“I won as a sixth-grader two years ago,” he said. “I got beat at my school last year.”

Westbrook and Nguyen,

But since August of 2015, it has been a different story. Already one former LPD member has been decertified, and two other former officers are accused of violence and misconduct that puts their certifications at risk.

Officers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

As reported last week by the Journal-World, former Officer William Burke was accused by LPD of beating a fellow officer, choking her until she passed out and locking her, naked, inside a dog kennel. He was originally arrested on suspicion of a number of felonies, but those charges were later dropped.

Former Officer Frank McClelland is currently awaiting a criminal trial regarding a misdemeanor battery charge f i l e d against him after he was accused of knocking down an uncooperative sus- McClelland pect and punching him in the face multiple times last September.

The Journal-World has researched and interviewed sources about what has to happen in order for law enforcement officers to lose their certifications to serve in the state. It is clear that neither Burke nor McClelland would have to be convicted of a crime or even charged with a crime to lose their certifications.

What is not clear, however, is whether the state’s certifying agency is investigating either Burke or McClelland.

It also isn’t clear how much information about the two officers the city has provided the certifying agency, the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Michelle Meier, the organization’s counsel, declined to say whether the two have been investigated or are under investigation.

Meier, though, did provide an overview of what can lead the commission to suspend, condition or revoke the certification of a law enforcement officer.

Among the reasons: l If the officer is “engaged in conduct which, if charged as a crime, would constitute a felony crime.” l If the officer is engaged in conduct which,

with those affected by President Donald Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order, which suspended the country’s refugee admission program for 120 days and halted the admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely. The order also barred entry of people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — all of which are majority-Muslim countries — for 90 days, but prioritized the processing of refugees belonging to religious minorities in those countries. Enforcement of the order was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on Friday.

Janzen said Trump didn’t do his homework before issuing the “misguided and mean-spirited” executive order.

“Trump doesn’t understand the vetting process that is already in place,” he said. “He just tossed things out.”

The suspension of Trump’s order was the latest turn in what has been a roller coaster ride of emotions for those in the international community at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence as a whole, said Iesha Kincaid, who helped organize the event alongside the KU Muslim Student Association, the Lawrence Islamic Center

.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Our investigators field calls from concerned citizens, and there is a complaint form available on our website. We can also self-initiate cases based on media reports or other credible information.”

— Michelle Meier, counsel for the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, the state’s certifying agency for law enforcement officers

if charged as a crime, would constitute a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.” l If the officer has engaged in unprofessional conduct “as defined by the rules and regulations of the commission.”

Latest revocation Nicolas Simon is the most recent example of a Lawrence police officer whose certification was revoked by KS-CPOST. At the time of Simon’s arrest in November 2014, LPD would not release additional details surrounding his arrest, citing the case as a “personnel matter.”

However, KS-CPOST’s order revoking Simon’s certification shows he was accused of covering up a woman’s mouth and pushing her head into a wall, a misdemeanor.

Simon was on duty at the time of the incident, the document says. At the time, he also submitted a false report to the department’s dispatch and later admitted to the lie, according to the KS-CPOST document.

KS-CPOST documents indicate Simon’s Notice of Termination or Status Change form was submitted on Dec. 17, 2014, and his certification was revoked on Aug. 21, 2015.

Recent incidents On Jan. 17, the City of Lawrence filed a response to a federal civil lawsuit filed by Burke, who is seeking $525,000 in damages claiming he was wrongly arrested and defamed.

The city’s filing offers insight into what information LPD had when Burke was arrested.

Over the span of several pages, the city’s filing outlined investigators’ interviews with a female Lawrence police officer who dated Burke sporadically for several years and later accused him of abuse.

In the interview, the woman told investigators the two previously had rough but

‘‘

consensual sex, but that one incident in January 2015 went too far. Burke has contended in filings that the two engaged in “rough sex,” but it was consensual.

During the incident, Burke slapped the woman in the face multiple times and choked her until she passed out, she told investigators.

“When she started to see spots, she told Burke, ‘Stop’ as best she could,” the filing says. “She reached up and tried to pull Burke’s arms away but she couldn’t and she blacked out.”

Later, Burke forced the woman to drink beer and used a thick chain to lock her naked inside a dog kennel while beating the cage with a mallet, she said.

Burke was arrested in early 2015 on suspicion of felony kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, domestic battery and criminal threat.

The woman told investigators she took pictures of her injuries, and later detectives discovered text messages from Burke admitting to the beating and acknowledging that he lost control that night.

However, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson did not press charges in the case, citing a lack of evidence. Branson last week declined to comment on what evidence was turned over by police to his office regarding the incident. l l l

In August, it is alleged that McClelland responded to fight that was underway in the 1900 block of 19th Street. One of the men refused to comply with McClelland’s order to sit on the sidewalk. McClelland then approached the man with a leg sweep maneuver, placed him on the ground and hit him in the face with a closed fist up to four times, prosecutors have alleged.

McClelland faces a misdemeanor battery

charge in connection to that incident. He pleaded not guilty and awaits a trial.

McClelland also was named in a lawsuit related to a 2014 arrest. During court proceedings in that case, witnesses testified that McClelland beat a man’s head against a squad car during the arrest. Lawrence firefighter Miguel Armenta, who filed the lawsuit, said several officers, including McClelland, broke his arm when they arrested him after he spoke out against McClelland.

The lawsuit was dropped by Armenta just days before it was scheduled to go to trial after Judge Paula Martin ruled against admitting much of the evidence sought by Armenta’s attorney.

The process Despite the allegations against Burke and McClelland, the City of Lawrence — for reason not yet explained — allowed both to resign. It is unclear whether Simon resigned or was terminated.

However, the city was required to submit documents to KS-CPOST regarding all three officers.

Once an officer leaves a department, whether they are terminated or they resign, the agency is then required to submit a Notice of Termination or Status Change document to KS-CPOST within 30 days, Meier said.

“On that form, the agency head must indicate if the resignation or termination was under ordinary circumstances or under questionable circumstances (while being investigated or investigative, disciplinary, or legal action was being contemplated),” she said.

These documents are a common way for KSCPOST to launch an investigation, Meier said.

Although the Lawrence Police Department did indeed submit Notice of Termination or Status Change documents for the departures of Simon, Burke and McClelland, the substance of the forms is unclear because they are heavily redacted.

The redacted form for Burke, however, is striking in one regard. The city, in its recent legal filing in the Burke case, wrote more than 1,000 words describing the alleged misconduct of Burke against the female

Bee

L awrence J ournal -W orld officer. On the portion of the KS-CPOST form where the department is asked to provide a description, the city provided only 4 1/2 lines of text.

The description was redacted, so it is impossible to determine the content of the information shared with KS-CPOST. Meier, however, said the amount of information on the city’s form isn’t necessarily a cause for concern.

“Sometimes you have very concise, sometimes you have more,” she said.

“As long as they’re checking the proper boxes and giving us something to jump off of — do we need to investigate or not? — then we’re satisfied with that.”

Alongside the Notice of Termination or Status Change documents, Meier said KS-CPOST can launch investigations in a number of different ways.

“Our investigators field calls from concerned citizens, and there is a complaint form available on our website,” Meier said.

“We can also self-initiate cases based on media reports or other credible information.”

History The commission’s website lists each certification action the organization has made since 1998. In that time, four Lawrence police officers have had their certifications revoked.

No Douglas County sheriff’s deputies or University of Kansas police officers have had their certifications revoked in that time, according to the commission’s website.

Although details from KS-CPOST are already limited, state lawmakers are considering a bill that would close information from the commission even further.

If approved, the bill — HB 2070 — would prohibit the public from being able to check whether an officer is certified to work in the state, allowing access only to “those agencies who appoint or elect police or law enforcement officers.”

Opponents of the bill argue the legislation would allow possible misconduct within law enforcement to be covered up.

Final numbers in for city’s record apartment building boom

W

Town Talk

e already have reported it has been a recordsetting year for apartment construction. By the end of September, Lawrence builders already had constructed more apartments than in any year in the city’s history. But perhaps you are asking: What clawhorn@ljworld.com ended up being the grand total of apartments built in Lawrence in 2016? that question? Maybe this What? You hadn’t asked why I don’t get invited to

Chad Lawhorn

dinner parties anymore.

Regardless, the answer is 1,205 apartment units were built in the city last year.

(And, for what it is worth, inauguration crowd estimators believe the number could be closer to 1 billion.) Lawrence didn’t just set a new record for apartment construction; it obliterated the old record.

The previous high-water mark was 972 apartment units built in 1996.

Whether you think Lawrence needed that many new apartments, one thing not in dispute is apartment construction added a lot of dollars to the local economy in 2016.

The highest dollar value project in the city last year was an a apartment complex — $26.4 million for The Links at Lawrence project just east of Rock Chalk Park. In case you have forgotten, that is the

complex that will have apartment buildings built around a nine-hole private golf course.

In fact, the five largest construction projects in the city were all apartments — either the traditional kind or those focused on retirement living. This number also is interesting: $80.7 million.

I looked at the 25 largest construction projects in the city in 2016 and added

up the value of all the apartment projects on that list; $80.7 million is what I came up with. Another interesting number that comes from that: $1.2 million. Let’s assume $80.7 million is the fair market value of all the new apartments built in the city.

City to consider moving Greyhound bus stop to library

MAXWELL CROGAN, 4, OF HOWELLS, NEB., REACHES WIDE TO SLAP HANDS WITH THE JAYHAWKS before Saturday’s game against Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse. Saturday’s game was the first for Maxwell and his father, Mike Crogan, left of center. The Jayhawks went on to lose in overtime, 92-89.

See more photos and game coverage in Sports, Page 1C.

It has been 14 months since the Greyhound bus service began using city property as its bus stop free of charge. After multiple extensions of that arrangement, the city could be done providing a free ride.

At their meeting Tuesday, city commissioners will consider requiring Greyhound to enter into an agreement to establish a monthly fee for the continued use of the city’s rightof-way at East Sixth and New Hampshire streets for its bus stop.

A second proposal would charge Greyhound $1,000 monthly to locate its bus stop at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Greyhound provides daily service to Lawrence three times a day on its route between

Topeka and Kansas City, and connects to thousands of cities across the country.

Since December 2015, the City Commission has granted Greyhound four extensions to continue using the city right-of-way.

Greyhound representatives have told commissioners on those occasions that they are working on finding another location for the bus stop. Greyhound has reportedly begun negotiations with multiple businesses over the past year, but none has resulted in an agreement.

