or the third year in a row, Kansas City, Mo., is hosting the Folk Alliance International Cultural Crossroads conference through Saturday at the The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center hotel, 1 E. Pershing Road. More than 1,100 musicians are performing for the
public and for music industry folks looking to book talent. In addition to the official showcases that feature 56 performances on nine stages each night, people can sign up for Music Camp and one of 30 music workshops daily, including everything from learning ukulele to writing songs. The public
evening showcases are sold out, but you can walk in and sign up for the Music Camp. For ticket availability and information, go to folk.org. The convention will return to Kansas City in 2017. Joni Fornelli, of Lawrence, attended a Celtic fiddle workshop Thursday at Music Camp and attended late-night private
showcases Wednesday. “It’s like being in a music playground for three days,” Fornelli said. At night, three floors of hotel rooms are dedicated to showcases. “I just love being able to explore different musicians until 2 or 3 in the morning. It’s like a music salad.” — Mike Yoder
Wichita — People trying to register to vote at Kansas motor vehicle offices are being forced to provide documentary proof of citizenship in violation of federal law, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday. The complaint, which includes a plaintiff from Lawrence, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., is mounting a new legal challenge based on a provision in the National Voter Registration Act that requires states to provide voter registration in conjunction with driver’s license applications at state division of motor vehicle offices. Kansas has been at the forefront of efforts for more stringent registration laws ranging from proof-of-citizenship to requiring certain types of ID, and the state has been embroiled in several legal fights over the issues.

Family: Cannabis oil is sick child’s last hope By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw
A Lawrence family is begrudgingly planning a move to Colorado in hopes of finding a medical treatment for its youngest member. Valkyrie and Mitch Schmidt believe cannabis oil may be the last hope for their daughter, Emelyse. At age 3, Emelyse has medical records longer and more complicated than most people will see in their entire lifetimes. Along with intrauterine growth
restriction, a rare condition in which a baby doesn’t grow to normal weight during pregnancy, Emelyse suffered a severe brain bleed in the womb. She was born through an emergency cesarean section at 26 weeks, weighing just 14.8 ounces, Valkyrie said. Emelyse suffered two more brain bleeds within the first couple of days of her life. When those finally clotted a month and a half later, her cerebrospinal fluid wasn’t able to drain as it should. Please see CHILD, page 8A

Wage debate is about more than janitors
B
rooms and buses soon may get interesting at Lawrence City Hall. We’ve already told you about a $450,000 idea to create a new city staff of janitors. If you think that’s expensive, though, just wait until we get around to the discussion about bus drivers. Commissioners are having a discussion about whether city employees — or employees that the city contracts with — should be required to make a “living wage.” Right now, the discussion is centered on the folks who do janitorial work for city buildings. Those janitors are employed by a private Topeka-based company that has a contract with City Hall. The janitors don’t make a living wage, at least not one that meets the city’s criteria. The city has determined that a “living wage” is $12.60, which is equal to 130 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of three in Douglas County. Please see WAGE, page 2A

Topeka (ap) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will push for another boost in funding for the state’s two mental hospitals and could propose pay raises of up to 10 percent for some of their workers, a top social services official said. Legislators from both parties on Thursday said they welcomed the news that the Republican governor is working on proposals to help the Larned and Osawatomie hospitals fill staff vacancies. The federal government in December decertified the Osawatomie hospital, about 45 miles southwest of Kansas City, costing the state up to $1 million a month in federal funds. It and the Larned hospital in western Kansas had more than 350 open positions at the end of January, a combined vacancy rate of
for Aging and Disability Services, said the governor and his budget staff expect to have a proposal within a few weeks.
Topeka (ap) — Kansas legislators have agreed on a sweeping measure that would overhaul the juvenile justice system by offering community-based services to juvenile offenders. The Senate Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice voted Wednesday to close group homes for juvenile offenders in July 2018. The bill also proposes to create a team to review cases with the input of families and educators. Republican committee Chairman Greg Smith,

comment on the lawsuit. The registration act, commonly known as the “Motor-Voter Law,” is a federal law that aims to increase voter participation. In addition to requiring that registration be offered at the Division of Motor Vehicle offices, it also provides mechanisms such as an online registration form people can print out and mail and voter registration at social service agencies, Ho said. Ralph Ortiz, a Wichita resident and veteran whose voter registration was purged for not providing the documents within 90 days, is among the six U.S. citizens who brought the lawsuit, which also seeks class-action status. “I joined the military to help protect American freedoms, yet now I’m being denied the most fundamental right in our democracy,” Ortiz said in a news release. Since Kansas implemented the proof-of-citizenship requirements in January 2013, the voter registrations of more than
35,000 people have been put on hold or purged from the system. Another plaintiff, Steven Wayne Fish, is from Lawrence. According to the lawsuit, Fish, 36, was born on a military base in Illinois that has since closed. His family moved to Kansas when he was a child. In 2014 he tried to register to vote and brought his driver’s license. After Fish completed the paperwork he was asked for proof of citizenship but did not have it. He has been unable to locate his birth certificate. The state placed him on the suspense list for voter registration. Ho said the case is similar to another federal lawsuit pending in Kansas. That case was filed in October by former Democratic Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence and several other attorneys. It challenges the constitutionality of the proof-of-citizenship law and seeks to block the secretary of state’s office from purging the list of tens of thousands of registrations
that have been placed “in suspense” for failing to show citizenship proof. Ho said he expects the two cases to move in tandem through the federal court, even though they focus on different aspects of the same law. The ACLU’s lawsuit filed Thursday contends federal law prohibits states from requiring additional information when people register to vote in conjunction with getting their driver’s licenses. “So we think if we can address this problem, we can fix the crisis in voter registration that the state has been experiencing,” Ho said, noting that about 45 percent of Kansas voters register to vote at motor vehicle offices. Last month, a state judge ruled Kobach overstepped his legal authority when he created a two-tiered system banning federal form registrants from voting in state and local races.

There are more than 100 bus drivers. If it costs $450,000 to add five janitors to the city’s staff, how much do you suppose it would cost to add 100-plus transit workers? If commissioners add the janitors, we’ll find out. Priest said his union will begin pushing hard to make transit workers full-fledged city employees rather than contract employees. “Ultimately, what everybody wants here is to be a city employee,” Priest said. “I guarantee you that if they end up doing that with custodians, we’ll push more and more to become city employees. We’ll push to do away with the privatization of the transit system.” There are lots of other
workers employed by the city who don’t make the $12.60 an hour. Many are seasonal employees in parks and recreation. What criteria will the City Commission use to determine who among their staff is entitled to a “living wage” and who is not? None of these issues are new. But the political environment changed significantly during the last City Commission election. It is not hard to envision that this group may stick with this issue longer than past commissions did. It is also not hard to envision the debate becoming much bigger than a handful of janitors.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has championed laws that require documents such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers as a way to prevent noncitizens from voting, particularly those living in the U.S. illegally. Critics say incidents of noncitizens registering to vote are extremely rare and argue such Republican-backed laws hurt voter registration efforts and disenfranchise voters who tend to vote Democrat, including minorities and college students, who may not readily have the documentation. “These shameful actions have made Kansas an epicenter of voter suppression,” said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project. Kobach did not immediately return phone and email messages seeking

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate has approved a bill designed to shorten the Legislature’s annual sessions. Its vote Thursday was 25-11 on a measure that would limit sessions to 100 days in odd-numbered years and to 60 days in even-numbered years. The measure goes next to the House. The proposal came after the 2015 annual session lasted a record 114 days.

Heavy winds kicking up dust around McCollum Hall site
W
hat do you get when you cross 50 mph Midwestern gusts and a pile of rubble from a 220,000-square-foot building in the process of being crushed into gravel on top of a hill? To quote that famous Kansas song, “Dust in the Wind” — and lots of it. The kind of dust that creates a visible haze and leaves grit in your eyes and mouth was flying Thursday afternoon around the McCollum Hall demolition site at 1800 Engel Road, the southernmost tract on the crest of Daisy Hill. Ellsworth Hall and its parking lot, immediately downwind from McCollum, bore the brunt of the cloud. The same high winds are expected all day today, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka. The Weather Service issued a “red flag warning” — with gusts up to 50 mph possible — for our area on Thursday. Are construction crews doing what they can to mitigate the dust? “As a general rule, contractors take care to water construction sites or take other preventative measures when it’s windy,” KU spokesman Joe Monaco said. “When we know that strong winds are forecast, we’ll often call the contractors — or visit with them on site — to remind them to water the sites.” Monaco said KU’s Office of Design and Construction Management did remind contractors to water on Thursday, and also that the McCollum contractor put a dust collection device on their

rock crusher, which is hoped to help. I also checked with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to find out what state regulations there may be regarding construction dust but unfortunately
didn’t get through to the person with answers by deadline. Around campus, a backhoe tearing down the latest Stouffer Place apartment building was creating a dust cloud, too, but nothing the size of McCollum’s. At the Earth Energy and Environment Center (EEEC) construction site, 15th Street and Naismith Drive, tarps were covering large swaths of the exposed dirt and gravel on the site. Though a few flapping tarps had escaped their tie-downs, most seemed to be staying put and keeping dust at bay. On Daisy Hill, there was a hose pumping water from a hydrant onto the
McCollum demolition site. Although, to be honest, the hose appeared to be fighting a losing battle. Hopefully the dust will settle (bad pun intended) when the wind calms down in a couple of days. I talked to nearly 10 Ellsworth residents who told me they had not been bothered by dust since McCollum was imploded Nov. 25 — although Thursday afternoon, coming and going in their neighborhood definitely wasn’t pleasant. — This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears regularly on LJWorld.com.

