Senate to move quickly on tax proposal

ZION BOWLIN SAYS HE CAN REMEMBER hopping on the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence bus as a child and going to the pool. Now a senior at Free State High School and captain of the football and baseball teams, Bowlin has been named the club’s 2017 Youth of the Year.

might outshine all the rest.

The Free State senior has been named the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence 2017 Youth of the Year winner.

“Being an athlete and getting All-State awards and All-League awards — I place it above those,” Bowlin says, reflecting on things a week after clinching the Youth of the Year title during a packed ceremony at Liberty Hall. “So it means a lot to me.”

He says this with a smile that exudes quiet confidence and humility. And he means it, too. For longtime members like Bowlin, Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club kid can receive.

The annual award recognizes those who exemplify the organization’s values of leadership, service, academic excellence and healthy living.

Bowlin beat out four other candidates, including 2016 Kansas Youth of the Year winner Jazmyne McNair, to clinch the title. It was a culmination of five months’ work — writing essays, preparing speeches, doing community service projects, and, for all the candidates, learning to thrive outside one’s comfort zone. And Amy Hill, director of teen services at the Boys & Girls Club, served as Bowlin’s mentor through it all.

ion Bowlin is no stranger to accolades.

In his four years at Free State High School, he’s racked up quite a few.

On the baseball diamond, he was his team’s 2016 MVP and an All-State first team honoree. On the football field, he was an All-League pick (also first team) and the record holder for the longest rush in Free State’s history.

He’s also, naturally, the captain of both teams.

But last month, Bowlin added another prize to Being an athlete and getting All-State awards and his collection that he says All-League awards — I place (Youth of the Year) above

“Throughout this entire process, he’s just been amazing. I know he’s very humble, but just the hard work he has put into this — his work ethic is just stellar and something people should emulate,” says Hill, who remembers the Monday nights when Bowlin would drive straight from football practice to meet with Hill for the pair’s dedicated work sessions.

California travel ban affecting KU hoops —

LGBT group: Repeal ‘religious freedom’ law

KU Athletics director explains ‘no comment’ stance

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

In recent weeks, members of the highly-ranked University of Kansas men’s basketball team have made national headlines because of off-court incidents.

Nearly half the team has been interviewed in an ongoing KU police investigation of a rape reported at the team’s on-campus apartment

building. One player, now on diversion for possession of drug paraphernalia, had disputes with two women last semester that Zenger reached the district attorney’s office, though he’s not facing charges there.

News outlets have reported

other players’ involvement in an internal university domestic violence investigation and an ongoing property damage investigation by Lawrence police.

In an interview with the Journal-World on Friday, KU’s top athletics official said the KU basketball team is not out of control and that KU Athletics has policies in place and sticks to them.

“No,” said KU Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger, emphasizing he was speaking generally and not to any particular allegations.

“Coach (Bill) Self has handled his team with great care over the years and continues to comply with all university and Kansas Athletics policies at all times,” Zenger said.

Kansas Supreme Court upholds death sentence

By Jim Suhr Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — A divided Kansas Supreme Court on Friday upheld a man’s death sentence it once had thrown out in the 2004 shooting deaths of a woman and her boyfriend.

The 4-3 ruling Friday let stand the Barton County sentence of 37-year-old Sidney Gleason in the killings of Mikiala Martinez and Darren Wornkey. The state’s high court had vacated the death sentence in 2014, only to be overruled a year ago by the U.S. Supreme Court and ordered to review Gleason’s case again. Gleason Writing for the court in that ruling, then-Justice Antonin Scalia — a month before his death — voiced exasperation about the Kansas court, which has tossed out death sentences seven times in 20 years, with five of those decisions later reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Senate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Senate Bill 147 would repeal the exemption for income derived from pass-through business entities, retroactive to Jan. 1, and would raise individual income tax rates by three-tenths of a percent starting in 2018.

The bill was just introduced Thursday afternoon, and the Department of Revenue had not yet published a fiscal impact statement Friday. A spokeswoman for the department said fiscal notes

schools in Kansas because of a “religious freedom” law in Kansas that says campus student groups here can discriminate in their membership against people who do not share the group’s religious beliefs or practices.

That includes religious groups that ban gay students from joining due to the group’s religious beliefs.

KU Athletics spokesman Jim Marchiony said KU had been in preliminary talks with the University of CaliforniaBerkeley to schedule a series of “home-and-home” games. But a new law in California that took effect Jan. 1 now prohibits that.

“Cal said they couldn’t do it,” Marchiony said.

The new California law, passed in 2015, prohibits state-funded or state-sponsored travel to states with laws deemed to be discriminatory against the LGBT community, and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has determined it applies to Kansas as

Since Kansas reinstated capital punishment in 1994, the state high court has affirmed four death sentences since December 2015. In November, voters retained four of the Kansas justices who had been targeted for ouster, partly because of the Scalia-scorned overturned death sentences.

“When the Kansas Supreme Court time and again invalidates death sentences because it says the federal Constitution requires it, review by this court, far from undermining state autonomy, is the only possible way to vindicate it,” Scalia wrote.

In October, Kansas’ high court upheld the death sentence of Gary Kleypas, who was convicted of the 1996 rape and stabbing death of a Pittsburg State University student and became the first person condemned in Kansas after it reinstated the death penalty.

On Friday, the Kansas court’s majority rejected Gleason’s

can only be released by the Legislative Research Department, and as of 5 p.m. Friday, none had been posted on the Legislature’s website.

Sen. Jim Denning, ROverland Park, gave rough estimates Thursday morning that repealing the LLC exemption would generate about $230 million a year, and that each one-tenth of a percent increase in the individual rates would raise about $68 million.

But others suggested later in the day that the fiscal impact may be much less than that.

The bill is being dubbed the “Senate leadership bill,” and as such

claim that his sentence was unconstitutional because it was more severe than the 25-yearsto-life sentence given to an accomplice, Gleason’s cousin Damien Thompson.

“The wheels of justice are turning,” Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said of the ruling.

Prosecutors said Gleason and Thompson were part of a group that robbed and stabbed a 76-year-old man in his Great Bend home in February 2004. Gleason and Thompson were accused of later plotting to kill the 19-yearold Martinez because she’d been present during the robbery and they worried about what she would tell police. Authorities said they also planned to kill Wornkey, 24, if he got in the way.

Gleason repeatedly shot Wornkey as he sat in a Jeep outside a home he shared with Martinez, prosecutors said, and with Thompson drove Martinez out of town, where Thompson strangled and shot her as Gleason watched.

it represents a major change of policy for many in the Republican caucus.

Gov. Sam Brownback, who has said previously that he opposes any reversal of the tax cuts he championed in 2012, did not respond to questions about it following a news conference in his office where he announced a higher-education initiative involving Cowley County Community College and Fort Hays State University.

Democratic leaders in the Legislature gave Senate Republicans credit for starting the tax debate early in the session, but they said they believe the proposal falls short of

‘‘

Although the legislation was silent on the reasons a group might want to reject members, floor debate in the House and Senate made clear the target of the bill was our LGBT population.”

— Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas

well as Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee.

Before Kansas enacted Senate Bill 175 last year, students were allowed to form exclusive clubs and associations. But colleges and universities, including KU, only provided funding and access to university facilities to groups that were open to all students.

The hoped-for series between UC-Berkeley and KU is the only athletics event that has been affected so far, according to KU officials. Larry Keating, special assistant to the KU athletics director, told the Journal-World Friday that there are no major sports games scheduled between KU and any California team, and if any games do come up, he said they would be the result of contracts that were signed before Jan. 1 when the law took effect.

But the California

travel ban could have far-reaching implications for other kinds of travel, including academic conferences, government agency conferences and other types of travel.

Now, a leading LGBT rights advocacy group in Kansas that opposed the law in the first place is calling for its repeal, saying it was clear that the intent of the law was to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

Equality Kansas announced this week that it has introduced a bill, Senate Bill 139, to repeal the campus religious freedom law.

“Although the legislation was silent on the reasons a group might want to reject members, floor debate in the House and Senate made clear the target of the bill was our LGBT population,” Equality Kansas executive director Tom Witt said.

‘‘

We can’t expedite anything, we can’t delay anything, we just simply stand back and let the authorities do their jobs.”

— KU Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger

Zenger repeatedly declined to answer specific questions about the rape investigation and other incidents of misconduct that have been reported in the news.

However, he said KU Athletics’ “no comment” stance on the alleged incidents was required.

“There are legal and ethical reasons that we can’t discuss investigations. If you’re a reader, that leaves you with one side of a story,” Zenger said.

“There are times when it would benefit us to get out there and maybe try and share some other information ... We just have to weather the time

period when maybe incomplete or inaccurate conversations are being had. That is in an effort to really protect the rights of everybody involved in an investigation.”

He added it also was necessary to protect the investigative process itself.

That goes for law enforcement as well as internal university misconduct investigations, such as those conducted by KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.

Per KU policy, Zenger said when information about an athlete violating student conduct rules

comes to the attention of KU Athletics, it “goes straight up the hill” to Student Affairs, which handles such investigations for all students.

“It’s really a one-way path,” Zenger said. “That information goes up, and we get out of the way. We can’t expedite anything, we can’t delay anything, we just simply stand back and let the authorities do their jobs.”

For law enforcement investigations involving student athletes, Zenger said KU Athletics also does not expect special treatment.

solving what they called the state’s “structural imbalance.”

“We are open to any conversation and compliment the Senate Republicans for starting that conversation,” House Democratic leader Jim Ward of Wichita said.

“Here’s the test: Does it fix the structural problem we’ve been dealing with for five years, and second of all, does it provide a methodology for us to invest in public schools?”

He noted that the Kansas Supreme Court is expected to rule soon in a long-running school finance lawsuit in which plaintiffs are seeking

upwards of $550 million a year in additional funding.

Ward and Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said they believe the state needs about $900 million to $1 billion over the next two years, not counting any additional school funding the Supreme Court may order.

Some Democrats are pushing to reinstate a third tax bracket for upper-income individuals.

“Why did Willie Sutton rob banks? Because that’s where the money is,” Ward said.

The Kansas bill passed by veto-proof margins last year: 30-8 in the Senate and 81-41 in the House.

All Douglas County legislators voted against it except Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, who lost her bid for re-election in last year’s Republican primary.

In a statement released to news outlets, Gov. Sam Brownback, who signed the bill last year, reaffirmed his support for the law despite the California travel ban, calling religious freedom “a bedrock American principle and part of the essence of who we are as a people.”

The campus religious freedom bill is one of several laws still on the books in Kansas that Equality Kansas wants to repeal this year because it says the measures have since been made null and void by U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Witt said Equality Kansas has also introduced bills to repeal the state’s criminal sodomy statute, which makes sexual relations between people of the same sex a crime.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down such laws nearly 14 years ago in a case involving a similar

Texas statute.

accusation, that is handed over to law enforcement, and we get out of the way,” Zenger said.

Outside KU Athletics, Zenger said he understood the possibility that some community members would be tempted to give special treatment to athletes with “celebrity status.”

He personally hopes that is not the case, Zenger said.

KU Athletics works hard to treat all its teams and athletes equally, he said. The KU Athletics compliance office even tries to educate local business owners, for example, to avoid giving athletes special treatment, which in some cases could violate NCAA rules.

Regarding the reported rape of a 16-year-old girl at McCarthy Hall on Dec. 18, Zenger said KU Athletics was taking the report

very seriously.

“Any crime of that magnitude … there aren’t words for the gravity of such, and how seriously the institution and our department take that,” he said.

Other than that, Zenger said he could not comment, including answering exactly when he learned of the report, what he was told and what action he took.

“This is where I’m not permitted to talk about any ongoing investigation of any kind,” he said.

The rape case remains under investigation, Deputy Chief James Anguiano of KU police said Friday. Police have not released any information about a possible suspect.

More expulsions for sexual harassment added to KU list

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

The University of Kansas has expelled people in 15 sexual harassment cases, which include acts of sexual violence, in the past four and a half years, according to a newly updated list.