Another potential location has recently arisen. Greyhound has had “preliminary discussions” with McDonald’s about locating the bus stop at one of its restaurants, but Greyhound is not certain at

Capital campaign for new Eudora Public Library to begin Monday

D

on Grosdidier is ready to inspire about 50 Eudora residents Monday at the first meeting of the capital campaign steering committee for the Eudora Public Library. Eudora Public Library Director Carol Wohlford said the meeting would be at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the old library at West Elementary School, 801 E. 10th St. It was announced last month Grosdidier, the former superintendent of Eudora schools, would chair a capital campaign for a new Eudora Public Library. The plan is to build a 10,000- to 12,000-squarefoot new library across Ninth Street, south of the 40-year-old, 4,000-squarefoot existing library.

Grosdidier said the steering committee will seek donations from

Area Roundup

individuals and businesses in the community and grants from organizations with track records of helping such causes. Although 50 might seem a large membership for most committees, it is an appropriate number for the task ahead of the group.

“It basically will be a committee of individuals who will solicit donations at different levels,” he said. “Committee members will be asked to name people who might be possible donors.”

His and the library’s goal was to have the committee represented by a broad spectrum of community leaders, Grosdidier said. The broad community representation is meant to ensure all those who can donate are approached, and to help build support

for the project.

“The capital campaign serves two purposes,” Grosdidier said. “One is to raise money but also awareness, so if we do have to go to a bond issue they understand the need and how it will serve the community. In this day and age, you have to think about technology. I don’t want to dismiss the importance of books, but we also have the need for a 21st century facility that provides good wireless internet access in the community. There’s not a lot of good Wi-Fi access in Eudora. The school district just started a 1-to-1 computer program in the high school. When those students leave campus, if they don’t have access at home, they have a hard time finding safe and secure access (in the) community.”

Grosdidier said he

has had a lot of positive feedback since it was announced he would chair the capital campaign, and he has been able to fill the steering committee with some of those who have approached him. He added that he hasn’t heard from anyone who thinks the new library is not needed.

The Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce will have its annual awards banquet at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Stony Point Hall, 1514 North 600 Road. Chamber Director Jeannette Blackmar said the deadline to register for the banquet is Wednesday.

Tickets are $30 for members, $35 for nonmembers.

Table sponsorships of $200 and $300 are also available.

This year’s Chamber awards categories and their nominees are:

l Business of the Year — RG Fiber, Mid-America Bank and Baldwin State Bank l Community Service — Jane Akob, Sandy Cardens, Becki Dick, Steve Friend and Barbara Pressgrove l Horizon Award — Dance Cafe and Homestead Kitchen and Bakery l Partnership Award — Baker University

But not always.

The firm casts “a wide net” when recruiting and tries to pull in candidates who come from business, philanthropy and other positions in academia, too. Occasionally, Funk said, one of those gets hired.

Funk is president of R. William Funk & Associates, the search firm hired by the Kansas Board of Regents to assist with the search for KU’s next chancellor. Funk & Associates consulted in the search that led to the 2009 hiring of KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle — herself a former provost, at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill — who announced in September she’ll step down at the end of this school year.

Who KU’s next chancellor will be is still anyone’s guess. The application process has not yet been formally opened, though it will be soon.

Funk informally discussed past searches at a recent open forum to gather feedback from KU community members on what they’d like to see in their next chancellor. He said his firm has conducted more than 400 searches, including searches at about two-thirds of schools in the prestigious ranks of the researchfocused Association of American Universities, of which KU is a member.

National data about university presidents reveals some characteristics, as well.

The American Council on Education’s 2012 American College President Study is the only comprehensive study of its kind.

According to an American Council on Education representative, the next iteration of the study is due out later this year, but the 2012 study is the most recent data available.

At doctorate-granting public universities, according to that study, the greatest percentages of presidents are white, male and in their early 60s.

The most common previous position is as a university provost or chief academic officer, or other senior academic affairs administrator.

Their most common academic discipline is the social sciences, followed by education or

this time if it will move forward with that partnership, according to Greyhound representative Lanesha Gipson.

If the city were to offer Greyhound another extension, city staff are recommending that the city begin charging for use of the right-of-way.

The city also has another proposal for Greyhound to consider. The Lawrence Public Library has offered to allow Greyhound to use an area north of the library that is currently metered parking spots. Greyhound riders could use the library facilities, which would provide computer access for ticketing, shelter and restrooms, according to the proposal.

The city has developed a draft right-of-way agreement for the library proposal. City staff are recommending compensation of $1,000 per month for the elimination of four metered parking stalls, but also noted that Greyhound has told the city that fee would be too much.

Nonetheless, Gipson said via email that

Looking at university presidents’ backgrounds Here’s how university presidents break down in terms of prior position, field of study and demographic information, according to the American Council on Education’s American College President Study.

The data is derived from a 2011 survey of more than 1,600 college and university presidents nationwide.

Prior position: l Chief academic officer, provost or other senior executive in academic affairs: 61.4 percent l President/CEO of another university: 18.2 percent l Other senior

higher education.

Changes in those demographics won’t be known until the new study comes out later this year. But past changes could shed some light on what’s to come for doctorate-granting institutions, private and public.

“By 2011, 22 percent of the presidents of doctorate-granting institutions were women (compared with 14 percent in 2006), and 13 percent were members of a racial or ethnic minority group (compared with 11 percent in 2006),” according to the ACE study.

As for past jobs, fewer were coming from positions as presidents at other institutions, according to the study. More were coming from positions as provosts or chief academic officers.

In 2011, 59.5 percent of presidents were previously provosts or other senior academic affairs executives, compared with 54.5 percent in 2006, according to the study.

Also, the study says, presidents of doctorategranting universities in 2011 were somewhat more likely than those in 2006 to have been employed by the same institution in their prior position. In 2011, 30 percent had been employed by the same institution in their previous job, compared with 26 percent in 2006. lll

Greyhound is considering the draft proposal to locate at the library, but that changes would likely need to be made.

“We are open to negotiations,” Gipson wrote.

management and leadership for Inside Higher Ed, including stories about some university CEO choices that are either very controversial or “fail spectacularly.”

He said an institution’s current leadership, challenges and political climate tend to bear on what kind of person is picked as its new president — and should.

“It’s a very political role,” Seltzer said. “You bring in someone who isn’t ready for that, or misjudges the constituencies, or doesn’t have the backing of the board ... there’s just land mines.”

An example could be a campus with faculty unrest, where the hiring board might want to strongly consider a provost or internal candidate, Seltzer said. For a campus with complex challenges, the board might favor a candidate who’s been a university CEO before and steered that campus through similar problems.

Major campus players, such as sports, should be considered, too.

“Has this person ever interacted with big-time athletics?” Seltzer said.

“The academic side doesn’t like to talk about the fact that that matters, but it does at institutions like the University of Kansas.”

When it comes to choosing candidates without a background in academia, Seltzer said the risk can be high.

Last year, the president of Mount St. Mary’s University resigned following

independent business that would offer customers support services.”

national furor over a leaked statement that he compared (in the context of retention) struggling freshmen to bunnies that should be drowned and suggested an aggressive program that would allow those at risk of failing to drop out early. Seltzer said Simon Newman, a former businessman, had come into the position with a “shakeup attitude” and also fired two professors, though they later were reinstated.

Upon Newman’s departure, the board chair did note that he’d developed a strategic plan and helped strengthen the university’s finances.

“Search committees and boards are looking more at candidates who are from alternative backgrounds,” Seltzer said. “When you bring in someone from the private sector who’s not familiar with the way higher ed works, there is a steep learning curve.”

Kansas State University’s new president is from a nonacademic background: the military.

Hired in November after serving as interim president, K-State president Richard Myers is a retired four-star general and the former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman.

chairman David Dillon indicated open-mindedness for candidates outside academia — as long as they are familiar with higher education.

Dillon said, speaking personally, he wouldn’t restrict the search to academics only but also wouldn’t “throw it wide open.”

“In my view, someone who doesn’t have a really, really deep appreciation for higher education would not make a great chancellor,” Dillon said.

“But at the same time, I don’t necessarily think they need to have spent their entire career in higher education.”

Funk said candidates’ responses to questions about things like tenure or shared governance can be telling.

“That’s where nontraditional candidates tend to fall short sometimes,”

he said.

Funk and Dillon agreed with forum speakers that considering diversity also is important.

Funk noted that his firm has “broken the color line and the gender line” in some 30 institutions across the country.

KU is one of them.

Gray-Little is KU’s first female and first black chancellor.

Dillon said that a candidate doesn’t necessarily need to be a minority but whoever it is should be able to champion diversity at the university.

“It’s clear to me it’s important to this campus,” Dillon said. “I am of the opinion that diversity and cultural appreciation is a very high topic, and needs to be.”

At KU, the chancellor search committee is crafting a candidate profile statement that will be used in the job posting once it’s approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, which could occur at this month’s regular meeting.

Applicants’ names won’t be publicly released because the Regents chose a closed search process, meaning that the only person planned to be publicly announced will be the person the board ultimately hires.

After nearly 60 years, spark is gone from marriage Dear Annie: I have been married to the same man for 59 years.

I have one daughter and am an immigrant to this country. I think I am a fairly decent cook and housekeeper. I worked for 30 years in a very large company and ended my career in management. I read a lot; I play bridge. All in all, I am easy to get along with.

My husband is an intelligent man, though he is not a great talker.

His interests are the stock market and making money. He has a few friends, but they’re of the casual type. I would call him emotionally challenged. He comes from a very large family, and I get along with his family members very well. He cares for them and has helped them out.

This week, I celebrated a milestone birthday.

flowers, nothing. When I remarked on it, he told me he had been planning to buy me a card and give me an airline ticket for a trip that we decided on six months ago and is coming up in a month. I told him I don’t think it qualifies as a gift. Even after a lengthy discussion, he didn’t change his mind.

I should add that he has not bought me a birthday card or a gift for the past 20 years.

My feeling is that his sole interest in me is as

Will ‘24’ reboot draw viewers in?

Will people watch “24: Legacy” (9:30 p.m., Fox, TV-14) now that Kiefer Sutherland has departed to become the ‘‘Designated Survivor’’? Since the pilot airs right after Super Bowl LI (5:30 p.m., Fox), you can expect a healthy sampling. The real test arrives on Monday night, when it airs in its regular time.

Over the years, make that decades, people got used to new incarnations of James Bond. But George Lazenby, the first person not named Sean Connery to play Agent 007, was met with great resistance and never played the part again.

