Bill would exempt colleges, governments indefinitely

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — A Statehouse committee room was packed beyond capacity Thursday as scores of people turned out to voice their support for a bill that would allow public colleges, universities and local governments to continue banning the carrying of concealed weapons in public buildings.

“I am in full support of this bill because I don’t want to get shot,” said Megan Jones, a graduate student and instructor at the University of Kansas. “I don’t want to watch someone else get shot. I don’t want to wonder if a guy sitting in my classroom is pulling out a cellphone or a firearm.”

In 2013, lawmakers passed a bill requiring that most public buildings allow people to carry concealed weapons unless the governing body in charge of the

safety on campuses. They included students and faculty from KU, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Washburn University in Topeka and Johnson County Community College.

Dan Hoyt, an associate English professor at Kansas State University, echoed the sentiments of many students and faculty when he said they would never have agreed to come to Kansas if they had known the state was going to allow guns on campus.

“I love Kansas. I met my wife in Kansas. I got my Ph.D. at KU. I believe in this state’s history,” Hoyt said.

“Months ago, my wife and I adopted our baby, who was born in Wichita. But I would never have left my job at a university in Ohio to come to Kansas State if I knew there would be guns on campus.”

I am in full support of this bill because I don’t want to get shot. I don’t want to watch someone else get shot. I don’t want to wonder if a guy sitting in my classroom is pulling out a cellphone or a firearm.”

Public colleges and universities, along with cities and counties, were allowed to exempt themselves from that law for four years. That fouryear period is set to expire July 1.

Senate Bill 53 would go back and amend that law by repealing the expiration date of the exemption, effectively leaving the exemption in place indefinitely.

The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, which held the hearing Thursday, meets in one of the smaller committee rooms in the Statehouse, and so there were nearly as many people left standing in the corridor outside as there were inside the public seating area.

The vast majority of those were people supporting the bill, and most of those were people concerned about gun

Report: County on right track on mental health, justice

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

A recent report on the need to reduce the number of people with mental illness incarcerated in county jails confirms that Douglas County is on the right track, county officials say.

The report was released Jan. 18 by the Stepping Up Initiative to Reduce the Number of People with

the U.S. Department of Justice.

The report lists six questions that county leaders should ask to address the incarceration of individuals with mental illness: — Douglas County Commission Chair Mike Gaughan l Is county leadership committed? l Does the county conduct Mental Illnesses in Jails. The the National Association of timely screening and assessorganization of 320 counties, Counties and the Council of ments? of which Douglas County is State Governments Justice a member, is supported by Center, in partnership with > COUNTY, 2A

For a number of years we have been putting the right pieces in place, but any time you ask these questions of criminal justice and mental health, you always want to be better.”

Sophomore basketball player Carlton Bragg Jr. has been suspended indefinitely from the University of Kansas men’s basketball team, but KU says the suspension is not related to an ongoing investigation into a reported December rape at the building where the basketball team lives.

Carlton is suspended for a violation of team rules,” Self said in a release sent out by KU Athletics officials at about 9 p.m. on Thursday. “This violation is not connected to the alleged incident in McCarthy Hall on December 17.”

A Topeka man was killed Thursday morning after the truck he was riding in crashed with a semitrailer on Interstate 70, the Kansas Turnpike Authority said. Around 9:05 a.m. a westbound Chevrolet Silverado struck the rear end of a Freightliner semi, which was also westbound, but driving in a different lane, the Kansas Turnpike Authority said in an accident report.

speaking on behalf of publicly owned hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital and KU hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Dozens had arrived early, suspicious that the hearing time had been moved up an hour to 9:30 a.m. instead of 10:30 without public notice. But it turned out there had been a typographical error on the legislative web page listing information about the bill.

The hearing lasted about 90 minutes, with

supporters of the bill taking up more than twothirds of that time. But the committee also heard from gun rights advocates who opposed the bill, including former legislators who helped write it in 2013.

“Current law is the compromise position,” said former Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, R-Palco, who is now a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. “This was worked out a number of years ago, that the universities would have four

years to come up with a plan.”

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, also attended the hearing, although she is not a member of the committee. She submitted written testimony arguing that although college and university campus communities might be the ones most directly affected if the law goes into effect, the impact of the law would be felt statewide.

County CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A l Does the county have baseline data? l Has the county conducted a comprehensive process analysis and inventory of services? l Have we prioritized policy, practice and funding improvements? l Do we track progress?

In the report’s analysis of those questions, its authors present examples of best practices that counties have implemented to address them.

Douglas County Commission Chair Mike Gaughan said the county could put a check by the first question on commitment and is demonstrating that resolve by its support for initiatives to implement the best practices cited in the report.

Gaughan acknowledged the county did need to improve in those areas involving data collection, particularly in regard to sharing information among the county’s different agencies.

To address that, the county created a data analyst position this year within the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, he said.

Mike Brouwer, Douglas County Jail re-entry program director, and David Johnson, executive director of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said it was very rare in Douglas County for individuals with mental illness to be incarcerated solely for their condition. What wasn’t rare, however, was the incarceration of mentally ill individuals from actions they took while in crisis or from lack of sufficient active treatment.

Brouwer said the county used the “sequential intercepts model” to help craft its response to the mental health incarceration rate issue. The model envisions a funnel-like representation of the county’s criminal justice system, with suspects’ first contacts with law enforcement officers at the top of

the funnel, and the release of inmates to community corrections with community support at the bottom.

The county made strides early in the bottom part of the funnel with the re-entry program, Brouwer said.

Mental health initiatives of the past two years have focused on the wider top of the funnel, when those with mental illness first make contact with the criminal justice system.

Gaughan and Brouwer said those initiatives start with the Crisis Intervention Team training given to Lawrence and county law enforcement officers, which instructs officers on how to recognize mental health issues and defuse situations arising from them.

Sgt. David Hogue of the Lawrence Police Department said 65 percent of the department’s force has received CIT training. The department made a commitment to the faith-based activist group Justice Matters to train 100 percent of its officers by the end of 2017, he said.

In January 2016, the county took a step to directly address the second question on the list with the hiring of two Bert Nash Community Mental Health employees for the jail’s Assess-Identify-Divert program. The two employees were hired with a U.S. Department of Justice grant that provided $100,000 to pay for two case manager positions in the jail through the end of 2018, at which time the county will have to pick up their salaries. It is a groundbreaking program, as Douglas County is one of three counties in the country to have jail AID case managers in place, Brouwer said.

The two case managers screen newly admitted inmates to the jail for mental health and substance abuse concerns and point candidates to appropriate alternative programs.

One of those programs is the behavioral health court, which the County Commission funded this year, Gaughan said.

The court places defendants with case managers who develop treatment

“We’ve been given zero information that would warrant suspensions or anything like that that’s connected to our players at this point in time,” said Self, speaking during his regular weekly news conference at Allen Fieldhouse. “I certainly will act on it if any information is given to us in the future that would warrant such action.”

Self added: “With that being said, you have to let the investigation play out. That’s what’s most important, and the detectives need to do their job.”

No. 2 Kansas will travel to Lexington, Ky., this weekend for a Saturday game with No. 4 Kentucky at Rupp Arena.

Self called the reported rape “a major distraction” but one that was important for the team to deal with.

“In general when you talk about distraction, you look at it how it affects us, but more importantly, there’s an obviously very serious allegation that has been made,” Self said. “So that trumps figuring out how to guard (Malik) Monk or (De’Aaron) Fox ...

It’s not what we want to do, but certainly there is a requirement at this point in time.”

programs and monitor progress.

Another program that addresses early contact with the criminal justice system is the co-responder program the Lawrence City Commission agreed to fund with the start of the year.

Under the program, a twoperson team of a law enforcement officer and a Bert Nash behavioral specialist will respond to calls involving a mental health crisis.

Johnson said the city will provide $50,000 this year for the Bert Nash employee.

Hogue said the Lawrence Police Department was currently looking to hire four new patrol officers and was training an additional 14. The department would fill the co-responder position when officers are hired and trained for those patrol positions. There was no schedule for when the coresponder officer would be hired and trained, he said.

“We’re developing (coresponder) policies and procedures,” Hogue said.

“We’re very much in the implementation process right now.”

The potential of the coresponder program is illustrated in the Stepping Up Initiative report, which cites its use in neighboring Johnson County.

