DeBruce Center taking shape on KU campus Home for rules of ‘Basket Ball’ targets April opening By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

James Naismith’s original rules of “Basket Ball” now have a home at Kansas University — right down to the nook they’ll rest in — but there’s a lot of finishing touches yet to be completed. That nook, for example, still has loose wires sticking out of it and is surrounded by unfinished wood. The target opening date for the DeBruce Center, being constructed adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, is now mid- to late April.

The rules themselves will be the final finishing touch, going in only after every tile is laid and every speck of dust swept up, said Curtis Marsh, DeBruce Center director. “The rules don’t get put into the case until every stitch of construction is in place,” Marsh said. “We are not messing around with those rules.” KU alumnus David Booth and his wife, Suzanne Booth, purchased the 1891 document at auction in 2010 for $4.3 million Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo — a sports memorabilia record, according to Sotheby’s in New CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES WITHIN THE DEBRUCE CENTER and around the Rules Concourse, which will tell the story of basketball and lead to the Rules Gallery, where the original rules of “Basket Ball” will be York City. displayed, during a walking tour on Thursday.

At convention, Kansas Democrats ‘have nowhere to go but up’ By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Former Congressman Dan Glickman and former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged that the Kansas Democratic Party is in a weak position in 2016.

But they were still optimistic, telling a banquet crowd at the party’s state convention Saturday night in Topeka that there is reason to be hopeful about the future. “This state now has, for example, a very, very heavy Republican dominance in the Legislature,” Glickman

DeBruce CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The 32,000-squarefoot DeBruce Center is being built to house the rules, but also as a unionstyle space that will be open to students and the public six days a week. KU Memorial Unions will run it. “This facility has to serve a dual purpose,” said Marsh, a KU Memorial Unions employee who also is the director of KU Info. “It is, of course, a shrine to the original rules of basketball. It is also a student center on campus.” The building will be open to the public until 5 or 6 p.m. each day except Sunday. Marsh said it will be available to reserve for events and will probably be used for Williams Education Fund events during men’s basketball games, although the portion of the building housing the rules — accessible through Allen Fieldhouse — should remain open to the public during games. The Journal-World got a hard-hat tour of DeBruce last week. Walls, ramps, stairs, kitchen areas and most railings are in place. Wall finishes, countertops, some flooring, a decorative metal wall, museum displays — and of course, the rules display — remain unfinished. The DeBruce Center has floor-to-ceiling glass walls and hardly any enclosed rooms or even levels. Here’s a list of areas inside the open-concept building: l Main entrance: Located at the northeast end of the building, facing the Naismith Drive and Irving Hill Road intersection. Just inside will be a coffee bar. A life-size sculpture of Naismith by the late KU professor and bronze artist Elden Tefft will be located outside. l The Rules Concourse: A gently sloping ramp leading from the main entrance to the

rules. Thirteen 10-foot glass panels flanking the ramp will tell the story of “the origins of basketball and how that story has a lot to do with the University of Kansas,” Marsh said. Along the way, visitors will pass the Original Rules Store, a gift shop featuring rules and KU memorabilia and attire. l The Rules Gallery: Future home of the rules, flanked by historical displays about Naismith and legendary KU basketball coach Phog Allen. One end of the gallery opens into Allen Fieldhouse and the other into the DeBruce Center. No glass walls here, as the rules must be protected from excess light. The old papers are in a Smithsonian-grade protective case that regulates humidity, Marsh said. They’ll be displayed behind electrochromic glass that will remain opaque, protecting the document from light, until a viewer presses a button to illuminate the case. l Mezzanine dining and lounge area: Open seating area on top level, overlooking main dining area below. l Nutrition Kitchen: Also on the top level, a small dining area and cafeteria envisioned for KU athletics team meals and meetings. l Courtside Cafe: On the lowest level. A cafeteria similar to the Market in the Kansas Union, with four different food stations featuring salads, wraps, rice bowls, crepes and a churrasco-style grill. l Main dining and

wide race that year was Sebelius, who won her race to become the state’s first Democratic Insurance Commissioner. Sebelius recalled that year with some hesitation, but also with some optimism. “In 1994, we got wiped out as Kansas Democrats. Lost the governor’s office. Lost two congressional seats. Lost legislative seats. I won, and it was a very weird election night, because I periodically went to people and said, ‘woo-hoo ... oh, sorry. Re-

ally sorry.’ Because it was a very sad event.” But she went on to say that Democrats rebounded after those losses, rebuilding the party’s infrastructure, and recovering some of the seats it had lost in the Legislature and, for a time, two of the seats in Congress. “That’s where we are now, and I think there’s every reason to be optimistic,” she said. Sebelius noted that within the past year, the so-called “millennial generation” — people born

between the early 1980s and early 2000s — became the largest age group within the U.S. population, and potentially the largest voting bloc. “They are known to be the most tolerant, the most well-educated, the most inclusive generation that we’ve ever had in this country,” she said. “Those are our values, folks. That’s what makes people Democrats.”

Hesston — Grieving residents of this small Kansas town parked riding lawnmowers with American flags planted beside them along some streets on Saturday and adorned them with “Hesston Hustler Strong” signs in a symbolic reference to the lawn equipment brand from the factory where a gunman killed three co-workers.

It draws about 1,000 workers from small towns around the region, and everyone seems to either work there or know someone who does. The Hustler brand evolved in the 1960s from the tinkering of a man from a nearby town, John Regier, who built a lawn mower that could turn and maneuver more easily to

cut grass around obstacles such as trees and winding sidewalks. The company now sells Hustler and Big Dog equipment around the globe and in 2013 earned the Kansas Governor’s Exporter of the Year award. The quiet of Hesston was shattered on Thursday when Cedric L. Ford barged into the plant while about 300 people were working the second shift and opened fire. Authorities say Ford, a convicted felon, was upset after being served hours earlier at the plant with a protection from abuse order to stay away from a former girlfriend.

Sanburn said there isn’t yet a determination of how many of those applicants are qualified for the position. Consultants with the search firm, which is based in Omaha, Neb., previously said that they noted a decrease in the amount of applications to Kansas superintendent positions about five years ago. The 15-20 applications typically received in Kansas is lower than their national average, which is 25 to 35 applications, according to the firm’s owner and CEO, Tom Jacobson. Since 2011, more than 160 Kansas superintendents have resigned or retired, according to information provided to the JournalWorld by the Kansas School Superintendents’ Association. That means that of the 286 school districts in Kansas, more than half have seen turnover in the superintendent position in the past five years. Current Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll, 61, announced in November that he would resign his position at the end of the school year. Doll has accepted a full-time position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University. Doll has said a desire to return to teaching, the lack of financial and moral support of public schools in the Kansas Legislature, and changes to KPERS early retirement rules — Doll is a “working retiree” — were all contributing factors in his choice to resign. Sanburn and board Vice President Marcel Harmon will review all the applications ahead of a special meeting on Monday. Sanburn said that in addition

to the basic qualifications, they will pay particular attention to the candidates’ response to a question about school equity, which has been a focus of work in the district for several years. “I think because that is such a unique area that our district is working in, it will be interesting to see how the applicant pool answered the question,” Sanburn said. The board submitted five candidate characteristics to the firm in January, which consultants then used to formulate the applicant questionnaire. Board members indicated they wanted a candidate who would “embrace the district’s goal of raising the achievement of all students, while closing achievement gaps through continued racial equity programming.” All members of the board will review the applicants at the special executive session on Monday, which is closed to the public. Consultants with the search firm will provide their top 10 candidates, and board members and consultants will then select six semifinalists and finalize the list of interview questions. The semifinalists will not be made public, Sanburn said. Semifinalist candidates will be interviewed Thursday and Friday, and Sanburn said the board would likely announce two or three finalists Friday evening. On March 7 and 8, the finalists will meet with focus groups of district staff, community members and students whom the board selected, as well as take part in final interviews with the board. The board will announce its final decision by March 11, Sanburn said. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

“

I thought the Good Neighbor meeting was a great step in the process of coming together as a neighborhood and a community CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A to have a dialogue and about our mission, Lawrence City Com- successes and challenges.” missioner Lisa Larsen said if the shelter followed the plan it might solve a number of the concerns that neighbors raised during the meeting. “The citizens have strong concerns about the actions that have been occurring by what is perceived to be the guests of the community center,” Larsen said. The shelter guests “are trespassing on property, sleeping in the area; drugs are found in the streets and in the parks; one neighbor reported finding somebody in their backyard. I took their concerns very seriously,” she said. Trey Meyer, the homeless shelter’s executive director, said he thought the meeting was constructive. “I thought the Good Neighbor meeting was a great step in the process of coming together as a neighborhood and a community to have a dialogue and about our mission, successes and challenges,” Meyer said. The Lawrence JournalWorld was not permitted to attend the meeting.

Perennial problems Since the shelter moved three years ago from downtown to 3655 E. 25th St., next to the Douglas County Jail, it has reportedly had problems with its residents wandering into nearby neighborhoods. No stores are located near the shelter, and the only mode of transportation for many is to walk, ride a bike or catch the bus. The bus stop is about a quarter of a mile from the shelter, and a bus comes by every hour during the day. A convenience store more than two miles away is a shorter walk. The route cuts through the Prairie

— Trey Meyer, Lawrence Community Shelter executive director Park subdivision. Neighbors have said this foot traffic through their properties has led to some of the problems. But even as administrators attempt to repair relations with the neighbors, the shelter also is struggling financially. Last July, the Lawrence City Commission agreed to help the shelter with emergency aid in the amount of $50,000 after the shelter board told them the nonprofit agency was almost insolvent. Douglas County provided another $50,000. The City Commission asked that, in return, the shelter allow the city to audit the shelter’s finances and that it also provide the city with a strategic plan by Dec. 31 to help the shelter follow a path to remain financially viable. In December, City Auditor Michael Eglinski told the commission he had found that the shelter had owed $37,000 in back payroll taxes to the Internal Revenue Service last spring and had paid the debt in September. A board member, John Magnuson, said private funds, and not the money the city provided the shelter, were used to pay the tax bill. He also explained the taxes were a mistake because someone “forgot to check a box when running payroll, and it got behind a little bit.”

Strategic plan delayed As for the strategic plan that was due on Dec. 31, shelter administrators still have not given one to the city, the JournalWorld learned recently.

Meyer said he was hoping to finish it Friday but had been extremely busy with other responsibilities, including hosting the neighborhood meeting on Wednesday, and had not been able to finish. “I aspired to get that done earlier this week, but we had a number of important meetings that occurred this week, and I just didn’t have enough hours in the days,” Meyer said. Meyer said he initially — and incorrectly — thought the shelter’s budget would suffice for a strategic plan. Larsen said city staff is looking into the delayed plan.

Budget, staffing woes The shelter budget has also been cut, the JournalWorld recently learned. In the shelter’s annual report submitted this month, Meyer wrote that the shelter cut almost $300,000 from its budget. “This required us to eliminate or drastically scale back several positions,” Meyer wrote. “We have managed to accomplish this, but it has decreased our ability to engage in the more highly leveraged activities that lead to a person getting housed, such as one-onone time with case managers.” One of the complaints at the Wednesday meeting was that the shelter doesn’t have enough staff in the evening hours, Larsen said. The management plan considers adequate staffing during evening hours to be three people. But the shelter currently only has two, Larsen said. “If this is what we

promised the neighborhood, we need to make that plan work,” Larsen said. “It is our obligation.” Rules require that at least two employees are on site at night at all times, she said. The third employee can take a resident who needs to be removed from the shelter to a designated place rather than leaving the person outside the front door to walk somewhere. City buses do not pick up from the shelter at night.

Going forward The plan also requires that the shelter host an annual meeting that is open to the public. Meyer said while that had not happened since the shelter opened, he planned to hold two public meetings this year. Other management plan requirements: l Ensure that no-trespassing signs on neighbors’ property are posted. l Respond in person when neighbors report a shelter resident is “engaging in negative behaviors.” l Provide semi-annual summary reports of complaints to the neighbors. l Disseminate quarterly reports of shelter program activities and outcomes and responses to neighborhood complaints. Meyer said he does not condone the problems described by neighbors at the meeting. Still, Lawrence residents need to accept the challenge and do what they can for the homeless, he said. “In a perfect world, there would be no homelessness, mental illness, alcoholism, drug addiction, unemployment, or lack of housing opportunities,” he said. “The reality, however, is that we live in a world full of challenges, limited resources and fallible people.” —Reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or at 382-7162.

ALICIA AND JAMES DITTY HUG DURING A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FRIDAY at Heritage Park in Hesston. On Thursday, Cedric Ford, an employee of Excel Industries in Hesston, allegedly entered the factory and killed three people and wounded over a dozen others.

Shooting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In addition to three people killed, 14 were wounded counting two people shot as he drove to the plant. It fell to Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder, one of a force of just six full-time officers, to rush into the plant without backup and kill the gunman in an exchange of bullets. An off-duty officer drove his pickup truck to the plant and took an injured worker to a nearby ambulance. The police chief was hailed as a hero in a community where people help each other out. But city leaders on Saturday said there were many heroes that day, including some Excel workers who carried injured people out. Hesston Mayor David Kauffman said law enforcement converged from around the area. Just weeks earlier, the county had hosted active

shooter training for area departments. “We were prepared as much as we could be for something like this,” Kauffman said. “At Excel, we are like a family,” said Rick Lett, a friend since high school of one of the dead, 44-yearold Brian Sadowsky. Lett worked an earlier shift that day and recalled his friend’s last words to him as Sadowsky arrived for that fateful second shift: “Have a good evening, brother.” The other workers killed inside the plant were Josh Higbee, 31, and Renee Benjamin, 30. For some families, multiple generations work at Excel. Karen Mosqueda worked the first shift and her daughter, Ashley, worked the second shift on the day of the attack. Ashley ran out of the building when someone shouted that there was a gunman. Some workers carried an injured colleague outside, taking their belts off as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding before going to nearby homes to get a

blanket for him. At a Wichita hospital, the son of Dennis Britton Sr. is recovering from a gunshot wound that went through his lower buttock and fractured a femur bone. Dennis Britton Jr. has told his father that when he heard the shooting he dropped to the floor and then couldn’t get back up. The shooter made eye contact with him. The father, a 20-year veteran, recalled how his son looked up at him from the ambulance at the plant and said, “It hurts.” But the older Britton knows his son will have more than just his physical injuries to deal with in the coming days. “It was pretty rough. I don’t think it has sunk in yet,” the father said. “When it does, he is going to have to do some talking.” The city plans a town hall this afternoon to answer questions from residents, and a special church service also is planned this evening in the school gym.

