SUPERINTENDENT KYLE HAYDEN SPEAKS with community members at the district’s Community Conversation on Monday.

Topeka — Members of the Kansas congressional delegation responded over the weekend with only mild criticism of President Donald Trump’s executive order halting immigration from several Middle Eastern nations and suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions program, while Republican Gov. Sam Brownback praised the action.

All three sitting members of the U.S. House from Kansas and both U.S. senators, all of whom are Republicans, said they generally agree with Trump’s stated goal of preventing terrorists from entering the country but that they think he should work with Congress on broad immigration policy.

“There is no question that we need to strengthen our borders to ensure the safety of every American,” said 2nd District Rep. Lynn Jenkins, who

KU students advised to avoid leaving country

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

The University of Kansas is advising students and employees from the seven countries affected

by President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration to avoid international travel, for now.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, in a message to campus on Sunday, said she was “deeply concerned” about the well-being of KU community members potentially affected by the order denying entry for 90 days to any citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

“Based on what we know today, we advise all nationals from the affected countries to avoid international travel until there is some clarification of the situation,” Gray-Little wrote. “This includes passport holders, citizens, nationals, and dual nationals from the impacted countries.”

help her or the larger equity issues at play.

Her story and others like it have been at the forefront of discussions at school board meetings since October, when the district announced its investigation into allegations that a South Middle School teacher had made racist comments during class earlier that fall.

The controversial investigation, the findings of which have never been revealed by the district, continued to draw criticism from parents and community members in the weeks that followed, with many calling for greater transparency in the case.

Tensions finally boiled over at the school board’s Dec. 12 meeting, which was abruptly adjourned after outbursts from protesters made it difficult for business to continue as usual.

That incident occurred just days after the disclosure of a settlement agreement between the district and the accused teacher in which district officials agreed to withhold information from the investigation in

.

exchange for the promise that Lawrence Public Schools would not be sued over the matter.

Part of the school board’s efforts to put the controversy behind them, Marcel Harmon told the Journal-World last month, was a calling for a Community Conversation on racial equity. Roberson, of Kansas City’s DESTINY! Bible Fellowship Community Church and the Wichita-based Kansas Leadership Center, was brought aboard to facilitate that talk, and began Monday’s meeting by encouraging attendees to work toward progress, not a “fix.”

Racism, and the way it manifests itself in schools, is an “issue so huge, you may not live to see any fruit from it,” Roberson said. “But you’ll be a seed planter.”

In that spirit, he assigned each table in the cafeteria a set of five questions: Why are you here? What is the Lawrence school system doing to help students of color achieve their full potential, and how have those experiences (from a parent’s perspective, or a student’s) been impacted by race? How can those

LAWRENCE • STATE experiences be improved?

And finally, do you have any suggestions that might better involve parents and community members in the district’s planning and advisory processes?

After around 30 minutes of discussion, each table was supposed to reach a consensus to share with the larger group. But that’s not how University of Kansas professor Jennifer Hamer approached her comments during that evening’s “community voices” segment. She’d visited a lot of tables throughout the talks, she said, and encountered a lot of folks who had envisioned a discussion “between the school board and the community and the school district,” as opposed to discussions at individual tables, which she deemed a “lost opportunity.”

“I think if the school district and the school board and the superintendent are going to say they’re going to hold themselves accountable, they really need to do that. But you can’t do that until you’ve really acknowledged the problem,” said Hamer, also the associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion at KU’s College of

Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“I think that we’re grownup enough, even the kids in the room, to hear and see what the problem is. If we’re not willing to hear and see what the problem is in the real numbers and in the real feelings of our kids, then we’re not really ready to address it.”

At the heart of this, she added, are students.

Hamer’s daughter attends a Lawrence public school, as do several of her friends’ children.

“This is not about progress,” she said. “This is about a fix,” and as parents and community members, “we better know how to fix it.”

One group that evening, the Intertribal Club of LHS, did offer a few potential fixes in a list of demands.

Among them were the requests that all teachers partake in the district’s mandatory equity training, that all teachers follow the club’s list of acceptable terminology for Native Americans, which they will soon be emailing to school staffers, and that all resources — including existing school psychologists — be made “as apparent and available as possible” to students.

The demands also included reminders to

L awrence J ournal -W orld teachers that their words and actions “influence students greatly,” LHS junior Shayla Chickaway told the crowd, and that students must learn to respect their peers of all backgrounds and ethnicities — both in the classroom and out.

Last fall, in the wake of the South Middle School incident, LHS sophomore and former South student Inez Robinson spoke up about her experiences with internal racism in Lawrence Public Schools — first at an emotional school board meeting and then in an interview with the Lawrence JournalWorld.

Monday, she spoke up again. She encouraged the crowd to keep the conversation going — with whatever it takes, and with whoever is willing to listen. Equity, she explained, isn’t just black and white, either. It’s intersectional.

Monday’s Community Conversation, district leaders say, will be compiled into a summary that could be used for future discussions on equity.

represents Lawrence and most of eastern Kansas.

“While I understand President Trump’s intentions, this Executive Order was painted too broadly. I encourage President Trump to work with Congress to strengthen our borders and vetting process.”

Trump’s executive order, which was signed Friday, imposed an immediate 90-day ban on entry into the United States by citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

It also suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days and imposes an indefinite suspension on admission of Syrian refugees.

The order caused widespread disruptions at international airports in the U.S. and around the world as travelers were blocked from entering the U.S. or boarding planes bound for here.

But a federal judge on Saturday issued a stay, blocking the administration from removing people who had arrived at U.S. airports with valid visas or

The police report in the rape case indicated four crimes had occurred at McCarthy Hall between 10 p.m. Dec. 17 and 5 a.m.

Dec. 18: a rape of a 16-yearold girl, contributing to a child’s misconduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor and possession of drug paraphernalia. The rape was reported Dec. 18.

Keary said the drug offense in that report was removed and made into its own report, the one that led to the charge

previously approved refugee applications.

In November 2015, Brownback issued an executive order blocking the use of state resources to help settle Syrian refugees, citing the same concerns Trump expressed about the threat of allowing potential terrorists into the country.

“Now, President Trump is taking action to ensure the integrity of the refugee program, calling for the implementation of thorough and comprehensive vetting, seeking to ensure true refugees are coming to America, while blocking those intent on doing us harm,” Brownback said in a statement. “Unlike the previous administration, President Trump is inviting state and local governments to play a broader role in the refugee resettlement process.

This step, along with his prioritization of persecuted religions, indicates his commitment to helping those in need, while keeping America safe.”

Still, Trump’s order sparked protests and demonstrations at many airports, including Kansas City International, as well as condemnation from congressional Democrats.

But from the Kansas congressional delegation, the criticism was mainly muted.

Following are the official statements from each U.S. senator and representative from Kansas: Sen. Pat Roberts: “I agree with President Trump that we need a major overhaul of our immigration system and a better vetting process for those entering our nation. One attack on our shores like those in Paris and Brussels is one too many. We have also seen too many crimes committed by illegal immigrants that should never have been in our country in the first place. However, we need to strike a balance that protects the rights of Americans and those permitted to enter the country legally. The president needs to work with Congress to ensure every aspect of a major policy change such as this is taken into consideration.”

Sen. Jerry Moran: “Keeping Americans safe should be our federal government’s top priority.

Strengthening our immigration system is critical to that end, and it’s common sense to have appropriate vetting procedures in

place for individuals wishing to travel to our country.

While I support thorough vetting, I do not support restricting the rights of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Furthermore, far-reaching national security policy should always be devised in consultation with Congress and relevant government agencies.”

Rep. Roger Marshall, 1st District: “President Trump is ensuring that he is doing all he can to protect us from radical Islamic terror, and to secure channels of migration in the future. Though we would like to see a more specific definition worked through Congress, we understand the need for quick action, and we stand by him in this effort.”

Rep. Kevin Yoder, 3rd District: “We must be both a compassionate nation and a nation that keeps its citizens safe and we must find common ground to achieve both missions. Reforming and strengthening our vetting system is a necessary and important step to continuing the long legacy of refugees coming to America. The Obama Administration rightly did this in 2011

when it paused refugee resettlement from Iraq for six months to prevent terrorist infiltration and again last year when it worked with Congress to sign our bill into law reforming the visa waiver program, which laid the groundwork for this executive order. Likewise, President Trump should have our nation’s support to carry out his mission to protect our nation’s borders, but he must do so without unnecessarily burdening lawful entrants into the United States or discriminating against specific religions.

“It’s clear right now the order is being interpreted too broadly to block valid visas and green card holders. While a temporary pause in new admissions is appropriate — the President should work with Congress to come up with clear procedures to ensure that our refugee program can continue in the safest manner possible.”

