S&P lowers credit outlook for Kansas

Campus sex assault reports have no fixed timeline for investigation, prosecution

any University of Kansas basketball fans and others are anxiously waiting to see who, if anyone, will be charged in the rape reported in December at the team’s oncampus apartment building.

However, depending on evidence and other factors, there’s no legal requirement that has to happen soon — or ever — law enforcement and court representatives say.

The recent history of sexual assault cases on or near the KU campus drives home Inside: that point Keeping too. In some track of i n s t a n c e s , the status cases have of campus gone un- sex assault r e s o l v e d reports. 2A for years.

considerations.

Kansas once required rape cases to be prosecuted within five years, but a law that took effect in 2013 abolished the statute of limitations for the crime.

For most other sexually violent crimes, prosecution must begin within five or 10 years, depending on various circumstances, according to a state statute provided by Cheryl Wright-Kunard, assistant to Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson.

For rapes and other sexual assault cases reported on or near Lawrence university campuses in recent years, the precedent varies widely.

Some cases reported to law enforcement have taken months or even years to be forwarded to the district attorney or to be charged — if they are forwarded or charged at all, according to a Journal-World analysis.

In some other cases, that process has taken just a few days.

University officials in October 2014 placed the fraternity on probation for the incident, of which the university provided no details to the public but described the allegations as “serious and disturbing.”

It was only in November of 2016 that the Lawrence Police Department

submitted its report to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. The DA is still reviewing the case for possible charges.

Kansas law doesn’t create any timelines for rape cases to be resolved.

Generally, there are no requirements that police departments ever forward case files to the district attorney for charging

Topeka — Republican leaders in the Kansas Senate on Thursday abruptly canceled plans to debate a package of spending cuts and tax increases aimed at closing the state’s projected $320 million budget deficit LEGISLATURE after support for the plan evidently collapsed over the previous 24 hours.

The Senate came into session around 8 a.m.

Reports CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In the McCarthy Hall case, a KU police report indicates that a 16-yearold girl was reportedly raped between 10 p.m.

Dec. 17 and 5 a.m. Dec. 18 at McCarthy, where the men’s basketball team and other male students live. KU police took the report the morning of Dec. 18. All five people listed as witnesses in the police report are basketball players.

The case remains under investigation by KU police, who have not shared further details or information about a possible suspect.

When investigations lead law enforcement agencies to identify a

suspect, the evidence is submitted to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, where a prosecutor will make a decision on whether to file criminal charges, Wright-Kunard said, in a written response to questions.

However, generally speaking, those agencies do not have to consult the DA’s office before closing the books on an investigation, if they choose to do so, Wright-Kunard said.

This means if either KU’s Office of Public Safety or the Lawrence Police Department, in their respective investigations, do not believe they have enough evidence, cannot identify a suspect or do not believe a crime took place, they may close the investigations without referring the matter to another agency.

28, 2014 Timeline: Two men were arrested Oct. 7 and charged Oct. 9, 2014, with rape. Their charges were dismissed in December 2014 and expunged in January 2015.

“In practice, if the agency finds that there is no probable cause a crime occurred, then they typically do not send those reports to our office,” Wright-Kunard said. “If for some reason they think a case is a close call they often will go ahead and forward those cases to us or at least discuss the case with a charging attorney.”

To close an investigation, however, the evidence must lead in that direction, said James Anguiano, deputy chief for KU’s Office of Public Safety.

“An investigation can stay open for a while,” he said. “We don’t just close an investigation to close them.”

Anguiano would not comment specifically on the McCarthy Hall investigation. He also declined

two bills no longer had the 21 votes necessary for passage.

“We are asking you as a caucus to work together to come up with a plan that is constitutional — in other words, it has an ending balance and it fixes 2017, and it has 2018 and 2019 with a budget that provides for the state’s needs and has an ending balance,” Longbine said. “It is our opinion you’re going to need a tax package with that.

And so when this caucus, all 31 of us come together and compromise, and we build a package that has 21 people who are willing to stand up and say ‘I will vote for this,’ we will run that plan.”

In the meantime, Longbine said, leadership will not allow any other legislation to be debated on the Senate floor, and they will strictly enforce upcoming deadlines for bills to move out of committees and through the Senate.

That could endanger any number of bills such as Medicaid expansion, voter registration law changes and others, because today is the deadline for most bills to pass out of committee, and Feb. 23 is the deadline for most bills to pass out of their chamber of origin.

In addition, the Senate has scheduled only a “pro forma” session for today and has no committee meetings scheduled because the Kansas Republican Party is holding its

annual state convention today and Saturday in Manhattan.

The Senate action came shortly after S&P Global Ratings lowered its outlook on Kansas’ credit rating to negative from stable.

Based on Longbine’s account of what had happened Wednesday, there was a dramatic reversal within the GOP caucus on its approach to solving the budget deficit.

Tuesday evening, he

along with Senate President Susan Wagle of Wichita and Majority Leader Jim Denning, of Overland Park, told reporters that the caucus did not support Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan, which called for borrowing $317 million from state idle funds held by the Pooled Money Investment Board and repaying that over seven years. Based on current projections, that would be almost enough to get the state out of this year’s deficit.

Republicans didn’t want that, the leaders said, because it was only one-time money and did not solve the state’s “structural” budget deficit — the difference between regular recurring money coming in and recurring expenses going out.

By Wednesday night, however, Longbine said that was the only part of the budget-balancing bill

An examination by the district attorney would be the only assurance that a third-party not connected to KU had reviewed the high-profile case.

How much control do victims have in charging decisions?

“The (victim’s) wishes are one factor taken into consideration when deciding when to file a case.

Ultimately, it is up to the prosecutor to decide whether or not to file a charge,” Wright-Kunard said, via email. “In the case of minors, consultation with parents or guardians may be appropriate.”

that could get 21 votes.

“The two premises we are confident we can get 21 votes on are the PMIB bill and the loophole,” he said, referring to a part of the tax bill that would close the so-called LLC loophole that exempts more than 330,000 business and farm owners from paying taxes on their business income.

But Sen. Barbara Bollier, R-Mission Hills, questioned why they were being asked to come up with a plan that could get 21 Republican votes. She said she and other moderate Republicans had been working with Democrats on an alternative tax plan that would include reinstating a third tax bracket for upper-income tax filers.

“I want to be clear.

Are we saying the only way we will move forward is only if Republicans come together, and so Democrats are out?” she asked.

Denning then said she could work with Democrats, but added: “Just make sure the governor’s not going to veto it.”

“That’s impossible.

The governor might veto anything,” Bollier said, adding that there was no guarantee Brownback wouldn’t have vetoed the leadership’s bill.

Then Longbine interjected: “We are 75 percent of the Senate. We need to fix this ourselves.”

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said afterwards that GOP leaders need to stop thinking about writing a bill that can get 21 votes, but rather one that can get 27 votes, the minimum

In Kansas, 16 is the age of consent, WrightKunard said. Intercourse with a child who is younger than 16 but over 14 is aggravated indecent liberties with a child; intercourse with a child under 14 is considered rape.

Under federal Title IX, universities are required to investigate and adjudicate reports of sexual harassment, including sexual violence, on their campuses whether victims report the incident to law enforcement or not. A student found more likely than not to have committed an offense may be disciplined by the university.

Those internal university investigations are conducted confidentially, and KU has repeatedly declined to publicly share specifics about cases and their results.

needed to override a governor’s veto.

“They need 27 votes because they’re going to have to override a veto, especially on the LLC loophole, because I’m almost certain Brownback will veto that,” Hensley said. “If they can get 27 Republicans, more power to them. I don’t think they can.”

Hensley later released an outline of the plan that Democrats and moderate Republicans are backing.

In addition to repealing the LLC exemption, it calls for repealing the so-called “march to zero” that is intended to gradually phase out income taxes altogether starting in 2020.

It also leaves in place a tax exemption for the lowest 300,000 or so wage earners who make less than $5,000 a year individually, or $12,500 for couples filing jointly.

But it would create a new, third tax bracket for individuals earning over $35,000 a year for individuals, or $75,000 a year for married couples filing jointly. Those people would pay 6.45 percent in tax on adjusted gross income over those threshholds instead of the current 4.6 percent.

All told, Hensley said, that plan would raise an estimated $1.2 billion over the next two years.

Hensley said all nine Democrats in the Senate will support that plan, and he personally believes as many as 17 or 18 Republicans might support it.

Investigation possibly involving KU players partially complete

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A portion of the investigation into a December car vandalism possibly involving two University of Kansas basketball players is complete, the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.

The incident was reported around 2 a.m. Dec. 9 at 530 Wisconsin St., the address of the Yacht Club, according to a Lawrence police report. Damage to the car is estimated to be $2,991.

The Kansas City Star reported that KU basketball players Josh Jackson and Lagerald Vick were persons of interest in the investigation, which centered

on a report that about $3,000 worth of damage was done to the car of a female patron of the bar.

Neither Jackson nor Vick was named in the information released by the district attorney. Law enforcement officials have never confirmed that Jackson or Vick is a person of interest in the investigation.

