Kraken up at SAFE BASE

Expansion a done deal?

Maybe not

Sharks are out. Squid are in.

For the past several years, the after-school program SAFE BASE has celebrated Shark Week. Elementary school students from kindergarten to sixth grade covered everything shark, such as the design of their bodies, how fast they swim and their diet. They even learned about the prehistoric, giant megalodon — a dinosaur shark.

But, as director Angela Henry pointed out, just 5% of the ocean has been discovered. There’s a lot more to learn, so SAFE BASE is moving on to squid instead.

This is “Giant Squid Week.”

FOURTH, fifth and sixth grade students got an intimate look at the innards of a squid during a dissection activity Wednesday at Jefferson Elementary School.

TOPEKA, Kansas — Medicaid expansion is a done deal, right?

Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and Jim Denning, the second most powerful Republican in the Kansas Senate, have compromised on a plan. Together, they bring a majority of lawmakers with them. So, game over.

Sure, the deal still needs to clear the Legislature and get the blessing of federal regulators. But the hard part — breaking an almost decade-long stalemate on the issue — looks done.

Expansion supporters finally have reason to believe that an estimated 130,000 to 150,000 more low-income Kansans will soon have taxpayer-funded health coverage.

Probably. But not necessarily.

A relatively small but committed group of lawmakers could still slow — theoretically, even kill — the deal. Simply amending the Medicaid expansion legislation to pick apart the terms

History: Mount Vesuvius blast turned brain to glass MILAN (AP) — The eruption of Mount Vesuvius turned an incinerated victim’s brain material into glass, the first time scientists have verified the phenomenon from a volcanic blast, officials at the Herculaneum archaeology site said Thursday.

Archaeologists rarely recover human brain tissue, and when they do it is normally smooth and soapy in consistency, according to an article detailing the discovery in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 instantly killed the inhabitants of Pompeii and neighboring Herculaneum, burying an area 12 miles

The study suggests that extreme radiant heat was able to ignite body fat and vaporize soft tissue. from the volcano in ash in just a few hours.

The remains of a man lying on a wooden bed were discovered at Herculaneum, closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii, in the 1960s. He is believed to have been the custodian of a place of worship, the Collegium Augustalium.

A team led by Pier Paolo Petrone, a foren-

sic anthropologist at the Federico II University in Naples, determined that the victim’s brain matter had been vitrified, a process by which tissue is burned at a high heat and turned into glass, according to the study published by the New England Journal of Medicine. The fragments presented as shards of shiny black material spotted within remnants of the victim’s skull.

A study of the charred wood nearby indicates a maximum temperature of 968 degrees Fahrenheit. “‘This suggests that extreme radiant heat was able to ignite body fat and vaporize soft tis-

sue,’’ the study said.

The resulting solidified spongy mass found in the victim’s chest bones is also unique among other archaeological sites and can be compared with victims of more recent historic events like the firebombing of Dresden and Hamburg in World War II, the article said.

The flash of extreme heat was followed by a rapid drop in temperatures, which vitrified the brain material, the authors said. ‘’This is the first time ever that vitrified human brain remains have been discovered resulting from heat produced by an eruption,’’ Herculaneum officials said.

secting, not mutilating,” SAFE BASE instructor Wanda Kneen warned them.

In groups of three, students first popped out the two eyeballs on each side of the squid’s head. Unlike human eyes, the lenses were very hard.

“I like the eyes. They were really interesting,” Izzy Tyson said.

Next, they cut off the eight arms and two longer tentacles. The squid uses the long tentacles to grab food and pull it into the mouth.

Students dug into the base of the arms for the squid’s mouth and removed it, then searched for the beak. The beak breaks food into tiny particles.

“It really does look a lot like a bird’s beak,” Lily Lohman said, carefully pressing the hard black beak with her finger.

They used scissors to cut through the long body, called the mantle.

They opened it to reveal the inner workings of the squid, including the gills, three hearts, a feather-shaped internal shell called a “pen,” and an ink sack. The squid uses ink as a defense mechanism, squirting it into a murky cloud to confuse predators and swim away.

Some students, of course, promptly forgot

about Kneen’s warning.

They dug into the ink sack, dipped the end of the feather-like pen into the ink and wrote messages on their cardboard dissection platform.

The smell of formaldehyde mixed with fish wafted through the classroom and into the hallway, where it met the equally appealing aroma of fried calamari.

In another classroom, instructor Cindy Williams chopped off squid tentacles and sliced mantles into rings. She mixed them with flour and spices, then dropped the pieces into hot oil.

Students sampled both the rings and the tentacles. The rings were more rubbery, they decided. They liked the tentacles better.

Overall, most students said they enjoyed the fried calamari.

Austin Nelson said he’s eaten calamari at a restaurant before, and he really liked the fried calamari. He thought frying squid in oil made it less rubbery and more flavorful.

Nelson is a big fan of science, so he especially enjoyed “Giant Squid Week.”

“It’s so interesting the way things work. When I have an opportunity to learn, I take it. That’s why I like SAFE BASE,” he said.

Migrant caravan crosses into Mexico

By PETER ORSI The Associated Press

CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Hundreds of Central American migrants crossed the river into Mexico from Guatemala Thursday after a dayslong standoff with security forces.

Carrying U.S. and Honduran flags at the head of the procession, they walked along a highway toward a waiting contingent of dozens of national guardsmen with riot shields and body armor and vans from the National Immigration Institute.

Jose Luis Morales, a Salvadoran leader of the caravan, said the migrants want to negotiate to be allowed to pass peacefully.

But Mexico has cracked down on the large caravans seen previously following intense pressure from Washington last year.

Thursday’s movement was a resurgence of a migrant caravan that had been diminishing since its last concerted attempt to cross the border

• Squid tentacles feature circular suckers with razor-sharp teeth.

Whales have been found with large circular scars after encounters with squid.

• The longest squid measures about 43 feet, though there have been unverified reports of squid 60- and 70-feet long. For comparison’s sake, the average length of a school bus is 30 feet.

• The giant squid’s eyeball is 10.5 inches in diameter, or about the size of a frisbee.

• Squid tentacles can regenerate.

• Giant squid live in dark, deep sea waters, so they’re very elusive.

