Crafting school funding formula will be daunting task New adequacy standard, new president could complicate the process

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

During the 2015 seseffectively sion, Kansas lawmakers froze fundrepealed the school funding in place ing formula that had been LEGISLATURE for the next in place for more than 20 two years. years and replaced it with The rationale at the a block-grant system that time was that it took two

years to write the previous formula, which lawmakers had adopted in 1992, and so it seemed reasonable to give themselves two years this time to come up with

a new formula.

But in the two years that have passed, the Legislature has done virtually nothing toward developing a new formula.

Instead, the past two

years have been dominated by one budget crisis after another, and a special session in 2016 devoted to answering a Kansas Supreme Court order on school finance

Incoming mayor Soden has gotten used to governing

fter having lived in Phoenix, Kansas City and San Francisco, what brought incoming Mayor Leslie Soden to Lawrence was simple.

“I was just kind of ready to settle down, and I wanted to have my own little place, and a yard and garden and a dog,” said Soden, who grew up in Topeka. “And I liked the people in Lawrence; I liked coming to Lawrence.”

So Soden looked for a job in what was then her field of choice, industrial technology, and moved to Lawrence in 1999.

As the years passed, her involvement in goings-on in the city grew, too.

After getting an East Lawrence Neighborhood Association newsletter in the mailbox of her first home, on Connecticut Street, Soden began attending meetings, and eventually became president.

“

It’s just really good to see that there’s 100 ways that you can live your life, and we have all of those ways here in Lawrence.”

‘Rush’ graffiti has KU police baffled

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

What’s the rush?

University of Kansas police wish they knew.

All semester someone has been marring blank surfaces on the KU campus, plus some in nearby neighborhoods, by painting the word “rush” in various colors. The tagger has struck at least 17 times since August — in elevators at Snow and Fraser halls, across the back door of Smith Hall, on an air conditioning

Justin Alan Vanley of Rose Hill pleaded guilty Friday in Wichita to one count of aggravated identity theft. His sentencing is scheduled for March 24.

As part of his plea, Vanley admitted that one of roughly a dozen co-defendants

Authorities say Vanley used the identity of one of the workers to apply for a credit card with a $32,000 credit limit, waited for the card to arrive and intercepted it before it reached the victim.

KAKE-TV reports that investigators have not publicly identified the victims of the drowning Friday afternoon at Pack Park in central Kansas’ Moundridge.

The woman’s 43-yearold husband managed to stay above the water and ice and was rescued.

Details of why the victims were on the pond were not immediately disclosed.

The network partner located the problem at about 4 p.m. and was restoring service, Schmidt said.

WOW, which includes Channel 6, announced in October that it had entered into an agreement with Midco to acquire the Lawrence system. Midco is a regional cable and internet provider with businesses in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

L awrence J ournal -W orld The changeover to Midco should eventually bring gigabit internet to the Lawrence area, where WOW has more than 30,000 customers in Douglas, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. Midco has a goal of providing the extra fast internet service to most of its customers by the end of 2017, and Midco leaders said that will likely include its Lawrence operations.

Schmidt said that the sale had not closed but that the purchase process was continuing.

Graffiti CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Of 16 graffiti reports taken this semester at KU, 11 were of the word “rush,” Anguiano said.

Most have appeared on the east side of campus, adjacent to the Oread neighborhood.

This fall Lawrence police took six reports of graffiti containing the word rush, said Sgt. Amy Rhoads, public affairs officer for the Lawrence Police Department. Those were in the 900 and 1700 blocks of Vermont Street, the 900 block of Massachusetts Street and the 500 block of Powerhouse Drive, she said.

So far, at least on campus, the tagger hasn’t permanently damaged anything, Anguiano said. But each time, as with other graffiti cases, KU police call Facilities Services crews, who must take time away from other campus duties to remove the graffiti.

“It’s a crime that occurs within minutes,” often at odd hours and in outof-the way places where passers-by might not notice the vandalism right away, Anguiano said. “It’s not real extravagant.”

Soden CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“I just really enjoyed it,” Soden said of her nine years working with the ELNA. “I liked learning about how we have zoning and neighborhood policies — a lot of things that I’d never stopped to think about before.”

She later was the at-large member on the city’s Joint Economic Development Council, then a member of the City Commission, and on Monday, if city commissioners stick with the tradition of promoting the vice-mayor to mayor — which they are widely expected to do — Soden will become Lawrence’s newest mayor.

People-facing jobs In November, Soden took up a part-time job where her clients don’t typically know who she is: driving for the online ride-hailing service Uber. Soden said many of the people she picks up are younger, typically college students.

For those who make conversation, Soden says those interactions have been helpful to her as a commissioner.

“It’s really interesting the things that people will talk about not knowing who I am,” Soden said. “So, I might ask questions: ‘What do you think about this, what do you think about that?’”

For instance, Soden said she recently picked someone up near a stoplight on 15th Street that was newly installed by the city.

“So I got to ask them, ‘What do you think about this stoplight?’ without that person having to feel like they had to diplomatically answer,” Soden

GRAFFITI APPEARS ON TWO ELECTRICAL BOXES affixed to the Wesley Building on the University of Kansas campus, pictured Dec. 27, 2016.

‘‘

We call (tagging) sneaky thrills. The advantage of the tag is you can put your nom de plume up quickly and move on, keep on walking, if not run away.”

— Jeffrey Ian Ross, professor of criminal justice at the University of Baltimore

That’s a key difference between tagging and the usually more artful form of vandalism known as graffiti, experts say.

“We call that sneaky thrills,” said Jeffrey Ian

‘‘

Ross, a professor of criminal justice at the University of Baltimore and author of “The Routledge Handbook on Graffiti and Street Art,” published in 2016. “The advantage

of the tag is you can put your nom de plume up quickly and move on, keep on walking if not run away.”

Taggers find satisfaction in getting away with minor deviance, Ross said. Or they just like seeing their names on things, want to tell people “Hey, I’m here,” or vandalize public places to figuratively give the middle finger to the man — or whoever else might be

passing by.

As for tagging things like electrical boxes instead of, say, beloved university sculptures, that could be out of respect or more selfish concerns, said Rick Stanton, who formerly managed the anti-graffiti program for the city of San Jose, Calif., and now has a business called The Graffiti Consultants.

“In the back of their mind they’re always wondering when and if they’ll get caught,” Stanton said.

“And they know if they do get caught, they’re going to have to pay restitution for the damages they’ve caused. The cost to pay restitution of a utility box is a gazillion times less than it is to clean graffiti off a historic building or a statue.”

As for “rush”?

Ross and Stanton have no idea, either. It’s probably not a gang reference or any kind of hate speech, they said, but rather just the moniker the tagger chose for reasons only he or she knows.

For the month of December, LPD’s officers responded to 6,056 individual calls, down from 6,518 in November and 7,110 in October.

The top five most common calls remain the same, though their order is subject to a bit of fluctuation. They are as follows: l Traffic stops — 1,366 calls, approximately 23 percent of the total, averaging 44 per day. This number is an

The Lawrence school board has scheduled a community conversation around racial equity for Monday, Jan. 30, at Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St. Slated for 6 to 8 p.m. in the school’s cafeteria, the public talks are an extension of the board’s equity goals for the 2016-2017 school year, which include “engaging communities of color in authentic, meaningful, and purposeful ways,” district spokeswoman Julie Boyle told the Journal-World.

They also follow the controversial investigation of racist remarks allegedly made by a South Middle School teacher in the fall that continued to draw criticism from some in the community over a perceived lack of transparency in the case at the hands of district officials.

Tensions finally boiled over during the school board’s Dec. 12 meeting, which was abruptly adjourned after outbursts

from protesters made it difficult for business to continue. The meeting occurred just days after the disclosure of a settlement agreement between the district and the accused teacher — who has denied wrongdoing — in which the district agreed to withhold information about the investigation in exchange for the promise that it would not be sued over the matter.

Part of the school board’s efforts to put that incident behind it, board president Marcel Harmon announced following an executive session Dec. 15, is the formation of a community advisory council devoted to racial equity Harmon issues. Jan. 30’s conversation may help shape that committee, which is still in very early, “very high-level” discussions at

2 officers injured in Police connection with chase

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Two Lawrence police officers received nonlifethreatening injuries early Saturday morning when a suspected drunk driver allegedly struck a police vehicle in south Lawrence and led officers on a high-speed, two-county chase.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads, the incident started when two Lawrence Police Department officers were involved in a traffic stop in the 1500 block of 23rd Street at 2:04 a.m. Saturday. During the stop, a Dodge pickup driven by a Nelson L. Higgins, 50, of Lawrence, is alleged to have struck the rear of a parked patrol vehicle occupied by one of the officers. The collision caused considerable damage to the rear of the patrol vehicle, and the officer in the car was treated for injuries at an area hospital and released, Rhoads said.

Higgins fled the scene west on 23rd Street and then south on Iowa Street with Lawrence Police officers in pursuit, Rhoads said. The chase continued

southbound on U.S. Highway 59 “at a high rate of speed,” she said.