Kansas Treasurer Estes is Project GOP congressional nominee

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — Republicans picked Kansas Treasurer Ron Estes on Thursday as their nominee for a south central Kansas congressional seat held for more than two decades by the GOP but vacated recently

by Mike Pompeo, who recently became President Donald Trump’s CIA director.

T h e April 11 vote is the nation’s first special congressional Estes election since Trump’s win, and Democrats are hoping to channel voter discontent into an upset in the heavily Republican district.

But GOP leaders are not taking the seat for granted.

“These special elections are low turnout, which means if a group really gets organized and energized and well funded, they can boost their own turnout — which would flip a seat. So we are not taking this as just a solid Republican seat that we will win easily,” said Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party.

Republicans have represented the district that encompasses the state’s largest city of Wichita since Todd Tiahrt unseated veteran Democratic Rep. Dan Glickman in 1994. Pompeo won the state’s 4th District seat in 2010, when Tiahrt gave it up to run unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. Tiahrt lost a GOP primary race to Pompeo in 2014, and he was among a crowded field seeking his party’s nomination.

But after two ballot rounds, the delegates chose Estes as their standard bearer with 66 votes.

Alan Cobb, a former

Trump campaign staffer and ex-lobbyist for Koch Industries, trailed with 43 votes. Tiahrt garnered 17 votes. Former talk show host Joseph Ashby and lawyer George Bruce were eliminated after getting only 10 votes each in the first round of balloting.

Democrats are already mounting voter registration drives, organizing local party leaders and urging voters to elect a Democrat who will be a check on Trump in Washington, D.C. “This special election gives people that have been so angry and frustrated with what the Trump administration has been doing since they have taken over, it gives them their first chance to fight back,” said Kerry Gooch, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.

Barker said he has re-

ceived a call from the White House and Trump’s aides are interested in the race because it is the first since November.

Estes, who was one of the electors who voted for Trump, said he is pleased with the direction the new president has taken the country.

He told the delegates that he is running for Congress because “we need to shake up Washington,” saying the people now have the opportunity to preserve the country following a conservative vision.

The president and Congress have a lot of things to face such as repealing and replacing Obamacare and passing a balanced budget amendment, Estes told them.

Democrats and Libertarians will both choose their candidates on Saturday.

More details from city engineers regarding the financial or design parameters of the new East Ninth Project plans were not immediately available Thursday, though a public reveal is upcoming.

The discussion of the new plans is tentatively scheduled for the City Commission’s work session on March 14, and the new designs should be posted on the city’s website in the days preceding the meeting, Arneill said. As far as where those designs might go from there, Arneill said that decision would rest with the governing body.

“It’s really up to the City Commission as to how they proceed, and if or how it is part of the (capital improvement plan),” Arneill said.

The city’s 2017-2021 capital improvement plan doesn’t currently

page of the report is available to the public. Suspect information is on the second page of the report, which is closed to the public. The victim reported the vandalism to police, the document states.

include the East Ninth Project, but years subsequent to the current year are still flexible.

For instance, projects for 2018 won’t be finalized until after the commission approves a budget for that year.

City Manager Tom Markus told commissioners during last summer’s budget discussions that if they want to fund a Ninth Street project, they had to decide on other projects to eliminate from the five-year capital improvement plan.

The previously proposed concept design for the project received a mixed response from the public, and only Commissioners Mike Amyx and Matthew Herbert indicated they would have advanced the design without further modifications.

In addition to street and sidewalk improvements, the concept design for the project included a stormwater management system with native grass and integrated art installa-

tions such as light displays, sound signals and a large rock garden. The 81-page concept design took about a year and half to establish and was due to be funded in part by a $500,000 ArtPlace America grant awarded to the Lawrence Arts Center.

Whether the discussion regarding the East Ninth Project will indeed be part of the March 14 work session, as currently scheduled, should be confirmed within the next few weeks.

Widower struggling to cope with crippling grief Dear Annie: I am a 69-year-old man who, until now, only read your column periodically. I never ever thought that I would need to write to you.

Well, now I am eating those words.

In late August, I lost the most important person in my life to inoperable pancreatic cancer.

My wife was diagnosed in June 2014, and despite the fact that the cancer spread to three additional organs, she fought back. This amazing woman refused to let the cancer win. She went on with her life, and even though she received chemo and radiation therapy on a regular basis, as well as numerous medications, she refused to give in.

I drove her to every doctor’s appointment and every radiation and chemotherapy ap-

The reason I am writing to you is that I am a total mess. Friends and family are calling me to come to dinner. I don’t want to be around people as I grieve; I prefer to be alone all of the time.

Our house is just as it was on the day she died

Inside the world of designers Design is everywhere and affects how we feel about everything. Perhaps that’s why so few of us notice it, or talk about it.

Why do so many pay so much more for Apple products? Is it the superiority of its technology? Or the alchemy of its elegant design? Sometimes great design not only makes an item seem new; it also makes everything else seem old.

Beginning today, Netflix begins streaming ‘‘Abstract: The Art of Design’’ (TV14).

This eight-part documentary offers brief profiles of designers in various fields as they discuss their art, their work habits and their ways of perceiving the world.

When we first meet graphic designer Paula Scher she is describing New York City as a world of signs and a forest of typography, a place where every store, home and building is emblazoned with a different brand or symbol telling you its address. She discusses her work, from early album covers for Columbia Records to marketing efforts for New York’s Public Theater to a logo seen on every ad and credit card issued by Citibank.

Illustrator Christoph Niemann’s witty works have graced many covers of the New Yorker and other magazines. The German-born New Yorker-turnedBerliner takes a childlike view of the world, yet extolls a diligent work ethic, spending every day from 9 to 6 in his studio, confronting a blank piece of paper. Quoting painter Chuck Close, Niemann believes that great art does not arise from lightning bolts of inspiration, rather that ‘‘eureka’’ moments are the byproduct of discipline and hard work.

Both Scher and Niemann have adjusted to the digital world, yet both crave the tactile, the feel of pencils and the smell of materials that take them back to reveries of childhood play. Niemann works mostly on paper and Scher has returned to painting, as if to remind herself that art, like life itself, is more than you can behold on a screen.

Other artists profiled in this engaging series include architect Bjarke Ingels, stage designer Es Devlin, interior designer Ilse Crawford, photographer Platon, automobile designer Ralph Gilles and Tinker Hatfield, best known for his innovations for Nike shoes.

The danger of an ISIS breakout

EDITORIALS

Next chief Let’s hope the city hires a new police chief who can tackle today’s challenges with transparency and a fresh perspective.

A

s the search gets underway for a new chief to lead the Lawrence Police Department, it’s important that city officials cast a wide net to find the right candidate.

The next chief will face a complex set of issues, and after three decades of leadership from within, it may be time for the city to recruit a chief who can bring a fresh law enforcement perspective to Lawrence. Lawrence’s two previous chiefs — Ron Olin (chief from 1987 to 2011) and Tarik Khatib (chief from 2011 until June 2017) were promoted from within.

City Manager Tom Markus appears to be leaning toward an outside candidate as well, judging from his remarks this week.

“I think you need to have strong leadership capabilities,” Markus said of potential chief candidates. “It’s a large department and there are a lot of issues in the city that are currently underway for that department, so someone that’s had some experience in a leadership capacity in the past is something I’m looking for.”

The new chief will have to guide the city through issues ranging from the creation of a mental health squad to identifying alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system. There are racial issues, most notably arrest rates for minorities relative to their populations, that must be addressed. There is the issue of whether the city needs a new police headquarters.

And efforts are underway to increase citizen review of police complaints, acquire body cameras for officers and break down data regarding police stops by race.

Now is a complicated time for law enforcement, who are under scrutiny like never before. Just about everyone police interact with is armed with a camera and access to a social media account. It’s a different challenge to serve at a time when so many are prepared to second-guess every move. Fair or not, there is a segment of the population that looks for reasons to be distrustful of law enforcement.

In such an environment the department’s top officer has to embrace openness, more openness than the Lawrence Police Department has been comfortable with in the past. It was encouraging to see the advertisement for the job opening list “transparency and openness to the public” as an important value for the community and the police department.

Markus came to Lawrence less than a year ago from Iowa City. His fresh perspective has benefited Lawrence. As the city prepares to find its next police chief, it may be wise to take a similar approach and look beyond the city limits to find a visionary chief to lead the department in a new era of law enforcement.

Washington — Michael Flynn, the national security adviser to President Trump, shows visitors a map predicting what will happen to the Islamic State after its stronghold in Mosul is captured. It shows menacing black arrows reaching west toward other, future battlefronts in Iraq, Syria and beyond.

That’s the worry that motivates the Trump administration as it plans strategy against the terrorist group: Rather than a shattering defeat for the adversary, Mosul may be the start of a breakout to other regions.

That may be one rationale for Trump’s controversial ban on travel from Iraq and six other Muslim-majority countries: He fears a metastasis of ISIS into the West after its capitals are crushed.