Two of those expulsions were added in the last year and a half.

KU’s online list of Student Affairs sanctions for sexual harassment violations was updated in January to include sanctions issued from May 2012 through December 2016. The previous version of the list included sanctions issued from May 2012 through September 2015, and listed 13 expulsions for sexual harassment, the Journal-World previously reported.

Students were sanctioned in a total of 52 cases after being found responsible for sexual harassment since May 2012, according to the list.

All 15 expulsions also included campus bans and notations added to transcripts, according to the list. In addition, there were: l Seven suspensions, for periods ranging from a semester to two years, with conditions for re-enrollment. l 26 probations, for periods ranging from two months to two years. Most probations also required training in areas such as alcohol, healthy relationships, sexual harassment and consent. l Two required to complete education or training. l Two warnings.

The umbrella of sexual

harassment includes everything from unwanted romantic advances or commentary about someone’s body to sexual violence, according to KU’s sexual harassment policy.

Domestic violence, dating violence and stalking also fall under the umbrella of sexual harassment, university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said.

All are prohibited by Title IX, Barcomb-Peterson said. Title IX is the federal law that also requires universities to investigate and adjudicate reports of sexual harassment on their campuses.

KU’s sexual harassment sanctions list first went online in February 2015, during the year that the KU Sexual Assault Task Force was meeting and preparing recommendations.

“There was a strong interest in that information,” BarcombPeterson said.

The list does not include violation dates or indicate what category of violation each sanction was for. Barcomb-Peterson said that is to protect student privacy.

“We certainly don’t want to identify individuals or anything that would cause people to connect it to an individual,” she said.

The sexual harassment investigations, conducted by KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, are separate from law enforcement investigations.

When IOA finds that a violation occurred, the case is generally referred to Student Affairs for disciplinary proceedings, according to KU. In cases where evidence is insufficient to

Lawmakers introduce open government bills Topeka (ap) — Two bills before a Kansas Senate committee would make government meetings and records more accessible to the public.

The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee heard the bills Tuesday.

One bill, introduced by Lawrence Sen. Marci Francisco and

Louisburg Sen. Molly Baumgardner, clarifies a law that requires government bodies to justify going into private meetings. The reason for the private meeting would have to be recorded in public minutes.

The other bill reduces how much government entities can charge for public records. It caps

the price per page and requires staff time be charged at the lowest hourly rate for a qualified employee.

Committee Chairman Jacob LaTurner says the bills will be further discussed next week. LaTurner has advocated for legislation that would curb the costs of getting public records.

Colleges team up to offer $15K degrees

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Fort Hays State University and Cowley County Community College announced Friday that they are teaming up to offer two kinds of bachelor’s degrees that students can earn in four years or less at a total cost of less than $15,000.

But Kansas Board of Regents officials cautioned that the low rates may not last if they are forced to raise tuition rates this spring in response to decreased funding from the state.

The two schools announced the program Friday during a news conference with Gov. Sam Brownback, who

challenged the state’s higher education community to come up with such a program during his State of the State address in January.

“The challenge kept a single goal in mind: to keep tuition down for our students,” Brownback said Friday. “Many told us it could not be done, that it was simply

impossible for a Kansas student to get a college degree for $15,000 or less.

Yet today, I’m standing here with representatives from our colleges to tell you that the challenge has been accepted.”

The program, dubbed “Tiger to Tiger” because both schools’ mascots are

> DEGREES, 5A

support a violation, no disciplinary action is recommended.

An overarching concern for the university is protecting the educational environment, to ensure the best conditions for student learning are maintained, according to KU. A goal is for sanctions to fit the seriousness of the violation.

“The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs takes an educational approach to all conduct cases, not a punitive one,” the Student Affairs website says. “When students are found responsible for the allegations, it is our opportunity to educate the student/student organization on the effects of his/her/their behavior and to (effect) a change in the student’s behavior for the future.”

Zaxby’s announces opening date for Lawrence restaurant

I

promise, at some point I’ll quit writing about fried chicken restaurants. (The grease on my fingers will make it too difficult to type.)

But more fried chicken restaurants keep opening in town, and the subject continues to be one I get asked about a lot. So, I have news on the opening date for Lawrence’s latest fried chicken restaurant, Zaxby’s.

Zaxby’s has announced that its grand opening will be Feb. 18. Although I left my Sherlock Holmes hat at home, a little bit of detective work indicates you can get some of Zaxby’s chicken well before that.

When I was taking a photo of the new building, there was a sign taped to

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

the drive-thru message board that said the store was opening at 10 a.m.

Monday. My guess is the grand opening is Feb. 18, but the restaurant will have a soft opening on Monday.

If you have forgotten, Zaxby’s is located in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth and Wakarusa.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Lawrence Public Schools in 1989.

In Lawrence, Anderson taught third and fourth grades at Broken Arrow Elementary School and kindergarten at Cordley Elementary School. She also served as the district’s Even Start coordinator for eight years and as an early-childhood specialist for three years.

In 2005, she became principal of the former East Heights Early Childhood Family Center.

“Thousands of young children have benefited from strong relationships Cris has helped develop among families, our schools and the

community, including partnerships with individuals and organizations across Kansas who champion early-childhood education and school readiness,” Hayden said.

The district will immediately begin a search to fill Anderson’s position for the upcoming school year. Kennedy serves approximately 420 students, pre-K through fifth grade, and is home to the district’s early-childhood educational readiness program.

Youth

somebody and doesn’t try to fit in with everybody else. They try to do their own thing, but in the right way.”

For Bowlin, that means steering clear of drugs and alcohol and surrounding himself with a small but tight-knit group of friends.

He’s very selective about the people he lets into his life, and he’s loyal to those who have stood by him over the years.

That’s why he’s now giving back to the Boys & Girls Club as a volunteer.

Bowlin enjoys playing games with the kids, he says, and simply being there for them. He knows some of the children may also have complicated lives waiting for them back home, like he did.

And since Bowlin is the Youth of the Year winner, those kids look up to him, Hill said.

But Bowlin has more work to do. The statewide Youth of the Year competition, in which the prize is a $5,000 scholarship, is only a month away. From there, it’s regionals and

then the national prize, with any luck.

Bowlin said he wants to become a nurse someday, to be able to care for people the way his grandmother’s nurses did throughout the long illness that ended her life last year. He hasn’t decided on a college yet.

Bowlin’s also received some athletic offers from a few schools, and hopes to continue playing baseball, the sport he loves, while juggling academics.

“Hopefully it can help me with getting into college,” Bowlin says of his latest win. Beyond that, “I don’t know,” he admits.

“It’s just something that has been able to get me to give back to the other kids in the community who might’ve went through something like I went through. That’s really what it is,” he says. “Trying to help the younger kids, as well as myself.”

There were also, she says, the weekends when he would do the same.

And the times he spent at the Boys & Girls Club’s teen center during his winter break, tweaking his speech. “He put in that extra time and dedication to get it the way he wanted to be,” Hill says.

That’s an athlete for you.

Bowlin means it when he talks about Youth of the Year outranking all those sports awards.

Baseball will always be his first love — he’s been playing “since I could swing a bat,” the 17-yearold proudly recalls. But, just as sports have long been a constant in his life, so has the Boys & Girls Club, which Bowlin first joined as a kindergartner at Deerfield Elementary School.

At the Club’s Deerfield Elementary School site, he found a warm,

welcoming refuge where “I was able to just come in and be a kid,” Bowlin says, “instead of worrying about Mom or Dad.” At home, his single father, Craig Bowlin — his mother wasn’t around much back then, Zion Bowlin says — tried to shoulder the bulk of those worries. Raising a child on his own couldn’t have been easy for Craig, the younger Bowlin recognizes now, but even so, he strove to do the job right.

Every morning before school, Craig Bowlin would ask his son, “What does a leader look like?”

Being a kid, the younger Bowlin would shoot back with a sarcastic reply, that “it’s a person who leads and doesn’t follow.”

He didn’t understand the question at the time.

Years later, it’s now clear to Bowlin what a leader looks like.

“I realize it was him, because he was just always there for me,” Bowlin says of his dad. “That’s pretty much what a leader is — somebody who cares for

the Tigers, offers bachelor’s degrees in education and technological leadership.

Dennis Rittle, president of Cowley County Community College, said the education degree would require students to spend their first two years at the community college, followed by two years at FHSU. According to information from Cowley County college, the total cost of the education degree, including tuition, books and fees at both schools would actually be $16,045 for Kansas students from outside Cowley County.

But Cowley County students in the program are eligible for a $2,000 scholarship at FHSU if they finish the first two years with a grade point average of at least 3.0, or a $3,000 scholarship for those with a GPA of 3.5 or better.

Brownback said he still wants other colleges and universities to develop what he called “new pathways” to degrees at lower costs in order to reduce the amount of debt students take out for college expenses.

“Student debt is the fastest-growing area of debt in America and has now passed credit card debt,” he said. “This is a major issue across this nation.”

But higher education officials in Kansas and elsewhere say the major reason for that has been that state support for public colleges and universities has not kept pace with rising costs, and in some states funding has even been cut, forcing them to increase tuition.

Brownback last year ordered a 4 percent across-the-board cut to higher education as part

GOV. SAM BROWNBACK, ALONG WITH SEVERAL HIGHER EDUCATION OFFICIALS and lawmakers, announces a partnership between Cowley County Community College and Fort Hays State University to offer two bachelor’s degree programs that will cost less than $15,000 total. Brownback challenged the state’s higher education system to come up with such a program in his State of the State speech in January. of an allotment cut package to balance this year’s budget, and his proposed budget for the next two years does not call for restoring those funds.

At the University of Kansas, that translated to a loss of more than $10 million to both the Lawrence and KU Medical Center campuses.

Brownback blamed that on revenue shortfalls, which he says are the result of low commodity prices in the agriculture sector of the economy.

“As you know, I ran on stable funding, base funding, and we did that most years, but we’ve hit this wreck in commodity prices and we don’t have the resources,” he said. “K-12 is generally off the issues, as far as cuts. That’s half of the budget, as you know.

Medicaid is on autopilot.

It’s people that are signing up, and we’ve had 25 percent growth in Medicaid. And we had a pension system that was in (financial trouble) that’s not there now. But that

took a lot of resources.”

Board of Regents president and CEO Blake Flanders commended the two schools for coming up with the program and noted that 63 percent of college students in Kansas graduate with some level of debt, averaging about $25,000 per student.

But speaking with reporters after the news conference, he said the Regents’ top priority this legislative session is to restore the 4 percent cut from last year, and he

said without additional resources, the board may need to raise tuition rates again this spring, which could put the cost of the program above $15,000.

“We’d have to consider everything,” he said. “If the restoration doesn’t happen, we want to be able to ensure our institutions are still able to offer quality programs. So that will be a tough decision.”

European mom wonders if son-in-law is normal Dear Annie: To have one child is a pity; take my word for it. Have more.

You may be tired raising them, but you’ll be much happier later.

One of my many disappointments is the fact that I have very limited communication with my sonin-law. I am a European woman who believes that when you enter a family through marriage, you act like a family member, not like a neighbor with whom one may talk only about the weather.

I don’t expect daily calls, but I believe that if I have concerns about my daughter’s health, I should be able to talk to my son-in-law. Unfortunately, that is not possible with ‘‘Robert.’’

Today I stopped by their house to take their toddler for a walk, and I noticed that my daughter’s behavior was very manic. I was very con-

cerned about her and the children. I called Robert’s office to talk about the help my daughter needs.

She spends every moment with two children; she even sleeps with them. She gets very little rest, so I have valid concern about her health.

However, my son-inlaw doesn’t believe that I have any right to ask or to talk about ‘‘his’’ family, so when I called, he was very unpleasant and his voice became nasty. He told me that he would

Franco flick sees little promotion Actor, artist, self-professed deep-thinker and ubiquitous pop culture presence James Franco stars in the 2017 melodrama “High School Lover” (7 p.m., Lifetime, TV-14). Paulina Singer stars as a student besotted with an older famous actor (Francois Arnaud), a situation that does not sit well with her dad (Franco).

