NO GUNS ALLOWED SIGNS ARE POSTED ON DOORS LEADING INTO WESCOE HALL on the University of Kansas campus in 2016. A proposal that would have let colleges and universities continue to ban concealed weapons failed to advance out of a Senate committee Tuesday.

Campus carry repeal bill fails to advance

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — A bill that would let colleges, universities and local governments continue to ban concealed weapons in their buildings failed to advance out of a Senate committee Tuesday, dealing a major setback to supporters of gun restrictions in public buildings.

“I’m incredibly angry because the support for this bill was overwhelming,” said Megan Jones, a University of Kansas graduate student and co-president of the Kansas Coalition Jones for a Gun Free Campus.

“The universities community and the hospital community and all the students overwhelmingly support extending this exemption, and it’s incredibly clear who the senators on this committee work for, which is the gun lobby and not the people,” she said.

Gun rights advocates who opposed the bill, however, were elated.

“A win for the 2nd amendment,” Kansas Republican

Party Chairman Kelly Arnold posted on Twitter.

Sen. Jacob LaTurner, RPittsburg, who chairs the Federal and State Affairs Committee, had given no indication earlier that he intended to bring the bill up for a vote on Tuesday.

Senate Vice President Jeff Longbine, R-Emporia, who serves on the committee, said he wasn’t present for the vote because he had been told it wouldn’t happen until Thursday.

But during Tuesday’s meeting, LaTurner called up the bill and opened the floor to motions. Sen. Lynn Rogers, D-Wichita, offered a motion to recommend it favorably to the full Senate.

His motion failed on an unrecorded voice vote.

Later in the day, Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, was reluctant to discuss how she voted on the bill or why.

The University of Kansas Office of the Provost will hold an informational forum on President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States.”

The event is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today at Watson Library 3 West, according to a new memo from KU Provost Neeli Bendapudi. The gathering will feature leaders from the provost’s office, KU international programs and all the schools, plus immigration experts and KU international student and scholar advisors.

Bendapudi said the goal is “to brief the group on what we know, what we do not know and to discuss your concerns.”

“Indeed, the entire university is affected by Friday’s executive action and we stand firmly against any form of discrimination,” Bendapudi wrote in the memo.

“I don’t know how that vote went. It was hard to tell what was going on,” she said as she walked away from a reporter.

But Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, was more forthcoming, saying he voted against advancing the bill because he believes the bill is unnecessary.

“The tragedy is, we’re conflating two issues,” he said. “I recognize the emotion that’s involved in the topic, but the data doesn’t bear out that it’s warranted at a level where you would restrict someone’s constitutional rights.”

Although technically the bill remains alive in the Federal and State Affairs Committee, its chances of ever coming out are now greatly diminished. But a similar bill is pending in the House and is scheduled to be heard in that chamber’s Federal and State Affairs Committee at 9:30 a.m. today.

In 2013, lawmakers passed a bill allowing anyone who is legally qualified to own a firearm to carry concealed weapons in any public building, excluding K-12 school buildings, unless they had adequate security to prevent anyone from bringing weapons into those buildings.

But it also allowed cities, counties and public colleges and universities to apply for a four-year exemption to give them enough time to make plans for how they would implement the new law.

Those exemptions expire July 1.

Senate Bill 53 and House Bill 2074 would have extended those exemptions indefinitely.

On Thursday, the same House committee will conduct a hearing on another bill that would specifically exempt the KU hospital complex from the gun law.

The next step is gaining formal approval from the Kansas Board of Regents to set up security measures at those facilities, required at some point before such measures are put in play, Regents spokeswoman Breeze Richardson said.

KU Athletics continues working with the university to iron out details for implementing a concealed handgun prohibition for games at Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium, deputy athletics director Sean Lester said.

But generally, he said, getting in will probably look a lot like it does at the Sprint Center, Arrowhead Stadium or Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. For men’s basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse, expect wands and portable metal detectors to ensure no one gets in with a gun, Lester said. The number of entrances may need to be reduced, which could slow down the process of getting fans to their seats.

“We want the experience at Allen Fieldhouse to be a great one,” Lester said. “So we’re going to assess it thoroughly.”

Security measures at Memorial Stadium will probably be similar, he said, but KU Athletics and the university are still working out details to deal with implementation in the “antiquated” facility with a myriad of entry points.

Paying for all of this is estimated to cost more than $1 million, Lester said. He said funding would come from KU Athletics’ operating budget.

“Metal detectors aren’t

Diversion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The KDOC on Tuesday published its standards and procedures for the bill’s Immediate Intervention Program online, Bowman said.

Essentially, the IIP allows certain children, often without a criminal record and who have committed lowlevel crimes, to divert the charges being filed against them.

The issue causing delays with the IIP was a lack of a centralized database allowing prosecutors to look up a child’s criminal history in order to see who qualifies for the diversion program, Bowman said earlier in January.

Now that the KDOC’s standards and procedures are published, prosecutors on the local level

have what they need to see who qualifies for the program, Bowman said.

All that’s left now is “implementation for the local level.”

The second problem area is the development of a Detention Risk Assessment Instrument, which categorizes juveniles into low-, medium-, and high-risk. The score will then determine whether a child needs to be incarcerated.

Bowman said the KDOC and the Office of Judicial Administration are working to develop the DRAI and that work should be finished around the end of February.

“In addition, the Secretary of State has issued public notice for hearing on proposed permanent rules and regulations for April 11, 2017,” Bowman wrote in a memo to the committee.

the speed limit raised to 55. City Engineer David Cronin told me this morning that he made the request to KDOT a few weeks ago. He said KDOT officials told him they intend to change the speed limit, but he wasn’t given a timeline.

It sounds like signs have to be ordered, and a time has to be scheduled for them to be installed. (It could be awhile. KDOT officials are very busy hiding their couches from the governor, who keeps going through the cushions looking for loose change.)

It is not clear why KDOT put the 45 mph signs up to begin with.

Cronin said it wasn’t simply a mistake of construction crews forgetting to take down the construction speed limit signs. Cronin said the design plans for the road show that stretch being 45 mph. But Cronin said there aren’t any traffic standards or particular road conditions that would make a 55 mph speed limit unsafe.

“We feel like the signs need to be consistent with what people feel is the comfortable speed for that street,” Cronin said.

A long-held theory

KU launches website on guns, plans info session The lawful concealed carry of handguns will be allowed on the University of Kansas campus beginning July 1, 2017.

KU has created a website, concealedcarry.ku.edu, packed with information about the impending change to the law.

The site explains the law and provides information for students, employees and visitors to campus. There are also answers to frequently asked questions and suggestions for what to do in an active shooter situation or how to help someone you suspect of being at risk to harm themselves or others.

The Office of the Provost plans an upcoming informational session from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 15 in 120 Budig Hall. The session will feature select campus experts sharing information and answering questions about the law and its implementation at KU.

cheap,” he said.

Capacity at Allen Fieldhouse — where a large percentage of fans squeeze side by side onto bench seats — is 16,300, according to Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletics director for public affairs.

Men’s basketball games currently are the only events there that draw crowds over 5,000.

Juvenile Justice Committee, said he was pleased with the progress and that the group will be addressing issues related to the bill for the foreseeable future.

Among the potential problems presented by the bill is an anticipated uptick in the number of children sent into the custody of the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

In October 2016, the DCF hit a record high of 6,911 children in custody, followed by 6,846 in November, according to the department’s website. Those numbers have been increasing steadily over the past five years.

A provision within the Juvenile Justice Reform Act will allow courts to refer juveniles to DCF custody in certain situations. Jennings said earlier this month that he had “no doubt” this would increase the DCF’s already high numbers.

L awrence J ournal -W orld in traffic engineering is that speed limits should roughly be equal to the 85th percentile of vehicle speeds on the street.

(That is why mathematicians and other people who understand percentiles always drive 120 mph.) The 85th percentile on that stretch of road definitely isn’t 45 mph.

At some point, the stretch of street will be a full-fledged city street, and there won’t be a need to get KDOT’s permission to change the speed limits. The state is the controlling party on the road currently because it used to be Kansas Highway 10. The South Lawrence Traffiway is now Kansas Highway 10. At some point, the state will transfer the old K-10 — basically all of 23rd Street — back to the city. But as we have reported, the city is currently negotiating with the state on maintenance work the state should conduct on the street before it is turned back over to the city. Cronin said those negotiations are still underway.

However, Benet Magnuson, executive director of Kansas Appleseed and an advocate for juvenile justice reform, said the net positives of the JJRA outweigh any negatives.

Magnuson attended Tuesday afternoon’s hearings, later calling the KDOC and Office of Judicial Administration’s delays “small speed bumps” when compared with what the bill hopes to achieve.

The DCF’s record numbers are a significant, however separate, issue from the JJRA, Magnuson said.

And in comparison with the DCF’s already-increasing numbers, the JJRA’s impact will likely be relatively small, he said.

“The problems that are leading to those record numbers are much larger, and they need to be addressed, but probably in a different way,” he said.

In reality, Magnuson said it’s “too early to tell” how strong of an impact

the JJRA will have on the Department for Children and Families. And if the bill sends more children to that department, then that is where they will best be served, he said.

“It is moving children from the juvenile offender system into the children in need of care system, and that is exactly what we should be doing as a state,” he said.

If there are kids in the juvenile offender system who are not there because they’ve committed offenses, and everybody really agrees they’re children in need of care and we’re putting them in the juvenile offender system because it’s a little more functional at this point… then what that means is we’re criminalizing kids for being children in need of care.”

Bragg drug paraphernalia case proceeding in municipal court

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

University of Kansas men’s basketball player Carlton Bragg Jr. has secured an attorney, and his initial court appearance in a drug paraphernalia case has been bumped to early March.

Bragg is now scheduled to appear in court at 10:30 a.m. March 3, according to Lawrence Municipal Court case documents, requested by the Journal-World and obtained Tuesday morning.

Bragg is charged with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. The charge was entered Monday in Lawrence Municipal Court.

The offense is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and a jail sentence

up to one year, according to Lawrence city ordinance.

Bragg is being represented by Lawrence attorney Hatem Chahine, who did not immediately return messages from the Journal-World Tuesday morning.

A c cording to the court clerk’s office, changBragg ing an appearance date is routine when someone secures an attorney. Bragg’s initial citation, also obtained by the Journal-World, said he was to appear Feb. 14.

Bragg, 21, is a sophomore from Cleveland.

KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self announced

Thursday night that Bragg was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.

On Friday, KU police said one person was facing a drug paraphernalia charge in a case that stemmed from a rape investigation at McCarthy Hall, 1741 Naismith Drive, the on-campus apartment building where KU men’s basketball players and other male upperclass or transfer students live. That suspect’s name, Bragg, became public Monday.

During the KU police department’s investigation of the alleged sexual assault at McCarthy Hall and a subsequent search, drug paraphernalia was found, KU Police Chief Chris Keary said. He reiterated this week that there was no indication

the drug paraphernalia is related to the sexual assault allegation.

The police report in the rape case indicated four crimes had occurred at McCarthy Hall between 10 p.m. Dec. 17 and 5 a.m. Dec. 18: a rape of a 16-year-old girl, contributing to a child’s misconduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The rape was reported Dec. 18.

Keary said the drug offense in that report was removed and made into its own report, the one that led to the charge against Bragg.

The rape investigation remains open, and police have released no information about a possible suspect, including whether the multiple alleged crimes are linked to

a single offender, Keary said. Police have said the victim, who was not a KU student and not from this area, was visiting residents in the building.

