Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday criticized a Senate Republican tax bill that would reverse some of the tax cuts he championed in 2012, saying the plan would punish the middle class and people who create jobs in Kansas.

ing year.

That’s because the bill would repeal the LLC exemption retroactively to Jan. 1, 2017, but the higher individual income tax rates would not take effect until Jan. 1, 2018.

But some are saying the bill would only give temporary relief for the state’s short-term budget shortfalls because it does not repeal what many have called the “march to zero,” a formula in the tax law that takes effect in 2020 and triggers automatic cuts in individual rates whenever state revenues reach certain benchmarks.

During committee discussions Monday, the panel seemed split between those who think the bill does not do enough and those who oppose any form of tax increase.

Democrats have argued that the state needs to raise between $900 million and $1 billion a year in new revenues to solve what they call the state’s “structural imbalance.”

“I’m hearing a recurring theme from proponents of this bill.

It sounds like it’s not bringing enough to the table,” said Sen. Tom Holland, D- Holland Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the committee.

“I would agree that it probably doesn’t do enough,” said Bernie Koch of the Kansas Economic Progress Council, who testified in favor of the bill. He also explained that he pronounces his last name “Cook” and is not related to the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, owners of Koch Industries, who pronounce their names “Coke.”

But a number of ordinary Kansans came to testify against the bill, including Barbara Paules of Bonner Springs, who

said she is a constituent of Sen. Holland’s. She said she opposed raising individual rates because even with the cuts the state has made since 2012, the changes in deduction allowances and other measures have actually caused her total tax liability to go up.

“Because of that, my personal tax liability to the state of Kansas, and the actual taxes paid have doubled since 2011,” she said.

Drew Quinn, vice president of a commercial real estate firm in Johnson County, said repealing the tax cuts would send a negative message to the business community outside of Kansas.

“If you go and make this change after a mere four years, you are screaming to the outside public that you cannot trust the state of Kansas, you cannot make business plans, you don’t want to come here because we’re unreliable and we want to change our tax policies because we can’t manage our state.”

Drew and others suggested the state’s problem is with spending, not revenue, and he urged lawmakers to look for ways to cut spending and make government more efficient.

citizenship law unconstitutional.

The advisory panel conducted hearings in January 2016 and heard testimony about the impact that the SAFE Act has had on voting rights and voter participation in Kansas. Kobach, who championed passage of that law in 2011, testified at those hearings and said he did not think the laws had had any negative impact on voter participation. But others said the law — in particular the requirement that people show documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register — had made it much more difficult for people to vote.

The draft report is being circulated to people who submitted testimony or who had expressed interest in being updated on the committee’s proceedings. The panel is now taking feedback and suggested changes before issuing its final report. The next meeting of the committee will be by teleconference on Wednesday Feb. 22.

In its draft report, however, the advisory committee suggests a number of problems with

the law and how it has been implemented since it took effect in 2013.

It notes, for example, that people seeking identification documents are supposed to be able to receive them for free from state agencies.

“However, in practice, a number of eligible citizens may be required to pay for their documents.

Any such instances may effectively be compared to a poll tax, which is unconstitutional under both the 14th and 24th Amendments.”

It also suggests that young voters are disproportionately affected because it only applies to voters who first registered in their county after the law took effect in 2013.

And it notes that there have been cases in which voters’ information has been lost as it is transferred between agencies such as the Division of Vehicles and county election offices, adding, “Such data loss has resulted in citizens facing requests to submit the same identification documents multiple times, creating confusion and deterring eventual voter participation.”

It also suggests that,

“Improper or insufficient training of poll workers has resulted in eligible voters being turned away because the poll workers were unaware that the identification provided is in fact considered ‘acceptable’ under the SAFE Act requirements.”

In a telephone interview Monday, Kobach disputed those findings and pointed to a survey his office commissioned, which was submitted as evidence in the federal lawsuit, finding that 77 percent of those surveyed support the proof of citizenship law, while only 14 percent opposed the requirement and 9 percent had no opinion.

“The other thing I would say about the report is it is very lopsided,” Kobach said.

“It includes testimony almost entirely from left-wing opponents of proof of citizenship, and I find that problematic when nearly 80 percent of Kansans support the proof of citizenship requirement in scientific surveys.”

that it can serve Amtrak,” Stoddard said. “But there are opportunities, perhaps for public meeting space, that kind of thing, that wouldn’t be disruptive to the Amtrak use that will be able to be contemplated on down the road.”

Stoddard said the fact that the station is still in use also complicated negotiations, which require the city to have lease agreements with the railway and Amtrak.

The building is currently owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, which will transfer ownership of the building to the city at no cost and maintain ownership of the land the building sits on. As part of the deal, the railway will lease the land to the city for a nominal cost and the city will lease part of the building to Amtrak.

Amtrak will provide funding for modifica-

tions to bring the building into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Stoddard estimates the city’s share of the restoration to be about $160,000, less any funds from the sale of historic tax credits.

She said costs will be finalized once the project is bid, which must occur by June.

If the City Commission approves the deal, the city will take over the ownership of the building following a closing with BNSF and Amtrak, Stoddard said. She said the restoration of the Santa Fe depot would start in late summer or early fall, and be completed sometime in 2018.

That statement came as the Senate tax committee opened hearings on the bill, which would raise individual income tax rates by three-tenths of a percent and repeal the so-called LLC loophole that allows the owners of more than 330,000 farms and businesses to pay no state income taxes on their business earnings.

“Senator (Susan) Wagle’s tax plan needlessly harms the real people that serve as the lifeblood of Kansas,” Brownback said.

“It punishes the middle class — teachers, police officers and Brownback nurses — working hard to provide for their families and serve their communities.”

Budget officials estimate that the plan would raise about $288 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1, and $372 million a year after it is fully implemented the follow-

City officials say the acquisition will clear the way for the city to begin a $1.5 million restoration of the mid-century station, similar to one done at Union Pacific Depot in North Lawrence.

“It really does position us, much like the other depot, in order for us to be able to fix it up, make sure that it’s preserved for the future and available to continue to serve Amtrak and also the community, however we define that in the future,” said Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard.

The building itself has had limited upkeep in recent years, and taking control of the station will allow the city to use a $1.2

million state transportation grant it won in 2013 to restore the building.

Stoddard said the city would also be able to add the building to the register of historic places.

Should the project go forward, it would be the culmination of an effort begun in 2008 by a local preservation group, Depot Redux, which prompted the city to restore the station.

Unlike the Union Pacific Depot, the Santa Fe depot is an active railway stop.

Committee chairwoman Sen. Caryn Tyson, though, tried to limit all testimony and discussion just to the issue of income taxes, and she would not allow people testifying to offer thoughts on spending or other kinds of taxes.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said that was both frustrating and concerning for some on the committee.

“We all know the discussion has to be wider than just income Francisco tax, and if you narrow comments from conferees, does that mean we have to narrow what we do with the bill?” she said. “There’s a bill on tax. It’s going to be open on the floor to any kind of amendments, so why would you not want the committee to weigh in?”

The committee plans to start debating amendments to the bill today, and could vote that day or later in the week on whether to send it to the full Senate.

Bragg’s diversion agreement effectively closes drug paraphernalia case

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

After being suspended three games, University of Kansas men’s basketball player Carlton Bragg Jr. was back in uniform Monday night against Kansas State.

It was Bragg’s first time on the court in a KU men’s basketball game since Jan. 26, when Kansas coach Bill Self suspended the 21-year-old sophomore from Cleveland for the second time this season following what the coach deemed “a violation of team rules.”

Off the court, Bragg’s recent drug parapher-

nalia case appears to be wrapped up.

Bragg was charged Jan. 30 with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor, in Lawrence Municipal Court.

He was granted a diversion Wednesday. After requesting it from the court Bragg Wednesday, the Journal-World was given a copy of the diversion agreement on Monday.

Bragg’s six-month di-

version agreement says he must not violate any ordinance, statute or resolution, and if he is arrested or convicted of any offense, he must inform the city prosecutor’s office. The agreement notes that minor traffic infractions don’t count.

He also must pay a $300 diversion fee and $63 in court costs by April 28.

In the agreement, Bragg affirmed by initialing that he has never been previously convicted of or participated in a diversion agreement for such an offense.

If Bragg violates the agreement, the city may initiate prosecution on the drug paraphernalia

M

aybe it was shoppers buying an extra large Thanksgiving turkey.