I’m not sure if Corey Hawkins, who portrays U.S. Army Sgt. Eric Carter on ‘‘24,’’ will suffer the same fate. After all, he’s not trying to pass himself off as an old favorite like the second Darrin on ‘‘Bewitched’’ or the new Becky on ‘‘Roseanne.’’ At the same time, Carter’s character, a supersoldier and troubled vet trying to stay on the right side of the law, has become depressingly familiar.

Even cookie-cutter. Sutherland’s Jack Bauer was a raspy-voiced cartoon character, but at least he seemed unique.

And is ‘‘24’’ really worth rebooting? The same could be said of recent reheated servings of ‘‘Gilmore Girls’’ and ‘‘The X-Files’’ as well as the recently announced exhumation of ‘‘Will & Grace.’’

This ‘‘24’’ follows the format of the original. Each episode clicks off an hour of a single day, unfolding in real time, with the arrival of split, multiple screens to announce heightened tension.

The gung-ho Carter was part of an Army Rangers team that killed top terrorist leader Bin Khalid.

Now, Khalid’s comrades are back for revenge and are picking off team members one by one and murdering their wives and families just to make a point. Fans of this sort of thing may already be getting their fix with the History Channel’s ‘‘Six.’’ In true ‘‘24’’ style, Carter fights off a terror attack with the help of his wife, Nicole (Anna Diop), who’s a crack shot and gorgeous to boot. Carter quickly learns that there may be a terrorist spy within the Counter Terrorist Unit.

The only person he can trust is Rebecca Ingram (Miranda Otto), the former national director of CTU and the woman who directed the raid on Bin Khalid. This forces her to break all the rules in her old stomping grounds, raising the suspicions of her successor, who may or may not be the rat.

When I retired, I had a very substantial fund, which he invested himself. For a few years, it did very well. Then he went behind my back and made a risky investment. We lost our house, and things were dire for a few years.

My feeling is that he has a problem dealing with women. He never abides by my opinion on any topic. He is not particularly warm toward any female in the family, and my daughter sometimes calls him an iceberg.

What makes this man tick? I am getting to the point where I don’t think I can stand him anymore.

However, I am too old to leave.

Any advice would be appreciated. — Fed Up to the Teeth

Strive for open government A bipartisan bill that restricts closed-door meetings is in the best interest of Kansans.

I

t’s pretty simple: Open government is the best government. That’s why state legislators should approve Senate Bill

70.

The bipartisan bill, sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, and Republican state Sen. Molly Baumgardner, of Overland Park, would require public boards to provide more specificity before going into executive session.

The bill is important for a couple of reasons. First, the public deserves to know, with reasonable specificity, the reason public boards need to meet in secret. Second, it’s good for board members to be reminded each time they shut the public out to limit their closed-door discussions to the specific topic at hand.

As it stands, Kansas law provides 16 justifications for public boards to meet in closed session. The most commonly used justifications are personnel matters, consultation with an attorney and the acquisition of property. Senate Bill 70 reduces the number of justifications to 14.

Current law requires only that a board state the justification for closing the meeting. For instance, a school board could simply make a motion to go into closed session for personnel matters. But personnel matters is a pretty broad topic that doesn’t provide the public or the board members with enough information.

SB 70 would change the law to require a motion to go into closed session to include a “statement describing the subjects to be discussed during the closed or executive meeting; the justification listed in subsection (b) for closing the meeting; and (3) the time and place at which the open meeting shall resume.”

SB 70 also changes the language of justifications to clarify that the scope of executive sessions is limited to discussion of the specific topic only. Boards are not allowed to take action in executive session.

Francisco pursued the executive session bill partially at the behest of Dr. Alan Cowles, of Lawrence. Cowles testified Thursday at a hearing on the bill before the Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs. Cowles said he became interested in the legislation after being frustrated by a local board that went into executive session without making clear what was to be discussed. Cowles said he was trying to stay on top of an issue but could never be sure when that issue was going to be addressed in executive session.

As written, the current law on open meetings is open to abuses. That’s not all too surprising; it’s often easier and more comfortable for board members to meet behind closed doors to address sometimes difficult issues. In such an environment, closed sessions can become a preferred option rather than an option of last resort.

There’s no drawback to SB 70. It simply clarifies open meetings language to make sure that public boards state clearly and more specifically why they need to close their meetings to the public. If it results in fewer closed meetings, then that’s a good thing.

SB 70 serves the public good and should be approved.

‘I had forgotten that I am black’ So I had myself an epiphany.

Actually, that’s not quite the right word. An epiphany is a moment of sudden clarity, but mine rolled in slowly, like dawn on a crystal morning.

I’m not sure when it began. Maybe it was in 2012 when Trayvon Martin was killed and much of America held him guilty of his own murder. Maybe it was in 2013 when the Voting Rights Act was eviscerated and states began hatching schemes to suppress the African-American vote. Maybe it was on Election Day. Maybe it was a few weeks later, when a South Carolina jury deadlocked because the panel — most of them white — could not agree that it was a crime for a police officer to shoot an unarmed black man in the back. Could not agree, even though they saw it on video.

I can’t say exactly when it was. All I know is that the dawn broke and I realized I had forgotten something.

I had forgotten that I am black.

Yes, I know what the mirror says. And yes, I’ve always known African Americans face challenges — discrimination in health, housing,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

I had forgotten that we’ve been here before, that our history is a litany of people pushing us back after every forward step.” hiring, and a racially biased system of “justice,” to name a few. But I think at some level, I had also grown comfortable in a nation paced

by Oprah, LeBron, Beyonce and Barack. The old mantra of black progress — two steps forward, one step back — had come to feel ... abstract, something you said, but forgot to believe.

So when we hit this season of reversal, I was more surprised than I should have been. I had forgotten about being black. Meaning, I had forgotten that for us, setback is nothing new.

Right after the election, as

I was grappling with this, I chanced to see this young black woman — Melissa “Lizzo” Jefferson — on “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” and she performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the “Negro National Anthem.” Something about that song always gets to me. Something about it always stirs unseen forces, shifts something heavy in my soul.

“Lift Every Voice” was written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900. That was 23 years after the Republicans sold out newly freed slaves, resolving a disputed election by striking a backroom deal that made Rutherford B. Hayes president on condition he withdraw from the South federal troops who had safeguarded African-American rights and lives since the end of the Civil War. It was five years after the first “grandfather clause” disenfranchised former slaves by denying the ballot to anyone whose grandfather did not vote. It was four years after the Supreme Court blessed segregation.

And it was a year in which 106 African Americans were lynched — a routine number for that era.

Yet in the midst of that

American hell, here was Johnson, exhorting his people to joy.

“Lift every voice and sing Till Earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies Let it resound, Loud as the rolling sea.”

Lord, what did it take to sing that song back then?

I pondered that as the year deepened into December, as Christmas came and went, as the ball dropped in Times Square. Now here it is Black History Month, and I know again what I had somehow forgotten.

I had forgotten that we’ve been here before, that our history is a litany of people pushing us back after every forward step. I had forgotten that it long ago taught us how to weave laughter from a moan of pain, make a meal out of the hog’s entrails, climb when you cannot see the stairs, and endure.

I had forgotten that America is still America — and I am still black.

But it won’t happen again.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Feb. 5, years 1917: ago l “The first four IN 1917 days of February were the busiest the Lawrence fire department has ever known, according to Fire Chief W. F. Reinisch. Thirteen fires occurred in those four days, a record that has not been surpassed since the chief has been in charge of the fire department…. The fire department was kept ready for runs at all times, and in each case reached the scene of the fire within a few minutes after the fire had been reported.”

A modest proposal to solve inequality Washington — Tight labor markets shrink income inequality by causing employers to bid up the price of scarce labor, so policymakers fretting about income inequality could give an epidemic disease a try.

This might be a bit extreme but if increased equality is the goal, Stanford’s Walter Scheidel should be heard.

His scholarship encompasses many things (classics, history, human biology) and if current events are insufficiently depressing for you, try his just-published book “The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century.” Judge this book by its cover, which features Albrecht Durer’s woodcut “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”

The tendency in stable, peaceful and prosperous societies is for elites to become entrenched and adept at using entrenchment to augment their advantages. The most potent “solutions” to this problem are unpleasant. They are disruptions such as wars, revolutions and plagues that have egalitarian consequences by fracturing society’s crust, opening fissures through which those who had been held down can rise. Scheidel says that mass-mobilization wars give the masses leverage and require confiscating much wealth from the com-

fortable. Revolutions can target categories of people considered impediments to the lower orders, e.g., “landlords,” “the bourgeoisie.” And the Black Death century was particularly helpful.

By killing between 25 percent and 45 percent of Europeans in the middle of the 14th century, Scheidel explains, the bubonic plague radically changed the ratio of the value of land to that of labor, to the advantage of the latter. The well-off were not amused. In England, the Chronicle of the Priory of Rochester noted that “the humble turned up their noses at employment, and could scarcely be persuaded to serve the eminent for triple wages.” The king decreed wage controls but the canon of Leicester dourly noted that “the workers were so above themselves and so bloody-minded that they took no notice of the king’s command.”

Today’s milksop egalitarians probably will flinch from such a robust attack on inequality, assisted by the rats that carried the fleas

whose intestines carried the bacterial strain. But, then, what really is the problem of inequality? The Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner, noting the “highly redistributive” nature of America’s economy and government, refutes four myths about economic inequality.

The first, that inequality has never been worse, ignores taxes, transfer payments and changes in household composition. In 2013, America’s top 1 percent of earners paid 25.4 percent of all federal taxes, which fund more than 100 anti-poverty programs, dozens of which provide direct cash or in-kind grants to individuals. Combined spending by federal, state and local programs approaches $1 trillion. In 2012, families in the bottom income quintile (less than $17,104 in earned income) received net government benefits of $27,171.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, accounting for taxes and transfer payments reduces inequality almost 26 percent.

The second myth, that the rich inherit rather than earn their money, is true of less than three in 10 American billionaires, a third of whom are either first-generation Americans or were born elsewhere. And the percentage of the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans who grew up wealthy has fallen from 60 percent in 1982 to

32 percent today. Of America’s “one-percenters,” fewer are in banking or finance (14 percent) than are doctors or other medical professionals (16 percent).

The third myth, that the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, is refuted by this historic trend: 56 percent of those in the top income quintile will drop from it within 20 years. Barely onehalf of the top 1 percent of earners are in that category for 10 consecutive years.

And, says Tanner, “One out of every five children born to parents in the bottom income quintile will reach one of the top two quintiles in adulthood.”

