Downing, who teaches kindergarten, treats every child as her own, one Langston Hughes parent wrote in praise of the “momma bear” educator who on Friday was named the 2016-2017 Lawrence Master Teacher

The award, which recognizes one

outstanding teacher from the Lawrence district each year, was presented to Downing — along with a $2,500 check from Truity Credit Union — in a surprise ceremony that morning in the Langston Hughes gym.

Wichita — The state violated the rights of a convicted sex offender by holding him in jail for years without a trial under the claim that he was a sexually violent predator subject to involuntary civil commitment, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled Friday.

BRIEFLY Manhattan High to keep Indian mascot Manhattan (ap) — Manhattan High School is keeping its Indians mascot for now.

The Manhattan-Ogden school board unanimously voted Wednesday to create a committee to study several issues as part of a compromise in which the mascot was retained.

The Manhattan Mercury reports that issues the committee will study include determining the cost of retiring the Indian mascot and exploring the creation of a new mascot. The committee also would look for ways to educate the community about Native Americans and recognize a former coach whom the mascot is meant to honor. The coach, named Frank Prentup, was a descendant of the Tuscarora tribe.

Members of the committee will include those seeking to change the mascot and keep it the same, as well as students, teachers and administrators.

Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The Supreme Court found that the state violated Ellison’s due process rights to a speedy trial after he remained jailed for 1,705 days awaiting trial.

Ellison’s attorney, Michael Whalen, said his client was relieved. He said the decision also puts the Kansas attorney general’s office on notice that such cases need to be a priority and move more quickly through the courts.

The attorney general’s office released a statement Friday saying it has taken steps in recent years to speed up such cases and to better document delays caused by defense attorneys’ requests.

“We will redouble our efforts to move these cases to trial,” said Jennifer Montgomery, spokeswoman for Attorney General Derek Schmidt. She added later that the office didn’t anticipate further legal action at this time.

Teacher CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Hayden, joined by district officials and seemingly the entire school, spoke Friday of Downing’s commitment to her students, or her “kinderstars,” as Langston Hughes parent Jessi Ward wrote in her nomination of the veteran teacher.

Ward’s son returned home one day in his first week of school last year, she wrote, and excitedly told his mother about his new teacher’s glass-half-full approach to learning and life.

It’s OK to make mistakes, Downing told her students, “because that means you only learn and get better from them,” Ward recalled in her nomination.

“I was honestly amazed he retained that information and blown away by how powerful that message really is,” Ward wrote. “Our whole school life we are constantly trying to achieve goals and the pressure is always there to perform our best. But that one sentence will forever change my outlook and expectation that I have for my own children, and I know that has motivated my son to not give up where there

Bragg CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Carlton and I have spoken,” Self said. “He certainly understands the circumstances surrounding this issue. We are taking this charge very seriously; we’re going to hold him out from competition as we continue to gather facts.”

Bragg was charged in Douglas County District Court with one count of battery, a misdemeanor, according to the District Attorney’s Office. He pleaded not guilty Friday afternoon, appearing in court via video from the Douglas County Jail.

Bragg’s bond was set at $500, and he was released from jail later that afternoon. As a condition of his release, Bragg is to have no contact with the alleged victim in the case.

Bragg’s attorney, Hatem Chahine, said Bragg had no criminal history and would cooperate with the court process.

“I assure you he wants to get this resolved,” Chahine said.

Chahine said in court and reiterated to reporters after the hearing that Bragg has no desire to contact the alleged victim.

“

Since the (involuntary commitment) program was established in 1995, 29 have died while only four people have actually gotten out of the program.”

— Michael Whalen, attorney for inmate Todd Ellison

The Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act allows the state in some cases to involuntarily commit sex offenders for additional treatment after they serve their prison sentence. But an individual is entitled to a jury trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt whether they are violent predators.

Such trials are civil cases litigated by the attorney general’s office, and can result in a sex offender being held in state custody for years beyond their original prison sentence. Most who have been committed have not been released.

“This is a big thing,” Whalen said. “They are life sentences. Since the program was established in 1995, 29 have died while only four people have actually gotten out

of the program.”

Online court records show Ellison was sentenced in 2003 to more than eight years in prison on a charge of sexual exploitation of a child.

It’s unclear if that case was the basis of the civil commitment petition that the state filed against him in 2009, while he was still in prison.

He was confined on the commitment claim at the Sedgwick County Detention Center until Burgess ordered his release in March 2014.

Ellison has since moved to Denver, where he has been working, has his own place and is “doing quite well,” Whalen said.

Kansas typically files about 20 sexually violent predator commitment cases a year, Whalen said, estimating that

the state has about 60 pending cases that have been filed over the past three years. He said once the government has filed a commitment petition, the average case takes between two and three years to get to trial.

Whalen said delays are partly due to the fact that only one or two assistant attorneys general handle such cases statewide, and they are not pushed forward very quickly. A state Supreme Court decision in 2012 changed the way the cases are handled by defense attorneys, requiring that people facing civil commitments have competent counsel, which has caused more delays.

The justices faulted both sides in Ellison’s case for continuances that delayed his trial.

While noting there was “no evidence of any improper motive” lurking behind the delays, the court determined that the state had an obligation to bring the case to trial.

“It cannot fulfill that obligation by remaining passive year after year,” the justices wrote.

On Friday morning, surrounded by her Langston Hughes colleagues and students, Downing expressed gratitude for the Master Teacher award — especially, she said, to the many parents and countless kids who “have become a part of my life” over the years.

“My family is so supportive because … they know that you are who I am, and I spend so much time here, talking about you and doing what I can that’s best for you, and collaborate to make sure that we do that,” — Leslie Downing, Lawrence Master Downing told the crowd of Teacher honoree smiling students at the assembly.

“Just everybody — very surprised, but very thankful,” is an obstacle.” she added. “So, I appreciate all Ward also praised Downing’s use of social media — the of you.”

“He has no problems with following the nocontact order in this case,” Chahine said.

Chahine is a partner with the Fletcher, Rohrbaugh & Chahine law firm, with offices in Lawrence and Olathe.

He said he took the case Friday and declined to answer who reached out to him or elaborate more on the battery allegations.

Bragg’s charges stemmed from a 911 call placed about 1 a.m. Friday, according to an announcement from District Attorney Charles Branson.

Lawrence police responded, and the caller told officers that her boyfriend struck her and pushed her down stairs during an argument in the 1000 block of Emery Road, Branson said. That area of Emery Road, near the KU campus, is home to several apartment buildings and fraternity and sorority houses.

Bragg was suspected of using alcohol and

L awrence J ournal -W orld

drugs, according to the front page of the Lawrence Police Department’s report. The report indicated that the victim’s injuries were not severe.

The victim is a KU student, according to the university directory.

Battery is knowingly or recklessly causing bodily harm to another person, or causing physical contact with another person in a rude, insulting or angry manner, according to the Kansas statute.

The crime is punishable by a fine or jail time up to six months.

Bragg was booked into jail about 6 a.m. Friday, initially on suspicion of domestic battery, according to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office records.

However, Branson noted that the relationship between Bragg and the victim did not meet the statutory requirements for domestic battery.

Under the state’s domestic battery statute,

Among the claims of the lawsuit is that Fritzel deliberately defrauded the city and engaged in “a pattern of racketeering activity involving wire and mail fraud.” The lawsuit alleges that Oread Wholesale was created explicitly to generate a false paper trail for purchases fraudulently given a sales tax rebate from the city.

The federal crime of racketeering covers a wide range of illegal activities done to make money. It was established under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act of 1970 as a means to combat organized crime.

Fritzel has three weeks from the date he was served the lawsuit to file a response, but an extension for up to two weeks can be requested. A response or extension request would need to be filed by mid-December.

Attorneys representing both parties in the lawsuit did not immediately return calls Friday to comment on the case’s change.

a girlfriend would only qualify if she and the suspect lived together, had lived together in the past, had a child together or if she was pregnant and the suspect was alleged to be the father.

Separate from criminal proceedings, Bragg could face discipline by KU if he were found to have violated university rules.

Leaders from the KU police department and KU student affairs department were seen entering the district attorney’s office shortly before Bragg’s hearing on Friday, but they were not present in the courtroom. KU public affairs representatives did not respond Friday to a Journal-World inquiry asking whether university officials were investigating the incident.

However, according to KU’s Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, intimate partner violence violates the code, and students found responsible for it could be subject to discipline whether the violence occurred on campus or off.

KU has jurisdiction to investigate and adjudicate such complaints if they involve two students and the alleged violence affects one’s on-campus safety, according to the code.