A runaway juvenile also was reported at McCarthy Hall the morning of Dec. 18, but police would not confirm whether the runaway and the reported rape victim are the same person.

All five witnesses named in the police report for the rape are basketball players. The single witness named in the runaway report is Bragg.

Police have not shared why those individuals were interviewed, but have said being a witness in an investigation does not necessarily mean an eyewitness to a crime, but rather someone who may have been in the area

or who may have other pertinent information to the investigation.

Bragg’s attorney, Chahine, also represented him in December, when Bragg was charged in Douglas County District Court with one count of battery following a dispute with his then-girlfriend. The charge was dismissed a couple days later and the woman was charged with battery instead. The district attorney’s office said in a news release at the time that surveillance video of the dispute showed her shoving him and placing her hand on his neck before he shoved her, causing her to fall backwards on some ascending stairs.

School board members pleased with racial equity conversation

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

On Tuesday afternoon, the Lawrence school board was still mulling over Monday night’s Community Conversation on racial equity.

But the two board members who spoke with the JournalWorld a day after the event said they were pleased by the results of the district’s efforts to better include parents and the greater community in the conversation surrounding racial equity in Lawrence schools.

The Monday talks, facilitated by pastor Adrion Roberson of the Wichita-based Kansas Leadership Center, drew a large crowd — around 200 people, by school board member Jessica Beeson’s count — to the Lawrence High School cafeteria.

“I was pleased with the turnout,” Beeson told the Journal-

World on Tuesday. “I think that’s really telling, that this is a really important topic in our community. So I was happy that so many people came out and wanted to be part of the conversation and solutions moving forward.”

What’s more, she and school board Vice President Shannon Kimball said they were pleasantly surprised by the variety in that turnout, which included parents, district and building staffers, comKimball munity members and even a handful of students, who spoke up at critical moments about their experiences as young people of color in Lawrence’s high schools.

Some shared stories, emotionally at times, about being

subjected to racially insensitive comments in the classrooms or in the hallways. A few, including Free State High School senior Sonal Soni, even identified the teachers and staffers — by name — that she said had failed to intervene when her peers, she said, called her a “racist (expletive)” and “racist scum,” among other insults. Her transgression, she said, was simply sharing her perspective as a person of color with her fellow students.

“We can change the way that we interact with each other, and we can change the way we listen and support each other,” Soni, who is Indian-American, told the crowd Monday. “So, support me and listen to me when I say I am being harassed for the color of my skin and for my gender. Listen to me when I say, ‘Hey, I was yelled at in the hall for speaking up (for) my beliefs.’”

Hearing stories like Soni’s was “heartbreaking,” Beeson

BARBEQUE BUFFET

said. She recognizes that racism is complex and long-standing, and certainly not unique to Lawrence and its school system. But it exists here, she also recognizes, and if she’s learned anything from the Community Conversation, it’s that some students may not feel seen or heard by the very people charged with looking out for them.

“If we have students feeling unsafe in school — feeling like they Beeson don’t know who to report to, feeling like their reports are being ignored — then there’s clearly something broken at the building level. And that needs to be addressed,” Beeson said. “It’s not any one person’s fault. It’s just a systematic way of doing business, and we are

continuing to do business that way, and it’s not working.”

The Intertribal Club of Lawrence High School on Monday night also introduced a list of demands that included, among other things, that all teachers undergo mandatory equity training. It’s one goal that the district and school board “is already moving forward on,” Kimball said.

As of November 2016, about 85 percent of the district’s certified staffers (teachers, nurses, counselors and other certified professionals working in schools) had taken part in the district’s Beyond Diversity training. The school board hopes to have nearly all its certified staff undergo the training by the end of the school year.

Another demand issued by the group also asked that resources be better publicized and accessible to students. One

At its Monday meeting, the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council was updated on progress on initiatives involving the electronic monitoring pilot program, a proposed pretrial monitoring program and the behavioral health court.

Intertribal Club member, speaking on behalf of her peers, said that they had only just recently been made aware of the school’s on-site psychologist, for example. “We can make progress in that area,” Kimball agreed.

“In order to make progress in the experiences these students are having in our schools, we’ve got to not just equip our staff with the tools to confront racism when it occurs,” she said, “but we also have to a do a better job of educating our students and our families in terms of how that process plays out.”

County Jail to the court, which then orders and monitors treatment.

With the court now operating with $443,000 in funding that the County Commission authorized for 2017, the court has started accepting new defendants, Roberts said.

Last week, the court added its second defendant from four applications.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the other three inmates reviewed were screened out because of histories of violence. The behavioral court’s policies and procedures have now been shared with the county’s defense attorneys, which should lead to a better understanding of those eligible for the court, he said. Two more applications for the court were received Monday, he said.

The court is expected to divert as many as 30 inmates from the jail annually.

Roberts said five new inmates were diverted to house arrest in January through a pilot electronic monitoring program. The county started the 90day pilot program Nov. 21, when a manufacturer made 10 electronic devices available. The company later provided two more at its expense, she said.

The five inmates diverted from jail in January equated to five beds saved at the Douglas County Jail for a total of 81 days, Roberts said.

Twenty-five inmates have been released since the program was started in November, saving the county 1,521 days of jail time, she said.

Once the trial period is

complete, court services is expected to request the County Commission to purchase monitors to continue the program.

“We’re doing a great job,” Roberts said. “We haven’t even kicked up the program yet. We have to do it right. We have to get our policies and procedures in place and not rush the program.”

Ensuring there was a thorough understanding of the county’s proposed pretrial monitoring program among defense attorneys and judges would be key to its success, said Allen Beck. The goal of the program is that of electronic monitoring, but it would release lowrisk inmates from jail with Court Services making followup phone calls to help assure they make required court dates.

members about how to best tackle racial inequity in schools. Their perspectives, she and Beeson agreed, are valuable.

In the meantime, school board members are giving district leaders some time to compile a summary report of Monday’s discussion. Julie Boyle, the district’s communications director, said those findings would likely be made public within a few weeks.

Several people also expressed interest in participating in the district’s new advisory committee on equity, though Beeson and Kimball both said they weren’t clear on when that group’s roster might be finalized. They hope it’s sooner rather than later.

“The school district has to have partnerships with our families and our community in order to have success at what

we’re trying to do in this area. And we can’t do it by ourselves,” Kimball said. “We need those partnerships. We need that input. We need those perspectives. And I think the discussions we had (Monday) will help us move forward.”

Calls to school board members Vanessa San-

burn and President Marcel Harmon, as well as Anna Stubblefield, the district’s assistant superintendent of educational support, were not immediately returned Tuesday.

A resident of Kansas City, Mo., Beck has been aiding the county as an unpaid consultant in its criminal justice review. Today, the Douglas County Commission will consider a contract with Beck that would pay him $5,000 a month through June 30.

Proper assessment was needed to evaluate inmates for the risks of failing to appear for court dates, staying free of criminal activity while released and a positive response to the program’s more relaxed monitoring efforts, which he said was not “supervision,” Beck said.

His recent consulting experience on the same pretrial issue in Minnesota

underscored the need to fully inform the defense bar and judges of policies and procedures, Beck said. The county would also need to track the program once it was in place, he said.

“You want to make sure what you got passes the scratch-and-sniff tests,” he said. “Does it make a difference? Is it better than the old system? We will be asked to show results.”

His previous experience was that the program could have a significant effect on the Douglas County Jail’s numbers, Beck said.

Commitment to school equity Monday’s conversation about race was a good start, but lasting change requires devotion and hard work.

5A

Bannon’s dangerous populist revolution Washington — At the red-hot center of President Trump’s first 10 days in office has been his strategist Stephen Bannon, who proclaims a global populist movement for “Judeo-Christian” values and against radical Islam.

I

t is clear that the Lawrence school district has serious racial equity issues to address and work through. It is clear that school district personnel and school board members are earnest in their efforts to address those issues.

But it also is clear that, much to the chagrin of some students, parents and other community members, change is not going to come quickly.

As Adrion Roberson told Lawrence residents gathered Monday night for a forum on race issues in the district, racism is an “issue so huge, you may not live to see any fruit from it. But you’ll be a seed planted.”

Certainly seeds need to be planted in Lawrence, where recent data show a growing problem in the schools. Consider: In October, it was revealed that while the number of minority staff members had increased by 25 percent at the Lawrence school district, most of the increase had come in noncertified support positions such as custodians, food service workers and aides. Just 70 of the district’s 1,035 teachers, 6.7 percent, identify as something other than white non-Hispanic. Black male students in the Lawrence district are likely to go through 12 years of school without ever having a black male teacher.

The Lawrence district’s 2016 Equity Report revealed more troubling data: Minority students, particularly black students, are vastly underrepresented in gifted and advanced placement programs, but overrepresented in programs for students with learning disabilities.

Black students are also far more likely to be suspended from school than white students. Trends are similar for Hispanic students.

These are serious problems, much more serious than the issue of a middle school teacher who is alleged to have said something racist in class. That incident fueled emotions and attracted headlines.

But it also was a relatively straightforward issue to address — the teacher is no longer with the district.

There is no one person to blame for the larger racial issues in the district.

The resignation or departure of any teachers or administrators isn’t going to change the fact that minority students are significantly more likely than whites to be labeled learning disabled or to be suspended from school but significantly less likely to be identified as gifted or accepted into advanced placement classes or even have a teacher who looks like them.

“If there was an easy fix to this, we would already be doing it,” school board member Shannon Kimball said at a recent board meeting to review some of the racial data. “But it’s hard work; it’s change over time that has to happen. The bigger picture thing is that our district is committed to doing that hard work to make a difference, and we’re not afraid to look at that data and talk about it and be open and transparent about it.”

Kimball is right; there are no easy fixes to racial issues that have evolved over generations. Monday’s community conversation was a good start. But there is a whole lot of hard work ahead. Getting to lasting change will require commitment and patience, not only from the district but also from students, parents and others who care about Lawrence schools.

“

The folly of the travel ban is that it is producing the opposite of what Trump says he wanted. It weakens America’s alliances, emboldens our adversaries and puts the country at greater risk. It’s not just misguided and heartless; it’s dangerous.”

Bannon is a passionate ideologue who is the intellectual center of the new administration. For nearly a decade he has been advertising his desire to turn America and the world upside down. He’s now doing exactly that. Trump’s “America First” trade policies and his anti-refugee travel ban are early glimmers of the revolution Bannon has long been advocating.

As the uproar over Trump’s actions grows, it’s important to distinguish between policies that are politically controversial and those that actually undermine the country’s foundations. The haphazard executive order banning travel by people from seven Muslimmajority countries seems to be the latter: It strikes at America’s core values.

The folly of the travel ban is that it is producing the opposite of what Trump says he wanted. It weakens America’s alliances, emboldens our adversaries and puts the country at greater risk. It’s not just misguided and heartless; it’s danger-

ous. It affirms the Islamic State’s narrative that it’s at war with an anti-Muslim America.

The weakness of Bannon’s strategy in these first days of Trump’s presidency has been its impatience and disorganization. The White House’s opening salvoes have been rushed, poorly planned shots that resulted in what Sen. John McCain called a “self-inflicted wound.” In his seeming counsel to Trump, Bannon appears to have overlooked Benjamin Franklin’s famous advice: “Haste makes waste.”

Some critics have argued that Bannon is a white nationalist and, even, a neoNazi. What follows is a more measured account, sticking to his own explanations of how he sees the world — and seeks to overturn the establishment’s network of trade and security policies.