Maybe it was voters buying post-election migraine medicine, or maybe it was prescient Atlanta Falcons fans buying choke collars. Whatever the case, Lawrence shoppers appeared to be big spenders during the early holiday shopping season, a new report from the state shows.

The city received its first sales tax check of 2017 from the Kansas Department of Revenue. Although the check is the city’s January distribution, it actually measures sales that took place in November.

The report shows Lawrence sales tax collections were up 6.7 percent in November from the same period a year earlier. That was the best growth rate of any large retail community in the state.

The latest report continues a trend. Throughout 2016, Lawrence had the largest sales tax growth rate of any of the large retail communi-

This latest report only shows one month worth of activity, but it was an important month for retailers.

charge, according to the agreement. If he successfully completes the diversion, he may petition for the charge to be expunged after three years.

Supervising city prosecutor Elizabeth Hafoka said Bragg’s diversion process was routine.

He submitted his application the day his citation was filed, she said. The court processed it along with other applications pending that day and notified his attorney when it had been approved.

“Diversion applications are processed as they are received,” Hafoka said.

Trial setting rescheduled for woman accused of battering Bragg

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A trial-setting hearing for the woman accused of punching and shoving University of Kansas basketball player Carlton Bragg Jr. was postponed Monday afternoon.

Saleeha Soofi, 19, appeared in Douglas County District Court Monday to be scheduled for a criminal trial.

She faces a single misdemeanor charge of battery.

During Soofi Monday’s hearing, however, prosecutor C.J. Rieg told Judge Peggy Kittel that the discovery process was not yet complete and asked for the hearing to be pushed back.

delay in the processing of Mr. Bragg’s diversion application. We followed our regular procedures.”

Four days after Bragg’s most recent suspension was announced, it was revealed that he had been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in a case stemming from a rape investigation at the team’s on-campus apartment building, McCarthy Hall at 1741 Naismith Drive.

Police confiscated two glass smoking devices with residue, according to the corresponding KU police report. That report indicates the possession occurred between Dec. 17

Kittel granted Rieg’s request and rescheduled Soofi’s trial-setting hearing for 1:30 p.m. March 6.

“We should have all the discovery set and we should know which way the case is going,” Rieg said regarding the newly scheduled hearing.

Soofi is accused of hitting Bragg, 21, during an argument the two had on Dec. 9, 2016, during a Delta Upsilon fraternity party.

According to an arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court, Soofi shoved Bragg in the chest several times and placed her left hand on his neck and pushed him against a wall.

Bragg was arrested and charged with battery, but the charge was dropped after video evidence from the scene appeared to show that he had acted in self-defense, according to

prosecutors.

Bragg was also temporarily suspended from the basketball team, but the suspension was lifted after the charge was dropped.

A single charge of battery was then filed against Soofi on Dec. 14.

Animal rights advocates speak against greyhound racing bill

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

T opeka — Animal rights advocates from Lawrence were among the people who testified Monday against a bill aimed at reviving the state’s dormant greyhound racing industry.

“Greyhound racing is an inhumane activity that’s been largely rejected by your constituents and the American public,” Midge Grinstead, a Lawrence resident and state director of the Humane Society of the U.S., told the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

That committee is considering a bill that would reduce the fees that racetrack owners now have to pay for the right to place slot machines in their facilities. The bill is being sponsored by Rep. John Barker, the committee chairman, who is from Abilene, home of the Greyhound Hall of Fame.

Kansas legalized pari-

‘‘

Greyhound racing is an inhumane activity that’s been largely rejected by your constituents and the American public.”

— Midge Grinstead, state director of the Humane Society of the U.S.

mutuel wagering on dog and horse races when voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1986. That led to development of the Woodlands race track in Kansas City, Kan., as well as dog tracks in Wichita and Frontenac.

Soon after that, though, Missouri authorized riverboat casinos and the racing industry in Kansas quickly began to fade away.

Race track owners in Kansas lobbied unsuccessfully for years for the right to have slot machines at their facilities, but they were often in competition with other gaming interests that wanted to legalize full-fledged casinos.

Finally, in 2007, Kansas passed the Expanded Lottery Act which authorized both casino gaming at state-owed and operated casinos

and slot machines at race tracks. By that time, though, it was too late for the Camptown Greyhound Park in Frontenac, which closed in November 2000.

Meanwhile, owners of the other two tracks never took advantage of the law because it only allowed them to keep 25 percent of the revenue from slot machines.

House Bill 2173 would raise that to more than 50 percent.

Terry Humphrey, a lobbyist for the Humane Society Legislative Fund of Kansas, said the bill essentially calls for using slot machines to subsidize greyhound racing, which she called “a cruel sport that maims and injures, and sometimes kills, thousands of dogs in the name of entertainment.”

She also noted that the

Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., voted last spring to prohibit dog racing at the Woodlands in the event that facility ever reopens.

The committee also received written testimony opposing the bill from Kate Meghji, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, and Katie Barnett, a Lawrence attorney who practices animal law.

Most other opponents of the bill, however, said the biggest consequence of the bill would be to violate an agreement in place with the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, south of Wichita.

The Expanded Lottery Act established four gaming “zones” in Kansas and authorized the Kansas Lottery to operate one gaming facility in each zone, subject to voter approval in the counties where the casino would be located.

In 2007, voters in Sedgwick County rejected a proposal for a Wichita-area casino.

But voters in neighbor-

ing Sumner County had previously approved one in 2005, and so the south-central Kansas casino was placed in Sumner County.

Peninsula Gaming Partners LLC was chosen as the manager of what is now the Kansas Star Casino and paid the state a $25 million privilege fee. At that time, Sedgwick County voters had rejected allowing a casino to open there or to have slot machines at the race track, and so it was assumed that both of those ideas were off the table as far as Sedgwick County was concerned.

Barker’s bill, however, would authorize

a second vote in Sedgwick County. When he introduced a similar bill in 2016, Attorney General Derek Schmidt issued an opinion that said such an “after-thefact change” in state law would be viewed as a breach of contract, entitling Peninsula to repayment of its $25 million privilege fee, plus 10 percent annual interest.

The committee has scheduled two days of hearings on the bill.

Supporters of the bill are scheduled to testify today.

Lawrence City Commission to consider $11.3 million in energy efficiency upgrades

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

City of Lawrence facilities could soon get millions in upgrades to make them more energy efficient.

At their meeting Tuesday, city commissioners will decide whether to approve $11.3 million in energy efficient improvements to lighting, heating and cooling systems, and other city equipment.

“It’s going to yield some really visible and exciting energy saving projects for the city,” said Eileen Horn, sustainability coordinator for Lawrence and Douglas County. “And we’re going to get to do them all at once, which we never get to do.”

A key part of the deal is that the energy savings balance out to cover the costs of the improvements, which will be paid for using green bonds, the first such bonds to be issued in Kansas. All the improvements scheduled as part of the project would pay for themselves over the 22-year payback period of the bonds.

Horn said the scope of the improvements were picked in order to create a neutral budget impact.

“It allows us to use energy saving to pay back the financing,” Horn said.

“We basically scaled the scope of the project to the energy savings, so some projects had to fall off the list.”

The general contractor of the project, Lawrencebased 360 Energy Engineers, completed an en-

ergy audit of all the city’s facilities and will guarantee the energy savings as part of a performance contract with the city.

The project is part of the state’s Facilities Conservation Improvement Program, which the commission voted to join in December 2015. Horn said FCIP reviewed the energy savings estimates and a legal team reviewed the performance contract with 360 Energy Engineers.

If approved by the commission, the improvements would call

for 30 comprehensive projects, some of which will make improvements to all of the approximately 50 facilities operated by the city. Horn said if approved by the commission, construction would begin in March, with the goal of completing all projects by December.

Four of the projects would top $1 million and are as follows: l Energy and indoor air quality improvements at the Indoor Aquatic Center: about $1.7 million l LED lights and updated controls for all city

Saving

buildings: about $1.4 million. l Updated lighting for sports fields operated by the Parks and Recreation Department: about $1.3 million l Upgrades, additions and optimization of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for all city buildings: about $1.1 million The City Commission meets at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E.

Let’s be transit friendly The city should be mindful of the importance of Greyhound bus service as it negotiates an operating deal with the company.

C

ity commissioners spend a good amount of time — and public money — coming up with ways that residents can rely less on personal automobiles. Hence all the talk about how Lawrence needs to be pedestrian friendly, biker friendly and public transit friendly.