“As Mosul falls, everyone [in ISIS] will move out,” argues a senior Trump administration official. “ISIS will fall back into different areas. You could get suicide attacks again in Ramadi,” an Iraqi city that was liberated 14 months ago.

But many experts outside the administration see many holes in Trump’s counterterrorism approach and worry that it could backfire.

His rhetoric about “Islamic terrorism” has turned up the ideological heat, but it has frightened some potential Muslim allies at home and abroad. Trump has denounced the Obama administration’s allegedly weak

“

Many experts outside the administration see many holes in Trump’s counterterrorism approach and worry that it could backfire.” strategy — which, however cautious, was slowly throttling ISIS — without having a clear alternative.

The travel ban has offended the Iraqi government, for example, even as its elite forces bravely captured eastern Mosul. The casualty rate among the Iraqi Counterterrorism Service, which has done most of the heavy fighting, is about 30 percent, according to a high-level intelligence official. Because that unit must rebuild its strength, victory in Mosul is at least six months away.

Then there’s the Iran conundrum. Flynn put Iran “on notice” after its Jan. 29 missile test, and the administration soon announced sanctions. But Tehran is also America’s de-facto

ally against ISIS in Iraq.

Iran-backed Shiite militias haven’t turned their guns on U.S. forces, but they could — severely complicating the ISIS campaign.

And there’s the puzzle of how to deal with the new alliance of Russia, Iran, Turkey and the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad.

Will the U.S. join them in a shared fight against ISIS? If so, will that mean abandoning the Syrian Kurdish militia known as the YPG, which has been America’s strongest partner against ISIS, but which Turkey rejects as a terrorist group?

During the 2016 campaign, Trump urged an alliance with Russia against ISIS in Syria, and some officials have talked of driving a wedge between Moscow and Tehran. But analysts from the Institute for the Study of War caution that such a Russia-Iran split is probably wishful thinking.

Trump’s notion of partnership with President Vladimir Putin is also increasingly problematic.

Congressional Republicans are wary about embracing Moscow. And last Friday, the senior administration official endorsed the hardline statement by U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley that Russia must withdraw from Crimea before sanctions are removed. The White House position on Russia is now “high standards, high expectations,” the administration official said.

The Trump team has criticized President Obama’s plan for taking Raqqah as “sloppy staff work,” without having its own version ready. Some analysts worry that ISIS is regrouping as the new administration recalibrates policy. “Simultaneity and pressure are the keys going forward,” stresses one American commander. He urges that the U.S. sustain its broad coalition, including the Syrian Kurds, to keep up momentum.

Victory in Raqqah could be a year off, warns the intelligence official. That would give ISIS many months to plan the global attacks that Flynn fears. Given this danger, some analysts speculate that Trump may eventually decide to clear Raqqah with thousands of U.S. troops from mobile units, such as the 82nd Airborne Division, which is already partly deployed in Iraq. That would be a decisive show of force, and it could get the U.S. in and out relatively quickly.

But it would probably mean high U.S. casualties.

The bitter irony is that as Trump proclaims his antiISIS campaign, al-Qaida is becoming stronger in both Iraq and Syria, warn analysts from the Institute for the Study of War. This is a fight where easy slogans and rushed travel bans aren’t likely to provide a path to victory.

YOUR TURN

Fight laws that allow guns on our campuses

By John Edgar Tidwell

Come July 1, a law going into effect will shake the very foundations of the University of Kansas.

The Personal and Family Protection Act, which authorizes “conceal and carry” on campus, will permit the presence of firearms in nearly every sector of the university.

When polled, more than 80 percent of the faculty, staff and students expressed their opposition to the law. Their displeasure was echoed last week in Topeka.

A well-informed contingent of school-affiliated and private citizens from across the state flooded the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee hearing room and spoke passionately about the problems of conceal/ carry. Their protest was a direct response to the mistaken belief that Kansas colleges, universities and community colleges are largely indifferent or unconcerned about the implementation of this law. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Though self-governance has been a foundational principle of higher education, state universities and colleges in Kansas were not provided an opportunity to opt into this policy.

Had we been consulted, we would have provided stud-

ied analyses of the many implications of allowing guns on campus. The results arguably might have been a reaTidwell soned, less divisive debate on the matter.

The overall climate might have insured inclusivity, allowing for a thorough vetting of all points of view.

Now the discourse has deteriorated into partisan rhetoric and an inability to engage in a civil exchange of ideas. Indeed, there is no evidence that the progun lobby actually desires a meaningful discussion of the issue. Still, the goal for many of us is quite clear.

We must press for the right to determine whether — not how — to allow guns on campus. One of our tasks is to get the Legislature to understand that colleges and universities are the best judges of appropriate policies that govern actions on campuses.

In this spirit, my hopes are buoyed by reports of allies among new and returning legislators. News and other sources report that a number of legislators have begun seeking to repeal or possibly delay the implementation of the law. I loudly applaud them. My enthusiasm is

tempered only by two realities. In the absence of concrete data, we simply have no numbers telling us how many people might represent this revised view. The conditional word “might” simply suggests something within the realm of possibility; it does not promise specific results.

Second, I am unwilling to agree with any change that does not mean a permanent exemption from conceal/ carry. For me, the “middle ground” proposal that has been floated is troubling. It is disconcerting because it accepts the current law as a fait accompli. It merely delays its implementation until accommodations can be made for those who do not wish to be in the presence of guns. I advocate passage of legislation that permanently exempts universities from conceal/carry, not one that simply “kicks the can down the road.” In the meantime, we are left to confront a law fraught with problems.

The Personal and Family Protection Act is flawed legislation. At KU, there are instances of sexual assault, religious intolerance, violence against gender nonconforming people and much more.

None of these transgressions, however, necessitates guns as a remedy.

The law is also discriminatory because students

younger than 21 as well as international students are not eligible to carry a weapon.

The law is simply untenable. Studies have shown no correlation between guns and a safer environment.

Research into domestic violence, mental illness, suicidal tendencies, and more reveals that readily accessible weapons dramatically increase the possibility for dire consequences.

And in the interminable debate about Second Amendment rights, banning guns from campus has absolutely nothing to do with abridging or terminating one’s individual rights.

A campus is a “safe space,” a place where ideas are shaped and formed in the crucible of intellectual exchange. Civility and mutual respect are foundational in the life of ideas. Guns have no place in this environment. They would seriously disrupt an educational process intended to facilitate the search for knowledge and independent thought.

We must therefore force the issue. I agree with Frederick Douglass: “Power concedes nothing without a struggle.” We must fight against this law as if our very lives depend on it, which, in a very real way, our lives do.

FROM LEFT, REPS. BLAINE FINCH, JOHN WHITMER, JOHN CARMICHAEL AND FRED PATTON confer on the House floor about language in a bill that would limit public access to many records about complaints and disciplinary actions involving law enforcement officers.

‘‘

This is a very unfortunate circumstance and I bear responsibility for the oversight of the committee. I should have read the bill more carefully.”

— Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita

it passed out of committee Feb. 3 with bipartisan support.

Just before it came up for debate on the House floor Thursday, however, Carmichael said he was made aware of another section of the bill that had never been discussed in committee and was not even mentioned in the brief “supplemental note” that explained the bill.

That section would have completely and permanently closed public access to records about complaints against law enforcement officers, or any information related to that complaint such as investigations and disciplinary action.

“No other law enforcement agency in this state has an absolute seal on their investigative records,” Carmichael said.

In other cases, he said, agencies can assert an exception in the Open Records Act that allows investigation records to be closed, and people seeking access to them can file a petition in court to get access if they can convince a judge that release of the records is in the public interest.

“And oftentimes, at the conclusion of an investigation, those records are opened because the public has an interest in knowing whether or not law enforcement is doing its job,” Carmichael said.

Rep. Blaine Finch, ROttawa, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said there was no attempt to hide that provision of the bill, and he said there is an argument in favor

SPORTS 7:30

of closing records about complaints and allegations made against officers.

“The goal here is not to shield bad cops,” he said.

“CPOST is in the business of getting rid of bad cops and making sure the public is protected by good ones. ... You don’t fix the system, you don’t enhance transparency by putting out allegations and risking an officer’s reputation because a citizen may have been upset about something completely different. Maybe they didn’t like the way their son or daughter got treated or the fact that their brother got arrested, and so they make a complaint.”

“Believe it or not, folks, the people who get arrested don’t like cops,” Finch said.

Debate on the bill was put on hold for several minutes as Carmichael, Finch and two other lawmakers met in a huddle to go over the language of the bill. Afterward, Finch offered a motion to refer it back to the Judiciary Committee to work on an amendment “to continue the air of good feeling and collegiality we have here.”

Later in the day, according to Carmichael, he and Finch met privately with staff in the Revisor of Statutes office and other attorneys whom he described as “experts in the Kansas Open Records Act,” and agreed on language that will be reviewed by the Judiciary Committee before the bill goes back to the full House.

