Man gets 60 days jail time in Haskell rape case ——

Was convicted of lesser charge of battery

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A former Haskell Indian Nations University student accused of rape will spend 60 days in the Douglas County Jail for his part in the incident — a sentence that the victim in the case decried as “not enough.”

After pleading no contest to a lesser charge, Jared Wheeler, Wheeler 21, was convicted of a single felony count of aggravated battery in late November. He originally faced two felony counts of rape and one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy.

Immigrant’s suit against ICE agents to see trial ——

Kenyan national says men beat him

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — A judge has granted a civil trial for a Kenyan man who alleges immigration agents violently attacked him at a Kansas jail for refusing to be fingerprinted before deportation, an incident captured on jailhouse surveillance video.

The lawsuit by Justine Mochama, an international college student who overstayed his visa, has languished in federal court in Kansas for almost three years.

TOMMY KELLEY, A BREWER AT FREE STATE BREWING COMPANY, works to remove spent grains from the mash tun during the brewing process on Thursday. Free State is involved with the development of a variety of malt barley that can be grown in the lower Great Plains.

NEW GRAINS FOR THE PLAINS Free State Brewing Company helping to develop barley variety

aving a pint of beer at Free State Brewing Company, with a view of gleaming fermentation vessels, may seem as local a brew as one can get. But a new project aims to do better than that.

Free State founder Chuck Magerl is part of a multifaceted team — made up of agricultural researchers, geneticists and field testers — who are working to find a variety of winter malt barley that can be grown by farmers in the region.

Malt barley is a main component of the brewing process, and Magerl will be a liaison between the agricultural side of the project and brewers. Magerl will also be creating test brews, and, should the project succeed, he said it would make a difference for regional

craft brewers.

“Brewing is taking agriculture to the people, ultimately,” Magerl said. “And to have that connection in being able to provide people with of a sense of, ‘OK, yes, the heart of this beer has come out of the soil in Gove County, Kansas.’ It’s

just something that is a real sense of connection.”

Historically, farmers in the lower Great Plains have not cultivated the crop, and that means local brewers like Magerl have to not only look out of state, but sometimes out of the country to get the malt barley they

need to supply their operations.

Magerl said that Free State has a couple of major distributors, with the bulk of the barley coming from the northern part of the U.S., Canada, England and Germany.

The project is funded by a $35,000 grant, “Building a Winter Malting Barley Market for the Great Plains.” The grant was awarded this year by the Brewers Association, and can be renewed annually.

The grant for the Great Plains is 1 of 4 grants related to winter barley development that the Brewers Association awarded for 2017, according to Chris Swersey, a supply chain specialist with the association.

“We believe strongly that winter barley is a very important factor in keeping barley competitive with other crops,” Swersey said via email.

Haskell CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

On Friday, Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin ordered Wheeler to serve 60 days in jail, followed by two years of probation.

For the duration of his probation, Wheeler has been ordered to obey the law, abstain from drugs and alcohol and refrain from contacting the victim. He has also been ordered to complete an anger management program. If he fails to follow the conditions of his probation, he may be ordered to serve more than a year in prison.

Before Martin announced her decision, the victim in the case and her family members addressed the court, expressing a will to move forward and dismay with the plea agreement Wheeler was allowed to make.

The victim was overcome by tears as she stood to speak. She was able to

‘‘

All I heard is how this has affected your life.

I didn’t hear a single word about how it affected (the victim’s) life. She said all she wanted in the beginning was an apology, and two years later she still doesn’t have it.”

continue, however, after her mother rushed to her side and draped an arm around her shoulder.

“Every day is a struggle for me, against myself. It does make you insecure, it does make you question yourself,” she said.

“It’s affected everything.”

However, the healing has begun, she said.

Though she’s still plagued by nightmares, she’s now back in college and has found a new sense of strength and ambition.

Her family members and friends sniffled quietly as they listened.

“I forgive him in some sense,” the victim said of Wheeler. “Because if I can’t forgive him, then I’m always going to be broken.

“I still believe he should have gotten more than what was given to

him,” she added, regarding Wheeler’s aggravated battery conviction. “It’s too light. It’s not enough.”

The victim’s mother and father echoed her statements, saying they’ll move forward as a family, but that they disagree with Wheeler’s single felony conviction.

Wheeler was also allowed to address the court.

“This whole case has affected my life, and I think that I’ve taken ... positive steps,” he said.

“And it’s motivated me even more than I have been motivated in my life because it’s more of a wake-up call to me.”

Near the end of the hearing Martin took a moment to offer a few of her own comments on the case and to express her disappointment in Wheeler’s words.

“All I heard is how this has affected your life. I didn’t hear a single word about how it affected (the victim’s) life,” she said.

“She said all she wanted in the beginning was an apology, and two years later she still doesn’t have it. Your comments left much to be desired as far as showing any remorse for what brought you into this courtroom today.”

The charge that Wheeler was convicted of is a level-seven felony, according to the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines. Martin noted the 60-day jail sentence was the maximum amount of incarceration she was legally allowed to sentence Wheeler to serve.

Had he been convicted of the three original charges, Wheeler would have faced a minimum sentence of more than 36 years in prison and a maximum sentence of more than 163 years.

Both Wheeler and Galen Satoe, 22, were arrested in November 2014 after they were accused of raping the victim, then a 19-year-old freshman, in their dormitory room.

L awrence J ournal -W orld Both were released from jail the same day after posting a $75,000 bond each. Both were expelled from Haskell.

The prosecution claimed that the two men attacked the woman, while the defendants argued throughout that the encounter was consensual.

In separate trials this summer, juries failed to reach unanimous decisions for Wheeler and Satoe. Mistrials were declared in both cases.

Satoe is currently awaiting trial. He faces two felony counts of rape and a single felony count of aiding and abetting attempted rape.

After Wheeler was sentenced, the victim, her family, friends and detectives involved in the case waited outside the courtroom for Wheeler to be placed in handcuffs and escorted out.

Disappointment hit again when they learned Wheeler was escorted out a back door in the courtroom.

“And with our reserves depleted to the point where it’s no longer fiscally responsible to really go any further, I fear we will be facing some tough decisions in the next fiscal cycle, at least until public education in our state is adequately and equitably funded,” he said.

University of Kansas Executive Vice Chancellor Tim Caboni said KU has only two priorities this year: restoring the $10 million in cuts that Gov. Sam Brownback ordered last year for the Lawrence campus and KU Medical Center, and restoring stability to the state’s budget and revenues.

“For us to do the work that we do for the state of Kansas and for Lawrence, we need to be able to plan,” Caboni told the local House and Senate members. “And this is not just the University of Kansas. It’s all of higher education, and, to be candid, every state agency.”

Lawmakers will gather in Topeka on Monday for the start of the 2017 session, with 50 of the 165 seats being filled by new members. The dominant issues they are expected to face are a looming $938 million budget gap over the next 18 months and the need to adopt an entirely new school funding formula.

For the last six years, the Kansas Legislature has been dominated by conservative Republicans loyal to Gov. Sam Brownback, and together they passed sweeping tax cuts that many now say are responsible for continuing budget shortfalls and under-funding of core state services,

REP. TOM SLOAN, LEFT, R-LAWRENCE, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE LAWRENCE-AREA LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION talk about issues coming up for the 2017 session during the Lawrence chamber of commerce’s annual Legislative Priorities Breakfast on Friday. including education.

They also pushed through legislation that took away the authority of local governments to make certain decisions, especially in areas such as gun laws and local taxes.

But the 2016 elections produced a big shift in the Legislature as Democrats and moderate Republicans gained seats, and many of Brownback’s supporters either retired from the Legislature or lost their bids for reelection, leading some local officials to hope that some of those policies can be reversed.

“Our big ask this year is for the state of Kansas to be a partner with local governments and to no longer be an adversary, which is frankly how we’ve felt over the last four to six years,” said Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan.

“We are often at odds with the priorities of the Legislature. I hope that with the 50-plus new members you guys have this year, that’s no longer the case.”

When it came time for them to speak, several local legislators talked about reversing many of the tax cuts that Brownback championed in 2012, including the so-called LLC exemption that eliminated taxes on income derived from limited liability companies, partnerships and other kinds of pass-through business structures.

Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, said he believes a majority of Republicans in the House would support repealing the LLC exemption, and they might also be willing to restore a third income bracket for upper-income Kansans.

“The question will be whether the governor will veto anything that we propose, and I suspect that an override would be a very close vote,” he said.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, who will serve on the Senate tax committee this year, also predicted that reversing some of Brownback’s tax policies will be high on the Legislature’s agenda.