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Blaine Grossoehme said the chase ended at about 2:20 a.m. when Higgins lost control of his pickup on the northbound Interstate 35 onramp from U.S. Highway 59. Grossoehme said Lawrence Police Department officers who were in pursuit arrested the uninjured Higgins at the scene.

A second Lawrence police officer suffered minor injuries during the arrest but refused treatment at the scene, Rhoads said.

Douglas County Jail records show Higgins was booked into jail on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, failing to report an accident, reckless driving, the aggravated battery of a law enforcement office with a motor vehicle, fleeing and eluding with commission of a felony, failure to stop for an accident with damages of more than $1,000 and interference with a law enforcement officer (felony obstruction/resist/oppose).

this point, Harmon said.

“We started putting together the community equity team, so I think this will feed into that in terms of there being people and groups that we may discover need to be part of that districtlevel equity group,” he said. “So, one of the outcomes could be to finalize the membership of that group, as well as potential issues that that group can help work on moving forward.”

Boyle, the district’s director of

per day, respectively. l Auto accidents — 312 calls, approximately 5 percent of the total, averaging 10 each day. This number remained constant when compared with November and is a decrease from October, which saw 10 and 11 accidents, respectively. l Animal-related calls — 302 calls, approximately 5 percent of the total, averaging 10 each day. This number is a decrease from November and October, when the department responded to 11 and 12 animal-related calls each day, respectively. l Parking violations — 275 calls, approximately 5 percent of the total, averaging nine each day. This is fairly constant compared with November and October, which averaged nine and 10 violations a day, respectively.

For the past two months, the single incident requiring the highest number of officers to respond has stood alone.

In December, however, there was a three-way tie with 15 officers responding to each incident. Only one of those was reported in the Journal-World as a

communications, said that several individuals and groups concerned with equity issues have been invited to attend Jan. 30’s meeting, which will also involve the participation of school board members and the district’s Equity Leadership Team. As of now, that list includes the local chapter of the NAACP, Justice Matters, Centro Hispano, the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority and others, including the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.

District principals are also extending invitations to those in their school communities, Boyle added, although anyone interested

crime, however.

On Dec. 1, 15 officers responded to an apartment at 2511 W. 31st St. for a reported armed robbery.

Christopher Hinson, 19, of Leavenworth, was arrested nearly two weeks later.

Hinson is accused of robbing four people inside the apartment of money, phones and other electronics, according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court. He faces four felony counts of aggravated robbery and one felony count of aggravated burglary.

Hinson is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $35,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 24, when a judge will determine if enough evidence exists for him to stand trial.

The other two incidents requiring 15 officers were Lawrence’s OldFashioned Christmas Parade on Dec. 3 and a suicide threat on Dec. 14.

A few other notes from December: l Another incident that required a heavy police presence was a Dec. 2 fatal crash on West Ninth Street.

Just before 9:30 p.m., 58-year-old Bruce Coburn, of Lawrence, was

is encouraged to attend.

Although the structure of the meeting has yet to be determined, district officials have reached out to a third party, the Kansas Leadership Center, to help facilitate the talks. Adrion Roberson, pastor at Kansas City’s DESTINY! Bible Fellowship Community Church, will serve as facilitator, Boyle said.

Harmon also said that Pacific Education Group, the organization that facilitates Beyond Diversity training for Lawrence and other school districts across the country, has also been asked for input on the upcoming conversation and what, exactly, it might look like.

hit and killed by a car as he was walking south across West Ninth Street near the intersection of Illinois Street.

A Lawrence Police Department accident report indicated Coburn may have crossed the street improperly and that his dark clothing may have made him difficult to see.

The car’s driver, Paul Adams, of Lawrence, was neither arrested nor cited at the scene. On Dec. 19, Lawrence Police Spokeswoman Kim Murphree said the accident report remained under review.

As of Friday morning, no charges had been filed against Adams in Douglas County District Court. l Just two robberies were reported in December, a decrease from the seven reported in both November and October.

The first robbery reported involved Hinson, and Murphree said the second report was not a robbery at all, but rather a battery. l For the entire month of December, Lawrence police officers responded to 10 sex-crime calls, a sharp decrease from the 22 calls the department received in November.

Last month, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads reiterated that not every sex-crime report equals a

What’s key, Harmon said, is the opportunity afforded by this kind of meeting — “everybody getting the chance for different groups to listen to each other and see each other’s perspectives,” he said, adding, “I don’t know if that’s been done as well as it needs to be done up to this point.

“The other thing is, how do we talk about race equity in the community? And how does that play out, not just in the school district but in other parts of the community? How do we work toward improving that?” Harmon said. “And certainly the schools are a critical part of that … but we don’t operate in a vacuum. If we really want

crime. Sometimes investigators find sex-crime reports to be unfounded or to have taken place outside of the department’s jurisdiction.

At least one of December’s 10 sex-crime reports was discovered to be unfounded, Rhoads said.

Of the remaining nine, two men were arrested for separate incidents, though only one of those arrests resulted in a sexcrime charge.

On Dec. 25, Mark Meyer, 56, was arrested at the Lawrence Community Shelter after he was accused of sexually touching two people and battering a third. He faces two misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and a single misdemeanor charge of battery.

As of Friday morning, no other arrests listed in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bore an incident number matching any of the reported sex crimes. l As fall turned to winter, the number of reported indecent exposures fell. Both November and October each saw seven reports of indecent exposure while December saw only four.

to make improvements moving forward, this needs to be a community effort.”

Although it’s possible that a few potential action items may emerge from the meeting, Harmon doesn’t expect any simple solutions. What he does expect is lots of conversation — some of it “uncomfortable,” but all of it, ideally, meaningful.

“This is an initial effort at a conversation on equity at the community level,” Harmon said. “There’s not going to be any resolution, but it’s a start.”

House and Senate leaders didn’t even appoint interim study committees that could have taken testimony and held hearings on various school funding alternatives.

Now, with the blockgrant system set to expire on June 30, and Gov. Sam Brownback saying he is not interested in extending it for another year, the 2017 Legislature, with more than 50 brand new members, faces the daunting challenge of having to write a new funding formula from scratch.

Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson said he’s now worried that lawmakers won’t be able to meet the deadline.

“What concerns me is that some people are saying maybe we’ll have to extend the block grant for another year because this is complicated and we have to write a new school finance formula,” Watson said. “As I remember, the reason we did the block grant was to give us two years to write a new school finance formula. And while there was talk, there didn’t seem to be much tangible effort.”

One of the brand new lawmakers who will be working on the project in 2017 is Rep.-elect Jim Karleskint, R-Tonganoxie, who has been assigned to the new K-12 Education Budget Committee, which is expected to come up with a House version of a new formula.

“Hopefully we can get it done this session, but it’ll be a large task,” Karleskint said. “From what I’ve been told, we’re going to start right away spending a great deal of time in committee and working at it.”

The major reason why it took lawmakers two years to write the last formula in the 1990s is that school finance is an issue that divides people along more than just partisan or ideological lines. There are also sharp differences, experts say, between the interests of big school districts and small ones, between urban and rural districts, wealthy and poor communities, and between growing suburbs and shrinking small towns.

“I think the biggest challenge is, it’s a timeintensive task trying to meet the needs of 286 school districts,” said G.A. Buie, executive director of United School Administrators of Kansas, a group that represents superintendents and other administrators.

New legal standard This time around, though, there are even more complicating factors in the school finance debate, starting with the Kansas Supreme Court’s new legal standard for judging whether overall funding is adequate.

In 2005, during the school finance lawsuit Montoy v. Kansas, the court said funding must be based on the actual cost of providing all the

educational services the state required.

But in 2014, in the current lawsuit, Gannon v. Kansas, the court overturned itself and set a new legal standard, one based on educational outcomes.

It said that funding must be sufficient to meet what are called the “Rose standards,” which basically means the funding must ensure that when students graduate, they have sufficient knowledge and skills in areas like communications, civics, career preparation, art and literature, and physical and mental health so they can be full participants in their communities.

As the Legislature gets ready to start the 2017 session, it is also waiting on another Supreme Court decision, hoping it will provide some direction about what kind of funding formula will pass constitutional muster.

Karleskint, who spent six years teaching school finance for doctoral students at Baker University, said that if the court rules that a new formula must be based on outcomes, crafting such a formula will be extremely difficult.

“The Rose standards came out of Kentucky several years ago, and there have been various attempts at writing formulas which reflect those standards, and I’m not aware of any state that’s been

successful at it because it’s such a moving target,” he said.

Both Karleskint and Watson said they think a new formula could be written using the same basic elements as the 1992 plan — a base amount of per-pupil funding for each district, with weightings to provide additional money for hard-toteach populations such as low-income students and English language learners, and some amount of local discretion to raise money above and beyond what the state provides.

But Mark Tallman, of the Kansas Association of School Boards, said Friday that nobody is entirely sure that would pass under the Supreme Court’s new outcomesbased legal standard.