As with many revolutionaries, Bannon’s story is that of a wealthy man who came to see himself as a vanguard for the masses. He rose from a middle-class life in Richmond, Va., through an uneventful stint with the Navy; but his life changed after he enrolled at Harvard Business School, joined Goldman Sachs, founded an investment firm and made a fortune. He began directing conservative agitprop documentaries in 2004, but the

2008 financial crisis was a turning point. Bannon saw it as a betrayal of working people, and he embraced the tea party’s conservative revolt against Republican and Democratic elites.

Bannon gained a powerful platform in 2012 when he became chairman of the hard-right Breitbart.com after the death of its founder, Andrew Breitbart. In an April 2010 speech to a tea party gathering in New York that was posted on YouTube, Bannon’s radical rhetoric evoked the 1960s and fused left and right: “It doesn’t take a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows, and the wind blows off the high plains of the country through the prairie, and lighting a fire that’s going to burn all the way to Washington.”

By 2014, Bannon saw himself leading what he called a “global tea party movement” against a financial elite that he described as “the party of Davos.” In a summer 2014 speech broadcast to a conference inside the Vatican, he railed against Wall Street bailouts and “crony capitalists.” Racists and antiSemites might get attracted to this movement, he said, “but there’s always elements who turn up at these things, whether it’s militia guys or whatever ... it all gets kind of washed out, right?”

State in 2014 gave Bannon a new rallying cry: “We are in an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism,” he told the Vatican audience. “I believe you should take a very, very, very aggressive stance against radical Islam.”

Breitbart’s London branch became a leading advocate of “Brexit,” and on the day Britain voted to leave the European Union, it thundered: “There’s panic in the skyscrapers. A popular revolution against globalism is underway.” Bannon pressed that theme after Trump’s victory, telling Breitbart’s radio show on Dec. 30 it was only the “top of the first inning.”

Last Friday’s travel ban echoed themes Bannon has developed over a half-dozen years. It brought cheers from the right-wing parties in Europe that are Bannon’s allies. “Well done,” tweeted Dutch populist Geert Wilders. “What annoys the media and the politicians is that Trump honors his campaign promises,” tweeted French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen. Bannon undeniably has a powerful radical vision. But this time, he may have blundered. The travel ban has triggered a counter-revolt among millions of Americans who saw his target as the Statue of Liberty.

From the Lawrence Daily Journalyears World for ago Feb. 1, 1917: l “Miss IN 1917 Grace Stotts, a senior at the University, was blown down by the wind near the bulletin board on the campus yesterday morning while on her way to classes and sustained a broken elbow.

Miss Stotts was assisted to her rooming house at

1201 Kentucky street, where Dr. John Sundwall, University physician, gave treatment.” l “The most accomplished bad check artist who ever operated in Lawrence made away with $91.50 worth of goods and $54.50 in cash a week ago last Saturday. Checks returned from the New York insurance company on which they had been drawn told the story of the swindle after its perpe-

trator had had a week or more in which to make his getaway. Four business places in town, the Innes store, the Ober store, the Weaver store and the Kennedy & Ernst store, were victimized by a man who had the appearance of an honest farmer.”

To the editor: The Economic Development Policy was revised by the Lawrence City Commission and became effective as of Jan. 15. There have been many questions raised about whether some developers have met their reciprocal obligations for receiving incentives and abatements as identified in numerous articles in the Journal-World.

Questions have rightfully been raised whether these incentives and abatements have provided a return on investment to the people of Lawrence.

On the other hand, it has been suggested by some that the Revised Economic Development Policy may suppress development.

What the new policy does is that it makes the requirements for receiving an incentive for a development in Lawrence much clearer and makes developers much more accountable than previously. That should be a very good improvement for developers as well as the citizens of Lawrence. The City Commission rightfully has acknowledged that the Revised Economic Development Policy needs to be monitored to see how the revision is working out. The truth, however, is that the revision was a very good step for the city, its taxpayers and prospective developers who want to know what the rules are and want to follow them. Kudos to the mayor, city manager and the Lawrence City Commission for their leadership.

Robert G. Harrington, Lawrence

WASHINGTON Nearly a full year after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death left the Supreme Court shorthanded, President Trump nominated federal appeals court Judge Neil Gorsuch of Colorado to fill the void Tuesday night, setting off a pitched battle over the direction of the nation’s highest court.

Trump unveiled his nominee to the nation on live television from the East Room of the White House after a day filled with palace intrigue, during which the news media mapped the whereabouts of Gorsuch and federal appeals court Judge Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, the other favorite for the seat.

Gorsuch, 49, sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. He is a Scalia acolyte who says judges should interpret laws as they are written

ful White House body responsible for shaping security and foreign policy.

Far more significant may be the views he brings to that table, which represent a sharp break from how previous administrations approached security issues, particularly around Islamic terrorism.

In dozens of hours of audio recordings reviewed by USA TODAY of his Breitbart News Daily radio show in 2015 and 2016, Bannon told his listeners that the United States and the Western world are engaged in a “global existential war,” and he entertained claims that a “fifth column” of Islamist sympathizers had infiltrated the U.S. government and news media.

Those recordings, preserved online, offer an often unfiltered window into the thinking of Trump’s interview-averse senior adviser.

The views mark a stark shift from foreign policy doctrine under the previous two administrations.

Groundhog Day is Thursday. Will Phil see his shadow?

Roly-poly rodent cute, not consistent Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

It’s that time of year again when meteorologists step aside to let a furry rodent make its famed weather forecast.

Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s celebrity groundhog, will be coaxed from his burrow in western Pennsylvania early Thursday as an anxious nation watches to

find out whether we’ll have an early spring or six more miserable weeks of cold and snow.

According to legend, if it’s sunny and Phil sees his shadow, the scared groundhog will return to his burrow, and the USA will endure six more weeks of winter. If it’s cloudy Feb. 2, the critter won’t see his shadow and will leave his burrow, meaning winter will soon end and an early start to spring is coming.

The forecast for Thursday morning in Punxsutawney, Pa., calls for mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of snow, but Phil is a fickle fuzzball, so who knows what he’ll do?

The Climate Prediction Center, in its official forecast for February released Tuesday, calls for warmer-than-average temperatures for almost the entire USA. Unfortunately, based on past weather data, “there is no predictive skill for the groundhog during the most recent years of the analysis,” according to a report released this week by the National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, N.C. Flipping a coin might be as accurate as Phil. Since 1988, the groundhog was “right” 14 times and “wrong” 15 times. In other words, only 14 times did the national average temperature for

the remainder of February match what would be expected based on what the groundhog predicted.

Last year, Phil was spot on: The rodent didn’t see his shadow, so winter should have been over.

February and March ended up warmer than average across the nation, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Every state in the contiguous USA had an above-average temperature in March.

Although Phil is the most famous groundhog, other furry forecasters include West Virginia’s French Creek Freddie, Georgia’s Gen. Beauregard Lee, Ohio’s Buckeye Chuck, North Carolina’s Sir Walter Wally, Louisiana’s Cajun Groundhog, Alabama’s Smith Lake Jake, Wisconsin’s Jimmy and New York’s Staten Island Chuck (full name: Charles G.

Super Bowl TV ads toned Trump taps ‘best down in Trump’s shadow? judge in the country’ Companies wary amid polarization

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Erik Brady

@ByErikBrady USA TODAY Sports

Donald Trump appeared in a Super Bowl ad five years ago in which he was outsmarted by a Century 21 agent. This time you won’t find him in the ads, though his unmistakable shadow will loom over them.

84 Lumber, a leading supplier of building materials, has a 90second Super Bowl spot that will air just before halftime. You won’t see the original version unless you go online. M.J. Brunner Inc., the agency that created the ad, says 84 Lumber seeks to present itself as a company looking for good employees, no matter where they come from. The ad’s original imagery included a wall — and the agency says Fox asked it to go back to the drawing board.

Trump will have been president for little more than two weeks on Super Bowl Sunday, and ad experts say the mere fact of his administration will be felt in some of the pricey commercials, though in ways more subtle than the explicit example of 84 Lumber.

Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, points to a country that is polarized by a bruising election campaign and a simmering anger that lingers in the land.

“We are obviously in a very tense social moment,” Thompson says. “Most advertisers are not going to want to do something that could be provocative to a

Shawn McBride, executive vice president, sports, at Ketchum Sports and Entertainment, says the tone of the times is often reflected in Super Bowl ads. Budweiser’s Clydesdales bowing before the New York skyline after 9/11 is a shining example. But in those days the country was united in its grief.

“I don’t think we’ll see ads as provocative as we’ve seen maybe years prior,” McBride says.

“That’s just not the temperature of the country right now. You don’t want to come across as tone deaf to the audience you’re trying to reach.”

Tim Calkins thinks brands will try their best to stay on safe ground in fractious times, especially in an era when social media affords the offended a means to complain instantly and harshly.

“There is no question that Super Bowl advertisers are thinking about Trump and thinking about polarization,” says Calkins, clinical professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. “All of these Super Bowl advertisers are trying to resonate and trying to break through, but I think they

will work very hard to be safe.”

Budweiser will have an ad that tells the immigrant story of its cofounder, Adolphus Busch. When the ad’s Busch arrives in 19thcentury America he hears catcalls in the streets. “You’re not welcome here! Go home!”

That offers echoes of today’s America. Side note: Trump’s grandfather, Frederick, also emigrated from Germany in the 1800s.

Super Bowl viewers who watch the ad for Avocados from Mexico might wonder if the guacamole they’re snacking on will soon cost more, as the Trump administration has floated the possibility of a tariff on imported Mexican goods.

“We don’t get into those political situations,” says Alvaro Luque, president of Avocados From Mexico, who says the main goal of his marketing organization is brand messaging. This year’s avocado ad has Jon Lovitz; last year’s had Scott Baio, who became notable as a Trump backer. Would Baio’s comic cameo have worked this time?

“No, probably not,” says Jay Russell, chief creative officer of GSD&M Advertising. “It’s a different year.”

and enforce the Constitution as the nation’s framers intended. He writes with a Scalia-like flair and has degrees from Columbia, Harvard and Oxford.

“Mr. President, I am honored, and I am humbled,” he said, standing next to his wife, Louise.

He expounded briefly on his legal philosophy. “In our legal order, it is for the Congress, and not judges, to write laws,” he said. “A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge.”

Gorsuch, along with Hardiman, emerged from a list of 21 people Trump considered, topped initially by federal appeals court Judges William Pryor of Alabama and Diane Sykes of Wisconsin. Pryor has a more controversial record on issues such as abortion and gay rights, possibly making Senate confirmation risky, and Sykes, 59, has fewer years on the bench.

The White House filled the East Room with Washington’s movers and shakers for the announcement. On hand were Vice President Pence, top Republican leaders in Congress and Scalia’s widow, Maureen. Democratic leaders declined their invitations.

Trump made sure everyone watching knew he had kept his word to nominate someone from the lists he put forward in May and September. From those, he said, he had chosen “the very best judge in the country” to replace Scalia. “I studied every aspect of his life,” he said. “The qualifications of Judge Gorsuch are beyond dispute.”

Gorsuch holds strong views about the limits of executive branch power. He has defended religious liberties, most recently against the Affordable Care Act’s so-called contraception mandate.

He will face intense opposition

from Senate Democrats and liberal interest groups, which planned to protest the nomination at the Supreme Court an hour after it was announced. Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, promised “a mass mobilization to defeat the nomination.”

“I look forward to speaking with members from both sides of the aisle,” Gorsuch said.

Republicans hold a 52-seat majority in the Senate, large enough to block President Obama’s choice of federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland last year but not sufficient to overcome a filibuster if Democrats seek to bottle up the nomination as revenge.

