Public invited to help plan crisis center

The songs of ‘El Chapo’

RAFAEL ACOSTA, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF SPANISH AT KANSAS UNIVERSITY, researches the political uses of violence in narratives of Mexico and the United States, including narrative ballads known as narcocorridos inspired by Mexico’s drug lords, including the recently captured Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

It was 2009, and Rafael Acosta was at a party in his native Mexico dancing to a lively traditional corrido, when he realized this corrido wasn’t the oldfashioned kind.

“Suddenly I paid attention to the lyrics of what

I was dancing to,” said Acosta, an assistant professor of Spanish at Kansas University. “And there was a guy singing, ‘if you are not good for killing, you are good to be killed.’”

The song was about the modern-day legend, Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

That sparked Acosta’s interest in studying the

narrative Mexican ballads known as corridos, specifically a genre known as narcocorridos — ballads about the country’s drug lords.

Guzmán’s criminal activity and power in Mexico made him globally known.

On a recent sunny afternoon, an eagle could be seen soaring from the Kansas River to the open sky above the site Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center has designated as the home of the proposed crisis intervention center.

From that site, the workday hustle and bustle of Lawrence could be distinguished only as a low background hum, easily washed away by the laughter of a couple walking two dogs in the Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park.

It’s no accident the site north of Sec- Johnson ond Street from the Douglas County Community Health Department has been selected to be the home of the proposed crisis intervention center. Its park-like setting will aid in the therapy of its future patients, said Bert Nash CEO David Johnson.

“When we acquired that property, we donated more than half for the health park,” he said. “I often see staff out there walking with children.

City alters Eagle Bend prices, operations after deficit year

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Once the temperature rises and golfers return to the greens, those who typically purchase 12-month passes to Lawrence’s city-owned golf course will find that they’re no longer available.

They’ll find there have been other changes to the course, too.

Lawrence’s Parks and Recreation Department replaced Eagle Bend Golf Course’s annual passes with discount cards, increased fees and reworked other areas of its business plan with the intent to increase revenue by more

than $100,000 this year.

Mark Hecker, assistant director of the Parks and Recreation Department, told the City Commission on Tuesday that Eagle Bend Golf Course ended 2015 in the red. He presented a list of changes to the course’s operations that went into effect this month.

“This year we lost money,” Hecker told commissioners. “We spent a little bit more than we brought in; that’s something we want to correct.”

Hecker estimated the golf course had expenses that came in about $24,000 over revenue in 2015.

Songs

“

I can assure you that 99 percent of Mexicans have never CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A seen El Chapo. These news in early January songs definitely conwhen he was captured tributed to his fame.” by the Mexican government for the third time, after twice escaping maximum-security prisons there.

Acosta suggests that narcocorridos have contributed to making Guzmán even larger than life in Mexico, other Latin American countries and even the United States — where the narcocorrido industry is big.

“I can assure you that 99 percent of Mexicans have never seen El Chapo,” Acosta said. “These songs definitely contributed to his fame.”

Acosta’s research specializes in narratives of Mexico and the United States, particularly political uses of violence in narratives. In 2014 he published a novel, in Spanish, about the Mexican drug trade, “Conquistador.”

He expects his research on narcocorridos to be part of an academic book in progress, “Druglords, Bandits, Cowboys and Illegality in the Mexican American Frontier.”

Acosta said the corrido tradition hearkens to the ballads of Medieval Spain, which functioned like “the newspapers of the time.”

A newer style was born here after the MexicanAmerican War, when most Latinos had no access to information, such as Spanish-language newspapers, Acosta said.

Another big surge happened in Mexico after the Mexican Revolution (back then, Pancho Villa was a lead character).

The corridos narrated what was going on, Acosta said. They told people’s stories and also propagandized political causes.

Narcocorridos are no different; they just specialize in the drug trade and its leaders.

Acosta said they often glamorize the drug trade and the power of cartels, which means many of them are not allowed to be played on the radio in Mexico, where a “flimsy” but intact law makes it illegal to publicly support criminal actions.

No matter, though, Acosta said, because narcocorridos easily sell albums — on the up-andup or pirated — and some

— Rafael Acosta, an assistant professor of Spanish at Kansas University of the most popular singers can pack stadiums for shows.

The narcocorridos about Guzmán create a narrative about his power that’s definitely rooted in facts — Guzmán rose from poverty to the Forbes 500 list, and has presumably committed or ordered heinous and violent acts — but probably goes beyond, Acosta said.

“It is hard to verify and contrast them with reality,” he said.

“It’s not so different from what (Donald) Trump does, in the construction of a physical persona that doesn’t relate to the actual facts,” he said.

Acosta has heard songs describing Guzmán as the prime minister of his own para-state. Others reference mythological characters, or describe him an heir to Mexico’s other powerful drug lords. He’s often portrayed as the businessman and mastermind over the cartel’s violent special forces.

Acosta said he’s found a few pre-2006 corridos about Guzmán but that those weren’t as popular as more recent ones.

Guzmán’s prison escapes also seemed to be better fuel than his capture, or the United States’ ongoing attempt to extradite him from Mexico to face charges of drug trafficking, homicide and money laundering.

Acosta said a few corridos came out quickly after Guzmán’s capture in early January.

“We’ll probably have to wait and see for a few months until actual records come out, and some more reflective songs come out,” he said.

“He’s been captured before, and it wasn’t long till he was free again ... I don’t think the last song about El Chapo has been written yet.”

LAWRENCE’S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT has replaced Eagle Bend Golf Course’s annual passes with discount cards, increased fees and reworked other areas of its business plan with the intent to increase revenue by more than $100,000 this year.

Golf

Fees — which were increased anywhere from $1 to $4, depending on how many holes are played and when and whether golfers are using a cart — will fluctuate based on day of the week and what other courses in the region are charging at any given time.

Parks and Rec could make changes to course operations without a City Commission vote because commissioners voted unanimously in December to allow the department to alter course fees without their approval.

Prior to that action, fees for the course were discussed and approved yearly.

“They appreciate the flexibility in being able to be more competitive and appropriate with the market on fees,” Stoddard said Tuesday.

Besides increasing fees and eliminating annual passes, Parks and Rec plans to increase revenue by bringing in more tournaments, offering more clinics and lessons, recruiting more sponsorships, improving food and beverage offerings and improving management of the tee time schedule.

The department expects it can increase revenue by $6,000 by moving the men’s league to Thursdays.

According to Parks and Rec’s 2015 guide, the men’s league had been held on Tuesdays and Sundays.

The changes are

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Golfers previously had the option of purchasing annual passes, which they could use any time, that were priced at either $1,000 for golf only and $1,500 for golf with the use of a cart.

Based on pass-holders’ frequency of use, some golfers were paying $8 per round on weekends, for which the city could charge one-time users more than $40, Hecker said.

Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said the pass-holders “tend to take up some of the best tee times… which is a challenge for us, revenue wise.”

“That doesn’t help us very much on the bottom line revenue,” Hecker added. “We don’t want to get away from the folks who want to get out and play a whole bunch of golf, but we do want to control the discounts.”

In place of the annual passes, golfers who want to purchase multiple rounds at one time will receive a discount, Hecker said. For example, he said, someone could purchase 10 rounds at once to receive a 20 percent discount.

The most rounds anyone can buy at once will be capped at 100, and the lowest discounted price per round will be $20, Hecker said.

estimated to help Eagle Bend generate $119,000 more in 2016 than it did in 2015. The increased greens and cart fees are estimated to increase revenue by $50,000, and the elimination of the annual passes will save about $24,000, according to the business plan.

The plan also lists improvements the department plans to make to the course and facilities this year, including sodding, leveling tees and improving the parking lot entrance.

If funding allows, the department wants to hire an architect to design more restrooms and seating for the pro shop. That project would happen in 2017.

Also, if funding allows, Parks and Rec will replace mowers and other equipment this fall.

Hecker partly blamed failing revenues in 2015 on the weather. Golfers stayed away during a half-dozen weekends in the summer because the course was “swamped out,” Hecker said, costing the course approximately $10,000 to $15,000 per weekend.

“Going forward, we want to make this more profitable,” Hecker said.

“There is equipment we want to replace, there are things we want to do to run that business out there.”

Measure seeks suicide awareness training for teachers

By Jim Suhr Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — It’s been a little more than two years since Cady Housh ended her life by stepping into a train’s path two days after her Olathe Northwest High School friend, a fellow junior and soccer teammate, had killed herself. Both girls were 16.

Cathy Housh, Cady’s mother, acknowledges that she didn’t recognize her daughter’s downward spiral in her final months

as a prelude to suicide. But she believes Cady Housh’s teachers also could have done more in response to the girl’s warning signs, including her suddenly failing grades.

“I know that her teachers, at least most of them, cared about her,” Housh said Thursday. “But I don’t know why nobody stepped up and wanted to take her situation more serious than they did.”

Housh is supporting a bill pending in the Kansas Legislature that would require teachers to have two

hours of online suicide prevention training each year in an effort to spot warning signs and learn how best to intervene.

The bill, now before a Kansas Senate committee, would create a law similar to one already on the books in 16 states, most of them modeled after the Jason Flatt Act. Flatt was a 16-year-old Tennessee boy who killed himself in 1997. Pending Missouri legislation calls for the state’s school districts to adopt policies for youth suicide awareness and prevention

education. If passed, the Kansas and Missouri laws would take effect next year.

“This doesn’t make them a counselor or anything, but it helps them recognize the (warning) signs,” Kansas state Sen. Greg Smith, an Overland Park Republican, said of the measure he introduced at Housh’s request. “This, in my view, is codifying human decency.”

“When you can do something to save someone’s life and it costs nothing, it’s kind of a no-brainer,” said Smith,

a middle-school social studies teacher and former police officer whose daughter was abducted and killed in 2007.

Suicide is the thirdleading cause of death of people between the ages of 10 and 24 in the U.S., accounting for roughly 4,600 deaths each year, 80 percent of them males, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2 Wichita museums to open exhibits featuring guitars Travis Heying /The Wichita Eagle via AP

By Denise Neil The Wichita Eagle

Wichita (ap) — The piano is pretty. The drums demand attention.

But no other musical instrument is as versatile, as storied and as widely popular as the guitar — at least according to the legions who strum, pick and shred it.

“There is no music, no style of music, that the guitar is not used in,” said Wichita guitar expert Kevin Brown. “Show me the heavy-metal oboist or a country piccolo player.

They didn’t build a video game around a piano.

“It’s not that those instruments are bad.

They’re wonderful. But the guitar — you can literally do anything with it.”

The Wichita Eagle reports that the guitar and its many uses is the subject of two exhibits at two Wichita museums. Exploration Place will have a national traveling exhibit called “Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World.”

And the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum is opening “The Electric Guitar: Wichita’s Instrument,” an exhibit of valuable vintage guitars inspired by one-time Wichita bandleader Gage Brewer’s 1932 Ro-Pat-In Electro Spanish guitar, said to be the first modern electric guitar. That instrument, first strummed in a Wichita club on Halloween 1932, resides at the museum.

Both exhibits are scheduled to run through May 8, and both museums have scheduled months’ worth of guitar-related activities to accompany them.

Wichita is a good place for the dual exhibits, local guitar experts say, because Wichita is a particularly guitar-friendly town. In addition to claiming that historic electric guitar, Wichita is home to a long list of legendary players.

