The University of Kansas has suspended four cheerleaders from the squad after a photo with the words “Kkk go trump” was shared on a Snapchat account belonging to one of them.

The female cheerleader whose account the photo appeared on denied that she posted it. KU officials said she and three male cheerleaders in the picture were suspended from performing pending further investigation.

The Snapchat photo shows three men standing next to one another wearing matching red and blue KU holiday sweaters with the letter “K” for Kansas on the front. The Snapchat social media app allows users to add text to photos, and on the photo is written “Kkk go trump.”

The female cheerleader was suspended from the cheer squad Tuesday night during the KU men’s basketball game against the University of Alabama at Birmingham, played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., said Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletic director for public affairs.

She was not cheering at that game, Marchiony said, but that’s when the image came to the attention of KU Athletics via social media and a number of Twitter users shared and

Suspect in missing baby case was arrested in July attack Associated Press

Wichita — A Dallas woman accused of killing a Kansas woman and kidnapping her newborn daughter was arrested in July for allegedly threatening another woman with a knife and trying to hold that woman’s two daughters for ransom.

Adriana Portillo told The Wichita Eagle that she couldn’t believe that Yesenia Sesmas had been released after the July arrest. She found out Monday that Sesmas had been arrested in last week’s killing of another Wichita woman, Laura AbarcaNogueda, and the abduction of Abarca-Nogueda’s 6-day-old daughter, Sophia. The girl was retrieved safely from Sesmas’ Dallas home Saturday during a pre-dawn raid and reunited with family.

Sesmas, 34, remained jailed in Texas on Tuesday. The complaint detailing the charges

“We want to make this organization the go-to place for those who need answers,” she said. “We want to be the foremost clearinghouse of information to help seniors find the services that already exist.”

The goal is to help county seniors or those looking to retire or relocate to the county find information or help on such things as locating a home, a home-remodeling contractor, a physician who accepts Medicare patients, in-home care, clubs, transportation options, snow shoveling and other services that help them retain their independence, Williamson said.

“If we don’t know the answer, we’ll find it for you,” she said.

She “adamantly denies posting it” and said she’d left her phone unlocked, Marchiony said.

Marchiony said KU Athletics had spoken with all four cheerleaders and communicated with KU’s Office of Student Affairs, which plans

In addition to denying having discriminated against Evans, the landlords are claiming an “abuse of process” by the city. “(The city’s lawsuit) misuses and perverts the purpose of a civil action,” the counterclaim states.

The city’s nine-member Human Relations Commission has the ability to investigate, rule upon and resolve discrimination complaints, and the lawsuit states that conciliation efforts to resolve Evans’ dispute with KanMar Management were attempted but failed. The counterclaim alleges that the city “threatened” the landlords with litigation “unless they agreed to pay a

In a jailhouse interview with Dallas-Fort Worth TV station KUVN, Sesmas admitted that she killed Abarca-Nogueda but said she didn’t mean to. She said Abarca-Nogueda had reneged on an agreement to give her her newborn daughter, and that she threatened Abarca-Nogueda with a gun that accidentally discharged, killing her.

Sesmas moved from Wichita to Dallas sometime since July.

Portillo told the Eagle that she had been friends with Sesmas for years, but knew her as Patricia Hernandez. She said Sesmas offered to give her a TV and some clothing she wasn’t taking with her to Dallas, and that she invited her and her daughters, ages 10 and 3, to collect the things from her basement.

Portillo, who was eight

months pregnant at the time, said things got strange and violent in Sesmas’ basement. Portillo said Sesmas had a knife and duct tape and that she took away her cellphone, telling Portillo to tape up her girls. She said Sesmas demanded $10,000 and said she had two cohorts who were friends with Portillo’s husband and who thought he could afford to pay that much to get the girls back.

Portillo said she told Sesmas they didn’t have the money, and that she and Sesmas then began fighting. During the struggle, Portillo’s older daughter managed to get her phone back and call police. Portillo said she hit Sesmas in the eye, and that she and her girls ran outside and got into their van. Sesmas ran after them and tried getting in, eventually managing to grab the keys and throw them. Police then arrived and arrested Sesmas.

Williamson said that the move to Peaslee would temporarily remove the agency from downtown, but that it would be on the city’s bus route. In addition to the offices it will lease, the agency would be able to rent conference rooms and open areas for programming when needed, she said.

The move opened the possibility for working with the tech center on workplace retraining and continuing education for seniors, Williamson said.

Architect Jay Zimmerschied said work on the Vermont Street building would start in February or March with the removal of hazardous materials. Actual construction for the remodeling should start in May and take eight to 10 months, he said.

ACLU urges Kansas district to stop barring safety pins

WESTBOUND TRAFFIC BACKS UP as emergency responders work the scene a rush-hour, three-car accident on Kansas Highway 10 just east of the East 1200 Road intersection at about 5 p.m.

Tuesday. One person from the scene was taken to an area hospital by a helicopter ambulance.

5 people injured in 3-car crash on K-10, Highway Patrol says

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

A three-car accident Tuesday afternoon on Kansas Highway 10 sent five people to four area hospitals, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

According to the Highway Patrol’s report, Milton P. Allen Jr., 68, of Lawrence, attempted at about 4 p.m. Tuesday to cross K-10 from East 1200 Road from the south in a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.

While in the roadway, his car was struck by a 2016 Dodge Dart driven

by Taylor Diane Schroeder, 20, of Abilene, the report said. Allen’s car spun from the collision and collided with a 2016 Toyota Camry driven by Diana Bloom, 62, of Tecumseh. Bloom was not injured, the report said.

Allen was transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. No update on his condition was available Tuesday night. Schroeder and one of the passengers

in her car, Miranda Lynn Drake, 23, of Lawrence, were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where they were treated and released. Two other passengers in Schroeder’s vehicle were also hospitalized.

They are Morih Guesby, 4, and Darius Jefferson, 26.

Guesby was taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and Jefferson to the University of Kansas Hospital. No updates on their conditions were available Tuesday night.

Court records: Stabbing suspect threatened victim last month

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A 37-year-old Lawrence man accused of stabbing another man on Friday allegedly also violently threatened him last month, court and police records indicate.

Wynn Sterling Antrim Anderson was arrested Friday morning after police say he stabbed a 52-year-old man, later identified through court documents as James William Conlon.

Anderson now faces felony charges of attempted second-degree murder and making a criminal threat.

On Oct. 29, Anderson threatened “to commit violence” against Conlon,

according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court.

The threat placed Conlon in fear, the complaint says.

Six officers arrived at the scene, listed as a “domestic disturbance with weapons” call in the 1500 Anderson block of Oak Hill Avenue, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs.

Anderson’s home is 1518 Oak Hill Ave., according to Douglas County Jail booking logs.

Anderson was not arrested during that October incident, booking logs indicate. He was, however, arrested later that evening after Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said

Mission (ap) — The American Civil Liberties Union is urging a Kansas school district to stop telling staff not to wear safety pins on their clothes in a sign of solidarity to the disenfranchised.

The ACLU sent a letter Tuesday to the Shawnee Mission School District about the pins, which have gained popularity in the U.S. following the presidential election of Donald Trump. The pins first began to be worn amid reports of hate crimes in the United Kingdom following that country’s vote in June to leave the European Union. They are intended to show that the wearer is a safe person to which to turn.

Doug Bonney, chief counsel for the ACLU’s Kansas chapter, said telling staff last week not to wear the pins is “ludicrous.” He said litigation is “a very real probability” but that the organization wanted to give the district time to make a change first, with the school board expected to discuss the pins at a meeting next week.

Bonney added that any potential litigation is complicated by the fact that Kansas lawmakers eliminated due process for educators in 2014.

Bonney said staff in the district, which includes portions of several cities in suburban Kansas City, should be covered under the same free speech standard that applies to student speech.

He referred to a 1969 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Tinker v. Des Moines, which found high school students wearing black armbands to

Lawrence schools’ perspective The Lawrence school district does not have an official stance on the safety-pin issue, nor does it have any policy in place that prohibits employees from wearing safety pins, Julie Boyle, the district’s communications director, told the Journal-World Tuesday. protest the Vietnam War were protected by the First Amendment’s free speech guarantees. The ruling allows for restrictions if the speech materially risks substantially disrupting schoolwork.

“If it is actually the district’s position that it is ‘disruptive’ to symbolically state that all students can feel safe and valued, that says something deeply disturbing and harmful about the culture and orientation of Shawnee Mission School District,” Micah Kubic, the ACLU of Kansas’ executive director, said in the letter.

The district, in a statement Monday along with the local union, stressed the importance of creating schools that “foster a culture of respect for all.”

Employees’ communication inside the classroom “is considered speech on behalf of the school district” and that the pins had prompted complaints regarding “political connotations,” the statement read.

Marcus Baltzell, a Kansas National Education Association spokesman, said the union was working with the district on the issue.

“What is disruptive is that at a time of fear and uncertainty, telling teachers and students secondarily that this is somehow a disruptive influence.

Educators should be free to advocate for the safety of their students,” Baltzell said.

Kubic said he has heard that teachers have been told they would be face unspecified disciplined if they continued to wear the pins. Neither Kubic nor Baltzell were aware of any teachers who had faced discipline over the pins so far.

Jim Hinson, the district’s superintendent, said Tuesday the district’s admonishment of the safety pins followed other cases of potentially disruptive political symbols in its schools. Those instances included an employee who, after the Nov. 8 election, brought a Confederate flag to school for reasons unrelated to that class’ curriculum, Hinson said, adding that that employee honored administrators’ request to remove the flag and was not disciplined.

