Chicken art project generates controversy ——————

Animal rights activists oppose artist’s plan, which ends with birds’ slaughter

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

It’s an art project that’s certainly ruffled some feathers.

“The Story of Chickens: A Revolution” is set to begin with an unveiling of a mobile chicken coop. That

coop will be placed — with five live birds inside — in various locations across Lawrence for the public to see the chickens and “get to know them,” said Amber Hansen, the artist behind the project who also is a Kansas University lecturer.

It ends with a publicinvited slaughter and a potluck dinner with the chickens on the menu.

Hansen said it’s designed to get people thinking about the origins of food and the disconnect urban dwellers have when eating meat, allowing “viewers to

witness an event that takes place every day, but we don’t often see.”

“It’s a community-based project in order to generate dialogue,” she said.

But some animal rights activists oppose the means of generating that conversation.

The story Hansen grew up on a farm, “raising animals — some as pets, some for consumption, we cared for them equally,” she said. “The Story of Chickens” came after she left, went to art school and “began to feel discon-

nected” with her food.

Hansen said the coop will displayed during next month’s Final Fridays event at the Percolator, located in the alley behind the Lawrence Arts Center near Ninth and New Please see CHICKENS, page 2A

1 of 2 paths await KU after NCI decision

A colorful way to support cancer awareness

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

After site visitors pack up and leave Kansas University’s Cancer Center this week, they’ll take with them a recommendation to Washington, and then KU’s Cancer Center, which has aggressively pursued the prize of designation from the National Cancer Institute, will head down one of two paths.

Either they make it or they don’t.

KU’s chancellor says she often finds herself in a position to remind herself most cancer centers don’t make it on the first try.

“In my heart of hearts,” Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said, “we’re going to get it.”

Consolidation group split on recommendation —————

Members to debate, come to decision on elementary school closings this week

push for a bond that would keep all 14 Lawrence elementary schools open, cover deferred maintenance projects, eliminate portable classrooms and add capacity for full-day kindergarten.

That’s the heart of the recommendation coming out of half of the members of a work-

— Cordley School parent Chuck Epp ing group that has been asked to find a way to close the district’s smallest elementary schools.

For more than five months, nearly 30 members of the Cen-

tral and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group have debated the best way to do that. Their charge from the school board was to recommend a way to

reduce six elementary schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to three or four within the next two years.

That recommendation is due by the end of the week. With a deadline approaching and no consensus looming, at the last meeting the working group split into two philosophically different camps.

Parents urged to keep eye on kids’ Facebook accounts

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

On some days when Southwest Middle School resource officer Jay Bialek arrives to work, he is greeted by four or five students ready to report online bullying that had occurred the previous night or weekend.

aren’t technically old enough to be on it, yet the activity on its walls and message boards permeates the school day.

“The negative criticism, bullying, alliances formed quickly between different sets of kids, that has the potential to carry over to school,” Bialek said.

Each year Bialek educates students and parents on the pitfalls of social media for preteens. Bialek isn’t advocating

for or against Facebook or the many other forms of social networking out there. In fact, he maintains a Facebook page as the school’s resource officer.

He does believe that parents should establish clear guidelines for teens before they join Facebook and that parents need to sign on to keep an eye on their children’s activity.

“Education begins at home,” he said.

As part of its terms, Face-

book doesn’t allow anyone under age 13 to join. But that hasn’t prevented millions of preteens from doing so.

A survey from Consumer Reports found that of the 20 million minors who used Facebook in the past year, 7.5 million were younger than 13. The survey also found that many of those sites were unsupervised, and 1 million of them were subjected to some Please see FACEBOOK, page 2A

If it’s successful Cancer center leaders have preached the benefits of designation.

The designation would bring additional federal research dollars — and the high-paying jobs that accompany them.

Those suffering from cancer would also get access to Gray-Little clinical trials only open to patients at NCI-designated centers. Roy Jensen, the cancer center’s director, would begin attending semi-annual meetings with other cancer center directors from across the Jensen country.

“A lot of our strategy has been centered around this idea that you’ve got to start acting like an NCI-designated center if you want to be one,” Jensen said.

KU has focused on recruiting strong researchers who are doing the kind of work that’s done at other cancer centers.

Raymond Perez, director of the new clinical trials center in Fairway, came to KU from the University of Dartmouth’s comprehensive cancer center. Just because the center is awarded the designation, he said, doesn’t mean its work is done.

“That’s when the real hard work’s going to start,” he said.

form of cyberbullying.

In another national survey conducted by researchers at New York University, 55 percent of parents of 12-year-olds reported their children have Facebook accounts. Of those parents, 82 percent knew when their underage child signed up, and 76 percent assisted their child in creating an account.

Bialek would like parents to enforce Facebook’s 13-and-older rule.

“A lot of our problems, a lot of issues could be avoided when it comes to social media if parents could help us with at least the 13-year-old rule,” Bialek said.

Both Bialek and Southwest Middle School Assistant Principal Matt Fearing believe children under 13 aren’t mature enough to handle the emotional implications that come with the social media site.

“The bullying, rumor mill aspect of this has been unreal,” Fearing told a classroom of parents last week. “Why? Because they don’t have the maturity level to do this.”

Child predators But it’s more than just bullying that parents should monitor on Facebook. When Bialek gives his presentation to parents, he starts off with a chilling reminder.

“Years ago it used to be that child predators were hanging out in city parks.

But kids don’t hang out in city parks anymore. They hang out online, and that is where the predators are,” Bialek said.

Just as parents warn children about talking to strangers on the street, Bialek said they should offer similar words of caution against talking to strangers online. To help determine how their children communicate online, Bialek said, parents should review who their friends are on Facebook. If they have a friend they don’t know offline, then Bialek said they should be removed.

“Fictitious Facebook accounts are easy to create,” Bialek said. “With some creative cutting and pasting, someone can set up an account to look like a 13- or 14 -year-old teenager.

Without even asking questions, kids are friending people they don’t know.”

Facebook already has a default setting that won’t make information or posting public for users between the age of 13 and 18.

But Bialek recommends that parents take the extra step and limit those viewing their children’s posts to just their selected friends.

Bialek also is adamant about keeping children away from the location-

TIPS FOR PARENTS Here are tips Southwest Middle School Resource Officer Jay Bialek has for parents of teenagers who want to join Facebook.

1. Join Facebook if you aren’t already on.

2. Friend your child.

3. Go through your child’s friends list to make sure they know everyone on the list.

4. Make sure you have your child’s username and password in case of an emergency.

5. Check your child’s privacy and account settings. Bialek recommends setting them so only their Facebook friends can see their status updates and photos.

6. Prohibit locationbased social networking sites, such as Gowalla and Foursquare. Theses sites have fewer privacy controls than Facebook and could allow a predator to know where your child is.

7. Don’t allow your child to post personal information, such as address and phone number.

8. Teach appropriate Internet citizenship.

9. Abide by Facebook’s requirement that users need to be at least age 13.

10. Check out resources at facebook.com/help/ safety, netsmartz411.org and safekids.com. based social networking sites such as Gowalla or Foursquare, which allows users to check in to businesses, entertainment venues, restaurants and other popular areas.

“I tell the kids over and over again this is a risky behavior if a predator is monitoring your stuff,” he said.

While an online predator is what grabs a parent’s attention, the far more common problem is the online bullying that occurs among preteens with Facebook accounts.

“I see it constantly and consistently,” Bialek said.

“About three-quarters of it is from kids who aren’t even supposed to be there.”

In a medium where conversations take place instantly, are broadcast to hundreds of people and are part of the permanent record, preteen quarrels can escalate far faster on Facebook.

“I do spend a good deal of time unraveling the social situations that has been created on Facebook,” Bialek said.

Much of what Bialek does is educating students that online actions can have some serious offline consequences.

Stop, think and then click, Bialek tells his students.

Cancer Center staff has chance to sway reviewers during site visit

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The Kansas University Cancer Center sent off its application for designation by the National Cancer Institute in late September, but this week it gets one final chance to sway the group of people who will make the eventual decision on whether it receives designation.

The National Cancer Institute will send a group of reviewers for a site visit. The group will likely consist of directors of other cancer centers along with other scientists. They’ll meet in Kansas City on Tuesday.

“Mostly they’re a group of our peers who have expertise in the same areas we have expertise in,” said Roy Jensen, director of the KU Cancer Center.

The group will divide up the 600-page application. It’s unlikely any one of them will have read the entire grant.

Before they even set foot inside the KU Cancer Center, the group will have reviewed their sec-

tions of the grant and will have developed questions for staff members, focusing on potential weaknesses.

Wednesday will be a very scripted day. The visitors will listen to 10-minute presentations from leaders from throughout KANSAS cancer UNIVERSITY the center. The presentations will be followed by 10 minutes of questions.

About 4 p.m., the presentations will conclude, and everyone will leave the room except for the site visitors and Jensen, and they’ll direct a series of questions to him.

“That’s when I start earning my pay,” Jensen said.

Raymond Perez, medical director of KU’s new clinical research center, said KU will essentially have the opportunity to explain and defend what’s already been submitted.

Hampshire streets. Anyone is invited to contribute art and poetry exploring humans’ relationship with animals to the Percolator space.

Then the coop, with chickens, will be displayed at several open spaces in Lawrence — Hansen is still working out exactly where — for people to observe them and for that collective conversation to take place.

During the display portion, “volunteers and community members alike will become guardians of the chickens as they share in the opportunity of caring for the birds,” according to the project’s artist statement. Initial plans had stated the birds would be slaughtered by local farmer Hank Will and prepared by restaurant staff at 715.

But Matt Hyde, manager of 715, said the restaurant will not be involved.

“We wish (Hansen) well with her project. She’s a talented artist and a wonderful person, but we’re a restaurant and wanted to focus on that,” Hyde said.

The project is one of 10 outside-of-museum works from Kansas and Missouri artists who won a juried grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts’ Rocket Grants, which is supported by Kansas City’s Charlotte Street Foundation and KU’s Spencer Museum of Art.

The controversy Cassandra Smyers, copresident of Lawrence’s Compassion for All Animals group, compared the project to one famous to animal rights activists: a South American exhibit of a stray dog chained inside a museum.

“

(Chickens) shouldn’t be put through this just so we can have food for thought.”

— Cassandra Smyers, co-president of Lawrence’s Compassion for All Animals group She said the group appreciates the potential for the conversation that project would generate but thinks the approach is all wrong.

“We understand the intent behind it is to show an alternative to factory farming,” Smyers said.

“But it’s divorced from that intent. The community won’t get relationships with these chickens, and they’ll just be stressed.”

The group plans to write Hansen with alternative ideas for the project, including choosing to hold a vegan potluck and using pictures of live chickens instead.

“They shouldn’t be put through this just so we can have food for thought,” she said.

As of Saturday, the Spencer Museum of Art’s Facebook page had nearly 200 comments on a post expressing appreciation for “the thoughtful dialogue generated” by the project.

The national Farm Sanctuary group sent a letter to Hansen and the Spencer, signed by director Bruce G. Friedrich.

“While we completely support your kind depiction of your chickens as ‘beautiful and unique’ (they surely are), and while we appreciate your goal of helping people to break out of their ‘disconnection from the consequences of consuming meat,’ if you decide to confine five chickens in a coop, subject them to

that’s changed since the grant went in, but KU’s leaders will essentially stick to the grant.

“We can’t tell a very different story from what we wrote down,” Perez said.

The reviewers then return to their hotel, and edit their written reports one last time, and will come to a consensus on how to rank their particular part of the report.

Each section of the grant will receive a rating — exceptional, outstanding, very good, etc. — and the grant as a whole will receive a rating.

This information will be forwarded to the committee that decides whether to fund the grants. KU’s grant will be evaluated alongside all other cancer center grants up for funding, too.

And after that, there’s nothing more to do but simply wait. KU expects to hear word on whether it receives the designation in the summer.

The support Though the Spencer didn’t have a hand in choosing the project for funding, and it won’t be performed on its grounds, director Saralyn Reece Hardy supports Hansen’s right to free expression.

“The importance of supporting artists in innovative, conversationdriving works — within the limits of the law — is one of the functions of a cultural institution,” she said, adding that the project’s detractors have thus far been respectful.

She said “The Story of Chickens” allows people to “have the opportunity to engage in a conversation, almost on a daily basis, where people really care.”

“What’s coming up are discussions about food production but also about art that takes place in the community,” she said.

“These are very complex, contemporary issues.”

As Hansen continues to prepare the project, the rest of “The Story of Chickens” remains to be told.

She’s soft-spoken, pauses often when talking about her work and “thinks deeply,” as Hardy put it. She shies away from the controversy itself and focuses on the positives of getting people thinking about food and treating animals humanely.