Unless Trump can win over eight of them, Republicans will have to change the Senate’s rules, eliminating the 60-vote threshold needed to bring the nomination to the floor. Trump endorsed such a move last week.

Republican senators sang their praises. “Today was the most important decision President Trump has made,” Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said. Sen. Cory Gardner predicted “major Democratic support” for his fellow Coloradoan.

The White House hopes to have the seat filled in time for the court’s sitting in April, the last of the 2016 term, when several cases could be considered involving such issues as religious liberty and transgender rights.

“There’s a lot of cases that I think are in the queue right now that have the potential to be 4-4 (votes),” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said. “I think the idea is to get this individual confirmed as soon as possible, just to get the docket moving.”

executive of Trump’s presidential campaign, and after the election, he was named the president’s chief strategist and senior counsel — a position equal in rank to the chief of staff.

His role in shaping Trump’s domestic and foreign policy has grown increasingly apparent in the early days of the administration. Bannon played a role in shaping a flurry of executive orders, including one that temporarily blocks immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations.

“He’s got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape that we have now,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, defending Bannon’s security post.

A BREAK FROM POLICY

While hosting his radio program, Bannon made statements that diverged from decades of U.S. foreign policy.

“We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years, aren’t we?” he said in March 2016. “There’s no doubt about that. They’re taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those. They come here to the United States in front of our face — and you nderstand how important face is — and say it’s an ancient territorial sea.”

The United States and China have a tenuous relationship in part because China is entangled in a dispute with Japan and other Asian nations in the region over an important trade channel in the South China Sea and China’s attempts to assert its dominion by building islands topped with military installations.

During an interview in February 2016, Bannon expressed alarm about China and Islam as he talked about a Breitbart story proclaiming a mosque at the North Pole, although it was actually in a northern Canadian village hundreds of miles away.

“You have an expansionist Islam, and you have an expansionist China. Right? They are motivated. They’re arrogant.

They’re on the march. And they think the Judeo-Christian West is on the retreat,” he said. “Talk to us about this mosque on the North Pole.”

In January 2016, Bannon discussed threats facing Europe in the 1930s and evaluated Islam alongside fascism and Nazism.

“This is when Europe’s looking down the barrel of fascism — the rise of Mussolini in Italy, Stalin

And obviously Hitler and the Nazis,” he said. “I mean you’re looking at fascism, you’re looking at communism. And to say that — what so blows me away is the timing of it. You could look in 1938 and say, ‘Look, it’s pretty dark here in Europe right now, but there’s something actually much darker. And that is Islam.’ ” Emma Ashford, a research fellow at the Cato Institute, said public statements by other members of Trump’s National Security Council indicate their views are not in alignment with Bannon’s, setting the stage for debate on the council.

“I think it’s very good that there is internal dissent on these issues — particularly when you look at how unorthodox, and frankly repulsive, some of these ideas that Bannon expresses are,” she said. “I think the fact that there’s opposition can only be a good thing.”

The White House did not an-

swer questions from USA TODAY about Bannon’s radio statements.

VIEWS ON IMMIGRATION

Bannon often spoke on his radio show about his concerns over immigration from Muslim-majority countries to Europe and the USA. Many of his concerns are rooted in his perception of cultural differences and sharia, or Islamic religious law.

“These are not Jeffersonian democrats,” he said of immigrants to Europe from Muslimmajority countries in April last year. “These are not people with thousands of years of democracy in their DNA coming up here.”

“I think that most people in the Middle East, at least 50%, believe in being sharia-compliant,” Bannon said in December 2015.

“If you’re sharia-compliant or want to impose sharia law, the United States is the wrong place for you.”

Susan Hennessey, a former lawyer for the National Security Agency, said Bannon appears to misunderstand the basic features

of sharia and seems to use the term “sharia-compliant” as shorthand for observant Muslim.

“Listening to his words carefully, he is saying observant Muslims don’t belong in the U.S. and isn’t modifying that statement to be about immigrants,” she said.

“Plenty of natural-born American citizens are observant Muslims.

Those people are every bit as American as Steve Bannon is, and they have real reason to fear his role in the White House.”

On his radio shows, Bannon often provided figures about immigration from Muslim-majority nations that are either exaggerations of disputed numbers or lack basis in fact. “And some of the statistics are, what, like up to 510% believe in radical — in radical jihad. I’m mean you’re talking literally — they said thousands, hundreds (of ) thousands are coming in. Say the number is 3 million,” he said in April 2016.

“You start to get some pretty big numbers. Particularly if half of these believe in sharia law or over 60%. Right? I mean the numbers are staggering.”

In December 2015, Bannon told a guest he heard 1 million Muslim immigrants would enter the USA in each of the next two years.

“If we didn’t hit the pause button today, is it already locked up that we’re going to be importing at least a couple of million Muslims whatever happens?” The guest agreed, “Absolutely.”

In truth, the Pew Research Center estimates the U.S. Muslim population is 3.3 million and forecasts that it will double — over the next 36 years, not the next few years. About 100,000 Muslims arrived in the USA each of the past few years, Pew said.

‘WE’RE AT WAR’

On Breitbart News Daily, Bannon’s words often centered on the idea of a global clash of civilizations.

“To be brutally frank, I mean Christianity is dying in Europe, and Islam is on the rise,” he said in an interview in January 2016 with a Breitbart reporter.

In November 2015, Bannon told his listeners it was time to have an “adult conversation” about national security.

“Some of these situations may get a little unpleasant,” Bannon said. “But you know what, we’re in a war. We’re clearly going into, I think, a major shooting war in the Middle East again.”

ADMINISTRATION TO ALLOW IN 872 REFUGEES 1,060 green-card holders granted waivers Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday it will allow 872 refugees to enter the country after they were initially barred from flying to the U.S. under President Trump’s executive order on immigration.

Homeland Security began detaining immigrants who arrived at U.S. airports immediately after Trump signed his order Friday evening. The order temporarily suspended the U.S. refugee program and barred entry to most people coming from seven majority Muslim countries — Libya, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen.

By Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it was detaining 109 people affected by the ban. DHS officials say all those people were cleared by Sunday night. But civil rights

groups and immigration advocates say people remained in custody at airports through Monday.

On Tuesday, Kevin McAleenan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), said more than 500,000 foreigners flew into the country in the 72 hours following Trump’s order. He said CBP agents granted waivers to 1,060 green-card holders from the countries affected by Trump’s order.

McAleenan said 75 waivers were granted to other visa holders, including people who had special visas intended for military translators. But he said 721 travelers were stopped from boarding planes headed for the U.S. McAleenan and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly insisted the department was allowed to review drafts of Trump’s order ahead of time.

Kelly denied reports of “chaos” at U.S. airports, arguing that things were running smoothly.

He added that the executive order “is not a ban on Muslims.”

According to the United Nations, about 14,500 refugees who have been screened to come to the USA live in the Dadaab refugee camp, north of the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.

TRUMP BAN WORRIES REFUGEES IN SOMALIA

Many who have prepared to come to the USA are in limbo Christina Goldbaum Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI , KENYA

Nearly 15,000 Somalis who fled their war-torn country to Kenya and planned to resettle in the United States are stuck in the world’s largest refugee camp because President Trump suspended the U.S. asylum program.

They include 137 refugees who just days ago thought they would be boarding flights to the U.S. Now they are gripped with “fear, devastation, worry, panic and heartbrokenness,” said Yvonne Ndege, a spokeswoman for the United Nations refugee agency.

Desperate Somalis had hoped to escape warfare and poverty in their nation. Now those hopes are on hold after Trump signed an executive order Friday that suspended entry of refugees into the U.S. for 120 days.

Ahmed Ismail Shafat, 25, who was born and raised in the Da-

daab refugee camp on the KenyaSomalia border, was supposed to leave Monday for London, then on to Chicago and finally Kansas City, Mo., to be resettled.

Instead, he was part of the group attending a town hall meeting Tuesday with U.N. and U.S. officials at a transit center.

“The refugees who were to be resettled in the U.S. have undergone a very, very rigorous process before being identified for resettlement in the U.S.,” Ndege said.

“They undergo numerous security checks involving several U.S. agencies and are subject to the highest category security checks of any traveler to the U.S.” Shafat, who also was interviewed by officials from the Department of Homeland Security, has gone through a vetting process that took 10 years to complete. “I just got American clothing because I heard the country is very cold,” he said.

“I got a big jacket in the market and told the vendor I would send money for it when I got a job in

America.”

He had hoped to begin work on a college degree in math and get a job on the side to send money back to his mother in the camp.

Many at the transit center had spent the previous week preparing to leave for America, completing medical checkups and getting a cultural orientation of the United States. Suleimn Yussuf Muhumed, 24, was supposed to begin cultural orientation on Friday — the day Trump signed the order.

Muhumed said he heard Ohio “is a very cool place, a very nice place for life, and the people are very welcoming.”

According to the U.N., at least 26,000 refugees in Kenya were in the process of resettlement to the U.S. and are affected by the executive order — 14,500 of them from Dadaab.

Farhiyo Hassan was supposed to fly Tuesday. “My husband is there already,” Farhiyo said.

“I was feeling so happy, so good that I could go, but now I don’t know what is happening.”

SENATE CONFIRMS CHAO FOR TRANSPORTATION POST

The Senate confirmed Elaine Chao as secretary of transportation on a 93-6 vote Tuesday.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., who heads the committee that reviewed Chao’s nomination, said she has a momentous opportunity to improve safety and innovation, grow the freight network and advance improvements for infrastructure so that rural and urban communities all benefit.

“It would be hard to come up with a more qualified nominee than Secretary Chao for this important role,” Thune said. “Secretary Chao has repeatedly proven her willingness to roll up her sleeves to address the challenges facing our nation.”

— Bart Jansen SAN FRANCISCO SUES OVER SANCTUARY CITY ORDER

The city of San Francisco filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging President Trump’s executive order that directs the federal government to withhold money from so-called sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agents.

The lawsuit, filed by San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera in U.S. District Court in Northern California, marks the first court challenge over the

sanctuary order filed by one of the targeted cities since Trump unveiled his order last week.

“The president’s executive order is not only unconstitutional, it’s un-American,” Herrera said.

“That is why we must stand up and oppose it. We are a nation of immigrants and a land of laws.”

The term “sanctuary city” is a broad term that describes hundreds of communities around the U.S. that have adopted policies protecting the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.

— Aamer Madhani TRUMP POSTPONES CYBERSECURITY ORDER

President Trump postponed the signing of an executive order on cyber security Tuesday, despite a White House messaging blitz on the issue and a signing ceremony on the schedule.

Trump even talked up action on cyber security during a “listening session” with experts in the Roosevelt Room, saying he was fulfilling a campaign promise to secure the nation’s computer networks.

The canceled signing ceremony is an indication that after a blitz of executive action in his first 10 days, Trump has begun to hit roadblocks in his attempts to govern by executive order.

The university student accused of murdering six people at a Quebec City mosque is a fan of Katy Perry, President Trump and French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen, posted anti-feminist comments on social media and dressed as the Grim Reaper for Halloween.

Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, made a brief court appearance late Monday but did not enter a plea to six counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder.

No terrorism charges were filed, yet Canadian prosecutor Thomas Jacques said the investigation is continuing and that more charges are possible.

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said Tuesday that government human services departments are aiding families of the victims. He also said it would be a mistake to believe that racism and Islamophobia doesn’t exist in Quebec, adding that those beliefs are held by a small minority.