The 4th District seat is currently vacant due to the resignation of former Rep. Mike Pompeo, who is now CIA director.

international programs staff, immigration experts and peer universities are coordinating to fully understand the implications of the new federal policies.

She said KU also has directly contacted its international students to offer them guidance and resources.

“This is a fluid situation, and we expect new developments over the coming days,” Gray-Little said. “We will keep you updated as we learn more, with a particular focus on our international scholars and their families who are most directly impacted by these new

federal policies.”

KU’s Student Senate executive staff called Trump’s executive order a threat to the livelihood and educational experiences of international and undocumented students.

“We encourage the university community to avoid the dismissal of this inhumane act as business or politics as usual,” according to a statement released by Student Senate on Sunday. “... it is the responsibility of our entire university to view those affected by recent federal policy as valid members of the university

community regardless of their citizenship status.”

Gray-Little’s message also affirmed KU’s commitment to the “exchange of ideas” from around the world.

“This state and nation were settled by immigrants, and immigrants continue to make immeasurable contributions to our society,” she said.

“Moreover, I want to reiterate that accessibility, diversity of thought, and the free and open exchange of ideas remain core values of the University of Kansas. That will never change, and we

will continue our work to advance these values.”

Leaders of other state universities shared similar sentiments and recommendations.

Wichita State University has 41 students from the named countries, mostly BIRTHS Iran, according to a report Lawrence Memorial from the Wichita Eagle. Hospital reported no births The Eagle reported that an Monday. initial count showed Kansas State University has 63 students from the seven countries and that Pittsburg State University has one.

against Bragg.

The rape investigation remains open, and police have released no information about a possible suspect, including whether the multiple alleged crimes are linked to a single offender, Keary said. Police have said the victim, who was not a KU student and not from this area, was visiting residents in the building.

A runaway juvenile also was reported at McCarthy Hall the morning of Dec. 18, but police would 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 single witness named in the runaway report is Bragg.

Police have not shared why those individuals were interviewed, but have said being a witness in an investigation does not necessarily mean an eyewitness to a crime, but rather someone who may have been in the area or who may have other pertinent information to the investigation.

Bragg, 21, is a sophomore from Cleveland.

KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self suspended Bragg from the team indefinitely Thursday

night, citing a violation of team rules. Self emphasized at the time that the suspension was not connected to the McCarthy Hall rape investigation.

Speaking at the team’s regular weekly news conference on Monday, Self did not directly confirm that the team rules violation was Bragg’s possession of drug paraphernalia charge. However, he said the suspension occurred last week when he was made aware that there was a violation.

“You guys can add two and two,” Self said. “He’s been suspended for violation of team rules, and when we found out about

No indication police sought independent investigation of officer

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

There is no indication the Lawrence Police Department sought an independent investigation when one of its officers, William Burke, was accused of beating, choking and locking another officer naked inside a dog kennel.

This is in contrast with the department’s approach last year when a different officer was accused of breaking the law. It also is in contrast to how a growing number of law enforcement agencies are handling investigations of their own officers.

Gary Steed, executive director of KS-CPOST, said it is becoming increasingly common for law enforcement agencies in Kansas to seek out independent investigations for reports of officer misconduct.

“It is generally good practice to have someone independently investigate,” he said.

“I’ve seen quite a few agencies make informal or formal agreements with other agencies to do an investigation when their own people might be involved.”

Steed said he couldn’t speak specifically about Burke’s case; however, he

Westar, Great Plains move to save $12.2B deal amid criticism

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — A Missouribased utility sought Monday to rescue its proposal to buy Kansas’ largest electric company amid strong criticism that their $12.2 billion deal is too rich and would create a larger but financially weakened firm with consumers on the hook for its problems.

An attorney representing both Great Plains Energy Inc., based in Kansas City, Mo., and Westar Energy Inc., headquartered in Topeka, told the Kansas Corporation Commission that Great Plains’ proposed acquisition of Westar would create nearly $2 billion in efficiencies over the next decade to keep consumers’ rates in check.

Attorney Rob Hack said the deal provides significant long-term benefits.

The three-member commission regulates utilities in Kansas and must approve the deal. Its own staff, consumer advocates and other parties strongly oppose the acquisition, which would create a single utility straddling both sides of the Kansas City metropolitan area, with 1.5 million customers from central Kansas to central Missouri. Great Plains is the parent company of Kansas City Power & Light Co. “We hope the commission sees that saying no means Westar and KCP&L rates will rise more quickly and higher than with the transaction,” Hack said in an opening statement as the commission started two weeks of hearings on the deal. “We feel more passionately today about our future as one company than we did the day we announced.”

The companies announced Great Plains’ proposed purchase of Westar in May 2016, and the two companies’ stockholders overwhelmingly approved the deal in September. But

did say that independent investigations benefit all involved.

“It benefits the officers that are being investigated (and) I think it benefits the department,” he said. “Obviously, it benefits the public in that they would have confidence that the investigation was conducted in a professional and unbiased way.”

Both City Manager Tom Markus and City Attorney Toni Wheeler declined to comment on the Lawrence case, citing an ongoing civil lawsuit, which the officer in question, Burke, filed in federal court last September.

Burke’s lawsuit is seeking $525,000 in damages

from the city, claiming he was illegally searched, arrested and defamed.

On Jan. 17, the City of Lawrence filed an answer to Burke’s lawsuit arguing officers had probable cause to arrest Burke. The filing includes a summary of a February 2015 interview between Lawrence police investigators and Burke’s alleged victim.

However, the court documents do not indicate LPD contacted any external agency to investigate the allegations. Instead, it appears as though the reported crimes were only investigated internally.

No criminal charges

Proposed law seeks to close off information on officers

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

State lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it more difficult for the public to check the credentials and work history of police officers.

The leader of the state’s largest media association said the law would make it more difficult for the public to know when a police

officer has left a job because of misconduct.

“What you are doing is allowing potential law enforcement misconduct to be covered up,” said Doug Anstaett, executive director of the Kansas Press Association, which has testified against HB 2070 that was introduced in mid-January.

Wichita area still has not rebounded to its pre-recession levels.

Over the next two weeks, the House and Senate hope to pass a rescission bill to balance the current fiscal year’s budget.

Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed several measures that many lawmakers have said they find distasteful, but which they may have to accept, such as borrowing $317 million from state idle funds and repaying it over the next seven years.

Their next task will be to tackle budgets for each of the next two fiscal years. For that, Brownback has proposed items that many lawmakers find even more distasteful, such as sweeping hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state highway fund, freezing payments into the state pension system at 2016 levels, selling off the state’s interest in future tobacco payments and imposing big hikes in cigarette and alcohol taxes.

House Taxation Committee chairman Rep. Steve Johnson, R-Assaria, said no specific bill is being considered to repeal any of the exemptions. He said the purpose of Monday’s briefing was just to get more information about the exemptions, and that they may be considered further as the panel puts together a larger tax package later in the session.

EDITORIALS

Keep it open An attempt to close access to the state’s registry of licensed police officers should be strongly opposed.

A

bill filed this session in the Kansas Legislature would close public access to the state’s registry of licensed law enforcement officers.

The bill is unnecessary. There simply is no justifiable reason to keep the names and basic employment histories of the state’s law enforcement officers shrouded in mystery.

State law requires the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training to maintain a “central registry of all Kansas police officers or law enforcement officers.” The law requires agencies to submit the name of any person elected or appointed to a law enforcement position within 30 days of the appointment. Similarly, state agencies are required to submit notice to CPOST anytime a law enforcement officer leaves a position, whether the officer left voluntarily or was terminated.

Agencies are required to submit reports explaining the circumstances under which an officer left the job.

At present, names on the registry and CPOST termination records are subject to the Kansas Open Records Act. But House Bill 2070, which has been filed with the House Judiciary Committee, would exempt the registry information from KORA requirements, including the names on the central registry of law enforcement officers.

Advocates of the bill say closing the records is needed to protect officers. But in the rare instances when officers overstep their bounds, someone has to ensure the interests of the public also are being protected. Subjecting records to public scrutiny is the best way to do that.

To understand the problem with HB 2070, look no further than the case of former Lawrence Police Officer William Burke, who resigned his position in 2015 after a disturbing incident in which he allegedly beat and locked in a dog cage a fellow female officer with whom he was having a relationship. An investigation into the incident shows Burke essentially admitted to the allegations in text messages to the female officer.

In September, Burke filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming he was illegally searched, arrested and defamed. The city’s response to Burke’s lawsuit lays out the details surrounding his departure.

The Journal-World was able to confirm through CPOST that Burke is still registered as a law enforcement officer. The newspaper also was able to get a copy of Burke’s termination/status change notice, though it was heavily redacted.