The first images of a live giant squid weren’t taken until 2004.

• The colossal squid is larger than the giant squid. It’s not as long as the giant squid, but it is heavier, with larger eyeballs and swiveling hooks on its tentacles.

• The giant squid and colossal squid are the largest living invertebrates.

Monday was turned back by Mexican National Guardsmen posted along Suchiate river, which forms the border here.

The national guardsmen awaited the caravan outside the community of Frontera Hidalgo, near Ciudad Hidalgo where the migrants crossed the Suchiate river at dawn.

Mexico began flying and busing members of the caravan back to Honduras on Tuesday.

Seven more buses left Mexico for Honduras on Wednesday, carrying 240 migrants back home, and two flights left with an additional 220 Hondurans, Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said. By Wednesday, the number of people outside the Casa del Migrante in Tecun Uman was perhaps half of what it was at its peak Sunday night.

In previous caravans, Mexican authorities have allowed caravans to walk for awhile, seemingly to tire them out, and then closed their path.

Kansas Supreme Court dismisses judges’ lawsuit chronically underfinanced the judicial branch. It asked the court to force legislators to consider funding “independent of unrelated political agendas.”

Legislators last year approved a $149 million annual budget for the court system, but the Supreme Court is pushing for an increase of $18 million, or 12%, mostly to boost salaries. Luckert herself said in an interview last month that the increase would be only the “tip of the iceberg” in meeting the judiciary’s needs.

But the Supreme Court said in its order that the need to balance protecting the court system’s independence with lawmakers’ “power to control the purse” would result in complex litigation that would “likely take significant time to resolve.” Allowing the lawsuit to continue would hinder work with legislators to finance the judiciary, the order said.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican, said in a statement: “The court should no more decide the size of its own budget than the Legislature should decide the constitutionality of the laws it enacts.”

The district judges suing the Legislature included Robert Frederick of Finney County in southwest Kansas; Steven Hornbaker of Geary County in northeast Kansas; Michael Powers in Marion County in central Kansas; and Merlin Wheeler of Lyon County in eastern Kansas.

Frederick, Powers and Wheeler are the chief administrative judges in their judicial districts.

Two other judges joined them, identified only as John Doe #1 and John Doe #2. Also joining them was an administrative assistant identified only as Jane Doe #1.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ high court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit over funding for the state’s court system filed by six trial-court judges against the Republican-controlled Legislature.

The state Supreme Court said in a short order signed by Chief Justice Marla Luckert that it’s “confident” that allegations of underfunding the court system are best handled through “cooperation” with the state’s legislative and executive branches.

“Accordingly, we are mindful of the good-faith, civil commitments we must necessarily make not to encroach on the Legislature’s budget-making province, within constitutional boundaries,” the order said.

The lawsuit threatened to complicate an often tense relationship between the courts and the Legislature. It came after a ruling from the Supreme Court last year protecting abortion rights, years of legal battles over funding for the state’s public schools and multiple rulings forcing lawmakers to boost education funding.

House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican, said the decision to dismiss the lawsuit signaled “a good day for Kansas.”

“I appreciate the court’s recognition of sep aration of powers and their renewed commitment to open communication,” Ryckman said in a statement.

Attorneys for the judges who sued did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

The lawsuit was filed directly with the Supreme Court and alleged state lawmakers have

Ruling: ‘Ag gag’ unconstitutional

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Provisions in a Kansas law that ban the secret filming at slaughterhouses and other livestock facilities unconstitutionally criminalize free speech, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil mostly sided with a coalition of animal rights and consumer protection groups which had challenged the state’s “AgGag” law, which was enacted in 1990. The law makes it a crime for anyone to take a picture or video at animal facilities without the owner’s consent or to enter them under false pretenses.

The regulation of speech is not viewpoint-neutral because it only applies to speech that is made with intent to damage the enterprise conducted at an animal facility, Vratil wrote.

The litigation, filed in December 2018 i n U.S. District Court in Kansas, was brought by the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Center for Food Safety, Shy 38 Inc., and Hope Sanctuary. It names Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and Attorney

General Derek Schmidt as defendants.

“We are carefully reviewing the court’s decision and will work to determine the appropriate next steps,” said Clint Blaes, spokesman for the attorney general’s office.

In a 39-page split decision the judge summarily ruled that a key section of the Kansas Farm Animal and Field Crop and Research Facilities Protect Act “plainly targets negative views about animal facilities and therefore discriminates based on viewpoint.”

The judge based her ruling on a “strict scrutiny” reading of the law, which allows a content-based speech restriction only if it is necessary to serve a compelling interest and are narrowly tailored to achieve that end.

In declaring those portions of the law unconstitutional, Vratil said the state did not attempt to justify those provisions.

The state only argued that they are a reasonable way to protect animal facility owners’ privacy and property rights and did not assert a compelling interest in protect-

ing those rights.

But even if they had, the state still did not meet its burden because the law did not prevent everyone from violating the property and privacy rights of animal facilities owners — only those who violate those rights with intent to damage the enterprise at the animal facility, she said.

Undercover operations, which expose unsafe and inhumane conditions, are a crucial form of free speech, the lawsuit argues.

It contends such investigations have revealed information about animal cruelty, unsafe food handling practices, environmental hazards and inhumane working conditions.

Similar laws in Utah and Idaho have been struck down as unconstitutional violations of the First Amendment, and litigation is pending in several other states.

Vratil found the groups had no legal standing to sue over some of the other provisions of the same law that prohibit physically damaging or destroying an animal facility because the groups’ investigators had not alleged they intended to engage in that conduct.

Northeast Kansas dispatcher in hot water LEAWOOD, Kan. (AP) — A dispatcher with the Leawood Police Department has been charged with four felonies after she allegedly shared confidential information with people not authorized to receive it, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation an-

Kallie R. Turnbow, 39, of Olathe, was arrested Tuesday. She was charged with four felony counts of unlawful acts concerning computers and four misdemeanor counts of official misconduct, The Kansas City Star reported.

of the compromise could do the trick.

Their first chance comes today when the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee was to start hearings on the compromise bill.

Republican Sen. Gene Suellentrop chairs the committee, where expansion opponents hold a numbers advantage they don’t have in the full Senate. Suellentrop expects them to tack on several amendments.

