Court deals blow to death penalty repeal effort By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Leading up to the start of the 2016 legislative session, Kansas death penalty opponents thought they had a good chance of

passing a bill this year to repeal the law. In fact, a bill was formally introduced Friday in the House, with 17 cosponsors from both sides of the aisle, including religious conservative Republicans as well as liberal and centrist Democrats.

It would prohibit death sentences for any crimes committed after July 1, and it would create a new crime of “aggravated murder” punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole. But after the U.S. Su-

preme Court issued a ruling this week that put one of the most infamous mass murders in Kansas history back in the spotlight, some lawmakers say those chances may have dimmed. “Up until (Wednesday), we had enough votes that

we could have passed it in the House,” said Rep. John Bradford, R-Lansing, one of the conservative cosponsors. “Right now, after that decision, I think it’s going to be questionable.”

A level playing field

County jail expansion plans to be shared at meeting

With no district policy, some elementary students are getting less recess time

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

support a measure that would reduce criminal penalties for first- and second-time offenders for marijuana possession, 64.5 percent of respondents answered “yes.” Nearly 20 percent — 19.9 — said they were “not sure,” and 15.5 percent said “no,” they wouldn’t support it. The results had a margin of error of 2.1 to 2.9 percentage points.

Douglas County residents will have their first opportunity Monday to see what a proposed 120-bed expansion of the county jail would look like. The county will host its sixth town hall meeting on the expansion of the jail at 6 p.m. Monday in the second-floor commission meeting room of the Douglas County Courthouse, 111 E. 11th St. Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug and Sheriff Ken McGovern said representatives with Treanor Architects will present schematic designs at the meeting. Those attending the 90-minute session can expect to see a Weinaug proposed footprint of the expansion and renderings of interior and exterior details. Public comment would be welcome so designs can be further refined as the county and Treanor work to develop final bid-ready plans, Weinaug said. Another significant first-time development shared at the meeting will be a cost range for the expansion, Weinaug said. The proposed expansion would add about 120 beds to the existing 186-bed facility that opened in 1999. However, Weinaug and McGovern said the intention of the expansion was not to incarcerate a greater number of prisoners. Rather, the goal is to provide environments that allow the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and its partners to more effectively deal with the county’s inmate population so that inmates are less likely to have future brushes with the law. “This county has a history of incarcerating people at a lower rate than any county in Kansas,” Weinaug said, allowing that neighboring Johnson County also has a low rate.

Across elementary playgrounds in the Lawrence school district, all is not equal. Just ask fourth-graders at Sunset Hill Elementary. Fourth-graders at Sunset get 15 minutes of recess per day while fourthgraders at most other Lawrence public schools get 30 minutes per day. Such discrepancies exist for fourth-graders at two other Lawrence elementary schools and for fifth-graders at eight of the district’s 14 elementary schools. School district leaders are aware that some students are getting half as much playtime per day as their peers, and they say it is a concern. But it is unclear whether the district will be able to make changes to level the playing field, so to speak. “It’s tough because I do think different schools have different strategies for how they spend their time,” said Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board.

Temperatures were too cold for the class to go outside so the children participated in playing games and other activities. A report delivered to the Lawrence school board says that some Lawrence elementary students only get 15 minutes of recess per school day when state policy allows for 30 minutes per day. Board’s recess goal Board members are working on the issue, though. For this school year, one of the board’s goals to enhance student wellness is to “investigate increases in time for physical movement with emphasis on recess.” Please see RECESS, page 8A

Readers support reforms to marijuana, hemp laws A Thousand Voices

Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

proposed reform of hemp and marijuana laws garnered support from a majority of readers in our latest LJWorld.com survey. The new survey of 1,000 readers shows most are in favor of a bill in the Kansas Senate that would both reduce penalties for first- and second-time marijuana charges and legalize the use of hemp oil for treatment of certain seizure disorders, though it has not been approved for such use by the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-

Raymond Howard Christian, great hunter and fisherman, homemade blackberry winemaker, and one of life’s true characters, died on January 21, 2016. He had a lifelong affair with hunting whitetail deer, elk, mallard ducks and crappie fishing. He would want you to know that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors’ orders and living life to the fullest for more than six decades. He is affectionately remembered for telling you what a great friend you are while simultaneously ripping you for doing something stupid. Raymond was born in Douglas County, Kansas on December 9, 1948 to Evelyn Hyle and George Christian. He is survived by his wife Anne, son Gary Christian of Lawrence, daughter Stacy Christian of Baldwin, two stepchildren: Katie Workman and Torin Van Nest, four grandsons Tyler Miller, Adam Christian, Branden Ousdahl and wife, Patti, and Reilly Ousdahl, two great grandchildren: Layla Ousdahl and Kayden Workman, one brother, James Christian (m. Tina Christian), three sisters: Shirley Patterson (m. Joe Patterson), Janet Means (m. Jim Means), and Connie Flory (m. Murray Flory), and many friends. His parents and one brother, Vern (m. JoAnne Christian), preceded him in death. Ray excelled at growing very hot peppers for use in his homemade Bloody Mary mix, constructing commercial concrete flatwork for over 30 years, mowing 20 acres of land throughout the summer, never missing the first day of crappie season, making friends, and never letting you forget you were his most important friend. Ray always had a story to tell. In one such story, he took “the two Docs” (who looked like they stepped out of the Cabela’s catalog) duck hunting at his blind. Ray provided them with fruit nourishment, called in the ducks for them, let them shoot to their hearts content and then shot the ducks for them since they couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn.

Many of his stories that included Great White Hunter Lawson, Dead Eye Dick, Caughin’ Missouri Dave, Law Dog and son Gary need to stay in the hunting camp, but they did include stupidity such as picking up a paper wasp nest in the middle of winter, pulling a live shark onto the boat, falling flat on his back getting out of the truck, and having a deer come back to life in the brand new Suburban. (Details are best left to your imagination.) He also loved the great game of golf and trips taken with (ret.) General Rose and the (ret.) Brigadier General Rose from the Army National Guard. One thing you could count on with Ray was his love of helping out his family, especially his grandsons, such as spending a day doing electrical work around the house with Branden, and advising and seeing Adam turn into the next “Red Eye Ray”--the great hunter--as he bagged his first deer this season. He had great pride in the accomplishments of Tyler “The Rut,” and Reilly, who are destined to do great things. To honor his absurd desire that his family would throw him a funeral where everyone would be crying, a private service will be held at a later date. A memorial visitation will be held at WarrenMcElwain Mortuary in Lawrence, 120 W 13th Street, Lawrence, KS. Saturday, January 30, 2016 from 2pm – 4pm. M e m o r i a l contributions may be made in his name to the Ray Christian Memorial Fund and may be sent in care of the mortuary. Online condolences may be sent to warrenmcelwain.com.

Fewer wrecks on 9th Street follow lane reduction

Bird of prey at play

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

A new city report shows fewer overall traffic collisions have occurred in a stretch of Ninth Street in the year after it was redesigned from four lanes to three — a project that’s been touted as a success in recent talks about reducing lanes along Kasold Drive. In their analysis, city staff found there had been a reduction in crashes — about 17 percent — in the year after the Ninth Street project was complete,

compared with the average of the previous three years. There was an average of 29 crashes per year from September 2011 through September 2014, and there were 24 from September 2014 to September 2015. “It was a noticeable difference, but obviously they are still occurring occasionally,” said City Engineer Dave Cronin. “I’m pleased to see the reduction. I think that was a successful project from the standpoint that we have seen that.”

— how it affects mill levies, all of those kinds of things,” Johnson said. That’s different than how some governments issue debt. A bond is essentially the way the school district takes out a loan to pay for big projects. The most recent bond issuance included $20.5 million of new debt to pay for a portion of the $92.5 million worth of school improvement approved by voters in 2013. The remaining $23.5 million was refinancing — much like a homeowner refinances their mortgage to get a lower interest rate — of previous debt the district had taken on in 2006. All the sales had a good credit rating, Aa2, assigned by Moody’s.

Ninth CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Because of higherthan-average crashes in the corridor, Ninth Street was re-striped from four to three lanes from Mississippi Street to Emery Road in 2014. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently one lane in each direction with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes. The project, which was debated at the time because it narrowed the lanes, was paid for through the Highway Safety Improvement Program from the Kansas Department of Transportation, as well as about $50,000 in city funds. According to the recent report, the intersections that prompted the project were Ninth Street and Emery Road and Ninth and Michigan Street. There had been concern that traffic collisions were caused when drivers making left turns from Ninth onto Emery Road and Michigan Street had to stop in a through lane and were struck by other vehicles. The report shows a decrease in crashes on

Bond CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The city of Lawrence and Douglas County also both issue bonds to pay for projects, with the city always using a bid process and the county using negotiated sales in certain circumstances. A bond bidding is usually open to banks, investment firms and other qualified bond buyers. The bid normally consists of those institutions stating what interest rate they would charge for the loan. An official with the city said that it follows the Government Finance Officers Association best practices for debt issues. Bryan Kidney, director of finance for the city, said for an issuer with a good credit rating in Kansas, his experience is that most independent municipal advisers would

Michigan Street from a high of eight in 2013 to one crash the year after the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion. But the number of collisions at Ninth and Emery increased by one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from seven crashes each in the three years prior to the re-striping to eight from 2014 to 2015. The occasional crashes are consistent everywhere, Cronin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve every problem.â&#x20AC;? Cronin said the city would continue to monitor crashes along the corridor and look at ways to improve Ninth Street. At a town hall meeting in September about proposed plans for Kasold Drive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a project thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been contested by those who live along the thoroughfare â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cronin said the city needed to look into whether there was a crash reduction with the Ninth Street redo. Though the projects and areas are different, Cronin said, Ninth Street has been brought up in the Kasold Drive conversation because of the proposed reduction in lanes. One of two options presented for Kasold Drive reduces traffic from two lanes in each direction to one, with a center turn

lane. The other option calls for four traffic lanes and a center turn lane. City staff has recommended the three-lane option, saying it would require fewer resources and be eligible for federal safety grants. Kasold Drive and Ninth Street have similar traffic volumes, Cronin said. Approximately 16,000 to 18,000 vehicles per day drive along that section of Ninth Street. Kasold Drive, from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the section up for reconstruction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sees anywhere from 14,000 to 16,000 per day. City commissioners were scheduled to make a decision on the reconstruction just prior to former Mayor Jeremy Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation in August. The consideration was deferred and now appears on a list of future agenda items without a date for when it will be addressed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still uncertain when it will be considered, but Cronin said Thursday that it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably soon, I suspect.â&#x20AC;?