ERIC CALE, DIRECTOR OF THE WICHITA/ SEDGWICK COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM IN WICHITA, talks about one of the earliest electric guitars, on display at the museum on Jan. 21. The guitar was owned by musician Gage Brewer.

Some are still local. Some have made it big. Among the many names on that list are famous jazz guitarist Jerry Hahn; Jim Hill, the revered left-handed guitar player in Lotus; Randy Zellers, an accomplished player who teaches at Friends University; jazz guitarist Steve Poorman; and Robert White, a sought-after local guitar

teacher.

The list also includes Brown, whose reputation as a lead guitarist and teacher is matched only by his abilities as a guitar repairman, an occupation he perfected after a music store ruined his 1957 Gibson Gold Top Les Paul.

“It made me swear to my mom and my friends I’d never let anyone

touch my guitars again,” he said.

People love guitars, said Exploration Place’s director of marketing Christina Bluml, a fact proven to her as she has put together the museum’s guitar-related activities in conjunction with the exhibit — activities that include concerts, jam sessions, even a “Guitar Hero” competition.

The instrument has a universal appeal, and most people have had an experience with one, whether strumming it themselves or admiring the skills of others. Guitar players have long been among the country’s most revered musicians: from Elvis Presley to Eric Clapton to Eddie Van Halen. And every musical genre can claim its own guitar superstars, from jazz to rock to country to classical to folk.

Not to mention the instant sex appeal a guitar affords an on-stage performer. See: The Beatles.

“People can just relate to it,” Bluml said. “And they have all kinds of memories, whether it’s a song they liked or they were in a band. It’s just such a relatable instrument.”

Kevin Brown is 60, but when he first picked up a Please see GUITARS, page 4A

Budget, merging schools on tap

A

fter three relatively quiet weeks to start off the session, Kansas lawmakers will start getting down to serious business today with midyear budget cuts, school funding changes and a massive overhaul of the state’s juvenile justice system leading the agenda.

First up is Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan for closing the potential shortfall in the current fiscal year’s budget.

Much of that plan was announced in November when new revenue estimates were released showing the seriousness of the problem, but many of the elements require legislative approval.

Overall, the plan calls for $30 million in direct spending cuts from the state general fund, plus sweeping money out of other funds into the general fund in order to prevent the state from ending the year on June 30 with a negative balance.

But the size of the budget hole could change as early as Monday afternoon when the Department of Revenue releases its report on tax collections for the month of January. Analysts will be paying close attention to the sales tax figures because January’s report should reflect sales taxes that retailers collected and remitted to the state over the entire holiday shopping season.

After lawmakers raised the state sales tax rate to 6.5 percent last year, the question many are asking is whether that increase actually generated more revenue or simply drove consumers to shop in border states, or even online.

Guitars

LAWRENCE • STATE

L awrence J ournal -W orld

at sock hops, dances and proms.Through his adulthood, Brown played in a long list of bands.

Brown had to stop his repair work job because of back trouble. But he still plays the guitar every day, for at least an hour.

Eric Cale, director of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum, has made studying vintage guitars his pet project during his tenure at the museum.

His exhaustive research resulted in Wichita being able to make the claim that the Gage Brewer guitar, found locally at an estate sale, was used in the oldest documented performance of an electric guitar. The instrument is even listed in a book of 150 most important guitars ever made.

When Gage Brewer plugged in an electric

guitar at the Shadowland Ballroom in Wichita in October of 1932, it was the first time an electric guitar was played before an audience. Three of Brewer’s first electric guitars are part of an upcoming exhibit about the instrument at the Wichita/Sedgwick County Historical Museum.

Over the past several weeks, Cale has been traveling around the country collecting valuable vintage guitars for the museum’s exhibit, which will include about 50 instruments made from 1870 to 1950. He flew to Los Angeles to pick up a rare 1949 Bigsby guitar, one of only about 25 like it ever made, that was once owned by Ernest Tubb’s guitar player.

He then drove to Salt

Lake City to collect a Gibson model ES-150 once owned by jazz aficionado Charlie Christian, the guitarist for Benny Goodman’s orchestra, and a rare 1932 Rickenbacker frying pan guitar. The guitars are so rare and valuable, Cale had to agree to drive the 17 hours back to Wichita with the instruments because their owners don’t allow them on planes. He also had to agree not to stop anywhere overnight, and he does not touch them without gloves on.

Cale’s exhibit, just the latest on a list of guitar exhibits he’s put together over the years, will include 20 guitars borrowed from local collectors (including the one loaned by Walsh), plus a section of instruments produced from 1870

until 1932 and another with instruments made from 1933 to 1950. The exhibit will conclude with a three-day symposium May 6-8 featuring several of the world’s leading guitar scholars, including authors Walter Carter and Lynn Wheelwright.

Cale plays, too, though he insists it’s only on his couch behind closed doors. Guitars can go anywhere, he said, and that’s why they’re so popular.

“I think for a lot of people, it is an instrument that’s very expressive,” he said. “And it’s very accessible. It’s not expensive like a piano would be, and it’s very portable.”

Exploration Place’s exhibit includes more than 60 different guitars, from some of the earliest stringed instruments to

the guitars played today.

It examines the evolution of the guitar and the science of how they work, and it includes several interactive pieces.

“Wichita is such a great music town with so many amazing local bands and that rich history of the first electric guitar being used here,” Bluml said.

Awareness

Association, the state’s biggest teachers’ union, said “our teachers support anything that’s going to curb a tragedy like this for our kids.” But Marcus Baltzell questions whether the training Smith proposes will remain free or become a financial pressure on schools in the already cash-strapped state.

Allie Doss considers the training a potential tool that can’t hurt.

Last July, her 16-year-old daughter, a would-be junior in Shawnee Mission South High’s gifted program, took her life, never having displayed anything other than what her mother calls “normal teenage frustration.”

Doss, whose father also died by suicide in 1989, said she doesn’t blame the school, “but I wish they did more than just pep rallies” in dealing with troubled kids.

“Do I think two hours of training is going to be the magic number? No,” said Doss, 34 and now of Belton, Mo. “But having it mandated in Kansas brings awareness that this is an epidemic.”

During a recent Senate Education Committee hearing on Smith’s measure, several Kansas parents who lost sons and daughters to suicide pressed the case for the training. No opponents testified.

The Kansas Department of Education stood neutral, saying through general counsel Scott Gordon that the state’s Board of Education soon will take up a proposal for suicideprevention training for all school employees, not just licensed ones as called for under Smith’s measure.

Gordon asked the committee to allow the state’s governing education board “to fulfill its constitutionally-given obligation of determining what is best for Kansas schools.”

illness or those thought to be a flight risk would continue to be housed at the county jail, albeit in a new and larger “pod” designed to take advantage of the calming influences of fresh air and natural light.

It would be the purpose of the mental-health court to intercede in select cases to make determinations on who should be detained in the county jail and who should be eligible for alternate treatment options, such as the crisis intervention center.

Seemingly violent actions or other behaviors of individuals in crisis are often misinterpreted, Johnson said.

“They could be having a reaction to medication or any number of issues,” he said.

Kansas University social welfare professor Margaret Severson said at Monday’s town hall meeting she was among those working with Douglas County District Court Judge Sally Pokorny to establish the mental-health court.

Because of that safeguard, Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern said he did not yet know whether his office would place an officer in the crisis center.

The community is

beds for those clients in need of extended care is a difficult task, one that has only become harder with the federal government’s decision to cut off Medicare payments to Osawatomie State Hospital in December.

“The big problem is there are no beds available,” Johnson said. “The problem with Osawatomie is they have no room. Cushing Hospital in Leavenworth closed its 20-bed unit in 2014.

This last year, a (Shawnee) hospital decided it would no longer accept Medicaid patients. Hospitals won’t take the uninsured, or at least don’t want to, so it’s a great need.”

The crisis intervention center would provide at least 16 licensed beds where county residents could get extended care and recover to the point they could return home and take advantage of outpatient services, Johnson said. Some patients might reach that point after a stay of one to three nights while others may need as long as three weeks, he said.

Those overnight stays would not be the only void the center would fill. Mental-health emergencies don’t always occur on Bert Nash’s 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekday schedule, Johnson said. The crisis intervention center would provide a place for those seeking after-hours mental-health care.

The crisis intervention center “absolutely” would have to accommodate those in substance abuse crises, although

that was another program for which the details needed to be worked out, Johnson said.

Ties to jail expansion No financing mechanism has yet been proposed, and a price tag for the facility hasn’t yet been determined. It is probable the crisis intervention center will be part of a package that includes an expansion of the Douglas County Jail. County officials have provided a rough estimate of $30 million for the jail expansion.

At a town hall meeting Monday on the jail expansion, Douglas County commissioners restated their support for linking the two projects they see as county needs and responsibilities.

The County Commission has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Bert Nash to fund construction of the crisis intervention center on the site the agency has made available.

At the town hall meeting, county officials and stakeholders who have aided in the 16-month effort to address needs at the jail and enhanced treatment options for mentally ill residents spoke of the “threepronged approach to mental health” that has emerged from that effort.

Those prongs include the crisis intervention center, upgraded mental health facilities at an expanded county jail and a mentalhealth court.

Under the threepronged approach, violent inmates with mental

encouraged to help supply answers to the unanswered questions at the Feb. 9 and 10 charrettes.

Rowe said that from noon to 7 or 8 p.m. Feb. 9, community members would be invited to visit the Bert Nash center to share ideas for the crisis center.

Stations would be set up with materials allowing community members to draw concepts they have in mind, find examples on available computers to recommend and/or explain ideas in writing, he said. That process would continue through the morning of Feb. 10.

At a noon luncheon Feb. 10, all interested parties will be invited to a discussion that would look to find trends and consensus from the ideas shared, Rowe said.

“It’s simply a way to gather the community together to understand the concerns and involve them in the architecture,” he said. “If you have a big concern, you should express it.

There are a lot of people out there with really great ideas.”

Ground rules can keep house sitters in check Dear Annie: I was going out of town on business for a week, and a couple I know jumped at the chance to house sit. I offered to let them stay at my place in exchange for taking care of my cat. I asked in advance what staples they would want, so they wouldn’t have to shop immediately after their arrival. I was happy to provide these items. I even bought extra treats.

When I returned a week later, my kitchen pantry was bare, my fridge was totally cleaned out and there was no toilet paper, shampoo, moisturizer or laundry detergent.

I don’t know how they could have used so much in seven days.

I live alone and know what I keep on hand, and it is a little annoying to run out of things

in the middle of cooking or taking a shower.

What am I expected to provide? Should they replace items they use up? When an item is ruined and no mention of it is made, should I say something? Is it acceptable to ask the sitters to leave a list of the items they used? Would it have made a difference if they house sat for a longer period of time?

— Just Wondering.

Dear Wondering:

A chain of film classics on TCM Movie buffs, rejoice. TCM devotes the month of February to Academy Award-winning or nominated films, beginning today with the 1958 Technicolor romance “Gigi” (5 a.m.).

In the spirit of “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” every film broadcast this month will be linked to the next movie by an actor or actress who has a role in both.