It’s their chance to weigh in on that KellyDenning bargain, or what he calls a “kind of a side-negotiated deal.”

HERE are four things

that opponents could add to upset the carefully balanced compromise: A work requirement: Conservatives say requiring non-disabled adults to get a job or

prove they’re looking for one promotes accountability. Kelly says studies show that work requirements cost too much to run and mistakenly deny coverage to some. Federal regulators and the courts have blocked work requirements in some states.

Higher premiums: Under the compromise, people earning between 100% and 138% of the federal poverty level ($25,750 to $35,535 for a family of four) would need to pay monthly premiums. Up to $25 for individuals, no more than $100 for a family.

Increasing those premiums could jeopardize federal approval and land the state in court.

Non-payment penalties: Previous expansion plans would have penalized people for not their premiums by “locking them out” of cover302 S. Washington, PO Box 767, Iola, KS 66749 (620) 365-2111

age. Lockout periods in those proposals ranged from several months to a lifetime. Kelly and expansion supporters oppose such penalties and say they could also jeopardize federal approval.

Partial coverage: The position Denning started with would have expanded Medicaid only to those at or below the poverty line. He proposed subsidies for those making up to the eligibility threshold to help them purchase regular health insurance on

the federal (Obamacare) exchange. Arguing that federal regulators would reject the two-tier approach, Kelly persuaded Denning to abandon the idea.

Expansion supporters say they’re prepared to strip such deal-changers out during debate on the Senate floor. With 22 of the Senate’s 40 members signed on as cosponsors of the bill, they’re confident they have the votes to clean it up.

Even so, Denning is concerned about efforts

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Limits of presidential power are what hang in the balance Senate Republicans on Tuesday were laying the groundwork for a truncated trial of President Trump that would be a perversion of justice. Proposals by Democrats to obtain critical evidence were voted down. Unless several senators change their positions, votes to acquit Mr. Trump on the House’s charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress could come as soon as next week without any testimony by witnesses or review of key documents. That would be unprecedented compared with previous presidential impeachments. It would gravely damage the only mechanism the Constitution provides for checking a rogue president.

Yet the rigging of the trial process may not be the most damaging legacy of the exhibition Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is orchestrating in full collaboration with the White House.

That might flow from the brazen case being laid out by Mr. Trump’s lawyers. The defense brief they filed Monday argues that the president “did absolutely nothing wrong” when he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations of Joe Biden and a Russianpromoted conspiracy theory about the 2016 election. It further contends that Mr. Trump

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) speaks with journalists as she arrives for the opening arguments in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Wednesday. (Yuri Gripas/Abaca Press/TNS) was entirely within his rights when he refused all cooperation with the House impeachment inquiry, including rejecting subpoenas for testimony and documents. It says he cannot be impeached because he violated no law.

By asking senators to ratify those positions, Mr. Trump and his lawyers are, in effect, seeking consent for an

Kansans deserve bipartisan effort this legislative session If anyone went into Gov. Laura Kelly’s State of the State speech on Wednesday night expecting the governor to deliver something totally unexpected — breakdancing, perhaps, or an operatic version of “Old Town Road” — they were sorely disappointed.

But if they went into the speech expecting the governor to continue her familiar messages of rebuilding the state, making sensible financial decisions and praising compromise for the benefit of all Kansans, they hit the jackpot.

At this point, a year into her first term, the governor has settled on an image and message, and they both feel mighty reassuring. Her top priorities — signing Medicaid expansion into law, avoiding costly tax code changes and fully funding education — were much as they were last year and during her successful campaign.

That’s because they’re popular among a broad, bipartisan swath of Kansans.

As Kelly noted on Medicaid expansion: “When we add this to our list of bipartisan accomplishments, we will not only save lives, it will close the book on a long, senseless, expensive political fight — making room to improve access to health care and grow the Kansas economy.”

Hear, hear.

THE SPECIFICS, though?

That’s where the challenges lie. Should the state’s pen-

sion debt be refinanced, easing up pressure on budgets in the near term? Should the lifesaving Medicaid expansion plan include a stringent work requirement? Should broadly popular tax cuts — such as reductions in the sales tax rate — be pushed aside for more targeted approaches?

Republicans and Democrats have very different takes on these specifics.

Sometimes there are divisions within the parties themselves.

And there are broader questions, too, one that we don’t like to dwell upon.

While Kelly talked about the toll of the Great Recession over the past decade, and noted Kansas’ current low unemployment figures, the state’s strength should make those long-term planners among us concerned.

A downturn will come eventually, with all of its attendant stresses. A recession will hit, and Kansans will suffer. It has nothing to do with personal morality and everything to do with a predictable business cycle.

With that in mind, will we be ready? Will Kansas have rebuilt the infrastructure necessary to stand strong during the storm?

We hope that as Republicans and Democrats collaborate on the broadly popular initiatives suggested by the governor that they spare a thought for inevitable challenges beyond.

extraordinary expansion of his powers. An acquittal vote would confirm to Mr. Trump that he is free to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election and to withhold congressionally appropriated aid to induce such interference.

It would suggest that he can press foreign leaders to launch a criminal investigation of any American citizen he des-

ignates, even in the absence of a preexisting U.S. probe, or any evidence.

The defense would also set the precedent that presidents may flatly refuse all cooperation with any congressional inquiry, even though the House’s impeachment power is spelled out in the Constitution. And it would establish that no president may be im-

peached unless he or she could be convicted of violating a federal statute — no matter the abuse of power. Those are principles that Republicans will regret if they conclude that a Democratic executive has violated his or her oath of office. Yet Mr. Trump demands they adopt his maximalist position regardless of the consequences.

We know that many Republican senators do not accept this unacceptable defense.

Some, such as Rob Portman (Ohio), Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Susan Collins (Maine), have publicly criticized Mr. Trump for calling on Ukraine or China to investigate Mr. Biden. Mr. Portman and Mr. Toomey have taken the position that Mr. Trump’s behavior was wrong but not worthy of impeachment — a response that would, at least in theory, preserve some guardrails on the president’s behavior.

