2016: The year the world got loud

By THOMAS CURWEN Los Angeles Times (TNS)

The rising howl of 2016 began with a mosquito’s whine and a baby’s bawling, and by the time we got the news from Brazil of the Zika virus, of infants with their misshaped heads and wide-open eyes, the New Year had already taken on a dissonance that risked overwhelming the sweetest grace note.

Even the heavens seemed on edge.

In February, physicists announced that they had turned their lasers and mirrors to the cosmos and heard something extraordinary: The sound of two black holes colliding, a smash-up that lasted a fraction of a second and yielded 50 times the energy of all the visible stars.

“We can hear the universe,” one scientist said, and the Earth, not to be outdone, cried back.

There were, let’s not forget, plenty of cheers: When Brazil beat the odds to pull off an See 2016 | Page A5

PRC regroups

Water damage doesn’t douse recovery work

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

After life handed them lemons — in the form of a burst water line that flooded much of the interior of the Pregnancy Resource Center — PRC officials are turning it into lemonade — a reconfigured boutique and offices to better fit the needs of their clients.

Steve French, president of the PRC Board of Directors, said repairs are progressing well since the center, at 1 S. Jefferson Ave., had to close its doors the morning of Dec. 20 due to extensive water damage.

A malfunctioning heater, coupled with sub-zero temperatures, caused a water line above the ceiling to freeze, then fracture in three places.

The water soaked through the ceiling and insulation before cascading down walls in the PRC office area, kitchen and restroom.

The resulting damage forced French — who’s also a local contractor — to oversee a series of major repairs. The restroom had to be gutted and rebuilt, much of the interior drywall must be replaced, and reams of educational materials dried out or restocked.

On the bright side, “the ceiling dried out well,” French said.

“There was just insulation damage. The rafters don’t have to be replaced.”

FRENCH, et al, are taking advantage of the ongoing repairs to relocate the center’s boutique stocked with goods such as clothing, baby

For years, the boutique has been at the rear of the building, accessible through a side door along East Street.

Quote of the day Vol. 119, No. 44

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Russia’s president and the Syrian army said today that a nation-wide cease-fire agreement has been reached with opposition rebels, set to begin at midnight. The deal was confirmed by the Turkish foreign ministry.

Vladimir Putin said the cease-fire, which excludes extremist groups such as the Islamic State group and al-Qaida affiliate, will be guaranteed by Russia and Turkey. He said it will be followed by peace talks between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and the opposition, and that the Syrian parties would take part in talks to be held in Kazakhstan, without specifying a date.

Syria’s military said it agreed to a nationwide cease-fire starting at midnight, adding that it paves the way for reactivating negotiations to end the conflict. It said the cease-fire comes after the “successes achieved by the armed forces,” an apparent reference to the capture of rebel-held neighborhoods of Aleppo earlier this month.

Russian Defense Minis-

ter Sergei Shoigu said the truce will include 62,000 opposition fighters across Syria, and that the Russian military has established a hotline with its Turkish counterpart to monitor compliance.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that that President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will be welcome to join the Syrian peace process once he takes office.

Russia is a key ally of Assad, while Turkey is one of the main backers of the opposition. Several previous attempts to halt the civil war have failed but

the recent warming of ties between Turkey and Russia may prove to be a game changer this time.

It comes on the heels of the Syrian army’s retaking control of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, ending the opposition’s four-year hold over parts of the city.

Putin said he ordered the Russian military to scale down its presence in Syria, where it has provided crucial support to Assad’s forces. Putin didn’t say how many troops and weapons will be withdrawn. He said Russia will continue “fightSee SYRIA | Page A5

Ideal learning conditions: A healthy child Facebook founder & wife open school for poor that includes health care

By QUEENIE WONG The Mercury News

EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. (TNS) — Toothaches or asthma can cloud the minds of children who are eager to learn, but a new private school started by Dr. Priscilla Chan and her husband, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, might be just what the doctor ordered.

In East Palo Alto, a city with minorities and families living in poverty near the wealthy enclaves of Silicon Valley, The Primary School opened its doors this year to 51 low-income preschool students. It boasts an innovative curriculum that addresses children’s health needs as part of their educational experience.

“There are so many ways a school can really help a child be in their optimal frame of mind to be successful in the classroom that are way more common than what we traditionally define as special needs,” said Chan, a pediatrician and CEO of the school, in an exclusive interview.

The Primary School’s current students are 4 or 5 years old, but it continues to recruit more students and teachers.

It will add more grades every year until it’s fully built out to serve 700 families in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park’s Belle Haven neighborhood. By that time, it will have pre-kindergarten through eighthgrade students.

The school provides a free education for its students, who are selected through a lottery.

Across the nation, a growing number of schools such as the Harlem Children’s Zone in New York and publicly funded “community schools” also bring in health and social ser-

how to spot and manage a child with asthma, one of the leading causes of school absenteeism, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At least one-fifth of the kids at The Primary

Our goal is to equip parents and teachers and people who work with kids every day to manage the health rather than building an expensive system on top of it.

— Meredith Liu, The Primary School

“We have a very fragmented system with different organizations and government offices that are responsible for different parts of the child, which means that the same child often slips through the cracks because no one thinks to check that the reason why they’re not doing well in school is they can’t see the blackboard,” said Deborah Stipek, a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education.

While The Primary School hasn’t disclosed how much it costs to run, some of its executives noted they’re leveraging help from community organizations and health care providers.

Partnering with the Ravenswood Family Health Center, The Primary School’s teachers received training on

School have a significant asthma condition, said Meredith Liu, the school’s president and chief operating officer.

“Our goal is to equip parents and teachers and people who work with kids every day to manage the health rather than building an expensive system on top of it,” Liu said.

Ravenswood dentists also stopped by to clean some students’ teeth as part of a project called “Virtual Dental Home.”

Parents of students at the school work with coaches and teachers to help write growth plans to measure and track a child’s health, education and social-emotional progress, such as having a healthy relationship with adults or knowing how to ask for assistance.

“We had some kids

who were barely making eye contact when they came in and now they’re speaking,” Liu said.

“And just the ability to have a friend seems like small things for us, but makes all the difference for these kids.”

Inside the classroom, kids learned about healthy eating and even pretended they were doctors in a clinic taking care of imaginary babies. Students start off the day in a community circle, and then split into smaller groups to discuss different topics, Chan said.