What is worrying, he said, is an increased acceptance of racist views. “Quebequers are a caring, loving people,” Couillard said.

“When we talk about issues like how we live together and immigration, I know we will talk about positive values first. Inclusion, brotherhood.”

Bissonnette studied social sciences at Université Laval, not far from the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec where he is accused of conducting his bloody shooting spree Sunday during evening prayers. The victims included a butcher, a pharmacist and a professor. Some were African immigrants, some fathers.

The Canadian refugee advocacy group Welcome to Refugees said on its Facebook page that Bissonnette was known for his anti-feminist positions on social media. Posts on Bissonnette’s Facebook page, no longer active, showed he “liked” Trump and Le Pen, donned the Grim Reaper costume in October and was a fan of Perry and Megadeth.

JACQUES BOISSINOT, AP

“He was a pro-Israel and pro-Trump guy.

He didn’t have his arms open to immigrants, you could say. He was against all gun control.”

Jean-Michel Allard Prus, who worked with the suspect at Université Laval

“He was not overtly racist or Islamophobic, but he had borderline misogynist, Islamophobic viewpoints,” Vincent Boissonneault, an international studies student at Université Laval, told the Montreal Gazette. “Unfortunately, that’s become more or less acceptable these days.”

Jean-Michel Allard Prus told Vice Media he once participated in a group project with Bissonnette at Laval.

“He was a pro-Israel and proTrump guy,” Allard Prus said. “He didn’t have his arms open to immigrants, you could say. He was against all gun control. He could have been a perfect Republican.”

Bissonnette, who lived with his twin brother in an apartment near the mosque, worked for the blood donor organization Héma-

Alexandre Bissonnette is escorted to a van Monday in Quebec City after appearing in court for a deadly shooting at a mosque.

Québec. Héma-Québec issued a statement expressing sympathy to the families of the victims.

“As an organization whose primary mission is dedicated to the gift of life, these events have sent a shock wave through the organization,” the statement said.

Quebec City, with a population of more than 500,000 people, has averaged fewer than five murders over the last several years. Baltimore, with a population of just over 600,000 people, had more than 300 murders last year alone.

A vigil in Quebec City on Monday night drew thousands; hundreds more gathered to pay their respects in Montreal.

Since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s party won election in 2015, Canada has admitted 39,000 Syrian refugees. The assault occurred amid a global uproar this weekend over Trump’s ban on admitting into the United States refugees and immigrants from Syria and six other majority-Muslim countries.

On Saturday, after Trump’s controversial executive order was issued, Trudeau tweeted: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada“ Contributing: Adam Kovac in Quebec City.

INVESTING ASK A FOOL

Market frays investing nerves

Price: $33.43 Day’s high: $33.69 Low: $32.19

Q: Is bond investing safer than buying stocks?

Dan Caplinger The Motley Fool

A: Many investors use a balanced approach, dividing up their investment portfolios between stocks and bonds in order to manage risk. Bonds have a reputation for being safer than stocks, but both bonds and stocks have their own kinds of risk.

The primary benefit of a bond is that the income it pays is predictable. Most bonds make fixed interest payments on a regular basis and then pay back your principal when they mature.

There’s a risk that the bond issuer won’t be able to repay the bond when it matures, but you can manage that risk by choosing more creditworthy issuers.

Change -$1.10

However, just because payments are predictable doesn’t mean you can’t lose money with bonds. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and they tend to lose value when rates rise. That doesn’t matter if you own an individual bond and hold it until it matures. But many investors use bond funds to invest, and the share price of those bond funds can fall dramatically if interest rates rise substantially.

More importantly, investing solely in bonds offers lower returns than the stock market has produced over the long run. If you’re looking to make the purchasing power of your portfolio grow over time, the danger with bonds is that you won’t find sufficient returns without buying bonds from issuers that are more likely to default.

Walmart eyes Amazon with free two-day shipping Service now available to all customers Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Upping the ante in the retail shipping wars, Walmart scrapped a subscription program that gave members free two-day delivery in order to make the service available to all of its customers.

Walmart shares were up 0.5% Tuesday, closing at $66.74.

Walmart customers shopping for items ranging from pet food to peanut butter will be able to get

those items delivered to their homes within two days at no extra cost for a minimum purchase of $35, Walmart said. If they have the products delivered to a local store, customers don’t need to meet a spending threshold.

The move comes as Walmart, with its empire of superstores, struggles to find a formula to head off Amazon, which continues to grow as an online retailer. Amazon heavily promotes its offers of Amazon Prime, which charges $10.99 a month or $99 a year, for unlimited two-day ship-

ping along with other perks.

Walmart previously offered free two-day shipping to customers who paid a $49 fee to participate in Shipping Pass, a subscription service it was piloting. But that program is going away, and subscribers will get their fees refunded.

Explaining the reason for the change, Marc Lore, CEO of Walmart eCommerce U.S., said in a conference call two-day shipping is now expected by customers.

And “we don’t think it’s necessary to charge a membership for it.’’

Previously, those who were not part of the Shipping Pass program could get free shipping when they purchased at least $50 worth of items, with a delivery window of four to six days.

Nearly 2 million of Walmart’s most popular products will qualify for its newly expanded offer of free two-day shipping.

“We think this is going to dramatically accelerate growth,” Lore said. “There won’t be too many products that you’ll want that won’t be available for twoday shipping.”

Special for USA TODAY

“It was a little, bitty oneroom church, right up the hill from Highway 69,” remembers Reba McEntire, 61. “Then there was the cattle guard. You go past that, up the hill and there was our house.”

The country music superstar is remembering the Chockie Church, just steps away from where she grew up in Chockie, Okla. By her estimation, it held only 30 or so congregants, yet its effect on her lingers. Even after selling more than 56 million albums worldwide, winning multiple industry awards and being welcomed into the Country Music Hall of Fame, she revisits that modest place often in her memory and her music.

“Grandma and Grandpa Smith hit that church every Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night,” she continues. “When I stayed with them, that’s where we wound up. My favorite times to go there were when everybody would bring a dish and then after the service we’d all go out to the tables. They were full of food … and us McEntire kids, we loved to eat!”

Reba’s calendar is always full, too. These days, she’s gearing up for her first headline performances at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium Feb. 15. And she’s starting work on a new onehour ABC drama.

Still, why did she she wait until now to record Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, some 40 years after releasing her self-titled debut album? Not surprisingly, her reasons are rooted in

JUSTIN MCINTOSH FOR REBA’S BUSINESS, INC.

Reba McEntire’s new album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, is out Friday.

“This isn’t just entertainment.

It’s not a country album.

It’s deeper than that.” family. “My sister Susie is a gospel singer,” she explains. “I was the country singer.”

The CD subtitled “Faith” opens with her singing a solo Jesus Loves Me. The song has special significance to her. “Su-

sie and I used to go fishing with Grandpa,” she remembers. “Then Grandma would tell us Bible stories and we’d sing Jesus Loves Me.” There’s another reason: It was also the first tune she got paid to sing in public. “I got a nickel for it,” she recalls with a grin.

In contrast, contemporary songs fill the second disc, “Hope,” buttressed by orchestral instruments, choruses and other hallmarks of modern country arrangements.

With appearances by Reba’s daughter-in-law, Kelly Clarkson, and friend Trisha Yearwood, Sing It Now takes on an even more personal meaning. At the same time, her hopes for how it might move listeners are greater than those

she has had for other projects.

“I think it was more heartfelt on these songs,” she says. “That’s not to say a country song is not heartfelt, but this is more more spiritual, more about my relationship with God.” “This isn’t just entertainment,” she emphasizes. “It’s not a country album. It’s deeper than that.

It’s about changing lives. It’s a message from God. That’s why I’m here, not to be rich and famous and popular but to help people. I’m the conduit or, as I call it, the water hose. That’s what God wanted me to be when He gave me this voice: I’m supposed to stand up and give His message. If I can touch just one person, that’s worth the whole project.”

Bruce Springsteen’s stage slide. Prince’s white sheet.

Beyoncé’s bullet belt. An artist’s Super Bowl halftime performance is one of their career’s most enduring moments — which, as Janet Jackson’s Nipplegate controversy proved, isn’t always a good thing.

On Sunday, it’s Lady Gaga’s turn. Her upcoming halftime performance at Super Bowl LI bookends a year of high-profile gigs for the star, who sang the national anthem at the 2016 Super Bowl before performances at last year’s Grammys, Oscars and Victoria’s Secret Fashion show.

Gaga’s Super Bowl appearance is also the culmination of her years-long image makeover, as she’s transitioned from a costumed pop provocateur to a rock ’n’ roll-loving, Tony Bennett-collaborating image of mainstream accessibility.

Here are valuable lessons she can learn from past Super Bowl performers.

INSET, BONO BY KEVIN MAZUR, WIREIMAGE; JEFF KRAVITZ, FILMMAGIC

In recent live shows, Lady Gaga’s pop hits have undergone guitar-heavy makeovers. Perhaps a duet with a classic rock icon?

1 KEEP THINGS PG

The NFL has invited its share of rebels to the halftime show.

Sometimes, the gamble pays off, like Prince’s suggestive-yet-electrifying 2007 performance. In cases like Janet Jackson’s nip slip in 2004, it didn’t. Lady Gaga is no stranger to controversy. But in recent years, she has cleaned up her act. Artists who violate decency standards risk heavy penalties, from the NFL’s $16.6 million lawsuit against M.I.A. for flipping the bird during Madonna’s 2012 set to Jackson’s FCC controversy and damaged public image. Gaga would be wise to extend her clean streak into her Super Bowl show.

2 TREAD CAREFULLY

If Lady Gaga wants to incite riots, she can learn from Beyoncé, who courted controversy by performing her political anthem Formation last year backed by dancers in Black Panther-referencing costumes. The NFL has debunked rumors it forbade Gaga from making political statements, so it’s unknown whether the star will use her platform to speak out against President Trump. For a more inclusive message, she might look to U2’s 2002 performance. With the nation still reeling from the 9/11 attacks, the band sang Where the Streets Have No Name in front of a scrolling

Super Bowl performers often invite guests, whether to incorporate a different genre or to make the show more memorable. But the wrong cameo can sink a set. 2001’s star-studded lineup of Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Nelly, Mary J. Blige and ’N Sync inspired too many celebrityclogged performances in the following years. Sometimes, the guest star feels laughably random, like the Black Eyed Peas inviting Slash onstage in 2011. The best guest appearances largely play on an element of surprise.

Inviting a classic rock icon would complement Gaga’s performance.

SOMETIMES, SIMPLE BEST 4WORKS

Lady Gaga can learn something else from rock performers of Super Bowls past. Many of the past decade’s best halftime shows have focused less on filling the stage with cameos, and more on the performances themselves. Inventive staging can make all the difference, from U2’s evocative backdrop to Prince’s iconic white sheet. And as Bruce Springsteen proved in 2009, a successful halftime show can be as simple as a world-class band, a dynamic vocalist and a well-placed camera.

In House, battle begins over who pays for water fund

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Western Kansas farmers who irrigate their land are about to find themselves in the center of an intense political battle over who should help pay for a long list of expensive projects over the next 50 years aimed at extending the life of the state’s water resources.

That’s because those farmers, who account for an estimated 80-85 percent of all the water used in Kansas, currently pay nothing into a state fund that pays for those projects.

And as Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is seeking an additional $43 million a year for the State Water Plan Fund, many lawmakers are now

insisting that irrigators start paying something.

“I think there’s a majority of members on the committee that are interested in having them pay,” said Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, who chairs the new House Committee on Water and the Environment.