“We need to repair our tax code and return fairness,” she said. “A lot of the discussion has been on expanding the tax base to re-include nonwage business income and reinstate allowances for depreciation. But we also need to look at income tiers.”

Repealing the LLC exemption would generate about $250 million a year in revenue, according to

legislative research staff.

The much more costly portion of the 2012 tax cuts was the overall reduction in tax rates, including elimination of the third tax bracket, which has cost the state more than $700 million a year.

The Lawrence chamber’s priority list called for a “fair and balanced” tax system, with relatively equal reliance on income, sales and property taxes. And although the chamber did not specifically mention repealing the LLC exemption or any other income tax issue, it does oppose raising the state property tax, which is used mainly to fund education, or expanding the sales tax to include taxes on services.

CORRECTIONS

Suit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil refused to throw out his claims that two agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement used excessive force during the January 2014 altercation.

“It is a good outcome and hopefully it sends a message to ICE that you can’t beat up a pretrial detainee because you want his fingerprints — even if you are frustrated or mad with him. You don’t have authority to do that,” said Matthew Hoppock, the attorney who represents Mochama.

Mochama’s lawsuit claiming his

constitutional rights were violated initially listed the Department of Homeland Security and various other parties, but the judge decided the case could only go forward against the two ICE agents involved in the altercation.

The U.S. attorney’s office declined comment.

ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer said Friday the agency does not comment on pending litigation but takes seriously all allegations of employee misconduct.

At the time of the incident Mochama had already been in custody for six months waiting to be deported to Kenya, and had filed a petition for release pending deportation.

He wanted his attorney to first look at a form

before putting his fingerprint on it, as the ICE agents wanted.

The jailhouse video, which Hoppock provided to The Associated Press, shows Mochama calmly standing with his hands in his pockets when the agents pulled at his arms and lifted him into the air. The lawsuit contends one of the agents, Timothy Zwetow, then punched him in the stomach. During the scuffle Mochama sinks to the floor, and his head is slammed into the concrete floor. At one point, Zwetow gets up to retrieve the form and inkpad while the other agent, Rodney Nichols, remains on top of him.

He was eventually taken to the ICE office in Wichita, where another altercation

with agents occurred.

He was eventually returned to the Butler County Detention Facility where he saw a nurse who gave him Tylenol and escorted him back to his cell.

The lawsuit contends he still suffers severe headaches and nightmares, which he attributes to the head injuries that day, and contends the jail did not screen him for a concussion or internal injuries.

Mochama is still in custody in the Butler County jail pending deportation while his civil case plays out in the courts. He has agreed not to fight deportation and the government has agreed not to deport him while his civil lawsuit is in the courts as long as he does not

contest his continued detention, the agreement shows.

Vratil rejected the government’s request to dismiss all claims in the lawsuit, finding a reasonable person could find that the amount and type of force used against Mochama by the ICE agents at the jail was unreasonable. She noted that Mochama had not created a serious security problem and was not actively resisting but “merely had his hands in his pockets.”

However, Vratil sided with ICE on other claims related to a second altercation later that day at ICE offices in Wichita, finding that in that instance Mochama was combative and the officers had reason to be concerned about their safety.

Investigations into KU’s response to sexual violence still open T

wo and a half years after a University of Kansas student who said she was raped on campus filed a complaint, the federal government is still investigating KU’s response to sexual assault.

KU was first added to a widely publicized list of colleges being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education for their handling of sexual violence cases on July 16, 2014, when the department’s Office for Civil Rights opened its first investigation of KU. The USDE opened a second investigation of KU — stemming from the same woman’s complaint — on July 20, 2015. Findings, when they’re reached, should indicate whether KU responded appropriately.

The woman, who said she was raped in Lewis Hall by a fellow

Heard on the Hill

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

freshman she’d gone to a party with, sparked local protests and drew national media attention to KU when she went public with her story in 2014.

When the USDE started its investigation list in May 2014, there were 55 open cases nationwide.

That number has ballooned to 300 open cases at 221 schools, according to this week’s list.

KU is not the only

Kansas institution under investigation. The USDE has four open cases at Kansas State University and one open case at Washburn University, according the list.

The status of all seven Kansas investigations has not changed since a year and a half ago, when I wrote a story analyzing the USDE sexual assault investigation backlog. (At that time, the USDE had cleared just 11 cases since May 2014 and had 134 open — with the average case age being 13 months.

USDE’s Office for Civil Rights guidelines call for investigators to resolve cases in 180 days, or about six months. The USDE had requested an extra $30.7 million in funding, mostly to hire more staffers to keep up with the increased caseload.)

The crackdown on campus sexual assault

— through enforcement of federal Title IX and campus-level culture changes — got extra attention this week when the Obama Administration released the final report of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault.

Vice President Joe Biden shared an open letter urging campuses to continue prioritizing enforcement and education.

“Every fall, thousands of parents drop their children off at your colleges with enormous hope and expectation. But deep in the pit of every parent’s stomach is a nagging fear — will my child be alright?” Biden’s letter says. “... As leaders of our nation’s colleges and universities, you have a legal and a moral obligation to combat sexual violence on your campuses — and that starts with changing

the culture on your campuses.”

The task force’s final report actually mentions KU: It’s listed as 1 of 9 grantees receiving money from the Department for Health and Human Services’ $6 million College Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative announced in July “to influence and implement campus policies and prevention strategies based on the recommendations from the Task Force.” The White House on Thursday also released a 14-page guide for campuses to combat sexual assault. The guide states federal laws and best practices regarding sexual violence policies, education, climate surveys and transparency.

The Chronicle of Higher Education called Thursday’s White House actions “a sort of swan

song for an administration that has been uncommonly active on the issue of sexual assault at colleges,” adding, “It could be read as a signal that this administration expects the incoming Trump administration to relax efforts at enforcing the gender-equity law Title IX.” Regardless, sexual violence and Title IX enforcement are sure to remain a newsworthy topic at KU in 2017. In addition to the USDE investigations, there are multiple sexual violenceand sexual harassmentrelated civil lawsuits against KU that also remain open and continue moving through federal and county courts.

Another retreat will be held on Feb. 20. Before the February retreat, public input will be sought based on the framework developed at the Jan. 13 and 14 retreat. The public input will be shared with the City Commission at its Feb. 20 meeting.

The retreats are open to the public, and the meeting times are as follows: l 2-6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 13 l 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14 l 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday, Feb. 20

KU police investigate sexual battery report

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

University of Kansas police are investigating a sex crime that reportedly occurred in September in a campus residence hall and was reported to law enforcement this week.

A sexual battery was reported to KU police on Tuesday, according to KU Office of Public Safety records. The alleged victim told police the incident occurred around 3 a.m. Sept. 3 at Oliver Hall, 1815 Naismith Drive.

The woman was not a KU student but the suspect — a man she knew — was at the time, said Deputy Chief James Anguiano of the KU Office of Public Safety. Anguiano said

he could not confirm whether the suspect remains enrolled at KU now.

The woman was not injured, Anguiano said.

Police are still investigating the case, Anguiano said. Police had not forwarded the case to the district attorney’s office and no arrest had been made Friday afternoon.

The report is not related to the sexual assaults reported at Oliver Hall in late October, he said.

In that case, two women accused Jon J. Myers — who lived at Oliver but who is no longer enrolled at KU — of touching them inappropriately on Oct. 25. Myers was charged with sexual battery and aggravated sexual battery. He pleaded not guilty.

January’s birthstone is Garnet

The city will post documents and information regarding the process on its website at lawrenceks.org/strategic-plan. In addition, residents can sign up to receive email notifications about the strategic planning process.

All of the meetings will be held at the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, 2029 Becker Drive. The agenda for the retreat on Jan. 13 and 14 is posted online.

The planning process is expected to conclude in March, ahead of the 2018 budget deliberations.

Man accused of sex crimes seeks mental exam for teen Holton (ap) — An attorney for a Kansas man accused of sexually assaulting five women and a teenager is requesting that the teen undergo a mental health examination.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that attorney Kathleen Ambrosio wrote in a motion filed Wednesday that there are “concerns regarding mental stability.”

Prosecutors allege that her client, 22-year-old Jacob Ewing, assaulted the teen at a rural cemetery when she was 13. The girl, now 15, went to authorities in August, after other women accused the Holton man of similar crimes.

Court documents say the girl described herself as a “cutter” during interviews with police.

Prosecutors didn’t immediately respond to the motion. Ewing is scheduled to go on trial in March in the case involving the teen.

He’s entered not guilty pleas in all cases.

City

of

sexual harassment suit Olathe (ap) — An Olathe firefighter has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that was sexually harassed and discriminated against for years.

Elizabeth Hinton filed a lawsuit against the city in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., the Kansas City Star reported.