“Since we dealt with (that) one political symbol, we had to deal with all political symbols the same,” Hinson told The Associated Press. “We were aware of teachers in tears, accused of not being safe because they were not wearing safety pins. It really started snowballing.”

Hinson said he was unaware of whether any teachers on Tuesday were defying the request to stop wearing safety pins.

Kansas waterslide on which boy died to be demolished

By Jim Suhr Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — A 168-foot-tall Kansas waterslide on which a state lawmaker’s 10-yearold son was killed last summer will be demolished once the unfolding investigation of the tragedy is finished, the water park’s operators said Tuesday.

Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts and the family that runs it said in a statement that the “Verrückt” ride at the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, Kansas, will be permanently removed from its tower “once the investigation is concluded and we are given permission by the court.”

“In our opinion, it is the only proper course

‘‘

In our opinion, it is the only proper course of action following this tragedy. All of us at Schlitterbahn have been heartbroken over the tragedy that occurred on Verrückt.”

— Statement from Schlitterbahn

of action following this tragedy,” the statement read, adding that “all of us at Schlitterbahn have been heartbroken over the tragedy that occurred on Verrückt.”

The ride — billed as the world’s tallest waterslide — has been closed since Caleb Thomas Schwab died Aug. 7 during one of its runs. The boy was decapitated in the accident, a person familiar with the investigation previously told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity

because that person was not authorized to speak publicly about the boy’s death.

Two other riders in the raft, both women, were injured.

Attorneys for Caleb — son of Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab — and the women are independently investigating the accident. No charges or lawsuits have been filed as of Tuesday. Messages left by the AP after business hours Tuesday for the attorneys were not immediately returned.

Verrückt — German for “insane” — featured multi-person rafts that make a 17-story drop at speeds of up to 70 mph, followed by a surge up a hump and a 50-foot descent to a finishing pool.

Riders, who were required to be at least 54 inches tall, were harnessed with two nylon seatbelt-like straps — one crossing the rider’s lap, the other stretching diagonally like a car shoulder seatbelt. Each strap is held in place by long straps that close with fabric fasteners, not buckles.

Riders hold ropes inside the raft.

Riders are weighed to ensure each raft carries between 400 pounds and 550 pounds.

States’ regulations of waterslides and other

amusement rides have faced scrutiny following Caleb’s death. Kansas is known for its light regulation of amusement park rides, and the Texasbased company that operates Schlitterbahn lobbied legislators to help ensure that it remained responsible for its own inspections.

Kansas mandates annual inspections of permanent amusement park rides but allows private inspectors to do the checks, rather than requiring a state inspection.

A document released by the state Department of Labor after Caleb’s death showed that all of Schlitterbahn’s rides passed private inspections in June.

Lynn Johnson, an attorney for the women

injured while accompanying Caleb in a raft, said in August that his clients “want answers and assurances from Schlitterbahn that that slide will be corrected or not continue to be in operation.”

“If necessary, there will be litigation,” he said then.

Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts said in its statement Tuesday that it has been cooperating with investigators and the victims’ families and attorneys, noting that “the safety of our staff and our guests is our top priority.”

“In our 50 years of providing an environment for families and friends to gather,” the statement read, “we’ve never experienced this kind of devastating event.”

Todd Kidwell, of Chanute, pleaded guilty Monday for the June 2015 death of 60-year-old Glenda Taylor. She was hit while participating in an amateur time trial on a rural Crawford County road.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that before the plea deal, Kidwell was charged with seconddegree murder.

Kidwell’s attorneys had contended that the accident occurred when Kidwell swerved to the left to avoid a head-on collision with another truck at the same time that Taylor veered to her left.

Testimony at an earlier hearing indicated Taylor’s body was thrown 169 feet after she was struck.

Skating around the truth The synthetic ice rink outside the library was a nice effort to make a downtown attraction, but it may be time to admit it’s not working.

T

he city of Lawrence’s synthetic skating rink appears to be on thin ice.

After generating about $26,000 in its first season — the winter of 2014-15 — the rink produced just $9,000 last winter. Rink revenues weren’t even half the operating costs, which include about $13,000 for staff and about $10,000 in setup costs.

Mark Hecker, assistant director of Parks and Recreation for the city, blamed weather for much of the dropoff in participation. “If it’s too hot or too cold, people don’t want to skate,” he said. “We had warmer temperatures early last year, and then it got really cold in January.”

So, what Hecker is saying the rink needs to be successful is a string of consistent winter weather in which it’s neither too cold nor too hot in Kansas? That shouldn’t be a problem to dial up.

In all seriousness, while the skating rink was a good idea to try, it simply may not be the downtown attraction that officials had hoped it would be.

First, Hecker is right about the weather.

Lawrence’s climate simply may not be able to support a rink.

Second, the synthetic ice the rink uses has proved to be a less appealing experience than skating on real ice. It’s hard to glide on the plastic pieces that fit together and make up the rink installed outside the Lawrence Public Library.

City officials hope that by adding events and attractions, mostly focused on kids, they can boost rink attendance this winter. That’s certainly worth a try.

And there’s no rule that says a city amenity must be profitable. Residents may feel strongly enough about having a rink downtown that they are willing to lose $10,000 or so each year on its operation.

But it’s difficult to believe that’s the case. In its first year, the rink was marginally successful. Participation dropped off by more than 50 percent in the second year. If the rink can’t perform better in its third season, maybe it’s simply an idea that isn’t worth continuing.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 23, 1916: years l “Former Governor W. R. ago Stubbs, who returned Tuesday IN 1916 from Texas, said yesterday that he was the target at which hundreds of questions about Kansas and the November elections had been aimed. ‘After the result was known, everywhere I went in Texas – on the trains, in the hotels and on the streets of the towns – people wanted to know what had happened in Kansas, and how it was possible that this normally Republican state had gone for Wilson,’ said Mr. Stubbs.” l “The executive committee of the Merchants and Farmers Association will consider in a session tonight the advisability of incorporating under the name of the ‘Chamber of Commerce.’ The matter has called for much discussion in regular meeting.”

Mideast ponders U.S. moves now Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — What does Donald Trump’s election mean for the Middle East? A group of prominent foreign ministers and policy experts gathered here last weekend to explore the election’s implications for the world’s most volatile region.

The gathering, known as the “Sir Bani Yas” forum, is hosted each year by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, the UAE’s foreign minister.

Comments here weren’t attributable, so I can’t identify the participants by name.

But it included representatives from nearly every Arab country, as well as America, Europe, Russia, China and the United Nations.

Change itself was welcomed by the Gulf Arabs, who grew to dislike many aspects of President Obama’s Middle East policy.

But so little is certain about Trump’s positions that even those urging support cautioned that “nobody knows” where he stands.

Given Trump’s sparse record, several speakers focused on his obvious personality traits. One argued that Trump is clearly a vain man, so flatter him — as many world leaders have done in their contacts since Nov. 8. Another cautioned that Trump is a volatile man, so don’t corner him. A third argued that he’s transactional — a self-proclaimed “deal-maker” — so look for the deals that will serve the region’s interests.

Trump’s rhetorical volleys against trade drew surprisingly little com-

“

In the Middle East, political support tends to go with a winner.” ment, given that the UAE is a symbol of globalization.

Nor did his anti-Muslim remarks draw any rebuke.

One prominent attendee said at least Trump would be anti-Shiite (hard on Iran) as well as anti-Sunni, which he claimed Obama has been.

Perhaps in these mercantile city-states, people doubt that Trump could reverse the momentum of diverse, multicultural global commerce even if he wanted.

The build-out is just moving too fast: At a backyard dinner in Dubai hosted by Afghan media mogul Saad Mohseni, I met young entrepreneurs investing in East African logistics networks, Saudi supermarkets, South Asian power grids and a raft of other projects.

Two issues facing Trump garnered special focus at the Sir Bani Yas discussions.

The Iran nuclear deal is the first conundrum.

Throughout the campaign, Trump suggested he would scrap the agreement or renegotiate it. But there was

near-unanimity here that Trump should accept the agreement as a done deal, and focus instead on curbing Iran’s aggressive behavior in the region. This consensus included even officials who had been among the agreement’s strident critics.

“Only someone who wants to send us into the unknown world would tear it up,” said one prominent Gulf Arab official. “Nobody is really against the deal,” said another, after sharply criticizing the way it was negotiated.

Many in this group hoped that Trump would be tougher in challenging Iranian provocations. Trump said during the campaign that if Iranian gunboats harassed U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf, he would blow them out of the water. That’s the kind of anti-Iran pushback the Gulf Arabs want to see (albeit with someone else’s ships at risk).

Trump’s willingness to consider allying with Russia in Syria was the second big, overarching issue. Many Arab officials here backed the Syrian opposition against President Bashar Assad, so you might think that any hint that Trump would partner with Moscow would be anathema. But in the Middle East, political support tends to go with a winner, and Russia looks like the strong player in Syria these days.

Representatives of the Syrian opposition spoke movingly of the human cost of Russia’s intervention, and argued that the fall of Alep-

po would mean permanent war.

Russian speakers made some of the most provocative comments at the conference. Hillary Clinton’s intervention policies would have driven America toward “an abyss” and a “kinetic collision in Syria,” said one.

“Now, with Trump, we have at least taken a step back.”

Could a new U.S.-Russian dialogue — which draws in Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the other Middle East players — stabilize this region and calm its fratricidal sectarian wars? Several speakers explored that possibility.