So, after this evening’s airing of the 1962 epic “Lawrence of Arabia” (9 p.m.) comes the 1957 W o r l d War II drama “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (1 a.m.), because both classic films feature performances by Alec Guinness. And you thought he only starred in “Star Wars.” l The series “The Age of Aerospace” (7 p.m., Science, TV-PG) premieres with a look at aviation pioneers Bill Boeing, Donald Douglas, James McDonnell and their contemporaries, men who transformed flying from a novelty into an industry, instrumental in transporting people and goods as well as waging war. l Also launching today, “The Great Human Race” (9 p.m., National Geographic, TV-PG) combines elements of a reality show with a history lesson. Archaeologist Bill Schindler joins adventurer Cat Bigney to “reenact” the lives, travels and migrations of early humans. They journey from the heart of Africa through the Middle East, Siberia and Alaska, before arriving in what is now the continental United States.

To say they endure primitive conditions is a bit of an understatement. But rest assured, their tools and technology evolve as they continue on their way to becoming full-fledged Homo sapiens, the most dominant and intelligent creature on Earth. Funny, I’m not entirely sure that all the cast members of “Jersey Shore” quite made that transition. l Streaming on Netflix beginning today: season one of “Better Call Saul,” starring Bob Odenkirk. The “Breaking Bad” prequel/spin-off begins its second season AMC on Feb. 15.

Tonight’s other highlights

l An evil mirror image sets

out to destroy Kara on “Supergirl” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l Some say a demon stalks the woods on “The X-Files” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l A return to summer camp on “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (7 p.m., CW, TV-14). l “Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings) sets up shop in Little Rock, Ark. l Maddie’s sobriety is tested when she runs into her old crowd on “Recovery Road” (8 p.m., Freeform, TV-14). l Alice wants to understand her brother’s disappearing act on “The Magicians” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV-14).

Although there is no hard-and-fast rule, it makes sense to put certain things in writing.

Create a folder with the important information, including how to reach you, a contact number for a neighbor or friend in case of emergency and details about how to take care of pets and plants.

Then print up a basic agreement stating whether or not they can bring people into your home; what items you do not want them to touch (including things like moisturizer, etc.); which rooms are off-limits; where to put the trash and recycling; whether or not they can use your car; how to access the laundry machines and any other specific instructions, including replacing used-up necessities if you so choose, and

Tahrir Square revolution isn’t over

EDITORIALS

Parking details Lawrence city commissioners were right last week to put off any action until details for parking at a major new apartment complex have been fully examined and perhaps revised.

S

everal hours of discussion at last week’s Lawrence City Commission meeting raised at least as many questions as it answered about parking arrangements for a huge apartment development east of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium.

Faced with the bankruptcy filing of the contractor that was going to install an innovative robotic parking system in its 624-bedroom complex, HERE @ Kansas is scrambling to come up with alternative parking provisions. Jim Heffernan, a principal in HERE Enterprises, continued to focus on the “green” aspects of the project — its bicycle storage, its proximity to campus and bus service, its grocery delivery service — all of which the company contends will reduce the number of tenants who want to bring cars and park them at the complex. By contrast, commissioners understandably were more concerned about the complex providing parking that was both adequate and convenient enough to keep tenants from simply choosing to park on streets in the Oread Neighborhood.

Avoiding further parking congestion in that area was a primary concern when this project was approved. It is no less a concern now, and information shared at last week’s meeting does little to allay that concern.

First, commissioners appeared to be hearing for the first time that parking access wouldn’t be included in leases at the building and would require a separate lease and fee, which certainly raises the possibility that tenants would choose to skip the added expense and park elsewhere.

Another reason they might make that choice is the valet parking system that would squeeze their vehicles into spaces that are a foot narrower than what is required in city code — the width approved for the robotic system that doesn’t require a driver to enter and exit the vehicle. Heffernan said the valet system would be run by a private contractor that would assume liability for the cars.

The other parking option would be a separate garage proposed for property just south of the complex. Several local residents pointed out last week that assuming that garage will be part of the solution to HERE’s parking problems would be premature since those plans still have to go through a city review process that could take a couple of months.

Heffernan appeared to grow frustrated as commissioners asked questions about specific parking scenarios that the developer obviously hadn’t thought through. Instead of answering those questions he repeatedly chose to tout the innovated aspects of the project that his firm has “substantially delivered.”

Except for that pesky parking issue.

The last City Commission, which approved this project along with sizeable tax incentives, may have been impressed by what one community member on Tuesday called the “shiny object” that this project represented, but current city officials now have to deal with the details. Commissioners wisely put off a decision on the project Tuesday to give city staff an opportunity to examine more closely the developer’s parking plans. Questions also were raised about the developer’s apparent shift toward filling the commercial space in the complex mostly with restaurants instead of retail, as was proposed.

HERE’s vision of a complex populated by people who embrace an “urban lifestyle” that eliminates their need for cars and parking may become a reality, but that’s a sizable gamble for Lawrence, Kan. Commissioners must make sure that if HERE’s vision isn’t realized, the Oread Neighborhood doesn’t come out the big loser.

Jan. 25 marked the fifth anniversary of the Tahrir Square revolt — an uprising organized by young Facebooksavvy Egyptians that came to symbolize the Arab Spring.

At the time, I spent days in and around the square interviewing the revolt’s youthful leaders as well as ordinary Cairenes. Those conversations were inspiring, as housewives, cabbies, laborers, office workers and students debated how to transform an authoritarian regime into some form of democracy.

We know how those hopes crumbled. Many of the revolt’s organizers are languishing in prison or have fled abroad. In the runup to the fifth anniversary, thousands of police patrolled downtown Cairo, civil society activists were rounded up and blogs were shut down. Tahrir Square was bare of demonstrators, except for a few supporters of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.

“We are now living under a more brutal regime than that of Hosni Mubarak,” says Shady el-Ghazaly Harb, a young, attractive doctor who was one of the uprising’s leaders. “The number of young people detained is enormous, in the thousands, and the crackdown is unbelievable. We never faced something like this, even in Mubarak’s time, or in our parents’ time under (Gamal Abdel) Nasser.”

Caught in the middle So what went wrong?

I put that question to Harb, with whom I had spent hours talking in 2011.

Why had their youthful revolt failed so badly, and what did it tell us about the future prospects for Egypt?

Only a more open system can galvanize the youthful energy that went into the Tahrir Square revolt and permit peaceful political parties to organize and develop.”

“We were caught in the middle between the Muslim Brotherhood and the institutions of the state (including the Egyptian army),” he told me by phone from Cairo.

“We were always the weakest because we didn’t have an intact organization and we didn’t have time to form one. Both of them had the tools to use against us, and we couldn’t do much.”

For those who don’t know Egypt, let me elaborate. Most of the Tahrir Square organizers came from the educated middle class and represented a relatively small slice of Egyptian society. But their message — demanding that an autocratic regime give way to a less corrupt government that listens to the public — resonated with a wide swathe of Egyptians. It definitely appealed to young people; more than twothirds of Egyptians are under 35, and their unemployment rate keeps climbing up.

But while they excelled at turning out crowds, the revolt’s leaders had no

Lessons learned I asked Harb whether the failure of the revolt indicated that democracy was an impossible dream for Egypt.

On the contrary, he said, “The lesson of the past five years is that the only way for us to survive is to build a democratic, secular state.”

His reasoning: Egyptians have had it with autocracy and theocracy.

The tumultuous year of Muslim Brotherhood rule disillusioned the Egyptian public with government by Islamists. “The Egyptian people won’t accept them,” he insists. Meantime, the

Democracy the answer Autocracy has failed, repeatedly, to meet Egyptians’ needs. The el-Sissi government’s economic performance has been dismal. It justifies its crackdown to the public by pointing to a growing Islamic State threat. But Egyptian youths have nothing to do with that threat. (Nor did it emerge from the Brotherhood.)

Only a more open system can galvanize the youthful energy that went into the Tahrir Square revolt and permit peaceful political parties to organize and develop. Only a more open system will enable Egypt’s economy to grow.

“The only way out is democracy,” Harb insists. But unless el-Sissi creates the space for peaceful political activism, that energy will falter or go underground. “If the government puts an end to peaceful protests,” he adds, “I can see the country going into chaos. If we, the sane, rational opposition, are not in the picture, then the irrational opposition, calling for violence, will prevail.”

In other words, the Tahrir Square revolution isn’t over.

We just don’t know yet how it will end.

Medicaid expansion deserves discussion YOUR TURN

By Sandy Praeger

Democracy has been called the “marketplace of ideas,” and, for more than 150 years, the men and women in the Kansas Legislature have served as the brokers of ideas for improving life in our state.

In recent years, though, one policy idea to improve the lives of Kansans has been suppressed along with the voices of legislators who dared to support it.

Expanding our state’s Medicaid pro- Praeger gram would extend health coverage to 150,000 Kansans, inject hundreds of millions of dollars into our state economy, create jobs and help our hospitals — and the federal government would pay nearly all of the cost. It is little wonder that two in three

return of an autocratic, military regime is too deja vu.

“They are out of context, out of history; the younger generation won’t tolerate it.”

That argument has some holes. True, an Islamist government failed, but any future Egyptian democracy won’t be able to exclude Islamist parties that play by legal rules in a country with a strong religious base.

Yet Harb is correct in the long term.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 1, 1916: years “According to the ago best information IN 1916 available today, President Wilson’s train will reach Lawrence at 9:10 tomorrow morning. A stop of ten minutes will be made in Lawrence. ...The Haskell Indian band will be at the station to welcome President Wilson and his party with music.”

experience in organizing political parties or mobilizing voters. Back in those heady days, I met Harb at Groppi’s, a faded Belle Epoque teahouse that became the dissidents’ meeting spot; he complained that liberals had to unite in one party and find one leader to gather around. Instead they split, backing several parties, which ensured that the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, Mohamed Morsi, won the presidency in 2012.

The Brotherhood overreached, seeking to control too many levers of power while governing badly. That unnerved many youthful leaders (and other sectors of the public). This enabled the army to rally them behind a coup against Morsi, and a massive, brutal crackdown on the Brotherhood. A weary public, and a low turnout, ensured that el-Sissi, a former general, won a presidential ballot; once in power, he felt free to crush the young democrats who made the 2011 revolt, lest one day they should challenge him.

Kansans support this policy idea.

However, our governor and legislative leadership continue to simply say “no” to Medicaid expansion.

The arguments we hear today against Medicaid expansion are not new. In 1998, Republican Bill Graves was governor and I was chair of the Senate Health Committee. States had a similar opportunity from the federal government to expand health coverage for Kansans under the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Like today, opponents said we should not expand an already burdensome program. However, unlike today, the opportunity was not simply refused, but discussed openly.

Legislators across the political spectrum agreed that Kansas’ current Medicaid program was not perfect, and that the favorable federal funding gave us an opportunity to improve it, while

also extending coverage to many more Kansas children. So we began by setting goals that we could all agree upon, and worked together to improve our state’s program. What resulted was a policy that enjoyed broad-based support and passed easily.

Today, we could be looking at Medicaid expansion in the same way. Expansion waivers are intended to encourage innovation and let states tailor programs to specific needs. This is an opportunity for Kansas to accomplish agreed upon goals, like connecting more people to work, reducing the costs of uninsured Kansans, and addressing flaws in our current health coverage program.

We have done this before. Kansas has consistently taken advantage of new federal funding to improve our state’s own programs. Why should the opportunity to expand KanCare be any different?

For months, we’ve heard from pundits and pollsters, candidates and consultants. Finally, in school gymnasiums and church basements across Iowa on Monday night, we’ll hear from voters.