“We don’t know that the old formula would pass muster,” Tallman said. “... The court is still looking at how to apply their new test.”

Trump administration Another potential complicating factor this year is the election of Donald Trump as president and his efforts to push through national legislation to promote “school choice” alternatives such as private school vouchers and Trump charter schools, which are privately operated schools that receive public funding.

The school choice movement also has its advocates in the Kansas Legislature, although to date they have had only limited success in pushing through choice initiatives, such as tax credits for corporate contributions to private school

scholarship funds.

Watson said regardless of what happens in Congress, he doesn’t think proposals for charter schools or private school vouchers will gain much footing in Kansas.

“Our state constitution really limits money going to parochial interests and has some things that would really limit our ability to do charters from a constitutional standpoint,” he said. “That being said, I think also if you look at the rural nature of our state, charters and vouchers make little sense because the vast majority of schools in Kansas are remote enough that it’s not profitable to bring other schools in.”

Trump has nominated Betsy DeVos, a national leader of the school c h oic e m o v e ment, to be secretary of education.

Her conDeVos firmation hearings are set for Wednesday in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts is a member.

EDITORIALS

Research before you donate A local woman’s efforts have helped put a spotlight on dubious practices by so-called charities.

A

n area resident’s crusade to expose a charity as a scam is a reminder to all to research nonprofits before donating.

Kris Alonge has spent a decade trying to get the attention of federal officials about Planet Aid, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that collects used clothing in big yellow bins placed in Lawrence and elsewhere around the country. The clothing is then sold or recycled, purportedly with the proceeds used to provide food and education programs to impoverished communities in Africa. The charity has received more than $100 million in federal U.S. Department of Agriculture grants to provide aid in Africa.

There are serious questions about Planet Aid and its ties to Mogens Amdi Petersen, a fugitive wanted by Danish authorities on tax evasion and charities fraud charges. According to a report by the Center for Investigative Reporting, Petersen is believed to be living at a $25 million compound in Baja, Mexico, paid for by proceeds from Planet Aid and similar charities created by the Teachers Group, a cult-like organization that Petersen founded in the 1970s and that is now the umbrella organization for Petersen’s charities and businesses.

The Center for Investigative Reporting’s research into Planet Aid showed that clothing donations are turned over to a for-profit business also run by the Teachers Group that then sells the clothing, often abroad. An FBI file on the Teachers Group said “little to no money goes to the charities” and that most of the funds are diverted for personal use by group members, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting story. Charity Watch said that in 2015, Planet Aid took in an estimated $43 million in donations but that only about 17 percent went toward the group’s charitable mission.

Worries about Planet Aid are not new.

Questions were raised more than a decade ago when the organization wanted to first place its bins in Lawrence, but after meeting with city officials, the city felt comfortable promoting Planet Aid as a legitimate recycling option. Planet Aid remains one of the recycling options promoted on the city’s recycling website.

Planet Aid has denied the allegations in the Center for Investigative Reporting story. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture has said trips to Africa to inspect Planet Aid projects funded by the USDA grants have uncovered no wrongdoing.

Alonge, who has been praised for her persistence and credited with being a whistleblower on Planet Aid, said she believes Planet Aid takes donations away from worthy charities, particularly local ones.

Alonge is no doubt right. What’s unfortunate is that even the most modest research — googling Planet Aid, for example — would expose the serious questions about Planet Aid’s activities.

The Federal Trade Commission advises potential donors to get detailed information about a charity’s identity, mission, costs, and how the donation will be used before contributing. Organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch and GuideStar are available online and can provide helpful data and ratings about thousands of nonprofits.

Legitimate charities and nonprofits are vital to any community, but the efficiency and quality of the programs offered can vary widely. The Planet Aid saga underscores the importance of doing some homework before donating.

Letter to a gorgeous human being Dear Michelle Obama: This is just a note to say that I think you’re gorgeous.

I’ll thank you not to share that with your husband, given that I have no desire to open my door and find a predator drone waiting for me. Or, worse, an IRS auditor.

And yes, as a 21st-century U.S. male, I am well aware of the minefield a guy enters when he assays public discussion of a woman’s looks.

But I take the risk in order to express the head-snapping disconnect I feel whenever some white person attacks you on the basis of being insufficiently pretty for their tastes.

Obviously, it’s sexist, this implicit notion that you exist for their approval. But for me, it also calls their eyesight into question. I always find myself wondering: Are they seeing the same woman I am? Are they seeing this statuesque lady with lively eyes and a smile full of fun?

They aren’t, of course.

That’s the entire point. I see an attractive wife and mother, a lawyer, author, activist, educator and fashion trendsetter. But they see you — more accurately, fail to see you — while look-

Obviously, it’s sexist, this implicit notion that you exist for their approval. But for me, it also calls their eyesight into question.” ing through a prism of their own fears and stereotypes, a broken-glass refraction of hateful images whose repulsiveness ultimately says more about them than it ever could about you.

This has happened repeatedly. In November, some bureaucrat in West Virginia called you “an ape in heels.”

Last month, a GOP official in New York said you should “return to being a male” and live with an ape in a cave in Africa.

The bureaucrat, of course, swore she was “not of any way” racist. The official,

naturally, swore that race had nothing to do with his words. They did this with straight faces. One would guess they now sleep the untroubled sleep of the truly righteous — and utterly clueless.

We’ve had over eight years of this.

Now we reach the point where the Obama era is measured in days. And I, like many people, find myself reflecting on what your husband and you have meant to the nation you served.

I’ll address myself to him in a few days. For now, for today, I just want to express how awed I am by the grace with which you have carried yourself through nearly a decade of racial denigration from ugly, stupid people.

They have denied your patriotism, your femininity and your humanity. They watch even now in acquiescent silence as the incoming president plays tonsil hockey with Vladimir Putin, but they acted like you were the reincarnation of Joseph Stalin when you planted a garden and encouraged kids to exercise.

It would be enough to make anyone bitter. But you never gave them the satisfaction of your attention,

much less your bitterness.

Instead, you just did you.

And “you” was enough. By the time your husband had been in office six months, many people could no longer remember what the fuss was about.

But too many others are still like the West Virginia bureaucrat and the New York party hack. Too many others still offer too many stark reminders that where race is concerned, America remains an unwell nation.

And that it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Yes, I know what you’d say: “When they go low, we go high.” I don’t mind telling you that I am finding that easier said than done. But your example challenges me, and that’s not nothing.

So, farewell, Mrs. Obama.

Please know that, as an American — and particularly as an African American — I am proud of how you’ve conducted yourself as first lady. At risk of political incorrectness and IRS audit, I reiterate what I said coming in.

You, madam, are gorgeous — in many more ways than one.

PUBLIC FORUM

Academics To the editor: Bravo, Sara Shepherd and Lawrence Journal-World editors! When I flipped open the morning paper recently, I was greeted by the smiling face of a young scholar, Megan Jones, and the story of how she was being lauded nationally. I’m sure that I am not alone in saying that I really enjoy reading about academic achievements and would love to read much more about many others.

Some may not realize it, but there are more than 40,000 students in Lawrence. Counting KU, Haskell and the Lawrence school district employees, well over half of Lawrence’s 90,000-plus inhabitants are directly involved in some way in our city’s No. 1 endeavor: academics. So although there are many events that grab “average” readers in “average” municipalities (political/budget disasters, scandals, game scores, gore, etc.), many of us who are part of this academic enterprise are instead riveted by stories describing cool research, awesome courses and the academic awards won by students, scholars and educators.

There are so many brainy things going on in our schools and on campus that this intellectually aware, socially responsible, forward-thinking public would love to find out about. From bamboo bicycles to flying dinosaurs to international exchanges, new drugs and spaceships, we have a lot to be proud of. I for one look forward to reading more about all of them. So keep those great stories coming, Sara/LJW! Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, Lawrence

Odd denial To the editor: I do not understand why three Lawrence city commissioners voted against the proposed development in the 800 block of Vermont Street supported by the city manager and their own outside consultant. It would only add millions of dollars to the city coffers in the next 50 years, and would complement similar, recent, well-done construction on New Hampshire to enhance downtown Lawrence.

James R. Mather III, Lawrence

eannette Blackmar has a cure for Baldwin City residents who are sick of the dull monotones of winter. The Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce director is inviting them to embrace the Community Mural Program by helping fund and design the mural that will be painted downtown this spring.

The project is a partnership of the city, the chamber, the Lumberyard Arts Center and the Baldwin City Tourism Bureau.

Planning for the first of those murals, to be painted on the west wall of 608 High St., is already underway and now needs community support, Blackmar said. The city has made $3,000 available for the project through its downtown mural and facade program and the Tourism Bureau has also made a contribution. The project is now attempting to raise $550 from community donations. Blackmar said collection jars have been placed at the Lumberyard, Antiques on the Prairie, Baldwin State Bank, Kansas State Bank, Mid America Bank, Baldwin City Market, Gregg Bruce Auto and Performance and the chamber office.