KU also considers dating or intimate partner violence a form of

sexual harassment under Federal Title IX and related federal rules, according to the university’s sexual harassment and sexual violence procedure document. Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in education and requires universities to investigate and adjudicate reports of sexual harassment and sexual violence on their campuses.

In such cases, university investigators determine responsibility for violations based on a preponderance of the evidence, meaning allegations are more likely than not to have occurred. Courts of law convict when a suspect is determined to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Bragg’s next court appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Dec. 27.

Campaign staffers, reporters share thoughts on election

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Campaign staffers, journalists and pollsters who worked in the 2016 presidential campaign generally agreed Friday that none of the normal rules of politics

seemed to be relevant, and that Donald Trump’s surprise victory defied most normal expectations.

At a post-election conference held at the Dole Institute of Politics on the University of Kansas campus, people from Donald Trump and Hillary

Clinton’s campaign said that in 2016, fundraising and campaign advertising did not have the same effect that they’ve had in the past, and even the public’s reaction to controversies that arose during the campaign were not what they had expected.

“Everything that says this was an unconventional, different campaign, absolutely true,” said John McLaughlin, a pollster for the Trump campaign. “It was a historic race, very unique situation. You had a very successful businessman whose specialty

Election CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Michael Glassner, deputy campaign manager for Trump, said Trump’s ability to use Twitter and other social media to speak directly to his supporters may have changed the way campaign communications are conducted from now on.

“If candidates can communicate with 40 million people directly, without the filters of the media or anything else, I think that changes the whole dynamic,” he said.

“President Obama did it extremely effectively in 2008, and I think it’s gone up by many increments since then, and I think it will continue to do that.”

Sasha Issenberg, a contributor for Bloomberg Politics, said Trump’s own position as an independently wealthy man who was not a professional politician made it possible for him to do things that traditional candidates never would.

assumed, and may still be assumed by many of us up here, that he was running his only campaign for public office ever, that he wasn’t thinking about what he would do after he won or he lost, that he wasn’t thinking about what he would do when he went back to the Senate, or had to run again for his old Senate seat or wanted to position himself so he could be in somebody else’s cabinet,” Issenberg said. “All these considerations hem in the range of possible things that a candidate can do every day.”

Alex Burns, political correspondent for the New York Times, called Trump “the ultimate analog candidate.”

“This is not a guy who’s incredibly sophisticated personally about technology or about communication,” Burns said. “He is like the bluntest blunt instrument. And I don’t say that critically. This is the guy who understood the enduring power of broadcast television, which is like so 1996.”

Was that WikiLeaks? Was that normal tightening?

But in the end, we ended up being anywhere from five to two points off our projection in almost all the battlegrounds.”

McLaughlin of the Trump campaign agreed that the Comey letter was a critical factor in the final days. He said Trump had been gaining ground in the week leading up to that event, in part due to allegations of corruption with the Clinton Foundation that were spread by WikiLeaks.

“The base of Trump voters didn’t seem to care about things he said that might have seemed outrageous,” Glassner said. “As a matter of fact, I think the reaction from the media to things he said actually emboldened and sort of empowered his base of people because they hold the media in even lower esteem than they did Congress and politicians and the system they felt was rigged against them.”

barrage of negative stories about her emails and an ill-considered comment when she referred to Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”

But the “straw that broke the camel’s back,” she said, came in late October, just days before the election, when FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress saying the agency was reopening the email investigation after more emails were found on a laptop computer belonging to one of her aides.

Girl’s recovery investigated as Kapaun miracle

By Roy Wenzl The Wichita Eagle

Wichita (ap) — After nurses helped save Avery Gerleman’s life 10 years ago, she vowed to become a nurse like them.

She’s almost there: Gerleman is scheduled to get pinned as a licensed practical nurse on Dec. 20.

But the latest twist in her story? Erin Hageman and other nurses who helped save her at Wesley Medical Center have coached and encouraged her while she works as a nursing assistant at Wesley.

She works at times in the same pediatric intensive care unit where her nurse friends cared for her as a patient.

“It’s awesome to work with them,” Gerleman told the Wichita Eagle. “Sometimes when a patient has a problem, they’ll look at it and say, ‘Yeah, you had that, too.’”

It’s the latest turn in a story that has been told as far away as the Vatican in Rome.

The Vatican and the Catholic diocese in Wichita are investigating her survival as an “alleged miracle” made possible by the intercession in heaven of a long-dead Korean War hero, Father Emil Kapaun.

The Vatican is considering Kapaun for sainthood but wants to first find verifiable miracles attributed to him.

“I am glad I am alive,” said Gerleman, 23. “And I am glad I have been working with the nurses who took care of me.”

Gerleman recovered so completely, including from severe lung damage, that she played soccer for Hutchinson Community College. She also planned to run a 13-mile half-marathon for a cancer fundraiser in Memphis.

“I didn’t train nearly enough, I’ve been so busy,” she said. “So this could really hurt.”

It’s nothing compared

with what she endured as a child.

No one at Wesley in 2006 thought Gerleman would survive after she began coughing up blood at a soccer game and her parents took her to Wesley.

Doctors said she had a catastrophic auto-immune disorder that was destroying her internal organs.

“She was so critical all the time that we thought on many nights that we were going to lose her,” said Hageman, who has been a registered nurse in Wesley Children’s Hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit for 11 years.

“She got put on a ventilator and on dialysis, and there were nights when it took two of us full time to take care of her.”

Doctors put Gerleman into a drug-induced coma.

Her lungs filled with blood.

Her kidneys shut down.

Her heart nearly stopped beating.

Doctors thought she would die and told her parents that. Their daughter was 12.

She lay near death for 86 days, with her parents, Melissa and Shawn Gerleman, nearly always beside her. Devout Catholics, they prayed at her bedside to Jesus and to Kapaun, a priest and U.S. Army chaplain from Kansas who had been dead for 55 years.

On some nights, Hageman, also Catholic, prayed with Shawn and Melissa Gerleman.

Two of the doctors caring for her, Lindall Smith and Michelle Stuart Hilgenfeld, both Protestants, said later that what happened next was the most mysterious medical recovery they have ever seen.

After 86 days, most of it spent in a coma, Avery began to get better.

Smith and Stuart Hilgenfeld told a Vatican investigator they believed her survival was a miracle. One of the inexplicable things they saw, they told the Vatican official, was that she should have had severe scarring

damage to her lungs and kidneys. But scans done on her body shortly before she was discharged showed no damage.

They said this was like peering into a building after it burned — and seeing no burn marks on the walls.

It did not make sense.

Those same doctors also told her that if she survived, she would need to breathe oxygen from a tank for the rest of her life.

But six months after Avery walked out of Wesley, she was playing competitive soccer again.

Hageman says that when Gerleman began working at Wesley, she and other nurses who had taken care of her years before all welcomed her happily.

They teased her, too.

“We told her that while she was out (in a coma), we snuck in at night, dressed her up and put makeup all over her,” Hageman said.

“We didn’t actually do that, but it was fun to tell her we did.”

Gerleman said she had only a dim understanding before she got sick about who Kapaun was. But she has since learned more.

Catholics in Kansas pray often to him for help. He was a Kansas farmer’s son from Pilsen who joined the priesthood, then joined the Army as a chaplain in World War II. In the Korean War, he earned the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award, for acts of bravery on Korean War

battlefields. Kapaun and many of his regiment’s soldiers were captured in 1950. He died of starvation and disease in a prisoner of war camp in May 1951.

The Vatican has maintained files on him since then and has investigated his life to determine whether to name him a saint.

Bishop Carl Kemme, the head of the Wichita Diocese, went to the Vatican last year and spoke about Gerleman’s survival and other “alleged miracle” evidence involving Kapaun with Cardinal Angelo Amato, the Vatican official heading Kapaun’s sainthood investigation.

Gerleman earned her LPN license at Wichita Area Technical College.

She plans to attend either Hutchinson Community College or Butler Community College to obtain her registered nurse license.

Newly minted nurses are given the right to dedicate their nursing pins to someone.

“All the nurses and others who took care of me, they inspired me,” she said. “I can’t name them all at the pinning.”

But she wanted to name them here: Besides Hageman, Smith and Stuart-Hilgenfeld, there was Chris Durham, Tomas Hernandez, Jennifer Goeken, Sally Phillips and Marla Porch.

“There were a lot more.”

When Gerleman gets her nursing pin on Dec. 20, she will dedicate it to all of them.

You often say; I would give, but only to the deserving.

The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.

Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and nights is worthy of all else from you.

And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.

See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.

For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, is but a witness.

Legislating must be taken seriously This past Monday, Kansas legislators elected their leaders for 2017-18. We should all wish them good luck, because they will need it.