Serious questions linger about why Burke was allowed to resign instead of being terminated, why he remains a registered law enforcement officer and why Burke’s arrest was expunged.

In Burke’s case, the lawsuit triggered the Journal-World’s investigation into the incident. That investigation was enhanced by the ability to access information from CPOST. House Bill 2070 would make it considerably more difficult to shed light on incidents like the one involving Burke and thus much easier for officers who run into problems in one community to get law enforcement work in another community without questions being raised. That doesn’t serve the best interests of anyone — the officers involved, the agencies they work for or the public they serve.

It’s called lying, Mr. President Her name was Miss Nelson.

I don’t recall her first name. She didn’t seem to need one.

She taught fifth grade at West Elementary School in Ashtabula, Ohio. In the fall of 1967, my mother dropped me off in her classroom like a failed adoption. My mother would deny that characterization, but we all knew that Miss Nelson had a reputation. She was tall and wide with a voice that carried and a mind inclined to use it. I’d never seen anybody like her.

You know how this story goes. She also had a heart bigger than a Dodge wagon.

She hid it well in the first few weeks, but soon enough she was holding after-class sewing sessions for all of us girls. She claimed to be teaching us how to make clothes for our Barbie dolls, but it was just an excuse to gather us round and talk to us about how to be citizens of the world.

She believed diagramming sentences builds character and profanity is the sign of a diminished mind.

She hated the word “liar,” declaring it the worst thing you could ever say about a person. If he was a liar, there was no hope for him.

All these years later, I’m still so reluctant to use the word. Some people you never stop wanting to avoid disappointing.

I’ve been thinking of Miss Nelson a lot during the past few days — since Inaugura-

“

He lies, but he may not mean it? That’s like someone hitting me in the head with a baseball bat and then assuring me on the ambulance ride that he didn’t mean to make me bleed.” tion Day, to be precise. It hurts to the marrow of my bones to say this, but there’s no use in pretending that we don’t have a chronic liar in the White House.

Last week, I made a list of newspaper headlines on Donald Trump’s continued lie about nonexistent voter fraud.

The New York Times: “Trump Won’t Back Down From His Voting Fraud Lie. Here Are the Facts.”

The Washington Post: “Citing no new evidence, Trump continues to say there were millions of illegal votes.”

The Boston Globe: “White House defends illegal voting claim, without evidence.”

Los Angeles Times: “Trump’s unproven claims of widespread voter fraud trip up White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.”

Chicago Tribune: “White House doubles down on Trump’s claim that millions voted illegally, but provides no evidence.”

The Wall Street Journal: “Trump’s Claim of Massive Illegal Voting Gets Little Support From GOP Lawmakers.”

This is our new reality.

We still have our holdouts. NPR listeners wanted to know why Mary Louise Kelly reported on Trump’s many lies but wouldn’t call them what they are: lies. On “Morning Edition,” Kelly explained that she relies on The Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of “lie.”

“A false statement made with intent to deceive,” Kelly said, “’intent’ being the key word there. Without the ability to peer into Donald Trump’s head, I can’t tell you what his intent was. I can tell you what he said and how that squares — or doesn’t — with facts.”

At what age is adulthood assumed and a person held accountable for his words?

Unless he admits he lied, we’re supposed to think he’s just flirting?

True, I can’t peer into the dark recesses of Trump’s head — thank you, Jesus — but that doesn’t mean I can’t discern his intentions by the content of his words.

He lies, but he may not

mean it? That’s like someone hitting me in the head with a baseball bat and then assuring me on the ambulance ride that he didn’t mean to make me bleed. At some point, one of us has to state the obvious because the medical staff and the police are definitely going to have their assumptions.

Every time I hear another lie come out of Trump’s mouth — about his inauguration crowd (smaller than Barack Obama’s and the Women’s March), voter fraud (it didn’t exist), the media’s accusing him of attacking the intelligence community (he compared them to the Nazis) — I feel as if I’m back in junior high school trying to break up with the boy my mother warned me wasn’t stable.

“You told me you love me.”

“I never said that.”

“You did. I heard you. Everybody knows it.

“I’m sorry. I never said that.”

“We should drink each other’s blood.”

“I’m going to call Dad now.”

Enough of this cat dance around what most of America already knows.

With apologies to Miss Nelson, we in the media must call this what it is: Our president is a chronic and unapologetic liar.

And this is not normal.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World years for Jan. 31, 1917: ago l “One girl of IN 1917 the Lawrence high school wants to be a telegrapher. Her application is among those of the nine high school pupils who wish to take up the course to be offered by Manager Fox of the Western Union.” l “Police officers, in answer to a telephone call from New Hampshire street yesterday, went out and picked up a human arm on the street. The arm appeared to have been partly dissected.”

Hello, it’s the White House calling In this era of tweets and texts, the White House of President Donald Trump, ever respectful of tradition, is bringing back the personal phone call. For example, Steve Bannon, the president’s chief strategist, by telephone told The New York Times’ Michael Grynbaum that his paper and “the elite media got (the 2016 presidential election) dead wrong, 100 percent dead wrong.” After a fullthroated condemnation of the “mainstream media,” Bannon, designating Grynbaum as the representative of his profession, added: “You’re the opposition party. Not the Democratic Party. You’re the opposition party. The media’s the opposition party.”

Because it is journalism’s responsibility to dare to speak truth to power and to correct the record when the powerful are wrong, let us also admit when the powerful — Bannon, in this case — are right. The Democrats took a collective shellacking during the eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency. There are today, compared with January 2009, 63 fewer Democrats in the U.S.

Mark Shields

“

Democrats on Capitol Hill are so weakened that the only thing they could possibly pass is the salt. Every one of the 214 House and Senate committees and subcommittees is chaired by a Republican. No Democrat wields a gavel.”

House, nine fewer Democrats in the U.S. Senate, 12 fewer Democratic governors and 958 fewer Democrats holding state legislative seats. Before Election Day, Democrats controlled the governor’s office and both chambers of the state legislature in just seven

states, which was the lowest number since the Civil War. After Nov. 8, in only five states — California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Oregon and Rhode Island (no state in the 2,554 miles between Hartford and Sacramento) — were voters willing to give Democrats complete control. By contrast, 25 states — including the battleground states of Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin and Ohio — have a GOP governor and a legislature controlled by the GOP. Democrats on Capitol Hill are so weakened that the only thing they could possibly pass is the salt.

Every one of the 214 House and Senate committees and subcommittees is chaired by a Republican. No Democrat wields a gavel. As of today, Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron, who led The Boston Globe’s courageous and significant investigation of the official cover-up of serial sexual abuse of children by priests in the Archdiocese of Boston, is, as the Post’s unflagging investigation has shown, a far more formidable adversary of the Trump White House than any elected Democrat.

Toss in the leadership of The New York Times and fearless journalists everywhere and you have, sadly, the real “opposition.”

It was Baron — a private man who was portrayed by Liev Schreiber in the Oscar-winning movie “Spotlight,” the story of the shoe-leather reporting that broke the clerical abuse scandal in Boston — who made a rare public statement of his paper’s mission, quoting its owner, Jeff Bezos: “We want a society where any of us — any individual in this country, any institution in this country — if they choose to, can scrutinize, examine and criticize an elected official, especially a candidate for the highest office in the most powerful country on earth.”

Until Democrats, in or outside Washington, are capable of coming up with a better idea or more relevant message than “Make America Sick Again” (their mantra in support of the Affordable Care Act), Bannon is right: Any opposition is we the media.

would prohibit the public from having access to the central repository maintained by the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training. That organization is the one that determines whether individuals hold the proper licenses to serve as law enforcement professionals in the state.

Currently, the public has some access to those files, but the law that is being heard by the House Judiciary Committee would make KS-CPOST’s central registry “available only to those agencies who appoint or elect police or law enforcement officers.”

The proposed law comes up at the same time that Lawrence is learning more about a 2015 case where the Lawrence Police Department arrested one of its own officers after receiving evidence that he beat a fellow female officer, strangled her to the point of unconsciousness and locked her in a dog kennel as part of a sexual encounter.

As the Journal-World reported on Sunday, although the Lawrence Police Department believed it had enough evidence to arrest Officer William Burke, it ultimately did not fire Burke, but rather let him resign. The Douglas County District Attorney also did not charge Burke, despite the police department claiming to have text messages where Burke allegedly admitted to beating the female

were filed against Burke, and he is still licensed to work as a police officer in Kansas.

In 2015, the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office said there was insufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Burke. However, because the arrest affidavit in Burke’s case has not been made available to the Journal-World, it is unclear what information LPD submitted to the DA’s office.