“It’s a community-based project,” Hansen said when asked about what she would say to detractors. “It’s meant to generate dialogue.”

Event builds love of model trains

BRIEFLY

House speaker’s remap plan splits K.C. area TOPEKA — House Speaker Mike O’Neal is floating a new congressional redistricting plan that would split the Kansas City area between two districts and put part of it in a district with rural western Kansas communities 400 miles away.

The proposal from O’Neal was among several plans to redraw the state’s four congressional districts that were unveiled this week during a meeting of the House Redistricting Committee.

O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, appointed himself as the committee’s chairman.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, has been predicting for months that O’Neal would try to move Wyandotte County, which includes Kansas City, Kan., in with rural western and central Kansas counties of the 1st District to dissipate the potential influence of the one of the few Democratic-leaning areas of the state.

Number of farms stable in Kansas WICHITA — The National Agricultural Statistics Service says the number of farms in the U.S. dropped slightly last year and the amount of land used for farming continued to decline.

A report released Friday shows the nation had 2.18 million farms last year. That’s down from 2.19 million farms the previous year.

Meanwhile, the amount of land used for crops, pasture and grazing dwindled further to some 916.9 million acres. That is 1.85 million fewer acres than in 2010. The average U.S. farm size last year was 420 acres.

In Kansas, the numbers remained stable. Kansas had 65,500 farms in 2011, unchanged from 2010.

Some 46 million acres in Kansas were used for crops, pasture and grazing last year.

That’s down from 46.1 million in 2010. Kansas farms averaged 702 acres.

Nate Steinlage, 5, locks his gaze on a model train, then pulls a lever that makes the train cruise down the tracks toward a freight car.

Nate picks the freight car up on the back of the train, then shuttles it over to the west corner of the tracks. Nate is operating on a miniature time-saver layout, a famous train puzzle invented by John Allen.

Basically five freight cars are displaced on the tracks. The train operator has to move them to their designated spots before time runs out.

Expertly, with thoughtful and slow movements, Nate puts the last car in the right location before the 15-minute buzzer sounds. Nate is a big fan of trains. He has Thomas the Tank Engine pusher locomotives and thousands of train-related Legos.

“I can build them from sets, I can make bridges and ... tunnels, and I can control switch trains,” Nate said. “I can (make my trains) wind around the house and come back through the living room again.”

Chief Operating Officer Pat Roach Smith said the center used to see new clients by appointment only if they weren’t under distress, and typically there would be about a week’s wait for an appointment. Then, between 30 and 40 percent of the time, the clients wouldn’t show up.

Roach Smith said it wasn’t a good use of time for their mental health professionals who could be helping others, and it wasn’t good for the patients.

“Research has shown that just like physical health issues, the sooner you receive help with mental health challenges, the better the outcome is likely to be,” she said.

Trains CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Jim Taylor, show coordinator, was pleased with the number of people filing in and out of Building 21 at the fairgrounds Saturday. By 1 p.m., 300 people had stopped by the event to peruse the model trains. Taylor’s interest in trains started when he was child — his dad had lots of trains, and Taylor can remember squatting and crawling to fix a train on his dad’s set whenever one derailed — and his passion was revived again when he attended the Lawrence Model Railroad Club show back in 2003.

After that show, he decided to join the club. He has been a member ever since.

“We get to display our hobby and our trains,” Taylor said. “We get to show (our hobby) to young and old alike. ... I like meeting and talking to new people, and we get a lot of new (Model Railroad Club) members from the show.”

For Paul Dutot, of Olathe, a passion for trains took root when he was a child. And his love of trains never diminished but was discarded temporarily as he married, had children and raised a family. Two of Dutot’s children had a passion for trains when they were young, too, said Dutot, 67. But now they are raising families of their own and will probably put the hobby on hold until that time in their life is over.

THIS TINY MODEL OF A DEWITT CLINTON TRAIN, one of the earliest working passenger lines, was on display Saturday at the 11th annual Lawrence Model Railroad Club Train Show.

A love for model trains is something that sprouts in the heart at a young age, Dutot said. But it’s also a passion that can bloom again in adult life.

The passion is already growing in Nate and his brother, Blake, 8, both at the event.

“I started (with trains) when I was little,” Blake said. “My uncle gave me a train set, and after that I got interested in them and started collecting more. I like to build tunnels out of Tinker Toys and put a blanket over it. Sometimes, if I have a lot of Legos, I like to build tunnels.”

The boys’ grandmother, Ellen Thompson, took

Group mobilizing people to protest state leaders

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Tamara Werth, one of the cofounders of a grass-roots organization that has arisen in opposition to the agenda of Gov. Sam Brownback and Secretary of State Kris Kobach, said many Kansans are upset with the political direction of the state.

“What people do Brownback seem to fall back on is the quality of life — that Kansas has such a strong history of education, social services, Kobach trust-building and neighbor helping neighbor, and that is being diminished and marginalized as a consequence of decisions being made in Topeka,” Werth said.

Werth and Crystal McComas, also of Lawrence, have formed Kansans United in Voice and Spirit, which helped put together a rally last week that drew several hundred people to protest outside Kobach’s office and then Brownback’s office in the Statehouse. It was the group’s second rally in Topeka.

The first one in September drew a similar-sized crowd and was directed mostly at Brownback concerning his cuts to school funding and administration of the social services agency.

But the list of grievances has expanded since then.

At last week’s rally, people spoke against Brownback’s proposals to overhaul the tax code, school finance formula and public pension system, and further changes to social services.

And protesters have also turned their attention to Kobach.

The group criticized Kobach for his work nationally on cracking down on illegal immigrants and in Kansas for pushing through a law that requires photo ID to vote and proof of citizenship for new voter registrations.

“We want a secretary

Closing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

One group maintains that consolidation is needed but would not specifically name what schools should close. That group, which is comprised of Pinckney, Kennedy and Sunset Hill representatives, will discuss their recommendation on how to close schools tonight.

The other group, which met Saturday afternoon, has concluded that the district will never gain the support it needs to issue a bond if schools are closed. The group, which is formed of New York, Hillcrest and Cordley representatives, believes that two of the driving forces for school closures — a severe budget crunch and declining enrollment — have changed.

Here are some of the group’s major points: ! The district had $1 million remaining in its operational funds at the end of the past two fiscal years. ! Elementary enrollment is growing at double the previously expected rate with the growth concentrated in and around

the schools considered for consolidation. ! Elementary schools no longer have large amounts of unused capacity. ! Closing any school would require more building, which would cost more than upgrading the schools up for consolidation. !

If consolidations were to occur, boundaries would change across the entire district.

The group also questioned how much money the district would really save by closing schools because much of the money would go toward mitigating the effect it would have on the schools’ atrisk students.

“Bottom line is we think the costs and harms pretty significantly outweigh the benefits we can get from closing schools,” Cordley parent Chuck Epp said.

Those costs included boundary changes, increase in class sizes, harm to at-risk students, disruption of the English as Second Language program and effect on historic neighborhoods.

Delayed GOP caucus completed EAST MACHIAS, MAINE — Ron Paul gained ground yet failed to overtake Mitt Romney in Saturday’s Republican presidential caucus in eastern Maine, which was held a week after Romney the state Republican Party declared Romney the winner of Maine’s GOP caucuses.

Paul gained 83 votes on Romney as a standing-room crowd packed Washington Academy, where Republicans from more than two dozen towns gathered to cast their votes. Paul received 163 votes to Romney’s 80. Rick Santorum got 57 votes and Newt Gingrich received four votes.

The Maine Republican Party previously announced Romney won the state with a 239vote margin, but Washington County Republicans were angered their votes weren’t counted after their caucus was postponed last Saturday because of a snowstorm.

County Chairman Chris Gardner said the state party should include the caucus tally in the final results, even if it didn’t affect the final outcome. The Republican State Committee will consider the request next month.

NYPD monitored Muslim students all over Northeast

By Chris Hawley Associated Press

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department monitored Muslim college students far more broadly than previously known, at schools far beyond the city limits, including the Ivy League colleges of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, The Associated Press has learned.

Police talked with local authorities about professors 300 miles away in Buffalo and even sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip, where he recorded students’ names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed.

Detectives trawled Muslim student websites every day and, although professors and students had not been accused of any wrongdoing, their names were recorded in reports prepared for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

Asked about the monitoring, police spokesman Paul Browne provided a Funeral held for list of 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorWhitney Houston ism charges in the United NEWARK, N.J.

In recent months, the AP has revealed secret programs the NYPD, built with help from the CIA, to monitor Muslims at the places where they eat, shop and worship. The AP also published details about how police placed undercover officers at Muslim student associations in colleges within the city limits; this revelation has outraged faculty and student groups.

Though the NYPD says it follows the same rules as the FBI, some of the NYPD’s activities go beyond what the FBI is allowed to do.

Gas prices highest ever for this time of year price has risen 11 percent so far this year, to around $119 a barrel, because of tensions with Iran, a cold snap in Europe and rising demand from developing nations. West Texas Intermediate, used to price oil produced in the U.S., is up 4 percent to around $103 a barrel. That’s 19 percent higher than a year earlier.

Higher gas prices could hurt consumer spending and curtail the recent improvement in the U.S. economy.

A 25-cent jump in gasoline prices, if sustained over a year, would cost the economy about $35 billion. That’s only 0.2 percent of the total U.S. economy, but economists say it’s a meaningful amount, especially at a time when growth is only so-so.

New biography honors Ike memory

EDITORIALS

Police case Two cases involving local police officers have placed the Lawrence Police Department in an unflattering light.

A

couple of news stories that broke last week have drawn some unflattering attention to the Lawrence Police Department, and the way these incidents are handled will be critical to maintaining the community’s confidence in local law enforcement.

City leaders confirmed Thursday that two Lawrence police officers had been suspended following an FBI investigation into reports that local officers had fixed traffic tickets in exchange for being given tickets to Kansas University athletic events. The other incident that came to light Thursday involved a Lawrence police officer who was arrested Jan. 5 by a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Although it seems the district attorney’s office is taking a long time to decide whether to prosecute the DUI case, officials say it’s not uncommon to wait for additional test results before making such a decision. Police Chief Tarik Khatib wouldn’t comment on the case, saying that whether the officer had been suspended was a personnel matter.

Nonetheless, the officer’s name is on the record, and local residents will be watching to see how the case is resolved.

Driving under the influence is a serious charge, but the individual officer’s case isn’t as significant to the overall reputation of the police department as the ticket-fixing case. City Manager David Corliss said he didn’t expect criminal charges to be filed in the case, but he assured the public that Khatib was taking “the necessary personnel actions, which are serious.”

They should be.

The KU ticket fiasco is the scandal that just won’t go away. Corliss confirmed that the person whose traffic tickets were fixed now is serving time in federal prison for his or her involvement in the ticket scam. Khatib reportedly received an anonymous tip concerning the tickets in May 2011, and the case was turned over to federal officials for investigation. That was the correct action. Unfortunately, it appears that similar reports concerning police officers had come to light before May 2011 — and before Khatib was chief — and were dismissed after an internal investigation failed to find enough evidence to pursue the cases.

City officials also acknowledge that more than two officers probably were involved in ticket-fixing over a period of several years. That’s disappointing and suggests that the case should have been turned over to federal investigators much sooner.

In recent years, some local residents have called for the creation of a citizens review board to oversee police operations. Over the years, Lawrence has enjoyed an excellent police department free of political influence or outside pressure. The best way to ensure this type of operation is through excellent leadership in the police department and sound oversight by the city manager and city commissioners.

Corliss and Khatib deserve credit for pursuing a case that apparently had been swept under the rug before. Nonetheless, Corliss is correct in saying the police department now has some work to do in rebuilding its reputation in the community.

WASHINGTON — Two coming developments, one dismal and one excellent, pertain to America’s memory of a great man. One of several oversight panels soon will consider a proposed memorial to Dwight Eisenhower. The proposal is an exhibitionistic triumph of theory over function — more a monument to its creator Frank Gehry, practitioner of architectural flamboyance, than to the most underrated president. Fortunately, on Tuesday comes Jean Edward Smith’s biography “Eisenhower in War and Peace,” which demonstrates why the man’s achievements merit a memorial better than the proposed one.

Filling four acres across Independence Avenue from the National Mall, the memorial will have a colonnade of huge limestone-clad columns from which will hang 80-foot stainless-steel mesh “tapestries” depicting images evocative of Eisenhower’s Kansas youth.

And almost as an afterthought, there will be a statue of Eisenhower — as a boy.

Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post’s cultural critic, says the statue suggests Eisenhower “both innocent of and yet pregnant with whatever failings history ultimately attributes to his career.” Failings? A memorial is not an exhaustive assessment, it is a celebration of a preponderance of greatness.