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this new Franco venture is its lack of promotion.

Unlike his ridiculous remake of ‘‘Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?’’ there wasn’t a screener or even a clip made available for review. As Jude Law’s Pius XIII observes on ‘‘The Young Pope,’’ sometimes the best publicity is no publicity at all.

O Is Kristen Stewart funny?

She hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC, TV-14), featuring musical guest Alessia Cara. ‘‘SNL’’ has a long history of recruiting hosts more for their celebrity than their comedic value. This should be an interesting test.

In some ways, it’s a win-win for Stewart. If she proves amusing, then she can take credit for being multifaceted. If not, she deserves credit for trying to break out of her mopey image from the ‘‘Twilight’’ saga and other films. She was mildly amusing in ‘‘Cafe Society,’’ but only as someone in a Woody Allen movie, where so many young performers begin to resemble each other and sound like their director.

Some years back I saw Stewart on ‘‘The Graham Norton Show,’’ where multiple guests arrive on the couch at the same time and are expected to playfully interact and exhibit a modicum of wit. She seemed out of her depth.

Tonight’s other highlights O “NFL Honors” (7 p.m., Fox) recalls the best plays and players from the recent season.

O The New York Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA action (7:30 p.m., ABC).

O Damaged Denver dogs depend on “Dr. Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet” (8 p.m., Animal Planet).

O Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner and Izzy Bizu appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14).

Cult choice Seen as a departure from popcorn movies for director Steven Spielberg, the 1985 adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel ‘‘The Color Purple’’ (6 p.m., Bounce) was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and received none. The cast includes Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Margaret Avery and Oprah Winfrey.

hang up because he knows a different story from his wife and that if I call again, that will be it. I asked him, ‘‘What will be it? What kind of husband and father are you if you don’t like to even talk about the family situation?’’ He hung up.

In the meantime, I had started having chest pains, and I told myself it would be the last time I would subject myself to such disrespectful behavior by my son-in-law.

My questions are: 1) Is this normal behavior in American society?; 2) What is wrong with honest and direct communication?; 3) When is the right time to get a third party involved to seek help if he isn’t receptive to my suggestions?

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Feb. 4: This year you could experience a profound change of perspective.

You cannot hide what is going on. If you are single, you meet people with ease. If you are attached, the two of you often spend time together at home in order to enjoy each other.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Be aware of how you project your strengths and weaknesses. You know how to lead by example. Tonight: A must show.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You are unusually focused today. Communication reveals some key information.

Tonight: Do only what you desire.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ You enjoy being around people, but today you need to slow down, rest and spend some quality time with a loved one.

Tonight: Order a pizza.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ Friends will keep you focused on having fun and socializing. Tonight: Ever playful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You might feel like the ringmaster at the circus. Tonight: Noticed wherever you are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Keep reaching out to others at a distance. Make yourself a priority. Tonight: Where you can laugh and be entertained.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

society; it’s just typical of jerks. In-law issues transcend all geographical and cultural boundaries, and as long as your daughter is married to this man, you’ll have to make the best of it.

For now, try to be cordial to your son-in-law and talk about neighborly things. In conversations with your daughter, do more listening than talking. Assure her that you love her and are there for her if she needs anything. Don’t criticize her, and especially don’t criticize her husband. That would only drive more of a wedge between you and her. You’ll be surprised by the growth you see when you pour some unobtrusive love into your relationship with your daughter and her family.

++++ Defer to a loved one.

What you come up with while brainstorming with a family member could exhaust you. Tonight: Let someone else call the shots.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Others seem ready to run with the ball, as they know which way to turn and why. You understand more than you realize.

Tonight: Make nice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ You have to accomplish your share of a project or workrelated matter. Information comes forward that you might want to pass on. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You might decide that there is a better way to enjoy time with a loved one. Allow your imagination to play into your new plans. Opt for more communication and excitement. Tonight: As you like it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Stay centered when dealing with a difficult or touchy associate. Perhaps you would prefer not to deal with this other person at all. Tonight: Head home early, if you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. Don’t cancel your plans with people; instead, just revise them. You’ll avoid hurt feelings. Tonight: Friends surround you.

Repeal tax loophole and much more The LLC loophole has come to epitomize budget-busting tax policy in Kansas. It appears that a majority in the new Kansas Legislature know the loophole must be repealed and fully intend to end it. But if viewing the situation with clear-eyed honesty, those legislators also know that loophole repeal corrects only a fraction of the problem.

To fix Kansas financially, lawmakers must produce a more comprehensive solution.

The loophole, put in place in 2012 as part of the Brownback tax experiment, set up a highly unfair tax situation. Individual Kansans who receive income through a limited liability corporation (LLC), self-employment, a farm, or rental property pay no Kansas income tax. But people who receive a paycheck do owe tax. An owner pays no tax on personal income taken from a business, yet employees of the business pay taxes.

Exempting such a large swath of income from taxation has obviously lowered receipts and contributed to financial

Duane Goossen

“

The loophole caused about one-third of the revenue loss. Income tax rate reductions, which especially benefit the wealthiest Kansans, caused the rest.”

woes in Kansas, with little economic payoff. The promise of explosive job growth failed to pan out, maybe because creating a job was never required as a condition of receiving the tax cut. Since the loophole opened, Kansas job creation has been anemic, running far behind our

region and the U.S. as a whole.

The loophole has to go. No other state does tax policy this way.

While most Kansans have figured this out, they may not realize that just killing the loophole still leaves Kansas in deep financial trouble. Thanks to the 2012 tax changes, Kansas does not have nearly enough income to pay bills. The loophole caused about one-third of the revenue loss. Income tax rate reductions, which especially benefit the wealthiest Kansans, caused the rest.

The current dire Kansas financial situation will not cure itself; nor will one-time tricks and maneuvers work. Lawmakers need a comprehensive solution that raises enough recurring revenue to meet expenses.

“Comprehensive” does not necessarily mean a complete return to pre-2012 tax law, but lawmakers at least need to consider moving the upper income tax rate back where it once was, in addition to closing the loophole. If money continues to

be siphoned from the highway fund, a higher gas tax could allow a reasonable level of road maintenance.

The governor’s proposals are of little help: borrow, sell assets, renege on retirement funding and grab even more from highways. Legislators have to produce the real solution on their own. Strategically, legislators may even need to vote against a stand-alone loophole repeal in order to force a vote on a broader revenue package. A piecemeal approach in which lawmakers cast individual votes on each potential revenue change will likely doom a comprehensive solution.

Irresponsible decisions made five years ago have left a huge mess in Kansas today. Our situation was a lot easier to get into than to unwind. Cleanup requires realistic assessment, courageous votes and comprehensive tax reform. Anything less leaves Kansas in the same downward spiral.

— Duane Goossen formerly served 12 years as Kansas budget director.

Thank God for Harry Reid Washington — There are many people to thank for the coming accession of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Donald Trump for winning the election. Hillary Clinton for losing it. Mitch McConnell for holding open the high court seat through 2016, resolute and immovable against furious (and hypocritical) opposition from Democrats and media. And, of course, Harry Reid.

God bless Harry Reid. It’s because of him that Gorsuch is guaranteed elevation to the court. In 2013, as then-Senate majority leader, Reid blew up the joint.

He abolished the filibuster for federal appointments both executive (such as Cabinet) and judicial, for all district and circuit court judgeships (excluding only the Supreme Court). Thus unencumbered, the Democratic-controlled Senate packed the lower courts with Obama nominees.

Reid was warned that the day would come when Republicans would be in the majority and would exploit the new rules to equal and opposite effect. That day is here.

The result is striking. Trump’s Cabinet appointments are essentially unstoppable because Republicans need only 51 votes and they have 52.

They have no need to reach 60, the number required to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are powerless to stop anyone on their own.

And equally powerless to stop Gorsuch. But isn’t the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees still standing?

Yes, but if the Democrats dare try it, everyone knows that Majority Leader McConnell will do exactly what Reid did and invoke the nuclear option — filibuster abolition — for the Supreme Court, too.

Reid never fully appreciated the magnitude of his crime against the Senate. As I wrote at the time, the offense was not abolishing the filibuster — you can argue that issue either way — but that he did it by simple majority. In a serious body, a serious rule change requires a serious supermajority. (Amending the U.S. Constitution, for example, requires two-thirds of both houses plus three-quarters of all the states.) Otherwise you have rendered the place lawless. If in any given session you can summon up the day’s majority to change the institution’s fundamental rules, there are no rules.

McConnell can at any moment finish Reid’s work by extending filibuster abolition to the Supreme Court.

But he hasn’t. He has neither invoked the nuclear option nor even threatened to. And he’s been asked often enough. His simple and unwavering response is that Gorsuch will be confirmed. Translation: If necessary, he will drop the big one.

It’s obvious that he prefers not to.

No one wants to again devalue and destabilize the Senate by changing a major norm by simple majority vote.

But Reid set the precedent.

Note that the issue is not the filibuster itself. There’s nothing sacred about it. Its routine use is a modern development — with effects both contradictory and unpredictable. The need for 60 votes can contribute to

Republicans are no fools.

moderation and compromise because to achieve a supermajority you need to get a buy-in from at least some of the opposition. On the other hand, in a hyper-partisan atmosphere (like today’s), a 60-vote threshold can ensure that everything gets stopped and nothing gets done.

Filibuster abolition is good for conservatives today. It will be good for liberals tomorrow when they have regained power. There’s no great principle at stake, though as a practical matter, in this era of widespread frustration with congressional gridlock, the new norm may be salutary.

What is not salutary is the Reid precedent of changing the old norm using something so transient and capricious as the majority of the day. As I argued in 2015, eventually the two parties will need to work out a permanent arrangement under which major rule changes will require a supermajority (say, of two-thirds) to ensure substantial bipartisan support.

There are conflicting schools of thought as to whether even such a grand bargain could not itself be overturned by some future Congress — by simple majority led by the next Harry Reid. Nonetheless, even a problematic entente is better than the free-for-all that governs today.

The operative word, however, is “eventually.” Such an agreement is for the future. Not yet, not today.

Republicans are no fools. They are not about to forfeit the advantage bequeathed to them by Harry Reid’s shortsighted willfulness. They will zealously retain the nuclear option for Supreme Court nominees through the current Republican tenure of Congress and the presidency.

After which, they should be ready to parlay and press the reset button.

But only then. As the young Augustine famously beseeched the Lord, “Give me chastity and continency, only not yet.”

Chicken

the former location of Burger Fi. Not long ago, though, the business’ Facebook page announced the location was changing to the spot above the tavern John Brown Underground on East Seventh Street. (Yes, across the street from my office.)

Then, more recently, the business posted on Facebook again that it was back at 918 Massachusetts, but its name was changing to Harold’s.

You may remember that Harold’s was a small fried chicken restaurant in the gas station building near Sixth and Kasold in west Lawrence. As we’ve reported, Nick Wysong, of Lawrence’s Ingredient restaurant, is one of the leaders of the group opening Wake the Dead. He also was the guy who opened Harold’s.

I talked to Wysong Friday afternoon, and he said he plans to begin frying chicken and doughnuts next week. He may even set aside a day to give free doughnuts away late in the week, he said. As for the name change, he said after the Journal-World ran the original article about Wake the Dead, he heard from a lot of people who said they really loved Harold’s Fried Chicken.

That feedback caused him to reconsider changing the name. It also sounds like the ownership group that had come together to create the Wake the Dead concept

l If you are keeping track at home, the Zaxby’s opening may be the end of the chicken rush for awhile. All the other chain restaurants that have announced plans for Lawrence already have opened.

Those include: Chick-filA, Wing Stop, Popeyes, Raising Cane’s, and Slim Chickens, although Slim Chickens has filed plans for a second Lawrence location. As we have reported, that location would be along south Iowa Street where BarbWire’s Steakhouse previously was located.