She said she was the city’s only woman firefighter for years after she was hired in 2006, and that the harassment was worse during and after her pregnancy.

“Well say goodbye to that body. That’s why I don’t date young girls like you. You’re too fertile,” Hinton alleged a senior department officer told her.

The suit also alleged that after returning to work post-maternity leave, male colleagues would make obscene comments about Hinton’s body and cow noises outside the room she’d use to pump

breast milk.

Hinton filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last May, alleging she was retaliated against as a result, including being given an unfavorable review for the first time.

Hinton also said even though she had “excellent performance evaluations,” she was denied the same opportunity her male counterparts were given to participate in professional development programs.

After reporting sexual harassment to her supervisor, Hinton alleged she was told to let it go and that “they didn’t really mean it.”

The firefighter is seeking an unspecified amount in compensatory and punitive damages.

A city spokeswoman declined to comment but said in a written statement that the city “takes matters like this seriously.”

These days it seems as though there is a conspiracy against hope. Is it reasonable to still have hope…? Or is it only logical to resort to despair, disbelief, fear and cynicism? … faith in God has traditionally been the source of strength that enables people who are immersed in adversity to overcome it. There’s no reason to lose hope. Faith and hope that survive adversity are stronger than faith and hope that have not been tested. Trust in God and seek him for the answers.

Mods, Dems and deals in Kansas Three-party politics is back in Kansas. The parties consist of moderate Republicans, conservative Republicans and Democrats. Deals being made and leadership changes afoot all point to a new era — but the state’s problems remain daunting.

In the race for House minority leader, the narrow defeat of the centrist, conciliatory Rep. Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City, by the more partisan, fiery Jim Ward, D-Wichita, portends a new direction for Kansas Democrats. Meanwhile, Kansas’ moderate Republicans — the other group gaining seats in 2016 — are cross-pressured.

They have won a number of significant committee spots and other positions, including more power over education funding.

However, recent votes for conservative leadership constitute a sharp reminder that moderate Republicans must work with their conservative party leadership.

Mods backed conservative leaders: House Speaker-elect Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, who won on the second ballot, and re-elected Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, who had no serious challenger.

Then again, mods also won sev-

eral key committee positions and other important roles within the party caucuses, including House majority leader. Clearly, they have already realized that they have to pick and choose their battles while working within the party of Gov. Sam Brownback. They will probably focus on closing the LLC tax loophole and on education funding. These are great issues, and this is exactly what voters were promised.

The Democrats have a much freer hand. While still badly outnumbered, they did pick up several Statehouse seats, most notably in Wichita, plus one in the Senate. It now falls to Ward, Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, and their colleagues to lead, spelling out a clear agenda contrasting with Brownback’s while reaching out to the mods — and others — for support.

Democrats should fight for: l Passing a new school base funding formula that ensures stable school funding statewide, not just in Johnson County, while avoiding excessive dependence on property taxes. l Ending the pointless and destructive “border war” tax breaks between Kansas and Missouri that reward the politically well-connected who shake down the system for millions, but create no new jobs for the Kansas City area or either state. l Bringing some sanity to the state’s “constitutional carry” gun laws, starting with a return of the background check, permitting and training requirements for carrying a handgun.

Local control over the issue also needs to return to the students and faculty on university campuses, where the pending imposition of concealed-carry

is wildly unpopular. l Creating “lock boxes” to protect the highway, children’s health and other trust funds from any further diversion from their original purposes. l Demanding long-term solutions to the state’s hemorrhaging budget mess and refusing to support any more one-time quick fixes until there is a plan. l Defending professionalism, experience and competence among state workers and opposing the return of political patronage. l A top-to-bottom audit of KanCare, Brownback’s privatized approach to Medicaid, to see if the promised cost savings have materialized, and to measure its impact on recipients, including seniors, the developmentally disabled, those with mental illnesses and others requiring long-term care.

Moderate Republicans are still part of a conservativedominated party. They will fight hard for their priorities but must also pick their battles, often inside the caucus. It’s up to Ward, Hensley and their Democratic colleagues to show Kansans another way forward.

N. Korea a real threat Washington — You can kick the can down the road, but when Kim Jong Un announces, as he did last Sunday, that “we have reached the final stage in preparations to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic rocket,” you are reaching the end of that road.

Since the early 1990s, we have offered every kind of inducement to get North Korea to give up its nuclear program. All failed miserably. Pyongyang managed to extort money, food, oil and commercial nuclear reactors in exchange. But it was all a swindle.

North Korea was never going to give up its nukes because it sees them as the ultimate guarantee of regime survival.

The North Koreans believe that nukes confer inviolability.

Saddam Hussein was invaded and deposed before he could acquire them. Kim won’t let that happen to him. That’s why Thae Yong Ho, a recent high-level defector, insisted that “As long as Kim Jong Un is in power, North Korea will never give up its nuclear weapons, even if it’s offered $1 trillion or $10 trillion in rewards.”

Meanwhile, they have advanced. They’ve already exploded a handful of nuclear bombs.

And they’ve twice successfully launched satellites, which means they have the ICBM essentials. If they can miniaturize their weapons to fit on top of the rocket and control re-entry, they’ll be able to push a button in Pyongyang and wipe out an American city.

What to do? The options are stark: (1) Pre-emptive attack on its missile launching facilities. Doable but reckless. It is the option most likely to trigger an actual war. The North Koreans enjoy both conventional superiority and proximity: a vast army poised at the Demilitarized Zone only 30 miles from Seoul. Americans are not going to fight another land war in Asia.

(2) Shoot down the test ICBM, as advocated by The Wall Street Journal. Assuming we can. Democrats have done their best to abort or slow down anti-missile defenses since Ronald Reagan proposed them in the early 1980s. Even so, we should be able to intercept a single, relatively primitive ICBM of the sort North Korea might be capable of.

Though such a shoot-down would occur nowhere near North Korean soil, it could still very well provoke a military response.

Which is why the new administration should issue a clear warning that if such a test missile is launched, we will bring it down.

Barack Obama is gone. Such a red line could be a powerful deterrent.

(3) Return tactical U.S. nuclear weapons to South Korea.

They were withdrawn in 1991

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

by George H.W. Bush in the waning days of the Cold War. Gorbachev’s Soviet Union responded in kind. A good idea in general, but not on the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang had railed constantly against their presence, but they did act as a deterrent to any contemplated North Korean aggression. Which might make them a useful bargaining chip.

(4) Economic leverage on China, upon which Pyongyang depends for its survival. Donald Trump seems to suggest using trade to pressure China to get North Korea to desist. The problem is that China has shown no evidence of being willing to yield a priceless strategic asset — a wholly dependent client state that acts as a permanent thorn and distraction to U.S. power in the Pacific Rim — because of mere economic pressure.

(5) Strategic leverage on China.

We’ve been begging China for decades to halt the North Korean nuclear program. Beijing plays along with sanctions and offers occasional expressions of dismay.

Nothing more. There’s one way guaranteed to get its attention.

Declare that we would no longer oppose Japan acquiring a nuclear deterrent.

This is a radical step that goes against our general policy of nonproliferation. But the point is to halt proliferation to the infinitely more dangerous regime in North Korea. China is the key. The Chinese have many nightmares, none worse than a nuclear-armed Japan.

The principal strategic challenge facing the United States is the rise of revisionist powers — Russia, China and Iran — striving to expel American influence from their regions. In comparison, the Korean problem is minor, an idiosyncratic relic of the Cold War. North Korea should be a strategic afterthought, like Cuba. And it would be if not for its nukes.

That’s a big if. A wholly unpredictable, highly erratic and often irrational regime is acquiring the capacity to destroy an American city by missile. That’s an urgent problem.

North Korea may be just an unexploded ordnance of a long-concluded Cold War. But we cannot keep assuming it will never go off.

Brownback outlines initiatives to bring doctors to rural Kansas federal and private dollars.

The governor also announced that he’s forming a task force to draft a plan for establishing a privately funded school to train osteopaths in Kansas.

Osteopathy is a branch of medicine that specializes in treating disorders by manipulating the muscular and skeletal systems.

Brownback noted that Kansas has had a shortage of medical personnel in rural areas for decades and that 92 of the state’s 105 counties are considered

medically underserved.

In response, Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center, said it would be difficult to gauge the impact of such an effort until task force recommendations are known.

He also noted in an emailed statement that state funding cuts to Kansas Board of Regents institutions last year included a $10.7 million cut to KU, and that the university’s priority this session is getting it restored.

In addition to making sure the barley is able to withstand the winter, Zhang said they will be assessing yield, disease resistance and quality.

Once the barley varieties are field tested, Magerl will help in conducting test brews. The process is a familiar one for Magerl. Free State has been running field trials for about 10 years on numerous winter malt varieties developed in the United States and Europe.