A Gulf Arab suggested such a concert of nations, including the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, plus the regional powers. An American expert recalled the Madrid peacemaking conference in 1991, after the end of the Cold War. A Russian recalled the 1815 Congress of Vienna that brought peace to a fractured Europe.

As Don Corleone convened the “five families” in “The Godfather,” so, too, perhaps, might Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin gather America, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. But experts warn against “Yalta II” — a new Russian-American attempt to designate “spheres of influence” that carve up the region.

There were no answers here about life in the new world of Donald Trump, but so many intriguing questions.

Trump’s reaction to dissent at theater laughable

By Peter Burian

As a student of ancient Greek theater, I was amused

by Donald Trump’s weekend tweet-storm over what he called the “harassment” of Mike Pence.

The cause of the supposed outrage was a brief speech addressed to the vice president-elect following a performance Friday of the hit musical “Hamilton.” As the cast stood on stage for their curtain call, one of the lead actors, Brandon Victor Dixon, politely but clearly expressed the cast’s shared apprehension: “We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights.”

Pence listened to Dixon from the lobby, and on “Fox News Sunday” allowed that he was not offended by what he heard. But Trump, not surprisingly, was. He seems incapable of letting any slight, however slight, pass untweeted. It’s as if he’s actively courting the “demagogue” label hurled at him during the campaign.

Greek comedy provides an ironic perch from which to examine Trump’s reaction. We need only consider an early work (5th century BCE) by Athens’ great comic playwright Aristophanes, a politically themed musical comedy like “Hamilton” called “The Knights.” In it, Aristophanes attacks a successful populist politician named Cleon who became, for the Athenians, the paradigm of the demagogue.

Like our president-elect, Cleon was a wealthy scion of the commercial class, a man with a penchant for litigation (he apparently sued Aristophanes) and a somewhat uncouth but charismatic manner. For his supporters, he was a breath of fresh air because he did not belong to the traditional political class and promised to steer Athens to success in its war with

“

Sparta. To his opponents, his bravado, apparent lack of scruples and blatant appeal to the crowd seemed to place the very institution of democracy in jeopardy.

If Trump wants to know what theatrical harassment looks like, he need only read “The Knights,” which is unsparing in its satire and exults in verbal abuse. By such standards, the polite address to Pence at the end of Hamilton was a model of deference and decorum.

On further reflection, I was upset by the suggestion that even the mildest criticism could now be regarded as off limits. Trump apparently believes the theater is (of all things) a “safe space.”

According to his second tweet, “The theatre must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence.

Apologize!”

The theater as an institution is certainly a special place, but only sometimes a safe one. The rich history of theatrical censorship would be enough to establish that point. For me, however, the most telling point is that the tradition — which it set under way more than 2,500 years ago — was shaped by the ideas and practices of democratic speech.

Whatever the flaws of the Athenian democracy, and there were many, it deserves credit for having at its heart the citizen’s right to speak freely in the public square, in the assembly where laws were debated and enacted, and in the theater. Democracy was then and is still the form of governance that leaves everything open for discussion, including democracy itself.

Drama, intrinsically dialogic, draws the breath of life from characters in conflict, opposing points of view, the clash of ideas.

In ancient Athens, the theater was in many ways the school of democracy, where

hearing characters confront each other’s perspectives helped citizens listen to, make sense of, and participate in democratic debate.

The experience was never meant to be “safe” and in the case of tragedy was often (as it still can be) deeply disturbing.

Today, when the virtual worlds of the internet and so-called social media have largely supplanted civil conversation on matters of public concern, live theater is one of the last remaining spaces where people can come together in shared engagement with important ideas and emotions. But how often does this happen as directly as it did last Friday evening?

Trump’s objection to even so mild a form of dissent implies that the role of the theater is to offer entertainment to an audience that doesn’t care to be confronted with gratuitous opinions from those it hired to entertain them.

If that is so, what public space is left for face-toface expression of critical, contentious or contrarian views? What school of democracy will we have?

Baldwin City Council to move meetings to Tuesdays

Pittsburg man charged with killing 2 family members

The Baldwin City Council voted on Monday to have its regular meetings on Tuesdays starting with the new year.

Beginning Jan. 3, the council will meet on the first and second Tuesday of each month. The council will continue to meet at 7 p.m. at the Baldwin City Library.

The move has long been suggested to avoid a scheduling conflict with the Baldwin school board’s monthly meeting on the third Monday of each month. The move also allows the council to avoid changing meeting dates that conflict with Monday holidays.

The Council also approved a grant for a mural project at 608 High St., which is owned by a limited liability corporation of partners Rick Dietz, Dave Hill and Alan Wright. The grant will provide $3,000 for the $7,760 project.

Pleasanton (ap) — The state has charged a 31-year-old Kansas man with the killing of two of his relatives.

The Kansas Attorney General announced Tuesday that David Patrick McNabb of Pittsburg is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, felony theft and interference with law enforcement.

He is suspected of killing his 65-yearold uncle, Kenneth McNabb, and 87-yearold Betty McNabb, Kenneth’s mother.

They were reported missing Nov. 11 from their home in Pleasanton in Linn County.

Their bodies were found buried on rural property west of Pittsburg Nov. 15.

The complaint alleges that David McNabb killed the two victims on or near Nov. 7. He also is charged with lying to a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent about the case.

Beginning in 2000, the FDA approved four drugs to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a form of PMS said to be so severe that it qualifies as a psychiatric condition.

The hitch: It wasn’t even recognized as a mental disorder until 13 years after first drug treatments were on market.

The drug approvals started less than two years after an unusual private meeting involving six officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and four executives from Eli Lilly. The drug company’s lucrative patent on the antidepressant Prozac was about to expire and the executives had a new market in mind.

The 1998 meeting in Washington, D.C., was funded by Lilly and included 16 researchers exploring the condition, called PMDD. There was strong disagreement over the condition, which the American Psychiatric Association had determined needed more study before it could be included in its manual defining mental disorders and symptoms.

That didn’t stop the meeting participants.

On their own, they determined PMDD was a distinct clinical disorder and declared that a class of antidepressant drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors — a group including Pro-

zac — were effective at treating it.

Eight months later, the researchers wrote a paper summing up their findings and describing the process that led to them. It was published in a medical journal affiliated with an organization that had gotten money from Lilly in the past.

Lilly rebranded Prozac, changing the pill’s colors from green and yellow to pink and purple, and giving it a more femininesounding name — Sarafem.

Sarafem won FDA approval.

It wouldn’t be until 2013 that the American Psychiatric Association formally recognized PMDD as a distinct psychiatric condition — a determination that was based on the recommendation of a panel on which nearly 70% of the members had drug company ties.

By then, drug companies had created a major new market built on a disputed condition, inflated estimates of how many women had it and drugs that carry severe risks and side effects, such as suicidal thinking.

Conclusions from that 1998 meeting were presented as a consensus. But one participant whose name appears on the paper said she never agreed that PMDD was a mental condition or that antidepressants should be used to treat it.

To this day, Sally Severino, an emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, said she holds an opposite view.

There never has been convincing

v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

For more than three decades, Nick Maravell and his family farmed on a 20-acre plot in suburban Maryland, tucked between the Potomac River and megamansions in Potomac, an upscale suburb that is home to powerful lobbyists, government contractors and other wealthy families.

Nick’s Organic Farm, a relaxed place where customers would stop by to pick up some vegetables or simply drop in for a chat, was a tenant on land owned by the county public school system.

But one day in 2011, Maravell got some bad news. Montgomery County’s top elected official and his aides had been negotiating in secret to get the school board to kick out Maravell’s farm and rent the site to a private soccer club.

“It caught everybody by surprise,” said Curt Uhre, a neighbor.

“A greater inclination among government officials for gaming the system...”

National Freedom of Information Coalition

Residents who cherished the farm quickly rallied to Maravell’s side. Worried about traffic and the potential loss of open space, they began researching the county’s proposal to convert the farm to soccer fields.

During the legal fight, they also began learning about Maryland’s open records law. Used frequently by journalists and business interests, the state’s public records law allowed them to seek government documents — memos, officials’ calendars and other items — that might offer clues to how the deal was done or hints about who had been speaking with whom, when the plans were hatched and why.

But when residents asked for those documents, they hit a wall: Montgomery County government officials said they could not find many emails, letters and calendars related to their search.

This seemed preposterous, so the residents took the only route available to them — they went to court. A skeptical county judge urged the government to look anew for missing documents. Officials soon managed to find most v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

It’s a jungle out there.

Two prides of lions, the royalty of the bush country here, fight for control of territory. A leopard tries to protect her cubs from the lions. A pack of wild dogs confronts hyenas and elephants tromping through the dogs’ camp.

Think Game of Thrones of the animal kingdom, where families fight for their land. It is a fitting parallel to describe the conflict of wild beasts in this drought-strick-

A visit to this area of Chobe National Park, sponsored by Nat Geo WILD, underscores the extraordinary lengths the filmmakers went to capture the amazing conflicts that occur here.

Watching these animals in their natural habitat is also a poignant reminder of their daily struggle to survive — not only from the threat of the harsh natural conditions, but the danger

Botswana is among the few countries in this southern African region to take steps to preserve the dwindling numbers of big cats, elephants, wild dogs and other animals, which are increasingly endangered because of human activity.