Leadership elections are inside baseball contests, shrouded in secrecy, but the results often offer indications of how the upcoming Legislature will operate.

In the Senate, two results stand out. First is Susan Wagle’s, R-Wichita, solid (23-7) victory over Andover’s Ty Masterson, giving her four more years as Senate president and demonstrating her strength within both the GOP caucus and the entire chamber. Second is the selection of Jeff Longbine, R-Emporia, as Senate vice president and Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, as majority leader.

Longbine’s moderation and Denning’s reality-based conservatism should be real assets in moving the chamber toward effective policies.

In the House, Ron Ryckman Jr.’s, R-Olathe, convincing 5827 win over moderate Russ Jennings, R-Lakin, provides some evidence for continuing conservative strength among Republicans. But more significant, perhaps, was the 44-41 victory by prominent moderate Don Hineman, R-Dighton, to become majority leader.

This was probably a more ac-

Burdett Loomis

“

Deliberation and compromise haven’t been necessary in recent years, given the overwhelming GOP majorities in Topeka.”

curate test of the moderateconservative balance in the GOP caucus, although that will shift from issue to issue.

Finally, in a battle of Democratic veterans, Wichita Representative Jim Ward narrowly unseated Kansas City’s Tom Burroughs, signaling a desire of the now-40 minority members to provide more aggressive and forceful opposition. Still, with enhanced numbers, Democrats can productively engage in writing laws, and Ward will need to act accordingly.

Along with returning Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, these indi-

viduals have their work cut out for them.

The Legislature’s many challenges stem directly from the disastrous taxation policies enacted in 2012. Indeed, searching for spending cuts and revenue enhancements (the polite term for “more taxes”) to address almost a billion dollars in shortfalls is a beyond-daunting task, made potentially more difficult by an impending Supreme Court school finance ruling.

Making this job especially tough is that for the past six years the regular legislative process has largely been abandoned in Topeka. Rather, both chambers have operated under the control of a closed-minded, far-right majority that simply saw no need for the open, ordered deliberation that can produce well-considered legislation.

Committee hearings dwindled in number and importance, while legislative leaders and committee chairs pushed forward legislation without adequate (or sometimes any) discussion.

In short, deliberation and compromise haven’t been necessary in recent years, given the overwhelming GOP majorities in Topeka. Exhibit A, of course, is the 2012 tax cut legislation, which the governor admitted was imperfect, even as

he signed a jury-rigged bill that has produced dire consequences for the state and its citizens.

In the coming months, Kansas legislators must roll up their collective sleeves to address revenue problems, and the attendant policy implications — for schools, roads, health care, mental health and welfare, among other subjects.

All this must be done with 165 legislators who have relatively little effective legislative experience. Indeed, only 12 of 40 senators and 24 of 125 representatives will have served in both 2009-10 (the last moderate-conservative session) and 2017-18. And among majority Republicans, just 12 representatives and six senators will have had such tenure.

In short, a lot of “legislative learning” must occur, especially for new committee chairs, who will preside over many complex and contentious issues. The pressures to address revenues and other concerns will be great, but legislators should not act in too much haste. They must take legislating seriously— in committee rooms, in caucus meetings, and on the floor — to slowly turn the Kansas ship of state.

— Professor Burdett Loomis of the University of Kansas is the author of “Time, Politics, and Policy: A Legislative Year,” which examined one year in the Kansas Legislature.

Tweets, theater entertain, but Congress is the main event Washington — The most amusing part of the Trump transition has been watching its effortless confounding of the media, often in fewer than 140 characters. One morning, after a Fox News report on lefty nuttiness at some obscure New England college — a flag burning that led a more-contemptible-than-usual campus administration to take down the school’s own American flag — Donald Trump tweets that flag burners should go to jail or lose their citizenship.

An epidemic of constitutional chin tugging and civil libertarian hair pulling immediately breaks out. By the time the media have exhausted their outrage over the looming abolition of free speech, judicial supremacy and affordable kale, Trump has moved on. The tempest had a shorter halflife than the one provoked in August 2015 by a Trump foray into birthright citizenship.

Trump so thoroughly owns the political stage today that the word Clinton seems positively quaint and Barack Obama, who happens to be president of the United States, is totally irrelevant. Obama gave a major national security address on Tuesday. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s son got more attention.

Trump has mesmerized the national media not just with his elaborate Cabinet-selection production, by now Broadway-ready. But with a cluster of equally theatrical personal interventions that by traditional standards seem distinctly unpresidential.

It’s a matter of size. They seem small for a president. Preventing the shutdown of a Carrier factory in Indiana. Announcing, in a contextless 45-second surprise statement, a major Japanese investment in the U.S. Calling for cancellation of the new Air Force One to be built by Boeing.

Pretty small stuff. It has the feel of a Cabinet undersecretary haggling with a contractor or a state governor drumming up business on a Central Asian trade mission. Or of candidate Trump selling Trump steaks and Trump wine in that bizarre victory speech after the Michigan primary.

Presidents don’t normally do such things. It shrinks them. But then again, Trump is not yet president. And the point here is less the substance than the symbolism.

The Carrier coup was meant to demonstrate the kind of concern for the working man that gave Trump the Rust Belt victories that carried him to the presidency. The Japanese SoftBank announcement was a down payment on his promise to be the “the greatest jobs president that God ever created.” (A slightly dubious claim: After all, how instrumental was Trump to that investment? Surely a financial commitment of that magnitude would have been planned long before Election Day.) And Boeing was an ostenta-

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

tious declaration that he would be the zealous guardian of government spending that you would expect from a crusading outsider.

What appears as random Trumpian impulsiveness has a logic to it.

It’s a continuation of the campaign.

Trump is acutely sensitive to his legitimacy problem, as he showed in his tweet claiming to have actually won the popular vote, despite trailing significantly in the official count.

His best counter is approval ratings.

In August, the Bloomberg poll had him at 33 percent. He’s now up to 50 percent. Still nowhere near Obama’s stratospheric 79 percent at this point in 2008, but a substantial improvement nonetheless.

The mini-interventions are working but there’s a risk for Trump in so personalizing his coming presidency.

It’s a technique borrowed from Third World strongmen who specialize in demonstrating their personal connection to the ordinary citizen. In a genuine democracy, however, the endurance of any political support depends on the larger success of the country. And that doesn’t come from Carrier-size fixes. It comes from policy — policy that fundamentally changes the structures and alters the trajectory of the nation.

“I alone can fix it,” Trump ringingly declared in his convention speech.

Indeed, alone he can do Carrier and SoftBank and Boeing. But ultimately he must deliver on tax reform, health care, economic growth and nationwide job creation. That requires Congress.

The 115th is Republican and ready to push through the legislation that gives life to the promises. On his part, Trump needs to avoid needless conflict. The Republican leadership has already signaled strong opposition on some issues, such as tariffs for job exporters. Nonetheless, there is enough common ground between Trump and his congressional majority to have an enormously productive 2017. The challenge will be to stay within the bounds of the GOP consensus.

Trump will continue to tweet and the media will continue take the bait.

Highly entertaining, but it is a sideshow. Congress is where the fate of the Trump presidency will be decided.

Overland Park (ap) — A 14-year-old boy who was killed by a white supremacist at a Jewish site in suburban Kansas City will be honored in this year’s Tournament of Roses Parade.

Reat Underwood was shot to death along with his grandfather, William Lewis Corporan, in April 2014 outside the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park by a man who wanted to kill Jews. Another woman was killed at nearby retirement home.

The Kansas City Star reports that Reat’s family unveiled a floragraph of the teen Thursday that will be on the parade’s Donate Life float Jan. 2 in Pasadena, Calif.

The portrait, made of organic materials, will be one of 60 portraits of organ donors on the float.

Heather Denise Reed-Flynn of Kansas City also will be honored on the float.

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Court of Appeals will have a new chief judge next month.

The Kansas Supreme Court selected Judge Karen Arnold-Burger to serve as chief judge of the 14-member state appeals court beginning Jan. 9. She succeeds Chief Judge Thomas J. Malone, who will continue to serve on the appeals court after his four-year term as chief judge ends.

As chief judge, Arnold-Burger will determine venues for arguments, designate cases to be heard by three-judge panels and assign judges to panels.

Before joining the appeals court in 2011, Arnold-Burger’s positions included serving as presiding municipal court judge in Overland Park and assistant U.S. attorney in Kansas City, Kan.

plane is airborne once again.

The bustling scene is repeated an average of 14 times a day during the holiday cargo rush, which runs from Black Friday to New Year’s Eve. Compared to its normal schedule, UPS says it has already operated 100 extra flights through Anchorage in November.

December looks to be equally busy.