Sloan’s committee has been tasked with finding a way to fund a long-term “vision” for preserving the state’s water resources that was put together by a special task force that Brownback appointed in 2013.

That task force produced its report in January 2015, and since then, another “blue ribbon” task force has been working on a proposal to fund it.

That funding proposal, which was released in

January, calls for carving out one-tenth of a percent of the state’s existing sales tax, or a little more than $43 million a year, and dedicating that to the State Water Plan Fund.

The panel also proposed enacting that through a constitutional amendment so the money could not be swept or transferred for any other purpose.

Although that plan has support from many cities and other groups interested in the water plan, it hasn’t gained much traction among legislators, who say the state is having a hard enough time funding basic government services with the revenue it has now.

On Tuesday, the committee heard testimony on an alternative plan that would increase all of the

current fees going into the water plan, doubling the fee charged to customers of municipal water systems to 6 cents per 1,000 gallons of water they use each month, and raising the other types of fees.

But it made no mention of levying a fee on irrigation use.

“I see a lot of fee increases in here for everybody but the largest users of water. How come that’s not included in there?” said Rep. Joe Seiwert, R-Pretty Prairie.

Doug Mays, a former House Speaker who now lobbies on behalf of rural water districts, said those districts opposed any fee increases without requiring some participation from irrigators.

“It would not be fair to

Man arrested, accused of sexual abuse

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A 41-year-old man is accused of sexually abusing a person who was incapable of consenting, court documents say.

On Friday, Brian Kelly Sumpter was booked into the Douglas County Jail, according to the county’s online booking logs. He faces a single felony count of aggra-

vated criminal sodomy.

According to the logs, Sumpter is a transient man with ties to Topeka.

Sumpter was transferred to Douglas County from the Hutchinson Correctional Facility, where he was serving a prison sentence stemming from two 2013 drug convictions, according to the Kansas Department of Correction’s online offender registry.

Sumpter is accused of

sodomizing a 40-year-old who was unable to give consent either “because of mental deficiency or disease” or “because of the effect of any alcoholic liquor, narcotic, drug or other substance,” according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court. The reported crime took place on Aug. 14, 2016.

In January 2002, Sumpter was convicted in Lyon County of felony

ask our water system customers, both urban and rural, to absorb higher fees while those who are responsible for over 80 percent of the consumption of water in Kansas pay zero percent,” he said.

Kent Askern of the Kansas Farm Bureau argued that farmers do contribute to the plan because many of them are customers of the rural water districts that levy the fees, although those fees only apply to the domestic water they use in their homes.

The State Water Plan Fund, which was established in 1989, currently gets about $12 million a year in various fees levied on residential and commercial water bills, on farm chemicals and fertilizers, and on stockwater usage.

Those fees currently raise about $12.5 million a year. In addition, though, by statute, the state is supposed to add $6 million each year from the state general fund, plus another $2 million a year from lottery proceeds. But those transfers have not occurred for the last several years as lawmakers, in the face of revenue shortfalls, have elected to keep that money in the general fund.

The bill on which the committee heard testimony Tuesday would raise only about $6 million a year in new money, far less than what the Brownback administration is seeking.

Sloan said the committee will hear testimony next week on another bill that would levy a water usage fee on irrigators.

BRIEFLY County to consider anti-Zika proposal Douglas County commissioners will be presented today with a proposal intended to reduce the risk of spreading the Zika virus.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s Bureau of Waste Management has received Zika Virus Mitigation Funds to share with the state’s most populous counties. The funds are meant to reduce the number of waste tires in which mosquitoes carrying the virus can breed.

The program makes available $1,000 to advertise a waste tire amnesty and another $10,000 to properly dispose of waste tires. A report from the county’s Sustainability Department states that waste tires are a concern of the Douglas County Zoning and Codes Department, which has identified properties with large numbers of used tires.

The report notes, however, that it is difficult to enforce code violations involving tires and that it’s expensive for property owners to dispose of them at a cost of $2 per car tire and $15 per tractor tire.

The proposal before commissioners would have the county advertise the waste tire amnesty and contact landowners about the no-cost disposal. It would also establish a oneday drop-off event with

a limit of seven tires per county household.

The Douglas County Commission meets at 4 p.m. today at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. A complete meeting agenda can be viewed at douglascountyks.org.

KU football expects 12 additions

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Beating Baylor tougher than ever

In order for the Kansas football team to continue on its measured upward trajectory in head coach David Beaty’s third season in Lawrence, the Jayhawks will have to carry on with improving their depth and talent in 2017.

They’ll join eight December signees, giving Kansas a 2017 class ranked 57th nationally by Rivals, and ninth in the Big 12, ahead of in-state adversary Kansas State.

Here’s a look at the 11 prep talents and one junior college prospect who plan to sign with Kansas.

Earl Bostick (OL or DL): The

newest KU football recruit, the 6-foot-6, 260-pound lineman from Barnwell, S.C., just committed this past weekend. Bostick, rated a two-star prospect

by Rivals, hopes to make an impact on the interior, either on the offensive or defensive line.

hese aren’t your older brother’s Baylor Bears. You remember them. Long, tall, sometimes spectacular big men who at other times sat back in a passive 2-3 zone as Kansas picked them apart.

You remember the games in which they would fall way behind Kansas and showed no urgency in getting after it with presses or other means to shake things up, instead just fading away.

Now forget them.

Young coaches do improve and that can mean doing a better job of vetting the desire in players they decide to recruit, which in turn leads to a more solid winning culture passed down from veterans to younger players, etc.

Scott Drew, in his 14th year at Baylor, has taken two teams to the Elite Eight, and this is his best team.

The Bears made it to No. 1 in the Associated Press college basketball poll released Jan. 9, so naturally the curse of the new No. 1 dictated that they suffered their first, and to-date only, loss of the season, by 21 points at West Virginia.

So ended the school’s first week atop the college basketball world.

No other school had gone from unranked to No. 1 as swiftly as Baylor did by reaching the top in Week 9 of the poll. That happens when a team is greater than the sum of its parts, and the parts on this team are good, led by do-it-all, 6-foot-10 forward Johnathan Motley and stretching from clutch point guard Manu Lecomte to 7-foot center Jo LualAcuil.

Drew mixes defenses, playing more man-to-man than in the past.

Per kenpom.com efficiency rankings, Baylor is fifth in the nation in defense and 20th in offense, compared to KU’s rankings of 30th in defense and fifth in offense.

As for an overall strength rating, kenpom.com has Baylor No. 7 in the nation with a computer-generated number of 27.10 and has Kansas No. 8 at 27.09, the closest of any two schools to each other.

The Associated Press poll has Baylor No. 2 in the nation with 1,504 votes, Kansas No. 3 with 1,503, again, the closest of any two teams in the rankings.

They share first place in the Big 12 with 7-1 records, playing each of the other conference teams once.

So let’s break the virtual statistical tie between the tips that will tip it off today at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse by using comparative scores.

In its eight Big 12 games, Kansas has a margin of plus-43. Baylor also has a plus-43 margin.

KU’s 50-game Allen Fieldhouse winning streak makes Kansas the six-point favorite in Las Vegas. The Bears are 0-14 in the fieldhouse. But remember, these aren’t your older brother’s Baylor Bears.

On today’s National Signing Day, the Jayhawks hope to make another advancement in that direction, with 12 recruits expected to make their commitments to the program official.

The group includes additions to KU’s offensive line, secondary, linebacking unit, receiving corps, one specialist and a highly touted running back.

KANSAS FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS, RIGHT, CATCHES A PASS INSIDE against Texas Tech forward Matthew Temple on Jan. 7 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Lucas carries huge load for Jayhawks

By Matt Tait

e’s coached him for five years, started him for part of three of those and seen him develop into an absolute rock on and off the court.

But it was not until Monday’s weekly Kansas basketball press conference that Kansas coach Bill Self revealed a bit of a nickname

for senior forward Landen Lucas.

“He’s like your binky or your security blanket,” Self said of KU’s 6-foot-10, 250-pound big man. “I mean, he’s a guy that no matter how bad we want to (play someone else over him and) think, you know what, if we could just get somebody else, we haven’t found anybody as good or better. He’s been good. I mean, he’s been really good.”

A starter for 48 career games, including 15 of 20 this season, Lucas’ role with the Jayhawks often has been easy to overlook. There’s nothing flashy about his game. His offense is slow and methodical and lacks the explosive element that lands on SportsCenter. And defensively, even though his ability to wall up and alter shots has turned him into one of the best big-man defenders in the country, Lucas’ in-

ability to consistently block shots into the fifth row also has kept him a little under the radar.

Self’s plans for Lucas to develop into a program player when he recruited him have been well documented, and it’s possible that neither Self nor Lucas ever really saw him becoming the vital piece of the puzzle that he is today.

But that time has arrived.

No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks (19-2 overall, 7-1 Big 12) vs. No. 2 Baylor Bears (20-1 overall, 7-1 Big 12)

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

190-pound corner’s standout sophomore season at Highland Community College netted Cole a three-star rating and reported offers from Iowa State and Minnesota, as well. With Kansas losing three starters in the secondary, Cole’s experience could prove useful.

Jay Dineen (LB): A high school playmaker right in KU’s back yard, the twostar Free State linebacker received interest from other college programs.

Dineen, though, opted to join some linebackers he knows well: his older brother, Joe, and Keith Loneker Jr. Both played at FSHS, as did two of Jay’s former prep teammates, KU’s Bryce Torneden and Sam Skwarlo.

Joey Gilbertson (OL): The 6-4, 290-pound offensive tackle from Wichita Northwest intrigued KU O-line coach Zach Yenser with the way he fires off the ball on snaps. Gilbert, a twostar prospect, committed to KU back in June of 2016, after attending the Jayhawks’ Friday Night Lights camp.

Quan Hampton (WR): His measurements read 5-8, 165 pounds, but this three-star receiver from Texarkana, Texas, can sky. With a 40-inch vertical, Hampton, a prep basketball player, as well, possesses the athleticism to make up for his relative lack of size on the football field.

Liam Jones (K): A two-star specialist from Chocktaw, Okla., Jones could end up playing a factor in KU’s kicking game immediately, with Matthew Wyman’s days of handling kickoffs, extra points and field goals through.

Travis Jordan (WR/ athlete): One of the first Class of 2017 recruits to get on board with Beaty and Kansas, the threestar prep from Marrero, La., committed nearly 10 months ago. Listed at 6-1, 185 pounds, the threestar receiver was the first prospect landed by running backs coach Tony Hull.

Cooper Root (LB): One of four Sunflower State recruits on KU’s signing day list, the two-star linebacker from Wichita Collegiate led his team with 77 total tackles as a senior. Root, like Jay Dineen, hopes to impact a linebacking unit that loses Marcquis Roberts and Courtney Arnick.

Kenyon Tabor (WR): A three-star, in-state prospect who also had an offer from K-State, the Derby receiver helped lead his team to a Class 6A state championship.

At 6-4, 215 pounds, Tabor could have the physical tools to reinforce an already strong group of KU receivers.

Robert Topps (CB): The idea of playing at KU for defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and trying to replicate the success of former Bowen pupil Aqib Talib was enough to inspire the 6-2, 185-pound corner to join the Jayhawks. A threestar recruit from Chicago, Topps received offers from 15 other Division I programs.

Dominic Williams (RB): Way back in September of 2015, the Frisco, Texas, running back became the first member of this year’s class. And, according to his four-star status, the 5-9, 186-pound Williams is the man most capable of impacting KU’s on-field product soon. In the previous two recruiting classes, only safety Mike Lee earned four stars.