In one group, children discussed who lived in their community. One classroom decided insects lived in their community, so they drew pictures of bugs and studied them.

“It’s really an immersive experience led by the child’s interest,” said Chan, a former teacher.

The Ravenswood School District, another one of The Primary School’s partners, is looking for what it can learn from the program to bring into its own public school classrooms.

Gloria Hernandez-Goff, the district’s superintendent, said she’s interested in working with the school to improve the professional development of the district’s teachers and provide students with more social-emotional support.

Research shows that investments in early childhood education, especially for low-income kids, pay off. A recent study co-authored by Nobel laureate James Heckman, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and the director of the Center for the Economics of Human Development, found that high-quality birth-to-5 programs for disadvantaged children deliver a 13 percent return on investment each year. That’s because when they grow into adults, they’re healthier, better educated and less likely to be incarcerated.

Daughter’s death said to be too much for Reynolds LOS ANGELES (AP) — Debbie Reynolds embodied the sunshine of postwar America on the screen as she matched steps with Gene Kelly in “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Carrie Fisher brought the sarcasm and cynicism of the Baby Boomers to her movies, books and stage shows, even when she was playing a princess in “Star Wars.”

The mother and

daughter, separated by so many differences both personal and generational, are likely drawn closer in the public memory after their deaths on successive days.

Reynolds died on Wednesday at age 84, just as she and the rest of the world were starting to mourn her daughter Fisher, who died on Tuesday at 60, days after falling ill on a flight.

Carrie Fisher 1956 - 2016

Born in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, 1956, the daughter of entertainers Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who divorced when she was 2. She became a cultural icon after her role in “Star Wars” (1977) and its sequels.

Career highlights

Biography Fisher rocketed to fame when director George Lucas cast her as Leia in his space opera while she was still a teenager. She then reprised the role in 1980’s “The Empire Strikes Back” and 1983’s “Return of the Jedi.”

In the mid '80s Fisher had problems with alcohol, drugs, depression, a complicated family history and struggles with mental illness.

As the decade drew to a close, Fisher turned to writing with the semi-autobiographical 1987 novel “Postcards from the Edge,” which was adapted for the big screen in 1990 and went on to launch an entirely new career for her as a best-selling author and screenwriter.

Source: LA Times, Biography.com, AP, IMDb Graphic: Tribune News Service

Starting as an actress, Fisher also used her talents off-screen as a screenplay writer and revisioner, and a best-selling author. Her work includes: Actress: 1975: “Shampoo” 1977: “Star Wars” 1980: “The Blues Brothers” 1986: “Hannah and Her Sisters” 1989: “When Harry Met Sally...”

1989: “The 'Burbs” 1991: “Drop Dead Fred” 2003: “Wonderland” Writer / Screenplay revisions: 1990: “Postcards from the Edge” 1992: “Sister Act” 1995: “Outbreak” 1998: “The Wedding Singer” Author 2008: “Wishful Drinking” 2011: “Shockaholic” 2016: “The Princess Diarist”

Even after a year of shocking and constant celebrity deaths, the onetwo punch of Fisher and Reynolds brought a staggering finale to 2016.

Reynolds’ son Todd Fisher said his sister’s death was “just too much” for his mother.

“She said, ‘I want to be with Carrie,’” Fisher told The Associated Press from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Reynolds had just died after being rushed there earlier in the day. “And then she was gone.”

No cause of death has been revealed for either woman.

Both mother and daughter enjoyed the heights of show business success and endured the depths of personal troubles. Their relationship for years ranged from strained to non-existent, a theme frequently explored in Fisher’s writing, but late in life they became allies and close confidantes in their struggles.

Reynolds lost one husband to Elizabeth Taylor and two other husbands plundered her for millions.

Fisher struggled from early in life with addiction and mental illness.

“There have been a

few times when I thought I was going to lose Carrie,” Reynolds said when Oprah Winfrey interviewed both mother and daughter in 2011. “I’ve had to walk through a lot of my tears. But she’s worth it.”

As Fisher tried to distance herself from Reynolds, she barely spoke to her mother for nearly a decade.

“It’s very hard when your child doesn’t want to talk to you and you want to talk to them, and you want to touch them, you want to hold them,” Reynolds told Winfrey.

Auditions Mon., Wed. The Iola Community Theatre will host auditions for the group’s first performance of 2017, “The Canterville Ghost.”

Auditions are scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday and 7 p.m. Wednesday at the ICT Warehouse, 203 S. Jefferson Ave. Actors are needed for 10 characters, including men, women and children.

Show dates are Feb. 3, 4, 11 and 12 at the Warehouse Theatre.

White nationalists raise millions with tax-exempt charities

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The federal government has allowed four groups at the forefront of the white nationalist movement to register as charities and raise more than $7.8 million in tax-deductible donations over the past decade, according to an Associated Press review.

Already emboldened

by Donald Trump’s popularity, group leaders say they hope the president-elect’s victory helps them raise even more money and gives them a larger platform for spreading their ideology.

With benevolentsounding names such as the National Policy Institute and New Century Foundation, the tax-exempt groups present themselves as educational organizations and use donors’ money to pay for websites, books and conferences to further their ideology. The money also has personally compensated leaders of the four groups.

New Century Foundation head Jared Taylor said his group raises money for the benefit of the “white race,” a mission taxpayers are indirectly supporting with the group’s status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The IRS recognized it, the

profit status gives these groups a veneer of legitimacy and respectability.

“It should make people uncomfortable that the government is subsidizing groups that espouse values that are incompatible with most Americans,” he said.

The IRS has tried to weed out nonprofit applicants that merely spread propaganda. In 1978, the agency refused to grant tax-exempt status to the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group that published an antiSemitic newsletter. And in 1994, a court upheld the denial of tax-exempt status for the Nationalist Movement, a Mississippi-based white nationalist group.

Some tax experts said the IRS is still feeling the sting from conservative critics over its 2013 concession that it unfairly gave extra scrutiny to tea party groups seeking tax exemptions.

“I don’t think they’re feeling very brave right now,” said Ellen Aprill, a tax law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

IRS spokesman Michael Dobzinski said he can’t comment on individual nonprofits.