After about 20 people spoke Thursday against an idea to close the intersection of Kansas Highway 10 and East 1200 Road/Kasold Drive, a Kansas Department of Transportation official decided to hold a public forum on the issue before there’s a final decision. The purpose of Thursday’s meeting of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Board was to hear a presentation from KDOT about the closure of the intersection
and make a recommendation to the city and county commissions. But, after more than an hour of public comment, mostly from residents of southwest Lawrence talking about the inconvenience of eliminating the access point, it was decided a longer forum was needed to discuss alternatives. “I think we need to stop here; without all the impacts being known, why are we moving forward with anything here?” asked Roger Anderson, who lives off East 1200 Road. “You’ve heard a number Please see KASOLD, page 4A

of things this is affecting. I just think we need to take a deep breath, and let’s try to work out a solution that’s positive for everybody. To close the intersection in the next month or two or three, I don’t believe is in anybody’s best interest.” Most in attendance Thursday knew the intersection could eventually be closed. However, they thought the closure would happen years — not months — in the future. KDOT is currently engineering a plan to expand the western leg of K-10 from two to four lanes. There’s no funding for the construction of the project, and it likely wouldn’t start before 2020, KDOT officials have said. The closure of the Kasold Drive/East 1200 Road intersection was expected to happen at that time. But recently, KDOT, citing increased traffic volume and safety concerns, said it wanted to close the intersection by November, when the east leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway is opened. “We’re here to seek the support from the city of Lawrence and Douglas County in efforts to close this intersection prior to the east leg opening,” said Ryan Barrett, a project manager with KDOT. “The concern, obviously, is we have a huge safety concern with doing nothing at this particular location.” Barrett said K-10 would see 18,300 average daily trips after the east leg of the SLT opens, up from the current 7,500 daily trips. If the Kasold Drive/ East 1200 Road intersection were to stay open, it’s expected that it would take an average of two minutes of wait time to make a left turn there. Crashes at the intersection are expected to
.
increase from 1.25 crashes per year to 3.1, most of which would likely be severe collisions, Barrett said. Of the dozens of people who packed inside a room in City Hall on Thursday, no one disagreed with the safety concerns. But many — if not all of them — thought there should be an alternative to closing the intersection. Residents both south and north of the highway said that without the access point to K-10, they would be forced to use either U.S. 59 to the east or the Corps of Engineers road over Clinton Dam to the west. There was also concern for school buses using either U.S. 59 or the dam road, and Frank Male, with Lawrence Landscape, said large trucks from his business would have to use one or the other, too. “Closing this, it’s the easiest thing for KDOT to do, it’s the cheapest thing for KDOT to do, but it’s not the right thing,” said Tony Morino, who lives north of the intersection. Residents voiced safety concerns with merging from a county road onto U.S. 59. Sue Gehrt, operations manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake, said the increased traffic on the dam road, which is maintained by the Corps of Engineers, would cause strain. “I’m concerned because I think I’m going to see increased maintenance because I will have increased traffic,” Gehrt said. “We have enough money to do routine work, to keep it striped, but it’s hard for me to get money for road work.” Some in attendance Thursday spoke in favor of an alternative presented by Barrett to construct right-in, right-out lanes at the intersection. But, Barrett explained, the plan would be costly. It would include constructing concrete barriers and widening the bridge over Yankee
LAWRENCE • STATE Tank Creek to provide adequate space for cars to accelerate to the posted speed limit. He estimated the configuration to cost about $1.6 million. A couple of commenters suggested lowering the speed limit in the area so the stretch of road necessary to accelerate in that type of configuration would be short enough to do so without widening the bridge. Others proposed different ideas altogether, such as installing a stop light or roundabout at the intersection in the time until the K-10 expansion. Those in opposition to the closure created a website, savethekasoldintersection.com, and started an online petition. Barrett said that, though KDOT was willing to hold a public forum, the process would need to happen quickly. “The east leg is scheduled to open in November of this year, and in order to be able to get a project that would solve the safety issue at the intersection we’re talking about, we need to have plans prepared by the end of April,” he said. “There’s a significant amount of effort and time that’s required to be able to get that kind of temporary improvement completed.” A date for a public forum was not set Thursday. The intersection is in the KDOT right-of-way, City Planning Director Scott McCullough explained, and KDOT officials are merely seeking input from the community and governing bodies before deciding on a plan. “The negative vibe I’m sensing ... KDOT isn’t the enemy,” McCullough said. “Our relationship with KDOT is very good, and we have very good products and outcomes with our friends at the state.”

U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, ROklahoma, who spoke to a legislative committee just before the House debate. “The very things that made this country great are being undermined, and all you have to do is look at who’s popular, like in our presidential election,” he said. “Something’s astir, and what’s astir is disgust with the government. And we have to restore the rule of law.” Coburn resigned from the Senate in 2014, four years into his second term, to focus on the campaign for a constitutional convention. So far, five other states — Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Alaska and Tennessee — have passed similar resolutions. The Kansas resolution calls for holding a convention for the limited purposes of proposing amendments that “impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.” On the floor of the House, several conservatives spoke about the mounting federal debt. They also said they believe the federal government, particularly the courts, has

L awrence J ournal -W orld overstepped its bounds, intruding into powers they believe should be reserved for the states. Rep. John Whitmer, R-Wichita, said he supported the resolution because he has lost faith in the federal government. “For me, it’s a very simple process. I don’t trust the feds; I trust the folks,” he said. Rep. Amanda Grosserode, R-Lenexa, was just one conservative to use the word “tyranny” in describing recent federal actions. “I give you the Waters of the USA,” Grosserode said, referring to a recent Environmental Protection Agency action that conservatives argue greatly expanded the reaches of the Clean Water Act into creeks and ponds that had not been regulated before. “To my own family members who are farmers and ranchers, I ask you, is this the law passed by our Congress, or imposed by regulatory law?” Rick Levy, who teaches constitutional law at Kansas University, said it’s understandable why some people think the regulatory power of the federal government has grown in modern times, even though the basic language of the Constitution has not. “In 1789, commerce among the states was pretty limited,” he said, referring to the Commerce Clause as one example. “It took a long time to get from
one state to another. There wasn’t refrigeration. There weren’t trains or planes or buses or anything like that. So the power to regulate commerce among the states is relatively small. “Fast-forward 250 years later,” he said. “People are flying around the country. There’s virtually nothing you buy that’s entirely local. And the national economy is fully integrated, so at that point the power to regulate interstate commerce is much broader, just because there’s a lot more interstate commerce.” Several House members who opposed the resolution pointed to what they saw as potential dangers. Rep. John Carmichael, DWichita, for example, argued that it did not specify which powers of the federal government the sponsors wanted to limit, leaving open the possibility that the convention could recommend ending Social Security, Medicare or the Affordable Care Act. But Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, a lead supporter of the measure, said the convention would only have the power to make recommendations. It would still take action by three-fourths, or 38 states, to ratify them. Final action on the resolution in the House is expected next week.
The Kansas State Department of Education estimates the development of new standards would take two years and cost $9 million. Opponents of the bill complained that the committee approved the measure without hearing from both sides. Scott Rothschild, a spokesman for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said Pesta spoke for more than an hour
Wednesday on what the meeting agenda had said would be an informational briefing on “The History of Education.” Rep. Ron Highland, a Wamego Republican, brought up the bill after Pesta’s presentation. When some committee members complained that opponents weren’t allowed to testify, Highland responded that testimony was provided last year during debate on a similar measure.

REVIVING A KIDS’ CLASSIC Arts Center brings back ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’
A
thoroughly English production is slated to arrive in the Heartland this weekend — hopefully with a bang, if Ric Averill has anything to do with it. “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” the hit musical loosely based on the Ian Fleming novel (yes, he of “James Bond” fame) and, perhaps more closely, the 1968 film of the same name, opens tonight at the Lawrence Arts Center, complete with dastardly villains, oddball humor and its familyfriendly mix of “sweetness and vulgarity.” “This is the American version,” Averill, the Arts Center’s longtime artistic director of performing arts, says of the “tonguein-cheek” production, which tells the story of a widowed, downand-out inventor who builds a flying car to amuse his two young children. Of course, excursions ensue, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (that’s the car’s name) leads the family through a series of fantastical — and at times, harrowing — adventures. Fans of the movie will recognize the familiar score by Academy Award-winning “Mary Poppins” composers Richard and Robert Sherman, performed in the Arts Center’s production by musical director Patricia Ahern and the Free State Liberation Orchestra. The special effects are similarly “old school.” While the flying car doesn’t actually fly — “except in our imaginations,” Averill points out — the Arts Center crew uses green-screen technology to project images of moving landscapes behind the vehicle

that create the illusion of movement. The set, designed and built by Kansas City artist Juniper Tangpuz, is completely made out of cardboard — from the titular car to the haircutting machine to the telephone booth. In the Lawrence Arts Center’s production, as in the movie and Fleming novel, “everything’s larger than life,” Averill says. Those who watched the movie adaptation (co-written by Roald Dahl, which makes perfect sense when you think about it) may recall with horror the thoroughly creepy, long-nosed Child Catcher, who captures and detains children in an underground dungeon below the streets of Vulgaria. He’s still around in the musical version. In “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” the stakes are high — and very real — for the Potts kids, not unlike a “James Bond” novel or the child protagonists of Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach” and “Matilda.” “With Fleming and Dahl, nothing has to be particularly appropriate or whitewashed” for children, Averill says. “It’s downright dusty and gritty and fun and

The antagonists in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” are, in many ways, just as vile as any of the great “Bond” villains — albeit a tad more bumbling and humorous. As Averill puts it, “they’re on a family level of ‘Dr. No.’” Unlike Fleming’s “James Bond” tales, this story does end happily ever after. For Caractacus Potts, the hapless inventor who finds new love after loss, and for his non-traditional family, which includes a zany grandfather, played by Averill, and a lovable dog. In other words, “family is what you make of it,” Averill says. “The family that sings together and dances together and gets silly together, stays together.” — This is an excerpt from Joanna Hlavacek’s Out and About column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Grandma should respect son’s decision on gifts Dear Annie: My ex-son-in-law has temporary custody of my granddaughter, “Cathy,” who is 8. Every time I buy her something, she wants to leave it at my house. I couldn’t understand why so I asked her father. He said it was because Cathy had overheard him talking to his ex (my daughter), fussing that Cathy would lose things they bought her, or she would forget to bring the item back to the parent’s house where it belonged when she stayed overnight with the other parent. I think the problem is that Cathy has her mom and three sets of grandparents who buy her things, and Dad now has a stepdaughter who doesn’t get much (if anything) from her father or grandparents.