That change would treat complaints and investigation records at CPOST the same as other investigation records, meaning the agency has the discretion to close records of active investigations, and it may open records of closed investigations, but members of the public can petition a court to open those records if they can show doing so would be in the public interest.

But that agreement came about only after the bill was pulled from debate on the House floor and sent back to committee once the ranking Democrat on the committee realized the original bill went much further than he had been led to believe.

“This is a very unfortunate circumstance and I bear responsibility for the oversight of the committee,” Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, said when the bill first came up for debate on the floor.

“I should have read the bill more carefully.”

The bill concerns records of the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or CPOST, the state agency that certifies and regulates state and local law enforcement officers in Kansas.

Among other things, that agency maintains a central registry of all commissioned officers in the state showing that they have received all of the education and training required to maintain their commissions. It also contains records of officers who have been terminated from their jobs.

In addition, CPOST is the state agency that receives formal complaints against officers, supervises investigations of those complaints and has the authority to suspend or revoke an officer’s law enforcement license.

When it was first introduced, the bill would have declared that registry a “confidential” document that would be exempt from the Kansas Open Records Act and only open to other law enforcement or administrative agencies or courts.

It was supported by a number of groups representing law enforcement agencies, but it was strongly opposed by the Kansas Press Association.

That part of the bill was amended in committee to say that information in the registry would be considered “personnel documents” under the Open Records Act, which means only the names, salaries, position, length of service and any employment contract with the employee are open to the public.

Other information is closed to the public, including performance ratings, hours worked and individually identifiable records about employees or applicants for public jobs.

Although not everyone was entirely happy with that compromise, it appeared to be enough to satisfy most people, and

TRUMP LOSES BID TO REINSTATE BAN Immigration order stays on hold; next stop could be Supreme Court Richard Wolf and Alan Gomez USA TODAY

A federal appeals court refused to let President Trump reinstitute a temporary ban on travelers from seven majority-Muslim nations, ruling Thursday that it violates the due process rights of people affected without a sufficient national security justification.

The unanimous verdict quoted a 75-year-old Supreme Court precedent that said courts have a du-

ty “in time of war as well as in time of peace, to preserve unimpaired the constitutional safeguards of civil liberty.”

The quick decision from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit could lead to a showdown at the Supreme Court within days unless the administration dials back the travel ban or agrees to try its case before the federal judge in Seattle who ordered it blocked last week.

The Justice Department said it was “reviewing the decision and considering its options.” Trump

A protester expresses his view of Trump’s temporary travel ban in San Francisco.

indicated more appeals are coming. “SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!” he tweeted minutes after the ruling was released.

The 29-page order represented a wide-ranging rebuke of Trump’s travel ban. The judges found that the plaintiffs in the case — the states of Washington and Minnesota — showed that the ban may have violated the due process rights of foreigners who had valid visas and green cards, as well as those in the country illegally.

They said “serious allegations” about religious discrimination against Muslims raised “significant constitutional questions” requiring a full airing in a trial court.

The order rejected a last-min-

ute suggestion by the Justice Department to scale back the ban so it would apply only to visa holders who had never stepped foot in the USA. “It is not our role to try, in effect, to rewrite the executive order,” they wrote.

The panel said the president should get “considerable deference” in the areas of immigration and national security, but “it is beyond question that the federal judiciary retains the authority to adjudicate constitutional challenges to executive action.”

Washington state Solicitor General Noah Purcell, who tried the states’ case during Tuesday’s oral arguments, said the court “seriously considered all the govv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

WASHINGTON

President Trump’s executive orders sometimes contain far more than meets the eye — and quite often, far less.

After swearing in Jeff Sessions as his new attorney general Thursday, Trump signed three executive orders he said would usher in “a new era of justice.” When the executive orders were released two hours later, they ushered in little more than two new task forces and a slew of reviews, studies and reports.

A handful of Trump’s 26 executive actions — especially on immigration — have had immediate and far-reaching impacts and have generated a barrage of headlines and lawsuits. Most have been rather mundane as Trump’s policy ambitions have run headlong into laws that limit the president’s power to make unilateral policy.

The result are executive orders that don’t do much of anything but set broad goals and ask for recommendations for further action.

More Americans are renouncing their U.S. citizenship

The reason is often the bottom line: Taxes Herb Jackson USA TODAY

More than 5,400 Americans overseas renounced their U.S. citizenship last year, a 26% increase over 2015 and more than triple the number in 2010, when Congress passed a law that significantly increased tax penalties for unreported foreign transactions and holdings, according to a Connecticut tax attorney.

Advocates for about 7 million overseas Americans and attorneys who advise them say that although some are trying to avoid higher taxes or stricter bank rules that make it more difficult to shield wealth, others are dual citizens with a loose connection to the USA who want to avoid the hassle of filing returns to the IRS. “It’s increasing at an exponential rate,” says Andrew Mitchel, an attorney who began compiling quarterly lists of expatriates released by the IRS after a scandal erupted over allegations that the Swiss bank UBS helped American customers conceal information from the IRS and Congress en-

BRENNAN LINSLEY, AP

IRS penalties for unreported overseas holdings got tougher in 2010.

acted the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act in 2010.

Mitchel’s data, which draw

from IRS and State Department records, show that from 1998 through 2009, the number of renunciations ranged from a low of 231 to a high of 762. Then they began to take off.

The FATCA law, projected to raise $8.7 billion over 10 years, required taxpayers to disclose foreign accounts on returns, sharply increased penalties for non-compliance and pressured banks worldwide to help the IRS enforce the rules by using the threat of withholding 30% of payments such as stock dividends from U.S. sources.

“Foreign banks are basically acting as the police to flush these

U.S. citizens out of the bushes so the IRS can see them,” Mitchel says.

Unlike most countries, which base taxes on residency, the United States bases its taxes on citizenship. Citizens overseas are required to file returns, though taxes paid to a foreign country often count as credit against any U.S. liabilities, Mitchel says. Renouncing citizenship requires expatriates to settle any outstanding liabilities.

Among those who gave up their citizenship in 2016 was Boris Johnson, former mayor of London, who was born in New York City.

Trump advisers take suspicious view of Islam On talk radio, they’ve expressed hard line on religion

“The classical internal American religious principles I don’t think apply.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

Steve Reilly

@BySteveReilly USA TODAY

Months before they became two of President Trump’s top advisers, Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka engaged in a winding conversation about Islam on Bannon’s talk radio show.

“The dirty little secret, Steve, that nobody wants to tell you, (is) what the bad guys do — what alQaeda does or what ISIS is doing right now — is not fundamentally un-Islamic,” said Gorka, who at the time of the show in April 2016 was a Breitbart writer. Today, he is a deputy assistant to the president.

The recordings of Bannon’s Breitbart News Daily radio show shed light on how a cadre of top Trump administration officials view immigration and, more specifically, Muslims.

Reporting by USA TODAY and other news media about the recordings of Bannon’s statements in 2015 and 2016 prompted White House spokesman Sean Spicer to address Trump’s views on Islam last week, suggesting “there’s a difference” between Bannon’s and Trump’s views on the religion. In the recordings from Bannon’s shows, other people who’ve ascended to top jobs in the West Wing and the Cabinet openly aired controversial views about Muslims, immigrants in general and their threat to America.

“We must acknowledge that we are at war,” Michael Flynn, now Trump’s national security adviser, told Bannon during a discussion of Islamic terrorism in July 2016.

During an appearance on Ban-

non’s show in December 2015, after then-candidate Trump proposed a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” Jeff Sessions, who was confirmed as attorney general Wednesday, said the United States’ “classical” principles about religious freedoms don’t apply to immigrants seeking to come into the country.

Though Americans are “deeply committed to freedom of religion,” Sessions told Bannon, “we are in an age that’s very dangerous. And we are seeing more and more persons enter, and a lot of them have done terrorist acts.”

“It’s time for us to think this through,” said Sessions, then a U.S. senator. He will lead the Justice Department as it defends the White House’s immigration, refugee and travel ban in federal court. “And the classical internal American religious principles I don’t think apply — providing constitutional protections to persons (who are) not citizens who want to come here.”

According to a recent Cato Institute report, out of more than 3 million refugees admitted to the USA from 1975 to 2015, three committed terrorist acts that killed Americans. They were Cuban refugees in the 1970s.

Recordings show many of the newly installed Trump figures who made regular appearances on Bannon’s show share the host’s ominous views on Islam and a hard-line stance on legal and illegal immigration.

Then-presidential candidate Ben Carson, who is Trump’s nominee for housing secretary, said last February that he thought Mohammed was “somebody who lives a life who is in no way comparable to Jesus Christ.”

lia Hahn, who has been hired to work in the White House, told Bannon in August that Trump opponent Hillary Clinton could not claim to care about women’s issues “if she wants to bring large flows of unassimilated Muslim migrants who, you know, don’t have the same values toward women that Western culture does.”

Corey Saylor, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the statements indicate White House officials “have bought into false notions that Islam itself somehow endorses the actions of devil-inspired groups like ISIS.”