Hopefully city commissioners will extend that attitude to the issue of Greyhound bus service and be sufficiently friendly in negotiating a deal to allow the bus company to operate in downtown Lawrence.

Greyhound for months has been looking for a permanent home for its Lawrence bus stop since a west Lawrence convenience store that once served as the stop closed. The city has been allowing Greyhound to use a portion of city rightof-way near City Hall free of charge, but both parties are looking for a change.

The city has proposed the Greyhound stop move to a portion of city right-ofway north of the Lawrence Public Library.

Being close to the library may prove to be beneficial to Greyhound riders as they could wait inside the library, use the restrooms, and even take advantage of the library’s coffee shop and other such services.

City officials, however, have proposed Greyhound pay a $1,000 per month lease fee for the city right-of-way. Greyhound has balked at that price. City Commissioners at their meeting tonight will provide guidance on the issue.

Commissioners would be well-served to remember the big picture when considering the Greyhound request. If commissioners really do want local residents to rely less on personal automobiles, then systems need to be in place for people who want to travel outside the city.

Greyhound can help fill that need.

Along with Amtrak train service, the bus line is one of the few ways for Lawrence residents to travel outside the city without a personal automobile. It is fine for the city to ask Greyhound to pay something for the use of city right-of-way.

Greyhound is a for-profit company, after all. But whether $1,000 a month is the right number is debatable.

Lawrence should not let the monthly lease fee be an impediment to making a deal with Greyhound. It would be a shame if Greyhound made a decision that it no longer made sense to offer service in Lawrence.

City commissioners also would end up looking silly in such a deal. City residents pay millions of dollars in sales taxes to support the city’s transit system — the T — and will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to improve the Santa Fe Train Depot in East Lawrence to make the facility more attractive to Amtrak users. Compared with those types of expenditures, the $12,000 in annual lease payments from Greyhound seem pretty insignificant to help further a community goal of making Lawrence a more transit-friendly community.

The Arab Spring, six years later Washington — The Arab Spring may seem like a distant memory, but a new report by a team of Arab and American analysts argues that across the Middle East people still feel the same yearning for better governance and rule of law that motivated protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

The persistence of this vision of more modern and just government is important to remember, especially at a time when the Trump administration is so focused on the threatening image of Islamist extremism. The study is a reminder that most residents of Muslimmajority countries in the Middle East want the same things that Americans do: justice, dignity, freedom and prosperity.

It was six years ago this month that protesters toppled the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, which marked the zenith of the Arab uprising. Since then, the trends have mostly been disastrous for the Arabs, with civil wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen and the rise of the hyper-violent Islamic State.

Despite these reversals, Arabs still embrace an agenda of better governance, according to the report, titled “Arab Fractures: Citizens, States, and Social Contracts,” which was published last week by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The lead author was Marwan Muasher, a former Jordanian foreign minister. He was joined by three other Arabs and three Americans.

In a survey of 103 promi-

“

The study is a reminder that most residents of Muslimmajority countries in the Middle East want the same things that Americans do: justice, dignity, freedom and prosperity.” nent Arabs conducted for the study, authoritarianism and corruption were cited as among the region’s top two problems, identified by 65 and 48 of the respondents, respectively. These problems of governance were seen as more important than terrorism, sectarian strife or other security issues.

“Six years into the Arab uprisings, most Arab states are still facing a crisis in governance,” the report argues.

That includes most of the region’s monarchies, such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which have been more stable than their neighbors but whose subjects still hunger for a more open and dynamic political life.

The report draws on a survey called the “Arab Barometer,” conducted biennially since 2006 in 15 Arab countries by Princeton Uni-

versity, the University of Michigan and a group called the Arab Reform Initiative.

The findings illustrate the desire among Arabs for better, freer political systems.

In the latest installment, conducted last year, corruption and the economy were identified as the top two problems.

Respondents were surprisingly frank. A question asking people if there was “some or a lot” of corruption in their governments got a positive response from 90 percent of Tunisians, 84 percent of Egyptians and Algerians, 83 percent of Palestinians, 76 percent of Moroccans and 63 percent of Jordanians.

The internet has transformed the Arab world more than most Westerners realize. According to the Carnegie study, Arabs average more than five hours a day online. Saudis in 2014 were the highest per-capita watchers of YouTube videos globally, with over 90 million a day collectively, and had the world’s highest Twitter penetration rate, at 33 percent. In 2014, 17 million tweets a day originated in the Arab world.

Thanks to the internet, citizens feel connected to each other and the outside world. They want human rights — including the right to criticize their governments. Surprisingly, according to the 2016 Arab Barometer, two-thirds of those surveyed thought they could criticize their governments without fear.

This passion for better governance matters because it comes amid such a

desolate landscape. The report notes: “It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the catastrophe” that has befallen the Arab world since February 2011. As of 2015, more than 143 million Arabs were living in countries afflicted by war or occupation. While Arabs are only 5 percent of the world’s population, they make up half its refugees, the study notes.

The study bluntly blames the persistence of police-state tactics in much of the Arab world for slow political development, arguing: “The predominance of the security sectors and armed forces in Arab states has contributed significantly to the region’s current political and governance crises.”

The study builds on the landmark 2002 Arab Human Development Report, prepared by independent Arab researchers for the United Nations Development Program. That study identified “profound deficits in political freedoms, education and women’s empowerment,” the new Carnegie study notes. “Yet nearly 15 years later, all three challenges remain and new challenges have emerged.”

The path toward better governance must be anchored in a respect for pluralism, argues Muasher in a concluding chapter. A “suffocating uniformity” has contributed to “the stagnation of Arab societies,” he writes. This self-critique by prominent Arab analysts provides a baseline for change.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 7, 1917: years l “Skinny Wilson, who ago has been in police court for IN 1917 drunkenness so often that the officers throw up their hands when asked about the exact number of times, is in again. But this time, to vary the monotony of the proceedings, Skinny is in on a different charge. He is accused of stealing a pair of trousers from Abe Wolfson’s store. Wilson had the trousers tucked inside his coat when he appeared at the police station of his own accord last night.”

Tired of alternative facts? Go to a museum

By Leonard Krishtalka

Alternative reality — or “alternative facts” — used to be the stuff of science fiction. Now it’s the stuff of everyday fiction. Among recent examples of patently false “alternative facts” are 3–5 million illegal votes cast in the presidential election, the size of the inaugural crowd on the Washington Mall, lame excuses for the bankrupt Kansas economy, and the anti-science views of members of the U.S. House Science Committee.

“Alternative facts” weren’t invented in 2016. They’ve been with us for thousands of years — mythical beliefs people formed to explain natural phenomena. Eventually, these “alternative facts” were trumped by the evidence of “true facts.” So, attributing disease to “angry spirits” gave way to viruses, bacteria and other natural causes.

And the notion that the sun, moon, stars and planets revolve around the Earth was nixed by Copernicus and by Galileo’s telescope.

Well, apparently not.

Check out fixedearth.com and its banner claim: “The Earth is not rotating … nor is it going around the sun.” Preposterous? Sure. But not any more preposterous than the current industry in fabricating “alter-

native facts.”

One can’t be polite about this. “Alternative facts” are doublespeak for baloney.

At best, they are cheap, Krishtalka childish political spin. At worst, they are willful, comforting delusions in a personal fantasyland that undermine truth, reason and the common good.

Real leaders face real facts. They don’t excoriate the press for exposing “alternative fact” whoppers.

They don’t have hired sycophants concocting “alternative facts” to soft-pedal pernicious racial and religious prejudice; or deny the hardwon findings of science; or paper over the failure of Laffer, supply-side, voodoo economics; or accuse the EPA, NOAA, the Department of Energy and NASA of being enemies of the state — particularly when these agencies have discovered and applied true facts that have made America freer, healthier, happier and more prosperous than at any time in history.

Perhaps the last remaining sanctuary of true facts is the museum. Surveys indicate that people trust what they see, read, hear and touch

in museum galleries more than any other information source, including traditional newspapers, television, textbooks and online media.

The monstrous skeleton of the mosasaur, still partly embedded in the 80-millionyear-old Kansas chalk, is a true fact. So are the millions of animals and plants that tell us about the diversity of life on Earth and why sustaining it matters for the air we breathe, food we eat and diseases we cure.