An Apatow original on Netflix Love is in the air. At least “Love” is streaming on Netflix. Created, written and produced by Judd Apatow, Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin, “Love” has the Apatow touch, the combination of R-rated language and situations with an awkward, often touching take on romanticism, particularly when it comes to those who believe, or rather fear, that romance, relationships and intimacy have forever passed them by. “Love” unfolds in half-hour dollops after a 60-minute “pilot” setup. “Love” follows Gus (Paul Rust), a wimpy tutor from the Midwest on the set of a TV show. He’s so lacking in backbone that he is brow-beaten by the show’s child star. His girlfriend dumps him because he’s just too nice, or rather “fake nice,” an attitude she considers “worse than mean.” Radio producer and New Jersey native Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) appears to live in a parallel universe. She’s fun, but a little scary, submitting to a boyfriend who is hardly her equal. It takes the series’ first hour to arrange the chance encounter of these two 30-somethings, but it’s well worth the wait. At its best, “Love” unfolds more like an adventure than a traditional “rom-com.” Strange and unexpected things happen, including a visit to a cultlike center for self-improvement and affirmation. At one point, a rather addled Gus achieves a wonderful moment of clarity while throwing his DVD collection out the window of Mickey’s car. Not exactly in his right mind, he suddenly realizes that he’s invested too much time in other people’s notions of life and love and now has to come up with some of his own. I’m not sure if the show’s creators were vying for good reviews when they turned Gus into a slightly deranged critic. But in this case, it worked. Netflix also premieres “Cooked,” a four-part documentary history of man’s relationship with food, from filmmaker Alex Gibney and author and naturalist Michael Pollan.

Court fight is all about raw power
EDITORIALS
Efficiency? A consulting group has come up with some ways for Kansas government to “save” money, but many of them have nothing to do with efficiency.
D
id the state of Kansas get its money’s worth from a $2.6 million “efficiency” study conducted by a private consulting firm? The consultants, Alvarez & Marsal, issued their final report to state legislators earlier this week and most of the top recommendations highlighted in news reports don’t really fit the definition of “efficiency.” There are a couple of OK recommendations, a few that are likely to draw so much opposition they will never be implemented and at least one pretty bad idea. That idea — requiring public school districts across the state to spend down their reserve funds — has drawn the biggest headlines across the state and, by no reasonable definition, qualifies as an “efficiency” move. It’s simply a matter of robbing Peter to pay Paul. The report suggests allowing school districts to maintain reserves of up to 15 percent of their operating budgets, but no more. Local districts argue that they need their reserves to make sure they can continue to operate during difficult financial times. Forcing districts to spend reserves above that 15 percent would provide about $40 million next year and $193 million over five years, the consultants said, but it would be only a short-term gain. Once that money is gone, it’s gone and the state will be faced with yet another budget hole to fill. On the positive side of the report was the suggestion that the state fill vacant auditor and collection officer positions to allow the Department of Revenue to step up collection of unpaid state taxes. That provision has been included in the budget advanced to the governor’s desk and is estimated to result in $321.8 million in additional tax revenue over five years. If those estimates are realized it will benefit the state, but the idea of stepping up collections is something the state should have been able to identify without a $2.6 million consultants’ study. The consultants also suggest the state could generate about $6.1 million this year and $9.6 next year by selling lottery tickets in vending machines. Again, it doesn’t qualify as an efficiency and it raises concerns about the machines attracting under-age buyers. Some of the biggest savings identified in the report involved shifting and reducing health benefit plans for state employees, as well as school district employees across the state. The consultants said the state could save $13.7 million next year and $59.7 million over five years by shifting state employees to lower-cost, highdeductible health insurance plans. The consultants also would put all school employees in the state health plan, saving another $40 million next year and $360 million over five years. Such a move would shift more health expenses onto employees and take away teachers’ ability to negotiate their health plans as part of their employment package, neither of which is likely to be a popular move for state employees who view their health benefits as a way of offsetting substandard state salaries. The point of looking for government “efficiencies” is to try to find less expensive ways to deliver equal or better services. Some of the consultants’ recommendations may do that, but many obviously do not. It’s pretty easy for the state to “save” money by taking it away from school districts and state employees, but that doesn’t really qualify as making government more efficient.

Washington — Let’s understand something about the fight to fill the Supreme Court seat of Antonin “Nino” Scalia. This is about nothing but raw power. Any appeal you hear to high principle is phony — brazenly, embarrassingly so. In year seven of the George W. Bush administration, Sen. Chuck Schumer publicly opposed filling any Supreme Court vacancy until Bush left office. (“Except in extraordinary circumstances.” None such arose. Surprise!) Today he piously denounces Republicans for doing exactly the same for a vacancy created in year eight of Barack Obama.
Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com
“
As I said, this is all about raw power. When the Democrats had it, they used it. The Republicans are today wholly justified in saying they will not allow this outgoing president to overturn the balance of the Supreme Court.”
Republicans, say the Democrats, owe the president deference. Elections have consequences and Obama won re-election in 2012. Yes. And the Republicans won the Senate in 2014 — if anything, a more proximal assertion of popular will. And both have equal standing in appointing a Supreme Court justice. It’s hard to swallow demands for deference from a party that for seven years has cheered Obama’s serial constitutional depredations: His rewriting the immigration laws by executive order (stayed by the courts); his reordering the energy economy by regulation (stayed by the
courts); his enacting the nuclear deal with Iran, the most important treaty of this generation, without the required two-thirds of the Senate (by declaring it an executive agreement). Minority Leader Harry Reid complains about the Senate violating precedent if it refuses a lame-duck nominee. This is rich. It is Reid who just two years ago overthrew all precedent by abolishing the filibuster for most judicial and high executive appointments. In the name of what grand constitutional principle did Reid resort to a parliamentary maneuver so precedentshattering that it was called the nuclear option? None. He did it in order to pack the U. S. Circuit Court for the District of Colombia with liberals who would reliably deflect challenges to Obamacare. On Tuesday, Obama loftily called upon Congress to rise above ideology and partisanship in approving his nominee. When asked how he could square that with his 2006 support of a filibuster to stop the appointment of Samuel Alito, Obama replied with a four-minute word salad signifying nothing. There is no answer. It was situational constitutional principle, i.e., transparent hypocrisy. As I said, this is all about raw power. When the Democrats had it, they used it. The
Republicans are today wholly justified in saying they will not allow this outgoing president to overturn the balance of the Supreme Court. The matter should be decided by the coming election. Does anyone doubt that Democrats would be saying exactly that if the circumstances were reversed? Which makes this Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s moment. He and his cohorts have taken a lot of abuse from “anti-establishment” candidates and media for not using their congressional majorities to repeal Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood, block executive orders, etc. What was the 2014 election about, they say? We won and got nothing. We were lied to and betrayed by a corrupt leadership beholden to the “Washington cartel.” As it happens, under our Madisonian Constitution, the opposition party cannot govern without the acquiescence of the president, which it will not get, or a two-thirds majority of the Congress, which it does not have. But no matter. Things are different now. Appointing a Supreme Court justice is a two-key operation. The president proposes, the Senate disposes. There is no reason McConnell cannot hold the line. And he must. The stakes here
— a radical generation-long reversal of direction of the Supreme Court — are the highest this Senate will ever face. If McConnell succeeds, he will have resoundingly answered the “what did we get for 2014?” question. Imagine if the Senate were now in Democratic hands. What we got in 2014 was the power to hold on to Scalia’s seat and to the court’s conservative majority. But only for now. Blocking an Obama nominee buys just a year. The final outcome depends on November 2016. If the GOP nominates an unelectable or unconservative candidate, a McConnell victory will be nothing more than a stay of execution. In 2012, Scalia averred that he would not retire until there was a more ideologically congenial president in the White House. “I would not like to be replaced,” he explained, “by someone who immediately sets about undoing everything that I’ve tried to do for 25 years.” Scalia never got to choose the timing of his leaving office. Those who value the legacy of those now-30 years will determine whether his last wish will be vindicated. Let McConnell do his thing. Then in November it’s for us to win one for Nino.