Though he said he knows the project will likely be a long-term effort, its expansiveness has Magerl hopeful for what the coming years could bring for regional breweries.

“I believe there is enough of a likelihood — particularly with the research team that’s associated with this project — that there’s going to be some pretty interesting things come out of it,” Magerl said.

SHOOTER KILLS 5 AT FLA. AIRPORT

WASHINGTON The director of national intelligence released a 25-page declassified version of its report into alleged Russian hacking during the 2016 campaign, concluding that the intent of the operation was to help get Donald Trump elected president.

“We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election,” said the report, which was the work of the FBI, CIA and the National Security Agency. “Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary (Hillary) Clinton and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.”

A gunman fired at random on passengers in a baggage claim area at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Friday, killing five people and injuring eight, before being taken into custody, according to law enforcement authorities.

Witnesses said the male shooter emptied several magazines of bullets, then dropped to the floor spread-eagle to await arrest. He was taken into custody without incident by a Broward County sheriff’s deputy, according to Sheriff Scott Israel.

“People started kind of screaming and trying to get out of any door they could or hide under the chairs,” Mark Lea, a witness, told MSNBC. “He just kind of continued coming in, just randomly shooting at people, no rhyme or reason to it.”

The intelligence community first concluded in October that Russia was behind the hacking of emails belonging to Clinton campaign aides and the Democratic National Committee, but it stopped short of suggesting that Russia sought any particular outcome.

President Obama requested the fuller report last month after Democratic members of Congress alleged that Russia’s interference was one-sided and had the intent of getting Trump elected.

Friday’s report noted that Putin and other Kremlin officials often praised Trump, whom they saw as more Russiafriendly on issues such as Syria and Ukraine.

Scope of protests poses challenge for inaugural security Numbers higher than at past swearing-ins Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Federal and local officials have been quietly scrambling to find space for tens of thousands of demonstrators expected to flood the capital for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration this month.

At least 26 protest groups are seeking or have been granted permits — more than four times the WASHINGTON

average number for past inaugurations — in a show of force that will probably test a sprawling security operation.

In total, nearly 400,000 demonstrators were anticipated as of Friday, according to National Park Service records. More than half of those are likely to participate in the Women’s March on Washington the day after Trump’s swearing-in Jan. 20. A coalition of civil and human rights advocates are scheduled to parade through D.C.

charged with ensuring a peaceful transfer of power, the anticipated surge in demonstrations, both permitted and unsanctioned, figure prominently in an operation that involves thousands of law enforcement and military authorities, officials said Friday during an inauguration security briefing.

Interim D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham noted that authorities are aware of the online boasts of some groups who have vowed to “shut down” events, but he said that prospect “is something we are prepared for.”

Although Newsham declined

to elaborate on the specific tactics, the chief said plans include the use of physical barriers. At past inaugurations, those barriers have included large trucks, buses and construction equipment.

Brian Ebert, the Secret Service’s agent overseeing the operation, declined to comment on any specific threat, but he noted that authorities have been engaged in months of planning involving scenarios that have run the gamut of possible threats.

“An event this size is going to disrupt the city,” Ebert said, adding that authorities were attempting to keep those disruptions to a minimum.

Trump retains doubts about Russian cyber hacking President-elect proclaims respect for intelligence team, will seek plan to fight such attacks David Jackson

@djusatoday USA TODAY

President-elect Donald Trump said he had a “constructive” meeting with intelligence officials Friday, and though he praised them, he still questioned assertions that Russia hacked Democrats in an effort to influence last year’s election.

Claiming that Russia, China and other countries and organizations are always launching cyberattacks against the United States — “including the Democratic National Committee” — Trump said in a written statement, “There was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election, including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines.”

He said, “There were attempts to hack the Republican National Committee, but the RNC had strong hacking defenses, and the hackers were unsuccessful.”

The intelligence community outlined its findings in a declassified report issued a few hours after the Trump briefing.

A statement from the office of the Director of National Intelligence said investigators “did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election, and DHS (the Department of Homeland Security) assesses that the types of systems the Russian actors targeted or compromised were not involved in vote tallying.”

Though Trump criticized aspects of the Russia investigation hours before the briefing, he said in his statement, “I have tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of this (intelligence) community to our great nation.”

Saying all Americans need to “aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks,” Trump said that as president, he would appoint a team to develop a defense plan.

“The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm,” the presidentelect said. “Two weeks from today, I will take the oath of office, and America’s safety and security will be my number one priority.”

Trump has criticized what he calls an overemphasis on claims that the Russians hacked Democratic Party officials.

“China, relatively recently, hacked 20 million government names,” Trump told The New York Times. “How come nobody even talks about that? This is a political witch hunt.”

to achieve an international counterterrorism coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.”

The report did not assess what impact the hacking had on the outcome of the presidential election, but it made clear that the agencies did not believe any vote-counting systems were breached.

The declassified version offers little new public evidence, and the document argued that revealing the full extent of intelligence on the hacking could jeopardize sources and methods.

Indeed, much of the report is based on public news reports. A seven-page annex to the report highlights the role that a Russian-owned television network, RT America, had in spreading Russian propaganda during the campaign.

“RT America TV, a Kremlinfinanced channel operated from within the United States, has substantially expanded its repertoire of programming that highlights criticism of alleged U.S. shortcomings in democracy and civil liberties,” the report

said. “RT’s criticism of the U.S. election was the latest facet of its broader and longer-standing anti-U.S. messaging likely aimed at undermining viewers’ trust in U.S. democratic procedures and undercutting U.S. criticism of Russia’s political system.”

Obama received the report Thursday, and Trump was briefed on the classified version Friday.

come of the election.” That remains a point of contention.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump’s conclusion that the Russian hacking had no effect “is not supported by the briefing, report or common sense.”

“It is one thing to say that there was no tampering with vote tallying — which is true —

“We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.”

U.S. intelligence report on Russian hacking

In a statement, Trump conceded that Russia and China “are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations, including the Democrat National Committee.”

He said hackers attempted to break into Republican National Committee systems but were unsuccessful.

Trump insisted, “There was absolutely no effect on the out-

it is another thing to say that the daily dumping of documents disparaging to Secretary Clinton that was made possible

by Russian cyberoperations had no effect on the campaigns,” said Schiff, who was briefed on the report Friday with members of Congress. “These conclusions are well-supported by the evidence, and the report should put to rest any uncertainty as to Russian responsibility for this unprecedented interference in our internal affairs.”

Before his briefing at Trump Tower, the president-elect announced that he asked Congress to investigate what he believes to be a leak of a secret intelligence report on the Russians to the news media. He tweeted, “I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the White House did not leak the report — and he found it ironic that the presidentelect complained about the disclosure.

Days ago, Earnest noted, Trump tweeted his approval of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has published classified information in addition to the Democratic emails that surfaced during the election.

Trump’s situational disapproval of leaks, Earnest said, “leads me to believe that his concerns are something othGETTY IMAGES er than protecting classified James Clapper information.”

Trump protested the news coverage Thursday night.

“How did NBC get ‘an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?’

Who gave them this report and why? Politics!” he tweeted.

The president-elect had a nearly two-hour briefing Friday that included Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, all of whom have cited evidence pointing to a Russian plan to hack Democrats.

In recent days, the presidentelect has softened his rhetoric about the intelligence agencies.

“The media lies to make it look like I am against ‘Intelligence’ when in fact I am a big fan!”

Trump said during a tweet storm Thursday.

“I think it’s dangerous,” Vice President Biden told PBS NewsHour. “For a president not to have confidence in, not to be prepared to listen to the myriad of intelligence agencies from defense intelligence to the CIA, etc., is absolutely mindless. It’s just mindless.”

Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, wrote on Twitter, “Why. Can’t. He. Just. Say. He. Accepts. The. Conclusion. Of. The. Intel. Agencies? It is seriously weird he won’t just admit Russia did it.”

briefed on the airport shooting by the Broward Sheriff’s office. On his Twitter account, he said the shooter arrived in Fort Lauderdale aboard a flight with a gun in a checked bag.

“He claimed his bag and took the gun from baggage and went into the bathroom to load it.

Came out shooting people in baggage claim,” LaMarca tweeted.

The suspect took a Delta flight from Anchorage to MinneapolisSt. Paul Thursday night and flew the last leg to Fort Lauderdale Friday morning.

Sheriff Israel said authorities had not established a motive for the shooting, and it was too early to declare it a terrorist act.

“At this point, it looks like he acted alone,” Israel said. He called the shootings a “horrific, horrific act.”

Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said the gunman was carrying a military ID in the name of Esteban Santiago, 26.