The fourth myth is that more inequality means more poverty. For example, in the mid-1990s, inequality was unusually high but basic measures of poverty showed significant decreases.

The fact of inequality is a hardy perennial; inequality is a problem when, and to the extent that, a critical mass of people decide that it is. When developed nations live in what Scheidel calls “a world without horsemen” — without revolutions, massmobilization wars, epidemic diseases — reducing inequality is the province of governments, which know, or by now should know, how little leverage their policies have on income distributions driven by vast economic forces.

The Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile includes the following tests: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios.

I understand that no additional individualized test can be included in the Health Fair profile blood tests. Results are reviewed by a pathologist . The results and a cover letter are mailed to the participant as soon as reasonably possible but in most cases will take about three weeks after the Fair to be mailed from the hospital. I understand that if my identifying information as noted above, including name, address, gender, and birth date, are not fully complete nor legible, the blood profile results may not be able to be correctly processed nor mailed to me. I also understand that results will not be released or mailed to anyone other than myself (including personal physicians).

I give my consent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to draw blood from me for the Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile. I agree that LMH and its staff will not be held responsible for any injuries including bruising, incurred during the blood drawing process. I understand the responsibility for initializing any follow-up examinations for any abnormalities identified by these test, lies with me as the person responsible for my own health and not with Lawrence Memorial Hospital. I also understand that on occasion, my blood may hemolyze (red blood cells can be destroyed) during the blood drawing or analysis processes, and therefore can alter results, and if so, I may be contacted to come back into LMH Laboratory to have my blood redrawn.

I have read, understand and agree to the information and restrictions noted above.

President Trump has formally asked a federal court to overturn a Seattle judge’s injunction halting his immigration ban, after a day in which he criticized the judge’s ruling as “ridiculous” and a “terrible decision.”

In a short notice of appeal filed Saturday evening, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson formally notified the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of their intention. The filing contains no legal arguments; those are expected to come later.

Executive order faces uphill battle in courts Pro-immigration groups likely have process in their favor Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

The Trump administration faces several hurdles in its effort to permanently reinstate an executive order that bans travelers from seven majority-Muslim nations as well as refugees.

By blocking enforcement of the measure Friday, a federal district judge in Washington state set up a judicial process that appears to favor immigration-rights groups and other opponents to the ban at every potential stage of the process.

To start, the administration faces an uphill battle in Judge James Robart’s court.

“The states are likely to suffer

irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,” he said in his seven-page order, referring to Washington state and Minnesota, which joined the case.

The government began the appeals process Saturday night.

To win, it will have to convince a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco. That court is considered the nation’s most liberal, with 18 judges named by Democratic presidents and only seven by Republicans.

And if the issue makes its way to the Supreme Court, five of the eight justices would need to agree to block Robart’s order.

The court is divided 4-4 between liberal and conservative justices while it awaits confirmation hearings on federal appeals court Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia.

The executive order Trump signed Jan. 27 had suspended the entry of all refugees to the

UNITED STATES COURTS

Judge James Robart’s order could set up a chain of appeals that would seem to favor immigrant-rights supporters.

U.S. for 120 days, halted admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely, and barred entry for three months to residents from the predominantly Muslim countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya,

Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Robart told both sides to propose a schedule for the case by Monday night. Under a tight timetable, he could demand an exchange of legal arguments in a matter of days before deciding whether to make his initial order more permanent.

Tough talk from President Trump on Saturday morning and from White House press secretary Sean Spicer the night before did little to help the government’s cause.

Trump called Robart “a socalled judge” whose ruling was “ridiculous, and will be overturned.” Spicer referred to “this outrageous order” but 10 minutes later revised his statement to remove the word “outrageous.”

In the meantime, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security reverted to normal visa and refugee policies Saturday. That

could make it harder for the administration to win an emergency delay of Robart’s order, lawyers representing immigrants affected by the ban said, because immigration and refugee policies are merely back to their earlier status.

Other challenges to the ban, more limited in scope, are pending in district courts in Massachusetts, New York, Virginia and Hawaii. Those states fall into the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 9th circuits, all of which could be asked to rule on appeals.

Eventually, the Supreme Court could be asked to weigh in — either because of a split among the circuit courts or because the issue is of major national importance.

But with only eight justices and charges flying between the president and Democrats in Congress, the high court might be equally divided. That would leave the circuit court’s ruling in place.

Travel resumes after judge lifts Trump’s ban v CONTINUED FROM 1B

travelers.

Trump first blasted the ruling by the “so-called judge,” tweeting that his opinion “essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” ACLU officials promised to oppose the president’s newest effort, which is also opposed by 16 state attorneys general.

After the Red Cross ball, Trump piled on the judge on Twitter again: “The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart.

Bad people are very happy!”

The executive order signed by Trump on Jan. 27 had suspended the entry of all refugees to the U.S. for 120 days, halted admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely and barred entry for three months to residents from the predominantly Muslim countries of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Protests over the ban again erupted in several cities, including New York and Los Angeles.

Several thousand people demonstrated outside the U.S. embassy in London and near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

At airports across the U.S., attorneys and immigration supporters set up makeshift legal offices and gathered to greet inbound immigrants.

The ACLU and other advocacy groups had been working to extend a temporary stay on the order issued last week after it sparked chaos and protests at airports across the country. On Saturday, such groups were urging travelers caught in limbo to act quickly.

“We encourage all U.S. visa holders who have been affected by the order to travel to the United States as soon as possible, while the stay is in place,” said Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project in New York.

Clare Kane, a law student intern at the Jerome N. Frank Legal Services Organization at the Yale Law School, said “people should get on planes as soon as possible to reunite with their families, to access potentially life-saving health care, to flee life-threatening situations abroad, or to come home to their lives in the United States.”

Two prominent Middle Eastern air carriers, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways, national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, said U.S.-bound travelers from those countries with valid

“Congress must step in and block this unlawful ban for good.”

visas would be allowed to board.

Air France, British Airways, Egyptair, Emirates Airlines, KLM, and Lufthansa also notified affected passengers about the change.

Royal Jordanian was also resuming flights to the U.S. from the seven countries targeted by the Trump ban as long as people present valid visas or green cards.

In Kenya, about 140 Somali refugees whose resettlement in the United States was stopped by the travel ban have been sent back to their refugee camp instead, one of the refugees said Saturday.

It was not clear why they were returned a day after a U.S. court order blocked Trump’s ban. Officials with the International Organization for Migration, which runs the transit center in Nairobi where the refugees had been waiting for their flights to the U.S., could not be reached for comment.

“How would you feel? One day you are telling friends bye, wishing them well, and the next you are back where you started,” 28year-old Nadir Hassan told The Associated Press by phone from the camp. “My home for 27 years was a refugee camp. I was hoping to start a new life in the U.S., get an education, a job, a life. We feel bad.”

He had been on a waiting list to leave for about a decade, he said.

Protesters write messages directed toward President Trump on lanterns near the Washington Monument on Friday during a demonstration aimed at Trump’s executive order on immigration.

Trump immigration order has echoes of 1917 law v CONTINUED FROM 1B

that are 98% Muslim and suspended the admission of refugees who come mostly from Africa and the Middle East.

In some ways, the 1917 law serves as a reminder of how different the times were back then.

It banned “idiots” and “imbeciles” and created a literacy test targeting immigrants from Eastern Europe. But immigration historians see similarities in the hostility toward foreign settlers that’s on display a century later.

Trump said he halted the refugee program for 120 days and barred immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries for 90 days to give security agencies time to improve vetting procedures for people coming from terror-prone countries.

Alan Kraut, a history professor at American University and past president of the Organization of American Historians, said he sees something else happening.

“From the moment that Trump in his campaign characterized Mexicans as a bunch of criminals and talked about Muslims in a negative way, it was clear to me and many other scholars around the country where this theme came from,” he said. “It had a long echo.”

As damaging as the 1917 law was, it was just one chapter in America’s long history of discrimination that goes back to the battles against Native Americans and the enslavement of African Americans. There were periods of intense anti-Catholicism focused on the Irish and the Germans and multiple periods of rampant anti-Semitism.

Asians became a target during the California gold rush, as tales of gold-filled rivers lured thousands to California. That led to passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the socalled Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907, which banned most immigrants from Japan.

slaught, dubbed the “Yellow Peril,” culminated in the Immigration Act of 1917, which had such overwhelming support in Congress that it became law despite a veto by President Woodrow Wilson. It was followed by the Immigration Act of 1924, which created an immigration quota system that favored immigrants from Western Europe and marginalized Asians, Africans and other ethnic groups.

Taeku Lee, a professor of political science and law at the University of California, Berkeley, said he senses a similar nativist sentiment today, driven by a mix of demographic changes, economic insecurity and anxieties about national security.

“Today’s fantasied scourge of ‘aliens’ from south of the border and terrorists cloaked in the garb of refugees is the Yellow Peril of the late 19th and early

20th century,” Lee said.

Lee sees another difference.

Wilson opposed the 1917 law and led a global “charge for freedom and against totalitarianism,” including creation of the League of Nations after World War I. By contrast, Trump’s focus is inward-looking, as he speaks critically about the United Nations and NATO while “shying away from this longstanding role of ‘leader of the Free World.’ ” The first step toward overcoming a revival of nativism is to understand its roots, said Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, which advocates for immigrants.

But “what gets us out of this dark moment,” he said, “is leadership from a range of civic and political leaders saying, ‘America is better than this.’ ”

Trump immigration policy could benefit agricultural tech A lettuce-thinning machine by Blue River Technology thins a field of lettuce near Salinas, Calif.

As workforce thins, farms seek new ways to get crops picked Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

MENLO PARK , CALIF.

President Trump’s executive order on immigration has much of the tech world rallying against it. But for one small corner, agricultural technology, it represents an opportunity.

Farmers have been facing an increasingly tight labor market for years. Members of the immigrant workforce that has long picked and packed the nation’s fruits and vegetables move to better jobs as soon as they can, replaced by new immigrants.

Because of a strong Mexican economy that’s created more opportunity there, as well as increased border enforcement, the number of people to replenish the workforce has dropped significantly, said Eric Nicholson, a national vice president with the United Farmworkers of America.

Robotic, sensor and other companies are striving to fill a hole

left by that dwindling human workforce. The technology, from a Lettuce Bot to crop drones to robotic strawberry pickers, is still in its infancy. But agriculturaltech companies say any policies that further keep out immigrants are likely to increase demand.