Louisiana State University law professor Philip Hackney, a former IRS attorney, said the agency receives tens of thousands of applications annually

to really change the public discussion of race, Western culture, and Jewish influence.”

The Connecticutbased VDare Foundation is led by Peter Brimelow, founder and editor of an anti-immigration website. Brimelow, who spoke at the National Policy Institute’s conference last month, founded his nonprofit in 1999 and raised nearly $4.8 million bet w e e n Brimelow 2007 and 2015.

Brimelow has denied that his website is white nationalist but acknowledged it publishes works by writers who fit that description “in the sense that they aim to defend the interests of American whites.”

Brimelow received $378,418 in compensation from his nonprofit in 2007, accounting for nearly three-quarters of its total expenses that year. Brimelow says his salary that year was $170,000 and the rest reimbursed him for travel,

New Century Foundation, a Virginia-based nonprofit, has raised more than $2 million since 2007 and operates the American Renaissance online magazine, which touts a philosophy that it’s “entirely normal” for whites to want to be a majority race.

Taylor, a Yale-educated, self-described “race realist,” said his group, founded in 1994, abides by all laws governing nonprofits.

“We certainly did not conceal our intentions,” Taylor said. “I think we are educational in precisely the terms that Congress defined.”

Taylor, whose tax filing says he received $65,000 in compensation in 2015, said he isn’t raising money to enrich himself or his group.

“We hold it in trust for the white race,” he said.

“We take this seriously.

This is not something we do for fun or profit.

This is our duty to our people.”

In a 2012 article, University of Georgia business professor Alex Reed argued the IRS “can and must” revoke the New Century Foundation’s charitable status. Reed said the agency’s lax enforcement allowed other groups — including ones he labeled as white nationalist, antigay, anti-immigrant or Holocaust deniers — to qualify for tax breaks under the guise of operating educational organizations.

The Montana-based National Policy Institute is run by Richard Spencer, who popularized the term “alternative right” about a decade ago. The so-called alt-right is a fringe movement that has been described as a mix of racism, white nationalism and populism.

Spencer’s group raised $442,482 in tax-deductible contributions from 2007 through 2012.

More recent fundraising figures for the group aren’t available in online tax returns, but Spencer said Trump’s candidacy already has boosted his group’s fundraising.

Spencer hosted a postelection conference in Washington that ended with audience members mimicking Nazi salutes after Spencer shouted, “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” Spencer has advocated for an “ethno-state” that would be a “safe space” for white people.

The Georgia-based Charles Martel Society was founded by wealthy publisher William H. Regnery II, who also founded the National Policy Institute.

The group raised $568,526 between 2007 and 2014 and publishes The Occidental Quarterly. In an article last December, the journal’s editor applauded Trump’s campaign as a “game changer” for white people who oppose immigration and multiculturalism but said they “have a long way to go

From 2010 through 2015, VDare Foundation didn’t report any compensation directly paid to Brimelow. But, starting in 2010, the nonprofit began making annual payments of up to $368,500 to Brimelow’s Happy Penguins LLC for “leased employees.”

Brimelow disclosed his ownership of that company on tax returns.

Chuck McLean, a senior research fellow for the nonprofit watchdog Guidestar, said the IRS could view those “independent contractor” payments to Happy Penguins LLC as improper self-dealing unless the nonprofit can show they were “fairmarket value transactions.” Brimelow says he set up that company to “protect” and pay his employees and himself.

Brimelow’s group reported modest fundraising increases for each of the past three years. He is confident that trend will continue during Trump’s administration.

“We have every reason to believe that it will,” he wrote in an email.

Peter Spencer, head of the National Policy Institute, said contributions to the alt-right group have jumped since Donald Trump was elected president.

Spencer has advocated for an “ethno-state” where the United States would be a “safe space” for white people.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Thursday, December 29, 2016

School funding is a priority for 2017 During the upcoming Kansas legislative session a proposed plan for financing public schools will be debated, and eventually come to a vote.

Current public school financing on the state’s part — far and away the biggest share — is through block grant funding, which does not take into account considerations for equalizing aid among all districts in the state, rich, poor and inbetween. Adequacy also is questioned at every turn.

Legislators acted at the 11th hour in a special session in 2015 to approve the funding scheme, proposed

by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Since 1992, schools had been supported by a funding formula that almost everyone deemed equitable.

But when the horrendous income tax cuts of 2012 and 2013 came into effect, the formula was suddenly to blame.

“The only problem with the formula,” Rep. Kent Thompson once groused, “is it is underfunded.”

The formula contained weighting factors that regulated funding for such things as kids at risk, enrollment differences that burdened districts, bilingual needs, special education and transportation.

The rationale behind the formula was to provide students — no matter where they lived or their needs — an equal opportunity for a good education.

Politics also had a role in its design. Legislators from districts that couldn’t compete financially with the Johnson counties of the state found the formula especially acceptable. Johnson County paid an enormous amount in property taxes to keep small schools — physically and educationally — up to snuff.

Another piece of the puzzle that legislators will have to consider is how Kansas Supreme Court justices will rule on a lawsuit that takes issue with current funding. Will the justices, several fresh from retaining their seats in a Nov. 8 referendum, rule as they have previously that the state is not funding public schools adequately, or equitably?

A welcome outcome would be a decision near the start of the legislative session.

THE LONE advantage schools now have is that the composure of the House changed significantly in the November election. A coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans can hold sway, and on certain issues — education funding may be one — a bipartisan effort could override a veto.

What occurs in the Senate is less certain, though comments made by President Susan Wagle, an obvious force in controlling what the senior body does, have been more moderate in recent months.

One thing is sure: Regardless what some who cozy up to Gov. Brownback would have constituents think, schools are not funded nearly well enough.

Telltale markers are shortened schedules, teacher layoffs, a downtrend in applicants, curtailment or termination of programs and just general gnashing of teeth by administrators and school board members who, as they should, sweat the small things that are important to students.

Nothing is more important in the greater scheme of things than providing a good, well-rounded education for our kids.

— Bob Johnson

Unruly students are not felons Criminalizing bad behavior puts students on fast track to a ruined life School administrators understandably want to get control of student bullying, fighting and harassment, but criminalizing such actions on a vague interpretation of a new state law, as the Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant school districts are doing, could reinforce the schoolto-prison pipeline that sucks many young people into a lifetime spent in institutions.