Prosecutor, prof recall Harper Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Roy Wenzl Associated Press

Wichita â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the history of classic American literature, the backstory of writer Harper Lee and the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? is one of the strangest and most enduring tales. Lee died on Feb. 19 at age 89. Most of the many stories re-told about her in the next few days will focus on her 1960 novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Kill A Mockingbird.â&#x20AC;? But Duane West and Thomas Fox Averill are Kansans who can tell the behind-the-scenes tale about her and her childhood friend Truman Capote, who wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Blood.â&#x20AC;? If not for Lee, they said Friday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? never would have been written. West, now 84, was the chief prosecutor of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? murderers Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. Averill teaches Kansas literature at Washburn University. He has spent much time talking to Kansans about Capote and Lee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how Capoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book got written. West on Friday told vivid stories to The Wichita Eagle about Lee and Capote from memory. Here are reasons he and Averill said we should deeply appreciate her. lll

Four members of the Clutter family were found dead in 1959 at their farmhouse near the western Kansas town of Holcomb. West was the elected county attorney of Finney County, where the Clutters lived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so I was the chief prosecutor, from the time that case started until we got both of those two (expletive) hanged.â&#x20AC;?

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

Parks and Rec seeks staff for ash borer problem BOTTOM LINE City Commissioners will consider a request from the Parks and Recreation Department for $238,540 to hire three full-time forestry staff members to deal with the emerald ash borer infestation, which is expected to kill all of the city’s ash trees within the next 10 years.

BACKGROUND The Kansas Department of Agriculture confirmed in October that the emerald ash borer — a small beetle that feeds on ash trees’ vascular tissue — was present in Douglas County. Commissioners will be asked Tuesday to choose one of three plans to combat the infestation. The first, which Parks and Rec is recommending, is to spend the $238,540 this year on three additional staff members and public outreach. The second

option includes hiring one full-time staff member for public outreach and contracting out all of the work to treat, remove and replace ash trees, and the third is to hire a contractor to remove all of the dead ash trees over the next eight years, without replacing them. The item was on the City Commission’s Feb. 16 agenda, but it was deferred because Mayor Mike Amyx could not be in attendance because of an illness.

Welfare claims Not all, or perhaps even most, Kansas families that have left the welfare rolls did so because parents had found jobs and become self-supporting.

s state lawmakers continue their efforts to reduce assistance to Kansas families in need, they make a lot of claims that aren’t fully supported by the data. For instance, when Sen. Michael ODonnell, R-Wichita, recently voiced support for a bill that would lower the lifetime limit for assistance and set other new restrictions, he pointed to the reduced number of Kansans receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families as evidence that new restrictions have been effective in encouraging people to get jobs and climb out of poverty. For a certain number of Kansans, that probably is true, but there are other factors that undoubtedly are reducing the overall number of families that receive cash assistance from the TANF program. Only households with children are eligible for cash assistance from TANF, which also funds various other programs that help needy families in the state. An obvious one is the reduction in the lifetime limit for cash assistance. Last year, that limit was reduced to 36 months from 48 months. The bill passed by the Senate earlier this month would further reduce that limit to 24 months. Federal law allows up to 60 months of TANF assistance. The Kansas Department for Children and Families estimates the reduction to 24 months would affect 420 Kansas households. In addition to the lifetime limit, some recipients likely have found it difficult to qualify for TANF assistance because of new work and anti-fraud rules that would be further tightened by the new legislation. One provision of the bill requires recipients to accept any “suitable employment offer” and forbids them from quitting any job at which they are working at least 30 hours per week. Most Kansans, including many TANF recipients, support the idea of helping people gain education and find work as a way to climb out of poverty. However, though Kansas has seen modest increases in employment in the last several years, it’s unlikely that the large decrease in TANF recipients can be attributed to people getting jobs and becoming financially independent. DCF officials offer anecdotal success stories, but they say the difficulty of following up on people who leave the TANF program makes it impossible to come up with firm data on whether they left the program because they had a job or for some other reason. DCF statistics show a spike in TANF cases in FY 2011 when the state was still recovering from the Great Recession, and a corresponding 17.7 percent reduction in those numbers in FY 2012. However, large decreases in TANF cases also were reported for the next three years: 27.7 percent in FY 2013, 18.1 percent in FY 2014 and 13.6 percent in FY 2015. The amount the state spent on cash assistance dropped from $52 million in FY 2011 to $20.4 million in FY 2015, a reduction of about 60 percent. It’s hard to believe there is that much less need in Kansas than there was five years ago. During that same time period the amount the state spent on employment services for TANF recipients dropped by more than half, from $10.7 million in FY 2011 to $5 million in FY 2015. With the new job requirements, a high percentage of TANF recipients are using those services, which makes the large reduction in spending for employment services puzzling. There’s certainly more than one way to reduce the TANF rolls, and the numbers may not tell the whole story. Getting people off of assistance by helping them become self-supporting is great, but using increasingly strict rules to cut off families who still need that assistance is a strategy that many Kansans don’t support.

Trump fever is bound to cool down Washington — “Hell,” said Alabama’s Democratic Gov. George Wallace before roiling the 1968 presidential race, “we got too much dignity in government now, what we need is some meanness.” Twelve elections later, Wallace’s wish is approaching fulfillment as Republicans contemplate nominating someone who would run to Hillary Clinton’s left. Donald Trump, unencumbered by any ballast of convictions, would court Bernie Sanders’ disaffected voters with promises to enrich rather than reform the welfare state’s entitlement menu — Trump already says, “I am going to take care of everybody” — and to make America great again by having it cower behind trade barriers. If elected, Trump presumably would seek re-election, so there would be no conservative choice for president until at least 2024. The Democratic Party once had to defend itself against a populist demagogue. During the 1932 campaign, while lunching at Hyde Park with his aide Rexford Tugwell, Franklin Roosevelt took a telephone call from Sen. Huey Long, who as governor had made Louisiana into America’s closest approximation of a police state. When the call ended, FDR told Tugwell: “That’s the second-most dangerous man in this country. Huey’s a whiz on the radio. He screams at people and they love it.” Who, Tugwell asked, is the most dangerous? FDR,

“

Trump’s Republican opponents are running out of days, places and people to stop him. Candidates, voters and other daydream believers rail against the ‘establishment,’ waiting for this corpse to resurrect itself.” recalling Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s violent dispersal of aggrieved military veterans in Washington in July 1932, answered: “You saw how he strutted down Pennsylvania Avenue. You saw that picture of him in the Times after the troops chased all those vets out with tear gas and burned their shelters. Did you ever see anyone more self-satisfied? There’s a potential Mussolini for you.” Trump, who was a biggovernment liberal Democrat until he recently discovered he was a conservative Republican, has the upturned jutted jaw, the celebration of “energy” and the flirtation with violence and torture that characterized the Italian who

was a radical socialist until he decided he was a fascist. Trump, however, is as American as Huey Long. MacArthur said all military disasters could be explained by two words: “Too late.” Too late to discern a danger, too late to prepare for it. The Trumpkins’ love affair with their hero is too hot not to cool down — unless his opponents quickly act on this fact: His supporters like him, not what pass for his “ideas,” so the way to stop him is to show him to be unlikable. Clinton’s opposition researchers must be delirious with delight about what they already have to work with. The 2012 Obama campaign had to resort to tendentiousness to present Mitt Romney’s impeccable business practices as proof that he was a villain. Read what a conscientious conservative, Ian Tuttle of National Review Online, is finding in Trump’s already public record (www.nationalreview.com/author/iantuttle). Then imagine what fun Democrats will have with Trump’s career of crony capitalism lubricated, he boasts, by renting politicians. Trump’s Republican opponents are running out of days, places and people to stop him. Candidates, voters and other daydream believers rail against the “establishment,” waiting for this corpse to resurrect itself. But it died 50 years ago, on April 24, 1966, when its house organ, the New York Herald-Tribune, expired. The establishment

had been comatose since Barry Goldwater brushed aside its feebly arrogant attempt to derail his nomination at the 1964 convention. Today, the conservative movement should pool its sufficient resources to help Marco Rubio defeat Trump in winner-takeall Florida. And to support John Kasich in Ohio. And Trump should be bombarded with questions like these: What are you hiding by refusing to give the public the aesthetic pleasure of examining what you call your “beautiful” tax returns? Will you at least jot down on a piece of paper your gross income in each of the last three years? And your adjusted gross income on your personal tax returns in the last three years? And how much you paid in federal personal income taxes in those years? And how much each of your companies paid? Will you release the last five years of your personal financial statements — these are already prepared — that banks would have required you to submit annually in connection with the loans you list on the liabilities page of your financial disclosure report? Trump probably hopes to secure the nomination before releasing pertinent information about his career that supposedly is his qualification for Lincoln’s chair. Perhaps, like Cole Porter, he knows when a love affair is too hot not to cool down. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 28, 1916: “Last fall years some of the fraterago nity brothers had IN 1916 cause to marvel at the remarkably long conversations some of their girl friends were capable of sustaining over the telephone. One member had a brilliant thought. ‘Let’s find which girl in the University can talk the longest time continuously over the telephone,’ he suggested, and the contest was on. … The record at the present time for an uninterrupted flow of language is thirty-five minutes.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Carson needs lesson on black identity Today’s column is for the benefit of one Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson. He shouldn’t need what follows, but obviously does. No other conclusion is possible after his interview with Politico a few days ago. The subject was Barack Obama and what the Republican presidential contender sees as the inferior quality of the president’s blackness. “He’s an ‘African’ American,” said Carson. “He was, you know, raised white. I mean, like most Americans, I was proud that we broke the color barrier when he was elected, but … he didn’t grow up like I grew up…” Carson, the son of a struggling single mother who raised him in Detroit, and sometimes relied on food stamps to do so, noted that Obama, by contrast, spent part of his childhood in Indonesia. “So, for him to claim that he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch.” Lord, have mercy. Let’s not even get into the fact that the man questioning Obama’s racial bona fides once stood before an audience of white conservatives and proclaimed the Affordable Care Act “the worst thing that has happened in this country since

By his ‘logic,’ Kobe Bryant, who grew up in Italy, is not black, Shaquille O’Neal, who spent part of his childhood in Germany, is not black, Miles Davis and Natalie Cole, who grew up in affluent households, were not black…”

slavery.” Let’s deal instead with Carson’s implicit assertion that to be authentically black requires being fatherless and broke, scrabbling for subsistence in the ‘hood. If a white man said that, we’d call it racist. And guess what? It’s also racist when a black man says it. Not to mention, self-hating and self-limiting. Carson denies the very depth and breadth of African-American life. By his “logic,” Kobe Bryant,

who grew up in Italy, is not black, Shaquille O’Neal, who spent part of his childhood in Germany, is not black, Miles Davis and Natalie Cole, who grew up in affluent households, were not black and Martin Luther King Jr., child of middle-class comfort and an intact family, was not black. According to him, they were all “raised white.” Here’s what Carson doesn’t get: What we call “race” is not about neighborhood, class or family status. Though the African hostages upon whose backs this country was built shared certain common approaches to music, faith and art, race ultimately isn’t even about culture. Martin Luther King, for instance, was an opera buff; it’s hard to get further from “black” culture than “Lucia di Lammermoor.” No, race is something Europeans invented as a tool of subjugation. The people who came here from England, France and Spain did not initially see themselves as “white,” after all. They declared themselves white — that is, a superior species of humanity — to justify in their own consciences the evil things they did to the people they took from Africa. Similarly, those Africans knew nothing about “black.”

They saw themselves as Fulani, Mende, Mandinkan or Songhay. “Black” was an identity forced upon them with every bite of the lash and rattle of the chains. In other words, to be black is not to share a common geography, class or family status, but rather, the common experience of being insulted, bullied and oppressed by people who think they are white. Want to know if you’re black? Try to rent a house in Miami. Try to hail a cab in Times Square. Try to win an Oscar in Hollywood. You’ll find out real quick. And there is something spectacularly absurd in the fact of Barack Obama being criticized as “not black” by a Republican. Think about it: In the unlikely event he somehow managed to live the 47 years before his presidency without being insulted, bullied and oppressed by people who think they are white, Obama has sure made up for it since. Members of Carson’s party have called him “boy,” “uppity” and “ape” and have gone to extraordinary and unprecedented lengths to block him from doing … anything. So the good doctor can relax. If Obama wasn’t “black” before, he certainly is now. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Probiotic Supplements Also Enhance Immunity in Seniors Researchers have long known that intestinal bacteria influence the integrity of our immune systems, but gut health sometimes affects people differently, depending on their age. “Elderly adults have alterations in their gut microbiota and immune functions that are associated with higher susceptibility to infections and metabolic disorders,” wrote Caroline E. Childs, PhD, of the University of Reading, United Kingdom. Childs and her colleagues asked 37 seniors to participate in a four-phase study to test the effects of a specific probiotic, Bifidobacterium lactis. Each phase of the study lasted three weeks and was separated by a four-week washout period, intended to avoid overlapping effects. During the four phases, participants received supplements containing the prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharide (which bacteria use as a food source), B. lactis, a combination of B. lactis and the prebiotic, and maltodextrin as a placebo. The B. lactis dose contained 1 billion CFUs (colony forming units). Among other things, the researchers looked at the phagocytosis of white blood cells—that is, how well the white blood cells attacked and digested disease-causing bacteria or infected cells. Childs and her colleagues reported that the B. lactis significantly increased the phagocytic index, or activity, of two important types of white blood cells, monocytes and granulocytes. The researchers noted one other finding. Although most studies of probiotics in adults found that a four-week washout was sufficient, it was not in the seniors. Instead, they seemed to retain the probiotics for a longer time. Reference: Maneerat S, Lehtinen MJ, Childs CE, et al. Consumption of Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 by healthy elderly adults enhances phagocytic activity of monocytes and granulocytes. Journal of Nutritional Science, 2013: doi 10.1017/jns.2013.31.