Mr. Trump’s defense is designed to destroy those guardrails. If Republican senators go along with it, they will not only be excusing behavior that many of them believe to be improper. They will be enabling further assaults by Mr. Trump on the foundations of American democracy.

Of course a woman can be president Yes, a woman can be elected president of the United States.

It’s time to put that non-issue behind us.

One nearly was, and it wasn’t her gender that dealt her a loss.

As Bernie Sanders pointed out in the Democratic debate in Iowa Tuesday (Jan. 14) night, “Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes.”

Everywhere else, that would have been enough.

Regrettably, the United States is burdened with an anachronism called the Electoral College, reflecting the mistrust of small states for large ones. A system crafted to elect George Washington most recently served up someone most unlike him.

Just 77,000 more votes in three key states made the difference between a President Clinton and a President Trump four years ago; between having a First Man or a First Lady in the White House.

That was so close, it could have been Russia’s meddling that made the difference. Or James Comey’s October surprise. Or Clinton’s failure to campaign in three normally safe states — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — that she had lost to Sanders in the Democratic primaries.

It used to be said that a Roman Catholic couldn’t be elected president. Then John F. Kennedy was.

Divorce was assumed to be a disqualification. Ronald Reagan disproved that.

Race was the next frontier.

Then Barack Obama was elected.

In the current campaign, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is a formidable contender. She’d be even stronger if she weren’t contending with Sanders for the same voters. She scored points in the Des Moines debate by observing, truthfully, that the men on the stage had collectively lost 10 elections while she and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota were undefeated.

That Klobuchar remains in a dwindling field reflects her potential as the moderate al-

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. ternative to Sanders or Warren if Joe Biden doesn’t do well in the early caucus and primary states. There is no question that either of those women is a qualified rival to Trump and would make a far superior president.

Male machismo and misogyny — the only reasons for even asking whether a woman could be president — are hardly unique to the United States. Yet 59 other nations, spanning the globe and every region and ethnicity, have had women as heads of government. Why hasn’t it happened here?

ONE REASON is that it took time to break the glass ceilings in Congress, state capitals and the vice presidency, which are the traditional proving grounds for presidential prospects.

Since women were enfranchised 101 years ago, only five Democratic women and two Republicans have attained enough political exposure and stature to be taken seriously as candidates in the two major parties. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was the first, opposing Barry Goldwater for the 1964 GOP nomination.

Clinton gave Obama strong competition in 2008 before winning the nomination eight years later.

But only two women have been chosen as running mates, and both tickets lost — Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008.

Another reason is that many of those other nations,

notably Great Britain and Israel, are parliamentary democracies that do not directly elect their heads of government. Their prime ministers have generally come up through party ranks, showcasing their talents. In our nation’s infancy, it was the party caucuses in Congress that nominated presidential candidates.

The Democratic debates should have put to rest the gender issue. As New York Times columnist Frank Bruni observed, pointed questions could also be raised over age — Biden is 77 and Sanders is 78 — and over Pete Buttigieg’s identity as a gay man who has a male spouse.

“Doesn’t that make them risky nominees in their own ways?” Bruni wrote. “If Warren and Klobuchar were less polite and restrained, they might have said so last night.

Instead they just turned in debate performances that showed just how commanding women are.”

It was CNN, rather than any of the candidates, that performed the worst in the debate. That distinction owes to one of the moderators, Abby Phillip, who in effect called Sanders a liar after he denied Warren’s claim that he had told her a woman couldn’t be elected president.

Turning to Warren, Phillip asked her, “What did you think when Sen. Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?”

It was a loaded question that Sanders didn’t get a chance to rebut. Poynter Institute media critic Tom Jones rightly called it “stunning in its ineptitude, stunning in its unprofessionalism.”

Warren was clearly uncomfortable. “I disagreed,” she said, and sought to change the subject.

So, can a woman be elected president?

Yes. So can a man.

There is no material difference.

What really matters is who are qualified, competent and trustworthy.

Dems lay out impeachment case, as senators fidget WASHINGTON (AP) — House prosecutors faced fidgeting senators as they rolled out their case against President Donald Trump on Wednesday, the trial’s previous session having lasted a fatigue-inducing 13 hours. Trump was busy himself, returning from an international business conference but finding time to send 120-plus tweets that included trial commentary and criticism.

Highlights of Wednesday’s session and what’s ahead as senators conduct just the third impeachment trial of a president: ‘CORRUPT SCHEME’

Rep. Adam Schiff, DCalif., the lead prosecutor, spoke for more than two hours, laying out the case House Democrats made in weeks of hearings last year.

Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence

Committee, said Trump had pursued a “corrupt scheme” to abuse his presidential power and then obstruct Congress’ investigation.

He appealed to senators not to be “cynical” about the politics of impeachment, asking them to draw on the intent of the nation’s Founding Fathers.

The founders “feared that a president could subvert our democracy by abusing the awesome power of his office for his own personal or political gain,’’ Schiff said. ”And so they devised a remedy as powerful as the evil it was meant to combat: Impeachment.’’

FIDGETY SENATORS

The challenge before Schiff and other House managers was clear, as they tried to win over not just fidgety senators sitting silently in the chamber but a divided American public. Sena-

tors were especially restless Wednesday, as lawmakers convened less than 12 hours after the marathon session that stretched to nearly 2 a.m.

Freshman Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a House impeachment manager, had trouble holding the attention of senators, who by Senate rules were sitting in silence without access to phones or other electronics. Many senators left their seats and headed to nearby cloak rooms, or stood in the back or openly yawned as Crow talked about Trump’s hold on military aid to Ukraine. At one point, more than 10 senators’ seats were empty.

Crow, a military veteran who tried to emphasize the importance of the delayed aid to Ukraine, noticed the unusual level of activity, telling Chief Justice

John Roberts at about 5 p.m. that he saw a lot of senators moving about.

He wondered aloud if the Senate wanted to take a recess. No such luck. Roberts urged him to continue, and McConnell announced the Senate would not break until 6:30 p.m. for dinner.

Trump’s presidency.

The previous record for tweets was set on the day last month that the House Judiciary Committee opened its marathon session to approve two articles of impeachment against the president.

As Democrats presented their case, Trump blasted the proceedings from afar, joking that he would face off with Democrats by coming to “sit right in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.”

