KU avenges loss, wins Big 12 again

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY , M O . — Bill Self watched with pride as his Kansas University basketball players, the ones wearing blue Big 12 championship T-shirts and gray caps, climbed atop a ladder and snipped the nets on Saturday night in Sprint Center.

The team that wasn’t allowed to celebrate its regular-season title made up for lost time after a resounding 85-73 victory over Texas, giving the Jayhawks five league tourney titles in the last six years.

“We’ve had some good ones ... that one was pretty good,” Self said of victories in a 32-2 season.

“Our guys were so focused.

We played with so much energy.

They were ready for this game. I told them, ‘You guys are the ones who said you wanted Texas. Now you have to back up your talk today.’’’

Self, who is about as demanding a coach as there is in the country, said something kinder and gentler to the Jayhawks before they went out and avenged a 74-63 home loss to the Longhorns on Jan. 22 in Allen Fieldhouse.

“I told them I woke up today, sun is shining, new day is dawning, ‘It’s going to be a great day.

We’re going to have more fun than we’ve had in a long time, that kind of stuff,’’’ Self said. “It does get old hearing over and over (from him) how we can do things better.

“I was pleased. They are great kids. They try hard. Our focus was off the charts today.”

After storming to a 48-33 halftime edge and never really being threatened on a day the lead dipped to eight points in the second half, the Jayhawks let the world know they were indeed capable of celebrating.

Marcus Morris (17 points, six boards), who fed brother Markieff (14 points, nine boards) for a vicious dunk with 1:11 left, shook his head from side to side while grinning and pulling his jersey out for the pro-KU crowd of 18,940 fans to see.

After dribbling out the clock, Marcus put one index finger to KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR (10) SOARS his nose and mouth, in sort of a in for a jam before Texas forward Jordan Hamilton. Taylor returned to the starting lineup Please see KANSAS, page 4A and scored a team-high 20 points.

Self’s handling of Taylor genius KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University basketball coach/psychologist for young male adults Bill Self has had one of the quickest guards in America on his team the past three years, so quick, in fact, that it seems at times about the only one who can get in front of him to stop him from getting where he wants to go is Tyshawn Taylor himself.

Self had tried just about everything to get the easily distracted Taylor to keep his mind locked on self-improvement for the benefit of the team. Everything, that is, but ripping his starting job from him and telling the world with conviction that Elijah Johnson was his new point guard.

So he tried that one. So far, so brilliant.

That ploy would only work if Johnson played well enough to create a point-guard competition. Johnson obliged by exceeding everyone’s defensive expectations and bringing a calmness to the team at the other end.

All the while, Self knew where he wanted it all to end up, and just in time for the NCAA Tournament Kansas will enter as a No. 1 seed with a 32-2 record, he has the shakiest position on the team in better hands than at any point this year.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Taylor played a big game in helping Kansas to get past Colorado in the semifinals and played the game of his career in leading his team to an 85-73 payback of Texas to the delight of a capacity Sprint Center crowd Saturday in the Big 12 title game.

Making like Usain Bolt with a basketball bouncing at his side, Taylor zipped his way to 20 points, four rebounds, five assists and a steal in 37 minutes in his first starting assignment since before his late-season, two-game suspension for violating a team rule.

Taylor didn’t try to deny losing his starting job helped hone his focus.

“Oh, for sure,” Taylor said.

“I’ve been starting for a while, since I was a freshman here.

And I love starting. Who wouldn’t?”

Chiefs owner confident there’ll be 2011 season KANSAS CITY MO. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said Saturday he is confident there will be an NFL season in 2011 and that the Chiefs will be in better position to weather a long work stoppage than some other teams.

Hunt was involved in much of the negotiations last week that finally broke down when the NFL Players Association moved to decertify and then filed an

antitrust suit against the league.

Hunt told the Associated Press the Chiefs will benefit from Todd Haley having two years to get his program in place and develop continuity on his staff. Hunt said the league has not focused on the possibility of using replacement players, as it did in the 1987 players strike.

“I do think the work stoppage is

going to have an adverse impact on NFL teams,” Hunt said. “I personally believe that teams that changed head coaches this offseason will have a very difficult time getting ready to play football in 2011 because they’re likely to lose some or all the (offseason practices) that teams typically have the benefit of.”

The Chiefs, in Haley’s second season, made a major break-

NATIONAL BRIEFS Royals rout Dodgers split-squad SURPRISE, ARIZ. — For Ted Lilly, the only good thing was another outing in a couple days.

Lilly was hit hard as a Los Angeles Dodgers split-squad lost, 19-7, to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.

Alex Gordon homered and drove in six runs for Kansas City, which finished with 20 hits.

Melky Cabrera went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs while raising his Cactus Leagueleading batting average to .518.

Lilly allowed six runs and five hits in 22⁄3 innings. He struck out two and walked two.

NFL Lockout puts league on hold NEW YORK — Welcome to The NFL Lockout.

As far back as two years ago, it became a possibility.

As recently as a week ago — when owners and players agreed to extend the deadline for reaching a labor deal — Commissioner Roger Goodell made it sound avoidable.

And yet here we are: The country’s most popular sport — water-cooler fodder for six months of Mondays; generator of more than $9 billion in annual revenues; responsible for the two most-watched programs in U.S. TV history, the 2010 and 2011 Super Bowls — is stuck in a holding pattern, thanks to its first work stoppage in nearly a quarter of a century.

The owners imposed a lockout on the players Saturday, essentially shutting down operations. That came hours after talks broke off and the union dissolved itself.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Georgia Tech fires Hewitt ATLANTA — The mounting losses and declining attendance finally caught up with Paul Hewitt. Saturday the Yellow Jackets answered the long-running question about the coach’s future when they fired him only two days after another disappointing season.

Hewitt, who took the Yellow Jackets to the national championship game in 2004, muddled through his fourth losing season in the last six years.

“At the end of the day we just didn’t win enough games,” Hewitt told the Associated Press on Saturday. “It’s part of the business.”

Utah fires coach Boylen SALT LAKE CITY — Utah men’s basketball coach Jim Boylen was hoping for one more year to rebuild. Instead he lost big in Las Vegas, then lost his job after four seasons.

Boylen was fired Saturday, just two days after the Utes ended a second straight losing season by falling to San Diego State in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament in Las Vegas.

Virginia women’s coach to resign CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — Debbie Ryan, who built Virginia’s women’s basketball program into a perennial NCAA Tournament team and overcame pancreatic cancer, has resigned after 34 years and 736 victories.

GOLF Johnson leads at Doral DORAL, FLA. — Dustin Johnson hit his stride and found his swagger Saturday on the back nine of the Blue Monster at Doral to emerge with a two-shot lead going into the final round of the Cadillac Championship.

Johnson hit what he called a “bunt drive” some 310 yards on the 17th and hit wedge to two feet for the last of his eight birdies. Just as importantly, he played the 18th hole without drama to finish with a 7-under 65.

He was at 13-under 203, although eight players are separated by three shots heading into the last day.

through with a 10-6 record and won the AFC West title for the first time since 2005.

“From the Chiefs’ standpoint, I think we’re in a very good position having a head coach who’s going into his third year,” Hunt said. “He has a lot of continuity on his coaching staff, and it will be easier to pick up and get ready at whatever point where football resumes.”

It was just one of those days.

The Jayhawks had a quiet day at the plate and fell, 8-1, to Eastern Michigan, which pounded 13 hits in the second game of a three-game series on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

The Eagles roughed up Marciel for three runs in the first inning and knocked him out of the game in the fourth after four straight hits — including back-to-back homers — that put the slumping KU offense in a 6-0 hole.

“When you give up three in the first, it’s kind of hard to bounce back,” Marciel said, who was battered for six runs on 11 hits in only 31⁄3 innings.

Marciel fell to 2-2 after three impressive outings to begin the season, while his earned-run average ballooned from 1.89 to 5.61.

While the Eagles scored their first runs on a few wellplaced singles, they seemed to have Marciel timed by the fourth inning and started teeing off.

Reed gets his slam

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

By Matt Tait

‘One More Year?’

Fans in Sprint Center chanted “One More Year” as the Morris twins clipped the nets after Saturday’s Big 12 tournament title win over Texas.

“I mean, it’s definitely nice to know people want us to come back,” Marcus said. “We’ve not made that decision, not thought about that decision (to possibly turn pro). I grinned knowing they want me back.

They are special fans.”

Noted Markieff: “I definitely heard it. It definitely sunk in.

We’ll just see what happens.”

mtait@ljworld.com

‘Ferrari’ is back Tyshawn Taylor, who scored a season-high 20 points after returning to the starting lineup, had a funny line on the court after the game.

“I’m back. The Ferrari is back,” Taylor said of one of his nicknames. He’d just been congratulated by coach Bill Self, who told junior combo guard Taylor he’d played his best game since he’d been in college.

All-tourney team KU’s Marcus Morris and Markieff Morris were joined on the all-tourney team by Texas’ Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson and Colorado’s Alec Burks.

TYREL REED (14) THROWS DOWN the first dunk of his KU career in front of an awestruck Marcus Morris.

KANSAS CITY , M O. — Forget the style points.

Throw the scorecards they use at the NBA’s slam dunk contest away.

Saturday’s dunk by Kansas University senior Tyrel Reed during KU’s 85-73 victory over Texas in the Big 12 tournament title game earned high marks from the rest of the Jayhawks for one reason.

“First off, I’ll give him an 8 or 9 just for completing it,” said junior guard Tyshawn Taylor, whose steal and assist led to the first dunk of Reed’s KU career. “Now, if I was doing the dunk contest or something like that, I’d probably drop it down to a 2 or 3.”

Either score was fine with Reed. Widely known to have the highest vertical leap on the KU team, Reed has been constantly ribbed during recent weeks about the possibility of finishing his career without throwing one down.

“You should see him in practice,” sophomore forward Thomas Robinson said. “Seeing that he has the highest vertical on the team, I’m gonna have to take some points away. But, he did it at the right

Today’s the day Today is NCAA Tournament Selection Sunday. CBS will reveal the bracket from 5 to 6 p.m.

“I think Texas should be a No. 2 seed. I think they had that locked up before the game. I think we are a No. 1, and that was locked up before the game. I think today’s game was for pride,” Self said. “I’ll tell you this: This tournament wouldn’t mean as much if it ended Sunday with so much going on. The conference moving it to Saturday is great for the players. This is their day to enjoy this tournament.”