Of particular concern is the requirement in an early version of the proposed executive order to expand E-Verify, an Internetbased system for businesses to confirm worker eligibility. California has an estimated 330,000 farmworkers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Manuel Cunha, president of the Fresno-based Nisei Farmers League, said he believes as many as 80% might be undocumented.

Should more stringent immigration rules go into effect, those workers will flee, Cunha said.

“They’re worried about having their families busted, so they’re going to leave,” he said.

Trump’s immigration policies “are going to force us to solve our labor problems faster,” said Bruce Taylor, CEO of Taylor Farms in Salinas, Calif., one of the nation’s largest fresh-cut fruit and vegetable suppliers. Taylor spoke at the THRIVE AgTech Innovation Forum in the Silicon Valley town of Menlo Park on Wednesday.

BLUE RIVER TECHNOLOGY

AGROBOT

A robotic strawberry picker built by AgroBot, a Spanish company, is being tested in California as the labor force shrinks.

“I have growers who have had to leave crops in the field to rot because they can’t get pickers,” said Karen Caplan, president and CEO of Frieda’s, a specialty produce company based near Los Angeles.

In contrast to large commodity crops such as soybeans, fruits and vegetables are mostly still worked and harvested by hand because of their specialty nature.

According to the National Agricultural Workers Survey, 78% of farm workers are foreign-born,

the majority from Mexico.

The labor shortage is especially acute in California, which grows one-third of the nation’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts, according to the state’s Department of Food and Agriculture.

“Our customers want more berries, and we could grow them — but we can’t pick and pack them,” said Kevin Murphy, CEO of Driscoll’s in Watsonville, Calif., the nation’s largest producer of berries.

“We’re in a constant search for new technology because of the pressures on labor,” said Hank Giclas, vice president for science and technology at Western Growers, a consortium of fresh produce growers and packers. It opened a Center for Innovation and Technology in Salinas in 2015 specifically to encourage startups to tackle the problems agriculture faces.

Like many companies, Taylor Farms is experimenting with multiple tech solutions — dozens, in fact. That led Taylor to work with Blue River Technology in Sunnyvale, Calif., which makes the Lettuce Bot, a machine that can thin 5,000 plants per minute in quarter-inch spacing while running at 4 miles per hour.

To get the workforce it needs, Driscoll’s Murphy says the company is having to rethink everything about how it grows the berries it sells. That includes growing outdoors on raised tables and on trellises to make picking more efficient and easier for a workforce that’s not interested in backbreaking labor.

He said he thinks if suppliers can make farm work more appealing by judiciously using technology, they’ll be able to get the workers they need.

“We’ve got to get aggressive in how we think about this, so we make the work easier and more efficient. There are people who will want to do it — there are lots of people who like to work outside, who don’t want to sit in an office all day,” he said.

The UFW agrees.

“Right now, it’s a job of desperation. We want to see it become more attractive, a viable profession,” Nicholson said.

Driscoll’s is working on a robotic strawberry picker with Spain-based AgroBot, but it’s several years away from being fieldready, Murphy said. Like a human picker, the machine must be able to determine with a single glance if a strawberry is fully ripe, properly shaped and worth picking.

“It uses optical recognition, taking pictures of the berry from multiple different angles and then crunching the data in real time,” Murphy said.

The Spanish company sees more potential given the current political climate in the United States.

“In the past, the solution was to move the crops to Mexico, where labor was cheaper, but with Trump that’s getting more complicated, so now maybe only technology will be the solution,” said Juan Bravo, founder of AgroBot.

Lego-focused social network offers space for kids App aims to keep young children safe in digital world Edward C. Baig @edbaig USA TODAY

Your youngest kids may be itching to join a social network, but as a parent you’re understandably concerned about their safety online and reluctant to let them anywhere near Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook.

Keeping that perspective in mind, this week Lego launched Lego Life, which aims to give kids under 13 their first digital social experience, while at the same time promising to keep them safe. The minimum age to join Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat

The Lego Life emoji keyboard limits how kids can comment. and other social networks is 13, though some kids falsify their ages.

Moms and dads will appreciate that safety promise, of course, and Legos are obviously popular with families and kids of all ages.

But parents must also be OK with the fact that this free iOS and Android app is a digital venue devoted to all things Lego, in effect a great big advertisement for the brand.

That might not be as much of a deal-breaker as it sounds. Parents don’t seem to mind that the digital channels on which their kids engage promote products or the brand, said Parry Aftab, an Internet privacy and security lawyer who advises on digital best practices.

It’s the trade-off for being free.

“Parents don’t want to pay for online content,” said Robin Raskin, the founder of Living in Digital Times, which examines the intersection of lifestyle and tech.

LEGO

“I think giving kids a collaborative platform, even if it is confined to the world of all things Lego, is a step in the right direction.”

Indeed, Lego Life is about connecting youngsters to fellow Lego fans. Kids can follow and interact with favorite Lego characters (Lego Batman, Emma from Lego Friends, Master Wu from Lego Ninjago, etc.) and groups (Minecraft, Star Wars, villain stuff ).

They’ll come across various Lego challenges and quizzes, and the kids can customize their own personalized 3-D avatars or Lego “minifigures.”

Most of all, the youngsters are encouraged to share their digital and physical Lego creations with their peers.

In that respect, Lego Life head Rob Lowe is perfectly cool with the idea that a kid might leave the app for 20 minutes or so to build something out of Lego bricks that he or she can later show off with-

Lego Life features various challenges for the kids.

in the app.

In one challenge, for example, kids are meant to build a favorite place with their physical Legos and post a picture of it in Lego Life.

In another “Pocket Planet Building Challenge,” the mission is “to create a mini-world and become a planetary engineer.”

“My top safety tip is balance,” digital lawyer Aftab said. “The more things you do offline, the less bad stuff you do online.”

The timing of Lego’s launch is interesting given Disney’s announcement this past week that it plans to shut down the kidfriendly Club Penguin virtual world game on mobile and desk-

top devices at the end of March, as it readies a new experience called Club Penguin Island. Club Penguin has been around since 2005; Disney bought it in 2007 in a deal then valued at $700 million.

Aftab said Lego Life is highly evocative of the early days of Club Penguin.

So how does Lego promise to keep your child safe? For starters, kids are prevented from sharing any personal information. Their real names aren’t used; instead, a random name generator creates a profile identity for your child, using three silly words strung together (EmperorPaleCupcake or AuntQuaintWalnut, for example.)

Parents are asked to verify kids’ accounts via email.

While kids can post pictures and videos of their Lego concoctions — and there must be a Lego component to any content that is shared within the app — there can’t be any people or other identifying information in those images.

All content and comments are closely monitored by trained Lego employees. In fact, a child cannot use words to comment on the user-generated content posted by another kid in order to protect sensitive youngsters from negative feedback.

Instead, kids can only weigh in via a special emoji-only Lego keyboard or by using stickers or prewritten phrases.

There are no in-app purchases within Lego Life either, and the company insists no information is shared outside the Lego Group.

And Lego says it is receiving guidance on Lego Life through an ongoing partnership with UNICEF.

PERSONAL FINANCE ONLINE DIY OPTIONS TO BOLSTER YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES Apps and websites are out there for budgets, insurance and safekeeping of vital papers

Barbara Marquand NerdWallet

Once the optimistic glow surrounding New Year’s financial resolutions wears off, it’s time to roll up your sleeves before losing momentum altogether. Whether you aim to save money or get stuff organized, many apps and websites are available to help. Here are some things you can do, along with a few caveats.

and instructions for loved ones to access after your death. It’s vital to keep information securely stored and let those who need access know how to find it. uThe caveat: Some similar companies have already come and gone. Keep a backup paper file, and let loved ones know how to find it.

SHOW PROOF OF CAR INSURANCE (AND FILE CLAIMS)

Many insurers offer apps that let you pay bills, access policy information and file claims. Your insurer might have an app to help you prove you have car insurance during a traffic stop, avoiding a frantic search through the glove compartment. Unless you’re a driver in Connecticut, New Mexico or D.C. (or your state doesn’t require insurance or ID cards), you can show insurance ID on your phone, according to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America. uThe caveat: Keep the paper card in the glove compartment as a backup in case someone else drives or you leave your phone behind.

New resources online are making home repair jobs easier Michael Rowand

Special for USA TODAY

If one of your appliances has been acting up this winter, you might have wondered whether it’s best to repair it or replace it.

“If the sound of noisy appliances is cutting into your enjoyment of listening to music or watching a movie nearby,” said Sheila Schmitz, an editor for home-remodeling company Houzz, “it may be time to upgrade.”

But with a growing list of selfhelp websites and online videos to aid the frugal consumer, repairing many household appliance issues without a technician might be a viable option.

How can you determine if the price of a repair is worth the effort? The natural price threshold is “right around half of a new product,” said Chris Zeisler, technical service supervisor at RepairClinic.com. Age is an important factor, too.

“You probably wouldn’t want to get into spending $200 on a dryer that’s 15 years old,” he said.

“If you’ve been opening your dryer door with a corkscrew for three years, and now the timing knob has fallen off,” an upgrade is in order, Schmitz said.

Overall, though, many repairs can be performed by the average person, and most appliances have certain repairs that are affordable and can be taught.

“Washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator — all have basic repairs,” Zeisler said.

And it’s important not to be scared into buying an expensive new appliance just because you hear a loud noise coming from the old appliance. Just because a noise is loud doesn’t mean it will be expensive to fix. For instance, one of the most common problems with washing machines, according to Zeisler, can be solved by replacing “a simple $10 roller for the drum.”

Further, many appliance repairs won’t approach the half-

you can’t afford one, seeking help through a low-cost legal aid clinic.

These are powerful documents, and there are plenty of opportunities for missteps, which could wreak havoc later.

For example, Louisiana law says you must sign every page of your notarial (typewritten vs. handwritten) will in front of a notary and two witnesses. If you don’t, the will is unenforceable.

CREATE LEGAL DOCUMENTS

Online legal sites such as Nolo, Rocket Lawyer and LegalZoom provide do-it-yourself tools to create end-of-life planning documents, including wills, powers of attorney and health directives.

Pricing is cheap, starting at under $100 for a simple will. uThe caveat: “Walk very, very carefully with online legal solutions,” said Lawrence Lehmann, an immediate past president of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils. He advises talking to an estate attorney or, if

Mint and Goodbudget offer free versions; Acorns charges $1 a month or 0.25% per year for accounts of $5,000 or more but is free for college students. uThe caveat: Understand how the fees work or, if the app is free, how the company makes money. Some of these apps might be right for you, but evaluate

If a fire destroys your house, imagine listing from memory every item you lost in order to make an insurance claim. That would be tough on a good day. After a disaster, it’s a nightmare, said Amy Bach, executive director of United Policyholders, a consumer advocacy group.