That is, from several hundred thousand of them in the state that for decades has hosted the first contest of the presidential campaign. Speculation and spin will be replaced, at least briefly, by the reality check of ballots.

At least 50 people were killed Sunday in a triple suicide bombing near the Syrian capital of Damascus as a United Nations special envoy launched indirect peace talks to end the country’s civil war.

The bombing, which the Islamic State claimed it orchestrated, underscored the difficulty of finding a political solution to the war nearing its fifth anniversary.

Attackers detonated a car bomb at a bus stop, and two suicide bombers set off more explosives as rescuers rushed to the area, according to Syria’s state news agency SANA. The blasts went off in the Damascus suburb of Sayyda Zeinab, about 600 yards from one of the holiest

group, which controls large areas in Syria and Iraq.

The U.N.-hosted peace talks in Geneva got off to a rocky start Friday when Staffan de Mistura, a U.N. special envoy for the Syria crisis, met only with a Syrian government delegation amid disagreement over which rebel groups should be allowed to negotiate. Opposition leaders reshrines for Shiite Muslims.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry fused to take part unless a siege of said more than 100 people were rebel-held areas was lifted, and wounded in addition to the 50 Russian and Syrian bombardkilled. State TV footage showed ment of fighters stopped.

Park service deconstructs Reconstruction Period was pivotal but ill-understood Greg Toppo @gtoppo USA TODAY

If popular culture helps Americans understand history, there’s good news and bad news for the period known as Reconstruction.

The good news: The era’s story is told in two of the biggest blockbuster movies of the 20th century.

The bad news: Those movies are Gone With the Wind and The Birth of a Nation.

The former, of course, is the epic 1939 tale of Scarlett O’Hara, the headstrong Southern belle who happened to own slaves. The latter? Well, promotional posters for D.W. Griffith’s “mighty spectacle,” released in 1915, showed a hooded, horseback-riding member of the Ku Klux Klan with a

No wonder, then, that the era is badly misunderstood.

Now, 150 years later, historians and preservationists fight to tell a more accurate, nuanced story, uncovering key places from the grim struggle to rebuild the USA after the Civil War broke it apart.

This spring, the National Park Service will unveil its list of proposed sites to commemorate Reconstruction, which has not a single site devoted to it.

In the process, the park service and others hope to help Americans understand that the oftenderided period actually gave us important rights and privileges.

“It used to be that Reconstruction was overlaid with a whole series of myths — often very racist myths — about political corruption and misgovernment and ‘black incapacity,’ ” says Columbia University historian Eric Fonv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Sanders announced his January totals as presidential campaigns and the super PACs supporting them released reports on how much they raised and spent at the end of 2015.

Sanders routinely rails against the role of deep-pocketed donors in U.S. elections, and in a news release Sunday, his campaign aides

touted his refusal to “coordinate with a super PAC which Clinton and other candidates have used to take unlimited contributions from millionaires and billionaires.”

Historians out to reveal, not revise v CONTINUED FROM 1B

er, one of the pre-eminent scholars on the era.

For more than a generation, he and other historians have dug through documents that prompted them to look at Reconstruction in a new light — one that’s barely infiltrating most Americans’ understanding.

In the traditional interpretation of Reconstruction — the one many of us learned in school, if we learned about the period at all — it was “a travesty of democracy,” as one historian put it, a misbegotten experiment in “Negro rule.”

Foner, by contrast, has called it “a massive experiment in interracial democracy without precedent in the history of this or any other country that abolished slavery in the 19th century.”

He and others largely view Reconstruction as a dynamic, if violent, time that pushed Americans to confront poverty, racism, terrorism and white supremacy, among other ills. It gave birth a century later to the civil rights movement and shaped some of our most important laws and institutions. It produced the first public schools in the South, and within six years, it gave rise to the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, defined U.S. citizenship and gave African Americans the right to vote.

If you think you can dismiss the issues this era tackled — citizenship, voting rights, states’ rights, federal overreach, white supremacy and terrorism, for starters — listen to talk radio for five minutes. Or recall the recent debate over same-sex marriage.

Or pick nearly any statement by the 2016 Republican presidential candidates — or by the occupiers of a national wildlife preserve in Oregon.

The issues still drive many of our most vital public debates.

“You do need to understand Reconstruction if you want to know about the present,” says Foner, author of Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877. “Every session of the Supreme Court is adjudicating issues coming out of the 14th Amendment.”

As for terrorism, the Ku Klux Klan, organized by white Southerners in 1867, “was American alQaeda,” he says. “The Klan and groups like that probably killed more people in Reconstruction

Affirmative action? Read the veto messages of President Andrew Johnson, who tried to block Reconstruction after taking over for the assassinated Abraham Lincoln, and you might mistake them for words written 150 years later by Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia. “Parts of them sound very, very up to date,” Foner says, noting that Johnson promoted “the idea that assisting blacks somehow is reverse discrimination, that assisting blacks takes something away from whites, that whites should be aggrieved be-

cause other groups are getting more rights.”

Many historians say Reconstruction started well before the end of the Civil War — as early as 1861 — and ended around the turn of the 20th century. Why 1861? That’s when Union troops, after the Battle of Port Royal, first occupied large swaths of land in South Carolina that had been abandoned by white owners. The owners simply left their slaves behind, and the victory presented U.S. troops with a dilemma: what to do with newly freed slaves?

By war’s end, four years later, upward of 4 million slaves would be freed.

The key to understanding the era, historians say, is looking at it through the eyes of those 4 million. “We have to imagine it from the viewpoint of people who have to make themselves free with very few tools,” historian Edward Ayers says.

“The American Civil War ended the largest and most powerful system of slavery in the modern world in just four years, a system that had centuries behind it,” Ayers says. “On the one hand, that’s a remarkable accomplishment. But I think a lot of white Americans at the time said, ‘That’s enough of an accomplishment for one generation. We’ll let the consequences of that play out very slowly.’ ” Ayers, a professor of history at the University of Richmond in Virginia, says it’s helpful to think about the way in which Americans in the 20th century came to feel common cause with the heroine of Gone With the Wind, even in the face of greater suffering by those around her.

“We sympathize with Scarlett having to make a dress out of curtains,” he says, “rather than sympathizing with people who have to make freedom out of nothing but the shirts on their backs.

We’ve just gotten off on the wrong foot.”

In a bid to help Americans make sense of the period, the National Park Service commis-

sioned a wide-ranging study last year to identify key places in the story of Reconstruction, an era almost absent from the record of important places, historians say.

“You’re not revising history — you’re actually revealing the proper history, because the story hasn’t been told,” says Billy Jenkinson, a Kingstree, S.C., attorney and chairman of the African American Historical Alliance, based in South Carolina. “There’s a wellspring of unexplored history that needs to be developed.”

The park service has hired two historians to lead the effort. One of them, Northwestern University history professor Kate Masur, has compared the era to the Vietnam War, “a period that is complicated in our national memory.”

Masur, co-editor with historian Gregory Downs of the book The World the Civil War Made, says Reconstruction was “a period that was dynamic, that was democratic — and at the same time a period of extraordinary racial conflict and violence,” mostly by whites against freed slaves, their families and advocates.

She says preserving the social history of Reconstruction — the history of “everyday people,” the poor and powerless — can be tricky.

For one thing, their homes weren’t built of brick or stone, as were those of the wealthy. These buildings have been torn down and long forgotten. But preservationists can focus on edifices that still stand, including black churches, schools, Freedmen’s Bureau offices and county courthouses, “the seat of lots of conflict” in the era, Masur says.

She says the park service solicited information about sites where Reconstruction could be interpreted and received hundreds of suggestions.

In a way, Masur says, the effort — like that of Reconstruction itself — seeks to shift the balance of power. Only this time it’s around the stories we tell.

She recalls a research trip she took to Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss., where she toured several sites with local historians.

As she toured neighborhoods with people who had deep knowledge of what happened there, one thing became clear: “The history that’s presented to people, that they can interact with, is the product of power,” she says. “It’s about who had the resources to tell the story and what story they chose to tell.”

leader Hillary Clinton finished a humiliating third in the 2008 caucuses, for instance, or when front-runner Ronald Reagan trailed upstart George H.W. Bush in 1980. (Reagan managed to recover and win the nomination; Clinton didn’t.)

And there will be consequences, setting the stage for a dash to New Hampshire by what is likely to be a winnowed field. In the crowded Republican race, candidates who finish at the back of the pack will find it increasingly hard to raise money and command attention.

Some fundamental questions that will get answered begin with the campaign’s most explosive rising star.

1. IS TRUMP FOR REAL?

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has drawn enormous and enthusiastic crowds in Iowa. “I mean, he had 1,700 people in Ottumwa,” Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad told USA TODAY’s Capital Download with amazement.

“There aren’t that many Republicans in Ottumwa.”

Many who cheer Trump’s bluster and buy his “Make America Great Again” baseball caps haven’t participated in the caucuses before. Some haven’t even thought of themselves as Republicans. Will they show up at the designated time and place, register in the GOP and vote?

Brad Meling says he will. “I like the way he speaks his mind,” the 45-year-old construction supervisor said in an interview at a Trump rally in Marshalltown.

“That might be what we need.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has built the GOP’s most extensive grassroots organization here. It has more than 12,000 volunteers in the state and captains designated in 1,530 of the state’s 1,682 precincts. That sort of operation could provide a safety net if, say, a snowstorm hits Monday that dis-

courages some Iowans from heading outdoors.

If Meling and other first-time caucusgoers energized by Trump do turn out, he could triumph. In The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll released Saturday, Trump led Cruz by 5 percentage points, 28% to 23%; Marco Rubio was the only other contender in double digits, at 15%. He boasts a much wider lead in New Hampshire, which will hold the first-in-the-nation primary next week.

If Trump wins the nomination, he will have done that by expanding and even redefining the Republican Party with an influx of supporters who tend to be less educated, financially squeezed, not particularly engaged in politics before and deeply dissatisfied with the direction of the country.

They are overwhelmingly white and predominantly male.

Hillary Clinton is joined by her husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, during a campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. competence rather than ideology, or Bill Clinton in 1992, who pitched himself as “a new kind of Democrat,” defying party orthodoxy on issues including the death penalty. Even Barack Obama in 2008 was less liberal than such rivals as John Edwards.

This year, Vermont Sen. Sanders is so far left that he doesn’t claim the Democratic Party as his own, instead describing himself as a Democratic socialist. He has mounted a strong challenge to former secretary of State Clinton with a platform that advocates a single-payer health care system, free college for all and higher taxes to pay for social services. “The Revolution Starts Here,” his placards promise.

With that, the oldest candidate in the field (he’s 74) has drawn his strongest support from the youngest voters.

In response, Clinton has moved left on some issues, putting more emphasis on the issue of income inequality and announcing her opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline and the Pacific trade deal.

Sanders argues his rise “reflects a fundamental shift in the American people.” In the year of Iowa Polls, he started at just 5%

but has climbed steadily to a new high of 42% in the final one. Clinton started at 56% and after some ups-and-downs is at 45%.

Clinton leads among Democrats who have attended the caucuses before; Sanders leads among those who haven’t.

Like Trump on the Republican side, Sanders depends on turning out new voters. And like Trump, if he succeeds, Sanders could begin to redefine his party — in his case with a younger and more liberal cast.