Kennicott praises Gehry’s project because it allows visitors “space to form their own assessment of Eisenhower’s legacy.” But memo-

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Intellectuals and journalists, who are often the last to learn things, regarded Eisenhower as amiable and mediocre. He was neither.” rials are not seminars, they are reminders — that a person esteemed by the nation lived and is worth learning more about.

Kennicott says Gehry’s project acknowledges that “few great men are absolutely great, without flaws and failings.” Good grief. If Ike, with all his defects, was not great, cancel the memorial.

Kennicott celebrates the “relatively small representation of Eisenhower” because “there were other Eisenhowers right behind him, other men who could have done what he did, who would have risen to the occasion if they had been tapped.” How sweetly democratic: Greatness can be tapped hither and yon. But if greatness is so abundant and assured, it is hardly greatness, so cancel all memorials.

So far, the best remembrance

of Eisenhower is Smith’s superb biography of one of three Americans (with Washington and Grant) who were world figures before becoming president. Eisenhower entered the White House having dealt with such demanding military men as John Pershing, Douglas MacArthur and George Marshall, then FDR, Churchill, Stalin (Eisenhower was the only foreigner ever to stand alongside Stalin atop Lenin’s tomb), de Gaulle and others in the excruciatingly complex task of conducting coalition warfare with the largest multinational force ever assembled.

Intellectuals and journalists, who are often the last to learn things, regarded Eisenhower as amiable and mediocre. He was neither.

He was cold (see Smith on Eisenhower’s dismissal of his wartime companion Kay Summersby). He was steely (a three-to-four pack a day smoker, he quit when “I simply gave myself an order”).

He was brutal (he used financial pressure to bring Britain to heel during the 1956 Suez crisis). He was subtle (he assisted de Gaulle’s seizure of power in France in 1944, contrary to FDR’s fervent wishes). He was audacious (he evaded Churchill by dealing directly with Stalin).

After Eisenhower quickly liquidated a stalemated war in Korea, no American died in combat during his presidency. Twice, concerning the French besieged at Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam and during the Formosa Strait crisis,

he resisted — a president with less military confidence might not have — his most senior advisers advocating the use of nuclear weapons.

Smith is most mind-opening regarding Eisenhower on race.

In February 1953 — 15 months before Brown v. Board of Education — he vowed to use every power of his office to end segregation in the District of Columbia and the armed forces – two-thirds of Army units were still segregated five years after President Truman’s integration order. By October 1954, no more segregated units existed.

In 1957, he sent the 101st Airborne to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School. In 1958, he told the Red Cross to ignore a Louisiana law requiring that blood from black and white donors be segregated.

This was in character: In 1942, when Australia desperately sought U.S. troops but said a law prohibited blacks from entering the country, Gen. Eisenhower said, “All right.

No troops.” Australia quickly saw the light.

Smith, biographer of Lucius Clay, John Marshall, Grant and FDR, writes: “(Eisenhower) was buried in a governmentissue, eighty-dollar pine coffin, wearing his famous Ike jacket with no medals or decorations other than his insignia of rank.” His memory should not be buried beneath a grandiose memorial that contributes only to the worsening clutter on and around the Mall.

During his visit to Kansas University, writer Hunter S. Thompson spoke YEARS to about 1,300 peoAGO ple who crammed IN 1987 into the Kansas Union Ballroom to hear him. After arriving about half an hour after his scheduled start time, Thompson paced the stage and ordered the lectern to be taken away, saying that it made him “feel like Billy Graham.” He sat at a table and began his talk by saying, “You know, before I start my long speech, whoever is the angriest and the ugliest and the meanest, get right ... over here.” During his talk, audience members peppered him with questions and party invitations, and one person tossed him a beer from the balcony

Truth is key to reconciliation A story for Black History Month.

Bryan Stevenson is director of the Equal Justice Initiative, a Montgomery, Ala.-based organization he founded in 1989 to provide legal representation for the indigent and incarcerated. The EJI doesn’t charge its clients, but, says Stevenson, he will sometimes require them to read selected books.

Last year, Stevenson sent two books to prisoner Mark Melvin, who is doing life for a murder he committed when he was 14. One was “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” about a doctor’s struggle to bring medical services to Haiti. The other was “Slavery by Another Name,” Douglas Blackmon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning account of how the South instituted a form of de-facto slavery by mass arresting black men on nonsense charges and “selling” them to plantations, turpentine farms and other places of back-breaking labor.

Stevenson says the prison allowed Melvin to receive the first book but banned the second. Prison officials, says Stevenson, felt it was “too provocative, they didn’t like the title, they didn’t like the idea that the title conveyed. They didn’t read the book, but they were concerned about it and thought that it would be ‘too dangerous’ to have in the prisons.”

Stevenson filed suit. As the case wends its way through the courts, it speaks with an eloquence to our complicated relationship with African-

… the issue, it seems obvious, is a frightful, embarrassing history — and the suppression thereof.”

American history here in this 86th observance of what was once called Negro History Week. America, says Stevenson, struggles with “denialism,” i.e., a refusal to face its grim past of racial crimes and human rights violations.

The issue is not Mark Melvin. Stevenson says the attorney for the state — who declined to comment for this column — has told him the prison is not worried about Melvin; he is not considered a disciplinary problem.

The issue is not security.

Since filing the suit, says Stevenson, he has heard from other prisoners who tell him that “years ago, there were a handful of Alabama prisons where the wardens would not let them watch ‘Roots.’”

No, the issue, it seems obvious, is a frightful, embarrassing history — and the suppression thereof.

“Other countries that have tried to recover from severe human rights problems that have lasted for decades,” says Stevenson, “have always recognized that you have to commit yourself to truth and reconciliation: South Africa, Rwanda. In the United States we never did that. We had legal reforms that were imposed on some populations against their will and then we just carried on.”

The key words being “against their will.” Indeed, Stevenson feels it’s “just a matter of time” before the nation begins to minimize “what segregation really was,” like a black version of Holocaust denial.

That’s already happening.

In 2010, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour claimed integration in his state was “a very pleasant experience.”

Actually, integration in his state was marked by, among other atrocities, a firebombing, a fatal riot, the assassination of Medgar Evers, and the murders of three voting rights workers.

The only effective weapon against such lies is to learn the truth and tell it, shout it in the face of untruth, equivocation and denial. Bear witness.

The good news, assuming you are not a prisoner in Alabama, is that you need no one’s permission to do so.

Douglas County Commissioner Arthur Heck had said on the previous YEARS day that he conAGO sidered a new cityIN 1972 county judicial building to be “the area of top priority and the most pressing need of the county.”

Heck said that it might be necessary to hold a bond election for the project later this year.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 19, 1912: YEARS “With preparaAGO tions being made IN 1912 all over Kansas for the graduating of hundreds of students from the State High Schools, the vital question is where will they go to get ‘Higher Education?’ It is asserted by University workers who travel over the state that either many of these boys and girls do not come to the University, or if they do they fail to remain by their choice of K.U. for their alma mater. Naturally these questions are more pertinent to Lawrence than to any other town.”

Bench-clearing rout KANSAS 83, TEXAS TECH 50

Ex-walk-on Juenemann hits for 7, career high

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior walk-on Jordan Juenemann was playing press defense for the Red Team — the scout team — 10 minutes into practice on Jan. 13 when KU director of basketball operations Barry Hinson appeared on the Allen Fieldhouse floor.

“Coach (Bill) Self Juenemann yelled, ‘Jordan!’ and I thought I was in trouble.

Like, ‘What did I do?’” Juenemann said, entering storyteller mode after Saturday’s 83-50 home rout of Texas Tech.

“Coach said, ‘Coach Hinson has something to show you with these papers.’ Right when I got to coach Hinson, coach Self said to the team, ‘Jordan is getting ready to sign his scholarship papers.’

Right there I had a feeling I can’t even describe. Coming in as a freshman, my goal was to do that. To have that accomplished ... I’m just proud,” added the former Hays High standout, a walkon no more.

Border War loss ‘dagger’ for KU

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

The reality hit hard in the postgame press conference following the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s 70-65 loss to Missouri on Saturday afternoon.

Any aspirations of an NCAA Tournament appearance most likely faded with the Jayhawks’ defensive meltdown against the Big 12’s worst team.

“It’s a dagger, there’s no doubt about that,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the loss. “It’s a dagger.”

Hosmer, Moustakas reach K.C. deals KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Royals agreed to contracts with first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas, outfielder Lorenzo Cain and right-hander Luis Mendoza on Saturday, two days before pitchers and catchers are due to report to spring training.

Hosmer will make $502,500 after putting together a stellar debut season in 2011. Moustakas will make $487,250 after also getting his initial big-league call-up last year, while Cain will make $480,850 and Mendoza $488,925.

All four players have fewer than three years of service time, which means their contracts could be set at the club’s discretion. The remaining unsigned

players on the Royals’ 40-man roster are right-handers Louis Coleman, Greg Holland and Vin Mazzaro, left-hander Danny Duffy, catcher Salvador Perez and infielders Alcides Escobar and Johnny Giavotella.

Pitchers and catchers report on Monday while the rest of the squad reports Friday. The first full-squad workout in Surprise, Ariz., is scheduled for Feb. 25.

Royals owner David Glass told The Associated Press last month that he’s already indicated to general manager Dayton Moore to think about long-term deals for some of the franchise’s top young talent, including Hosmer and Moustakas, considered two of its cornerstones.

COMMENTARY

Hosmer hit .439 over his first 26 games with Triple-A Omaha last season, essentially forcing the Royals to bring him up to the majors. He responded by hitting .293 with 19 homers and 78 RBIs and getting plenty of attention for the American League Rookie of the Year award.

Moustakas also started off in Triple-A, and initially struggled when he was called up in early June. But the Royals stuck with him, and he broke through in August, hitting .352 with four homers and 12 RBIs over the final month of the season.

Cain is expected to take over in center field after the team sent outfielder Melky Cabrera to the San Francisco Giants for

starting pitcher Jonathan Sanchez during the offseason.

The speedy Cain .312 with 16 homers, 81 RBIs and 16 steals in 128 games at Omaha last season.

Mendoza revamped his mechanics last season and wound up earning pitcher of the year honors in the Pacific Coast League, where he went 12-5 with a 2.18 earned-run average for Omaha.

Sanchez, Bruce Chen and Luke Hochevar are considered the top three arms in the Kansas City rotation. Mendoza will compete in spring training with Felipe Paulino, Danny Duffy, Aaron Crow and Mike Montgomery, among others, for the final two starting jobs.

By Mac Engel Fort Worth Star-Telegram

While news vans have been driving around TCU’s campus in wake of the Great Drug Scandal of 2012, the vast majority of people around University Drive carry on as if nothing happened.

The coaches of the other teams at TCU have met with their respective kids to remind them, basically, “Don’t be stupid.�

A lot of my media brethren have described a football culture that exists at TCU of “entitled� players. Because before this “scandal,� the last word I ever associated with a wealthy private school such as TCU is “entitled,� “enabled� or “indulged.�

I am sincerely honored to teach a class at TCU, and the reaction from one student was, “I just always figured this goes on at every Division I football team.�

The rumor mill was nearly broken that night as stories of “The pot came from Pakistan� to “They’re calling us Texas Cocaine University� and “Gary Patterson will be fired over this.�

Marijuana consumption has become akin to speeding; you’re not supposed to do it, yet the highway is full of drivers clocking 80.

The student’s surprise was because guys on scholarship with something to lose took the risk of dealing for what appears to be a few hundred bucks.

Did TCU overreact, as colleague Bud Kennedy suggested in this paper on Friday? Maybe.

This is not the Medellin Cartel here. But given how Ohio State, Penn State and other places underreacted to their scandals, this day and age might require more overreaction with a dash of prejudice.

Where TCU failed, and this starts with Gary Patterson, was in advertising and selling the program as clean and pristine — that it did things “the right way.�

When it comes to records, other than win/loss, keep quiet about your clean slate because you never know when that call is coming. Don’t advertise that you know everything about every one of your kids, because you don’t and because it’s impossible.

Situations like this are part of the deal you make when you want to be big time. Stay at a place long enough and the 2 a.m. call always comes. It’s math.

GP has been the head coach of what is now a consistent Top 25 Division I college football program with an annual roster of approximately 100 kids.

Multiply that by how long GP has been the head coach, since 2000, and the odds decrease annually of TCU remaining clean and pristine. At some point, eventually, a young college kid (or several) was going to do something stupid, and the frog was going to get a little muddy with the law, the NCAA or both.

PHIL MICKELSON WATCHES HIS TEE SHOT ON THE SECOND HOLE during the third round of the Northern Trust Open. Mickelson fired a 1-under-par 70 on Saturday at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles for a share of the lead entering the final round.