Contributions can also be sent via gofundme.com/bc-community-mural-programfund.

The public is also being invited to help design the mural, Blackmar said. That will be done in a series of forums at which residents will be invited to share thoughts about what makes Baldwin City unique, what the community values and what its heritage is, she said.

A design team of 10 to 15 members will further develop ideas shared at the forums, sketch ideas and develop consensus on the final design.

Lawrence artist Dave Loewenstein will lead the community effort to paint the mural in April, Blackmar said.

It is expected to take 15 days. Once again,

“

This is open to everyone. You don’t have to be creative or a great artist to participate. All are welcome to paint on the wall.”

residents “young, old and in between” will be invited to help with the process, she said.

“This is open to everyone,” she said.

“You don’t have to be creative or a great artist to participate. All are welcome to paint on the wall.”

The 608 High St. mural is the first of 5 to 10 murals envisioned, which will draw from Baldwin City’s cultural heritage and history.

Blackmar envisions murals spaced around the city of such subjects as the Santa Fe Trail, the Battle of Black Jack, Signal Oak and the founding of Baker University.

“The murals will stimulate interest in Baldwin City’s rich cultural heritage among visitors and residents,” Blackmar said. “I can see people taking a bike tour from mural to mural to learn about more about Baldwin City.”

The goals of the mural project are to leverage the community’s heritage as a community development resource, increase community pride, increase tourism and

Eudora museum Eudora should see the fruit of a shared community project in June when the Eudora Community Museum will be the first of six hosts of the traveling Smithsonian exhibit “Water/ Ways.”

Landing the show presented a challenge to the museum. The exhibit is to be on the building’s second floor, which was not renovated with the bottom floor for the museum’s March 2015 opening.

The top floor could also only be accessed by a rickety outdoor staircase from the back of the building. To address that, the museum sought and was awarded last spring an $89,000 Douglas County Cultural and Natural Heritage Conservation Grant to build an extension on the museum with an elevator and indoor staircase to the second floor.

Ben Terwilliger, executive director of the Eudora Area Historical Society, said work on the extension was nearly complete and ready for the elevator’s installation.

Renovations to the top floor were also ongoing, Terwilliger said. Much of the wall plastering and ceiling and floor refurbishing has be completed in the west part of the second floor, he said. The east part is not as far along, but he anticipated it would be completed in time for the Smithsonian exhibit in June, he said.

The “Water/Ways” exhibit deals with the centrality of water to our lives, looking at how we need it, use it and protect it.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

DEMOCRATIC CONTESTANTS TO FACE TOUGH QUESTIONS Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

The Democratic National Committee is throwing the doors open for a frank discussion of what went wrong in the 2016 election — and how to retool for the future.

As the party searches for a new chair and vice chair, the DNC has decided to hold four regional forums, moderated by journalists instead of party insiders. It’s the first time Democrats have held regional forums for party elections in more than 10 years.

The idea is to expose the candidates to the tough questioning needed — and that the party’s new chair will face in office — as the party seeks to rebuild after Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss on Nov. 8.

The party faces significant challenges in the effort to revamp its leadership and re-energize its base. In addition to taking the White House, Republicans now control a record 67 of WASHINGTON

the 98 state legislative chambers, more than at any other time in the history of the Republican Party, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The dates and moderators for the DNC events, which will be live-streamed, are: uOn Jan. 14 in Phoenix: Jon Ralston of The Nevada Independent uOn Jan. 28 in Houston: Evan Smith of The Texas Tribune uOn Feb. 4 in Detroit: Ron Fournier, editor of Crain’s Detroit Business uOn Feb. 11 in Baltimore: April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks The moderators were chosen to straddle the spectrum of Democratic constituencies. For instance, Ryan is likely to address the concerns of urban African Americans, such as overhauling the criminal justice system.

Fournier is a hard-nosed journalist and former Associated Press Washington bureau chief who was openly critical of the Clinton campaign and hails from a Rust Belt state that Democrats lost for the first time since 1988.

Hillary Clinton makes her concession speech Nov. 9.

In addition to taking the White House, Republicans now control a record 67 of the 98 state legislative chambers.

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., is being considered to lead the Democratic National Committee in retooling the party.

bers will choose their next leader during the weekend of Feb. 2326 in Atlanta; it’s part of a long process of soul-searching that will give early indications of where Democrats decide to steer a party that has also suffered sig-

nificant losses at the state legislative and gubernatorial level over the past decade.

Already the race is showcasing the tug by party activists who believe it needs to take on a more progressive cast. The top con-

tenders for the next party chair include Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison and Labor Secretary Tom Perez.

Ellison is a leading figure among congressional progressives with the support of Sens.

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as Sen. Charles Schumer, the new Senate minority leader. Perez has deep ties with unions and the labor community as well as with the Obama administration. He bills himself as an experienced manager who can rebuild the party’s infrastructure.

tial motivation,” Piro said. “At this point, it appears he acted alone.” He added it appeared the suspect followed federal procedures in checking in the weapon before boarding his original flight.

Piro also said authorities have conducted more than 100 interviews in connection with the case and have confiscated evidence, including cellphones and laptops.

Authorities in Alaska who last year referred Santiago for mental evaluation said Saturday he was allowed to retrieve his gun in early December. Santiago could not be denied his weapon because he was not declared “adjudicated mentally ill,” Alaska U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said during a news conference.

Federal law prohibits the mentally ill from possessing weapons, but only if they’ve been formally declared adjudicated.

In November, the suspect appeared unannounced in the FBI offices in Anchorage, complaining that the Islamic State had gained control of his mind and was urging him to fight on its behalf, a federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak publicly about the incident told USA TODAY. “His erratic behavior concerned FBI agents,” Piro said.

The FBI conducted a background check, learning of his military record, which included service in Iraq, but found no connection to terror groups. Determining that the man apparently needed psychiatric care, the FBI alerted local law enforcement and turned him over to their custody for a medical referral. It is not clear whether Santiago received treatment following that incident.

Passengers and their relatives described screams and horror as shots rang out in the baggage

area.

Karen Amador, 47, of Boynton Beach, Fla., said she was just arriving to pick up her father, who was flying in from Puerto Rico, when she saw two helicopters hovering over the runway.

She described seeing large numbers of law-enforcement vehicles coming in. “It’s insane; it’s like a war zone,” Amador said. “I saw so many SWAT cars going through.”

Operations resumed at the airport on Saturday morning, although some flights were canceled or delayed.

The airport was shut down for nearly 16 hours following the attack.

The names of the slain victims released so far: uTerry Andres, of Virginia.

He was a volunteer support technician with the Oceana Volunteer Fire Department from April 2004 through 2010, said Art Kohn, spokesman for the Virginia Beach Fire Department. uMichael Oehme, 57, of Iowa, was identified as a victim by his sister. Elizabeth OehmeMiller also told the Associated Press by phone Saturday that her brother’s wife, 52-year-old Kari Oehme, was shot in the shoulder and was expected to recover. They flew to Fort Lauderdale to go on a cruise, she said.

Gov. Rick Scott said Saturday that authorities would be meeting incoming cruise ships in the area and helping direct tourists to other airports to relieve congestion at Fort Lauderdale facility.

The diversity of concerns driving participants to the nation’s capital makes it unclear how much impact they’ll have. Organizers hope the march, bringing together more than 100 interest groups, including the Sierra Club, NAACP and MoveOn.org, will spur a wave of activism on the left, much like the conservative Tea Party’s origin as a grassroots movement.

“We see this as the first convening,” said Janaye Ingram, the head of logistics. “New alliances will be forged through this effort.”

They enlisted star power and support from a previous generation of activists: labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta joins feminist icon Gloria Steinem and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte as honorary co-chairs.

Some of the organizers, such as Perez and Tamika Mallory, worked with Belafonte’s nonprofit Gathering for Justice.

“The rhetoric of the past year alarmed people, it galvanized people,” said Cassady Fendlay, communications director for the march. “But we also recognize these issues didn’t just happen in the past year.” She cast the march not as a Trump protest but an attempt “to speak to all levels of government.”

The march started with Shook and has blossomed into a diverse coalition of women — and some men — coming together to highlight their concern over a broader array of issues, including criminal justice and climate change. Perez called the event an “entry point” for many women to get involved in their communities. “We hope it will ignite a spark in them to go back to their communities and do something,” she said.

‘WE’RE WATCHING’

Many of the issues the suffragists talked about in Seneca Falls in 1848, including equal- pay mandates and affordable child care, remain unfinished business.

“We’ve been trying to move forward, but at this point, women have to fight just to maintain what they have,” said University of Scranton political historian Jean Harris. “Having this march right now is important to say we’re not going to take this.

We’re watching.”

Some of the participants acknowledged that there isn’t a cohesive message, and some booked their flights and hotels in a state of shock after Clinton’s loss. “All of this disappointment rolls into one giant ‘I’m going to fly to D.C.’ ” said Elizabeth Nash, state issue manager at the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research group.