Of Selection Sunday, Self said: “I want there to be a little day of celebration being in the tournament. We should never take it for granted.”

time and the right moment, so I’m gonna give him an 8.”

Added junior forward Markieff Morris: “We told him that he would never get one, and he said he was definitely going to get one, and he did. What better way to end (his career in) the Big 12 than by getting a dunk?”

The now-fabled flush came at the 12:25 mark of the first half and put KU up, 21-13. On a run-out on a fast break, Reed caught up with the pass from Taylor, took a couple of dribbles, rose high above the rim and hammered it home. The amazing part was that he chose to jump off his injured left foot instead of leaping off of two feet like he prefers.

“I haven’t really jumped off one foot in a long time because of my foot,” Reed said. “It was feeling pretty good in warmups, and I was like, ‘If I get a chance, I’m gonna try to do it.’”

It didn’t take long for the chance to come, and it took even less time for the scores to roll in after the game.

“I’ll give it an 8.5,” said sophomore guard Elijah Johnson, who had bumped his rating up to 9.33 by the time he finished explaining.

“Nine,” Josh Selby said.

“A 10,” said Mario Little.

“Not on style, just because. For style, I’m gonna give him a 7.”

Usually on the same page, the Morris twins possessed slightly different views on the topic of Reed’s rim-rattler.

“I give that a 10 because it was his first dunk in a game,” Markieff Morris said. “And he surprised me. I thought he was gonna do something else, so I gotta give that a 10.”

Added Marcus Morris: “That’s my man, so I’m gonna give him a 7. It was nice. He got up, he put some authority behind it, and he showed some emotion. Just for him to be able to get his first dunk at such a big moment was definitely special.”

Of those interviewed, sophomore Travis Releford dished out the lowest score. Releford shrugged and decided on the number 6 for his score.

The Jayhawk who was closest to Releford’s assessment was Reed himself.

“Maybe a 6, maybe a 5,” Reed said. “I wasn’t doing anything crazy. It was just a basic, one-handed dunk. It wasn’t anything special.”

Not so, said senior Brady Morningstar. “‘About time’ is my comment,” Morningstar said.

Keegan

Taylor got the shaft when he wasn’t named to the fiveman all-tournament team.

Other than Marcus Morris, nobody had a better tourney than Taylor. Oh well, if that gives him a little chip going into the tournament, maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

“Tyshawn can get comfortable,” Self said. “Comfortable’s bad. He needs to have that edge every day.”

Taylor, who scored 37 points in the final two games of the Big 12 tourney, has regained his starting spot, which means Johnson will come off the bench again.

“I got game experience out of the deal,” Johnson said.

“I’m more comfortable on the court now. I don’t feel like I can get more comfortable on the floor now, that’s pretty much it.”

Self was asked if he knew all along he would go back to Taylor as his point guard.

“You know, I knew what was best for our team, and what’s best for our team is to have him in the game,” Self said. “But there’s a place for Elijah, too. There’s a place for both of our guys. And there are some times where if Tyshawn wasn’t playing well statistically, he can still impact the game in a lot of ways. And I think that’s something that he kind of got away from a little bit when things weren’t going well.”

In this season in which four players have missed games because of suspensions and three because of injuries, the rotation forever has been in flux. Now, in the nick of time, it appears set. Nobody’s suspended. Nobody’s too injured to play. And the most inconsistent key player just might have grown up at the perfect time. Time will answer that question.

“Coach just told me he thinks it was the best game I played in college, so I’ll take his word for it,” Taylor said.

“We ain’t done, though.

We’ve got another one to go yet.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Recalling UNI Self was asked how he could best motivate his team for the NCAAs. “Maybe we’ll draw Northern Iowa. That would probably do it,” Self joked of KU’s loss last season in the second round.

Talking about talking Self was asked about Markieff Morris apparently running into Texas’ players in an arena hall Friday night and informing the Longhorns the Jayhawks wanted them in the final.

“You know what, there’s probably some Texas guys saying stuff to our guys, too.

These guys know each other, text each other all the time.

That kind of stuff can be done in fun,” Self said. “That doesn’t bother me. These kids know each other from back playing AAU.”

Markieff backed up a message he sent to UT’s players when he met the Longhorns in an arena hallway after Friday’s semifinal victory over Colorado. Jai Lucas had told the Austin American-Statesman that Markieff “had some choice words you can’t put into the newspaper.”

“Of course I feel good I backed up my words,” Markieff said. “I just said, ‘You are all next, and we’re ready for you.’ That’s all I said.

“We feel the Big 12 is our conference. They got away with one when we were down and stuff was happening and we were drained. We came out today with a chip on our shoulder.”

The night before the first meeting, the Jayhawks had stayed up consoling Thomas Robinson, who’d learned his mother had died back in Washington, D.C. “Last night, Tyshawn (Taylor, season-high 20 points) said it felt like somebody hit you without looking and then ran away,’’’ Robinson said after scoring 10 points and grabbing nine boards in 18 minutes. “I take nothing away from them. Not using an excuse, but we weren’t at full speed. We played them at full strength today. We definitely wanted to set the record straight. Texas is a great team, but we are a good team, too.”

KU had six players score in double figures, but no other Jayhawks scored. Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed had 13 and 11 on a day the Jayhawks hit 56.9 percent of their shots to Texas’ 40.9 percent.

KU outrebounded tough Texas, 38-33.

“I talked to my brother and T-Rob and said, ‘Today will not be one of the days Thompson (Tristan, seven points, two boards) gets 11 offensive rebounds like he does all the time,” Marcus Morris said.

“We played as hard as we possibly could. It was a great, great day.”

As will be today. KU most assuredly will be awarded a No. 1 seed when NCAA Tournament pairings are announced at 5 p.m. on CBS.

Maybe Self over-reacted to whatever rule Taylor broke because he knew Kansas wasn’t going to get to the Final Four in Houston without consistent play from his point guard. We might never know, but even Taylor has his suspicions.

“I think coaches go to a psychology class or something to kind of mess with people’s minds to get them to think how they want them to think,” Taylor said.

The junior point guard with the lively personality and wandering focus can’t dispute that his time in street clothes led to Kansas peaking just in time for March Madness.

“I think that might have been the best thing that happened to me and this team,” Taylor said of the suspension. “I think it gave Elijah some confidence. Like I said, with him playing good, it makes us a better team. And myself as well.”

Basketball aside, I asked Taylor, how smart is his coach?

“I think he’s a genius, if you ask me,” Taylor said. “He knows what he wants and gets people to follow his lead, and being able to do that makes you a smart person.”

Taylor said that when Self went around the locker room before Saturday’s game, pointing at one player at a time and reminding each guy they had won without him, when he at some point in his career missed a game because of injury or suspension or part of a game because of an ejection, it worked.

“It definitely did something for me,” Taylor said. “I felt like I had to come out and show why I should be starting, why I should be playing. These last couple games, that’s exactly what I wanted to do.”

Longhorns shrug off Markieff’s banter

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY , M O. — Texas forward Gary Johnson didn’t have any problems with how Kansas University’s players handled themselves before and during the Jayhawks’ 8573 victory Saturday.

Friday, before Texas’ game against Texas A&M, KU forward Markieff Morris said a few words to the Texas players in the tunnel by the locker room. He told the Longhorns he wanted them to beat the Aggies so the Jayhawks could face them again.

Johnson was quoted in the Austin American-Statesman: “We exchanged a few words.

Let’s say it will be more than a basketball game (Saturday).”

UT beat Texas A&M, 70-58, on Friday to set up Saturday’s title game against KU. “I think people took it the wrong way as far as there was going to be on the court … there was going to be us having fistfights and stuff,” Johnson said. “But, it was a lot of those guys having fun.

That’s what they do, talk, talk trash and have fun.”

Johnson said the banter extended into Saturday’s game, especially from Markieff and his brother, Marcus.

“On the court, they were talking. Just trying to be funny with each other,” Johnson said.

Those days felt long ago Saturday as the freshman put on a record-setting show that helped the sixth-ranked Tar Heels escape once again at the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

Barnes set a freshman tournament record with 40 points to help North Carolina rally past Clemson, 92-87 in overtime, in the semifinals, sending the Tar Heels back to the championship game for the first time in three years.

Barnes hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 4:13 left as part of a 9-0 spurt to open the extra period for top-seeded North Carolina (26-6), which continued its living-dangerously run in Greensboro with another big comeback. A day after rallying from 19 down in the final 10 minutes to beat Miami, the Tar Heels trailed the Tigers (21-11) by 14 in the first half and rallied from seven down in the final four

“My goal was to be in the final,” Barnes said. “This is not how I imagined us doing it, but we find a way.”

BIG 12 WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP

Record-setting Griner, Bears topple Aggies KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Baylor coach Kim Mulkey is running out of superlatives to describe 6-foot-8 center Brittney Griner.

Griner had 31 points, eight rebounds and seven blocks to lift No. 3 Baylor to a 61-58 victory Saturday over No. 8 Texas A&M for the Big 12 tournament title. Griner’s points and blocks were Big 12 championship-game records.

“If anybody has another adjective (for Griner’s performance), let me know,” Mulkey said.

The Lady Bears (31-2) cut down the nets and celebrated a second Big 12 tournament championship in three years thanks to the domination by Griner at both ends. During one stretch, she scored 20 consecutive points.

“This game is going to help us when we get in the NCAA Tournament,” Griner said.

Inaugural UFO summit coming to Lawrence

By Michael C. Auchard Special to the Journal-World

For Lawrence resident Daniel Lauing, there is more than enough evidence available to support claims that the Earth has been visited by extraterrestrial life.

Lauing is funding the Reykawvik Summit, a major conference of unidentified-flyingobject experts from around the world. The event will take place March 18-20 at Liberty Hall, 642 Mass.

“Basically,” Lauing says, “this is a group of authors, scientists and lecturers who have devoted their lives to the research of unidentified aerial phenomena.

We’re bringing in UFOlogists, those that study the field of UFOs. We’re bringing them down here to this forum — I believe Lawrence is very open to this type of venue.”

Lauing says the name

of the conference is a combination of Reykjavik, Iceland, the location of a famous series of nuclear disarmament talks in 1986, and the word Kaw, with its associations to the Lawrence area.

“Having knowledge that, in 1983, the filming of the movie ‘The Day After’ happened here in Lawrence, I was aware of a small story that occurred because of that. Ronald Reagan viewed his copy of the film, he then gave it to Mikhail Gorbachev to view. The story goes, Gorbachev came back to Reagan with the proposal to do a summit.”