Douglas County has done both bid and negotiated sales for its bonds. Officials said the particulars of the sale and circumstances of market would affect the decision to bid or negotiate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no one best way to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on the market situation, it depends on the size, it depends on a lot of variables.â&#x20AC;? For the school district, a key factor in deciding to do a negotiated sale was controlling the effect on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill levy. The Lawrence school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment with the $92.5 million bond issue

was that it would not increase taxes. The interest rate on the new bonds was about 2.3 percent. Johnson said to achieve a flat or decreasing mill levy, the district needed to structure the principal and interest in a certain way in certain years, and a competitive bid limits that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very little flexibility,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you set those parameters, you set your bid date, you stick it out there, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you have.â&#x20AC;? As part of the $44 million bond issue last week, financial advisers told the Lawrence school board that the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill levy will drop about 2 mills, which could lower property taxes or allow the district to issue additional bonds without increasing them. The ability to issue more bonds without increasing taxes is important because the school district began planning this month

for renovations to its six secondary schools. The renovations will amount to tens of millions of dollars and likely require another bond issue within the next two years, according to Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the district. But the bond issueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill levy was not the only consideration in the decision to do a negotiated sale. Johnson said other variables in the decision were the current market and the ability to generate interest premium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interest premium is not even something that you can ask for in a competitive bid; you either get it or you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as a result of the low bid,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Counties of any size in Kansas have double or triple the incarceration rate we have.” The credit, Weinaug said, should go to the sheriff’s office and the county’s partners who provide a range of programs meant to help inmates overcome problems. Those include substance-abuse and anger-management counseling, parenting classes, courses that allow inmates to get GEDs or high school diplomas and a wide range of mental health programs. But crowding has led to less effective use of jail space and the forced mixing of special-needs inmates — such as those with mental health issues — with other populations. Crowding has also led to the need to house from 60 to 70 inmates in other counties, costing the county tens of thousands dollars a month and decreasing the effectiveness of the jail’s programs, McGovern said. The concept of planning jails to help with the rehabilitation of inmates is not new, and it was incorporated into the design of the current jail. That design, like that of all modern jails, has different pods to segregate different classifications of prisoners. The most obvious segregation is the separation of male and female prisoners, but McGovern said the county jail also segregates male prisoners into five categories based on their criminal history and behavior. The problem is not only an increase in the jail’s population in the past 17 years, but that the nature of its inmate population has also changed, McGovern said. The schematics shared at the meeting will illustrate proposed solutions for two significant population changes much dis-

cussed at past town hall meetings: the increase in the number of female inmates and those with mental health issues. McGovern said when the jail opened, it had an average of 11 female inmates a day for the 24 beds available. The daily count of female inmates now numbers “40 and up,” he said. There also has been an increase in the number of women arrested for serious or violent crimes, which has created the need for the same kind of segregation by criminal history as exists among the male population. Another significant demographic change has been the growth in the number of inmates with mental health issues, McGovern said. About 17 percent of the jail’s inmates have serious mental illness, a percentage that increases to 30 percent among the jail’s female population, he said. Strategies with the twin goals of reducing the number of inmates with mental health issues in the county jail and providing access to appropriate and alternate mental health care treatment options have been part of jail expansion discussions from the start. The most noteworthy idea stemming from those discussions has been a crisis intervention center. The Douglas County Commission and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center have entered into a memorandum of understanding that would have the county build such a facility on land Bert Nash owns north of Second Street, near the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. A crisis center and other steps, such as training law enforcement officers to manage incidents with people in crisis in a way that doesn’t lead to an arrest, won’t eliminate the need to house in the county jail violent inmates with

mental illness or those thought to be a flight risk, McGovern said. The goal is to house them in an environment where they can get better, and not among general populations as they are now, he said. One response to the mental health issues the county jail and justice system are encountering was fact-finding tours by a group of county leaders and stakeholders in the last year to study successful programs and facilities in other jurisdictions. Particularly instructive was a September visit to St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., Weinaug said. One thing they learned from that visit was that inmates with mental illness respond better to environments with light and fresh air, Weinaug said. Architectural renderings to be shared Monday of the mental illness pod will reflect those insights, he said. Another need the expansion would address is an intake pod, which would house newly incarcerated male prisoners until they are assigned to one of the other five levels, McGovern said. Currently in all but obvious cases, newly incarcerated male prisoners are placed in the jail’s midlevel pod and, based on correctional staff’s observations, move up, down or stay in that initial classification. Although Monday’s meeting is an important step, it won’t be the end of the process of developing the jail’s design and what will most likely be a countywide referendum on a proposal to build and pay for the expansion and crisis intervention center. “Monday’s meeting will help give commissioners and the public the information needed to make decisions on the future of the jail,” McGovern said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

Death CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a Kansas Supreme Court ruling and upheld the death sentences of three convicted murderers in Kansas, including Jonathan and Reginald Carr, the two brothers who killed five people and attempted to kill a sixth during a crime spree in Wichita in December 2000. In the same opinion, the court also reversed the Kansas court in another death penalty case, that of Sidney Gleason, who was convicted of the 2004 murder of a Great Bend couple, because the decision in that case was based on the court’s ruling in the Carr brothers case. Those were the second and third cases in which the U.S. high court reversed the Kansas court on death penalty cases. In 2013, the U.S. court also upheld the death sentence of Scott Cheever, who shot and killed Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels in 2005. Kansas reinstated the death penalty in 1994, and since then several people have been sentenced to death. But so far, no one has been executed because the Kansas Supreme Court has consistently overturned or vacated their sentences, usually on procedural grounds. In 2014, the Kansas court vacated the Carr brothers’ sentences, thrusting the court itself into the middle of election-year politics.

Two of the court’s justices, Eric Rosen and Lee Johnson, were up for retention that year, and both of them won, but by much narrower margins than usual. Now, with that infamous massacre back in the spotlight, some supporters of repeal say it will be hard to vote for it without appearing like they’re letting the Carr brothers off the hook, even though the repeal bill, as it’s currently drafted, would not apply retroactively to them. “I’m sure some would perceive that,” said Rep. John Barker, R-Abilene, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, where the bill could be referred. “But I look at it from a different perspective. You have your personal convictions, whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice, whether you’re for the death penalty or against the death penalty. Normally (a court ruling) doesn’t change your personal convictions. It may add pressure that they don’t want to go forward this year, though.” Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence, another cosponsor of the bill, said he is also hopeful that the Carr brothers decision won’t affect how lawmakers vote on the issue. “The bill is not retroactive, so any existing death sentences could still be carried out,” he said. Highberger also said the movement to abolish the death penalty has been gaining momentum among conservatives. “The conservative ar-

gument, as I understand it is, one, the death penalty is an inefficient government program,” he said. “We’ve spent millions of dollars on it and we haven’t executed anyone since 1965.” “Also,” he said, “I think people are finally realizing it might be inconsistent with conservative beliefs about small government and limited government. If you only believe in limited government, do you want government having the power to kill people?” But Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and is a supporter of the death penalty, said he doesn’t buy the argument that the law is ineffective because it hasn’t been used yet. “The three decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court that have prevented the death penalty have all been overturned by the United States Supreme Court,” he said. “The misapplication of the federal Constitution by the Kansas Supreme Court cannot be used as a justification for repealing the law.” On Monday, House Speaker Ray Merrick, RStilwell, is expected to refer the death penalty bill to a committee. Barker said it will be up to Merrick and the House GOP leadership team to decide whether the bill will get a hearing, and whether it will ever be voted on by the full House. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Double standard A system that doesn’t require Kansas natives to present proof of citizenship to register to vote discriminates against other qualified voters simply on the basis of where they were born.

n addition to running a two-tiered election system, it appears the Kansas secretary of state also is using a twotiered system to enforce the state’s proofof-citizenship law for voter registration. Some Kansas voters have to present proof of their citizenship and some do not. In recent weeks, several instances came to light where voters who hadn’t presented a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship suddenly learned their voter registrations nonetheless had been completed. Several anecdotal incidents have been cited in Lawrence and, in a couple of instances, Secretary of State Kris Kobach sought to have lawsuits related to voter registration thrown out because his office had completed the plaintiffs’ registrations and they no longer had standing to pursue their court action. How did that happen? Well, although it hasn’t been widely publicized, the secretary of state entered into an interagency agreement about two years ago with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment under which all voter registrations that were being held “in suspense” by the secretary of state would be checked against Kansas birth records. The secretary of state supplies detailed information from the voter registration form, including name, gender, date of birth, and the last four digits of the person’s Social Security number, to KDHE, which uses that information to see if it can find a matching Kansas birth certificate that could then be used to confirm the voter’s citizenship. In some circumstances, KDHE also was directed to use Kansas marriage license records to try to find people who have married and changed their names. A representative of Kobach’s office said last week that the birth certificates were an additional “service” provided by the secretary of state. It certainly is a service for Kansas natives, but it clearly discriminates against people who were born or married elsewhere. While someone who is born in Kansas apparently can rely on the secretary of state to confirm their citizenship status, those born elsewhere still have to present proof. Even someone who was born in Kansas but married and changed his or her name in another state would be overlooked with the current system. The state’s proof-of-citizenship statute gives the secretary of state and county election officers the authority to confirm an applicant’s citizenship “in a different manner,” but that doesn’t justify a process that involves systematic discrimination against qualified voters who weren’t born in Kansas. Interestingly, some Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would formalize that discrimination by dropping the requirement for Kansas natives to provide proof of citizenship — but Kobach says he opposes that measure. Checking registrations against birth certificates serves the desirable purpose of reducing the number of registrations being held “in suspense” — a list that has produced significant adverse publicity for Kobach’s office — but it also involves a double standard that discriminates against wouldbe Kansas voters who are U.S. citizens but were born outside of Kansas. If the state is going to look up birth certificates for Kansas natives, it has an obligation to offer the same “service” to people born elsewhere. If it is unwilling or unable to do that, the current practice may leave the state open to criticism — and perhaps legal action — related to a registration process that discriminates against an entire class of Kansas voters.

Court may rein in executive reach Washington — During Watergate, Henry Kissinger’s mordant wit leavened the unpleasantness: “The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.” President Obama often does both simultaneously, using executive authoritarianism to evade the Constitution’s separation of powers and rewrite existing laws. Last week, however, the Supreme Court took a perhaps momentous step toward correcting some of the constitutional vandalism that will be Obama’s most significant legacy. The court agreed to rule on Obama’s unilateral revision of immigration law. Seeking re-election in 2012, Obama stretched the idea of “prosecutorial discretion” — supposedly “on an individual basis” — to cover a delay in efforts to deport approximately 770,000 people who were brought to America illegally as children. But he said that with this he had reached the limit of his powers: “If we start broadening (this executive action), then essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally.” In 2014, however, he expanded the sweep and protections of that program. His executive fiat would have shielded perhaps 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with children who are U.S. citizens or lawful residents. His expansion made them eligible to work and receive Social Security retirement and disability benefits, Medicare, the earned income tax credit, unemployment insurance,

When they won an injunction, the Obama administration appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. It lost there, too, and then asked the Supreme Court to rule on the legality of Obama’s action. The court should not, and probably will not, rule for the president. The court has asked to be briefed on a matter the administration must be reluctant to address; the Justice Department requested that the court not insert a “constitutional question” into the case. The question the court will consider is: Did Obama’s action violate the

Take Care Clause? Obama has sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution,” which says the president shall “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Josh Blackman of the South Texas College of Law in Houston and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute in Washington says that only three times has the court relied on the Take Care Clause to limit executive actions, and the justices have never asked for a briefing on this clause. In their brief, the states argue that “Congress has created a detailed, complex statutory scheme for determining” who qualifies for “lawful presence” in this country. No statute empowers the executive to grant this status to any illegal immigrant it chooses not to deport, let alone to confer “lawful presence” status on a class of many millions. The states say presidents cannot “change an alien’s statutory immigration classification.” So, Obama is not merely exercising discretion in enforcing the Immigration and Nationality Act. He is altering this act so that previously prohibited conduct no longer violates the act. Executive overreach has been increasing for decades. For example, although the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was for financial institutions, the George W. Bush administration diverted more than $17 billion for auto companies. Obama’s usual justification for his unusually numerous unilateral

legislating is that Congress refuses to act on this or that subject. But regarding who qualifies for legal status and for the right to work, Congress has acted with notable specificity. Obama simply wants to grant to millions of people various benefits in violation of Congress’ will as written into law. For seven years, Obama has treated the Take Care Clause as a mild suggestion. He considers it insignificant compared to his virtuous determination to “work around” Congress in order to impose his policies regarding immigration, health care, education, contraception, welfare, gun control, environmentalism, gay rights, unauthorized wars and other matters. Both leading Democratic presidential candidates praise Obama’s radical understanding of the Constitution’s Article II presidential powers. The leading Republican candidate would replace the Constitution’s 7,591 words with the first-person singular pronoun: He promises many unilateral presidential wonders, including a global trade war and a more holy national vocabulary: “If I’m president, you’re going to see ‘Merry Christmas’ in department stores.” But no Obama executive order has yet repealed Article III’s judicial powers. So, come June we will learn whether the judicial branch will do its duty by policing the borders of the separation of powers. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Vet’s woes not a political opportunity The police report paints a confusing and chaotic picture. Apparently, the young man and his girlfriend got into an argument over her ex-boyfriend. At some point, things became physical. When police arrived, they say they found the young man outside his parent’s home, where he lives. He was belligerent, evasive and stank of alcohol. He had a bruised eye, which he attributed to his girlfriend throwing an elbow. According to the police report, the girlfriend was found upstairs in the house, hiding under a bed, crying. She also had an eye injury from where she said her boyfriend had punched her with a closed fist. She also said he kicked her and threatened to kill himself with an AR-15 rifle. “Do you think I won’t do it?” he cried. The young man was arrested. And it was all Barack Obama’s fault. That, at least, is what 26-year-old Track Palin’s mother, Sarah, suggested to the audience at a Donald Trump rally in Tulsa last week, the day after Track, a combat veteran, was taken into custody. “My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different.