President Obama has ordered a full review of hacking-relating activity possibly linked to attempts to disrupt the November presidential election.

He wants the report before he leaves office on Jan. 20.

The news came at a Friday breakfast arranged by the Christian Science Monitor.

“We may have crossed into a new threshold, and it is incumbent upon us to take stock of that, to review, to conduct some afteraction, to understand what has happened and to impart some lessons learned,” Obama’s counterterrorism and homelandsecurity adviser, Lisa Monaco, told reporters, according to The Washington Post.

Deputy White House press secretary Eric Schultz said the review would include the three most recent presidential elections and that President Oba- “We may ma had ordered have it to be con- crossed into cluded before a new the end of his threshold, term. and it is Schultz said incumbent there were indi- upon us to cations of malitake stock cious cyber activity in the of that.”

“What the president asked for was a review of malicious cyber activity tied to our election cycle.

So it will be broader than just this past election,” he said.

Much of that review will be classified but will be shared with Congress and state elections officials. “We’re going to make public as much as we can,” Schultz said.

“I think that this is going to be a deep dive. This will be a review that is broad and deep at the same time. They’re going to look at where the activity leads them to look at.”

“I want to be clear here that this is not an effort to challenge the outcome of the election,” he said. “The president has gone out

GATLINBURG CROWDS RETURN

Tourists crowd a shopping area Friday in Gatlinburg, Tenn., as the city reopened to the public nearly two weeks after a devastating wildfire killed 14 people. But the charred remains of homes, vehicles and businesses on side roads served as a reminder of the cleanup and repairs still needed. A steady chorus of chain saws roared in the Great Smoky Mountains nearby, and fleets of utility vehicles and contractor trucks came and went.

Anchorage airport swarms with jets hauling presents Holiday season stirs big rush for package delivery operations Jeremy Dwyer-Lindgren @photoJDL Special for USA TODAY

ANCHORAGE The distinctive shape of a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 tri-jet appears out of the darkness and lumbers onto the UPS cargo ramp at Anchorage International Airport on a particularly cold December evening.

Bundled-up ramp workers hustle out to meet flight UPS81, recently arrived from Osaka Japan. It will continue on to the company’s home base in Louisville in just over two hours.

As the engines shut down and the parking brake is set, the race to get the airplane and its 98.5 tons of holiday-rush packages back into the air begins. Cleaning crews service the cockpit and crew-rest areas. Mechanics check the engines and top off the oil.

Meals for the next crew are shuttled on board while 22,000 gallons of fuel are added for the next flight.

For Millennials, is the American Dream dead?

Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

If the American dream is defined as earning more money than your parents, today’s young adults are just as likely to have a nightmare as they are to achieve their dream.

Only 50% of people born in the 1980s are making more than their parents, compared to 90% of children born in 1940, according to a new study by researchers at Stanford University, Harvard University and the University of

California-Berkeley.

The study concludes that income inequality is the primary reason why many young people are left behind.

Slower rates of economic growth are a secondary factor, according to the findings.

“These results imply that reviving the ‘American Dream’ of high rates of absolute mobility would require economic growth that is spread more broadly across the income distribution,” the researchers concluded.

Upward income mobility is diminishing more rapidly for certain regional populations and

demographics.

The study points out that the largest declines are concentrated “in the industrial Midwest states such as Michigan and Illinois,” where high-paying manufacturing jobs have declined considerably.

By contrast, South Dakota and North Dakota are holding up better than the rest of the 50 states.

South Dakotans and North Dakotans born in 1980 are 62.3% and 59.4% as likely to make more than their parents.

Overall, young men’s prospects are worsening at a quickening pace than young women’s.

Sons born in 1984 are only 41% likely to earn more than their fathers, compared to 95% of sons born in 1940.

Still, they’re better off than daughters born in 1984, who are only 26% likely to earn more than their fathers, down from 43% of daughters born in 1940. The study did not compare daughters to their mothers.

If current income distribution was equivalent to the breakdown for the 1940 generation, then 80% of today’s young adults would be earning more than their parents.

Alternatively, if gross domestic

product had maintained the torrid rates of their parents’ generation, 62% of people born in 1980 would be earning more than their parents.

“The key point is that reviving the ‘American Dream’ of high rates of absolute mobility would require more broadly shared economic growth rather than just higher GDP growth rates,” the study concludes.

The study was conducted by Raj Chetty and David Grusky of Stanford, Maximilian Hell and Nathaniel Hendren of Harvard, and Jimmy Narang of Berkeley.

Giuliani won’t be in Trump Cabinet Former New York City mayor pulls himself from consideration, will stay in private sector Eliza Collins USA TODAY

The secretary of State short list just lost a name.

Friday, Donald Trump’s transition team announced that longtime loyalist Rudy Giuliani had removed his name from consideration for any Cabinet post in the new administration.

“Before I joined the campaign I was very involved and fulfilled by my work with my law firm and consulting firm, and I will continue that work with even more enthusiasm,” Giuliani said in a statement. “From the vantage point of the private sector, I look

Trump spent $66M of his own money on campaign Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

President-elect Donald Trump didn’t need $100 million of his money to win the White House in the end.

Trump contributed another $10 million to his presidential campaign in the closing days of the election, bringing his total investment to $66.1 million, new filings confirm.

Trump’s campaign still had $7.6 million in leftover money in its bank account as of Nov. 28, as the real-estate magnate defied most conventions on his way to capturing the presidency.

Trump often cited a $100 million figure as the level of his personal investment in the campaign. Nearly 74% of the money he raised in the election’s homestretch and immediate aftermath came from small donors, according to the report his campaign filed late Thursday with the Federal Election Commission. It covered activity from Oct. 20 through Nov. 28.

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who is playing a key role on Trump’s transition team, donated $1 million in October to Make America Number 1, a pro-Trump super PAC aligned with New York hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah. In the final days of the campaign, former political rival Ben Carson, tapped to serve as head of his Department of Housing and Urban Development, transferred $100,000 in leftover funds from his presidential campaign to Make America Number 1.

Trump said he would call on Giuliani for advice and “can see an important place for him in the administration at a later date.”

“Rudy would have been an outstanding member of the Cabinet in several roles, but I fully respect and understand his reasons for remaining in the private sector,” Trump said in a statement.

In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, Giuliani said that he had given notice last month but “they didn’t accept the letter and therefore they wanted to still hold me in consideration for the State

Department.”

“This is a good time to do it, they’re down to the last two, three, four. So, it made sense to just get out of the way,” Giuliani said about finally convincing the team to let him remove himself from the list of potential nominees to be America’s top diplomat.

“Honestly, the other positions I didn’t have an interest in, so that really was the only one I had any real interest in. But it wasn’t so overwhelming that you know I’m terribly disappointed. I would like to do anything I can to help the president-elect. If he had a need he couldn’t fill somewhere I would’ve done it, but he has plenty of people that can fill that need, and I am extraordinarily happy in what I do.”

President-elect Donald Trump says he may call on Rudy Giuliani for advice.

of staff, said Giuliani passed vetting for potential conflicts of interest “with flying colors.” Critics had expressed concern about Giuliani’s work consulting for foreign governments while he was in the private sector.

Giuliani was favored for the post by Trump loyalists who did

not like the idea of former Trump critic Mitt Romney getting the nomination. Giuliani was one of those who was not in favor of selecting the former Massachusetts governor.

“Well, you know I probably agree with Newt (Gingrich) and with Mike Huckabee and a group of other very loyal supporters of president-elect Trump. I thought Mitt went over the line in the things that he said about Donald Trump, and the president-elect is going to make his decision, I will support that decision, but you know my advice would be Mitt went just a little too far. You can make friends and make up, but I would not see him as a candidate for the Cabinet,” he said on Fox. Giuliani said his choice for the post would be former U.N. ambassador John Bolton.

McMorris Rodgers is Interior pick Environmentalists voice displeasure with Trump selection David Jackson and Eliza Collins

@djusatoday, @elizacollins1 USA TODAY

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington as his secretary of Interior, a source close to the transition told USA TODAY Friday.

The timing of the announcement of Rodgers’ selection has not been determined, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because transition officials were not authorized to speak publicly about the nomination.

McMorris Rodgers is chair of the House Republican Conference, which makes her the fourth highest-ranking Republican in the House and the highest-ranking GOP woman in Congress.

News of the pick was swiftly criticized by environmentalists.

League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski said the selection amounted to “a massive ‘for sale’ sign on our public lands.”

“McMorris Rodgers has been part of the Republican leadership of the most anti-environmental House of Representatives in history, and she has an abysmal 4% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard. She simply should not be put in charge of stewarding America’s

DREW ANGERER, GETTY IMAGES

President-elect Donald Trump and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., met Nov. 20 in Bedminster Township, N.J. wildlife, national parks and other majestic landscapes,” Karpinski continued.