Message to the Science Committee: Museums record how upheavals in the environment and climate force massive extinctions, whether caused by nature — no more dinosaurs, mastodons, and sabre-tooth cats, to name only a few — or by us. Museum specimens document our bloody hand in yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s destruction of habitats and species. Already gone are African black rhinos, the Great Auk, Tasmanian tiger, Passenger pigeon, Carolina parakeet, Stellers sea cow, the Chinese river dolphin and many more. Not long for this world are leopards, tigers the rhinoceroses of Java and Sumatra, and the species of Indian and Sumatran elephants. And we’ll bid goodbye soon to orangutans and

gorillas, our kin with whom, along with chimps, we share most of our genes.

Museum paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, and artifacts tell us the true facts of our being, how we are driven to discover and understand and depict and respond to what we experience. They show us how we love and hate, bring joy and suffering, cause death and birth, make war, make peace, worship deities and divas, and how we see color and light and black and white.

The Washington Mall is crammed end to end with true facts, all more important than the size of a crowd.

Memorials of wars and presidents. Airplanes and rockets lifting off in air and space. The life of the planet evolving in natural history.

Art revealing our world and sensibilities in the National Gallery. Artifacts in three museums relating the triumphs and tragedies of Americans, American Indians and African Americans.

There, for all to know, are the histories and “alternative facts” that we should never repeat.

Lawrence’s numbers will be worth watching in 2017. Sales taxes are more important

than ever for City Hall finances. Both the city and county are now operating under the state’s property tax lid, which means it is more difficult for those governments to raise property tax rates without holding an election. Any growth in sales tax revenues would help them avoid contemplating that type of property tax increase.

Travel ban reveals legal clash Presidential power vs. constitutional precedent is at issue

Alan Gomez and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The legal battle over President Trump’s temporary travel ban targeting seven majority-Muslim countries likely will take weeks to resolve and could require the Supreme Court to make the final decision. But the arguments challenging and defending the executive order have become clear.

The Justice Department argues that a president has broad powers to act unilaterally on

questions of immigration and national security. It says judges have only limited powers to secondguess such decisions and urges the court to allow Trump’s immigration order to go back into effect.

Opponents concede that a president has some power on his own, but they say Trump overstepped by banning people from specific countries and those who follow a specific religion. They contend he violated core principles of the Constitution and ignored laws passed by Congress.

Trump’s order instituted a 120day ban on refugees entering the U.S. and a 90-day ban for most citizens of Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The order also indefinitely barred

Syrians from entering the USA. He said his goal was to improve background checks to make sure terrorists are not admitted inadvertently.

The order was blocked by U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle on Friday and is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco. A three-judge panel of that court will hear arguments by telephone Tuesday afternoon and could rule shortly thereafter. Then the Supreme Court could get involved.

GOVERNMENT’S ARGUMENT

The Justice Department’s pitch, first made Sunday morning at the district court level in Washington state and amplified late Monday to the appeals court, is that

UNITED STATES COURTS VIA EPA

U.S. District Judge James Robart listens at a hearing in Seattle debating President Trump’s immigration order targeting seven majorityMuslim countries. He blocked Trump’s order nationwide.

Trump has both constitutional and legal authority in matters of national security dating back at least to 1952.

“The state asks the courts to take the extraordinary step of second-guessing a formal national security judgment made by the president himself pursuant to broad grants of statutory authority,” it argues in its latest brief.

Justice Department lawyers say most of those affected by the ban have never entered the United States before. Such a person, they say, “requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights” under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. If anyone should get relief from Trump’s order, the brief says, it v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

IN THIS UKRAINE CITY, WAR IS ‘ENDLESS’

For those who have nowhere else to go, hope is hard to find in a conflict that feels forgotten

Dan Peleschuk

Special for USA TODAY AVDIIVKA , UKRAINE

Residents of this eastern Ukraine city were restoring basic services Monday after suffering some of the worst fighting in recent months since the outbreak of a Russian-backed rebellion in 2014.

“I laid on the couch at home, without water, just shaking,” says Valeria Apatova, 32, mimicking how she trembled during artillery barrages as separatists battled Ukrainian national troops.

For much of the past week, parts of the city were pounded with heavy shelling. The strikes killed more than a dozen Ukrai-

nian soldiers and civilians, according to Ukraine’s government.

The violence was the latest escalation in nearly three years of on-and-off shelling that has ravaged this industrial community and forced thousands from their homes in a war with no end in sight. It has claimed nearly 10,000 lives.

The shelling was the worst in months in a conflict that has largely slipped out of the international spotlight of late. It comes as President Trump has made overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin about working more closely in fighting the Islamic State in Syria.

Trump also has hinted he might lift sanctions imposed on Russia

Loved ones and friends gather Monday for the funeral of Elena Volkova, one of at least 36 people killed by artillery fire in the past week in Avdiivka, Ukraine.

‘Dripping’ may be a dangerous trend for kids who vape

25% of high school users try new method Ryan W. Miller

@MILLERdfillmore USA TODAY

One in four high school teens who have used e-cigarettes have also tried a potentially dangerous new vaping method called “dripping” — dropping e-cigarette liquid directly onto the hot coils of the device to produce thicker, more flavorful smoke — a new study has found.

“Dripping,” which differs from

normal e-cigarette use that slowly releases the liquid from a wick onto a hot atomizer, may expose users to higher levels of nicotine and to harmful non-nicotine toxins, such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which are known carcinogens.

Sixty-four percent of the surveyed teens said they dripped for the thicker smoke, 39% for the better flavor and 28% for the stronger throat hit or sensation, according to the study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

“When people smoke cigarettes, they say they smoke it for, for lack of a better word, a tingling in the back of the throat,” says Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin, the

study’s lead author and a Yale professor of psychiatry who studies substance abuse behaviors.

Electronic cigarettes are battery-operated devices that heat liquid and turn it into vapor — instead of smoke — which a person inhales. One of the primary concerns about e-cigarette use is increased exposure to nicotine, Krishnan-Sarin says. While not all e-cigarette products contain nicotine, those that do can contain varying levels. Dripping could expose teens to higher levels of the drug, the study reports.

“The teen brain has been shown especially sensitive to nicotine,” Krishnan-Sarin says.

As e-cigs have increased in

popularity, so have alternative uses for the devices, such as smoke tricks and competitions.

Krishnan-Sarin says a variety of

vapor patterns can be produced with thicker clouds, such as “tornadoes and rings.”

Ray Story, CEO of the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, says the segment of e-cig users who drip is just a sliver of users, and he discouraged people from turning to dripping as a vaping method.

“At the end of the day, I don’t think they serve any kind of purpose. It’s for monster clouds, and these individuals are manufacturing their own hardware,” Story says. “Many of them really don’t have the background or ability to really put these things together.

It’s a lot of the ‘do-it-yourself’ type guys that are into this.”

1952 law important to case

Trump claims support on travel ban

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

should be “previously admitted aliens who are temporarily abroad now or who wish to travel and return to the United States in the future.”

The government relies on the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which gave the president the power to suspend or impose restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals if he determines their entry “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

To back up the claim, its district court brief lists eight instances dating back to President Ronald Reagan in 1986 when presidents blocked residents of certain nations from being granted admission to the U.S. BAN OPPONENTS’ ARGUMENT

The challenge to Trump’s order is being led by the attorneys general from Washington State and Minnesota, with help from arguments filed by other groups, including two former secretaries of State, three former CIA directors, 97 tech companies and 284 law professors.

In a joint filing, the attorneys general concede that the 1952 law does give broad powers to a president to enforce immigration laws in the U.S. But they say Trump’s executive order goes far beyond the legal limitations originally enshrined in the Constitution and later enacted by Congress.

They say Trump’s national security arguments are undercut because no one from the countries listed in the ban has committed terrorist acts on U.S. soil.

Even though the White House has repeatedly said the order does not constitute a “Muslim ban,” the attorneys general argue that his repeated call for such a ban on the campaign trail shows the true intent of his order.

That allegation is bolstered, they say, by Trump’s order that includes a section giving immigration preference to people who practice a “minority religion” and fear “religious-based persecution” in their countries. The seven countries listed in Trump’s ban are 97% Muslim.

Sides dig in for legal fight over travel ban Lawyers prepare to make their cases today in hearing before liberal 9th Circuit Court Alan Gomez and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

President Trump’s temporary travel ban faces a federal appeals court hearing Tuesday that will decide whether it can be reinstated or remain on hold.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco announced late Monday that it would hold a hearing at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday on Trump’s Jan. 27 order, which suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days and bans travel from seven majority-Muslim countries for at least 90 days.