They come back wondering if there is that respect for what their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military have given so sacrificially to this country, and that starts at the top. “It is,” she continued, “a shame that our military personnel even have to question, have to wonder if they’re respected anymore. It starts from the top … comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, ‘Do you know what we go through? Do you know

what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?’” Vote Trump, she said, so that, “America’s finest will have that commander in chief who will respect them and honor them.” Someone asked on Twitter whether this meant President Obama is also responsible for daughter Bristol’s two unwed pregnancies. Probably shouldn’t give Sarah any ideas. To be fair: The scandal over the failure of Obama’s Department of Veterans Affairs to provide timely medical care for American service personnel is a disgrace; any flak the administration takes for it is richly deserved. That said, it takes a leap worthy of Jesse Owens to suggest this is why Track Palin got arrested. His mother’s clumsy attempt to shift blame for what he allegedly did speaks volumes about the devolution of conservatism in the last two decades. Like them or not, agree with them or don’t, conservatives used to espouse clear and consistent values, one of which was an impatience with the so-called culture of victimization. But in recent years, who has cried

“victim” more than they? To hear them tell it, they are a people perennially under siege from a “War on Christmas,” a “War on Whites,” a “War on Males,” political correctness, same-sex marriage and, of course, that old standby, liberal media bias. Now here is one of conservatism’s biggest stars claiming her son is a victim after he allegedly beat up his girlfriend in a drunken rage. What used to be a consistent principle has shrunk into the kind of situational morality conservatives once abhorred, a “say anything-ism” in which the only consistent ideal is that you never pass up any opportunity to damage the president. Palin’s willingness to use her own son in that cause is repellent. One reads little actual concern for him — or his girlfriend — in her remarks. And that is sad. What kind of mother looks at her son’s domestic-violence arrest and thinks, political opportunity? Track Palin is obviously a troubled young man. One hopes he gets the help he needs. His mom could use some, too. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Recess CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The board set out to see how it could increase the 30 minutes built into the elementary schedule, but found some students werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even getting that. Part of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern over recess time is that recent research has found that unstructured playtime is important not only for exercise and social interaction, but also as a mental break needed to help students learn. Sanburn said part of the issue is looking into why teachers are opting to give their students less recess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to know more about why some teachers are utilizing that time in instructional ways and how that works for them and their justification for it before saying that they absolutely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that time anymore,â&#x20AC;? she said. The district report, which was delivered to the board at its last meeting, indicated that some Lawrence students only get 15 minutes of recess in the seven-hour school day. The Kansas State Department of Education policy allows for 30 minutes of time per day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; half in the morning and the rest in the afternoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to count toward the total instructional time required.

Balancing recess and instruction The report indicates that for Lawrence students in kindergarten through second grade, schedules are set evenly. Those students get the two 15-minute recess breaks per day provided by KSDE policy. But for students in third through fifth grade, some schools give those grades one 15-minute recess break while other schools give them two. Sanburn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose daughter attends one of the schools that give less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; acknowledged the transition to one 15-minute recess was tough for her daughter, but also recognized the pressure on schools and teachers to cover a lot of material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot to balance,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a whole lot of requirements that are put on public schools in terms of curriculum that needs to be covered and standards that need to be met.â&#x20AC;? Though, considering the research, Sanburn said it is not necessarily a choice between recess and instruction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of research that would suggest a lot of those (curriculum) goals become easier to meet when kids have lots of good, unstructured activity time, because their brains are more receptive,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said. Increasing recess beyond 30 minutes per day is a complicated process, but was part of the original intent of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. Because only 30 minutes of recess is allowed to count toward instructional time, increasing recess time would likely mean increasing the length of the school day or adding a few days to the school year. Sanburn said any additions would require an increase in teacher pay, which makes such a change unlikely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asking people to work more and not give them more compensation really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something people would agree to, which makes complete sense to me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think given the financial situation that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to.â&#x20AC;?

A district health official said that teachers have been taught to use physical activities that can be incorporated into their lessons. For example, doing jumping jacks and counting them in multiples to learn multiplication tables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows the students to get back on task and engaged in their instruction,â&#x20AC;? said Denise Johnson, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum coordinator for health and wellness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes it takes just three or four minutes to do an activity and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back ready to go.â&#x20AC;? Johnson was an elementary teacher prior to her current position, and even with physical movement in the classroom, she said the fact that some students are getting less recess than others is a concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would want equity; that is exactly what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working towards,â&#x20AC;? she said. Differences among schools Johnson is the district administrator responsible for the wellness goal, and she collected the data for the report. She said the report is based off gradelevel schedules provided by administrators at each of the elementary schools in the district. Administrators and teachers create the schedule for each grade, which includes setting the recess time. The report noted average recess time in the district is 25.7 minutes for fourth-graders and 21.4 minutes for fifth-graders, and Johnson later confirmed that those figures are below 30 minutes because some schools were only giving students 15 minutes of recess per day. According to further information provided to the Journal-World by district spokeswoman Julie Boyle, all 14 of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools give students in kindergarten through second grade 30 minutes of recess per day, but recess time is not uniform across grade levels for students in third through fifth grade. In third grade, 13 schools give students 30 minutes, except for Sunset Hill. In fourth grade, three schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sunset Hill, Quail Run and Pinckney â&#x20AC;&#x201D; give 15 minutes while all others give 30. In fifth grade, eight schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sunset Hill, Quail Run, Pinckney, Hillcrest, Broken Arrow, Kennedy, Sunflower and Woodlawn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; give 15 minutes while all others give 30. But just because a recess is scheduled doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ensure all students head outside to play. Without a recess policy, there is also no rule that says teachers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recess as punishment. The information collected by the district did not measure if recess was taken away as punishment. While there is not a policy, Johnson said the district

LAWRENCE â&#x20AC;˘ STATE practice is not to take away recess, and schools have put positive reinforcement methods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as awarding tickets for good behavior that students can spend at a school store â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in place to give teachers an alternative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is something we talk about with our buildings, and just being a responsible teacher youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to figure out what the issues are, talking to parents and trying to figure out what another consequence could be in order to deter that behavior,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

Creating a policy Despite the 30 minutes of recess built into elementary schedules, 63 percent of Kansas elementary students have 20 minutes or less for recess, according to a recent survey by the Kansas State Board of Education. The survey also found 41 percent of schools have policies prohibiting recess from being withheld as a punishment. Sanburn said consideration of a district recess policy is an option, especially because ensuring every elementary student gets 30 minutes wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require an adjustment to the state policy or the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a board member, I am interested in continuing to look at that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That being an area that we have an ability to make an impact without having to petition for changes seems like a really good opportunity.â&#x20AC;? When providing the information indicating which schools were providing less recess than others, Boyle said via email that the district will look at making sure recess times are equal for students in the same grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal this year â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to investigate increases in time for physical movement with emphasis on recess,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the district will be working toward making elementary recess uniform across grade levels,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

Traditionally, even successful insurgent candidates (like Mike Huckabee, who won the GOP Iowa caucuses in 2008, and Rick Santorum, the winner there four years later) have struggled to convert that momentum into enough money to go the distance. But the rise of super PACs and increasingly fecund online fundraising have reduced that problem, allowing more candidates to hang in there and inhibiting the

More than 60 million people were under blizzard, winter storm or freezing rain warnings as the storm’s effects stretched from Georgia to Massachusetts, according to Weather.com. About 250,000 customers were without power as the storm roared up the East Coast, according to the Weather Channel. At least 18 people died in storm-related crashes in Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia, the Associated Press reported. In Fort Washington, Md., one man died of an apparent heart attack while shoveling snow. Eleven states from Georgia to New York declared states of emergency.

POLITICAL JUNKIE’S DREAM, POLITICO’S NIGHTMARE:

CHAOS IN CLEVELAND A contested GOP convention could test the party and system Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

It’s probably too good (or too bad) to be true: a Republican National Convention with multiple ballots, rules fights, floor demonstrations, dark horses and favorite sons — just like an old-time convention, minus the smokefilled rooms. The hall doesn’t allow smoking. The GOP has a large, bunched field of well-funded presidential candidates, and front-runner Donald Trump is unpalatable to many party regulars. That has combined to raise hopes for (and fears of ) the first contested convention in four decades and the first since 1952 to go beyond one ballot. “It’s the dream of every political junkie and the nightmare of every political campaign,’’ says Terry Madonna, director of the Franklin & Marshall College Poll. The last state primaries are June 7. Afterward, if no one has the 1,237 delegates to be nominated, the result would be a standoff. GOP super election lawyer Ben Ginsberg argued last month in The Wall Street Journal that if several candidates wind up a few hundred votes shy of a majority, “this historical anomaly would produce a real-life experiment in how button-downed, conservative Republicans deal with pure chaos.’’ Most analysts doubt it will come to that. “The system has a way of taking chaos and making it less chaotic,’’ says Josh Putnam, whose Frontloading HQ blog cov-

And a June standoff would most likely prompt a furious round of wheeling and dealing to resolve the nomination before delegates arrive at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

Under threat, fantasy sports industry ramps up lobbying

Rivals DraftKings, FanDuel open their wallets to ‘stay on top’ of federal probes

Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Lobbying activity by fantasy sports sites has surged recently, as the industry faces increasing scrutiny from the federal government and state officials. The daily fantasy sports website DraftKings spent $80,000 on federal lobbying over the last three months of 2015, reports filed last week with the U.S. Senate show. Rival FanDuel spent $20,000 in the same period. Those are small amounts compared with the $260,000 spent by

the National Football League in the same period. Yet both sites hired their first federal lobbyists last October. Their move came amid reports of a possible Justice Department investigation and shortly after New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, called for a hearing into whether fantasy sports should be considered a form of gambling. “We are actively engaged with elected legislators and regulators across the country and in Washington to ensure that the millions of fantasy sports fans across the country can continue to play the

The order, effective midafternoon, shut down state highways and two major routes on Long Island. Above-ground subway stations in New York City were also being closed as the storm continued to pound the area. Under the ban, only emergency vehicles will be allowed on the streets, and drivers who ignore the order could face heavy fines and license points, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. In response, all Broadway matinees and evening performances for Saturday night were canceled, according to The Broadway League, the official website of the Broadway theater industry. Asked for advice for parents whose kids wants to frolic in the snow, Mayor Bill de Blasio laced empathy with caution. “If you want to go really quickly to someplace near your home, stay with your kids — adult supervision necessary,” he said. “This is a vastly intensifying storm and it’s slippery, it’s gusty. I, as a parent, wouldn’t let my kids out of my sight.” ‘STAY AT HOME AND OFF THE ROADS’

For a few thousand dollars, you can spend the night in what may be the original smoke-filled room — the “Smoke Filled Suite’’ at the Renaissance Blackstone Hotel in Chicago, site of the epic 1920 Republican National Convention. The three-room, ninth-floor corner suite has a fireplace, chandelier and floor from the period. It may be the same space where cigar-chomping party bosses were meeting when they chose Sen. Warren G. Harding, who’d gotten only 7% of the first ballot votes, as the compromise nominee in a deadlocked convention. The term may have been coined by reporters at the scene

Some accounts list the original smoke-filled room as 404, but the hotel says it was far more likely the suite. The convention, which tapped Harding on the 10th ballot, is one of several that induce a powerful nostalgia among political junkies tired of the scripted pageantry of contemporary conventions.

DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK CITY, 1924 The longest continuously running convention in U.S. political history (June 24–July 9) took a record 103 ballots to nominate John Davis. The influence of the Ku Klux Klan and the sweltering heat gave it a nickname: “The Klanbake.”

DEMOCRATS IN CHICAGO, 1932 In one of history’s turning points, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated on the fourth ballot after FDR and his political operative James Farley outmaneuvered their chief rival (and former ally), Alfred Smith. FDR subsequently abolished the rule requiring a two-thirds majority for nomination.