Mickelson, Bradley share Northern Trust lead LOS ANGELES — Phil Mickelson hit one tree, threaded a shot through five trees and hit a drive that wound up in a spectator’s shorts. He somehow managed a 1-under 70 on Saturday to share the lead with PGA champion Keegan Bradley in the Northern Trust Open.

Bradley, inspired by a Riviera course that is one of his favorites, took only five putts over the final five holes, including a 10-footer for par on the last hole, for a 5-under 66 that assured him of being in the final group.

The par was meaningful because he wanted to play today with Mickelson, a mentor to him.

There’s no telling what to expect in the final round. The phrase “routine par� was not part of Mickelson’s vocabulary on a beautiful afternoon off Sunset Boulevard.

Mickelson played one chip well past the hole on the par-3 sixth so it would roll off the bank some 25 feet behind the cup and roll back. He made a 12-footer for his par.

The only disappointment was not taking advantage of enough birdie chances, twice missing birdie putts inside 8 feet and failing to give himself a good look on the par-5 17th when his wedge rolled off the front of the green.

Mickelson and Bradley were at 7-under 206, though this is hardly a two-man race at Riviera.

A dozen players were within four shots of the lead going into the final round, including defending champion Aaron Baddeley (66), Dustin Johnson (67) and FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas (68).

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a third-round 72 and was five shots over par for the tournament.

GOLF

Miyazato leads in Thailand CHONBURI, THAILAND — Ai Miyazato shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead over topranked Yani Tseng after the third round of the LPGA Thailand.

Perry sets 36-hole record NAPLES, FLA. — Kenny Perry shot a 10-under 62 and broke the Champions Tour’s 36-hole scoring record with an 18-under 126 total in the ACE Group Classic. First-round leader Larry Mize was three strokes back after a 67.

Tom Lehman was 14 under after a 66, and Langer, the winner last year at The Quarry, was another shot back after a 65.

BOXING

Klitschko outpoints Chisora MUNICH — Chaos broke out after Vitali Klitschko unanimously outpointed Dereck Chisora to retain his WBC heavyweight belt Saturday night when Chisora got into a brawl with former WBA champion David Haye at the postmatch news conference.

Haye called for a fight between the two British boxers, leading to a heated exchange before Chisora descended to face Haye and they came to blows.

Camera equipment went flying and reporters fled before security eventually managed to separate the men and police arrived at the scene. “You’ve really lost it this time,� Chisora told Haye.

Klitschko beat Chisora in a bruising encounter in which the Ukrainian claimed to have fought from the fourth round with only his right fist after hurting his left hand.

Chisora found little support from the sellout crowd of 12,500 after slapping Klitschko’s face at the weigh-in on Friday, and ensured the ill feelings continued when he spat in the 40-yearold’s face as the champion’s record was being called out before their bout.

AUTO RACING

Kyle Busch wins Shootout DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — Kyle Busch edged Tony Stewart in a thrilling finish of the first race of 2012, using a sling-shot pass Saturday night on the last lap of the exhibition Budweiser Shootout to beat the defending NASCAR champion to the checkered flag.

It gave Busch a victory in a wild race that saw him use two incredible saves to stay in contention at Daytona International Speedway.

The event was a preview of next weekend’s season-opening Daytona 500, and showed that NASCAR has successfully broken up the two-car tandem racing that dominated restrictor-plate racing last year. Fans were overwhelmingly opposed to that style of racing, and NASCAR worked hard through the offseason to develop a rules package that would separate the cars.

It was obvious at the start that the new rules worked as the cars were lumped in a big pack from the drop of the green flag. It led to the first multi-car accident a mere nine laps into the race when David Ragan nudged Paul Menard to trigger the nine-car accident.

A later wreck with two laps remaining sent Jeff Gordon sliding on his roof for roughly 1,000 feet. The four-time NASCAR champion ultimately climbed out the window with his car still upside down, and said it was the first time in his career he’d been on his roof.

Gordon’s accident began when he ran into the back of Busch, who used his second save of the night to avoid the accident.

Gerhart takes ARCA race DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — Bobby Gerhart has won his eighth ARCA series race at Daytona International Speedway. Gerhart, who started 42nd after failing a post-qualifying inspection, passed several rapidly slowing cars a few hundred feet from the finish line Saturday for his third consecutive victory at the storied speedway.

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

Lions dominate 6A regional

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In the hunt for a state title, sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

For Lawrence High’s wrestling team, which played host to a Class 6A regional tournament Saturday, that meant forgoing a possible regional championship with next weekend — and a trip to the state tournament — in mind.

Though 170-pound Lions junior Nick Pursel advanced to the finals with a pinfall victory in the first round and a major decision in the semifinals, LHS coach Pat Naughton determined before the tournament that Pursel, who is nursing a left-shoulder injury, wouldn’t compete in the championship round as a precaution.

With Pursel’s left arm in a sling, Shawnee Mission East’s Blaine Hill won the 170-pound final by default, and the Lancers went on to win the team title, edging LHS by three points.

“We want to be sure he’s good and rested for state,” Naughton said of Pursel. “A regional championship is nice and all that, but you want to make sure your team’s healthy, too, when you go down to state. I’ll sacrifice a regional championship for a state championship.”

When the state tourney begins at 10 a.m. Friday at Hartman Arena in Wichita, the No. 3-ranked Lions will have 10 wrestlers contributing to the team’s quest for a crown.

Half of those will come in as regional champions.

Freshman Tristan Star (106 pounds), sophomore Garrett Girard (113), junior Hunter Haralson (126), junior Caden Lynch (132) and senior Reece Wright-

LAWRENCE HIGH WRESTLER CADEN LYNCH, TOP, WORKS against Free State’s Andrew McLees in the 132-pound division at the Class 6A regional tournament Saturday at LHS. Lynch won the championship match, 21-9.

Conklin (182) all won their championship matches for LHS. Pursel, runner-up Brad Wilson (220), third-place finishers Macon Ezell (152) and Alex Jones (285) and fourth-place Ryan Walter (120) also will help LHS try to contend for a state title.

Wright-Conklin, a two-time individual state champion, was glad to see so many of his teammates extend their seasons. The senior said it will be nice to have Lions representing the program in 10 of the 14 weight classes.

“Ten is a great number any way you look at it,” Wright-Conklin said.

“It could be worse. We’re going for a state title, so we’re gonna need everyone we can get.”

Lynch, too, was excited about the quantity of LHS grapplers punching their tickets. But he said once they get to state, a key to success will be not worrying about what is on the

line or who will be on the other side of the mat.

“A match is a match,” Lynch said.

That might be true, but LHS wrestlers showed more excitement than at nearly any other point in the day while watching Jones in the third-place match, the final contest of the day. The Lions went wild as the inexperienced sophomore turned a 1-0 deficit after two periods into a 6-3 victory.

Wright-Conklin said Jones is new to wrestling, and it was great to see the big man’s teammates cheering for him.

“We didn’t think he was ever gonna get this far,” Wright-Conklin said. “So for him to do this, man, it’s great for him.”

Free State, which finished sixth at the eightteam regional, will send four of its wrestlers to Wichita. Though the Firebirds came up short in their three title matches — 132-pound senior Andrew

HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING AND DIVING

Lawrence High’s Andregg wins first state swim title

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior Zach Andregg already had taken third place in the 50 freestyle Saturday at the Class 6A state swimming and diving meet at Capitol Federal Natatorium.

But that wasn’t going to be enough to satisfy him on his final day competing for the LHS program.

Andregg thought to himself: “I only have one more chance to try to win and get a state championship.”

It turned out the 500 freestyle was his best option. Andregg won the race by more than three seconds for his first state title. He had never cracked the top three in the 500 in his previous three trips to state, but Andregg was motivated and set a personal record with a time of 4:43.28.

“The guy who beat me in prelims (Wichita Heights’ Kyle Cullinan) was coming in a second faster than me,” the Lions senior said. “I was pretty worried that he was gonna be up there with me the whole entire time.”

Actually, Cullinan ended up fifth. Zack Holbrook of state champion Shawnee Mission East came in second, and Free State sophomore Canaan Campbell took third.

However, LHS coach Kent McDonald said, neither swimmer was able to keep up with Andregg, who led by a couple of body-lengths early on.

“He just shut everyone down, and no one really had a shot at him once he got that lead,” the coach said.

Andregg also swam with Adam Edmonds, Dylan Orth and Reid Hilden-

“It means a lot, because we’ve been through a lot,” Gillman said. “We’ve had issues.”

Securing a spot meant plenty to Soukup in particular, who had missed a few weeks of wrestling because of a head injury but was cleared to compete in time for the regional.

“It’s fantastic,” Gillman said. “He had, the last couple years, missed it just barely. We told him, ‘This is your year.’ And he got really excited about it, and he wanted to make sure he qualified.”

NOTEBOOK

Giants’ Tynes among fans in ’house

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

New York Giants placekicker Lawrence Tynes, whose team won the Super Bowl, attended the KU-Texas Tech game and was introduced to the crowd as a Tynes highlight video appeared on the big screen.

“We’re building a house in Overland Park,” said Tynes, a former member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

“It was a blast,” Juenemann said. “Before the game, Coach said ‘We have just three (home) games left.’ He gave me four minutes of opportunity. It was so much fun.”

All’s well that ended well for KU on a night that started on what Self called “kind of a downer.”

A power surge in the fieldhouse knocked out the videoboard screen at an inopportune time, during introductions when the pregame highlight video (the one capped by Mario Chalmers’ gametying three in the 2008 national title game) blares and fires up the crowd and the team. The video was shown at halftime.

“I told the guys, ‘There’s no highlight film, so let’s make our own highlights,’” Self said.

The Jayhawks hit their first six shots in rolling to a 14-7 lead. KU led, 44-22, at halftime, then looked a bit lethargic in outscoring Tech, 39-28, the second half.

“We are so immature in some ways, and when we get challenged we are terrific. Certainly the second half wasn’t anything to write home about, but we did have some great possessions on both ends in the second half.”

Tech doesn’t have horses ————

Gillispie likens Red Raiders to Seabiscuit

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie seemed to understand his team’s underdog status following its 83-50 loss to Kansas University on Saturday night.

Asked about his team’s difficulties on the defensive glass, Gillispie referenced the movies.

“When you look at our guys ... ‘Seabiscuit’ is one of my favorite movies,” Gillispie said. “I keep on thinking every single time when we have the tip, remember that scene in ‘Seabiscuit’ where they walk Seabiscuit out here, and he’s going against War Admiral, and War Admiral’s about this much taller than him?”

The analogy seemed to hold up past the tip.

“

There were some positives. Gillispie was pleased with his team’s three-point shooting, as the Red Raiders made six of 12 three-pointers. TTU also was 8-for-8 from the free-throw line.

Gillispie complimented his team for getting the ball inside, though many times Tech wasn’t able to score there. The Red Raiders made just 12 of 32 shots from two-point range (38 percent).

“We just made too many mental errors,” Gillispie said, “and that’s why the game wasn’t closer.”

Gillispie, who admitted that he likes a good challenge, said it was just a matter of time before Texas Tech started succeeding like schools at some of his previous coaching stops.

“We’ve done this before, and we’ll do it again,” Gillispie said. “And it’ll be TEXAS TECH COACH BILLY GILLISPIE TRIES to get his players’ attention. done in quick order.”

shortly after making a three-pointer, played a productive 12 minutes that included a pair of steals.

But it’s not as if Kansas coach Bill Self is going to change his rotation based on one game against the least-experienced, last-place team in the Big 12. The bench scored 31 points Saturday, which was just five more than the output in Lubbock.

Going to a place like Manhattan to face a hungry, physical Kansas State team, where the bench scored two points, is a better indicator.

Teahan will continue to play a lot to spell the perimeter players and force the defense to spread out to cover him because he can get hot, three points at a time. Justin Wesley will get his minutes and his personal fouls when the opposition has two tall post players. In other situations, Kevin Young will play. Of all the players on the bench, Young seems most likely to have a shot at increasing his minutes.

How can he do that?

“Play harder,” Young said. “Play a lot harder.”

Defend better. Defend a lot better.

Young has had his moments, and when playing with confidence can produce offensively, scoring and on the boards. Saturday was his third doubledigit scoring output. He opened the season with 13 points against Towson.

And in the unquestioned highlight of his season, Young scored 14 points in a season-high 24 minutes against Ohio State, making six of eight field-goal attempts.

Against the strongest teams in the Big 12, he hasn’t fared as well, although in two games against Iowa State he did score nine points in 26 minutes. In the two

KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY STUFFS A SHOT by Texas Tech forward Jaye Crockett before being called for a foul during the first half.

