Ex-Kroger CEO will head chancellor search committee

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Emporia — David Dillon, retired chairman and CEO of The Kroger Co. and a University of Kansas alumnus, will head the search committee

for a new KU chancellor.

The Kansas Board of Regents voted on Wednesday to appoint Dillon as chairman of the committee charged with finding a replacement for KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle, who has announced she

will step down at the conclusion of this school year.

The Board also formally announced that the search process would be closed, meaning names of applicants and finalists will not be publicly shared. Regents also

voted to hire the firm of R. William Funk and Associates as search consultant.

Board chairwoman Zoe Newton said Wednesday’s actions kick off the KU chancellor search process. Newton said the search committee —

City: Oread group led ‘fraudulent scheme’

composed of representatives from various KU constituencies — will be assembled in coming weeks, and the Board will vote to approve its membership as soon as next month.

AT A GLANCE Here’s a quick look at how the controversy around The Oread’s tax incentives has developed.

THE DISTRICTS The city has established two special taxing districts for the Oread hotel at 1200 Oread. First, a Tax Increment Financing District allows the city to rebate a large percentage of all new local property and sales taxes generated at the hotel back to the Oread’s development group. Second, under a Transportation Development District, the city rebates the proceeds from a special 1 percent sales tax charged at the hotel back to the developers.

Attorneys for the city say such — Bradley Russell, purchases are just one category of attorney repreillegitimate trans- senting the city actions billed to a special tax district set up as part of the incentive agreement.

“The obvious ones are the ones associated with private residences that are outside the (taxing) district: a cabin in Colorado, a carwash in Johnson County, Kansas,” said Bradley Russell, the attorney representing the city in the lawsuit. “Those are not the transactions that were envisioned in the agreement.”

“

THE DEAL The city and the Oread development group have agreed to an incentives deal that could mean — but does not guarantee — that the development group receives tax rebates totaling up to $11 million plus interest expenses. The actual amount is dependent on the amount of sales that occurs at the hotel building.

THE ALLEGATIONS The city alleges that certain members of the development group — Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel is at the center of the allegations — created a company called Oread Wholesale L.C., whose primary purpose is to make bogus retail sales transactions to boost the amount of sales taxes generated at the Oread property, and thus boost the amount of rebates the group receives.

Oread CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The city is taking legal action against the Lawrence businessman leading the development, Thomas Fritzel, and three of his affiliated companies, based on findings of a report commissioned by the city to study transactions billed to the district. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Douglas County District Court, alleges that the developer conspired in a “fraudulent scheme” to gain inflated tax rebates from the city.

The report was completed by the accounting firm Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, and released by the city as the basis for the lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks to terminate the incentive agreement for The Oread, as well as recoup more than $400,000 in monetary damages. Russell emphasized that the main point of the lawsuit is to terminate the incentive agreement, which could generate up to $11 million for the development group.

“If there were improper requests for reimbursements, the city is entitled to recover those back,” Russell said. “Because of finding out about these actions, the city had to pay money to attorneys and CPAs. They want to be made whole for that. But the main point of this lawsuit is to rescind the agreements because the developer did not follow the intentions of the parties.”

Russell said the second category of illegitimate purchases allegedly billed to the taxing district — the less obvious ones — involved reimbursements between different Oread entities that falsely represented the

Newton said the Board’s goal is to release a job posting no later than February 2017.

The ultimate goal is for the Board to hire and announce a new chancellor

by June 2017 who can start work on or around July 1, 2017, the Board’s request for proposals from search firms indicated.

Newton and Regent Shane Bangerter specifically thanked Board of Regents vice-chair Dave Murfin, who was absent from Wednesday’s meeting, for his role in helping identify and present Dillon as the KU chancellor search committee chairman. Murfin, a fellow KU alumnus, is a Wichita businessman who also serves with Dillon on the KU Endowment Board

KU’s policy defines those as areas accessible only to authorized personnel by key, key-card or code.

Non-employees who don’t have the key or code would have to be prescreened to enter restricted access areas, according to KU’s draft policy. The process would require a notarized statement with the person’s acknowledgement that weapons are prohibited in restricted access areas, as well as a photo ID card showing they’ve been authorized entry.

Jim Pottorff, an attorney for KU, declined to name many specific examples, citing campus security concerns.

However, he said areas beyond the lobby of oncampus child care centers are likely to be one such place. Parents would be prescreened and told that guns aren’t allowed in the child care areas.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Timeline of the Oread hotel controversy November 2015 The Journal-World gets an anonymous tip that the city has hired an auditor to look at the special taxing districts associated with the Oread hotel project.

An open records request confirms an auditor had been hired, but city officials are mum about the details.

December 2015 The city seeks more than $500,000 from the Oread development group after the audit finds possible violations of state sales tax law.

Dec. 31, 2015 The Oread development group pays

nearly $500,000 to the city “under protest.”

February 2016 The development says it is willing to compromise with city officials in an attempt to end the tax dispute. But the development group also says it owes a fraction of the amount the city is seeking.

March 2016 The development group says it will “fully comply” with a list of City Hall demands to settle the approximately $500,000 tax dispute.

April 2016 With a new city

manager at the helm, Lawrence City Hall commissions another audit of the special taxing district, examining documents that the development group turned over in an effort to settle the dispute.

Nov. 16 The city releases the findings of the latest audit, and files a lawsuit alleging a “fraudulent scheme” on the part of the Oread developers.

The city seeks to dissolve the approximately $11 million incentive agreement for the project.

— Chad Lawhorn

payments as retail sales within the district. Russell said that also goes against the intentions of the agreement to cover “arm’s length” retail sales related to business at the hotel.

“A retail transaction involves an ordinary person booking a room at the hotel, coming and then paying for the room,” Russell said. “That’s an arm’s length retail sales transaction.”

The incentive agreement between the city and the developer was intended to at least partially pay the developer back for the infrastructure and parking garage improvements made to the area as part of the hotel’s construction in 2008.

The agreement created a special taxing district at 1200 Oread Ave. that requires the city to rebate the development group a large percentage of local sales tax collected in the district.

“The point is to focus

the development rightly within the district itself so that it benefits the folks who are essentially paying for all this, and that’s the residents of the city of Lawrence,” Russell said.

From 2009 through 2015, the city reimbursed more than $1 million to The Oread Inn as part of the incentive agreement. The lawsuit claims that more than $400,000 of those reimbursements were fraudulently obtained by the development group.

The lawsuit contains the most specific allegations yet against the development group. The lawsuit alleges the development group deliberately defrauded the city and engaged in “a pattern of racketeering activity involving wire and mail fraud.” In addition to termination of the incentive agreement and monetary damages, the lawsuit asks the court to consider ordering Thomas Fritzel and other developers of The Oread

to “cease and desist all association” with the hotel development.

From 2009 through 2015, the lawsuit alleges that Oread Wholesale fraudulently used the tax district for more than 30 companies, individuals or other entities and projects. Those include the Varsity House project, the Eldridge Hotel and Hutton Farms West, among others.

The accounting report also indicates that developers improperly reported millions of dollars of transactions within the special taxing district.

Entries on the list include multiple purchases of furniture, “river rock” for a cabin in Colorado, rentals for a home pool project, as well as construction materials or services for projects throughout the city and state.

At the center of the claim of false retail sales is Oread Wholesale, a company listed as a tenant of The Oread hotel.

of Trustees.

“This is a huge job and a very important job, and finding and selecting and appointing a chair is a very important step that we need to take in this process,” Bangerter said. “I think Regent Murfin has located not just an adequate person but a stellar person that bleeds crimson and blue and is respected across the state and the nation.”

Dillon was student body president at KU, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in business in 1973, according to information from the KU Alumni Association. He earned a law degree from Southern Methodist University.

The Alumni Association awarded Dillon its Fred Ellsworth Medallion, the association’s highest honor for alumni, in 2004.

Dillon currently serves on the executive committee of the KU Endowment Board of Trustees, which

lists his home address as Kansas City, Mo. He also serves as vice-chairman of the KU Hospital Authority Board, a position he’s held since September 2015.

Kroger, based in Cincinnati, employs more than 400,000 associates serving customers in more than 3,500 supermarkets and other stores, according to Dillon’s biography. The company also operates 37 U.S. food processing plants.

Dillon had various leadership roles with Kroger before being being named CEO in 2003 and elected chairman of the board of directors in 2004. He retired as CEO at the end of 2013 and as chairman of the board at the end of 2014.

In addition to his roles with KU Endowment and the KU Hospital board, Dillon has served on several business and charity boards in this area and in Cincinnati.

Another business CEO and KU alumnus headed KU’s last chancellor search committee, which led to the hiring of GrayLittle in 2009.

That search committee chairman was Drue Jennings, former chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Power and Light Company. Jennings served in varying roles with the KU Endowment, Medical Center, Edwards Campus and Athletics Department — including that of interim athletic director in 2003 when he guided searches that ultimately brought Athletic Director Lew Perkins and Men’s Basketball Coach Bill Self to KU. Dillon, the search committee and R. William Funk and Associates will pursue their charge with little public oversight.