Since then, concerns among women’s rights activists have crystallized, said Nash, who points to state-level trends working their way to Washington. Though Trump’s daughter Ivanka pushed for paid maternity leave during the campaign, it is not emerging as a top priority of the new White House, and the list of women’s concerns is long.

President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office Jan. 20. An estimated 200,000 people will participate in the Women’s March on Washington the next day.

For example, the average number of abortion restrictions passed from 1980 through 2009 was 16 per year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data provided by Guttmacher. From 2010 through 2016, the average was 61. These include ultrasound and fetal heartbeat mandates.

“The threat is real,” said Nash, who will join the march.

Other concerns include Congress rolling back funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides free breast cancer screening and health services. The same goes for contraception coverage provided under the Affordable Care Act, as well as access to mammograms with no co-pay or deductible. Because more women receive Medicare than men, changes to the program would disproportionately hurt them.

The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment.

Bark out “Alexa” in the congested halls of CES, and you would have heard a chorus of devices, from cars to smartphones to household appliances, answer back.

OK, so not literally, but Alexa is assuming an increasingly substantial role across numerous products, a sure sign that Amazon is leaning on its vocal digital assistant to spread artificial intelligence everywhere, and certainly go well beyond the popular Echo speaker where Alexa got her start.

Rival Google Assistant isn’t as prominent at this CES, though hot chipmaker Nvidia aims to expand its reach throughout the home, and Google announced integrations in the car with Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai. Rishi Chandra, the vice president for Google Home, also gave a talk last week on smarter homes for everyone.

Microsoft’s Cortana and Apple’s Siri have a much lower profile at CES as well, but none of these Amazon rivals should be underestimated in the voicedriven AI space, still in its relative infancy.

For its part, Amazon announced more than 35 new partners last week, some that embed cloud-based Alexa smarts directly into their products, and are completely independent of Amazon’s Echo, Echo Dot, Tap or Fire TV, which all come outfitted with Alexa.

Some of the tie-in products still require Echos and Echo Dots, adding to the now more than 7,000 “skills” that Alexa is capable of.

And Alexa is a new voice inside Ford’s Sync3 infotainment system.

The Mate 9 phablet from China’s Huawei, which was released in the United States on Friday, became the first smartphone in the world to have Alexa preinstalled, pitting her against Siri in the iPhone, and the Google Assistant in Android devices.

Needless to say, Amazon will presumably be all too pleased to have you restock the LG fridge by ordering groceries right then and there via Alexa and Amazon Prime.

Amazon, of course, is encouraging all of these partnerships.

novate using Alexa.”

Whirlpool is among the companies adding skills that require Echo or another Alexa-enabled Amazon product. So you’ll be able to say to an Echo, “Alexa, ask Whirlpool to put the dryer into wrinkle shield” or “Alexa, preheat the oven to 350.”

You can similarly control Samsung’s new POWERbot VR7000 robot vacuum by voice through an Echo.

And starting this month, ADT customers will be able to arm and disarm their security via their voice and Echo products: “Alexa, tell ADT to disarm my security alarm, using PIN 3095.”

Of course, some products are compatible with more than one assistant: Belkin says its $34.99 Wemo Mini home automation smart plug works with Amazon Echo and Google Home devices, for instance.

And even before all of these companies descended upon Las Vegas for CES, the Wynn hotel announced its intention to supply Echo speakers in every room.

All this activity is obviously good news for Amazon, but whether Alexa-everywhere is also good stuff for consumers will vary case by case.

I’m a fan of Echo, but it remains to be seen how well each partner exploits the Alexa relationship. Needless to say, there is always room for improvement.

Google is further along, for instance, in letting you have a “conversation” with a digital assistant. And by no means count out Apple or Microsoft.

Consumers must also be mindful of privacy, what with all those devices listening and capturing what you have to say — including those PIN codes.

Still, anyone who has spent a lot of time with Alexa generally likes her.

“I think it’s going to help Amazon, and I think it’s going to help the industry because (Alexa) is already an accepted format,” says Tom Campbell, chief technologist and corporate director for Video & Audio Center, a Los Angeles area-based retail chain. “So the more you can broaden that format into your car, into other devices, you’re comfortable with it because you already know and you use it and you trust it.”

Volkswagen bets on SUVs to win back fans Emissions scandal left weak links in carmaker’s lineup Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The biggest auto show of the year represents a critical opportunity for Volkswagen Group to begin regaining its customers’ trust after a devastating emissions scandal. But it’s unlikely to find much sales success unless it can find more ways to plug the holes in its car-heavy model lineup.

The automaker enters 2017 with a list of models that doesn’t match up well with customer demands. Once big-selling car models such as the Passat and Jetta, traditionally the core of the German automaker’s lineup, are slumping with gas prices remaining low.

VW will take the first steps toward better balancing its product line at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit with a preview event Sunday and a press conference Monday where

The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, a seven-seater SUV, gives Volkswagen a chance to reassert itself in the world’s most lucrative automotive market. it will introduce a redesigned Tiguan crossover, which is getting bigger and better.

With Tiguan and a recently revealed new seven-seat SUV called the Atlas, VW has a chance to reassert itself in the world’s most lucrative automotive market. The company will also unveil an electric vehicle concept at the Detroit show.

“They’ve got a lot of work to do,” AutoTrader.com analyst Michelle Krebs said. “What’s their hook gonna be now? It used to be German handling, craftsmanship.

They’ve got to find their hook that’s not diesel.”

VW continues to reel from its diesel scandal, in which it admitted to rigging cars to beat emissions tests. It is paying about $11 billion to buy back diesel vehicles and compensate owners.

Volkswagen said in late 2016 that it would launch an “SUV offensive” in the U.S., seeking to capitalize on the highly profitable segment. The redesigned Tiguan

and new Atlas will be key players in that strategy.

But that offensive will take time. While awaiting the Tiguan and Atlas to hit full speed, Volkswagen is lavishing discounts on cars to help dealers move inventory.

December incentives per Volkswagen vehicle soared 20%, compared to a year earlier, to $4,392, according to TrueCar. The industry average was $3,673.

Although December vehicle sales rose 20.3% as a result, compared to a year earlier, the brand’s 2016 sales were down 7.6% in a year in which the U.S. auto industry notched another all-time sales record.

The discounts are draining the bottom line, which is already ailing after VW agreed to buy back or repair nearly half a million 2-liter diesel vehicles and another approximately 80,000 3-liter models in settlements with consumers, the U.S. government and California regulators.

“They’ve got a lot of work to do.

It used to be German handling, craftsmanship.

They’ve got to find their hook that’s not diesel.”

Michelle Krebs, AutoTrader.com analyst

“Consumers are perfectly willing to look the other way ... if the deal is there,” said Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Cars.com.

“But once again that’s more money that Volkswagen is going to have to put out” to revitalize its U.S. presence.

A Volkswagen spokesperson was not available for comment.

One factor that could ironically work in Volkswagen’s favor is the buyback program, which is already underway for owners of 2liter four-cylinder diesel cars from the 2009 through 2016 model years. Although VW owners are not obligated to spend their buyback money on a new VW car, there’s a good chance many will.

The problem is Volkswagen doesn’t have many alternative-energy vehicles to sell to buyers who purchased their diesel cars in part for environmental purposes. It recently bolstered the battery-powered range of the e-Golf electric car by nearly 50%, from 83 miles per charge to 124.

But its projected range trails the comparable Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle, which began sales in recent weeks and can travel 238 miles on a charge.

Volkswagen’s road map calls for 30 electric models globally by 2025, including what it described as “local production” of an electric vehicle for sale in North America beginning in 2021.

But VW must recognize that diesel aficionados who often prize power and driving capability aren’t necessarily seeking the same attributes as electric car fans, Wiesenfelder said.

“Certainly some people are just efficiency-minded, and those people might make the transition, but it would be unwise to think of EV buyers and diesel buyers as the same,” Wiesenfelder said.

Stay away from politics with fiancée’s family Dear Annie: My soonto-be mother-in-law and I are in an all-out war via social media.

It all started when she posted an article about politics that was full of blatant lies and misinformation. I commented with a few links so she could do further research and see that she was totally wrong. She replied by saying that I am young and naive and my sources were biased. I doubt she even actually read them.

We went back and forth all day, and eventually I told her that she is an idiot if she truly believes what she was saying. She told me to talk to her again when I am ready to grow up. This was about two weeks ago.

My fiancee, ‘’Becky,’’ is not happy with me, to put it mildly. While she doesn’t agree with her mom, she’s furious that I would be so

Dear Annie

disrespectful. I feel that her mom was the first one to be disrespectful, by telling me I’m naive.

Becky wants me to call her mom and apologize, but I’m still so annoyed with this woman.

On principle, I refuse to do it. I wasn’t wrong, and I’m not backing down. I know you have to choose your battles, but I think this one is worth fighting. Annie, what do you think?