Takulve Williams (WR): A two-star New Orleans receiver, Takulve Williams (5-11, 180), like Jordan, decided to leave Louisiana for the midwest after hearing Hull’s recruiting pitch.

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Gotta score 70 (or more)

Get in the zone

Mental toughness

Baylor’s seven Big 12 victories all had one thing in common — the Bears’ opponent did not reach the 70-point mark when the final horn sounded. Kansas, which enters the game averaging 84.3 points per game, has shown no problem scoring at home this season and tends to play at its best when running the floor, firing away from 3-point range and putting points on the board. Doing so against Baylor, which leads the Big 12 in scoring defense (61.1 points per game against, tied for 7th nationally), will be among the Jayhawks’ biggest challenges this season. “A lot of times teams have an identity,” KU coach Bill Self said Monday. “We’re still trying to find ours, but their team identity is they don’t let people score. That is what they do. So we’re going to have to run really good offense.” Baylor’s lone Big 12 loss came against West Virginia, which dropped 89 points on the Bears. And BU’s close call at Ole Miss in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge last weekend saw Mississippi reach 75 points.

Given the fact that the Jayhawks have played some form of zone defense in the past two games, it seems likely that Kansas could make it three in a row against Baylor. Whether that’s a traditional 2-3 zone, something more gimmicky, like a box-and-one or triangle-andtwo, or even some sort of match-up zone that shows different looks and aims to confuse the offense, the Jayhawks’ ability to change defenses and avoid relying too heavily on their preferred man-to-man D figures to be a factor in this one. It may only be a few possessions here and there and it may come only if the Jayhawks get behind and need to find a spark to change things up the way they did with the 2-3 zone at Kentucky. Either way, KU has proven that it is both willing and able to manage playing a variety of zone defenses and in games as big as this one, the ability to shift to zone to protect against foul trouble and eliminate the effects of fatigue could be an advantage for the ever-evolving Jayhawks.

Kansas big man Landen Lucas did a masterful job of slowing down and standing up to Kentucky freshman Bam Adebayo during the Jayhawks’ victory over the Wildcats last weekend. His reward? An upcoming battle with yet another ultra-talented big man in Baylor’s Johnathan Motley. Motley, who leads the Big 12 in offensive and defensive rebounding and ranks fifth in the conference in scoring (16.2 points per game), brings an entirely different skill set to the table than Adebayo. Gifted in more ways than one, Motley will force Lucas to play both in the paint and away from the basket and his ability to hold up — both in terms of foul trouble and fatigue — could go a long way toward determining the outcome of this Big 12 showdown. “Anybody that has had games where he’s had 30 (points) and 20 (rebounds) in a game tells you how talented he is,” Self said. “That’s hard to do.

But he can score. He can rebound. He can do a lot of different things, and he can face and shoot. He’s a great passer. And certainly he can score with his back to the basket.

It’ll be a big challenge for Landen and our other big guys.”

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Johnathan Motley vs. Landen Lucas

It’s rare that the game after Kansas-Kentucky can have more meaning and more impact on the KU faithful, but it’s possible that this one will. Mired in a stretch of big, high-profile intense games, the Jayhawks are back in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time in nearly two weeks and will be playing for their familiar spot in the Big 12 driver’s seat. That alone makes this a big one. But we’ve seen supposed big games between Kansas and Baylor turn into duds before. What makes this one bigger is the fact that it’s just the fourth Top 5 showdown at Allen Fieldhouse in the Self era and the Bears are just the eighth Top 5 team to come into Lawrence during that same time. The three other Top 5 clashes during that stretch — all Kansas victories — include: No. 2 KU knocking off No. 5 K-State in 2010; the final Border War game with Missouri in 2012; and last season’s triple-overtime thriller with Oklahoma. The belief within the program is that last weekend’s blue-blood battle in the Bluegrass State was the perfect primer for another big time Big 12 battle. “I think it’s good to play a good team like Kentucky to get prepared for Baylor,” KU senior Frank Mason III said. “Even though they play different, I think it’s still great that we got a chance to go against the size that Kentucky has and we (got) to experience that before we actually play Baylor.”

Kansas big man Landen Lucas did a masterful job of slowing down and standing up to Kentucky freshman Bam Adebayo during the Jayhawks’ victory over the Wildcats last weekend. His reward? An upcoming battle with yet another ultra-talented big man in Baylor’s Johnathan Motley. Motley, who leads the Big 12 in offensive and defensive rebounding and ranks fifth in the conference in scoring (16.2 points per game), brings an entirely different skill set to the table than Adebayo. Gifted in more ways than one, Motley will force Lucas to play both in the paint and away from the basket and his ability to hold up — both in terms of foul trouble and fatigue — could go a long way toward determining the outcome of this Big 12 showdown. “Anybody that has had games where he’s had 30 (points) and 20 (rebounds) in a game tells you how talented he is,” Self said. “That’s hard to do. But he can score. He can rebound. He can do a lot of different things, and he can face and shoot. He’s a great passer. And certainly he can score with his back to the basket. It’ll be a big challenge for Landen and our other big guys.”

PROBABLE STARTERS No. 3 KANSAS G – Frank Mason III, 5-11, 190, Sr. G – Devonté Graham, 6-2, 185, Jr. G – Josh Jackson, 6-8, 207, Fr. G – Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, 6-8, 205, Jr. F – Landen Lucas, 6-10, 250, Sr.

Lucas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

It’s going on two years now. And it will be as important as ever at Allen Fieldhouse tonight, when Lucas and the third-ranked Jayhawks play host to No. 2 Baylor at 8 p.m., with the winner moving into sole-possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference.

“Landen is a guy that, when we recruited him, we thought could be a rotation guy in time,” Self reiterated on Monday. “I talked to his dad, I talked to Landen (and said), we’ll redshirt him freshman year, won’t play him.

Maybe by the time the end of his sophomore year he can be in the rotation. Well, by the end of his sophomore year, he was a starter, and then last year he wasn’t a starter. We were looking kind of for something else, and what did we come back to? Landen. This year he was starting, and then we kind of went a different direction because we didn’t think he was playing very well, and what did we come back to?

Landen.

“I mean that with all sincerity and seriousness and in a complimentary way towards Landen, but when you coach at a place like Kansas or Duke or North Carolina or Kentucky, you’re always thinking recruit

these high, high-level guys, and you want to do that. But sometimes when you recruit high, high-level guys, people forget they’ve still got to beat out somebody that’s damned good, that’s been here and experienced and that kind of stuff.”

Lucas is that guy. And even though he operates with an even-keeled demeanor and is not the type of player who needs the extra pat on the back or super-sized headlines to do his job, Self said it was worth noting that Lucas has been one of the more under-appreciated Jayhawks to play in the Big 12 during recent years.

“I told our guys after the (Kentucky) game, I said, ‘You know what, if I tell you I’m proud of you, you’ll mistake kindness for softness, so I’m not going to do it, OK?,’” Self began.

“It’s the same way with him. I probably don’t tell him as much, but he’s as appreciated as any kid that we’ve ever had here. He’s smart. He’s so good with (the media). He’s intelligent. He has done everything we’ve asked him to do, even when the fan base may get onto him because he can’t finish as well and all this stuff, but he just keeps coming back.”

On a team with a national-player-of-the-year candidate, in Frank Mason III, and potential freshman-of-the-year contender, in Josh Jackson, Lucas has emerged

No. 2 BAYLOR G – Manu Lecomte, 5-11, 175, Jr. G – Al Freeman, 6-3, 200, Jr. G – Ish Wainright, 6-5, 235, Sr. F – Johnathan Motley, 6-10, 230, Jr. F – Jo Lual-Acquil Jr., 7-0, 220, Jr.

as arguably the most important player in a Kansas uniform.

A big part of the reason for that is KU’s lack of depth at the position he plays. But to leave it at that is to undersell Lucas’ importance. Kansas will need him big time tonight against Baylor, which brings 6-10 junior Johnathan Motley and 7-foot junior Jo LualAcuil Jr., among others, to Lawrence looking to use

their size, athleticism and length to seize temporary control of the Big 12 race.

Mason, Devonté Graham, Josh Jackson and other Jayhawks no doubt will factor into the outcome. But because of Baylor’s strengths and KU’s lack of depth, it’s hard to make a case for any of them being as critical as Lucas.

And even though the identity and strengths of KU’s opponents will

change the rest of the way, it’s hard to imagine the Jayhawks’ reliance on Lucas shifting much at all.

“Who would have ever thought we would have recruited a guy that everybody would say, ‘How are you going to win if Landen gets two fouls in the first half,’” said Self, incredulously.

“That’s how important he is to us.

So that’s about as complimentary as I can be towards anybody.”

FSHS boys, LHS girls come out on top SCOREBOARD in Lawrence High bowling triangular Middle School

EIGHTH-GRADE BOYS Tuesday at Leavenworth WEST 45, PATTON 33 West highlights: Thalain Simpson 14 points; Jainte Neal 10 points; Kris Daniels 7 points.

West record: 3-3. Next for West: Thursday at Leavenworth Warren.

WEST B 34, PATTON B 32 West highlights: Matt Gabriel 14 points; Kristain Harrits 8 points.

West B record: 3-3. Next for West: Thursday at Leavenworth Warren.

Last time the Free State boys bowling team competed at Royal Crest Lanes, it had to overcome a slow start in order to take first place.

This time, it was quite the opposite.

Free State bowled an 887 in the opening game — the highest score of any round by any team — on its way to topping Lawrence High by 33 pins Tuesday at the LHS triangular.

The Firebirds were led by sophomore Bayn Schrader’s 664 series, which was the second best individual score of the triangular. Schrader sparked the quick start by bowling a career-best 259 in the first game.

“The first six balls I threw were strikes,” Schrader said. “I had two spares and the rest were strikes (in the first game).

It felt pretty good.”

Schrader said the key to his big day was hitting his marks and adjusting when he didn’t. Even when he missed, he still managed to throw strikes, which fueled his confidence.

Schrader had help, as senior Alex Jimenez placed fifth among individual bowlers with a 629 series. As a result, the Firebirds were able to top the Lions despite junior Javier Lemmons’ big day.

LAWRENCE HIGH BOWLERS DIAMONIQUE VANN, left, and Hannah Reed prepare to roll during a tri with Free State and Shawnee Mission Northwest on Tuesday at Royal Crest Lanes.

Lemmons bowled the top individual score with a 683 series, but it wasn’t quite enough for the Lions to top their crosstown rival.

“We were competitive, they just were a bit (better),” Lawrence High coach Paula Bastemeyer said. “Losing by 33 pins on your own lane is annoying. Because we know these lanes, the kids know these lanes.”

On the girls’ side, Lawrence High topped Free State by 198 pins to win its third consecutive tournament. Morgan Daniels led the Lions with a 621 series and was the top individual bowler.

“It’s awesome,” Dan-

iels said. “It feels great to know you won out of the sixty or so players.”

The Lions also had two more bowlers place in the top five. Holly Evans was second with a 604 series, and Diamonique Vann placed fifth with a 529 series.

“All three of these girls that I’ve got in these top spots of varsity are competitors,” Bastemeyer said. “They know when to show up. They encourage one another and they fight together.”

FSHS entered the final game in third place, but the team surged into second place by bowling a 783 to close the triangular. Morgan Wright led

the Firebirds in the final round with a 258, and Nicole Miele was the teams’ top bowler of the day with a 539 series.

The Firebirds haven’t won a tournament this year, and they’ve placed second in all five of them.