That county’s data showed that after it was implemented in Olathe during a 12-month period ending in 2012, only 10 of 808 co-responder team contacts ended in arrests, while hospitalizations from such contacts decreased from 54 percent to 17 percent. Referrals to treatment services increased from 1 percent to 39 percent.

Those statistics are not news to Brouwer, who worked at the Johnson County Jail at the time the program was introduced. The program has since been expanded to other Johnson County cities, he said.

Brouwer and Johnson expect that the co-responder program would have similar success in Lawrence and anticipate future expansion in Lawrence and Douglas County.

A final piece of the county’s approach to the issue of

A 16-year-old girl was reportedly raped between 10 p.m. Dec. 17 and 5 a.m. Dec. 18 at McCarthy Hall, 1741 Naismith Drive, according to the publicly available portion of the related KU police report. In addition to rape, other crimes reported were contributing to a child’s misconduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the report.

McCarthy is the on-campus apartment building that is home to the KU men’s basketball team and other male upperclass or transfer students.

The Journal-World first requested the police report and published a story on the allegations Tuesday. KU police added the incident to their online daily crime log 10 days after the rape reportedly occurred, and a Journal-World reporter found the entry while searching past months of log activity.

The investigation remains open, and police have released no information about a possible suspect. Police have said the 16-year-old victim, who was not a KU student and not from this area, was visiting residents in the building. KU police deputy chief James Anguiano declined to answer who reported the rape.

A runaway juvenile also was reported at McCarthy Hall the morning of Dec. 18. Police would

mental health and the criminal justice was the proposed mental health crisis intervention center, Brouwer said. It would address a current gap in services for the uninsured, although further programs did need to be developed for uninsured patients, particularly those with an additional diagnosis of substance abuse, he said.

The opening of a crisis intervention center would make the county’s comprehensive approach to the issue of mental illness in the criminal justice system “second to none,” Brouwer said.

The report “encompassed” the concerns Justice Matters has in regard to the incarceration of county residents with mental illness, said Randy Krehbiel, the group’s statistician. Justice Matters turned its attention to the incarceration issue and its relationship with the proposed expansion of the Douglas County Jail from its initial advocacy for better mental health services, he said.

“I thought it was an excellent report,” he said.

“My only concern is there are other ways to divert people from incarceration, as well, I hope the county considers.”

Krehbiel said in addition to better data sharing between county departments, those efforts include expansion of the county’s pilot electronic monitoring and measures to decrease bottlenecks in Douglas County District Court.

Overall, Gaughan said the report was confirmation that the county was taking the right approach to reducing the number of inmates with mental health issues.

“For a number of years we have been putting the right pieces in place, but any time you ask these questions of criminal justice and mental health, you always want to be better,” he said. “For me, the next question would be data collection to make sure we are taking the right steps and (improving) on what we see.”

not confirm whether the runaway and the reported rape victim are the same person.

All five witnesses named in the police report for the rape are basketball players. The sole witness named in the runaway report also is a basketball player. The reports indicate police also contacted a KU Athletics administrator in connection with the rape report and the same two 19-year-old women in both cases.

At Thursday’s media conference, Self said he could not speak to what type of information his players had given police, though he reiterated what police also have explained: that a witness in an investigation does not necessarily mean an eyewitness to a crime, but rather someone that may have been in the area before or after, or have other pertinent information to the investigation.

Self also was asked when he and KU Athletics officials learned of the report and what conversations they had.

Self did not confirm a date but said he and athletics leaders had talked about it.

“We met it head on,” he said.

“When the administration was made aware of it, I obviously was, as well.”

Self bristled at a question implying KU Athletics had held back information.

“There’s nobody withholding information at all,” he said.

Soofi on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to a single misdemeanor charge in the case. She awaits a trial date.

KU police currently are investigating the reported rape of a 16-year-old girl at McCarthy Hall, home to the basketball team and other male upperclass or transfer students. The rape is alleged to have occurred late Dec. 17 or early Dec. 18. Bragg was not one of the five KU basketball players listed as a witness in the rape case, but he was listed as a witness in a case where police responded to a report of a runaway at McCarthy in the early morning hours of Dec. 18. Further details about that incident have not been released.

Attempts to reach KU Athletics officials for further comment on Bragg’s suspension were not successful Thursday evening.

f you have done contortionist acts with a coat hanger in one hand and a radio dial in the other, you may be an AM radio listener. Well, there’s news on that front. One of Lawrence’s AM stations is expanding over to the FM dial.

The parent company that owns Lawrence’s KLWN 1320 has confirmed that it is launching a new FM station that will simulcast all KLWN programming, including Jayhawk athletics and the Kansas City Royals.

Tim Robisch, general manager for Great Plains Media, said the new radio station will broadcast at 101.7 on the radio dial.

The station actually is already on the air some, but its signal may be intermittent while technicians are tweaking signal strength and doing various other tests required by the FCC. Beginning Tuesday morning, the station is expected to be fully

operational. Robisch said the new station is big news for Great Plains, which in addition to KLWN 1320 also operates pop music station 105.9 KISS FM, and country music station 92.9 The Bull. KLWN is a news and sports talk radio station, with much of its morning and afternoon programing consisting of locally produced shows. Robisch said that will continue to be the case. The difference will be that people can now listen to it on an FM frequency, which is expected to produce a greater audience both geographically and

demographically.

“We know because of the technology that our signal now will get into Johnson County and Topeka, but we’re not going to change our focus on Douglas County,” Robisch said, although he thinks the change will be attractive to Lawrence commuters who work in Topeka or Kansas City.

The station’s transmitter is attached to the KANU public radio tower on the University of Kansas’ West Campus.

Robisch is hoping the FM frequency will attract some listeners who are otherwise hard to reach on the AM dial.

“There are a lot of people under the age of 40 that may never tune into AM radio,” Robisch said. “This will give us a chance to reach them.”

In addition, AM radio continues to face signal challenges as tall buildings, Bluetooth connections and other issues can cause interruptions

in the AM signal. KLWN took advantage of the federal AM Revitalization Act, which allows certain AM stations to purchase the frequency of an FM station to use as a simulcast channel for AM programming.

People who still like the AM experience, though, won’t have to change. KLWN programming will continue to be broadcast on the 1320 frequency. That means there now will be three Lawrence-based radio stations broadcasting KU sports — 1320, 105.9 and soon 101.7. Robisch said the Kansas City Royals also will be broadcast on the 101.7 frequency.

“But it also will include the high school football and basketball games that we do,” Robisch said. “I think people will really be excited about that.”

The room, which is generally unlocked during business hours, can seat about 40 people.

Dove, of Bonner Springs, has a state concealed carry permit, and firearms are allowed in the Statehouse.

He said he regularly carries the gun with a leg holster but took it off at the meeting because his ankle was swelling. He said he was alerted shortly after the

meeting that the secretary had turned the gun over to security officers, who locked it up overnight.

“It means I’m going to get me a shoulder holster,” Dove told reporters Thursday. “It makes me more aware that I need to be a lot more careful, and a shoulder holster — I’m always wearing a jacket.”

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

Despite not being present for half of the Lawrence school board’s last 10 meetings, board member Kristie Adair said she plans to finish out the remaining year of her term.

Since September, Adair has been absent for four of the board’s semimonthly meetings, and she videocalled in to a fifth in November. Adair missed the board’s most recent meet- Adair ing on Monday, but said she doesn’t plan to miss any more.

“Unfortunately with my business, I have had to be called away several times, but I am still very committed to my board seat and still very much would like to attend the meetings,” Adair said.

Adair said most of the recent absences were because she was traveling for business meetings, but that a couple were due to an illness in the family. Adair and her husband, Josh Montgomery, own a tech startup business, and he has recently been working full time in San Francisco.

She said she has had to travel for business meetings in San Francisco and Kansas City.

Though relocating is possible, Adair is still living in Lawrence, and said she doesn’t have plans to move at the moment.

Lawrence school officials brief lawmakers on virtual schools

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — A legislative committee that is charged with helping to craft the next Kansas school finance formula turned to the Lawrence and Spring Hill school districts Thursday to explain the ins and outs of virtual schools.

“The past 13 years, Lawrence Public Schools has served over 6,000 families in countless ways from school districts all across the state,” Lawrence superintendent Kyle Hayden told the House K-12 Education Budget Committee.