The Board of Regents also chose a closed process for KU’s last chancellor search and this year’s

Another example might be the brain imaging center at the KU Medical Center, he said. No metal objects of any kind are allowed around the multi-million dollar magnetic imaging equipment used there.

Again, Pottorff said, details have yet to be determined but a possible solution there would be providing gun storage lockers for patients who come in to use that equipment.

Overall, Pottorff said, the committee that worked on KU’s policy tried to be consistent with state law but add some provisions that “generally reflect our interest in the safety of our community.” l It would allow the carry of stun guns on campus, though no one but law enforcement could carry the name-brand and more powerful Tasers.

“There is a sense that a number of our community members — faculty, staff and students — would prefer to have the opportunity to carry a stun gun rather than a

handgun,” Pottorff said. l It also requires concealed guns to be on the person of the carrier at all times, specifically stating that any backpack or purse containing a concealed gun must be “physically on or in the hands of the person carrying it.”

KU’s proposed policy also would require guns to be holstered at all times, semiautomatic guns to be carried without a chambered round of ammunition, and revolvers to be carried with the hammer resting on an empty cylinder. It reminds that all federal and state laws regarding concealed carry — carriers must be at least 21 years old and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, among other rules — still apply on the KU campus.

Restricted access areas became a key topic of discussion at Wednesday’s Regents governance committee meeting.

The current Board of Regents weapons policy does not address restricted access areas, because lawmakers introduced that

language, and the Kansas Attorney General issued an opinion on its application, after the board created its policy, Regents attorney Julene Miller said.

The governance committee agreed to have Miller draft a policy amendment that would require campuses to provide the Board of Regents with lists of restricted access areas in their annual campus security reports. She said because they deal with campus security, those reports are not open to the public.

Regents said developing new weapons policies has not been easy.

“This is an item that across the campuses brought a bad taste to a lot of people,” Regent Shane Bangerter said.

“It’s taken tons of work, lots of discussion, and you all have come up with very professional, very clear documents.”

Regent Bill Feuerborn added, “It’s work that nobody thought would be going on two years ago.

Bottom line is, it’s state law; we have to do it.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld The report and lawsuit claim that Oread Wholesale was a farce, created explicitly to create a false paper trail for purchases fraudulently given the sales tax rebate.

The report found that Oread Wholesale was used in combination with another Fritzel company, DFC, to funnel sales of construction materials for unrelated projects and other personal expenses through the special taxing districts, thus crediting undue rebates on those sales. The report found that a large number of invoices between the two companies function more as reimbursement requests, and were not legally retail sales under state law.

“You can’t have one entity performing a project well outside the district and then seeking reimbursement from a company within the district, because that’s not really a retail sale,” Russell said.

“It’s just a way to show on paper, allegedly, that the transaction may have occurred with an entity in the district.”

The development group has previously denied such allegations, but an attorney did not immediately provide a comment relating to the lawsuit Wednesday. In February, the developer commissioned its own analysis that maintained The Oread Inn owes a fraction of what the city says.

Some of the allegations violate state law and therefore could potentially result in criminal charges, but Russell said the city has no comment on whether or not there are any other investigations ongoing.

Kansas State University president search, which culminated in the hiring of interim K-State president and retired Gen. Richard Myers on Monday.

Regent Dennis Mullin was chairman of the KState presidential search committee.

In announcing Myers’ hiring on Monday and again during Wednesday’s Board of Regents meeting, Mullin praised the closed process.

“I believe strongly that the pool of candidates we had … was extremely strong because of the closed search,” Mullin said.

R. William Funk and Associates is the same firm that was hired for KU’s last chancellor search, which led to Gray-Little’s hiring in 2009, and the recent KU provost search, which led to former School of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi’s hiring as provost this year.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins leaving House leadership team Says she may consider running for governor in 2018

By John Hanna Associated Press

T opeka — U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins will be leaving the House Republicans’ leadership team when the new Congress convenes in January and said Wednesday that she’s willing to consider a run for Kansas governor in 2018.

Jenkins said she did not seek a third, two-year term as vice

chairwoman of the GOP conference this week so that she could focus on tax and Jenkins health care legislation. She’s a member of the Ways and Means Committee, which is expected to consider both subjects.

Jenkins, who has represented the 2nd District of eastern Kansas since 2009, said she’s looking forward to her first opportunity to work with Republican congressional majorities and a GOP president following Donald Trump’s election.

But fellow Kansas Repub-

licans have repeatedly mentioned Jenkins as a potential candidate to replace term-limited GOP Gov. Sam Brownback in two years.

“Kansas is where my heart is, so whenever there’s an opportunity to serve back home, I’m always going to look at it, so that’s what I’m going to do,”

KANSAS BOARD OF REGENTS

Emporia — Housing and dining rates at state universities are poised to go up across the board for the next school year.

The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday received proposed housing and dining plan rates for 2017-18 from the six state universities, with the biggest proposed cost hike coming from the University of Kansas.

It was a first reading.

The Board is expected to approve the proposals in December.

The cost for a “typical” room and board situation at KU — a double room in a renovated residence hall, with a 14-meal dining plan — will go up to $10,060 for academic year

2017-2018 rate proposals l WSU — $11,150 (2.4 percent increase) l FHSU — $7,853 percent increase over (2.4 percent increase) current year) l KU — $10,060 (4.9 l PSU — $7,700 (1.7 percent increase) percent increase) l KSU — $8,730 (2.5 — Source: Kansas Board percent increase) of Regents l ESU — $8,026 (3.3

2017-18, according to proposals submitted to the Regents. That’s up $474, or 4.9 percent, from this year’s rate of $9,586. The 2015-16 rate was $9,324.

Elaine Frisbie, Regents vice president of finance and administration, said changes to dining plans at several schools — including KU — made comparison to previous years less

direct.

Also, each school has a variety of housing options beyond the “typical,” she said.

“It’s very unique to each campus and each building and each type of housing unit,” she said.

University housing programs are auxiliary enterprises, meaning fees charged must cover their

operating expenses.

Proposed increases generally were driven by anticipated inflationary costs and facility maintenance and enhancements, Frisbie said. Each university indicated to the Regents that proposed increases were reviewed by appropriate campus groups, including student representation.

The College Board’s “Trends in College Pricing” report indicates the average room and board charge for fouryear, public institutions in the Midwest is $9,550 this year, an increase of 4 percent over last year, according to the Regents.

Patrons and neighbors of Lawrence Memorial Hospital may have noticed some construction activity — and a few missing parking spaces — near the facility’s front entrance in recent days.

All that extra noise will soon be over, assures LMH spokeswoman Janice Early, who told the JournalWorld on Wednesday that crews have been working to repair the foundation of the sidewalk near the hospital entrance since last week.

And while adjacent handicapped parking spaces have been moved to a more central location as a result of the construction, they’ll be back soon — and with five additional spaces in tow.

“That’s an ongoing problem we have,” Early, the hospital’s vice president of marketing and communications, said of LMH’s limited parking space.

It’s a problem that she said has been amplified in recent years by continuing growth at the hospital, 325 Maine St.

This camera, though, looked different, and the reader suspected it was a license plate scanner, which is a device

that captures the license plate information of every vehicle that passes by and stores the data for use by law enforcement. The readers, for instance, can send police an almost instantaneous alert when a vehicle with a flagged license plate passes by a camera.

I checked with the Lawrence Police Department, and indeed the camera is a license plate reader. While the

Jenkins was a certified public accountant who served four years in the Legislature and six years as state treasurer before she was elected to Congress. She ran two statewide campaigns for trea-

surer, and state Sen. Jake LaTurner, a Pittsburg Republican who formerly worked on Jenkins’ staff, said she could unify the state GOP as a “conservative that gets things done.

“If Lynn decides that she wants to go that direction, sign me up,” LaTurner said.

Bob Beatty, a Washburn University political science professor, said that Jenkins could be a strong candidate. But she also could be vulnerable to a challenge from an outsider or anti-establishment figure because of her time in Washington, he said.

“In a post-Trump world, Jenkins would be the traditional Kansas Republican gubernatorial candidate,” Beatty said. “We now have to be much more cognizant of the outsider possibility.”

Currently, 76 percent of the hospital’s revenue is generated by outpatient services, meaning the majority of LMH clients are traveling in and out of the hospital’s parking lots on a more frequent basis

than those receiving inpatient care, who by definition stay at the hospital longer and ostensibly use parking lots less.

All of this, Early said, “brings more traffic and parking and people,” including the addition of more hospital staff, who also need to park their cars somewhere near the hospital’s “landlocked” residential location.

To that end, LMH has hired a parking consultant. And the plan, so far, entails approximately 55 extra parking spaces to be added early next year.

The five (mostly handicapped) spaces near the hospital’s front entrance will be installed by Sunday, she said, with the next phase of construction set to begin early next year, most likely in

the spring. The 55 new parking spaces, which will cost LMH an estimated $175,000, are included in the hospital’s overall $14 million 2017 capital budget.