Botswana’s government has created a large sanctuary to protect these magnificent creatures, who are under enough stress just putting up with the brutal heat and scarcity of water — and food for those animals that aren’t meat eaters.

Secret meetings ‘absolutely absurd’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

evidence to prove either contention, she said.

DRUGS FIRST, DISORDER SECOND A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/ MedPage Today investigation into the emergence of PMDD found evidence of drug company influence — and money — at virtually every step along the way. It is one of a series of new disorders promoted by drug companies and treated with expensive, often dangerous, drugs.

What stands out about PMDD is that so much of the effort to promote the condition began long before it was recognized as a psychiatric disorder.

Start with that 1998 meeting, paid for by Lilly.

On its face, the meeting — which over the years has received scant public attention — was unusual.

Lilly spokesman J. Scott MacGregor said a check of company records showed the meeting was called after Lilly met with FDA officials “who suggested it would be useful” to convene experts to determine if PMDD was a distinct disorder.

In an email, FDA spokeswoman Lauren Shaham defended the agency’s participation in the meeting and noted that a public discussion of the condition was held about a year later at the official FDA meeting on whether to approve Sarafem.

Critics say it is unusual for a small group of doctors to independently determine what is or is not a medical or psychiatric condition.

Allen Frances, chairman of the American Psychiatric Association panel that in 1994 had decided not to elevate PMDD to an official condition, said he was “puzzled”

at the time about the FDA approval of the drug. The condition, he said, “wasn’t ready for prime time.”

In an interview, he said it was “absolutely absurd for the FDA, in secret meetings with drug companies, to make a decision that would be contrary” to what the psychiatric community had decided about PMDD. Similarly, guidelines to help doctors decide how to treat PMDD were issued before the condition was even recognized as a psychiatric disorder.

Even before it was formally recognized, the criteria for PMDD said a woman must have at least five of 11 symptoms.

Typically such guidelines are issued by medical societies or other groups. In this case, the 2006 guidelines were issued by a small group of researchers and paid for by GlaxoSmithKline — the maker of Paxil.

The guidelines proclaimed antidepressants, such as Paxil, were “the treatment of choice” for PMDD. While the guidelines did not disclose financial conflicts of the eight authors, at least six are known to have worked for companies that make drugs used to treat PMDD, according to a Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today analysis of other published work by the authors.

At the time the FDA was considering Sarafem for approval, estimates claimed as many as 8% of premenopausal American women had PMDD, a figure that would

represent about 6 million women.

But independent researchers say those calculations are flawed.

Even before it was formally recognized, the criteria for PMDD said a woman must have at least five of 11 symptoms, such as feeling angry, irritable, depressed or anxious, and having mood swings.

Sarah Gehlert, of the Institute of Public Health at Washington University in St. Louis, said she was suspicious that the various estimates were not following the definition.

In 2009, Gehlert’s team studied 1,247 women from rural and urban communities in Illinois and Missouri and followed them through two menstrual cycles to determine if they met the criteria.

The finding: Only 1.3% of premenopausal women may have PMDD in any given year.

That means just under 1 million women in the United States, not 6 million.

“We did become convinced that some women had PMDD,” Gehlert said, “but we could also see that it had the potential to harm women if it became a quick-and-dirty diagnosis.”

Obama passes 1,000 mark in commutations 79 non-violent drug offenders’ sentences shortened Tuesday David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama surpassed the 1,000 mark in prison commutations Tuesday, ending the sentences for 79 mostly non-violent drug offenders.

The current total of commutations — 1,023 — is more than those of the 11 previous presidents combined.

Obama, who has called for an overhaul of federal sentencing laws, said in a Facebook post that “it makes no sense” for non-violent offenders to serve “decades, or sometimes life, in prison” because of laws passed years ago in the wake of the government’s “war on drugs.”

“That’s not serving taxpayers, and it’s not serving the public safety,” Obama said in his post.

“Instead, it burdens our already

overcrowded prisons. And it hurts families.”

Although most of the names on the pre-Thanksgiving list involved drug offenses, some were convicted on firearms crimes related to drugs.

Criminal justice groups are urging Obama to go further with commutations and pardons.

“Today, we joined a growing group of advocates asking President Obama to expand the scope of his clemency initiative to include a larger number of non-violent drug offenders in extremely low-risk categories,” said Jessica Jackson Sloan, national director of a group called #cut50.

Sloan noted that “clemency is the one administrative action President Obama can take that will not be overturned by an incoming Trump administration.”

On Facebook, Obama said that “good minds on both sides” in Congress should “come together to restore fairness in our criminal justice system, use our tax dollars more effectively, and give second chances to those who have earned them.”

Documents showed that County Executive Isiah Leggett, a Democrat less than a year from his next election, had been pushing behind closed doors for the private soccer club to take over the site and attempting to pressure a reluctant school board, even though in theory he had no power over school system decisions.

transparency,” he wrote in an email. “That was a ruse to advance the substance of those opposed to the project — that they opposed using public land located near their exclusive neighborhood so that kids, including disadvantaged kids, could have a place to play soccer.”

The battle over the fate of the farm spanned two years and cost the residents at least $100,000 in legal fees, said. Was the county’s failure to provide key information to the public due to lack of knowledge of the state’s open meetings law? Sloppy recordkeeping? Deliberate obfuscation?

It was impossible to tell.

This expensive, drawn-out dispute was over a single plot of land and some soccer fields. But the story of Nick’s Organic Farm is far from unique. The same thing is happening across the United States.

While much media attention is focused on federal government secrecy, secretive practices of state and local governments often get less scrutiny but frequently have a more immediate impact on communities.

The lack of transparency by state and local governments can discourage civic discourse and grass-roots engagement with government, as a frustrated public often simply gives up after struggling but failing to find out what is going on close to home.

Robert J. Freeman, executive director of New York’s publicly funded Committee on Open Government, one of few such agencies in the country, says U.S. jurisdictions have fallen behind countries such as Estonia, Mexico and Peru in sharing records and keeping public meetings public.

“You need a government champion who works independently to make the laws work,” he said. But few governments in the U.S. have them. In many states, the only way to pry loose information is to file a lawsuit.

THE FORMS OF SECRECY

State and local secrecy takes many forms.

Some communities fail to provide budget information that is clear and easy to understand, or they list contracts but don’t explain why they were awarded.

Others try to charge excessive fees for information sometimes millions of dollars as the Massachusetts State Police did to a lawyer seeking information about drunken driving tests — hire out-

local fight — over development, schools, traffic or crime — who bears the burden and cost of trying to enforce those laws.

RESIDENTS STEP UP

STEPHEN R. HERM

Curt Uhre stands next to Nick’s Organic Farm in Potomac, Md. side companies to supply data at extraordinary prices or evade open meetings laws by creating small subcommittees that they claim are exempt from the statutes.

When members of the public seek information — such as the residents who wanted to find out why Nick’s Organic Farm was being evicted — they often bump into impenetrable walls. Information laws in many states are weak, enforcement by governments is limited and appeals are difficult.

The events of 9/11 caused new retrenchment on openness. The League of Women Voters in 2006 found that there was a “growing difficulty” in gaining access to public information, much of it justified as “critical to protect homeland security.” And the National Freedom of Information Coalition, in more recent surveys, has found “a greater inclination among government officials for gaming the system than complying with existing disclosure and accountability laws.”

GAMING THE SYSTEM

There are many examples of what the coalition believe is gaming the system.

As he was poised to launch his campaign for president in 2015,

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker hatched a plan with Republican colleagues to drastically reduce public access to state government documents and emails in a state with a long history of government transparency. Initially Walker denied that the idea originated in his administration, but emails obtained through open records requests by news organizations in the state revealed that Walker had misled the public about his administration’s key role.

Massachusetts State Police demanded $2.7 million to retrieve documents when a lawyer asked for data on breath alcohol tests.

In Tennessee, a state board created to assess state transparency regulations held meetings in secret.

In Maryland, the same county government that thwarted residents in the Nick’s Organic Farm case asked a resident to pay more than $58,000 for information about a public library project.

Only a handful of states in the U.S. have any reliable system for enforcing their own open meetings and open records laws. Most rely on private parties to press for enforcement.

Too often, it is the community activist whose interest in government information is sparked by a

In San Jose, Calif., resident Ted Smith filed a public records request seeking information about a downtown development project partly funded with public money.

The city turned down his request for official emails because the mayor and council members had sent them on their personal accounts. Smith sued, and the case is now before the California Supreme Court. In San Diego, Donna Frye, a former city council member, is working to win support for a ballot measure that would make city officials’ texts, emails and other correspondence on private phones, tablets and other personal devices public information.

Oklahoma’s public university regents set up small subcommittees that don’t equal a quorum — allowing them to meet behind closed doors.

Officials at the University of Kentucky, who are balking at releasing information about a completed sexual assault investigation implicating a now-former faculty member, in August announced that they were suing the university’s student newspaper to try to prevent disclosure.

The state attorney general had ordered disclosure of most documents, and the university can appeal that ruling only by going to court against the student newspaper.

Dan Bevarly, interim executive director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition at the University of Missouri, said residents increasingly must help fill in the gaps.

Top picks from a ho-hum 2016 Hot items include Google Pixel, eero and PlayStation VR Edward C. Baig @edbaig USA TODAY

NEW YORK Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 might have claimed a spot on the tastiest products to consider this holiday season — but we all know how that turned out.

After receiving high praise during its late-summer debut, the twice-recalled and ultimately discontinued phablet phone had a tendency to catch on fire.

Fortunately, the products on this list might be deemed hot for another reason.