“It’s sort of like holding all Christian groups accountable for Jim Jones or for the actions of Joseph Kony’s militia,” Saylor said. “And that would normally reasonably be considered fringe thinking. But now we have those fringe thinkers directly in the White House.”

Those views are particularly apparent among Trump’s top national security advisers. Flynn told Bannon that it was time for the United States to declare war.

“Our enemies have declared war on us, and we have to take this on with all the resources that the United States of America can bring to bear,” Flynn said. “There is no doubt.”

“You think Congress should declare war on, on — you want to declare war on them?” Bannon probed.

“That’s right,” Flynn replied. “I think we need a declaration of war.”

In April, Gorka and Bannon described the basis of their beliefs about Islam and other world religious. Gorka laughed when Bannon mockingly noted that former president George W. Bush said Islam “means peace.”

“Let me tell you how it means peace,” Gorka said. “The word Islam actually means submission.

It means surrender. Surrender to what? The will of Allah.”

at U.S. and international airports as tens of thousands of visa holders were blocked from entering the country or detained after arriving in the USA. A barrage of protests and lawsuits followed, leading to federal court rulings against the ban in New York, Virginia and elsewhere. One judge in Massachusetts ruled in Trump’s favor, but on Friday, District Judge James Robart in Seattle halted the policy nationwide, citing “immediate and irreparable injury” to foreigners with valid visas and green cards.

The next day, the State Department said it would restore more than 60,000 canceled visas, and the Department of Homeland Security stopped enforcing the ban, reverting to standard inspections.

Trump denounced the ruling of the “so-called judge” in starkly personal terms, and the Justice Department appealed to the 9th Circuit, the nation’s most liberal appeals court with jurisdiction over Western states.

That court required both sides to submit legal arguments by Monday and held an hour-long telephone hearing Tuesday that was live-streamed to listeners around the world. All three judges voiced skepticism about the need for the ban, but one said it did not appear to target Muslims in general.

The Trump administration contends that the president has authority under the Constitution to control immigration for national security purposes. It points to a 1952 law that allows a president to bar entry to immigrants if the president deems them to be “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

Opponents of the travel ban, led by Washington state and Minnesota, say it discriminates against citizens of certain countries and the Muslim religion.

They say the ban violates the clause of the Constitution that protects freedom of religion.

many of them, don’t go very far substantively,” said Mark Rozell, the dean of the government school at George Mason University. “But the way they’re being presented showcases that he’s doing something very dramatic, very significant. And that ramps up the partisan rancor over what he’s doing.”

The White House said the orders are a deliberate attempt to color inside the lines. “I think the difference with what President Obama did was stretch the executive order to take actions that had largely been within the realm of Congress and to do things that didn’t allow for prior input,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Thursday.

“There is a big difference in the context in which those two administrations operated.”

Another difference is that Trump’s executive actions are, by his own admission, often designed to communicate a political message to his supporters.

“These executive actions continue to deliver on my campaign promises,” Trump said Thursday before signing orders on crime reduction, drug cartels and protecting police officers.

In Oval Office signing ceremonies, the president has often trumpeted his executive orders as “big.”

Trump said his order on rebuilding the military was “a big statement.” His directive ordering a travel ban was “big stuff.”

An executive order on regulations was the “biggest such act that our country has ever seen.”

When he signed an order last Friday outlining a new financial regulatory policy, he said, “Doesn’t get much bigger than that, right?”

In fact, most orders have been presidential small ball, with largely bureaucratic effects couched in legal terms such as “to the maximum extent permitted by law.”

That order on financial regulations, for example, expressed a series of seven non-controversial policy goals such as “prevent (ing) taxpayer-funded bailouts.”

“There’s very little objectionable in these executive orders, because when you’re talking

President Trump signs an executive order in the Oval Office on Thursday. He signed three orders aimed at reducing crime.

about policy at 35,000 feet, everybody agrees. But laws and rules don’t operate at 35,000 feet,” said Dennis Kelleher of Better Markets, a group that argues for consumer-friendly financial regulation.

Instead, Trump’s orders are often best read between the lines.

“These executive orders are political and meant to kind of be a dog whistle to Wall Street’s lobbyists that we’re going to deregulate Wall Street,” Kelleher said. “But the order itself does absolutely nothing but request a study in six months from his asyet-unconfirmed Treasury secretary.”

A second order on financial regulation was touted as an attempt to delay the implementation of the Fiduciary Duty Rule, which requires financial advisers to look out for their clients’ best

interests and not just sell financial products with the highest commissions. Because that rule was finalized by the Obama administration, the most immediate thing Trump could do was to order his secretary of Labor to “determine whether it may adversely affect the ability of Americans to gain access to retirement information and financial advice.”

If so, the administration will have to go through a lengthy process, including fact-finding and public comment, before beginning the process of repealing the rule.

Other executive actions turned out to be more significant than advertised.

In reinstating a policy on Mexico City, Trump did not just reinstate the Reagan-Bush policy of prohibiting global family planning programs from going to groups that promote abortion.

He vastly expanded the policy, which opponents call the “global gag rule,” by applying it to all global health aid by any federal agency.

An order requiring two regulations to be repealed for every new one adopted created annual agency regulatory quotas.

THE MOTLEY FOOL A FOOLISH TAKE

China is MVP of bank brands John Maxfield

Price: $9.05

At different times throughout history, public sentiment has turned against America’s biggest banks. Big banks are dangerous and must be broken up, many believe. At the least, they shouldn’t be allowed to get any larger.

But the problem with this argument is that by throttling the growth of American banks, the summit of global finance is ceded to institutions in other countries.

In fact, the biggest bank in China, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China — ICBC — is roughly one-third larger than the biggest bank in the U.S., JPMorgan Chase, when measured by the size of their balance sheets.

ICBC is also now the world’s most valuable bank brand,

BrandFinance says. Problems at Wells Fargo over the past year caused the California-based bank to fall from the top spot.

When the White House talks about the importance of enabling American financial companies to compete more effectively with firms abroad, as President Trump did in a recent executive order targeting the Dodd-Frank Act, these trends are probably what he and his team have in mind.

Coke CEO: Border tax wouldn’t hurt but ‘rhetoric’ could Kent says company insulated but larger ramifications vexing Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

President Trump’s proposed border tax wouldn’t hurt CocaCola directly, but the company could suffer if “this kind of rhetoric” continues, CEO Muhtar Kent

said Thursday.

Kent told reporters Coke would be largely insulated from the effects of a Trump border tax on products imported to the U.S. because of its strategy of making products where it sells them.

“We distribute locally, we sell locally, and we pay taxes locally,” he said. “So from our perspective, obviously, it’s not going to make a difference to our business in a micro sense.”

But the possibility of larger ramifications is concerning, he said on a conference call sched-

uled to discuss the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report.

“On a macro sense, this kind of rhetoric is also somewhat worrying because it will have a negative impact on global trade. That will also play into further sentiment that is not positive, and that will then play into the GDP growth rate and disposable income growth rates,” Kent said.

Kent, who will relinquish his post as CEO on May 1 but remain as chairman, called Coke a “multilocal business” with production in more than 200 countries.

EITAN ABRAMOVICH, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Muhtar Kent will relinquish his role as Coca-Cola CEO on May 1 but will remain with the company as chairman.

The company reiterated Thursday it believes corporate tax reform, which Trump and the Republican Congress have endorsed, could help. Kent said Washington’s emphasis must be on “bringing the tax code into the 21st century and making American companies competitive.”

Coca-Cola’s fourth-quarter revenue and profit slipped as the company sold fewer drinks globally while the strong U.S. dollar and one-time items also undercut the performance. Coca-Cola’s net income fell 56% to $550 million.

‘Fifty Shades Darker’ leaves our desires unsatisfied There are a lot of negative things to be said about Fifty Shades Darker. But it does impress in one sense: The eroticalite sequel somehow MOVIE manages to be worse REVIEW than the stupefyingly BRIAN bad Fifty Shades of TRUITT Grey.

Directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross), the abominable Darker (eEEE out of four; rated R; in theaters nationwide Thursday night) takes its pair of complicated Seattle lovebirds — billionaire bondage aficionado Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and his doe-eyed paramour Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) — on a second cinematic chapter filled with predictable twists, naked bedroom antics that could double as an infomercial for Sex Toys R Us, and unintentionally hilarious dialogue.

The twosome decoupled at the end of the first Fifty Shades — and, honestly, should have stayed that way, since it was two hours of Ana getting all manner of red flags that Christian is bad boyfriend material. Yet it’s not too long into Darker that Christian wants to “renegotiate the terms” of their relationship contract from the previous film. In short, the guy wants to prove to Ana that he loves her more than he loves his kinky proclivities.

Christian’s got some serious issues from his childhood, which he begins to reveal to Ana. Meanwhile, she tells him she wants to take it slow and five minutes later, they’re entangled in one of the movie’s many lovemaking sessions. Ana bristles every time Christian tries to exert power

As if Ana (Dakota Johnson) didn’t have enough problems, her boss, Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson), is stalking her in Darker. over her, yet instead of running for the hills, she continually gives over to that control, be it in Christian’s infamous Red Room or outside in the real world.