Even in heartland Iowa, 68% of Democrats agree “it would be OK” to have a president who is a Democratic socialist; 25% disagree.

3. ARE DYNASTIES DEAD?

Having a famous last name has its benefits. A candidate starts out with built-in name ID and an established fundraising network.

But this year, the heirs to powerful political dynasties have found that status to be a doubleedged sword.

Hillary Clinton has had to address past indiscretions by her husband, Bill. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has struggled to respond to questions about the decision by brother George W.

Bush to launch the Iraq War. At last Thursday’s GOP debate in Des Moines, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was asked why he hadn’t done more to embrace his father, former Texas congressman Ron Paul, a three-time presidential hopeful with a fervent libertarian following.

George W. Bush won the Iowa caucuses by double digits in 2000. Jeb Bush has the support of a negligible 2%, putting him in a embarrassing five-way tie for seventh place with Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. Bush’s familytested fundraising muscle — he has spent the most money of anyone — seems to have had little effect.

4. WILL IOWA PICK A PRESIDENT?

New Hampshire pols sometimes dismiss the Iowa caucuses as no more than a warm-up for the Granite State primary that follows.

“The people of Iowa pick corn,” then-governor John Sununu declared in 1988 when his candidate, George H.W. Bush, arrived in the state after losing to Bob Dole in Iowa. “The people of New Hampshire pick presidents.”

Some Iowa Republicans are sensitive on that point. In the six contested Iowa Republican caucuses held since 1980, just two winners have gone on to win the nomination, and only one, George W. Bush, actually claimed the White House.

Iowa Democrats have a better track record. In their six contested caucuses since 1980, only one winner failed to ultimately win the party’s nomination. Two of them, Jimmy Carter and Obama, won the White House.

Trump has taunted crowds at his rallies not to repeat that history. “You haven’t had a winner in 16 years,” he told a crowd in Dubuque on Saturday. That is a string they could break, he tells them, by voting for him.

many nights in squalid conditions and constant fear.

But Cuevas is Cuban, which means a happy ending for his trip, unlike most others trying to cross the border. U.S. law allows any Cuban who reaches U.S. soil to apply for political asylum to stay.

He is one of thousands of Cubans whose quest to reach the USA by land became the focus of intense international negotiations among Central American countries and reignited a U.S. debate over the special treatment Cubans receive under federal immigration laws.

Cuevas, a medical technologist from Havana, said he couldn’t describe the joy he felt when he stepped onto U.S. soil in Laredo, Texas, on Jan. 14. The journey left him physically beaten and mentally scarred, partly because of all the others he saw along the way whose treks wouldn’t end so triumphantly.

Randy Cuevas, right, stopped in Mexico City with other Cuban migrants Jan. 13 during their long trek to the USA.

“You’re left conflicted,” said Cuevas, 30, living with friends in North Carolina. “I met Colombians, Arabs, Haitians, all kinds of people doing the same thing. Yet the Cuban passes. It hurt me seeing how depressed they’d get when we would leave. But it’s not the Cubans’ fault. That’s the law.”

Cubans fed up with their communist government and crippled economy historically have tried to reach the USA by sea, braving 90 miles of shark-infested waters in rafts, inner tubes and makeshift boats. Recently, many have taken advantage of their ability to fly to Ecuador without a visa to begin the more than 2,000-milelong overland journey.

In 2014, 17,470 Cubans presented themselves at U.S. land ports along the Mexican border, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In 2015, that number nearly doubled to 30,966. Customs “is prepared to process the expected increase in Cubans applying for admission at south Texas ports of entry,” agency spokeswoman Jenny Burke said.

Many of those journeys came to a halt in November, when Nicaraguan officials prevented Cuban migrants from passing through their country. That forced neighboring Costa Rica to house and feed the growing number of Cubans stranded there.

At one point, the Costa Rican government estimated that up to 8,000 Cubans were living in schools, gymnasiums and other makeshift shelters built along the

border. The crisis has gone on for so long that the government announced last week that it will start moving the Cubans to other facilities to clear the schools for elections and the school year set to start this month.

Costa Rica started negotiating with countries farther north — including Belize, Honduras and Mexico — to see if they would accept the Cubans. Finally, Guatemala agreed to help, and on Jan. 12, the first flight of 180 Cubans took off. From that point, the Cubans could continue their journey north.

That provided hope to thousands of Cubans still in Costa Rica. The next scheduled flight departs Wednesday, and more will follow. Even so, many have decided they couldn’t wait any longer and tried to cross through Nicaragua on foot despite horror stories they’ve heard about that journey.

“People get desperate. They don’t know who to trust anymore,” Jaime Aguilera Sierra, one of the Cubans still stuck in Costa Rica, said by phone. “They’re leaving like that every day, but I’m waiting for the flight. It doesn’t hurt me to wait another month if I have to because our lives are most important.”

Some Cuban-American lawmakers say it’s time to change the law that gives Cubans privileged status. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., filed bills that would limit legal entry to those who were subjected to political persecution.

IN BRIEF WORLD HEALTH GROUP TO MEET ON ZIKA VIRUS

The World Health Organization will hold an emergency meeting Monday to find ways to curb the Zika virus, which is linked to birth defects and “spreading explosively” throughout the Americas.

The WHO could classify the Zika outbreak as a “public health emergency of international concern,” which would require a coordinated global response.

Another purpose of Monday’s meeting is to make sure nations don’t take inappropriate steps to limit travel or trade because of the virus, said Bruce Aylward, assistant director-general of the WHO. During the Ebola outbreak, many countries closed their borders, which harmed the fragile economies of West Africa.

The Zika virus is spread through mosquitoes. It does not spread directly from person to person. Four out of five people with the Zika virus have no symptoms, according to the WHO. Those who do develop symptoms typically have mild effects, such as a low fever, rash, joint pain, pinkeye and headaches.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS SILICON VALLEY GOES FOR GUSTO LIFE IN ‘A NEW ERA FOR SUPER BOWLS’ AUTOS TRAVEL

5B

Nearly half of the event’s sponsors are tech companies Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Silicon Valley is welcoming Super Bowl 50 with open arms, extra Wi-Fi, some serious hospitality and plenty of gadgetry.

Expect eyefuls of virtual reality, branding, ride-hailing and familiar tech personalities in the ramp-up to Sunday’s title game.

“This will be the most technologically advanced Super Bowl ever,” says Keith Bruce, CEO of the Super Bowl Host Committee, the liaison between the NFL and the local community. “It will usher in a new era for Super Bowls in how technology is used to enhance the fans’ experience.”

Nearly half of the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee’s 18 primary sponsors — Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel, Intuit, SAP, Seagate, Yahoo and Verizon — are tech companies. Its advisory group includes Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, SAP Chief Technology Officer Quentin Clark, Alphabet Senior Vice President David Drummond, Seagate CEO Stephen Luczo and Bruce Sewell, Apple’s general counsel.

From Super Bowl City, a free fan village near San Francisco’s downtown waterfront, to NFL Experience, an interactive theme park at Moscone Center, fans, the NFL and — possibly — future Olympics organizers will see how a sports championship can use technology to boost the ‘wow’ experience for big-ticket events.

The game’s venue, Levi’s Stadium, home of the tech-influenced San Francisco 49ers, is the league’s most technologically advanced, according to NFL spokesman Alex Riethmiller.

An app designed for the stadium by start-up VenueNext, which leverages Oracle’s point-of-sales technology for mobile ordering, will let fans order food, drink and merchandise from their seats.

handles everything from parking to in-seat food delivery and instant replays at Levi’s. For the Super Bowl, it has added a celebrity cam, Super Bowl commercials and express pickup of merchandise.

“Never before has tech had such an impact on a Super Bowl,” says John Paul, CEO of VenueNext.

Virtual reality will be on dizzying display at Super Bowl City and the NFL Experience, beginning Jan. 30 at 11 a.m. Among the highlights: SAP’s Quarterback Challenge, which puts partici-

pants in the cleats of a QB facing a fierce pass rush.

Mini-drones will occupy air space at Intel’s Drone Zone at Super Bowl City within an enclosed area with netting. Fans can learn to fly 5-inch drones around and about field-goal posts, says Laurie Koehler, Intel’s experience brand manager.

Autodesk is 3-D printing Super Bowl rings for the bling crowd.

Transportation, always a Herculean task at major sporting events, will get a new wrinkle.

Bruce, a veteran organizer and planner at 14 Super Bowls, six of the last seven Olympics and four World Cups, is taking a “multimode” approach to getting people into and out of Levi’s.

Some 5,000 people throughout the Bay Area will be transported to the game via the same fleet of buses that take Google-parent Alphabet employees from San Francisco to corporate headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.

Uber has teamed with the host committee to deliver riders to a priority parking zone that is a 12minute walk from the 70,000seat stadium. If the arrangement works, it could be a future model for mass transit at Summer and Winter Olympics, as well as World Cups, Bruce says.

And no one will be stranded with an empty tank. Start-up company Filld, which delivers gas via a smartphone app, is the official gas-filler of Super Bowl-affiliated vehicles and vendors.

For all the committee’s expert orchestration, disruption — a buzzword in tech circles — could get as much attention as the hightech glitz. Groups advocating over a range of social issues are likely to stage protests or attempt shutdowns, encouraged in part by an African-American rights group’s protest on the Bay Bridge.

Deal to curb oil production is unlikely There’s too much strife between OPEC nations, analysts say Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Conflicting reports last week that renewed anticipation of global oil production cuts, then quickly squelched it, left in doubt the prospects of crude prices that have plunged 70% the past 18 months and rocked the global economy.

News that OPEC and Russia could meet in February to trim output pushed up West Texas Intermediate 8% until reports shot down the possibility, causing crude to give back much of the advance.

Still, speculation of a deal left the U.S. benchmark up 4% the past two trading days at $33.62 a barrel, capping its second straight weekly gain.

So is a global oil agreement feasible?

Don’t bank on it.

“It is a lot of noise,” says Eric Lee, oil analyst at Citigroup.

“From my perspective, I think it’s not very likely.”

Lee and other analysts say there’s too much bad blood among Saudi Arabia, Russia and other OPEC nations for a deal to be forged and not nearly enough financial benefit.

With a slim-to-none chance of a pact to curb oil production, crude’s price is poised to hover near current levels or fall further before last year’s modest output cuts by U.S. and other producers have a bigger impact in the second half of 2016, analysts say. Lee expects oil prices to climb above

Worldwide oil supplies exceed demand by about 1.5 million barrels a day, prompting lower prices at the pump. Crude prices have plunged 70% in the past 18 months. $50 a barrel by late 2016.

That should leave gasoline below $2 a gallon until the U.S. summer driving season nudges it to about $2.40, says Tom Kloza, chief global analyst of the Oil Price Information Service.

Crude’s plunge handed consumers a $100 billion windfall at the pump last year but hammered business investment, oil company profits and stocks.

Economists are starting to wonder if it’s a net benefit or drag for the economy.

The price skid was set off by weak global demand and record production, fueled largely by massive U.S. shale output. Worldwide oil supplies exceed demand by about 1.5 million barrels a day.

Despite Saudi Arabia’s historic role as swing producer, it adamantly maintained output levels as oil prices sagged in summer 2014.

The Saudis, analysts say, are weary of fellow OPEC members violating production-cut deals to hold market share and are deter-

mined to let prices tumble to drive higher-cost U.S. producers out of business.