Cancer stories To the editor: As I read the article of Bill Snead’s accomplished life, I was reminded of the Bill Snead I am honored to have known. In 2004, my only child was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer and tested positive for the cancer gene BRCA2. She underwent the traditional treatment as well as some cutting-edge treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. During this time, she met and was befriended by a most remarkable woman, Dona Snead, a social worker in the oncology department. In 2006, the Journal-World did a series following cancer survivors’ stories. We met with Bill for photos, a video and some hard discussions about life after cancer. Bill told interesting stories of his career, his travels all over the world, the famous and not-so-famous people he had photographed and the joy his work provided. But his focus at this time was Julie’s story. Her interview appeared Sunday, Jan. 29, 2006, story and photographs by Bill Snead. I’m trying to say he was a very caring, compassionate, personable story teller. As he suffered form his cancer, he took the time to tell the stories of others’ struggle and get the word out, “You are not alone.” He was indeed a warrior in the fight. My daughter lost her battle Oct. 15, 2012. Dona had been with us during the evening. Now both (Bill’s and Julie’s) stories have been told. Rhonda (Self) Young, Lawrence
Just compensation To the editor: It makes one wonder if Kansas will ever do the right thing for Floyd Bledsoe, an innocent man who spent years in prison due to prosecutorial malfeasance and downright corruption. This innocent man couldn’t get a break in life, starting with a family that abandoned him and a judicial system that failed him. As Floyd said, there was no one to listen to him until the Innocence Project came to his aid.
Now the question is: Will the state of Kansas compensate him for an unjust imprisonment? Of course not. After all, this is that conservative beacon that Gov. Brownback created, and a basic tenet of conservatism is to never admit a mistake. And I doubt they know the meaning of compassion. I hope the online Go Fund Me campaign established on Bledsoe’s behalf will finally provide the support he so richly deserves. Anna Slemmer, Lawrence
Defy campus carry To the editor: If you think a Confederate flag is a disruptive influence on school grounds, wrap your head around campus carry. The decision has been made in Topeka to not just allow guns on campus but to find solutions to all the accompanying security problems it creates and pay for them. While I appreciate the fact that Chancellor Gray-Little carries the burden of communication in representing Kansas University with our legislators and the fact that there is a serious divide today between higher education versus perceived constitutional rights, I would like to encourage the chancellor to dare to be a true leader and defy the powers-that-be. I believe that in the interest of all her faculty and students, she has the obligation to say “no” to guns on campus. That would take guts, and that would make headlines that could make a difference. There would be fallout, but it would galvanize this community and other campuses across the state and possibly beyond. There is not one good reason why anyone must bring a gun to class, and there are a multitude of reasons why they should not. Here again, conservative politics bypasses basic logic and threatens the sanctity of good learning environments. Can there be a better reason to draw a line in the sand? I believe the time has come to make our voices and values ring as loudly as the intensity of an exploding firearm and as many times as it takes to be heard in the halls of Topeka. Alan P. Miller, Baldwin City

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for years Feb. 19, 1916: ago “The Kansas IN 1916 river is rising at the rate of two inches an hour, the water has already surrounded the bridge caisson in which the men are at work and is lapping around the edges of the offices and other parts of the bridge yards. As a precaution against loss in the event of a further rise the bridge company fastened all endangered material with cables. People between Lawrence and Topeka have reported that the water has risen several feet and that the channel is partly choked with ice.... All day a large mass of broken ice has been grinding down the river.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

sending it to the GOPdominated House. The measure’s chances of becoming law appear good, given strong support among Republicans for such measures in the past and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s touting of Kansas as a welfare reform model. The bill tightens a lifetime
limit on cash benefits and requires the state to look for winners of lottery jackpots of more than $5,000 among welfare recipients. It also requires the Department for Children and Families to launch an anti-fraud investigation if welfare recipient repeatedly replaces benefit cards.
Child
is lay in her crib or sit up in her high chair for feedings through the gastronomy tube, but she begins to fuss even before the feeding is done. She has no interest in playing, and she’s been very irritable. “Just getting her tonsils out has made her disease progress so rapidly,” Valkyrie said. “It’s just hard to wrap my head around.”
said she continues to see more stories like Emelyse’s emerge. The group hopes to change Kansas laws to allow use of medical cannabis so that patients can have safe access and discuss it with their doctors. “You’re dealing with people who can prove, medically, that they’re out of options,” Sublett said. “They’ve been through everything that regular medicine so far has had to offer them, and they should have a right, along with their health care providers, to make those decisions.” The Schmidts’ case is similar to that of Ryan and Kathy Reed, who moved to Colorado from Baldwin City in 2014 in hopes of helping their son, Otis. According to a JournalWorld story from January 2015, Otis’ condition has improved. Families in these situations are often dubbed “marijuana refugees.” “That’s kind of what we are: refugees having to flee where we’re living just to try and save our baby,” Valkyrie said. Last month, the Kansas Senate stripped from marijuana reform legislation a House-passed proposal to legalize the use of therapeutic hemp oil to treat severe seizures, so that the idea could be studied further by another panel. The action to remove the provision, dubbed “Otis’ Law” by sponsor Rep. John Wilson, D-Lawrence, came after emotional testimony from parents with children who regularly suffer severe seizures. It won’t be easy for the Schmidts to leave town. All of their family and friends live here. “It’s uprooting our entire lives for this, and it’s hard but we’ve gotta do it if there’s a chance to save her,” Valkyrie said. The Schmidts are extremely thankful for the support they’ve received from the Lawrence community, Valkyrie said, and they hope that sharing Emelyse’s story will help others. “It’s not just her story, and it’s not just our story,” Valkyrie said. “There are hundreds, if not thousands, of other families going through the same situation that we are in Kansas.”

This condition, called hydrocephalus, had to be treated with a brain surgery called VP shunting, which then allowed the fluid to drain properly, Valkyrie said. Emelyse spent the first four and a half months of her life in the hospital. Since then, she has been diagnosed with the lung disease bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, and two seizure conditions: epileptic encephalopathy and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, or LGS, a severe form of epilepsy. Last April, Emelyse spent another six weeks at the Kansas University Hospital for a third VP shunt. “She was still fighting it; she was still happy and bouncing and playful,” Valkyrie said. Last month, on Jan. 22, the Schmidts went to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. for a procedure they thought would only require an overnight stay: Emelyse needed her tonsils out. A hyperactive gag reflex was preventing her from eating through her mouth, and she was instead fed through a gastronomy tube. The surgery went well, and there were no complications, Valkyrie said. But as soon as Emelyse was transferred to the regular pediatric unit from pediatric intensive care, her blood oxygen level dropped and doctors had to restart her breathing. After that, Emelyse was having more seizure activity and was almost constantly sleeping. Doctors discovered one of her seizure medications was starting to destroy her pancreas, Valkyrie said. She knows the doctors tried everything they could to help Emelyse, Valkyrie said, but on Feb. 9, they sent the Schmidts home with advice to make her as comfortable as possible. “They sent us home telling us, ‘There’s nothing we’re doing here that you can’t do at home,’” Mitch said. Emelyse’s condition has declined, and Valkyrie said she’s not happy the way she used to be. All she does now

Preparing to move Still, the Schmidts have one last hope. A while back, Emelyse’s primary neurologist said he thought her two seizure conditions made her a good candidate for cannabis oil. The parents thought maybe in a year or two they’d try to “scrounge up” the money they would need to move across the state line. “But it was never really a priority like it is now, because she was doing so much better before,” Valkyrie said. “But now that she’s like this, there’s nothing else that we can do for her, except for this cannabis oil.” The only way they will try the treatment is entirely legally, Valkyrie said, despite offers from equally desperate friends and family members. “If someone was to catch us, I would go to jail and Emelyse would go into (the care of the Kansas Department for Children and Families) and she would die in someone else’s arms. And that thought is terrifying to me,” she said. The Schmidts have shared their story with friends, including Ladybird Diner owner Meg Heriford, who set up a GoFundMe page (gofundme. com/pie-a-month-for-em) to benefit the family. The fundraiser is just more than halfway to its goal of $10,000, at $5,700 as of Thursday evening. Heriford promises a free pie each month for a year to a lucky donor to the cause. The name will be drawn once the goal is reached. The Schmidts hope to move to either Aurora or Colorado Springs. Valkyrie said there are networks of support from other families who have moved to those communities for similar reasons. ‘Marijuana refugees’ Lisa Sublett, founder and president of the patient rights advocacy group Bleeding Kansas,

In a remarkable dispute just two days before a pivotal Republican primary, Pope Francis said Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is un-Christian, prompting Trump to respond that it was “disgraceful” for the pope to question his religion. “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis told reporters Wednesday aboard the papal plane.

Trump threatened to sue Cruz over his Canadian birth and an attack ad.
Trump has mocked Bush for months, calling the former Florida governor a “low-energy” candidate.
The South Carolina senator, who ended his 2016 bid late last year, has continued to criticize Trump. Trump described Graham as a “disgrace” and “nut job.”
Trump said McCain was “not a war hero,” and he prefers “people that weren’t captured.”