In the screenplay by Niall Leonard (Fifty Shades author E.L. James’ husband), there’s no plot of any actual importance — the narrative comprises silly soapoperatic shenanigans that exist merely to break up soft-core sequences of Christian and Ana getting busy.

To its credit, Darker introduces a couple of interesting wrinkles in a troubled stalker (Bella Heathcote) who used to be one of Christian’s submissives and Ana’s skeezy new boss (Eric Johnson), yet both of their story threads are thrown aside in frustratingly quick fashion without giving their antagonistic presences time to blossom. At least Kim Basinger

gets to chew some scenery as Christian’s own Mrs. Robinson, who wants to keep him on the sexy dark side.

Johnson still hasn’t found the right role to showcase her skills, because this surely isn’t it.

Dornan is quite talented — as anybody who’s watched the British TV show The Fall can attest — but he inexplicably loses his mojo in these movies. Together? Well, any pair of fish lying next to each other at Seattle’ famed Pike Place Market have more chemistry.

After one round of carnal pleasure, Christian asks Ana why she waited until 21 to lose her virginity to him. Her answer is that she was looking for someone “exceptional” who could measure up to the kind of men Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë wrote about.

She can do better, and really, so can we.

KU announced in 2007 that Krehbiel’s donation would fund the new men’s scholarship hall, named in honor of his parents, at 1301 Ohio St. In 2011, KU Endowment announced a $1.6 million gift from Krehbiel would create the Carl C. Krehbiel German Summer Language Institute Scholarship Fund, supporting students attending programs in Holzkirchen and Eutin, Germany.

Krehbiel himself lived in a scholarship hall and participated in the German program as a KU student. Krehbiel graduated from KU in 1970 with a dual degree in Germanic languages and literature and international relations, according to his obituary. He earned master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Southern California. Krehbiel served in the U. S. Army from 1970 to 1991 —

Daugherty said his own teachers inspired him to pursue a career in teaching.

or the fourth month in a row, the number of calls received by the Lawrence Police Department has decreased.

Each morning, the Journal-World receives a list of the Lawrence Police Department’s activities over the previous 24 hours. At the end of the month, those logs are compiled and compared.

The logs don’t list every single call LPD has received in a given day, but they’re a good starting point. In addition, each incident listed offers only a short description of the call, which is subject to change as investigations continue. Calls do not necessarily result in citations or arrests.

For January, LPD’s officers responded to at least 5,882 calls. This figure is down from 6,056 in December, 6,518 in November and 7,110 in October.

For a different perspective, the number of calls LPD receives each month has decreased by about 17 percent since October. On an average day in January, officers responded to 190 calls.

In October, that number was 229 calls a day.

The top five most common calls for January break down as follows. l 1,133 traffic stops l 770 requests to speak to an officer l 298 follow-up investigations l 291 auto accidents l 264 calls involving

animals The criminal call in January that required the highest number of officers to respond was an early morning police chase on Jan. 12. As of Jan. 20, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said the incident remains under investigation.

Rhoads declined to elaborate on the nature of the chase, but LPD activity logs and the public pages of police reports indicate that the chase began around 12:22 a.m. and that 15 Lawrence police officers responded to the call.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said deputies helped to set up a perimeter and assisted in a search. She declined to offer additional information because the case is under investigation by LPD. The chase began near the intersection of Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive and ended on a park trail or outdoor recreational area, police reports indicate. It is unclear exactly where the chase

ended, but the incident continued until 2:37 a.m.

The report indicates the suspect committed three offenses during the chase: reckless driving, felony obstruction and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer while committing five or more moving violations.

Nobody has been arrested in connection with the incident, the Douglas County Jail’s online booking logs indicate.

Robberies Three robberies were reported in January.

Two were armed robberies, while the other was reported as a strong armed robbery. Police have arrested suspects in two of the incidents, but the suspect in a third remains at large.

John Timothy Baker, 33, and Stacey Nichole Ballard, 23, were arrested on Jan. 17 on suspicion of aggravated robbery regarding a Jan. 8 incident where the two allegedly robbed a 23-year-old Lawrence man, LPD said in a release.

Around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 8, Baker and Ballard pulled up next to the victim in a truck as he was walking near the intersection of West Campus Road and West Hills Terrace, according to police, and they then threatened him with a gun and demanded his belongings.

Both Baker and Ballard are currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $150,000 and $100,000 bonds,

respectively.

A second robbery was also reported on Jan. 8, where a 16-year-old girl told officers two boys had threatened her inside a vehicle with a gun around the 4600 block of West Sixth Street, Rhoads said.

The two boys reportedly escaped with cash.

One of the two boys was later arrested, while the second was questioned and released, Rhoads said. Investigators will submit an affidavit to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office for a charging decision, however.

Updates on the second robbery were not immediately available Thursday.

The third robbery of the month was reported the morning of Jan. 9 when Matthew James Stephens, 18, reportedly entered a Phillips 66 gas station, 1801 W. Second St., and threatened an employee with a hammer, demanding cash.

Stephens made off with $300, according to police.

He was arrested Feb. 2 on suspicion of felony aggravated robbery.

Stephens was released from the Douglas County Jail on Feb. 6 after posting a $50,000 bond, jail logs indicate. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb 13, when a date will be set for his preliminary hearing.

Concert, event venue coming to North Lawrence M

aybe you are still recovering from your Super Bowl party. I know my arteries still burn from the wing sauce, my dog still regrets eating the leftover bacon cheese dip, and the Australian prime minister is still exasperated that whatever caused Lady Gaga to disappear can’t be used to end awkward phone calls. On the heels of all that, I have news that a new party spot is working to open in North Lawrence.

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Back in April I reported that some preliminary plans had been filed for a new concert and event venue in North Lawrence called Northern Sands Venue. Local entrepreneur Michael Westheffer had plans to build the facility at the northwest corner of the Kansas Turnpike and North Third Street intersection.

Then, for several months, there wasn’t much news to report about the project. Well, it looks like it is moving forward again. A site plan has been filed at City Hall that would allow the project to begin construction.

The project proposes to do about $135,000 worth of renovations to the site, which previously housed warehouses and a surplus store that sold

NORTHERN SANDS VENUE will be just a couple hundred feet away from the turnpike exit in North Lawrence. tools and other similar items. Plans call for new restrooms, new landscaping, a covered patio, parking improvements and interior renovations.

Don’t expect the center to host huge events, though. The plans filed

by Lawrence-based Allen Belot Architects indicated that the indoor space will be about 5,000 square feet, and capacity for indoor events would be about 300 people.

The property, though, is being arranged to host outdoor events too. But those also look like they won’t be Woodstock type of affairs. The facility is proposing to have only about 115 parking spaces.

I’ve got a message out to Westheffer to get an update on the project, such as a timeline for opening. When I chatted

with Westheffer in April he told me music concerts would be the breadand-butter of the facility.

He’s had a few years of experience in the music production business, and he said the facility would seek to attract a variety of acts, including rock, country, bluegrass and other genres.

Back in April Westheffer said he hoped Northern Sands Venue would ultimately become something similar to Knuckleheads, which is an event venue in an industrial district near the Missouri River in Kansas City, Mo. “We want to create a place that is not just your everyday place,” Westheffer said at the time.

“We want a place where you can come eat some food, have a good time.

We want to create a next-level environment.”

The facility will have a chance to draw some regional crowds. It will be just a couple hundred feet away from the turnpike exit in North Lawrence.

Westheffer said the facility would seek a liquor license.

I’ll let you know if I hear more from Westheffer about the project.

A meeting place for small businesses Office meetings aren’t quite as loud and as exciting as a music concert — except for that unfortunate time I downloaded the wrong PowerPoint presentation.

But an eastern Lawrence business wants to do its part to make sure small businesses have a place

to meet.

Dee Bisel, the longtime owner of Lawrencebased Minuteman Press, has opened a new meeting center called The Garage. The facility is next door to the Minuteman Press print shop at 1404 E. 24th St. Bisel is making the space available to small businesses free of charge to use for events such as training

sessions, board meetings, referral groups and other such functions.

She’s also open to hosting some nonprofit and charity groups, although she said business-tobusiness functions are primarily what she had in mind when she recently opened the space.

Bisel decided to offer the service after the space next door to her print shop became available for lease. She didn’t have a particular need for the space currently, but she thought she should secure it now for possible expansion in the future. In the meantime, she set it up with six moveable tables and 24 chairs.

“I admire how businesses like Sandbar, Crown Automotive and several banks have provided meeting rooms to the community,” Bisel said. “I just think that is a really nice service to offer, and we were in a position to do it, and I think there is a need for it on the east side of town.”

The meeting room is available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Interested businesses can call Bisel at Minuteman at 842-2656.

Third staff the charm for Beaty

E

arly in David Beaty’s tenure as head football coach at Kansas, athletic director Sheahon Zenger mentioned in passing but with confidence that it had been his experience that it takes until a coach’s third year to get his staff just right.