Santiago’s aunt, Maria Ruiz, who lives in Union City, N.J., said her nephew is an Army veteran who served two years in Iraq and came back acting strangely, but he was happy after the birth of his child last year. “I don’t know why this happened,” she said at her home Friday afternoon.

The melee, which erupted around 1 p.m. ET, brought air traffic to a standstill at the heavily traveled airport.

Some incoming flights were halted on the tarmac and, according to airport director Mark Gale,

The shooter, described as slender, about 5-foot-7 and wearing a blue T-shirt, did not say a word during the incident.

He fired his weapon as he strolled among passengers at a baggage carousel in Terminal 2, which services Delta flights.

Lea told MSNBC the gunman was “just randomly shooting people” with a 9 mm pistol and

stopped only after emptying about three magazines of bullets.

“He wasn’t targeting anyone particular,” he said.

The shooting sent people scrambling onto the tarmac, some carrying luggage. Others hid behind cars.

Paramedics treated a bleeding victim outside the airport. Hundreds of people stood on the tarmac as an ambulance drove by.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott called the shooting a “senseless act of

evil” and said he phoned President-elect Donald Trump to keep him informed about the case.

Early word on the incident came from a tweet by Ari Fleischer, former White House spokesman for President George W. Bush. “I’m at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport,” Fleischer tweeted.

“Shots have been fired. Everyone is running.”

Gains expected from holiday retail roundup Paul Davidson USA TODAY

For retail analysts, or even just keenly interested Americans, next week brings the equivalent of the Super Bowl: the definitive tally of holiday retail sales.

Many retailers get 40% to 50% of their annual revenue in the holiday season, says economist Chris Christopher of IHS Markit.

Some reports forecast healthy gains for the season. Christopher predicts a 3.7% increase from 2015. That would be up from a 3.2% gain in 2015 but below 2014’s 4.8% jump.

The Commerce Department’s retail sales total for December was available Friday, excluding autos, gasoline and restaurants.

Economists predict total retail sales will increase a substantial

Employers add 156,000 jobs in December The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey, rose to 4.7% from 4.6%, as nearly 200,000 Americans entered the labor force, which includes those working and looking for jobs, the Labor Department said Friday.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected 180,000 job gains.

Average hourly wages increased in December after dipping in November, rising 10 cents to $26, and they’re up 2.9% annually, the most since June 2009.

Pay gains are likely to accelerate as the low unemployment rate forces employers to bid up to at-

Consumer confidence hit a post-recession high last month.

Stocks are at record levels, and job and income growth have been steady.

“The willingness to spend and the ability to spend are both very high,” Christopher says.

Department stores are struggling. Macy’s and Sears announced dozens of store closings last week. But online sales are expected to increase 13.9% annually vs. 12.6% in 2015, Christopher says. They’re likely to make up nearly 17% of the total, compared with 15.4% in 2015.

Also encouraging is that a broader measure of joblessness that includes part-time workers who prefer full-time jobs and discouraged Americans on the sidelines, as well as the unemployed, fell to 9.2% from 9.3%.

A possible concern is that the number of temporary workers fell by 16,000. Employers typically hire contingent workers before adding permanent staffers and that group is also the first to be cut. But the drop only partly offset a 24,000 increase in temps in November.

SHOULD WIN: Colin Farrell Most of the heavyweights are in the drama category, so Gosling should have a clear path hoofing it to victory as La La Land’s romantically crabby jazz man.

Worth consideration, on other hand, is the quirky nuance Farrell exhibits in The Lobster as a man doomed to life as a crustacean if he doesn’t find love in 45 days.

ACTRESS, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

Playing first lady Jackie Kennedy in the turmoil following JFK’s assassination, Portman’s effort is a thing of beauty. But an American icon may not resonate as much with the HFPA, so Huppert is a worthy upset pick: The French actress’ complicated rape victim is the best part about the psychological thriller Elle.

Not all entertaining involves alcohol, especially luncheons or get-togethers over activities or sports. But if you’d really like to have a dinner party and you want to serve alcohol, tell your son in advance and persuade him to be out of the house until the guests have left. Then give away or dump out all the extra booze.

HBO doc looks at Fisher, Reynolds HBO airs “Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds” (7 p.m.), a 2016 documentary and joint profile of the actresses, who both passed away last month.

A ‘‘princess’’ to one generation and ‘‘the girl next door’’ to another, both women became symbols of endurance in the face of personal heartache.

Reynolds survived one of the most sensationalized Hollywood divorces of the 20th century and Fisher turned her struggles with subs t a n c e a b u s e and bipolar disorder into humorous memoirs later adapted for the screen. ‘‘Bright Lights’’ chronicles their sometimes-difficult relationship and enduring bond.

O It takes a tough person to save a furry critter. That appears to be the lesson of “The Guardians” (9 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-14). Like the pets they rescue, the Guardians come from diverse backgrounds. Their ranks include ex-military personnel, retired police detectives, former FBI investigators, carpenters, electricians and former convicts and gang members.

First on their agenda: rescuing dogs from a so-called ‘‘puppy flipper’’ and saving pets from a hoarder’s house.

O “Unplugged Nation” (9 p.m., FYI, TV-PG) enters a second season following owners and builders of homes in remote areas that appeal to folks who need to live ‘‘off the grid.’’

It follows the fourth season premiere of “Tiny House Nation” (8 p.m., TV-PG).

Tonight’s other highlights O Fans can catch up on the first season of NBC’s new drama “This Is Us” in marathon fashion (noon to 10 p.m., USA, TV-14).

O Luke Roberts portrays crisis negotiator Eric Beaumont on the time-period premiere of “Ransom” (7 p.m. CBS, TVPG). This CBS procedural had its debut on New Year’s Day. O The Seattle Seahawks host the Detroit Lions in the NFL Wild Card Playoff (7 p.m., NBC).

O After trolling a sad woman on social media, a stalker finds a new place to stay in the 2017 shocker “Under the Bed” (7 p.m., Lifetime), starring Hannah New and Beverly D’Angelo.

O “MythBusters: The Search” (8 p.m., Science, TVPG) tests two sketchy tales: NFL’s ‘‘Deflategate’’ and the sideways ejector seat from ‘‘The Fast & the Furious.’’

I offered to mentor him and finance a twoyear degree for him if he did the work. I was able to get him enrolled in a correspondence program for inmates at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

He did the work and passed the course. We continue to work toward his educational goals.

I would appeal to your audience to think about possibly committing to mentoring a young person who is incarcerated.

I hope ‘’Confused’’ gets the mentoring he needs to realize a better future.

Dear Annie

After losing his job and spending four months in jail, he probably made his sobriety No. 1 in his life. It is the most important thing in keeping him alive, and as long as he is living with you, it should also be No. 1 in your lives — way ahead of hosting parties for friends.

Dear Annie: My heart goes out to ‘’Confused Young Life in California,’’ who wrote to you from prison. It seems he has given up on himself and is resigned to a life behind bars.

I would encourage him to never give up and never give in. Prison is no life for him. My advice to him is to set some goals for the future. He should take advantage of any educational programs that are offered at the institution, read any books he can get his hands on and seek out programs that will help to further

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 60s and have lived in our community for almost 20 years. The community has mostly retired couples, many of whom have been friends for years.

We have three adult children, who are all settled and successful. However, four years ago, our 36-year-old son became addicted to painkillers after an injury that required surgery and physical therapy. He lost his job and spent four months in jail. He has been clean for three years, and last year, we welcomed him back home. He found a job and is doing well.

Our dilemma is that we do not feel comfortable entertaining anymore because it always involves alcohol. — Concerned Dear Concerned: You cannot control your son, and ultimately his continued recovery is up to

Hellebores add late winter color to garden

H

ellebores, or Lenten roses, are perennial shade-loving flowers that are among the earliest to bloom in Kansas gardens. Bloom time varies a little with variety and the weather conditions of any given year, but hellebores flowers generally appear in early March in the Lawrence area.

Newer hybrids and variety selections of hellebores offer gardeners a surprising array of colors, in contrast to the muted colors and greenish tones that were traditionally offered. Their foliage also stays green throughout the winter.

Garden Variety Hellebores plants come in a variety of colors and bloom while it’s still cold out.

Jennifer Smith Look for hellebores in garden centers over the next few months. Selecting a plant when it is flowering ensures getting varieties with pleasing blossoms, although hellebores can really be planted any time.

Newer varieties that are especially popular are in a collection called Winter Jewels. Varieties in the collection are a range of colors with names like ‘Apricot Blush’, ‘Cherry Blossom’ and ‘Berry Swirl.’ Some varieties have a single row of petals, while others are considered doubles and have two or more rows of petals.