But oil’s recent slide below $30 intensified the pain for OPEC countries and Russia, which depend on oil revenue to finance their budgets, says Oppenheimer analyst Fadel Gheit.

Russian news agency TASS reported Thursday the likelihood of a February meeting between OPEC and Russia was “very high.” But OPEC delegates told Bloomberg there were no plans to meet.

Last year, Saudi Arabia proposed that global producers agree to slice output 5%, a move that Gheit says would boost prices 50% to 100%. Gheit says crude’s recent plunge below $30 a barrel intensified the pain for oil-producing countries that depend on oil revenue to finance their budgets and could yield a February meeting. But he doubts it would be fruitful.

“I don’t think that Saudi Arabia trusts Russia to hold to any agreement,” Lee says. “It never has.”

There are other obstacles. Russia would face challenges shutting old wells and starting them again, Kloza says.

Iran is eager to take advantage of an agreement with the U.S. that lifts its sanctions against the country, allowing it to increase output by an additional 300,000 barrels a day. Iraq is itching to boost production after scaling back amid recent wars.

And although falling crude prices have left a big hole in Saudi Arabia’s budget, it has about $600 billion in reserves and can afford to be patient, Gheit says.

“Why should the Saudis stop now if (their strategy) is starting to really work?” he says.

TRAVEL

5 MYTHS ABOUT AIRLINE FOOD When pilot, ASK THE CAPTAIN

co-pilot use conflicting controls

In-flight meals often ridiculed, but are they really that bad?

Everett Potter

Special for USA TODAY

Is there any aspect of aviation that’s more ridiculed than airline food? In-flight meals are the subject of cheap jokes even when celebrity chefs are hired to rethink menus and bring culinary glamor back to the skies. Here are five myths that we lay to rest.

John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

1

ALL AIRPLANE MEALS ARE FROZEN AND REHEATED HOURS LATER.

Many airline meals are, in fact, frozen and later resuscitated on board. But “not everything is frozen,” says Heather Poole, a flight attendant and author of Cruising Attitude, who points out “that we do serve salads and sandwiches on some flights.”

Nor does the terms “frozen meals” properly describe the entire process.

Karen May of United Airlines says that “in cases where we have to cook and chill meals, we often prepare them using the sous vide method,” which means that the food is sealed in airtight plastic bags and cooked slowly. Each ingredient is treated differently as well. Nikos Loukas is a veteran airline consultant who writes Inflight Feed, which covers dining in the sky. He notes that “chicken is cooked to a strict procedure that involves getting the meat to the right temperature and then quickly blast chilling it to try and keep the moisture levels in the meat.”

2

THEY ONLY GIVE GOOD FOOD TO BUSINESS- AND FIRST-CLASS PASSENGERS.

This is indeed a longstanding belief, and not without merit.

“Well, passengers do pay an awful lot to sit in first class, don’t you think?” Poole asks. “I mean they should get something for spending all that money.“ The irony, of course, is that while someone may be flying up front, they may crave what’s being served in the back of the aircraft.

“I can’t tell you how many first-class passengers will ask us if they can have a snack from coach,” says Poole.

But Nikos Loukos, who samples airline fare constantly, has a broader take on the best food in the skies. He recalls the “Lobster Thermidor option on Singapore Airlines which I’ve been fortunate enough to sample in first class, and yes it was memorable.

However there are a number of airlines who do go above and be-

But Loukos adds that “even those who travel beyond the curtain in premium cabins may also be served a reheated frozen meal. I have experienced lukewarm meals in business class, so it’s not always perfect in the front either.”

Many airline meals are frozen and later reheated onboard — but not all of them.

yond to provide a quality meal in economy class.”

He cites regional fare on Turkish Airlines, the Bibimbap dish on Korean Air, traditional Greek-inspired dishes on Aegean Airlines and Swiss International Airlines’ Taste of Switzerland program.

“If there is a curry on offer in the economy-class cabin definitely choose it,” he says. “Studies have shown that curry dishes perform very well in-flight, and are full of great-tasting flavor.”

But if you’re convinced that the economy meals will be inferior on your flight, Loukos says that there is an alternative to bringing your own food onboard.

“You can always pay to upgrade your standard economyclass meal tray to something a little more decadent,” he points out, a tactic that few American fliers are familiar with. “Airlines such as Air France, KLM, Austrian Airlines, Aer Lingus and British Airways offer this service, where you will be served a business-class style of meal in economy class for a fee. Most of these meals start at about $15 and some are prepared fresh literally just before your

SOME FOODS SHOULD NEVER GO IN THE AIR, YET AIRLINES STILL SERVE THEM.

“This reminds me of the marinated vegetables we served in business class one month,” Poole says.

“I walked on board and I almost died. The smell was awful. But they tasted good. Even so, that smell wasn’t worth it.”

Over at United, Karen May says that catering tries to be proactive and that “our chefs minimize the use of ingredients with strong odors and avoid things like butter sauces and fried foods, which don’t do well at 30,000 feet.”

As for Nikos Loukos, he admits that “While I’ve had some lovely seafood meals in-flight, the majority of the time I haven’t enjoyed them. I don’t think that all types of fish are suitable to use in in-flight meals.“

4

YOU’D BE BETTER OFF EATING FAST FOOD THAN WHAT THE AIRLINES SERVE.

That all depends upon whom you ask. May of United Airlines says that the food that her airline serves is of a much higher quality than one might believe, even in economy.

“On flights that offer our Choice Menu to United Economy customers, passengers can choose from a variety of premium snacks and, in many cases, fresh-

food options, including organic steel-cut oatmeal and a harvestham baguette with maple spread for breakfast, and a rustic Italian sandwich and French countrystyle bowl for lunch and dinner.”

A more scientific way to approach an in-flight meal is becoming the norm in Europe, where new legislation requires that airline catering companies provide passengers with nutritional information on each meal served.

This allows passengers to make an informed decision.

Heather Poole takes a more pragmatic approach, saying that this “depends on a lot different things like the airline, how the long the flight is, the time of day, the route, and whether your seat is in coach or first class. Long flights always have better food than short flights, and anything under three hours is considered a short flight. International flights will always have better food than domestic flights, even if the flying time is about the same.”

5

AIRLINE FOOD IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU RELAX AND EVEN FALL ASLEEP.

While this has been suggested by some observers for years and regarded as nearly an airline conspiracy, Loukos contends that “I think this is an old myth that has been doing the rounds.”

Flight attendant Heather Poole, a veteran of more than two decades in the skies, is somewhat blunter when confronted with this theory.

“What is this, a flight attendant fantasy?” she asks. “I think airlines are more concerned with saving a buck than they are about making passengers fall asleep.”

Q: You are flying on autopilot and there’s an alert of a pending midair collision. The captain pulls the stick back and the co-pilot pushes the stick down. Which way does the plane go?

— Johanson, San Francisco A: In most conventional airplanes the yoke is interconnected, resulting in the strongest pilot determining if the airplane would climb or descend. In fly by wire, with non-interconnected side sticks, a full up and full down command would result in no flight path change because the inputs are algebraically summed.

The scenario you present fails to address one important point.

The “alert” would be from the Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (TCAS). TCAS usually commands a coordinated climb or descent. One airplane goes up while the other goes down. This makes your scenario very unlikely, as both pilots are trained to follow the TCAS command.

Q: Why do both the pilot and co-pilot both place their hands on the throttle during takeoff ?

— Paul Sorelle, Sturgeon Bay, Wis. A: Some operators have both pilots place their hands on the throttles, but most now only have the flying pilot (the one actually manipulating the controls) set the throttles. Only the captain can command a rejected takeoff, so his/her hands must be on the throttles after the initial setting of takeoff thrust.

Q: I can’t figure out the difference in the uniforms between the pilot and the co-pilot. How do you recognize which is which?

— Ambika, Texas A: Captains have four stripes, first officers have three stripes.

Occasionally you might see a professional flight engineer with two stripes.

Q: Just how do airports recycle the de-icing glycol?

— Gary Gallagher, Florida A: De-icing fluid is collected in special drains where it is stored.

Once it is removed, it is cleaned of debris and water, then may be reused.

Bad service is biggest bugaboo for hotel guests Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

They’re apathetic.

They’re never around when you need them. And they lie.

I asked what annoyed guests most about hotels, and that’s what readers told me. Properties whose employees are indifferent to your comfort, turn their backs on you or bend the facts nettle you the most.

You’ve probably read about bothersome hotel guests lately. A few weeks ago, an online travel agency even published a survey on problem travelers, and it named “inattentive parents” as the most annoying hotel guests.

But is that what really grates on your nerves?

No, travelers tell me. It’s inattentive hotel employees.

“It’s the bellmen who talk with one another rather than helping their guests carry luggage and open doors,” says Doug Devitre, an educational consultant based in St. Louis. “It’s the buffet service that seats you and leaves the bill without doing anything else.”

Turns out there are a lot of things that tick us off about hotels. And fortunately, there are ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

ways to un-tick us, too.

The most-cited aggravation, by far, is the hotel employee who doesn’t offer all the facts. Adam Dailey, an entrepreneur from San Diego, recalls checking into a hotel recently at 9 a.m. after arriving on a red-eye flight from California.

“They told me that no rooms were available,” he remembers.

“Then I heard them say to each other a few minutes later that they were not full.”

Hotel insiders could offer any of a number of explanations for why they wouldn’t be able to offer Dailey one of the apparently free rooms. But that’s not the problem — the issue is that the front desk employees, with their careless banter, led him to believe they were not being entirely truthful.

Here’s something else that drives guests crazy: “Getting an old room when there’s a newly renovated room on another floor that is the same rate,” says Emmy Trinh, a jewelry designer from Vancouver. No one knows why some guests are sent to the good rooms and some are relegated to the ones in dire need of an update. Is it loyalty status? Luck of the draw?

It matters not. It vexes guests.

Furniture can bother visitors, too. Patrick Smith, an airline pilot whose book called Cockpit Confidential includes a section about hotel rooms, says anything from a toe-breaking doorjamb to an er-

Travelers say that inattentive employees are one of the most annoying things about hotels.

HOW TO RESPOND TO POOR SERVICE uSpeak up. Complain in the moment when something happens.

Don’t wait until you get home to fire off a letter to the general manager. The only way your hotel can fix your problem is if they know about it. uKeep your party smile ready. Be nice and friendly, especially when you’re inconvenienced. Employees are more likely to react defensively when faced with anger. And don’t forget to say “thank you.” “Hotel staff are always willing to help guests who are appreciative,” says Emmy Trinh, a jewelry designer from Vancouver. uDon’t come back. The best way to show your displeasure with an inconsiderate employee or a room that’s not to your liking is to stop giving the hotel your business. Don’t forget to fill out the guest comment card and let them know why. For the most egregious cases, talk to your corporate travel manager about the hotel’s contract.

gonomically hellish work space can drive a guest crazy.

But the most annoying thing of all are the little cardboard brochures that litter even the most upscale hotel rooms, Smith says.

The ones that advertise everything from room service to Wi-Fi. They’re everywhere, silently ordering you to eat more, watch pay-per-view or save the environment.

“It’d be one thing if this laminated litter was placed unobtrusively,” he says, “But it tends to be exactly in the way.”

Why don’t you see more guest surveys about these obvious irritants?

Maybe hotels don’t want to know. Cardboard ads are an opportunity to upsell their guests, so perhaps they’re indifferent if they annoy you.