“We partner with school districts to create a viable Hayden schooling option for select children who are facing a number of different circumstances.”

The Lawrence Virtual School, with more than 1,100 full- and part-time students this year, is the largest public virtual school in the state, followed closely by Spring Hill, which has 867.9 full and part-time students.

According to the Kansas State Department of Education there are 107 virtual schools in Kansas.

Of those, 61 accept out-ofdistrict students from anywhere in the state, and the Lawrence and Spring Hill districts are among them.

That has always been one of the controversies about virtual schools because when Lawrence or Spring Hill recruits a

virtual student from another district, they also get the state per-pupil funding that goes along with that student. And for many years, they were allowed to count virtual students in their enrollment when calculating their local option budget authority.

During the current school year, the Lawrence district will receive just more than $5.5 million in state funding for its virtual school system.

Under state law, teachers and administrators of virtual school must be licensed in Kansas, and a special unit within the Kansas State Department of Education supervises them. Students in virtual schools also must take the same state assessments in reading, math and other subjects that students in traditional schools take, and the state issues the same kind of annual report cards for virtual schools that it does for other schools.

Virtual schools deliver instruction exclusively online. Usually the classes involve pre-recorded instruction from a teacher, coupled with assignments and tests so students can proceed at their own pace.

But they also provide opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

But Keith Wilson, director of Lawrence Virtual School, told the school is more than just a collection of online courses.

“And it’s far from being

just located on the internet,” he said. “We are located in the homes of Kansans, in classrooms throughout Kansas, and in the hearts and minds of our Kansas staff, families, students, host district and KSDE.” He described the student body as ranging “from a child actress on a current hit TV show to future Olympians in training; and from students with medical conditions to Kansas military families stationed all over the world.”

Some virtual schools also offer adult education that allows people age 19 and older to return to school and earn a standard high school diploma instead of a GED. Although virtual schools are open to any student, experts say they typically draw students who are having difficulty in a traditional brick-and-mortar school, including children who have been bullied or who suffer from anxiety or depression disorders. Other families consider it an alternative form of home schooling that allows parents to be more involved in their children’s education.

For that reason, virtual schools tend to have lower graduation rates, and their students have lower test scores, than the statewide average.

According to Department of Education figures, the standard four-year graduation rate for virtual schools was just 43 percent in 2016, and the fiveyear graduation rate was 45 percent. The statewide four-year graduation rate

was about 86 percent.

In debates over school finance issues, virtual schools have long been a source of controversy.

During its first 10 years, the Lawrence district’s virtual schools were run by a private company, K-12 Inc., which worked on contract with the district, using the company’s own teachers, administrators and curriculum.

But after the high school posted a graduation rate of just 26.3 percent, the district decided during the

districtwide rate of 85.7 percent.

Committee chairman Rep. Larry Campbell, ROlathe, said the presentations were intended only as a briefing for committee members to help them better understand virtual schools so they can be more informed when they start writing the virtual school component of the next finance formula.

2013-2014 school year to take over the program and manage the school itself with teachers and administrators employed and supervised directly by the district.

Hayden said after the meeting that since the district took over management of the virtual school, the graduation rate has grown considerably. According to KSDE data, the four-year graduation rate at Lawrence’s virtual school was 59.1 percent in 2015, compared to the

Shifting highway funds Lawmakers face a serious challenge in addressing the state’s continuing budget crisis.

I

t is easy to criticize Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to slash highway spending by more than 80 percent in order to shore up the state’s ailing budget. Identifying a viable alternative is more difficult.

That’s the challenge facing lawmakers — and there are many — who aren’t fond of Brownback’s plan to sweep a billion dollars in sales tax revenue out of the state highway fund over the next two years. How do you close an estimated billion-dollar deficit in the state’s budget through the 2018 fiscal year without gutting highway funding?

During a Senate Ways and Means Committee meeting this week, Kansas Department of Transportation officials discussed the impact of the Brownback cuts.

Under the proposed cuts, only $28 million would be spent next year to resurface 235 miles of roadway, and only $16 million more would be spent on other kinds of preservation projects. By comparison, Kansas spent an average of $157 million a year resurfacing 1,436 miles of roadway from 2011 through 2015 under the T-Works program approved in 2010. Since then, the state spent an average of $366 million a year on all types of preservation projects — resurfacing plus other maintenance.

Kansas Department of Transportation officials contend the state’s highways are in good shape overall and that the agency can maintain road conditions at a high level even if the cuts are implemented.

But the numbers have officials alarmed.

“It’s going to take us a long time to get back to where we would have been had the 2010 transportation plan been fully implemented,” Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said. “It’s going to take us a number of years to be able to adequately fund the transportation plan as it passed in the 2010 session.”

Hensley expressed concern that needed road projects will be pushed back and that by the time funding is restored to adequate levels, the state will be too far behind to catch up.

As an alternative, the Kansas Contractors Association is part of a coalition known as Rise Up Kansas that has proposed, among other things, an 11 cent per gallon increase in fuel taxes.

At present, Kansas charges 24 cents per gallon in gas taxes. An 11 cent increase would move Kansas into the top 10. Outside of California, Kansas would be the most expensive place to buy gas in the West.

For those reasons, such a large increase is unlikely to pass the Legislature. What does seem reasonable is a more modest tax increase of perhaps 5 percent. Such an increase would provide significantly more revenue for the highway fund over the long term.

A modest gasoline tax hike in combination with a one-time sweep of revenue from the state highway fund might be the reasonable alternative lawmakers seek.

What does Israel want from U.S.?

Tel Aviv, Israel — President Donald Trump’s embrace of Israel poses an unlikely dilemma for leaders of the Jewish state: They have to decide what they want from America, and on that question, there’s sharp disagreement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved to seize the Trump moment Tuesday by announcing that Israel plans to construct 2,500 new housing units in West Bank settlements. Just two days before, he and Trump had what the new president called a “very nice” phone conversation. “We’re building — and will continue to build,” an emboldened Netanyahu proclaimed Tuesday.

But Netanyahu’s quick move angered some other Israeli officials, who argue that more settlements will push Israel toward annexation of the West Bank that would mean the end of the “two-state solution.”

Yitzhak Herzog, head of the largest opposition bloc, said his supporters would resist a pro-settlement agenda that they see as a threat to Israel’s status as a Jewish democratic state.

Trump’s election offers what many Israelis have dreamed of — a relaxation of American pressure on Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians. But for some, it’s a case of “be careful what you wish for.” Israel’s views may now be decisive — but the country remains conflicted 50 years after the West Bank was seized in the 1967 war.

David Ignatius

“

Trump has proclaimed his desire to negotiate an Israeli-Palestinian agreement that, if he succeeded, would truly demonstrate ‘the art of the deal.’”

A panoramic narrative of the puzzles facing Israel in the age of Trump was presented this week at a conference hosted by the Institute for National Security Studies. The gathering was attended by nearly every top Israeli official, other than Netanyahu. The voices were sharply divergent.

“Israel must make a choice between separation and annexation,” argued Tzipi Livni, a parliament member who is one of the strongest advocates for a peace deal.

“With a new administration, there is no longer the same pressure from Washington that Israel experienced previously. Israel now has the opportunity — indeed, the obligation — to decide what kind of future it seeks.”

Proposals for what Israel should request from Trump ranged across the spectrum.

Naftali Bennett, who heads the right-wing Jewish Home party, used Trump’s signature line, “you’re fired,” to describe what he would say to Israeli officials who advocate what he described as a failed peace process. He presented a plan to formally declare Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank.

Herzog, in sharp disagreement, told the conference that Israel should start moving now toward an eventual Palestinian state. He outlined a 10-year transition plan that would conclude with resolving “final status” issues such as Jerusalem and the rights of refugees.

The alternative to such a separation process, he said, was Israel’s “suicide” as a democratic Jewish nation.

Israeli public opinion is divided, but according to a poll presented at the conference, 59 percent of Jewish citizens favor a two-state solution, and more than 60 percent support withdrawal from at least some settlements. Most Israelis, including peace advocates, favor retention of large settlement blocks around Jerusalem in any final deal.

Americans attending the conference urged Israel to be cautious in its requests to Trump. “It’s hard to say what Donald Trump will do, because I’m not sure he himself knows,” said Martin Indyk, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel who was the Obama administration’s special emissary during its push for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement.