Awareness of the existence of alien visitation to Earth is important to Lauing because he believes the world is reaching a tipping point in regards to atomic weaponry. He thinks alien life has taken notice of this potential danger as well.

“I believe, with all

sincerity, that we are approaching a global confrontation with nuclear arms,” he says.

“That is why, I believe, the sightings are happening so much near nuclear weapon depots.”

Retired Air Force Captain Robert Salas agrees with Lauing’s assessment of the situation. He will be a speaker at the Reykawvik Summit.

Salas was stationed at Malmstrom Airforce Base, Montana, in 1967 when, he says, a “huge, pulsating, red-colored object hovered above the front gate” of the facility.

“The guy who called me was obviously very frightened,” Salas says.

“The guards all had their weapons out. I told them to not let anything through the front gate, as it could have been some sort of attack. It was a critical Please see UFO, page 11A

Lawrence bands make trek Lawrence choir director embarks to South by Southwest on Old World homecoming

By Sean Rosner

By Trevan McGee Special to the Journal-World

trevan@lawrence.com

Though many college students spend the dreary winter months dreaming of spending spring break on a white-sand beach, for music fans, the third week in March is synonymous with one thing: the South By Southwest music and film festival.

Each year, thousands of bands descend on southern Texas for five days of nonstop shows and parties in every conceivable space in Austin.

Here’s a look at a few Lawrence bands making the trek this year.

When Tracy Resseguie commissioned Washburn University history lecturer and lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri to write a song about his greatgrandfather, he had no idea that would lead to an accidental homecoming and a once-in-alifetime performance.

But that’s exactly what happened.

Resseguie, the music director at First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence and the director of choirs at Staley High School in Kansas City, Mo., along with his family, 43 students and 10 chaperones, are on their way to Norway to perform “Over Havet,” the piece originally commissioned three years ago.

The four-stanza song, with lyrics by Silvestri, of Lawrence, and music by music theory and composition department head at Bob Jones University and Kansas University alumnus Dan

The Appleseed Cast Atmospheric-rock veterans The Appleseed Cast will be making their fourth appearance at SXSW this year.

This time, they’ll be promoting a new EP, “Middle States.” Guitarist Aaron Pillar says the band will have digital downloads of the EP available at the SXSW shows, though it won’t be available physically until later this spring.

As an already well-established band, Pillar says his main goal for the festival

is to support the band’s new label, Graveface Records. They’re playing two Graveface showcases, one at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Skinny’s Ballroom, and Saturday at the Blue Starlite Mini Drive-In. Pillar says he loves how accommodating and receptive Austin is to bands and festival-goers. He recounts one time when, slightly boozy after a performance, he went out to the band’s Please see BANDS, page 11A

IF YOU are not ready to donate photographs to a library or museum but want to reduce your pile of documents, consider digitally scanning them. You can purchase film scanners to do this yourself, or some photo service labs will provide the service for a cost. This will allow you to keep a digital copy as well as donate the materials to appropriate repository.

BEHIND THE LENS

Document your photos

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

My last column revealed the discovery of some historic color photographs of U.S. presidents at a Lawrence thrift store. The photos are similar to ones in the collection at the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Mo., with one notable exception — they are in color. I contacted Pauline Testerman, audiovisual archivist at the Truman Library, with the information. Despite the collection’s lack of documentation, she said the library would certainly be interested in the photographs.

“We would accept them and hope to get as much information about them as possible,” says Testerman, “but it’s not always possible to have information on things like this.”

Apparently, lack of documentation is common with many donations to libraries and museums. The more important concern is how

many valuable photographs are thrown away or lost simply because people don’t know what to do with their collections.

Let’s face it, a lot of us probably have hundreds of photographs in our house. They may not be presidential material, but to archivists and historians, they can be valuable historic documents.

Sherry Williams, curator of collections at KU’s Spencer Research Library, which maintains a collection of more than 2 million historical photographs, encourages people to consider donating items for research and study.

“Our own photographs, of ourselves and family, have an immediate value and importance that, over time, and without someone to carry on the interest in the legacy, can diminish,” Williams says.

“Yet these same photographs can provide researchers with much information about community, the local landscape, the times, events, dress and social customs.”

Here are some recommendations for handling a collection of family photographs or documents that you have inherited or found. ● Older negatives, slides and prints can be digitally scanned and stored on DVDs or hard drives. This makes it easy to create digital copies to disperse to family members. For the do-it-yourself method, this requires a scanner and computer. You can also find photo labs that will provide this service. ● Make arrangements to pass your photographs to family members who have an interest in maintaining the collection. ● If there is no one to inherit your photographs, consider their subject content and locate an appropriate depository. KU’s Spencer Research Library and Watkins Community Museum of History are two local repositories.

a performance inside the Great Hall at Ellis Island. For many, including Nerland, Ellis Island was both the literal and metaphorical gateway into the U.S., where immigrants went for inspection before entering the country.

This performance is one of the first — if only — times that a choir has been allowed to perform inside the historic space. Making this happen wasn’t easy. Resseguie reached out to Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., and U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., and used a connection he had at the White House in order to secure the necessary permits.

But considering the sacri-

fices his great-grandfather made in order to get here, leaving his family and everything he knew behind for the chance of a better life, Resseguie didn’t give it a second thought. More than a school trip, Resseguie sees this journey as an opportunity to connect with a part of his family history he had only previously known through second-hand stories and photographs.

“It all started with a story,” Resseguie says. “I think it’s a beautiful way to say, ‘Thank you.’”

afterlife.

“Without his sacrifice I wouldn’t be doing what I do.

My kids wouldn’t be here,” Resseguie says.

The tour will make stops in Oslo, Lillehammer, Voss and Stavanger before arriving on Finnoy, the island where Nerland grew up until he emigrated at age 16. With the help of Silvestri and another trip coordinator, Resseguie was able to find the church in which Nerland was baptized.

The choir will perform there on their last stop before coming back to the U.S. The trip will conclude with

The directors who influenced him and helped him early on include two polar opposites: John Cassavetes and Roger Corman. There’s a certain satisfaction, he says, that comes in documentary filmmaking such as the rock ’n’ roll meditations found in his “The Last Waltz” on the Band.

He also details many memorable scenes, breaking down the angles, the thinking behind everything. The historical roots in his films, and there are many, are exposed: The shot of Manhattan in the credits of “New York, New York,” for instance, is “taken from the credits of ‘The Man I Love.”’ The men also discuss the intricate storyboarding Scorsese does for every film, blocking it out scene by scene, lamenting that the Eberhard Faber ebony, jet black, extra smooth, 6325 pencils he favored are no longer made.

In the time the still-active filmmaker has left, he pines to do a classic love story. “It’s not like a test,” he says, “but it’s like a canon of work that every filmmaker or novelist should be able to do.”

Until then, we have the rest and, courtesy of these conversations, Scorsese’s contemplations on it all.

’Lords of Misrule’ gets writer back on track Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

M I L W A U K E E — For a long time, Jaimy Gordon couldn’t bear to look at the manuscript of her novel “Lord of Bill Wachspress, Misrule.” She wouldn’t even balloon man, keep it out on her desk, it irriLawrence tated her that much. “‘Heavenly Intrigue: “There she was, that reckJohannes Kepler, Tycho less young woman in her 20s Brahe, and the Murder that I had written about,” Behind One of History's Gordon said about Maggie, a Greatest Scientific pivotal character and cataDiscoveries’ by Joshua and lyst in her novel, set at a runAnne-Lee Gilder.

Above all else, Martin Scorsese is a character.

Brilliant, brazen, engaging, esoteric, reverent, irreverent, ironic — all are qualities that have forged the 68-yearold director into an unqualified master. Much revered, once reviled, Scorsese has created some of the most extraordinary work in modern cinema: the gangster leitmotif of “Mean Streets,” “Goodfellas,” “Casino” and “The Departed”; the awakening feminism of “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”; the brutal anger of “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull”; the unsetDebra Hinshaw, tling treatise on fame in “The home teacher, King of Comedy”; the Lawrence respectful religious provoca“‘Cross Fire’ by James tion of the much-maligned Patterson. I like his style. I like “The Last Temptation of his detail. I like the way he Christ”; and on it goes. portrays his characters.”

The length and breadth of that work is the starting point for longtime film critic, author and documentarian Richard Schickel in “Conversations With Scorsese,” his intriguing, sometimes maddening but ultimately satisfying new book. Though billed as a conversation, it often reads more like a lecture series as the men discuss each of Scorsese’s feature films, a smattering of his documentaries, his views Judy Krizman, on editing, music, color, storetired, ryboarding and everything Lawrence else in the f ilmmaking “‘American Assassin’ by process.

That nature is both the appeal and the conundrum of the book — when to rein him in and when to let him run. Schickel does a good deal of both, though the book would have benefited from more tightening.

The author and the auteur first met in 1973, Schickel writes in the introduction, Steve Martin, and he sketches out their respiratory therapist, encounters over the years Lawrence “‘Monsoon’ by Robert Kaplan. and how they came to do this book.

Two-Tie, she felt as if she was “looking at the down slope here and nothing great has happened.”

But in Gordon’s case, something great did happen.

“Lord of Misrule,” from small publisher McPherson & Co., won the 2010 National B ook Award for fiction.

(It’s also been nominated for this year’s PEN/Faulkner award.) Her book was praised in print by both Andrew B eyer, a leading national horse racing columnist, and novelist Jane Smiley, a passionate horsewoman herself.

Last week, Vintage published a paperback edition of “Lord of Misrule” ($15), ensuring Gordon the widest potential audience she’s ever had for her writing. Her longshot winner combines full-

bodied racing scenes with a f ine-grained passion for word choice.

“I’m the granddaughter of a whole pack of horse players,” Gordon said earlier this year, interviewed when she stopped at Milwaukee’s Boswell Book Company on her hardcover book tour.

Not long out of college, she “ended up getting sucked into the operation of a glamorous young horse trainer,” Gordon admitted, just like Maggie.

The “back side” of the racetrack she describes is based partly on her own experiences at the Green Mountain Race Track in Pownal, Vt. Gordon said she wanted to write about “the society of the racetrack, about how people don’t really mesh,” even though they work together,

sometimes even love each other.

While researching her book, she gained entry to the back-side operations of Pimlico, a much classier track than the one she imagined in her book, soaking up language and anecdote from people who worked there, notably a retired groom named Bubbles Reilly, who can claim a share in Medicine Ed’s paternity.