Shutterstock

Many of the flowers have speckles, blotches shading, contrasting centers, or frilly edges to add to their interest. Plants grow to 12-36 inches tall depending on variety.

Another benefit to buying hellebores in bloom is confirming that the plant is mature enough to produce a flower. Hellebores plants grown from seed or cutting take two to three years to produce blooms. Double flowering varieties take longer than singles.

One variety of helle-

bores, Helleborus niger, blooms as early as December or January and is sometimes called the Christmas rose instead of Lenten rose like the other varieties. It has white flowers.

Hellebores grow best in partially shaded locations with well-drained soil.

They tolerate full shade but produce fewer flowers with lower light conditions.

Pests are rare. Water over extended dry periods.

Plant hellebores in groups of odd numbers (three, five, seven, etc.).

Clustering multiple plants makes the blooms really pop in the garden, and odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye.

Plant and maintain hellebores with the crown of the plant barely covered with soil. Planting too deep or too shallow inhibits flower production and reduces cold-hardiness, respectively.

Hellebores produce viable seeds that will grow into new plants. Let them grow to fill in an area, or remove the new plants as

they come in to keep the garden tidy. Offspring of hybrid varieties are unlikely to look like the parent, which could mean finding an especially beautiful, uncultivated plant but could also mean having less attractive plants. Remember, they will need a few years to mature enough to produce flowers.

Tips for soundproofing a room Fix-It Chick C

ompletely soundproofing a room is nearly impossible, but several things can be done to reduce the amount of unwanted sound. l Reduce the air flow.

Unwanted air brings unwanted sound. Seal up cracks and crevices around windows, doors, electrical outlets and other openings. Add storm windows and door thresholds for added sound reduction. l Insulate duct work to reduce the ability of sound to travel from one room to another through ducts. l Hang heavy curtains in front of windows and doors to slow the transfer of sound, both in and out of a room. Install

Linda Cottin floor-length curtains or floor-to-ceiling curtains to improve the sound quality of a room while increasing its energy efficiency. l Add upholstered furniture, pillows and rugs to a room to absorb ambient sound. Rugs or carpet on the floor will also decrease the sound traveling through the floor into the room below.

l Use bookshelves and books to create a thick sound-stopping wall between rooms. l Install a second layer of drywall on the walls and ceiling of a room.

For an added sound barrier, spread beads of acoustical caulk between the sheets of drywall or install a layer of massloaded vinyl sheeting between the two layers of drywall. l Insulate between wall studs and joists with Roxul brand Safe’n’Sound stone wool insulation. This steel slag-based insulation is both fireproof and sound absorbent. The 3-inch thick lengths are easy to install in any unfinished room. Its sound-stopping feature coupled with its

fireproof and water resistant features make it a great soundproofing option, even when drywall needs to be removed for installation. l Install acoustic tiles on ceilings and walls.

A wide range is available. Ceiling tiles can be installed directly onto an existing ceiling or installed in place of drywall or plaster. Soundabsorbing panels for walls and ceilings come in many sizes, styles and materials. Most can be installed quickly and easily onto existing walls, either permanently or temporarily.

KU confident better ’D’ coming

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Absence of shot blocker limits Kansas

Tired of watching his team allow opposing players to get to the rim for easy baskets, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self has spent the past couple of weeks digging through his bag of tricks to try to inspire his third-ranked Jayhawks to put forth better defensive effort.

“We’re doing it all,” Self said Thursday during his regularly scheduled meeting with the media.

Perhaps at the top of that list is something that has become somewhat routine now whenever Self Self takes the mic. Whether he’s on a conference call, sitting for a postgame presser or standing in the hallway before practice while previewing the Jayhawks’ next game, Self is talking defense.

This is nothing out of the ordinary, of course. Throughout his 14 seasons in Lawrence — and well before that, too — Self has made it clear that the most important part of his basketball philosophy is sound defense.

What is new, or at least rare, is Self spending so much time answering questions about one of his teams not defending very well.

After Tuesday’s 90-88 squeaker over Kansas State, Self pulled no punches in calling this group the worst

defensive team he has had at Kansas. True or not, that soundbite had a dual purpose. First, it offered Self’s actual thoughts on the play of his team. Second, it served as a public challenge to his players to get it together.

“You do it through film, you do it through talking, you do it through challenging, you do it through demanding,” said Self when asked how he was trying to get through to his players.

SPLIT DECISION

The coaches and players charged with fixing the 13-1, third-ranked Kansas basketball team’s defensive woes can’t afford to look at it this way, but the truth is that losing 7-foot freshman center Udoka Azubuike counts as a huge part of the problem.

He was team’s lone traditional shot-blocker and led the team with 1.6 blocks per game in 12.9 minutes, an average of 5.6 per 40 minutes played. Among starters, Josh Jackson leads the team with 2.0 blocks per 40 minutes.

Royals acquire pitcher Karns AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Royals were interested in Seattle right-hander Nathan Karns going back to the winter meetings, but the Mariners were reluctant to give up a power arm under club control through 2020.

That changed on Friday.

After the Mariners traded outfielder Seth Smith to the Baltimore Orioles for veteran right-hander Yovani Gallardo, the idea of shipping Karns away became a bit more palatable. So, the Royals and Mariners were able to reach a deal that sent him to Kansas City for outfielder Jarrod Dyson.

Kansas City got the starting rotation help it so desperately needed.

The Mariners got the speed they sought on the base paths.

“As so often times is the case, once teams know there is a mutual interest in a player — in their case Jarrod, in our case Nate — we just stayed in touch and the timing was right,” Roy-

als general manager Dayton Moore said. “The deal was obviously attractive for us.”

Kansas City has been trying to acquire help for the starting rotation, its biggest weakness most of last year. Stalwart right-hander Edinson Volquez departed in free agency and aging right-hander Chris Young struggled so mightily last season he was busted to the bullpen.

SOUTH That could be the final destination for Karns, too. But the power right-hander will at least get a shot at the rotation, where the 29-year-old made 15 starts and finished 6-2 with a 5.15 ERA last season.

He missed the final two months with a back strain that landed him on the disabled list in late July, but Moore said Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto and the Royals’ own training staff believe he’s fully recovered.

“He’s been working out this offseason with no restrictions,” Moore said. “Our scouts have

done their due diligence. We’re comfortable. We’ve been in touch with where he’s been doing part of his physical therapy down in Dallas, I believe, and we’re comfortable with where he is.”

Meanwhile, the addition of Dyson gives Seattle one of the quickest outfields in baseball.

Dipoto said he envisions Dyson in left field, Leonys Martin in center field and Mitch Haniger in right field, with Ben Gamel and Guillermo Heredia competing for playing time.

EAST But Dipoto was excitedALabout the potential run protection and flexibility that Seattle’s outfield will have this season.

AL CENTRAL “We feel we now have five legitimate center fielders,” he said.

Dyson, a former 50th-round draft pick, became a fan-favorAL WEST ite in Kansas City thanks primarily to his speed on the bases. He hit .278 while stealing 30 bases a year ago.

“We’ve had many conver-

sations about Dyson specifically,” Dipoto said, “and what a good fit he was for our team.

He’s an elite-level defender.

He’s dynamic on the bases, a fearless base stealer. And the combination of Jarrod Dyson, Leonys Martin and Jean Segura hitting somewhere between the bottom and top of your lineup really creates a threeplayer dynamic on the bases for us that is probably different than the Mariners have had in a long time and perhaps most different than most teams in our league.”

Dyson became more expendable following the trade of closer Wade Davis to the Chicago Cubs for young outfielder Jorge Soler. Davis and Dyson are eligible for free agency after the season along with outfielder Lorenzo Cain, first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas, shortstop Alcides Escobar and left-hander Danny Duffy.

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Get to the offensive glass

Defense wins

Rarely is there a statistic for an upcoming game that so clearly lays out the key objective for a team seeking a victory as the rebounding stat facing the Jayhawks in this one. Through 14 games, Texas Tech has out-rebounded its opponents by 148 rebounds — nearly 11 per game — and done so by controlling the defensive glass. “They’re not allowing anybody to get to the offensive glass on them,” KU coach Bill Self said earlier this week. The Jayhawks are and should be a good offensive rebounding team and have not allowed an opponent to out-rebound them since the Stanford game, which KU won by 15. That said, both TCU and K-State played the Jayhawks even on the boards in the first two Big 12 games of the season, but this one could come down to one simple message — control the glass, win the game.