As a sign of Trump’s start-

up uncertainty, Indyk noted that within the past week, the new administration seemed to have moved from advocating a quick relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem (which could trigger incendiary reaction in the Muslim world) to saying that the issue was in the “very early stages” of decision.

Walter Russell Mead, a prominent foreign policy scholar who teaches at Bard College, cautioned that Trump took office with a low popularity rating and a minority of the vote. Mead urged that Israelis “not get identified with Donald Trump in the popular mood in the U.S.,” and that he not be seen as “Israel’s man.”

Trump has proclaimed his desire to negotiate an Israeli-Palestinian agreement that, if he succeeded, would truly demonstrate “the art of the deal.” But Itamar Rabinovich, a former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and a veteran of peace negotiations, warned the conference: “You cannot be a broker ... by making a deal that’s 90 percent pro-Israel.

It won’t fly.”

Shlomo Avineri, a prominent Israeli academic, offered a stark summary of his nation’s dilemma. “Israel after 1967 didn’t make up its mind what kind of country it wanted to be, in geography or demography. ... This year we should say what kind of Israel we want.” That’s the conundrum Trump presents: What should Israelis ask for?

The University of Kansas debate squad finished the fall semester ranked first in the country in the national varsity debate rankings.

Its season continues this semester and is off to a good start, thanks to strong performances over the weekend, KU announced this week.

waistband at the start of a committee hearing where children were present.

The gun didn’t go off.

In 2013, an aide to Missouri’s House speaker resigned after leaving a loaded handgun in a Capitol bathroom.

forward to finishing up my term,” Adair said.

“Right now that looks like a very real possibility.

There are no concrete plans for us to leave Kansas at the moment.”

Last year, Adair had a string of absences lasting about a month toward the end of the selection process for the school district’s new superintendent, Kyle Hayden. In addition to board meetings, Adair didn’t participate in interviewing and selecting semifinalists and finalists for the position. Adair said at the time that those absences were also related to her business, which had been accepted into a 90-day business accelerator program.

need to be addressed — nor is there a Topeka city ordinance.

The Kansas House’s Republican leaders said they’re still gathering information about the incident. State Rep. Melissa Rooker, a Fairway Republican and Education Committee member, said legislators often hear gun owners described in debates as responsible.

“This is disconcerting,” she said.

Asked about others’ concerns that leaving a gun behind unattended created a safety issue, Dove declined to respond.

The incident in Kansas became public on the day that a state Senate committee held a hearing on legislation that would repeal a law allowing

people to carry concealed weapons into public hospitals and clinics, and into buildings on state university and college campuses. The law is set to take effect in July.

Dove voted for that concealed carry law.

During the hearing, one former lawmaker said he was carrying a concealed weapon, and Democratic Sen. Lynn Rogers, of Wichita, told him, “I guess I would appreciate you not leaving it here afterwards like it’s happened here recently, so thank you.”

Dove, a 71-year-old insurance agency owner, was first elected to the House in 2012, and easily won re-election last year in his GOP-leaning northeast Kansas district.

president of the school board, suggested that Adair should resign if she wasn’t going to attend meetings.

Adair said she currently doesn’t have any meetings scheduled that will conflict with her board duties, but hopes to make other arrangements to participate in meetings should something come up again.

Adair said she has suggested to the board that in the event of future absences, she could attend by video conference again.

“I hope that if something comes up last minute that I will be allowed to attend the meetings virtually and be able to participate,” Adair said.

However, she said the board has not been very receptive of that arrangement and declined her offer to virtually attend Monday’s meeting.

“I had to be away for a couple of weeks for business,” Adair said. “I did

offer and was very willing to attend the school board meeting virtually, as I’ve done in the past. But the president of the board thought it not prudent because of the reaction that we received last time that I attended the meeting virtually.”

Board president Marcel Harmon did not immediately return a call Thursday seeking comment.

There is not an explicit procedure regarding attendance in the board policy manual, but it is mentioned in the ethics section. That section states that school board members will “attend all regularly scheduled board meetings insofar as possible and become informed concerning the issues to be considered at those meetings.”

KU debaters competed at a tournament hosted

Harris also won an award over the weekend, the inaugural Jeffrey W. Jarman Person of the Year Award in recognition of his contributions to the larger debate community.

Jarman is associate director of the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State and earned his doctorate in communication studies from KU.

FEWER BORDER ARRESTS, HIGHER BUDGET INCREASES

Total undocumented immigrant arrests at the U.S.-Mexican border and enacted Border Patrol program budget, in fiscal years:

WASHINGTON President Trump’s plan for a wall along the Mexican border could be financed through a 20% border tax on all imports from the southern neighbor, the White House said Thursday.

“It clearly provides the funding and does so in a way that the American taxpayer is wholly respected,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said.

“We are probably the only major country that doesn’t treat imports this way.”

Shortly after he announced the proposal in an unscheduled “gaggle” with reporters on Air Force One, Spicer clarified to a separate group of reporters in the West Wing that it was just one proposal. “There are clearly a bunch of ways it can be done,” he said. “The point is American taxpayers are not going to fund it.”

“THERE ARE CLEARLY A BUNCH OF WAYS IT CAN BE DONE. THE POINT IS AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ARE NOT GOING TO FUND IT.” White House spokesman Sean Spicer

American consumers may have to pay more for products ranging from Toyotas to vegetables to beer if a proposal floated by President Trump to impose a 20% tariff on Mexican imports goes into effect.

Trump raised the idea of the new tax as a possible way to finance a wall that would straddle the border separating the U.S. from Mexico, currently its third largest partner in the trade of goods, according to the U.S. Trade Representative.

William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, says that while a stronger dollar could minimize the pain U.S. shoppers feel, “the irony of putting a tariff on Mexican goods is that, to the extent it raises consumer prices in the U.S., consumers will be paying for the wall, not Mexican pro-

Mexico sent $295 billion worth of goods across the U.S. border in 2015, the office of the Trade Representative says. Overall, U.S. imports from its southern neighbor peaked at $316.4 billion that year.

That’s in contrast to Mexican-bound exports from the U.S. that amounted to $267.2 billion.

The biggest import is cars, with the U.S. spending $74 billion in 2015 for the hundreds of thousands of Chevrolet and Ram trucks, as well as Volkswagens, Fords, Hondas, Nissans and other brands that are assembled in Mexican factories.

Super Bowl recovery takes time, so how ’bout a holiday?

Heinz petition seeks day off after big game Erik Brady

@ByErikBrady USA TODAY Sports

Heinz is giving employees the day off on the Monday after the Super Bowl. It wants you to have the day off, too. It’s an idea designed to be as popular as ketchup on french fries.

“We are trying to rally people around the idea that the day after the big game should really be a

day to celebrate,” Nicole Kulwicki, head of Heinz brands, says.

“And in fact, it should be a national holiday, which we have lovingly named ‘Smunday.’ ” Heinz asks supporters to sign a petition at www.smunday.org and says that if it gets more than 100,000, it will send the petition to Congress.

The tone of the campaign is a joke: “Sign it. For your sanity. For your family. For your country.”

But Kulwicki insists it is a serious effort. The petition says 16 million people call in sick or don’t show up the day after the Super Bowl, which Heinz is careful to call “the Big Game.” That’s be-

cause Heinz is not a Super Bowl advertiser.

People in the industry call this sort of thing ambush marketing, in which a brand tries to associate itself with an event although it is not paying to be a sponsor.

“We are calling it a grass-roots effort,” Kulwicki says.

Heinz produced an online spot that shows ketchup and mustard containers talking up the holiday.

“We would have loved it if the Steelers were in it, Pittsburgh being the home of Heinz,” Kulwicki says. “But we are still rallying around (the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons) and are excited for the Big Game.”

January and November are already two-holiday months. February, the shortest month, has Presidents’ Day. Does it really need another national holiday?

“The Monday after the game is one of the worst days of the year,” Kulwicki says. “Nobody wants to go to work the day after.”

Yanking $320M in aid to Mexico a risk, experts say Wide-ranging funds may not help in bargaining Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

The United States directs an average of $320 million worth of aid a year to Mexico for various programs, all of which appear to be targets for President Trump as he looks for ways to pay for the proposed border wall with our southern neighbor.

But specialists say the aid won’t make for much of a bargaining chip as he tries to goad Mexico into footing the bill for the wall, and in fact, yanking the aid could backfire entirely.