Baylor games and the Missouri game, he was scoreless in 17 minutes.

Kansas will continue to rely on its starters more than most teams. Defensively, that fivesome is playing great, anchored by shot-blocker Jeff Withey in the back and by a strong perimeter trio that knows how to apply pressure and deny passes.

Offensively, the team has looked a little spotty at times lately, and Self explained how it needs to get back on track there.

“Sometimes, when you play against different defenses and some guys are denying some guys

the ball, frustration sets in,” Self said. “It’s why we should throw the ball to Thomas (Robinson) every possession, because the more he touches it, the better passer he is. That goes for any big. Danny (Manning) will tell you this: When they never touch the ball, and then they touch it, they feel like they have to score.”

Texas A&M defends well, so Kansas will need to figure out how to pound the ball inside against the Aggies, so that the Jayhawks will have fresh practice entering Saturday’s monster game against Missouri.

KU baseball starts 3-0 for first time since 2007 J-W Staff Reports

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Kansas University baseball’s team picked up two more victories Saturday to jump out to 3-0 — the best start for KU since it went 5-0 in 2007.

Sophomore Tucker Tharp drove in the goahead runs to lead KU over Bowling Green, 3-1, in the first of two games at E.S. Rose Field.

Junior closer Tanner Poppe, who switched over from the starting rotation, picked up his first save of the season.

KU coach Ritch Price

was pleased with Poppe’s first save opportunity.

“I couldn’t have been more pleased with pitching in Game One. I thought it was crucial that he (Poppe) got on the field with a game on the line and found a way to close out the opposition,” Price said.

The Jayhawks shut out Belmont, 2-0, behind the arm of Thomas Taylor in the second game.

Taylor took just 89 pitches to get through 81⁄3 scoreless innings. He allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out five.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kansas University’s softball team won both ends of a doubleheader at the Charlotte Classic on Saturday, extending its win streak to seven games.

Freshman Alicia Pille Pille (4-2) shut out Stony Brook, 2-0 in the morning game. Pille allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out 11.

“Pille came out strong, stayed strong and had a lot more control over her

pitches,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “She really worked to dominate hitters and had a lot of poise out there all game.”

The Jayhawks came back from a 3-0 first-inning deficit to score five runs in the fourth and beat Middle Tennessee State, 6-3, in the afternoon game. Sophomore Ashley Newman jump-started the KU offense with a triple.

Junior Maggie Hull drove in Newman for Kansas’ first run of the game.

“To come out and be down three, that kind of knocked the wind out of our sails, and then Ashley came up and got that triple. That got us started,” Smith said. “I knew when that happened — and our

We made some tough twos, and they didn’t even have to take many tough twos.”

Sutherland led KU with 23 points on 10-for-17 shooting, while Goodrich added 13 points on 6-for-16 shooting with nine assists and seven turnovers.

KU lost in front of a season-high home crowd of 6,402 in its “Jayhawks for a Cure” game.

After starting the season 15-2 and 4-1 in conference, KU (17-9, 6-8 Big 12) has dropped seven of its last nine games to put its NCAA hopes on life support.

“I’m not really focused on that right now. I’m just focused on the next game,” Jackson said, before raising a hand to her eyes to push back tears.

“This loss is going to hurt us. They were 0-12 in the conference. It’s going to hurt us,” Sutherland added. “We need to win some where people think we’re not going to win.”

KU women The Jayhawks struggled from the start.

Missouri opened on an 8-0 run, helped by threepointers from Flores and Bree Fowler.

It was a sign of things to come. MU was rarely contested on any of its first-half three-point attempts, making six of eight three-pointers before halftime (75 percent).

“They’ve been shooting threes lights-out lately,” Goodrich said, “and that’s all we gave them in the first half.”

KU closed to 26-20 on a jumper by Sutherland with 6:10 left in the first half, but the senior picked up her second foul just over a minute later.

Henrickson checked Sutherland out for the rest of the half, and the Jayhawks scored just two points over the final 5:06. During that time, MU used an 11-2 run to pull ahead, 37-22, at the break.

Henrickson said she believed holding Sutherland out for the rest of the half was the correct decision, especially considering the run KU made in the second half.

“On the road I probably would have put her in, quite honestly,” Henrickson said. “At home, with the crowd and the energy, I felt like we could get back in it, and we did.”

Sutherland scored 19 of her 23 points after the break, but the halftime deficit proved to be too much, as KU couldn’t get any closer than three.

Missouri shot better than 55 percent from the floor for the first time since December of 2005.

“Holy buckets, that’s a long time,” MU coach Robin Pingeton said.

Before Saturday, MU’s top shooting effort was a 44-percent performance against Texas Tech on Jan. 7.

“Uncontested threes and layups,” Henrickson said. “If we got the

A pair of freshmen led KU on offense in that game. Michael Suiter was 3-for-3, while Justin Protacio drove in both of the Jayhawks’ runs.

Kansas will play its final game in Nashville at 1 p.m. today against Lipscomb.

Kansas St. 57, No. 9 Baylor 56 WACO, TEXAS — Angel Rodriguez is still making plenty of mistakes at Kansas State. The freshman guard is obviously learning and doing a lot to make up for them.

Despite a potentially costly turnover in the final seconds, Rodriguez had 15 points, six assists and a key steal for the Wildcats in their win at Baylor on Saturday.

Rodriguez was coming off a game with seven turnovers and no points in a loss to No. 4 Kansas. And in a home game against Baylor last month, he had two turnovers in a 13-second span late that led to consecutive fastbreak baskets by the Bears that put them ahead to stay.

Pierre Jackson drove around Rodriguez to open Saturday’s game with a layup for Baylor, then had two of his four turnovers in the opening minute.

With 5 1/2 minutes left, Rodriguez missed a shot.

Quincy Miller grabbed the rebound, but Rodriguez reached around and tied up the ball, getting credit for a steal with the possession arrow pointing to Kansas State (18-8, 7-7 Big 12).

Rodriguez then had an assist with a lob pass to Jordan Henriquez, who grabbed the ball in the air between defenders and flipped it in while being fouled. Henriquez added the free throw to put the Wildcats ahead 52-51.

Kansas State trailed only one more time, but for only 15 seconds before Henriquez had a dunk with 1:55 left.

Rodriguez had an apparent breakaway layup with 13 seconds left after a turnover by Jackson.

But Rodriguez was called for traveling, wiping out the basket and giving the Bears one more chance.

After Rodriguez traveled, Jackson worked the ball up the court for Baylor and got it inside to Miller, who was surrounded as he tried to get off a game-winning shot.

Henriquez was credited with a blocked shot as time expired.

Rodney McGruder also had 15 points for the Wildcats, who had lost their previous two games

and play Tuesday at No. 3 Missouri. Henriquez finished with nine points and seven rebounds.

Texas A&M cut the lead to five points on a threepointer by Elston Turner with 1:22 remaining. A turnover by Phil Pressey on the next play gave A&M the ball back.

David Loubeau had a chance to get A&M within three, but he was called for an offensive foul when he knocked Steve Moore to the ground going up for the shot.

The Wildcats (26-1, 11-0 Southeastern Conference) are 49-0 at home under head coach John Calipari as part of the nation’s longest active home winning streak.

Kentucky took an early 16-5 lead, but the Rebels took advantage of freshman center Anthony Davis sitting for much of the first half because of foul trouble.

Ole Miss forwards Terrance Henry and Murphy Holloway took the ball inside without the nation’s leading shot blocker looming. Henry, who had 16 of his 18 points in the first half, helped the Rebels (15-11, 5-7) take a 31-29 lead.

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS GUARD MO WILLIAMS, RIGHT, steals the ball from San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili. The Spurs defeated the Clippers, 103-100 in overtime, Saturday in Los Angeles for their 10th straight victory.

Nets 97, Bulls 85 CHICAGO — Deron Williams scored 29 points, Kris Humphries had 24 points and 18 rebounds, and New Jersey beat Chicago to snap an eightgame losing streak.

Chicago’s Derrick Rose missed his fifth straight game because of back pain, and the Nets took advantage, jumping out to a 22-3 lead while rolling to their first victory since Feb. 1.

The lopsided win wasn’t the only good news for New Jersey. Coach Avery Johnson said center Brook Lopez will start Sunday against Milwaukee after being sidelined all season by a broken right foot, a big boost for a team that began the day last in the Atlantic Division.

Lopez was injured in the preseason and the Nets have struggled.

Grizzlies 104, Warriors 103 MEMPHIS, TENN. — Tony Allen scored on a tip-in with 5.6 seconds left to give Memphis its fourth straight victory. Allen scored after Rudy Gay missed a shot to the right of the lane. Memphis also won on a tip-in off a miss from Gay on Friday night, beating Denver 103-102 on Dante Cunningham’s tip.

The Warriors had one last shot after Allen’s tipin, but David Lee was called for an offensive foul with less than a second left, sending the Warriors their third straight loss.

Gay led Memphis with 19 points, and O.J. Mayo had 18. Marc Gasol added 17 points and 13 rebounds, Marreese Speights had 16 points, Mike Conley finished with 15 points and six assists, and Allen had 11 points.

Trail Blazers 97, Hawks 77 PORTLAND, ORE. — LaMarcus Aldridge had 19 points and 10 rebounds in his return from a left ankle injury, and Portland beat Atlanta night to snap a four-game home losing streak.

Nicolas Batum had 22 points, including a decisive dunk in the fourth quarter that made it 82-63.

The Trail Blazers avoided losing five straight at home since the 2005-06 season. They also ended a six-game losing streak to the Hawks.

Joe Johnson had 19 points for Atlanta, and Josh Smith added 14 points and 10 rebounds.

The Hawks have lost six of their last nine games.

Coach to Lin: Don’t sweat turnovers GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Jeremy Lin has flawlessly handled Linsanity.

Handling the ball has been tougher.

The Knicks’ point guard has been turnover prone, and it finally caught up to New York on Friday in an 89-85 loss to New Orleans.

It was the Knicks’ first loss since Lin became the starter and an international sensation.

All the hype, and seven straight wins, had prevented much attention on his mistakes. But when he coughed the ball up nine times Friday, tied for the most in the NBA this season, Lin put the blame on himself and perhaps gave the team reason for worry.

Not so, coach Mike D’Antoni said Saturday, insisting that Lin’s turnovers are “not even a concern” and that the ex-Harvard guard will be a quick study.

“I just want him to keep his mentality to not get hesitant, ‘Oh, I might turn it over,’” D’Antoni said.

“That’s OK. Risk it.”

Taking those risks led to some of Friday’s miscues. D’Antoni said Lin

occasionally went for the “home run play,” rather than take a simpler option that may have been available, things they looked at on film Saturday.

“I mean he’s a levelheaded kid. He’s not going to get d o w n .

He’ll take the blame, that’s what S t e v e Nash did all the time, ‘my fault,’ but Lin he knows the next game is brand new,” D’Antoni said. “He’s playing better than he said he played.

“Twenty-eight (actually 26) points and five assists, you might say, ‘Oh, that’s not Linsanity,’ but for any NBA player that’s pretty good. Just too many turnovers.”

Lin has played fearlessly, particularly for someone who had no previous NBA success until two weeks ago. He took big fourth-quarter shots on national TV to beat Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, and calmly fired the tiebreak-

ing three-pointer with 0.5 seconds left that gave the Knicks a 90-87 victory in Toronto.

So he wasn’t going to let his first failure as an NBA starter linger too long.

“I’m going to keep my preparation the same. I’m OK moving onto the next game,” he said. “I’m going to make mistakes and have bad games, but that’s fine with me. I’m going to grow as a player, so I’m not too worried.”

Skeptics of Lin note the weakness of the Knicks’ schedule since Linsanity began, with only two winning teams among the seven games.

The schedule gets real rugged before the All-Star break, including nationally televised games against Dallas today and Miami on Thursday.

The Mavericks made LeBron James look ordinary in the NBA finals, so they might have a field day against an undrafted player. Jason Kidd, still one of the league’s craftiest defenders, will probably have a few tricks for his fellow Northern California native.

Mavericks owner Mark

Cuban tried to bring Linsanity to Dallas, bringing Lin in for summer league in 2010 and making him a guaranteed offer. But he said Lin preferred to play closer to home and eventually signed with the Warriors.

And Cuban, whose team has won six in a row, seems to be enjoying Lin’s breakout just like his many fans from New York to Asia.

“It’s great, it’s great for the league, so you’ve got to love it,” Cuban said.

“And Jeremy Lin is a great kid, so I’m happy for him.”

Lin seems so focused on his basketball that he refuses to get caught up in the hoopla surrounding him.