“If I hear an interesting slang expression, I usually write it down,” Gordon said, pulling out her calendar to share some recent discoveries, including one too risque for a family newspaper.

Gordon teaches writing at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. She proudly pointed out that the year before she won a National Book Award, her former student Bonnie Jo Campbell was a National Book Award finalist for her story collection “American Salvage” (W.W. Norton paperback, $13.95).

van to listen to Kansas University basketball highlights and ended up locking the keys in it while the engine was running. When two bicycle cops approached him, he was pleasantly surprised when they turned out to be Appleseed Cast fans. “These two crazy cops come back from the station with a slim jim and open the van,� he says. “I ran out and gave them free T-shirts.�

After their shows in Austin, The Appleseed Cast will be heading on a twoweek tour throughout the Southwest and up the West Coast with fellow Lawrence rockers Muscle Worship.

Cowboy Indian Bear In their second consecutive trip to SXSW, Cowboy Indian Bear will be putting less focus on getting their dancy pop tunes heard by new ears, instead trying to simply take in the festival and have a good time. Multiinstrumentalist CJ Calhoun says the often overwhelming number of things to do at SXSW makes it difficult for bands to promote their performances. “It’s become more of a party rather than a productive thing for bands to do,�

Calhoun says.

After a string of shows heading down to Texas, Cowboy Indian Bear will play the Liberty Bar at 9:45 p.m. Friday as part of the Midcoast Takeover, a showcase of Kansas City-area bands put together by the Midwest Music Foundation.

Hospital Ships Jordan Geiger, main man behind quirky pop group Hospital Ships, is no stranger to SXSW. Having previously played SXSW with Old Canes and Shearwater, this will be Geiger’s fourth time performing at the festival, but the first time playing his own music. “It’s kind of Hospital Ships’ coming out party,� Geiger says.

Hospital Ships will be playing two showcases for Graveface Records. They’ll hit the stage at 9 p.m. Friday at Skinny’s Ballroom and again the next night at the Blue Starlite Mini Drive-In. With the endless list of bands playing SXSW, Geiger says he’s a bit skeptical about the amount of exposure the festival will bring Hospital Ships, but he says he’s excited that the event will bring his friends from around the country together to see him play.

And being somewhat of a SXSW veteran, Geiger has his fair share of memorable moments. From sleeping under interstates to blowing vuvuzelas at random strangers (and at Matt Pinfield during an MTV taping), Geiger has plenty to look back and laugh about. Playing with Shearwater last year, Geiger ran into one of his musical heros: David William Sims of The Jesus Lizard. After chatting, Sims ended up staying to see Geiger play his set. “That kind of random occurrence is what I look forward to,� Geiger says.

Mansion Sludgy rock outfit Mansion will be making their first appearance at SXSW as a band this year, though guitarist Kyle Sheline says that several of the band members have been going to the event as fans for years.

Sheline says the band isn’t putting too much pressure on itself to turn any heads at the event. “We’re not necessarily looking to have anything happen, Sheline says. “We just normally go down for fun anyways, so I’m excited to be able to play, too.�

The band will be playing the Midcoast Takeover event at the Liberty Bar at 3:45 p.m.

Friday also will be playing later that night at the Takoba restaurant. Sheline says he’s especially happy to be playing at the Liberty Bar, where he sees some reminders of Lawrence. “I would probably hang out there even if we weren’t playing,� Sheline says. “It’s kind of like the Replay of east Austin.�.

Special to the Journal-World

Kansas poet laureate Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg traveled to Ames, Iowa, to attend some writing workshops and to give a reading of her poetry. While she was there, she became acquainted with Mary Swander, the poet laureate of Iowa. “We had such a good time,�

Mirriam-Goldberg says, “We started joking about having a poet laureate slumber party.�

The jokes soon turned into serious plans, which resulted in the first Midwest Poets Laureate Convergence last year in Lawrence. In addition to Mirriam-Goldberg and Swander, the event was attended by Wisconsin’s poet laureate Marilyn L. Taylor, Walter Bargen, of Missouri, and Denise Low and Jonathan Holden, past poets laureate of Kansas. “We had a blast, so we decided to invite the whole country,� Mirriam-Goldberg says.

As a result, 19 poets from Alaska to Virginia and many states in between travel to Lawrence this weekend to attend the inaugural Poet Laureati: A National Convergence of State Poets Laureati.

Among the attendees will be national poet laureate Ted Kooser, who will give a read-

Other events take place today at the Spencer and Monday at the Lawrence Art Center, 940 N.H. “Absolutely everybody is invited to attend,� MirriamGoldberg says. “There will be panel discussions and readings. But it’ll also be an opportunity for people to casually visit with poets laureate.�

There also will be an auction where attendees can bid for a chance to take a poet laureate to dinner. Additionally, the United Poets Laureate, which is organizing the event, plan to release “An Endless

Skyway: Poetry from the State Poets Laureate of America,� an anthology that will be published by Ice Cube Books. “I’m looking forward to interacting with my fellow poets laureate,� says Bargen of Missouri, who, like the other attendees, is traveling to Lawrence at his own expense. “I hope we can come together to think of new ways to get poetry out in the public eye and get people

to understand poetry as something they should want and value.�

That’s what being a poet laureate is about, MirriamGoldberg says: sharing the art of words. “Poets laureate really lift up the profile of reading and writing poetry as something valuable,� she says. “We travel to underserved communities in our states, where there isn’t as much presence of the arts. We not only do readings, but we help people find their own words.� “When I was appointed poet laureate of Missouri,�

Bargen says, “I thought I would just get a plaque and hang it on the wall. Then I discovered that people from all around the state wanted me to visit and give a reading.�

This kind of ambassadorship for poetry is important, Bargen says, because all people use language. “Language is probably our most important tool. And poets are very precise with language. It becomes a lesson for everyone who reads poetry, to see just how powerful language is.�

situation. I told my commander what was happening, and, as I told him, our missiles started to go into a no-go, disabled condition. All 10 of them. I’ve got the two crews on duty during these incidents, and all of us are saying the same thing.�

Salas says he knows the encounter clearly illustrates that aliens exist and they may be trying to warn humanity away from nuclear disaster. “I think they could have done a lot more damage than they did. They could have damaged the electronics and they didn’t. There’ve been many other situations where these things flew over sites.

In many cases, the objects show a beam of light over the weapons storage area, where the nukes were kept. To me, that’s a message that says, ‘What are you guys doing with these things? Get rid of them.’�

Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist, author and lecturer on UFOs, compares the current climate of popular disbelief of terrestrial alien sightings to that of the Catholic Church’s repressive response to Nicolaus Copernicus when he stated the Earth wasn’t at the center of the universe. Friedman will also be speaking at the

upcoming summit. “Our own picture of ourselves is one big reason we need to understand what’s going on here,� Friedman says. “When are we going to wake up to the fact that we’re wasting resources on things like the military rather than things for the benefit of the people on the planet? Until someone says, ‘The emperor doesn’t have any clothes on,’ we won’t change that.�

Friedman says alien life might see humanity in a very different light than we view ourselves. “I’m sure, to a visiting society, we’re primitives whose major activity is tribal warfare. We’re raping the planet, we’re conquering the planet.

We’re not showing adult behavior. We’ve got too much technology and not enough sociology.�

Friedman says acceptance of UFOs would change human culture instantly, perhaps a reason governments could be covering information about UFOs up. “The younger generation would immediately push for a new view of ourselves,� he says. “From an alien perspective, we’re all Earthlings.

There isn’t a government on this planet that wants its citizens to identify themselves solely as human. Nationalism is the only game in town.�

ARTS NOTE Spencer announces performance exhibit The Spencer Museum of Art will become an experimental performance laboratory for a day as performance artist Ernesto Pujol conceptualizes the representation of gaze— the artist as the embodiment of our human gaze. Pujol stages meditative performances that involve subtle gesture, such as walking, pausing, looking, tracing and drawing.

For the Spencer he has created “Visitation,� a site-specific performance based on the history of painting, as an act of copying the entire contents on view within the Museum on this given day, creating a painterly time capsule, shadow-collecting all visual experience. The event is free and open to the public.

After positioning himself as a human sculpture in the entrance to the Spencer, Pujol will spring to life and engage in a silent institutional intervention, gentle and laborious, for an entire uninterrupted day, from opening to closing time.

His durational piece will leave a trail of drawings, left on view all day, allowing the audience to follow his pilgrimage through the galleries. This is a

six-hour-long work that can be imitated by Museum visitors, who can come and go, drawing with Pujol, ultimately ending in a humble exit after the Spencer is formally flooded with paper.

Pujol is currently a graduate advisor at the Parsons School of Design, and is the founder and director of The Field School project and the new UteHaus performance group.

Kansas Music Hall of Fame welcomes 2011 inductees On March 5, the Kansas Music Hall of Fame welcomed its new inductees from 2011.

GUIDE TO GROWING LAWRENCE ————

W

Area producers building educational network

ith so much recent emphasis on local, you might think the Growing Lawrence website and print directory are something new. Our Lawrence area farmers were ahead of their time, though, having created their own farm guide in the late 1980s.

The only thing that has changed is the name. The Lawrence Area Farm Guide became Growing Lawrence in 2008 with the creation of the complimentary website that lists area farms and their products.

Last week, the Lawrence Area Horticulture Producers Association, who produces the guide and maintains the website, also changed their name to Growing Lawrence.

With new enthusiasm from farmers young and old, the organization is working to promote each others’ farms as well as learn from each other.

Dan Phelps, co-owner of MAD Farm, is one young farmer who sees a big benefit to being part of Growing Lawrence.

“It’s a way to network with farmers in the area and share valuable information. And it’s a way to socialize with them,” Phelps says.

Phelps’ reasons for joining

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Growing Lawrence are exactly the reasons local producers formed the organization in 1984. Karen Pendleton, one of the founding members, says the group started with educational meetings and networking and added the marketing aspect later. Pendleton owns Pendleton’s Country Market with her husband, John.

“There was a group starting out who were all beginning new business ventures. It was the height of the farm crisis, so we were looking for alternatives to conventional crops,” Pendleton says.

“John and I had just planted asparagus, the Schaakes were getting their pumpkin patch going, the Henry’s put up a greenhouse, and Bismark Gardens was planting strawberries. There were others, too, and we were looking for a way

to share information.”