WASHINGTON Larger than life, Antonin Scalia leaves in death a legacy that will be fought over for decades to come. During 33 years on the federal bench and 55 years in the law, the leader of the Supreme Court’s conservative wing influenced the way the Constitution and government statutes are interpreted. He wrote the book on evocative, often acerbic legal writing. He transformed the court’s staid oral arguments into verbal combat. He educated and energized a conservative legal movement that seeks to influence the choice of his successor. In each of those areas, the questions that time will tell are whether Scalia’s in-your-face methods ultimately detract from his message and whether his poison pen and tongue — preserved for students and scholars in writ-

Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would fight the order, and Apple has refused to help unlock at least one other locked phone. For tech companies, such battles have often not gone well. In 2007, Yahoo balked at a secret order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court requiring it to turn over customer records to the National Security Agency. The company relented when a judge on the surveillance court threatened to impose a fine of $250,000 a day — and double it every week. A federal appeals court upheld the surveillance court’s order. In 2013, a federal judge held the founder of Lavabit — an email service that had been used by former NSA contractor Edward

Questions swirl around longevity of Scalia legacy Richard Wolf
The U.S. Justice Department’s demand that Apple help it break into a locked iPhone is the latest in a series of legal disputes with tech companies over users’ privacy that have been going on for more than a decade. Nearly all of those contests ended the same way. “Historically, the judiciary has been very deferential to law enforcement,” University of California-Hastings law professor Ahmed Ghappour said. “And history could be very indicative of how this will play out.” The latest episode began this week, when a federal magistrate judge in California ordered Apple

Candidates see dollar signs in AOL email addresses That’s where bulk of fundraising is done Paul Singer USA TODAY
The political world is constantly trying to find cool new ways to use social media platforms such as Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram, but here’s a secret: The thing that is most valuable to the candidates is still your email address, and most valuable of all is an AOL.com email address. The reason is simple: money. Email generates the vast majority
of campaign fundraising, and AOL addresses produce more money than Gmail addresses. A study in January by digital marketing firm Fluent concluded that 4% of subscribers to political email lists had AOL.com email addresses, while 48% of subscribers had Gmail accounts. But those AOL users accounted for 22% of total donations during the study period — November and December 2015 — with an average donation of $159. Gmail users accounted for 13% of donations with an average gift of $31. If you think about it, it makes sense. Older people are more likely to be generous campaign

donors and more likely to have a 20-year-old email account. “Eighty percent of all donations from email are coming from people 50 or older,” said Jordan Cohen, chief marketing officer at Fluent. Vincent Harris, CEO of Harris Media and digital strategist for the recently ended campaign of Sen. Rand Paul, said: “The average donors online to Republicans are normally 55-plus. And what email address does my mom still use to this day? She uses an AOL address.” Harris said he tells the Millennial whizzes on his staff, “Who you are talking to online, who you
are trying to get money from is your grandma. ... Those are the folks who for Republican causes certainly are most likely to give. “If you look at the $3 million we raised for Sen. Ted Cruz’s Senate race in 2012, 70% came from email,” Harris said. What about Millennials, who can be maddeningly slow to respond to emails but text constantly? That is still a challenge for politics. “There are significant problems with unsolicited text,” said Keith Sibson, vice president of Post Up, an email services company. Nobody “wants to be marketed to through text messages.”

FOUNDERS’ KEEPERS
“The Constitution means what the people felt that it meant when they ratified it. ... Once you identify what it meant at the time, that should be the end of the debate.” Scalia’s strikingly simple argument never changed: The Constitution, its amendments and government statutes should be taken at face value. The words should not be reinterpreted. The authors’ intentions should not be overanalyzed. New rights should not be invented. He won some major victories along the way. His majority opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008, which upheld the right to own firearms for self-defense, was based on the Founders’ use of the word “militia” in the Second Amendment to mean most male citizens. Scalia called it “the most complete originalist opinion that I’ve ever written.” It’s an argument he successfully pushed into the center of legal debate, and it won thousands of adherents over the years, said former White House counsel C. Boyden Gray. “It has become more and more the guiding principles for Supreme Court jurisprudence,” Gray said. “That’s a great legacy.” POISON PEN

favorite Supreme Court justices, Scalia singled out Robert Jackson, a self-educated man who never went to law school. “He wrote like an angel,” Scalia said. Some opponents might say Scalia wrote like the devil. His opinions frequently belittled those who disagreed, just as his dissents blasted the majority opinions he felt were misguided. He saved his most blistering comments for compromise-seeking colleagues who found middle grounds he felt did not exist, including Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy. “The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic,” Scalia wrote of Kennedy’s majority opinion in last year’s case declaring a national right to same-sex marriage. Of Chief Justice John Roberts’ decision upholding President Obama’s health care law in 2012, he wrote: “The Court regards its strained statutory interpretation as judicial modesty. It is not. It amounts instead to a vast judicial overreaching.”
But he admitted, “I often ask a question just for the hell of it.” More often, Scalia and his colleagues used oral arguments to seek to influence each other. Scalia began doing that early in his Supreme Court career, because by the time he got to speak during
Lawyers arguing the side he was inclined to favor, on the other hand, often found Scalia eager to bolster their presentation. “I would have thought ...” he would begin, then make a better point than the appellant. “He delighted in arguments,” said Edward Gero, who read, watched and spent one-on-one time with Scalia in preparation to portray him in the play The Originalist. “He had an alacrity in language unlike anyone I’ve ever met.” ONE EYE ON HISTORY
“Why should I participate in the mis-education of the American people?” That was Scalia’s take on allowing cameras into his sacred courtroom. He was convinced that the 15- and 30-second snippets shown on TV would misrepresent the hour-long oral arguments — something like “man bites dog,” he said. Since his days as a founding faculty adviser to the Federalist Society — a conservative legal organization that numbers about 40,000 lawyers, law students and scholars — ScaRON EDMONDS, AP JUST JOUSTING lia saw one of his most “I really do enjoy oral arguJustice Antonin Scalia attends a important roles as a ment ... the intellectual thrust White House ceremony in 2006. teacher. and parry.

Snowden — in contempt for not turning over the electronic key the company used to encrypt users’ communications. Lavabit founder Ladar Levison eventually gave the key to the FBI but did so by printing it out in very small type. Most such disputes have involved federal agents seeking access to troves of information tech companies keep about their users — everything from contents of emails to records that can precisely track the location of someone’s cellphone. The fight with Apple comes with one important difference. Instead of asking the computer maker to turn over information, a federal magistrate ordered the company to create software for the FBI that would bypass some security features on newer versions of the iOS operating system. The order requires Apple to add an electronic signature to the new software, so Farouk’s phone will recognize it. “The fight here is that the software the government wants does not exist. They’re trying to force engineers to write a special version of iOS, then sign it,” said Christopher Soghoian, the American Civil Liberties Union’s principal technologist. He said such an order raises the prospect that the FBI could force makers to push compromised versions of their software directly to users’ phones and computers in a way that would be difficult to detect. Apple has also rebuffed efforts to help agents unlock older versions of the iPhone, using tools it had already created for the job. Last year in Brooklyn, federal prosecutors asked a magistrate to force Apple to unlock a phone running iOS 7, so they could use the phone’s contents in a drug case. The company declined, even though it had “repeatedly assisted law enforcement officers in federal criminal cases by extracting data from passcode-locked iPhones pursuant to court orders,” prosecutors said in a court filing. Apple has argued that complying with the request would be burdensome. A judge has yet to decide whether to force Apple to comply. Justice Department lawyers told a different federal judge in Brooklyn last year that the government has the ability to crack newer versions of the iPhone on its own. “The lack of a passcode is not fatal to the government’s ability to obtain the records,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Koniuszy wrote in a court filing. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent David Bauer testified in September that the government could use a device known as an IP-Box to crack four-digit passcodes. Bauer said the IP-Box is made “by a single individual” in China. “My best description of it, honestly, would be that it’s a hacking tool,” he said.

A judge in Cook County Circuit Court will hear testimony Friday in a lawsuit filed by an Illinois voter who alleges Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz should not be allowed to run for president, according to CNN and WBBM radio. Lawrence Joyce, an Illinois voter who has objected to Cruz’s placement on the Illinois primary ballot next month, will have his case heard in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago. Joyce’s previous objection, made to the state’s Board of Elections, was dismissed on Feb.1. Joyce challenges Cruz’s eligibility to be president in the wake of questions put forth by GOP rival Donald Trump about being born in Canada, according to CNN. Cruz maintains he is a naturalborn citizen since his mother is American-born. TURKEY BOMBS SYRIAN KURDS AFTER ATTACK

Pope suggests contraception can be condoned in Zika crisis Francis says use of artificial birth control is a ‘lesser evil’
John Bacon USA TODAY
An outbreak of the Zika virus sweeping across Latin America and the Caribbean could make use of contraceptives a “lesser evil” for Catholics prohibited by the church from using birth control, Pope Francis said. Health officials link the virus to birth defects. The Roman Catholic Church considers abortion or
the use of contraceptives a sin. The Catholic News Service says the pope, during a news conference aboard his flight from Mexico to Rome late Wednesday, emphasized the difference between the sins. “Abortion is not a lesser evil — it’s a crime ... an absolute evil,” Pope Francis said. “Don’t confuse avoiding pregnancy with abortion.” Francis cited Paul VI’s consent in the early 1960s for women in