He didn’t know he was being added to the AllStar Rising Stars Challenge or even which team he ended up on — Shaq drafted him with the No. 3 pick for his squad — nor was he aware that Time Warner cable and MSG network had settled a dispute to put Knicks games back on TV in New York, a breakthrough that was clearly in response for cries to see Lin play.

Aperture setting can be used to manipulate depth of field

he typical camera has a control dial on top.

Last week I reviewed how setting this dial to “S’ “T” or “Tv”, controls the shutter speed. The other primary controls on this dial are “A” or “Av” for aperture priority, “P” for program, and on some cameras, “M” for manual.

Honestly, most people don’t know an aperture from an aperitif. If you do, consider yourself a well-schooled photographer.

For those who need a refresher, the aperture is basically an opening through which light travels. Like shutter speeds, different sized apertures control the quantity of light entering your camera. If you think of your camera and

THIS PHOTOGRAPH OF MY WIFE HOLDING A DRAGON for Chinese New Year demonstrates a creative use of a camera’s aperture. By selecting a large aperture, represented by an f/ stop number of f/2.0 on the camera, and focusing only on the dragon, I created a very shallow depth of field, throwing the entire background out of focus. lens as a window with curtains, your aperture is the size of your curtain opening and the shutter speed is how fast you open and close the gap in the curtain.

One of the reasons people don’t pay much attention to the aperture is because on

It’s the middle of January.

There’s still a Christmas tree in the corner, and kids’ footsteps rattle the floors upstairs at the Kuhlman residence.

“Daddy, we made a mess,” one of them yells on the edge of the stairwell.

“OK,” an exasperated Les Kuhlman says. “Just stay upstairs. They’re filming down there.”

Welcome to the set of an independent film. The playroom, the wooden model trains and the Christmas decorations are all part of Les and Kendra Kuhlman’s actual Lawrence home, but they are also live sets for Blake Robbins’ directorial debut, a feature he wrote called “The Sublime and Beautiful.”

When the cameras roll, the Kuhlman’s house becomes the home of David and Kelly Conrad, a couple whose lives are thrown into chaos when their children are killed in a drunken-driving accident one week be-

Sun worship burns later in life I

was a child of the ’60s.

By that I mean an actual child — age 5 to 15, over the course of the decade.

Like most children of the day, I spent every waking moment I could in the sun: climbing trees, building forts, playing jacks on the sidewalk, diving into mountains of freshly raked leaves.

Summers, I lived at the pool. We’re talking daily, eight-hour occupation whenever possible. I took swimming lessons from deeply tanned lifeguards, advancing from “Goldfish” to “Dolphin” level over the years. I played Marco Polo, performed “can openers” off the high board and dived for shiny copper pennies on the bottom of the deep end.

Heck, I even signed on for the swim team, until I had to get up at 6 a.m. to practice.

(Back then, I could sleep beyond 4 in the morning.)

My constant companion was a bottle of Sea & Ski “suntan lotion.” I still remember the ubiquitous green bottle with the orange lid. And the signature smell!

Superior to that Coppertone stuff in the brown tube, Sea & Ski’s fragrance meant summer to me. As did the tube of zinc oxide my mother kept handy to spread on my nose.

I was — and still am — a freckly, fair-skinned specimen with blue eyes and blond hair, although the hair is more silver than gold these days. Remember all those “Know the skin you’re in” quizzes in Teen magazine?

I fell solidly in the “Burns easily/Never tans” category.

But, rather than accepting that information as my alabaster lot in life, I took it as a challenge.

“Someday,” I’d say, gazing at a bronze Christie Brinkley on the cover of Sports Illustrated, “I’ll have a sexy tan, too.”

By the ’70s, adolescence and unabashed sun worshipping were in full swing. Sea & Ski was cast aside for Hawaiian Tropic, Bain de Soleil and the low-dollar Crisco oil. Can openers, penny diving and Marco Polo were replaced by baking in the sun like chicken on a spit.

“Let’s lay out,” my friend Susie would say, and off we’d motor to the pool to spread Coors beach towels on deck and just lie.

scene — a funeral reception — in her living room.

George, the family dog, has already been featured in the movie four times.

“We knew when we moved in a year ago that part of ‘The Day After’ was filmed in this house,” Kendra says, referring to the notorious 1983 TV movie about a nuclear attack on the U.S., “but we had no idea that anyone would shoot here again.”

Lawrence flavor Everything about the production of “The Sublime and Beautiful” has come together through an amazing amount of cooperation with the Lawrence community. The Kuhlmans share a real estate agent with Kirk, who suggested their home might be a perfect place to shoot.

The family said “sure,” and two weeks later, filming was under way.

The convenience and the great locations Lawrence has to offer make the city a great place to film, especially on a tight budget.

“One day we went from Java Break to the Dynamite (Saloon) to Terrebonne to The Dusty Bookshelf to Henry’s — you can’t do that in a lot of places,” Robbins says.

“That day, The Eldridge let us stage all of our people down in their basement and we would just take sound and camera and a few actors and go to each location, then go back to The Eldridge and strategize the next location and go shoot it. How many towns in America can I get all those types of locations and be moving through a 10-page day?”

More than anything, however, Lawrence has a lot of talented filmmakers and a base of people who are willing to work hard.

Outside of the cinematographer, the sound team, and six actors, everybody working on “The Sublime and Beautiful” is based in the area. That means around 20 speaking parts for local actors and plenty of crew jobs. Robbins even rented his cameras and equipment from Lawrence production house Through a Glass, which also became producing partners.

Movie’s origins The genesis of the film began eight years ago when Robbins originally wrote the first draft of the script with himself in mind for the lead role.

Before that, he had apprenticed with friend Rob Morrow as he directed a 2000 feature called “Maze,” but Robbins didn’t make the decision to direct his script until about two years ago.

“As I started to hold a vision for myself as a director, I was like, ‘Well, if I don’t direct a movie that I wrote that I’m playing the

when the heat became too much to bear. No swimming, no games. Maybe an underwater handstand or two, then it was time to lie some more.

“We’re missing valuable sun time!” Susie would say.

This behavior resulted, of course, in countless sunburns, an explosion of freckles and, unfortunately, no real tans. Severe burns (of which there were several every year) would produce blisters, then excessive exfoliation.

Susie and I spent our après sol hours peeling sheets of loose skin off each other’s backs. We were so into it, it was hard to stop, even when we ran out of dead skin.

(Sorry. I just realized some of you are eating breakfast.)

I won’t even mention the pre-prom sunlamp di-

Along with Kirk, Robbins co-starred in the 2008 Kansas-based movies “The Battle for Bunker Hill” and “The Only Good Indian,” both directed by KU film professor Kevin Willmott — and those relationships were essential in getting “The Sublime and Beautiful” off the ground.

“Blake’s been relentless trying to move forward with this film, and that’s really what it takes. You have to have that ‘do or die’ attitude,” says Willmott, who is an executive producer on this movie.

“I think it’s a great vehicle for him. He created a project that was designed to be done here and that’s always very smart when you’re trying to make an independent film — really trying to utilize those things that we have around us.”

Recently Kirk was a co-producer and actress in director Chris Ordal’s feature “Earthwork,” also shot in the area, and she and Willmott have plenty of upcoming projects in the pipeline. Between takes at the Kuhlman house, the two talk about their vision for Lawrence’s filmmaking future: Willmott says, “I’ve always admired how Woody Allen—” “… and the Coen brothers …” Kirk breaks in.

“… work with a closeknit group of people,” he continues. “We’re sort of the low-rent version of that,” Willmott says laughing.

It’s a self-deprecating joke that matches the nononsense mentality of everyone working on “The Sublime and Beautiful,” but Robbins says there’s nothing low-rent about the footage they have captured so far.

The director says he’s fallen in love with this area and is thrilled with how the movie is turning out.

“Cinematically, Lawrence is gorgeous,” he says. “Lawrence in the winter is just gold. We just wanted a real town with real lighting and real circumstances.”

As the crew sets up the Kuhlmans’ living room for the next shot, Robbins catches one of those real moments. The kids are being rambunctious, playing around in the toy room, and cinematographer Lyn Moncrief points the camera their way. They’re not paying attention at all, but every adult on the set knows what’s happening and immediately gets very quiet.

Nobody calls “action,” but the camera is rolling.

This cut-in will no doubt prove to be a counterpoint to the main action of the funeral reception, where the adults sit around in a somber mood. The children, oblivious to the protocol of such an affair, are

sasters. I’m sure many of you have your own horror stories to tell. Suffice it to say, none of my prom pics made it into the photo album.

Today, I am paying for the skin sins of my youth.

On Friday, I completed a three-week course of Efudex, a topical chemotherapy cream designed to nip skin cancer in the bud. My forehead currently resembles a pepperoni pizza with a profusion of lesions, 30 or more AK’s (actinic keratosis) that, if left alone, could devolve into something very dangerous, sooner than later.

Don’t feel sorry for me.

I’m coping. A new hairdo with heavy bangs and a wide assortment of hats have obscured the carnage from the world. The stinging and itching isn’t pleasant, but the pain is nothing compared with the burns of my past. (Did I mention not one, but two cases of acute sun poisoning?)

I’m grateful there is effective prophylactic treat-

ment. But I know there is more pepperoni in my future.

I share my disgusting story to drive home a message, especially as college kids flock to tanning salons before spring break: Protect your skin. Wear sunscreen every day. Embrace the alabaster. And, if you can’t, choose the fake bake. Self-tanning products are great these days.

Please, spread the word to everyone you know.

Call your kids. Call your grandkids.

And, while you’re doing that, I’m going to call Susie.

bouncing off the walls.

Minutes later, Robbins silently signals. A sound guy yells “Cut!” and a big smile crosses the director’s face.

It’s the last day of principal photography — barring one final sunrise shot — and Robbins is already reflective. He had a moment just before shooting began that he says he’ll never forget.

“I was driving through that thoroughly Kansas countryside and it just occurred to me that not many people get to be at the precipice of watching their dream come true and have that heightened awareness that, for better or worse, when my story’s over, at least I can look back and say, ‘Wow, I got to stand in the middle of my dream coming true,’” he says. “That is enough for me. The film just turned out to be the cherry on top.”

enables you to capture the movement of your daughter playing soccer, but if a shutter speed is too slow it can blur a portrait of your sleeping dog in low light.

For these reasons, with P&S cameras, I recommend setting cameras to “S” to give you control over shutter speed and adjust to slower or faster shutter speeds as light and subject change. In “S”, shutter-priority mode, the camera will automatically select an appropriate aperture, based on your shutter speed choice, to determine a correct exposure.

If you shoot with a 35mm single-lens reflex camera, which has a larger sensor size, the aperture can have a greater effect on the look of your photographs — something known as “depth of field” (DOF).

Depth of field represents an area of your image, in front of and beyond your point of focus, that will also remain in focus.

Professional photographers use different apertures to make creative use of DOF. On all cameras, if you are selecting apertures by menu or dial, you see

numbers like this: f2.8, f4.0, f16. These numbers, also called f/stops, represent different-sized apertures. Simply put, the larger this number, the greater your depth of field — f11.0 would give you greater depth of field than f2.8.

However — and this is a little confusing — the larger an f/stop number, the smaller the aperture.

While numerically f/22 is larger than f/8, these numbers represent fractions like 1/22 and 1/8, and therefore the confusion.

Here is what’s important to keep in mind. !" Larger f/stop numbers (f16, f22) equal smaller apertures, which can create greater depth of field. If you or your camera selects a large f/stop, there is typically lots of available light or you are taking very long shutter speed exposures. !" Smaller f/stop numbers (f2.8, f4) equal larger apertures, which means less depth of field.

If you or your camera are selecting small f/stops, there is probably very little available light or you are using very fast shutter speeds.

I’ll continue this subject next week and show how to make effective use of your aperture for creative results.

A poet’s ‘Last Holiday’ Renowned jazz artist attempts to finally break through isolation

“The Last Holiday: A Memoir” by Gil ScottHeron is a sad book. And not just because ScottHeron — syncopated jazzpoet and political agitator, astute and empathetic chronicler of the AfricanAmerican experience, and, whether he liked it or not, godfather of rap — died in May at 62 after sacrificing the last years of his life to crack cocaine addiction.

The griot best known for “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” and “The Bottle” writes in his prologue that the book’s “central focus ... revolves around experiences orchestrated by Stevie Wonder, a true miracle of talent and concern for his fellow man.”

That sentence turns out to be doubly troubling because it hints at the odd, almost starstruck and uncritical way musical movers and shakers will be depicted in the book — whether Wonder, music executive Clive Davis, or even Jackson Browne, who organized the 1979 Musicians United for Safe Energy “No Nukes” concerts where Scott-Heron performed.

And it also turns out to be untrue, because despite his intentions to write a book principally about the experiences with Wonder that so mightily impressed him, Scott-Heron never manages to do that. The book is really a conventional coming-of-age autobiography.