Vitamin C May Reduce Risk of Some Strokes Vitamin C is needed for the formation of collagen, a protein necessary for the integrity of blood-vessel walls. In hemorrhagic stroke, which accounts for about 10 percent of all strokes, a blood vessel in the brain ruptures. A researcher at Pontchaillous University Hospital, France, and his colleagues measured vitamin C levels in 135 subjects, 65 of whom had previously suﬀered a hemorrhagic stroke. Vitamin C levels in the stroke patients were signiﬁcantly lower than in the healthy subjects. Kimlin MG. American Journal of Epidemiology, 2014: 179:864-874.

LOTS OF PROMISES, LITTLE ACTION ON 14 CAMPUSES USA TODAY College staff

acial slurs. Harassment. The N-word. A history of racism. This and more galvanized University of Missouri students, led by student activist group Concerned Student 1950, late last October and on through November to demand profound changes in the systematic racism they say pervades their campus. Among their demands: the resignation of then-University of Missouri System president Tom Wolfe and chancellor of the flagship campus, R. Bowen Loftin, for doing too little to combat the problems. They resigned Nov. 9. Demand for change was

sparked nationwide as rallies, demonstrations and sit-ins took place at more than 100 schools and universities. Now, some four months later, a sampling of 14 schools shows many universities have promised more diversity, but few concrete actions have been put forward. Of the 14 schools, some have approved diversity plans already in the works, while four have a task force, working group or committee working on such issues, and one has scheduled a retreat to do the same. In an interview with USA TODAY, Michael Middleton, interim president for the University of Missouri system, said the Board of Curators ordered there be a full-time campus diversity, equity and

inclusion officer on each of the four campuses, and a systemlevel chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer is being hired. Additionally, a diversity requirement for all incoming students has been instituted. But while many specifics have yet to materialize — at Mizzou, Concerned Student 1950 re-released eight of its original demands on Feb. 4 — some have taken shape. Of the 14 schools, three have announced new diversity officers, and one has a search firm looking for one. Two have dedicated centers to diversity and racial issues. One has renamed two buildings named after former university presidents who authorized the sale of slaves. v STORY CONTINUES ON 3B

A fierce debate is playing out in state capitals throughout the country over which bathrooms and locker rooms transgender students in public schools should use. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard faces a Tuesday deadline to act on a bill passed by the state legislature that would require students to use bathrooms or locker rooms for the gender that corresponds with their “chromosomes and anatomy” at birth. If Daugaard, a Republican, doesn’t sign or veto the bill by that date, it automatically goes into effect and becomes the firstof-its kind law in the country. He v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

visit to Washington. NATO needs more “boots on the ground,” increased and larger

military exercises, deployment of equipment and the strengthening of air defenses, he said. Such steps seem unlikely, based on a report released Thursday by the Atlantic Council think tank. The report said the military preparedness of major NATO members is so deficient that some would have difficulty fielding troops in an emergency. The United Kingdom’s military has been “hollowed out to such an extent that the deployment of a brigade, let alone a division, at credible readiness would be a major challenge,” Benitez wrote. Rinkevics said the security

challenge began with Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in April 2014. Since then, Russia has launched a military buildup in Kaliningrad, home to Russia’s Baltic Sea fleet, and increased mobilizations near NATO’s borders, including, Rinkevics said, a helicopter base a few miles from Latvia’s border and offensive drills on breaking NATO defenses and occupying Baltic countries. These exercises typically culminate with simulated use of nuclear weapons, according to a briefing provided to USA TODAY by the Potomac Foundation think tank.

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen

Sanders seeks minorities’ backing v CONTINUED FROM 1B

@coopallen USA TODAY

Another win for Donald Trump and a debate performance that could position Marco Rubio for strong finishes in Super Tuesday and beyond. Top news from the world of politics: TRUMP LOVES ‘THE POORLY EDUCATED’ Trump scored a big win on Tuesday — his third in a row — in Nevada, capturing the support of nearly 46% of caucusgoers, nearly double the number who backed the second-place finisher, Rubio. The New York billionaire was the preferred candidate across the demographic spectrum, a fact he touted during his victory speech in Las Vegas. “We won the evangelicals,” he said. “We won with young. We won with old.” Then, in not exactly the most elegant phrasing, he said: “We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.” Indeed, Trump was the choice of 57% of caucusgoers who had a high school education or less, according to entrance polls. Trump is fond of pointing out that he’s anything but poorly educated, having graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Bracing for the loss, Sanders has been hitting Clinton on issues important to African Americans, including criminal-justice reform. With merely days before larger, delegate-rich states like Texas and Georgia vote Tuesday, the Vermont senator needs to expand his support among minorities. Yet exit surveys show why South Carolina is emblematic of Sanders’ challenge ahead. Six in 10 South Carolina Democratic primary voters were AfricanAmerican, the exit polls indicated, breaking the state’s 55% record from eight years ago, when then-Sen. Barack Obama was on the ballot. Clinton dominated among black voters, capturing the support of more than four out of five. In contrast to Iowa and New Hampshire, many more South Carolina voters also consider themselves moderates looking for a candidate with experience in politics rather than an “outsider.” In another positive sign for Clinton, more voters think she is honest than say so about Sanders. A sizable victory Saturday sets Clinton on a path to winning a series of southern states, where polls show she’s favored. Obama’s big margin of victory in South Carolina eight years ago was critical in putting him on a path to the

Bernie Sanders speaks Saturday at a campaign rally in Grand Prairie, Texas, one of the Super Tuesday primaries states. nomination. Clinton made a significant investment in the state, appealing in particular to African American women with her campaign’s “barber shop” strategy. Clinton hit hard on issues important to African-American voters, including criminal justice and gun control, while also embracing President Obama. She met with mothers of gun violence victims and picked up the support of Clyburn, the state’s highest-ranking black Democrat. Clyburn stayed neutral ahead of the 2008 pri-

mary. She held town halls on “breaking down barriers” for blacks, carpeted the state with ads and deployed both her daughter, Chelsea, and husband, former president Bill Clinton. In her victory speech, Clinton also sought to juxtapose her campaign not with Sanders, but with the Republican Donald Trump, calling at least twice for more “love and kindness.” Despite Saturday’s loss, Sanders’ campaign sees an opportunity in Super Tuesday states such

as Massachusetts and Oklahoma, with its large percentage of independent voters, as well as Colorado and Minnesota, both caucus states that come later in March. Sanders is also still flush with campaign cash, pulling in millions of dollars in new contributions. And, even if he loses the nomination, amassing a significant number of delegates would empower him to elevate the issues he cares about most, such as campaign finance reform, at the July Democratic convention in Cleveland. In the past couple days, the senator has taken a more critical tone toward Clinton. At a rally in Orangeburg, he attacked Clinton’s support for the death penalty as well as 1990s-era welfare reform — charged topics in African-American communities. “I just don’t think the government should be involved in that violence and should be killing people,” he said, stating that Clinton disagrees. He also cited the fact that a lot of innocent “people of color” have been executed.

Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign capitalizes on moment.

RUBIO TAKES ON TRUMP AT DEBATE The Florida senator came out swinging at the GOP front-runner Thursday night in Houston, slamming him for his past use of illegal workers from Poland, for repeating the same lines on health care and for being a product of his inheritance. Trump would be “selling watches in Manhattan” if not for the money he inherited, Rubio said. The Rubio campaign soon capitalized on the moment, offering $10 broken Trump watches on its website. Trump took to Twitter on Friday to lash out at Rubio, calling him a “lightweight choker” who “looks like a little boy on stage.” Rubio has finished second to Trump in the previous two contests of South Carolina and Nevada, and the feisty debate battle offered a preview of where the GOP race may be headed.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has until Tuesday to act on a bathroom bill. “I have my own set of values,” he says.

States follow actions on local level v CONTINUED FROM 1B

hasn’t disclosed the decision he will make. In all, more than two dozen similar bills have been filed in state legislatures across the country in the first two months of 2016, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. “This is the new frontier in the battle over LGBT rights,” said Paul Brewer, a political scientist at the University of Delaware who studies public opinion on LGBT issues. In addition to South Dakota, “bathroom law” fights have been launched in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. uIn Oklahoma, legislators introduced a bill that withholds state aid if a parent files a merited complaint that a school district has allowed a student to use a sex-segregated bathroom or changing facility that doesn’t align with the student’s gender at birth. uA proposal introduced last month in Virginia would require local school boards to develop policies that require restrooms and locker rooms to be used only by “individuals whose anatomical sex matches” the gender designation of the facilities. Students violating the policy could face fines up to $50. uIn Washington state, a Senate committee approved a bill last month that would reverse the state’s 2-month-old policy that allows transgender people to use bathrooms and locker rooms in public buildings that are consistent with their gender identity. “What this amounts to is legis-

lators saying ‘we didn’t win the gay marriage fight, so let’s go after someone else,’ ” said Ashley Joubert-Gaddis, director of operations at The Center for Equality, a Sioux Falls, S.D., advocacy group lobbying Daugaard to veto the proposed bathroom law. Polling shows Americans overwhelmingly back laws providing transgender people protections from discrimination in schools and the workplace, but the country is more divided when questioned about the issue of access to bathrooms and locker rooms. With about 25% of respondents saying they were uncertain about the issue, a YouGov/Huffington Post poll published last summer showed Americans opposed by a razor-thin margin, 38%-37%, to allowing transgender people to use bathrooms and locker rooms different than the gender they were assigned at birth. The issue has been put into sharp focus after a series of highprofile battles at the local level. In Houston, conservative groups last year waged a successful effort to repeal an anti-discrimination ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on race, age, sexual orientation and gender identity. Opponents to the ordinance launched an advertising campaign that argued the policy would lead to male predators preying on women in bathrooms. A suburban Chicago school district agreed in December to accommodate a transgender student who wanted to use the girls’ locker room after the district was threatened of being stripped of funding on the grounds it was violating Title IX, a federal law that

bans sex discrimination. The agreement in Palatine, Ill., came more than two years after the school district in Arcadia, Calif., entered an agreement with the Justice and Education Departments to rewrite policies after a transgender student who identified as a boy brought a complaint against the district for being forced to sleep in a camp cabin separate from his classmates during a field trip. In at least two cases, courts have rejected access arguments. A federal judge last year ruled a transgender student at the Uni-

law to require school districts into new locker room policies, they should do it through the democratic process and let people, through their representatives, create a new class of general identity.” Advocates for allowing transgender students to use restrooms that conform with their gender identity say it’s crucial for the safety and well-being of the students. Sasha Buchert, staff attorney for the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco, noted the Los Angeles Unified School District,

“This is the new frontier in the battle over LGBT rights.” Paul Brewer, a political scientist at the University of Delaware

versity of Pittsburgh had no claim of discrimination after he was expelled for using men’s bathrooms and locker rooms on campus. Another federal judge rejected a transgender Virginia teenager’s request for the court to compel his high school to allow him to use the boys’ bathrooms. Both decisions have been appealed. Roger Severino, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the conservative Heritage Foundation, charged the Obama administration “has used a regulatory sleight of hand to go around the will of the people.” “The Department of Education is doing violence to the law when it reinterprets sex to mean gender identity,” Severino said. “When Title IX was passed in 1972, sex was commonly understood to be an objective reality referencing biology. If the administration wants to use force of

an early adopter of permitting transgender students use of sexsegregated spaces that conform with their gender identities, hasn’t reported any problems. “There’s often a disconnect when you talk about sex-specific spaces and behavior,” Buchert said. “All schools have policies in place to handle misbehavior. The kind of fears that are raised about allowing trans students to access spaces has just not borne out.” Daugaard has met with transgender activists to discuss the pending bathroom law and faced public calls from transgender celebrities Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner to veto the bill. Daugaard told reporters that meeting with activists helped him “see things through their eyes a little better.” But he added, “I have my own set of values and in the end I’ll make my own decisions.”

Emory University students participate in a mass “die-in” Dec. 4 while protesting grand juries’ inaction involving police-involved deaths.

CAMPUS PROTESTS RESULT IN FEW CHANGES v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Here’s an overview of what happened and a look at what’s happening now.