Pixel uses Google Assistant.

uGOOGLE PIXEL. Pixels are the first phones in which Google took over all aspects of the hardware and software design, borrowing from Apple’s playbook, resulting in a superb, well-rounded smartphone. The cameras are excellent, certainly on par with the equally fine iPhone 7 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S7 shooters.

What particularly stands out is the presence of the Google Assistant, the voice-driven, artificialintelligence-infused digital assistant. While not perfect, Assistant encourages you to have a conversation, helped out at times by contextual buttons on the screen with suggested replies.

The phone runs the latest version of Android called Nougat and also supports Google’s new mobile Daydream virtual-reality headset. A 5-inch version starts at $649; the 5.5-inch Pixel XL model starts at $769. uSONY PLAYSTATION VR. This has been a breakout year of sorts for virtual reality headgear,

It’s a question worth pondering as we embark on our annual list of the top tech turkeys of the year.

Note 7 received rave reviews for wireless charging, water resistant design and the ability to unlock the phone with your iris. But weeks after the first shipments, consumers started reporting phones that were erupting in flames, causing damage to houses and cars. Samsung announced a recall and a massive replacement — and then the new phones started blowing up, too.

Samsung, which could be on the hook for as much as $10 billion in lost sales and recall charges, pulled the Note 7 alto-

Using the Photoscan app and camera on your smartphone, you snap four pictures of the analog picture you’re trying to capture, by lining up each of the four small circles that appear on top of the image inside the app.

“To imagine Santa having a smoke, it’s just funny,” Billy Bob Thornton says of his boozy, degenerate Santa, Willie Soke.

‘Pushing the envelope’ is putting it mildly for slew of crowd-pleasers Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

You’ll have a crude Christmas, that’s certain, if you’re looking for holiday movies at the cineplex.

Christmas-themed offerings are overwhelmingly R-rated in 2016, starting with Billy Bob Thornton’s return as a degenerate Kris Kringle poseur in Bad Santa 2 (in theaters Wednesday).

T.J. Miller and Kate McKinnon lead an ensemble cast throwing the biggest, bawdiest work bash ever in Office Christmas Party (Dec. 9). Yes, that’s cocaine coming out of the snow machine.

Why Him? (Dec. 23) features Bryan Cranston’s Ned Fleming locked in a bitter quest to stop Internet billionaire Laird Mayhew (James Franco) from proposing to his beloved daughter over the holidays. Fleming even hates the tattoo of his family’s Christmas card that Mayhew inks on his back.

We’ve come a long way from Jimmy Stewart’s wholesome It’s a Wonderful Life, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary.

“They just keep pushing and pushing the envelope. Now they’re not using a double entendre, they just say the word,” says Jimmy Hawkins, 75, who starred as Tommy, George Bailey’s son, in 1946’s It’s a Wonderful Life. “The studios only make pictures people want to see.

There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just not my cup of tea.”

Thornton believes it was

2003’s Bad Santa that sowed the dirty seeds. “It was the first of its kind, that sort of dark/edgy, profane kind of thing.”

His Willie Soke became a cult classic with crude talk, cheap whiskey and cigarettes, using his Santa disguise to rob the mall

at night.

Real mall Santas objected, and one woman told Thornton he had “ruined the name of Santa and Jesus and the Bible. I told her, ‘Ma’am, I have read the Bible, and Santa is not in it,’ ” Thornton recalls.

JAN THIJS

The formula worked. “It’s the juxtaposition with a sentimental holiday. To imagine Santa having a smoke, it’s just funny,” he says.

Thornton’s new Bad Santa 2 goes even further, ensuring the image of Soke having a quickie on a Christmas tree lot with an upstanding charity head (Christina Hendricks) will dance in moviegoers’ heads for generations.

Film critic Alonso Duralde, author of the seasonal guide Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, says Bad Santa opened the floodgates for studios trying to attract a paying niche audience while TV runs 24/7 conventional yuletide fare.

“Going for the R-rated audiences is something you’re not going to get on the Hallmark Channel,” Duralde says. “Christmas movies were a last bastion of traditional sweet areas. So it feels jarring. But it also feels like you’re getting away with something. So they’re pushing that as hard as they can.”

Office Christmas Party directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck say they were inspired by the sappy Christmas movie glut.

“We wanted to make something for adults,” Gordon says.

“The holidays are a way to get away from the pain of the year, creating something people can laugh at. That’s a gift.”

Speck insists it’s a gift with feeling, like the movies of old.

But different.

Miller’s character is trying to save his co-workers’ jobs by throwing a party to impress a key client.

“There’s a lot of heart and humanity here,” Speck says.

“Ultimately, it’s a life-affirming journey that we arrive at through an R rating.”

‘Rules Don’t Apply’ to Warren Beatty’s bizarre jaunt No one is more qualified to map out a Hollywood nostalgia trip than Warren Beatty.

The legend’s latest comedy/ drama Rules Don’t Apply (eegE out MOVIE of four; rated PG-13; REVIEW in theaters nationBRIAN TRUITT wide Wednesday) is refreshingly oldschool, revisiting an era when Tinseltown trysts were mainly on the down-low and industry titan Howard Hughes was not cool with workplace romance.

But the writer/producer/director/star’s first film in 15 years struggles with its tone and is a solid if unspectacular effort, though Beatty smartly takes a supporting role by playing the kookily eccentric Hughes.

Beatty doesn’t even show up until a half-hour in. By then, we’ve met the starry-eyed protagonists: Marla Mabrey (Lily Collins) is a small-town Virginia virgin and ex-beauty queen who arrives in 1958 Los Angeles with dreams of becoming an iconic actress under her new boss, Hughes, and Frank Forbes (Alden

Ehrenreich) is her driver, a California kid harboring big plans but also a fiancée (Taissa Farmiga) back home in Fresno.

Frank and Marla find a common ground in faith and sparks fly early. However, Hughes’ rule that employees can’t have a relationship with contract actresses — which senior driver Levar Mathis (Matthew Broderick) constantly reminds Frank — gets in the way of their romance, then Hughes himself becomes a leath-

Ehrenreich shows off a huge amount of charm from the start (enough where you see why he was cast as young Han Solo), though Collins showcases hers gradually over the course of the movie, as Marla has her innocence chipped away. (She also has a pretty singing voice, one that bewitches Hughes.)

The youngsters don’t spend as much time together as you’d hope: Personal issues have Marla

Frank Forbes (Alden Ehrenreich) is a young driver driven to go far in his career. reconsidering life apart from Frank, while he gets embroiled in Hughes’ business dealings.

Beatty is entertainingly weird as Hughes, nailing the rich man’s storied idiosyncrasies: skulking around in the shadows, not wanting to meet with an increasingly frustrated businessman (Oliver Platt), sharing hamburgers with Frank in front of his airplane and having TV dinners in an expensive bungalow with Marla. He has great chemistry with both Ehren-

reich and Collins, though Beatty’s character, while fun to watch, tends to slow down the plot in key places.

The filmmaker has rounded up an impressive supporting cast, recruiting his wife, Annette Bening (as Marla’s uptight mom), plus Candice Bergen, Martin Sheen, Ed Harris and Dabney Coleman. Broderick really shines in this group of big-screen stalwarts — his Levar acts as the voice of reason for Frank amid Hughes’ stormy sea of crazy.

Beatty is as confident and stylish a filmmaker as he was on Dick Tracy, Reds and his other directorial efforts, but Rules just never comes together as it should. The goofy comedy doesn’t jibe with the more serious themes of religion, family, teen pregnancy and casual sexism (a product of the time), and the shifting relationship dynamics between Marla, Frank and Hughes complicate matters.

But what Beatty does best is surround himself with a wealth of talent for a breezy affair that hits a retro sweet spot.

Dear Annie: I moved to New York City for work just over two years ago. Though I grew up in a smaller town in the Midwest and stayed close to home for college, I really love the pace of the city, and I’m starting to feel that I have my place here.

About a month after moving, I was introduced to my now boyfriend, “Josh.” We instantly hit it off and have a great, loving relationship. He is from New York originally and has a huge community nearby. Given all his family, co-workers and friends — childhood to college — there’s a vast network of people whom I now feel connected with.

Yet I still feel as if I’m “Josh’s girlfriend” to most of them rather than my own person.

True, we mainly see each other when Josh is around, but I’d like to move past that.

Pampered fowl on ‘Chicken’ As millions travel to gather around tomorrow’s Butterball, CMT airs the acclaimed 2016 documentary “Chicken People” (7 p.m.). The film features the obsessive and perfectionist characters who populate the peculiar subculture of competitive show chicken circuits.

We meet experts who have catalogued the proper size and position of every breed’s particular feathers, others who individually shampoo their pampered fowls in the kitchen sink and a pair of adolescent twins who let us in on the vicious rivalries between show chicken owners.

Yes, it would be easy, perhaps accurate, to call this the “Best in Show” of the chicken circuit.

But that would avoid focusing on the often-poignant bond between people and their domestic fowl.

While director and actor Christopher Guest’s 2000 mockumentary comedy “Best in Show” continues to inspire imitations and invite comparisons to real documentaries like “Chicken People,” its blend of loosely improvised dialogue and absurdity is a difficult formula to re-create. That can be seen in Guest’s latest effort “Mascots,” currently streaming on Netflix.

“Best in Show” explored how people’s relationship to animals could be hilariously revealing, both silly and endearing. “Mascots” shows how devotion to corporate sports merchandising can be loud, crass and rather obvious.