An arrest affidavit is a document written by police to support an arrest. After an arrest, the documents are submitted to the DA’s office, which then decides whether to file criminal charges.

Burke was arrested in February 2015 on suspicion of a number of felony charges, including kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.

While the felonies Burke reportedly committed were apparently investigated only by LPD, the department handled reports

officer. Burke, who is suing the city for defamation, wrongful search and other allegations, remains licensed to work as a law enforcement officer in the state.

KS-CPOST is the agency that determines whether Burke keeps his license to practice as a law enforcement officer in Kansas.

Current law already allows KS-CPOST to redact certain personnel information about an officer before releasing documents to the public. The proposed law, though, would restrict release even further.

“They’ve got the lid on it pretty much already, but now they’re trying to weld the lid down onto the can so nobody can get to it,” Anstaett said.

Among the changes, the bill would seal off reports written by department heads when law enforcement officers are fired.

Restricting the public’s access to this information would make it impossible for the public to check an officer’s background, Anstaett said.

“Our concern is simply about the checks and balances that the public has to have on all government employees. And law enforcement shouldn’t be exempt from that,” he said. “They should be scrutinized just as closely as anybody else because of the huge power that they have.”

Essentially, if the reason why a police officer lost his or her job remains obscured, any potential issues with that officer might be passed on to the next community that hires them, Anstaett said.

“You just sent the

problem down the road,” he said.

In written testimony to the Legislature, Anstaett said though registry information would ideally be shared with communities seeking to hire officers, “we are often amazed by how little of this information is sought, or shared, between elected officials who make these important decisions.”

Kirk Thompson, director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, wrote testimony to the House committee in support of the bill, stating the legislation is not “intended to broadly exempt these records from disclosure,” but rather to direct information requests back to the “agency of record” instead of KS-CPOST. In Burke’s case, this would mean that anyone seeking more information would have to make a request to the City of Lawrence rather than to KS-CPOST. The problem there, Anstaett said, is that agencies of record, like the Lawrence Police Department, may decline those types of information requests because they are not required to release personnel information.

With the proposed exemption to KS-CPOST and the existing personnel record exemption in the local agencies, information about current and former law enforcement officers would be closed off so “nobody could ever get it,” Anstaett said.

of a different officer’s misconduct differently.

Last August, then-Lawrence police officer Frank McClelland reportedly swept the legs out from an uncooperative man and punched him in the face multiple times.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said in a news conference the next month that LPD launched its own, internal investigation through the Office of Professional Accountability. At the same time, however, he contacted Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern to conduct an independent investigation.

After investigating the reported crime, the sheriff’s office submitted a report to the DA’s office and a misdemeanor battery charge was filed against McClelland.

McClelland has since pleaded not guilty to the charge and is set to face a criminal trial in March.

LPD’s OPA also found misconduct, Khatib said.

Unlike McClelland’s case, there is no indication LPD reached out to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office seeking an independent investigation regarding Burke’s reported crimes.

When asked if the

sheriff’s office investigated Burke, Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said only “this is a case that belongs to the Lawrence Police Department and we are not going to comment on it.”

And because city officials declined to comment on the case, it is unclear if LPD reached out to any other law enforcement agency to conduct an investigation independent from its own. However, court filings from both Burke and the city do not indicate any additional investigations were conducted.

Neither Burke nor McClelland was fired from their positions. Instead, they were allowed to resign.

Though they contend officers had probable cause to arrest Burke, city officials have not explained why Burke was allowed to resign.

Currently, Burke’s license to work as a police officer is “in good standing,” according to the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, which is the organization responsible for the licenses.

Actions are coming fast and furious — sometimes even outpacing themselves

TRUMP’S 10 FIRST DAYS In his first 10-and-a-half days in office, President Trump has signed more executive actions than any president in modern history, just edging out President Obama.

Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

President Trump has begun his presidency with an unprecedented blizzard of executive action, signing more presidential directives than any president NEWS in modern history.

ANALYSIS As a candidate, Trump criticized President Obama’s “illegal and overreaching executive orders.” Now, he’s using those same orders in ways previous presidents have not.

He has used them to order the approval of permits to specific private companies (the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines).

He has not only reinstated Reagan-era policies but expanded them — as with the ban on federal funding to global health groups that promote abortion. On Monday, he tightened the White House’s grip on the regulatory process, insisting that agencies stick to a quota of regulations approved by the president as part of the annual budgeting process.

And he has even created a new form of executive order called a National Security Presidential Memorandum and used it to give orders to the Pentagon and give his political strategist a seat at the WASHINGTON

Trump DEFINITIONS Proclamation The first and most basic form of presidential action. It can be ceremonial (as with Trump’s declaration of National School Choice Week) — or substantive (Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation).

Executive Order The most scrutinized form of presidential directive, numbered and published in the Federal Register. They often organize the federal government or set government-wide policy.

Presidential Memorandum An increasingly popular form of presidential action, sometimes called an “executive order by another name.” They tend to be regulatory, or direct a cabinet secretary to take a specific action.

National Security Directives Every president calls these something different; Trump’s are National Security Presidential Memoranda. Courts have called these “the functional equivalent to an executive order” in the realm of national security. They’re often classified, but the first three of Trump’s are public.

SOURCE The White House, Federal Register, American Presidency Project, Federation of American Scientists, and Kenneth Lowande of the Washington University in St. Louis.

The people who elected Donald Trump president say the furor over his executive order on immigration is nothing compared to the one he’d cause if he did nothing to crack down on travel into the country from nations linked with terrorism.

“This is exactly what he promised during the campaign,” said A.D. Amar, a college professor who immigrated to the U.S. decades ago from India. “If he did not do this, I and many other of his supporters would have been disappointed.”

That, in the Trump camp, is putting it mildly.

If Trump backed down, “I would be furious,’’ said Barbara Cope, a retired hospital employee who lives in Elmwood Park, N.J. “I’d say, ‘This is what you ran on!

You lied like all the other politicians!’ ” Both are members of Trump Nation, an array of Trump voters in all 50 states who’ve spoken periodically with the USA TODAY Network about their hopes and expectations of the new president. Although much analysis of Trump’s order has focused on how his election victory empowers him to make such changes, it’s also true that if he does not make them, there will be a political price.

Trump’s order prohibits entry by all refugees for four months and by Syrian refugees indefinitely, and it calls for “extreme vetting” in the future. It also bars any visitors for three months from seven nations deemed to be sources of terrorism, all of which have Muslim-majority populations. Other nations with Muslim majorities whose citizens have committed terrorist attacks, such as Saudi Arabia, were not covered by the order.

At least part of the backlash against Trump’s order focused on the haste in which it was issued; the confusion it created, especially at airports; and the impression it gave of America turning its back on the world.

How little has changed: Our earliest ancestor had a big mouth New species pushes our origins as far back as 450 million years ago Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

The earliest known human ancestor was a microscopic sea creature — and it had one huge mouth.

The freaky-looking thing lived about 450 million years ago and

now takes the prize as humanity’s earliest ancestor, according to a study released Monday.

Scientists believe the creature was a common ancestor of many species and the earliest step yet found on the evolutionary path that eventually led to humans hundreds of millions of years later.

It has been named “Saccorhytus” after the sacklike features created by its elliptical body and gigantic mouth. The species is new to science and was identified from micro-fossils found in China.

It is thought to be the most primitive example of a “deuterostome” — a broad biological category that includes several subgroups, including all vertebrates.

“We think that as an early deuterostome this may represent the primitive beginnings of a very diverse range of species, including ourselves,” study co-author Simon Conway Morris of St John’s College at the University of Cambridge said in a statement.

“To the naked eye, the fossils we studied look like tiny black grains, but under the microscope

ARTIST’S RECONSTRUCTION BY JIAN HAN, NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY, CHINA

Saccorhytus probably was small enough to live between grains of sand on the seabed, but its yapper was hard to miss.

the level of detail is jaw-dropping,” Morris said. The actual creature was probably no more than 1 millimeter in size.

The animal probably lived between grains of sand on the seabed. Its features were wellpreserved in the fossil record — and intriguingly, the researchers found that the evidence suggests the creature may have both eaten and excreted through its mouth.

The study, which was led by Jian Han of Northwest University in China, appeared in the peerreviewed British journal Nature.

Quebec mosque shooter is arraigned Trudeau assails anti-Muslim terrorist attack Adam Kovac

Special for USA TODAY QUEBEC CITY A man known to express anti-immigrant and antiMuslim sentiments on social media was arraigned Monday in the deaths of six people and wounding of 17 others at a Quebec City mosque — a rare mass shooting in Canada and the country’s first lethal attack on a mosque.