WE ARE DONE

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, TUSCALOOSA

uThe protests: On Nov. 18, We Are Done, a coalition of students and faculty, released demands ranging from the creation of a division of diversity and equity, to the renaming of buildings named after “white supremacists, Klansmen, Confederate generals and Eugenicists,” according to The Crimson White. At a Nov. 19 demonstration, issues including the apparent racism in the university’s sorority system were touched on. Students have also protested “The Machine,” a white, secret society believed to wield political clout on campus. uWhat’s happening now: An Intercultural Diversity Center opened Feb. 1. Discussions about systematic racism continue, including a program Feb. 7. No name changes have been made to the buildings, according to The Crimson White, but some students are trying again: On Feb. 22, a Change.org petition was started to rename Morgan Hall — dedicated in 1911 to Alabama senator and Ku Klux Klan leader John Tyler Morgan — to Lee Hall, after UA alumna Harper Lee, who died Feb. 19. Sean Speers and Taylor Maycan

‘WE STAND WITH YOU’

BOSTON UNIVERSITY

uThe protests: Hundreds of students assembled Nov. 13 at a Blackout: Mizzou We Stand With You demonstration to express unity with the Mizzou protesters. On Dec. 2, BU President Robert Brown wrote an email to the BU community announcing efforts to build “a society and a university community that is inclusive, equitable, free of oppression, and welcoming.” It made four “commitments,” including the building of a diverse student body and a university-wide general education program that includes an “understanding diversity” component. A Diversity and Inclusion Task Force was created to tackle these and other issues. uWhat’s happening now: The task force has announced plans to submit a final report on May 1, according to The Daily Free Press. Several students who are part of the Student Curriculum Committee, “a newly formed group dedicated to addressing concerns of underrepresented groups at BU,” have disagreed with the proposal.

3#FORDHALL2015

BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY, WALTHAM, MASS.

uThe protests: Concerned Students of #FordHall2015 held a sit-in that began Nov. 19. Students provided a list of 13 demands. It ended Dec. 1, when interim university President Lisa Lynch announced a new draft implementation plan that she wrote alongside student negotiators. The plan addressed all but one of Ford Hall 2015’s original demands.

uWhat’s happening now: At a faculty meeting in early February, Lynch said Brandeis is “considering bids from various search firms to select the new Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion,” reported The Justice. Abby Patkin, The Justice

STUDENT UNION 4BLACK UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY

uThe protests: Hundreds of students and community members, organized by UC-Berkeley’s Black Student Union, rallied Nov. 18 to support Mizzou and to protest the underrepresentation of black students on campus, reported The Daily Californian. While protests and demands earlier in the year resulted in the African American Initiative, launched in September, the Black Student Union released new demands on Nov. 22 that noted “students at Cal State LA have been, and still are, consistently made the targets of racist attacks by fellow students, faculty, and administration.” uWhat’s happening now: The African American Initiative includes improving the recruitment of African-American students and other ethnic minorities, efforts to improve the classroom climate and an increase in faculty diversity.

CLAREMONT MCKENNA COLLEGE, CLAREMONT, CALIF.

uThe protests: On Nov. 11, a group of over 100 students led by CMCers of Color demonstrated on campus protesting the lack of support they believe is given to students of color, reported The Forum. Contributing to the climate was a letter to then-dean of students Mary Spellman in October written by a student from an immigrant Mexican family who said she felt marginalized at the school. Spellman responded that she’s trying to better serve students who don’t fit the “CMC mold.” On Nov. 12, Spellman stepped down. The school appointed Jeff Huang as interim dean of Students and then in January appointed Torrey Sun. uWhat’s happening now: The Associated Students of Claremont McKenna — the school’s student government — confirmed Patrick Elliott as the first Diversity and Inclusion chair on Feb. 9.

uThe protests: A Blackout march on Nov. 12 was held in solidarity with students of color nationwide. When some took the demonstration to the library, reports alleged protesters had resorted to violence and racial slurs. An investigation by Dartmouth found no credibility to the accusations. The office of the vice provost for Academic Initiatives released its first annual report on faculty diversity on Jan. 7 (the initiative started in the spring). uWhat’s happening now: In early February, the creation of three working groups to tackle issues of diversity and inclusivity

was announced. Two days later, reports The Dartmouth, the school’s NAACP organization sent a campus-wide email calling the plan ambiguous. Alexandra Samuels

STUDENTS AT EMORY 7BLACK EMORY UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA

uThe protests: On Nov. 11, Black Students at Emory staged a protest that also marked the third time black students made demands of the university, each separated by over two decades. On Nov. 24, Atlanta Black Students United Coalition — made up of students at seven schools, including Emory, Morehouse College and Georgia State University — led a protest in downtown Atlanta to demand equality on campuses nationwide. On Dec. 4, over 200 Emory students held a “die-in” outside of the university’s theology center. Emory President James Wagner issued a Statement of Commitment to Diversity and Inclusivity on Nov. 24. A Racial Justice Retreat in January, to discuss a plan of action, was canceled due to “inclement weather.” uWhat’s happening now: “Campus Life and student leaders are continuing to work together to address issues related to student demands with the common goal of advancing greater racial justice at Emory,” Elaine Justice, Emory’s associate director of media relations, tells The Emory Wheel. The Racial Justice Retreat was rescheduled for Friday. Zach Hudak and Elana Cates, The Emory Wheel

JUSTICE COALITION 11SOCIAL PURDUE UNIVERSITY, WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.

uThe protests: On Nov. 11, more than 100 students gathered in solidarity with Mizzou activists as well as to protest alleged racism on campus. Purdue President Mitch Daniels released a statement praising Purdue’s inclusivity efforts and saying, “What a proud contrast to the environments that appear to prevail at places like Missouri and Yale” — which was not received well by students who felt his remarks brushed off the pressing issues at Purdue. On the 13th, several hundred students gathered for a walkout and, on the 17th, the Purdue Social Justice Coalition presented a list of 13 demands to Daniels, according to The Exponent. In January, Daniels said a “majority of the proposals … such as the recruitment of more minority students and faculty” will be acted on. uWhat’s happening now: Racial issues were brought to the forefront in mid-February when Purdue Students for Life posted controversial fliers and wrote messages in chalk with messages such as “Most dangerous place 4 African American — Womb #BlackLivesMatter” and “Civil Rights Begins in Womb.” A sit-in was staged in response by a new organization, the Purdue Intersectional Feminist Alliance.

Arab in Israeli parliament sparks an outcry Defense of attacks on Jews by Palestinians fuels a divisive bill Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY

Hanin Zoabi, an Israeli Arab, believes Israeli Jews are colonialists who stole Palestinian land. She makes no distinction between the recent deaths of Israeli civilians and their attackers, calling both “victims of the Israeli occupation.” Those are typical views of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, as well as some Arab citizens of Israel like Zoabi. But for her to make such comments strikes many Jews as incendiary — because she is also a member of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Zoabi’s verbal attacks have sparked questions among Jews here about her loyalty to Israel — as well as the loyalty of the other 16 Israeli Arabs in the Knesset — at a time when Israel is confronting months of attacks on Jews by Palestinians. “The main criminal here is the occupation, the oppression of the Palestinian people,” Zoabi said in an interview. “If we want to defend the people, Jewish and PalJERUSALEM

estinian, we must struggle against occupation and Israeli aggression.” Israel’s Arab citizens make up 21% of the population, but suspicions about them among Jewish citizens have soared in recent months because a handful of Israeli Arabs were among the more than 100 Palestinians who have

attacked Israeli civilians and soldiers. Hostilities escalated in February after Zoabi and two other Israeli-Arab lawmakers met with families of Palestinian attackers killed by Israeli security forces. The three stood for a moment of silence in memory of the attackers to focus attention on Israel’s refusal to hand over the

bodies for burial. “We sat with bereaved families that lost their sons and daughters, and anyone who would differentiate between” Israeli and Palestinian “families would be a racist,” Zoabi said. Angered by the visit, the Knesset’s Ethics Committee temporarily banned the three lawmakers from most parliamentary activities, and the Constitution Committee greenlighted a bill that would empower 90 of the 120 lawmakers to suspend a fellow member for “inappropriate” behavior. Under the controversial bill, which should come up for a vote in the coming weeks, voicing racist ideology or support for armed conflict against Israel could lead to a suspension. So could opposition to the long-enshrined definition of Israel as both a democratic and Jewish state. Opponents of the measure, including Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, consider it blatantly undemocratic. Barak Medina, an expert in constitutional law at Hebrew University, said the debate over the bill exposes the friction between Israeli Jews and Arabs. “Twenty percent of the population is affiliated with an ethnicity, which is formally an enemy,” he said. “They feel the very estab-

lishment of the state of Israel was a nakba, a disaster. So there is inherent tension.” Knesset member Aymen Odeh, who heads the Joint List, a coalition of Arab parties that form the third-largest bloc in the parliament, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of fomenting fear against Arab citizens by sponsoring the legislation. “Why is he inciting against Arabs and their leaders? Because we may be the votes that decide who will be the next prime minister,” Odeh said. While Odeh condemned the Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians, he stopped short of condemning violence against soldiers and Israeli settlers living on occupied West Bank land that Palestinians claim is theirs. “The Palestinian struggle is a just struggle against the occupation,” he said. Zoabi, with her pro-Palestinian sentiments and firebrand style, accused Israeli Jews of trying to “delete” Palestinians’ historical ties to the land. “They forget they immigrated to me, that I didn’t immigrate to them,” she said, discounting Jews’ own historical ties to the territory. “Despite ... the fact they stole my home and my homeland, I’m representing their vision of justice and democracy.”

Shedding light on honor killings Oscar-honored documentary shows tragic Pakistani rite Naila Inayat

Special for USA TODAY LAHORE , PAKISTAN

Four years ago, an online wedding video that went viral cost three of Afzal Kohistani’s brothers their lives. The video showed two brothers dancing as women clapped at a wedding party in a northern Pakistan village. A council of elders issued a death sentence against the pair, as well as four women and a 12-year-old girl. Their crime: bringing dishonor on their families by violating a strict local code against men and women mingling. Relatives of the women could not find the two brothers, who went into hiding, so they killed three of Kohistani’s other brothers — along with the women and girl. “In these last four years, there hasn’t been a single day when I haven’t asked the question, ‘What did they do wrong?’ ” said Kohistani, 27. People around the world may be asking similar questions as a result of a Pakistani documentary film that is up for an Oscar Sunday night. Girl in the River by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy tells the story of Pakistani teenager Saba Qaiser, who survived an honorkilling attempt the hands of her father and uncle after she married against their wishes. Around 500 people, mostly women and girls, died in honor killings last year, usually for alleged infidelity and refusing to submit to arranged marriages, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has won an Oscar and two Emmys for documentaries about the Pakistani culture.

the actual number of victims in orthodox Muslim communities is far higher than officially reported, especially in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “So-called ‘honor killings’ take place in virtually every part of Pakistan, urban or rural, developed or underdeveloped, all social classes, castes, ethnicities, sects,” said Rubina Saigol, a rights activist in Lahore. “Pakistan has not moved forward significantly with regard to violence against women and discriminatory laws despite an increased number of women in parliament and government.” Saigol said many “honor killings” are really about something else. “Honor is simply the excuse used to cover up the crime, which is often for seizing property and settling economic and other disputes,” she said. The release of Girl in the River prompted Pakistani officials to claim they are redoubling efforts to end the practice. “There is no honor in honor killing,” Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said at a screening of the film at his office Monday. Obaid-Chinoy, who has won an Oscar and two Emmys for documentaries about the Pakistani Taliban and acid attacks against women, said the practice flouts Islamic traditions that revere women. “There is a fundamental recognition that honor killings have no place in a religion that gives women such an elevated status,” she said at the screening. Asma Jahangir, a human rights attorney in Lahore, credits authorities for being more aggressive in prosecuting honor killing cases than 15 years ago. “In the past, political parties and the judiciary justified honor killings, but no longer,” said Jahangir.

“There has been a shift. The laws have been strengthened but social behaviors are difficult to change.” A 2014 case that garnered international attention shows how ingrained honor killings are. Farzana Parveen, 30 and pregnant, was stoned to death by her father and other male relatives for marrying the man she loved instead of her cousin. Her father and other relatives were sentenced to death for the killing.

“This is what differentiates us from the West. We can discipline our daughters according to our rules.” Khalid Muneed, whose pregnant niece was stoned to death by relatives

Yet an uncle defended what they did. “It is the prerogative of the men in the family to decide the future of their daughter,” said Khalid Muneed, who did not participate in the stoning. “I don’t see anything wrong with this mind-set. This is what differentiates us from the West. We can discipline our daughters according to our rules.” In the wedding video case, a court sentenced one killer to death and five others to life in prison for the murders of Kohistani’s three brothers. Nobody has been brought to justice for the deaths of the women, whose bodies have not been found.

IN BRIEF WOMAN CHARGED WITH GIVING GUNS TO SHOOTER

Investigators said Friday that the gunman who opened fire at a Kansas factory where he worked received a court order 90 minutes before the rampage and obtained the two weapons used in the attack from a friend. Sarah Hopkins, 28, of Newton, Kan., is charged with one count of knowingly transferring a firearm to a convicted felon. Prosecutors allege Hopkins, a friend of Cedric Ford, knew about his criminal history before giving him the semiautomatic rifle and handgun he used in the rampage that left three dead and 14 others wounded. The Wichita Eagle reported Hopkins is the mother of Ford’s two children. She moved out of her home with Ford in July and retrieved the guns from the house less than a month later with the help of police, the Eagle reported, citing an affidavit in the case. Shortly thereafter, Hopkins gave the guns back to Ford “because Ford had threatened her,” the paper reported. — Bart Jansen

Yemeni security officials say Saudi-led airstrikes targeting Shiite rebels have killed at least 30 people, mostly civilians, in a district outside the capital, Sanaa, the Associated Press reported. They say the Saturday raid hit

a popular market area in the Nihm district, killing at least 22 civilians and leaving burned bodies strewn over the area. The officials, who are neutral in a conflict that has split the armed forces, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters, the AP reported.

