was more important at the time.” Of the dunk, KU coach Self said: “I thought there was a chance to do it. It was a real aggressive play. Skal (Labissiere) would have probably blocked the shot if he didn’t go strong.” That’s what Selden was thinking as he put home the dunk that helped KU improve to 17-4 and dropped Kentucky to 165. “I knew I had to (dunk).

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) CELEBRATES next to Kansas coach Bill Self. I went in a few times, and it didn’t work out. They were punching at shots. They kept blocking shots (six to KU’s one),” Selden said. “I knew I had to do something different. I wasn’t getting there and not getting fouls called. I knew I had to take off.” The dunk certainly

inspired Selden’s teammates. “It was a big momentum swing,” sophomore guard Devonté Graham said. “He was going in a couple times and getting it blocked. He decided to go and turn it over on somebody’s head that time. It brought energy in

the building and helped us out.” Selden, who hit 12 of 20 shots (3-for-5 from three and 6-for-8 from the line on a night KU hit 30 free throws and bricked 17) pretty much saved the day, scoring 10 points in a 14-7 run that turned a 57-49 deficit

Kentucky’s five: Jamal Mashburn, Tony Delk, John Wall, Dan Issel and Anthony Davis. “I think I could win a couple games with that roster,” Self said on Saturday morning’s GameDay program, which attracted about 5,000 fans into Allen Fieldhouse.

“That would be a hard game. I think we could win a couple of games (with that lineup).” Self and Ellis received a thunderous ovation from those who attended the 10-11 a.m. show. “It’s different from conference. We’re excited,” Ellis said of the KU-UK matchup. “We’re a team that can be great. If we can put things together, we’ll be good.” Asked about what he learned from KU coach Larry Brown, Self said: “I stole from all my mentors, whether it be coach Brown, coach Sutton (Eddie, Oklahoma State) or coach Hamilton (Leonard, OSU). They are maybe the best the game has seen in their respective traits, what each did best. I believe I learned more in nine months with coach Brown.”

QB storyline to dominate strong speculation that Manning will retire after the big game and the notsurprising revelation that Newton believes racism is a major factor driving criticism about the way he plays the game. That sad reality is hard to dispute. We live in a country of more than 320 million people, a segment of which will always give in to baser instincts and now has a largely anonymous mixed blessing called social media to express them. Combine that with the old-school former players and middle-aged media commentators who

There will be no storyline unturned during the weeklong buildup to the enticing Super Bowl 50 matchup between the Panthers and Broncos, but there will be one that dominates all others. It is, of course, the matchup between 39-yearold quarterback Peyton Manning and soon-to-benamed NFL Most Valuable Player Cam Newton — the once and future kings of the NFL. The drumbeat has already begun with the

bemoan the on-field histrionics of today’s players and you get the silly debate over Newton’s flamboyant behavior, which juxtapositions predictably with Manning’s businesslike on-field persona. Manning has been one of the game’s beloved figures for much of the past two decades, because of his talent and his omnipresence as a lovable commercial pitchman. It’s possible that Manning will be passing the baton to Newton on both of those fronts Sunday. Cam appears to be the choice of a new generation.

n Monday, two Lawrence scribes will be honored with the Langston Hughes Creative Writing Award, given annually by the Raven Book Store and the Lawrence Arts Center to Douglas County residents who continue in the celebrated writer’s tradition of portraying life experience through poetry and prose. Feb. 1 just happens to also be Hughes’ birthday, and, as in past ceremonies, the honorees will mark the occasion with a slice of birthday cake.

The two first-time entrants are both relative newcomers to the Lawrence literary scene, having grown up on the East Coast and only recently relocated to the Kansas town where Hughes spent several years of his childhood.

SHELF LIFE

Offbeat Westerns for ‘Hateful Eight’ fans

nfluenced by “The Thing,” “Clue,” and Sergio Corbucci’s nihilistic spaghetti Western “The Great Silence,” Quentin Tarantino’s new film “The Hateful Eight” takes place in post-Civil War Wyoming, where eight sadistic strangers seek shelter at Minnie’s Haberdashery during a whiteout blizzard. Filmed in Ultra Panavision 70mm, “The Hateful Eight” was first shown as a limited roadshow engagement at 100 theaters prior to its widespread digital release on Dec. 30, 2015. This exclusive two-week presentation featured an overture, an intermission and an extended cut of the film shown in a much wider and vibrant 2.76:1 aspect ratio. I had the fortuitous opportunity to see the roadshow version twice, and it was an experience that captured the magic of going to the cinema from my childhood. If you’re like me and love to get lost in a book after viewing an impactful film, then you’ve come to the right place for some liter-

ary companion pieces to “The Hateful Eight.”