STATES LOOK TO MEND GAPS IN TEACHER SCREENING SYSTEMS Officials examine flaws in policies, practices
Steve Reilly USA TODAY
State lawmakers and education officials around the country said this week they plan to address weaknesses in teacher screening policies and practices following an investigation by the USA TODAY NETWORK. The USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found the nation’s database of disciplined teachers, run by the non-profit National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, is missing the names of thousands of educators who have been disciplined by state agencies. The missing names in the NASDTEC Clearinghouse, along
with flaws in information-sharing and background processes in some states, have allowed some teachers to find jobs in one state while they are barred from teaching in another. In North Carolina, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest on Wednesday told the Asheville Citizen-Times he expects teacher screening policy reforms to be put before lawmakers by the time of the state legislature’s “short session,” which starts in April. “This needs to be on the forefront of what we’re doing in the short session, and it should be a fairly easy lift to make that happen,” Forest said. In North Carolina, which scored an “F” in the USA TODAY NETWORK’s state-by-state evaluations of screening practices, lo-
“We possibly need to strengthen our process and we believe we’ve done that.” Paul Shaw, Georgia’s Professional Standards Commission
the then-Belgian Congo to use oral contraceptives when rape was being used as a weapon of war, CNS said. “Avoiding pregnancy is not an absolute evil,” the pontiff said. The pope faced similar questions about contraception during a trip to Africa, where sexually transmitted AIDS remains a major concern. Francis deflected the questioning, listing hunger, lack of drinking water and exploitation among more pressing issues for the continent. After a visit to Asia in January 2015, the pope said Catholics may have a moral responsibility to limit the number of their children and need not reproduce “like rabbits.” But he reaffirmed the church’s ban on artificial means of birth control and said Catholics should practice “responsible parenting.” The World Health Organization recently declared the Zika epidemic a “public health emergency of international concern.” The agency this week asked nations around the world for $56 million to fight Zika through the end of June. Zika is linked to microcephaly, a neonatal malformation in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development. Francis urged researchers “to do their utmost to find vaccines against these mosquitoes that carry this disease,” CNS reported. In Juarez, residents reflected on the pope’s visit and the Zika outbreak. Casilda Vergara, 29, said an exception to the church’s stance on contraception would be a good thing. “I think that (decisions about contraceptive methods) are up to each person,” Vergara said. Sarai Ramirez, 20, saw the pope’s comments as a recommendation, not a mandate. “It’s not really a religious topic for me,” she said, though she said she did think the pope’s advice was “valid on a common-sense level.” “If (contraception) will help women avoid those scary birth defects in areas where the virus is really prevalent right now, then that’s a good thing,” she said.

Missing information in some states have allowed some teachers to find jobs in one state while they are barred from teaching in another.
cal school districts conduct background checks on prospective teachers, rather than the state. A 2010 state education task force recommended 15 separate changes to state teacher screening policies, but it was largely ignored. The North Carolina state Department of Public Instruction has begun internal policy reviews and has started to submit the names of disciplined teachers to the NASDTEC Clearinghouse that were missing, DPI attorney Katie Cornetto told the Citizen-Times. “At this point, there are internal meetings discussing the task force report and the news reports,” Cornetto said. In Georgia, state education officials added about 100 names of disciplined teachers to NASDTEC after their absence was brought to the state’s attention by WXIA. Of those reports, two involved teachers accused of having ongo-
ing physical relationships with students. Another report accused the teacher of calling a student into his classroom to grade papers, then giving him a “lingering kiss on the cheek” and nibbling on his ear. “I am surprised,” Paul Shaw, director of the Ethics division within Georgia’s Professional Standards Commission, told WXIA. “This is the first time it’s been brought to my attention that we possibly need to strengthen our process and we believe we’ve done that. We do take our work seriously.” In Indiana, state education officials told The Indianapolis Star they also reported missing discipline cases to NASDTEC after the newspaper identified unreported cases, and are reviewing records from previous administrations. Indiana state Rep. Bob Behning, chairman of the Indiana House of Representatives’ Committee on Education, told the newspaper he is exploring ways to ensure the state reports full information to NASDTEC. In Tennessee, which also received an “F,” state board of education chairman Fielding Rolston said the board wants to look into problems identified in the report as it undergoes a policies and procedures audit started in October. “We are concerned,” Fielding said to The Tennessean this week. “We need to explore the reasons for the grade and make sure we do whatever we need to do to address any deficiencies at this current time.” Nationally, changes are underway to review the teacher discipline data as well. On Monday, NASDTEC executive director Phillip Rodgers said the organization would direct all 50 states to audit all their previous submissions to the database to ensure they are accurate and complete. An internal review of NASDTEC reporting has also been launched by education officials in Iowa, according to The Des Moines Register. Contributing: Tonya Maxwell of The (Asheville, N.C.)

MONEYLINE TOYOTA RECALLS 2.9 MILLION SUVS OVER SEAT BELTS Toyota said Thursday that it is recalling nearly 2.9 million SUVs, including more than 1.1 million in the U.S., because of seat belts that might fail in a crash. The recall covers RAV4s from the 2005 through 2014 model years; the RAV4 electric vehicle from 2012 through 2014, sold in North America; and the Vanguard, sold in Japan from 2005 to 2016. WALMART EARNINGS FALL; OUTLOOK DARKENS Walmart said Thursday that its fourth-quarter earnings fell 7.9% due to higher operating expenses and lower sales driven by factors such as warmer weather and weaker sales of smartphones and the latest TV sets. The world’s largest retailer also lowered its estimate for sales growth in fiscal year 2017, which began in February. It’s now expected “to be relatively flat,” compared with the previous estimate of 3% to 4% growth. “This change reflects the impact from recently announced store closures globally, as well as the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar,” it said. Shares closed down 3% to $64.12.

teep stock market downturns, like the 15% plunge to start 2016, don’t disappear overnight. Rebounds with staying power require a catalyst, or a reason for investors to buy.

CALM IN CURRENCY MARKETS.
Stocks have been under pressure since China devalued its currency, the yuan, in August. Since then, currency devaluations for the purpose of boosting growth via cheaper exports has become the norm. The downside? It has caused a lot of volatility in currency markets, a trend that needs to reverse. David Bianco, chief U.S. equity strategist at Deutsche Bank, is already seeing signs of stabilization. “Currencies are stabilizing, particularly the euro,” he says. “And (China’s yuan) is unlikely to devalue in a large or disorderly way.”

A BETTER ECONOMY. The “R” word — shorthand for recession — which got a lot of airplay during the earlyyear stock dive, must go bye-bye. In short, a cessation of recession fears is needed. “I would like to see continued economic improvement, (and) more tangible evidence that the pump price dividend that Americans are receiving is finding its way to American cash registers,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. “Thursday’s (full-year sales downgrade by) Walmart, while concentrated on the (fallout from a) strong dollar, was disappointing.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY
The Federal Reserve held off on a rate hike in January. And minutes of the Fed’s meeting last month flashed additional signs of trepidation from the nation’s central bankers, as anxiety over still-low inflation and global market turbulence raised questions about its plan of hiking interest rates four more times this year for a total increase of 1 full percentage point. Then in a speech Wednesday night, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said it would be “unwise” for the Fed to continue on its rate normalization path at a time when inflation expectations are falling. Add those three things up and you’d think everyone on Wall
Street was ruling out a rate hike at the Fed’s March meeting. But you’d be wrong. After a drop in the number of folks lining up for first-time jobless benefits to 262,000 in the latest weekly reading, there’s a contingent of Fed watchers who say the job market and economy remain strong, which they interpret as reasons for the Fed to leave the door open to a hike in March. The big stock market rally in recent days also has reduced the feeling of market panic the Fed was worried about, a change that also could give the Fed the cover to move. “This morning’s data was a bit on the constructive side. If this pattern continues and markets stabilize, the probability of a March hike will increase,” Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA, told clients in a research note.

Public firms offer shares to any investor
Q: How do you know if a company is public? Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY
A: Individual investors like to invest in what they know. The problem is some of the companies you know aren’t available to be invested in — at least not by the public. Thousands of companies — ranging from the very largest — offer their shares to the public to be bought or sold. These companies are called “public traded” because their shares are available to any investor. Companies make themselves public by conducting an initial public offering, where shares of a formerly private company are first sold to investors. But while most large companies are publicly traded, not all of them are. Some companies decide to remain private and not sell shares to the public. These companies might be owned by non-public investors, such as venture capital firms, hedge funds or even the management team itself. When a company is private, its shares are not available to most individual investors. Knowing if a company is public is critical for investors — if they want to own shares. Its much easier to invest in a public company than when it’s private. USATODAY.com’s Money section is a great way to see if a company is public. Enter the name of the company, and if it’s public, you will see its name appear.
IRS warns taxpayers after 400% surge in electronic scams Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY
Email and texting scams designed to trick U.S. taxpayers into providing personal data have surged 400% so far this year, the IRS warned Thursday in a renewed consumer alert. The schemes involve so-called phishing messages designed to trick taxpayers into believing the emails and texts represent official communications from the IRS, tax software companies or others in the tax industry.
MARK WILSON, GETTY IMAGES
The messages typically ask for data related to tax refunds, filing status or seek confirmation of personal information, including ordering IRS transcripts or verification of IRS Personal Identification Numbers, the agency said.
When consumers click on the email links, they are sent to what appear to be government websites that ask for Social Security numbers and other personal information identity thieves can use to file false tax returns and collect refunds, the IRS said. The sites may also contain malware that infect taxpayers’ computers and enable cyberthieves to gain access to files or track consumers’ keystrokes to get personal data. “This dramatic jump in these scams comes at the busiest time of tax season,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen warned. “Watch out for fraudsters slipping these
official-looking emails into inboxes, trying to confuse people at the very time they work on their taxes. We urge people not to click on these emails.” Summarizing scams reported across the U.S., the IRS said: uJanuary featured 1,026 phishing and malware incidents, up from 254 during the same month last year. uThe trend continued in February, with 363 incidents reported through Tuesday. The total topped the 201 full-month total in 2015. uThe 1,389 incidents reported to date represent more than
half the 2,748 total for all of 2015. Additionally, tax professionals have reported being targeted by similar phishing scams that seek their online credentials to IRS services. The IRS said it is working with state revenue departments, tax preparation companies and others the tax industry to address the scams. “We continue to work cooperatively with our partners on this issue, and we have taken steps to strengthen our processing systems and fraud filters to watch for scam artists trying to use stolen information to file bogus tax returns,” Koskinen said.