Schools should upgrade and re-emphasize methods that already are in place for helping students, such as discipline, anti-bullying policies, counseling and family services. They do not need the criminal justice system to punish young people unnecessarily. It is fallacy to think that any good would come from charging a school child with a felony for harassment, bullying or fighting at school, which could happen under the new state law that took effect Sunday.

The law reclassifies thirddegree assault and cases of

harassment in which a victim suffers “emotional distress” as Class E felonies. Harassment is currently a misdemeanor and carries fewer penalties. The third-degree assault charge occurs when a person “knowingly causes physical injury to another person.”

Think back to school fights.

By the time a school administrator gets to the scene, it’s often too late to get a straight story from observers or participants. With fingers pointing in every direction, how is a teacher or principal supposed to figure out who started it?

A youngster who was merely fending off blows could easily wind up with felony assault charges.

What about a special-needs student or a 5-year-old who injures another student? Did that kindergartner or specialneeds student “knowingly” cause the injury, or was it coincidental to a scuffle? The courts generally do not impose that standard of awareness on someone so young.

The new law also raises questions about defining the crimes, such as harassment, which could include something as low-level a provocation as name-calling. If

the person who was called a name claims to have suffered emotional distress, the namecaller under this law could be charged with a felony. No good could possibly come from that.

Most students will mature and stop calling people names without the threat of incarceration.

Implementing this new law in schools also counters efforts by school districts, churches and child advocates trying to reduce and end outof-school suspensions to keep children in classrooms. After all, schools are for exactly that — learning.

A local initiative, #BreakThePipelineSTL, includes 23 school districts that have committed to keeping children in school. They are trying to dismantle the mechanism that funnels young people, often those of color, into the criminal justice system at an early age and frequently leads to future incarceration.

School districts already must report dozens of criminal acts to police if they are committed on school property, at functions or on school buses. But criminalizing far-less egregious behavior puts kids on a fast track to a ruined life.

As Trump prepares his ‘kissy-face’ for Putin; a glimpse into dictator’s soul WASHINGTON — “Spare us the kissy-face.”

It was June 2001 and I was covering President George W. Bush’s trip to Slovenia, where he had just met Vladimir Putin for the first time. I and others were struck by Bush’s praise for the Russian leader as “trustworthy.” Said Bush: “I was able to get a sense of his soul.”

But back in Washington, my editor had no interest in such talk. He rewrote my lede with other news — a tidbit about missile defense — and he moved the “kissy-face” stuff about Putin’s soul down to paragraph 18.

In retrospect, that moment in Slovenia defined the Russia relationship for years to come.

Putin had seduced Bush, who only slowly came to understand he had misjudged this adversary’s soul. Putin opposed Bush in Iraq and was unhelpful with Iran. He shut down independent television, sent business leaders who criticized him into exile and prison, ousted democratic parties from government, canceled the election of governors and invaded Georgia.

The kissy-face happened all over again when President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to “reset” relations. Russia responded by working against the United States in Syria, sheltering Edward Snowden, invading and occupying parts of Ukraine, and hacking and

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group meddling in the U.S. election to defeat Clinton.

Now it’s Donald Trump’s turn for kissy-face, and the president-elect is practically groping the Russian dictator.

After Putin gloated Friday that Democrats need to learn “to lose with dignity,” Trump tweeted Putin a sloppy kiss: “So true!” he said of Putin’s comments.

Trump also celebrated a letter he received from Putin calling for more collaboration between the two countries.

“His thoughts are so correct,” Trump said.

Trump’s blush-inducing embrace of the strongman has included repeated praise of Putin’s leadership, deflected questions about Putin’s political killings and disparagement of U.S. intelligence for accusing Russia of election meddling.

IN THREE weeks, Trump will assume the presidency, and we’ll learn what his embrace of Putin really means.

Perhaps Trump is just a dupe and he’ll realize over time that Putin is no friend. The alternative, supported by Trump’s

choice of Putin-friendly advisers Michael T. Flynn and Rex Tillerson, is that Trump really is pro-Putin and will grant the Russian dictator more latitude internationally and will emulate his autocratic tendencies at home.

The former would require us to endure some policy failures as Putin proved himself again to be an adversary. The latter would test the limits of our democratic institutions.

In either case, it would be useful for Americans to have at least a cursory sense of the man our new president proposes to embrace. Here’s a quick glimpse into Putin’s soul to get us started: Opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was killed outside the Kremlin as he walked home one night last year. Putin’s regime blames Chechens, but Nemtsov’s is one of a dozen high-profile murders of opponents widely thought to have been sanctioned by Putin’s government.

Another Putin opponent, Alexander Litvinenko, was killed in London by polonium poisoning in 2006. The British government said Putin “probably” approved the hit. That same year, opposition journalist Anna Politkovskaya was shot and killed outside her apartment.

Among the many business leaders imprisoned or ousted under Putin are Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was head of the oil giant Yukos, and as-

sociate Platon Lebedev. The Russian human rights group Memorial says there are 102 people held in Russian prisons for their political or religious beliefs.

The Kremlin has provided funding and training for farright nationalist parties in Europe, and it used its state media and an army of hackers and social-media trolls to spread disinformation in the United States, in continental Europe and in Britain before the Brexit vote. The goals: to weaken European unity and the NATO alliance and to keep Europe dependent on Russian energy.

Russia also used disinformation to destabilize the Ukrainian government as Russia annexed Crimea. In Syria, where Russia propped up the Assad regime with indiscrim-

inate bombing in Aleppo and elsewhere, Britain, France and the United States have blamed Putin’s government for the mass slaughter of civilians.

An Amnesty International summary of Putin’s rule leaves no doubt about his totalitarian state: “Journalist Killed ... Human Rights Lawyer Killed ... Gay Rights Protesters Attacked ... Repressive Laws Enacted ... Fines for ‘Promoting Homosexuality’ Imposed ... President Putin Signs Law to Re-criminalize Defamation ... USAID Expelled ... Federal Treason and Espionage Act goes into effect ... Moscow Authorities Detain Protesters and Opposition Party Members.”

This, Mr. President-elect, is the man you are embracing.

Please spare us the kissy-face.

Trump: Laud’s Sprint announcement; discusses transition Continued from A1

dent-elect earlier in December.