There is probably at least one more chicken restaurant development to keep an eye on. We reported in early January about plans for Wake the Dead: Chicken, Whiskey, Donuts to open at 918 Massachusetts St. in

A:

Sunrise Sunset Moonrise Moonset

Chicken fingers, chicken wings, chicken sandwiches and an indiscriminate use of the letter ‘z’ are hallmarks of Zaxby’s menu. Chicken fingers are “fingerz,” salads are “zalads” and appetizers are “zappetizers.” The menu also includes about five dipping sauces ranging from marinara to its signature zak sauce. Also available are about 10 wing sauces ranging from mild to “insanely” hot.

is no longer fully intact.

What hasn’t changed, though, is the restaurant still will serve fried chicken, doughnuts and whiskey. The restaurant’s website has a menu now. It lists about 20 doughnut flavors, including some traditional maple-glazed ones, but also more unusual ones such as an Arnold Palmer, an Oreo explosion, pink champagne pistachio, and something called The Elvis.

Beyond doughnuts, the restaurant lists a handful of fried chicken dinners, chicken wings, a Louisiana catfish plate and about a half-dozen dipping sauces, including country gravy. Sides seem to be fairly traditional with potatoes and gravy, mac ‘n’ cheese, coleslaw, a few salad options, french fries and even chicken noodle soup among the options.

Yes, some of you who ate at the old Harold’s may remember the Grilled Glazer sandwich, which was a toasted maple glazed doughnut topped with fried chicken, cheese and a secret sauce. That too is on the menu, and so is hamburger version of that concoction.

Look for the restaurant to open soon, according to the latest info on the company’s Facebook page.

The sanctions — which have been in the pipeline for months — said nothing about the Iranian nuclear deal, which Trump attacked during the campaign but has shown no signs of voiding.

Smith did say that “we will continue to actively apply all available tools, including financial sanctions, to address this behavior.”

MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

President Trump tweeted Friday that Iran “is playing with fire — they don’t appreciate how ‘kind’ President Obama was.”

The sanctions affect 13 Iranian individuals and 12 companies, freezing any property or funds they may have under U.S. jurisdiction. The Treasury Department also said that “U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions” with those on the sanctions list.

Trump signaled the sanctions with an early morning tweet: “Iran is playing with fire — they don’t appreciate how ‘kind’ President Obama was to them.

Just days after the White House pledged to uphold federal LGBT workplace protections, activists say they fear something more ominous is in the works — an executive order that could in essence legalize discrimination.

Evidence of ‘lost continent’ found beneath Indian Ocean

Crystals on Mauritius much older than it is Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Forget Atlantis.

Scientists have uncovered evidence of an ancient “lost continent” under the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, according to a new study.

The continent, which geologists call “Mauritia,” formed part of present-day Madagascar

and India.

The rest of the continent probably sank beneath the sea 84 million years ago.

“We are studying the breakup process of the continents, in order to understand the geological history of the planet,” said study lead author Lewis Ashwal of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.

The continent was likely part of the gigantic supercontinent Gondwana.

Gondwana broke up to become Antarctica, Africa, Australia and South America.

The clue to the discovery was finding an ancient mineral on

SUSAN J. WEBB, UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND

Volcanic mountains rise in the background of this view of a Mauritius beachfront.

Mauritius that shouldn’t have been there.

By studying the mineral zircon, which is found in rocks spewed up by lava during volcanic eruptions, Ashwal and his colleagues discovered remnants of this mineral that were much too old to belong on the island of Mauritius.

“Earth is made up of two parts — continents, which are old, and oceans, which are ‘young,’” he said.

On continents, rocks can be billions of years old, but nothing that old exists in the oceans, Ashwal explained.

Mauritius is only a few mil-

lion years old, while some recently discovered zircon crystals on the island were estimated at 3 billion years old.

“The fact that we have found zircons of this age proves that there are much older crustal materials under Mauritius that could only have originated from a continent,” according to Ashwal.

The study said there are likely many pieces of various sizes of undiscovered continent, collectively called “Mauritia,” spread over the Indian Ocean.

The study appeared in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature Communications.

Travel block revokes thousands of visas Justice Department to challenge judge’s restraining order Bart Jansen and Melanie Eversley USA TODAY

The State Department said Friday fewer than 60,000 visas were revoked in the week since President Trump suspended travel arrivals for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.

The figure contradicted a Justice Department lawyer, who said in U.S. District Court on Friday that 100,000 visas were revoked, according to news reports from CNN and The Washington Post.

Later Friday, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Washington state issued a nationwide restraining order blocking the travel ban. In issuing his decision, Robart sided with Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who argued the order is causing significant harm to residents and effectively mandates discrimination.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer released a statement Friday night saying the Department of Justice would seek an emergency stay of this “outrageous order.”

“The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people,” Spicer

said.

The revocation number was revealed in a Virginia court case involving two Yemeni brothers denied entry when they arrived at Dulles International Airport following Trump’s Jan. 27 order.

The executive action barred travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni told Judge Leonie Brinkema that 100,000 visas had been rejected, according to CNN and the Post.

Visas are temporary permits to enter the U.S. Reuveni said no legal permanent residents, or

green-card holders, have been denied entry.

“The number 100,000 sucked the air out of my lungs,” Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg of the Legal Aid Justice Center told the Post.

The State Department clarified that the higher figure used by the Justice Department lawyer included diplomatic and other visas that were exempted by the travel ban, as well as expired visas.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who won approval from the court on Friday to participate in the Dulles case, said Trump’s “unlawful, unconstitutional, and un-American immigration ban is causing real harm as we speak to Virginia families, students, businesses, and our colleges and universities.”

Administration officials have said the 90-day pause in arrivals is necessary to review and perhaps tighten the visa vetting process.

But the order sparked protests at airports across the country and opposition from corporate leaders who said it would hurt their businesses.

The State Department issued more than 600,000 immigrant visas last year, including 7,727 visas to Iranians, 3,660 to Iraqis, 383 to Libyans, 1,797 to Somalians, 2,606 to Sudanese, 2,633 to Syrians and 12,998 to Yemenis.

ballistic missile test as well as supporting a rebel group in Yemen known as the Houthis.

The Treasury Department said in a statement that “this action reflects the United States’ commitment to enforcing sanctions on Iran with respect to its ballistic missile program and destabilizing activities in the region.”

“The new administration will realize that threatening Iran will not work.”

Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Iran has denied that its missile tests violate United Nations regulations and generally mocked the president over his criticism.

“This is not the first time when an inexperienced man is threatening Iran,” Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told the Tasnim news agency this week. “The new administration of America will realize that threatening Iran will not work, and empty and baseless ranting should be stopped.”

The financial restrictions are outside of the nuclear

agreement in which the United States and allies drew down sanctions on Iran as it agreed to give up the means to make nuclear weapons. While Trump has questioned whether the agreement can be verified, the Treasury Department said these new sanctions deal with Iran’s missile activity and alleged support for terrorist groups.

The agreement dealt only with nuclear-related sanctions; other restrictions involving Iranian financial transactions remain.

The sanctioned individuals and companies have been linked to Iran’s missile program and/or proxies for terrorist activity, such as Houthis, officials said. They have been identified through an ongoing review of Iranian activity that goes back to the Obama administration.

The Treasury Department is being led by Acting Secretary Adam J. Szubin, a holdover from the Obama administration who has been involved in sanction activity.

Trump’s nominee to lead the department, Steve Mnuchin, is awaiting confirmation by the Senate.

“These kinds of sanctions don’t happen quickly,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said but were triggered by an Iranian missile test and Houthi activities.

executive order is needed. “In recent years, people of faith have experienced measurable pressure from government entities to engage in activities that violate their deeply held religious beliefs,” he said. “We welcome President Trump’s sincere efforts to alleviate government-sponsored compulsion and do what he can to ensure true freedom of conscience.”

Amid the fury lands a study from MAP, a think tank that researches LGBT issues, that paints a disconcerting portrait of the LGBT community’s battle for equality at the state level and highlights a glaring deficit of legal protections for those who are transgender.

Twenty-three states — almost half the nation — have more laws on the books that harm rather than help transgender people, the study released Friday shows.

“The absolute lack of protections for transgender people across the U.S. and the breadth of challenges they face,” is the No. 1 takeaway from the report on 2016 laws, Mushovic said.

draft of Trump’s executive order stands, “it would provide a sweeping license to discriminate, gut women’s health care and provide targeted tax incentives only available to those who wish to lobby against LGBT people and women’s reproductive health care,” she said.

The study’s stark stats are alarming, Mushovic said: There were about 200 anti-LGBT bills introduced in 2016 in more than 20 states.

While the MAP study does show progress several states have made — California has the best protections; Washington, D.C., is next — Alex Sheldon, the report’s author, noted 15 states have more than 40 pieces of anti-LGBT legislation in the works in 2017.

“Bathroom bills” — legislation that seeks to regulate access to restrooms by transgender people over perceived threats of safety — captured most of the headlines in 2016, particularly North Carolina’s HB2 law that requires individuals to use facilities corresponding with the sex on their birth certificate. After months of upheaval in the state that saw canceled sporting events and concerts, lawsuits and an ousted governor, an attempt to repeal the law failed in December.

“People think what’s the big deal; it’s just a restroom,” Mushovic said. “But there is an incredible limiting effect on how transgender people can live their lives. They have to plan their day on where they can find a genderneutral restroom.”

Hunter Schafer of Raleigh, N.C., holds a sign in favor of repealing the HB2 law that requires individuals to use facilities corresponding with the sex on their birth certificate. bally harassed or physically assaulted in a public place.

ON THE FRONT LINES

Alaina Kupec, whose wife calls her an “accidental activist” for transgender rights, said the revelations in the MAP survey are agonizing but not unexpected. “It’s so disheartening; it almost brings tears to my eyes,” Kupec said. “It’s local ignorance on the part of politicians to appease their Christian, conservative base.”

Kupec, 47, transitioned from her gender assigned at birth (male) to female in 2013. Her battle to come to terms with her identity “was a lifelong struggle. I knew I was different, but I didn’t know why I was different, or what about me was different.”

It wasn’t until she was a newly married intelligence officer in the Navy with a top-secret clearance that she had an epiphany. “Oh my God, there are other people who feel this way; there’s a word for it; there’s a term: transgender.”

Kupec said she first tried to “suppress and compartmentalize” her feelings. But reluctantly she left the military when the burden became overwhelming and she knew she could not “live my life as a lie any longer.”

Now, living in Chapel Hill, N.C., she is at ground zero of the bathroom battles. She calls the state’s HB2 law a “ruse. ... The whole legal premise is to deny the existence of transgender people.”

Kupec, who filmed a public service spot on HB2 in which she is confronted by a restaurant owner who won’t let her enter the women’s room, said before the law she never worried about restrooms.

That has changed. “For the last year, I have had to use public restrooms in fear of confrontation, physical harm or even arrest. I even canceled my gym membership,” she said.

COURT RULING BACKLASH

The uptick in anti-LGBT legislation is driven by a backlash to a landmark 2015 Supreme Court ruling upholding same-sex marriage, Mushovic said.

“I think once that ruling came down, those who opposed LGBT people needed a new front to attack. So few know someone who is transgender.”

Blue Montana, a transgender program manager for The Center in Las Vegas, couldn’t agree more.

Legislation such as bathroom bills “has nothing to do with gender,” he says. “It’s from someone who is intolerant and ignorant.

There are no reports of a transgender person doing anything in a bathroom. All the fear is unsubstantiated.”

Montana, who enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17, started the transition from his gender assigned at birth (female) to male after an honorable discharge in 2005. He has felt the sting of discrimination first hand, being de-

nied an apartment rental. And now, “I’m 41 and scared of going to the bathroom.”

The reverberations for transgender youths are devastating, the activists said. The MAP study shows 75% of transgender students feel unsafe at school and 70% say they avoid bathrooms.

GOING FORWARD

Wednesday, more than 400 national faith leaders sent a letter to Trump, who touted religious freedom on the campaign trail, imploring him not to sign an executive order allowing religious exemptions.

The transgender community could be hit hard with such an order, said Sarah Warbelow of the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT rights advocacy group.