Impressive star turns give ‘Race’ a winning finish Smaller moments make for a big payoff A couple surprising star turns in Race give justice to Jesse Owens’ running glory in the 1930s while also feeling timely with modern racial issues in the news. Stephan James nicely carries the weight of an icon playing Owens in director Stephen Hopkins’ gripping biopic-esque movie (eee out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters). Arguably more impressive, though: Jason Sudeikis, the comedic actor and former Saturday Night Live mainstay who brings nuance, gravitas and a hint of snarky rebellion to Owens’ college coach and confidante Larry Snyder. In lieu of a conventional truelife profile, Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse’s screenplay focuses on Owens’ halcyon years in the spotlight. The Cleveland kid leaves behind family, baby and girlfriend Ruth (Shanice Banton) to run at Ohio State, sets three world records and ties a fourth in a 1935 Big Ten track and field meet, and most notably goes to Berlin and the heart of Nazi country to bring back four gold medals from the 1936 Olympics. Owens walks into the German Olympic stadium with 150,000 strong, and the audience sees the spectacle from his perspective. The movie’s massive CGI crowd could have used some extra work, but Hopkins nonetheless creates an effective mood of cautious awe: James’ Owens silently wonders, as one would, about how MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT
THIBAULT GRABHERR
Jesse Owens (Stephan James) and coach Larry Snyder (Jason Sudeikis) share a moment in Race. he’ll fare in front of a mostly Nazi crew in the audience. But it’s the smaller moments in Owens’ life that come alive thanks to James’ strong performance as the reserved runner, who had to deal with hateful racism even in his own locker room but also questions of his ambition back home. “There’s no black or white. There’s only fast or slow,” Owens says of his running mindset at the Olympics, encapsulating his primal need to beat feet and succeed but also to escape from the unfriendly world and obstacles around him. In Race, Owens’ tale spins off a couple subplots that expand the story’s scope. As its main player prepares for the Olympics, the larger American contingent weighs a boycott due to the Nazis’ anti-Semitic and racist sentiments. International Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage (Jeremy Irons) makes overtures to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels (Bar-
naby Metschurat) to work it all out. That works for the most part, though another side story of filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl (Carice Van Houten) chronicling the Games and Owens’ victories just distracts from the overall plot. Owens’ friendships dramatically showcase the heart of the runner, including his unexpected connection with German jumper Luz Long (David Kross) and his strong ties with Snyder, a former Olympic hopeful himself. He and Owens find a rhythm first as coach and student, then as struggling fathers and later as close friends, and James and Sudeikis themselves discover a fantastic dynamic between them that’s the highlight of Race. Race makes its title’s double meaning all too clear, and at a time when the Oscars and movies in general struggle with finding racial balance, two guys of different skin colors coming together for some sports movie magic is a fitting lapping of the competition.

Take the right steps to prep your home to sell LINDA A. DITCH Hometown Lawrence
Homeowners can find it difficult to see their homes through the eyes of potential buyers. That dwelling you’ve called home for years might not be so appealing to someone looking to buy. What needs to be done to help the house sell for the best possible price? To get a house ready for sale, start by cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Not just your typical, everyday cleaning. Deep clean everything — carpets, window sills, door frames, ceiling fans, baseboards, light fixtures, ovens, and windows. You may want to consider hiring a professional cleaning company to come in and do the initial work, and then have them stop in every couple of weeks for touch-ups while the house is on the market.
Next, it’s time to de-clutter. You’re going to be packing for the move anyway. Now is the time to get rid of the mess. In the decluttering process, be sure to pack up personal items such as the family photos and knick-knacks. Also, keep the décor in each room simple, with minimal furnishings and artwork. Don’t forget the closets. While these are great places to stash stuff when company comes, remember buyers will look in all the closets to check out the space. Make sure they are organized, and thus a positive selling point for your house.
You may be accustomed to their smell, but a buyer will notice it right away. Now look closely at the walls. The dark mauve bathroom or the vibrant yellow kitchen may appeal to you, but not to everyone. Grab the paint brush and change any unusual wall colors to neutral tones of white, gray, or tan. Then buyers will notice the room, not the walls.
Does the bathroom have a leaky faucet? Are there scuff marks on Maximizing curb appeal is an important aspect of preparing a home to sell. the walls, or a loose doorknob?

U.S. housing starts slip amid weather issues Josh Boak The Associated Press
Offered by: Mary Ann Deck 785-760-1205
WASHINGTON — Cold winter weather appears to have cut into homebuilding in the Midwest and Northeast, causing the pace of construction to tumble in January. Housing starts slipped 3.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.1 million homes, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. A sharp 12.8 percent decline in construction in the Midwest and a 3.7 dip in the Northeast propelled the broader decrease, with construction also falling in the South. It was nearly unchanged in the West. The setback occurs after months of improvement for the real estate market. For all of 2015, builders broke ground on 1.1 million properties, the most since 2007 when the housing bubble was beginning to burst into a broader recession. “Seasonal weather and the recent uncertainty in the stock market are likely explanations for the decline in January housing starts,” said Bill Banfield, vice president of mortgage provider Quicken Loans. “Taking a step back to look at year-over-year growth, we continue to see healthy and steady gains.” Construction firms also see further room for expansion. Building permits came in at an annual rate of 1.2 million in January, a slight 0.2 percent dip from December but a 13.5 percent increase from a year ago. The steady demand for new homes reveals a sharp split in the U.S. economy. Global headwinds, such as uncertainty in China and volatile financial markets, have disrupted overall growth. Yet strong hiring and low mortgage rates have boosted the housing sector as more Americans buy new houses or sign leases for expensive apartments. The residential market continues to recover from the dramatic crash brought about subprime mortgages nearly a decade ago. Home construction remains well below its annual pace of roughly 1.5 million during the 1990s, a reflection of both higher housing costs and the damaged financial credit that remains more than 6 ½ years after the recession officially ended. And unlike the housing bubble when builders focused on owners, the industry has shifted more of its efforts to address an increase in renters. Multi-family construction - which includes apartment buildings - reached its highest levels of starts last year since 1987. Homebuilders expect the demand from buyers to persist, yet their optimism about sales growth has become a bit more tempered leading up to the start of the spring home-selling season next month. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday fell to 58 in February, a decrease of three points from January. The index had stayed in the low 60s since June. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as positive.

KANSAS BASKETBALL
Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com
Shorter bench means KU wins Notice the correlation between the size of Bill Self’s rotation and the Kansas University basketball team’s national ranking. When the rotation gets smaller, the ranking becomes higher. First, 11 players had equal shots at playing time. Then Hunter Mickelson was trimmed. Next, Svi Mykhailiuk’s minutes greatly declined. Freshmen Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg seldom reach double figures in minutes. In the past three games, victories vs. West Virginia, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, Diallo totaled 16 minutes, Bragg 11 and Mykhailiuk seven. For the most part, Brannen Greene and Jamari Traylor give coach Bill Self what he needs when he goes to the bench better than anyone else on the bench. In the past three games, Greene has totaled 59 minutes, Traylor 33. Landen Lucas earned the starting job and majority of minutes in the post by playing the best of all Self’s options. “He’s our post defender, position defender, and he’s smart, and he’s our best offensive rebounder,” Self said. “That’s been evident. I mean, he’s got 15 offensive rebounds the last three games, and he’s probably our best defensive rebounder right now. I think that that — and he goes after the ball with two hands in traffic. I think he’s given us an element of toughness, too, being in there.” If Lucas has a bad night, Self won’t hesitate to turn to Diallo if he matches up better than Traylor, but Lucas clearly has moved to the head of the class. Diallo and Bragg each could have a game in them in March that Cole Aldrich gave Kansas in a 16-minute dominant performance against North Carolina. Aldrich totaled 10 minutes in the three games previous to his national-semifinal outburst. On the perimeter, and even at the power forward spot, Greene gives Self a terrific three-point shooter and solid defensive rebounder. “I think he’s been a positive factor without question, the last couple of games,” Self said. “I thought he was good against OU and I thought he was good against Oklahoma State, so yeah, I’m hopeful that he’s on an uptick, but more importantly, I hope our team is.” Riding a six-game winning streak, the team definitely is on an uptick. If the players do an even better job of finding Greene in the corner in transition, more improvement awaits. One month ago today, Oklahoma State smoked Kansas by 19 points. It’s amazing how much better this team is now and the paring of the rotation has had at least a little to do with that. — Tom Keegan appears on The Drive on Sunday nights on WIBW-TV.