Each side will have 30 minutes to make its case. Whatever the court decides, the legal battle will be far from over in a case that could end up being decided by the Supreme Court.

The appeals court is deciding only whether to uphold a temporary restraining order issued by a Seattle judge, while a separate series of court hearings will decide whether Trump’s order is legal.

Trump’s order remains on hold three days after U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle ordered the departments of State and Homeland Security to stop enforcing the ban. That prompted a weekend rush from foreigners who held valid visas to fly into the USA. The U.S. government estimates 60,000 to 100,000 visas were canceled while the ban was in effect.

The 9th Circuit Court hearing the case Tuesday is considered the nation’s most liberal, with 18 judges named by Democratic presidents and only seven by Republicans.

Lawyers for Washington State and Minnesota argued in court pa-

pers Monday that restoring Trump’s travel ban would “unleash chaos” by stranding students, splitting families, disrupting the economy and interrupting travel.

“We view the order as one that ultimately undermines the national security of the United States, rather than making us safer,” said a brief co-written by former Democratic secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and John Kerry, along with eight former intelligence and homeland security officials. “It is our professional opinion, this Order cannot be justified on national security or foreign policy grounds.”

Trump had ordered the temporary ban on all refugees and

citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, and he imposed an indefinite ban for Syrians, citing national security grounds. He said his goal was to improve background checks to make sure terrorists are not admitted inadvertently.

Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook signed a joint opposition brief that lauded the drive and creativity of immigrants. It said protecting the nation through increased background checks was important, but main-

taining America’s fundamental commitment to welcoming immigrants was also crucial.

“The experience and energy of people who come to our country to seek a better life for themselves and their children — to pursue the ‘American Dream’ — are woven throughout the social, political, and economic fabric of the Nation,” it said.

The Justice Department accused Robart of “judicial secondguessing of the president” that constitutes an “impermissible intrusion” into Trump’s authority over who can enter the country.

In a brief filed Monday evening, Justice Department attorneys said most of those affected by the ban have never even entered the United States before. It quoted a 1982 Supreme Court decision stating that a first-time visitor “requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights.”

The department brief said the limits on presidential authority sought by the states “would mean that the president would be statutorily disabled from barring the entry of nationals of a country with which the United States was at war — a result that would raised serious constitutional questions.”

Trump weighed in throughout the weekend, saying the U.S. would still screen foreigners “VERY CAREFULLY” and calling Robart a “so-called judge” who put U.S. lives at risk. “If something happens blame him and court system,” Trump tweeted.

“People pouring in. Bad!” His attack on Robart drew condemnation from Republicans and Democrats alike in Congress. “It is best not to single out judges,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday on CNN. Contributing: John Bacon and Elizabeth Weise

As an appeals court reviews his travel ban from seven Muslim countries, President Trump claimed Monday that the public is with him, despite polls indicating otherwise.

“Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election,” Trump tweeted. “Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.”

Polls are more equivocal on Trump’s move, though many showed slight opposition to the order that blocked travel to the U.S. from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, causing delays, long lines and general chaos at airports nationwide last month.

After a federal judge in Seattle struck down the order, the Trump administration has appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; the case may well be en route to the Supreme Court.

Most surveys show public opinion divided sharply along partisan lines.

A CNN/ORC poll late last week said 53% oppose the Trump travel order, while 47% support it — with 88% of Republicans backing it and 88% of the Democrats opposing it. (The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.)

A CBS News poll last week showed 51%-45% disapproval of the travel ban, with 85% of Democrats opposing and 85% of Republicans supporting. The margin of error for that survey was plus or minus 4 percentage points.

In other tweets, Trump appeared to push back on news reports that some of his aides — notably senior adviser Steve Bannon — are wielding undue influence on administration decisions and policies.

“I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it,” Trump said. “Some FAKE NEWS media, in order to marginalize, lies!”

Trump later took aim at a specific New York Times story by tweeting: “The failing @nytimes writes total fiction concerning me. They have gotten it wrong for two years, and now are making up stories & sources!”

for its support of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.

Putin denies helping the rebels, but people here wonder if Trump’s move toward better ties with Russia might be connected to the increased fighting.

“Let them come to an agreement with their words instead of with their ammunition,” says an exasperated Nadezhda Vladimirovna, whose home was struck by artillery last week.

By Monday, fighting had ebbed, and workers were busy restoring electricity and water supplies that had been cut. The Ukrainian government said 231 tons of food had been shipped into the city from neighboring regions.

The Ukrainian military said the pro-Russian forces fired nearly 7,500 shells at military and civilian targets. Each side accused the other of provoking the fight.

Avdiivka is like other settlements in the war-torn Donbass region, a vast rust belt of crumbling factories and poverty. The city, a strategic asset because of its massive coke fuel plant, sits on the front line, where opposing troops regularly exchange fire.

Residents have adjusted to the depressing sound of constant artillery fire in the background — or close to home.

About 300 people were evacuated from the city in the past week, but many more had already

Children bid farewell to their families through a bus window in Avdiivka, eastern Ukraine, as they wait to be evacuated to Sviatohirsk, a town about 90 miles away from the fighting.

“This is an endless conflict. ... If anyone can become too used to this, they’re simply not normal.”

left on their own. The city’s prewar population of 35,000 has shrunk by about half, according to various estimates.

Residents such as Vladimirovna stayed behind because they have nowhere else to go or simply because they refuse to abandon their homes.

“You leave the house not knowing whether you’ll ever return,” Vladimirovna says, watching her neighbors rebuild her roof.

Despite international efforts to end the conflict, which the United Nations says has displaced more than 1.5 million people, little progress has been made. The Minsk agreement signed in February 2015 outlines a peace settlement, but both sides regularly

violate its cease-fire terms.

“It’s impossible (for both sides) to come to an agreement,” says Ilya Yevgeniyevich, 30, who came to Avdiivka in 2015 to live with his mother after his two apartments in a neighboring village were destroyed. “This is an endless conflict.”

While residents have become embittered by the sporadic fighting that has disrupted their lives, the Ukrainian forces holding the city seem motivated and battlehardened, if exhausted.

Yevhen Marfyuk, a military anesthesiologist, says Ukraine has a “completely new army” compared with the underequipped and ill-prepared forces in 2014 who were overwhelmed by the speed and intensity of the separatist revolt.

“They’re much better prepared mentally,” says Marfyuk, visibly tired as he tends to the injured at the city’s central hospital.

For most residents, there is no way to prepare for the physical and mental toll from the outbursts of fighting.

Even as the power, heating and water return to this bleak city dominated by decrepit, Soviet-era apartment blocks, no one knows when the the fighting will resume again.

“If anyone can become too used to this,” Yevgeniyevich says as he huddles over a cup of tea at an aid station, “they’re simply not normal.”

Abercrombie experiments with comfy mfy fitting rooms Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Slumping teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch revealed a new store concept Monday with “suite” fitting rooms, transparent storefronts and checkouts it says will be easier to navigate.

The store includes two “shopswithin-a-shop,” with one area selling denim and another selling fragrances.

The company describes the fit-

ting rooms as a “haven from the mall or street” with two individual capsules within a larger larger, private suite.

“This allows each guest to share new looks with a friend or family member while also enjoying privacy” privacy, the company said.

In addition, the company announced, “each suite has thoughtful amenities that heighten the customer’s mood, including separate controls for light and music, as well as a phone charging dock.”

The mall store chain said it would open the first of seven bou-

Abercrombie & Fitch wants to create “suite” fitting rooms with mood lighting and charging docks.

tique concept stores this year at the Polaris Fashion Mall in Columbus, Ohio.

The concept store comes amid financial and leadership turmoil at Abercrombie. Sales at Abercrombie stores open at least a year fell 14% in the third quarter.

It had declined 7% in the second quarter and 8% in the first quarter.

The company has not yet reported sales for the fourth quarter which includes the crucial ter, holiday shopping season.

Last week, week Abercrombie named president and chief mer-

chandising officer Fran Horowitz as CEO CEO, filling that leadership post for the first time since December 2014.

Up to then, the company’s chairman had served as its top executive.

Abercrombie has stumbled in competition with fast-fashion retailers such as H&M and Forever 21 and struggled to keep pace with online threats.

The new store concept will feature easy access to pick up online orders and a quick checkout experience with “cash wraps” throughout the store.