Said Greenpeace spokesman Travis Nichols: “At best, Trump can delay the inevitable clean energy revolution, but he can’t stop it. McMorris Rodgers is clearly not the right choice for a 21st century Department of Interior that will steward public lands on behalf of the American people.”

The Sierra Club also joined in, saying McMorris Rodgers has often voted to open public lands to drilling, mining and logging.

Eric Washburn, a consultant to the Policy Resolution Group — a lobbying firm that represents energy companies — was optimistic that McMorris Rodgers “will be able to chart a course for the agency that allows for conservation and development to proceed

hand in hand.”

Finding such a balance will be important, Washburn said, because “OPEC just got agreement on a supply cut that will raise oil and gas prices and likely lead to more demand to drill on federal lands.”

The news of Rodgers’ imminent appointment followed a meeting between Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan and came on a day when Trump was to conduct rallies in Louisiana and Michigan.

The House speaker, who has had an on-again, off-again relationship with Trump during the campaign, has become an enthusiastic supporter following Trump’s win, called the meeting “very exciting.”

“I really enjoyed coming up here and meeting with the presi-

dent-elect. We had a great meeting to talk about our transition.

We are really excited about getting to work and hitting the ground running in 2017. And getting this country back on track,” Ryan told reporters at Trump Tower following the meeting.

Trump was then en route to Baton Rouge, where he was to campaign for state Treasurer John Kennedy, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Louisiana’s Senate seat was not decided Nov. 8 because of the state’s “jungle primary system” which has everyone compete on Election Day. Unless someone gets a majority, the top two candidates (regardless of party affiliation) hash it out in a runoff election.

Trump spent much of his campaign holding events for his own candidacy which some candidates for elected office attended and received endorsements. But others did not show up at his rallies.

Following the event in Louisiana, Trump planned a trip to Grand Rapids, Mich., for another stop on his “Thank You” tour. He has been holding rallies in the battleground states that helped propel him to victory last month.

Michigan was one of the Midwest states that was considered a lock for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but Trump carried the state by about 10,000 votes.

Monday, Trump will meet with former GOP candidate for president Carly Fiorina, West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.

of his way to provide for the seamless transition of power.”

U.S. intelligence officials have said they believe Russia actively attempted to interfere with the U.S. presidential election, including a hack of the Democratic National Committee’s email system.

An Oct. 7 joint statement from the Department Of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security said, “The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.”

The specific instances outlined included: uEmails stolen from the Democratic National Committee uEmails from that hack given to WikiLeaks uScanning and probing of state election-related systems The activities were intended to interfere with the U.S. election process and are “not new to Moscow — the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques

across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there,” the joint statement said.

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes said Friday that Russia’s cyber-attacks are no surprise to the committee.

“I’ve said many times, the Intelligence community has repeatedly failed to anticipate (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s hostile actions. Unfortunately the Obama administration, dedicated to delusions of ‘resetting’ relations with Russia, ignored pleas by numerous Intelligence Committee members to take more forceful action against the Kremlin’s aggression. It appears, however, that after eight years the administration has suddenly awoken to the threat.”

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said a full review of election-related cyber-attacks was essential to protecting the integrity of democracy in the U.S. and would have been whatever the outcome of the election.

“Any administration should be deeply troubled by Russia’s attempt to tamper with our elections,” she said.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

Since the recession, the Federal Reserve has been trying to do something that may seem counterintuitive: push inflation higher.

Sure, modest — or even flat — price increases are better for consumers, leaving them more money for discretionary purchases.

But prolonged anemic inflation is a sign of a weak economy and gives shoppers little reason to buy stuff today since they know it won’t be much more expensive in the months ahead. And that can hurt consumer spending.

The good news is inflation is finally picking up a bit, largely because of moderately rising oil and gasoline prices. That helped push overall annual inflation to 1.6% in October from 1.1% in August, ac-

Samsung to release final update to Galaxy Note 7 Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

It’s the end of the line for the beleaguered Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung Electronics’ next — and final — update to the recalled smartphone will render it inoperable when it is released Dec. 19.

The South Korean electronics giant on Friday said the update will “prevent U.S. Galaxy Note 7 devices from charging and will eliminate their ability to work as SAN FRANCISCO

mobile devices.”

The updated phone will be available through all major carriers for 30 days, Samsung said in a statement.

Since the Note 7 was recalled in September and again in October after multiple reports of it catching on fire, Samsung has frantically tried to get millions of Note 7 customers to return their smartphones. To date, about 93% have done so in the U.S., leaving more than 100,000 still unaccounted for.

Under a refund and exchange program, Note 7 owners can re-

A damaged Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The next update to the smartphone will render it inoperable.

turn their phones or exchange them for other Samsung devices.

The unceremonious end to the

Note 7 was Samsung’s only sensible option, analysts said, as it readies new devices to re-estab-

Samsung is working on bendable and two-screen models in 2017, according to a report in etnews, a Korean tech news website. Samsung had no comment on the report.

“They need to put Note 7 to rest to get ready for the next devices, S8 and Note 8,” tech analyst Jack Gold says. “The best thing they can do is focus on the future.

Consumers have short memories and still like Samsung. If the new devices are good, there should be no long-term negative effect.”

“That’s the great thing about promoting a comedy during the apocalypse,” says the funnyman, who co-stars with Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn and Kate McKinnon as fun-loving employees who throw a debaucherous, R-rated Office Christmas Party (in theaters Friday) to save their tech company. “Family is not for arguing and fighting this year. It’s for getting together and remembering what’s great about America, which is film and laughter. We’ve always had the best sense of humor in the world — you hear that, England?”

Neil Young covers new protest era on ‘Peace Trail’ @maeve_mcdermott USA TODAY

8“It’s one end of the spectrum or the other.

While his rock peers spend their late-era careers recording cover albums and embarking on wildly lucrative tours, Neil Young, 71, REVIEW is as prolific and political as ever. And given the heightened political climate into which he releases his latest studio album Peace Trail (eegE out of four, out Friday), who can blame the singer-songwriter legend for continuing to speak up?

But in 2016, protest music looks, and sounds, much different than the guitar-strumming screeds Young has spent decades recording, from early favorites such as Southern Man and Ohio to more recent crusades against Monsanto and big agribusiness.

And from the sounds of Peace Trail, the weight of the world is still sitting heavy on Young’s shoulders. His new songs pulse with immediacy, moving down a checklist of 2016’s most salient political topics, particularly the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

Over pow-wow drums and acoustic guitars, highlights Indian Givers and the album’s title track

Neil Young sings about 2016’s issues. paint a dramatic picture of the conflict at Standing Rock, the songs’ heroes fighting for the fundamental right to their land.

“There’s a battle ragin’ on the sacred land / Our brothers and sisters had to take a stand,” he sings on Indian Givers.

Meanwhile, John Oaks tells a story of police brutality from a different perspective, focusing on a local business owner struggling to protect his workers and caught up in a bloody conflict.

RICH FURY, AP

Longtime fans of Young will likely nod in agreement with Peace Trail’s tales of injustice; other listeners may see the singer-songwriter not as soothsaying voice of reason, but as an old man railing against new technology he doesn’t understand. Indeed, in Peace Trail’s weakest moments, the feeling is mutual, as Young rails against an over-connected society that can’t identify with him anymore.

“I’m lost in this new generation, left me behind it seems / Listening to the shadow of Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze sounding like TV,” he sings on My Pledge, as disembodied Auto-Tuned vocals echo in the background.

As valid as Young’s complaints are, that technology has rendered humans devoid of empathy, he often adds flourishes of electronic music that make his point too literally, particularly the chorus of automated voices on album closer My New Robot.

And for a new generation of listeners, who’ve connected with the rallying cries of Kendrick Lamar’s Alright and the charged imagery of Beyoncé’s Formation video, Peace Trail’s guitar-strumming storytelling may seem woefully out-of-date.

Still, even if he’s not the voice speaking for the new wave of civil unrest, Young’s is still an essential one, with Peace Trail the latest in a storied songbook spanning 60 years of protest. Recently, Bob Dylan made history by winning the Nobel Prize for his contributions to the American musical tradition; while Dylan may be his generation’s poet, Young is their historian.

Dear Annie: We had a close friend kill himself recently. It was devastating to everyone, especially for his family. I still find myself trying to find the right words to say to the family members. When I see them, I really don’t want to ask, “How are you doing?” I know that opens the wounds every time they hear that, and I know it’s killing them, too. But I also know they would consider me insensitive if I were not to say anything about things at all. What is something proper to say or ask?