The local producers quickly realized the need for a directory, when visitors to the farms inquired about where to find other local products.

“There was always somebody asking, ‘Do you know where I can find blank?’”

Pendleton says.

Over time, the group that once limited themselves to producers of horticultural products became more inclusive. There were local meat producers, fiber producers, soap makers and others who had the same goals as the horticulture producers. And, many consumers who were interested in local fruits and vegetables were also interested in other local products.

The association changed the name this year to be more inclusive of all of their members and also to avoid confusion about who the guide and website represented.

Pendleton says she feels a renewed energy with the number of new growers like Phelps.

“We can learn from them and they can learn from us,” she says. “The enthusiasm is contagious.”

Phelps is like many new farmers — he didn’t grow up on a farm but had the oppor-

tunity to work on a farm for a few years.

“I really just fell in love with working outside, being your own boss, and working from home,” Phelps says. “Now we are growing just about every kind of vegetable.”

Phelps is serving on the Board of Directors for Growing Lawrence, along with Karen Pendleton, Jane Wohletz of Wohletz’s Farm Fresh, and Jack Wilson of Washington Creek Lavender.

Growing Lawrence meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 a.m. at Local Burger. Future program plans include information from farm business, direct and wholesale marketing and sales, food safety and new cropping methods.

“People who are thinking about getting into the business are welcome to join us, too,” Pendleton says. “We are a true local, grass-roots organization.”

Print copies of the Growing Lawrence guide will be available later this spring at the Douglas County Extension office, The Merc, and at participating farms.

DAN PHELPS has been growing red Russian kale in his hoophouse. Phelps, coowner of MAD Farm, is one young farmer who sees a big benefit to being part of Growing Lawrence.

Fancy bottles with unusual labels highly collectible

By Terry Kovel

Bottles can be labeled with paper labels, painted (pyro) labels, embossed lettering or, most unusual of all, labels under glass. Bottles used “for show,” like the fancy bottles used in a Victorian barbershop to hold Bay Rum or other hair tonic, were made in distinctive shapes and colors. A few have a multicolored paper label that includes a picture of an attractive woman. The label was sealed under a thin piece of glass. The top of the bottle was made with a screw cap and a long neck with a spout to pour out the

hair product. Apothecary stores used a different kind of label under glass that listed the contents in black lettering, often in Latin. The edge of the label was usually painted gold to form a frame and camouflage the extra glass. Bottle collectors and others like these bottles because they are attractive and use a technique for labeling that is not often seen today.

Q:

I own a bronze sculpture that a dealer would like to buy from me. I don’t know what it’s worth. It’s titled “Reaper” and is signed “H.

Muller” on the base. The sculpture is 15 1/2 inches tall.

A:

Your sculpture is from a series of “Farmers” sculptures

by Heinz Muller (1872-1937) of Dusseldorf, Germany.

Original bronzes from the series sell individually for prices ranging from $750 to $1,500. Prices of many bronzes are listed free at Kovels.com/priceguide.

Q: I have a Northwood bowl in the Rose Show pattern, and I can’t find any information about it because it’s opalescent

glass, not carnival glass.

The color at the base is clear blue and the opalescence extends up toward the ruffled edge. When held up to the sun, the opalescence shows amber colors, so I’m not sure what color to call it. Your help would be appreciated.

A: Harry Northwood founded his glass company, H. Northwood Co., in Wheeling, W.Va., in 1901.

Rose Show pattern was made in several different colors of carnival glass, including aqua opalescent and lime-green opalescent.

The pattern was pictured in a 1910 catalog. Northwood

pieces made between 1905 and about 1915 may be marked with an embossed underlined “N” trademark.

Hold the bowl up to the light and look for the mark in the center of the bowl.

Harry Northwood died in 1919, and the plant closed in 1925. Opalescent Rose Show bowls are rarer than clear carnival glass colors. The value of your Rose Show bowl is more than $750.

Tip: To find a small crack in porcelain or glass, try this: Put the piece on a table.

Tap it with your fingernail.

A cracked piece gives off a dull thud; a perfect piece will “ring.”

Sales tax districts hot topic

Mixing the old with the new

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

$30 million. That’s the number that’s never far from the minds of City Hall budget makers.

In 2011, the city will need to collect a little more than $30 million in sales taxes in order to make budget. The public may spend a lot of time talking about property taxes, but when it comes to the city’s finances, sales taxes are a much bigger deal these days. More than 46 percent of the city’s general fund revenues come from sales taxes. Just 22 percent come from property taxes.

LPD officer: Program could be useful in Lawrence

Ottawa police credit a phone-calling system for saving the life of an elderly man who had wandered away from his home last month.

That system, which is free for law enforcement agencies across the country, isn’t in use in Douglas County. But local law enforcement officials said having such a system in place could come in handy when people go missing.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS IN STUDIO 804 are currently building what will showcase the latest in green technology.

KU building to showcase sustainable technology near Chamney dairy farm

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In the 1930s, Harold Chamney was known as one of the most innovative farmers in the state with a dairy operation that provided hundreds of Lawrence homes with fresh bottled milk.

Today, the farm’s fields are owned by the Kansas University Endowment Association, and just a few of the farm’s limestone buildings remain.

KU design professor Greg Thomas hopes the level of innovation that once graced the farm will return in the form of sustain-

To create this vision, the Center for Design Research turned to Studio 804, a KU architecture class that requires its students to spend a year designing and constructing a building.

The Chamney dairy farm sits just off Bob Billings Parkway on KU’s West Campus.

Sandwiched in between the 80year-old barn and farmhouse is the new foundation for what will be the home of the Center for Design Research.

Hugh Carter Carter, a financial adviser, said the city needs to be open to the idea of special taxing districts. He said the districts may be an important tool in attracting retail development, but he said retailers have a strong incentive to not abuse the tool.

“I still think we have to leave it open and look at it on a case-by-case basis,” Carter said. “The developer has to weigh it as heavily as the city does to determine if it is economically sustainable.”

Carter also said he had reservations about requiring retailers who are part CITY of the special COMMISSION taxing district to post a sign that makes it clear a special tax is being charged at the establishment. Carter said he believes the sign could create a negative environment, and he believes most consumers check their receipts after making purchases.

On other issues, Carter: ● Wishes more information were available about the Lowe’s proposal. Carter was on the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission at the time the proposal was filed. He voted against an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan that city staff members said was needed in order for the Lowe’s plan to proceed. Carter said he still agrees that changing the city’s comprehensive plan would have been a bad idea.

But he says he would have liked a more in-depth analysis of whether the project could have been accommodated without the comprehensive plan change. He also wishes Lowe’s would have made a full presentation about how the store would have been designed. That perhaps would have eased some concerns of neighbors.

“I don’t know if I would change my vote, but I would like to have all the information.” ● Wants the city to partner more with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to promote a buy-local campaign. ● Said he would be “hesitant” to turn down projects based on concerns that the retail market is overbuilt.

Lawrence city government over the last few years has become retail-driven. Just one problem: Nobody’s told Lawrence shoppers that.

For the better part of the last decade, the city’s retail industry has been in a funk — and one that appears to be deeper than just the downturn in the economy.

In 2006, the amount of per capita spending that took place in Lawrence was 12 percent higher than the statewide average. Now, the city’s per capita retail spending has fallen below the statewide average. The numbers can’t just be explained away by saying the national economy has declined significantly since 2006. The numbers compare Lawrence with other cities in the state that have had to deal with the declining economy as well.

For some reason, the city hasn’t kept pace.

Trying to figure out why is a question the next group of city commissioners will have to answer. But it is far from the only retail question that will come up at City Hall. At least two other retail issues have been among the more controversial commission items of the year: a rejection of a plan to allow Lowe’s to build near Sixth Street and Folks Road and a running debate over whether new retailers should be allowed to use special taxing districts that could add 1 percent or more onto the sales tax totals of customers.

Here’s a look at what the candidates vying for the three open seats on the Lawrence City Commission are saying about retail issues.

Sven Alstrom Alstrom, an architect, has made opposing the idea of AW special taxing districts a major part of his campaign.

Mike Dever Dever, the owner of a Lawrence-based environmental consulting firm and the lone incumbent in the race, said he’s open to the special taxing districts if developers’ plans are strong.

“If you receive an aboveaverage improvement on a property in exchange for the property owner being able to charge a higher rate to help pay for those, then it can make sense,” Dever said. “But whether it makes sense at every location is something you are going to have to look at on a case-by-case basis.”

Dever, though, said retailers who are part of the special taxing districts should be required to post signs notifying consumers of the tax.

On other issues, Dever: ● Explained that he voted against the Lowe’s proposal because he thought it “strayed too far” from the plan that had been approved for the area. He said that plan was a key part of a compromise that allowed a Walmart to be built at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. ● Believes addressing the city’s slow population growth is a factor in improving the city’s retail scene. He said many retailers consider 100,000 people to be an important benchmark in evaluating the potential of a retail market. ● Said he does not believe the city’s retail market is overbuilt. “I believe there are services that don’t exist in

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD Lawrence that a city of our size could support.”

Mike Machell Machell, a human resources manager for an Overland Park pharmaceutical company, said he’s “somewhat guarded” about the use of special taxing districts. He said they likely would be better to complete development in the city than develop on the edge of town.

“They can be effective if used wisely, but I think they need to be used very judiciously,” Machell said. “If we use them too broadly we create a crazy quilt of sales tax districts that could give us a reputation of a high sales tax community.”

Machell said he didn’t have a strong opinion on whether signs should be required for retailers who are in the district. But he said he would consider the idea.

On other issues, Machell: ● Called the City Commission’s decision on Lowe’s “painful,” but understandable. He said the city was put in a tough position because the city had given assurances to neighbors during the Walmart debate that the site wouldn’t be used for big-box retail. ● Believes it is critical to better communicate to commuters the importance of buying local. ● Thinks the city was too complacent in its efforts to counter the competition created by The Legends and other shopping areas built in Wyandotte County.

“You remember when Ross Perot talked about that sucking sound and NAFTA?” Machell asked. “Well, that sucking sound we’ve been hearing lately are sales tax dollars going to Wyandotte County.”

Bob Schumm Schumm, a downtown restaurant owner and former city commissioner, has been an opponent of the special sales tax districts.

“I don’t like them, I don’t like them,” Schumm said. “I can’t say I will never, ever support one, but it would be close to that. I think it is a sneaky tax.”