Got a problem with a rundown room? Come back after the renovation, and you’ll be happier.

And I’m sure I can find a revenue manager to explain the one about hotels that are booked solid, yet have empty rooms. I won’t bother.

Don’t get distracted by surveys that suggest we’re upset with other guests. We know who’s putting these bees in our bonnets, and it’s not other travelers.

But Warner Bros. released an almost-three-minute featurette Saturday revealing central characters Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol), Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a Muggle or “no-maj.” The film is set in New York 1926.

Oscars, with The Martian and The Revenant hanging around as dark horses.

Brian Truitt USA TODAY

As soon this award season started to look predictable, here come the Screen Actors Guild Awards to keep pundits guessing a little while longer.

With only the Directors Guild Awards to come before voting begins Feb. 12 for the Academy Awards, the SAG winners shored up some categories while others became more of a wild card than ever.

Here’s what the SAGs portend for the Oscars on Feb. 28: ‘SPOTLIGHT’ STILL HAS A CHANCE

The critically acclaimed journalism drama was the best-picture front-runner before The Revenant and The Martian won the two big prizes at the Golden Globes and The Big Short became a favorite after winning top honors from the Producers Guild. In addition to a Critics’ Choice win, nabbing the outstanding-cast SAG honor helps Spotlight’s case, though winners in the category have snagged best picture only 10 out of 20 times. The good news?

Birdman did it last year.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

WELCOME TO THE ‘BRIE AND LEO’ SHOW

After wins at the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and now at SAGs, Room star Brie Larson and The Revenant’s Leonardo DiCaprio are prohibitive favorites to win best actress and best actor, barring some out-of-nowhere upset. More likely, it’s time for them to start clearing shelf space for new golden home décor.

Michael Keaton and the cast of Spotlight got themselves back in the best-picture race with a SAG win.

SUPPORTING ACTOR GOES TO … WHO KNOWS?

Sylvester Stallone gets snubbed by the SAGs, and then he wins a Golden Globe and garners an Oscar nod for Creed. Idris Elba gets snubbed by the academy, and then he wins a SAG actor trophy — one of two for the night — for Beasts of No Nation. Ladies and gentlemen, here is your official Wildest Oscar Category of 2016. It’s anyone’s game, though Stallone, Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Christian Bale (The Big Short) are strong contenders. And that probably means Tom Hardy (The Revenant) will win.

The Danish Girl’s Alicia Vikander has taken home two supporting actress awards, including SAG honors.

Can Oscar be far behind?

‘Kung Fu Panda’ drops the competition Its No. 1 weekend boosts the franchise and the box office Brian Truitt USA TODAY

Jack Black’s martial-arts cartoon bear Po is again rich at the box office.

Kung Fu Panda 3, the latest in the animated franchise, karatekicked all comers and raked in $41 million, according to studio estimates from Rentrak. The film was buoyed by critical acclaim (80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com) and audience raves (a solid A on CinemaScore).

However, it’s the lowest opening weekend for the series yet, after $60.2 million for the first Panda in 2008 and $47.7 million for the sequel three years later.

Its debut is third all-time best

Po (Jack Black) gorges on dumplings and movie ticket sales. for January and helped propel the overall box office weekend to a 35% increase from last year.

“Kung Fu Panda 3 filled a void in a marketplace that has been chock-full of adult dramas, awards-season contenders and other R-rated fare,” Rentrak’s

Paul Dergarabedian says.

Oscar contender The Revenant continues to do well as Leonardo DiCaprio’s wilderness epic pulled in $12.4 million — good enough for second place. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was third with $10.8 million and looks to pass $900 million

domestically this week.

Chris Pine and Casey Affleck’s period rescue drama The Finest Hours tanked with only $10.3 million in its opening weekend. The Kevin Hart and Ice Cube comedy Ride Along 2 rounded out the top five with $8.3 million.

In other weekend debuts, Marlon Wayans’ Fifty Shades of Black fell on its face and could muster only $6.2 million. Even worse, Natalie Portman scored one of the lowest openings of her career as her Western Jane Got a Gun made only $803,000.

The Fifty Shades of Grey spoof was leveled by critics (13% liked it on Rotten Tomatoes) and garnered a lowly C on CinemaScore.

But Dergarabedian says he doesn’t see these pop-culture send-ups going away anytime soon: “If this spoof movie winds up being profitable between the theatrical release and home video, they will keep making these.”

Final figures are out Monday.

Kansas football lands pledges

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In its final push to fill the 2016 recruiting class, Kansas University’s football program wound up getting a head start on the 2017 class.

Sunday afternoon, after another busy weekend of hosting official visitors, the Jayhawks landed a pair of commitments from Dallasarea offensive linemen and another from a wide receiver in the 2016 class.

Evan Fairs, a 6-foot-3, 182-pound wideout from Richmond, Texas, orally committed to KU coach David Beaty before leaving town. Fairs, who originally committed to Maryland last year but reopened his recruitment after the coaching staff at Maryland was let go, narrowed his choices to Kansas and Illinois before making the visit to Lawrence this weekend.

D-line coach Calvin Thibodeaux was the lead recruiter for Fairs, who was a finalist for the Houston Touchdown Club Offensive Player of the Year award after catching 55 passes for 900 yards and 14 touchdowns.

He earned first-team alldistrict honors and becomes another play-maker with good size and speed to KU’s receiving corps. Fairs met with returning wide-receivers coach Klint Kubiak and newly hired receivers coach Jason Phillips during his visit, which included experiencing the Kansas-Kentucky basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday night.

While Fairs was helping solidify KU’s current class, Class of 2017 offensive linemen Jared Hocker (6-5, 290, North Richland Hills, Texas) and Grant Polley (6-5, 275, Denton, Texas, High) pledged their services to the Jayhawks within three hours of each other.

Both players announced their commitments on Twitter, and the news inspired KU offensive line coach Zach Yenser, who was a key player in landing the two, to toss out a celebratory — and perfectly legal — tweet of his own.

“What a great weekend in Lawrence,” Yenser wrote.

“Big time #ballers in the ’16 class were on campus and ’17 Bigs in #DFW laying the foundation for the #kuOL.” Beaty, meanwhile, was busy pumping out his #NeatDeal Tweets, which in the past has indicated good news for the Jayhawks on the recruiting trail.

This time around, in the case of Hocker and Polley, Beaty had to add the year to the end of the cryptic tweets.

Jayhawks humbly celebrate success The greatest team in the history of Kansas University volleyball gathered for a banquet Sunday in the Horejsi Family Athletic Center without a hint of conceit in the air.

The only thing reaching the Final Four for the first time in school history seems to have changed is the program’s ever-rising expectations. Those were put on hold for a day to reflect on an amazing season.

Head coach Ray Bechard didn’t need a script to trigger memories he shared from a podium.

Bechard quoted the KU volleyball play-by-play man’s line about AllAmerican Kelsie Payne, the high-flying sophomore who puts amazing velocity on her shots: “Kelsie Payne has no regard for human life.”

“It’s very a rare a team that does not get to the final has a player on the all-tournament team, but the best player there was Kelsie Payne,” Bechard said.

Payne and Big 12 setter of the year Ainise Havili are the school’s first two firstteam All-Americans.

the best communicators and best Jayhawks you’ll ever be around. She got our team going a number of times with great serves. She communicates. She loves her school, she loves her teammates, she loves this program as much

as anyone I’ve ever been around.”

Janae Hall, Bechard reminded the audience, won the Elite 90 Award, given to the Final Four athlete with the highest GPA. Sophomore Madison Rigdon, Bechard said, had “the biggest kill in the history of the University of Kansas Volleyball.”

That would be the kill that triggered on-court jollity, the kill that sealed KU’s 15-13 victory in Set Five vs.

USC after Kansas had fallen behind.

“Down 13-9 to the No. 1 seed and the national

player of the year (Samantha Bricio) on the front row of the other side,” Bechard recalled. “We called timeout, said, ‘Let’s just do what we do.’ Sideout, 13-10. We’ve got Cassie Wait serving. Next thing you know, we’re ahead 14-13.”

Then came a brief eternity of suspense.

“Then the rally, yes, the rally,” Bechard said to the delight of the crowd. “The ball crossed 13 times. Then the Jayhawks win. Next thing you know, big dogpile out there. What we don’t Please see KEEGAN, page 3C

‘Freebie’ gave KU brief respite, boost

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF CLAPS as he leaves the court following the Jayhawks’ 90-84 overtime victory over Kentucky on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Playing Kentucky on Jan. 30 — eight games into the Big 12 Conference season — made for a rather unique experience for Kansas University’s basketball players and coaches Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

“It was almost a freebie. It was almost like you’re playing an exhibition game in the middle, because it didn’t

mean anything in the big picture except for momentum and seeding and intangible things,” KU coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks’ 90-84 overtime victory over the Wildcats — a win that helped give the Big 12 a 7-3 head-to-head advantage in the one-day Big 12/SEC Challenge.

“Cal (Kentucky coach John Calipari) is going to be on his guys, ‘Now we’ve got to get back to what we’re

doing, got to get back to the grind.’ We’ll do the same with our guys,” Self added.

KU-Kentucky didn’t affect conference records any — KU takes a 5-3 league mark into Wednesday’s 8 p.m. resumption of league play against Kansas State (13-8, 2-6) in Allen — but it wasn’t exactly meaningless, either. “(It) could be a résumé game and help us on the seed line,” Self said of the

NCAA Tournament. “Hopefully it’ll give us momentum going back into league.”

Other than that, “I think this means more to our fans than us, although getting hammered by them like we did last year, we needed to come back and get a quality win against a team that hammered us by 30 (72-40 in 2014 Champions Classic),” Self said. “I think there Please see HOOPS, page 3C

PRO BOWL

Honolulu (ap) — Russell Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes to lead Team Irvin to a 49-27 victory over Team Rice in the Pro Bowl on Sunday.

The Seattle Seahawks star, who was the first player picked in the all-star game’s draft, led scoring drives on three of Team Irvin’s first four possessions at Aloha Stadium. He threw touchdown passes of 14 and 2 yards to Atlanta Falcons teammates Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman, respectively, in the opening quarter.

Early in the second quarter, Wilson connected with Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley for a 10-yard score.

Wilson went 8-of-12 for 164 yards and was selected the game’s offensive MVP, while Seahawks teammate Michael Bennett was the defensive MVP after having the game’s only sack and deflecting a pass.

The teams were coached by Hall of Fame wide receivers Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice.

Minnesota’s Teddy Bridgewater and Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston each added two TD passes for Team Irvin. Jacksonville’s Allen Robinson, Tennessee’s Delanie Walker, Philadelphia’s Darren Sproles and Houston’s DeAndre Hopkins had scoring receptions.

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce caught two scoring passes for Team Rice. Miami’s Jarvis Landry also had a TD catch, and Tampa Bay’s Doug Martin ran for a score.

Dominique RodgersCromartie of the New York Giants had two of Team Irvin’s six interceptions.

BRANDT SNEDEKER AND HIS CADDY DISCUSS OPTIONS while waiting to tee off on the 18th hole at Torrey Pines on Sunday in San Diego.

Farmers Insurance finish pushed back a day San Diego — Brandt Snedeker called it one of the best rounds he ever played, one he doubts he could repeat if he had to start over.