O If watching “Chicken People” puts you in a mood for more documentaries, don’t miss the 1969 film “Salesman” (9:45 p.m., TCM), a haunting masterpiece of the art form.

Employing newly developed portable cameras and sound equipment, filmmakers follow four door-to-door Bible salesmen in Boston, Chicago and Miami.

O “Polar Bear Town” (7 p.m., Smithsonian) continues to document Churchill, Manitoba, home to migrating bears and throngs of tourists and photographers. Tonight: the intersection of man and nature puts a 9-month-old cub’s life in danger.

But as you’ve recognized, your current network is an invaluable starting point. Try spending some time, sans Josh, with a few of his friends you feel you have the most in common with. They in turn can introduce you to other friends and groups, until you’ve branched out into your own space.

Kansas guards lead the way

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Regardless of what head coach Bill Self wants or even what Kansas basketball fans expect, it would behoove those following the Jayhawks to embrace one reality sooner rather than later.

This Kansas team, at least through five games, appears as if it will go as Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Josh Jackson go on most nights. Luckily for the Jayhawks, that trio went very well on Tuesday during a latetip, 65-54 victory over Georgia in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic championship game at Sprint Center.

Mason, Jackson and Graham combined to score 48 of KU’s 65 points on 18-of-39 shooting from the floor. That same trio scored all but two of KU’s

35 first-half points on 12of-24 shooting from the floor.

After the final horn sounded, KU’s top guns were honored by the Sprint Center public address announcer for earning three of the five spots on the CBE Classic alltournament team.

Wearing their white CBE championship TShirts, Graham (14 points, 4 steals, 36 minutes), Mason (19 points, 3 steals, 37 minutes) and Jackson (15 points, 11 rebounds, 35 minutes) walked to mid-court to collect their individual hardware before being joined by their teammates to hoist the tournament trophy.

Jackson was named the tournament’s MVP, though you’d never know it from his slow stroll and humble smile.

“So much fun,” said

Don’t overlook Mason’s worth

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) DUNKS against Georgia’s > JAYHAWKS, 4C Mike Edwards.

Kansas City, Mo. — Basketball belongs to big men. Everybody knows that. It’s a big man’s game, except when it’s not.

The presence of two of college basketball’s best sub-6-footers Tuesday night in Sprint Center created the possibility of a sawed-off duel.

Kansas senior Frank Mason III, listed at 5-feet-11, 190 pounds, entered the night averaging 22.3 points, and came out of it having led his team in scoring in 4 of 5 games.

Georgia’s 5-10, 155-pound J.J. Frazier came in averaging 18.8 points.

The showdown never materialized for a couple of reasons. First, Georgia played mostly zone. Surprisingly, so did Kansas, playing it well enough to defeat Georgia, 65-54, and win the CBE Classic title in front of a pro-

Kansas crowd numbering 12,147.

When the Jayhawks played their customary man-to-man defense, Graham checked Frazier and shut him down.

Aside from not guarding each other, the battle never materialized because only one of the two, Mason, came up big, yet again.

Scoring from beyond the three-point arc, the free-throw line and on runners and hard drives to the hoop, Mason produced 19 points, five rebounds and three steals.

KU football to make punt-return change

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Sims

As second-year head coach David Beaty prepares to take his Kansas football team into Bill Snyder Family Stadium for the first time, he understands the precise execution it would take to pull off a Sunflower Showdown upset in a venue named for the Kansas State head coach whose meticulous nature always seems

to extract the most out of his players.

Mistakes won’t cut it on the road against the Wildcats (6-4 overall, 4-3 Big 12). With that in mind, the possibility of a special teams blunder inspired Beaty to make a change on KU’s punt return team. Junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez, who muffed a catch each of the past two weeks and has lost four fumbles on the season, is out. Beaty said either

sophomore receiver Steven Sims Jr. or senior safety Fish Smithson will field K-State junior Nick Walsh’s punts Saturday in Manhattan (11 a.m. kickoff, FOX Sports 1).

“We’ve got guys back there that we think are explosive enough,” Beaty said, “but you’ve gotta value possession. That’s the number one thing. So we’ve gotta possess it first, and then we’ll worry about running with it.”

The head coach, whose relationship with Gonzalez dates back to their time together at Texas A&M, still loves the receiver’s explosiveness as a play-maker (57 catches, 602 yards, two touchdowns), but the production simply hadn’t translated on punt returns. In general, Kansas (2-9, 1-7) tends to make fair catches or elect

COMMENTARY

After this abysmal season, can Texas still call itself a football state?

TWO-DAY SPORTS CALENDAR

Tainted Ramirez, Rodriguez on Hall ballot games to 50 because he sat out nearly all of the 2011 season.

Ramirez did not play in the majors again, although he did appear at Triple-A from 2012-14.

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, also tainted by steroids allegations, are on the ballot for the fifth time. After a change on voting eligibility rules eliminated some retired writers, Clemens rose to 45.2 percent and Bonds to 44.3 percent in last year’s voting.

Players remain on the ballot for up to 10 years, provided they receive at least 5 percent of the vote. Results will be announced Jan. 18.

Rodriguez was never disciplined for PEDs but former Texas teammate Jose Canseco alleged in a 2005 book that he injected the catcher with steroids. Asked whether he was on the list of players who allegedly tested positive for steroids during baseball’s 2003 survey, Rodriguez said in 2009: “Only God knows.”

A 12-time All-Star, Ramirez helped the Boston Red Sox win World Series titles in 2004 and ‘07, the first for the franchise since 1918. He hit .312 with 555 home runs and 1,831 RBIs in 19 big league seasons, and he was voted MVP of the 2004 Series.

Guerrero was a nine-time All-Star and the 2004 AL MVP with the Anaheim Angels. He hit .318 with 449 homers and 1,496 RBIs in 16 big league seasons.

Also among 19 newcomers on the ballot are Casey Blake, Pat Burrell, Orlando Cabrera, Mike Cameron, J.D. Drew, Carlos Guillen, Derrek Lee, Melvin Mora, Magglio Ordonez, Jorge Posada, Edgar Renteria, Arthur Rhodes, Freddy Sanchez, Matt Stairs, Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield.

Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza were elected last year, when Bagwell appeared on 315 of 440 ballots (71.6 percent).

Other holdovers include Tim Raines (69.8), Trevor Hoffman (67.3) and Curt Schilling (52.3) along with Edgar Martinez (43.4), Mike Mussina (43), Lee Smith (34.1), Fred McGriff (20.9), Jeff Kent (16.6), Larry Walker (15.5), Billy Wagner (10.5) and Sammy Sosa (7).

New York (ap) — Steroidstainted stars Manny Ramirez and Ivan Rodriguez are on baseball’s Hall of Fame ballot for the first time along with Vladimir Guerrero.

Jeff Bagwell is the top holdover on the 2017 Baseball Writers’ Association of America 34-player ballot announced Monday.

He fell 15 votes short of the required 75 percent in 2016 voting.

Kansas City, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs felt on top of the world a week ago, when they were coming off a narrow win at Carolina — mostly because they were suddenly on top of the AFC West.

They sure didn’t feel like that Sunday.

Their offense continued to fizzle in the red zone, where Alex Smith threw a crucial interception in the fourth quarter.

Their defense couldn’t get Tampa Bay off the field on third downs,

when Jameis Winston was able to repeatedly find Mike Evans and the rest of his wide receivers for first downs.

The result was a 19-17 setback that changes the complexion of the Chiefs’ entire season.

No longer are they fighting for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Now, they’re fighting to make the playoffs.

“It’s just one game.

We have to figure out what went wrong and move forward,” Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz said, trying to put things in perspective.

“It is an aberration, hope-

fully. It’s not the type of thing a really top-tier team would let happen to them.”

Yet it happened. And it happened on both sides of the ball.

So far this season, the Chiefs (7-3) have been able to bail out their defense by converting crucial plays on offense, while their defense has stood tall when the offense has been scuffling.

When both sides went haywire Sunday, the result was obvious: a loss.

“We have to execute the plays. That’s the cause. We stopped ourselves,” said running back

Spencer Ware, held to 69 yards rushing in another dismal effort. “We know what we need to fix and we’re going to continue to work on it as a team.”

That may be the biggest thing going for Kansas City as it tries to bounce back from its first loss since Oct. 2. There was no finger-pointing in an eerily quiet locker room, only resolve to fix the issues that have become the Chiefs’ biggest concern in the waning weeks of the regular season.

On offense, it’s the failure to score inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

Kansas City came up

empty on three trips two weeks ago at Carolina, and was converting touchdowns at a 40 percent clip heading into Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay. The Chiefs settled for a chip-shot field goal by Cairo Santos on their first trip, then Alex Smith threw an interception that spoiled their comeback.

It also set up Tampa Bay’s touchdown march that essentially sealed the victory.

“It’s hard when you get that far down there. The back line becomes another defender for them,” Schwartz said. “We need

to be able to stick to it and be able to execute the plays.”

The interception was on a play designed to be a quick pass to a slanting wide receiver, but Tampa Bay safety Chris Conte never bit on it. He was there when Smith released the pass, and coach Andy Reid said later the fault for the call rested on his shoulders.

“We were rolling there at that point,” Smith said.

“Had a good run on first down and we’re sitting there at second-and-goal, and you just can’t have it.