Schumm said he thinks the taxing districts create a “very unfair” business advantage because some of the tax dollars can be used to pay for ordinary operating expenses.

He said he supports signs for any retailer in a special taxing district and believes signs retroactively should be required for the two special taxing districts that already exist in the city.

“My whole mode of operation at City Hall is complete transparency, period,” Schumm said.

On other issues, Schumm: ● Said Lowe’s proposal was too far outside of what neighbors had been told would happen on the property. But he said the vacant land just west of Walmart might be an appropriate location for Lowe’s. ● Wants to consider the idea of a retail incubator where unique, start-up retailers could receive a small rent subsidy from the city for up to two years. ● Believes the City Commission does need to ensure that the city doesn’t become overbuilt in the retail market, or else it can lead to unattractive areas of town.

Springing forward into daylight saving time 1 | JAPAN

Nuclear meltdown threatens after quake Cooling systems failed at another nuclear reactor on Japan’s devastated coast today, hours after an explosion at a nearby unit made leaking radiation, or even outright meltdown, the central threat to the country following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

The Japanese government said radiation emanating from the plant appeared to have decreased after Saturday’s blast, which produced a cloud of white smoke that obscured the complex. But the danger was grave enough that officials pumped seawater into the reactor to avoid disaster and moved 170,000 people from the area.

Japan’s nuclear safety agency then reported an emergency at another reactor unit, the third in the complex to have its cooling systems malfunction. To try to release pressure from the overheating reactor, authorities released steam that likely contained small amounts of radiation, the government said.

Japan dealt with the nuclear threat as it struggled to determine the scope of the earthquake, the most powerful in its recorded history, and the tsunami that ravaged its northeast Friday with breathtaking speed and power. The official count of the dead was 686, but the government said the figure could far exceed 1,000.

14 killed in tour bus crash Police say witnesses have told investigators that the driver of a tour bus that crashed on the outskirts of New York City and killed 14 people was driving at a “high rate of speed.”

State Police Major Michael Kopy says authorities are interviewing the driver and are conducting the investigation as if it were a criminal matter. No one has been charged.

The driver was taken to a hospital, where he is being treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.

The bus was returning from the Mohegon Sun casino in Connecticut when the crash happened early Saturday morning. The driver told police he lost control trying to avoid a swerving tractor-trailer.

Obama shies away from union protests Union leaders urged Vice President Joe Biden during a White House meeting last month to go to Wisconsin and rally the faithful in their fight against Gov. Scott Walker’s move to curtail collective bargaining rights for most public employees.

Request rebuffed, they asked for Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.

So far, however, the White House has stayed away from any trips to Madison, the state capital, or other states in the throes of union battles. The Obama administration is treading carefully on the contentious political issue that has led to a national debate over the power that public sector unions wield in negotiating wages and benefits.

A few labor leaders have complained openly that President Barack Obama is ignoring a campaign pledge he made to stand with unions; most others say his public comments have been powerful enough.

The stakes are high as Obama looks toward a grueling re-election campaign. Republicans have begun airing television ads linking Obama to “union bosses” standing in the way of budget cuts in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states.

As a candidate, Obama seemed to promise more to organized labor, among the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituencies.

Event features issues about environment, buying local

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

From supporting local businesses to cleaning up the Kansas River, an environmental sustainability conference in Kansas City, Kan., featured the voices of Lawrence residents.

This weekend, downtown Kansas City, Kan., was host to the fourth annual Breaking the Silence conference, an event intended to raise environmental literacy.

Kicking off Saturday’s conference was the Lawrence Give Back program, which encourages residents to shop locally by using a card that gives a percentage of proceeds to nonprofit organizations and lets customers earn points toward discounts at participating merchants.

Sara Wolfe, with the Lawrence Give Back program, said the card helps build customer loyalty and allows customers to feel good when making purchases.

It’s a concept conference founder Richard Mabion called genius and one he would like to incorporate into KCK’s downtown.

Laura Calwell, river keeper of the Kansas River, talked about the need to educate people about water quality. Calwell said she was concerned about the number of places along the Kaw where raw sewage is dumped into the river during times when wastewater treatment plants overflow.

Calwell and others talked about ways to test water to make sure they are safe to fish and getting that information to fishermen.

Simran Sethi, an environmental journalist who teaches at Kansas University, also talked about the importance of clean water, air and soil.

On Saturday, Sethi focused on the need for environmental justice. Despite the decades that have passed since the country first recognized that toxic indus-

tries and materials were more likely to be located in lowincome communities of color, the pattern continues, she said.

Environmental issues should be important to everyone, she said.

“The environment doesn’t belong to Prius-driving, lattedrinking liberals only,” Sethi said. “We all need clean water, we all need clean soil so we have healthy food and we all need clean air.”

In ending her speech, Sethi gave advice on how to live more sustainably. Take shorter showers, walk instead of drive, figure out where the clothes that you wear come from and invest in cleaner and greener energy, she said.

“We can’t save the planet in 10 easy steps. This is messy. This is hard work,” Sethi said. “Everything that you do matters and everything that you do will help.”

School board to review closure option mfagan@ljworld.com

State workers, teachers blast gov. over cuts

were formed after eight months of work by the group’s 24 members, all appointed by the school board.

Wakarusa Valley should be closed next year, the task force recommends. The school board has scheduled a formal public hearing March 28 to consider that issue, but Monday’s meeting will give board members an opportunity to share information, ask questions and, inevitably, hear from the public.

Board member Marlene Merrill, for one, plans to at least raise the prospect of closing two schools — that would be Wakarusa Valley, plus either Cordley or Pinckney schools — for next year as a way to help

cover part of an anticipated $3 million revenue cut the district faces for next year.

“I think we need to talk about two schools,” Merrill said.

“Whether we actually close two schools, it depends on how the other six members feel. If we close one, we still have to find $2.5 million.”

Also up for consideration Monday is a contract with Instant Shade, a landscaping contractor, for $16,679 to provide additional landscaping at Lawrence High School’s baseball and softball venues, to help shield neighbors from lights.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget cuts will hurt public schools and low-paid state employees, representatives of those groups said.

On Friday, Brownback ordered $56.5 million in cuts after fellow Republican budget negotiators in the Legislature couldn’t reach an agreement on how to balance the state budget for the remaining part of the f iscal year, which ends June 30.

Brownback LEGISLATURE said the cuts were needed to bring the budget into balance by the end of the fiscal year as required by law.

“These are certainly difficult times and difficult choices must be made. We must return fiscal sanity to government,” he said.

The Legislature faces a deeper shortfall for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, of nearly $500 million.

Of that $56.5 million in cuts, Brownback sliced schools by $50.2 million.

“Making public schools great for every child is not on this governor’s agenda,” said Blake West, president of the Kansas National Education Association.

Referring to Brownback’s “Roadmap for Kansas,” which the governor proposed during his campaign, West said, “It seems Gov. Brownback’s ‘Roadmap for Education’ is an unpaved path taking our students back to the 19th century.”

Jane Carter, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, criticized Brownback for cutting $1.3 million from state employees who were found through a state study to be severely underpaid and were given a market adjustment.

“It is disappointing that everyone who received a market adjustment for this current fiscal year 2011 back on July 1, 2010, will get a pay cut from their already inadequate paychecks,” Carter said. “This move is clearly an assault on state employees and an indication that our budget shortfalls will be passed off onto the public servants of the state.”

This is the first time students have built a permanent structure on KU’s campus.

Along with a rain garden and green roof, the new KU building will have windows that can tint in the summer to keep the building cool and open in the winter to warm it.

To help track energy consumption, the building will be outf itted with smart meters from Westar Energy.

The smart meter will give detailed hourly readings on how much energy is being used and can communicate with appliances and lighting systems.

The Center for Design Research will pull from across the university — including those in engineering, design, architecture and business — to create sustainable technologies and practices. Along with providing a place for research and teaching, the center will be opened to the public.

And Rockhill believes the public will be interested.

While working on the arts center for Greensburg, the class had to put a sign on the door to keep people out of the basement where they were working on sustainable features.

“We are taking the basement of Greensburg and putting it on display,” Rockhill said.

those with mental disabilities, the program makes mass phone calls to alert neighbors about a missing person.

In the Ottawa case, calls went out to residents in a two-mile radius and provided details about what the man was wearing and when he last was seen.

Shortly after the calls went out, neighbors began arriving at the man’s home to assist in the search.

One of the first teams in the field found the man in a creek about a half-mile from his home. The man was conscious and alert but starting to suffer from hypothermia.

“Without the use of A Child Is Missing network and the reverse call, we wouldn’t have found him as quickly as we did,” Ottawa Police Lt. Adam Weingartner said.

“Certainly the outcome could have been much different if we went longer.”

By the time the man was found, the police had 40 people searching and another 20 people waiting for assignments.

This was the first successful recovery the Ottawa police had while using the phone system. It’s also one of 819 safe recoveries across the country connected with the A Child Is Missing program.

AN OLD AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH shows the Chamney dairy farm on what is now Kansas University’s West Campus. KU architecture students in Studio 804 are currently building the Center for Design Research, located near properties on the old farm.

They have been working around the clock so the building will be finished by graduation weekend in May. Rockhill calls it an ambitious goal.

To reach that goal, students aren’t just swinging hammers. They also are working phone banks in the hopes of finding potential investors and those willing to donate materials.

A building like the one Studio 804 is constructing would cost between $700,000 and $800,000 for materials. Rockhill hopes to do it for $275,000.

These students are learning on the job. While many have spent the past few years designing buildings on paper,

they haven’t ever constructed them.

“It’s taking everything we have learned and taking it to the whole next level,” KU graduate student Justin McGeeney said. “Every day there are new problems that we have never thought of before.”

Graduate student Kirsten Oschwald said it’s exciting to see the building come to life.

“Designing on paper is all we have been doing for about the last four or five years of school,” she said. “To actually physically make what you have designed is pretty unique and special.”

it became available to Kansas law enforcement agencies.

So far, more than 100 Kansas law enforcement agencies have signed up, which just requires an agency to provide a letter of participation and training.

No software programs or extra phone lines are needed, said Claudia Corrigan, vice president of A Child Is Missing.

The mass phone calls, Corrigan said, are the equivalent of squad cars coming into a neighborhood, officers jumping out of them and starting to knock on doors.

“We are able to make a thousand calls in less than a minute,” Corrigan said. “It is huge.”

The school district has a reverse call system in place to alert parents about school closings and meetings, Bradford said.