The budget, approved by the LMH board of trustees on Wednesday, also calls for $140,000 to be set aside for parking lot resurfacing in the two lots between the

hospital and Arkansas Street. Other improvements include the addition of two surgical suites ($2 million), a $600,000 expansion of LMH’s Tonganoxie clinic and $400,000 in renovations to the hospital’s 3 North facility.

Civil Liberties Union, the license plate reader technology has created privacy concerns related to police departments having so much access to the travel patterns of innocent individuals.

Sgt. Amy Rhoads, a public affairs officer for the Lawrence Police Department, said the department is mindful of the balancing act between privacy and using the technology to solve crimes. She said the technology primarily is used in conjunction with felony investigations, but also could be utilized for purposes of identifying stolen vehicles, stolen license plates, missing persons, and suspect identification.

“We have used ALPR technology as a tool to apprehend serious criminals who have committed

major crime in our city,” Rhoads said. “The ALPR technology is restricted to legitimate law enforcement usage and can help increase the reach of major investigations, helping to enhance public safety.”

One thing you may be wondering about in terms of usage is whether the cameras could be used to capture the license plates of motorists who run a red light.

Some states have technology where you get a ticket in the mail for running a red light or some other type of offense.

License plate readers are used as part of those type of systems, but such tickets aren’t issued in Lawrence or elsewhere in Kansas. My understanding is that Kansas doesn’t have a state law that allows for such red

light cameras.

As we have reported, though, license plate readers are used in Lawrence to issue other types of tickets. Last year the University of Kansas began using license plate reader technology to issue parking tickets on campus.

As we have reported, the city of Lawrence is set to hire a firm to begin studying the parking system in downtown Lawrence and around the university. It will be interesting to see if license plate reader technology is part of the solution. I know I’ve been in cities where instead of paying a meter in front of my car, I’ve paid at a digital kiosk which required me to enter my license plate.

I assume license plate readers are then used to quickly check for any

vehicles in a parking lot that haven’t paid.

Such use probably will require some discussions about how governments store and use the data. A recent article in The Atlantic magazine, though, raised the question of whether the real issue may be how private companies are using the license plate readers. The article noted one private company has a database of more than 4.2 billion sightings, and it is growing at a rate of 120 million data points a month. The private company, Vigilant, sells its database to law enforcement or private companies that may have a use for the data.

County OKs juvenile justice measures In a meeting that lasted less than five minutes, the Douglas County Commission approved Wednesday with no discussion two consent agenda items associated with juvenile justice reforms the Kansas Legislature enacted this spring.

The first item was a memorandum of understanding between the county and the Kansas Department of Corrections, which allows the county to create alternate placements for certain moderate-tohigh risk juvenile offenders and for those being released from state correctional facilities.

The second measure provides $250,000 in state grant funding for the first six months of 2017. Douglas County District Court is to use the funds to implement new juvenile justice practices.

The County Commission will next meet at 4 p.m.

Agenda needed To enhance dialogue at meetings, Lawrence’s school board should make its agendas available to the public.

K

udos to the Lawrence School Board for taking steps to open board meetings to more public engagement.

But if the board really wants to enhance public dialogue at meetings, it will start making complete board agendas, including board reports, available to the public well in advance of board meetings.

At Monday’s meeting, board President Marcel Harmon introduced changes to the public comment process. Those changes included opening the floor to public comments after the customary reports from Harmon and Superintendent Kyle Hayden, instead of before. The board also extended the time limit for comments from three to five minutes.

“I think the primary reason was to give a little bit more of a chance for there to be some degree of back-and-forth between the school board and the community when they’re making their comments,” Harmon said.

Critics have charged that the school board’s meeting structure is disconnected from the students and families it serves.

Harmon acknowledged that the structure of meetings in the past has been designed to allow the board to move through the agenda quickly and efficiently, with as little interruption as possible from the public.

Harmon and other board members expressed some concerns that expanding public comments at meetings could open the board to discussions that should be had at the teacher or campus level, but such comments should be easy enough to monitor and redirect.

Besides, the public comment portion of School Board meetings would likely be more substantive and on topic if the school district did a better job of communicating with the public in advance of its meetings. After all, this is the same board that, in September, made free condoms available to students in the district’s two high schools with little to no advance notice or discussion.

The School Board meets the bare minimum when it comes to announcing its meetings. It provides an agenda, but the board does not provide detailed reports and background information on items to be discussed. This isn’t a novel idea — the city of Lawrence and Douglas County have always provided such information.

It’s hard to see the downside of giving parents, students and taxpayers as much information as possible about school district business. Doing so sure seems a smart way to focus public discussion at board meetings.

Opening board meetings to greater public comment is an encouraging step for the board to take. But if the board really wants to engage the public in a meaningful way, it will opt for transparency and make detailed agenda information available in the days leading up to its meetings.

From the Kansas Daily Tribune for Nov. 17, 1866: “There was a ‘big old time’ at the State Fair grounds yesterday. years The race that was to be – wasn’t. ago It partly came off, and partly IN 1866 didn’t. We wouldn’t like to give an opinion…. We are told that divers and sundry and various and several efforts were made to start the horses, when finally ‘Red Bird’ started, but the Carpenter mare didn’t. Red Bird went round the course alone, and the judges decided that he won. Some gave up their money, and some didn’t. Some drew their bets, and some didn’t.”

“We are now manufacturing and keep constantly for sale at the Glove Depot, Eldridge Block, Lawrence, the best quality of Buckskin Gloves and Mittens. They are home manufactured and warranted the best quality, and I will sell at the lowest possible rates. Highest market prices paid for buckskins and furs.”

Congress’ chance to take its power back Washington — Seventeen days before President Donald Trump, his spoken oath of office still lingering in the wintry air, lifts his left hand from Scripture (a leatherbound edition of “The Art of the Deal”), the Republicancontrolled Congress will begin working. Fittingly, on Jan. 3 the First Branch of government will go first, flexing its somewhat atrophied Article I muscles.

When Trump reaches his desk on the morning of Jan. 21, he should find there two congressional measures emblematic of how quickly elections can have consequences. One should be the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act (REINS). The other should be legislation mandating construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

As president, Trump will have the authority and intent to proceed with construction of the pipeline, but Congress should make the point that this concerns national policy, which Congress should set.

The REINS Act would begin Congress’s retrieval from the executive branch of responsibilities the Founders vested in the legislative branch. The act would sharply slow the growth of regulations that are suffocating economic growth. REINS would require Congress to vote on — to have its fingerprints on — all “major” regulations, understood as those with an annual economic impact of at least $100 million. Congress would thus take responsibility for, and be held accountable for,

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

The REINS Act would begin Congress’s retrieval from the executive branch of responsibilities the Founders vested in the legislative branch.” the substance that executive agencies’ rule making pours into the almost-empty vessels that Congress imprecisely calls “laws.”

After the preamble, the Constitution’s first substantive word is “all”: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress.” But the more than 170,000 pages of the Code of Federal Regulations contain tens of thousands of rules promulgated by largely unaccountable agencies. The agencies fill voids in congressional “laws” such as the DoddFrank financial reform, which mandates, but does not define — that is left to executive rule makers — “fair, transparent and competitive” financial products and services. As of five years ago — it is substantially worse now — the government itself estimated that regulations cost the economy more than $1.75

trillion, almost twice the sum of income tax receipts then.

Opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline has illustrated environmentalism’s, and the Democratic Party’s, descent into the theater of pointless gestures. The nation is crisscrossed with more than 2 million miles of natural gas pipelines and 175,000 miles of pipelines carrying hazardous liquids.

Yet our theatrically thoughtful current president wasted seven years pretending to ponder the weighty question of whether Keystone’s 1,179 miles — bringing oil from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska — might somehow menace the nation and planet.

Some of the oil would be from Canada’s tar sands.

Keystone opponents say such oil is especially “dirty,” so the pipeline, by enabling the oil to get to market, would injure the climate. But even if the opponents’ allegations about the tar sands oil can be trusted, the allegations are irrelevant: The opponents evidently believe that if the pipeline is not built, Canada will simply say “Oh, dang!” and leave the world’s third-largest proven crude oil reserve — larger than Iran’s — locked up in the tar sands. The opponents evidently think that if they block the pipeline, this vast wealth will not find another way into the international oil market.

Furthermore, without Keystone XL, more oil will be transported by trains, which have notable carbon

footprints and sometimes spectacular spills. Hence legislation mandating the pipeline’s construction will not only create jobs, which once upon a time was a Democratic priority, it should soothe climate anxieties.

So, Congress should call this Keystone XL legislation the “Zach, We Feel Your Pain Act.” After the election, someone reportedly named Zach, a Democratic National Committee staffer, suffered a hilarious eruption of hysteria.

In the process of blaming DNC interim Chair Donna Brazile for the lost election (wrong woman, Zach), he said, according to The Huffington Post: “You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change.

You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy.”

Well. Suppose Zach is 30 and expects that, although he appears to be unhealthily excitable, his life expectancy is 90. If climate change subtracts 40 of Zach’s years, it is going to kill him within 20 years. Perhaps Zach can take grim pleasure from the fact that Brazile, a vigorous and cheerful 56, probably will still be spry when the Grim Climate Reaper swings his deadly scythe.