Hunters captured 106 Burmese pythons during the 2016 Python Challenge, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Over 1,000 hunters participated in the state-sanctioned hunt, wildlife officials said Saturday. The longest snake was 15 feet, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission said on Twitter. The snakes can grow to 20 feet and eat and compete with endangered and threatened native species. Burmese pythons have been living in the historic Everglades for at least two decades, establishing breeding populations and spreading throughout South Florida’s state and federal preserves and parks. — Chad Gillis, The (Fort Myers, Fla.)

HUGE STAKES ON SUPER TUESDAY After a month of contests where the name of the game was to gain momentum and survive, the 2016 presidential race becomes about one thing on Tuesday: delegates. A dozen states will hold primaries and caucuses across the country, though Super Tuesday will have a distinctly Southern feel with Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas (the biggest prize of all) holding primaries.

Gov. Bob Bentley endorsed John Kasich last August, but Kasich will have his work cut out for him in a state that in past GOP contests supported evangelical favorites Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee.

Only Republicans will caucus on Super Tuesday, and Donald Trump enjoys the support of the most famous Alaskan of them all: former governor Sarah Palin.

In the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton will be a favorite to win the state where she was first lady for 12 years.

The GOP opted against holding a presidential preference poll at its caucus, while Clinton enjoys the support of the state’s top two Democrats: Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Michael Bennet.

One recent poll showed Clinton leading Bernie Sanders by a whopping 52 points in the Peach State, while Trump leads Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz by around a dozen in pre-primary surveys.

Sanders will need a win here to get a boost out of Super Tuesday, while Trump will be favored in a state that neighbors New Hampshire, where he scored his first big win.

Rubio spent part of Nevada caucus day campaigning in the state and has the support of two of the state’s U.S. House members. Sanders also spent time campaigning here, though Clinton is backed by the state’s top Democratic officials.

Clinton won big here in 2008, but Sanders has shown surprising strength. And given its proximity to his home state of Texas, Cruz will likely need a strong finish on the GOP side.

Strong finishes in most Super Tuesday states could give Trump a lead among delegates that could be difficult to overcome.

For obvious reasons, Cruz needs a big win in the Lone Star State, both for its symbolism as his home state and for its huge delegate haul. For the Democrats, Clinton has held large leads against Sanders.

Sanders is expected to be in his home state Super Tuesday night and will be looking for a decisive victory. Trump, meanwhile, will be favored for the GOP.

Rubio ads have blanketed the airwaves, but he’ll likely be an underdog to Trump. Clinton lost here in 2008, but could be boosted by the support of Gov. Terry McAuliffe, her campaign chairman eight years ago.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE PLASTIC DELUSION uIn a nutshell: According to a NerdWallet study, consumers aren’t fibbing just a little when it comes to their credit card balances. Government data show them reporting a total of $415 billion less than they actually owe. uThe numbers: As of December 2013, lenders reported about $683 billion in outstanding credit card debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Borrowers, on the other hand, reported only about $268 billion when asked for the Federal Reserve’s 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances. uThe stigma: When NerdWallet dug into the reasons behind this reporting disparity, it found that the stigma surrounding credit card debt may be a leading cause of underreporting.

assive changes are coming to America’s malls as retailers transform to fight back against the wild popularity of online shopping. Big-box and traditional department stores are closing stores or refocusing them to take advantage of changes in retailing. And increased competition is giving rise to savvy specialty chains. Walmart, Sears, J.C. Penney and The Gap are among the chains that have announced widespread store closings. And chains like H&M, Zara and Primark, which specialize in rapid turnover of stylish yet inexpensive goods, are rising, powered by constantly updated fast-fashion formulas that keep customers interested when they can always go online for just about any purchase. The simultaneous store closures and openings is the cyclical nature of retail. But the industry is coping with a phenomenon forcing change like never before. Online and mobile shopping is surging, and buying habits — especially among younger shoppers — have changed to favor experiences over physical stuff. “As consumers shift more and more to online purchasing, retailers are stepping back and looking at right-sizing their portfolios,” says Michael Brown, head of the retail practice at consulting firm A.T. Kearney. “How many stores are required ... is still yet to be understood over the next three to five years.” Some retail consultants say more than 1,000 stores in the U.S. is too many for any chain. J.C. Penney has 1,020 stores; Walmart, as the largest retailer in the country, has more than 4,600, Sears has about 1,700 Sears and Kmart stores. Other legacy companies like Macy’s are on the verge of excess with more than 700 locations. “Anybody with a store count of over 800 stores in a mall is reduc-

NEW BREED OF RETAILERS OFFSETS STORE CLOSINGS As online and mobile shopping surges, Millennials change scope of shopping

MARK RALSTON, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

A woman walks past a recently shuttered Walmart store in Los Angeles’ Chinatown last month. This year, Walmart announced it would close 154 U.S. stores.

“Anybody with a store count of over 800 stores in a mall is reducing store count.” Ken Nisch, chairman of retail marketing consulting firm JGA

ing store count,” says Ken Nisch, chairman of retail marketing consulting firm JGA. One of the reasons is many of the stores are no longer profitable. This year, Walmart announced it would close 154 U.S. stores. Macy’s will close 36. Sears said it

would speed up the closure of 50. Last year, J.C. Penney closed 39 stores; Macy’s closed 14; Gap closed 140; teen apparel brand Aeropostale closed 126; and Abercrombie closed about 60. These companies have one thing in common: They matured and saturated the market in a less competitive time for retail, before online shopping shifted the sales dynamic; now, they are trying to reverse course and keep shoppers, and investors, happy with leaner business models that put digital capabilities and superior customer service at the forefront. But don’t count out traditional chains. Even as they shed stores,

Zara, this one in Shanghai, entered the U.S. market in 1989 and has slowly expanded to 62, with flagship stores in New York and Hawaii.

chains like Macy’s and Walmart are opening new ones. In some cases, they are following the same path as the popular discounters and up-and-coming value-based brands. Macy’s, for instance, is venturing into the off-price space with stores called Macy’s Backstage. It opened six last year. In others, they are following trends they have discovered within their own businesses. Walmart may be closing all of its smaller Express stores but has found continuing popularity for its largest stores and Neighborhood Markets, which are smaller stores focused on fresh grocery items and pharmacy services. It will open between 50 and 60 supercenters and 85 to 95 Neighborhood Markets this fiscal year. Many of the changes reflect demographic shifts and stores stuck in locations that are now less desirable, says McGee. This is the time of year when store closures are typically at their peak, following the holiday rush. But don’t expect those glaring empty spaces in malls to stay empty for long, especially considering that overall consumer spending remains robust. Occupancy rates in shopping centers stood at 93.2% in the fourth quarter of 2015, according to ICSC data. That’s the highest year-end reading since the fourth quarter of 2007 when the occupancy rate was 94%. Some specialty chains are hungry for store space. Sweden’s fastfashion brand H&M plans to open 21 stores in the U.S. this year after opening 57 last year. (It has 416 stores in the U.S.) Primark, a United Kingdom fast-fashion brand that made its U.S. debut in September in Boston, plans nine more by the end of this year. Zara’s has been relatively slower given it first entered the U.S. market in 1989, but it still opened nine stores last year to bring its count to 62, including two new flagship locations in New York and Hawaii.

Buffett optimistic despite campaign rhetoric Says babies born today are ‘luckiest crop in history’ Bart Jansen USA TODAY

In his much-anticipated annual letter to stockholders, Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, touched on the company’s performance, the election year and even used a clever quirk likening business moves to a Woody Allen one-liner. In 2015, Berkshire’s net worth grew $15.4 billion, or 6.4%, the Oracle of Omaha said. In the wide-ranging letter, Buffett, who preaches investment in a diversified collection of companies rather than securities, remains an optimist despite complaints about the 2% pace of economic growth. “It’s an election year, and candidates can’t stop speaking about our country’s problems (which, of course, only they can solve). As a

result of this negative drumbeat, many Americans now believe that their children will not live as well as they themselves do,” said Buffett, 85. “That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history.” Buffett’s statements are closely watched because since 1965, the per-share book value of Berkshire has compounded an average 19.2% per year, compared with the S&P 500’s 9.7% with dividends included. The overall book value rose from $19 per share to $155,501 during that period. Among the letter’s highlights: uThe railroad BNSF, which carries 17% of the country’s freight, improved its service with a $5.8 billion investment after a poor performance in 2014. “It was money well spent,” Buffett wrote. He called BNSF part of the company’s “Powerhouse Five,” a group that also includes Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Marmon, Lubrizol and IMC. Combined, these companies — Berkshire’s

five most profitable non-insurance businesses — earned $13.1 billion in 2015, an increase of $650 million over 2014, Buffett wrote. u Berkshire bought Precision Castparts Corp., which supplies

aerospace parts, a month ago for more than $32 billion in cash. With that acquisition, Berkshire owns more than 10 companies that would populate the Fortune 500 if they were stand-alone businesses, Buffett wrote. u Dozens of smaller non-insurance businesses earned $5.7 billion last year, up from $5.1 billion in 2014, Buffett said. “We love them all: This collection of businesses will expand both in number and earnings as the years go by,” Buffett wrote. uBerkshire Hathaway Energy invested $16 billion in renewables and now owns 7% of the country’s wind generation and 6% of solar generation, Buffett wrote. With the international commitment of the Paris Climate Change Conference, more investment is expected. “We’re not done,” he wrote. uInsurance underwriting was profitable for the 13th year in a row in 2015, Buffett wrote. “Without a doubt, Berkshire’s largest unrecorded wealth lies in its insurance business,” Buffett

wrote. Investors were especially eager to hear about the “dirty dozen” of his 15 largest holdings — including American Express, Wells Fargo and International Business Machines — that are down a combined nearly $13 billion during the past 12 months, according to a USA TODAY analysis from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Berkshire Class A shares closed at $198,191 on Friday, down 0.36% or $709. The shares are down 10.9% during the past year. But Berkshire increased its ownership interest last year in each of its “Big Four” investments – American Express, CocaCola, IBM and Wells Fargo, Buffett said. IBM ownership went to 8.4% from 7.8%; Wells Fargo, to 9.8% from 9.4%; Coca-Cola, to 9.3% from 9.2%; and American Express, to 15.6% from 14.8%, Buffett said. Each percentage point in ownership increased Berkshire’s portion of earnings about $500 million, Buffett wrote.

BIG 12TH! KANSAS 67, TEXAS TECH 58

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD CHEICK DIALLO, GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM AND THE REST OF THE JAYHAWKS HOIST THE LEAGUE TROPHY as they celebrate locking up a share of their 12th-straight Big 12 title with a 67-58 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks streak to league crown By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball players Aaron Miles and Jeff Hawkins — accompanied by a trailing Wayne Simien — delivered the 2015-16 Big 12 championship trophy out of the northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse into the hands of sophomore guard Devonté Graham at the conclusion of Saturday’s KU-Texas Tech game in Allen Fieldhouse. To the delight of 16,300 fans who remained in their seats after the final buzzer sounded in KU’s 67-58 league-title-clinching victory over the Red Raiders, members of coach Bill Self’s first league-title team at KU celebrated with players who had just assured the program’s 12th conference crown in a row.

Svi’s emergence makes KU better

“That was kind of cool. I think they all three were probably fighting over it, wanting their day in the sun (carrying the hardware),” Self joked after his league champs improved to 25-4 overall, 13-3 in the Big 12. Tech fell to 18-10, 8-8. The Jayhawks took turns hoisting the trophy before senior Jamari Traylor placed it center court in front of a table on which sat 11 other trophies that constitute KU’s current streak of 12 league titles, one off UCLA’s all-time record 13 straight Pac-10 crowns. “What an accomplishment by this team,” Self said. “It was nice to see the fans stick around. Usually I don’t like doing stuff like that, but they (Jayhawks) KANSAS GUARD SVI MYKHAILIUK (10) PUTS UP A THREE over Texas Tech guard Devaugntah deserve it.” Williams. Mykhailiuk was 5-for-5 from beyond Please see KANSAS, page 4C the arc.

Svi Mykhailiuk has taken his act, in the past seen mostly in practice, and gone public with it. As a result, an already strong Kansas University basketball roster has become deeper, smoother, more dangerous. Svi’s late-season surge equates to a contending major-league baseball team adding a hired gun for the stretch run and postseason. A more consistent Johnny Cueto in sneakers. Svi made all five of his three-point shots and led Kansas with 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday’s 67-58 victory against Texas Tech. A ninegame winning streak, 12 consecutive Big 12 titles, a hired gun joining the mix. Nobody will dispute KU’s No. 1 ranking when the Associated Press college basketball poll is released Monday.