Thanks to a partnership with the Lawrence Pilot Club, the sheriff’s office is participating in a program called Project Lifesaver. To help locate people who are at a high risk of wandering, such as those with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism and Down syndrome, a small radio transmitter is attached to a bracelet that the person would wear.

The sheriff ’s off ice is trained on how to use equipment that picks up the transmitter’s signal. Of course, for the program to work, the person has to be wearing the bracelet.

To get the word out on a missing person, the Lawrence Police Department relies on media outlets, their websites and a city distribution list that residents can sign up for to receive e-mails on city events.

A Child Is Missing network might be something the city should consider, Sgt. Matt Sarna noted in an e-mail.

“Any tool that we could use to locate missing children, individuals with disabilities or the elderly can do nothing but benefit the community as a whole and assist the officers investigating,” he wrote.

HUTCHINSON — The Reno County district attorney is asking that a man who refused to testify in a murder trial be sentenced to nine years in prison on three contempt charges.

District Attorney Keith Schroeder says Jose Delacruz, 35, should serve the sentence after a seven-year term for aggravated robbery.

Delacruz was convicted in December of aggravated robbery but acquitted of firstdegree murder in the death of 33-year-old Joshua Haines. His body was found in April 2010 in his parked car in Hutchinson.

Last week, Delacruz refused three times to obey a judge’s order to testify against a codefendant, 26-year-old Anthony Waller, who was charged with first-degree murder in Haines’ death. Waller was found guilty.

These days, particularly with so many foreclosures on the market, ordering an inspection when you’ve made an offer is not only recommended, it’s critical.

Otherwise, you’re relying on the seller (in some cases, the bank) to provide you with a list of defects.

An inspection provides an objective report about the home’s exterior, interior, and “internal organs” - the wiring, the plumbing, the heating and cooling system, etc. While your agent may supply a list of recommended inspectors, you are free to select any professional you wish.

The seller and their representative will not see the report without your permission. The inspection of a 2,000 square foot home should take two to

three hours to complete, and once the report has been delivered to you, you can discuss the findings with the inspector.

Expect your home inspector to walk the roof and explore the attic and crawlspace (if present). Electrical panels, outlets and switches will be tested. Drains, water pressure, toilets and pipes will all be checked in the plumbing system. Walls, ceilings and floors will be inspected and all the doors and windows will be checked for functionality.

All the items in the report will depend on the particular home’s features, but the findings give you an opportunity to estimate repair costs and renegotiate your offer. Never bypass this critical aspect of a purchase.

Q:

Is it legal to check out a DVD or CD from the library and copy it to your computer for personal use?

WRITTEN BY NORMAN SNIDER DIRECTED BY GEORGE HICKENLOOPER

A:

Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, said he didn’t think it would be legal, and a local attorney agreed.

“It is my understanding that that would not be legal,” Flanders said. “It’s the same as going to a photocopier and copying an entire book.” He said doing that would go beyond the boundaries of fair use.

answer when one of the questions referred to some of the educational programs that would be cut as â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluff.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think mentoring teachers is fluff ?

The event was the second of three Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Eggs and Issues planned for the legislative session, though the final event has yet to be scheduled.

Hank Booth, the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government and community affairs director, said the recent activity in Topeka has created an extra need for

dialogue between lawmakers and the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many things,â&#x20AC;? Booth said.

But education funding and the looming battles over how to deal with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly $500 million revenue shortfall highlighted the event.

Hensley, who on Friday criticized Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education funding cut, said the state has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a difficult challenge ahead of us. We know that 2012 is going to be very difficult.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

Student Senate may change how it funds

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As Kansas University’s Student Senate is making funding choices for all kinds of student fees, its members are looking to change how the group funds social services in Lawrence.

Four Lawrence agencies receive Student Senate funds: GaDuGi SafeCenter, Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters Counseling Center and Willow Domestic Violence Center.

All receive funding in twoyear cycles from the Senate’s activity fee. This year, senators are recommending that three of the organizations receive funding at nearly the same levels, but for only one year. A fourth, the Willow Domestic Violence Center, had its funding of $4,000 brought down to a recommended level of zero.

The recommendations from the Senate’s finance committee would have to be approved by the full Student Senate at its meeting Wednesday.

A Facebook group has been formed to rally support for the organizations and urge that funding be continued. It is at

www.facebook.com/event.ph p?eid=139812462753121.

Senators have said they’re not against funding the organizations but are looking for new ways to finance them.

Mark Pacey, a graduate student senator and chairman of the Senate’s finance committee, said he supported the formation of a task force that would consider alternative funding sources for these organizations.

As it stands now, the organizations are funded by the same student activity fee that funds student groups such as the marching band, Pacey said.

“From my point of view, I don’t want to have to make my committee members decide between suicide hot lines or tubas,” he said.

Pacey said that perhaps some other fee could be instituted to fund the organizations and that he didn’t know of many senators who thought that funding should be completely eliminated.

Sarah Jane Russell, director of the GaDuGi SafeCenter, said she appreciated the sentiments that she heard at the finance committee meeting from some senators to continue funding the organizations.

Marcia Epstein, director of the Headquarters Counseling Center, said she hoped that senators understood the effect their decisions had on the center, which provides 24-hour suicide prevention counseling services. The activity fee provides $36,200 of the center’s $223,000 annual expenses.

And last year, Headquarters had to dip into reserves to continue operating, Epstein said, meaning it has to raise more private funds to continue its existing level of service.

She said it wasn’t her place to say how the funds should be allocated but she hoped to provide student senators with information on how students depend on Headquarters services and what happens if they aren’t funded.

The consequences are major, she said, for organizations like hers, particularly if the Senate were to decide to remove funding completely.

“We can’t guarantee we’d be open in December without that money,” she said.

So it’s no wonder that statehouse discussions have turned to whether it makes financial sense to privatize some governmental functions. Some legislators are pushing proposals that would require the state to undertake two yearlong studies focused on outsourcing government functions.

One proposal calls for setting up an 11-member council on privatization that would look at the issue and report to the 2012 session of the Legislature. The House has approved establishment of such a committee; the Senate has taken no action. Legislators who support the move say it has the backing of Gov. Sam Brownback. Creation of the council has drawn criticism in some circles from folks worried about actually growing government.

The privatization idea also is stretching to higher education.

Rep. Joe McLeland, R-Wichita, wants the Kansas Board of Regents to look at everything from selling or leasing residence halls to contracting with private companies to provide janitorial services on campuses. McLeland believes the regents institutions should focus their energies and their dollars on their primary mission: educating students.

On its face, outsourcing government functions to the private sector appears to be a logical move. It’s often said that business can do things more efficiently — faster and for less money — than government can. Outsourcing sometimes works well, as it did a number of years ago when Kansas University achieved significant savings by privatizing its printing service.

However, the move to privatization could bring some unintended consequences, including the possibility of increased cronyism, as the state gets into the business of awarding huge contracts. It would require significant oversight to ensure that lawmakers and others in state government were not repaying political favors as they awarded governmental contracts.

A move to privatization would have a significant impact on a large portion of the work forces in Lawrence, Topeka and other Kansas communities where government jobs are plentiful. There’s also the question of how the state would ensure that private contractors provide an acceptable level of service for jobs currently performed by state employees, over whom the state has direct responsibility.

If the prime motivation for privatizing government duties is money, why can’t state government show some self-discipline and save money by tightening its own belt and finding efficiencies? Rather than just turning the job over to private companies in the hope of saving money, maybe the state would be better off taking direct action to save taxpayers money by making its own operations more efficient.

Health care arguments miss the point W A S H I N G T O N — When the Supreme Court considers whether Congress has the constitutional power to compel individuals to buy health insurance, the argument supporting Congress may rest on a non sequitur and a semantic fiat. A judge’s recent ruling argues that the insurance mandate must be constitutional because Obamacare would collapse without it. A forthcoming law review article agrees with this and with the judge’s idea that, regarding commerce, being inactive is an activity.

Obamacare does indeed require the mandate: Because the law requires insurance companies to sell coverage to people regardless of their pre-existing conditions, many people might delay buying insurance until they become sick. But is the fact that the mandate is crucial to the law’s functioning dispositive?

U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler’s ruling that the mandate is constitutional conflates moral, policy and constitutional considerations. She says people who choose “not to purchase health insurance will benefit greatly when they become ill, as they surely will, from the free health care which must be provided by emergency rooms and hospitals to the sick and dying who show up on their doorstep.” So “those who choose not to purchase health insurance will ultimately get a ‘free ride’ on the backs of those Americans who have made responsible choices to provide for the illness we all must face.”

Her disapproval is neither a legal argument nor pertinent to

Does the mandate “acquire derivative consti-

tutionality merely by Congress making the mandate necessary for something Congress wants to do in the exercise of the enumerated power of regulating interstate commerce?”

one. The question remains: Does Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce entitle it to create a health care regime that requires the mandate?

Mark Hall of Wake Forest University, in an article for the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, says there would be constitutional “uncertainty over the mandate in isolation.” But it is “inextricably intertwined” with Obamacare’s “other insurance regulations” — e.g., those pertaining to pre-existing conditions — “which indisputably are constitutional.” So the “strongest defense” of Congress’ power to enact the mandate is “the acknowledged undesirability, if not impossibility” of the regula-

tions regarding pre-existing conditions, absent the mandate.

Hall says the mandate “meets a high threshold of necessity to accomplish the overall reform scheme, clearly within congressional power, to create a market structure in which no one is ever again medically uninsurable.” But unless we postulate that Congress has whatever power is required to create such a market structure, this question remains: Does the fact that Congress has the constitutional power to do X — say, guarantee universal access to insurance — make Y constitutional merely because Y is necessary for doing X? Congress has the constitutional power to combat political corruption, the “appearance” thereof, and the “circumvention” of laws for this purpose. But suppose Congress, exercising this power by regulating campaign finances, decides that abridging freedom of speech is necessary for its anti-corruption measures. This necessity, defined by this preference, does not make such abridgement constitutional.

The Supreme Court said as much concerning McCain-Feingold.

The mandate’s defenders note that the Constitution says Congress has the power to “make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution” its enumerated powers, one of which is to regulate interstate commerce. “Necessary and proper.” An unconstitutional law is improper.

Does the mandate acquire derivative constitutionality merely by Congress making the mandate necessary for something Congress wants to do in the exercise of the enumerated

power of regulating interstate commerce? If so, what would not acquire such constitutionality?