“I think the brain tries to protect you from the sadness of things you lost,” making it harder to remember, she said. Apps such as United Policyholders’ UPHelp Home Inventory and the Insurance Information Institute’s Know Your Stuff guide you through documenting all your belongings.

Proper documentation is a key to getting reimbursed fully by the insurance company. Your homeowners insurance company might offer an inventory app, too. uThe caveat: Remember to update the inventory when you get new stuff. them objectively.

Apps can help you meet personal finance goals, but they can’t do everything. Make sure you address big priorities, such as setting money aside in tax-advantaged retirement accounts and getting the right insurance coverage.

Broken appliance? Consider fixing rather than replacing

4 INEXPENSIVE REPAIRS FOR COMMON APPLIANCES Chris Zeisler, technical service supervisor at RepairClinic.com, suggests some repairs you can do yourself and rates the difficulty on a scale of 1-10: Washing Machine: If the washer fills slowly or does not fill at all, the water valve might be restricted and require replacement.

Cost: $20-$60. Time: 30-45 min. Difficulty: 4.

Dishwasher: If the dishwasher won’t fill properly, the water valve is likely restricted and might need replacing. An underfilled dishwasher won’t clean dishes effectively.

Cost: $20-$60. Time: 30-45 min. Difficulty: 4.

Dryer: If the dryer overheats, the thermal fuse can blow, cutting off power. Unclog the dryer’s vent system (likely the source of overheating), and replace the fuse.

Fuse cost: $8-$25. Time: 45-60 min. Difficulty: 5.

Refrigerator: If the door gasket is defective, cold air will leak out, causing the refrigerator to run longer and/or frost to accumulate in the freezer.

Door gasket cost: $30-$80. Time: 20-40 min. Difficulty: 3.

way-price threshold.

“There are integral parts of all appliances that are not that expensive,” Zeisler said, such as “a fan motor on a fridge, for example, or a water-inlet valve on a dishwasher.”

Even HVAC systems are now getting repaired inexpensively at home, he said: “We’re finding more and more that people are successful at changing pressure switches or igniters or some of the more accessible components without a large service call.”

Making these basic repairs at home, with the aid of online videos and guides, if necessary, can be an important way to save money and extend the life of

appliances.

Still, there are reasons to consider upgrading appliances rather than repairing them, according to Houzz editor Schmitz — “if efficient new models offer water and energy savings, for example.” She said it makes environmental sense to conserve resources and energy, as well as financial sense.

Upgrading appliances can produce substantial long-term savings. “In drought-stricken areas of the country,” Schmitz said, “this could be significant.”

Researching and comparing repair/replacement options for home appliances can save money and improve home values in the long run without huge costs.

KU football lands major commitments

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Prior to this weekend, the Kansas football team hadn’t picked up any commitments for its 2018 recruiting class. Over the course of a few hours Saturday, though, the list went from nonexistent to four deep and included the names of two of the top prospects the state of Louisiana has to offer.

On a day David Beaty

and his coaching staff welcomed a long list of high school juniors to campus, the KU head coach got to open his Twitter app and alert followers of the program’s newest pledges with his signature “#NeatDeal” tweet four times over.

On the final two signals, Beaty included another hashtag, “Louisianimal,” which seemed appropriate when Devonta Jason, rated the No. 6 junior re-

ceiver in the nation by Rivals, and Corione Harris, Rivals’ No. 8 cornerback in the class, announced they had committed to KU. Jason and Harris — both rated four-star prospects from Louisiana — play at New Orleans’ Landry-Walker High, the same school that brought the Jayhawks talented safety Mike Lee. According to what Jason told Jon Kirby of Jay-

hawk Slant, Lee’s freshman success made an impact on the recruits, long before they visited Lawrence.

“Watching him make the plays he did as a freshman and getting the playing time he did stood out to me a lot,” Jason told Jayhawk Slant.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 187 pounds, Jason is ranked the No. 35 overall prospect in the nation by Rivals. He also has offers

from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma and several other SEC and Big 12 programs. According to Kirby, Jason is the highest-rated receiver ever to commit to Kansas.

Harris, a 6-1, 170-pound corner ranked as the No. 60 overall prep junior in the country, also has offers from Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and others.

Their commitments came a few hours after

another Louisiana prospect, running back Anthony Williams, got the day rolling by becoming the first official member of KU’s 2018 recruiting class.

Not long after that, the commitments began to pile up, with Texas quarterback Clayton Tune joining in.

Jayhawks suffer rare home loss

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The longest active home-court winning streak in the country is now a thing of the past thanks to Iowa State’s 9289, overtime victory over No. 3 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.

But there was a time, late in the game, when players and coaches on both sides, along with spectators in all four corners of the building, thought the Jayhawks would yet again find a way to grind out a victory.

That belief rested on the right hand of red-hot

Kansas point guard Frank Mason III, who scored a career-high 32 points in Saturday’s loss but came up just short with a chance to win it at the end of regulation.

The Jayhawks had been in a similar position once before. Tie ball game. Inside 20 seconds to play. Everyone watching and wondering what would happen. Mason with the ball in his hands, dribbling it out while watching the seconds tick down.

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF LAYS INTO AN OFFICIAL after a > JAYHAWKS, 4C traveling call during the second half.

This is how easierthan-most-to-shake upsets happen in basketball: A talented player who doesn’t care how many shots in a row he has missed keeps firing without ever looking back, without ever fearing consequences in the event the shots keep clanking off the rim.

Deonte Burton played that role to near perfection Saturday to lift Iowa State to a 92-89, overtime victory over Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks had won 51 in a row.

In his previous three games, Burton had missed each of his 10 3-point attempts and

Heat 125, 76ers 102 Miami — Hassan Whiteside scored 30 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, Dion Waiters needed only 10 shots to score 21 points and Miami pushed its winning streak to 10 games with an easy win over Philadelphia on Saturday night.

Whiteside had a double-double after the first 9:38, and posted the first 30-20 game of his career even while sitting out the fourth quarter. He played just 27 minutes.

Goran Dragic had 16 points and eight assists for Miami, and Tyler Johnson also scored 16.

The 10-game streak is the longest current one in the NBA, and ties Houston for the second-longest in the league this season. Golden State won 12 straight in November.

Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 for Philadelphia, which was without Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor and Robert Covington. Embiid missed his fifth straight game with a left knee problem, and Okafor sat with right knee soreness. Covington has a right hand contusion.

Cavaliers 111, Knicks 104 New York — LeBron James had 32 points and 10 assists, Kevin Love added 23 points and 16 rebounds in his return from back spasms, and Cleveland beat New York.

The Cavaliers won for the ninth straight time against the Knicks and didn’t even need Kyrie Irving, who didn’t play because of right quadriceps soreness.

Love was back after missing two games and showed why the NBA champions may have no reason to entertain the trade rumors involving him and Carmelo Anthony that surround the teams.

The Jazz erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit with big contributions from Hayward, George Hill and Joe Johnson. A 19-4 run was capped by Johnson’s 3-pointer from the corner that gave the Jazz a 103-96 lead with 59 seconds remaining.

FSHS 2nd, LHS 6th at league swims

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Free State senior Jordan Portela and Lawrence High junior Stephen Johnson are very familiar with one another from swimming club together, so Portela knew he would have to fight through his fatigue in order to win the 200-yard freestyle at the Sunflower League Championships at Indoor Aquatic Center.

Portela did just that, breaking his own leaguemeet record by swimming to a time of 1:41.00 on his way to winning the event.

Johnson placed second despite also breaking Portela’s old record with

a time of 1:42.48.

“I’m not tapered at all, so I knew the back half was going to hurt,” Portela said. “I knew I needed to get out fast and hold on the rest of the race. It’s tough, but it’s really nice to have those competitors.”

Despite fighting through an illness that only allowed him to practice twice leading up to the meet, Portela won three races and led the Firebirds to a secondplace finish on Saturday afternoon.

“I saw great swims,” coach Annette McDonald said. “Overall, I think the guys were strong and positive. They’re chasing down Shawnee Mission

East. We’re a little closer than we thought we’d be, so that means we stepped it up.”

Despite Portela breaking his own league records in the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly (49.55), Shawnee Mission East topped Free State by 78 points in the team standings. The Lancers have won the league every year since 2004.

“Our goal was to take second,” said Portela, who swam in Free State’s winning 200 medley relay, which broke a league record in 1:36.58. “We knew Shawnee Mission East just had too many people (to beat). Overall,

we’re really happy with our races.”

Outside of Portela, McDonald was very pleased with the results from senior Evan Yoder and junior Evan Eskilson. She also cited senior Sydney Lin’s fourth-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke as finish as an example of the team stepping up. Senior Chad Bourdon was champion in the one-meter dive with 425.30 points.

She said Lin improved on his time from two days ago by five seconds, and swam a state-qualifying time.

“I am so proud of these boys,” McDonald said.

“They work really hard,

they’re dedicated, they’re focused, and they have a little fun. Overall, we’re a really strong team.”

Entering Saturday, Lawrence High coach Kent McDonald anticipated that Johnson, junior Alex Heckman and two of his relay teams could do well at league.

But the results were even better than the LHS coach anticipated in the Lions’ sixth-place finish at the league meet. The Lions took second in the 200 freestyle relay and third in the 400 freestyle relay.

Johnson won the 500 freestyle. Heckman had two top-three finishes.

When Johnson finished second in the 200 free-

style, he broke a school record.

“We started off the season as the 200 free being the one he wanted to set the record in,” Kent McDonald said.

Overall, McDonald said he wasn’t sure the Lions could have done much better in any races than they did, especially given their lack of numbers.

“Our relays did really well,” McDonald said.

“They were actually better than I expected. The other teams have enough people to where they could let their better people rest yesterday and let their top people swim today. We don’t have that luxury.”

ATLANTA FALCONS QUARTERBACK MATT RYAN, CENTER, and teammates walk on the field during a visit to NRG Stadium on Saturday in Houston.

Edge in experience could be big factor in Super Bowl Houston (ap) — There’s no hiding it. One edge the New England Patriots have over the Atlanta Falcons in today’s Super Bowl can’t be denied: experience.

It’s a factor never to be scoffed at when the AFC and NFC champions meet for the league title.