— In the Doghouse Dear Doghouse: I’m not one for name-calling,

‘Transition’ recalls changes of presidents With only 12 days left until Inauguration Day, “Transition of Power: The Presidency” (8 p.m., History, TV-PG) takes a two-hour look at the handover of the executive branch from one commander in chief to the next.

Beginning with the end of George Washington’s second term, the notion of a peaceful transition has been a key part of American governing history. Up until then, rulers were generally monarchs or tyrants, deposed only by death, natural and otherwise. ‘‘Transition’’ dates the current process to Harry S. Truman, whose sudden ascendance to the presidency in 1945 saw him woefully uninformed and unprepared.

After serving as Franklin Roosevelt’s vice president for only a few months, he was unaware of the Manhattan Project and other key wartime initiatives.

When he prepared to leave office after the 1952 election, Truman established the tradition of providing intelligence briefings for both major party candidates well before Election Day, so both would begin to familiarize themselves with major policy initiatives too secret for public consumption. ‘‘Transition’’ bounces back and forth in history between relatively smooth handoffs, like the last transfer between George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and the tragic events that put Lyndon Johnson in the Oval Office in 1963, the slow unraveling of the Nixon administration from 1973 to ‘74 and the temporary chaos that ensued after Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.

While some presidents saw the transitional period as a time to slow down and adjust to ‘‘normal’’ life, Jimmy Carter worked until the very last moment to secure the release of American hostages held

by Iran. He attended his successor’s 1981 inauguration having gone without sleep for 50 straight hours.

O The Smithsonian Channel invites viewers to spend the next four Sundays with “The Real Mad Men of Advertising” (8 p.m.).

Beginning tonight with the 1950s, ‘‘Real Mad Men’’ takes a decadeby-decade glance at the use of advertising, mostly television, to sell products, and the notion of consumer culture.

The first installment demonstrates how TV advertising changed the attitudes of Americans toward spending after decades of Depression privation and war rationing. The advertisements — from Howdy Doody to MTV — are largely drawn from campaigns curated in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Tonight’s other highlights O Jimmy Fallon hosts the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards (7 p.m., NBC). Among the highlights: Eight-time Golden Globewinner Meryl Streep will be honored with the 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award.

but I will say that if there’s an idiot in this scenario, your future mother-in-law isn’t it.

You’re not winning any battles, just losing the respect of your future in-laws. That’s not to mention all the strain you’re putting on your fiancee. If you want to debate politics, join a forum or call your representative or yell at the TV; do whatever it takes to get it out of your system. Just don’t do it with your partner’s family.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from ‘’Sad and Fed Up,’’ whose husband drinks every night and has refused for years to have sex with her. You advised her to go to Alcoholics Anonymous, but AA is for alcoholics, not for their family members (unless she can find an ‘’open’’ meeting).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Jan. 8: This year you move forward with a tried and tested plan. Your creativity emerges in the process.

If you are single, you might meet someone who could become much more than just an acquaintance. If you are attached, fall 2017 will be meaningful for both you and your sweetie.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You might have planned this day to get certain projects done, but you could wake up with a sense of concern. Tonight: Tell it like it is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Nothing is written in stone. Have a long-overdue talk with someone about your priorities, and listen to what is important to him or her. Tonight: Invite a friend over for dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ If you feel the need to sleep in, by all means, do. Afterward, tackle anything you want.

Tonight: All smiles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Use the daylight hours to the max. Reach out to a loved one and plan a long-overdue visit.

Tonight: Roll with the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Stay on top of your work. Don’t cancel a get-together.

Tonight: Where the action is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Reach out to a partner

for the friends and family members of those who are affected by the drinking of another person. That is where she will find the help and support she needs.

My husband also drank every night (and sometimes all day, as well), until he died a few years ago, but I have made a good life for myself with the help of my wonderful Al-Anon friends.

— Helped by Al-Anon Dear Helped: Thank you for correcting that.

That was an error.

Al-Anon is a wonderful organization, and I recommend it for anyone who has a problem drinker in his or her life. Find meetings in your area at http:// www.al-anon.org.

who has strong opinions. You will hear a lot that you might not agree with, but know that listening carefully will open your mind. Tonight: Out late.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ You might want to get a better sense of where a loved one is coming from. Tonight: Catch a favorite TV show.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Others have been very controlling as of late, and although you might be somewhat annoyed, you’ll opt to let it go. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Get into the moment.

Spontaneity makes you smile more. Tonight: Accept an offer.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Use the daylight hours to the max. Someone you see on a regular basis clearly seems to be very opinionated. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ Stay close to home, and relax in the daytime. Try to slow down the hectic pace. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ You can’t help but express your feelings now, even if you have decided to say very little in the recent past. Tonight: Listen to someone else’s ideas.

Mason perfects his new weapon

Defensive intensity sparks Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A pretty game it was not, unless you were looking through the eyes of Kansas coach Bill Self.

“I think our activity level was much better. I do,” said Self following third-ranked KU’s 85-68 victory over Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse.

Four days after publicly calling this group the worst defensive team he has coached in 14 seasons at Kansas, Self watched the Jayhawks hold the Red Raiders to 41 percent shooting, swipe nine steals and out-rebound the best rebounding team in the Big 12 Conference, 38-29.

For Self, the effort, though appreciated, was more in line with what he expects from his teams

night in and night out.

For the players, many of whom have been around Self and the program for a number of years, the opportunity to please their coach with their play on his favorite end of the floor went down as a little redemption sprinkled with a dash of relief.

“Once you get called out like that, you gotta respond,” said junior guard Devonté Graham, who scored a season-high 20 points in the win. “You can’t just back down. It’s a sign of weakness if you don’t (respond). We’re competitors, and nobody likes being called out like that, so we’re just gonna continue to get better.”

He would. He did. He scored.

Chiefs’ Dorsey made few missteps in building team

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — A year ago, in the days after the Chiefs were eliminated from the postseason by the New England Patriots, general manager John Dorsey was faced with a series of decisions that would shape whether Kansas City would be a contender the following season.

He hardly made a misstep.

Dorsey shelled out big money to solidify

the most precarious positions, highlighted by the decision to franchise safety Eric Berry at a cost of more than $10 million. Then he went bargain hunting to fortify spots elsewhere, and wisely addressed the rest of his needs through the draft.

The result is not only a 12-4 record, the team’s first AFC West championship since 2010 and a first-round playoff bye, but the belief among many that Kansas City is a Super Bowl threat.

“

You’ve got to draft well and those guys have to play. We’ve done that. Dorsey has done that. We’ve had production from those guys.”

— Chiefs coach Andy Reid “In this day and age, you have to have an influx of young players. That’s just the way the (salary) cap works,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “You’ve got to draft well and those guys have to play.

We’ve done that. Dors-

ey has done that. We’ve had production from those guys. It’s a tribute to him.”

Reid likes to say the margin between winning and losing in the NFL is razor-thin, and that extends to the kind of decisions that Dorsey made

during the offseason: n With the future of Jamaal Charles in question after reconstructive knee surgery, the Chiefs needed to solidify the running back spot. But rather than give Matt Forte a $12 million, three-year deal like the Jets, or Chris Ivory a $32 million, five-year deal like the Saints, Dorsey wrote a pair of $3.6 million, two-year checks to keep Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West on the roster.

Forte gained 813 yards in 14 games. Ivory man-

aged 439 yards in 11 games. But Ware and West combined to go for 1,214 yards at a fraction of the cost, and the fact there is two of them helped with depth. n Pass rusher Justin Houston’s slow recovery from knee surgery knee injury meant the Chiefs needed to add linebackers. But instead of blowing the budget on free agents such as Bruce Irvin, Dorsey kept veterans Derrick Johnson and Tamba Hali with $21 million, three-year deals.

NFL PLAYOFFS

Seahawks, Texans advance The Associated Press

Seahawks 26, Lions 6 Seattle — The formula that has led the Seattle Seahawks to unmatched success over the past five seasons returned.

A healthy dose of Thomas Rawls rumbling on the ground.

A few timely throws by Russell Wilson helped by some remarkable catches. And a defense that never allowed Detroit a sniff of the end zone.

Rawls rushed for a franchise playoff-record 161 yards, Paul Richardson made one of the catches of the year for his first career postseason touchdown, and the Seahawks beat the Lions on Saturday night in an NFC wild-card game.

“It kept the chains going,” Rawls said. “We want to end like this. We want to end with a great mark running the football, which is our identity, playing tough hard-nosed Seahawks football, and that’s exactly what we did.”

Seattle won its 10th straight home playoff game, continuing Detroit’s miserable conclusion to the season that finished with four straight losses. Detroit’s long playoff history without postseason success continued: no playoff wins since 1992. No road playoff wins since 1957.

victory since the 2012 season.

Houston and its top-ranked defense, led by Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus, bounced back after an embarrassing 30-0 wild-card loss to Kansas City last season to advance to face either the Chiefs or New England in the divisional round next weekend.

“We’ve been doing it all season as a defense,” Clowney said. “We’ll just continue to

play as a unit.”