“He looks like a pro,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I mean, he looks like a pro to me. The way he played at K-State, those were as good of plays, I mean goodlooking plays, as anybody’s made for us this year. Jumping up shooting threes in transition, confident.” Svi’s smooth gait, speed and classic jump-shot form have hinted at future production, but the shots didn’t start dropping with any Please see KEEGAN, page 5C

Clothier, Steele give city two state wrestling titles By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Park City — In the hours before his Class 6A state championship wrestling match Saturday, Lawrence High senior Alan Clothier was loose and at ease. When the time before his match turned from hours into minutes, Clothier went from relaxed to focused. All season long he had a goal of winning a state title, and he

wasn’t going to let anybody get in his way. Clothier won a state championship at 182 pounds, winning by a 13-4 major decision at Hartman Arena. When the clock finally struck zero, he celebrated his victory by clapping his hands and pointing to his family and friends sitting in the stands. Free State High sophomore Tate Steele won a state championship at 132

pounds, becoming the first wrestler in school history to win a state title. “There’s no other feeling like it when you win a state championship,” Clothier said. “You’re on top. The feeling is amazing. Last year, I came short (third place). It was sad, and it was hard. But I’m happy I worked hard and finished it out strong.” Clothier, who had a 33-2

GOLF

Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. — Adam Scott looked as though he couldn’t miss as he began to pull away Saturday in the Honda Classic. He hit every green through 13 holes at PGA National. He made seven birdies through 14 holes. He turned a three-shot deficit at the start of the round into a three-shot lead over Sergio Garcia. No one else was closer than seven shots. One hole changed everything. “Just one of those ones where it’s the wrong time to make an error,” Scott said. Make that two errors. Scott put two balls into the water on the par-3 15th and made a quadruple bogey to lose the lead. He still managed a 4-under 66 to share the lead with Garcia going into the final round. It was the other 17 holes that left Scott so optimistic about a chance to win for the first time since May 2014. “I’m playing great,” he said. “I have to say, I’ve played better every day this week, and it started pretty good. It’s disappointing not to have walked out of here and shot 62 or something like that. But it might be tomorrow that I can do that.” Garcia lost the lead again with a bogey from the bunker on the 17th, but a birdie on the final hole gave him a 67 to catch Scott. They were at 9-under 201. Blayne Barber had a 69 and was four shots behind. Scott and Garcia were quick to point out that Sunday might not be a two-man race, and there was plenty of evidence to back them up. Rickie Fowler had a one-shot lead going into the third round and was the first player at the Honda Classic to go bogeyfree through the opening 36 holes. And then on Saturday, he couldn’t make a birdie. Fowler wound up with a 74 to fall five shots behind. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 3-under 67 and picked up three shots on the leaders. He was at 1-under par, tied for 11th.

Bohn had 99 percent blockage in artery Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. — Golfer Jason Bohn tells NBC Sports that what was reported as a mild heart attack turned out to be much more. The 42-year-old golfer had a stent inserted Saturday for what he says was 99 percent blockage of a major artery. In a text exchange with the network, Bohn says the blockage was in his left anterior descending artery — known as the “widow maker” because it could lead to a major heart attack. The PGA Tour initially said Friday night that it was a mild heart attack and he was in stable condition. Bohn said he had been dealing with bronchitis and pneumonia. He made the cut in the Honda Classic and said he was experiencing chest pains. He was taken to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center.

Baylor’s Gathers to try pro football Indianapolis — Baylor forward Rico Gathers will try to make it in the NFL after his basketball career ends. Gathers, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 275, hopes to become the next Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham in making the transition to tight end. Gathers will work with private coach George Whitfield when Baylor’s season ends. “When his basketball season is over with, (we’ll) get a chance to put him through really some oneon-one receiving drills and try to get him up to speed,” Whitfield said. “I’m going to talk to a lot of teams here and learn the basic prerequisites for a tight endtype, obviously catching over the shoulder, both shoulders, coming back in with the ball, route running, different type of conditioning.” He has not played football since he was 14.

KU women drop home finale to Tech BOX SCORE

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

What seemed like as good a shot as any for Kansas University’s women’s basketball team to capture its first conference win of 2016 and end an ugly losing streak came and went Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse with the Jayhawks experiencing the same result they have in every game since early December. Facing another struggling Big 12 program, KU failed to capitalize on a good start in its home finale and instead remained winless in conference, with a 69-58 loss to Texas Tech. The Jayhawks, who connected on just 33 percent of their shots from the floor (20 of 60), as well as three-point range (5-for-15), lost their 19th game in a row and finished the season with a 4-13 home record. First-year Kansas coach Brandon Schneider, whose team hasn’t experienced a win since Dec. 13, couldn’t blame a lack of execution for the latest setback. “Just missing shots, for the most part,” Schneider said of the turning point, adding Tech freshman guard Japreece Dean (17 points, four assists) controlled the game late. One of KU’s freshman guards, Aisia Robertson (14 points, 6-for-11 shooting), did her best to keep her team competitive. Robertson scored two baskets in the first three minutes of the fourth

The Jayhawks fell to Tech, 69-58, on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse. quarter, cutting Tech’s lead to two, but the Jayhawks (5-23 overall, 0-17 Big 12) couldn’t get timely stops or baskets in crunch time. Sophomore Kansas guard Lauren Aldridge (16 points) hit her first three-pointer of the game with 3:39 to play, and the Red Raiders led only 57-56. However, Kansas connected on just one of its final seven shots, and an offensive rebound and put-back by Leashja Grant (eight points, 14 boards) gave Texas Tech a much-needed two-possession cushion with 1:24 remaining.

Said Schneider: “You can’t shoot 26 percent in a half (8-for-30 the final 20 minutes) and expect to win.” A disastrous thirdquarter stretch for Kansas allowed the Red Raiders to snag momentum in the battle between the Big 12’s ninth- and 10thplace teams. Tech took its first lead of the game, 36-35, on an Ivonne CookTaylor jumper less than three minutes into the second half. Although KU freshman forward Tyler Johnson (nine points, five rebounds) answered with a basket to re-gain the lead,

apiece from sophomores Chayla Cheadle and Aldridge, allowing Texas Tech to take a 48-44 lead into the fourth. The Jayhawks, who actually got off to a hot start and led 19-15 after a quarter, couldn’t keep it up the entire first half. Aldridge drove to the paint for an emphatic and-one and a successful threepoint play for a 10-point KU lead with 6:59 left in the second quarter. And although Kansas led at the half for just the eighth time this season, making just five of 15 shot attempts in the second quarter meant Texas

CookTaylor scored again to start a 7-0 Tech spurt. “We definitely didn’t want to give them their first (Big 12) win, though,” CookTaylor said, after scoring a game-high 19 points. The Kansas offense sputtered amid Tech’s third-quarter response, with five turnovers and nine straight missed field-goal attempts, before Robertson beat the third-quarter buzzer with a three-pointer from the left corner. KU’s only other points during the final seven minutes of the third came via two free throws

Tech made up plenty of ground, cutting KU’s lead to 33-30 at the break. “Obviously it’s disappointing,” Aldridge said following KU’s home finale. “Losing’s never fun. But, you know, we’ve got prep (today) and two games left, so we’ve gotta come in and, no matter what’s happened the entire season prior to, we’ve gotta come in with a lot of energy and get ready for TCU (on the road) on Monday.”

Rice D-L coach Slater candidate to join KU erhouses for 12 seasons before joining the Owls, began his coaching career in 1993 as a student assistant at Texas State, where he also played college football. Slater’s résumé includes more than a dozen years working exclusively with defensive linemen and a trio of NFL Draft picks, including former Rice standout Christian Covington, who was selected in the sixth round by the Houston Texans in 2015. During his time as a grad assistant at Rice, Slater also coached future pros Cheta Ozougwu and Scott Solomon. During the 2014 season, Rice set a school record with 39 sacks, and during Slater’s first three years with the program the Owls’ D-linemen re-

record, made it look easy in the finals against Gardner-Edgerton senior Dustin Carstens. He raced to a 4-1 lead in the first minute, using his speed for a takedown and his strength to earn two back points. After scoring a takedown in the second period, earning a 9-2 lead, Clothier said he knew he had his second career state title locked up, also winning in his sophomore year. He started smiling before the start of the third period. “It’s amazing,” LHS coach Pat Naughton added. “He had a goal all year. That was his goal, and he stuck to it.” In the final minutes before the match began, before he put on his headgear, Clothier tapped the middle of his white shirt and pointed to the sky. His shirt had former LHS state champion wrestler Reece Wright-Conklin’s name on it. Wright-Conklin died from a motorcycle accident in September. The letters “RWC” were in the middle, attached to wings. “He was really close to me,” said Clothier, who was 151-8 in his four-year career. “I watched him win a state championship, too.

semifinals on his way to third place at 106 pounds. He said his mind-set never changed, but he has never liked being a “target” for opponents. Now that he’s the school’s first state champion, Steele said it wasn’t going to set in until his name was up on the school’s walls. “The best part about it is, Tate is just a nice kid in general,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said. “He helps a lot of kids in the room and tries to be a mentor to those kids to see what it takes to get to that level. He’s a special kid.” Free State sophomore Gage Foster placed third at 170 pounds, winning four matches Saturday after losing in the quarterfinals. He won by a 9-6 decision over Shawnee Mission North’s Cesar Salgado in the third-place match. “It’s nice because nobody really knew who I was,” said Foster, who only moved up to 170 pounds last week before earning a regional title. “I was kind of out of nowhere, and nobody really believed I was going to place or do very well at all.” FSHS sophomore Isaiah Jacobs added a fifth-place finish at 126 pounds, helping the Firebirds tie for ninth in the team standings with 64.5 points. The Lions were 20th with 38 points.

the same. It felt like he was there with me on the mat. Every shot I took, everything I did in that match, it felt like he was right next to me, cheering me on.” Steele won by a 5-2 decision in the championship against Manhattan junior Devin Norris, a rematch of the regional finals last week. Steele won 6-5 in the regional final, but learned to be on the lookout for the Peterson Roll, a move designed to get the opponent on his back. After heading into the third period with a 5-0 lead, the same score from a week ago, Steele refused to get turned on his back, holding on for the final minute. Steele finished with a 40-2 record, improving to 76-4 in his career. “All I did this week was think about if I face him, no Peterson,” Steele said. “That’s all he was going to do.” It was a quiet celebration by Steele, who is no fan of showboating. The official raised Steele’s left arm, and he flashed a quick thumbs up and sly wave to his family and teammates in the crowd before embracing his coaches. “It didn’t feel real,” Steele said. “In the third period, I was up 5-0, and then it felt like a dream.” Last season, Steele was ranked No. 1 in the state all season but lost in the

Friday night, at a Football in February event in Kansas City, Kan., Kansas University football coach David Beaty told reporters and KU supporters that he was all but done hiring for the open positions on his coaching staff. Saturday, the JournalWorld learned the name of one strong candidate, if not the favorite, to fill one of the two remaining vacancies. Sources close to the football program indicated that Rice defensiveline coach Michael Slater could join the KU staff any day. Slater, a native of Dickinson, Texas, who coached high school football at two Houston pow-

corded 72 of the team’s 87 sacks. Slater, if hired, becomes the latest new coach to have strong recruiting ties in Houston, a theme that seems to be of growing importance for Beaty’s staff. “Michael has strong ties in the city of Houston that have been built up over 12 years of coaching at the high school level, which is an invaluable asset in recruiting,” said Rice coach David Bailiff upon promoting Slater from grad assistant to full-time assistant in 2012. Slater’s addition would bring Beaty one coach shy of fielding a full staff. He remains in the process of trying to nail down a running-backs coach and said Friday that a hire for that position could be made by Monday.

Tubby Smith: Self coach of year By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Entering Saturday’s showdown with No. 2 Kansas University at Allen Fieldhouse, Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith’s squad had won five consecutive games, six of its last seven and elevated Smith from a coach fans grumbled about to a front-runner for Big 12 coach-of-theyear honors. And then the Jayhawks knocked off the Red Raiders, 67-58, to clinch KU’s 12th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, and even Smith felt the need

to tip his cap in the direction of KU coach Bill Self. Will Smith ever see anything like KU’s streak again? “I doubt it,” Smith replied. “I didn’t think I’d see it now, but ... it’s amazing what Bill Self has done, and I think he deserves to be coach of the year. There’s been banter about me, but I think he’s done a fantastic job.” Smith said KU’s ability to keep its Big 12 title run alive during a season in which the conference has had six teams regularly appear in the weekly Top 25 made this year’s title all the more impressive.

“It’s an indication of just how talented and how good Kansas is,” Smith said. “Because it is a very talented league. The Big 12 is the toughest league in the country. Coach Self and his staff have put together a team that is very capable of winning it all. A lot goes into play when that happens. You have to stay healthy, you gotta pass the rock, the ball’s gotta fall your way. But they certainly have the depth and the bench strength to get things done, and they’re playing well at the right time.” That was not the case when these two faced

each other in early January. KU (25-4 overall, 13-3 Big 12) won that game in Lubbock by a similar score (69-59), but Texas Tech senior and leading scorer, Toddrick Gotcher, who dropped in a game-high 20 points on 5-of-9 shooting from three-point range in the rematch, said the group he competed against Saturday looked drastically different. “They’re more complete,” Gotcher said. “Each guy knows their role on the team, and they know when to take the shot and who takes the shot. They’re gonna make

a good run in the tournament.” Added Smith: “Roles are defined better, and that usually helps the kids understand, ‘Hey, this is what my opportunity is and when it’s gonna come.’” As for the specifics of Saturday’s loss, both Smith and Gotcher pointed to one moment — one shot — that wound up playing a huge role in Texas Tech (18-10, 8-8) falling short. With KU leading 3429 and the seconds ticking off the first-half game clock, KU guard Frank Mason III pushed the ball

up the floor and found sophomore Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from three-point range) on the right wing for a threepointer that swished through the net as the first-half buzzer sounded. “We thought we were coming into halftime only down five, and they hit that big three at the buzzer,” Gotcher said. Added Smith: “It barely got passed. (Tech freshman) Jordan Jackson kind of mistimed his jump, and if we get that steal and get that stop, it would’ve helped. That was a big shift in momentum.”

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

What followed was a players-only net-cutting ceremony that started with junior guard Frank Mason III climbing the ladder and ended with senior Perry Ellis clipping a final strand of net. Most of the players stuck the strand through the flap of their new, blue, “12 straight Big 12 Champions” caps. “It just feels great, thinking about all the hard work, all the hours you put in. It pays off in the end,” said Ellis, who scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds on a day Svi Mykhailiuk led the way with five threes in five tries and 17 points. The fans chanted “Perry Ellis, Perry Ellis” during his time with the scissors. “It was awesome. I love the fans,” Ellis said. “They supported me ever since I’ve been here. It just makes me want to finish out even stronger, the (rest of the) season.” Self, whose team led by 20 points with 10:19 left, only to see the margin dip to 58-50 at 4:18, was so pleased with the accomplishment of a team that started 5-3 in league play that he allowed a celebration with KU technically tied for the title. Oklahoma (10-6) was eliminated from title contention later in the day after losing at Texas, while West Virginia (11-5) remained alive for a possible share of the crown by later defeating Oklahoma State.