Be that as it may, consider that Zach’s scary arithmetic probably represents commonplace thinking within the Democratic Party, aka “the party of science.”

Progressive America must resist Trump It is time for the country to heal, time for us to come together.

Or so people have been telling me since last week when democracy laid the biggest egg in American history.

Well, here is my response: I have no interest in seeing this country heal. And I refuse to come together.

Understand: If this were just about politics, I’d never say something like that. No, I’d do what you’re supposed to when the candidate you favored is defeated. Suck it up.

But my anger is not about any given policy of the new president. No, it is about him, about the election of a fundamentally unsound, unserious and unfit man, a misogynist who brags about sexual assault, a bigot cheered to victory by the Ku Klux Klan. I have no idea how to “heal” woman hating and no desire to “come together” with the Klan.

I am similarly impatient with those who say we must give the new president a chance to lead and hope for his success.

Is that what Republicans did for Barack Obama when they gathered on the night of his inauguration and plotted a conspiracy of obstructionism to cripple his presiden-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

I have no idea how to ‘heal’ woman hating and no desire to ‘come together’ with the Klan.” cy? Is it what Donald Trump did when he spent years questioning the veracity of an ordinary birth certificate?

More to the point, the call to let Trump lead and hope for his success fails to address obvious questions: Where is he leading us? How are we defining success? Should we applaud even if he “leads” us into another unnecessary Middle East conflagration? Are we expected to be happy if his “success” comes in criminalizing abortion?

Frankly, I won’t cheer him even if he is not a disaster. In

the unlikely event the man who considers global warming a Chinese hoax took action to stem that threat, I’d be happy, yes. On the improbable chance the man who swore to repeal the Affordable Care Act crafted something better, I would be glad, sure.

But at the end of the day, the man who did those things would still be a misogynist and a bigot.

Forgive me — or don’t; I really don’t care — if that remains a deal breaker for me.

I refuse to participate in this process of organized amnesia, to cooperate in normalizing a man who stands for everything America should not.

So what now? Well, now those of us who feel the same way must make it a priority to get off our assets and vote in 2018. And in the meantime, resist.

Sunday evening on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver offered a list of organizations that defend the causes and peoples that will be most threatened in the coming Reich and suggested you volunteer them your time and money. I think that’s a great idea, so I pass his list on to you: Planned Parenthood (plannedparenthood.org);

The Center For Reproductive Rights (reproductiverights.org); the Natural Resources Defense Council (nrdc.org); the International Refugee Assistance Project (refugeerights.org), the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (naacpldf.org); the Trevor Project for LGBTQ youth (thetrevorproject.org) and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (maldef.org). I’d also add The Southern Poverty Law Center (splcenter.org) and the American Civil Liberties Union (aclu.org).

It’s time the majority that believes in a progressive, inclusive and compassionate America did more than just tweet about it. Nothing wrong with tweeting, but forces of exclusion, hatred and rage have overtaken the highest office in the land, so it’s also time for some old school activism. Time to march. Time to assail lawmakers. Time to boycott.

Time to stand and be counted. Enough is enough.

Let’s take our country back.

A ‘long way to go’ to reverse ‘Roe’

Trump is against abortion, but even as president, he’s limited Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President-elect Donald Trump opposes abortion, but even he admits that overturning the Supreme Court’s 43-year-old decision in Roe v. Wade “has a long, long way to go.”

After Trump nominates a justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia, the court will remain one or two votes short of a majority to send abortion decisions back to the states, experts on both sides of the issue agree.

There are several reasons: The high court does not like to overrule its own precedents, particularly those that have stood for decades and affected millions of people. When it does, it tends to do so incrementally, which could mean allowing states to impose more restrictions on abortion without eliminating the federal right entirely.

Then there is the issue of who sits on the court and how strongly they feel about abortion. Though Justice Clarence Thomas and whoever Trump selects might be ready to jettison Roe, neither Chief Justice John Roberts nor Justice Samuel Ali-

to is committed to doing so.

Roberts, in particular, is an incrementalist who has the court’s reputation as an institution to consider. For that reason, Trump might need to replace two more justices to make a difference.

“There’s a long road ahead and many obstacles,” says Clarke Forsythe, acting president and senior counsel at Americans United for Life. Even if the court eventually reverses itself, he says, “the issue would go back to the states, most of whom have repealed their preRoe prohibitions.”

Scathing comments from both sides and widescale misinformation left her “angry and frustrated.” She plans to take a month off from the social network.

Twitter’s alt-right purge raises free expression issues Some nationalists thrilled to be targeted Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

Twitter’s move to ban alt-right accounts on the heels of a bitterly divisive election has drawn the company into a heated debate over who gets to speak freely on its platform.

Critics warn the mass ban could backfire. Rather than silencing the alt-right’s message, Twitter risks amplifying the message from a fringe white nationalSAN FRANCISCO

ist movement.

When reached by phone, white nationalist Matthew Heimbach was practically ebullient about Twitter’s purge of alt-right accounts. In 2015, Heimbach founded the Traditionalist Worker Party, a political party of white separatists who want different homelands inside the USA for whites and blacks. Heimbach’s account was not suspended, but he says he was warned Wednesday by Twitter that some of his tweets violated the company’s terms of service and was told to delete them.

“The more the system tries to make the ideas of nationalism taboo, the more people are going to

JEFF CHIU, AP

be interested and seek them out,” he said. “It’s helping us propagate our message every time they try very clumsily to shut us down.”

For years, Twitter billed itself as the “free speech wing of the free speech party.” But Tuesday, Twitter banned the accounts of prominent members of the altright, putting the service in the dicey position of deciding what is acceptable speech.

Twitter’s head of safety, Del Harvey, told USA TODAY this week that Twitter is drawing a hard line between free speech and “behavior that is intended to silence others.” The first target: the alt-right movement, a loosely

organized group that includes individuals who dream of a white “ethno-state.”

White nationalists leveled allegations of one-sided censorship against Twitter on Wednesday.

The lack of transparency into why Twitter suspended the accounts in question, such as that of alt-right leader Richard Spencer, fueled perception in some quarters that Twitter is arbitrarily stifling speech.

Spencer, who coined the term alt-right in 2010, says he was tossed from Twitter for his political views — he wants to segregate the USA by racial groups — not for harassing Twitter users.

Team won’t rush ‘methodical’ process, spokesman says David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Donald Trump and aides say the presidential transition team is on track and plans to make major announcements soon.

Trump and Vice Presidentelect Mike Pence, the transition chairman, are taking a “structured” and “methodical” approach to putting together a presidential administration, spokesman Jason Miller said, and “we’re not going to rush” the process.

“We’re going to make sure that they’re people that we are confident will pass confirmation and they’re going to be people that we think can implement the president-elect’s vision,” Miller said.

“Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions,” Trump said on social media. “I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!”

On a day of meetings at Trump Tower, Trump heard from one of his critics: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said he had a “candid” meeting with the president-elect about his concerns.

They included proposed tax cuts that would benefit the wealthy, stepped-up deportation

Trump says only he knows the finalists for his administration. plans, support for “stop-andfrisk” police policies and a possible registry of Muslim migrants, said de Blasio, who pledged to be “open-minded” but “vigilant” about the Trump presidency.

Top aides have drifted in and out of Trump Tower in the week since Trump’s election, many of them potential appointees.

Among them: Ex-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is up for secretary of State; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a possible attorney general or Defense secretary; retired general Michael Flynn, being discussed for the Pentagon as well as national security adviser; and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a former Republican primary rival of Trump’s who is being talked about for attorney general.

Cruz declined to address spec-

ulation about his future, saying, “I look forward to working very closely with the president-elect, the vice president-elect to repeal Obamacare and to confirm a strong conservative Supreme Court justice to protect the rights of all Americans.”

As part of a tweet storm Wednesday, Trump cited some of the nations whose foreign leaders have spoken with him since the election. His list: Russia, the United Kingdom, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The transition team put out a list of 29 world leaders who have spoken with Trump or Pence since last week’s election.

Pence spent part of Wednesday in Washington at a lunch with Vice President Biden and their wives.

North and South Dakota have abortion bans ready to implement if the Supreme Court acts.

Her group says 21 states are likely to ban abortion almost immediately, and 20 others — including California, Florida and New York — are likely to preserve abortion rights. Nine others would be “battlegrounds.”

“We would be faced with a pretty challenging landscape,” Northup says. “People would have to cross many state lines … to be able to get access to safe and legal abortion.”

The Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision in Roe balanced a woman’s right to have an abortion against the desire of some states to protect the unborn by allowing increased levels of regulation during the last trimester of pregnancy. Two decades later in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the court upheld that basic right but allowed more limits based on the viability of the fetus.

Justice Samuel Alito’s replacement of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor led the court in 2007 to uphold a federal law banning late-term, or “partial birth,” abortions. After Scalia’s death this year, the court voted 5-3 against a Texas law that imposed strict requirements on abortion clinics and doctors who perform abortions.

Those five justices — Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — remain on the court. To move toward a reversal of Roe would require one or more of them to leave while Trump is president.