‘The Six-Gun Tarot’ by R. S. Belcher “The Six-Gun Tarot” is a fantastical, genre-bending work of fiction that is equal parts “A Game of Thrones” and Lovecraftian horror (with the visual steampunk aesthetics of Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes”). Author R. S. Belcher provides a refreshing re-imagination of the Western genre that is surprisingly thought provoking as it follows a diverse group of mysterious ragtag individuals who must band together to stop a force of evil that threatens to destroy the world. Tarantino excels at blending genres and relies on influences from a variety of sources to create an original film. For “The Hateful Eight,” what starts out as a snowy, cinematic Western turns into a claustrophobic, Agatha Christieinspired whodunit with Samuel L. Jackson as a gunslinging detective

Poirot. It defies conventional expectations and has an unpredictable ending as conflicts simmer to a boil and blood is spilled. If you like your Westerns with a bit of flair and excellent character development, like “The Hateful Eight,” then “The Six-Gun Tarot” is a good place to begin.

‘The Sisters Brothers’ by Patrick deWitt Set during the California Gold Rush, this literary Western follows the misadventures of the infamous Sisters Brothers — a couple of sharpshooters hired to

Russell is especially drawn to dogs — or, in this case, canines in general — because of the “unique relationship” they share with humans. We welcome them into our homes and love them as we would a family member, but sometimes, in our urge to humanize dogs, we can forget their inherent animalness — “creating them to be what we want them to be,” says Russell, a doctoral student in creative writing at KU. “A dog can pick up on really, really subtle human behavior, and so that’s what I keep exploring in my fiction,” she says. “Even though I love dogs, I try not to be so sentimental in my writing.” “Marley and Me” it is not. “Loup,” inspired by the reallife saga of a Siberian town terrorized by a “super pack” of 400 wolves, tells the tale of a woman who falls in love with a wolf and is then slowly eaten — limb by limb, day by day — by her pet-turned-lover. It’s an exploration of what it means to give consent (particularly when that impetus falls on only one person in the relationship) and “the cycle of abuse” that Russell observed in her small town. Isolation, she says, often keeps the abused complacent in their harmful relationships. “Pup” tackles that same theme. In a bizarre twist, its protagonist gives birth to a dog. The father, an abusive

man who didn’t want the baby in the first place, tries to pet his “daughter” in the park one day. The mother attempts to “save” him, but even she can’t ignore her offspring’s “raised hackles, her curled lips, her white teeth ready to snap.” The story is fantastical, but rooted in real life. In her late 20s, Russell, very much aware of her high school and college classmates’ impending marriages and pregnancies while stuck in her own unfulfilling relationship, decided to adopt a puppy. “At first I thought maybe I’ll write this really positive essay about adopting a dog and how great it was and how much fun that experience was for me,” she says. “But that’s not really the type of writer I am.”

tell you the truth,” Tai Amri Spann-Wilson says of his Langston Hughes award for poetry. Writing has always been a “passion” of his, having emulated the celebrated author since a formative class on the Harlem Renaissance in college, but not a skill he ever expected to make money with. Ironically, Spann-Wilson felt as if he had given up on his writing career by the time he relocated from Oakland, Calif., to Lawrence in June 2014. He had wanted to simplify his life and shed the financial stress of living in the Bay Area. Entering his manuscript in the contest at the encouragement of his partner, Shannon Ryan, felt “almost like a last-ditch effort to see if anybody was interested,” Spann-Wilson says. Clearly, somebody — or really, the somebodies of the Langston Hughes judging panel — was. The win has “reinvigorated” Spann-Wilson’s passion, and the preschool teacher and youth minister is now actively searching for an editor and, ultimately, a publisher for his Langston Hughes-winning manuscript, “Sweet Black Boy.” Like his other writings, the poems forcefully yet sensitively deconstruct issues of race, class, gender and sexuality, drawing from his roots in Philadelphia and New Jersey while incorporating his spiritual interests. “One of the major tenets of Quakerism is equality, and so in my Quaker community that I grew up in, I was

ematic universe. Along their journey they leave a trail of corpses and broken hearts behind as they come to a much deeper understanding of their humanity or lack thereof. Similar to “The Hateful Eight,” “The Sisters Brothers” relies on deadpan dialogue riddled with subtle nuances that become increasingly important as the story progresses. With each reading, you gain a new perspective on character motivations or intentions, which can also be said for repeated viewings of Tarantino films.

“that’s how I got through high school,” Spann-Wilson says. “Writing and writing and writing.” Even now, in a town that he loves for its rich abolitionist history and his beloved circle of “activists, anarchists, preachers, pastors and mystics,” Spann-Wilson can’t help but feel like a bit of a misfit. He’s always been that way, and doubts it’ll ever change. Still, he says he’s embraced his new hometown and, with his recent award marking a sort of unofficial debut into the Lawrence literary scene, hopes to build stronger relationships with his fellow writers. “I need critique of my work, suggestions… I need to I believed that what I had to share it with people,” he says of “Sweet Black Boy.” say was just as important as With the birth of his first less than two weeks what anyone else had to say, child away, Spann-Wilson says and vice versa.