You’re never prepared for this, and there is no simple etiquette regarding this delicate subject. — Sudden Loss for Words in TN Dear Sudden: I’m so sorry for your loss.

words to say. Your feelings will surpass your phrasing.

Extend your warmth to the family members the next time you see them by letting them know you’re thinking of them, even if they need some space for the time being. Tell them, in your own words, that you will always be there for them in whatever capacity they need.

Dear Annie: I’d like to offer a different position than the letters I’ve

‘30 for 30’ examines racial rivalry People with difficulties discussing topics like race and class find such conversations easier when wrapped up in the mantle of sports. That’s the lesson of two great TV events of 2016, FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story “ and ESPN’s masterful documentary series “O.J.: Made in America.”

ESPN’s “30 for 30” (8 p.m.) franchise returns to a similar subject with “Catholics vs.

Convicts,” directed by Patrick Creadon. The film recalls the Oct. 15, 1988, football game between Notre Dame and the University of Miami, schools that had been engaged in a heated rivalry since Miami humiliated Notre Dame three years earlier.

The documentary also explores the very different cultures and self-images of the institutions and their sports programs. Not unlike baseball’s New York Yankees, Notre Dame’s “Fighting Irish” represented tradition for millions of fans, students and alumni. Under coach Jimmy Johnson in the 1980s, Miami projected a swagger that many felt transcended the bounds of sportsmanship.

Director and narrator Creadon was a Notre Dame senior at the time of the big game, and as such might be a tad too close to the subject. This fascinating story could use a bit more historical perspective and maybe a little reflection on how the term “Fighting Irish” once referred to an immigrant class commonly considered criminals by “respectable” Americans.

O Holiday programming brings two family favorites released in the same year more than half a century ago. In addition to featuring memorable songs, the two 1964 pop cultural artifacts, “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-G) and “Mary Poppins” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) share a similar theme. Both suggest that perhaps “Father may not know best.”

O The new series “IconocLIST” (MNSBC) celebrates notable pioneers in fields of business, culture, media and medicine. First up: Martha Stewart (8 p.m.) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (9 p.m.).

Tonight’s other highlights O A single mother (Angell Conwell) schemes to scuttle the remarriage of her child’s father (London Brown) in the 2016 romance “Merry Ex-Mas” (7 p.m., TV One).

O Jimmy Durante narrates the 1969 special “Frosty the Snowman” (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-G), followed by “Frosty Returns” (8:30 p.m.) from 1995.

O Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Jamie Oliver and Emeli Sande appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

seen addressing “Frustrated in Maine’s” dislike of being asked by a restaurant’s waitstaff whether he would like change.

After speaking with a few other young people, I’ve found a pattern: Many millennials prefer to work with whole numbers when paying for meals. So rather than calculate a 15 percent tip exactly, they’ll approximate it and round to the nearest dollar (or to the nearest bill they have available). As long as the difference isn’t too great, they’re content to perhaps give closer to a 20-25 percent tip to a good waiter if that means they won’t have to deal with small change.

Hence, waitstaff has come into the habit of asking, “Would you like your change?” It’s less fishing for a tip and

more asking, “Have you included my tip in the money you gave me, or do you want me to bring back the change?”

In such a busy environment as a restaurant, I don’t blame servers for trying to save an extra trip back to the table.

When the difference is very large they usually won’t even ask and will simply bring the change.

I doubt any of these servers are intending to be rude, and I’m completely astounded that people would withhold tip money (which makes up the majority of waitstaff’s pay) over something so petty — especially if someone was an otherwise wonderful server. — Flabbergasted in North Dakota — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

High school student sues coach, alleging harassment Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — A Kansas high school student has filed a federal lawsuit accusing an assistant football coach of sexually harassing her.

The student, who is not identified, and her mother filed the Title IX lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., against the Smith Center School District and Brock Hutchinson,

a longtime assistant high school football coach at Smith Center high school, The Kansas City Star reported.

The lawsuit, which seeks undetermined financial damages for medical bills, emotional suffering and attorney fees, accuses Hutchinson of sexually harassing the student in front of classmates and school employees. The lawsuit

also claims the harassment led the student to become depressed, miss school and change schools in her senior year. The student is finishing her final year at another district.

The district referred questions Friday to the district attorney, who didn’t immediately respond to a call seeking comment. Hutchinson said he didn’t know such

a lawsuit had been filed, was surprised and declined comment about the allegations.

The lawsuit claims that Hutchinson, who in 2008 was a member of the coaching staff that led the Smith Center football team during what was then the nation’s longest winning streak, was “commonly known” among district employees “to routinely engage” in

sexual conversation with students.

The lawsuit also claims school officials ignored the student’s complaint, and that after the student and her mother complained to district officials about Hutchinson, the student’s car tires were slashed in the school parking lot, she was intimidated and interrogated by school employees and students and

Caring for holiday gift plants

P

oinsettias, Norfolk Island pines, a variety of succulents and air plants are popping up all over holiday retail displays, and you might be thinking about buying one as a gift or for a special treat to yourself.

These and other indoor plants provide many benefits besides looking pretty, including filtering the air we breathe, producing oxygen and making us feel less stressed and more focused.

Here are a few tips for success with common holiday gift plants.

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith Poinsettias Place poinsettias near a sunny window or an area that receives a lot of natural light.

Although they have become a symbol of wintry holidays, poinsettias are tropical plants native to Mexico. Keep them wrapped up during transport and away from drafts in their new home.

To water poinsettias, take plants out of their foil wrappers or other decorative containers if double-potted. Ensure that the interior pot has drainage holes, then set plants in the sink or bathtub. Add water until soil is soaked through and water runs out the bottom of the pot. Remember that potting soil is like a sponge and may

take a little time or a couple of applications to wick water all the way through. When the pot has finished dripping, return it to its sunny location and wait to water until the soil has started to dry out again.

Besides traditional red poinsettias, you can find pink, white, yellow, salmon, blue, silver, and multicolored plants.

Some of these colors are the result of breeding; others (especially blue) are the result of painting. The blue color was initiated to make the poinsettia attractive for Hanukkah decorations, but its popularity has certainly contributed to the selection of other colors of painted poinsettias.

Norfolk Island pines These pines are also tropical and must be kept indoors to survive in Kansas.

They are native to the island for which they are named, near Australia. To keep them houseplant-sized, keep them in a small pot and prune as needed.

Place Norfolk Island pines in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Rotate plants as needed to keep them symmetrical as they will grow toward the light source over time.

Like poinsettias, they should

Poinsettia plants are native to Mexico.

Use pepper spray properly

C

hemical Mace was first marketed for personal defense in the late 1960s by the Smith & Wesson Co. Originally, Mace was primarily CN (phenacyl chloride) tear gas. It was soon discovered that actual pepper spray, derived from cayenne peppers, reacted faster, lasted longer and was a more effective deterrent than tear gas.

Mace Security still produces a triple defense spray that contains tear gas, but most defense sprays are now actually pepper sprays.

Many states have passed legislation making the use of tear gas illegal, but all states still allow the use of pepper spray for personal defense. Proper storage and use of pepper spray is key to its effectiveness as a defensive tool. l Store pepper spray in a safe, environmentally controlled space.

Excessively cold or hot temperatures will reduce the effectiveness and functionality of pepper spray. Always keep pepper spray away from children and pets. l Pepper spray has a life expectancy of four years or less. Test the function of the spray every few months and dispose of the spray properly before it reaches its expiration date. l Be prepared before a situation

arises by walking with the pepper spray container clutched in your fist with a thumb on the trigger of the device. This assures the spray will be ready and aimed in the right direction, should an altercation arise. l Pepper spray works best when sprayed directly into the eyes. With your arm bent, position your fist a

as you can during the entire altercation. Be prepared for the possibility of spray drifting into your face. Get away from the situation as soon as possible. l If the use of pepper spray sounds too problematic, consider using a tactical flashlight as a defensive tool. Shining a light of 120 lumens or more directly into the face of an assailant can produce 2 to 4 seconds of disorientation, providing an opportunity to flee. Choose a small, rugged, waterproof light that fits comfortably in your hand for the best protection.

be allowed to dry out a little between waterings.

When you do water, soak the potting mix until it is saturated and water runs out the bottom. Use a saucer if the plant is too large to be moved.

Succulents Single plants and mixed succulent “gardens” are very popular right now. Although care depends a little on the species (of which there are hundreds), most succulents benefit from having at least a half day of bright light in either a sunny window or bright indirect light. Allow them to dry out even more than the poinsettias, and once again, make sure to thoroughly soak the soil when you do water.