In the grand scheme of the economy, the jobs announcement is unlikely to have a major impact. Still, it’s another example of how Trump is trying to stoke voters’ belief that he is actively fighting for their well-being.

Son is the founder and chief executive of SoftBank, one of Japan’s largest technology outfits. He owns the U.S. mobile carrier Sprint, which Trump said Wednesday would be moving 5,000 jobs “back” to the United States. Son also controls OneWeb, which Trump said would hire 3,000 workers.

It was unclear whether the president-elect was referencing the Dec. 6 commitment by Son to invest $50 billion in the United States and create 50,000 jobs.

Trump said the addition of 8,000 jobs was “because of what’s happening and the spirit and the hope.”

Still, the U.S. job market has been robust for much of 2016. Employers have added more than 2.2 million jobs

over the past 12 months — a sign of economic health that predates Trump’s presidential victory.

Sprint has struggled since its 2013 acquisition by SoftBank. The carrier shed roughly 9,000 workers between 2012 and 2016, reducing its staff to 30,000, according to annual reports.

Sprint Chief Executive Marcelo Claure said in a statement that the company is “excited” to work with Trump.

“We believe it is critical for business and government to partner together to create more job opportunities in the U.S. and ensure prosperity for all Americans,” Claure said.

The Sprint jobs an-

nouncement came after tensions rose and fell Wednesday between Trump and Obama.

Trump has made it clear that it didn’t sit well with him when Obama recently boasted that he would have won the election if he’d been running.

Trump appeared again later Wednesday night on the Mar-a-Lago steps, this time alongside legendary boxing entrepreneur Don King, who appeared to be one of several guests attending a dinner party. King carried about a dozen flags, including those of the U.S. and Israel; wore two big diamond necklaces, one with a pendant with the Star of David and another with the American flag; and sported a large pin featuring a picture of Trump.

With King by his side, Trump dismissed days of tense remarks by the outgoing and incoming presidents about who would win if they were to hypothetically run against each other, saying he and Obama had “a very, very good talk.”

“We talked about it and smiled about it and nobody is ever going to know because we are

never going to be going against each other,” Trump said.

Earlier, he had accused Obama of throwing up “inflammatory” roadblocks during the transition of power and said his administration was treating Israel with “total disdain.”

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Obama phoned Trump.

“Today’s call, like the others since the election, was positive and focused on continuing a smooth and effective transition,” Schultz said. “The president and president-elect committed to staying in touch over the next several weeks.”

Trump also took issue with the Obama administration’s decision not to block a United Nations Security Council

B3 A5

resolution critical of Israeli settlements.

He told reporters that Israel is being treated “very, very unfairly,” maintaining that countries that are “horrible places” never get reprimanded. He refused to directly answer a question about whether Israel should stop building settlements, saying he is “very, very strong on Israel.”

He dodged a direct response when asked about accusations that Russia hacked the U.S. election, saying computers have “complicated lives very greatly.”

“We don’t have the kind of security we need,” Trump said, adding, “Nobody knows what’s going on.” He said he believes “we have to get on with our lives.”

Putin also said that the Russian military will maintain its presence at both an air base in Syria’s coastal

province of Latakia and the naval facility in the Syrian port of Tartus.

Earlier today, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called on Hezbollah to withdraw its fighters from Syria.

Olympics; when Washington premiered a dazzling new black history museum; when Los Angeles finally got a light rail line to its Westside.

But most of the year’s soundtrack seemed written in a minor key.

Our ears were still ringing from the savage cacophony of assault rifles tearing into a holiday party last year in San Bernardino when bombs exploded in airports in Brussels and Istanbul and screams rose from a beachfront promenade in France.

An Islamist gunman entered a gay nightclub in Orlando, blasting away until 49 were dead, and gunshots continued to echo through our cities — black men shooting one another, cops shooting black men — and as the chant grew stronger, Black Lives Matter, we heard of police shootings in Dallas, Baton Rouge, Palm Springs and Lancaster.

In Britain, the loud

and obstreperous campaign to leave the European Union left one lawmaker decrying “ ... hate and xenophobia,” after another was stabbed and shot to death.

In America, Rust Belt refugees and disaffected millennials roared with approval as two populists connected with the dissatisfaction of their lives.

Bernie Sanders’ message of a “rigged economy” and “broken criminal justice system” caught fire, but was eventually drowned out as Hillary Clinton made history as the first woman to win a major party’s nomination for president.

At the same time, a reality-television star turned his signature utterance — “You’re fired” — into an even broader, if snarky indictment of America’s political system, channeling a pentup rage and delivering it from the dais and in a fusillade of early morning tweets.

By late summer, poli-

tics had erupted into theater, complete with a cast of Russian hackers, and it played as a distraction, even entertainment for the most cynical and callow. Rally posters became oldfashioned cudgels, each word striking a blow: Hillary for Prison 2016, Make AmeriKKK Mexico Again.

Anyone with an opinion could weaponize a keypad, and hashtags sliced across the web like bullets.

Empowered by Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter, citizen journalists, powerful PR firms, learned pundits, crackpot conspiratorialists and trolls from the right and left wrestled authority from traditional news organizations, whose claim to credibility rested on a commitment to accuracy and fairness and other values that no longer seemed to count for much.

Soon enough misinformation turned into disinformation, and

the clamor of fake news grew to a din: “WikiLeaks CONFIRMS Hillary Sold Weapons to ISIS” “Trump’s Cabinet Members to be Determined by Apprentice Style Reality Show” One man, armed with an assault rifle, took it upon himself to investigate a story of a pizza parlor in Washington that supposedly sheltered a child sex ring connected to the Clinton campaign.

As we learned from Guantanamo, living with noise blaring all the time makes clear thinking impossible.

Yet 2016 did have its few sweet notes, and like those physicists listening to sounds from space, we discovered a music that could sustain us. We joined Cubs fans swaying in rhythm and singing in glorious dis-

harmony “Go Cubs Go” after their team won its first World Series in 108 years.

We heard Native Americans at Standing Rock tattooing leatherskinned drums to celebrate their success in stopping a $3.7 billion oil pipeline. We paid attention to a mourner at a memorial for the dead in Orlando, who said: “They will not hate us away.”

We listened with tears and smiles and even bewilderment as Beyonce performed “Formation” at the Super Bowl, her dancers dressed as Black Panthers.