The Raiders’ first trip to the playoffs since the 2002 season, when they went to the Super Bowl, ended with a thud behind the struggles of third-string rookie Connor Cook. He threw for 161 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

“It was his first start, on the road, in a playoff game, against the No. 1-ranked defense. It was a tough draw for him,” coach Jack Del Rio said. “We had hopes that we would be able to do enough around him so he wouldn’t have to do as much.”

He became the first quarterback in NFL history to make his first start in a playoff game after MVP contender Derek Carr broke his leg two weeks ago, and Matt McGloin injured his shoulder on Sunday. His performance wasn’t helped by star left tackle Donald Penn missing the game with a knee injury, which ended a streak of 160 straight starts.

The Bears (15-0, 3-0 Big 12), one of two unbeaten teams in the nation along with No. 5 Gonzaga, are in position to reach the top of the poll after No. 1 Villanova’s 20-game winning streak ended Wednesday — the same night Baylor beat Iowa State on a late jumper from Lecomte.

Conference woes Under second-year coach Brandon Schneider, Kansas has failed to win a single regular season game in league play, starting off 0-21. In fact, Kansas’ only Big 12 victory came in the opening round of the conference tournament last year, in a 81-64 win over TCU. Schneider’s squad has certainly taken strides in his second season at the helm, already equaling last season’s win total of six games. But the league milestone has yet to be crossed off, something Schneider would like to do against the Cyclones, who are also winless in the conference this year.

Pressure defense Despite a sub .500 record, the Jayhawks typically have the advantage in terms of athleticism at the guard position. That particular strength allows KU to play pressure defense, which has often troubled opposing teams.

Last time out, Texas was forced into 31 turnovers, a season-high mark for Kansas, in the lopsided league loss. Afterward Longhorns coach Karen Aston called it unacceptable but credited the Jayhawks on the defensive end for causing that to happen.

They now average 16.7 points per game off their opponents’ turnovers.

Streaking Junior guard Jessica Washington has made the most of her first trip through the conference slate. In three league games, Washington has totaled 63 points on 65 shots from the floor. Against Texas, Washington led the team in scoring with 23 points, including 16 in the first half to put Kansas in position to nearly pull off the upset. She has scored in double figures in six consecutive games.

Slumping The team’s other transfer, sophomore McKenzie Calvert, has not had as smooth of an introduction to the Big 12. Calvert has netted just 21 points on 44 shots from the field through the first three league games. She was held to 6 points against the Longhorns, which was tied for her second lowest mark of the year.

KANSAS 85, TEXAS TECH 68

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF LAYS INTO THE JAYHAWKS DURING A TIMEOUT IN THE FIRST HALF. KU DEFEATED Texas Tech, 85-68, on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

high, so he did, putting just the right arc and touch on it that it came down through the net.

Mason’s shot went almost as high as his stock as a basketball player has soared this winter.

“Pro,” was the first word first-year Texas Tech coach Chris Beard used about Mason after watching him score 26 points to lead Kansas to an 85-68 victory against his Red Raiders in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday night. “Great college player. Has gotten better every year.”

So much better that Mason’s name surfaces in national player of the year conversations, which usually start with discussions about Villanova senior Josh Hart.

“He’s grown from being a guy who we thought could impact our program and be a good player for us in time to, in my opinion, a guy who has an unbelievable chance to be a first-team All-American, so that shows you the growth,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of his point guard.

“And I haven’t thought he’s played near as well of late as he was early, but I thought tonight was by far the best game he’s had in the past two or three weeks.”

Mason made 6-of-11 field goals, including 3-of-4 3-pointers and added five rebounds and four assists. He played

seeing his team show up on Saturday, was the point of Self’s post-Kansas State message. And where the Jayhawks (141 overall, 3-0 Big 12) take it from here figures to be of much more interest to both parties involved.

Asked if watching his players respond to his criticism in a positive way the very next time they hit the floor showed an element of toughness that he was not sure existed, Self pondered the question before offering, “Yeah, maybe. It might. Or it could be a situation (where) you can’t play any worse, defensively.

But I thought the guys played with a little bit more competitive spirit on that end.”

Backed by that defensive intensity, Kansas jumped out to a 17-7 lead early in the game thanks in large part to a Texas

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) SWOOPS AROUND Texas Tech forward Matthew Temple to pass during the first half.

36 minutes, reaching the 35-minute mark for the 12th time in 15 games this season.

He managed to strengthen his body and soften his shot during a very productive offseason and is shooting .523 from 3-point range.

Mason has found a way to shoot all of his shots with just the right touch. He finishes at the rim by throwing it higher off the glass than most and has a great feel for which shot to pull out at any given moment.

The floater just might

the prettiest shot in his arsenal.

“All summer, every day in practice, I always work on my floater and different runners, left hand, right hand,” Mason said. “I’m pretty comfortable with shooting it with my right hand or left

hand and I still have a lot to work on.”

He’s averaging 19.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists.

The effectiveness of the floater has made him realize it’s not always necessary to sting like a bee.

Tech scoring drought that spanned 4:15.

However, after trailing 24-13 midway through the first half, the Red Raiders began making shots — many of them right at the rim — and crawled out of the early hole before getting buried.

In the final minute of the half, Tech (12-3 overall, 1-2 Big 12) had a chance to trim KU’s lead to one or even tie the game, but a Josh Jackson steal and flush was followed by a timely steal

by Frank Mason that wound up leading to five Kansas points — and ultimately a 10-point halftime lead — just before the break.

The first three came on four free throw attempts after Mason was fouled on the drive. He got two extra cracks at the line following a technical foul whistled against Texas Tech big man Anthony Livingston, who exchanged words with KU forward Landen Lucas following the foul.

“That’s our point

guard and he got fouled pretty hard so I just went up, very nicely, and asked (Livingston) not to foul him that hard,” Lucas explained after the game. “He felt like I was attacking him or something and wanted to throw himself against the back of the hoop and then realized that that didn’t do anything so he came up, pushed me and then got the tech. I was really just making sure that he knew not to foul Frank that hard.... It reminded me of someone who used to play at Oklahoma State.”

Texas Tech coach Chris Beard, who lamented his team’s inability to take anything away from the Jayhawks’ offense, called the end of the half meltdown an unraveling and said that was a turning point in the game. Lucas agreed.

“It was (big),” Lucas said. “We always like to finish the half strong.”

The Red Raiders drained three straight shots to open the second half and quickly cut the Kansas lead to five

points. But once they started missing, they found out KU’s defense actually never went anywhere. And that defense was a big reason for a few of the Tech misses, never more obvious than Jackson’s onehanded block of a pointblank, dunk attempt by Red Raider Shadell Millinghaus, who cocked the ball back in his hand and prepared to hurt the rim only to have Jackson’s mitt change the flight pattern. That led directly to an alley-oop from Mason to Lagerald Vick (six points, two steals, 27 minutes) that pushed KU’s lead back to 10.

Texas Tech’s best shot at putting real pressure on Kansas came with just under 10 minutes to play, when Aaron Ross stepped to the free throw line, looking to pull the Red Raiders within four.

But Ross missed the front end of the oneand-one and on the very next possession, Josh Jackson drilled a threepointer to put the Jayhawks up nine.

Two possessions later, Jackson scored in close despite getting his first two shots in the lane blocked. That put Kansas up 60-52 and helped maintain the cushion that carried the Jayhawks to victory.

Kansas delivered the knockout blow with a 16-2 run late in the second half that included five consecutive made field goals and a pair of made free throws on both sides of that stretch, turning a 60-55 Kansas lead into a 76-57 lead with five minutes to play.

“A lot of teams come into this building and play with them for 32 minutes,” Beard said.

“But they run you off the floor for eight minutes and you get on the bus and get a sandwich.”

Said Self: “There’s no Earth-shattering deal on why we actually guarded a little bit better tonight. Guys were more into it, they played harder and they played with more energy. It’s not that complicated.”

“I think I would dump it off to a teammate or get all the way to the basket (as a younger player),” Mason said.

“Watching a lot of film over the years you have to change it up to not getting all the way to the basket and getting an offensive foul, and shoot a floater or a mid-range jumper.”

Self has always encouraged guards to shoot floaters. Mario Chalmers, for one, had a beauty.

“I think Frank’s really developed his floater over time,” Self said.

“Devonté (Graham) last year shot a ton of floaters and he hasn’t shot quite as many this year. I think that’s a good shot, and when you’re 5-foot-11 or 10 or whatever Frank is, you’ve got to find some ways to get the ball over the big guys. That’s a shot people just started shooting in the last 20 years. There weren’t a lot of people shooting floaters, but he’s gotten good at it, and he’s good at it with his left hand as well.”

It’s a treat to watch a terrific athlete steadily improve for three years and then explode in his fourth, willing his way onto the radar of NBA scouts, even if he doesn’t quite fit the prototype.

Mason is one 3-pointer away from passing on the all-time Kansas scoring list the greatest basketball prototype to ever grace the earth. Mason has 1,431 career points.

Wilt Chamberlain scored 1,433 in his two seasons at Kansas.

KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. (15) COMES IN FOR A DUNK during the second half of KU’s 85-68 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

KU to add Arizona State transfer

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Hours before the final horn sounded on its 85-68 victory over Texas Tech Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas men’s basketball program picked up a victory in the recruiting game, when Arizona State freshman Sam Cunliffe committed to KU to continue his college basketball career.

Originally the No. 36-ranked player in the Class of 2016, Cunliffe, from Rainier Beach High in Washington, chose Arizona State for the opportunity to play for ASU coach and former Duke star Bobby Hurley. However, despite starting 10 games this season and averaging just under 10 points per game, Cunliffe decided to look around for another place to play.

That’s when the 6-foot6, 195-pound shooting guard, who has AAU ties to current KU freshman Mitch Lightfoot got involved with Kansas and, after visiting Tuesday for the KU-K-State game, Cunliffe made a quick decision to join the Jayhawks.

“I prayed about it a lot.

I slept on it. But I also went out to Kansas and saw the way they played,” Cunliffe told Shay Wildeboor of JayhawkSlant. com. “The way they played was the biggest thing. They’ve got a lot of talented players out at Kansas. The way they move the ball and the way they are coached and the way the players act, both on and off the court, it’s just something that I wanted to be a part of.”

Although he will not be immediately eligible, Cunliffe will officially become a part of KU’s 2017 recruiting class, which already includes Top 10 forward Billy Preston and Top 30 combo guard Marcus Garrett, with the likelihood of more to come.

Despite sitting out initially, Cunliffe will be allowed to practice with the Jayhawks this winter, throughout the summer and during the first semester next season. Cunliffe told Wildeboor he planned to move to Lawrence late next week.

It’s clear that getting to campus as quickly as possible is a priority for

the shooting guard who seems more than a little eager to get started with his new coach and team.

“Coach Self was a big influence on my decision,” Cunliffe told Wildeboor. “He was straightforward with me and straight up. He will tell you everything that you need to know and he’s honest with you. That’s what I really like about Coach Self.”

Another milestone KU’s Saturday victory was win No. 2,200 alltime for the Jayhawks, making Kansas just the second program in college basketball history to reach the 2,200-win plateau.

“I’m getting older,” the 54-year-old Self joked after the win. “But I didn’t have much to do with the majority of those.

It’s nice.... I don’t know if that’s a significant milestone for this particular team because they didn’t have much to do with it, but for fans that have supported KU, it’s something you can be proud of.”

Asked about the enormous win total, KU guards Devonté Graham

and Frank Mason III said they were blown away.

“Yeah. It’s crazy,” Graham said. “They said we were only the second school, which is mindblowing just to know that because there’s a lot of good programs out there that win and win big. Just to be a part of something like this is special and it can’t be put into words.”

Added Mason: “It means a lot. It’s just amazing, one program to win 2,200 games. It says a lot about the program and the history here at Kansas. It’s just unbelievable and there’s more to come.”

Rush to be retired KU announced Saturday that former Kansas standout Brandon Rush would have his jersey retired at halftime of KU’s home game against TCU on Feb. 22.

Asked after the game what the Kansas City native thought about the honor, Self explained just how worthy the national champion was of seeing his name go up in the rafters.

“He was happy,” Self said. “He had got-

ten word. I let it slip to somebody that knew him pretty well that we were probably gonna do that and, unfortunately, that guy couldn’t (keep a secret) and he told him. So it wasn’t a shock to him.

But I’m real happy for him. He was really, really, really genuinely excited when we told him what we were gonna do.

“If you look at what he accomplished here — the consistency, the best defensive player on maybe as good a run as we’ve ever had here, leading scorer three years in a row, Wooden All-American two years in a row, first-team all-Big 12 three years in a row. I mean, you’re looking at a guy that certainly deserves to have it hung and he’s very proud about that.”

Murderers Row? While Texas Tech’s upset of No. 7 West Virginia on Tuesday night was nice, it did little to eliminate the sting of starting Big 12 Conference play with what easily could be one of the toughest three-game stretches to start the conference schedule in the history

of the league. At Iowa State, versus No. 7 West Virginia, at No. 3 Kansas.

The Red Raiders went 1-2 in that stretch and head coach Chris Beard was glad to be done with it after the game.

“Coach Self asked me after the game, ‘Who do you play next?’” Beard said. “And I said, ‘I think (the) Golden State Warriors.’”

This and that...

Kansas now leads the all-time series with Texas Tech, 32-4, including its current stretch of 15 in a row and a 17-0 all-time record at Allen Fieldhouse.... KU’s current 14game winning streak ties for the sixth longest in the Bill Self era.... Texas Tech became the first KU opponent this season to not shoot a free throw in the first half and did not attempt its first free throw in the game until the 11:56 mark of the second half....

KU finished 18-of-22 from the free throw line (.818 percent), good for its best performance of the season.... Junior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk fouled out for the first time in 76 career games.

Books on the library’s radar for 2017

A

new year means new books! Last year, we compiled a list of highlyanticipated titles in both fiction and nonfiction for adults. These were the hyped super-faves for the 2016 publishing world, and they were a lot of fun to write about.

This year, however, we’ve decided to switch gears and focus on some upcoming titles that may be lesserknown, or by debut authors.

Put these books on your radar, and check back in with us as you read!

“Universal Harvester” by Jon Darnielle Available Feb. 7 You may know Jon Darnielle better for his indie rock contributions as the center of The Mountain Goats, but nevertheless, he’s made a name for himself writing novels that are eerie, thoughtful and hard to put down.

This year, his release follows a video rental clerk in a small Iowa town during the late 1990s. Tapes are being returned mysteriously with disturbing recordings added, but Darnielle is not just going for shock and disgust; “Universal Harvester” unfolds as a mind-bending meditation on loss and regret.

titles will finally be available in English with the release of “Ghachar Ghochar.” This tightly crafted novella follows a family in contemporary India that gets rich quick with the opening of a spice factory; however, the rapid transformation of their world breeds deep conflicts.

The title, meaning “something tangled beyond repair,” makes it clear just how dark and poignant Shanbhag’s work can be.

“Winter Tide” by Ruthanna Emrys Available April 4 “Winter Tide” is a Cold War novel unlike any other.

Equal parts H.P. Lovecraft and Tom Clancy, the story centers on Aphra, one of two surviving descendants of a sect of Cthulhu-worshippers that was forcibly relocated and then wiped out by the U.S. government. The FBI fears communist spies may have tapped into the power of cosmic horrors, and Aphra is their only hope of keeping this eldritch arms race from destroying the world.

“Everybody’s Son” by Thrity Umrigar Available June 6

In the latest work from seasoned novelist Thrity Umrigar, principles clash against one another as if in gladiatorial combat: morality and law “Ghachar Ghochar” by contradict one another, while Vivek Shanbhag ideas of family — biological Available Feb. 7 versus adoptive — vie for Vivek Shanbhag has earned meaning. great acclaim for his literary Protagonist Anton is the works in India, and one of his nexus of these struggles.

When he was 10 years old, his mother was jailed for drug use and neglect. A powerful white judge bends the rules to adopt Anton to ease the loss of his own son.

Years later, Anton has become privileged and powerful himself, but he must confront the hard truths of his families, old and new.

“Exit West” by Mohsin Hamid Available March 7 When Zadie Smith was here last month, I asked her what titles she’d recommend the library purchase in the coming year. “Exit West” was at the top of her list.

Hailed as “the first PostBrexit novel” by LitHub, it is, at its core, a love story: “Set in a world being irrevocably transformed by migration, the tale follows a young couple in an unnamed country as their city collapses around them and they are forced to join a wave of migrants fleeing for their lives.”

You only have to wait two more months for this one, so get on the holds list!

“Kindred: The Graphic Novel Adaptation” by Octavia Butler Available Jan. 10 “Kindred” is an adaptation of the groundbreaking science fiction novel from 1979 with the same title. The story incorporates both time travel and historical fiction, and an admirable black female protagonist who is charged with, of all things, keeping a white boy alive to

save future generations of her family.

Note: There are some gruesome details in the novel, and seeing them in graphic format may be difficult for some audiences.

“Sing, Unburied, Sing” by Jesmyn Ward Available Sept. 5 Jesmyn Ward knows the South and writes it straight from the heart. This Southern road narrative focuses on an American family as they deal with drugs, loss, and imprisonment, all with an unwavering sense of hope.

Ward is one of my favorite authors, and I nerdily follow her on Instagram.

She posted a teaser photo of the cover of “Sing, Unburied, Sing” last fall, and I’ve been excited about it ever since.

“No One is Coming to Save Us” by Stephanie Powell Watts Available April 4 When describing her novel, Powell Watts asks us to “[i] magine The Great Gatsby set in rural North Carolina, nine decades later, with desperate black people.”

An intriguing idea — I look forward to this debut novel by the Ernest J. Gaines Award-winning short story author.

— Kate Gramlich and Eli Hoelscher are reader’s services assistants at Lawrence Public Library.