Sure, New England (162) has a bunch of young players — 16 with four years or less in the NFL — and the Falcons (13-5) actually have four guys who have played in a Super Bowl: Dwight Freeney, Courtney Upshaw, Dashon Goldson and Philip Wheeler. Don’t let that mislead you.

When a team has a quarterback and a coach in their seventh Super Bowl together, along with a slew of players who helped it win the championship just two years ago, well, that’s the kind of experience that can be key.

Just ask Tom Brady.

“I’ve got a good regulation of my emotions and I know when I need to get amped up and I know when I need to relax a little bit, and I think you learn those things,” said Brady, a three-time Super Bowl MVP who’s 4-2 in the game.

“You kind of have to be right on the edge. It’s such an emotional game.

You don’t want to be out of control, but you can’t play with no emotion. You strike different chords for different emotions at different times.”

That might sound strange coming from a player who rarely hides his feelings on the field.

Just think back to his return game in Cleveland after his four-game “Deflategate” suspension, when Brady was pumping up Patriots fans on hand during warmups.

Yet he insists Super Bowl Sunday calls for moderation in approach.

“It’s a long day,” Brady said. “I mean it’s a long day because it’s been a long week because there’s a lot of things you’re doing. You’re doing a lot more things this week than you normally do for a game week. Just to get to the game, it ends up being ... a four-hour game? A longer pregame and a longer halftime, so ... it ends up being 4 1/2 to five hours.

“You’ve got to be able to have something left at the end of the game. You can’t waste it all early in the third quarter.”

A quick look back to New England’s victory over Seattle in the 2015 Super Bowl shows that Brady and the Patriots had plenty left. They rallied from a 10-point hole to win.

The Falcons aren’t discounting the edge of hav-

ing been down this path.

Freeney, who won a ring with Indianapolis at the 2007 game, believes the mental approach is critical.

“I was 24 or 25 or whatever I was,” he said of playing in the Colts’ victory against Chicago. “My body and everything was just on a whole different level, which is to be expected at that age.

“I think that from a mental standpoint, it’s appreciating the moment.

Now it’s a little bit better, because now I realized through time it’s not something that you get to all the time.

“You have to treasure these moments, really treasure these moments and try to take a moment to take it all in. I think I can look at it from a different perspective now, which I’m not going to say means more, but in a sense it’s a little more special in a way.

“The first one is always the special one and I don’t know if this is the last one or what, but this also is special because I can look at it differently.”

There’s no looking at the stats differently, though.

Atlanta has never won an NFL crown, is in only

its second Super Bowl in 51 seasons of life — a decisive loss to Denver came in 1999 — and rarely has been a contender to get this far.

Since Brady became New England’s starter, he ranks first in postseason wins (24), passing attempts (1,263), completions (788), yards (8,628) and touchdowns (61). He has the most multi-touchdown games (19) and most career 300-yard games (11) in NFL playoff history. He will also become the first player to appear in seven Super Bowls, and with a victory would have the most rings, tied with Charles Haley.

Quite the resume. Plus, his surrounding cast includes some major contributors in other Super Bowls: Julian Edelman, LeGarrette Blount, Rob Ninkovich, Devin McCourty, Stephen Gostkowski ... shall we go on?

“Our role always changes,” Brady said, “and still as a leader and as a veteran I still can express things to my younger teammates and see the things that they’re going through, and try to help them through those things because I’ve been through those things.

“I’m so on them about maximizing their potential and actualizing the things that they want to achieve because I’ve had people that really mentored me. And if I can do that for other players, I love that.”

bron High, in Carrollton, Texas, reportedly has drawn interest from Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and others.

“Excited to announce my commitment to play football for the University of Kansas,” Tune tweeted out, along with a photo of him standing with Beaty and KU quarterbacks coach Garrett Riley. “Thanks to those who have supported me along the way.”

The commitments from heralded Louisiana prospects served as a reminder of the impact Kansas running backs coach Tony Hull, a New Orleans native, is making on Beaty’s staff.

At Jayhawk Slant, Harris told Kirby: “I have known Coach Hull since he coached at Warren Easton. He knew me back when I was playing little league football. He is an awesome man. He has a

great personality and always wants what is the best for the kids. That has always stuck out to me and he treats me like he is a father.”

Both Jason and Harris posted photos on Twitter Saturday of them decked out in KU gear, with Hull at their side, to announce their decisions.

KU-TCU WOMEN AT A GLANCE Who: Kansas vs. TCU When: 1:30 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Series: TCU leads 7-5

Recent success Coach Brandon Schneider’s first Big 12 regular-season win came against Texas Tech last Saturday, but his first win against a conference foe as Kansas’ coach came last year against TCU. The Jayhawks topped the Horned Frogs 81-64 in last year’s Big 12 Tournament after nearly beating them in Fort Worth in the 2016 regular season finale. Kansas will have a chance to pick up its third win at Allen Fieldhouse over TCU, and its second home win in a row.

Jayhawks For a Cure Today’s game is the Kansas women’s basketball team’s Jayhawk for a Cure game, where KU will raise awareness and funds for Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the KU Cancer Center. All fans wearing pink will receive $5 admission, and pink headbands will be given away.

Streaking Sophomore Kylee Kopatich was the only Kansas player to make more than three shots from the field in its 89-52 loss at Oklahoma on Wednesday. She shot 6-of-9 and led the Jayhawks with 14 points.

She’s reached double figure scoring in four consecutive games and eight of her last nine. Kopatich is averaging

(an Alabama transfer) all hail from The Pelican State, too. The Jayhawks signed receiver Takulve Williams, of New Orleans, and picked up a commitment from athlete Travis Jordan (KU hasn’t officially confirmed his signing yet), of Marrero, La., in their 2017 class.

While verbal commitments aren’t binding and won’t become official until National Signing Day,

9.6 points per game, which is her highest average at any point of the season since November 23, when she was averaging 10.5 points.

Slumping Sophomore McKenzie Calvert failed to score a single point on 0-of-8 shooting in the Jayhawks’ last two games. She also played just 24 minutes in those two games, which is the lowest number of minutes she’s played in any two-game stretch all season. She’s still the Jayhawks’ second-leading scorer, but Calvert has seen her scoring average dip from 15.5 points to 10.8 points per game since the start of Big 12 play.

nearly a year from now, the decisions from Harris, Jason and Williams prove more big-time recruits are willing to consider KU, despite the program’s struggles over the past several seasons.

In Beaty’s two years, the Jayhawks are just 2-22.

“We turning Kansas into Louisiana,” Jayhawks receiver Charlot tweeted out Saturday night, in wake of all the recruiting buzz.

IOWA STATE 92, KANSAS 89, OT

Iowa State claims emotional victory

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Opposing players and coaches so seldom get to leave Allen Fieldhouse with smiles on their faces, Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm had to take a deep breath and compose himself Saturday afternoon before getting into the finer details on his Cyclones’ 92-89 overtime victory against Kansas.

The second-year ISU coach couldn’t stop himself from repeating how happy he was for his players during his post-game session with the media.

His pleasure didn’t come specifically from snapping KU’s 54-game home winning streak (51 at the fieldhouse), though.

Prohm mostly embraced

the joy of witnessing his veterans deliver a resume-building win after losing one-possession games to Gonzaga, Cincinnati and Baylor earlier this season.

“It’s a tough business, man,” Prohm responded, when asked what led to him getting emotional.

“And also, man, we’ve come so close so many times this year. You do this because you want to see your kids be happy.

For Monte’ (Morris) and Naz (Mitrou-Long) and those guys,” he said, before again inhaling deeply, “you just don’t want to let them down. They’ve had a great run here.”

Indeed, senior point guard Morris knew as well as any player in college basketball how

difficult it is to win at Kansas. He had visited Lawrence with even more talented ISU teams in tow over the previous three seasons and come up short every time before his 25 points and seven assists helped the Cyclones (14-8 overall, 6-4 Big 12) become the first conference team to win on KU’s home floor since Marcus Smart backflipped in celebration of an Oklahoma State victory in 2013.

“It was amazing,” Morris said of finally helping Iowa State topple KU. “We was just a fortunate team tonight.

It was a great game. It could’ve went either way. They made a few shots. We missed some.

Vice versa. But today was amazing. Very emotional day, you know, for myself and my seniors that’s along the way, because we came up short every year.”

Three seniors caught fire for ISU against No. 3 Kansas (20-3, 8-2). Burly 6-foot-5 guard Burton scored 29 points and buried a career-high seven 3-pointers, blowing away his previous best of three. Mitrou-Long made another six 3s for the underdogs, helping the Cyclones establish a new program record for downtown connections, with 18 as a team.

No 3-pointer proved as deadly as one from backup junior guard Donovan Jackson, in overtime. Left wide open in the corner,

his attack with about six seconds remaining on the clock. After driving hard to his right, the KU senior pulled up near the free throw line and faded to take a jumper over Long’s outstretched arm. The shot missed, just long, and the two teams went to overtime.

“You know, he made that shot against Duke,” emotionally overjoyed Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said, referencing Mason’s game-winner at Madison Square Garden in November, after Saturday’s win. “He’s terrific. I love his game. He’s an A to B guy. He doesn’t mess around with the ball, he can really get downhill....

He’s had an exceptional career here and our team, Monte, myself, everyone, has a lot of respect for him and what he’s been able to do.”

But on Saturday, the Cyclones (14-8 overall, 6-4 Big 12) were more pleased with what Mason was unable to do, even if they didn’t expect it.

Asked if part of him expected Mason to hit another game winner as he watched the KU senior attack Long in the final seconds of regulation, ISU point guard Monte’ Morris said, “I mean, definitely. It was 50-50. Naz had good length on him and he was gonna contest, but, you know, Frank was hot. He missed two shots the whole game, and, luckily, he missed and gave us the opportunity to take it into OT and finish the job there.”

Added KU junior Svi Mykhailiuk, whose deep 3-pointer to tie at the end of overtime misfired: “We always think Frank’s gonna hit the shot. I think

too much time on the perimeter. He made 1 of 6 3-pointers in that one, so the same player who shot the Cylones out of it in Ames shot them to victory in Lawrence.

A case could be made that had Burton, a 6-foot5, 250-pound leaper built like a defensive end, stayed close to the rim in both games, Iowa State would have won at home and lost on the road.

Instead, the reverse happened.

Not that Burton was the only factor, just the X-factor. Kansas turned it over 21 times and Iowa State made 18 of 34 3-pointers on a day their 3-point specialist, Matt Thomas, went 0 for 5 behind the arc.

Burton had made 18 3-pointers all season heading into the game.

just in front of the ISU bench, Jackson put KU in a four-point hole with 28 seconds to play.