You can’t throw it. You’ve got to protect the play.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Indiana shocked by IPFW The Associated Press

Top 25 IPFW 71, No. 3 Indiana 68 Fort Wayne, Ind. — Bryson Scott scored 18 points and John Konchar made the go-ahead free throw with 1:19 left in overtime to give IPFW a stunning 71-68 upset over No. 3 Indiana on Tuesday night.

DeAngelo Stewart made two free throws with 2.9 seconds left to make it a three-point lead, and Konchar picked off the ensuing inbounds pass to seal the biggest win in school history.

Konchar had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Mastodons (3-2), who made the move to Division I in 2001-02, had lost all nine previous games against ranked teams and hadn’t even played a Top 25 opponent in nearly four years.

But on their home court, with crimson-and-cream clad fans all around, IPFW pulled off the biggest stunner of this early college basketball season in style. The Mastodons trailed for only 90 seconds.

Shot making After shooting below 36 percent from the field in its first two games of the season, Kansas was finally able to get shots to fall Sunday afternoon in its 68-58 road win over Memphis. The Jayhawks shot 45 percent from the field, which is their fifth best shooting percentage under coach Brandon Schneider.

The Jayhawks also made 10 three-pointers, and shot 48 percent from beyond the arc, which is the best shooting percentage and most threepointers made in a game in the Schneider era.

Career days Since eight Kansas players were ejected in the second quarter on Sunday afternoon, the six players available to Schneider were forced to play extended minutes. As a result, junior guard Chayla Cheadle, as well as sophomore guards Kylee Kopatich and McKenzie Calvert, all had career days. Calvert tied her career-high of 21 points, Cheadle scored a careerhigh 22 points and Kopatich had a career-high 16 points.

Calvert has now scored in double figures in each of the Jayhawks’ first three games, while Sunday marked the first time Kopatich and Cheadle scored in double figures this season.

Streaking After only scoring three points on 1-of-5 shoot-

not to return punts. The Jayhawks only have returned seven of their opponents’ 56 boots on the season. Gonzalez has returned six of those, and even taking into account a season-best 17-yard return Week 1 against Rhode Island, the 5-foot10 junior has accumulated a net of -10 yards. Junior Derrick Neal took KU’s only other shot at a return, but gained no yardage.

Beaty admitted his disappointment in KU’s punt returns — or lack thereof — Tuesday at his weekly news conference.

“We haven’t really had any return game to speak of since that Ohio game (Week 2), and that’s not OK,” Beaty said. “We can’t do that, so we’re going to have to continue to work to find explosive returners, because (Kansas State) is a great example of it. I mean, these guys, they’ve got me so worried about their return game, it’s gonna steal away from other things that you have to put your time on, because

ing in 43 minutes in the Jayhawks’ first two games, Cheadle was forced into 37 minutes on Sunday with the Jayhawks missing eight players. She responded by playing her best game as a Jayhawk, scoring a career-high 21 points to go along with eight rebounds, one assist and one block on 8-of-12 shooting and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.

Calvert has now scored in double figures in all three of the Jayhawks’ games.

Slumping Even though she only played five minutes on Sunday, senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen struggled in her limited action. Along with missing her only field goal attempt, Manning-Allen had five turnovers. She was the Jayhawks’ third leading scorer last season at 6.7 points per game, but she’s scored just seven points in three games, and is averaging just 2.3 points per game so far this season.

Probable starters KANSAS (1-2) G — Jessica Washington, 5-8, jr.

there’s only so much time in the day.”

To the coach’s point, KU’s punt return average of -1.43 ranks 128th (dead last) in the FBS. Wildcats sophomore Dominique Heath averages 14.2 yards per return, helping his team’s status as 15th-best nationally (11.8 yards a return).

Sims, KU’s leading receiver — 67 receptions, 818 yards, seven touchdowns — wants to help turn a special teams negative into a positive.

“I’m comfortable, very comfortable,” Sims said of returning punts. “I’ve been practicing all year, so I feel I’m ready to go.”

Sims knew Kansas hadn’t done much on that front, but didn’t recall the exact numbers until hearing them: seven returns, -10 yards.

“Negative 10?” Sims repeated. “It’s not good.”

Even so, Sims never has doubted Gonzalez’s ability. When his fellow receiver has dealt with turnovers, Sims said he always reminds him to have a short-term memory.

“Let it go,” is the key message of such conversations. “We need you to make a big play, bro.”

KANSAS 65, GEORGIA 54

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) FLOATS A SHOT OVER GEORGIA FORWARD DEREK OGBEIDE (34) during the first half of Tuesday’s championship game of the CBE Classic at Sprint Center.

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Jackson, when asked what playing with Graham and Mason had been like thus far. “They make the game so much easier. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I’m able to take plays off because I know those guys, I trust ’em so much to score.”

Sophomore guard Lagerald Vick was the only other Jayhawk to score in the first half, which made sense given that he was the player who spent the most time playing with KU’s triumphant trio in this one.

Vick finished with nine points and eight rebounds on a night when KU’s big men again struggled to produce and stay on the floor. That made KU’s four-guard lineup even more important.

“If we didn’t have Frank and Devonte’ and Josh, that would’ve been a pretty lopsided loss,” Self said, stating the obvious.

Although the scoring punch provided by KU’s top trio did not at all eliminate the continuing struggles of KU’s big men, it did prevent the Jayhawks from falling victim to those struggles.

But not immediately.

After jumping out to leads of 17-0 and 25-3 in the same building in a 20-point win over UAB one night earlier, the Jayhawks (4-1) started a little sluggish in this one. Georgia (3-2) was quicker to the glass on both ends when shots missed and made 5 of 9 to open the game and a 10-5 lead.

Soon thereafter, Kansas found its form on the defensive end and that led to several transition opportunities and easy buckets for the Jayhawks, who hit UGA with a 13-4 run to take a 15-12 lead at the Under-12 timeout.

To that point, Jackson and Mason accounted for all of KU’s points, often times perfectly setting up each other for easy points at or near the rim.

As he hinted at Monday night, Self went to freshman center Udoka Azubuike early on Tuesday, subbing the 7-footer in for Landen Lucas at the 16:35 mark of the first half.

During his first three minutes on the floor, Azubuike made the move look good, blocking a mid-range jumper and barreling into the Kan-

sas bench to try to save the swat. Seconds later, however, Azubuike, who finished the game having played just five minutes total — mostly, Self said, because he had very little experience with playing zone defense — joined Lucas in picking up his second foul and both big men went to the bench, leaving Carlton Bragg Jr. (3 points in 10 minutes) and Jackson to man the Kansas frontcourt.

Both teams spent good portions of the game playing zone defenses, as foul trouble again plagued the Jayhawks in the first half.

“For pride, we’d probably rather play man,” Jackson admitted. “But to win the game, we had to go zone and it worked.”

Added Mason of KU’s 2-3 zone: “It worked pretty well for us. Hopefully we don’t have to play zone again. We take pride in our man-to-man.”

minutes, what Lucas, Azubuike and Bragg did combined.

The junior from the Bahamas finished with two points, four rebounds, four blocks and an assist.

The other three? Three points, four rebounds, one block and one assist in a combined 25 minutes.

“He did great,” Mason said of Coleby. “We’re all happy for him and hopefully he can get in the rotation more going forward.”

Added Self, asked what went wrong for his starting frontcourt on Tuesday night. “Everything.

Dwight was by far the best big we had and he had two points and four rebounds. They’re just not playing very well and not playing very smart.

They’re good kids and they want to do well, but, for whatever reasons, they both have really struggled.”

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) bounces off of Georgia guard Juwan Parker for a shot.

The first six fouls called on Kansas went against the Jayhawks’ first three big men, with Lucas picking up two fouls 32 seconds apart and watching from the bench as Azubuike quickly followed with two of his own just 43 seconds apart. Not to be outdone, Bragg got his second on a sloppy over-the-back call on an offensive rebound he had no shot at getting.

That forced KU coach Bill Self to turn to junior Dwight Coleby for a little size to match the Bulldogs’ beef, and the Bahamas native gave Kansas nine good minutes to end the first half.

Get this. Before fouling out with three minutes to play, Coleby basically matched, in 20

Self said after last Friday’s home-opening win over Siena that he was looking forward to Wednesday because it will mark the end — at least temporarily — of one heck of a hectic stretch to open the season.

When he wakes up today, Wednesday will have arrived and the rest of the season will be in front of him, with three of the most talented players in the country leading the way.

“We’re 4-1 and we’re fortunate to be that,” Self said.

“We need to go home. We play on Friday, obviously, and can catch our breath maybe after that. I think if anything our guys are mentally fatigued as much as anything.”

It wasn’t his tidiest game.

He turned it over five times. Frazier finished with two points and made just 1 of 10 shots.

It’s a good thing KU’s smallest player is off to such a big start because the biggest Jayhawks haven’t yet figured out how to stay out of foul trouble, rebound consistently or finish through contact.

For the first 29 minutes of the game, KU bigs Landen Lucas, Carlton Bragg Jr., Udoka Azubuike and Dwight Coleby had played a combined for 36 minutes without a point.

Not only that, to that point they had totaled more personal fouls (10) than rebounds (seven, four from Coleby).

Tournament MVP Josh Jackson and all-tourney selection Mason did a nice job of compensating for the absence of bigs by doing some of their dirty work for them. One of Mason’s more impressive contributions came with Kansas up 16 points more than midway through the second half. He raced to the block and soared to deflect a post pass, chased down the ball in the corner before it went out of bounds and managed to keep balance well enough to arc an ontarget pass to Graham in the frontcourt.