On Capitol Hill in Washington,

people emerged in the early afternoon to shovel their sidewalks, dig out their cars and walk their dogs. Some wore skis to get around, others dragged sleds toward the Capitol, where they could legally ride the sleds this year. But by 3 p.m., the snowfall picked up once again and visibility diminished. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser urged residents not only to stay off the roads in vehicles but not to walk on the streets. She said too many people were walking down the middle of the largely empty streets, hampering the work of snow plows and endangering themselves. “Visibility is poor and you cannot be seen,” Bowser said. “We need you to stay home.” In Delaware, Gov. Jack Markell banned all but essential personnel from driving on the roadways in Kent and New Castle counties. “With so much snow accumulating on our roads, conditions are becoming dangerous for any more traffic than absolutely necessary,” Markell said Saturday, The News-Journal reported. TIDAL FLOODING SWAMPS COASTAL AREAS

Along the Delaware and New Jersey coasts, icy floodwaters pushed inland by the storm were surging into neighborhoods. In Sea Isle, N.J., tidal flooding sent a river of ice flowing several blocks down JFK Boulevard through a major retail area. Darren Laricks, a dispatcher with the Sea Isle Police Department, said the water was beginning to recede in the main street before noon but was expected to return at high tide after 7 p.m.

“We’re just waiting for the water to subside,” Laricks said. He said no injuries were reported from the high water, which, Laricks said, was almost as high as during Superstorm Sandy in 2012. “When the water just started rushing down, it was as impressive as some of the videos you saw of Japan during the tsunamis,” said Jason Pellegrini, owner of Steak Out restaurant in Sea Isle City, who was trapped inside by floodwaters. “It came in that fast,” he told AP. TRAPPED ON HIGHWAY FOR HOURS

Outside the big cities, travelers were not faring much better. Virginia State Police reported 989 car crashes statewide by late Friday and had assisted nearly 800 disabled vehicles, said Ken Schrad, spokesman for the Virginia State Police Joint Information Center. In Pennsylvania, the National Guard helped motorists stranded along the westbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bedford and Somerset counties, officials said, according to PennLive. Some travelers reported being stuck for at least 10 hours after tractor-trailers had trouble climbing a steep portion of the roadway near the Allegheny Mountain Tunnel. Large portions of Interstate 75 in Kentucky were in gridlock for hours, with a six-mile backup at one point because of wreckage, AP reported. Contributing: Kevin McCoy in New York

winnowing that traditionally produces a nominee. BOUND BY RULES — OR NOT

After the 2008 election, the Republicans decided their rivals had benefited from the long and spirited race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. So they changed their rules to make more of the primary election vote proportional, as opposed to winnertake-all. Despite subsequent tinkering, the rules still tend to extend the season. This year, they may work too well. Beyond proportionality, state rules governing delegates are many and varied, and the campaigns’ familiarity with them (or with the delegates themselves) may be limited. Delegates must vote for the candidates to whom they are bound by primary or caucus only on the convention’s first presidential ballot. (They don’t have to vote with them on rules and other matters.) Most (but not all) states’ delegates become free agents after the first ballot. While candidates can withdraw and release their delegates, they can’t direct them to vote for anyone else. And because some delegates are not directly elected as supporters of a candidate, but picked by party leaders or meetings, their loyalty after the first ballot has to be suspect. THE DONALD J. TRUMP EFFECT

Trump leads the national polls, and as such would ordinarily be the candidate around whom the party could eventually rally and push over 1,237 before the convention. Except for two things. First, the same unconventional campaign that has won Trump the support of about a third of likely Republican primary voters may prevent him from approaching 50%. Second, party leaders generally believe Trump would be less than optimal against Clinton in the general election if she becomes the Democratic nominee. So instead of helping this front-runner consolidate, they could try to block him. CONVENTION MARATHONS: MASTODONS

Almost every four years, there’s talk of, and sometimes even planning for, a contested, brokered or deadlocked convention like the Republicans’ in 1920 (10 ballots) or the Democrats’ in 1924 (103). But there hasn’t been a multiballot convention since 1952 or a contested one since 1976. A winnowing tendency that transcends the vagaries of election rules and fundraising helps explain why.

MCCAIN MUM ON PALIN’S TRUMP ENDORSEMENT Sarah Palin re-emerged on the national stage last week, announcing her endorsement of Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination. Palin, of course, was the party’s vice presidential nominee during the 2008 campaign. Last summer, McCain was the target of one of Trump’s sharpest barbs, as the New York billionaire said McCain’s status as a war hero was based on the fact that he was captured. “I like people that weren’t captured, OK?” Trump told an Iowa crowd. Fast-forward six months. Does McCain have any thoughts on his former running mate’s decision? “I have no idea,” McCain said, according to CNN. His daughter, Meghan McCain, however, was less reserved. “It is hard for me to watch her endorse Donald Trump after what Donald Trump said about my father’s service, just on a personal level,” she said on Fox Business Network.

CLINTON PICKS UP ENDORSEMENT; SANDERS RISES IN POLLS The increasingly tight battle between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential race is picking up steam as the opening contests near. Last week, Clinton picked up the backing of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization. “We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for president and believe that she is the champion we can count on in November — and every day she occupies the Oval Office,” Chad Griffin, the group’s president, said in a statement. Meanwhile, a CNN/WMUR poll showed Sanders with a big lead over Clinton, 60% to 33%, in New Hampshire — a state she won during her 2008 primary fight against Barack Obama. Sanders has consistently led recent New Hampshire polls, though other surveys have the race much tighter than the CNN/ WMUR poll.

At a town hall in Exeter, N.H., Sen. Ted Cruz said he is taking hits from rivals over his opposition to ethanol subsidies.

Sen. Marco Rubio told a town hall in Plymouth that he represents a new generation of leaders.

Candidates seeking to be the alternative to the front-runner

Hampshire House on Wednesday, just a few hours after hosting a town hall in Plymouth. He told voters there that he represents a new generation of leadership and that “the choice will soon be yours.” He also predicted the now-split Republican Party will come together behind the eventual nominee. “At the end of the day, we’re all going to be on the same team, I hope,” Rubio said. Cruz, a Texas senator, conducted a bus tour of the state last week and hopes that momentum from Iowa will fuel him this week in New Hampshire. A CNN/ WMUR poll out Wednesday showed him in second place in the state, though trailing Trump by 20 points. During a town hall Wednesday in Exeter, Cruz said that establishment politicians are trying to derail his bid in Iowa because he opposes federal ethanol subsidies. “I’m getting hit, literally, with millions of dollars of attacks on exactly this issue,” Cruz said. New Hampshire Republicans say they’re enjoying what for them is an unusually crowded race. “Everybody that’s here is interested in what’s happening,” said Constance Powers, 80, a retired nurse from Hopkinton. She attended the Kasich town hall at the nearby American Legion hall. “They’re paying attention.” While famously independent New Hampshire voters don’t like the idea of following Iowa’s lead, the caucuses could have an impact on this year’s “first-in-thenation” primary — especially if Cruz defeats Trump in Iowa, piercing the billionaire’s “winning” persona. “If he falls in Iowa, will he be the kind of candidate who can rebound here?” wondered Dante Scala, associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire.

PROTESTERS GET THEIR WAY

There could be another presidential candidate soon: former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. The New York Times is reporting Bloomberg has “instructed advisers to draw up plans” for what could be an independent run for the White House this fall. Bloomberg is said to be “galled by Donald J. Trump’s dominance of the Republican field, and troubled by Hillary Clinton’s stumbles and the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on the Democratic side,” the Times reports. A decision is expected within a couple of months. Reports the Times: “Mr. Bloomberg, 73, has already taken concrete steps toward a possible campaign, and has indicated to friends and allies that he would be willing to spend at least $1 billion of his fortune on it, according to people briefed on his deliberations who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his plans. He has set a deadline for making a final decision in early March, the latest point at which advisers believe Mr. Bloomberg could enter the race and still qualify to appear as an independent candidate on the ballot in all 50 states.” — David Jackson

Around 5:20 p.m. Friday, a group of people stopped to help a motorist who slid off the road in Catawba. The group called the sheriff’s office for help, and when the driver heard them calling law enforcement, he began shooting,

authorities say. The Samaritans ran and one was shot. That’s when, according to the sheriff’s office, the driver, Marvin Lee, approached and continued firing on the victim. According to authorities, Lee appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The suspect returned to the vehicle. A tactical team responded, and Lee was pepper-sprayed and taken into custody. The name of the victim has not yet been released. — WCNC-TV, Charlotte

House GOP probes on 2016 issues heat up Abortion and those blasted emails Paul Singer USA TODAY

The 2016 presidential campaign apparently is going to play out in part in Congress, as House Republicans gear up three probes on topics likely to be high on the party’s campaign agenda: abortion, President Obama’s executive orders and Hillary Clinton’s emails. The House Science panel issued letters last week to companies that provided technical services for Clinton’s privately owned email server, beginning a probe of whether her email system complied with federal standards for government email security.

2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, has repeatedly said he does not plan on pursuing Clinton’s unusual email arrangement. Science Chairman Lamar Smith, RTexas, appears prepared to take on that task. “Understanding these companies’ roles in providing software and services to maintain former secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server is critical to improving government cybersecurity standards,” Smith said. Smith’s letter came two days after House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, RVa., announced a new task force to hold a six-month investigation of “executive overreach.” Rep. Steve King, who will chair the task force, told USA TODAY, “The president has scooped power into the White House that was designed constitutionally for the United States Congress. Article I (which outlines congressional authority) has been rendered significantly less powerful under the Obama presidency — but it has been going on for a long time.” King said Republican presidents are not blameless, nor is a Republican Congress that has failed to stop the trend. The House also is just organizing the new Energy and Commerce subcommittee created last year to investigate abortion practices after undercover videos were released last year that suggested Planned Parenthood was profiting from the sale of fetal tissue from abortions.

UBER GIVES DRIVERS IN INDIA A SALARY AND SOCIAL MOBILITY

As their own boss, workers plot route out of poverty Trisha Thadani @TrishaThadani USA TODAY

MUMBAI , INDIA In this bustling metropolis with a gaping disparity between the rich and poor, Uber provides more than convenient transportation at the touch of a button. For Rajendra Jadhav, 32, driving for Uber gives him the opportunity for social mobility among the city’s rigid class barriers. Jadhav, who lives in a slum in a suburb of Mumbai, said he works about 15 hours a day and makes the equivalent of $896 a month. A steady income means Jadhav can afford to send his three children to school and perhaps one day move his five-person family out of the slums and into an apartment. “I would always like to make more, but for now, this will do,” he said. Jadhav is among the 250,000 Uber drivers across 26 cities in India, the third-largest market for Uber behind the United States and China. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently called Uber the

When Uber was introduced in Mumbai in 2014, the city was the company’s fastest-growing market in Asia, said Shailesh Sawlani, general manager of Uber Mumbai. At first, the average wait time was 25 minutes for a car — now it is five. A typical Uber driver here makes about $746 to $1,343 a month — considered a comfortable middle-class salary and about what an entry-level business analyst makes in India. Sawlani said Uber also offers drivers flexibility and the empowerment of being their own boss, but the amount a driver makes

depends on how much time is spent on the road. Driver Bhim Sen, 20, said he earns an average $32 a day, but some days as little as $22. “I would like more money, but there’s only so much you can do,” said Sen, who was a private driver before joining Uber. “As long as I’m online, I’ll earn. But if I’m offline to eat or take a break, I am automatically losing money,” he said. Although other private driving firms offer similar incomes, Sen and several other Uber drivers said they switched to the ridehailing service because of delayed payments and disorganization. “Before I would put in the time, but not get the equivalent money for the amount of work I did,” Sen said from behind the wheel of his car. “With Uber, I put in the same amount of time, and I get the money,” he said. Driver Manohar Gulabrao Jadhav, 38, said he makes about $300 a month with Uber — more than he used to make as a truck driver. The San Francisco-based Uber plans to invest $1 billion in its Indian market and to increase daily ridership to 1 million from 200,000 this year. While Uber India is a welcome opportunity and service for some, it also brings along some controversy. A rape case by a New Delhi

Uber’s presence also upset local taxi firms, prompting protests, petitions and legislative proposals, as has happened in other cities around the world. Uber India has experienced steady growth since it launched in the country in 2013 and has a 40% market share, but it is still not the market leader. The biggest competitor is India-based Ola, which claims it provides nearly four times as many rides per day as Uber.