Coach Burton Gepford isn’t discouraged, however, by the results. Instead, he said he was encouraged as he searches for his best lineup.

“To continue to switch bowlers up and down and still take second place (is nice),” Gepford said. “I’m looking forward to the end of the season when I’ve got my top bowlers all on the same team.”

AREA HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP J-W Staff Reports

Seabury boys roll past Hyman Brand, 66-40 Even without a number of its regular players, Bishop Seabury’s boys basketball team rolled past Hyman Brand, 66-40, in Tuesday’s home meeting. The Seahawks have now won nine consecutive games, since losing back-to-back contests on Dec. 9 and Dec. 10.

Bishop Seabury (12-2, ranked No. 3 in class 2A) used most of its usual junior-varsity lineup in the team’s lopsided victory.

Three players notched double figures for the Seahawks, as Cobe Green paced the team with 19 points. Chris Green and Amir Shami scored 17 and 10, respectively.

The Seahawks will play host to Troy at 7:30 p.m.

second overtime after he fouled out.

But the celebration was short lived after reflecting on their win in the locker room. Free State coach Sam Stroh was disappointed by his team’s defense prior to the comeback and some execution in the overtimes.

“I told them this is not time to celebrate,” Stroh said. “This a tough league any night, anyone can win, and we’ve got our work cut out for us down the stretch. It’s time to refocus tomorrow at practice.”

The seventh-ranked Firebirds (8-4, 4-0 in Sunflower League) held

a 21-point fourth quarter rally, Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team fell to Manhattan CHIEF, 6968, in overtime at home on Tuesday.

The Eagles (5-11) were outscored through the first three periods, including an eight-point difference in the third quarter.

Then in final quarter, Veritas outscored its opposition, 21-10, to force overtime.

Tucker Flory led the Eagles with 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Trey Husling joined his teammate in double figures with 17 points, while Kammal Dowdell added 10.

Veritas will travel to WAHAA at 7:30 p.m Friday.

With the win, the Kaws are now 7-6 on the year, including consecutive double-digit victories.

Junior Canaan Daniels netted a team-high 16 points at home Tuesday.

Senior Isaac Christman (10 points) was the only other member to record double figures for the Kaws, who outscored their opponent in all but one period.

Seabury (2-10) will host Troy on Thursday night.

Behind a 23-point effort by Tori Huslig, the

the Ravens to one point in the fourth quarter by forcing three turnovers and six missed shots.

Down by six with under four minutes left, Free State scored on three straight possessions, including a game-tying layup from senior Shannon Cordes with 2:04 left on a backdoor cut, assisted by senior Jay Dineen (10 points, eight assists).

Free State had the ball with the score tied and under a minute left after Dineen took a charge on defense. But the Firebirds turned the ball over and collectively held their breath until Northwest junior Luke Waters’ spinning jump shot bounced off the front of the rim at the buzzer.

In the first half, holding the Ravens to one point in a quarter seemed

as likely as Steph Curry missing 50 consecutive shots. The Ravens (10-2, 3-1) made 10 of their first 11 attempts, running out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter.

“Last year they started the same way,” Stroh said. “They shot the ball well and we didn’t really have any urgency on the defensive end for more than, maybe, two or three passes. Once they passed it five or six times, we relaxed a little bit.”

The Firebirds never trailed in either overtime, but they certainly caught some breaks in their favor.

Similar to the end of regulation, the Firebirds turned the ball over in the final seconds of the first OT and watched the Ravens miss a potential game-winner at the buzzer.

Huslig lifts Veritas to win over Man. CHIEF

Veritas girls’ basketball team topped Manhattan CHIEF, 53-42. The Eagles have now won six straight games following their win at home Tuesday.

Huslig knocked down nine of her 14 shots from the floor, while also recording eight rebounds and seven assists. Chloe Holland made seven of her 19 attempts, to record 15 points.

In the second OT, Free State used free throws from four players to stay ahead: Dineen, Cordes, Cameron Clark and Simon McCaffrey. The only the shot they made — or attempted — in the second OT was a layup from senior Sloan Thomsen, assisted by Clark.

When the Firebirds needed stops in the second half, they couldn’t string them together for multiple possessions. Free State pulled within five points midway through the third quarter and the Ravens simply drilled two straight 3-pointers.

Olathe Northwest made 11 of 17 shots from the 3-point line (65 percent).

“That’s probably the thing I’m most disappointed in is our defensive effort,” Juneau said. “It wasn’t very good. We have seven more games against teams just like this. I told the girls we can go 0-7 or 7-0, it depends on what they want to do defensively. It’s not about points.

We can score points. It’s about stopping people.”

For most of the first half, it was the Firebirds (8-5, 2-2 in Sunflower League) outracing the Ferrari. All five starters scored in the first quarter, including a buzzerbeating 3-pointer from junior guard Jaelyn Two Hearts, who finished with 10 points.

The Ravens (9-4, 3-1) were making shots, but the Firebirds were just making more of them.

Two Hearts and senior forward Madison Piper were drilling threes.

Guards Cameryn Thomas, Caely Kesten and Sam Lawrence found driving lanes to the rim.

But eventually the Firebirds slowed down. After Free State senior Jaycie Bishop scored on a fastbreak layup with 4:37 left in the second quarter, they missed five straight shots with three turnovers mixed in.

And that jump-started Olathe Northwest. The Ravens started feeding off their defense by driving inside and kicking back out for triples. Sami Marks led the Ravens with 19 points (five 3-pointers) while Macy Reiber added 13 points (two 3’s).

Attempting to claw back in the second half, the Firebirds turned to 5-foot-11 Piper, the Santa Clara signee who finished with a game-high 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting. She added a game-high 12 rebounds and four assists.

KU-OU WOMEN AT A GLANCE Who: Kansas at Oklahoma When: 10:30 a.m. today Where: Lloyd Noble Center, Norman, Okla.

Series: Oklahoma leads, 37-30

On the board Kansas ended its 27-game Big 12 losing streak and earned its first conference win of the season with a 6660 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday. The triumph was also the first Big 12 win for Brandon Schneider as the Kansas coach. As Kansas looks for its second consecutive win at No. 18 Oklahoma, it will have to do something it hasn’t succeeded in doing all year: beat a ranked team.

Jayhawks in the record books: Senior Caelynn ManningAllen didn’t have any blocks against Texas Tech, but after recording four blocks against Oklahoma State, she moved into 10th place all-time in Kansas’ record books for blocks. She needs four blocks to pass former Jayhawk Krysten Boogaard and move into ninth place. Also, senior Timeka O’Neal currently has a career three-point field goal percentage of 39.4, which is second all-time behind Sandy Shaw’s 43.6 career average.

12 (50 percent) performance from the free line, which is well below her season average of 69 percent. Washington has scored in double figures in six straight games, and she scored 24 or more points in four of those games.

She’s averaging 16.8 points per game for the season, and her 20.6 points per game average in Big 12 play is tops in the conference.

Slumping Junior Chayla Cheadle’s scoring continues to dip in Big 12 play. She’s averaging 5.2 points per game, but she’s only scored nine points in the last five games on an ice-cold 3-22 shooting. She’s also scored two or fewer points on seven occasions in conference play. Cheadle is still rebounding at a decent rate, but her average has dropped from 6.1 to 4.9 per game in January.

Probable starters KANSAS (7-14 overall, 1-9 Big 12) G — Jayde Christopher, 5-8, so.

G — McKenzie Calvert, 5-9, so.

G — Kylee Kopatich, 5-10, so.

G — Chayla Cheadle, 6-0, jr.

F — Sydney Umeri, 6-0, sr.

OKLAHOMA Streaking (16-6 overall, 7-3 Big 12) Junior Jessica Washington G — Gabbi Ortiz, 5-9 jr. continued her stellar play G — Gioya Carter, 5-9, sr.

Saturday in Kansas’ win over G — Peyton Little, 5-11, sr.

Beef Stroganoff ideal for Valentine’s Day

By Sara Moulton Associated Press

P

rimed to romance your certain someone on Valentine’s Day? Nothing says “I love you” more persuasively than a home-cooked meal. This one-pot noodle dish, a variation on Beef Stroganoff, is the ideal messenger.

Although the roots of the classic recipe are certifiably aristocratic — a French chef working for Count Pavel Stroganoff, a Russian, created it in the early 1800s — Beef Stroganoff was being treated pretty roughly in America by the 1960s. At that time, when “convenience” trumped every other value, home cooks loved being able to whip up a fancy main course using canned gravy, canned mushrooms, canned minced onions and canned roast beef.

We’re going to treat it with a little more respect

About Crave

in this recipe for AmpedUp Beef Stroganoff. To start, the basics remain unchanged — thin slices of beef fillet topped with a sauce of fresh mushrooms and sour cream, all of it ladled over noodles. But I’ve beefed up the umami — and intensified the taste — with dried mushrooms, tomato paste and Dijon mustard. Also, we cook the noodles in the sauce, which makes them that much more delicious.

Ideally, your steak of choice will be beef fillet — it is Valentine’s Day, after all — but if you don’t want to splurge, you can swap in less expensive cuts. And if you can’t find dried porcini, you’ll be fine with dried shiitakes or a mix of dried mushrooms. In truth, any dried mushroom packs a one-two punch, contributing not only itself, but also the savory liquid generated when it’s rehydrated. That mushroom liqueur makes a

lip-smacking base for any sauce.

What to serve alongside this love offering? A nice refreshing salad involving citrus will provide the perfect contrast. And don’t forget the stagecraft! Set a proper table with cloth napkins and mats, a candle or two, and a bottle of robust red wine.

Let me tell you what ‘‘seeking therapy’’ means for me and, I suspect, most Americans.

I live in a small town; resources for therapy are scarce. I do not qualify for employer insurance or benefits. My individual insurance does not cover counseling. I could, conceivably, drive an hour to the nearest large city for a chance at quality therapy. I would have then spent an hour driving there, an hour in the appointment and an hour driving back — three hours in which I lost potential wages, shelled out money I can’t spare and used gas I was counting on to get me to and from work.

This doesn’t even address the issue of getting my employer to OK my missing work on a regular basis (therapy not being a one-and-done undertaking) and the fallout that comes from being known as an employee with issues. Yes, I know about privacy policies at work. We all know the reality is different.

If I were still a mother with young children, throw in child care issues while seeking therapy. Turn to my religious adviser?

Don’t have one. Talk to my physician — during the 10 minutes he spares me to write a prescription I can’t afford?

Combine all these issues for two people seeking couples counseling and look at the likelihood of success. If you detect a touch of bitterness in my letter, it is because it is there. Telling me to seek therapy is akin to saying, ‘‘Let them eat cake.’’ — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Thank you for this reminder of how difficult it can be to find mental health care.

Have you tried remote counseling?

Services such as BetterHelp and Talkspace connect patients with professionals via video chats, text messages and phone calls. This might be a more convenient and affordable option for you. Be well.

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 4 5-ounce filet mignon steaks, about 1-inch thick 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 5 ounces mixed baby lettuces Directions: Make the pistou: Place the garlic cloves in a small food processor and mince.

Add the basil and process again to chop, then add 1/3 cup of the olive oil, some salt and pepper, and blend until it becomes a bright green sauce.

Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a large heavy skillet, such as cast iron, over

medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and when the oil is hot, sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

While the meat is resting, in a large bowl combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine, add the lettuce and toss.

Serve the filets with a drizzle of the pistou on top, and a couple of handfuls of the dressed mixed greens.

Pass the rest of the pistou on the side for extra drizzling.