Trump directed the government Wednesday to total the amount of “direct and indirect Federal aid or assistance to the Government of Mexico on an annual basis” in an executive order.

That preceded a series of backand-forth moves Thursday in which Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said his country would not pay for the wall and canceled a planned meeting with Trump next week.

Then the Trump administration said it would hit Mexican imWASHINGTON

ports with a 20% border tax, and then reversed field to say the planned tax was just an option.

The largest chunk of U.S. aid goes toward law enforcement — including helping Mexican authorities capture drug lords — supporting improvements to the Mexican judicial system and security, including along Mexico’s southern border, helping stem the flow of immigrants from Central and South America.

“If we cut off aid to Mexico, we strengthen the drug cartels, we make our border region a lot more lawless place, and we make it easier for undocumented immigrants from Central America to reach the U.S.-Mexico border,” said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University.

Trump’s executive order doesn’t specify what the aid information will be used for, but its inclusion in the order suggests Trump could try to use it as leverage in negotiations over paying for the wall.

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said Thursday there were “a buffet of options” to pay for the wall.

According to the U. S. Agency for International Development, roughly a dozen agencies directed roughly $1.6 billion overall in aid to Mexico from 2011 to 2015, the most recent year for which complete data is available.

The State Department, Defense

CHRISTIAN TORRES, AP

A Mexican soldier stands guard near the Mexico-U.S. border fence separating Anapra, Mexico, and Sunland Park, N. M. Department and USAID provided the largest amounts, accounting for 95% of the $338 million in aid in 2015.

The remainder included smaller slivers from the departments of Energy, Labor, Interior, and Health and Human Services, and the Peace Corps, among others.

Law enforcement and counternarcotics initiatives accounted for $260 million, while support for justice and legal reforms added up to roughly $10 million, and military aid accounting for another $10 million.

The other aid initiatives in 2015 include: u$5.7 million for a program to improve the competitiveness of Mexican businesses and to improve “environmental policy management to mitigate climate change and preserve Mexican biodiversity.” u$4.4 million to help with implementation of programs to reduce emissions from forest deforestation and degradation. u$4 million to support Mexican-led efforts to develop and im-

Spicer calls trade policy ‘ridiculous’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Reince Priebus said the tax proposal was part of a “buffet of options.”

The proposal and subsequent backtracking underscored how quickly the Trump White House is churning out policy proposals in a hectic first week in office, when the calendar was crowded with meetings, speeches and executive actions.

The border tax plan would need congressional approval, and Spicer described it as the beginning of a process that would be part of a tax overhaul. The tax proposal would dovetail two of Trump’s signature policies: curtailing illegal immigration and enacting more protectionist trade regulations.

The U.S. trade deficit with Mexico was $49.2 billion in 2015, according to the U.S. Trade Representative. Though Spicer didn’t explain how the tax would work, the principle is similar to a border adjustment tax being discussed in Congress, which would heavily tax imports but give a tax credit on exports. “Right now, our country’s policy is to tax exports and let imports flow freely in, which is ridiculous,” Spicer said.

Spicer ran through the math by applying 20% to the difference, coming up with nearly $10 billion a year.

The United States could “easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone,” he said.

CRITICS FEAR 20% HIKE ON FOOD v 1B

only product that U.S. importers bring in from Mexico. Other key categories include machinery, medical instruments, and mineral fuels. The country is also the U.S.’ second-biggest provider of agricultural products, with imports amounting to $21 billion in 2015.

“It is very troubling for world food and agricultural markets for Administration spokespersons to bandy about terms like a 20% tax on all imports from Mexico or other countries,” Tom Stenzel, President and CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association said in a statement. “Consider the impact on American consumers of a 20% hike in the cost of foods such as bananas, mangoes and other products that we simply cannot grow in the United States. Consider also what other countries would do to block U.S. exports in retaliation. As the Administration looks to incentivize manufacturing jobs in the U.S., we urge President Trump to consider the unique nature of food and not place a new food tax on American consumers.”

Fresh vegetables purchased from Mexico totaled $4.8 billion in 2015, according to the office of the Trade Representative. Snack food imports totaled $1.7 billion, while wine and beer $2.7 billion and processed fruit and vegetables peaked at $1.4 billion two years ago.

Representative Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, said in a statement that a tariff would not only “disrupt Texas commerce with our most important trading partner, but it would raise consumer prices by 20% on many goods, like so much of the fresh produce upon which we rely at this time of year.”

Automakers have flocked across the border, not only lured by low wages, but to tap into a skilled labor force and Mexico’s multitude of trade deals with countries across the globe.

The U.S. has made use of services from Mexico in transportation, travel, technology and other industries.

Such imports amounted to roughly $21.6 billion in 2015, 11% more than the year before, and roughly 191% more than what was spent on imported services in 1993, before NAFTA.

plement a low-emissions development strategy. u$4 million for crime and violence prevention.

The Bernstein Research group estimated the cost for building the southern border wall could range from $15 billion to $25 billion. If the USA redirected all of its foreign aid, at the current annual average, it would take nearly 50 years to reach the low end of that range.

Non-partisan specialists and human rights advocates say that cutting off aid in the first place will embolden the cartels whose drugs already flow into the USA. “Those cartels are going to operate with a lot more freedom, and the products that they produce — heroin, meth amphetamine, cocaine — are small in volume and don’t need to be taken into areas where walls are built, they’ll be taken through ports of entry and flood the US market,” said Adam Isacson, a regional and military security specialist at Washington Office on Latin America, a research and advocacy group.

Jones of Rice University said the Mexican government believes the drug problem is one of U.S. consumption rather than the cartels, so if the USA cuts aid and our relations turn more hostile, “they’re going to be more likely to turn a blind eye to cartel activity as long as it focuses on exporting to the United States.”

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New York early Thursday after he got into an altercation with another man during a performance-art project that has seen him chanting “He will not divide us” in front of a live camera since Donald Trump’s first day as president.

Police said LaBeouf pulled the scarf of a 25-year-old man outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, scratching his face in the process. LaBeouf intends to run the exhibit 24 hours a day for the next four years.

Rosamund Pike is 38. Patton Oswalt is 48. Alan Cumming is 52.

Mary Cadden

Nearly 70 years after her death, America’s first flapper is more ubiquitous than ever.

Zelda Fitzgerald has long been a source of pop-culture fascination, inspiring both a song (The Eagles’ Witchy Woman) and a video game character (The Legend of Zelda), and cropping up in movies (Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris) and TV shows (a Season 4 episode of Magnum, P.I.). Last fall, news surfaced that Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson are attached to competing biopics being developed about the Jazz Age icon. Now, Amazon Prime is hopping on the Fitzgerald fixation with its new streaming series Z: The Beginning of Everything (out Friday).

Based on Therese Anne Fowler’s Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, the 10-episode period drama stars Christina Ricci as the fashionable socialite and writer, tracing her modest beginnings in Montgomery, Ala., and whirlwind romance with novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald. The first season culminates in Zelda’s discovery that she’s pregnant with her first and only child, Frances (aka “Scottie”) — years before her marriage to Scott was mired by alcoholism, mutual infidelity and her struggles with mental illness.

NICOLE RIVELLI

The tempestuous romance between Zelda (Christina Ricci) and F. Scott Fitzgerald (David Hoflin) is at the heart of Amazon’s Z. Going into Z, “I kind of knew the common misconception everyone has about her, that she was a crazy alcoholic woman who ruined F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life,” Ricci says. “To me, anytime someone’s dismissed that way, it’s kind of, ‘Oh, there must be something really interesting here.’ ... For us, giving Zelda a first-person account felt like a bit of justice for her.”

Before Nancy Milford’s definitive 1970 biography Zelda, the most telling window into her life was through her husband’s novels: he featured aspects of her personality and their marriage into This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and the Damned, The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night — the latter was written around the time of Zelda’s hospitalization in 1932 for schizophrenia. She died 12 years later at age 47 in a fire at a psychiatric hospital in Asheville, N.C., where she was being treated.

“We’re very attracted to this

glam couple of the ’20s, but the flip side of their story is this somber tale of a lot of misfortune,” says R. Clifton Spargo, author of Beautiful Fools: The Last Affair of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. “In the ’30s, a lot of the adversity the Fitzgeralds face in their personal lives is some of what makes them ultimately admirable. There’s a way in which we treat her too reductively as the ‘it’ girl flapper, and then on the other side, the easily caricatured version of her and her mental breakdown.”