“Organizations that receive money from the federal government to provide critical services ... could turn transgender people away,” she said. “They could try to force transgender youths to go through conversion therapy, which is an incredibly dangerous practice discounted as an illegitimate form of therapy.”

Although Montana is advising clients to be vigilant and get passports now to reflect their identity before any changes in the law, he said he feels hope because of one overarching fact: “You can’t erase your existence. We are not going anywhere. ... Nobody can ever force me back into that closet.”

JOLTS survey gives true look at labor market Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

The better-than-expected 227,000 job gains reported by the Labor Department on Friday heartened economists and drove stocks higher. But a more obscure government jobs survey reveals what’s really going on in the sprawling labor market.

Labor’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) announces the number of job openings, hires and quits each month. Tuesday, the department will release the tallies for December, when the economy added a more modest 157,000 jobs.

That count, however, represents net payroll gains after figuring all layoffs and new hires.

Theoretically, job growth could

be solid simply because employers are shedding fewer workers, even if hiring is tepid. The JOLTS report breaks out the number of hires separately.

In November, hires rose to 5.2 million, a healthy level but below the 5.5 million reached in February.

It also lagged November’s 5.5 million job openings. Hires have lagged openings, in part because the low 4.8% unemployment rate has made it tougher for employers to find skilled workers.

And while openings were plentiful, they have fallen from the record 5.8 million in July.

Perhaps the best news is that the number of quits — which mostly reflects employees switching jobs — has stayed near prerecession highs at 3 million as the tight labor market provides workers more leverage and job opportunities.

Treasury pick Mnuchin sued in renewed fraud case Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

President Trump’s treasury secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin was accused in a renewed Hollywood movie industry-related fraud case late Thursday, even as the multimillionaire businessman appeared poised to become the nation’s top economic official.

Mnuchin and 11 other defendants made “repeated misrepresentations” about a film

MARK WILSON, GETTY IMAGES

Steven Mnuchin is named in a film industry fraud lawsuit.

investment deal designed to misappropriate millions from investors in a scheme to “prop up a

failing media company” in which Mnuchin had a management role, according to the new lawsuit.

Brought by RKA Film Financing LLC, the lawsuit alleges the scheme was misleadingly billed as a low-risk investment solely to fund print and advertising expenses for major films..

In reality, the lawsuit charged, much of RKA’s $81 million investment was used to pay salaries, bonuses, debts and other corporate expenses for Relativity Media, a movie company in which Mnuchin partnered with film producer and financier Ryan

Kavanaugh — who was also named in the new lawsuit.

While on Relativity’s board, Mnuchin also was CEO and chair of OneWest Bank Group, which invested $160 million in the media firm, the lawsuit charged.

“All of the defendants knew that Relativity was a failing enterprise” and were aware that funds lent by RKA would be used to shore up the financially troubled company, said the lawsuit, which seeks more than $110 million in damages.

Relativity sought federal bankruptcy court protection in 2015.

The lawsuit accused Mnuchin of using his dual role to sweep $50 million from Relativity’s accounts before the bankruptcy to help recoup OneWest’s investment. Some of that money was RKA’s, the lawsuit charged.

A New York justice dismissed the case last year but left the door open for RKA to refile.

“The claims against Steven Mnuchin are the same frivolous claims,” spokesman Barney Keller said Friday.

Relativity has called the charges “baseless and totally without merit.”

Not a fan of ‘La La Land’? Try these movie musicals instead

MAKING WAVES

COMEDY CENTRAL

Even the creators of ‘South Park’ have Trump fatigue. On Friday, Matt Stone and Trey Parker told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation the 21st season will feature less presidential politics.

“We were really trying to make fun of what was going on,” Parker said, “but we couldn’t keep up. What was actually happening was way funnier than anything we could come up with. So, we decided to just kind of back off and let them do their comedy and we’ll do ours.”

STYLE STAR Rita Ora lightened up the red carpet at Thursday’s Los Angeles premiere of ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ in a floral gown from Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2017 Couture collection.

Not everyone is besotted with La La Land.

Damien Chazelle’s plucky modern musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling is a box-office smash ($110 million to date) and awards darling, earning a record-tying 14 Academy Award nominations, including best picture. But backlash against the crowd-pleaser has steadily escalated online, with some critics calling the film’s winking callbacks to classic movies such as Singin’ in the Rain and On the Town both distracting and unoriginal, and its leading duo’s song-and-dance routines forgettable. If you don’t like your movie musicals steeped in nostalgia, USA TODAY’s Patrick Ryan offers five entirely original picks that are now in theaters or available to watch at home.

MOULIN ROUGE! (2001)

Baz Luhrmann’s splashy, tragic romance starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is partially responsible for reviving the movie musical, earning eight Oscar nominations (including best picture) and $179 million worldwide, despite barely breaking even stateside ($57.4 million on a $50 million budget).

The film even spawned a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart: a racy rendition of Patti LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade

by Christina Aguilera, Mya, Pink and Lil’ Kim.

PALKA ROBERT

THE LURE (2017)

FILMMAGIC

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “I’ve had women — average women, older women, teenagers — who say to me, ‘Your role and this show has changed my life.’ That makes all the struggle, all the ramen noodles, all the times when I couldn’t pay my bills, all the times where I was like, ‘I can’t do this,’ worth it.” — ‘This Is Us’ star Chrissy Metz, who told ‘Glamour’ she had 81 cents to her name the day she was cast in the hit NBC drama.

WHERE TO WATCH: Amazon

In this lurid reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, teenage mermaids (Marta Mazurek and Michalina Olszanska) fall for a guitarist (Jakub Gierszał) and become maneating strippers in ’80s-era Poland. “Possibly the weirdest thing you’ll see this year,” Dazed magazine wrote of the Polish-language horror musical (with English subtitles), which washed ashore at Sundance Film Festival last year.

WHERE TO WATCH: Now playing in New York; expands to 11 additional cities throughout February and March, including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Dallas and San Francisco.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

You may be more familiar with John Carney’s other movie musicals: 2007’s Once, whose Falling Slowly took best original song at the Academy Awards; and last year’s Sing Street, a retro comingof-age romp that became a critical sensation. But the Irish filmmaker’s underrated Begin Again is equally charming, with winning performances from Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo as an unlikely musical duo who hit the streets of New York to record an album.

WHERE TO WATCH: iTunes, Amazon Video, YouTube, Vudu, Google Play

ROMANCE & CIGARETTES (2005)

John Turturro’s romantic musical comedy bombed, netting just $557,500 in the USA and 54% positive reviews on aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com from critics, who dismissed it as “a classic awful” and “little fun to watch.” Still, it’s worth revisiting if only for its star-studded cast, led by the late James Gandolfini, who plays a chain-smoking steel worker torn between his wife (Susan Sarandon) and mistress (Kate Winslet).

WHERE TO WATCH: iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu

A Czech immigrant (Björk) working at a factory in 1960s Washington to save money for her son’s (Vladica Kostic) eye surgery may seem like unusual terrain for a drama where characters break into song. But with a soundtrack written almost entirely by the Icelandic singer and a sweeping narrative written and directed by Lars von Trier (Melancholia), the polarizing Danish musical picked up the Palme d’Or, Cannes Film Festival’s highest honor, a best actress Golden Globe nod for Björk and a best original song Oscar nomination for I’ve Seen It All.

NOTE As of Jan. 30 SOURCE StubHub TERRY BYRNE AND KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

So you know those people who seem to think our big cities are all just one huge crime cesspool, and the only way to fix them is TV PREVIEW to let the cops run ROBERT wild?

BIANCO Detritus like Training Day (CBS, Thursdays, 10 ET/PT, eEEE out of four) could be where they’re getting the idea.

Even if you don’t believe that, there are other excellent reasons to avoid this latest failed attempt to cash in on a popular movie title. This show, set 15 years after the events of the 2001 Denzel Washington film, is yet another sequel trying to get by without the film’s Oscarwinning star. And producers have an unfortunate knack for hiring fine actors and then either completely wasting them or, as in the case of star Bill Paxton, allowing or encouraging them to indulge in their worst scenery-chewing instincts.

In this version of the story, which owes as much to The Shield as it does to the original film, Paxton plays detective Frank Rourke, the dedicated head of a rogue LAPD special unit.

MICHAEL YARISH, CBS

Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell, left) and Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) run roughshod over L.A. in CBS’ Training Day. His new trainee, Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell), is an idealistic young African-American — a racial reversal on the movie’s pairing of Washington with Ethan Hawke that either counts as a new idea or as a return to stereotypical cop show form.

Frank (who is flawed, but of course heroic) is willing to accept the training assignment because

Kyle is the son of his late, beloved partner. He doesn’t know Kyle’s actually a spy for Deputy Chief Joy Lockhart (Marianne JeanBaptiste), who’s determined to take down Frank.

And Joy doesn’t know Kyle’s real goal is to learn who was responsible for his father’s death.

But first he must learn, to paraphrase one of Frank’s rules, that

police work is like sex: It’s a lot better if it’s not pretty. According to Frank, that means it’s fine to set a suspect’s house on fire, or torture a man by zapping his testicles with an electric charge, or do anything to make sure that people Frank believes unworthy of trials don’t get one.

Cornwell does the best with what he’s given, but no actor should be given as many variations on “I will not go along with this” as he is.

If you need a new drinking game, just try counting them.

With Paxton, on the other hand, it’s hard to tell whether he’s working too hard or enjoying himself too much.

Every scene seems to bounce between crazed and earnest with half the lines delivered in a soft breathy tone designed to make even the silliest seem fraught with meaning. Like everything else in the show, including an homage to the Alamo, it doesn’t work.

But hey, there’s a decent movie out there by the same name. Its message may not be much more pro-social, but it does have Washington.

Renting that would be a much better idea.

Douglas County Conservation District Conservation Edition

Special advertising focus of the Lawrence Journal-World

DOUGLAS COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Conservation Districts have been part of the Kansas landscape since 1938.

Today, Conservation Districts have a presence in each of the state’s 105 counties, yet many people are still not aware of the valuable services we provide. Working closely with, and often co-located in the same building with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) at the USDA Service Center, it is easy to think we are all part of one large agency. We are not.

Conservation Districts are the primary local unit of government responsible for the conservation of soil, water, and related natural resources within a county’s boundaries. It is important to remember the funding we receive from state and local governments stays within the county, supporting producers, landowners, and contractors implementing conservation practices. The

funding also supports education and outreach efforts for children and adults of all ages with most events free to the public.

We have been busy. During the past 10 years the Douglas County Conservation District has helped more than 200 landowners and producers install a variety of conservation practices on their land. We have provided more than 5,000 free soil tests through K-State Extension during this same period. In 2016 alone, the District hosted or took part in more than 35 events engaging more than 11,000 children and adults.

We believe we provide a great service to the county and hope you do too. For more information on District programs, contact the office at 785-843-4260 extension 129.

WILDLIFE AWARD: BAKER WETLANDS

In 1968 the federal government transferred 573 acres of federal surplus land in the floodplain of the Wakarusa River to Baker University.

The area had been known for decades by locals as the Haskell Bottoms, but soon became known as the Baker Wetlands. Baker University’s intent was to use the area for part of its education and research mission and to convert the crop fields and pasture back to native habitat.

After several decades of controversy surrounding the completion of K-10 around the south side of Lawrence, Baker University decided to work with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) to develop a compromise that would bring closure to the K-10 project and at the same time expand and improve the Wetlands for the benefit of the community and the organisms that call the wetlands home.

Baker University transferred 56 acres of their restored wetlands to KDOT, but in return a multifaceted mitigation project was created to greatly enhanced wildlife habitat.

Dr. Roger Boyd, Professor Emeritus of Biology and his son, Jon Boyd, Director of Wetlands, both working at Baker University, formed a partnership with KDOT and the road project contractor, Emery Sapp & Sons to restore 310 acres of floodplain farm ground back to wetlands.

They also began the process of restoring 73 acres to prairie and establishing 27 acres of woodland along the Wakarusa River.

In addition to prairie and wetland restoration, there are over 10 miles of trails for visitors to explore and four well-positioned parking lots to gain access to these trails.