I made a mental note to revisit Zenger on that topic once Beaty entered his third season. Nothing that has happened here has changed Zenger’s third staff’s the charm stance.

Beaty Beaty’s entire defensive staff — Clint Bowen (coordinator/safeties), Michael Slater (line), Todd Bradford (linebackers), Kenny Perry (co-coordinator/safeties) — remains in tact. Joe DeForest, whose impressive background was a useful resource for the defensive coaches last season, returns as special teams boss. Bradford and DeForest were not on Beaty’s first staff.

Thanks in part to a dreadful offense keeping the defense on the field so often, the Kansas D ranked 109th in total yards (456.2) and 113th in points (37.3) among 128 FBS schools.

Those numbers don’t sound nearly as bad when compared to the previous season, when KU ranked dead-last at 128th in both scoring (46.1) and total yards (560.8). The defense improved by more than 104.6 yards and 8.8 points per game.

Five starters return on defense.

It was on offense that Beaty needed to shake up his staff. Give him credit for re-assigning the offensive coordinator, himself, to full-time head coach. He also dropped his quarterback duties, giving them to promoted Garrett Lincoln.

It took Beaty until his third season to get the man he wanted to run his Air Raid offense.

Doug Meacham shared offensive coordinator duties with Sonny Cumbie at TCU and received a share of the credit when the Horned Frogs became the nation’s most improved offense and Trevone Boykin grew into one Heisman Trophy candidate. Cumbie turned job offers after the past couple of seasons and when that happens, that sometimes means he is given more power to stay put.

Maybe that’s what made the jump to Kansas appealing to Meacham. Whatever the reason, Beaty’s happy to have him as part of his third and best staff he’s had.

Running backs coach Tony Hull, entering his second season, has done such an impressive job recruiting Louisiana and in helping to set a climate that makes playing college football a positive experience for the players, he received a promotion to associate head

STRESSED AT THE STRIPE Josh Jackson still struggling with free throw woes

F

or all of the high-flying dunks, big time passes and huge point totals that have led to six double-doubles, Kansas freshman Josh Jackson still can’t get comfortable at the free throw line.

After making 8-of-11 from the free throw line in back-to-back wins over Texas Tech and Oklahoma in early January, Jackson has made just 26-of-62 free throws in the eight games since.

During that same period, Jackson found his stroke elsewhere and watched his 3-point percentage soar from .257 through 16 games to .355 through 24 games, meaning that in the past eight games, Jackson has shot better from 3-point range (.481) than he has from the free throw line (.419).

That sub-50-percent shooting clip from the charity stripe has plenty of people, including Jackson, concerned about what is ailing him when he steps to the line for what should be easy points.

But the preferred approach toward fixing it continues to be to let Jackson sort it out himself.

“That’s a more mental thing,” said KU assistant Kurtis Townsend while filling in for Bill Self on Tuesday night’s Hawk Talk radio show.

“He doesn’t think about it when he shoots a 3 because it happens so quick. But when they hand him the ball (for a free throw) he’s got 10 seconds, and who knows what’s going through his mind between the time they hand him the ball and he shoots it.”

For the season, Jackson is shooting just .543 from the free throw line (69-of-127), but his recent eight-game stretch has been by far his worst and brought his average from .662 through 16 games to its current mark.

Jackson went to the line almost as many times in those last eight games (62) as he did during KU’s first 16 games (65), which only emphasizes the importance of Jackson finding comfort and confidence at the free throw line.

While the third-ranked Jayhawks (21-3 overall, 9-2 Big 12) certainly would take a few more free points each game, there are reasons beyond the scoreboard that Jackson and the KU coaching staff would like to see his performance at the line improve in the coming weeks.

“We’re not gonna take him out to avoid him getting fouled,” Self said after Jackson’s 2-of5 showing at Kansas State on Monday night.

“He’s gonna have to make ’em because the ball’s gonna be in his hands in late-game situations.”

To that end, Townsend insists that free throw shooting is not something that Jackson or the rest of the team takes lightly. Not only do the Jayhawks shoot them at the end of every practice, but Townsend also said there is an unspoken expectation that the players shoot free

With QB spot not guaranteed, Stanley keeping true to himself

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

After sitting out and playing only on the scout team during his first year in the University of Kansas football program, quarterback Carter Stanley began his redshirt freshman season this past fall as the odd man out — the third quarterback on a team rotating two others in and out of the lineup.

Stanley could’ve written a dissertation on patience by the time the QB from Vero Bech, Florida, got a crack at the starting job in November, with just three games remaining in a regular season that seemed to be going nowhere.

In his first start at KU, Stanley didn’t throw a touchdown pass against Iowa State, but the team played its first close game in a month. The following week, with Stanley orchestrating a crucial fourth> KEEGAN, 3D quarter scoring drive, the

Kansas football adds commitment from Missouri defensive lineman

KANSAS QUARTERBACK CARTER STANLEY talks with media members following a Signing Day news conference earlier this month at the Anderson Family Football Complex.

Jayhawks upset Texas in overtime, marking the first Big 12 victory for head coach David Beaty and the end to a nine-game losing streak.

However, for Stanley at least, he felt as if he really won over his teammates and coaches in the season finale at Kansas State. The

Jayhawks lost, but, unlike in so many of the program’s 44 consecutive setbacks away from Lawrence, KU showed the ability to compete in an opponent’s stadium. What’s more, Stanley threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns,

Less than a week after adding the first player in the 2018 recruiting class, the Kansas football team picked up its eighth pledge Thursday.

Cartez Crook-Jones, a three-star defensive end from Grandview, Mo., announced on Twitter that he was committing to play for the Jayhawks.

Kansas coach David Beaty signaled the commitment with his signature “#NeatDeal” post on Twitter.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound CrookJones attended KU’s Junior Day last weekend. According to Jayhawk Slant, he runs a 40-yard dash in the 4.7-second range and boasts a 33-inch vertical leap. He chose KU over an offer from Iowa State.

“I’m going to be real explosive,”

New York (ap) — Charles Oakley maintains he did nothing wrong before he was surrounded by Madison Square Garden security officials.

Something has happened, though, to turn him from popular player to persona non grata within his former franchise.

Oakley Thursday blamed his strained relationship with the New York Knicks and owner James Dolan for the altercation that led to his ejection and arrest from the Knicks’ 119115 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.

Oakley said during an Oakley ESPN Radio interview that he had been in his seat for just a few minutes when he was surrounded by security, denying that they approached him after he shouted at Dolan.

“Now I’m four rows from this guy, so I’m going to walk in this place and just start hollering, ‘James Dolan! James Dolan!’ I mean, that’s embarrassing, man. I did not do none of that,” Oakley said. “I didn’t know the man was sitting in front of me at first until they walked over there.”

Oakley said he has been told that Dolan must be informed by security whenever he is in the arena, and that MSG staff follows him when he leaves his seat to go the bathroom.

But the Knicks said he was causing trouble Wednesday even before security reached his seat.

“There are dozens of security staff, employees and NYPD that witnessed Oakley’s abusive behavior,” the team said in a statement. “It started when he entered the building and continued until he was arrested and left the building. Every single statement we have received is consistent in describing his actions. Everything he said since the incident is pure fiction.”

Clippers forward Blake Griffin said he recognized Oakley right away and saw him say something to Dolan before the altercation at his seat.

“I was walking down and I saw him. He stopped and he started talking to Dolan,” Griffin said. “But it was crazy. I didn’t know what it was about or anything. I just saw a bunch of commotion.”

Oakley was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of criminal trespass. He is accused of striking one security guard in the face with a closed fist, and when two other people tried to intervene, both were pushed and received cuts.

He is due back in court April 11.

Oakley pushed and shoved his way around the basketball court at MSG for 10 years as a fighting forward during an era of excellence for the Knicks, who made one NBA Finals appearance and became an Eastern Conference power while Oakley played for them from 1988-98.

He was back there brawling again Wednesday, only this time it was a sad sight in what’s perhaps the team’s sorriest era.

The Knicks have become one of the league’s worst teams, winning just one playoff series since 2001 and falling to a franchise-worst 17 wins two years ago. Oakley has been a vocal critic of the performance and that’s led to his falling out with the organization.

The team gave him complimentary tickets and acknowledged him on the video board

Put it on paws? Trump visit uncertain for dog show champ New York (ap) — For years, the champion at the Westminster dog show was treated to quite a victory lap: Visit the morning TV shows.

Up the Empire State Building.

Lunch at Sardi’s. Bark on a Broadway stage.

Oh, plus another perk — a meet-and-greet with Donald Trump.

It’s true. America’s top pooch and the man who would become president, together five times at Trump Tower.

Puckering with Miss P the beagle. Petting little Banana Joe the affenpinscher. Posing on his knees with Hickory the Scottish deerhound.

“Who’s got better hair, him or me?” dog expert David Frei remembers Trump asking while admiring Malachy, a prize Pekingese.