Quebec City police identified the suspect as Alexandre Bissonnette, 27. He faces six charges of first-degree murder and five charges of attempted murder with a restricted firearm, according to Quebec City Court documents.

A second man who had been held in custody was described as a witness and released Monday.

Five of those injured at the mosque were in critical condition and 12 others suffered minor injuries from Sunday’s attack during evening prayers, according to the University of Quebec Hospital Center.

Police offered no motive for the shootings, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it an act of terror.

“We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a center of worship and refuge,” Trudeau said in a statement. “It is heartwrenching to see such senseless violence. Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear.”

The assault occurred amid a global uproar this weekend over President Trump’s temporary

ALICE CHICHE, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

People place flowers at a makeshift memorial near the Islamic Cultural Center in Quebec City on Monday. A gunman stormed into a Quebec mosque during Sunday evening prayers. ban on admitting into the United States refugees and immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims noted an increase in hate crimes, with at least a dozen mosques vandalized last year across the country. However, no incidents of anti-Muslim killings had occurred until now.

It was the first mass shooting in the country since January 2016, when a 17-year-old male in Saskatchewan killed four people and injured several others.

In the U.S., anti-Muslim bias incidents spiked in the weeks after Trump’s election Nov. 8 but dropped after that, according to two groups that monitor such in-

cidents. The Southern Poverty Law Center counted 112 antiMuslim incidents starting on Election Day. The Quebec City mosque was the target of a hate crime during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in June. In that incident, a worshiper found a pig’s head left at the mosque’s doorstep. A note with it said: “Bon appétit,” the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported. Islam prohibits eating pork.

An activist group Bienvenue aux Refugies (Welcome for Refugees) issued a statement that Bissonnette is known for “Pro-Le Pen and anti-feminists” statements on social networks. Le Pen refers to French National Front

leader Marine Le Pen, a staunch anti-immigrant politician and top contender in France’s presidential election this spring.

Trump called Trudeau on Monday to express condolences.

The lights on the Eiffel Tower will be turned off at midnight to honor the victims, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said. She said in a tweet Monday that the action would send a “fraternal message to everyone in Quebec and in Canada.”

Trudeau said “Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, cities and country.”

In response to Trump’s refugee and travel ban, Trudeau posted a

message on Twitter Saturday saying: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.”

Since Trudeau’s party won election in 2015, 39,000 Syrian refugees have been admitted to Canada. Trump’s executive order issued Friday bans Syrians from entering the U.S. indefinitely.

Canadian authorities said an increased police presence would be put around mosques.

The New York Police Department said it would increase patrols at mosques and other places of worship.

The Council on American Islamic Relations, which advocates for Muslims in the USA, usually receives about 30 reports a week of anti-Muslim incidents but received 111 in the week after Trump’s election, said Corey Saylor, director of CAIR’s Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia.

“We’re continuing to see incidents but not at that sustained level,” he said.

The incidents tend to involve verbal harassment and pulling headscarves off of Muslim women’s heads, Saylor said.

Mohamed Labidi, vice president of the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre, said Islamophobia has been growing.

“It’s because the tragedies (terror attacks) that happened in France and other countries, the media always repeats and stresses the word ‘Muslim, Muslim, Muslim,’ ” he said.

“I don’t blame the media because they’re doing their job of informing the public of what happened, but maybe do better to not invite Islamophobia.”

He’s one of many registered Democrats who voted for Trump. Now he’s a registered Republican.

“Trump caught the population off guard on this,” Amar said.

“People did not expect it to happen so soon.”

McCoy was among those who admitted he was confused by what seemed like a complex issue, and he expressed dismay over the case of a South Carolina college student who was stranded by the order. “I don’t truly understand international travel, because I don’t do it,” he said. But, he added, the order and the process it set in motion “seems overcomplicated to me. This nation is at over-complicating great things.”

Amar, however, said there was no way the order could have been worded or issued that would have placated Trump’s critics. “The reaction is very much based on the side to which one belongs,” said Amar, who teaches business at Seton Hall University and lives in rural Warren County, N.J. And they like what they’re seeing. According to a Quinnipiac Poll, although Trump’s job approval among all Americans has slumped to 36% — the lowest on comparable record — since the inauguration his stock has risen among Republicans from 76% approval two weeks ago to 81%.

A.D. Amar, a Trump supporter who immigrated to the U.S. from India

After the election, it seemed Trump might get a pass on many of his campaign promises. This was because his supporters’ loved him so much, because his opponents hated his proposals so much, and because of a general acknowledgment that Trump the campaigner was best taken seriously but not literally.

And at first the president-elect seemed inclined to take the pass.

He said he wouldn’t necessarily build a wall along every inch of the Mexican border; would focus deportation efforts not on all illegal immigrants, but on those with criminal records; and try to retain some facets of Obamacare.

Then he took office.

“Only a person like Trump could do such bold things,” Amar said. Cope knew why: “Because he has the toughest skin — tougher than snakeskin.”

ANDREW JANSEN, USA TODAY NETWORK

Andy Sun joins protesters in Springfield, Mo., in a rally against one of President Trump’s most high-profile executive orders: limits on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.

‘Swinging for the fences’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

table in National Security Council meetings.

While Trump has signed fewer executive orders than Obama at this point in his presidency, he has signed more presidential memoranda — a kind of first cousin to executive orders that became Obama’s tool of choice as he tried to get around a Republican Congress.

Trump’s party has control of Congress. He’s just impatient.

Trump appears to be trying to make good on every campaign promise at once, which in itself was one of his campaign promises. In speeches last fall, he promised to “cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued

by President Obama” on his very first day in office. (He didn’t.)

“It’s not unusual for a president to hit the ground running and issue a lot of unilateral directives early in his term,” says William Howell, a political science professor at the University of Chicago. “But to see him swinging for the fences — he’s just letting it rip on all manner of policy issues — is striking.”

Presidential scholars say Trump’s executive orders have followed an escalating pattern after a change of party: Republican presidents rescind Democratic policies and reinstate those of the last Republican president. Democratic presidents do the same with Republican policies.

The Day One executive order on the Affordable Care Act, for

example, was a one-page directive telling federal agencies to allow more flexibility in enforcing the provisions of Obamacare until Congress can repeal it. But the order contained the phrase “to the maximum extent permitted by law,” three times, suggesting that its effects are yet to be determined.

One of the most noticeable differences is in style: While Obama signed most of his executive orders in private, Trump has signed all of his in public, with a headline-generating photo opportunities intended to convey constant presidential action.

“Executive orders are generally used to enact public policies, but some of Trump’s orders seem to have been for more symbolic or rhetorical purposes,” says Graham Dodds, a political scientist at Concordia University in Montreal.

And that seems to be part of the strategy. “We’ve hit the ground running at a record pace,” Trump boasted in his weekly radio address Saturday.

The White House is scheduling executive order signing ceremonies even before it knows which order Trump is going to sign — or whether he’ll sign them at all.

Aboard Air Force One on Thursday, press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump would order an investigation into his spurious claims of widespread voter fraud. That order never came.

Executive orders are also a way to keep control of the narrative.

“Bill Clinton did something similar during his impeachment

where he issued a bunch of executive orders to do things Congress likely would have done anyway,” says Chad Murphy, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia.

“But he wanted to show he was busy doing the people’s work while Congress was wasting four years and $40 million investigating his sex life.”

The pace of action has prompted questions about how much agency lawyers have been involved in the drafting of executive orders, which has been standard practice under previous presidents. The order on refugee admissions, for example, appeared to include permanent legal residents — “green card” holders — despite later clarifications from the White House that it wasn’t the president’s intent.

Trump’s orders also show that presidential directives have become political weapons as much as they are policy and management tools, with partisan outrage depending on which president was wielding the pen.

During Obama’s presidency, Trump often criticized what he called “overreaching” orders.

“Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?” he tweeted as early as 2012.

Says Dodds, “The conservatives who criticized Bill Clinton’s orders were largely silent for George W. Bush’s orders, then loudly complained about Barack Obama’s orders, and now are mostly silent about Donald Trump’s orders.”

Fear returns after Trump border flap Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Fear, which has been absent on Wall Street since President Trump was elected, made a comeback Monday.

The cause of the market jitters was an executive order signed Friday by Trump designed to close the U.S. border to folks from Syria indefinitely as well as a temporary ban on refugees and citizens of seven Middle East countries with Muslim-dominated populaces. The backlash to the border flap caused uncertainty about many of Trump’s policies to shoot up, offsetting what had been more bullish narratives about Trump’s business-friendly plans to cut corporate taxes, reduce business regulations and

The VIX, a measure of future volatility expectations, jumped more than 12% to 11.88 Monday.

Apple’s iPhone sales machine gets humming again Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

Apple expects to ring in the new year with a holiday of iPhone 7 riches, breaking a nearly yearlong funk.