Madison’s constitutional architecture for limited government will be vitiated unless the court places some limits on what constitutes commerce eligible for regulation. So the question becomes: Is the inactivity of not buying insurance a commercial activity Congress can proscribe because it has economic consequences?

Hall says it is unclear what constitutes “pure inaction.” But virtually nothing qualifies as “pure” inactivity if, as he says, “the passivity of non-purchasing decisions does not rob them of their inherently economic nature.” Judge Kessler disdains the distinction between activity and inactivity as “of little significance.” Her Orwellian theory is that government can regulate the activity — the mental activity — of choosing not to participate in a commercial activity.

Hall perfunctorily says “some limit” on Congress’ commerce power “is necessary” but then says “democratic electoral constraint” — trusting “the political process itself to set limits” — will suffice to restrain government.

The question about the mandate is, however, whether a political institution has traduced constitutional limits placed on it. Because the Framers prudently doubted the sufficiency of “democratic electoral constraint” — because they were wary about “the political process” policing itself — the Constitution was written.

About 6,000 overdue books had been turned in during the Lawrence YEARS Public Library’s AGO recent fine-free IN 1986 “amnesty week.”

One return that gave some amusement to the workers was a book on procrastination that had been due two years earlier. Mary Paretsky, the head of the children’s department, was particularly happy to get back several books that had been checked out of the bookmobile program.

Demographics create new victims There is a scholarship for students who wear outfits made of duct tape to their proms. David Letterman offers a scholarship for kids with average grades. There are scholarships for students who vote Democrat — or Republican — scholarships for students who have cancer, diabetes, sickle cell, autism or Tourette’s, students named Zolp, students who are blind, deaf, vegan, Arizonan, left handed, low income, African-, Hispanic-, Native-, Asianor woman-American.

So it’s hard to get worked up over a new scholarship for students who are white men.

It is offered by the Texas-based Former Majority Association for Equality, which would want you to know that it is not motivated by racism. Indeed, its mission statement reads in part: “We do not advocate white supremacy, nor do we enable any individual that does. We do not accept donations from organizations affiliated with any sort of white supremacy or hate group. We have no hidden agenda to promote racial bigotry or segregation.”

I take them at their word and wish them godspeed. But though I have no ax to grind against them, the FMAE’s modest ($500 each for five needy students) scholarship does serve as a fascinating sign of our times. Leaving aside those motivated by whimsy (a duct tape prom dress?), one of the reasons scholarships exist is to help those who, by dint of faith, gender, ethnicity or race, find themselves overmatched when competing against the mainstream. Mainstream being defined as white and male.

The FMAE scholarship suggests

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

While such fundamental change will challenge every American, it seems to have already panicked some of those Americans for whom being a minority will be a new experience.”

the mainstream itself is beginning to feel a little overmatched. Indeed, one need not travel far these days to encounter signs of acute anxiety emanating from the nation’s white majority, a visceral sense of dislocation and lost privilege.

You see it in the hysterical (in both senses of the word) reaction to the election of the first black president. You see it in the spike in the number of hate groups. You see it in the screeching that passes for debate on illegal immigration and in the clangor that seems to confront any Muslim who seeks to build a mosque anywhere. You see it in the apocalyptic rantings of Glenn Beck and in the peevish mutterings of Rush Limbaugh.

You see it also in a 2010 survey by the Washington-based Public Religion Research Institute, which found that 44 percent of us believe bigotry against WHITES

is a significant problem.

Among tea party followers, the number rises to 61 percent.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think white kids were being funneled into the criminal justice system in obscenely disproportionate numbers (as black ones are) or that the unemployment rate among white workers stood at 15.3 percent (as it does nationally among blacks). But if the perceptions of four in 10 Americans and six in 10 tea partiers suggest estrangement from objective reality, they also suggest a certain ability to read the writing on the demographic wall.

The Census Bureau says that within 40 years, there will no longer be such a thing as a racial majority. All of us will be minorities. While such fundamental change will challenge every American, it seems to have already panicked some of those Americans for whom being a minority will be a new experience.

Sympathy is in order. It cannot be easy to go from being lead actor to a member of the ensemble — from Gladys Knight to a Pip, as it were. Thus we find ourselves in this odd new paradigm. Those who have felt marginalized by the color of their skin, the name of their God, the double-X of their chromosomes, find themselves joined in their choirs of the put upon by newcomers who feel marginalized by the loss of their primacy.

Nobody knows the trouble they’ve seen. And, Lord have mercy, we’re all victims now.

Riding a bay Tennessee walker named Buck, endurance horseYEARS man Orville FleshAGO man had started IN 1971 out on horseback from his home in Cuba, Mo., on Feb. 20 and was ”ahead of schedule” when he visited Lawrence over the weekend.

He had been averaging 42 miles per day on his journey to Calgary, Alberta. He reported that he was impressed with the “friendly majority” in Lawrence in spite of an anxious moment when he had been approached by two “hippie types” as he rode into town. The two had asked him if they could ride his horse, and when he declined to allow them, they “got a whip, with flowers on it, from their car and one of them hit him across the head.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 13, 1911: YEARS “The ‘sling shot’ AGO season is on in full IN 1911 blast in Lawrence among the small boys. This is one of the reliable signs of approaching spring and its early arrival this year indicates that winter is about over. The ammunition most commonly used in these weapons is shot of various sizes, peas, beans, and small pebbles. Mothers have already begun to phone the school teachers telling of black and blue spots which their young hopeful brings home on his legs.

“SCHOOL TROUBLES. Because she used profane and abusive language to two Lawrence teachers on February 23, Mrs. Mamie Dimery, 832 New Jersey, was arrested this morning. Mrs. Dimery is colored and has children attending the local schools. She objected to the treatment being accorded them by the teachers so called and expressed her idea in an emphatic but uncomplimentary manner.”

Abusive spouse should not be tolerated

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Ralph” for 14 years. I have one daughter from a previous relationship, and Ralph and I have six together. My oldest daughter is now 18, but Ralph became physically abusive of her starting when she was 9. I was always afraid to stop it because I thought he would turn on me. He has been verbally abusive of me for the past 10 years. When he hurt our 3-year-old son, I told him to stop, but he threatened to harm me if I stood up to him again.

Ralph insults our kids, and they have been afraid of him for years. This past summer, we went on vacation with his family, and this is when he physically assaulted me. Our children were terrified, and I didn’t know what to do.

I’ve had two miscarriages, survived thyroid cancer, had a partial hysterectomy and am now being watched for breast cancer. I help Ralph run his business, and I do everything for the kids. He does nothing.

We have gone for counseling, but it hasn’t helped, and now I have panic attacks. I love my husband, but don’t think I can handle living with him anymore. He won’t go for anger management counseling, saying he doesn’t “fit into that category.”

I don’t have a job yet, although I am almost done

Dear Annie: I recently invited my friend “Alice” to join me on a trip. She declined, saying she needed to save her money.

Upon returning from my trip, I discovered that Alice had gone away with another friend on a much more expensive trip that same weekend.

better proposal. (It is also possible that someone subsidized the more expensive trip and made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.) Regardless, the situation has damaged your friendship. You need to let her know that you are disappointed she didn’t trust you enough to be honest. Let her explain herself so you can decide whether you can forgive her.

Dear Lone: Alice lied to you, either because she didn’t with my degree. Ralph reads want to go with you or she your column. Please help him didn’t want you to know that see what needs to be done. — she had already accepted a Lost and Confused Dear Lost: We hope you see this before Ralph does. This message is for you. Get out.

Your husband is an abuser who is not interested in making the difficult changes necessary to improve the lives of his family. Why should he?

There are no consequences for him. Meanwhile, you are allowing this terrible situation to continue while teaching your children how to behave like their father, and that they deserve to be abused. If you won’t leave for yourself, do it for them. They need you to be strong enough to protect them. Please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799SAFE (1-800-799-7233) and find out how to get out safely.

‘Bracketology’ reveals who’s in, out of NCAA Tournament March Madness begins in earnest with “Bracketology” (7 p.m., ESPN), an exhaustive look at the teams and seeds and rivalries in the NCAA finals. The documentary “Fab Five” (9 p.m., Sunday, ESPN) follows, recalling the University of Michigan teams of the 1990s Led by Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and Juwan Howard. ● If YouTube has taught us anything, it’s that people never tire of watching animals doing silly things, often while wearing funny little outfits. Add talking, anthropomorphized characters and punch lineheavy dialogue to that mix and you’ve got “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” (8 p.m., ABC Family), the made-forcable sequel to the 2008 Disney big-screen hit. George Lopez returns to voice the big-hearted but diminutive Papi.

Don’t go listening for Drew Barrymore or Jamie Lee Curtis, whose voices appeared in the original “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” (7 p.m.). But this sequel has a remarkable cast providing voices for the four-legged set, including Olivia NewtonJohn, Ernie Hudson, French Stewart and Emily Osment.

Few genres remain as critic-proof as the talking-dog picture. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any cuter, Papi’s new bride, Chloe (Odette Yustman), gives birth to puppies. ● A week before the finale of the fictional HBO series “Big Love,” the reality series “Sister Wives” (8 p.m., TLC) enters its second season. This follows the polygamous marriage between Kody Brown and his four wives. While season 1 focused on his introduction of spouse No. 4 into the mix, this season parallels “Big Love” as Kody and company come under legal scrutiny for their illegal lifestyle.

It’s interesting that “Big Love’s” makebelieve patriarch, Bill Henricksen (Bill Paxton), has emerged as a three-dimensional and often tragic figure, while reallife Kody has the shallow, self-satisfied veneer of a televangelist or game-show host.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Logo design looms large on “America’s Next Great Restaurant” (7 p.m., NBC). ● The mayor’s victory is tempered by Newark’s fiscal crises on the season finale of “Brick City” (7 p.m., Sundance). ● Time for a lockdown on “Big Love” (9 p.m., HBO). ● A select hunting club preys on humans on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Luc offers advice on “Brothers and Sisters” (10 p.m., ABC).

Series notes Provincial China proves challenging on “Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS) ... Cheech and Chong guest star (as themselves) on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox) ... Down and out in Detroit on “Secret Millionaire” (7 p.m., ABC) ... B&B blues on “Bob’s Burgers” (7:30 p.m., Fox) ... A shipping lines boss feels overpacked on “Undercover Boss” (9 p.m., CBS) ... Peter witnesses a no-no on “Family Guy” (8 p.m., Fox) ...

Gabrielle spills her secrets on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC)