Still to be determined was whether his 3-under 69 in a raging wind and occasional rain Sunday at Torrey Pines would be good enough to win the Farmers Insurance Open.

He has to wait until today to find out.

Not long after Snedeker finished, the final round was suspended for the third and final time because of unplayable conditions. The wind was so fierce that the South Course was evacuated as the gusts started to push out windows in tents.

Stewart Williams, a meteorologist for the PGA Tour, said the peak gust was between 50 mph and 55 mph. Today will be closed to the public, and the only volunteers on duty will be drivers of the evacuation vans for the players.

“It’s like playing a British Open on a U.S. Open setup,” Snedeker said.

In gusts that frequently topped 40 mph, he delivered a major performance. Snedeker played the final 17 holes without a bogey. Of the 23 players who finished the round, 11 of them shot in the 80s, and their average score was 78.9.

Snedeker’s one regret was not getting upand-down for birdie on the par-5 18th hole, fearing that might leave him short of another unlikely victory at Torrey Pines.

He posted at 6-under 282.

The next best score to Snedeker was a 73 by Shane Lowry of Ireland.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland, who had a share of the lead after two rounds, was at 2-under through 11.

Hyo Joo Kim takes Bahamas Paradise Island, Bahamas — Hyo Joo Kim won the season-opening Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic on Sunday, relegating Stacy Lewis to yet another second-place finish.

Kim rebounded from a bogey on the 16th hole with a 9-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th and closed with a par for a two-stroke victory over Lewis, 2015 champion Sei Young Kim and Anna Nordqvist.

“Really happy that I won here because it’s just like a really good start to the season,” Hyo Joo Kim said through fellow South Korean player Minjee Lee. “Good vibes.”

Hyo Joo Kim shot a 7-under 66 at the breezy Ocean Club to finish at 18-under 274. The 20-year-old player has three LPGA Tour victories, also winning the 2014 Evian Championship and 2015 Founders Cup. She has nine victories on the Korean LPGA. “She’s just so used to winning,” caddie Dean Herden said. “I mean, she’s won so many times in Korea that she’s very comfortable when she’s on top of the leaderboard, and getting there. Her iron play got better today. Didn’t hit the iron shots very well yesterday, hit a lot of thin shots. Last night we were working on something and today she was able to hit a lot more solid shots.”

Song holds off Spieth Singapore — Jordan Spieth finished runner-up at the Singapore Open on Monday after South Korea’s Song Young-han held his

nerve to beat the fast-finishing world number one by a stroke.

Among 13 players back at Sentosa Golf Club at the break of dawn after Sunday’s final round was suspended because of a thunderstorm, Spieth sank a five-foot birdie putt on the last hole, where he had marked his ball overnight, completing a final round of 5-under 66 to finish at 11-under 273.

Song, resuming on 12 under and playing two groups behind Spieth, drained a 12-foot par putt on the 16th then made par at the last two holes to win the co-sanctioned Asian and Japan Tour event.

China’s Liang Wen-chong, who completed his final round on Sunday, finished outright third at 10-under.

SOCCER

Birnbaum sparks U.S., 3-2 Carson, Calif. — Steve Birnbaum and the U.S. men’s national team both need some time to shake off an up-and-down 2015 season.

The defender and his American teammates all got off to a fine start on that process Sunday.

Birnbaum headed home the tiebreaking goal on Michael Bradley’s corner kick in the 90th minute, and the U.S. men’s national team opened its 2016 schedule with a 3-2 exhibition victory over Iceland on Sunday.

Birnbaum had his first international goal and an assist as a second-half substitute in his second U.S. appearance. The Orange County native set up Michael Orozco’s tying goal in the 59th minute before knocking in the late winner, celebrating in front of a crowd that included his mother and grandmother.

Jozy Altidore scored in the first half and Bradley had two assists in an entertaining start to the Americans’ season after a rough 2015 that included a 2-5-1 finish.

NFL

Broncos, Panthers arrive San Francisco — They’re here.

The Denver Broncos arrived in the Bay Area on Sunday for Northern California’s first Super Bowl since 1985, followed soon after by the Carolina Panthers.

Denver’s flight into San Jose, California, was delayed by an hour. The team flew in a customized United Airlines jet with a Broncos logo over the door. Someone in the cockpit waved a Broncos flag out of a window as the plane taxied along the tarmac.

Former Broncos running back Terrell Davis, the Super Bowl MVP in 1998, met the players as they exited the jet.

Panthers All-Pro quarterback Cam Newton emerged from the team plane wearing gold, black and white zebra pants, along with a dark V-neck sweater with a shirt and tie underneath his hooded leather coat. It’s not all that unusual an outfit for him considering Newton has been seen wearing loafers without socks with his suit at postgame interviews.

Still, the pants were striking and set social media ablaze.

“Dang, Cam wore the exact same outfit as me today,” right tackle Mike Remmers joked on Twitter.

was a lot of respect on the floor with the players. It was a fun game, a game in which our guys looked forward to playing.”

The fans were up for it, cheering so loud that Kentucky senior Alex Poythress said it was the loudest arena he’d played in his career.

“It wasn’t as good (loud) as the OU game, though,” Self said of KU’s 109-106 3OT win over the Sooners on Jan. 4 in Allen. “We didn’t do anything from a playing standpoint, to make athletic plays or have a short run or mini-run. We never did that.

“It’s fabulous,” Self added of the fieldhouse.

“There’s other places that are great. I doubt there’s any one better.”

KU’s Wayne Selden Jr., who scored a career-high 33 points, said the crowd inspired the Jayhawks to claim their 17th win against four losses. UK fell to 16-5.

“I don’t think I’ll ever play in an atmosphere like I played in tonight,” Selden said. “I feel like, ‘How does it get any better?’ I don’t know how it gets any better than this atmosphere it was tonight.”

It remains to be seen if KU can build on the victory and improve on its 5-3 league start, which includes a 1-3 mark in road games.

“In the big picture, it didn’t really mean much,” Selden said. “It meant a lot for pride, for tradition.

It was a great time to get our momentum going and juices flowing. Our biggest thing now it taking our show on the road.”

Selden, in the final analysis, was a bit better than Kentucky’s Tyler Ulis, who scored 26 points with eight assists and three steals in 45 minutes.

Selden’s hustle play to begin overtime set the tone for a session in which KU outscored Kentucky, 14-8 (which included a meaningless three by Ulis at the buzzer). Selden flew into the stands chasing a loose ball in the backcourt on the opening possession.

He flung the basketball high in the air, KU gaining possession on offense thanks to the save.

“That just gets the place going, plays like that,” Selden said. “Usually you don’t want to save the ball on the opponent’s side (of court), but I knew my guys. Throw it up in the air, and I know somebody’s going to get it. Throw a 50/50 ball up in the air, and Perry (Ellis) got it.”

Selden hit two free throws to open the scoring in overtime, then after Skal Labissiere hit a jumper to tie it, put KU ahead to stay with a drive and resounding dunk with 3:10 left in the extra session.

“Wayne was extreme tonight,” KU guard Frank Mason III said. “He did what I know he can do.

He drove the ball downhill, found guys when they were open, did what we wanted him to do.”

Selden, a 6-5 junior from Roxbury, Mass., said, “It was a great ex-

perience. The place was rocking. I had a lot of family in town (including grandfather who’d not yet seen him play in college).

It was really a blessing.”

Of busting loose for his career high (previous high was 25 against both Iowa State and Vanderbilt), he said: “I felt it was something that had to be done. Think about the past, how we’ve been playing recently. We’ve been kind of stale. I was just coming out trying to be enthusiastic and have energy.” l

KU-UK again?: Self was asked if he’d like to play Kentucky every year, considering the programs are the top two programs in all-time victories (UK has 2,194, KU 2,170).

“The Big 12/SEC Challenge ... I don’t know what they’ll do, but I would assume Cal will definitely say, ‘They’re coming back to our place next year.’ I don’t think he’ll pass on that one,” Self said.

No announcement has yet been made, but it’s assumed KU will return the trip to Rupp Arena in Lexington next season.

“To have us play home and home in a year we don’t play the Champions or Big 12/SEC? I’d be good with that. Cal will play anybody. You look at our schedule. We’ll play about anybody. Our league is so good. When you are playing a top 25 RPI game every (league) game also, those games (KU-UK) sound all great.

I’d love to do it. If we did, I’d definitely not do some other things we’re trying to do now (regarding playing difficult teams on slate).”

Kansas set a number of team records, including best start (19-0), best finish (30-3) and best hitting percentage (.299, shattering the old mark of .254). The only schools to defeat Kansas, Texas (twice) and national

champion Nebraska, played in the title match.

That’s great fodder for making heads swell.

When the man at the head of the program spends the entire banquet doling out credit to everyone and everything except his mirror, that goes a long way toward explaining why conceit was nowhere to be found in the room.

lete in the 2016 class, which will feature just 17 new faces because of the eight players KU counted forward in order to get them on campus prior to the start of the 2015 season.

Three of those 17 — DT DeeIsaac Davis, DT Isi Holani and DB Stephan Robinson — made their commitments official during the mid-year signing period back in December, and

two more — OL Cam Durley and DB Shola Ayinde — initially were a part of KU’s 2015 class but did not make it to campus last year.

That means Beaty officially will introduce 12 new players Wednesday, provided KU gives away the final scholarship in the 2016 class, and the other 11 send their letters of intent to KU, making the commitments official.

Surging Shockers take 11th straight win The Associated Press

No. 22 Wichita St. 78, Evansville 65 Evansville, Ind. — Fred VanVleet scored a career-high 32 points, and Conner Frankamp added 10 to lead Wichita State past Evansville on Sunday.

The Shockers (16-5, 10-0 Missouri Valley Conference) have won 11 straight since starting the season 5-5.

Evansville (18-5, 7-3) was led by D.J. Balentine with 18 points. Egidijus Mockevicius had 16 points and 12 rebounds in front of a record crowd at the Ford Center, but the Purple Aces lost for the second time in three games.

Uthoff shook off his season-low nine points in Thursday’s defeat at No. 8 Maryland with 19 in the first half as Iowa went up by 16. Jok followed with three straight threes, and Iowa rolled to its seventh league win by at least 10 points.

Tre Demps had a season-high 30 points for Northwestern (15-8, 3-7).

Bryant McIntosh, the Wildcats’ leading scorer at 15 points per game, was held to just four.

At 1 a.m. Central time, when the match played in San Diego ended.

“I went to 23rd Street Brewery a couple of weeks ago, and the guy said, ‘Are you the volleyball coach? Man, we watched your match, and we don’t know anything about volleyball, but that was really fun.’ I think we spread joy from Los Angeles, which was an 11 o’clock finish, to Massachusetts, where I had friends watching at 2 a.m.”

In addition to Rigdon’s on-target laser that ended the suspense, Bechard relived libero Wait’s amazing dig of a blurry shot from Bricio.

“Biggest dig in the history of University of Kansas volleyball,” Bechard said. “She took Bricio’s best shot, ‘What else do you have?’ and dug it up.”

Bechard talked of junior Tayler Soucie’s strong play on the way to first-team All-Big 12 honors and lauded the reserves, including senior Anna Church, for keeping the starters sharp daily in practice.

Bechard also called attention to associate head coach Laura “Bird” Kuhn earning the national assistant coach of the year award and pointed out that as did Bird, assistants Todd Chamberlain