After three straight quarters of declining iPhone shipments, which contributed to its first fiscal-year sales drop in more than a decade, Apple is expected to see sales edge up 1.5% to $77.1 billion from $75.9 billion a year ago, acSAN FRANCISCO

cording to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Some analysts, such as UBS’ Steven Milunovich, forecast Apple sales near the high end of its own guidance of $76 billion to $78 billion. Earnings per share are expected to drop to $3.22 from $3.28.

Somewhere in Silicon Valley, Apple execs may be able to exhale.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based company reports results for its fiscal first quarter, its strongest seasonally, on Tuesday after the market closes. Sales of iPhone, Apple’s top-selling product, as usual will be closely watched. Fi-

KYLE LOONEY, REVIEWED.COM

nancial data and research firm Factset estimates that Apple sold 78 million, up from 74.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.

A bang-up quarter would be a

welcome respite against a backdrop of flagging iPhone and desktop sales last year. But it could be short-lived amid saturated smartphone and PC markets worldwide.

Barclays analyst Mark Moskowitz doesn’t expect Apple shares to rise much this year because more consumers are “mixing down” for iPhone 6s in lieu of iPhone 7. He’s also concerned about a potential trade war with China and Apple’s business prospects in India.

Shipments for Apple’s iMacs and MacBooks last year plunged 9.8% from 2015, the largest drop

among the top five PC makers and the first decline by Apple since 2012, according to market researcher IDC. Apple shares have risen 10% since the election, contributing to the Dow Jones industrial average’s rise over 20,000, and they’re up 25% in the past year. That compares to a 12-month rise of 23% for the Nasdaq composite.

Earlier this month, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other Apple executives took 2016 pay cuts after the company was tripped up by lower revenue because of weaker iPhone sales.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “This film reminds us that we have been through harder, more difficult times. And we got through it back then, during segregation. And we can get through it now.”

— Janelle Monáe to USA TODAY about ‘Hidden Figures’

They examine the death, and trial, that ignited the nation

The world will never know who Trayvon Martin — the unarmed 17-year-old fatally shot in Florida by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman on Feb. BOOK 26, 2012 — could REVIEW have grown up to JALEESA M. be.

JONES In a way, we never knew who he was. His humanity was lost, broken down into school records, headlines and 140 characters in the ensuing media scrutiny and trial of Zimmerman for his role in the altercation that ended in Trayvon’s death.

In Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin (Spiegel & Grau, 331 pp., eeeg out of four), Trayvon’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, gather the pieces and attempt to present the whole of who their son was when he was just a boy — before he became a martyr and before his death sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.

He was a boy who fell in love with aviation and dreamed of flying beyond the world he knew. A boy trying to find his place in a society that already viewed him as a man.

But as much as the book is about Trayvon’s life, it’s also a meditation on the criminal justice system that his parents believe did not do him justice.

In Fulton and Martin’s words, it was Trayvon — their “Tray,” who called his mom “Cupcake” and counted everyone he met as a friend — who was put on trial. In alternating chapters, the parents detail how their son’s non-violent infractions were examined under a microscope while Zimmerman’s previous run-ins with the law were, in their view, glossed over. (Zimmerman was arrested in April 2012 after nationwide protests and charged with second-degree murder. At his trial, Zimmerman said he felt threatened by the teen, whom he had followed in his car and then on foot. He was later acquitted.)

The divorced couple tunnel into how the prosecution was

barred from using the phrase “racial profiling” and how cultural differences and linguistic racism hurt the credibility of the prosecution’s key witness, Trayvon’s friend Rachel Jeantel.

Later, Fulton and Martin write that prosecutors neglected to ask the right questions and present more character witnesses to humanize Trayvon in the eyes of the jury.

But while Rest in Power laments the pitfalls of the case and the state of racial justice, Fulton and Martin also offer a glint of hope — in the rallies for justice,

the support that extended from Hollywood to the White House and the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement, which brought together people who understood that, no, Trayvon wasn’t an angel because he was a human being.

Rest in Power stands as a reminder — not only of Trayvon’s life and death but of the vulnerability of black lives in a country that still needs to be reminded they matter. It also offers a prayer that someday, as Fulton writes, “the killing will stop” and “the healing will begin.”

Dear Annie: I am finding myself in a predicament. Currently, my sister-in-law baby-sits my 3- and 5-year-old children two days a week while I am at work. Last week, when I went to pick them up, I parked behind her fiance’s truck. Her fiance, ‘‘Brad,’’ was getting ready to leave at the same time I was. Instead of waiting for me to move from behind his vehicle, he squeezed around my car between other vehicles in the driveway. When I got home, I noticed that his tire had rubbed against my car and put several scratches in the paint.

Well, I called my sister-in-law, as I don’t know Brad very well, and explained to her what had happened. I said I think Brad needs to pay for damages. She said she doesn’t want to be in the middle of things and would give

him my number.

Several days went by, and I didn’t hear from Brad. In the meantime, I got an estimate for repairs. I talked to my sister-in-law again, and she said she would have Brad call me. Well, he finally did that evening, and he gave me about a dozen different scenarios of how he thinks the situation might have happened, but he said that there is no way he did it and that he isn’t paying for it. I am sure he

Breaking ground for subway travel “American Experience: The Race Underground” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) recalls the difficult efforts to create America’s first subway system. Building Boston’s electrified underground railway was backbreaking work, but convincing people that travel underground could be safe and even ‘‘moral’’ was the first hurdle.

This ‘‘Experience’’ could really be called the Frank Sprague story.

He had the vision and determination to create an electric motor to propel commuter trains.

A b o v e ground, horse-drawn trolley cars made the crowded streets dangerous and unsanitary. While London was the first world city to build an underground, it still used coal-fired steam engines, leaving passengers covered in smoke and soot.

Sprague quit his job with Thomas Edison’s laboratory to follow his dream, and convinced the city of Richmond, Virginia, to take a flier on his electric motor for its streetcars.

Success there inspired Boston to use his motors in its revolutionary underground system. Building it would incite resistance from more than 12,000 businessmen, who warned of endless inconvenience and disruption. There was even dissent of the superstitious variety.

Some warned that traveling underground would put riders in dangerous proximity to hell. When construction excavation uncovered a forgotten Revolutionary War-era cemetery, the same voices said it was a warning from God. But more than a quarter-million Bostonians braved Hades and rode the subway on its opening day on Sept. 1, 1897. Within a decade, New York and Philadelphia opened subways. Sprague sold his revolutionary electric motor to the Edison Company, which put their name on it, depriving its inventor of the attention and renown he deserved.

O Tonight’s episode of “Taboo” (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA) takes this lurid period melodrama to a new level of decadent opulence. After watching the first few episodes, I was struck by the series’ distinction between veiled and overt violence.

Well, the veil comes off and then some in this blood-soaked episode.

There’s also some supernatural ‘‘intimacy’’ that’s anything but dreamy.

Tonight’s ‘‘Taboo’’ also features an extraordinary formal ball captured with stunning cinematography. Nearly every interior shot can seem like a painting come to life.

Like the clipped dialogue of James Delaney (Tom Hardy), this series may be dark, blunt and weird, but it’s also often too gorgeous to take in with just one viewing.

hit my car, and I told him that. He told me he had gone to my workplace to look at my vehicle and gone to the body shop and asked to see pictures of the damage. I thought that was disturbing. The conversation ended with him swearing at me and hanging up. The next day, Brad called my husband to also tell him he isn’t paying and offered no apologies for his behavior toward me.

The problem I now have is how to handle the baby-sitting situation.

Brad lives at my sister-inlaw’s home, and I really don’t want to have any more confrontations with him. My sister-in-law loves my children and would be heartbroken if I got a different sitter. But I really don’t think I am comfortable taking them to her house with Brad around. Should I follow my gut feeling and stop

6 tips for avoiding winter doldrums

By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski

W

e are almost halfway through winter and even though the predicted weather the rest of this week looks quite spring-like, it is likely that we have probably not seen the last of Old Man Winter. Here are a few tips to help you get through the remainder of the winter season as healthy and happy as possible.

1. Catch up on sleep.

With less daylight than in summer months, winter is a great time to make sure you are getting adequate sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep each night for adults.

Many adults do not get this amount.