Why celebrate Saturday? “Because we are on the road the next game,” Self said. “(Also) I’ve been called out by some people (that) I don’t let the kids enjoy it as much as I should. I thought it was the right thing to do, even though we’ve not won it and just clinched a tie. It’s a pretty big accomplishment for any team to win it this year, certainly for our team.” He continued to lavish praise on a KU squad that held Tech to 31.6 percent shooting while hitting just 44.4 percent. “In a year that’s the best the league has ever been in the history of the Big 12, it’s a remarkable accomplishment,” Self said. “People talk about 12 (in a row). They should focus in and talk about one, because it’s this team.

“I think sometimes you have to take time to enjoy the situation. We’ve been saying, ‘Big 12 champs (during huddles to close every practice)’ basically since we started practicing for the Korean trip (last summer’s World University Games, at which KU won gold). They need to be able to enjoy it. “It’s 1:20 (p.m.) now. They’ll get out of here (fieldhouse) by 2:15. I want them to have some fun. I’m not talking partying fun, but enjoy it and worry about Texas tomorrow. They deserve a little reward tonight. I wish the Texas game was Tuesday or Wednesday. These guys need to have some fun and enjoy themselves a little bit.” KU plays Texas at 8 p.m. Monday in Austin, a schedule that put a dent in Self’s celebration plans. “We’ll do something

as a staff, I’m sure, here in a little bit,” Self said of perhaps having lunch or dinner with his assistants and their families. “I’ll watch tape tonight. “Sometimes winning is relief, and losing is the end of earth. This feels better than a relief because I’m really proud of our kids. I think they really tried hard. They’ve given us what they’ve got for the most part. Now my concern is making sure we stay hungry, because when you put such an emphasis on, ‘This is our goal,’ and then you accomplish the goal, are you still hungry to keep moving forward? The great teams do. It remains to be seen if we can be a great team. I think we’ll do the right thing.” The Jayhawks celebrated with class Saturday. The players signed autographs for 30 minutes or more apiece in a longer-

than-usual postgame autograph line, many posing for pictures while wearing their hats and blue title T-shirts. “I don’t know what to think, man. It’s just an amazing feeling,” said Mason, who hit three threes and scored 16 points with three assists, three turnovers and two steals in 35 minutes. “Twelve straight is something we’ll always remember.” Senior Traylor, who had three points and three boards in 13 minutes, playfully counted each of the fingers and thumb on his left hand before entering the postgame handshake line with freshmen Cheick Diallo (six boards, two points, 13 minutes) and Carlton Bragg Jr. (two points, one board, six minutes). He has five titles to his credit, having red-shirted his freshman year. “They are in my room. I’ve got a little jewelry box for ’em,” he said of his rings. “I got ’em nice in there. I need to make a little room, now.”

KU likely to ascend to No. 1 Monday By Gary Bedore

As a reward for winning a 12th straight Big 12 regular-season title — and in response to top-ranked Villanova’s loss to Xavier — Kansas University’s No. 2-ranked basketball team figures to ascend to No. 1 in both the AP and USA Today polls Monday. “I mean, I feel like we deserve it. I feel we’ve worked pretty hard,” KU senior forward Jamari Traylor said after the Jayhawks’ 67-58 win over Texas Tech on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The victory pushed KU’s record to 25-4 overall and 13-3 in the league. “It’s not the most important thing,” Traylor added of a top ranking. “We still have a couple more games left in Big 12 play. We want to win those. We want to win the Big 12 tournament as well, go in March with a little momentum and just go on from there,” he added of the NCAAs. On Monday, a few hours after being tapped No. 1 for the second time this season, the Jayhawks will tangle with a No. 25-ranked Texas team (19-10, 10-6) that defeated No. 3 Oklahoma, 76-63, on Saturday in Austin. Tipoff will be 8 p.m. at Frank Erwin Center. “We’ve got to keep it going, getting better day by day,” Traylor said.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) FLOATS IN FOR A BUCKET past Texas Tech forward Zach Smith (11) during the second half. The Jayhawks will have almost no preparation time, as today is a travel day to Austin after a short practice or shooting session. “This isn’t like NFL football, where you rest your starters the last game,” coach Bill Self said. “We are playing for seeds. We are playing for a lot of stuff. We want to continue to play well. If we have to, we can take Tuesday and Wednesday off (then start preparing for Saturday’s 3 p.m. Senior Day contest vs. Iowa State).” Though his team has won nine straight games,

Self is not thrilled at the way the Jayhawks have been playing. “We right now are going through a semi-phase we think we can turn it on when we want to. That happened tonight,” Self said. “We were close to cracking them at 20 (-point lead with 10 minutes left), and the next thing it’s eight (points).” l

who practices with and against Mykhailiuk daily is surprised with his breakthrough. “We always believed in Svi,” junior Frank Mason III said. “Every day, even in practice, we would tell him to keep his confidence, tell him he’s a great player, great shooter, to try to keep him going because we know he’s a huge part of our team.” So is Brannen Greene, who gives Self not only another option at wing, but the chance to use Greene to back up Ellis, or even someone who can play alongside him for stretches against teams with smaller lineups. Six of the eight players averaging doubledigit minutes for the Jayhawks (25-4) boast

“I saw a focused group that wanted to get better,” Miles, who won three league titles in his four years at KU, said. “We are still working to get better. We were 5-3 at one point, and I know guys buckled down. You did hear a little rumbling about it (pressure to continue KU’s conference win streak), but for the most part it was about getting better as a group. We want to continue to work to get better because we’ve got more goals ahead of us.” Miles said he enjoyed delivering the 2015-16 Big 12 trophy to the current Jayhawks with 2004-05 (first

year of streak) league-title teammates Wayne Simien and Jeff Hawkins. “They thought it’d be a great idea for us being part of the first team to deliver the trophy to the young fellas (out northwest tunnel onto court). We’re honored to be part of it,” Miles said. “This school has so much tradition. Coach Self does a tremendous job. Twelve of his 13 years he’s been here (KU has won league titles) ... that’s a testament to coach Self and his staff.” Miles, by the way, hasn’t retired from pro basketball. He said he hasn’t decided yet whether to resume his career in Europe next season. He’s rehabbing from hip surgery this season. l

Stats, facts: KU has won an NCAA-leading 59 conference regular-season titles. ... KU has 25 victories for the 11th-straight season. ... KU has won 13 league games for 11 straight seasons. ... KU has won 39 games in a row in Allen. ... Self is 205-9 in Allen and

18-6 versus Tech. He is 17-3 vs. Tech as KU coach. ... For just the fifth time in 29 games KU scored fewer than 70 points and is 3-2 in those contests. ... The KU bench scored more points in the first half (19) than it had overall in the previous two contests at Kansas State (17) and at Baylor (10). ... KU led by 18 points, 49-31, after going on a 12-2 run in the second half. Texas Tech cut the deficit to eight points, 58-50. ... Svi Mykhailiuk put the Red Raiders away with his fifth three in five tries with 4:02 to play, pushing the lead back to double figures, 63-52. ... Mykhailiuk’s five threes in five tries were the most without a miss in a Big 12 Conference game since Jeff Hawkins made five against Baylor in 2005. l

Order of cutting: Frank Mason III was the first to take a turn at cutting a strand of net following the game. Why Mason? “I wanted somebody who wasn’t a freshman to go up there so they could show them how to do it. So that way they didn’t screw it up. Cheick (Diallo) goes up there first, he’ll cut the whole net down,” Self said with a laugh. “I wanted everybody to know they were just taking one piece. It was so somebody else wouldn’t screw it up, not because he was the catalyst.”

high three-point percentages: Greene (.537), Ellis (.462), Devonté Graham (.423, same as the team’s percentage), Wayne Selden Jr. (.409), Mason (.393) and Mykhailiuk (.388). Svi led the way but was not solely responsible for the bench’s strong contribution on a day the starters needed the help. Jamari Traylor and Chieck Diallo combined for nine rebounds and three blocked shots in 26 minutes. Things are rounding into shape in timely fashion for Kansas, whose coach is forever mindful of means to ensure his players remain hungry. — Sports editor Tom Keegan appears on The Drive at 10:30 p.m. every Sunday on WIBWTV.

Longhorns end Sooners’ title hopes The Associated Press

Big 12 Men No. 25 Texas 76, No. 3 Oklahoma 63 Austin, Texas — Isaiah Taylor scored 18 points, and Texas overwhelmed Oklahoma over the final seven minutes to beat the Sooners on Saturday. Texas trailed 58-51 before Taylor converted a three-point play to start a 25-5 run down the stretch. Buddy Hield scored 33 points for Oklahoma. Connor Lammert and Javan Felix scored 14 points each for Texas (1910, 10-6 Big 12). Hield reached 30 points for the ninth time this season but faded badly like the rest of his teammates down the stretch. Oklahoma (22-6, 10-6) went nearly seven minutes without scoring as the Texas run cranked up. Early on, Hield scored from everywhere. His opening basket was a twisting, baseline drive for a layup, and followed that with four threepointers and a dunk of an alley-oop pass. Several times Texas tried to switch defenders on Hield, which left him with several easy looks from long range.

Top 25 Men No. 3 Virginia 79, No. 7 North Carolina 74 Charlottesville, Va. — Malcolm Brogdon scored 26 points, and Virginia used a 16-5 secondhalf run to break open a tie game and held off North Carolina, the Cavaliers’ 19th consecutive home victory.

Move to bullpen saved Wade Davis Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Looking back, Wade Davis got the biggest save of his career when the Kansas City Royals moved him from the rotation to the bullpen. Mediocre as a starter, Davis has been downright dominant since becoming a reliever in September 2013. In the last two years, combining regular season and postseason stats, he’s 20-3 with 20 saves and an 0.82 ERA, striking out well over a batter per inning. “That was fortunate to have a couple of years that are successful,” Davis said. “It’s definitely not going to help to think about it, so just prepare and get to work.” He did not allow a run in 10 2/3 innings in eight relief playoff appearances last year as the Royals won their first World Series since 1985. “The numbers Wade’s done the past couple of years are phenomenal,” Royals bullpen coach Doug Henry said. “It’s almost stupid.” In the clinching Game 6 of the AL Championship Series last October against Toronto, Jose Bautista homered off Ryan Madson in the eighth inning to tie it at 3. After Madson walked the next hitter, Davis was summoned to get the final two outs, striking out Troy Tulowitzki to end the inning, stranding a runner at second. After a 40-minute rain

delay, Davis was brought back for the ninth to protect a one-run lead. He immediately gave up a hit, a walk and three stolen bases, but got out of the jam by striking out Dioner Navarro and Ben Revere and retiring AL MVP Josh Donaldson on a grounder with runners on second and third base. “When we get the ball to Wade, we feel like the game is over,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “In my mind, he’s the best reliever in baseball and I think there’s a lot of people’s minds he’s the best reliever in baseball right now. Every time you get that onerun lead, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing, you feel like that game is over.” Yost was equally confident during Davis’ escape in that game against the Blue Jays. “I just feel even in that situation that Wade was going to get out of it because he doesn’t panic, he slows the game down and continues to execute quality pitches and with great stuff,” Yost said. “That’s what makes him so good.” Davis, traded from Tampa Bay to the Royals in December 2012, was 3132 overall with a 4.56 ERA in 88 starts. The Royals moved Davis in September 2013 to the bullpen — after averaging 6.3 strikeouts per nine innings as a starter, he’s up to 11.5 as a reliever.

Homegrown ’80s rockers snag state music honor By Joanna Hlavacek

here is a famous saying about the 1960s — variously attributed to Robin Williams, Grace Slick, Paul Kantner and Dennis Hopper, among others — that reads something along the lines of, “If you remember the decade, you weren’t really there at all.” But for Marty Olson and Steve Wilson, that period was really the late ’70s and early ’80s, when their Lawrence-based rock band, Thumbs, was in its heyday. “XTC, Iggy Pop, the Sir Douglas Quintet, The Police… It all fades into a blur,” says Wilson, rattling off the several highprofile acts Thumbs opened for at its peak, adding a bit later, “I remember the general contour and feeling of the experience, but details… who knows?” “There’s a lot of hazy stuff,” agrees Olson, who admits to reminiscing a bit more often these days, with Thumbs’ long-awaited induction into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame slated for Saturday at Liberty Hall. The ceremony will find founding members Wilson (lead vocals) and Olson (organist/one-time bassist) reuniting with their former bandmates — at least in a professional setting — for the first time in some 30-odd years. They’re the only two still living in Lawrence, though Olson and Wilson have remained close with original members John Odell, Kevin Smith and Mark Aronszajn (now scattered to New Orleans, Atlanta and Seattle, respectively) over the years. All but Smith will return to Lawrence this week in advance of the induction.

“

I would venture to say, really, that the kind of alternative or indie scene that sprang up in Lawrence in the early ’80s… honestly, that kind of started with us.” — Steve Wilson, Thumbs member

“It’s exciting,” Olson, who has owned and operated Do’s Deluxe salon in East Lawrence for approximately 40 years now, says of the reunion. “There were a lot of periods in the last 35 years where I thought there’s no way we would ever do it. Steve and I would talk about it periodically, ‘You ready for the reunion tour yet?’ It’s something we would joke about.” The prospect of playing once again with Thumbs has since become very real, especially to Olson, who occasionally finds himself turning on his old keyboard only to mess around for “about 30 seconds” before turning the thing off again.