We listened as the airwaves filled with version upon version of Leonard Cohen’s haunting “Hallelujah,” and we listened as Patti Smith stood before the king and queen of Sweden to sing Bob Dylan’s ballad

of apocalyptic beauty, written at a moment in our history that was equally perilous and loud.

“Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

And where have you been, my darling young one?”

And even when we poked about between the disharmonious tweets and Facebook posts, we lingered on a few links worth bookmarking and heard sounds that will surely outlive our ephemeral concerns.

Click, for example, on a YouTube video recorded in a Seattle backyard where a retired aerospace engineer, Paul Gregg, has built three roller coasters for his grandchildren.

As raucous as 2016 was, the peals of their laughter are a melodic antidote to the year’s unsettling howl.

tique will be moved to the front of the building, where clients can enter from Jefferson Avenue.

“It really will look like a store,” French said.

Up until earlier this year, the building was owned by The One, Inc., which once used the front of the building as a meeting space.

“But once The One dissolved, and we got the building, we’d been planning to move the boutique,” French said.

“We’re taking advantage of this storm to rebuild.”

SEVERAL volunteers and other donors have stepped forward to help.

Thrive Allen County, three doors to the south, has offered use of its offices for PRC’s parenting classes.

“Thrive has been very good about offering their help,” French said.

“We’ve had a lot of people check in to see what we need.”

French plans to get much of the “minor” items out of the way this week, then start in with bigger-ticket items, such as ceiling replacement shortly after New Year’s Day. “If I can get a good work crew in here, we’re hoping to have it all done in two or three weeks,” he said.

THE PRC offers family support services and a maternity boutique, free pregnancy testing and prenatal support.

The organization also provides adoption resources.

Parents unable to afford diapers, bottles, formula, clothes or other essentials can obtain those items at PRC by earning “mommy/daddy bucks” by completing parenting classes.

AS A non-profit, PRC’s tight budget will be stressed even more because of the remodel.

The building was insured, “but because

of its age, we couldn’t afford to insure it at replacement value,” French said. “It’s not going to be bad, but it’s still going to take a bite out of our budget, especially since we’re replacing the entire ceiling.”

The PRC board had the option of replacing just the damaged portion of the ceiling, but agreed to go with a full replacement, “to give it a more modern look. It’s going to look good.”

The PRC office area also is being moved closer to the front of the building.

To volunteer as a helper, donate materials (or cash) or assist in other ways, contact the Pregnancy Resource Center via its Facebook page, or by calling Michaela French — Steve French’s daughter and one of the volunteers — at (620) 363-4618.

Because PRC is certified as a non-profit, all donations are tax-deductible.

Too cold out?

Stay active with Iola Recreation

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Now is the time for New Year’s resolutions and millions of people across the country will make it their top goal to get into better shape.

The only problem with beginning that goal in January is that with winter in our midst, it isn’t as easy to go out for a run or take your bike out for a spin as it will be in a couple of months. So how do you jumpstart your top 2017 resolution?

The Iola Recreation Department has the solution: Take a six-week fitness class with Sarah Noah.

Noah is instructing five workout-based classes that all start during the first week of January. The classes are $30 each, but you can take her County Heat Line Dancing course, PiYo Live and Insanity Live course for a total of $50.

Each of those classes meets one evening a week.

The deadline to sign up is Friday.

The other classes being offered are yoga for anyone and a specialized yoga course for athletes. The traditional course meets twice a week and the athlete-specific course meets once a week.

HOUSTON (AP) — Kansas State was unbeatable against teams from Texas in the regular season. That didn’t change on Wednesday night in the Texas Bowl.

Jesse Ertz threw for 195 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores in Kansas State’s 33-28 victory over Texas A&M. He had 67 yards rushing to give him 1,012 this season.

The victory improved the Wildcats to 5-0 against teams from the Lone Star State this season after they downed Texas Tech, Texas, Baylor and TCU earlier this year.

“I think that’s a really cool thing to accomplish,” said Ertz, who was named MVP. “It gives the fans some bragging rights.”

Ertz had a 79-yard touchdown pass and scoring runs of 1 and 5 yards to help give Kansas State its fourth

Bucs’ Martin suspended for PED use Shockers win TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing substances and said Wednesday he’s entering a treatment facility rather than appeal the ban.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection, slowed by a hamstring injury this season after rushing for 1,402 yards in 2015, will miss Sunday’s regular-season finale against Carolina.

He also sat out last week’s 31-24 loss at New Orleans after being declared inactive against the Saints, though that game won’t count against the penalty.

Martin said in a statement that he learned of the suspension last week and that his “initial instinct” was to “appeal the suspension and finish the season with my teammates.”

The fifth-year pro said he decided to enter a treatment facility “and receive the help I truly need” after discussing the matter with people close to him, including Bucs coach Dirk Koetter.

“On the field, I must be strong and determined to push through both pain and injuries to become an elite NFL running back.

“Off the field, I have tried that same approach in my personal life,” Martin said in the statement released through the

team. “My shortcomings in this area have taught me both that I cannot win these personal battles alone and that there is no shame in asking for help.”

The 27-year-old running back was excused from practice Wednesday.

Afterward, Koetter declined to comment on his situation, saying a statement from the player would be forthcoming.

The NFL said Martin was suspended for the team’s “next four regular-season and/or postseason games,” beginning immediately.

“Doug has been a valued

member of our organization for the past five seasons and we respect and support his decision to seek help,” Bucs general manager Jason Licht said.

“Right now, he is working through issues that are much larger than the game of football,” Licht added.

“Our primary concern is that he takes this time to focus on getting the help that he needs in order to move forward with his personal and professional life.”

The announcement came four days after the Bucs declared what Koetter described as a healthy Martin inactive for

a game Tampa Bay needed to win to retain realistic playoff hopes.

Although the loss at New Orleans did not eliminate the team from contention, seven things need to have to happen on the final day of the regular season this weekend — beginning with Tampa Bay winning at home against Carolina — for the Bucs to earn the remaining NFC wild-card berth.

Martin injured his hamstring during a loss to Arizona in Week 2 and was sidelined nearly two months before returning against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 13.

Although, the two-time 1,000-yard rusher never regained the form that helped him finish second in the league in rushing behind Adrian Peterson last season, the Bucs rattled off five consecutive victories — beginning with a 26-point win over Chicago — to climb into contention for the club’s first playoff berth since 2007.