Express your gratitude; send a vet a valentine Dear Annie: Thank you once again for providing me the opportunity to reach out and thank our citizens for the care and support they provide to our veterans. Each year, Americans participate in the National Salute to Veteran Patients by visiting and volunteering at the Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities and by sending letters of thanks or Valentine’s Day cards to those who have protected our nation. This year’s National Salute is Feb. 14-20, and we again encourage communities across the country to take part in this effort to honor our hospitalized veterans. Last year, 333,871 Valentine’s Day cards were received at VA medical centers, along with 16,279 visits to an estimated 99,238

‘Grease’ gets back to its stage roots Fox invites viewers to return to Rydell High. As if we ever left. “Grease: Live” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14) features emerging musical talents, including Julianne Hough (“Rock of Ages”) as Sandy; Aaron Tveit (“Les Miserables”) as bad boy Danny Zuko; and Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical”) as bad girl Rizzo. Best known for the 1978 screen adaptation starring John Travolta and Olivia NewtonJohn, the original stage version of “Grease” played in Chicago and OffBroadway in 1971 and opened on Broadway on June 7, 1972, scant weeks before the venerable musical “Hair” ended its 1,750-performance run on July 1. Broadway musical tastes aren’t usually terribly good indicators of the cultural zeitgeist, but it was clear back then that audiences were beginning to put the contentious 1960s behind them to embrace the “new” decade of the 1970s through the prism of a romanticized version of the 1950s. Goodbye, “Aquarius.” Hello, Sandra Dee! And nostalgia for that poodleskirted, Hula-Hooping decade has been with us ever since. l In other musical news, ABC’s “Galavant” (7 p.m., TVPG) concludes its short second season. l Danny Trejo (“Machete”) hosts “Snaketacular” (9 p.m., Discovery, TV-14), an hourlong look at slithering, creepy creatures that have been getting bad press ever since the Garden of Eden. l A “Vice Special Report: Fighting ISIS” (9 p.m., HBO) presents footage from Iraq’s frontlines, separating that government’s beleaguered troops and tribal militias from ISIS forces trying to spread their fanatical vision of a pure Islamic caliphate throughout the Middle East. We’re also shown an interview with a captured insurgent, who stridently asserts the group’s desire to spread ISIS control throughout the world and who claims he would have no hesitation about decapitating his interviewer if given the chance. In a rather sobering interview, Ryan Crocker, a career ambassador and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, admits that the disintegration of Iraq and surrounding areas surpasses his “worst nightmares.” He agrees that prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion, Iraq had not been a center or source of terrorism and that the toppling of Saddam Hussein created a perfect vacuum for sectarian violence and the rise of extremist groups precisely like ISIS.

GRINDING A STUMP MAY TAKE A WHILE, but it’s still a faster and more effective removal method than digging, chopping, burning or using chemicals.

STUMPED BY A STUMP? Using a grinder can make removal easier, faster

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith grinding and cleanup services to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. For the do-it-yourselfers, check with local equipment rental companies for rates and machine specifications. Renting a machine may honestly be about the same price as paying someone to do grind the stump for you, but again, shop around. The size of the stump

might dictate the decision here too, as rental companies may only have smaller grinders. A small grinder can certainly be effective on a large stump, but might take a little finagling. When you get the stump grinder home, the most important thing to remember is patience. You are speeding the process from many years to a few hours, but trying to cut that down to a few minutes can be disastrous. Most stump grinders have a vertical blade attached to an arm that swings side-to-side and also moves up and down. The operator controls the movement of the arm, moving the blade back and forth across the stump, then lowering it to grind it away a little bit at a time. The best operators are patient, starting on one side and taking little “bites” from

the stump as they work back and forth across it. Setting the blade too deep or trying to take off too much of the stump at one time will bog down the machine and can send large chunks of wood flying (especially if the stump is partially rotten). Setting up a couple of pieces of plywood or another sort of barrier around where you are working is a good idea as stump grinders often turn up rocks and other debris from the soil surrounding the stump. Be prepared for a pile of wood chips and soil once the stump is ground. The pile will settle over time as the wood breaks down, but typically you will want to remove some of it. Mix it into landscape or garden beds or add it to the compost pile. Most stumps can be ground far faster than any other

method could remove them. Chopping and digging is long, hard work. Chemical methods require drilling into the stump and waiting months or years before you remember you still have to chop out what is left with an ax or shovel. Burning also involves drilling or chopping (to get the fire down into the stump) and usually takes repeated attempts before you still have to chop out what is left. Hooking a chain around the stump and attempting to pull it out is often unsuccessful, could damage the vehicle, and leaves you with a big hole in the ground if it does work.

ired of tripping on that old stump in the yard or dreading taking out a dying tree because of the unsightly base it will leave behind? Removal might be easier than you think: Use a stump grinder. Whether you hire a professional or do it yourself, grinding is far faster and more effective than digging, chopping or burning a stump or attempting to rot a stump out with chemicals. Even the biggest and burliest stumps can be ground in a few short hours. If you decide to hire someone to do the job, look for an arborist or landscape maintenance company that offers stump grinding services. Knowing the approximate size of the stump and whether there are any accessibility limitations will help you get an accurate quote. Prices may also vary depending on the size and type of machine they use, so shop around. Ask about depth of