Tupperware, with women holding a third of the top 6% of positions, and Unilever, with women accounting for 43% of the employees in the top 9% of the company’s leadership, posted the best numbers. “If you start with parity on Day One, why aren’t we making progress? I think you need to do something different,” said Dennis Nally, chairman of PwC. “We need to have an intervention throughout the process on how we managed careers.” Another handful of male CEOs from global corporations, including Barclays, Cisco, Marriott, Mercer and UBS, have also committed to increase gender diversity in the workplace. Men make up 80% of the executive ranks in the world’s top corporations, according to Mercer, a human resources consulting firm with 20,500 employees in more than 40 countries. “I don’t think we should sit in boardrooms without women,” said Jurg Zeltner, CEO of UBS Wealth Management. Devin Wenig, of eBay, sees such diversity as a business imperative. One-half of eBay’s 170 million active customers are women, he said. “We could employ all guys in Silicon Valley, but that’s not going to help us understand our customer,” Wenig said. “Most businesses state that they want to hire and promote and retain more women,” said Saadia Zahidi, head of employment and gender initiatives at the World Economic Forum. “Where there seems to be a failure is in the action.”

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE ALPHABET STALKS APPLE In a nutshell: Alphabet, the company formerly known as Google, may be giving Apple, the world’s most valuable company, a run for its money. The star: On Friday, Alphabet traded at a value above $500 billion, just 10% less than Apple’s current valuation. Apple shares have been struggling mightily as the smartphone market becomes oversaturated. Despite a 5.3% gain Friday to close at $101.42, shares are still 24% off their 52-week high. The money: Alphabet’s sales are forecast to grow about 15% this year. This wind at Alphabet’s back and the possibility that its self-driving cars, robots or medical endeavors will pay off help explain why it commands a price-to-earnings multiple above 20. A disappointing earnings report from Apple this week, or a better-than-expected one from Alphabet next week, could perhaps put a new name on the top of the world’s most valuable companies list.

ON THE FRONT BURNER IRAN OIL BIZ PICKING UP Greece’s largest refinery Hellenic Petroleum has agreed to buy oil from the National Iranian Oil Co., marking the first sale of Iranian crude to a European country since the lifting of trade sanctions against the Middle Eastern nation. Hellenic Petroleum said late Friday the two sides have “reached a long-term agreement,” with deliveries to start immediately, according to a post in The Wall Street Journal. IN THE HOT SEAT LOSS OF MOMENTUM? The Apple veteran tasked with leading its efforts to build an electric car — a project dubbed “Titan,” with a 2019 ship date — is leaving the company, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. Steve Zadesky, after 16 years with Apple, is said to be leaving for personal reasons. His exit would mark a setback for one of the most hyped tech projects. Wonder if they’ll meet the deadline.

DAVOS

George Soros is bearish on global markets, and on Europe in particular. Chuck Robbins, chief executive of Cisco, is bullish on technology opportunities. Axel Weber, head of UBS, is optimistic, in part because others are pessimistic. Davos is where dreams and realities collide, and the front line this year is where the dream of technology meets the reality of slowing economies, falling oil prices and turmoil in financial markets. For every Sheryl Sandberg brimming with enthusiasm while showing off Facebook’s latest connectivity research to Tony Blair at a party, or Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taking a selfie with a group of young Davos “shapers,” there is a worried European central banker or hedge fund chief. Worried that China, oil, Middle Eastern asset-selling and even the possibility Britain could withdraw from the European Union will lead to another financial crisis. Worried that the crisis might already have started. Robbins points out that gains in technology are designed to

One theme lots of CEOs noted this year is that the perception of China as an economic basket case is wildly overblown. help the world solve problems like these: Big data used by countries in Europe to efficiently deploy medical and other services to refugees, for example; or joint tech ventures, like Cisco has with Apple or Sweden’s Ericsson AB, to leverage each other’s networks. He notes that tech gains — particularly in the past 20 years — have withstood several vicious economic and market cycles, including the collapse of the Internet bubble in 2000 and the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. “There was an inflection point in 2015 in which technology moved from a cost center to a core part of business strategies,” Robbins told USA TODAY. “The currency of this next wave is data.” Indeed, short-term declines in markets can even help an acquisitive company like Cisco, which

has some 185 corporate purchases under its belt, by lowering the value of high-flying tech companies. “When we see the cycle turn and valuations come down, we look at becoming more aggressive in our strategy” of buying companies, Robbins said. Part of the problem with market turmoil is that there are realities and there are perceived realities, many of which never happen. One theme lots of CEOs noted this year is that the perception of China as an economic basket case is wildly overblown. One leader of a global company that does business in China, who wouldn’t be quoted, said something quite striking: China is stronger than most people think, and the U.S. is weaker than most people think. So as Davos wraps up and the

2,500 CEOs and global leaders race for the airports and their private planes, trailed by the 1,000 media personnel in coach, the tug of war between the promise of tech and the threat of economic and financial instability is as strong as ever. The glitz of the Facebook popup, the Tradeshift events center in a Davos church and the Infosys storefront lounge, light up the mountain nights with the color of opportunity. But they stand in sharp contrast to the shingles hung out next to them by emerging markets, seeking investment in Africa, South America or India. Martin Gilbert, chief of Aberdeen Asset Management, one of the world’s best-known asset managers for emerging markets, still offered single-malt scotch at the Aberdeen storefront lounge one night last week. He’s had a tough year in these markets, making the offer all the more noble. As Gilbert and UBS’ Weber know, finance is a long-term game made up of many shortterm crises. Navigating those is the key. The tech world is no different. Weber said he likes to be pessimistic when the Davos crowd is optimistic, and optimistic when it is pessimistic. So he is optimistic this year. “And for a German and former head of the Bundesbank, that is saying something,” he joked.

U.S. auto recalls hit all-time record in ’15: 51M Scrutiny in overdrive with new safety push Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

WASHINGTON U.S. vehicle recalls hit an all-time high in 2015 for the second year in a row as regulators cracked down on safety defects and automakers became more proactive about reporting problems. Automakers recalled a record 51 million-plus vehicles over 900 separate recalls in 2015, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration an-

NHTSA chief Mark Rosekind aims to zero out road deaths.

nounced Thursday at the Washington Auto Show. That narrowly edged the previous mark set in 2014, when manufacturers recalled slightly fewer than 51 million vehicles.

“Part of what has happened is a vigilance in looking for defects; getting them addressed has been effective,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said at a press conference. NHTSA concurrently announced a year-long digital advertising campaign dubbed “Safe Cars Save Lives,” to encourage consumers to get their cars fixed quickly. The new record underscores a fresh layer of scrutiny of auto defects following a series of industry scandals, including the General Motors ignition-switch defect, the Volkswagen emissions cheating and Takata’s exploding air bags.

It also comes after NHTSA last week announced an agreement with 18 automakers to improve cooperation on proactive safety principles and bolstering recall completion rates. Rosekind said the record year for recalls in 2015 shows that the agency is committed to enforcing safety regulations, but he also said the agency must collaborate with the industry to reach its lofty goal of zero roadway deaths someday. “NHTSA has made major efforts in the last year to improve our processes for identifying vehicle defects, and that effort will continue,” Rosekind said. “We also hope the agreement with

major automakers announced last week will help prevent problems and identify them sooner when they do occur.” Rosekind also expressed concern at the “potential for a significant increase” in roadway deaths in 2015. Early data indicate that the number of deadly accidents rose in 2015 after hitting an alltime low of 32,675 deaths in 2014. The agency is pressing auto companies to accelerate development of self-driving cars. At the recent Detroit auto show, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced that President Obama will ask Congress to approve a 10-year, $4 billion investment in self-driving technologies.

PERSONAL FINANCE

Before you make a move, check the interest-rate forecast for 2016 Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

t’s a new year, and maybe your plan is to refinance your mortgage, tap into your home’s equity or finally replace your old car. But before you make a move, take note of changing interest rates, which can have a big impact on how much you spend — or save — over time. “Knowing your interest rate and shopping around to get the best rates are important details of money management, whether it is prioritizing debt repayment or earning the best return on your money,” says Bankrate.com chief financial analyst Greg McBride, who has released an interest-rate forecast for 2016. On the heels of the Federal Reserve’s historic move in December, when it hiked rates for the first time in nearly 10 years, McBride said the Fed’s benchmark rate will be boosted two or three times this year, putting them at 1% by year’s end. Still, that’s fewer hikes than predicted by the Fed itself. “The Fed has a track record of overestimating economic performance as well as (its) own level of action,” McBride says. “The reality is slow economic growth, low inflation and issues around the globe will keep the Fed on the sidelines more often than they think.” Here are some of McBride’s other projections, and tips from him and financial planners on what these interest rates might mean for consumers:

SHOPPING AROUND FOR CDS IS WORTH THE TROUBLE

Rates on CDs will barely budge. By the end of the year, McBride predicts the average yield for a one-year CD will be 0.65%, and it will be 1.25% for the average five-year CD. Andrew Houte, a certified financial planner based in Brookfield, Wis., says some consumers may be discouraged by such low returns, but they could possibly find a better deal if they look around. “Even though consumers can double or even triple in some cases what they’re yielding, they don’t want to bother changing financial institutions and filling out paperwork or an online application,” Houte said in an email. “Because we are at historic lows, the understandable tendency is to say, ‘It’s not even worth the trouble.’ … I still feel it’s worth it, though.”

PATRICK T. FALLON, BLOOMBERG

CAR LOAN DEALS ARE THERE

This year could be a great time to purchase a car. By the end of 2016, the interest rate for the average five-year new-car loan will be 5%, McBride forecasts, and 6% on average for a four-year used car loan. As of Thursday, the average rates for those two loans were 4.35% and 5.15% respectively. But, if you shop around “you’ll still be able to find rates below 4%,” McBride says. “There’s a big disparity between the average and the best rates that are out there. ... I think this is going to be another big year for auto sales because the economy is doing well, people’s financial situations are improving and interest rates are conducive to it.”

Don’t expect personal touch from IRS this tax season Service issues could grow as IRS pushes more of its efforts online

PAY OFF THOSE CREDIT CARDS

McBride predicts the average variable credit-card rate will be at 16.5% by the end of the year, having risen as the Fed boosts rates. “It is high,” he says. “Credit-card debt is typically the highest-cost debt households have, so avoid carrying a balance as much as possible, and on those occasions when you do have a balance, make it a high priority to get it paid off, pronto.” Niv Persaud, an Atlanta-based certified financial planner, says there are certain steps you can take to make sure you don’t wind up wallowing in debt. “Set a monthly limit on how much you will spend on new purchases and how much you will reduce outstanding balances,’’ she said in an email. “Make sure the amount you commit to reduce in outstanding balances is more than the finance charge. Enforce this commitment by penalizing yourself if you do not follow your commitment. For example, I have a client who runs an extra mile daily when she overspends.”

You can do plenty of banking online or through mobile devices, but there’s probably a branch nearby to visit if you need help. Similarly, you can find plenty of investment advisers, insurance agents and other financial professionals ready to meet face to face. But if you need to reach out to the Internal Revenue Service, it’s tough to get that personal touch. The agency gradually is closing walk-in offices and withdrawing services it once provided, like helping taxpayers fill out their returns in person. You should plan on lengthy waits when calling the IRS, but maybe not as bad as last year, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says. However, “the level of service last year was so bad that anything would be better,” he said. The improvement stems from a $290 million infusion that will let the agency hire up to 1,000 more customer service reps. Aside from that, service issues could get worse as the IRS continues to drive more tax business to the Internet. This trend isn’t entirely negative or unwarranted. Filing returns electronically is faster and much less cumbersome than crunching the numbers on paper and mailing them in. Plus, it can be a lot easier and quicker to find what you need — forms, answers to tax questions or whatever — through sites such as irs.gov. Besides, the public has

become exponentially more comfortable handling all sorts of money matters online — about 85% of tax returns are submitted this way. But the electronic age doesn’t work well for everyone, including the estimated 16% of adults who don’t have Internet access, according to a Pew Research study. Still, a five-year plan compiled by the IRS envisions taxpayers conducting more business on secure online accounts rather than in person or by phone. These accounts might become places to submit payments, receive status updates, supply missing paperwork and so on. A lot of these activities could be performed on behalf of taxpayers by return preparers and other authorized third parties. TAX WATCHDOG WORRIED

In an early January report to Congress, the Taxpayer Advocate Service, a watchdog group within the IRS, said it supported the creation of online accounts — but it cautioned that service problems could worsen. The division, headed by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson, listed future service as the most serious problem facing taxpayers. One issue is that the IRS might scale back phone and face-to-face interactions even more. Another is that frustrated taxpayers needing help might have to pay for it by hiring professionals to deal with an increasingly impersonal agency. And even with the overwhelming adoption of electronic filing and the enhanced ability of taxpayers to find tax answers online, the public hasn’t stopped trying to call the IRS: In fact, phone calls increased to 102 million last year, up 59% from 2006.