Forever a fan of making opponents play poorly and holding opposing offenses to 40 percent field goal shooting or worse, Self marveled at the way Texas Tech’s offense has reached its 79.8 points per game average so far this season. “I think we’re like at 51-and-a-half (percent shooting) or something like that, and they’re shooting a little bit better than us for the season,” Self said recently. “But they also take good shots, they’re patient, and they’ve got some big guys that can score. They just have really good balance.” Five Red Raiders average in double figures, with two more chipping in seven points per game or better. Kansas has struggled with its defense of late and figures to get another real test against Tech. If KU is not able to do a better job of guarding the ball and keeping Texas Tech players from getting to the rim, this one could very easily resemble the thrilling K-State game from a few nights ago.

Re-establish home-court edge

Although the Wildcats ultimately fell short, their ability to take the Jayhawks to the wire on Tuesday night inside Allen Fieldhouse opened the door for other Big 12 programs to believe something similar could be in their futures. “It definitely does,” said Texas Tech guard and leading scorer Keenan Evans. “When we see that, it’s like, anybody can step up and play great there and we want to be that team that gets the job done.” Asked what he’s told his teammates about the difficulty of playing at Allen Fieldhouse, Evans said: “It’s something like Iowa State but it’s way worse. You’re gonna have to tune out the crowd and focus in and get the job done.” The Jayhawks had multiple opportunities to put the Wildcats away on Tuesday but never did. If Kansas finds itself in a similar situation on Saturday against Texas Tech, it will be interesting to see if the home team can bury the Raiders and, in doing so, send a message to the rest of the league that wins in Lawrence are not an option.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Frank Mason and Devonté Graham vs. Devon Thomas and Keenan Evans

Holding serve at home has become one of the more cliche’ phrases in Big 12 basketball during the round-robin era, and no team has been able to do it quite like Kansas. So that makes every game played inside Allen Fieldhouse a big game and will go a long way toward determining whether the Jayhawks are able to navigate their way to a record-tying 13th consecutive Big 12 title. There is, however, one more reason that today’s game is a big game and it goes deeper than the fact that the Red Raiders just upset No. 7 West Virginia, one of the conference’s two biggest threats to KU’s title streak. A win Saturday night would make Kansas just the second program all-time to notch 2,200 victories, joining Kentucky, which leads with 2,217 all-time Division I wins. Kansas currently sits at 2,199 wins and 837 losses in the more than 100-year history of the program. Only North Carolina, which sits at 2,190 victories all-time, is even within reach of joining KU and Kentucky in the 2,200 club. Fourthplace Duke just reached 2,100 with its most recent victory. In a season of streaks and milestones — KU coach Bill Self is just two wins away from 400 at Kansas, by the way — add this one to the growing list.

Evans and Thomas lead the Red Raiders’ balanced offense in assists and both are capable of handling the ball and running the team. It’s up to Mason, who likely will be on Thomas, and Graham, who will match up with Evans, to disrupt their games and create problems for the Texas Tech guards. Self said earlier this week that the best way for the Jayhawks to improve their man-to-man defense was by cutting the head off of the opposing player who makes the offense go. He also pointed to Graham and Mason as the two players who should step up and shoulder the load of making that happen. Never has there been a better time for both of them to show they’re capable of doing just that than against this balanced Red Raiders’ offense that features a couple of quality and heady playmakers running the show.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“You do it a lot of different ways. The guys care, certainly, but I don’t think their actions show that they care as much as maybe what they think they do about certain things. I’m talking about strictly defense.”

Although each scouting report — including the one for today’s 6:15 p.m. tipoff against Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse — offers a number of specific instructions on how to defend this player or that one, one set or another, Self has said over and over that enticing the Jayhawks to play better defense comes down to one thing — pride.

“We’re just not active,” said Self, noting that no one on his roster was playing up to the typical Kansas standard on the defensive end of the floor. “We just don’t have near enough activity and create opportunities for steals or deflections or poor possessions by the other team, because we basically are right now in a mode where we’ve let the other team run their stuff.”

Although Self added that “everybody can get better,” he singled out his veteran backcourt as the place he would like to see things turn around first.

“I think if you cut the head off, people say that the body will follow,” Self said. “So I think most of the responsibility falls on (guard) Devonté (Graham) and Frank (Mason III) more than anybody else because I think they can set the tone for everything ... We don’t have any excuses. We’re just not doing it. But we’re going to get there. I say that with supreme confidence. We’re going to get where we want to go. That doesn’t guarantee success either, but it certainly puts us in a better position to have success.”

Asked if he was concerned about his team’s defensive slump, Mason shook it off and pointed to the fact that this veteran team understands what it takes for the Jayhawks to achieve what they want to.

“We’re not worried at all,” Mason said. “We all know what we’re capable of and everyone’s trying and giving effort. Hopefully everything will fall in place.”

of their output.

Together the pair missed a total of four shots from the floor all night.

King was 7-of-9 from the field, including 2-of-4 from long range. Meanwhile, Buffalomeat put up a dozen shots, knocking down 10 of them.

About the only difference between the two Lions, was at the free throw line. King hit six of his seven freebies, while Buffalomeat made just two of his six attempts at the charity stripe.

However, Buffalomeat was still able to claim bragging rights afterward, after he dropped 24 points earlier this season against Blue Valley. It is a number that King has been eyeing ever since.

“He’s always talking about how he’s going to beat it someday. He got close tonight,” Buffalomeat said. “I think it’s fun when we are both

Buffalomeat got the ball rolling with two quick buckets to open the game, helping Lawrence jump to a 6-0 lead. LHS pushed its advantage to 17-11 by the end of the period. King (9) and Buffalomeat (6) accounted for all but two of those points.

Things weren’t quite as easy in the second quarter, however. The Falcons claimed their first lead of the game with 1:40 to go in the first half courtesy of their talented backcourt.

“I give Olathe South a ton of credit,” Lewis said. “They are a good talented group of guards. And we expect that in the Sunflower League.

Each night our competition is really good and the games will be tight.”

The Lions clamped down on the defensive side of the ball, holding Olathe South to six points in the third, to reclaim the lead. Senior Jackson Mallory was one of the many defenders who attempted to contain the Falcons’ Nic Slavin, who finished

with 17 points.

For LHS, the tandem returned and stayed for the remainder of the second half. King and Buffalomeat combined for half of the team’s 16 points scored during the third period and then notched all but four of their 21 fourth quarter points.

“We just came out of half and switched more on defense,” Buffalomeat said. “We take pride in our defense and I think we just did that.”

Lawrence will travel to Shawnee Mission West at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Thomas propels FSHS girls

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Olathe — Free State junior Cameryn Thomas is well aware of the offensive potential of the Firebirds, and knows that she is more than capable of being one of the team’s top scorers.

Thomas was one of three Firebirds in double figures in Free State’s 73-57 win Friday over Olathe North, but the junior guard did a lot more than putting the ball in the hoop against the Eagles. Thomas stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points, seven steals, six rebounds and five assists.

“I definitely want to do whatever I can for my team,” Thomas said. “If that means defensively or with rebounding or scoring, I do whatever I can.”

The Firebirds surged to a 10-0 in the first three minutes and led comfortably the rest of the way, but they did have a few lulls offensively in the second half. Thomas’ motor kept running for the full 32 minutes, though, as she scored seven of her 13 points in the fourth quarter.

“The team appreciates her. Sometimes she’s a point guard that has got to play inside because of

FREE STATE JUNIOR CAMERYN THOMAS calls out a play as she advances the ball up the court. Thomas had 13 points, seven steals, six rebounds and five assists during the Firebirds’ 73-57 win over Olathe North on Friday night in Olathe. our deficiencies in terms of height, but boy does she go rebound, play tough defense and make some tough shots inside,” Free State coach Ted Juneau said. “She probably hasn’t had the greatest start to the season, but the last two or three games you can tell she’s getting more and more comfortable. She’s obviously a plus for us.”

The Firebirds (4-2) had a strong start behind sharp-shooting sophomore Sam Lawrence. The Free State guard scored 16 of her 18 points in the first half.

“Sam the past couple of games has kind of been off, and this is just going

to be a great start for her — especially leading into the Leavenworth game,” senior Madison Piper said of Lawrence. “She just started us off by just attacking, and it got us all going. We all got pumped up, and we were excited about it.”

Piper paced the Firebirds for the second straight game with 26 points after netting 27 in Tuesday’s 63-30 win over SM East. The Santa Clara signee said that she feels in more of a rhythm offensively in the Firebirds’ first two games back from winter break.

“I started off this year a little bit shaky, but I think I’m just starting to get go-

ing better,” Piper said. “I think I’m starting to realize that this is my last season for high school ball, and I really want to end it well.”

The Firebirds know that they’ll have to be firing on all cylinders offensively again on Tuesday if they want to push their winning streak to three games when they take on Leavenworth. The Pioneers (6-1, No. 2 in Class 5A) upended Shawnee Mission Northwest (5-2, No. 2 in Class 6A), 46-34, on Friday.