Ricci found biographies such as Sally Kline’s Zelda Fitzgerald: Her Voice in Paradise helpful in illuminating Zelda’s glittering personality and devotion to motherhood. She believes we continue to be intrigued by Fitzgerald, who published only one novel (1932’s Save Me the Waltz), because she was a woman ahead of her time.

Says Ricci, “Her mindset was much more like a modern woman’s.”

Two sex crimes were reported in Lawrence on Wednesday, police say.

The first was reported at 2:41 p.m. in the 100 block of East 11th Street, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs. Three officers responded to the call.

The Lawrence Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, where a portion of the police department is housed, is located at 111 E. 11th St. The second sex crime was reported at 10:15 p.m. in the 1900 block of Maple Lane, the logs indicate. Five police officers responded to the scene.

Kansas lawmaker pursuing transgender bathroom bill Topeka (ap) — A Kansas lawmaker has introduced a bill to prevent transgender students in public schools from using facilities associated with their current gender identities.

Republican state Rep. John Whitmer of Wichita introduced the bill Thursday in the House. He argues the measure would protect students.

Under the bill, schools could not allow transgender students to use bathrooms or locker rooms associated with the gender opposite of theirs at birth. The policy also would apply to overnight accommodations when student groups travel.

Schools could provide “alternative facilities” for transgender students.

Those who think a school has violated the policy could file complaints with the attorney general’s office, which would be allowed to take the school to court.

LGBT advocate Tom Witt decried the bill as giving the attorney general unfettered prosecutorial power.

Fancy fruit and coffee coming to HERE W

hen I was in college, pizza, beer and abacus stores were the most likely type of businesses to locate next to the KU campus. In a sign of changing times, I’ve gotten word that the first two tenants in a new retail development next to KU will be an international coffee house and a unique shop that sells fancy fruit.

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Two deals have been signed for retail space inside the massive HERE apartment complex at 11th and Indiana streets, Allison Vance Moore, a broker with the Lawrence office of Colliers International, told me.

Topeka-based PT’s Coffee Roasting and Edible Arrangements have signed leases to locate in the building’s commercial space that fronts Indiana Street, according to Moore, who brokered the deals.

Look for more commercial businesses to come. The building — which has apartment space totaling more than 600 bedrooms — has about 5,000 square feet of commercial space along Mississippi Street, and Moore said she’s already got about half

Journal-World File Photo

THE HERE APARTMENT COMPLEX, pictured in this Oct. 17, 2016, file photo, now has its first two commercial tenants. of that space leased. No word on what tenant will go into the location, but the Mississippi Street space — which is right across the street from Memorial Stadium — has been marketed to restaurants.

As for the two confirmed tenants, let’s start with the fruit. Edible Arrangements is a shop that sells “bouquets” of fruit.

Francis Katzer owns the Topeka franchise, and will be opening the Lawrence store, hopefully by March 1, she said.

Katzer challenged me to think of all the times I’ve needed to buy flowers. OK ... birthdays, apologies for forgotten birthdays, anniversaries, apologies for forgotten anniversaries and several

other things that I’m sure I will remember once my key no longer opens the front door. Well, for all those things, I could have bought a bouquet of fresh fruit instead of flowers. Katzer has a simple argument of why that’s a good idea.

“Flowers are pretty, but you don’t eat them,” she said.

She promises that the fruit bouquets will be pretty too. Pineapples are made to look like daisies.

Strawberries, melons, grapes and other fruits are manipulated to look like plants and flower arrangements too. Plus, the store stocks gourmet chocolate that is used to dip strawberries, apples, bananas and other fruit.

Katzer has had the

Topeka store for about four years, and she said it received a lot of orders from Lawrence, so much so that the store started delivering to Lawrence once a week. When the spot near the KU campus became available, she decided to expand into the city. In addition to the fruit bouquets, the store will sell fresh fruit smoothies and frozen yogurt.

Next, the coffee house.

PT’s Coffee Roasting is Topeka based, and, yes, I did call it an international coffee house. Sometimes the proposals coming out of the Statehouse in Topeka sound like they’ve come from Make Believe Land, but that is not the international aspect I was referring to.

Instead, I’m talking about how the company gets coffee beans from around the world, roasts them, then gains international recognition for its work.

The company has been named roaster of the year by Roast Magazine, and it sells its coffee beans in shops, restaurants and select grocery

stores nationwide.

PT’s, however, only operates two coffee shops of its own — one near the Washburn campus in Topeka, and one in the Crossroad District of Kansas City. Both the Topeka and Kansas City locations have breakfast > HERE, 2C

and lunch menus with lots of grab-and-go items like sandwiches, pastries and breakfast burritos.

The Topeka location also has a bar that serves microbrewery beer, wine and specialty cocktails.

Jeff Taylor, president of PT’s, said work on the Lawrence space is expected to start soon, and he hopes the shop opens in March or April.

Taylor said PT’s recently decided it wants to have more retail locations, but Taylor said the company made a decision to stay off of Lawrence’s Massachusetts Street. PT’s provides coffee to shops in 32 states, and some of

those shops are in downtown Lawrence. He said he didn’t want to open a shop in downtown Lawrence for that reason. But when the space became available in the HERE building, he thought that would be a way to enter the Lawrence market without competing against his wholesale coffee buyers in Lawrence.

In addition to coffee, the Lawrence location will carry several graband-go items for breakfast and lunch. It also will have a small selection of beers on tap, but Taylor said the location doesn’t have any interest in becoming a bar. He said the establishment likely will close at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. on most nights.

PT’s will be at the space right at the corner

of 11th and Indiana. Edible Arrangements will be in space farther along Indiana Street.

As I hear more about the other businesses going into the building, I’ll let you know.

Bragg suspended from basketball team

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

An already bad week for the Kansas men’s basketball program got worse Thursday night, when KU coach Bill Self announced that sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. had been suspended indefinitely, effective immediately.

Self said in a news release that Bragg’s suspension was not connected to the Bragg reported rape at McCarthy Hall in December, the on-campus men’s basketball apartment building that opened

Self: No connection to reported McCarthy Hall incident a year and a half ago.

“Carlton is suspended for a violation of team rules,” Self said in a statement. “This violation is not connected to the alleged incident in McCarthy Hall on December 17th.”

The suspension is the second slapped on Bragg in the last 50 days and adds another dismal chapter to a sophomore season that has been a far cry from what many expected from the 6-foot-10 Cleveland native who was a McDonald’s All-American and five-star recruit coming out of high school.

Bragg’s first suspension, which cost him one game, was the result of his involvement in a

battery case in early December.

He was initially arrested but ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing when a surveillance video surfaced that showed Bragg acted in self-defense.

With Bragg expected to miss this weekend’s game at No. 4 Kentucky — 5:15 p.m. Saturday at Rupp Arena in Lexington — and possibly longer, the Jayhawks’ already short-handed lineup becomes paper thin.

Since the start of the year, Self had settled in on giving most of the minutes to just seven players. With Bragg and his 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15 minutes per game being one of those, KU’s bench now

consists of just one player who has logged consistent minutes this season, sophomore guard Lagerald Vick.

Freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot has operated as the Jayhawks’ eighth man during recent weeks, but Lightfoot has played double-digit minutes just one time this season (14 vs. UMKC in early December) and is averaging 4.3 minutes per game in 15 games this season.

Lightfoot’s eight minutes on the floor during Tuesday’s loss at West Virginia matched his total playing time in the Jayhawks’ previous seven games combined.

UK’s formidable Adebayo a major key in Kansas-Kentucky clash

Tom Keegan

orget the 6-foot-10-inch frame or the 260 pounds so generously stacked onto it.

If not for the nickname given to him at an early age, Kentucky freshman Bam Adebayo might not be nearly the imposing figure that he has become on the college basketball landscape.

No matter how talented or He’s a physically gifted the young man might have been, there’s no way great player. that the name Edrice Adebayo Physically, would have carried with it the people awesome visual that so perfectly compare describes the way he plays.