If the court remains closely

divided but with five justices opposed to abortion, most analysts predict it will move slowly — perhaps by upholding state restrictions greater than those allowed under Casey — before deciding whether to overturn its 1973 decision. “You could shut down most abortion clinics without overturning Roe,” says Neal Devins, a law professor at William & Mary Law School who has written on the subject.

The Texas law struck down in June would have forced all but nine clinics statewide to shut their doors.

The high court does not like to overrule its own precedents, particularly those that have stood for decades and affected millions of people.

James Bopp, general counsel for the National Right to Life Committee since 1978, says the past four decades have seen several occasions where it seemed federal abortion rights were at risk, only to be salvaged. The most important thing about Trump’s election, he says, is that Hillary Clinton would have nominated a sixth Supreme Court justice who favors abortion rights.

“That bullet was avoided,” Bopp says, but Scalia’s replacement won’t lead to a reversal of Roe v. Wade. “It’s more than one ( justice) away,” he said. “There’s no question about that.”

Any hiatus by a cluster of politics-weary U.S. Facebook users isn’t likely to do much to dent Facebook’s massive and rapidly growing user base. Of the 1.79 billion users, 88% come from outside the USA. A year ago, Facebook had 1.55 billion members and 1.35 billion two years ago.

Presidentelect Donald Trump credited his use of Facebook and Twitter with helping him win races in which his Democratic rival heavily outspent him. A day before the election, President Obama blamed social media for deepening political divisions.

The abrupt decision to turn off the social media spigot of news — 62% of U.S. adults get their news from it, the Pew Research Center says — as well as other media that covered the polarizing election resembles reactions people have after a car crash or assault.

“It’s almost like a trauma response,” says Suzanne Wallach, a psychotherapist in Los Angeles.

“This election has prompted a level of denial in people. They feel traumatized and ostracized.”

Facebook says 115.3 million members worldwide generated 716.3 million likes, posts, comments and shares just from Election Day, Nov. 8.

The election, the No. 1 topic of conversation on the social network last year, undoubtedly will be again this year, according to Facebook.

The campaign was in Facebook News Feeds every minute of every day for months, the frequently toxic tone a reminder that Trump and Hillary Clinton were among the least-popular candidates ever.

“Whether Facebook wants to accept it or not, it became as influential as a TV network or national newspaper,” says Drew Margolin, a communication professor at Cornell University. “It can’t hide from the influence it has.”

Facebook says it does not keep data on unfriending and unfollowing, and it is unaware of any significant migration of members up to and during the presidential election. According to Pew Research, more than half of Facebook users, 53%, say there is a

“I am signing off Facebook for a little while. ... I need to reclaim all the time I have been spending on social media, so I can think of what I want to actually DO about my feelings for my country and the people I want to see served #nomorehate.”

mix of political views among the people in their networks.

But any diversity may have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of like-minded posts.

Clinton supporters, who expected a victory, were especially jolted. They say they were misled in their view of the election from the protective cocoon of their like-minded friends and cultural reinforcement.

“I’m realizing now that I was in a bubble — it was an utter shock to realize that so many people don’t share the ideals that were so prevalent in my Facebook feed and my real life social circle, of course,” says Colleen Wickwire, 38, a marketing consultant in San Francisco. “It felt like my entire worldview collapsed, and Facebook really contributed to that.”

After five years of continuous use, Judi Rosenthal, 44, a financial services consultant in New York, is taking an extended break.

Monday, Rosenthal posted: “I am signing off Facebook for a little while because I really need to focus on my kids and my work.

I need to reclaim all the time I have been spending on social media, so I can think of what I want to actually DO about my feelings for my country and the people I want to see served #nomorehate.”

A proliferation of fake news contributed to polarized views of the world. In the weeks leading up to the election, Facebook was a breeding ground for stories that were quickly fact-checked as wrong — but not before they were shared thousands of times.

Among the most prominent: Pope Francis’ endorsement of Trump.

Facebook and Google vowed to pull ads from fake news sites appearing on their platforms. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has acknowledged such news may have influenced Trump’s win, though Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg dismissed the notion as “crazy.”

Quitting Facebook is old hat for Dessa Brennan, who’s ditched it several times the past few years.

“There is nothing wrong with finding a cohort of like-minded people and connecting and sharing with them, as Facebook enables,” she says. “However, when it comes to social and political issues, there is something very scary about only getting feedback from and exposure to people just like you.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Not only are long-term interest rates rising since Donald Trump’s surprise election win, so are odds of a Federal Reserve hike of short-term rates at the central bank’s final meeting of the year.

So-called Trump-onomics is a big reason why borrowing costs are on the rise. Trump’s plans for jump-starting economic growth by boosting fiscal stimulus, including tax cuts for individuals and businesses, as well as increasing spending on infrastructure to repair the nation’s roads and bridges, is seen as causing a rise in inflation and resulting in even higher budget deficits for the U.S. As a result, this government stimulus coming down the pike makes bonds a less attractive in-

Kellogg’s rolls dice with Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

Some cereal lovers thought the idea of adding cinnamon to Frosted Flakes was grrreeeat. So Kellogg’s got the message and is now rolling out its newest flavor.

Kellogg’s Cinnamon Frosted Flakes will make its debut this month and become widely available at the start of next year.

The iconic cereal has offered variations before, including Cocoa Frosted Flakes and a version

featuring marshmallows. But this newest cereal marks the first time in the brand’s 64-year history that the flakes have included cinnamon — an addition that came in direct response to demand on social media.

“We started to really notice it over the last couple of years,’’ says Brad Schwan, Kellogg’s senior director, morning foods marketing.

“We’d see fans on Twitter talking about how cinnamon would be so terrific on Frosted Flakes, and we really started to listen.’’

Cinnamon was the top-requested addition, company offi-

Cinnamon Frosted Flakes will be widely available in months.

cials say, and the effort to get the application and flavor exactly right took roughly a year and a

sifting through more than 100 variations.

The company, and consumers acting as taste testers, considered questions like whether vanilla or caramelized sugar added the right burst of sweetness. They even looked at whether dusting the cinnamon on top of the flake was sufficient.

It wasn’t. Tasters said “it washed off in the milk, and they didn’t get the strong cinnamon flavor they were looking for,’’ says Joanna Grennes, senior director, Kellogg’s Morning Foods R&D. The final decision? Putting the

cinnamon in the actual coating on the flake.

In recent years, more attention has been paid to cereals that feature alternate grains and less sugar as consumers become more health conscious. Frosted Flakes, however, remains the No. 1 kid’s brand in the ready-to-eat cereal category. Similar to the original Frosted Flakes, the new cinnamon version will have 10 grams of sugar in a 29-gram serving. Kellogg’s has decreased sugar in its top-selling cereals by roughly 20% in the past few years, or by 2 to 3 grams per serving.

Some Eudora water meters can’t read

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Eudora city officials got a surprise when it was discovered at the start of the month that some of the city’s new smart water meters couldn’t actually read customers’ water usage.

It was reported at Monday’s Eudora City Commission meeting that batteries, which have a 10-year guarantee, were dead in 153 of the 2,200 new wireless water meters installed in the last few months. As a result, meter readers found readings of no water consumption.

The smart meters are supposed to be in the off mode until a meter reader shines a light inside their pits to get a monthly reading, said Mike Hutto, Eudora public works director. Once the new water metering system is fully operational, the meters will be set to turn on once a month to send customer-use data via a radio signal to the city, he said.

Representatives with the meters’ manufacturer, Sensus, believe the meters were shipped in test mode, which had them on constantly, Hutto said. But

“

It is our full intention that the city will get what it paid for. We are doing everything we can to not inconvenience the city, address the issue and move on.”

— Justin Pape, construction manager for 360 Energy Engineers he said that diagnosis wasn’t certain and the problem could be from an unknown defect. It is also not known how many more batteries may fail, he said.

The meter failures were not the fault of 360 Energy Engineers, the Lawrence firm contracted to install the smart meters, or the subcontractor who did the actual installation, Hutto said.

Hutto, Eudora City Manager Barack Matite and City Clerk Pam Schmeck said 360 Energy has been responsive to the issue. The company has assumed the labor cost of replacing the bad meters, and has agreed to compensate the city for the revenue the city lost from the bad meter readings.

Schmeck said those city water customers with defective meters that didn’t show water use from Oct. 1 through Nov. 1 would be billed

the city’s base rate but not any additional fee charged for additional use per 1,000 gallons.

She said 360 Energy would compensate the city for that lost revenue, which based on 2015 billing would be about $3,000.

In addition, 360 Energy — which currently is working with the city of Lawrence on energy efficiency measures — was replacing the defective water meters at its expense, Hutto said.

Justin Pape, construction manager with 360 Energy, said the defective meters were sent to the manufacturer to confirm they were wrongly set to test mode. Although that has not yet been confirmed, Sensus representatives reported there was little chance many more of the smart meters would fail, he said.

“They said if they were going to fail, they should have failed by

now,” he said.

Meanwhile, 360 Energy would continue to work with the city to remedy the problem, Pape said.