“The Last Holiday” of the title is Martin Luther King Day, the national holiday that Stevie Wonder campaigned to help establish.

Scott-Heron, who was honored posthumously with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy ceremonies in Los Angeles last Sunday night, was an opening act on Wonder’s tour for “Hotter Than July,” his 1980 album that included “Happy Birthday,” his hit that called for the establishment of a King holiday. The tour included a Jan. 15, 1981, concert on the National Mall in Washington, where King gave his “I Have a

engaged quality to much of his writing here.

On top of that, the harrowing realities of the last years of his life — Heron spent much of his last decade in prison on drugrelated charges before releasing one last brief but remarkable album, “I’m New Here,” in 2010 — are barely alluded to and never really addressed.

His failings are dealt with in a cursory fashion — as if it were too painful to take a hard, unsparing look. “I have not been proud of everything that has happened or I have done throughout my life,” he writes in a prologue before going on to not discuss those things, failing to display the acuity that marked him as a great artist. “The mistakes have been due to my own poor judgment both of people and circumstance.”

Scott-Heron talks about writing “The Bottle,” and his need to get inside the life stories of the alcoholics he met on the streets of Washington. “Alcoholism and drug addiction were both illnesses but people really only saw the condition and not the illness, so that’s why I wrote the lyric from a stark point of reality. I always liked to give a very personal and constructive view point to whatever it was I was writing about.”

When it comes to stark reality, unfortunately, the viewpoint that’s missing in “The Last Holiday,” for the most part, is Scott-Heron’s own.

Rather than confront the demons that must have been eating away at him — the ones he sang about in his cover of Robert Johnson’s “Me and the Devil” on “I’m New Here” — he opts for avoidance and a relatively painless run-though of his life and times.

When his mother dies in 1999, “The Last Holiday” finally takes an unflinching look in the mirror. And Scott-Heron doesn’t like what he sees: “I was repulsed by my lifelong insistence on ... isolation,” he writes. “Some of it has been justified by a real fear of the consequences awaiting those who befriended me and drew close, tried to settle within an umbrella’s ceiling of cover.”

“The Last Holiday” offered Scott-Heron one last chance to connect, from beyond the grave, as it were. But still, he keeps us at a distance.

NEW YORK (AP) — Against the apparent wishes of the author, a new Lemony Snicket series begins this fall.

Little Brown Books for Young Readers announced Wednesday that “Who Could That Be At This Hour?” will be out in October. It’s the first of four volumes of the “All the Wrong Questions” series, a “highly autobiographical account” of Snicket’s childhood.

In keeping with a running gag that Snicket — the pen name for series author Daniel Handler — discourages people from reading his books, Little Brown also shared with reporters an email purporting to be from him.

The “Snicketemail” asks Little Brown to postpone its announcement.

Although Little Brown plans to print 1 million copies, “Snicket” wonders in the email “why anyone would be interested” in the new series.

Rohr Prize given for Jewish lit NEW YORK (AP) — The author of a history of Jews in the Soviet Union has won a $100,000 award.

The Jewish Book Council announced Wednesday that Gal Beckerman’s “When They Come for Us We’ll Be Gone” has won the 2012 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. It was Beckerman’s first book.

The Rohr prize honors “an author’s potential to make significant contributions to Jewish literature.” This year’s runner-up was Abigail Green’s “Moses Montefiore.” Green will receive $25,000.

The Rohr prize was founded in 2007.

Cirque du Festival to feature movies of the strong, silent type Soleil plans —————

Event hopes to capitalize on awards season successes of ‘Hugo,’ ‘The Artist’

By Eric Melin

2012 may go down in history as the year that silent films made a comeback. The two movies with the most nominations this year at the Academy Awards — and the best chance to take home the Best Picture statue — are both tributes to silent cinema.

“The Artist” is an actual silent movie — a blackand-white French production filmed in Hollywood — about a silent-film star (Jean Dujardin, also nominated for Best Actor) who finds it tough to make the transition to sound films, or “talkies.” “Hugo” is a grand 3-D spectacle directed by Martin Scorsese about a young boy who discovers silent-film pioneer Georges Méliès selling toys in a Paris train station.

It is fitting then that the 16th Annual Kansas Silent Film Festival at Washburn University in Topeka is showing several of Méliès short films, including a restored, hand-colored print of his most famous work, “A Trip to the Moon.”

“If people loved ‘The Artist’ or ‘Hugo,’ this is the year to come see the real deal,” says film historian and event hostess Denise Morrison. “I find that the uninitiated tend to be surprised at how approachable silent films are. Also, since we’re a free event you can try it out. If you’re a big fan of current films, see how it all started.”

The 16th Annual Kansas Silent Film Festival, held this year Feb. 24 and 25 at Washburn’s White Concert Hall, is a nonprofit event made possible by generous donations and the volunteer work of scores of dedicated si-

Special to the Journal-World

IN THIS PHOTO COURTESY OF THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY, Jean Dujardin as George Valentin and Berenice Bejo as Peppy Miller are seen in this image from Michel Hazanavicius’s film “The Artist.” Kansas Silent Film Festival organizers hope that the success of “The Artist” will pique the interest of fans of that film and get them curious about seeing other silent films.

KANSAS SILENT FILM FESTIVAL What: The 16th Annual Kansas Silent Film Festival When: Friday and Saturday Where: White Concert Hall, Washburn University campus, 17th and Jewell, Topeka Cost: Free lent-film fans in the area.

This year, organizers are excited about the prospect of attracting curious newcomers thanks to the commercial and critical success of the high-profile Oscar nominees.

Theatergoers who enjoyed “The Artist” saw one of silent movies’ biggest myths debunked right before their eyes: Silent films are anything but silent. The festival

will provide live piano and organ accompaniment for the shorts and full-length screenings, and the world-class Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra — a five-piece ensemble that tours the country performing live music scores to silent films — will accompany at least three movies at the festival.

“Film with live music is something everyone should experience,” says theater organist Marvin Faulwell. “I want viewers to realize how easy it is to get lost in the film and [experience] how the mind will fill in all the missing sounds.”

Faulwell has been with the Kansas Silent Film Festival since its inception and has accompanied 130 films over the years.

This year, he will be playing live along with two full-length silent films: The 1926 romantic comedy “The Clinging Vine”

starring Leatrice Joy, an actress who was an inspiration to a young Katharine Hepburn; and “Monte Cristo,” a 1922 adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic adventure novel “The Count of Monte Cristo,” starring a swashbuckling John Gilbert.

Many luminaries of the silent-film world have made personal appearances over the years. Devoted fans of the era are known to travel far and wide to attend festivals and meet the people who created them.

Carol Yoho, publicity committee chair of the Kansas Silent Film Festival, says her love of silent cinema has led her to meet several talented filmmakers over the years. In her travels, she has spoken with legendary French director Abel Gance, whose epic silent film “Napoleon” has a final reel presented on three screens si-

multaneously, and Lillian Gish, arguably the most recognizable actress from the silent era.

Like all the volunteers, Yoho, who maintains the organization’s website and Facebook page, is involved in the festival out of a deep respect and love for the films themselves.

One man who has made a living out of his love for silent cinema, however, is Oscar-winning historian and documentary filmmaker Kevin Brownlow.

“I’ve met him in London twice,” Yoho says. “We originally met for coffee at a shop near his office at Thames Television. On another trip I got a personal tour of his studio, Photoplay Productions. Kevin also attended the 1999 Buster Keaton Celebration in Iola, Kan., where I got to chat with him a third time.

There, he signed my copies of his many books about silent film — books I couldn’t drag along on the London trips.”

Silent movies continue to inspire filmgoers with vibrant storytelling, rich characters, and worlds as fully realized and compelling as anything you can see in theaters today.

Morrison, who will introduce each program and give the audience a little background on the films at the Kansas Silent Film Festival, is excited about the prospect of drawing in new crowds and filmgoers of all ages.

“This is a good year. Because of ‘Hugo’ and ‘The Artist,’ I hope to see a lot of newbies to silent film and we have the perfect program for them — lots of Georges Méliès, adventure, comedy, and melodrama,” she says. “We have a really good mix of films to hit everybody’s favorite genres.”

Can faith be all-consuming?

God’s love is encompassing but not overwhelming The Rev. Paul Gray, senior pastor, New Life in Christ, 619 Vt.: It depends who or what your faith is in.

Jesus Christ gives us his own faith. His faith knows that God is love (1 John 4:8,16). That’s his DNA. His love is agape-love, meaning it always does what’s best for the other person (although we don’t always understand that).

His love is unconditional — meaning we can’t earn it, lose it, increase or decrease it. His love is forever. His love encompasses who he is — starting with grace and truth. By his grace, he has already forgiven all the sins of the world — everyone!

And he made the irrevocable decision to take them completely away, never think about them, and Gray not hold them against anybody. He calls that Good News!

God loved us so much before he even created us, that he chose us to be in relationship with him (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) forever, so he can lavish his love, grace, joy, peace, and much more on us 24/7, 366 — forever.

So, being in a personal, supernatural relationship with a God like this who

makes it clear in his love letter to me that he loves me with his kind of love, it’s almost comical to think that “faith in him” could be anything other than all-consuming!

Does that mean I stand on the corner and preach or that every sentence I utter includes “Praise God!”? No! It does mean I enjoy his presence as I drive, shop, play jazz music for a dance at the American Legion on Thursday evenings, watch the ’Hawks, hang out with old friends, shovel snow, celebrate good times and everything else!

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ljworld.com.

All-consuming faith can be detrimental The Rev. Gary Teske, pastor, Trinity Lutheran Church, 1245 N.H.: In one sense, one’s faith should be all-consuming.

In the scriptures (Matthew 5:13-14 and Luke 13:21), God’s people are called to be “salt,” “light” and “yeast.” Salt is meant to be mixed in with all the ingredients of a food dish to make it taste good and yeast is meant to be kneaded in with all other ingredients of a loaf of bread in order to make it turn out right. And, of course, unless one is using a laser, light floods out from its source, illuminating not just certain things but everything that is near it, revealing danger and delight, the ugly and the beautiful.

I believe God seeks to make the entirety of our

lives to be a blessing to the entirety of the world.

I would hope that faithful p e o p l e would be Teske consumed with the work of “doing justice, loving kindness and walking humbly before God” (Micah 6). I would hope that people of faith would strive to “love thy neighbor as one’s self” (Mark 12) with their whole being, while praying or playing, when teaching Sunday school or public school.

However, understood differently, an “all-consuming faith” can be a bad thing. It can mean

that people are so focused on “consuming” only that which is explicitly religious that they fail to see and savor the signs of God’s goodness and activity in what they would regard as the “secular” realm. It can reflect a prejudice against all things that do not bear the proper religious label and be an impediment to responding to God’s call to love the “world.”

In that case, an all-consuming faith can be like eating pure salt, consuming the leaven without the bread, or being so blinded by the light that they stumble through the world causing great harm to themselves and to others.

MEMBERS OF THE ST. LUKE AME CHURCH CHOIR rehearse “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” in this 2009 file photo. The choir will participate in Musicfest 2012 today at First Baptist Church to benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Choirs team up for Habitat for Humanity

By Michael C. Auchard

Over the past 21 years, Habitat for Humanity has built nearly 80 homes in Lawrence. Today, the organization is planning to show it can not only build but also bond a community.

At Habitat for Humanity’s Musicfest 2012, 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 1330 Kasold, choirs from seven local churches will sing in an effort to both raise awareness for Habitat for Humanity’s home-building projects and to provide an opportunity for the community to indulge in choral music.

The event will feature about 100 singers performing mostly choral arrangements, says Laura McCorkill, Choir Director for First Baptist Church. There will be a variety of types of music within the choral genre. But one exception will be the Celtic instrumental Group Dorian’s Wheel, which will be performing “Amazing Grace” on traditional instruments.

“Pretty much everything that is going to be performed is meant to be choral literature,” she says. “We’ll also have some churches that will have keyboards and guitars and that sort of thing as well. I think there’s going to be a wide variety of styles within the choral music.”

McCorkill says that for her, as a parishioner, sup-

porting Habitat for Humanity and other charitable causes makes sense.

“This is one of our missions as what we do as a church,” she says. “It’s an extremely important facet of being a church – the outreach into the community.”

Tracie Howell, executive director for Lawrence’s Habitat for Humanity chapter, says the event is first and foremost an opportunity for people to get together and listen to good music. While the event is free, Howell encourages people to pass the hard hat, so to speak.

“One of the largest portions of where our funders come from are our covenant churches,” Howell says. “It’s a great time for them to celebrate, so they’ve started gathering together and through music they get that opportunity. …They don’t push it out there to raise money; it’s more of a time to come together and celebrate.”