McBride sees the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovering between 4% and 4.5%, finishing 2016 at the high end. Meanwhile, homeowners who currently have adjustable-rate mortgages that are resetting this year may see hikes ranging from half a percentage point to 1¼ points. “Depending where in the year your reset falls, that will dictate the increase you’re seeing,” he says, “but it’s going to be an increase because those interest rates have come off the bottom.” That means “now’s a great time to refinance and lock in a fixed rate.” In addition, despite rising rates, now is also a good time to think about buying if you’ve got the savings and are prepared. “The economy is doing well, unemployment is low, people are finally starting to see more money in their paycheck, and mortgage rates are at an attractive level.”

BUT THINK BEFORE TAPPING INTO YOUR HOME EQUITY

McBride sees the rates on home-equity lines of credit hitting 5.3% by the end of the year. Persaud says to think hard before pulling money out of your home. “Before tapping into your home equity, decide if the expenditure is a ‘need’ or a ‘want,’ ” Persaud says. “A need is repairing water damage. ... A ‘want’ is redecorating your bedroom. While you may want to make changes now, it will not harm you if you wait and save for the changes.”

UNCLE SAM MAY LOSE OUT

“If the IRS substantially reduces the opportunity for taxpayers to talk with IRS employees, many taxpayers will find it much harder to resolve their problems and will have to pay third parties to assist them,” the report stated. This could generate more taxpayer frustration and erode public confidence in the system. This is a concern, said the Taxpayer Advocate Service, because 98% of U.S. tax revenue collected from individuals is essentially paid voluntarily, with only 2% resulting from direct enforcement actions. In many other nations, taxpayer compliance is substantially lower. The Taxpayer Advocate Service also is concerned that taxpayers could be hurt by incompetence or misconduct on the part of return preparers utilizing client online accounts. Already, some tax fraud has been linked to unsavory preparers who used the personal information of clients to file fake returns and divert refunds. Access to secure online accounts should be restricted to attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents and other tax professionals who have earned credentials or have met other requirements, according to the report. Olson’s office predicts the advent of online accounts and other IRS initiatives might fundamentally transform the way the federal government treats and interacts with taxpayers, in a negative way. “The IRS should not drastically reduce face-to-face and telephone services,” the watchdog group said.

Kansas University’s basketball upperclassmen called a players-only meeting Wednesday, the day after the Jayhawks’ 19-point loss at Oklahoma State. On Friday it was Bill Self’s turn to summon the team’s four best players — Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden Jr., Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham — to the head coach’s office prior to the final practice before his Jayhawks’ 76-67 victory over Texas on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. “Getting their opinion on a lot of different things ... making sure we’re all on the same page,” Self said of the purpose of Friday’s session.

Smart, UT wise to be Perry-wary

“It’s one thing the headlines are never going to read: ‘Freshmen play bad; Kansas loses.’ It’s going to be, ‘Self this,’ or, ‘Selden that,’ or ‘Ellis or Graham or Mason.’ That’s the way it should be.’ I just want them to be on the same page. They need to take ownership and tell me how they really feel about certain things, and they did. I think it’ll help us moving forward,” Self added after his team improved to 16-3 overall and 5-2 in the Big 12. Texas dropped to 12-7, 4-3.

Topeka — Back from the dead, in a game long thought to be over, Lawrence High’s boys basketball team just refused to back down Saturday. The Lions, playing without senior standout Justin Roberts, trailed by 14 points with about four minutes remaining in regulation before forcing overtime against Highland Park at Topeka West. Down by a point with

five seconds left in OT, LHS senior forward Fred Brou scored on a tip-in before the buzzer for a 62-61 victory, winning the Topeka Invitational Tournament championship for the second time in the three years. In 2013, the Lions also beat Highland Park by one point after trailing by 14 points in the second half. Brou’s tip-in sparked bedlam on the court. Highland Park players put their hands on their heads in disbelief. The Lions ran around the court with their arms in the

air, looking for somebody to hug. Brou, in all of the excitement, even jumped into Roberts’ arms after he dislocated his shoulder Friday. “It was just crazy,” LHS freshman Noah Butler said. “Words can’t describe it.” Trailing by 14 points, nobody said anything special in any of the LHS huddles. There wasn’t one play that inspired the turnaround. The Lions (12-1, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A) had trouble creating offense without their senior point guard Roberts, a four-year starter.

Without having a guard to drive into the paint and kick to teammates, senior forward Price Morgan did his best to keep his team alive. He scored a gamehigh 20 points, knocking down jumpers and fighting for layups in the paint. Morgan hit two free throws to start a 13-0 run over the next three minutes, with eight points from Brou and a three-pointer from Mallory.

Fifth-seeded Sharapova fired a career-high 21 aces and hit 58 winners in her 7-5, 7-5 win over Belinda Bencic in the first match of the day on Rod Laver Arena, converting her second match point with a successful challenge after her forehand was initially called long. Six-time champion Williams followed it up with a 55-minute, 6-2, 6-1 win over Margarita Gasparyan. Margaret Court, the Australian great who won 24 Grand Slam singles titles and has a court named in her honor at Melbourne Park, was in the crowd watching Williams reach the quarterfinals of the season’s first major for the 10th time. Williams, with 21 majors, has won 18 of their 20 matches, including 17 in a row. Under bright sunshine after the roof was opened following morning rain, Williams was broken in the opening game — her only point coming from an ace — but quickly found her groove and won 12 of the next 14. The 34-year-old Williams was so close to a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015, winning the Australian, French and Wimbledon titles before her upset semifinal loss to Roberta Vinci at the U.S. Open. “Well, gosh, I didn’t know she was here, I feel honored to be able to play in front of her,” Williams said when told Court was in the stands, then looked up to the VIP area and added: “Thank you.”

Prep standout Ayton dazzles at FSHS event By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Hillcrest Academy center DeAndre Ayton split his Saturday in Lawrence as a spectator and the main event. A few hours after watching Kansas University defeat Texas at Allen Fieldhouse, the 6-foot-11 Phoenix prep became the main attraction Saturday night at Free State High, where the junior’s 35 points, 21 rebounds and eight blocked shots carried the Bruins to a 71-67 victory against Wichita’s

Sunrise Christian Academy. The No. 4-ranked high school junior in the nation according to Rivals. com, Ayton often exploded quickly off the Ayton floor to snatch rebounds out of the air and violently attack the rim, as KU coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend watched from their court-

side seats. Jayhawks Perry Ellis, Cheick Diallo and Dwight Coleby saw the show, too, as Ayton, a Bahamas native, abused the FSHS rims, with 11 savage dunks — eight coming on offensive rebounds. Sunrise out-performed Ayton’s Hillcrest team much of the game, and the big man’s Bruins trailed 31-26 at halftime. But Ayton said he became more abusive toward the rim as the game grew more competitive. Much of the night, he dunked with the ease and authority of a child taking his frustra-

tions out on the Nerf basket in his bedroom. “It was personal,” Ayton said. “They were talking trash out there, and I tried to show them, you know, we’re gonna win this game, this is who I am, stuff like that.” A prize recruit with KU, Duke, Kentucky, Cal, Michigan, North Carolina, San Diego State and UCLA on his list, Ayton played all 40 minutes of the showcase, one of six games played nationally as part of The Grind Session. Ayton’s activity on the defensive end of the

floor picked up in the second half, as Hillcrest surged toward a victory. “I had to run more,” the young big said. “I had to put a lot more effort in.” His afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse required far less work. Ayton said he had a “pretty good” visit and enjoyed the atmosphere. Much like his Hillcrest team, KU had to rally on Saturday. The effect of the crowd left an impression on the center. “I couldn’t hear myself, to be honest. I love stuff like that,” Ayton said. “I

It gave the Scots an odd-numbered fast break, but Butler blocked a shot at the rim — somehow avoiding a goal-tending call. Despite all of the chaos on both sides of the court, Butler knocked down a

left corner on a give-andgo with Harvey. But Highland Park made four free throws in the final 20 seconds and took a 61-60 lead with five seconds left. With one last chance at securing a tournament title, Mallory dribbled down the court and fired a shot from the baseline with three defenders running toward him. Mallory’s shot went long, but Brou, who remembered his coaches telling him most rebounds go on the other side of the rim, was in the right spot for the game-winning score. “They missed a couple of free throws. We hit some shots,” Lewis said of the comeback. “Sometimes the tide turns like that, and it can turn very quickly in basketball. The beauty of the game, right?” Academic achievements: Lawrence had five players named the tournament’s all-academic team: Brou, Morgan, junior Braden Solko, sophomore Jake Rajewski and freshman Trey Quartlebaum.

Smart: UT couldn’t sustain energy By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Even though Saturday’s 76-67 loss to Kansas University came during his first trip to Allen Fieldhouse, Texas coach Shaka Smart sure sounded like a guy who had been coming to the old building for years. Asked what went wrong that turned an early 12-point Texas lead into a late 13-point deficit and eventual nine-point KU win, Smart rattled off a few factors like he had experienced them a dozen times before. “It was a combination of three things,” the first-year UT coach said. “First, when you come in here and you play in this unbelievable atmosphere, you know that a run is coming, and the crowd is gonna be behind their team.” That run allowed Kansas to turn a 40-33 second-half deficit into a 5746 lead with 8:44 to play. “Second thing is, we

missed some pretty easy shots that I think we normally would make,” Smart continued. They did, missing four point-blank shots to kickstart the KU run during a second half in which they shot seven percentage points lower than in the first half. “The third thing is, Kansas made some great plays, and I think you have to give those guys credit,” Smart finished. That last part, Kansas taking the game instead of Texas coughing it up, was the part that Smart continued to emphasize. But for a while it looked like he might not have to. Eight minutes in, the Longhorns had built a 19-7 lead, and, with Kansas (16-3 overall, 5-2 Big 12) on its heels, looked like the much more aggressive team. That was by design, according to both Smart and UT guard Isaiah Taylor. And never was the Texas game plan more evident than on a fast-

break that featured Taylor as the middle man for two talented freshmen. With UT leading 15-5, freshman guard Eric Davis Jr. (13 points, five rebounds, 21 minutes) rifled a pass ahead to a streaking Taylor. Taylor, who also finished with 13 points but added six rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes, immediately attacked the rim and appeared to be well on his way to an easy layup. That’s when things got wild. Instead of finishing the play himself, Taylor flipped a pass over his head to hard-charging freshman Kerwin Roach, who finished the play with a little flair to put Texas (12-7, 4-3) ahead 17-5. “I just told ’em to play loose,” Taylor said with a smile. “After that play, Kerwin was like, ‘Yo, I thought you were gonna shoot the layup.’ And I was like, ‘Nah, man, we gotta get you going.’ (Our freshmen) gave us a spark today.” That UT highlight

served as notice the Longhorns were there to play. In the end, though, they could not sustain that same level of intensity and execution and watched Kansas remain poised en route to the come-from-behind home victory. Smart said he was pleased with the way his team started and gave credit to Kansas for preventing the Longhorns from finishing it the same way. “Those guys were stronger in the last 10 minutes than they were early,” Smart said. “Great coaching, great players, great atmosphere, and it’s not easy. I thought Kansas’ players did a great job. They had more energy in the second half than they did in the first, and we had a little bit less. “The best teams have a high, high level of resolve and toughness. We’ve made some progress with that, but, obviously, today shows that we’ve still got TEXAS HEAD COACH SHAKA SMART DIRECTS HIS DEFENSE during the second half. a ways to go.”

do better and how can he do better? An honest conversation,” Self said — wound up producing big-time. Ellis had 26 points and four rebounds in 35 minutes. Selden had 19 points and five boards in 37 minutes. Graham went for 14 points and six assists in 37 minutes and Mason 13 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes. “Tonight you talk about four starters playing an unbelievable number of minutes. They are all equally important. Frank in his way. Devonté in his, Wayne in his and Perry in his,” Self said. “We were fortunate. We had four starters play really well, those four and struggled to win (in a game KU trailed 17-5 early and 3530 at halftime).” The fifth starter, who Self said played “great,” was junior Landen Lucas, who had 10 rebounds in 23 minutes. Self used just three other players, senior Jamari Traylor (15 minutes), junior Brannen

Greene (nine minutes) and freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. (five minutes), who combined for four points and six boards. “Landen gave us a better chance to win,” said Self, who awarded Lucas his first start of the season. “I shortened the bench. I thought it was the biggest game of the year from a momentum standpoint. I thought we were much better playing less guys. This is how we wanted to do it. Our starters really came through for us. “We went with our veterans. This was the most important game of our season thus far because we needed to eliminate the negative momentum because we were in a rut. We were in a funk. I thought our experience gave us the best chance to do that.” Freshman Cheick Diallo didn’t play after starting Tuesday’s loss at OSU. Senior Hunter Mickelson also was not called upon to play in the frontcourt. “Visiting with the guys and who trusts who ... I think Cheick is happier now than he would be if he’d played three minutes and not gone back in,” Self said. “Like I said,

To me, if you’ve got a big guy in there (like Texas’ Prince Ibeh, who had a career-high seven blocks), Landen is most equipped to guard him. You got a pick-and-pop guy, somebody else is more equipped. It’ll probably just depend how matchups are.”