Trump, who returned Wednesday from a global leaders conference in Davos, Switzerland, set a presidential record for activity on his favorite social media platform, sending at least 124 tweets in a single day, according to Factbase, a service that compiles and analyzes data on

Just before dinner, Capitol police swiftly grabbed and dragged out of the chamber a man in the visitors’ gallery who was yelling.

As he was being held in a hallway outside the chamber, the grayhaired man could be heard shouting, “Dismiss the charges!” He also yelled “you’re hurting me!” as police sub-

dued him.

WHAT’S AHEAD

Democrats will continue arguments through Friday under rules approved by the Senate. Trump’s lawyers will then have up to three days to rebut the Democrats’ case.

Trump’s legal team passed on an opportunity Wednesday to file a motion to dismiss the case, an acknowledgement that there were not enough Republican votes to support it.

In wrangling over rules for the trial that stretched into the early morning hours, Republicans shot down, one by one, Democratic efforts to get Trump aides to testify,

China tries to contain spread of deadly virus BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities today moved to lock down three cities that are home to more than 18 million people in an unprecedented effort to contain the deadly new virus that has sickened hundreds and spread to other parts of the world during the busy Lunar New Year travel period.

Police, SWAT teams and paramilitary troops guarded Wuhan’s train station, where metal barriers blocked the entrances at 10 a.m. Only travelers holding tickets for the last trains out were allowed to enter. Normally bustling streets, shopping malls, restaurants and other public spaces in the city of 11 million people were eerily quiet.

In addition to shutting down the train station, authorities closed the airport and halted ferry, subway and bus service. Police checked all vehicles entering the city but did not close off the roads.

Authorities announced similar measures would take effect Friday in the nearby cities of Huanggang and Ezhou. In Huanggang, theaters, internet cafes and other entertainment centers were also ordered closed.

Seventeen people have died in the outbreak, all of them in and around Wuhan, with the oldest victim 89 and the youngest 48. Close to 600 people have been infected, the vast majority of them in Wuhan, and

WHAT IS THE NEW VIRUS?

The disease, believed to have spread from Wuhan, has killed 17 and infected nearly 500 in China. There has been confirmation that the disease can spread with human contact.

• The coronavirus family has many types that affect people.

Some cause the common cold while others originating in bats, camels and other animals have evolved into more severe illnesses such as SARS.

• Symptoms of the coronavirus include fever, cough, tightness of the chest and shortness of breath Beijing

WHERE DID IT COME FROM? • The first cases appeared CHINA last month in Wuhan, a city in central China's Hubei province.

than the population of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.

In the capital, Beijing, authorities canceled “major events” indefinitely, including traditional temple fairs that are a staple of holiday celebrations, in order to “execute epidemic prevention and control.”

“To my knowledge, trying to contain a city of 11 million people is new to science,” Gauden Galea, the World Health Organization’s representative in China, said in an interview. “It has

not been tried before as a public health measure.

We cannot at this stage say it will or it will not work.”

Jonathan Ball, a professor of virology at molecular virology at the University of Nottingham in Britain, said the unprecedented lockdowns appear to be justified scientifically.

“Until there’s a better understanding of what the situation is, I think it’s not an unreasonable thing to do,” he said.

“Anything that limits people’s travels during an outbreak would obviously work.”

But Ball cautioned that any such quarantine should be strictly time-limited. He added: “You don’t want to antagonize communities, so you have to make sure you communicate effectively about why this is being done. Otherwise you will lose the goodwill of the people.”

During the devastating West Africa Ebola outbreak in 2014, Sierra Leone imposed a national three-day quarantine as health teams went door-to-door searching for hidden cases. Frustrated residents complained of food shortages amid deserted streets.

Burial teams collecting Ebola corpses and people transporting the sick to Ebola centers were the only ones allowed to move freely.

In China, the illnesses from the newly identified coronavirus first appeared last month in Wuhan, an industrial and transportation hub in central China’s Hubei

province.

Other cases have been reported in the U.S., Japan, South Korea and Thailand.

Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong reported their first cases today.

Most of the illnesses outside China involve people who were from Wuhan or had recently traveled there.

Images from Wuhan showed long lines and empty shelves at supermarkets, as residents stocked up for what could be weeks of isolation. That appeared to be an over-reaction, since no restrictions were placed on trucks carrying supplies into the city, although many Chinese have strong memories of shortages in the years before the country’s recent economic boom.

Such sweeping measures are typical of China’s authoritarian communist government, though the effectiveness of a lockdown against the outbreak remains uncertain.

Local authorities in Wuhan demanded all residents wear masks in public places and urged government staff to wear them at work and shopkeepers to post signs for their visitors, Xinhua news agency reported.

Xinhua quoted the city’s anti-virus task force as saying the measures were taken in an attempt to “effectively cut off the virus spread, resolutely curb the outbreak and guarantee the people’s health and safety.”

Two killed in bus crash BERLIN (AP) — A school bus crashed in central Germany early today, killing two children and leaving five others seriously injured.

Officials said the bus carrying 22 elementary school children, aged 8 to 11, slid off an icy, cobblestone road, crashed into a ditch and flipped over several times near the village of Berka in Thuringia state. The village is 160 miles southwest of Berlin.

Emergency staff took all the children to surrounding hospitals, including those who were only slightly injured.

The bus driver was also injured.

“When two children die, the world stops turning for a moment,” district administrator Reinhard Krebs said.

Dozens of firefighters, police officers, doctors and psychologists were at the scene.

Thuringia Interior Minister Georg Maier told reporters that the crash had left the small village of Berka in “shock.”

He said the affected school would be open on Friday, but that psychologists would be there to help the children and teachers cope with the loss.

Allen Community College: Basketball

Winning resumes

By ERICK MITCHELL The Iola Register

Allen Community College resumed its winning ways with a 73-70 victory over Cloud County on Wednesday night.

The win snaps a threegame losing streak which saw the Red Devils slide from first to fourth in the Jayhawk East.

The Red Devils were led by a 25-point performance from Joel Boyce of the bench.

Boyce finished 8 of 11 from the floor, and converted 7 of his 11 attempts from the foul line. The scoring showcase wasn’t Boyce’s only contribution, he also snagged 9 rebounds and a pair of steals.