“From when we started to here, we’ve really improved and I think we’ll continue to improve,” Juneau said. “We’ll have a heck of a test Tuesday against Leavenworth.

Like I told the kids here, that’s kind of like a first quarter test to see how we can do.”

LHS girls fall to Olathe South, 54-38

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

The Lawrence High girls basketball team was put to the test this week with a pair of games against two top-five teams.

Even though the record book will show two losses, the latest being a 54-38 drubbing by Olathe South, the Lions have plenty of reason to remain optimistic about their season. It forced them to mature, much sooner than they may have anticipated.

“We did some growing up, and I thought we needed to,” Lawrence coach Jeff Dickson said. “We are a very good team, but we are not a championship team, and we aspire to do that. The last two games we have played championship-caliber teams and we have wilted in the first or second quarter.”

Lawrence (5-2, No. 4 in 6A) faced Leavenworth (No. 2 in 5A) on Tuesday and ultimately fell 47-38.

A poor second effort in the second quarter led to the team’s first loss of the year after going undefeated before winter break.

This time around, it was a lackluster showing in the opening quarter that proved to be the

which included eight points from Wycoff and a 3-pointer before the buzzer from McDermott.

Wycoff, who was honored during halftime for crossing the 1,000 career point benchmark earlier this week, looked like he was chasing another thousand points. The 6-foot-1 Wycoff scored 18 of his game-high 23 points in the first half, punishing defenders who didn’t have a hand in his face.

“Setting the tone early is one of the things that we do best,” said Seabury senior Thomas DiZerega, who had 11 points and seven rebounds. “I know last game with Pembroke (Hill), we did well. Just getting out and jumping on people at the start of the game sets the pace.”

The Eagles (3-4) were

LAWRENCE HIGH’S CHISOM AJEKWU (45) battles Olathe South’s DejaNae Roebuck (32) and Lindsey Bartles (34) for a rebound Friday night at LHS. Lions’ downfall in their league showdown.

Sophomores Chisom Ajekwu and Sammy Williams hit the only LHS baskets in the first eight minutes, scoring just five points in the first period.

To make matters worse, Olathe South’s pressure defense forced 10 turnovers. LHS finished with 23 turnovers on the night.

The Falcons (5-1, No. 5 in 6A) proceeded to get easy buckets off the Lions’ errors, jumping out to a 19-5 lead.

“The easiest thing in the world for any team is play a great team and get way down,” Dickson said.

“It’s like you have released the pressure. The key is to take those shots and make those plays

held scoreless for a fourminute stretch in the second quarter, struggling to move the ball with passes or dribbles against Seabury’s zone defenses.

Senior forward Weston Flory led Veritas with 13 points while sophomore Tucker Flory added 10.

“People seem to have trouble with our speed and length than anything,” Seabury coach Ashley Battles said. “We don’t want you to play at 10 feet and in. We want you to play at 20 feet and out.”

Veritas coach Carl Huslig said he liked his team’s chances if they kept the scores in the 40s and Seabury junior guard Bansi King ended any of those hopes in the third quarter when he heated up from beyond the 3-point line. Showing a willingness to shoot from the parking lot or even a different zip code, King swished three straight triples and scored 13 of

when it’s a tight game, when we are hanging in there and have the courage to do that.”

Junior E’lease Stafford got things going in the second quarter after not scoring until the 4:16 mark against Leavenworth, despite a teamhigh eight points. Stafford led the team in scoring for the second straight game with 10 points, including seven in the second quarter.

Lawrence was able to trim the deficit to single digits, 25-16, with two minutes to go in the half on a Stafford 3-pointer.

However, the Falcons answered right back with a 6-0 run to close out the first half.

“That core group

his team’s 15 points in the quarter.

Each time the Eagles looked like they were going to start a quick run — which included four straight points by senior Michael Rask — the 6-foot-1 King responded with a big bucket with his teammates so confident that they would run back on defense before it dropped through the net.

“I really can’t think when I shoot,” said King, who scored 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting. “I just let it go.”

The Seahawks led by as many as 28 points before emptying the bench in the final minutes. That’s when Wycoff’s dunk off of the inbounds play turned into the secondloudest ovation from the crowd. It was only outmatched in the final minute when Seabury senior Oliver Xu entered with the crowd chanting for him.

Xu was promptly

we went to battled and clawed back,” Dickson said. “They got it cut to nine points and like a true champion team they are, Olathe South, that’s when they hit you with that run.

You can’t dig yourself a 25-point hole against a top-five team in the state and think you are going to win.”

The Lions cut it back to nine midway through the third quarter. But again Olathe South had an answer with another run and LHS was never able to claw back into it. Williams finished with seven points, while junior Asia Goodwin added five. No other player scored more than four for LHS. Lawrence will travel to Shawnee Mission West at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“Man, Oliver had his opportunity,” Battles said.

“Oliver is from China. He has worked really hard in the last three years at this school. He deserves playing time. Believe it or not, he helps us in practice.

FREE STATE JUNIOR GARRETT LUINSTRA looks to pass during the Firebirds’ 56-44 win over Olathe North on Friday night in Olathe.

Free State boys win at O-North

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Olathe — Free State High’s boys basketball team did not have one of its better shooting nights, but the Firebirds took care of business on the defensive end to come away with a 56-44 road win Friday over Olathe North.

The Firebirds (4-2) limited the Eagles to just six second-half field goals en route to their second straight victory coming out of winter break.

“I thought defensively at times tonight that we were really good,” Free State coach Sam Stroh said. “A couple of loose balls got away from us, a couple of long rebounds, but I thought collectively we did a pretty good job of making their scorers earn their points.”

Olathe North senior Kenny Byers sparked the Eagles in the opening minutes to build a 7-0 lead, but the Firebirds were able to weather the storm early. Byers went on to score a game-high 25 points, but no other Eagle scored more than seven.

“We stopped the drive pretty well, so we let them shoot the three. We even stopped that pretty well,” senior Jay Dineen, who was one of three Firebirds in double figures with 13 points, said.

“Then rebounding was a big key in the game. I think we out-rebounded them by a lot, so that helps.”

The Eagles didn’t have an answer for Free State 6-foot-7 senior Cameron Clark, who scored 14 points and pulled down eight rebounds.

“Cam was effective,” Stroh said. “He did a good job rebounding — defense, kind of clogging up the lane. He did a good job.”

Despite the Eagles’

eight-point lead in the first four minutes, before Seabury found some rhythm on offense. The Seahawks (1-4), looking more crisp than earlier this week, broke through full-court pressure defense and passed the ball into the paint for layups.

Seabury senior forward Kayleigh Boos had 19 points and eight rebounds while senior guard Celia Taylor-Puckett added 10 points and freshman guard Emily Heinz scored four.

“Offensively we were pretty solid,” Seabury coach Nick Taylor. “I think what has hurt us a little bit is rebounding and defense.”

Eventually the Eagles wore down Seabury’s guards, forcing 25 turnovers by jumping into passing lanes or simply wrestling to ball away.

Veritas senior Alyssa Krestan had four steals while Alex Avila and Holly Scott both added two.

“Holly, as a senior, is

shooting woes — 16 of 45 from the field, good for 35 percent — the Firebirds still only led, 42-38, with four minutes remaining.

Stroh called a timeout with the Firebirds still looking for the first field goal of the fourth quarter. The Firebirds went to their best offensive weapon from their win Tuesday over Shawnee Mission East in junior Garrett Luinstra, and he knocked down a 3-pointer to push their lead to seven.

“My teammates just keep telling me to shoot, so I’ve got to make them happy,” Luinstra said.

Luinstra did just that, as he knocked down seven of his 14 shots from the field to lead the Firebirds with 18 points. Stroh said that the X-factor for Luinstra since winter break has been his confidence, and being 100 percent after battling mononucleosis and a foot injury in the early stages of the season.

“He’s finally healthy and I think he knows and we know what type of player he can be,” Stroh said. “The key for him I think is his consistency night-in, night-out and day-in and day-out in practice. We’re going to need him down the stretch.”

Luinstra and the Firebirds will try to push their winning streak to three when they square off against Leavenworth.

really stepping forward,” Shelton said of Scott, who added nine points and four rebounds. “A lot of teams know Tori. We’ve been talking about everybody else needs to step up one level.”

During the second half, the Eagles had a stretch where they scored on six of eight possessions, mostly helped by their ability to grab steals and sprint into their transition offense. Chloe Holland scored 13 points while Titi Shepherd had 12.

“Tori has been a special player for our program,” Shelton said. “It’s nice to see we have other girls stepping up as well.”