Succulents are nice because they are pretty forgiving to forgetful plant waterers, many species take up little space, and they tend to be less messy than larger, leafy indoor plants.

EMPLOYMENT

Air plants Air plants (Tillandsias) are so named because they absorb water and nutrients through their leaves (or seemingly, the air) rather than roots.

There are hundreds of species ranging in sizes, shapes and colors, but most commercially available air plants range from the diameter of a lime to that of a grapefruit. Some look like a green leafy pine cone; other have long wispy tendrils. They are often sold in open glass bulbs meant for display.

Place air plants in bright indirect light rather than direct sun if possible. If a bright window is the only option, water more often than if

the plant were in indirect light.

Most sources agree the best method of watering an air plant is to soak it in room temperature rain water for 20 to 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week. Thankfully, air plants are also forgiving. Try dipping them in tap water that has sat overnight (a watering can works well for this), mist them with a spray bottle, or even give them a gentle rinse under lukewarm water from the tap. Watering once a week will keep air plants going in most cases. Add in a longer soak once every few

weeks if you can remember.

Other gift plants If you pick up a plant that is unfamiliar to you or the recipient, do your best to find out a name for it before you leave the store.

Then, look up care information and follow it as much as possible. Plants may be easier to care for than kittens or puppies, but they do need a few basics to survive.

This beautiful lady is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix named Tally. She is friendly around other dogs but sometimes prefers to keep to herself and do her own thing!

She will need a little patience when it comes to introducing her to new things or friends since she gets overwhelmed at times.

NU coach awaits fieldhouse experience

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas volleyball priorities are clear Final Four participant in 2015 and outright Big 12 champion in 2016, Kansas volleyball has a legitimate shot to maintain its elite level of play in 2017, senior year for All-Americans Ainise Havili and Kelsie Payne and for Madison Rigdon, first-team All-Big 12 selection.

But the chances of participating in the Final Four, played in nearby Sprint Center, greatly increase if the Jayhawks can bring in one Bechard or two more Big 12-ready middle blockers to compensate for the graduation of four-year starter Tayler Soucie.

This late in the recruiting season, Big 12-ready basically means a transfer or graduate transfer. Keep in mind that in volleyball, transfers are not required to sit out a year.

If Bechard and his staff can bolster the middle, the coach is confident his team will be every bit as good as his previous two, which combined for a 57-6 record.

“We’ll bite off a much more aggressive pre-conference schedule, so I’m telling you right now our record’s not going to be as good, but that’s OK,” Bechard said.

It’s the only way to improve one’s RPI, a rotten tool overused by NCAA tournament committees in multiple sports.

KU’s only losses this season were to Purdue, Texas (splitting two matches) and Creighton. Both Creighton and Purdue will visit Horejsi Center in early September.

“They’ve got everybody back and we’ve got other things working, plus Texas will be big-time,” Bechard said.

Unlike at middle blocker, Bechard is confident he has ample depth from which a starter can emerge to fill the libero spot vacated by Cassie Wait, a first-year law student named Big 12 scholar-athlete of the year and Big 12 libero of the year. KU now recruits at an elite enough level that it can reload after losing key contributors.

Part of the improved recruiting can be traced to interest in volleyball exploding to such a degree that the Jayhawks have outgrown their 1,300-seat home facility, constructed thanks to the largesse of the Stewart Horejsi family. Plans are in the works to expand the building to a still-intimate 3,000-seat capacity, the minimum requirement to play host to an NCAA regional.

“The Williams Fund is actively engaged in fundraising to make that happen,” associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said.

He declined to estimate the cost, but given the school’s desire to make it sparkle, it likely would be at least $10 million. It’s late in the game for KU to believe the expansion can be completed for the 2017 season, which makes reserving Allen Fieldhouse an absolute must.

Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self likes Nebraska coach Tim Miles.

He liked him when he was the head coach at Colorado State from 2007-12, knew about him when he led North Dakota State from 2001-07 and was thrilled for

him when he heard he landed the Cornhuskers job five seasons ago.

“I think he’s a good coach,” Self said of the leader of today’s 2:15 p.m. opponent at Allen Fieldhouse.

“And other people in our profession think it too. He’s a fun guy.”

Throughout his time as both a head coach and a fun

guy, Miles has made a name for himself with both basketball knowledge and marketing genius. There was a stretch of his career, both at Nebraska and back at CSU, when Miles was known to Tweet from his personal Twitter account at halftime of games.

“You don’t see that very often,” Self joked at his

Thursday meeting with the media. “But he’s probably the social media king of our profession. I understand why he does that. He’s generating interest for his program. I like him. I think he’s good and I think he’s done a really good job there.”

It’s funny that whole

LAWRENCE HIGH’S E’LEASE STAFFORD (40) SPLITS THE DEFENSE of Notre Dame de Sion’s Madline Dercher (15) and Anaiya Uhde (30) on Friday night at LHS.

Lawrence High girls make strong showing

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

On the first possession of Friday’s game, Lawrence High sophomore Chisom Ajekwu missed two point-blank

shots and Notre Dame de Sion scored the opening basket on its first possession.

That turned out to be the only time the Lawrence’s girls basketball team trailed and one of the only times

Ajekwu was stopped in the post.

At 6-foot-3, 4 inches taller than anybody on Notre Dame de Sion, Ajekwu used her size to her advantage while scoring 28 points on

12-of-18 shooting in a 51-39 win at LHS. “I would never underestimate a team because of size,” Ajekwu said. “I did have an

Shawnee — After scoring a combined 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting in the Free State High boys basketball team’s first two games, senior Sloan Thomsen busted out of his slump in a big way Friday in the Firebirds’ 6860 win over Mill Valley.

Thomsen scored a teamhigh 20 points, and drilled two of his four 3-pointers in the third quarter to give the momentum back to the Firebirds (2-1) after the Jaguars had taken their first lead.

“Sloan did what we need Sloan to do. He made some big shots, and he rebounded

well,” said Free State coach Sam Stroh of Thomsen. “We all struggled Tuesday night (53-49 loss to Blue Valley West) shooting the ball, but Sloan was able to separate us there in the third and the start of the fourth. That was huge for us, and big for him.”

Thomsen said that Tuesday’s loss to BV West in Free State’s home opener did not sit well with the Firebirds, and they were eager to get back on the court to make amends for it.

Stilwell — Playing games on back-to-back days isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but it was the perfect recipe for Lawrence High’s boys basketball team.

Less than 24 hours following a 26-point loss, the Lions jumped to an early lead against Highland Park and slowly kept adding to it in a 56-40 victory at Blue Valley High on Friday, earning third place in the Blue Valley Shootout.

Tweeting at halftime thing came up. Because Miles just might do it.

“Maybe I’ll send Bill a direct message at halftime, ‘Take it easy,’” Miles joked in a phone interview with the Journal-World on Friday. “If I thought he could open it, I’d probably send him one.”

All joking aside, Miles is elated for his opportunity to finally step foot inside Allen Fieldhouse, a place he has revered from afar throughout his life.

“Being a young person growing up in South Dakota, where you had two channels, when Kansas played it meant something,” recalled the 50-year-old Miles. “Just the whole history of Dr. Naismith and Phog Allen all the way down to Bill Self. I’ve got Teddy Owens on my staff (as director of operations) and his father (Ted Owens Sr.) coached in that building for a number of years, so that means something to us and Kansas City has been good to us in recruiting. Any time you get an opportunity to play a program like Kansas, you jump at it.”

This will not be Miles’ first trip to Lawrence.

Back in 2009, when he was recruiting former Lawrence High standout Dorian Green to CSU, Miles made a couple of trips to town but never so much as drove by Allen Fieldhouse.

That’s not to say Miles, who got his first glimpse at KU’s home gym on Friday night, has not linked himself to one of college basketball’s true blue blood programs in other ways.

Miles’ wife, Kari, recently purchased a print of Naismith’s original rules of basketball from the DeBruce Center and it is displayed in a conference room back on the Nebraska campus. Miles also recalled writing a letter to David Booth, who delivered the winning bid at an auction where the rules were sold in 2010, to express his admiration for Booth’s gesture to return the rules to Lawrence.

“I just wanted to let him know I thought that was really cool of him to do that,” Miles said.

Veritas boys 63, Topeka Cornerstone 60 Topeka — Trey Huslig and Tucker Flory scored 14 points apiece, and Veritas Christian defeated Topeka Cornerstone, 6360, in high school boys basketball Friday night to complete a sweep by the Eagles.