KDOT established trails that connect to 5 existing trails in Lawrence as well as Broken Arrow Park and Prairie Park Nature Center.

The expanded Baker Wetlands will now consist of 927 acres. While the original Baker Wetlands were highly diverse, this expansion has increased the number of species of wildlife in the area. Over 285 species of birds and over 95 vertebrate species have been identified on the area as well as over 485 species of plants. This number is likely to continue to increase as the restorations mature over the next 20 to 30 years.

To many, the jewel of the project has been the construction of the Baker Wetlands Discovery Center located at 1365 N. 1250 Rd. The 11,800 sq. ft. building

is designed with community outreach as its main function. Baker University currently has an MBA class that meets there weekly and students from the Baldwin Campus also use the facility for classes and research projects. The main part of the facility consists of displays that demonstrate the value and function of wetlands to the public. There is also information about the Wetlands Time Line, organisms to look for in the wetlands, some examples of those plants and animals, how the restoration process works, the energy efficiency of the building, animal skins and skulls to handle, and a scavenger hunt for the kids. It is largely powered by solar cells on the south side of the building. It is heated and cooled by a large geothermal system and has an amazing view out over a portion of the wetlands.

In addition to the display area, there is also a large classroom, a smaller conference room, and a gift shop.

The facility opened in October 2015 and has already been used by a wide variety of groups with over 11,000 visitors during the first year of operation. Admission is free but the facilities can be rented for a variety of functions.

The Baker Wetlands is owned and operated by Baker University located in Baldwin City, Ks. Hours of operation and more information about the site can be found on their website at www.Bakeru.edu/wetlands. For more information about reserving the building for your function contact them at 785-594-4700.

TECHNICIAN DUTIES AND CONSERVATION PLANNING Gullies? Ditches? Filled in waterway? Broken tile pipe? Leaky pond? Unreliable water source?

Underproductive pasture? Any other resource concerns?

Call your county technician to come to your property to evaluate and work with you to address any conservation issues or concerns you may have. The Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) and your Conservation District uses science-based technology to provide conservation planning and assistance to land owners to benefit the soil, water, air, plants, and animals for productive lands and healthy ecosystems.

Soil Conservation Technicians assist in the implementation of total resource management system plans and provide assistance in conservation planning.

They are responsible for surveying, staking, information gathering, designing, engineering plan preparation, and construction inspection. They also: • Assist individuals or groups of decision makers, communities, conservation districts, units of State and local government, tribes, and others to voluntarily

conserve, maintain, and improve natural resources.

• Provide community, watershed, and area-wide technical assistance in collaboration with local units of government, to develop and implement resource management plans that conserve, maintain and improve natural resources • Assist agricultural producers to comply with the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation Compliance Provisions of the 1985 Food Security Act, as amended • Assist decision-makers to comply with Federal, State, tribal, and local environmental regulations and related requirements, and to prepare them to become eligible to participate in other Federal, State, and local conservation programs • Provide soils information and interpretation to individuals or groups of decision makers, communities, States, and others to aid sound decision making in the wise use and management of soil resources • Collect, analyze, interpret, display, and disseminate information about the status, condition, and trend of

soil, water, and related natural resources so that people can make informed decisions for natural resource use and management • Assess the effects of conservation practices and systems on the condition of natural resources Even if you don’t have any immediate conservation issues to address, the technician can come out to create a conservation plan. A conservation plan is a record of resource use decisions you have made. It serves as a record of your conservation decisions and provides a way to track your progress in carrying them out. Your conservation plan helps you know the state of the soil, water, and related resources on your land, how these resources serve you, which conservation practices are in place, and which practices are still needed. It is meant to be actively used and updated, and is a working document that can change as your operation changes.

Your Douglas County Conservation Technician is Steven Hallstrom. He can be reached at 785-843-4260 x132.

Douglas County Conservation District Conservation Edition

Special advertising focus of the Lawrence Journal-World

DOUGLAS COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICTPROMOTING EDUCATION 2016 has been an exciting year for conservation education in Douglas County.

A highlight of the year was the Douglas County Water Festival. Over 700 fifth grade students from Douglas County participated in a series of hands-on activities. This joint effort was led by the Douglas County Conservation District, (DCCD) with funding help from the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council, and hosted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake. Nearby conservation districts, the Kansas Water Office, the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks, Douglas County Extension, the Wakarusa Valley Historical Museum and a number of groups within the University of Kansas all joined together to help students learn about water quality, water quantity and water history in Douglas County.

The Douglas County Conservation District was awarded a grant from the Elizabeth Schultz Environmental Fund through the Douglas County Community Foundation to help establish a pollinator garden on the grounds of the USDA Service Center in Lawrence. Through signage and plantings, we provide education to visitors on plants and practices that will encourage increased awareness of pollinators and the small steps everyone can do to help increase pollinator numbers.

“We All Need Trees” was the theme of the annual Poster, Essay and Limerick Contest this past year.

Students from four schools in Douglas County submitted entries focused on this theme. The winning students and their art will be featured at the DCCD Annual Meeting

on February 9th. The theme for 2017 will be “Healthy Soils Are Full of Life”. Entries are due September 15th.

Contact our office for an entry form, or check out the website www.douglasccd.com.

Throughout 2016 the DCCD has been invited to classrooms, school gardens, and numerous conservation events to help spread the conservation word. In 2017 our goal is provide even more outreach and education.

Educational kits are available free of charge on a range of topics including soil and water conservation and other environmental concerns. The DCCD is ready to help any Douglas County educator advance conservation education, just give the office a call.

Adults are also included in the DCCD Education program. The new series of lectures entitled “Conservation Conversations” has presented a wide range of topics this year. From “Food Forests”, to High Tunnels to Agricultural Lease Laws we strive to offer information on a topic of interest to all those who live in Douglas County. Subscribe to our e-newsletter and friend us on Facebook to keep up with our happenings.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” We here at the District encourage you to invest your time in learning more about conservation. Contact Sue Ann Funk, the DCCD Education and Outreach Coordinator at Sue. Funk@ks.nacdnet.net or (785) 843-4260, ext. 128 to start investing today.

RCCP AND KANSAS FOREST SERVICE The Kansas Forest Service works statewide to support land management that benefits both private forest resources and public water quality. Landowners wishing to engage in forestry-related conservation activities can receive professional consultation and technical assistance from our foresters at no charge. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that funding is currently available to help landowners pay for projects that improve their woodlands and protect their waterways.

The Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) provides financial assistance for qualifying landowner projects within targeted watersheds. Project

areas in Douglas County include the Upper Wakarusa watershed in the western half of the county and the Hillsdale watershed in the southeast corner of the county.

Practices include: improving existing woodlands and riparian forests, installing cattle-exclusion fence, planting trees and shrubs, creating streamside filter strips, and more. Up to 90% of the total costs associated with this work can be covered by RCPP. The program is a collaborative effort between many federal, state, and local groups and agencies that bring technical and financial resources to Kansas farmers and landowners. Applications for assistance are continuously

accepted, reviewed and approved throughout the year. The process involves the development of a land management plan in collaboration with a Kansas Forest Service forester who performs site visits, evaluates resource concerns, and discusses management options with landowners.

For more information on the program contact Jarran Tindle with the Kansas Forest Service at 785-532-3340.

There is also more information available online at the following websites: www.nrcs.usda.gov and www.kansasforests.org.

KNOWING YOUR SOILS!

Whether you are farming thousands of acres or simply have a small backyard garden, it is important to know some basic information about your soils. Most farmers and gardeners have a general idea of what type of soils they have due to planting, harvesting, and working the ground for many years. It doesn’t take too long to figure out where those wet, rocky, or clayey areas are; or where the good high yielding soils are versus more marginal areas. But what if you want to know something more or you are thinking of buying some new land that you are not familiar with? Your soil survey is a great place to start!

Many people are fairly familiar with their published county soil survey.

Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, soil scientists walked the land, digging holes, and mapping the different soil types that occurred across the state. The soil survey for the entire state of Kansas was completed when the Washington County soil survey

was finished in 1993. These original soil surveys were good and provided great information for general planning purposes. Now, due to advances in computers and technology, your official soil survey information is provided via the Internet using the Web Soil Survey computer application.

Although some people feel more comfortable using the old hard copy county soil survey to look up their soils information, the Web Soil Survey is not difficult to use. Web Soil Survey provides the user with the most up-to-date soils information available and is free and downloadable.

So how do you get started with Web Soil Survey?

First, go to the Web Soil Survey homepage at http://websoilsurvey.nrcs. usda.gov/ and click on the large green button that says “Start WSS” or simply search for it using your favorite web search engine. Next, you will need to navigate to the area you are interested in.

There are numerous options for this, but the easiest, and most commonly used, is by address or by PLSS (Public Land Survey System), if the section, township, and range are known. Once you have navigated to the area you are interested in, you must define your area of interest (AOI). This is done simply by selecting an “AOI” button to draw a rectangle or irregular polygon that defines the AOI. After this is done, the rest is simply clicking on various tabs to find the soils information that is desired.

There is a “Soil Map” tab that will display the soils map with legend. Also, there is a “Soil Data Explorer” tab that allows the user to create different soil reports or create maps for various properties or interpretations. There is a lot of information available and the user will likely feel a little overwhelmed. The best thing to do is click around, explore, and see what is all there.

Once you find the information you want, you can add it to the shopping

cart. Unlike most shopping carts online, this one is free. Keep adding any other reports, interpretations, or maps that you want. Once done, you are able to create a customized report of all the soils information in the shopping cart. Instead of having a large county wide soil survey that has lots of information that may not pertain to your farm, you have a soil survey of only the soils information you want for just your farm or your area of interest all in one document.

For more information on using Web Soil Survey, visit the Web Soil Survey Web site at http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda. gov/ or visit your local NRCS office.

For more information, visit the Kansas NRCS Web site www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov/ programs or your local U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Service Center. To find a service center near you, check on the Internet at offices.usda.gov. Follow us on Twitter @NRCS_Kansas. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

SOIL CONSERVATION AWARD: GLENN ROCKERS Glenn Rockers has been farming and running an excavating business most of his life.

On his property near Baldwin City Kansas, Glenn has installed just about every type of conservation practice imaginable, from terraces and tile to CRP and waterways to ponds and native grasses. This includes a front yard growing native grasses rather than a lawn.

Purchasing the property where he lives in 1985 was a dream come true for Glenn.

He remembers as a young boy growing up in Baldwin City looking at the property and hoping someday he would own it.

Including the homestead, he now owns approximately 450 acres of farm ground throughout the county.

In addition to the conservation work incorporated into his farm, Glenn also is owner and operator of Rockers Excavating. If you have installed a terrace or have other dirt work done on your farm, Glenn may well have been the person you hired. He started working with his father in 1960. At that time most of the work they did was in the Centropolis and Pomona areas, and most of the work involved building ponds and a lot of commercial work. After his father passed

away, Glenn took over the business in 1968 and never looked back. He learned a lot from former Board Supervisor Lee Whaley, who helped him develop his survey and calculation skills. Eventually he got so busy he hired his brother Daryl and the two worked side-by-side until Daryl passed away in 2016.

Today most of Glenn’s work involves installing long driveways, small site work, and working on Conservation District projects. If he is working by himself Glenn says his favorite job is building terraces, but if he has a helper ponds are what he likes to build.

The District is giving the Kansas Bankers Soil Conservation Award to Glenn, not only for the conservation practices he has installed on his own farms, but because he works closely with landowners installing conservation practices on their own farms. Glenn is always available to work with conservation technicians as they lay out and design terraces and other conservation systems, he understands the conservation business, and is always ready to do the job right.

BE READY.

RANGE PLANTING TIME IS HERE!!!!

It is time to start thinking about planting native grasses. You can ask yourself this question; do I have an area that the crops are just not being productive? There are just some pieces of land that should have never been taken out of native range.

This is the time to start thinking about planting areas of your property back into native range. A native range consists of a wide variety of species.