Martin averaged just 2.9 yards per carry while rushing for 421 yards on 144 attempts this season.

He finished with a teamleading three rushing touchdowns, however his yards per attempt average is the lowest among NFL runners with at least 100 carries.

MVC opener

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Darral Willis Jr. had a careerhigh 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Markis McDuffie scored a career-best 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting and Wichita State beat Indiana State 8072 on Wednesday night in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both teams.

Landry Shamet scored 14 for Wichita State (11-3), which has won six of its last seven games and three straight MVC titles.

Zach Brown had a dunk and then hit two free throws to spark a 10-1 run that gave the Shockers a 58-47 lead, the biggest by either team, with 12:30 left. Jordan Barnes hit three 3-pointers — including a 4-point play — and scored all of his 10 points in the next nine minutes and Indiana State pulled within two on his final 3 with 3:42 to go. Willis made a layup and McDuffie hit a 3-pointer to make it 7669 with 1:25 remaining. The Sycamores missed their final five shots.

Brenton Scott had 14 points, on 3-of-14 shooting, for Indiana State (6-7). Everett Clemons had a career-high 11 assists.

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Russell Hornsby OF “GRIMM” ON NBC

Is there a wistfulness that comes with the knowledge that “Grimm” is ending after this season?

No. You know, I’m so busy that I haven’t even had time to think about it. You know, there’s 10 different things going on at once and because of that, I have to just focus on what’s tomorrow versus looking back at yesterday. So for an actor, it’s a good place to be. ... No time to get nostalgic.

Has shooting this season is different from the others?

Oh yeah. First of all, it’s only a half a season, which is great, and there was finality. So you could properly, I guess, prepare yourself for the end – emotionally prepare yourself and sort of do your goodbyes over time. And normally as actors, we don’t know the job is ending. It just ends and you don’t get asked back. Then you see people like three years later, “Oh man, I missed you. I’m sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye.” So this is different.

What has the reaction been from fans at the conventions you’ve been to?

It’s very sweet. I think that they appreciate that they have been informed that it’s over versus pulling the plug and then we not come back.

So I think everyone appreciates that. It’s always better to know. And also, there had been like small Twitter “Save Grimm” campaigns that are cute but we know that the show’s not ending because it’s not doing well; it’s ending because the storytelling is over. Which I think is the best way to go – on your terms.

Eleven months ago, I had my first attack of these dreadfully painful spasms, which lasted for about 30 minutes. The immediate trigger was red wine. In subsequent small experiments, I have discovered that they can be triggered by both red and white wines.

I have avoided wine since then, but recently I had another painful attack that lasted for about 60 minutes. I was near the end of a sushi dinner and assume that the trigger probably was the vinegar used in the sushi rice (which I will now avoid). The spasms, which rate a 10 out of 10 on the pain scale, were about 10 seconds apart. Since it is possible that they will occur again, I am wondering if there is any way to stop them once they have started. When I phoned a local health hotline, the nurse suggested deep breath-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health ing and peppermint. I used both of these, but I don’t know whether they helped or if the spasms simply subsided with time. — A.M. Answer: Esophageal spasm is a condition where the nerve control of the muscles of the esophagus is chaotic, leading to uncontrolled contractions. Most people complain of pain or discomfort in the chest, often associated with difficulty swallowing. It can be mistaken for a heart attack.

The diagnosis is made by measuring the pressures inside the esophagus.

I have not read much about dietary triggers for esophageal spasm, so I am interested to hear that you have been able to identify foods that trigger symp-

toms in you. Avoiding triggers is a key treatment in many diseases, and often requires keeping a diary in order to identify consistent triggers.

The nurse you spoke to gave you one treatment, peppermint oil, which has been shown to have benefit in at least one small trial. Peppermint candies with a very high concentration of peppermint oil, such as Altoids, may be of benefit.

Pharmacological treatment is usually with calcium channel blockers, such as diltiazem, or with antidepressants (which work on the nerve cells, similar to the way they work in people with neuropathy, but are not used in the doses they would be for depression). Two classes of drugs that you might not expect to work, nitroglycerine and sildenafil (Viagra), also have shown benefit.

Botulinum toxin is sometimes injected into the esophagus for longerterm treatment.

Dear Dr. Roach:I’ve wondered for a long time if hair tints and dyes cause cancer. How about a weekly hair rinse? — D.E.B. Answer: The American Cancer Society has written about this (http:// bit.ly/1CztvhD); in summary, people exposed to hair dyes at work have a small increase in risk for bladder cancer. There has not been a consistent link between using hair dyes and cancer, although hair dyes in use prior to 1980 may have increased the risk for blood cancers.

Permanent and semi-permanent dyes are where the risk is thought to be, not temporary dyes that wash out after one or two washings.

It’s recommended to use gloves when working with dyes, and to rinse thoroughly. I want to emphasize that if there is an increased risk in cancer from the chemicals in hair dyes, the risk is small.

‘I am not so sure he is the person I want’ Hi Carolyn: I’ve known a man for about three years now. When I met him, he was very immature and generally a jerk to almost everyone, including my friends, who all still dislike him.

I dated him briefly and broke up with him.

Over the years, I’ve seen him grow up and become more mature, but there are still some aspects of his personality that I really disagree with — mostly, how he treats other people who are not me. Recently we’ve reached out and are slowly growing a relationship.

However, he has a tendency to pressure me to commit to things that I’m not willing to do, because while he is certain that I’m the person he wants, I am not so sure he is the person I want, and would prefer to avoid serious commitment for a while longer.

This past weekend he basically “took a bullet” for me — he heroically caught me when I fell in a dangerous situation, and as a result his nose got

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

sliced up and required an ER visit. I was completely unharmed thanks to him and took him to the hospital, where he suffered greatly during stitches due to his fear of needles.

Since he saved me from what would have surely been a broken ankle, I feel like a terrible person for yet again turning down his pressures to move in with him or spend more time with him. Am I a bad person to not make a sacrifice of my own (values, that is) in parallel to his physical one? — Gravityprone Answer: Yikes. You are never under any obligation to offer yourself up romantically in exchange for something somebody did. Wow. I was already leaning toward what I presume is your friends’ take on this guy — immature,

jerk, avoid — because you said “he has a tendency to pressure me to commit to things that I’m not willing to do.” Why? Because that is the deal-breaker of all deal-breakers in a person.