Complimenting Boyce was three more Red Devils who finished in double figures. Shaikim Jenks converted all 6 attempts at the foul line and a pair of treys to highlight his 14-point outing. Tyus Jeffries and Malik Hardmon both finished with 10 points.

ACC held a 44-33 halftime advantage, and reached its largest lead of 13 a minute into the second half. After shooting 42.9% in the first half, the Red Devils ran cold in the second half. ACC missed all seven of its attempts from 3-point territory, and converted 7-25 inside the arc.

The win moves ACC into third place in the Jayhawk East with a record of 8-3 in conference play. The Red Devils remain two games behind division leader Cowley (10-1). ACC will have the chance to gain ground on Cowley when they host the Tigers at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Arrest warrant issued for Antonio Brown HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — A warrant has been issued for the arrest of NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown following accusations that he and his trainer attacked another man near Brown’s Florida home.

Hollywood police spokesman Christian Latta said in a Wednesday news release that Brown faces charges of burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and criminal mischief.

Officers responded Tuesday afternoon to a disturbance call, where the alleged victim said Brown and his trainer, Glen Holt, hit him, police said. Holt was arrested a short time later and charged with one count of burglary with battery.

Officers attempted to make contact with Brown but were unsuccessful, Latta said.

Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Holt, and it wasn’t clear if Brown had a lawyer.

Brown, who is a free agent, played nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was traded to the Oakland Raiders last year but released before ever playing a regular-season game following several offthe-field incidents. He was then signed by the New England Patriots, who released Brown in September after a second woman in 10 days accused him of sexual misconduct.

Zion Williamson shines in debut against San Antonio

Favre, Mahomes share gunslinger mentality

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Zion Williamson scored the final point of his first NBA regular season game as a packed and standing crowd belted out chants of “M-V-P!” Then the NBA’s No. 1 overall draft pick went to the bench — as mandated by medical staff — and watched the game slip away from the Pelicans while unheeded chants of, “We want Zion!” echoed around the Smoothie King Center.

Williamson capped his long-awaited NBA debut by scoring 17 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and stirring the crowd into a frenzy — but the savvy and composed San Antonio Spurs weathered the surge for a 121-117 victory Wednesday night.

out of Duke, whose maiden regular season appearance was delayed three months by arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, said watching the final five minutes from the bench out of caution was “very hard.”

“I’m 19, honestly. In that moment, I’m not thinking about longevity,” Williamson continued. “I’m thinking about winning that game, so it was very tough.”

LaMarcus Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan added 20 points, and the San Antonio Spurs withstood Williamson’s late surge for a 121-117 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday night.

Brett Favre sees some of his own traits as a football player in Patrick Mahomes.

The mobility and passing outside the pocket, usually on the run. The willingness to stick with a play and see if it can develop into something grand. The howitzer of an arm.

The Hall of Fame quarterback, who is appearing weekly on SiriusXM NFL Radio for a third NFL season, isn’t exactly looking into a mirror when he watched Mahomes. But it isn’t far off.

“I see the comparison,’’ Favre says of the Kansas City star. “He may not admit this but he probably

OF ‘STATION 19’ ON ABC Does it feel like you’re working on a different show when you’re doing these crossover episodes with “Grey’s Anatomy”?

No. It feels like the same show but with different faces. I feel like no matter what, ultimately since we’re living in the same universe it feels like one giant family and all the characters’ worlds are sort of like intertwined. So it keeps us all connected and it’s been an amazing experience so far, so I’m just excited to see more of it and see what Krista (Vernoff, “Grey’s” writer/producer) does.

How physical is this role for you?

It requires a lot of persistence and discipline. At times, being that we’re shooting a one-hour drama TV show, we’re working 13-15 hours and so there are going to be days where I want to just eat anything I want and so the physical duties of playing a firefighter sort of like keep me in check. And so it requires a lot of discipline and strong-willed self-control (laughs).

So yeah, we have to train and it’s encouraged that we do. And of course, obviously it’s a Shondaland show so you never know when you’re going to show some skin, and as a firefighter you want to be believably fit and strong. So yeah, it forces me to work out and some days I just don’t want to. (laughs) So do you climb into the hot tub at the end of a shooting day?

You know, if I had the time I would absolutely do that. No, but this is the kind of role that I get to sort of practice so many different strengths as an actor. I get to be physically strong, I get to be vulnerable, I get to be a little sexy. So you’ve got like your badass, independent, strong female role model in one role and that’s an honor to play.

Mnuchin takes swipe at teen activist DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin s a y s S we d i s h climate a c t iv i s t G r e t a T h u n berg is in Steve Mnuchin no position to give economic advice until she’s gone to college and come out with an economics degree.

At a press briefing at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town of Davos, Mnuchin took a swipe at the 17-yearold environmental cam-

Activist Greta Thunberg of Sweden, age 17, tries to get world leaders to take climate change seriously. paigner for her recommendation that both the public and private sectors should divest from fossil fuels.

When asked how that would affect the U.S. economic model, Mnuchin took a swipe at Thunberg.

“Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I’m confused,” he said. Then following a brief pause, he said it was “a joke.”

“After she goes and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us,” he concluded.

Over the past year, Thunberg has taken issue with many aspects of U.S. policy, not least President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the country out of the Paris accord to limit global warming.

Mnuchin said U.S. policy has been misinterpreted, and that Trump “absolutely believes” in a clean environment.

US firefighters help tackle Australian bush fires

By JOSEPH SERNA The Los Angeles Times

OVENS, Australia — It was a rare victory for the seasoned Americans battling flames Down Under.

Beneath a green eucalyptus canopy in the country’s Australian Alps, the continent’s tallest mountain range dividing New South Wales and Victoria, some of America’s most versatile firefighters, mostly from Southern California, are laboring to help the Australians gain the upper hand against their worst fire season ever.

The work, up until Saturday afternoon, had not always been fruitful for these two dozen firefighters, nearly all of them from the Angeles National Forest. Weekly lightning storms have sparked new fires beyond their defensive positions, and even some older fires have spread so quickly they have outrun crews finishing containment lines.

But that afternoon, word crackled over the radio that a containment line they’d dug days before had held up, stopping another blaze’s progress. It was their

first success since arriving in Australia on Jan. 8.