There are warm season grasses such as Indiangrass, Big and Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, and Sideoats Grama. There can also be cool season grasses, legumes, and various wildflowers. Native range is quite diverse, and can actually have as many as 500 species of plants. We cannot recreate a native rangeland, but can restore many of the native plants.

The time for planting is coming up. If you want to plant native grasses you can start planting them December 1st and finish up May 15th. The optimum time to plant native grasses is March 15th to May 15th. You might ask yourself why I might plant native grass. Well there are more reasons then just for grazing. Grasses themselves are great for conservation practices; but they can do even more than that. Let’s take a look at what a native grass planting can create for you.

1. First thing you will be restoring the native plant community. It might not be exact but it can be close. Or you get the area to look the way that you want. Plus it will be low maintenance once the native range has been established. For warm season grasses are adapted to this area and require only good management to persist. No fertilizer inputs are needed.

2. Native range plantings provide quality forages for livestock during warm summer months. We can also adjust the native planting to meet your intended use. Many people believe tame pasture such as Brome, Fescue, and Bermudagrass are more productive due to higher potential stocking rate. That might be true, but you must consider the fertilizer inputs needed on tame pasture.

3. These native grass areas are also beneficial to the local wildlife. With the grasses you could put in some specific forbs that would enhance the wildlife even more. Then these areas would provide food as well as cover for the wildlife.

Before we even start planting you could decide on what type of wildlife you really would like to see. Then you can plant to promote for the wildlife you wish to support and or see.

4. Native grasses will also reduce erosion by water and wind and improve soil quality. So you will not need to pay for those repairs on any of your

waterways or terraces if you have native grasses planted in those unproductive croplands.

5. Native grasses also improve water quality and quantity. Let’s just say you are farming right up to a creek. If you put grass adjacent to this creek to act as a buffer. The grass will help reduce pollutants that enter the creek from your fields.

So you see there are some good reasons for you to plant native grass this next growing season for any type of operation. If you have any questions about native grasses please contact your local NRCS office for assistance.

GROWING ORCHIDS Phalaenopsis orchids, like this one, are among the most commonly found in area stores.

Shutterstock

With a little knowledge, you need not be intimidated by this exotic plant Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith

O

rchid flowers are absolutely beautiful, with delicate shapes and colors borne so intricately on the plant that each individual is a work of art. Orchids are also one of the few commonly cultivated indoor plant species that bloom in mid- to late winter, so they are especially tempting to anyone who can appreciate their beauty. Growing

orchids is different from most other houseplants but is certainly something anyone can do with a little knowledge.

The orchids most commonly found in garden centers, shows, fairs and other plant sales are Phalaenopsis species, also known as moth orchids. They have a cluster of thick, wide, flat, glossy green leaves that grow just above the

soil surface and bloom on a tall spike that benefits from being supported with a narrow rod or other plant stake. Each spike has several blossoms cascading from it. Flowers last several months and maintain a fresh appearance.

According to the American Orchid Society, there are 63 species, seven natural hybrids and many more distinct varieties of Pha-

laenopsis orchids. Differences are seen in both the leaves and flowers, with variations in size, shape and color. Flower colors may be anything from solid white to two or three color mixes of pink, purple, yellow and red with interesting speckles and striations.

Phalaenopsis orchids need less light than other orchid species and grow > ORCHIDS, 3C

How to paint parking stripes on pavement

P

ainting stripes in a parking lot is a quick and easy job when you use a 4-inch roller and a can of exterior zone marking paint.

Step 1: Standard parking spaces should be 9 feet wide and 18 feet deep. Handicap accessible spots should be a minimum of 11 feet wide and 18 feet deep to allow wheelchair access from at least one side of the vehicle. Measure the parking area and do the math to determine the optimal number of spaces for the lot. Leave at least 24 feet between rows for traffic maneuverability.

Step 2: Add up the liner feet of all the stripes to determine how much paint will be needed.

Step 3: Patch and

Fix-It Chick

Linda Cottin repair cracks and potholes in the parking area.

Apply sealant to asphalt parking surfaces before striping for an extra durable and pleasing finish.

Step 4: Sweep and clean the area to be striped. Use a pressure washer or garden hose and scrub brush to loosen and remove dirt and debris.

Step 5: For new applications, measure and mark the spaces where

the parking lines are to be painted. Otherwise, use the old lines as a guide for painting.

Step 6: Choose a calm, precipitation-free day to apply the paint. For coldweather applications, choose a sunny day when the surface temperature will be above 48 degrees.

For hot-weather applications, apply the paint in the early-morning hours when the surface temperature is lowest.

Step 7: Insert a roller grid into a five-gallon bucket and fill the bucket with marking paint.

Step 8: Slide a clean 4-inch roller cover onto a 4-inch roller frame and attach an extension pole to the handle to facilitate paint application from an upright position.

Step 9: Lay a 1-inch

by 4-inch by 8-foot or 2-inch by 4-inch by 8-foot piece of lumber alongside the area to be painted. Use the lumber as a guide for rolling the paint onto the parking surface.

Step 10: Dip the roller into the paint and roll the excess paint onto the bucket grid.

Step 11: Roll each line onto the parking surface using the lumber as a straight edge guide. Move the lumber from space to space, rolling thick, clean lines along the way.

Step 12: Allow the painted lines to dry at least 30 minutes before allowing traffic into the area.

A multicolored Phalaenopsis orchid

OPEN SATURDAY 12:30 – 2:00 PM

2017 E 30th St, Lawrence KS

Almost 1/2 acre in the Prairie Park neighborhood with cherry/apple/peach trees makes this feel like a backyard in the country. Colors and upgrades inside are all very well done. Heated bathroom floor, a hearth fireplace, new carpet and custom tile. Office between the entry and kitchen has an added bonus room over it which is currently used as another bedroom. Lots of pleasant surprises, worthy of a visit.

Repot only as needed and use media that is specific to orchids rather than general-purpose potting mixes.

Once you have mastered Phalaenopsis, you might want to try some of the other interesting and unusual orchids. Cattleya and Dendrobium orchids are next in the popularity line, but there are a great number of additional tropical species and also some lesser known and cultivated native species.

The orchid family includes more than 700 genera, 28,000 species, and 100,000 recognized cultivars overall.

KU football welcomes Class of ’18

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Expanded roster might be in order Investigations by their very definition are fluid, and when athletes are involved in them, the rosters on which they are listed potentially can change without notice.

For example, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self suspended Carlton Bragg Jr. indefinitely after he was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Bragg is on diversion and if any condition of that agreement is violated, a judge could revoke it and reinstate the charge.

The Jayhawks already lost a key player for the season when promising center Udoka Azubuike underwent wrist surgery. Somehow, without Azubuike and for the moment Bragg, Kansas has played well enough to project to a No. 2 national ranking when Monday’s poll is released and is coming off of a pair of victories against top-five teams.

What if another suspension comes? What if another player suffers an injury? Fewer blowouts have resulted in fewer minutes for walk-ons. Even so, based on limited evidence, it doesn’t seem to be as talented a group as in many years.

It’s a little late in the season to hold emergency tryouts, but if it ever comes to that, going outside the athletic department isn’t a must.

Two members of the football team who have started games in the past but don’t project as 2018 starters are rusty on the basketball court, but have exceptional athletic ability and were accomplished high school players.

At least since JaCorey Shepherd moved on to the NFL, Montell Cozart generally is the first mentioned when I from time to time ask football players to name the best basketball player on the team. Cozart averaged 18 points and six rebounds as a senior at Bishop Miege.

Derrick Neal averaged 12.7 points and 4.7 assists for a Dallas Lincoln High team that made it to the Class 4A regional quarterfinals his junior season.

Derrick’s twin brother, Erick, recorded the first triple-double (27 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists) in UT-Arlington school history last season.

Don’t forget, KU defensive back Clint Normore joined the basketball team in December of 1987 and scored seven points in the 1988 national-title game.

Kansas football coach David Beaty deemed this week’s National Signing Day a success for the rebuilding program, but that didn’t mean he and his staff could celebrate or relax.

In college football, recruiting

never stops. As evidence, look no further than the Jayhawks’ weekend plans, which revolve around welcoming to campus a slew of recruits from the Class of 2018.

Beaty and company don’t yet have any commitments for next year’s recruiting haul, but they’ll keep chasing the Big 12

depth, dynamic players and “Kansas identity” that highlight their strategy this weekend as they show off KU’s facilities to at least 12 prospects graded as three- or four-star recruits by Rivals.

As of Friday, Jon Kirby of Jayhawk Slant confirmed the names of 18 high school players

scheduled to be in Lawrence for “junior day,” and most of them are from Kansas, Louisiana and Missouri.

As KU’s third-year head coach referenced earlier this week, he hopes landing Derby High receiver/tight end Kenyon

KANSAS FORWARD MITCH LIGHTFOOT (44) reaches for a rebound against Long Beach State’s LaRond Williams on Nov. 29, 2016 at Allen Fieldhouse.

mtait@ljworld.com

ess than six weeks ago, Kansas forwards Dwight Coleby and Mitch Lightfoot faced long odds of seeing much court time this season.

With Kansas employing a four-guard lineup more often and senior Landen Lucas, freshman Udoka Azubuike and sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. all eating up minutes in KU’s frontcourt ahead of them, Coleby and Lightfoot spent most of their time battling to become the Jayhawks’ ninth man, with the odd man out falling to 10th in the rotation.

But then the Kansas big men started dropping out of the rotation. First was Azubuike, losing the rest of his

season to a wrist injury before the UNLV game Dec. 22.

And then came Bragg’s two separate run-ins with off-thecourt issues.

That left the Jayhawks depleted in the front court and turned Coleby and Lightfoot into much more important pieces of the puzzle.

Neither player is going to be asked to play 40 minutes a game, but each will be asked to give something and both have shown a slow and steady march toward making that something carry at least a little value.

With Bragg suspended for the past two games — and set to miss a third game today, 1 p.m. vs. Iowa State — the Jayhawks likely will look for continued production from Coleby and Lightfoot, who

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

have combined to play 25 minutes in the past two Kansas victories.

“You know, it may be a situation that, in our mind, we’re going to start with (one) and see how he does and, knowing you’re going to play the other one, if the other one comes in and plays better, maybe you go back to him,” said Kansas coach Bill Self, demonstrating that the plan to utilize either player was fluid. “That’s kind of what we did the other night (vs. Kentucky). We gave Mitch a chance and gave Dwight a chance.”

Coleby held his own against the Wildcats, using his 6-foot-9, 240-pound size and five fouls to help corral Kentucky big man Bam Adebayo. That performance led to Coleby being the first man off the bench in Wednesday’s victory over Baylor, when he grabbed six rebounds in six minutes and blocked one shot, numbers that evened out his 0-of-3 shooting night and two turnovers.

After playing just four minutes against the Wildcats, Lightfoot also contributed to the Jayhawks’ 73-68 win over Baylor, tallying two points, one rebound and two blocks in just five minutes.

“Mitch’s couple of blocks, I thought those were pretty athletic plays,” Self said after the win.

And they might have been a small sign that Lightfoot is settling into his new role. He talked about it after Kentucky — KU’s first game during the latest Bragg suspension — and explained what differed from what he had been used to previously.

“I’m adjusting to the 5 position because I learned the 4 position at the beginning of the year and now we need me in a little different spot,” Lightfoot explained. “It’s just being in different spots in different plays. Our defensive principles are pretty similar both ways, but I feel like I’ve gotta be better at getting plays down. It’s unacceptable for me to not have that down right now.”

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Cut down the turnovers

Hit the boards

In the first meeting with Iowa State, a 7672 Kansas victory in Ames, Iowa, in January, Iowa State stayed in the game by forcing 11 first-half KU turnovers. Senior point guard Monte’ Morris wreaked havoc on the game in the first 20 minutes, picking the Jayhawks’ pockets and getting deflections that led to easy buckets in transition. Landen Lucas and Josh Jackson each coughed it up four times and Frank Mason III and Lagerald Vick gave it away three times apiece. KU tightened things up in the second half and finished with 18 turnovers, but there’s no doubt that ball security was talked about plenty during the past couple of days as the Jayhawks prepared for the rematch with the perimeter-oriented Cyclones.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Landen Lucas vs. Bueller, Bueller, Bueller...