It reminded Morris of a similar look a year ago for his former teammate, Hallice Cooke, who missed a late 3 in a typical Kansas victory at the fieldhouse.

“This year we was blessed enough to be in the same opportunity and Donovan stepped up,” Morris said.

The upset seemed highly unlikely earlier in the afternoon. KU shot a sizzling 70 percent from the floor in the first half, going 5-for-10 on 3-pointers, while adding six layups, a Josh Jackson tipin and dunks by Lagerald Vick and Landen Lucas.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) IS DEFENDED by Iowa State forward Solomon Young on his way to the bucket in overtime Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

while cashing 10 of 18 3-pointers for a team-record 18 triples on the day.

“When you’re playing against a team that’s going out there shooting the ball and just having fun, and you let them get comfortable, then you’re in for a game,” Lucas said. “And that’s what we let happen. Once we let them back in it, it was anybody’s game.”

After three straight 3-pointers from Deonte Burton (29 points) and Long (22 points), the Cyclones led by as many as five with five minutes to play and forced Kansas to come from behind to force overtime.

KU did, rather quickly, tying the game at 78 with 4:35 to play and setting up a sprint to the finish.

and dish for a two-handed Lucas slam just before halftime put a punctuation mark on KU’s performance, and gave the home team a 52-38 cushion.

What’s more, the Jayhawks put themselves in prime position for yet another home victory by whooping ISU on the glass in the first half.

Matt Thomas grabbed a defensive rebound 58 seconds into the Big 12 clash, but Iowa State didn’t secure even one more rebound until 2:29 before halftime, when Nick Weiler-Babb converted a tip-in. KU led the battle of the boards 18-1 before that, and held an insane 19-3 advantage at the break. In the loss, KU outrebounded ISU, 45-25.

Three days after making all the plays in a tie game down the stretch against Baylor, the Jayhawks missed a few in this one, and Iowa State made them pay.

No moment was bigger than a corner 3-pointer from Donovan Jackson that followed KU’s Jackson missing the second of two free throws that would’ve tied the game.

With Morris driving hard to the rim, ISU’s Jackson faded to the corner, caught a pass in rhythm from his roommate and drained the dagger.

“I didn’t think Monte would pass the ball to the 3-point line because he’s always dropping to the big guys,” said Mykhailiuk of Iowa State’s 92nd point, which came with 28 seconds remaining. “I was just ball-watching and didn’t see him go to the corner.

That was all my fault that he made the shot.”

The win was Iowa State’s first in Lawrence since 2005 (also in OT) and KU’s first loss at Allen Fieldhouse since falling to San Diego State, 6157, on Jan. 5, 2014.

It also marked KU’s first Big 12 loss at home since Marcus Smart’s Oklahoma State squad back-flipped their way to victory in February of 2013.

But the historical significance of Kansas snapping a 51-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse was not the part eating at Self after the loss.

“It sucks,” Self said.

“But it doesn’t suck because it’s the end of a winning streak. I (couldn’t) care less about that. I just care about our team and performing better.”

KU travels to Kansas State on Monday night for a Big Monday rematch with the Wildcats at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

it was a good shot; he just didn’t make it.”

There’s no way that Kansas (20-3, 8-2) would have even made it to overtime had it not been for Mason’s monster day.

He missed just four shots all day — two field goals and two free throws — and did not miss a shot of any kind until coming up short on a free throw attempt with 7:30 to play and Kansas clinging to a 73-69 lead.

“He was fantastic,” said senior Landen Lucas, who also set a career-high in rebounds, with 18. “He carried the team and that was big time. He kept us

in the game and that’s on us to make sure we help him out.”

After trading baskets for the first 10 minutes, Kansas jumped out to a fivepoint lead on a sweet pass and finish from Devonté Graham to Mason.

After swiping a steal on the defensive end, Graham immediately fired ahead to Mason, who caught the ball near mid-court, took a few hard dribbles to the rim and went over and under an ISU defender for the layup-and-foul.

From there, the Kansas lead ballooned to nine (29-20) after a 3-pointer

from Svi Mykhailiuk (17 points in 43 minutes) and a tip-in of his own miss

by Josh Jackson, who recorded a third consecutive double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds but also was responsible for five of KU’s seasonworst 21 turnovers.

KU led 52-38 at halftime and the Jayhawks said they felt pretty good about their position. But Lucas said KU coach Bill Self warned the team about an inevitable Iowa State run, and the Cyclones made Self’s warning look good, outscoring KU 44-30 in the second half and 10-7 in overtime

Surprised?

“Definitely,” Kansas senior guard Frank Mason III said. “But when we played them at Ames he shot the ball pretty well, but not like that. I knew he could get hot any moment after the first half because he got off to a good start.”

For an underdog, the 3-point shot in basketball equates to a puncher’s chance in boxing.

“They played with house money today,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “They came in and played with a free mind.

We tried to tell our guys they’re going to come in and let if fly. That’s their chance to make a lot of 3s, and we didn’t defend it.”

Burton is a better and more thoroughly scouted player than sophomore Marchello Vealy was when he came to Allen Fieldhouse on Nov. 15, 2006, having made 1 of 14 3-point attempts during his career.

He came off the bench, made his first seven 3-pointers, scored 22 points and led ORU to a 78-71 victory.

Saturday’s game, the fourth in a killer eightgame stretch of the schedule, wasn’t as big a surprise. But Kansas was favored by 10 points, likely the largest point spread during the eightgame stretch.

“We let them get shots up,” said Self, after Iowa State became the first school to beat him twice in Allen Fieldhouse.

“Some open looks, especially in key moments they got some open looks, but they had to do a good job and knock the shots down and that is what they did. All it took was for them to miss a couple of those, and they didn’t. That is what a veteran team like them is supposed to do and props to them for hitting those shots.”

The loss didn’t hurt Kansas in the Big 12

standings because Kansas State upset Baylor in Waco and Oklahoma State upset West Virginia in Morgantown, but KU failing to win a game it led by 14 points at the half still makes it a bad loss. It further illustrated how the team’s lack of depth, absence of a post-up scoring threat and shortage of defensive help for Landen Lucas on the interior translates to closer games than in typical seasons.

Now Kansas must prepare for a Kansas State team coming off a victory at Baylor and a creative K-State student fan base armed with a series of disturbing headlines linked to the Jayhawks off the court.

It will take a tougher performance than Kansas was able to muster Saturday to defeat a K-State team that lost in Allen Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo Fieldhouse, 90-88, on Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk’s KANSAS GUARD SVIATOSLAV MYKHAILIUK (10) gets to the walk-off winner. bucket against Iowa State guard Monte Morris.

NOTEBOOK

Self: KU looked ‘a little fatigued’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There isn’t a non-Jayhawk soul on the planet that’s going to feel too sorry for the Kansas men’s basketball team following Saturday’s 9289, overtime, home loss to Iowa State.

After all, as overjoyed Iowa State coach Steve Prohm pointed out, “The way the league is, win or lose, you gotta move on to the next game because we’ve got a tough road game Tuesday.”

But given the difficult stretch of games and tumultuous couple of weeks of off-the-court headlines the Jayhawks have had to endure, Kansas coach Bill Self said his team may have been a little drained, both physically and emotionally, following a four-game stretch that included games at No. 17 West Virginia, at No. 4 Kentucky and home vs.

No. 2 Baylor when they walked off the floor after Saturday’s loss to the Cyclones.

“

I’ll be honest. I think we’ve done just about as good as we can do. But it’s not easy.

I mean, the kids are tired. I thought that we look a little fatigued the second half, and that’s more mental than physical.”

— Kansas coach Bill Self “I’ll be honest,” Self said. “I think we’ve done just about as good as we can do. But it’s not easy. I mean, the kids are tired. I thought that we looked a little fatigued the second half and that’s more mental than physical.”

Senior forward Landen Lucas admitted that there is a level of mental fatigue that comes with every Big 12 season. But neither he nor senior point guard Frank Mason III said the past couple of weeks had a negative impact on KU’s loss Saturday.

“Not at all,” Mason said. “We’re focused on basketball. That’s our job. We don’t focus on anything outside of that, besides school, so we just let coach deal with all of that. We’re just here to play ball and go to school.”

Home loss stings To a man, the Kansas players made available to the media following Saturday’s setback said the goal from this point on was to focus on not letting this one loss become two.

That’s the mindset the Jayhawks take after every loss, but Lucas admitted on Saturday that trying to do that after dropping one at home was a little more challenging.

“Definitely,” Lucas said while trying to find the right words to explain his emotions. “We don’t, we don’t.... we don’t lose at home so that’s something that’s hard to digest. But at the same time, you have to look at the bigger picture. You are going to lose some, and you just have to learn from them.

So, while it’s tough, we

SENIOR MIKEY WYCOFF WORKS ON A PIECE AIMED AT CALLING ATTENTION TO THE ISSUES OF GUN SAFETY AND CHILDREN on Tuesday at Bishop Seabury Academy. On Monday, contemporary artist Michael Mararian, whose paintings juxtapose the innocence of children with absurd scenarios, will give a public talk at Bishop Seabury. Porter’s class spent Tuesday working on their own pieces inspired by Mararian’s style.

Cui’s mixed-media piece riffs on teenage parents in contemporary society. Its focal point is a small child left alone on a couch, surrounded by junk food.

The parents aren’t there to supervise the kid, but the TV is.

Other works by Porter’s students focus on fears or phobias — fear of the dark, fear of flying, fear of needles or, in senior Vivian Aubel’s case, a fear of the unknown. She spent last Thursday painting the tentacles of a red-and-yellow octopus that will eventually, when she gets to it, encircle a presumably terrified little kid.

“I guess my octopus is college, because I don’t really know what’s going to happen in the future,” Aubel says. “I know where I’m going, but I don’t know what’s going to happen after that.”

The assignments, Porter says, have been “cathartic” for some of her students. It’s a method, she says, of working through some of the very real anxieties faced by young people in an especially turbulent time. Some of the issues they’re tackling — gun violence, corporate farming, the disappearance of bee colonies — are quite timely.

Others speak to more universal fears, like the dread of tackling a big presentation in class.

Either way, she’s proud of her kids. They’ve connected with Mararian’s art, and now, they’ll be able to personally connect with the artist himself.

“This whole thing speaks to the power of art and expression,” Porter says.

“You never know who’s out there looking and watching and caring, and is engaged with you in some way that you’re not aware of,” Derby agrees. “And to be able to reach out and have an experience with that person — it’s really cool.”