Dear Annie: I’m writing to you regarding one of my best friends, ‘’Melanie.’’ Melanie and I are both in our late 20s. We met in college and bonded over our senses of humor and our preference for staying in and watching a movie over going out to frat parties. She’s been there for me during some hard times. She’s one person I can rely on to always answer my calls and be there for me, and I appreciate her.

But she seems unable or unwilling to get out of the rut she’s been in for the past few years, and it’s become increasingly frustrating to listen to her complaining about the same things every day. She took a retail job out of college, just to make ends meet until she could find something in her field.

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

Five years later and she’s still there, and in the meantime, I’ve had to hear about it pretty much every day.

I’ve tried to help her look for jobs and sent her lots of links to job postings, but I’m pretty sure she hasn’t actually applied to any of them. She always has a list of reasons — e.g., ‘’I’m not really qualified for that,’’ ‘’I don’t have time to apply for jobs,’’ ‘’I need to update my resume.’’ She tends to

Bravo takes a step away from reality O Bravo takes a welcome departure with the romanticcomedy mystery “Imposters” (8 p.m., TV-14). The network known for endless helpings of ‘’Real Housewives’’ offers a scripted series worth following.

Inbar Lavi (‘‘Gang Related’’) plays Maddie, the wide-eyed, beautiful con-woman at the heart of the series. As ‘’Imposters’’ begins, she’s just married and fleeced Ezra (Rob Heaps), a romantic softy and heir to a garment industry company.

He’s shattered that the woman he adored had departed after cleaning out their bank accounts and even emptying a home-equity loan she had secretly opened.

He gets little support from his family, particularly since the family business suffered collateral damage at her hands.

After wallowing in grief, he meets Richard (Parker Young), another victim and former husband of the same mystery woman. As ‘’Imposters’’ moves forward, they join forces with even more bamboozled ‘’husbands’’ to get back their money and regain their dignity and mojo. ‘’Imposters’’ also follows Maddie and her team of grifters, who answer to the unseen boss called ‘’The Doctor,’’ a Charlie to their fallen angels.

Our current era of online ‘’friends’’ and social media identities, internet role-playing and video-game avatars has inspired a spate of series about put-ons and con artists, from the goofy ‘’Impastor,’’ to the drama ‘’Good Behavior.’’ Nobody, it seems, is entirely on the level, because we’re all too busy gaslighting and catfishing everybody else.

O “American Experience” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings) presents ‘’Oklahoma City,’’ recalling the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. It juxtaposes accounts of rescue from the rubble with a history of the militia and white supremacist movements that would influence veteran Timothy McVeigh and convince him to wage war on his own government.

O A crooner makes the most of his reputation for singing make-out music by hosting “Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special,” streaming on Netflix beginning today.

O Inexperienced knuckleheads try to become automobile advertising executives in the hopes of putting Motor City back on the map in the 10-episode new comedy “The Detroiters” (8:30 p.m., Comedy Central).

Tonight’s other highlights O Toby complicates Kate’s weight-loss campaign on “This Is Us” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O Whistleblowers cross a line on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O G’win’s options dwindle on “Outsiders” (7 p.m., WGN).

play the victim in a lot of areas of her life.

And that’s part of why I’m scared to confront her. I want to tell her that she’s been talking about these same problems for years and it’s time to change, but I know she’d be offended.

Lately, I find myself screening her phone calls because when I get home from a long day of work, I just don’t want to hear the negativity. I feel bad for avoiding her. I want to be a good friend. What should I do? — Emotionally Exhausted Dear Emotionally: It’s frustrating to watch a friend languishing in a rut that she could easily climb out of. But if you tried to yank her out of it, she’d only pull you down into the wallowing hole with her, and that would be a toxic

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 7: This year you have a new emotional quality to your ideas and thoughts, yet you remain extremely rational. Still, use caution financially; otherwise, you could fall prey to get-rich-quick schemes. If you are single, getting involved romantically will be easy, as you have so many potential suitors. If you are attached, you argue intensely with your sweetie, but you make up quickly. Consider taking up a new pastime or hobby together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Your efforts to get past a problem might be rewarding yet somewhat chaotic. Tonight: Follow your sixth sense.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You are likely to express your thoughts without hesitation. Tonight: Out late.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Use care with financial commitments. Explore different ideas, but don’t come to a conclusion just yet. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You feel as though you can take on more than your share.

Explore a new opportunity with someone who has had a similar experience. Tonight: As you like it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You’ll express your caring in a way that helps others understand where you are coming from.

place to be. So keep a healthy distance between you and that aspect of her, not just for your sake but also for hers; by listening to her venting about the same problems every day, you’re actually enabling her not to change.

So draw the line.

Tell her your New Year’s resolution is to not dwell on negatives.

Whenever she starts up the ‘’woe is me’’ routine, tell her that you’re happy to discuss solutions but if she just wants to talk about the same problems again, you’re not able to listen.

Eventually — let’s hope — she’ll get out of that rut all on her own. That will give her the selfconfidence to keep the momentum going.

— Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Tonight: Brainstorm away.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You know what it will take to succeed, and you’ll proceed down the right path. Tonight: Favorite people, favorite place.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You can speak up about something only when you are sure of yourself. Tonight: Take the lead.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Your involvement with someone who is quite different from you remains high. Tonight: Detach from a problematic situation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Allow those around you who work and/or live with you to express more fully where they are coming from. Tonight: Do whatever is needed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Others respond to you, but with more vitality than you had anticipated. Tonight: Accept another person’s plans.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You are likely to discover the importance of being responsive to questions, whether they are posed in a challenging way or simply out of curiosity. Tonight: Reflect on a choice that could be costly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Your mind seems to be working overtime right now.

Tonight: Go along with someone’s imaginative idea.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Festivities are officially underway for this year’s Read Across Lawrence program at the Lawrence Public Library, where staffers and patrons celebrated the launch with kickoff parties last weekend.

Around 200 copies of Julia Alvarez’s “In the Time of the Butterflies,” the library’s pick for adult readers, were distributed (free of charge) within a half hour that day, said Kristin Soper, events coordinator at the library.

“The response was really great,” she said. “And we had a line of about 60 people even before we opened the doors.”

Copies of this year’s selections for teens, Alvarez’s “Return to Sender,” also ran out quickly. As of press time Monday, copies of the library’s kids’ pick, “Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer,” by Kelly Jones, were also similarly picked over, if not completely depleted.

If you missed the big

giveaway, fear not: Anyone with a library card can download a free digital copy of “In the Time of the Butterflies” via Freading or Hoopla.

Those with a State of Kansas library card can also snag a copy at Total BooX. Check out lawrence.lib.ks.us for details.

This year’s Read Across Lawrence festivities align with the National Endowment for the Arts’ 2017 Big Read, for which the library and its partners were among 77 groups nationwide to receive a grant.

The funds, Soper said, have allowed the library to bring “In the Time of the Butterflies” writer Julia Alvarez to Lawrence for an author’s talk at 7 p.m.

March 5 at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive.

The event will cap off a month of programming for both Read Across Lawrence and the NEA Big Read. The library’s partners in these efforts include the University of Kansas Libraries and the KU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

Although “Butterflies” was selected back in December 2015, Soper recognizes the timeliness of its themes for readers in 2017.

First published in 1994, the celebrated novel tells the story of the real-life Mirabal sisters, who became political martyrs in the 1960s after speaking out against dictator Rafaelo Trujillo in their native Dominican Republic.

Related events Here are a few of this year’s Big Read/Read Across Lawrence highlights, as suggested by Soper. Check out a full rundown of events at lawrence.lib.ks.us. l Nerd Nite Celebrates the NEA Big Read/Read Across Lawrence 8 p.m. Wednesday, Maceli’s Banquet Hall, 1031 New Hampshire St. This special edition of the library’s ever-popular Nerd Nite will explore themes and topics from “Butterflies,” including the history of Hispaniola as well as the often-un-

told stories of women in political uprisings.

Doors open at 7 p.m., while the event itself kicks off at 8 p.m. Cover is $1. l Bring Your Own Book Club at the Spencer Museum of Art 6:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 16, KU’s Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St. Literature meets art at the Spencer Museum, where guests will be led on a tour of pieces, curated

by Spencer staffers, that complement the themes of Alvarez’s novel. Check out the art first, then discuss the book over complimentary refreshments. l Film Screening: “Trópico de Sangre” 7 p.m. Feb. 23, location to be determined Dominican filmmaker Juan Delancer’s 2010 dramatic retelling of the Mirabal sisters will be screened as part of this year’s program. It’s unrated, but given the gruesome subject matter, Soper wouldn’t recommend this film for young audiences.