Ellis, who hit nine of 15 shots (2-for-4 from three) and was 6-of-6 from the line, thought Friday’s meeting with Self and his three teammates was productive. “We all have the most say on the team.

KU, which is tied for first place in the league (at 5-2) with Oklahoma, West Virginia and Baylor, next meets Iowa State (15-4, 4-3) at 8 p.m. Monday in Hilton Coliseum in Ames. The Jayhawks hope to keep building on all the issues discussed at meetings this past week. “I have some ideas on some things. Tape doesn’t lie. We talked about a lot of things we can do better,” Self said. “I think it’s more between our ears, not in our heart, though.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD PERRY ELLIS (34) HEADS INSIDE FOR A SHOT AND A FOUL from Texas forward Connor Lammert during the second half of KU’s 76-67 victory on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

Self gets 200th AFH win By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball team has won 200 games and lost nine in Allen Fieldhouse in Bill Self’s 13 years as head coach. “It’s unbelievable,” senior forward Perry Ellis said after Saturday’s milestone 76-67 victory over Texas in KU’s tradition-rich building. “It just shows he knows what he’s doing.” “It’s real impressive,” junior Landen Lucas noted. “There’s a lot coach does, a lot the fans do and the atmosphere does for us. It’s great, and a lot of credit goes to our home crowd.” Of the 200-9 mark, Self said: “That is pretty good. It’s better than 19910, which it looked like it could have been today (after KU lagged 17-5 early and 35-30 at halftime). All that is, is a reflection of having better players for the most part and a great home crowd. It’s something we are proud of, but it doesn’t have any significant meaning to me at all.” Self was asked what he would have said 13 years ago if somebody told him he’d have a 200-9 home record. “I know what fans would have said: ‘Why the hell did you lose nine?’” Self said. “I didn’t think we’d do that, not in this league.” Self added that he remembers, “every home loss we’ve had in the last 18 years (at KU, Illinois, Tulsa).” l

Mason survives fall ... again: Junior guard Frank Mason III fell hard on his right elbow and hand late in the game. “He’s fine,” Self said. Self said Mason, who has had knee and elbow problems, sometimes gets time off from

Lucas starts: Landen Lucas was awarded his first start of the regular season. He responded with 10 rebounds while not scoring in 23 minutes. “Yesterday he (Self) came up to me and made it simple. He said, ‘Here’s the things you can do to help the team win. Go out and do them,’” Lucas said. “‘Rebound, rebound, rebound. Play defense. Set screens.’ We have so much talent, if I can get them (teammates) open and do different things to help them score ... there will be games I’ll be able to score more than zero,

but just help them do that and go after every single ball. The big thing is to create extra possessions to help the team out.” Of starting, Lucas added: “It’s been in the conversation before. He was worried in the past about me fouling. Who starts is not the biggest deal. It’s about game flow and who finishes the game.” l

Short rotation: Self used just eight players. “Other teams do it. OU does it. Iowa State does it. The most important thing is in these situations you can ask our players ... they put a lot of effort into this. This isn’t a popularity contest or everybody feel good and have cookies and milk after the game,”

Ellis, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound senior from Wichita, was even more lethal faking shots and driving, and he made all six of his free throws. “He played great today,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “He was aggressive. He drove it, and I thought he got fouled a few times on drives that weren’t called. He was a different player today than he was at Oklahoma State.” Ellis had plenty of company in that regard. On a day Self shrunk his rotation from 11 men to eight, Ellis showed no signs of fatigue in his 35 minutes of action. Early-season hip problems no longer weigh on Ellis. “I feel great,” he said. “Body feels great. I’m definitely taking good care of it, and it’s been paying off.” Ellis didn’t have an assist, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t make everyone on the floor with him better. “The thing I was most worried about was the most simple thing they do, the high pick and pop,” Smart said. “The guards are so good, you have to give them attention, and if you don’t, they’ll turn the corner and lay it up. But when you do, they throw it back to (Ellis), and now he’s in space. No matter how we guarded it, Kansas had an answer. They had a lot of answers today.” Most of them involved Ellis in some way. During his postgame interview, Self discussed the contributions of the other four starters first. “I didn’t mention our best player today, Perry,” Self said. “They couldn’t guard him, and he was aggressive.” Ellis leads the Jayhawks (16-3 overall, 5-2 in the loaded Big 12) in scoring (16.3) and rebounding (6.6) and is shooting .498 overall, .469 from three and .769 from the line. His talent and experience present him with the opportunity to lambaste teammates when their focus slips, but his humble, quiet personality doesn’t lend itself to that role. Still, he’s trying to speak up more without changing his nice-guy approach. “Just trying to motivate teammates whenever I can,” Ellis said. “I caught myself a lot going up to Frank (Mason III) and saying, ‘Keep attacking. Keep attacking.’ I’m trying to speak up on things I think teammates can do, and I think it helps.” More national attention would neither help nor hurt Ellis, whose outward emotions don’t swing much in either direction. “It’s not anything I stress about,” Ellis said of national attention. Stress is what opposing coaches experience when trying to figure out how to contain Ellis’ impact on KU’s offense.

Sooners knock off league leader Baylor ————

Oklahoma’s 82-72 victory creates four-way tie for first place in Big 12 The Associated Press

Big 12 Men No. 1 Oklahoma 82, No. 13 Baylor 72 Waco, Texas — Buddy Hield scored 14 of his 19 points after halftime, including consecutive three-pointers that put Oklahoma ahead to stay in a victory Saturday at Baylor. Hield, the Big 12 scoring leader at 26 points a game, missed the final nine minutes of the first half because of two fouls. Oklahoma (16-2, 5-2 Big 12) matched its season high with 16 threepointers, including five by Jordan Woodard when he had all 20 of his points in the first half. The Sooners reached No. 1 for the first time since 1990 this week, then lost 82-77 at No. 19 Iowa State on Monday night. But they rebounded big by ending Baylor’s 15game home winning streak to forge a four-way tie (OU, Baylor, Kansas and West Virigina) for first place in the Big 12 at 5-2. Baylor opened the second half with an 11-4 run, tying it at 41 with 17:39 left on Ish Wainright’s threepointer before Hield’s goahead shots. By the time Hield hit another three with 13 minutes left, the Sooners’ lead was 57-44. That was part of a 4117 run that put Oklahoma up 82-58 before the Bears scored the game’s last 14 points against Sooners reserves to make the game look closer than it actually was.

No. 6 West Virginia 80, Texas Tech 76 Lubbock, Texas — Tarik Patrick scored West Virginia’s final eight points, and the Mountaineers ended the game on a 10-2 run to rally for a victory over Texas Tech, snapping a two-game losing streak. The Red Raiders (12-6, 2-5 Big 12) were up 76-72 with 1:10 remaining when Patrick hit a three, got a layup and a free throw off a steal, and got the Mountaineers’ final points on a dunk just before the buzzer. Patrick finished with 20 points, while Jaysean Paige scored 22, and Jonathan Holton added 13 to lead the Mountaineers (16-3, 5-2). Zach Smith scored a career-high 18 points, and Toddrick Gotcher added 12 to lead Texas Tech. West Virginia got 23 points off the Red Raiders’ 17 turnovers, and the Mountaineers got 43 points from their bench. The Red Raiders led for most of the second half until Patrick took over.

No. 19 Iowa State 73, TCU 60 Fort Worth, Texas — Monte Morris had 18 points and six assists, and Iowa State followed a win over top-ranked Oklahoma with a victory over TCU. The Cyclones (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) started slowly five days after knocking off the Sooners at home but went ahead for good on Morris’ steal and layup during an 11-0 run that put Iowa State in front 26-19 late in the first half. Chauncey Collins scored 14 points to lead the Horned Frogs (9-10, 1-6), who have dropped four straight since beating rival Texas at home for their earliest Big 12 victory in their fourth year in the conference. Matt Thomas scored 15 points for Iowa State, which won its third straight in the only game in a stretch of five against a team not currently in the Top 10. After beating a No. 1 team for just the second time in school history, the Cyclones return home to play No. 3 Kansas on Monday night. The tough five-game stretch includes another visit to the Lone Star State for the Big 12-SEC Challenge at No. 10 Texas A&M next Saturday. The Cyclones improved to 7-0 in Big 12 games against TCU on a relatively quiet day for Georges Niang. The conference’s No. 2 scorer finished with 11 points — eight below his average — on 4-of-12 shooting. IOWA ST.

Kansas State 89, Oklahoma State 73 Manhattan — Kamau Stokes and Justin Edwards scored 13 points apiece, and Kansas State hit nine three-pointers to help snap a two-game losing streak, topping Oklahoma State. Dean Wade and Wesley Iwundu finished with 12 points apiece, and Stephen Hurt added 11 points and five rebounds. Lackluster shooting had plagued Kansas State in Big 12 play so far, but it was the three-point ball that propelled the Wildcats to a second conference win. The Wildcats converted nine of 17 three-point attempts, led by Stokes with four makes. Even when the deep ball wasn’t connecting, Kansas State still found a way to score. D.J. Johnson rose above two Oklahoma State defenders to throw down an emphatic put-back dunk with 13:02 to play after Barry Brown missed a three-point attempt. Tyree Griffin led Oklahoma State with 18 points and five assists. OKLAHOMA ST.

SUNDAY Prime Time WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

Charlotte, N.C. (ap) — Hey, don’t forget about us. As in, yes, while BradyManning 17 takes place earlier in the day, the teams with the two best records in the NFL go at it in the NFC championship game tonight. That would be the host Carolina Panthers, that rare team to go 15-1 in the regular season, and the Arizona Cardinals, who were next in the NFC and overall standings at 13-3. Maybe it isn’t the juiciest story line dominating the football world, but there’s plenty of reasons to be intrigued by this one, too. “One guy (Tom Brady) is playing in his 10th and there are two guys that are playing in their first,” Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer says of reaching the last step before the Super Bowl. Palmer, in his 13th season, and Panthers QB Cam Newton, in his fifth, are newbies at conference title games. “Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and however it works out is the way it works out. Everybody has different roads.”

Shown are today’s noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for today.

Fronts

The average wind speed is greater in: New York, Boston, or Chicago?