“We finally got a win,” said firefighter Benjamin Covault, 40, from McCall, Idaho. “It’s been kicking everyone’s ass.”

“You want the work to be meaningful, but these are huge fires we’re talking about,” said Justine Gude, one of 20 Angeles firefighters in Australia for a monthlong deployment. “You try to take a bite out of it and if it doesn’t work, you pull back and you take another bite. We’re used to it.”

More than 170 U.S. firefighters are in Australia, a country halfway around the world that some of them had never visited. Helping their Aussie counterparts, they have been adjusting to a unique firefighting culture, unusual lingo and landscapes that, while similar in some respects, differ from those of the American West.

Here in the Alpine National Park near Mount Buffalo, the ground is softer and the shallowrooted eucalyptus generally are heavier and burn hotter than the conifers and oaks of the Sierra Nevada, creating a tree-fall danger that’s unpredictable and

As crews carve their way through dead standing trees, venomous ants jump onto their wrists and bite while spiders lower themselves onto their backs.

“Crazy spiders, man, big spiders the size of your hand. Big ants, bullet ants and jumping jacks, ‘hoppers,’ they call ‘em,” said Travis Braten, a U.S. Forest Service firefighter based in Shoshone, Wyo., who was working with the Californians over the

weekend. “Some guys have seen snakes. I haven’t seen any, which is just fine with me.

Sounds like everything is poisonous.”

While these firefighters will bring home anecdotes about everyday oddities — lounging koalas, kangaroos standing by the roadside, brightly colored birds and huge insects — they have been doing the manual labor that comes with an “arduous crew” label, which is how the Angeles National Forest men

and women have been categorized while in Australia.

It’s the kind of muscle-aching work that firefighters grind through early in their career until they become more specialized. But because resources are stretched razor-thin in Australia, with so many fires at once, the Forest Service sent over hotshots and veteran firefighters who usually lead their own teams back home and can do it all.

“They say it takes a village, where it takes all types to make a successful hand crew,” Gude said, as she stained her hands and nail-polish black with grit, dirt and oil while cleaning a chainsaw. “You need the funny guy, you need the smart guys, you need the strong guys.”

“Me, I’m the strong guy,” Gude said laughing, noting that her body weight was just twice the poundage of the gear and chainsaw she was carrying. “I’m like an ant.”

Fires have inundated Australia since November, when a series of lightning storms sparked multiple blazes in the country’s eastern, drought-parched bush

lands, known as forests in the United States.

Over several months, the fires have killed at least 29 people while destroying thousands of homes, most of them in New South Wales. The estimated area burned ranges from 12 million to 46 million acres, an area roughly the size of Florida.

While not all towns have been engulfed, those close to the bush fires have been coping with sporadic evacuations and days and weeks of unhealthy air.

Near Mount Buffalo, a park roughly 200 miles northeast of Melbourne, the firefighters have made their base camp along the Ovens River tourist town of Bright. With the fires and smoke, businesses have been struggling to stay afloat, but the influx of Americans has been welcomed. Australian officials say the U.S. crews have earned their reputation as among the profession’s best.

“I’ve worked with the Americans before and here there’s no surprises. The arduous crews of America are hard workers,” said David Ross, operations chief for the Abbey Road Fire.

Super-nice girlfriend may have deeper issues Dear Carolyn: I’m worried my girlfriend is developing a martyr complex. For the past couple of years, she has been increasingly overextending herself, and it’s making her miserable. She goes above and beyond at work, then volunteers for extra duties, and she routinely gives up whole evenings and entire weekends to help relatives and friends with their own problems.

All of this would be fine, except it’s stressing her out. Most of our conversations lately are her complaining about things/people in her life, how tired she is and how there isn’t enough time.

Often, she breaks down crying. I’ve suggested she slow down and take care of herself first, but she never does.

She’s extremely vulnerable to guilt-tripping from friends/family. She worries they’ll get mad if she doesn’t do enough

for them. I put on a brave face to support her, but I worry all the time, to the point where I can’t focus at work. I don’t want to break up with her, but now I’m becoming miserable, feeling conscripted as her pseudo-therapist.

I’ve run out of things to say and do to comfort her.

It’s exhausting and not how I want to live.

Is there any way I can explain this without making her feel worse or think I’m mad at her? — Brave Face Brave Face: I’m sorry.

You are in over your head.

As is she, of course.

Her low self-esteem jumps out of your question. She is frenzied with efforts to compensate for what she sees as her

you’ve been able to help her.

Say explicitly that you care about her and want to help her but are not equipped to.

Show her this Q&A if you think it would help her see that you’re not mad at her, you’re worried and, again, in over your head.

You, meanwhile, are so sucked into her pain that you can’t concentrate?

That’s your cue to get to work on your own emotional independence and boundaries.

Re: Martyr Complex: She might consider AlAnon, even if there is no active addict in her life. I went to both therapy and Al-Anon (at my therapist’s suggestion), and they helped me with taking on other people’s problems. — Anonymous Anonymous: Thanks.

I agree it has a lot to offer on boundaries — which might be helpful to Brave Face, too.

shortcomings, as if she can only justify taking up the earth-space she occupies by generating good works. Or what she thinks others would see as good works. Or what garners praise from others.

It’s just layers and layers of doubts and coverups of doubts and coverups of the coverups.

She does crave and also deserve some comfort, and I’m glad you have tried to give her that, but comfort is not a solution to the problem — especially since her “yes” mechanism is frantically working to avoid the discomfort of others’ pressure and guilt. The problem is her thinking so little of herself. She needs to see her own worth, beauty, gifts.

Therapy is the only option that makes sense to me here. Suggested by you, as an expression of concern for her health given how exhausted and sad she is, and how little

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Lawrence mayor is calling the vandalism of her home during a commission meeting that focused on homelessness politically motivated.

Mayor Jennifer Ananda said Tuesday that someone threw a brick through one of her home’s windows last week in the midst of an at times tense discussion about funding for the local shelter. She said the brick contained a message related to the homeless issue, the Lawrence Journal-World reports.

Speaking at the start of this week’s meeting, Ananda said that though she understands and applauds conscious and heartfelt activism, the vandal’s violent actions were unproductive and harmful.