Lawrence police are searching for a man accused of robbing a fastfood restaurant on Sunday.

Just before 7:45 a.m., a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt entered Taco Bell, 1220 W. Sixth St., and demanded money, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said.

The suspect pointed “something” at a restaurant employee as he demanded the cash, Rhoads said.

In all, the suspect left the restaurant with more than $4,200, according to a Lawrence Police Department offense report. He left the scene on foot, heading in an unknown direction, Rhoads said.

The sentence handed down Monday by U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten still leaves intact the federal felony convictions against Shane Cox and Jeremy Kettler.

Jurors in November found Cox guilty of making and marketing unregistered firearms, and found Ketter guilty of having an unregistered gun silencer.

Both men thanked the judge in courtroom statements for not sending them to prison.

The Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile includes the following tests: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios.

I understand that no additional individualized test can be included in the Health Fair profile blood tests. Results are reviewed by a pathologist . The results and a cover letter are mailed to the participant as soon as reasonably possible but in most cases will take about three weeks after the Fair to be mailed from the hospital. I understand that if my identifying information as noted above, including name, address, gender, and birth date, are not fully complete nor legible, the blood profile results may not be able to be correctly processed nor mailed to me. I also understand that results will not be released or mailed to anyone other than myself (including personal physicians).

I give my consent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to draw blood from me for the Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile. I agree that LMH and its staff will not be held responsible for any injuries including bruising, incurred during the blood drawing process. I understand the responsibility for initializing any follow-up examinations for any abnormalities identified by these test, lies with me as the person responsible for my own health and not with Lawrence Memorial Hospital. I also understand that on occasion, my blood may hemolyze (red blood cells can be destroyed) during the blood drawing or analysis processes, and therefore can alter results, and if so, I may be contacted to come back into LMH Laboratory to have my blood redrawn.

I have read, understand and agree to the information and restrictions noted above.

A Helping Hand Home Care

Signups through HealthCare.gov down Washington (ap) — Facing higher premiums, less choice and a lastminute advertising pullback, fewer people signed up for coverage this year through HealthCare.gov, according to data from a preliminary government report Friday.

About 9.2 million people signed up through HealthCare.gov, the insurance marketplace serving most states, said the Health and Human Services department.

That’s about 500,000 fewer customers than had enrolled last year in those same 39 states, or slippage of around 5 percent.

The report doesn’t include figures from 11 states that run their own health insurance markets

— including California and New York — so the final national number will be higher. But the preliminary report is being closely watched, because President Donald Trump and the GOP-led Congress have vowed to repeal the Obama-era health law and replace it with a plan yet to emerge.

Insurance markets created by former President Barack Obama’s law provide subsidized private coverage for people who don’t have access to health care through their jobs. Along with a Medicaid expansion aimed at low-income adults, the Affordable Care Act has helped millions get coverage, reducing the nation’s uninsured rate to

a historic low of about 9 percent.

But even before Trump’s election victory, the ACA’s markets were facing double-digit premium increases and a sharp drop in insurer participation. Although most customers receive taxpayer subsidies for their premiums, the increases averaged more than 20 percent nationally and much higher in several states.

The night he was inaugurated, Trump signed an executive order directing his administration to provide relief from “Obamacare.” That was interpreted as a signal that officials would waive the law’s tax penalties meant to nudge uninsured peo-

• 1-24 Hour In-Home Care Including overnights, weekends and Holidays

ple to sign up. Then last week, the administration pulled back about $5 million in ads that were part of a closing bid to woo the uninsured. Former Obama administration officials cried foul.

Trump administration spokesman Matt Lloyd said Friday that “Obamacare has failed” and the new president looks forward to providing relief through “patient-centered solutions that will work for the American people.”

But supporters of the health care law, trying to beat back or blunt efforts to repeal it, blamed the Trump administration for the lackluster number.

A final, national enrollment report isn’t due until next month.

SUNFLOWER POWER Mason’s hustle helps Kansas rebuff ‘Cats

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Manhattan — Almost every game has a signature play that is remembered as the reason a team won or lost. And for the Kansas men’s basketball team, which secured a season sweep over instate rival Kansas State with a 74-71 victory Monday night at Bramlage Coliseum, that play began with senior guard Frank Mason III on his back.

With Kansas clinging to a 69-65 lead after a pair of free throws from KState’s D.J.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Sixth touted Louisiana prospect commits to KU

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The Kansas football program’s Louisiana recruiting revolution didn’t flame out over the weekend.

Less than 48 hours removed from a wild Saturday, when head coach David Beaty and his staff received verbal commitments from five highly

rated prep juniors who hail from running backs coach Tony Hull’s home state, another prospect from “The Boot” jumped on board.

Nelson Jenkins, a defensive lineman from Plaquemine, La., listed at 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, announced Monday morning on Twitter his intentions to play at KU. A three-star prospect

according to Rivals, Jenkins also has offers from Georgia Tech, SMU and other programs.

Prior to Saturday’s “junior day” at the Kansas football facilities, when the staff welcomed in a long list of Class of 2018 recruits to campus, Beaty and company didn’t have any commitments for next year’s signing day. That all changed very quickly, over

a matter of hours, and with Jenkins’ pledge, Kansas now has six touted Louisiana athletes in its sevenplayer class.

However, Jenkins told Jon Kirby of Jayhawk Slant, unlike the other big names from The Pelican State, the defensive lineman didn’t even make an unofficial visit to Lawrence.

“I have seen what’s going on at KU and all of the

players from Louisiana committing there,” Jenkins told Jayhawk Slant, while crediting Hull for his recruitment. “I want to be part of that and I can’t wait to get up there.”

Impressively, each of the recruits pilfered from SEC territory are threeor four-star prospects.

While verbal commitments are non-binding, four-star athletes Devon-

ta Jason (New Orleans receiver), Corione Harris (New Orleans cornerback) and Ja’Marr Chase (Metairie receiver), as well as three-star players Anthony Williams (Boutte running back), Aaron Brule (Metairie safety) and Jenkins all — at least at this point — say they plan to sign with Kansas, a rebuilding Big 12 program.

basket of the game by dribbling it out of bounds and turning it back over.

But Mason’s willingness to sacrifice his body at such a key point in the game was big for the Jayhawks, not because of anything that showed up on the scoreboard, but instead because of what it said about this team’s willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

“Those plays define seasons,” Self said. “I think there’s always something that happens in a season that can be a defining moment. I don’t know if that’s it at all. I’m not saying that. But it’s always an extra possession, hustle play.”

Although Self was unwilling to predict the future, Mason’s teammates were more than happy to describe exactly what they thought about Mason’s monster effort.

“So tough,” said freshman Josh Jackson, who finished with 18 points.

“I’ve never met a guy as small as him as tough as him. Plays like that really tend to rub off on all of us. We see him make a play like that it really makes everybody step up the intensity.”

Added junior guard Devonté Graham: “That’s what wins games. That was a huge play. When he does it, it kind of pumps energy through the team, you know, your best player diving for loose balls and stuff like that. It makes you want to do it....

He’s a competitor and he wants to win bad. Plays like that show it.”

Of course, so, too, did Mason’s game-high 21 points, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes.

Five of those points came at the free throw line in the game’s final minutes, where Mason helped secure the victory for Kan-

sas (21-3 overall, 9-2 Big 12) in a more tangible way.

When the Jayhawks finally were able to exhale, it was Mason who walked off the floor with his arms flexed and two fists in the air. The only things that carried more power than that image were the high fives Mason was handing out to teammates in the huddle.

“We haven’t lost two in a row since 2013,” said Mason, who even posed for a postgame photo with a few K-State fans after the victory. “Not that that matters, but we

just wanted to come here and play aggressive and play with a lot of pride and give ourselves the best chance to win.”

Early on, it did not look as if the Jayhawks would do that. Buoyed by its rocking home crowd, Kansas State (16-8, 5-6) raced out to a 20-8 lead in the first few minutes and forced KU into several mistakes.

Self called timeout following the Wildcats’ third transition layup in a four-possession stretch and the Jayhawks responded with a 14-4 run to trim the KSU lead to

24-22 with 7:42 to play in the first half.

That run, which included a 7-0 spurt, featured four points in the paint from sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr., four points from Jackson — two off of a steal and two-handed slam — and 3-pointers from Mason and Svi Mykhailiuk.