Some online resources l National Sleep Foundation: sleepfoundation.org l Go to Lawrence.lib.ks.us and search “light reading” for the dates, times and locations when light therapy service is available. The National Institute of Mental Health has more information about SAD at nimh.nlm.gov. l For more information on handwashing and preventing illness, go to cdc.gov. l Choosemyplate.gov has helpful nutrition

information, while fruitsandveggiesmorematters. org has creative recipes for many fruits and vegetables. l For more on the benefits of keeping your mind

challenged, go to nlm.nih.gov.

l The Lawrence Laboratory offers classes and also maintains a calendar of many other local class offerings. Go to lawrencelab.com. l For “couch potato” exercises, visit cdc.gov.

sion and aim to spend 30 minutes a day doing something to improve your mind or reduce your stress. Read a book; listen to music; attend an educational lecture; learn to meditate; take a stress-management class; learn another language; or work on other proven techniques to reduce and manage the stress in your life. Many organizations in our area offer classes.

Check out the KU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the Lawrence Arts Center, Lawrence Parks and Recreation, the Lawrence Public Library and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

6. Get off the couch. In addition to keeping your mind fit, plan to spend at least 30 minutes each

day doing something to improve your physical fitness. Go for a walk (there are indoor options if you can’t walk outdoors); take a yoga or other fitness class; exercise with a fitness video or an online fitness class; or use small weights or resistance bands to do some simple and easy strength training exercises during TV commercials.

Games, crafts, other activities may safeguard aging brain

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

Chicago — Even in your 70s and beyond, simple activities including web-surfing, playing bridge and socializing can stave off mental decline, new research says.

Benefits were greatest in computer users and in those without a gene variation linked with Alzheimer’s disease. But even among seniors with that trait, mental decline that sometimes precedes dementia was less common among those who engaged in mind-stimulating activities.

The results don’t apply to costly, computer-based games that purport to keep the brain sharp — those were not studied. The benefits were found from activities that many seniors have access to.

“They don’t have to spend their life savings” on fancy gadgets, said Dr. Yonas Geda,

the study’s senior author and a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic’s Scottsdale, Ariz., campus.

The study was published Monday in the journal JAMA Neurology. The researchers noted that the statistical link they found with reduced risk does not prove the activities were responsible.

Still, said Heather Snyder of the Alzheimer’s Association, the results support the idea that “being engaged mentally is good for brain health.”

The study looked at five types of activities that are thought to help keep the mind sharp: computer use; making crafts; playing games including chess or bridge; going to movies or other types of socializing; and reading books. The idea was to see if these activities could help prevent mild cognitive impairment. That condition involves problems with memory, thinking and attention that don’t interfere much with daily life but

which increase risks for developing Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Almost 2,000 adults aged 70 to 93 without any memory problems participated. They lived in Minnesota’s Olmsted County, where the Mayo Clinic in Rochester is located. They were asked whether they had engaged in any of the five activities during the previous year and if so, how often. They were tested for the condition in mental exams at the beginning and every 15 months for about four years. During that time, 456 study participants developed the mild impairment.

Analysis found a protective effect from each activity except for reading books. Study participants who engaged in any of the other activities at least once weekly were 20 percent to 30 percent less likely to develop the condition over the four years than those who never did those activities.

Report: KU basketball player Vick investigated in 2015 J-W Staff Report

University of Kansas men’s basketball player Lagerald Vick reportedly was the subject of a KU investigation into whether he hit a female student in 2015.

The Kansas City Star reports that it obtained information that KU’s Vick Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access recommended that Vick be placed on

two years of university probation related to allegations that he punched a female student in the arm more than once and kicked her in the face.

The Star, without citing sources, said it learned the IOA office conducted the investigation from late December 2015 to January 2016. During its investigations, IOA offers recommendations based on a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lesser standard than the beyond a reasonable doubt standard used in criminal cases. A check of court records indicate Vick has not been charged with a crime related to the alleged

Was alleged to have struck female student assault. It is unclear whether Vick has been placed on probation by KU officials.

Journal-World efforts to reach Vick’s accuser via email Monday night were unsuccessful. The Journal-World did reach a Texas man who identified himself as the father of the alleged victim in the reported assault. He declined to comment, and referred questions to a Texas-based attorney. Efforts to reach the attorney Monday night were unsuccessful.

Officials with Kansas Athletics

and with the University of Kansas’ communications office largely declined to comment.

“Due to federal law and to protect the rights of all individuals involved, the university cannot confirm or deny IOA investigations,” Joe Monaco, director of strategic communications for KU said in a statement.

Vick, a sophomore from Memphis, has appeared in all 21 games for Kansas, starting five.

He appeared in 19 games last season. If he ever was suspended by Kansas basketball coach

Bill Self last season, it was not made public. Vick, 20, and Self were unavailable for comment Monday night.

A December report of a rape of a 16-year old female in the student housing complex that is home to the KU men’s basketball team and other male students remains under investigation by KU Police. No information has been released about a suspect in that case. Five KU basketball players were interviewed as witnesses in connection with the reported incident.

Mason, Jayhawks prepare to face Baylor and new kid on the block Manu Lecomte

By Matt Tait

W

mtait@ljworld.com

hen No. 2 Baylor comes to Lawrence Wednesday night to face No. 3 Kansas — 8 p.m. on ESPN — a lot of the focus will be on Baylor’s big men and how the Jayhawks will handle them.

Junior forward Johnathan Motley (6-foot-10, 230 pounds) and junior center Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. (7-foot, 220) have their names scattered throughout the Top 10 of various statistical categories in the Big 12 Conference, with Motley’s 9.6 rebounds-per-game average leading the conference (offensive, defensive and total) and Lual-Acuil tops in the Big 12 in blocked shots (2.8 per game).

While those two big bodies — and others — figure to pose yet another monster challenge for Kansas senior Landen Lucas, who stood tall in a tough matchup with Kentucky last weekend, the Bears’ front court is far from the only area where the Jayhawks could have their hands full.

Baylor point guard Manu Lecomte (pronounced Man-ew La-connt) has been one of the biggest surprises of the 2016-17 season. He also has played a huge part in Baylor racing out to a 20-1 start (7-1 in Big 12 play) and climbing to the top of the national polls, for one week at No. 1 (Jan. 9) and back up to second on Monday.

A transfer from the University of Miami (Florida) who sat out the 2015-16 season,

Lecomte has started all 21 games for the Bears at point guard this season and enters Wednesday’s showdown with Kansas (19-2, 7-1) averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 assists and shooting .412 from 3-point range.

Flashy, confident and playing like he’s been in the conference for years, Lecomte has proven to be the perfect complement to Baylor’s litany of explosive athletes around him.

“I’ve watched him a lot,” said KU point guard Frank Mason III, who revealed earlier this season that he tries to catch every Big 12 game on tape or television. “He’s a good player, does a good job of running the team and getting other guys involved. And it’s just not him. They have a good team and I’m excited to get matched up with them on Wednesday.”

The starting role is nothing new for Lecomte, a native of Belgium. During his two seasons with the Hurricanes, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound guard started 40 of 71 games for Jim Larranaga’s squad while filling up the stat sheet in similar ways.

With so many Big 12 teams led by point guards who have been mainstays in many Big 12 basketball conversations during the past few years, Wednesday’s clash will provide Mason with his first opportunity to face the new kid on the block.

Asked if he was looking forward to the challenge of battling new blood, Mason said he was

Kansas football replenishing next season’s roster with walk-ons

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

As Kansas football coach David Beaty and his staff replenish the team’s roster through recruiting, not every addition gets a #NeatDeal tweet from the third-year head coach. Those generally are reserved for recruits who are offered scholarships and verbally commit to play at KU. Recently, some other prospects have made their intentions

to join the Jayhawks known, too, and they’ll most likely join in walk-on roles — at least to start.

While many high school and junior college players announce such decisions via Twitter, Kashe Boatner, a linebacker from Alabama, didn’t. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Boatner, though, told Jayhawk Slant’s Jon Kirby of his plans to arrive at KU this summer.

Boatner, a linebacker and running back at Glenwood High in Phenix City, Ala.,

earned first-team All-State honors in the state’s private school division.

On Monday night, Jack Williams, a 6-foot-3 offensive lineman from Argyle High (Texas), became the latest player to pledge with Beaty’s bunch, in typical Twitter fashion.

Another prospect who says he’ll join KU, Moses Marshall, already has played at the college level. A 6-2, 219-pound tight end, the Cleveland native spent the previous two

seasons with the University of Charleston and Erie Community College (New York).

Three Sunflower State preps, like Marshall, chose Twitter as their vehicle for announcing they plan to join the Kansas football program.

Six-foot-five kicker Cole Brungardt, from Lawrence High, Wichita Trinity linebacker Sam Schroeder (6-1, 225) and Abilene lineman Sam Burt (6-4, 245) all have made public their intentions

to become Jayhawks.

Their announcements came not too long after Pratt receiver and defensive back Hunter Kaufman did the same.