The trips began in 2010 with Sadie the Scottish terrier. Trump once attended the show at Madison Square Garden to see a pal present her poodle, and the friend later helped arrange the merger between Westminster winners and the business giant.

The next champ will be picked Tuesday night, with Preston the mop-like puli a huge favorite among the 2,800 dogs vying for best in show. So, will the custom carry over with President Donald Trump in his new office?

Put that on paws, for now.

The White House didn’t respond to questions about whether Trump would invite the winner to Washington. And there are signs the tradition is ending as Trump transitions to politics: CJ the German shorthaired pointer took the top award last February, but didn’t see Trump during election season.

People in the room for Trump’s visits, in those pre-presidential days, describe him as friendly and relaxed, smiling broadly while spending up to a half-hour with the victors.

A self-confessed “germaphobe,” Trump didn’t seem bothered a bit by the close brushes with the dogs, either.

Will Alexander recalled of his 2015 meeting. “We spoke of mostly sports and dogs.”

“The whole time he was holding her in his arms. She even left beagle hair on his black suit and it didn’t faze him,” he said.

Trump often brought his children in to see the dogs, too.

“He could not have been more engaging,” said Frei, host of Westminster telecasts for 27 years. “He did not have any qualms.”

“He wasn’t like a wealthy businessman ...

‘It’s 12:07, time for me to make phone calls,’” Frei said.

Every president since Harry S. Truman has owned a pooch while in office. Which leads to the big question: Is there a dog in the White House future?

No definitive answer from Trump yet.

In 2008, President George W. Bush and wife Laura met adorable Westminster winner Uno the beagle in the Rose Garden and gave him a red, white and blue collar.

Bush had his own beloved dog, Barney, who freely wandered the West Wing. President Barack Obama and his family had a pair of Portuguese water dogs, Bo and Sunny — in 2015, a prime Westminster contender named Matisse was Sunny’s cousin.

Several blocks from the White House, on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Newseum features the popular display “First Dogs: American Presidents and Their Pets.”

“Pets are part of the presidential experience,” said Patty Rhule, director of exhibit development at the museum.

“Presidents have used their pets to connect with their public,” she said,

FSHS wrestling has eyes set on league title When Free State wrestler Ben Hill describes his freshman season in the wrestling program, it’s hard to believe it’s the same team.

“We were pretty bad,” said Hill, now a senior at 145 pounds.

The Firebirds, ranked No. 7 in Class 6A, will be one of the contenders when they compete at the Sunflower League meet, which begins at 9 a.m Saturday at Shawnee Mission South.

The program’s transformation started three years ago. Free State added some young and talented wrestlers, and practices became more serious.

The Firebirds finished second in the league in 2015 and third last year.

They’ve won 26 straight duals.

“We work a lot harder and we don’t play around in practice,” Hill said. “We do mess around, but we get down to work and get down to business. We condition hard. We just go 10 times harder and work 10 times harder than I ever did freshman year. I think that’s a big difference.”

Looking for their first league title since 2003, the Firebirds are expected to contend with Olathe North (ranked No. 3 in 6A) and Leavenworth.

“They’ve got some studs that we really have to watch out for,” Free State coach Mike Gillman said of Olathe North, “but we’ve got a few of them in our room, too.”

Free State has three wrestlers ranked among the top in the state

throws on their own free time, as well, be it at the practice gym, inside Allen Fieldhouse or at the smaller gym at McCarthy Hall.

“You know, we’ve worked with him and he’ll make 90 percent in practice, I promise you,” Townsend said of Jackson. “And then he gets in the game and he says it’s a whole different kind of pressure. So that’s kind of mental for him, but it’s not because he’s not working at it or trying. That’s just something that he’s gotta figure out.”

in their weight classes: freshman Lou Fincher (106 pounds), junior Tate Steele (138) and junior Gage Foster (170).

Steele, the school’s first state champion wrestler, won league titles in his first two seasons.

He’s undefeated this year.

“Tate and Isaiah (Jacobs, 126 pounds) are pretty good role models,” Fincher said. “They help me a lot. They teach me a lot of moves and a lot of technique. They give me a lot of confidence that I can win.”

Despite a tough regional tournament looming on the schedule next week, the Firebirds place a lot of emphasis on their league results. Champions have a spot on the team’s wall.

Plus all of the Firebirds are invested in helping the program take another step in a positive direction.

“It’s a tremendous turnaround,” Gillman said. “The kids are believing in everything that’s happening in the room. They believe in each other. It’s really fun to watch them wrestle each other, but then that partner is on the mat cheering for that kid at evJournal-World File Photo ery match.

The whole saga is not unlike one Kansas already went through once this season.

Remember back in November, when the Jayhawks opened the season by hitting just 12-of-52 3-point attempts (.231) in their first three games, leaving people everywhere wondering what was wrong with the Jayhawks’ outside shooting?

Each time the Jayhawks were asked, no matter who was being interviewed, the thought that rolled off their tongues sounded something like this: “We’ll be fine.”

It turns out, they were right. Kansas is currently shooting .417 from himself as the team’s QB. “I tried to show toughness to the guys,” he said this past week, “and I’ve learned in the past guys on the team, they appreciate that and they support that. I just tried to be the best leader and best motivator that I could be.”

Stanley didn’t want to show any weakness when his teammates needed him, but his play at KState left an impression on his head coach, too.

“That kid’s a tough sucker, boy,” Beaty said of the incumbent starting quarterback. “I’m not gonna say it publicly before we play against a team because they will

Lawrence High’s bowling teams placed fourth in the Washburn Rural quadrangular Thursday at Westridge Lanes in Topeka.

Adonis Stanwix led the LHS boys with a 585 series while Javier Lemmons followed with a 570.

For the Lawrence girls, Holly Evans rolled a 564 series with a high-game of 203.

Royals, Cubs make trade Chicago (ap) — The Chicago Cubs have acquired right-hander Alec Mills from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Donnie Dewees.

Mills was designated for assignment earlier Wednesday after the Royals signed free agent pitcher Jason Hammel, who played last season for the World Series champion Cubs.

The 25-year-old Mills made his major league debut last year, going 0-0 in three games and giving up five runs in 3 1/3 innings.

He was a combined 5-5 with a 3.22 ERA at Triple-A and Double-A. The 23-year-old Dewees hit a combined .284 with 74 RBIs and 31 steals at two Class A levels.

Bragg’s ankle OK During his regular weekly meeting with the media on Thursday, Self said the injured left ankle that momentarily

knocked Carlton Bragg Jr. from the Kansas State game on Monday night had not been a problem this week.

“He practiced (Wednesday),” Self said of Bragg, who continued to practice with the team during a recent threegame suspension that was lifted Monday night.

“We shot (Wednesday), and then the guys that hadn’t played a ton of minutes practiced. So hopefully we’ve got kind of a combination of having a workout in and keeping guys off their feet for the most part, as well.”

Both Self and junior Devonté Graham said the gap between games — Monday at KSU to Satur-

blitz us every dadgum play and hit him, but the kid could barely lift his arm on Wednesday before we played K-State.

“There was one play in particular in the game where his arm locked on him and he couldn’t get the ball out,” KU’s thirdyear coach added. “We were tryin’ to throw a shallow to (receiver) Steven Sims, and if we can get it to him, he’s runnin’ for a long time — it was a third-down play. But when (Stanley) ripped his arm up, it locked up on him. He couldn’t get it goin’. That’s a tough dude. He played, that dude played through a lot

of pain, for the last two weeks, and that was very impressive to me and us.”

In his three starts, Stanley completed 71 of 124 passes (57.3 percent) for 693 yards, with three touchdowns and four interceptions, while clearly earning the respect of KU’s coaches and players. Still, as he moves forward with his offseason work ahead of his sophomore year, a return to the No. 1 spot on the depth chart is far from guaranteed.

One of the most significant additions of the Jayhawks’ 2017 recruiting class, former Washington State quarterback Peyton Bender, signed in December and already is

on campus this semester.

Beaty expects Bender, a junior who starred last season at Itawamba Community College in Mississippi, to challenge Stanley for starting honors.

The experience of the past two seasons and the fashion in which Stanley finished 2016 mean he isn’t sweating the arrival of some competition. He and Bender say they hit it off once the juco transfer arrived in Lawrence. Now they’re both working toward a common goal while choosing not to say much about the competition to become KU’s starting quarterback for 2017.

That’s the nature of the

3-point range as a team, a number that balloons to .438 since that rough three-game stretch to open the season.

Whether Jackson’s free-throw shooting takes a similar turn remains to be seen. But Townsend and the rest of the Jayhawks are betting on Jackson.

“He’s mentally tough enough to overcome something like that,” Townsend said. “I think he’ll be fine as we go along.”

Either someone is trying to take your job or you’re trying to snatch it away from someone else.

As for his approach in the months ahead, Stanley said he’ll keep competing, just as he did mostly behind the scenes the previous two seasons. One thing he won’t do, Stanley added, is change who he is.

His head coach wouldn’t expect him to, either.

“And the great thing about Peyton and Carter is those kids are not afraid to compete,” Beaty said.