“When someone sows fear through a physical threat, there is a cost to our civility and ultimately our humanity,”

Ananda said. “This is not the Lawrence that I know and love.”

iolaregister.com

Favre sees himself in Mahomes Zion: Catches fire in NOLA debut Continued from B1

feels there is no throw he can’t make or no angle he can’t make it from. Whether he’s flushed left or to the right, his vision always is down the field. I was always looking for the big play first and knew I could always react underneath if I needed, too.

“You have to have a certain confidence or air about you that you can make any throw, and it has been proven he can make any throw.

I always felt like, yeah.’’

With one major alteration that Mahomes and San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo probably benefit from.

“The one big difference with me and present day quarterbacks, when I came into the league I was very unprepared from a passing standpoint,’’ says Favre, who will do his broadcast from Miami at 11 a.m. EST on Jan. 31. “I could throw it a mile, make any throw, but in college we ran an option offense and when we threw it was off a sprint out. I didn’t know anything about protections in general, throwing hot. Never had to worry about anything in college, played free-spirit football, and if there’s a busted play, make something happen with my arm.

“I didn’t know if I could adapt enough to the offense Mike Holmgren or future coaches would want to run before they run me off.

I had to make plays outside the pocket.’’

Favre sees Garoppolo as a strong student of the game who had the best kind of teacher.

“These are two different styles of quarterback, and (Garoppolo) is one who knows his limitations like the guy he learned from, Tom Brady. He knows what he’s capable of doing and does it exceptionally well. If they protect him and the play calling is on par, he can be very impressive.’’

Favre is impressed with both Super Bowl teams and considers the game pretty much a tossup. He’s close with Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who was an assistant coach in Green Bay, including quarterbacks coach in 1997, when the Packers lost to Denver in the Super Bowl, and 1998. And he likes 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who has two players from Favre’s school, Southern Mississippi: Tarvarius Moore and Nick Mullens.

Southern Miss remains close to Favre’s heart. He and wife Deanna, who have the Favre4Hope founda-

tion, recently raised funds to build a volleyball center at the school. Favre’s daughter, Breleigh, has played the sport there.

“We wanted to do something for a high school and (Southern Miss),’’ he says. ‘’We built one at Oak Grove High School (in Hattiesburg, where Favre has done some football coaching). And for Southern Miss, that was difficult — it’s hard to get people to donate for volleyball. But we’’ll be opening an $8 million facility that will be as good as any in the country at Southern Mississippi.

“Deanna and I merged our foundations when I was playing after she got breast cancer and joined forces. One of the things I am most proud of about all the things I have been able to achieve is being able to give away so much money and help so many people with Favre4Hope.

Special Olympics, Cystic Fibrosis, Make-AWish Foundation, a big chunk of money to the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, to St. Jude and to Ronald McDonald House.

“It would be a shame if people who can help don’t help. By no means are we perfect, but we do try to give back.’’

trailed by 12 to start the final period — down 109108.

Soon after, DeRozan began San Antonio’s decisive surge with a finger roll and pull-up jumper.

Aldridge followed with a tip-in and jumper shortly after.

New Orleans got as close as 119-117 on Josh Hart’s 3, but Aldridge responded with two free throws and the Spurs did not give up another basket.

“I was really proud of our guys,” Popovich said.

“We took a huge blow. We stayed the course and just played.”

Brandon Ingram scored 22 for New Orleans but missed 16 of 22 shots, while Lonzo Ball had 14 points and 12 assists.

Williamson entered the Smoothie King Center wearing a black suit with a blue design and blue basketball sneakers. Written in pink on the black T-shirt he wore under his sport coat was the expression, “Let’s Dance,” which was his message to New Orleans the night the Pelicans drafted him.

He certainly found his rhythm in the fourth quarter of his first game, raising hopes for what lies ahead in New Orleans’ remaining 37 games.

“It was everything I dreamed of, except for the losing part,” Williamson said. “Just the energy the crowd brought, the energy the city brought, it was electric and I’m just grateful that they did that. So it was a dream come true to finally get out there, but at the end of the day I did want to win, so we’ve got to look to the next game.”

didn’t let it rattle us,” DeRozan said, adding that Williamson “went on a hell of a run.”

“It was great that we held our composure, executed when we needed to, and came up with stops when we needed to,” DeRozan added.

With Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sending double-teams at Williamson, the rookie struggled to find his shot during the first three quarters.

When the fourth quarter began, he had just five points, four rebounds, an assist and four turnovers in a little less than 12 minutes.

But when the 6-foot-6, 285-pound Williamson found himself open for a straight-on 3 with about nine minutes to go, he let it fly and it went down, infusing the stadium with energy. He followed that up with a torrid three-minute stretch in which he laid in an alley-oop lob, put back a missed shot with a reverse layup and hit three more 3s.

Williamson wasn’t known for shooting 3s when he starred at Duke.

He was so often able to dominate inside. But Williamson noted that his long rehabilitation probably helped him refine his outside shot.

“When you’re not able to move around and do athletic movements for a while, the only thing you can do is just shoot spotup jumpers, I guess that was the result of that.”

His teammates loved it.

“The first one, I was like, ‘All right. Cool,” guard Jrue Holiday said.

“Then the second three I was like, ‘All right, boy, you’ve been practicing.’

And the third one, and from that point on, the energy was crazy.”

Williamson came into the game knowing his playing time would be limited — even though he started. He had played a total of 18:18 when he was subbed out for good with the Pelicans — who

POP’S PRAISE

Popovich sounded genuinely enthused to be in the building for Williamson’s first game.

“You just feel like you’re seeing a new generation come in and you get to see it. You get to be right in the middle of it,” Popovich said before tipoff.

The 24th-year Spurs head coach, who has won five championships, began to reminisce about his first NBA job as a San Antonio assistant under Larry Brown in the 198889 season, which was the heart of the Michael Jordan era.

“I can remember my first days as an assistant for Larry and being mesmerized sitting on the bench watching Michael go up and down the court. I don’t even know if I knew what was going on in the game. I just couldn’t take my eyes off of him,” Popovich said.

“So, I think about that and now we’ve got this generation coming in and it’s been a lot of fun to see.”