KANSAS GUARD BRANNEN GREENE (14) COMES DOWN FROM A BREAKAWAY DUNK before the final horn in the Jayhawks’ 77-59 win over Kansas State, Feb. 3 at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas head coach Bill Self later apologized to Kansas State for the play.
Wildcats using play as motivation By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self was furious at junior guard Brannen Greene for flushing a meaningless, unguarded, unopposed dunk right before the final horn sounded in the Jayhawks’ 77-59 win over rival Kansas State on Feb. 3 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Two weeks, four victories and no losses later, the wounds have healed on KU’s side of the equation. The 6-foot-7 Greene in fact — after playing just one minute against TCU following a public admonishment by Self — has responded to doubledigit minutes with 30 points and 12 boards in wins over Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
Meanwhile, in Manhattan, where the Wildcats are preparing for Saturday’s 5 p.m. rematch against KU in Bramlage Coliseum, feelings just now are beginning to surface about Greene’s controversial slam. “It was kind of like they were just throwing stuff in our face when they did that,” Please see HOOPS, page 3C
LHS, FSHS swimmers aim high By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com
Riding high from momentum after the Sunflower League meet two weeks ago, Lawrence High’s boys swimming and diving team has high goals for this weekend at the Class 6A state championships. The Lions are aiming for their first top-10 placing since 2002 when state swimming preliminaries begin at 2 p.m. today in Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka. At the league meet, the Lions took third place, the school’s best showing since 2002. With only six swimmers and divers qualified for the state meet, the Lions are confident they can finish the season in a big way. “League definitely showed us what we could do,” LHS senior Chase Odgers said. “Up until then, we hadn’t really seen how we compared to previous years.” The Lions are led by their top three sophomores: Stephen Johnson, Alex Heckman and Isaac Springe. Johnson is seeded fourth in the 500 freestyle and fifth in the 200 freestyle, while Heckman is seventh in the 100 freestyle. In the 200 freestyle at the league meet, Johnson swam his first 100 yards in a blistering 48.88 seconds before running out of steam and losing pace. He’s confident, if he can hold onto his starting speed, he can contend for a top spot in the event. He was runner-up in the 500 freestyle last season. With only a small group left on the team, practices were loose this week with each swimmer claiming their own lane. “They’re starting to goof off a lot,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “They are resting, they have all of this energy and we’ve got to try to get them to hold it for the races.” Odgers, who swam yearround for the first time this year, will compete in the 100 freestyle and two relays. His goal is to earn a spot in the 100 freestyle finals (top 16) for the first time in his career. “It’s my last one so it’s kind of a last hurrah,’ Odgers said. “I’m kind of excited and really nervous. … Most of my senior (swimmers) aren’t going to state. I’m with the younger guys, and I like all of them, so it’ll be fun. But I’ve kind of started to feel the end already.” Free State’s boys swimming and diving team, Please see SWIMMING, page 3C

FREE STATE’S ALEX JIMENEZ, LEFT, AND MATTHEW EAGLE slap hands between frames during the Sunflower League bowling tournament Thursday in Olathe.
Olathe — It hasn’t been the easiest week to focus on bowling for Free State High senior Matthew Eagle, especially before Thursday’s Sunflower League bowling tournament at Olathe Lanes East. Eagle and his family were displaced when their house suffered significant damage in a fire on Monday morning, and are now staying at a family friends’ house, But there Eagle was Thursday, rolling strike after strike like usual. He helped the Firebirds to third place in the team standings. As a team, the Firebirds had a 2,536 series, trailing champion Olathe East by only 88.
Lawrence High’s girls bowling team also took third place at the league tournament. “The day after the fire, we actually had a tournament and that one was pretty tough,” Eagle said. “I was on not very much sleep. But I didn’t even think about it much today. I was pretty focused in on my bowling. I don’t think it really affected me that much.” Eagle finished fifth individually with a 648 threegame series, the third time in his career he finished in the top 10 at the league tournament. FSHS junior Alex Jimenez was third with a 669 series. Bowling for the first time Please see BOWLING, page 3C

which finished second at league, is hopeful it saved its best for last. When the state seed times are scored, the Firebirds are slated for third place. They’re hoping they can surprise their opponents and outdo their seeding times. “You never know what’s going to happen, but that’s the plan,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald
said of a potential topthree finish. “We’ve got places to move up, that’s the exciting part. They are pretty motivated.” At the league meet, Free State juniors Jordan Portela and Evan Yoder, along with sophomore Evan Eskilson, won two events each. Portela is the No. 1 seed in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly. “There’s a lot of nerves, but also a lot of excitement,” said FSHS senior Carson Ziegler, who will swim in the 50 and 100 freestyles. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long
time. This is what we’ve been working for all season.” Along with their league champions, Free State seniors John Walpole, Ethan Kallenberger and Brett Carey, and junior Corey Schultz-Bever, are seeded in the top 16 of their individual events. “Ever since I was freshman or sophomore, I thought it would be so cool to bring home a medal from state,” Kallenberger said. “I’m seeded close to it in the 100 fly, so I think that’s my goal.”

at Olathe Lanes East this season, the Firebirds had trouble adjusting to the “sticky” approach. For a sport that is based off of adjustments, the Firebirds, who entered the tournament as the top seed, had little room for error. “If you can’t slide, your swing is off,” Jimenez said. “If you stick, you’re going to pull it. If you slide too much, you’re just going to throw it out a ditch. It’s not going to be a fun day.” Along with Eagle and Jimenez, FSHS junior Cameron Edens bowled a 607 series, his third time above 600 this season. Lawrence’s boys bowling team struggled to find its rhythm, finishing in 11th place with a 2,207 series. Triston Decker led the Lions with a 588 series, including a 226 in his first game. Cameron Stussie added a 552 series. The Lions have bowled three times at Olathe Lanes East. The first time was their worst performance of the season. When they returned, they responded with, by far, their best series of the year. Then it was back to the wrong side of the extremes Thursday. “It was kind of frustrating for them,” LHS coach Paula Bastemeyer said. “We came in thinking, ‘OK, we have these lanes figured out.’ And then we didn’t. Luckily, this isn’t where we are bowling regionals.” The LHS girls bowling team was also a little disappointed by its thirdplace finish. The Lions had

LHS junior Morgan Daniels led the Lions with a 540 series, placing eighth. She showed consistency with games of 179, 180 and 181. Not far behind Daniels, Lawrence’s Miranda Krom (522 series), Diamonique Vann (514), Holly Evans (512) and Izzy Schmidtberger (509) were among the top 20 bowlers individually. “I was impressed with the fact that they just stuck with it,” Bastemeyer said. “I didn’t see any big peaks and valleys. I just don’t think it was our day to get the roll. Some days you get it, some days you don’t.” Free State’s girls bowlers placed sixth with a 1,937 series, a little below their goal of 2,220. Senior Gentry Jordan rolled a 524, finishing 11th, and sophomore Morgan Wright followed with a 464. “Gentry had one of her best series of the year,” FSHS coach Burton Gepford said. “This is kind of where she left off last year. Our hope is that she will continue
and get a little bit better and be ready for regionals.” Both schools will compete at regionals on Feb. 26 at West Ridge Lanes in Topeka.

K-State senior Justin Edwards said Thursday as reported by Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle. “To get back at them and just beat them on the court is what we want to do. “It wasn’t sportsmanlike of him to do that,” Edwards added to Robinett. “The players kind of just said he was a (bleep). I don’t know if I should say that or not, but, yeah, players talked about it.” Of the dunk, KSU junior Wesley Iwundu said: “In a situation like that you just want to walk off the court and let the game be over with. We still remember that. It is just motivation going into this game.” Self issued an apology to KSU after the game and Greene did the same after Monday’s home win over Oklahoma State. “I do apologize and am sorry for it. I’m just ready to play. It’s about the basketball game,” Greene said. “It is what it is, probably so,” he added of fans likely booing him in Bramlage on Saturday. “It won’t faze me much. I don’t really care too much about that.” KU’s players Saturday also could use an unsportsmanlike act committed by KSU as motivation, if they so desire. Last season, a KSU student plowed into Jamari Traylor and was issued a disorderly conduct citation following a courtstorming after the Wildcats’ second home win over KU in as many years. “They deserved to storm the court. They beat us. They deserved everything they got that night,” KU junior Wayne Selden, Jr., said Thursday.
Friday, February 19, 2016 “We lost the game. They beat us. It’s a new year. We’re not really looking toward sportsmanship (issue) or anything like that, the past or anything like that. We’re just looking to go there and get a win.” “If we win, we don’t have to worry about it. It (everything) would be all right,” Traylor said. “We’ve just got to take care of business. As far as sportsmanship, that’s old (news). I saw them win a game a little while ago, a big game. I think it was OU. Nobody got hurt after the game. My mindset is on winning anyway. We just have to take care of business,” Traylor added. The Jayhawk players indicated they weren’t concerned about the Greene issue being on the Cats’ minds. “I feel any Big 12 game you should be motivated to play. I don’t feel you need small incentives like that,” Selden said. “I feel they’re going to come ready to play and we’re going to come ready to play.” Noted Traylor: “I’m just here to play. I’m just going to play. Whatever happens outside of the court, I don’t have any control of that. We’re just going to be focused and go out there and play.” KU coach Self said at his weekly news conference Thursday he anticipates no problems with sportsmanship in Round Two between the No. 2-ranked (22-4, 10-3) Jayhawks and unranked (1511, 4-9) Wildcats. “The reason they are rival games is because people on both sides, and fans primarily, don’t really like each other that much. There’s a reason why it’s a rival. It’s because it means something to your group, and it means something to their group, and both of them

have pride in who is the victorious one,” Self said. “Things happen sometimes that doesn’t equate to poor sportsmanship. It equates to a lot of people who care, that get upset at inopportune moments. That situation that happened last year is not a factor, and we’ve had situations where we didn’t handle ourselves right. That’s not a factor. The factor is you’ve got hopefully 10 guys out there at a time competing against each other and keeping everything within the lines certainly. That’s not going to be a point with us, and you know, it shouldn’t be. If you don’t want to get the court storm, you should play better, and certainly we haven’t done that the last couple times over there.” l
More on courtstorming: A Twitter post by reporter Robinett (who interviewed KSU players Thursday) reads: “KState players are pushing for students to storm the court should they beat KU on Saturday. Why not have fun with it, says Wesley Iwundu.” ... KSU this week issued a video on YouTube regarding treating its guests with class. It is available at bit. ly/1KYvdOA l