Off-the-court news continues to surround the Kansas men’s basketball program, but the Jayhawks have shown no signs of the distractions impacting their play on the court. In the last week alone, KU picked up wins at No. 4 Kentucky and at home against No. 2 Baylor and played at an extremely high level in both victories. With Kansas now in the driver’s seat for a 13th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, the Jayhawks enter the second half of Big 12 play needing just to maintain pace to deliver the title. Baylor sits one game back of Kansas, at 7-2 in Big 12 play, and West Virginia is two games back at 6-3.

With everyone else at least three games back of Kansas, with nine to play, the Jayhawks have positioned themselves well for the second half of the Big 12 season. Five of KU’s nine remaining regular season games are on the road, which makes winning at home absolutely critical in KU’s quest to keep its streak alive. That’s not to say it will be easy. KU’s five Big 12 home victories so far this season have come by an average of just 8.6 points per win, including a two-point win over K-State, a seven-point win over Oklahoma State and Wednesday’s five-point win over Baylor.

It sure seems like Landen Lucas could be in for another big game against the Cyclones. After making 7 of 9 shots for 14 points and 6 rebounds in the first meeting, Lucas is poised for even bigger numbers in this one. The reason? Iowa State has struggled all year to find consistent play from anyone inside and has had to be creative with the way it defends the post. Even though Lucas is not the prototypical, back-to-thebasket type of scorer who the Jayhawks run their offense through, they tossed it over the top of the defense and into Lucas plenty of times in Ames and likely will look to do it again. Suspended forward Carlton Bragg Jr., had one of his best games of the season in KU’s first meeting with the Cyclones, finishing with 10 points and 6 rebounds on 5-of-9 shooting in 15 minutes. If Bragg is out for the third game in a row, that just leaves more production on the table for Lucas against whomever ISU tries to throw at him, which, at times has seemed to resemble that classroom roll call scene from the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” — Matt Tait

LHS girls find extra gear in second half

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Mike Gunnoe/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE HIGH’S E’LEASE STAFFORD fires a 3-pointer against Shawnee Mission South on Friday night.

Overland Park — During halftime Friday, Lawrence High’s girls basketball players made a realization when they were sitting in the locker room.

If the Lions wanted to be considered one of the top teams in the state, they couldn’t allow opponents to stick around.

LHS junior E’lease Stafford opened the second half with six straight points, and it sparked the Lions in a 58-43 road victory over Shawnee Mission South.

“We realized that we need to stop playing with our food,” LHS senior guard Skylar Drum said.

“We have a bad habit of doing that in some of the other games.”

Instead of settling for jump shots, the Lions attacked the rim. Stafford started the third quarter with a 3-pointer, assisted from Drum. Then the 5-foot-11 Stafford drove to the rim and scored on a layup while being fouled.

“We realized we needed to stop messing around,” senior guard Olivia Lemus said.

On the next two possessions, junior Asia Goodwin was fouled when she went full-speed toward the hoop. In the first four minutes of the second half, the Lions went on a 12-2 run for a double-digit lead.

“We believe that we

are state champions,” said Lemus, who had 11 points and eight rebounds.

“State champions go out and finish games and that’s what we wanted to do. Personally, I think me and Skylar were thinking, ‘We’re seniors, this is one of our last games.

We need to take as many (wins) as we can.’”

Defensively, the Lions trusted their centers Chisom Ajekwu (6-foot-3) and Sammy Williams (510). Guards pressured the ball and if they allowed drives down the paint, Ajekwu and Williams were ready for volleyballspike blocks.

The Lions (11-3, 3-2) went scoreless for a fiveminute gap in the second quarter, which helped the

Raiders close their deficit to one point.

But sophomore point guard Hannah Stewart and Lemus combined to score seven points in the final two minutes.

Free State boys strike early

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Shawnee — The Free State boys basketball team scored early and often, and flustered Shawnee Mission Northwest defensively to build a double-digit lead in the first quarter, but Firebirds coach Sam Stroh was not happy with the energy that his squad played with the rest of the way in a 65-60 victory over the Cougars.

The No. 7-ranked Firebirds (9-4, 5-0) surged out to an 11-0 lead in the first four minutes and four seconds, which was an encouraging sight for Stroh. Less pleasing to the Free State coach’s eyes, though, was watching his team cling to a one-possession lead in the final minute.

“I liked the way we started out the game. I thought that that was one of our better starts this year,” Stroh said. “The challenge, though, is can

we do it for 32 minutes.

We’re still not there yet.”

The Firebirds were able to take control in the early going by hammering the ball down low to senior Cameron Clark and junior Jalan Robinson. Clark was an efficient 7-of-11 from the field, and finished with 16 points. Robinson made all four of his shots in the post to end the night with eight points.

“Like coach (Stroh) says, ‘Practice makes perfect.’ We do it in practice, and we do it in the game,” Clark said. “My point guards, we have a connection. We just have that mentality and we always play together. Twogame all day.”

Junior Garrett Luinstra capitalized on the attention that was being given to the two Free State forwards in the paint, and poured in 16 points to pace the Firebirds from the perimeter.

“He’s always been

stepping up. He’s getting better and better each day in practice and in games,” said Clark of Luinstra. “I just love it. He’s just making plays for the team.”

The rest of the Firebirds struggled to get going on the offensive end, though, but they made enough of their free throws down the stretch to pull out the victory.

The Firebirds knocked down 19 of their 25 attempts from the charity stripe. Senior Shannon Cordes was a perfect 8-for-8 from the line.

Despite holding off the Cougars to win their third straight contest, Stroh said that the Firebirds have a lot to work on going into their 7 p.m. home tilt with Shawnee Mission North on Tuesday.

“Just figure out a way to finish a game off.

They said all of the right things and we talked about it all at half, but then we come out and we’re sloppy with some

execution stuff defensively,” Stroh said. “We gave up a couple of things that we shouldn’t have given up, but they did hit some shots and we didn’t shoot as well in the second half. Still, it shouldn’t have been a one-possession game down the stretch when we had the lead that we did.

Free State girls’ rally falls short

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Shawnee — Free State senior Madison Piper and the Firebirds had a roller coaster of an evening against Shawnee Mission Northwest on Friday, but much to their chagrin, the ride came to a painful end with a 52-50 loss to the Cougars.

Piper was held scoreless in the first half after being limited to just two shots. Sophomore Hannah Black and junior Megan Nugent took turns face-guarding Piper, but the Free State senior was able to get going in the second half.

After the No. 9-ranked Firebirds (8-6, 2-3) found themselves in a 22-3 hole with 2:40 remaining in the second quarter, Piper and Cameryn Thomas led a furious second-half charge to give Free State

a 38-37 lead with 6:37 remaining.

Piper converted a traditional 3-point to cap the Firebirds’ 35-15 run, but Free State’s lead was short-lived. The Cougars answered with a 6-0 spurt, and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way.

“At halftime, we knew our shots weren’t falling,” said Thomas, who came up with five steals to go along with her team-high 18 points. “Offensively, things weren’t going our way, so we decided to control what we could control, and that was defense. We felt that that would be the gamechanger.”

Thomas scored two of the Firebirds’ three first-half buckets — both traditional 3-point plays after steals at the other end. The Firebirds rallied behind Thomas after

the break and made up the bulk of the 19-point deficit by forcing seven turnovers on seven of the Cougars’ final 10 possessions of the third quarter.

While the Cougars continued to clamp down on Piper in the second half, the Free State senior made contested shot after contested shot to finish with 14 points.

“I think part of it is that they were playing her really close. We made a couple of adjustments at half,” Free State coach Ted Juneau said. “Kids set some good picks for her, and she got more aggressive about it. The bottom line was she got a few more shots because some of our other kids were getting layups and drives to the basket.”

Piper’s night was cut short, though, after she suffered an ankle injury with 1:36 to play. Juneau did not

have an update on Piper’s health after the game.

Despite the loss and uncertainty of the severity of Piper’s injury, Juneau was pleased with how the Firebirds battled down the stretch.

“I thought it was a really good team effort the second half,” Juneau said.

The Firebirds will host Shawnee Mission North at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Late shot dooms LHS boys at SMS

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — As soon as Clarence King’s half-court heave fell short of the rim, Shawnee Mission South’s student section rushed the court and the celebration was on.

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team led by seven points with 2:15 remaining but turned the ball over on three straight possessions. That opened the door for the Raiders and they took full advantage.

SM South senior guard Isaac Soares scored the game-winning bucket with three seconds left, handing the Lions a painful 61-60 loss at SM South — their first defeat in Sunflower League play this season.

Several minutes after King’s half-court prayer went unanswered, the Lions streamed out of the visiting locker room in silence.

“We dug in and really gave ourselves chances,” Lawrence coach Mike Lewis said. “We just weren’t good enough to win.”

Lawrence senior guard Austin Miller, all 5-foot7 of him, did his best to carry the Lions to victory. With the Lions down by two points in the final minute, Miller drilled a

go-ahead 3-pointer from nearly 30 feet away.

It wasn’t the typical play that’s drawn up, but his teammates have plenty of confidence in Miller when he’s doing his best Steph Curry impersonation.

“He does that all the time in practice,” LHS sophomore Brett Chapple said, “and he hits them all of the time.”

Miller added: “I was not thinking about that one. That one just came off nice.”

The Lions (9-4, 4-1 in league) took a lead in the fourth quarter during a 13-1 spurt. Miller, of course, swished a gametying 3-pointer from a spot closer to the bleachers than the 3-point line.

On the next offensive possession, LHS 6-7 senior Kobe Buffalomeat scored on a layup while being fouled for a threepoint advantage.

Quarterback Ford announces transfer from Kansas

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A starting quarterback briefly during his time at the University of Kansas, Deondre Ford announced Friday morning he is transferring out of the program.

Ford, who transferred to KU from Dodge City Community College before the 2015 season, didn’t say where he will go next in a tweet signaling his departure, but the QB is looking for a place where he can play.

“Thankful for everything,” Ford wrote on

Twitter. “On to the next chapter in my life.”

His post included a note with more details on his decision to continue his football career elsewhere.

“First off I just want to thank the coaches and the players at the University of Kansas for giving me a great opportunity to be (a part) of something special,” Ford communicated in a screen shot.

“Coach (David) Beaty has been a positive influence on my life as well as my development as a quarterback. I have decided

that I will transfer from the University of Kansas as a transfer graduate and play my next two years somewhere else. I want to thank coach Beaty for giving me the opportunity to look at more options for my future. I will always be grateful for him and his staff.”

In his first season with the program, Ford stepped in as KU’s No. 1 QB for a start at Rutgers in 2015, when thenstarter Montell Cozart was ill. However, after completing six of his 13 passes for 85 yards, with

an interception, Ford suffered a thumb injury that ended up costing him the rest of the season.

Because he only played in three games, he was granted a medical redshirt.

Ford didn’t play a single snap for Kansas in 2016, which no doubt influenced his decision to become the second QB to leave the program this offseason — joining former starter Ryan Willis, who landed with Virginia Tech.

Kansas quarterback Carter Stanley finished

this past season as the Jayhawks’ starter, and even helped the team knock off Texas during his three-game stretch as the top QB. Beaty and KU also added another quarterback to the roster for 2017. Transfer Peyton Bender is expected to compete with Stanley for the starting spot.

The quarterback room had to look pretty crowded for Ford and Willis, with Stanley and Bender at the top of the depth chart, and Cozart, Tyriek Starks and Keaton Perry

in the mix, as well.

“Excited that I will be transferring from the University of Kansas,” Ford later wrote in another tweet. “With two years left of eligibility. Happy about the future.”

A KU spokesperson said Ford is on schedule to graduate in May, and will remain in Lawrence this semester as a student to finish up coursework on his degree in liberal arts and sciences.

Ford completed 11 of 23 passes with one interception for KU before deciding to move on.