“It is our full intention that the city will get what it paid for,” he said. “We are doing everything we can to not inconvenience the city, address the issue and move on.”

The smart water meters are the key component of the city of Eudora’s $2.51 million energy efficiency upgrades undertaken this year. The city’s electric utility will also switch to smart meters. Hutto said those meters, which city public works employees will install, have been delivered.

The smart meters are expected to pay off by giving more accurate consumption readings so that the city can account for the 8 to 10 percent of water use it couldn’t trace with the old meters. It is expected the added revenue collected from the better readings would pay off the bonds used to finance their purchase.

Police: Man fled stop, crashed his vehicle at Midland Junction

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Topeka man faces criminal charges after police say he ran from a traffic stop late Saturday night and crashed his car at Midland Junction shortly thereafter.

Breylan Gary Baker, 19, was arrested Sunday morning at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, according to Douglas County Jail booking logs. He faces charges of possession of stolen property, attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, aggravated endangering a child, reckless driving and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A Lawrence Police Department incident number listed with Baker’s arrest matches the attempt to elude call listed in the department’s activity logs.

Around 11:37 p.m. on Saturday, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said an officer tried to pull over a Mercedes Benz — driven by Baker — in the 1000 block of North Third Street. The stop was due to the car’s illegal tag, she said.

Baker fled from the stop — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him and the officer gave chase, on Twitter: @ElvynJ Rhoads said.

According to the activity logs, a total of 13 officers responded to the call.

After a short distance, however, officers stopped following Baker because the chase’s speeds climbed too high, Rhoads said.

Soon after police stopped chasing Baker, the car reportedly crashed near the intersection of East 1400 and North 1941 roads, otherwise known as Midland Junction, Rhoads said.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said the car was found in a field near the intersection and the four occupants were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Topeka’s Stormont Vail Hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries.

The car was not being chased by police at the time of the crash, Dymacek said.

After the crash, both drugs and a firearm were found inside the Mercedes, Rhoads said.

Baker is currently held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $15,000 bond.

He was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to schedule a date for his preliminary hearing.

DEATHS FRANCIS GREGORY MATHIAS Francis Gregory Mathias of Lawrence, KS, was born in Benton Harbor, Michigan, December 26, 1941, and passed away November 13, 2016. Greg was frail and ready to leave this earth…probably out of spite, because his family wouldn't let him walk across Scotland while

battling Alzheimer's. He had a good life, full of adventure and laughter.

He was 74. For Greg’s full obituary go to warrenmcelwain.com.

BRIEFLY DUI patrols planned Topeka students for Thanksgiving hold diversity march With the exception of New Year’s Eve, police say Thanksgiving has the highest number of car crashes involving an impaired driver.

This year, additional officers will be assigned to look for drunk and impaired drivers over the Thanksgiving period, the Lawrence Police Department said in a release.

The extra patrol hours will be paid for by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the release said. Additional officers will be assigned to look for signs of impairment in drivers between Monday and Nov. 27.

The police department does not disclose the location of the patrols.

Officers will also be ticketing vehicle occupants who are not wearing seat belts or whose children are not properly restrained.

Topeka (ap) — A few hundred Topeka students marched to the Statehouse to show they’re diverse and united.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that 400 to 500 Topeka High School students participated in the march Wednesday.

Angelo Campos, an 18-year-old senior, says since the presidential election last week, there’ve been reports of minorities being discriminated against, and he wanted to show he takes pride in the school’s diverse groups.

Principal Rebecca Morrisey says the march occurred during a morning period when the school’s estimated 1,800 students are in homeroom and that students were allowed to participate if they chose to.

Morrisey says the school’s been working to “make sure we honor both sides of the political spectrum and that we don’t allow negative hate speech from either side of the political spectrum.”

she sees serious stuff every day and she just wants to laugh. She has a point, but I’d still like to watch my own stuff.

I have been giving her her way lately, but I am starting to feel resentful. — Missing the Drama Dear Missing: Sorry, but there’s not much drama in my response, as this has an easy solution. Just compromise. Alternate nights.

2 midseason finales before holiday A full week before Thanksgiving, the Thursday night schedule has been completely reshuffled. Two ABC dramas are going into winter hibernation.

The prospect of prison offers Alex a moment of clarity on the midseason finale of “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC). And revelations about the house fire offer more than smoke on the mids e a s o n finale of “How to Get Away With Murder” (9 p.m., ABC).

CBS has concluded its run of “Thursday Night Football.” Now it’s NBC’s turn. For whatever reason, next week’s Thanksgiving night game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts is not listed on the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” schedule. But rest assured, it’s a game airing on NBC on a Thursday night.

These NFL-network agreements have a logic all their own.

A recent column about declining prime-time NFL ratings received any number of thoughtful replies, suggestions and conversations. People seem to think there is simply too much football on TV, too much officiating within games and too many prime-time games that feature subpar teams. People have cited the distraction of a major election and the proliferation of streaming. And speaking of streaming, tonight’s game is available via Twitter.

Curiously, against all of this football, Fox continues to air its flawed but entertaining melodrama about baseball. Tonight on “Pitch” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14), tedium leads to tension during a prolonged rain delay. Baseball has been described as “an island of activity amidst a sea of statistics.” Too often “Pitch” offers islands of plot movement amidst oceans of flashbacks.

Tonight’s other highlights O Praise for a rival irks Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

O A murdered food truck vendor had links to Slade on “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O Jack’s clutter proves revealing on “The Great Indoors” (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

O Jake works tirelessly to clear the daughter of a former news anchor on “Notorious” (8 p.m., ABC).

O The multipart mystery “Undercover” (7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., BBC America, TV14) airs three consecutive episodes.

O A helicopter ride and a magazine plug on “Project Runway” (8 p.m., Lifetime, TVPG).

O “True Life” (8 p.m., MTV, TV-14) profiles people transitioning from one gender to another. Followed by “Transformation” (9 p.m., MTV, TV-PG), a look at homeless transgender youth in Los Angeles.

You could also invest in a second TV or, better yet, head to the library. There you’ll find plenty of great stories (such as the novels on which “Game of Thrones” is based).

Dear Annie: I met “Meghan” at our children’s school five years ago, and we’ve been close friends ever since.

When we met, she had just finished treatment for stage 1 breast cancer, and since then, she has been cancer-free.

The other day, she told me she was unable to work with me on our kids’ school project because she had a doctor’s appointment. She said it was just a routine thing but was very vague about it, and I could tell she didn’t want to talk about it.

I began to worry that something was wrong,

For Thursday, Nov. 17: This year you follow your sixth sense, and you come out A-OK. If you are single, be skeptical of anyone you meet between now and next fall. If you are attached, the two of you love to do a vanishing act together.

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 could be overwhelmed by all of the sensitivity expressed by those around you.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ Walk away from a control game; you could win, but the damage would be too great.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Pressure builds from various people with whom you have a connection. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You respond emotionally to others, while also expressing a unique idealistic quality of your personality. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

Health is an incredibly personal thing. Part of being a good friend means allowing her the time and space she needs to process things, trusting that she will come to you when she’s ready. In the meantime, be understanding, empathetic and the world’s best listener.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ Take care of your concerns; stay mellow and pace yourself. You might have a lot of ground to cover. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Your imagination and creativity flourish. You intuitively know which way to land on heavy issues. Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

When we get home, we eat dinner together and then sit in front of the TV for a little down time. The problem is that what she wants to watch to unwind is very different from what I want to watch to unwind.

She loves short funny shows, such as “Two and a Half Men” and “How I Met Your Mother.” I, on the other hand, love dramas. My favorites are “Homeland” and “Game of Thrones.”

Every night, I sit on the couch looking forward to one of my favorite shows, and she insists that we watch one of hers. She says that my shows are too serious and that being a police officer,

KU struggles to shoot in 75-63 loss to SMU

By Evan Riggs

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Josh Jackson conquered stage fright

S

even minutes into a game on the biggest stage he ever had experienced against the best team he ever had faced, Josh Jackson had done a lot of things, not many of them good.

He had taken three shots and missed two, one an illadvised three-pointer from the right wing when a drive was the right play.

Jackson missed his first two free throws and when he went to the line to attempt two more, it must have been the look on his face that triggered the sound of the unmistakeable voice of the late, great member of The Band, Rick Danko, banging loudly in my head, easily drowning out all the other voices, if only temporarily: “See the man with the stage fright, just standing up there to give it all his might. He got caught in the spotlight.”

And the spotlight was winning. Jackson again missed both freebies.

False alarm. The nerves quickly faded, never to return, and Rivals’ No. 1-ranked high school player from the Class of 2016 introduced himself to the nation late Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Maybe the wise decision he made with the ball in his hands in the left corner freed his mind and let his instincts soar to the surface.

He looked as if he contemplated putting up a threepointer with his unorthodox form. Instead, he drove the baseline and no defender had a shot at stopping him. He kept going past the hoop and dropped in a reverse layup, which started a string of six consecutive made buckets, a streak he takes into Friday night’s game in Allen Fieldhouse versus Siena.

The refs tagged Jackson with a couple of questionable whistles on his way to a 15-point night in 18 minutes before fouling out, but it wasn’t the referee’s fault he slapped the ball out of a Duke player’s hands several seconds after a stop in play.