It’s disrespectful of you and of your right to run your own life — and what people have to offer in a relationship is irrelevant unless they clear that basic “respects me as a human” hurdle.

Please let’s agree at least on that.

So I see this guy as a bad idea already, and then you point out that he expects you to set aside your doubts and move in with him — because he got hurt breaking your fall?

I’m in the “I can’t even” zone.

I hate it when an answer becomes six paragraphs of Please Get Therapy please, but, oh my goodness, boundaries! So here’s a book to go with my therapy recommendation: “Life Skills for Adult Children,” by Janet Woititz and Alan Garner, is crystal clear on what boundaries are and

why you need them. Immediately.

They might actually save you from a much bigger danger than a broken ankle; people like this guy, and/or your tendency to rationalize and capitulate to same, promise discomfort at best and at worst pose a risk of abuse.

I strongly suspect your friends will give you all the support you want in getting away from this one.

Wildcats: K-State beats A&M to win Texas Bowl Continued from B1

straight win and first bowl victory since the 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.

“They’re a good defensive football team and we didn’t do anything we hadn’t done all year, but we may have done some things a little better,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said.

The Wildcats (9-4) led 33-21 after Ertz bulled into the end zone on a 1-yard run with nine minutes left. Ertz set up the score with a 20-yard run two plays earlier.

“It was a case tonight where either we stopped (Ertz) or gave up the home run,” Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said.

“Consistency level was an issue. We gave up the three big plays in the first half and couldn’t get enough stops.”

The Aggies (8-5) cut it to 33-28 on Josh Reynolds’ 15-yard TD reception about a minute later.

Texas A&M attempted to convert a fourth-and-8 with about two minutes left, but Trevor Knight’s pass was short, to give Kansas State the ball back and allow the Wildcats to run out the clock.

Reynolds had a Texas A&M bowlrecord 12 receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns and Knight threw for 310 yards with three touchdowns and one interception as A&M dropped its second straight bowl game.

a 5-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. But Myles Garrett blocked the extra point to make it 13-7.

A 3-yard reception by Ricky Seals-Jones put A&M back on top 14-13 soon after that. But Kansas State regained the lead with a 40-yard field goal before pushing the lead to 23-14 on a 52-yard run by Dominique Heath just before halftime.

Kansas State wide receiver Dominique Heath (4) takes off on a 52-yard touchdown run in the second quarter against Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston on Wednesday. Bo Rader/Wichita Eagle/TNS “He’s a heck of a player,” Sumlin said. “Last year at this time he decided to come back, and I think it was worth it for him. I think he’s improved as a route runner, he’s got great hands.

I think it was worth it coming back. He’s increased his value.”

Texas A&M got to 2321 when Reynolds made

a 4-yard touchdown catch with about seven minutes left in the third quarter. A 25-yard field goal by Ian Patterson extended Kansas State’s lead to 26-21 with about three minutes remaining in the quarter. A highlight of that drive came on a 36-yard run John Silmon.

The Aggies took a 7-0

lead when Keith Ford scored on a 7-yard run on their first possession.

Kansas State tied it when Ertz connected with Byron Pringle and he dashed down the field for a 79-yard touchdown run later in the first quarter.

The Wildcats took the lead when Ertz stiffarmed Justin Evans on

HANDLING GARRETT Kansas State did a good job of neutralizing Texas A&M star defensive end Myles Garrett.

The junior, who is expected to declare for the draft and many believe could be the top overall pick in April, blocked an extra point in the second quarter. But he was unable to do much else while facing near-constant double teams and finished with one tackle. “(Left tackle) Scott Frantz we had lined up against him,” Snyder said. “He’s a newcomer for us, and that probably gave him a great deal of confidence. He played well against him. He probably played as well as anyone who played against him this year.”

NO GATORADE Snyder got a bucket of confetti dumped on his head near the end of the game. The 79-yearold coach said that was a nice way to celebrate and that his players knew better than to douse him with Gatorade. “I think they realized that we could go back to the hotel and celebrate or we can go back to the hotel and run (laps) around the hotel all night,” he joked.

Ducks top No. 2 Bruins with last-second trifecta EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Ten years ago at McArthur Court, it was Oregon’s Aaron Brooks with the shot that knocked off No. 1 UCLA. This time the dagger was in the hands of Dillon Brooks, and he delivered against the No. 2 Bruins, too.

Brooks hit a 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left to give No. 21 Oregon an 89-87 victory Wednesday night in the Pac-12 opener for both teams.

Brooks, who finished with 23 points and nine rebounds, grabbed Bryce Alford’s missed free throw with 8.9 seconds to go, dribbled to the right wing and pulled up for the

game-winning shot.

“It’s amazing,” Brooks said. “You work on your game every day and you dream of that moment.

“I want more moments like that for my team.”

Payton Pritchard added 15 points and nine assists for the Ducks (12-2, 1-0), who won their 10th consecutive game and pushed the nation’s second-longest home winning streak to 34 games.

Pritchard’s 3-pointer pulled Oregon within one with 12.9 seconds left to set the stage for Brooks’ shot.

Brooks said Oregon

coach Dana Altman called “pop” for the final shot and the ball was supposed to find the hothanded Pritchard, who hit three of Oregon’s 11 3-pointers. Instead, Brooks used a screen by Jordan Bell to squeeze off the game-winner.

“We had an option to get to the basket or shoot it,” Altman said, “and (Brooks) felt like he liked the shot and he was right.

Who am I to argue?

“Dillon likes those big moments and hit or miss, he’s willing to take the consequences for it.”

That included being swarmed by Bell and his

teammates at the other end of the court before the officials could clear the court for a final possession by UCLA, which didn’t come close with its shot.

“I was running away from it,” Brooks said of the celebration, “but Jordan just tackled me.”

Thomas Welch had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bruins (13-1, 0-1), and Alford had 20 points.

Lonzo Ball added 14 points and TJ Leaf had

13.

UCLA was trying to match its best start to a season in 10 years, but Alford missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Alford was shooting a team-best 87.0 percent at the free throw line this season.

“That’s who we want at the line,” UCLA coach Steve Alford said of his son. “More times than not he makes shots to get us back in it and that’s the guy we want at the free throw line.”