At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., will be hosting a book launch event, with a reading from the author and Smith a moderated Q&A session, followed by a book signing. I was able to interview Cote about the novel ahead of the event. Here’s just a taste of what you can expect Thursday.

Thumbs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Unlike Wilson, who still performs locally with The Mahoots, Olson walked away from a career in music to tend to his salon day job at Do’s Deluxe, 416 E. Ninth St., right around the time that he and Wilson now recognize as the band’s peak. Thumbs, which formed in 1975 — or sometime around then, though Wilson, 63, and Olson, 64, can’t be too sure — got its start playing dances at Hashinger Hall and gigs at intimate venues like Off the Wall Hall, which now houses The Bottleneck. At the time, Thumbs was a bit of an anomaly within the Lawrence music scene. Country, bluegrass, even reggae bands — specifically those who made their mark playing covers — were popular. A “straight-up” rock-androll outfit inspired by the punk movement, “overproduced, shallow” arena bands and the “nasty boy” image of the Rolling Stones seemed almost foreign to area audiences, Olson and Wilson now recall. “I would venture to say, really, that the kind of alternative or indie scene that sprang up in Lawrence in the early ’80s… honestly, that kind of started with us,” Wilson says. “We were the first loud, aggressive rock band playing our own material to kind of get a beachhead for everybody else and open the door for other people to come through.” Olson, who describes

theme of being damaged by witnessing another person’s damage. In some ways, the experience of the reader parallels that of the narrator, in that we are watching trauma unfold secondhand. In this way, does the act of fiction writing subvert the theme of “hurt people hurting people?” That’s a very interesting way of thinking about fiction. I think the distance you mention is probably a good thing. We watch these characters hurt, and hopefully we care about them, but they aren’t hurting us in turn, at least not directly. So there isn’t anything at stake for us, yet we still have an emotional experience. If anything, I think this speaks to fiction’s usefulness as a safe place for the reader to develop empathy, to learn

ing Stone,” says Wilson, who now works library media assistant at his old high school. “I can tell you the difference in sales was substantial.” Olson, overwhelmed by the simultaneous success of Thumbs and his fledgling salon, quit the band less than a year later. He doesn’t regret it. These days, Olson spends most of his creative energy on visual art, which he’s been able to pursue as a result of more lucrative endeavors like Do’s Deluxe. To put it all into perspective, Olson recalls opening for the (at that time) up-and-coming band The Police more

than 30 years ago. They played at a small Kansas City club called One Block West. “One year later, they were playing Madison Square Garden, but we were still playing Off the Wall Hall to our 75 devoted fans,” says Olson, in his own way of “summing up” Thumbs’ music legacy. “We did make a dent — a very little dent, but we did make a dent.” For years, Wilson says, he and his bandmates felt like “bridesmaids,” watching other acts pass through the Kansas Music Hall of Fame while Thumbs remained on a sort of unofficial shortlist. But Wilson took it in

stride. The honor wasn’t something he wanted to campaign for. “I kind of figured that our records — no pun intended — spoke for themselves, and eventually they (the Hall of Fame board) would go, ‘Oh yeah, we gotta catch up with those guys,’” he says. “They did. And it’s all good.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388 or jhlavacek@ljworld.com.

Ask humane society to check on annoying dogs Dear Annie: I am struggling with my neighbors. They have not one, but two barking dogs, which is double the noise. They confine the dogs to their backyard, which happens to be adjacent to ours. The barking drones on for hours, sometimes days, from very early morning until long after sunset. Our master bedroom, as well as our kitchen and family room, face the neighbors’ backyard, thus rendering half of our living space useless due to excessive noise. That’s with the windows closed. It’s even worse when we’re outside. These dogs bark at any movement or noise, which means every time I do yard work, they are sounding off. They even bark when I shovel the walk in the winter. It is making me

miserable. I, too, have a dog, but he doesn’t bark all day long. I have tried several things hoping to resolve this issue without involving the authorities. I would like to live in quiet harmony with my neighbors. — Reached My Limit Dear Reached: We don’t know what you’ve already tried, but we assume it includes talking to the neighbors about the barking, asking them to bring the

Chris Rock faces tough Oscar crowd Chris Rock hosts the 88th Annual Academy Awards, or “The Oscars” (7:30 p.m., ABC, TV-14), as they are called on ABC’s schedule. Given the glamour involved, you can’t really call Rock’s gig a thankless job, or “Mission Impossible,” but he faces several tasks and audiences all at once. The Academy has faced much criticism this year for the lack of nonwhite faces among the nominees. These concerns coincide with the rise of the Black Lives Matter political movement and, more to the point, a moment when television, particularly network television, has achieved greater diversity. Shows like “Empire” and ABC’s Thursday-night lineup of Shonda Rhimes-produced melodramas are not “black” shows, but hit shows. Moreover, they reach an audience that considers such distinctions a tad antique. Rock has to address the controversy and is all but expected to disparage the Oscars on its own big night. But he also has to play to “the room,” something he failed to do when he hosted the 2005 awards and seemed to disrespect the films of Jude Law, among others. He also has to be funny and reach a home audience that may or may not be interested in best picture nominees “Spotlight,” “The Martian,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “The Revenant,” “Bridge of Spies,” “The Big Short,” “Room” and “Brooklyn.” It remains to be seen if Rock can succeed. If he doesn’t, he probably won’t fall flatter than Neil Patrick Harris or seem as immature as Seth MacFarlane, to name two recent hosts. Perhaps we’ve reached a time when no one person or personality can appeal to all of the overlapping Oscar audiences. During the 1970s, the ceremonies were often hosted by a group of stars. In 1969, the Oscars were presented by “friends of the Oscars,” a celebrity huddle that ran the gamut from Sidney Poitier to Rosalind Russell, Frank Sinatra and Burt Lancaster. A contemporary tag team of that sort and size might solve two Oscar problems. The success and failure of the night would no longer rest on one host’s shoulders. And fans would be guaranteed of seeing really big stars, even if the night ends up being dominated by movies that “nobody” saw. It is the Oscars, after all. Tonight’s other highlights O “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth” (7 p.m., Showtime, TV14) glances at the presidential race. O Alexandria seems less secure on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC, TV-MA). O Hannah hears from her father on “Girls” (9 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

dogs inside for enough of the day that you can catch a break, and suggesting they look into dog training classes. If those things have not helped, phone the humane society and ask them to check out the situation. It seems abusive to let dogs bark for days at a time, and be left outdoors, rain or shine, summer and winter. Dear Annie: I read the letters from “Heartbroken in California,” and “Frustrated in Oregon,” who both complained about stepdaughters who were terribly rude and insulting to them, while behaving like little angels when their fathers were around. In each situation, Dad would not stop the rude behavior, because he claimed he didn’t see it. Yes, these women could record the daughters’ rudeness for proof.

But here is another idea: Stepmom should ask the teen daughter whether she would like to stay there and take care of her dad through his senior years, including illnesses and possible dementia. Ask if she wants to do his meals, cleaning and laundry and to monitor his medications, taking him to the doctor as often as necessary. If so, fine. If not, would she prefer that he be married to the stepmother, who will care for him instead? It might be best for a third party to mention this to her, so as not to have tension between the husband and wife. But I think it could get the point across. — Paducah, Kentucky

Creative containers make plants pop Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith

hat’s even better than planting a container garden? Doing it in something more interesting than standard flower pots. Household items, thrift store finds, hardware store staples, or about anything that holds soil is an option for housing flowers or vegetables for a season or two. Some non-standard planters are easy stretches of the imagination. It was popular to plant in half whiskey barrels a decade or so ago. Old wheelbarrows and birdbaths are a natural fit, too, especially when they no longer hold water due to wear or damage. Other planter ideas take a bit of imagination but are equally ideal, like planting in an old suitcase or tea kettle. Take a look around the yard, garage, shed, kitchen and your favorite secondhand shops, and try to picture plants growing out of the objects you find. Look especially for objects with holes in the bottom for drainage, that are naturally porous, or in which holes can be drilled into the bottom to allow water to drain. For ceramic and glass items like bowls and jars, use a carbide-tipped masonry bit made especially for glass and tile (and know they might still break). There are many ideas to

STANDARD FLOWERPOTS AREN’T THE ONLY OPTIONS FOR PLANTERS. Household items such as boots, teapots and suitcases can work just as well. help you get started. The most natural items to use for planting containers include hollowed out logs or stumps, straw or hay bales (there is a gardening culture devoted to this; prepare to water often), birdhouse gourds (remove the top half and plant inside) and woven baskets. Common yard and garden items that can be used as planters include wagons, watering cans and the previously mentioned wheelbarrows and birdbaths. If you are interested in hard-

ware store-type items (you might also find these at thrift stores or already have them), try planting in gutters (especially perfect for lettuce, spinach, and trailing annual flowers), old paint cans (use for ornamental plants only or purchase empty cans anywhere paint is sold), cinder blocks or old metal tool or tackle boxes. Household items that work well as planting containers are colanders, teapots, bowls, crocks, jars, bottles and old bathroom fixtures. Old cowboy boots have been plant-

ing favorites for many years, but try worn-out dress boots, galoshes, or last season’s gardening shoes, as well. An old purse or hat works on the same concept. For something larger, try an open suitcase or an upside-down umbrella. Another idea is to use the globes from old light fixtures or even turn a whole chandelier upside-down and plant where the light bulbs would have gone. Last but not least on the list of suggestions: Use an over-the-door shoe orga-

nizer and plant a flower or vegetable in each pocket. Whatever you end up using, fill it with good-quality potting media, insert your plants or seeds, water and voila! You have a beautiful and creative garden. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for K-State Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

Choose the right battery for any household device

ore than 2000 years ago, the invention of the first battery allowed users to electroplate gold onto silver artifacts. Millennia later, with the invention of the watch battery in 1950, common household batteries became an integral part of our everyday lives. Understanding the differences in household batteries can help you choose the right battery for any job. l The carbon-zinc dry cell battery was the original household battery used to operate clocks, radios and other low-drain devices. These batteries are typically labeled “general-purpose” or “heavy duty.” They are the least expensive and the shortest-lasting of all batteries. Choose these batteries

Linda Cottin to operate small, nonelectronic equipment such as clocks, toys and items that will only be used for a short period of time. l Alkaline batteries are the most common choice for regular household use. They have a long shelf life and last much longer than carbon-zinc batteries. They are also more expensive and are prone to leaking. Choose alkaline batteries for medium-drain

WHEN CHOOSING BATTERIES, take into account how heavily they will be used and what types of devices they will power. devices and electronics that get regular use. Remove the batteries before storing devices to avoid damage. l Lithium batteries are taking the market by storm. Longer-lasting

and more powerful than their alkaline counterparts, these little powerhouses work well in extreme temperatures. Invest in lithium batteries for high-drain electronic devices such as

GPS systems, cameras, high-end flashlights and frequently used toys and gadgets. l Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries have replaced their old toxic counterparts, nickel-cadmium batteries. Considering their overall life span, NiMH batteries are more affordable than disposable batteries. When properly cared for, these batteries can be recharged up to 500 times. They outperform singleuse batteries in high-drain devices and discharge energy at a steadier pace. NiMH batteries will lose power when sitting idle and need to be recharged at least once every month or two. NiMH batteries also weaken with age. Avoid using old NiMH batteries and newer NiMH batter-

ies together in the same device. l Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in cellphones, computers and power tools and will most likely become available as rechargeable household batteries in the near future. These nontoxic batteries will offer greater flexibility in recharging, as they cannot be overcharged. They also have the ability to maintain power longer between charges, but have a shorter life expectancy than other types of rechargable batteries overall.

Keep your pet’s smile bright with these dental care tips MURSEE

ebruary is National Pet Dental Care Month. Dental care can be inadvertently neglected by pet owners, but is just as important as other aspects of pet care. Do you remember those funny red pills that your dentist used to give you when you were a kid that would show you all of the “stuff” stuck to your teeth that you had missed when brushing? That is an accumulation of food and bacteria called plaque. If left on the teeth, it eventually hardens into a calcified substance called tartar or calculus. Because humans brush their teeth regularly, they don’t get tartar as often

Critter Buzz

Jennifer Stone as pets. Unfortunately, animals don’t always receive regular oral checkups. Animals with dental disease can find it painful to eat and can develop terrible infections that cause bad breath. If infection in the mouth becomes severe, bacteria found on gums

can travel through the bloodstream and lodge on the heart valves, where it forms nodules that result in heart disease. Here’s some tips for keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy: l When spending time with your pet, make a point of occasionally touching his or her mouth and examining the teeth and gums. In addition to giving you a good look at your pet’s teeth and gums, examining your pet’s mouth can get your pet used to having his or her mouth handled, which can make yearly checkups at your veterinarian’s office less stressful.

While you are looking, you may also notice chipped, damaged or worn teeth that your veterinarian may need to check. l Brush your pet’s teeth. This can sound impossible, but toothpaste for animals is conveniently flavored in poultry and other meat flavors that many animals love. My own dogs love it so much that they will beg to have their teeth brushed. Animal toothpastes come with a small brush that fits on the finger and can be gently rubbed on the teeth. If you have been handling your pet’s mouth regularly, the pro-

cess can be a pleasurable bonding experience for both of you. l Make sure your veterinarian does a thorough oral examination during your yearly checkup. Dental health should be part of every good physical examination, but it can be easy to overlook. l As your pet gets older, set money aside for dental examinations and cleanings. Having a professional cleaning once in a while can really improve the quality of your pet’s life, especially when they are in their golden years. Dental care is just as important to the health of your pet as other essential preventive care.