That technical foul cost him some floor time and might have cost his team the victory if not for Frank Mason’s latest late-game heroics.

“Without being negative at all, he can’t let his emotions get the best of him, and he’s a pretty emotional guy, and he’s got to be able to contain that a little bit better,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Jackson. “If he hadn’t gotten that technical, he wouldn’t have been in foul trouble for something silly, knocking the ball out of the guy’s hand for no reason. But he’s a heck of a talent. He got in a little rhythm and certainly put us on his back for a period of time.”

That stretch came at the start of the second half.

Jackson scored 11 secondhalf points in just eight minutes, time enough to show that Kansas has three perimeter players capable of putting defenses in serious retreat mode. Lagerald Vick is on his way to becoming a fourth.

Jackson’s long limbs enable him to cover big chunks of the floor in a hurry and he’s super fast with the ball, handles it well, knows how to get to the hoop and will draw

eriggs@ljworld.com

With one minute left in the first quarter, Kansas coach Brandon Schneider called “fist” as his team brought the ball up the court. SMU coach Travis Mays then called the play out to his team, directed his defenders to exactly where the play was supposed to go, and it resulted in Kansas junior McKenzie Calvert getting her shot blocked.

However, sophomore

guard Jessica Washington insisted that SMU’s scouting report defense wasn’t a big factor in Kansas’ 75-63 loss in mostly empty Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday night.

“It doesn’t really make anything much harder,” Washington said. “We just stick to what we do, run our offense, and trust that whatever coach calls is going to work. We know that they are going to scout us and we are scouting them too. It’s just part of the game.”

Mays said that he knew

that the strength of the Jayhawks is guard play, and he said he made it a point to keep KU’s guards from get hot shooting three-pointers or driving the ball.

Kansas had its shot blocked 10 times and even though Calvert (17 points) and Washington(13) led the team in scoring, they were a combined 9-of-31 from the field. As a result, the Jayhawks are 0-2 for the Carter Gaskins/Journal-World Photo first time since the 20032004 season.

Mason, Graham bring ‘assassin mentality’ to team

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

New York — In January of 1997, Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan made a now-famous decision to send soon-to-be-named Super Bowl XXXII MVP Terrell Davis into the game against the Green Bay Packers for a key series despite the fact that migraine headaches had left Davis tempo-

rarily unable to see.

Shanahan didn’t care. He needed his star running back as a decoy near the goal line because, as Shanahan told Davis before sending him back in blind, the Packers never would have believed Denver was going to run the ball with Davis on the sideline.

So back he went, out to the huddle and into to his spot behind John Elway. On that

snap, the Broncos scored on a play-action bootleg run by Elway and went on to upset the Packers to win their first Lombardi Trophy.

A similar scenario unfolded Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where No. 7 Kansas knocked off top-ranked Duke, 77-75, in the Champions Classic. Even if the stakes weren’t as high and the situation not as scary,

the excitement and hype brought on by basketball in the Big Apple sure made it feel that way.

With Devonte’ Graham once again starting to feel the effects of leg cramps late in a tight game, the junior guard looked over to KU coach Bill Self and asked to come out.

But with a limited bench and foul trouble up and down the

Updated goal: WR Steven Sims Jr. trying to reach 1,000 yards

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo

KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER STEVEN SIMS JR. (11) shrugs off Oklahoma State safety Jerel > JACKSON, 4C Morrow (5) during the third quarter on Saturday, Oct. 22, at Memorial Stadium.

Ten games into his second year with Kansas football, Steven Sims Jr. examined the preseason goals he set for himself, compared them to his current statistics and reached a realization: He needs more goals.

The sophomore receiver from Houston already checked 60 receptions, 700 yards and seven touchdowns off his to-do list, after a nine-catch effort and a touchdown this past weekend in KU’s loss to Iowa State.

With two games left on the schedule, Sims has accumulated 739 receiving yards, 60 receptions and seven TDs. So now the speedy pass-catcher is thinking bigger.

“My new goal is 1,000 yards,” Sims said. “Just gonna continue to try and make higher goals and reach those goals and keep doing what I do.”

Entering the Jayhawks’ home finale — Saturday versus Texas (2:30 p.m. kickoff, ABC) — Sims is averaging 73.9 yards per game.

Some quick math contends regular-sized efforts against the Longhorns and Kansas State over the next two weeks would leave Sims more than 100 yards shy of his objective.

Three times this year Sims has eclipsed 100 yards: 124 against Rhode Island, 114 against Ohio and 124 at West Virginia. He’ll have to out-do himself in order to

Slow start for Wolves has tempered their optimism

By Jon Krawczynski AP Basketball Writer

Minneapolis (ap) — With a roster full of some of the best young talent in the league and a new, playoff-tested coach to lead them, the Minnesota Timberwolves entered this season as a trendy pick to finally end a 12-year postseason drought.

Ten games into this stillyoung season, Tom Thibodeau finally erupted after watching his team give away yet another double-digit lead in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets that dropped them to 3-7.

It’s not that the Timberwolves are losing games this season that has angered him.

It’s how they are losing them, with the same mistakes occurring over and over again, particularly during the third quarter of nearly every game.

“A big part of learning is trial and error. So when you go through something and it doesn’t work, you should learn from it,” Thibodeau said after a 115-108 loss to the Hornets on Tuesday. “The second time around, it shouldn’t be the same way. That has to change and it has to change fast.”

The Timberwolves have been one of the best offensive teams in the league this season, with Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns and Zach LaVine all showing skills that have fans cautiously hopeful that the franchise is finally ready to return to relevancy.

But they have been a disaster on defense and atrocious after halftime. They have been outscored by 72 points in their 10 third quarters this season, by far the worst margin in the league.

Only one game this season have

New York (ap) — Max Scherzer celebrated aboard a boat off the British Virgin Islands, doused by college pals on a floating party.

Rick Porcello enjoyed the moment at his parents’ home in New Jersey, surrounded by family, friends and a few bottles of wine.

As for Justin Verlander, well, fuming supermodel Kate Upton brought the heat for her fiance.

Rotation mates for five seasons in Detroit, the three righthanders topped the Cy Young Award talk Wednesday: Scherzer easily won the NL prize, Porcello edged out Verlander for the AL honor.

“That’s just the weird thing about these,” said Scherzer, who ruled the majors with 284 strikeouts and topped the NL with 20 wins for Washington.

“It’s the voting.”

Porcello led baseball with 22 wins for Boston, and had a 3.15 ERA. Porcello won despite getting just eight of the 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America — this was the first

ered by the brouhaha, Porcello simply said, “No, I honestly don’t care.”

“I’m not the one who made the decision,” he said on a conference call.

Porcello got a $100,000 bonus for winning the Cy. Verlander, who won the 2011 award, would’ve gotten $500,000 for this win.

Porcello bounced back from going 9-15 in his first season with the Red Sox, finishing 22-4 for the AL East champs.

He shared this last win of 2016 with those who “never wavered” in their support, admitting, “It was hard not to start balling and crying.”

Cleveland’s Corey Kluber was third and got three firstplace votes. Baltimore reliever Zach Britton, who went 47 for 47 on save chances with a 0.54 ERA, had five first-place votes and was fourth.

Scherzer breezed, drawing 25 first-place votes to beat out Chicago Cubs teammates Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks.

Scherzer became the sixth pitcher to earn the Cy Young in both leagues. After earning the AL honor in 2013 with the Tigers, Scherzer joined Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Gaylord Perry

and Roy Halladay as winners in both leagues.

This award, Scherzer said, meant even more than the first one.

“It just verifies everything I try to achieve,” he said.

Scherzer posted a recordtying 20-strikeout performance for the NL East champion Nationals, a year after he threw two no-hitters in his first season with Washington.

“I want to find a way to be better,” he said.

Scherzer is the first pitcher from a Washington franchise to win a Cy Young. The award was first presented in 1956.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw got three first-place votes and finished fifth. Jose Fernandez, the Miami star killed in a boating accident in September, was seventh.

The final major postseason awards will be presented Thursday when the MVP honors are announced.

Cubs slugger Kris Bryant, Washington’s Daniel Murphy and newly presented Rookie of the Year Corey Seager of the Dodgers are up for the NL award. Mike Trout of the Angels, Mookie Betts of the Red Sox and Jose Altuve of the Astros are the AL contestants.

Verlander went 16-9 with a 2.40 ERA while leading the AL in strikeouts and other categories. He got 14 firstplace votes, but didn’t draw as much support across the board — he was left off two ballots, too.

Overall, Porcello won 137132 in the second-closest vote since 1970 (Verlander lost by four points to David Price in 2012).

Voters list their five picks in order. A Scherzer first-place vote is worth seven points, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth.

Verlander needed to pick up five more points to match Porcello Porcello.

Upton fired off three tweets, one of them rather saucy, telling Porcello “you didn’t win.”

Kansas avoids W. Virginia’s upset bid SCOREBOARD J-W Staff Report

The Kansas volleyball team survived a Wednesday night road match with its one-game lead in the Big 12 standings intact, but it was far from easy and required five sets.