According to a recent Sports him to (NBA Illustrated feature about Ade- star) Dwight bayo’s upbringing, the nickname was given to him at the age of 1, Howard, so when he overturned a table in clearly he the family home in Little Wash- looks the ington, N.C. part and he’s Having stuck with him ever since, Adebayo has been known been playing as much for his nickname as he well.” has his ability to dominate on the floor. And the Kansas men’s bas- — Landen Lucas ketball team, which will take on Adebayo and the fourth-ranked Wildcats at 5 p.m. Saturday in Lexington, Ky., have taken notice.

“He’s a monster,” said KU coach Bill Self of

James Crisp/AP File Photo

KENTUCKY’S EDRICE “BAM” ADEBAYO (3) pulls down a rebound near Canisius’ Phil Valenti during the second half of an NCAA basketball game Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016, in Lexington, Ky. Defending against Adebayo will be key to the Jayhawks’ success in winning their Saturday matchup against the fourth-ranked Wildcats.

arlton Bragg Jr.’s suspension, announced Thursday night, is indefinite. If that morphs into permanent, well, that doesn’t necessarily make Kansas a worse basketball team. Eight healthy scholarship players going in the same direction beats eight going one way, a ninth going nowhere.

In many ways, Bragg hasn’t really seemed to be all there much of the time this season.

He doesn’t play with the same enthusiasm, the same confidence, as during a promising freshman season when he wasn’t needed as much on this season’s depth-shy team needed him after Udoka Azubuike went down with a season-ending wrist injury.

A McDonald’s All-American from Cleveland, Bragg has averaged 6.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 personal fouls and 1.1 turnovers in 15 minutes a game.

The aura of disappointment that surrounds the personal-foul-plagued Bragg intensifies given the level of his potential. At 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds with explosive jumping ability and the speed to run the floor faster than most men his size, Bragg teases coaches and teammates with talent, but ultimately doesn’t deliver.

His first suspension, imposed when he was charged with battery of his girlfriend, lasted one game and was rescinded when charges were dropped after a district attorney reviewed surveillance video that resulted in his girlfriend being charged.

Getting cleared of wrongdoing didn’t seem to clear his head.

Kansas can’t get away with playing six players in Bragg’s absence, so freshman Mitch Lightfoot and junior Dwight Coleby will be pressed into action.

Lightfoot, a 6-8, 210-pound freshman from Gilbert, Ariz., lacks the experience to have sophisticated attention to detail, but plays with a physical edge. He hits the boards hard. In 65 minutes, he has 17 points and 18 rebounds.

He has made just 2 of 12 free throws.

Coleby, a transfer from Ole Miss who missed out on what would have been valuable practice time last season because he underwent ACL surgery, can block shots and rebound.

A 6-9, 240-pound native of Nassau, Bahamas, Coleby has totaled 12 points, 20 boards and six blocked shots in 57 minutes.

Neither Lightfoot nor Coleby is ideally suited to battle the talented big men from Kentucky (Saturday in Lexington) and Baylor (Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse). Then again, neither is Bragg. Potential is no substitute for production and it’s tough to produce without having a head clear enough to avoid a suspension for violating team rules.

Piper scores 28 in win over Wichita NW SCOREBOARD

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There were times Thursday when Free State’s girls basketball team had a stagnant offense. Other moments when simple passes became careless turnovers.

Fortunately for the Firebirds, senior Madison Piper was at her best.

The 5-foot-11 Piper scored a season-high 28 points in a 47-37 victory over Wichita Northwest in the first round of the Firebird Winter Classic at FSHS. Piper, signed to play at Santa Clara, said her shot felt good in warmups and it simply transferred onto the court. She made her first four shots, which included three triples and a mid-range jumper.

“It’s pretty great,” FSHS junior Cameryn Thomas said. “She’s pretty much on every single night so she’s nice to have on the court.”

The Firebirds (7-3) led by eight points in the second quarter when junior guard Erin Cushing drilled a 3-pointer on a pass from Piper.

Then Northwest junior guard Madison Surmeier did her best impersonation of Piper. Surmeier scored 11 straight points for the Grizzles against Free State’s zone defense,

FREE STATE SENIOR MADISON PIPER (14) dribbles past Witchita Northwest junior Dejanae Arnold (12) in the second quarter of Thursday’s game at FSHS. including three 3-pointers, trimming her team’s deficit to 26-22.

In the second half, Free State cleaned up its defense. The Grizzlies were held to just five points in the third quarter while the Firebirds went on a 9-2 run in the last six minutes. Piper scored five and freshman point guard Caely Kesten added four.

But even during a 9-2 run, Free State’s offense wasn’t as smooth as it appeared on the scoreboard.

The Firebirds turned the ball over six times in seven minutes.

“We just have a hard time getting into any kind of rhythm,” FSHS coach Ted Juneau said after his team finished with

24 turnovers. “We turn it over. Make silly passes. Then try too hard. It happens, you go through streaks like that. But as I told them, a tournament is just win and keep going. We did that.”

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies did their best to double-team Piper each time she caught the ball against their 2-3 zone. But with four minutes left, Piper, Free State’s all-time leading scorer, broke away from her closest defender and drilled a 3-pointer for a 10-point lead.

Piper finished with a double-double, securing a game-high 11 rebounds while shooting 8-of-15 from the floor and a per-

No. 3 Gonzaga 79, San Diego 43 Spokane, Wash. — Nigel Williams-Goss scored 25 points as undefeated and third-ranked Gonzaga beat San Diego on Thursday night, clearing one obstacle to a possible No. 1 ranking next week.

Johnathan Williams added 13 points and 12 rebounds for Gonzaga (21-0, 9-0 West Coast), which has the nation’s longest winning streak at 21 games. The Zags are the nation’s last remaining undefeated Division I team.

If Gonzaga can win at Pepperdine on Saturday, the Zags have a good chance of claiming the top spot in the next Top 25 as No. 1 Villanova and No. 2 Kansas lost this week.

The Trojans (4-6) missed two shots in the final 30 seconds with an opportunity to tie the score.

Lightfoot and junior Dwight Coleby both stand to see an increase in minutes and the possibility exists that the Jayhawks also will look to play more zone defense to protect starting forward Landen Lucas and allow the length of players like Josh Jackson, Svi Mykhailiuk and Vick help them survive on the defensive end.

Asked after Tuesday’s loss to WVU how it felt to play extended minutes and how he managed to handle limited playing time so far this season, Lightfoot provided an answer that now rings more true than ever.

Lightfoot, a 6-8, 210-pound forward from Gilbert, Arizona, who has shown an abundance of poise and confidence when he has taken the floor, said he had total faith in his head coach to bring him along.

“Like coach says, reps are gonna help me get better and I believe him,” Lightfoot said. “He’s been here and done this before and he knows way more about it than I do. So I’m just gonna trust him. He knows best. And when I’m out there I’m gonna give it everything I’ve got for us to win — rebounding, defending, whatever he needs.”

5 areas of concern for Kansas, as seen in its 2 losses

T

he Kansas basketball team loses so infrequently — see: the Jayhawks’ two setbacks 20 games into this season and just 6.4 a year in Bill Self’s previous 13 seasons in charge at KU — it’s easy to spot the common issues that led to defeats over the course of a few months.

The Jayhawks went more than 10 weeks between their season-opening loss to Indiana, in Honolulu, and their first Big 12 road bump Tuesday at West Virginia, but a handful of commonalities tied the games together.

Here are five areas of concern that emerged for Kansas (18-2 overall, 7-1 Big 12) in its defeats.

1. Uncharacteristically low field-goal percentage Headed into Saturday’s primetime showdown at Kentucky, KU is shooting .498 from the field this season. But the Jayhawks underperformed offensively in both of their losses. In a 103-99 overtime loss to the Hoosiers, KU went 31-for-71 (.437). At West Virginia, the reigning Big 12 champions only made 25 of 69 shots (.424).

The Jayhawks actually have shot worse and won this season (.387 against Georgia, and .403 at Oklahoma), but a below-average outing against talented, high-profile teams typically won’t cut it. When shots aren’t falling, working harder for better looks is a must.

boards in five games.

The Jayhawks’ average margin for the season is +5.9, but, as you probably guessed or remember, they were outrebounded in both of their losses. Indiana dominated the glass, 50-39, and WVU outworked KU 39-32 on the boards.