Howell says Habitat for Humanity’s mission is more important than ever because of a recession that has seen millions of Americans lose their jobs and homes.

“We have seen our number of applicants probably over triple in the past few years,” she says.

“We’re seeing so many people who’ve had foreclosures or have lost their jobs coming to us and looking for some relief effort through housing.”

to perform at Oscars

By Sandy Cohen Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Aerialists, acrobats and contortionists are among the guests at this year’s Academy Awards.

Telecast producers Don Mischer and Brian Grazer say they’ve invited Cirque do Soleil to perform during the Oscar show.

The three-minute performance will be among the international troupe’s biggest yet, said Cirque du Soleil special events director Yasmine Khalil, featuring more than 50 artists. Most Cirque shows employ 75 to 80 artists over two hours, she said.

Cirque du Soleil has a show in residence at the Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars will be presented on Feb. 26, but the performance planned for the awards telecast is “unique for this one evening” and not taken from any of the troupe’s 22 productions playing around the world.

Performers from those shows, however, are heading to Hollywood. Khalil says artists from Japan and Russia are flying in to participate in the Academy Awards segment.

Khalil wouldn’t reveal any specifics about the performance other than to say “the theme is very much in line with paying tribute to the movietheater experience” and different from “Iris,” Cirque’s regular show at the Kodak Theater, which is billed as “a journey into the world of cinema.”

Like “Iris,” the music for the troupe’s Oscar performance was composed

by Danny Elfman.

Cirque du Soleil troupes were reluctant to perform on television in years past “because we felt as though a lot of it got lost in translation,” Khalil said, but they appreciated the way their performance came across when they participated in the 74th Academy Awards.

“That boosted our confidence knowing that we’re comfortable in front of the camera,” she said.

Khalil and the performers have been working on their routine since before Christmas, and they’re eager to get into the Kodak and try it out on the Oscar stage for the various camera operators shooting the show.

“To capture 50 people jumping around everywhere from the ceiling and from the ground and right and left and center, it’s a whole added challenge,” she said.

That challenge extends to the viewers, too.

“They should be very attentive. There will be a lot happening,” she said. “You don’t want to be blinking too much because you might miss something.”

STAN RING, HORTICULTURE PROGRAM ASSISTANT at the Douglas County Extension office, talks to Horticulture Camp attendees about how to compost in this July 2009 file photo.

Composting turns kitchen scraps and yard waste into a rich soil enhancer.

Waste not, want not: Tips for composting C

omposting almost sounds like a too-goodto-be-true gimmick, but the rumors are true. You really can turn your leaves and kitchen scraps into fertilizer, use weeds and grass clippings to loosen heavy clay soils, and make potting mix from materials in your own yard.

Compost is easy to make, too, even for beginning gardeners. Use of a bin might require a small initial investment, but the value of what is produced soon outweighs the expense. Composting also requires a minimal amount of time and effort on your part.

Ready to get started?

First, decide where you want to compost. A good location for a compost pile or bin might be an out-of-the-way corner of the yard or simply a place where the pile can be easily accessed. Apartment dwellers and adventurous composters might make compost in their homes with the help of a worm bin.

Once you have a location, think about whether you want to use a bin or simply a loose pile. Composting materials are less likely to blow away and will typically stay more condensed in a bin, but bins are not required to complete the process.

If you want to use a bin, you can purchase one at a garden center or build your own. Bins are easily made using wood slat fencing, woven wire, cement blocks, and/or scrap lumber. Examples of common structures are available in the Kansas State University publication “Making and Using Compost at Home,” available online or at the K-State Research and Extension — Douglas County office, 2110

DO’S AND DON’TS

Garden Calendar

Home compost piles and bins have some limitations – commercial and municipal compost producers can compost some things we cannot because of the processes used and the degree of heat reached in largescale composting.

To make the best possible product in your home composting system, stick to the following:

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Harper St., Lawrence.

Lawrence residents receiving residential trash service also have the option of purchasing a bin at a reduced rate through the city’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Division. Bins that typically retail for $60-$100 are offered for $40 through this program.

A limited number of bins are available, and interested residents should contact the city at 832-3030.

As soon as you have a bin (or have decided not to use one) and a spot picked out, you are ready to get started.

Start with two to three inches of soil or sand in the bottom, then add leaves, stems and foliage from garden plants, weeds, grass clippings, etc. in a two- to eight-inch layer. Make layers thinner for fine materials and thicker for coarse materials.

Add another two to three inches of soil or sand, and then add more plant materials. Keep layering in this manner until you run out of materials to compost or run out of space.

The rest of composting is really about patience. If you do nothing at all to the pile after building it, you will still get compost. Also, overwork-

Materials to add to the compost pile:

THIS THREE-BIN SYSTEM is behind the Extension office at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Compost piles can be open-air or processed in a container. BELOW, the city of Lawrence sells the Earth Machine Backyard Composter, left, for $40, and a kitchen pail to store food scraps for $10.

Leaves Grass clippings Weeds Garden refuse Hedge clippings Straw and hay Corncobs Sawdust (from untreated wood) Mulch Cold wood ashes Kitchen scraps from fruits and vegetables Coffee grounds Egg shells (may take longer to break down than other materials)

Materials to keep out of the compost pile:

ing the compost pile can kill the process with kindness, so I recommend just leaving it alone most of the time.

You can continue adding fresh materials to the top of the pile, or start a second pile or bin.

Following these steps should get you compost in four to six months. To speed the process, you can add fertilizer (one to two cups per square yard of materials), “turn” the pile, and water over extended dry periods.

The end product, compost,

should be dark, moist, and crumbly and have an earthy odor. Compost is less fine than soil, but the plant materials it is made from should not be recognizable in it, either.

The most common problems with composting are too much or too little air and water in the pile. If the pile becomes too tightly compacted, loosen it with a shovel or fork.

If the pile is too loose, add soil or finer materials to condense it. Dry compost should be watered, and saturated compost should be allowed to dry out.

Pet waste Meat scraps and bones Milk products Diseased plants Weed that can re-sprout from roots, such as poison ivy and bermudagrass Chemically-treated wood and sawdust from it

Occasionally compost that is too wet or contains a lot of green material can develop an ammonia odor. Separate green materials in the pile and avoid overwatering.

Kovel’s Antiques: Pre-photography likenesses not always correct

By Terry Kovel

CAN YOU RECOGNIZE GEORGE WASHINGTON? This Staffordshire bust made in England in the 19th century does not look much like the oil paintings made when Washington was alive. This type of figure sold well until the 1850s. Price: $240 at a 2011 Neal Auction in New Orleans.

Presidents Day, still officially named George Washington’s Birthday, is celebrated on the third Monday in February. But it has not always been celebrated on that day. George Washington’s birthday, Feb. 22, was first celebrated as a federal holiday in 1880. It was moved to the third Monday in February in 1971 as part of a law that made many holidays fall on Mondays so Americans could enjoy a long weekend. In 1951 there had been an attempt to change the holiday to Presidents Day to honor all presidents, not just George Washington, but for years there were arguments about when to

schedule it, what to name it and whom to honor.

In the mid-1980s, the use of the term “Presidents Day” instead of “Washington’s Birthday” spread across the country, spurred by stores that advertised sales. While some states honor various presidents, usually those from the state, on the holiday, George Washington is part of all of the celebrations.

When Washington died, the public bought Staffordshire figurines picturing him, textiles with pictures of him ascending to heaven and many memorial medals and plates. Photographs did not exist, so these souvenirs, along with oil paintings, show how he looked.

Many of the souvenirs are

inaccurate representations of Washington, but they’re of interest to collectors today.

I have two matching framed prints, one with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and one with a portrait of George Washington. The first one has a small metal plaque that says “Abraham Lincoln by George P.A. Healy — The White House Collection from The President and Mrs. Nixon — Christmas 1971.” The George Washington print has a similar plaque and is dated Christmas 1969. Do you know anything about these?

President Richard Nixon and his wife gave prints of famous presidential

portraits to White House staff members as Christmas gifts each year he was in office. Each print was in a red presentation folder and included a parchment sheet with an explanation of the portrait, a ribbon and an embossed presidential seal. Hallmark made 3,500 copies of Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Washington for the 1969 gift. A print of Jefferson’s portrait was given in 1970, Lincoln in 1971, Theodore Roosevelt in 1972 and James Monroe in 1973.

I own a glass plate that belonged to my grandmother, who was born in 1885. It is decorated with an embossed figure of President William McKin-

ley, showing his birth date on the left side above his elbow and his death date on the right side. At the top of the plate it reads, “It is God’s way,” and on the bottom, “His will be done.” There is no name of a company to identify who made this.

William McKinley was elected president in 1899.

He was shot by an anarchist, Leon Czolgosz, while he was visiting the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y., on Sept.

6, 1901. McKinley died the next week, on Sept. 14.

His last words were: “It is God’s way. His will be done.” Your pressed glass plate was made in 1901, but its manufacturer is unknown. Value: $50.

In his first two TV hits, “The Office” and “Extras,” Ricky Gervais channeled his peculiar brand of awkwardness into characters David Brent and Andy Millman, respectively. Now in “Life’s Too Short” (9:30 p.m., HBO), Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant play themselves and allow the actor Warwick Davis (“Willow”) to utter all of the painful Gervais-like lines.

Davis describes himself as the British movie industry’s “goto little person.” Or at least he was.

This odd comedy (don’t dare call it “small”) centers around his has-been status, his ruined marriage and his increasingly pathetic efforts to either stage a comeback, or discover the next big thing among little people through his talent agency “Dwarves for Hire.” Filled with cruel and obvious sight gags, “Short” begs for the audience to be offended and laugh at its own thin skin.

Speaking of has-beens clamoring for a comeback, “Celebrity Apprentice” (8 p.m. Sunday, NBC) collects 18 notables whose appropriateness for these shenanigans range from “It figures” to “Has it come to this?”

Only a handful come from the pre-reality TV era, most notably “Star Trek” regular George Takei, ’70s supermodel Cheryl Tiegs and once-promising talk show host Arsenio Hall. Clay Aiken is probably the most surprising choice, furthest from his comfort zone.

Christmas arrives with drama for Mr. Bates as well as Matthew and Mary on the second season finale of “Downton Abbey” on “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Fans of these acclaimed British dramas can mark their calendars for the arrival of “Great Expectations” on April 1.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): retraining the unemployed, Norway’s young chess master.

“The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS) returns for a 20th season.

Homer and Marge live off the grid and like it on the 500th episode of “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox).

The stakes get higher on “Luck” (8 p.m., HBO).

What else can I do?

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Feb. 19: You have a tendency to keep many of your opinions to yourself. You also might want a lot of time alone. Do be careful with your finances. Money could run through your fingers. If you are single, you will need someone quite diverse and independent to be able to swing with your moods. If you are attached, you realize that a loved one might be having trouble adjusting to your new self.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Surround yourself with friends, and enjoy each of them.

Be direct in how you deal with a particularly difficult person. Tonight: Going to the wee hours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might desire to play it low-key, but somehow you get tossed into the spotlight. You might need to head into work or spend some time with an elderly person in your life.

Tonight: Surrounded by caring people.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Reach out for someone at a distance. If this person isn’t too far, you might opt to meet each other halfway. Tonight: Opt for a different invitation.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Deal with someone directly who you care about. You might be surprised by how responsive he or she might be. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Others come forward.

Whether by phone, text or in person, you seem to receive invitation after invitation. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to slow

down in the afternoon, after an active morning of touching base with those at a distance. A partner or loved one surprises you. Tonight: Think “Monday.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might think you are too tired, but events prove otherwise. Whether you are enjoying a child or off with a new friend, you re-energize and are all smiles.

Tonight: So what if it is Sunday?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want some time off from your routine, work and friends. Take today and make it yours. Tonight: Be a couch potato.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Saying what you mean does not necessarily cause hurt feelings. Be responsible, claim your side of an issue and judge others less. Tonight: Hanging out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sometimes you get quite possessive over a loved one. If you are single, you might try to lose some of that trait and discover that a very exciting rapport develops between the two of you. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You wake up wondering why you have made such a big deal about getting together with a friend.

Make a phone call and offer a surprise invitation. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might surprise yourself by what you say or by a gesture you make. Take some time off from your friends and make this day for you. Tonight: Not far.

tion to be held hostage to the destructive behavior of someone who refuses to get help.

Dear Annie: My daughter-in-law says if food is on the floor for three seconds or less, it is OK for her 4-year-old son to eat it.

At my house, I insist that he wash his hands before eating, and when I can, I clean his fingernails with a small brush and soap because his nails are always filthy.

At his own house, however, he never washes his hands before meals.

Should I say something?