Talib left as a free agent and signed with Denver after that season. Nobody was surprised. Cornerbacks, even outstanding ones, are as disposable as dish towels in New England. Last year, the Patriots won with four-time All-Pro Darrelle Revis, but he plays for the Jets now. It’s like that at pretty much every position — except one. “They’re moving guys

around. They still have the same kind of guy,” said Broncos offensive coordinator Rick Dennison. “Whether they develop them, go find them, or whatever. It seems like ‘50’ (defensive end Rob Ninkovich) has been around there for 15 years. Or a guy just like him.” For the record, Ninkovich has been there since 2009, which makes him a long-timer by Patriots standards. This season, the Patriots have started the same five offensive linemen in consecutive games a grand total of once. Elsewhere on the offense, top receiver Julian Edelman missed seven games. Danny Amendola and All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski both missed time. Running back has been a carousel. But so long as No. 12 is lining up under center, the Patriots rarely skip a beat. “No quarterback has been able to throw the ball over 50 times a game and win, and he’s done that consistently,” said Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.

first meeting of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in a conference championship. Palmer won it at Southern California in 2002 and Newton took it at Auburn eight years later. Weather: A severe winter storm rocked the Carolinas, although conditions should be fine by kickoff, if a bit chilly for Charlotte. Both teams could turn to the running game if the weather is problematic, which might be an advantage for the Panthers, with Jonathan Stewart over Arizona rookie David Johnson. Stewart’s 59-yard sprint on the first play against Seattle last week catapulted him toward a 106-yard performance and set the tone for a decisive first half. Fitz vs. Josh: Josh Norman emerged in 2015 as one of the NFL’s best shutdown cornerbacks. Larry Fitzgerald re-emerged as one of the league’s most dangerous receivers this season. When they match up, it could be the most entertaining and significant battle in the game.

Denver (ap) — One team went without the services of its Hall of Fame-bound quarterback for more than a third of the season, and when he was available, he was a shell of his former self. The other had its quarterback all season but faced week after week of injuries to his pass catchers, offensive linemen and running backs. Often, teams with those story lines are studying the draft board this time of year. But these are the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots — two franchises built to overcome problems big and small. And once again, they find themselves on the verge of the Super Bowl. Today’s AFC title game is being billed as “Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady, Part 17,” and many believe it could be the last game between the two best quarterbacks of their generation. It’s also a matchup of two franchises that make a habit of playing in January because of the way they’re built and run. New England is seeking its ninth AFC title;

ABOVE: BRICKS STAMPED WITH “DON’T SPIT ON THE SIDEWALK” were a common sight on Lawrence streets a century ago. This early public health campaign was the brainchild of Dodge City physician Samuel Crumbine, who hoped to slow the spread of such deadly diseases as tuberculosis.

language — message to pedestrians. “DON’T SPIT ON SIDEWALK.” Bricks stamped with the phrase were part of an early public-health campaign led by Dodge City physician Samuel Crumbine, who came up with the idea after witnessing tuberculosis patients spitting on the floor of a train. The slogan — which by some estimates was, at one point, imprinted onto every fourth brick manufactured in Kansas — reportedly helped to ignite a similar campaign nationwide. As for the bricks’ effectiveness in Lawrence specifically, Watkins Museum of History curator Brittany Keegan admits she’s not sure. “I would hope it would just be a nice reminder to not spit on the sidewalk,” she says, looking down at one such brick through a glass case on the museum’s second floor. “But, who knows?” The “Don’t Spit” brick is one of nearly

two dozen artifacts and photographs on display in “Remedies and Memories: Changing Medicine in Lawrence.” Slated to open Friday, the exhibit spans nearly 100 years, cataloging Lawrence’s early days up until the medical advances of the 20th century’s second half. “We definitely want people to think about how medicine and access to medicine has changed over time, and the idea of public health as we think about it today,” Keegan says. In Lawrence and other “western” communities in the decades immediately following

the Civil War, access to quality health care was sparse. Until the turn of the 20th century, the town boasted fewer than 10 physicians and zero hospitals, the closest being Topeka and Kansas City facilities. Families called on doctors only for the most serious of ailments, instead turning to home remedies of varying effectiveness. Despite the strong support for temperance in Kansas, many early remedies used alcohol and other intoxicants as key ingredients — for both adults and children. Please see HEALTH, page 6D

Book club blues? Library can help I t’s Thursday, you’re counting down the hours until the workday is done, and you have book club tonight. Not only do you have book club, it’s your turn to host. You’ve got cheese dip to make, pinot to purchase, and you still don’t know what book to suggest to your group for next month. Under pressure, you look up what’s big on Amazon right now and throw a metaphorical dart. (Besides, your club never seems to agree on a book, so you figure it really doesn’t really matter anyway.) What if there were something better? Book clubs have a special place in our heart, and The Book Squad is developing a suite of services to help make being a member more fun and book clubs less stressful to run. First, many of you may know that we offer a Book Club in a Bag service — 10 to 12 copies of a book are available for your club for six weeks. Each bag also comes with discussion questions to assist clubs who want to take the conversation deeper. You may not know we have more than 175 titles to choose from, and we have KitKeeper software that gives users a quick, easy way to see the availability of all of our bags in one place. You can place reservations by title or choose based on what’s available in the month you need it — these services are accessible on our website at lawrence.lib.ks.us/ library-services/bookclubhub. Another service we’re launching is a newsletter chock full of bookish news, local book club highlights, great reads for groups, updates on programs of interest to book club members and more.

Coming this summer, we’re working to bring the community a book club that focuses on diverse voices through partnership with local thinkers. Stay tuned for details. So wrap up that expense report, swing by the liquor store, and get ready to talk to your group about the new services at LPL. You’ll be a book club hero. — Polli Kenn is Readers’ Services Coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library.

Adoption may be solution for mom-wannabe Dear Annie: My husband and I have been trying to conceive for three years, with no luck. I’ve tried almost everything there is over-the-counter, and I can’t seem to bring myself to see a doctor. I’m afraid he’ll tell me there is something wrong with one of us and we’ll resent each other. As time goes on, my depression and anger grow. I feel physical pain when I think about how much I want a baby. I have no one to share my sorrows with. My family has grown tired of my crying, even my husband. So I’ve learned to keep it to myself, and find a place where I can be alone to cry. I’ve noticed that holidays make the pain worse knowing I’ve failed once again

to give my mother and mother-in-law a grandchild. My sister isn’t much help, either. She is trying, too, and tells me she thinks both of us have some kind of fertility problem.

She tells me almost every time I see her, “You know your sister is probably going to get pregnant,

‘X-Files’ remake not promising Has the world gotten more paranoid since “The X-Files” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14) went off the air in 2002? Or has the world’s paranoia simply caught up to Fox Mulder? David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise their roles as Mulder and Dana Scully, as “The X-Files” picks up right where it left off. Mulder is contacted by a web-based conspiracy theorist and talk show host, played by Joel McHale, who’s having a blast in this Glenn B e c k meets-Alex Jones role, equal parts bombast and fear. O n c e again we’re knee-deep in some vast cabal, this time a conspiracy to fill the world with conspiracy theories to distract us from even more unthinkable evils. We’ve seen it all before. “The X-Files” 2.0 does a good job of catching us up on what’s transpired since 2002, from theories about the Patriot Act to the rather sour ending of Mulder and Scully’s relationship. One can’t help thinking that both characters are a little tired of this routine. Mulder seems more than slightly depressed while reciting wads of preposterous and didactic dialogue. As usual, Scully remains more circumspect. It’s as if we can read Gillian Anderson’s mind as she wonders how she’s gone from “Bleak House” back to this.

Over the course of the season, Tyler will bring spine-tingling revelations and hanky-dampening “closure” to folks including Amber Rose, Carnie Wilson, Joey Lawrence, Cheryl Burke, John Salley, Monica Potter, Margaret Cho, Rob Dyrdek, Tom Green, Jaime Pressly, Snooki, Tom Arnold, and Boy George.

because you want a baby so much.” It makes me feel evil when I watch my mother playing with my stepbrother’s kids. I’m so jealous. Everybody tells me, “Oh, it’ll happen when it’s time,” or “just give up.” How do I give up? I worry that it will eventually ruin my marriage. I know my husband loves me, but I can feel how frustrated he is with me. I even adopted a couple of puppies, thinking it would help, but it didn’t. How do I make it stop hurting? How do I get rid of my jealousy? — Desperately Seeking Baby Dear Desperate: First, please see your doctor and ask him to refer you to a fertility specialist. Infertility is no one’s fault, and

COMPOST LIKE A CHAMP

ant to start composting? It’s easy, and you can do it at home without any special tools or equipment in most cases. Save the classes, videos, books and composting experts for when you are ready to become a compost aficionado or if you want to get into specialized composting. Otherwise you will always be waiting to take that class or read that book when you could be composting already. To get started, pick an out of the way place in the yard. A back corner, behind a shed, or next to the vegetable garden are popular choices, but it is up to you and what is acceptable in your neighborhood. Composting can happen in a pile on the ground or in some sort of bin or container. If simply making a pile is acceptable, you are ready to start once you pick the place. If you need a bin or container for your compost, decide whether you want to build something or purchase a commercial bin. A bin can be as simple as a short piece of fencing set up with a couple of posts to make a small circle or square or as complicated as a multi-compartment bin with doors. Commercial bins also come in a range of styles and shapes, but they all perform about the same. Serious gardeners should find or build as big a bin as possible (they fill quickly with leaves and plant debris), while composters who are simply looking for a way to recycle kitchen scraps can get by with a smaller bin. Now that you have a place to compost, start collecting things to put in the pile or bin. The kitchen is a great place to start. Apple cores, potato peels, salad scraps, and other fruit and

COMPOST IS EASY TO MAKE AT HOME, and is a great soil conditioner for both indoor and outdoor gardening projects.

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith vegetable wastes are perfect for composting. This is where composting starts to get complicated, though, as there are varying

opinions about things such as eggshells, orange peels and even tomatoes. Concerns are in the length of time an item takes to break down in the compost pile, how likely the items are to attract wildlife, and whether the items might affect the pH level of the compost. In general, plant waste materials break down the most quickly and are the least likely to attract wildlife, although there may still be an occasional mouse or raccoon. Bread, pasta, meat, dairy and oils and fats can be more problematic and are best left out of a beginner compost bin. Newspaper, coffee filters

(and grounds) and paper towels can also be composted, but leave out waxy paper and magazines. Plant material from the landscape and garden is also great for the compost pile. Skip diseased plants or weeds that have gone to seed to avoid transplanting them when you use the compost. If you want to turn the compost pile over, do it a couple of times a year. You can also water the compost during dry periods to speed it along, but only if you want. You really can just put your compostable materials in a pile and forget them for a few months. When the plant mate-

rial turns into black crumbly stuff that almost resembles fine soil, you have successfully mastered composting. Finished compost is a great soil conditioner for any kind of garden. It can be used as a topdressing on lawns or as a mulch, or mixed with potting soil for indoor and container gardens. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for K-State Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

Among the items in the Watkins Museum exhibit: a now-empty bottle that at one point was sold — legally — with cocaine inside it. “One of the things people always get a kick out of is the cocaine bottle,” Keegan says of the oft-displayed piece. In 1900, Americans could reportedly purchase cocaine from the pharmacy, for about 25 cents a gram. “When you think about the home remedies for things like sore throat and cold, one of the things they’re doing is basically making a syrup to coat the throat,” Keegan says. “You can

see why Coca-Cola became known for that.” And yet, Lawrence’s isolated location and lack of health care providers, in some ways, “loosened up the conventions” that had barred some from pursuing medicine back East, she says. The West needed doctors, and so doctors came. Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the country’s first licensed female dentist, arrived in Lawrence in 1867, a year after earning her dentistry degree and several years of private apprenticeships and operating her own practice. Dr. Elizabeth Avery practiced medicine in her clinic on the second floor of 841 Massachusetts St. in the 1870s, and served as an officer in the Kansas Homeopathic Society. And Dr. Rachel

Step 4: Use a putty knife to scrape away the wax ring remnants. Step 5: Slide the flange bolts out from the broken flange ring, and remove the screws holding it in place. Step 6: If you’re using a spanner flange, begin by placing a toilet bolt through the bolt hole in the spanner flange. Step 7: Align the screw holes in the spanner flange with the screw holes on the broken ring. Slide the spanner flange under the broken flange ring, between the floor and the ring. If necessary, pry the existing

Tenney, along with her husband Dr. A.D. Tenney, ran the Hygean House in the 1000 block of Massachusetts St., where she specialized in women’s health care and publicly advocated for women’s suffrage. The frontier wasn’t as kind to AfricanAmericans in the medical field, though by the early 1900s, Lawrence boasted a handful of downtown practices run by black doctors, including a Dr. John H. Young, a Dr. Joseph Kenner and a Dr. Frederick Harvey. Harvey, it seems, was the man Lawrencians would call in a crisis.