There obviously isn’t an abundance of size within KU’s rotation. Senior Landen Lucas (11.3 rebounds a game in Big 12 play) and freshman Josh Jackson (6.6) need all the help they can get on the glass. In KU’s lone conference loss so far, substitutes Carlton Bragg Jr. and Lagerald Vick each only contributed one rebound, while playing a combined 26 minutes. And now, Self announced Thursday night, Bragg has been suspended indefinitely.

3. Bench scoring Speaking of Bragg and Vick, they essentially represented the extent of the Kansas bench because they had been the only two substitutes with consistent roles.

Plenty has changed for the Jayhawks since their November loss to Indiana, when the 2. Rebound margin Hoosiers’ backups outscored Self will be the first to say KU’s 28-21. Svi Mykhailiuk this team doesn’t rebound has moved into the starting like he wants it to. KU has lineup and Udoka Azubuike is out-rebounded its foes on 12 occasions, drawn even in three out for the season with a wrist games and lost the battle of the injury. And bench production

and Josh Jackson — needs to step up and give KU a scoring boost.

5. Opposing frontcourt players going off Self doesn’t have waves of big men to utilize in the paint the way some of his past teams did, and KU’s opponents have taken note.

Six-foot-10 Indiana center Thomas Bryant and 6-8 forward OG Anunoby overpowered KU in the opener, when Bryant produced 19 points and 10 rebounds and Anunoby went for 13 points and seven Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo boards.

Trio lifts FSHS girls bowling to first place at quadrangular

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Free State bowling coach Burton Gepford knew his girls team, in particular, had a chance to win when he saw how his squad stacked up against the opposition.

Still, after four consecutive second-place finishes to start the year, Gepford knew he needed some of his players to step up if they were going to come away victorious for the first time in 2017.

And they did just that.

Three Firebirds finished in the top-five, to seal the crown in Wednesday’s Free State quadrangular at Royal Crest Lanes.

10th and 11th holes, and with two par 5s ahead of him, starting to believe this could be a strong start.

“And it went the other way,” Woods said. “I hit bad tee shots and made a bad three-putt and laid up from the rough into rough. I just kept compounding problems and mistakes out there.”

Starting with No. 12, he played the next six holes in 6 over, with a double bogey on the 15th hole the biggest blow.

bowlers step up and take a leadership role and have a big day,” Gepford said. “With the teams that were here, we looked like we could match up really well now that the girls are in routine and used to the lanes.”

Free State finished with a total sore of 2040, ahead of Olathe Northwest, which came in second with a mark of 1911.

Gardner-Edgerton and Shawnee Mission West

rounded out the meet, recording a 1790 and 1645, respectively.

Sapphie Knight was the team’s highest scorer — second in the quadrangular — rolling a threegame score of 542. Freshman Nicole Miele’s 539 was good enough to post the third-best score while junior Morgan Wright came in fifth with a 490.

Both Knight and Miele recorded their best individual game during Game

Two. Knight bowled a a season-best mark of 213, while Miele notched a 184 in the same lane. Wright’s best score (183) came in her final game of the afternoon.

“Sapphie Knight did really well last tournament,” Gepford said.

“This tournament she had two really good games.

Her third game was OK and she still finished in the top (two).”

Gepford credited the team’s growth over the early part of the season as well as the familiarity of the lanes, which led to their first victory since Feb. 11 of last year.

As a team, the Firebirds claimed four first-place finishes in 2016, including

continuing to score the ball more and it seems like the guys are throwing it to him more and they’re developing more of a low-post presence offensively as the season progresses.

Obviously, he’s a big key.”

For the Jayhawks to survive the Adebayo effect — the UK big man has made 21 of 25 shots in his last five games and also leads the Wildcats with 62 dunks, just 30 shy of Anthony Davis’ UK record — they’ll have to get contributions from all

over the floor. The Kansas guards will have to pressure the perimeter to make entry passes more difficult. KU’s defensive rotation, which has been a weak spot thus far, will have to be on point. And the Jayhawks will have to do whatever possible to make Adebayo uncomfortable and keep him out of the paint.

The one Kansas player best equipped to neutralize Adebayo is senior forward Landen Lucas, who said Thursday that he spent the past couple of

games battling a cold but added that he was looking forward to Saturday’s clash with Adebayo.

“I enjoy those challenges,” Lucas admitted.

“I’ve always seemed to play better and be more focused and enjoy playing against guys who are the same size and bigger and better, good talent.”

Lucas, four years Adebayo’s senior, carries nearly identical measurements on paper — 6-10, 250 pounds — but looks quite a bit different up close and personal.

“He’s a great player,” Lucas reiterated. “Physically, people compare him to (NBA star) Dwight Howard, so clearly he looks the part and he’s been playing well ...

They’re on TV a lot, so whenever you turn on ESPN and stuff you get a chance to see them. It’s fun. I mean, it’s Kentucky.

It’s a big-name school. It’s a big matchup.”

How big? Lucas thinks Saturday’s battle might be more worthy of hype than last season’s KUUK showdown at Allen

Fieldhouse that featured No. 4 Kansas knocking off No. 20 Kentucky, 90-84 in overtime.

“I think it might even be bigger this year just because of the records and rankings of the two teams and we’re both in the same situation as far as coming off of a loss and wanting to rebound,” Lucas said. “So I’m looking forward to it. I think it’ll be a big game and definitely something that’ll be fun for everybody to compete in.”

Woods snap-hooked his tee shot over the crowd and into a deep ravine, letting the driver fall from his hands in disgust. He couldn’t immediately find his ball amid sand dunes and ice plants, instead finding a spot to take his penalty drop. He hooked a long iron through eucalyptus trees into more rough and couldn’t get it closer than 20 feet.

At least he ended with a birdie and a smile, which looked to be more of a relief — not only for Woods, but for Jason Day and Dustin Johnson.

The star group sure didn’t play like one, with

all three players frustrated at times by the bumpy poa annua greens in the afternoon. Day, the No. 1 player in the world, missed five putts from the 4-foot range. He opened with a 73. Johnson made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 72.

None of them ever were better than 1 under at any point in the round.

“I was fighting out there all day,” Woods said. “Didn’t really hit it that good. Greens were a little tough out there with some of the putts. I had a round which I let get away in the middle part of the back nine, and unfortunately, did hit very

good shots.”

Even so, the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open hasn’t had this much energy since Woods won the tournament in 2013 for the eighth time at Torrey Pines. The gallery covered every inch of space behind the ropes from tee-to-green on the first hole, standing six-deep around the green.

“You’re concentrating extra hard out there because obviously this is a tough golf course, but you want to make sure that you’re playing well,” Day said. “Tiger’s back, the cameras are on you, so ... I’m trying to do my

best. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the way that everyone wanted to start, but I gave it 100 percent.”

When the group left the fifth green and walked up the hill to the sixth tee, only a half-dozen people remained behind.

Rose had a quiet time over on the North Course, which was renovated by Tom Weiskopf and has new and smooth greens.

He had two eagles over his last five holes to take the lead by one shot over Adam Hadwin of Canada, who shot 59 last week in the California desert.

Hadwin has the best score on the South Course, which hosted the

2008 U.S. Open.

“I don’t want to say it was as good as a 59, but it was pretty darn good,” Hadwin said.

Woodland tees off No. 1 at 12:10 p.m. CST in today’s second round and will play with Roberto Castro and Byeong Hun An.

We had a couple bowlers step up and take a leadership role. With the teams that were here, we looked like we could match up really well now that the girls are in routine and used to the lanes.”

two at Royal Crest Lanes.

Wednesday marked the third time this year Free State took to the very lanes the players also practice at.

“There is a home advantage definitely,” Gepford said. “This is where we practice and we are used to the lanes. Each place you go, you have to play the lanes a little different.”

On the boys’ side, Free State came in second at 2390, finishing shy of Olathe Northwest (2580).

It marked the the third time in five meets that the Firebirds came away with a second-place finish, winning the other two.

No player posted a top-five score, as Alex

Craig boasted the best mark (586), which was enough to notch seventh.

The team’s most consistent bowler, senior Alex Jimenez, rolled a 569 to come in 12th. Meanwhile, Zach Lockwood (576) and Cameron Edens (572), placed 10th and 11th, respectively.

“Overall, the boys did pretty well,” Gepford said. “Most of them were making their spares, we just had a hard time connecting on strikes, which gives you the big score.

They shot a 2390, which is our second-highest series on the year.”

Free State will return to Royal Crest Lanes for the Lawrence High triangular at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