Brungardt The group will join Free State linebacker Jay Dineen, Wichita Northwest offensive lineman Joey Gilbertson, Derby receiver Kenyon Tabor and Wichita Collegiate linebacker Cooper Root, all of whom are set to sign with Kansas Wednesday as homestate additions.

Timberwolves 111, Magic 105, OT Minneapolis — Andrew Wiggins scored 27 points and Ricky Rubio made a career-high six 3-pointers to lead Minnesota to a victory in overtime over Orlando Monday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Rubio added 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and Wiggins forced overtime with a jumper with 10 seconds to play to help the Wolves win for the eighth time in 11 games.

Elfrid Payton scored 21 points and Serge Ibaka had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who came back from nine points down with five minutes to play to take the lead late in regulation. Evan Fournier scored nine points in 23 minutes in his first game since Jan. 13.

Rubio came into the game shooting a ghastly 24 percent from deep. But he went 6 for 9 on Monday night, including three in a row in the third quarter to get the sparse crowd on its feet. Shabazz Muhammad ended the quarter with a shot from halfcourt to give Minnesota an 80-79 lead, and the bench scorer put up a 3 monocle as a swaggered back to the bench.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 16 points for Brooklyn (9-39), which has lost six straight and 17 of its last 18. The Nets blew an 18-point lead at home against Miami last week, and had an 11-point lead late in the first half of this one.

Embiid sat out with a left knee contusion. He also will not travel with the Sixers for road games later this week against Dallas and San Antonio. The Sixers officially listed Embiid as doubtful for those two games.

This game was postponed Nov. 30 by the NBA because of condensation on the court at the Wells Fargo Center.

The delay was worth the wait for Philly.

Jayhawks find advantages in playing multiple defenses

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self joked after last Saturday’s six-point win at No. 4 Kentucky that nobody was going to use KU’s zone defense in that one to make a howto tape for coaches and players to study.

“Guys, they shot 50 percent (51.9) in the second half,” Self said as he walked out of Rupp Arena. “It’s not like our zone was unbelievable.”

Maybe not; but it was a game-changer, it proved critical for Kansas against the Wildcats and it very well could become a key ingredient to the Jayhawks’ attack the rest of the season.

“It might be the answer, at least in short spurts,” senior forward Landen Lucas recently said of KU’s 2-3 zone.

“Maybe not for a long period of time, but it’s definitely something we’ll work on.”

Throughout Self’s time as the head coach at Kansas, tough, man-to-man defense has been a staple.

There have been moments when Self has gone zone to change a game or used a junk defense to survive in March. But, for the most part, Self’s Jayhawks have played defense like chess players — man against man, thinking ahead, digging in and trying to dictate everything that happens.

So far this season, Self often has critiqued his team’s defensive efforts and, on occasion, been so disappointed by what he’s seen that he’s all but had to go zone.

The 2-3 look, which Self says is best when played active, helped the Jayhawks win a game over Georgia in November and has been used in each of the last two games to varying degrees of success.

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) tips a shot in over Kentucky forward Derek Willis (35) during the second half Saturday at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.

Virginia, the Jayhawks played it late, after they were tired, and did not impress their coach much. Against Kentucky, Self called for it in the first half and watched it change the game.

“Switching defenses I think really threw them off a little bit,” freshman Josh Jackson said.

Jackson’s use of the plural form of the word defense was important because Kansas used more than just man and zone to top the Wildcats.

For what Self remembered as four or five possessions, Kansas tried a triangle-and-two to keep Kentucky’s Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox under wraps, but Derek Willis drained 5-of-6 from 3-point range and that was enough of that.

“If that’s 2-of-6, then we stay in it and it looks good,” Self said.

Truth be told, that might be Self’s preference. The 2-3 zone can be effective when run right, but KU never has spent much time practicing it

and Self might prefer to play 2-3 only as a last resort.

“I feel more confident with our combination defense than I do our zone,” he said.

Regardless of which zone the Jayhawks use, or whether they even use one at all, Self on Monday revealed one hidden advantage to the strategy.

“I think it allowed the guys to stay in the game because maybe the fatigue factor wasn’t as much,” he said of his starting five, which averaged 34 minutes apiece against Kentucky.

“I hate to say that you could ever rest on defense, but, with our particular zone, the way we played it, I think it kind of bought us a little time (and) we didn’t have to sub quite as much.”

Although this veteran KU team has pride in playing man-to-man defense, it also appears to have taken on the mindset that it will do whatever, whenever, to get a victory, and at least one

far more interested in the team game than any individual matchup.

Similarly, KU coach Bill Self, when asked

Baylor (20-1), one of the three top 10 teams to not lose, jumped from fifth to second. The Bears had six first-place votes and were one point ahead of Kansas (19-2), which dropped one place. The Jayhawks had nine firstplace votes.

Villanova, which had been No. 1 for the last two weeks and six overall, dropped to fourth after losing at Marquette. The Wildcats (20-2), who also had a last-second win over Virginia, were No. 1 on four ballots.

Two of the top three teams in the country will square off Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, when No. 3 KU welcomes No. 2 Baylor to Lawrence.

Jackson again named Newcomer of Week For the fifth time in his stellar freshman season, Kansas wing Josh Jackson earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors, the conference announced Monday.

Jackson’s latest award

came following his fifth double-double of the season, in the Jayhawks’ Saturday victory at Kentucky.

The 6-foot-8 standout from Detroit averaged 21.0 points and 7.0 rebounds for KU during two road games against top-20 teams. Jackson also shot 6-for-9 on 3-pointers in the two contests.

The star Kansas freshman had 20 points and 10 rebounds in the Jayhawks’ 79-73 win at Kentucky in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge. KU had gone 0-for-8 from 3-point range in the first half, and Jackson opened the second with two successful 3s to give the Jayhawks the lead and momentum.

Earlier in the week, Jackson tied his career high with 22 points in a 85-69 loss at West Virginia, where he shot 4-for-4 from 3-point range.

Jackson’s five times being named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week surpasses former KU guard

Tyshawn Taylor’s four times during the 2008-09 season. His five newcomer accolades tie him for fifth-most on the Big 12 list with Clifton Cook of Texas A & M, during the 1998-99 season.

what made the Bears go, had trouble limiting his answer to any one area.

“They’re a total team,” Self said of Baylor. “They’re longer up front with their bigs and their depth up front, and I think their zone is probably better than it has been, but they’re

playing more man now, too. I just think they’re a better team. They’re so deep up front, and then their point guard has had a terrific year, and then you’ve got Ish (Wainright) and you’ve got (Al) Freeman and all those other guys with experience on the

perimeter. “(It’s) not very often you have a chance to host a Top-5 team at home,” Self said. “We were able to do that last year in an epic game (vs. Oklahoma) and I’m sure this one will be a hotly contested game, as well.”

Kansas moves to No. 11 in men’s track computer rankings J-W Staff Report

The Kansas men’s track and field team moved up nine spots to No. 11 in the nation, the highest ranking for the squad since the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association began its computer ranking system in 2008. Last week’s No. 20 ranking was the first time KU’s men team had appeared.

Personal-best marks from throwers Gleb Dudarev and Nicolai Ceban in their 2017 debuts accounted for KU’s upward move in the rankings.

Dudarev, a freshman

from Vitebsk, Belarus, made his KU debut a memorable one by throwing a winning toss of 23.00 meters (75 feet, 5 inches) to win the weight throw in the Jayhawk Classic on Friday in Lawrence.

It was the second-best mark so far this season by a college athlete. A junior from Camenca, Moldova, Ceban won the shot put with a mark of 19.85 meters (65-1), the third-best throw in the NCAA this season.

Other Big 12 schools to appear in the rankings that were released Monday: 14 — Texas Tech, 16 — Texas, 18 — Oklahoma State, 22 — Oklahoma.

A rare loss and a massive road victory added up to Kansas dropping just one spot in the latest Associated Press college basketball poll.

After three straight weeks at No. 2, the Jayhawks only fell to No. 3 after losing at West Virginia and winning at Kentucky.

Gonzaga, the last unbeaten team in Division I, moved to No. 1 for the second time in school history.

The Zags (22-0) jumped up from third when Villanova and Kansas both were beaten in a week when seven of the top 10 lost.

Gonzaga received 46 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. The Zags were No. 1 for the last three weeks of the 2012-13 season.

Gonzaga is the fifth team to reach No. 1 this season joining Duke, Kentucky, Villanova and Baylor.

Jayhawk said the 2-3 zone seemed like a good fit.

“Zone is one of those things you learn when you’re a little kid so you kind of understand the basic principles of it,” Lucas said. “I think our personnel fits it pretty well. We’ve got really long wings who can deflect passes and disturb people and the two little guys up front can create some havoc on their point guards, so it could be something that could change up some pace and be good for us.”