There used to be an award for the best college

basketball player who measured 6-feet or smaller.

It last was given in 2014 and as far as I know, nothing replaced it. It should be brought back, considering only sub-6-footers and be named after former Niagara great Calvin Murphy, the greatest small man ever. Murphy, of course, was overlooked in the NBA draft, falling out of the first round, because little men get the Rodney Dangerfield treatment. The 5-9 superstar who was born 5/9/1948 went on to score 17,949 points, averaging 17.9 points throughout his 13-year Houston Rockets career.

Mason’s not Murphy, but the fact Calvin, a national-champion baton twirler as a teenager, was overlooked so badly in the draft after averaging 33.1 points for his college career and torching Syracuse for 68 points should teach current NBA general managers to give a much longer look than Mason’s short frame and reach tricks their minds into thinking he deserves.

Maybe it’s just as well the Calvin Murphy Award doesn’t exist. It would supply an out for those not willing to consider a 5-11 player for player of the year honors, for which Mason is in the midst of building a strong case.

“Frank’s got a lot of heart,” Jackson said. “His ability for a guy his size, I’ve never seen a guy be able to finish as well as he has.”

That happened to be Murphy’s most remarkable quality as well.

KANSAS FORWARD DWIGHT COLEBY (22) LOOKS TO TAKE THE BALL TO THE BUCKET AGAINST GEORGIA FORWARD HOUSTON KESSLER (24) during the first half of the championship game of the CBE Classic on Tuesday at Sprint Center.

NOTEBOOK

Coleby plays first significant minutes

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Junior forward Dwight Coleby played his first significant stretch of minutes for the Kansas men’s basketball team during Tuesday’s 65-54 victory over Georgia in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic championship game at Sprint Center.

Entering for the first time with 8:39 remaining in the first half, Coleby logged nine first-half minutes and finished that stretch with two rebounds and two blocks while helping navigate Kansas through foul trouble to its top trio of big men, Landen Lucas, Carlton Bragg and Udoka Azubuike.

His performance was far from flawless, but he avoided bad fouls — even though he, too, had two at the break — and helped Kansas take a 35-25 lead into the locker room at halftime.

An easy second-half bucket made Coleby the first non-guard to score a point for the Jayhawks (4-1) during Tuesday’s victory.

After electing to start the second half with starters Lucas and Bragg back in the Kansas frontcourt, KU coach Bill Self quickly returned to Coleby at the 19:15 mark of the second half after Lucas carelessly picked up foul No. 3.

For the game, the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Coleby finished with two points, four rebounds, four blocks and an assist in 20 minutes.

Perhaps more importantly for him, he appears to have moved ahead of freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot in KU’s big man rotation.

Coleby received a loud round of applause from the Sprint Center crowd the first two times he checked out of the game after entering unexpectedly.

NBA Roundup The Associated Press

Pelicans 112, Hawks 94 Atlanta — Tim Frazier had 21 points and 14 assists, Terrence Jones added 17 points and New Orleans won its third straight game with a victory over Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Pelicans forward Anthony Davis returned to begin the fourth quarter after bruising his right knee and missing the second and third periods. Davis, a three-time All-Star and the NBA’s leading scorer, finished with 13 points.

New Orleans led by 20 at the end of the first quarter and never let up.

Dennis Schroder and Kyle Korver each scored 14 for the Hawks, who have lost three in a row.

Atlanta was tied for the Eastern Conference lead last week but now begins a five-game road trip playing its worst basketball of the young season.

The Pelicans have won five of seven and are 3-0 since Jrue Holiday returned after missing the first 12 games to be with his sick wife. Holiday had 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.

X-rays were negative on Davis, who banged his leg against a chair while chasing the ball out of bounds. He lunged into the fourth row of chairs near the Atlanta bench and came up limping.

Davis walked slowly off the floor and into the locker room, but seemed to move with ease when he came back in the fourth.

Texas CONTINUED FROM 2C

Even an offense built around Texas’ best running back in years couldn’t avoid controversy. If Strong wasn’t taking the ball out of his best player’s hands in the 18 wheeler package, a concept that outlived its expiration date, he was giving it to him 51 times against Kansas. Ought to be an NCAA violation.

Based almost entirely on his brief but fabulous track record as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and Houston’s coach, the odds seem promising that Herman figures out most of the

Carmelo Anthony finished with 17 points despite a scoreless fourth quarter for the Knicks, who won their fifth straight at home. Brandon Jennings had 11 assists off the bench.

Frankly, it’s about time. The state, as well as the Big 12, could certainly use 10 wins from its most storied football program.

History says we’ve had worse college seasons in the Lone Star State, but it’s hard to tell by appearances. Last time the state managed only one team in the final Associated Press rankings was 2001, when Texas finished fifth. Chances are the state only gets one this time, and it won’t be a top 10, either. Houston is 18th and Texas A&M 22nd. If the Aggies lose this week to LSU, which is the trend, odds are good they’ll drop out of

The Nuggets used a 22-0 run at the start of the second quarter to take a 41-31 lead. Murray had 15 of his 17 first half points in the period and Wilson Chandler scored 12 of his 16 in the second quarter.

The game was tied when Barton was fouled on a drive to the basket, and he hit two free throws left to give Denver a 109-107 lead. Isaiah Cannon shot an airball on a 3-point attempt and the Nuggets got the ball.

the final rankings altogether.

Only two weeks ago, the Aggies were College Football Playoff contenders. Now they’re on the verge of completing yet another second-half collapse with a team that had looked like Sumlin’s best yet.

Sumlin’s not in danger of getting fired — he’s reportedly owed a lumpsum payment of $15 million if terminated — but it’s safe to say he’s used up nearly all of his available grace.

His boss, Scott Woodward, must decide if he’s underachieved since Johnny Football moved on, or is this just the cost of doing business in the SEC West?

Bragging rights to the

best league in college football are nice, but it doesn’t make November go down any easier.

If it’s any consolation to Sumlin, the future’s far brighter in College Station than in Waco or Lubbock. Baylor’s next coach will have to pull a recruiting class out of the dumpster and put a scandal behind it. Kingsbury’s defense just gave up 66 points to Iowa State. If Patrick Mahomes turns pro, Kingsbury will no longer have one of college football’s most talented quarterbacks to keep it close.

Lord, these are times to shake your faith in the natural order of things.

If it weren’t for Dak, I might have moved on to basketball already.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup sliced shallot (about 2 large shallots) 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 2 teaspoons flour 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, divided 4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (”light cream cheese”) 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard pinch ground nutmeg pinch ground black pepper 1 cup cooked white beans, drained and rinsed if canned Directions: Cook the shallot and sage in the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, until shallots are soft (but not brown), about 5

minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Deglaze the pan with the wine, and let bubble for a minute to let the alcohol evaporate. Add 1/4 cup of the broth and stir. Add the Neufchatel cheese and stir as it melts and creates a thick, creamy mixture, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the gruyere cheese and turn off the heat — it will melt with the residual heat. Let mixture cool a few minutes.

Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/4 cup broth, lemon juice, dried mustard, nutmeg, pepper and beans in a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. (If bean mixture is too thick to blend, add a tablespoon of water.)

Scrape the cream cheese mixture into the blender and blend all together until very creamy, about 30 seconds.

Serve warm, room temperature or cold.

Making salted caramel sauce is easier than you think

By Katie Workman Associated Press

“Salted” and “caramel” are two words that make many people get misty in the eyes and weak in the knees.

You can buy lovely salted caramel in the stores to drizzle over ice cream, cake, pie or just your tongue, but you can also make it easily at home, and for a lot less money. Do share the wealth — what a great holiday gift this makes.

How easy is it? There is no need for a thermometer, no special equipment, no difficult techniques. The thing to pay attention to is how fast the sugar mixture is browning. Resist the urge to wander away and clean out the vegetable bin, because

Katie Workman/AP Photo

the caramel will turn from pale to golden to dark to “oh no, what’s that smell?” very quickly. A lighter color will produce a more delicate caramel sauce, while a richer golden brown will produce a more pronounced caramel

flavor. And have that cream warmed and ready to go — seconds make a difference.

When you add the cream to the pot, it will sputter and bubble quite a bit, so use a bigger pot than you think you need; it will shortly settle back down, but the last thing you want is hot caramel bubbling over onto your stove.

Some caramel recipes call for a pastry brush to brush down the sides of the pot while the sugar is caramelizing. I think nah, not necessary.

Also, it’s hard not to keep stirring the sugar melted with the water, but you have to trust in the caramelization process.

Stirring makes the mixture grainy, whereas leaving it alone will let the sugar gently brown and prevent crystals

from forming. Counterintuitive, but true.

Salted Caramel Sauce Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 1 1/2 cups, roughly 12 servings Ingredients: 1 cup heavy cream, warmed 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon kosher salt Directions: In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water and turn the heat to medium high. Stir just until the sugar is dissolved and then stop stirring completely.

Lawrence Restaurant Call Specials 832-2222 to Advertise

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. DO NOT STIR the mixture; even if it looks a little grainy, that’s just the sugar doing its thing. Boil for 6 to 7 minutes until the mixture has turned golden brown and starts to smell like caramel; make sure it doesn’t get too dark or start to burn.

When the mixture is a deep golden brown, turn the heat down to medium and stir as you slowly add the warmed cream. The mixture will bubble up vigorously (this is why you are using a large pot!).

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter until it is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt.

Cool the mixture to room temperature and then use right away, or transfer to a glass jar or two with a tight seal. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