Kansas defeated West Virginia 25-18, 18-25, 2518, 20-25, 15-8 and played most of the match without All-American right-

side hitter Kelsie Payne.

Madison Rigdon compensated for Payne’s absence by leading the Jayhawks with 15 kills, adding nine digs and six blocks and freshman Jada Burse kicked in with 11 kills and four blocks.

Payne left the match during the second set after spraining her ankle.

Kansas will have a better idea today about Payne’s status for Saturday’s

home finale vs. Iowa State at 11 a.m., according to KU associate athletic director/public affairs Jim Marchiony.

Senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie (seven kills, seven block-assists) and libero Cassie Wait (21 digs, two service aces), along with Maggie Anderson, will be honored before Saturday’s match. Junior Ainise Havili (38 assists

and 17 digs for her 12th double-double), an AllAmerican setter, played National Association a big role for Kansas (24- Basketball Eastern Conference 2, 13-1), which staved off Atlantic Division W L Pct GB the upset bid from West 7 4 .636 — Virginia (12-16, 3-11 in Toronto Boston 6 5 .545 1 New York 5 6 .455 2 the Big 12).

“For us to have success,” Schneider said, “we’re going to have to distribute shots more evenly and get three or four people in double figures and get off to better starts.”

The Jayhawks fell behind 15-0 and didn’t score until Chaya Cheadle made a layup almost five minutes into the first quarter.

Kansas made it more competitive for the remainder of the first half and trailed 41-29 heading into the third quarter. But the Mustangs opened the second half in much the same manner they opened the game, by dominating the hosts. SMU opened the third quarter with a 15-2 run before KU’s 10-point run trimmed the visitors’ lead to 56-41. Kansas (29.4-percent shooting on the night) went cold again and SMU scored the final nine points of the third quarter to take a 65-41 lead.

“I thought in this game,” Schneider said,

“our offense and shots not going down affected our defense.”

Even with the big lead, Mays said he knew that the Jayhawks weren’t going to fold. Kansas trailed 73-50 with 5:36 remaining, and Schneider inserted five bench players and decided to use a full court press. The reserves responded with an impressive run, their defensive pressure resulting in opportunities at the other end. KU finished the game on a 13-2 run by forcing turnovers and hitting open three-point shots.

Even though the fullcourt pressure worked so well and athleticism is the team’s greatest strength, Schneider said he’s a little hesitant to employ that strategy for an entire game “With the way the rules are now, you’re always a little nervous to play that way with touch fouls 90 feet from the basket,” Schneider said. “But I’ve always liked to play that way, and I do think we have the personnel to do it more.”

Kansas (0-2) will look to bounce back at Memphis at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

reminds him of Ryan Swope, a receiver he had at Texas A & M. “You know, he’s not the biggest guy,” Beaty said of Sims, listed at 5-foot-10 and 176 pounds, “but, man, accelerationwise, he’s got some juice to him now. He is a quick, quick dude.”

Swope finished his senior season under Beaty’s tutelage with 72 catches, 913 yards and eight touchdowns. A 6-foot target for Johnny Manziel who played a key role in the Aggies’ road upset of Alabama in 2012, Swope posted the fourth-best 40-yard dash at the 2013 NFL Draft Combine and was taken in the sixth round before retiring due to a history of concussions. Beaty called him as

“good of an accelerator as anybody” he ever has coached.

“Ryan finished runs a little bit more than Steven did, but I also had him when he was a senior. So I don’t think he was always that way. But (Sims) does remind me a little bit of Swope. Swope was a little bigger than he was.

But I like the guy’s development,” Beaty said of Sims, who had 30 catches for 349 yards, with two touchdowns, as a freshman in 2015. “There is no doubt about it. He’s a talented guy. He can play just about anywhere.”

Sims has made at least one catch in 21 consecutive games for Kansas and says he can feel his confidence building every game.

“Especially from last year,” Sims said. “Last year, I was kind of still nervous out there. Just playing, having fun. This year, I’m more focused and I feel like I’m a reliable guy for Carter (Stanley, KU’s new No. 1 quarterback) every play, to be honest.”

In his mind, Sims wouldn’t have accomplished all of his sophomore goals already without the help of first-year Kansas receivers coach Jason Phillips, who worked previously at SMU, Houston and Baylor.

“Another year with him, I can’t wait to see what I do,” Sims said.

In the meantime, KU’s leading receiver will try his best to hit his updated — and lofty — goal.

Graham credits coach Self’s fiery halftime for turning tide vs. Duke Double-Chin Music

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

K

ansas opened the second half of Tuesday night’s 77-75 victory against top-ranked Duke by going on a 17-5 tear. Junior guard Devonte’ Graham did not think the timing of the team’s best stretch of the night was a coincidence. He sent credit the way of the coach.

“The halftime speech,” Graham said of Kansas coming out of the locker room in such energetic fashion. “Coach was

a little upset with us.”

When an athlete shares that his coach was “a little upset,” what he usually means is the coach was livid Self and didn’t hold back. “(We were) taking contested threes and we weren’t making them,” Graham said. “I think we were 1 of 12 at halftime,

so he just got on us about our speed and quickness, (and said) just to get in the lane.”

Self has a way of pumping up players’ confidence when yelling at them by stressing what they do so well and blasting them for not doing it.

“He tells us nobody can guard us and stay in front of us,” Graham said. “They have to put their hands on us or foul us.

Either we’re going to get in the lane and score or get fouled or drop off to a big man, so he got

a high rate. At the other end, he moves his feet so well advancing and retreating and laterally, a nice complement to long arms that disrupt plays in so many ways.

The technical he drew didn’t cost Kansas the game, yet still will have a positive impact on Jackson, a smart, eagerto-please teenager. Self talks a lot about toughness, but doesn’t always mean in a rugged, physical sense. Often, he’s referencing the ability to concentrate well enough when exhausted and when facing adversity to continue to make smart, disciplined plays.

“Sometimes thinking they really want to win and really competing hard is counter-productive when they kind of lose focus,” Self said.

“Keeping focused and thinking next play is part of competing and I think he has to learn that, but certainly he’s got some God-given talent.”

When Jackson misses a shot, his form is so unusual that watching him clank one can trick your mind into thinking you just watched two or three misses. He missed just two shots from the field Tuesday night and most who watched probably can remember both. He also showed why anticipation over his college choice created such a stir.

lineup, Self could not — or at least did not — take Graham off the floor.

“Devonte’ couldn’t do much,” said Self, recalling that Graham played all but just a few seconds in the win. “He asked to come out and I said, ‘I can’t take you out.’ He’s cramping with five minutes left in the game and I told him to just go stand in the corner. And that’s what he did.”

Because he had responsibilities on both ends, Graham could not simply stay put. He still had to defend, be ready to leap into action at a moment’s notice and keep his head in the game and his opponents from realizing what was going on.

Even just the mere threat of having Graham out there helped the KU offense spread the floor and kept Duke’s defenders from sagging into the lane, where Mason carved them up in the final few minutes while setting up his game-winning jumper. The fact that Graham was nearly just as effective as Mason on the drive during the second half only made him a better decoy while making things tougher for Duke, which had to respect Graham’s offense.

It’s worth noting that even with the cramping issue that has dogged him during all four KU

after us about driving the ball.”

And after he did, the Jayhawks’ perimeter players relentlessly drove to the hoop and turned a five-point halftime deficit into a 12-point lead with 8:03 remaining.

Self really does know how to get his players to respond to him, a gift partially responsible for Kansas defeating the No. 1 team in the nation, despite shooting .118 on three-pointers and .474 from the line.

For two kids that committed to Appalachian State (Graham) and Towson State (Mason), I do think they’ve got quite a bit of national attention going into this year.

But, still, it’s amazing how tough those two are.”

games this season, it was Graham who could be seen crashing hard from the left wing as Mason’s game winner rotated toward the rim. The shot went in, of course, but Graham was prepared to react in case it didn’t.

That’s the beauty of what this Kansas team has going for it as the Jayhawks finally tap the brakes on a wild start to a promising and exciting season. In Mason and Graham, the Jayhawks have a one-two punch that few teams in college basketball possess.

Equal parts tough and talented, experienced and improving, Mason and Graham have shown an unquestioned ability to lead this team during the Jayhawks’ first two regular season games against big time programs.

Stellar guard play is nothing new at Kansas, but the mere fact that Self mentioned these two when talking about a trio of guards who won a national title in 2008 provides at least a glimpse into what type of luxury Self believes having Mason and Graham playing together is for the Jayhawks.

“It’s good,” Self said of

having two veteran war horses in his backcourt.

“You know, we’ve had some good guards. We had (Sherron) Collins and (Russell) Robinson and (Mario) Chalmers back there. There was three of them. We only have two of these. But they’re both pit bulls.

They both (have) a kind of assassin mentality and they probably bring our team as much toughness as anybody does.

“For two kids that committed to Appalachian State (Graham) and Towson State (Mason), I do think they’ve got quite a bit of national attention going into this year. But, still, it’s amazing how tough those two are.”