The Veritas girls defeated Cornerstone, 52-41.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

NU guard Tai Webster vs. KU guard Josh Jackson

KU coach Bill Self said Thursday that the Cornhuskers would present Kansas with one of the tougher challenges of the season to date from a competitive standpoint, and the Huskers’ track record of non-conference matchups with the likes of UCLA, Dayton, Clemson and Creighton certainly have the Huskers prepared for high-level competition. The Jayhawks have been on fire from 3-point range in their past four outings and continue to use the four-guard lineup highlighted by Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Josh Jackson to their advantage on both ends of the floor. Nebraska has athletes who match up decently well with the Jayhawks but may not have the experience. NU starts four sophomores and also lacks offensive punch thanks to the departure of former KU transfer Andrew White III. Playing at home against a team that will have to play a perfect game to compete, the Jayhawks likely will continue to do what they do best while also trying to work on the handful of weaknesses that have popped up so far this season. Because Nebraska is a “name opponent” from a Power 5 Conference, KU figures to gain some confidence from a good performance today even if the game goes the way so many others already have this season.

One of just two Cornhuskers shooting better than 45 percent from the floor, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Tai Webster enters today’s game as Nebraska’s leading scorer at 17.2 points a game but with a huge target on his back. The man hunting that bull’s-eye is likely to be KU freshman Josh Jackson, who, at 6-8, 210, has both height and weight on the Nebraska senior but does not give up anything in the way of quickness. Jackson takes great pride in playing defense and will not only look to harass Webster when he has the ball in his hands but also to haunt him when he does not.

Free State girls stumble at Mill Valley

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Shawnee — Free State High girls basketball coach Ted Juneau likes the complexion of experience and youth on his team, but there are games like Friday’s 54-42 loss to Mill Valley that have made him realize that there are a number of different things that the Firebirds need to do better in order to gel on the court.

Juneau’s squad was in a groove for the first quarter and a half, as the Firebirds (11) built a 22-13 lead, but things went downhill quickly after that. Mill Valley sophomore Presley Barton went on a personal 7-0 run and scored 12 of her game-high 17 points in the second quarter to spark the Jaguars.

Free State freshman Caely Kesten briefly halted Barton’s with one of her four field goals, but the Jaguars kept rolling with an 8-0 run to close the half.

“We’re young and it seemed like every time we left something open, they were making it,” Juneau said. “I don’t think

Thursday, when the Lions suffered an 80-54 loss to Blue Valley in the tournament’s semifinal, Lawrence’s first loss by more than 15 points since January 2013.

The Lions had four players with double-digit point totals — sophomore Clarence King (13), senior Jackson Mallory (11), senior Kobe Buffalomeat (11) and senior Austin Miller (10). King and Buffalomeat were named to the all-tournament team.

“It meant a lot to the seniors especially because we played terrible Tuesday with dumb turnovers,” Thomsen said. “We still had a few tonight, but we cleaned it up and went out and competed.”

Free State led 30-26 at the break, but the Jaguars jumped on the Firebirds with a 10-4 run to start the second half — taking their lone lead at 3634 after a Mason Little 3-pointer. The Firebirds grabbed the lead right back with back-to-back buckets from Jacob Pavlyak and Cameron Clark, before Thomsen gave Free State a little bit of a cushion. Thomsen hit a trey from his sweet spot right in front of the Firebirds’ bench to push their

advantage, and I took advantage of that. I’m learning not to get pushed around in the box and how to work for it.”

The game was tight for the first seven minutes.

Lawrence High (3-0) led 11-6 and had turned the ball over seven times.

But over the next seven minutes, the Lions went on a 14-0 run, which was sparked by four consecutive makes from Ajekwu, to take a 25-6 lead.

Notre Dame de Sion (1-1) shot just 3-of-28 in the first half because LHS was content to give up jump shots instead of driving lanes.

“They’re really aggressive and like to get to the line, so we were playing off of them a little bit,” coach Jeff Dickson said. “I thought we took away some of their better shooters and force people

Juneau credited the Firebirds’ quick start to the play of junior Jaelyn Two-Hearts

— who led Free State with 12 points. Two-Hearts was hampered with foul trouble for most of the night, though, and Juneau felt that that took the Firebirds out of rhythm a little bit.

“One person doesn’t change

“The game is so much easier when you have guys scoring,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “Last night we just labored when we tried to score.

Tonight we had some different guys step up and hit some good momentum shots for us. That just helps you at both ends.”

The Lions (3-1, ranked No. 10 in Class 6A) had a 9-1 run midway through the first quarter — with five points from sophomore guard Trey Quartlebaum. Then in the final 80 seconds of the period, Mallory drilled a 3-pointer and Miller added a layup.

“We played as a team,” Miller said. “We slowed down. We didn’t rush as many shots.”

In the second quarter, Mallory scored five points, including a layup-and-the-foul bucket on a pass in transition from senior guard Braden Solko, who banged up his shoulder on a couple of plays throughout Friday’s game.

Mallory, who shot 1-of10 from the field during Thursday’s loss, said he simply “slept it off.” He nearly finished with a double-double, recording eight rebounds, five assists and four steals to go

lead to five. Mill Valley guard Cooper Kaifes ended the Firebirds’ 7-0 run with a free throw, but Thomsen answered with another triple to put Free State up by seven.

Thomsen had plenty of help, as Shannon Cordes and Jay Dineen joined him in double figures with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Cordes scored the game’s first four points, and Stroh said he gave the Firebirds that spark that his team needed.

“Same thing with Shannon as with Sloan. Shannon didn’t play his best game on Tuesday, and he bounced back,” Stroh said. “I thought he did a good job, especially when Pav fouled out. He had to come in and play some defense, and help us out defensively.”

Dineen finished off the Jaguars at the freethrow line to fend off a late charge for Kaifes

and Mill Valley. Dineen knocked down 7 of his 10 free-throw attempts in the fourth.

“It feels great,” Dineen said. “Coming in against a team that won state last year 5A and beating them on their home field, uh, court not field — I’m so used to football — just beating them on their home court and having a win going into LHS week is huge.”

they don’t normally rely on to make shots.”

On the contrary, the Lions shot 14-of-29 (48 percent) in the first half. Junior Talima Harjo, who is normally their first player off the bench, missed the game due to an illness, so Dickson said he was happy to see Tamo Thomas find her shooting stroke.

Thomas scored all seven of her points in the first half.

In the second half, Dickson said his team settled for jumpers too often, which got his team out of sync offensively and led to them shooting 5-of-16 in the half.

The Storm disrupted the Lions’ rhythm by playing a zone defense that limited Ajekwu’s touches in the second half. Seniors Olivia Lemus and Skylar Drum, who Dickson said can both “flat out shoot it,” shot a combined 2-of-11, and weren’t able to make the Storm pay for leaving them open.

Fouled out: Pavlyak.

Although Dickson said this was the Lions’ best game of the season so far, he acknowledged there are still some lessons to be learned, but he’s glad it happened in a win instead of a loss.

“We know we can play better,” the coach said.

“We need to do a better job of finishing games as we move along and play a complete game, but we’ll take it.”

Lawrence will play host to Wyandotte at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

the whole complexion of the game, but when Jaelyn gets her third foul, that really kind of hurt us,” Juneau said.

“She does a good job of getting us into some things that really gets Madison (Piper) going, and gets her going and the rest of the team. Losing her hurt us a little bit I thought, and then we just lost a little bit of confidence.”

Piper joined Two-Hearts in double figures with 10, but was limited to just seven shots from the field. Juneau fully expects Piper to have a bounce back game at 7 p.m. Monday for FSHS’ road contest against the Central Academy of Excellence, but said that the Firebirds need a more balanced effort in order to be at their best.

“The first game, Sam Lawrence scored 17 and CK scored 12 and Jaelyn had two. We’ve got to get something consistency about our play. We’ve got to understand that we can score. We have scored, but we have to do it on a consistent basis because that is what will make our team better. That will help us, and help Madison be better, too.”

“Being on this team for four years and being the young guy until now, they tell you time flies and it really does,” Mallory said. “Just trying to be the leader that I can be and showing these guys what we need to do to win, how we need to play to win.”

The Scots (2-2) threw a variety of defenses against the Lions including a few zones and fullcourt presses. But they never pulled any closer than seven points in the second half, shooting 33 percent from the field and missing 10 free throws.

Lawrence, which played without sophomore Noah Butler (ankle injury) and junior Anthony Selden, picked up key scoring spurts from King in the third quarter and Buffalomeat in the fourth quarter. Buffalomeat added nine rebounds.

With four games in the first week of the season, the Lions haven’t had much time to fix mistakes through practices, but they are happy with their progress.

“We’ve played some good basketball, some bad basketball,” Lewis said. “We’ve been all over the map. That’s a sign of

who we are and I’m OK with that at the moment.

Just a good win. You walk out of here feeling good.”