KU’s ability to find the bottom of the net on offense slowed K-State’s offensive attack and allowed the KU defense to get set and grind out stops.

“We were ahead 14 at half the other day, too,”

said Self, referencing his team’s fall-from-in-front loss to Iowa State. “Being down 12 is no way you want to start in an atmosphere like this.... I think our guys relaxed and played after that.”

After opening the half shooting 71.4 percent from the floor, the Wildcats finished the half shooting just 13-of-34 from the floor for a mark of 38.2 percent. Kansas, meanwhile, hit 16 of 33 first-half field goals (including four of 10 from 3-point range) for 48.5 percent.

A good chunk of those came from Jackson, who led the Jayhawks with 11 points in the first half.

Jackson’s ability to attack the paint helped Kansas close the half on a 29-15 run to take a 37-35 lead into the locker room.

That run was 29-11 and

“I don’t think it’s harder, but the one thing about shooting the ball from the perimeter, you don’t have time to think about it,” Self said.

“Shooting free throws, you have 10 seconds to think about it. I thought tonight it was a little mental. But the thing about it, the one he made late was soft. I think he can make them. I think he will make them. We’re not going to take him out to avoid him get-

Jackson’s too good a scorer, too skilled a passer, for it not to be in his hands, and it can’t be in his hands if he’s at the scorer’s table waiting to check back in to play defense.

Foul trouble is the other area on which Jackson needs to improve.

He’s done a better job at

checking his temper, his early season technicals fading in the rear-view mirror.

Staying out of foul trouble is not as easy a challenge for a player who defends so aggressively.

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) AND KANSAS STATE FORWARD DEAN WADE compete for the basketball.

KU led 37-31 with just over a minute remaining in the first half, but KState got a big 3-pointer from Kamau Stokes and a free throw from Wesley Iwundu to trim KU’s lead to two.

KU opened the second half with a 10-3 run to build a 47-38 lead and trailed just once — 60-59 with 4:42 remaining — the rest of the way.

With KU clinging to a lead that felt equal parts substantial and vulnerable, the Wildcats kept charging and appeared to get stronger and give even more effort as the game wore down.

Mason put the Jayhawks back in front for good with a pair of free throws with 4:21 to play and added a jumper at 3:14 to put Kansas up three. K-State sophomore Dean Wade (20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) tied the game 23 seconds later, but Mykhailiuk, the villain of KU’s win in Lawrence in the eyes of the K-State crowd, buried a 3-pointer from the corner, right in front of the KSU student section, to give Kansas a 66-63 lead.

That set the stage for Mason’s hustle play and for the Jayhawks to ride their diving superstar to another Big 12 road win.

Beyond the obvious reasons of the in-state rivalry and Big Monday audience, Self said Monday’s win was big because of the tone it set for the season’s final seven games.

“I always think whenever you’re coming off a loss, there’s a little more pressure to go get one,” Self said. “The key to having great seasons is to extend the positive momentum as long as possible, and, the negative momentum, you need to cut it off as short as possible. It’s always good to get a win after a loss.”

him out for as long as I could as long as we kept the lead,” Self said.

Excessive fouling will send Jackson to the bench and in fact limited him to 25 minutes in this one. Trouble shooting foul shots won’t. He has a soft touch, so there is a path to becoming a decent free-throw shooter before long. The smart money says he’ll figure it out quickly and that deficiency also will be in his rear-view mirror.

NOTEBOOK

Bragg returns to the rotation “I don’t know that there’s been a mismatch problem,” Self said. “I just think he’s a good player. He’s a Kansas kid playing against KU just like Perry Ellis was a Kansas kid playing against K-State ... He is a good player, and he shot the heck out of it.”

Wade, a St. John native, finished 8-of-12 from the floor, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range, for 20 points in 34 minutes.

Said Wade of facing the Jayhawks, “I think it means the same to the whole team. It was a big game, and we were all ready for it. We had a lot of energy and emotions going into it. I think growing up as a kid and watching it, it means a lot to me.”

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Manhattan — The three-game suspension served by Kansas sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. officially ended Monday night at Bramlage Coliseum, 4:58 into KU’s 7471 victory over Kansas State.

That was when Bragg first checked into Monday’s game after missing the last three games because of a suspension that stemmed from charges on possession of drug paraphernalia.

That off-the-court issue — Bragg’s second of the season — ended with the 21-year-old Cleveland native being granted a diversion, and the Jayhawks are hopeful that it’s what Bragg delivered Monday night, and not up to that point, that they will get the rest of the way.

In 13 minutes, the KU forward delivered six points, three rebounds and two assists while making 3-of-4 shots from the field and using his 6-foot-10 frame to disrupt the Wildcats inside.

“I thought Carlton did fine,” said Self after the game, noting later that he felt the three-game suspension was enough.

“I thought he gave us some great minutes the first half.”

Bragg’s teammates agreed and said they were thrilled to have the former McDonald’s AllAmerican back in the rotation.

“Super big,” KU freshman Josh Jackson said.

“Guys don’t really have to play as many minutes now, and I thought he played really good on defense, got a couple of big rebounds and did a little scoring out there, too. It’s always good to have an extra guy come in and give you production.”

Added junior Devonté Graham: “Great to have him back. He gave us good energy, got some big buckets and played great on defense.”

KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. (15) roars after a dunk during the first half Monday at Bramlage Coliseum.

As for where Graham expected Bragg to take things from here, the KU guard sounded optimistic that more good days were ahead.

“All that pressure that was on him for this game, he kind of settled in and he’ll be good and it’s just nothing but up from here,” Graham said.

delivered a monster game against the Jayhawks.

This, after struggling in three games against KU as a true freshman a season ago.

Asked for a reaction on why Wade presented Kansas pride such a mismatch for the For the second time Jayhawks, Self preferred this season, K-State to give Wade a tip of the sophomore Dean Wade cap.

Bragg injured his left foot or ankle midway through the second half but, after a trip to the locker room, returned to the game. Self had no update on his status after the game.

DR. KEVIN LENAHAN OPTOMETRIST

Hostile environment As expected, the Kansas State student section was seated and screaming more than 90 minutes before tip-off of Monday’s game.

Known for their wild ways, loud jeers and clever signage, the KSU students had extra motivation on Monday night given the fact that this season’s first meeting between the Sunflower State rivals ended with a traveling violation by KU’s Svi Mykhailiuk that was not called. To that end, the KSU faithful brought out their traveling signals and dozens of signs referencing Mykhailiuk and the infraction.

Some of the best included: A list of Svi’s likely pregame play list, which included seven songs that referenced walking or traveling in the title; a list of Svi’s hobbies, which included walking the dog, long walks on the beach and traveling; a drawing of a referee uniform with the caption “Next jersey to be hung in Allen Fieldhouse”; and “Svi has more rushing yards than KU football #WalkChalk.”

The K-State fans also chanted “guil-ty, guil-ty”

at Bragg and other Jayhawks throughout the game.

“I’ll be honest, the crowd helped us win the game,” Self said. “There’s no doubt about that.

That’s all we talked about was use their energy to give you energy.”

Jayhawks still 3rd Kansas held its spot at No. 3 in this week’s Associated Press poll despite falling to unranked Iowa State at home last Saturday.

The Jayhawks, 20-3 overall and 8-2 in the Big 12, likely maintained their place in the top three on the strength of their home victory over No. 2 Baylor last Wednesday. The Bears, who also lost to Kansas State over the weekend, fell just four spots to No. 6 and sit one game back from Kansas in the Big 12 race.

Unbeaten Gonzaga (24-0) remained No. 1 for the second week in a row and Villanova (22-2) jumped back into the No. 2 spot. The Zags received 59 first-place votes and ’Nova picked up the other six. Louisville (19-4) and Oregon (21-3) round out this week’s top-five, while 13th-ranked West Virginia (18-5) joined KU and Baylor as the only Big 12 teams in this week’s Top 25.

Iowa State (3) Oklahoma State (1) and Kansas State (1) each received votes in this week’s poll.

This and that...

KU now leads the all-time series with KState, 193-93, including a 77-47 mark in Manhattan and 25-4 record in Bramlage Coliseum... Self improved to 29-5 all-time against the Wildcats while K-State coach Bruce Weber dropped to 2-11 all-time against the Jayhawks... KU is now 6-1 in true road games this season and 10-2 away from Allen Fieldhouse... KU has now won 21 games or more for the 28th consecutive season.

BRIEFLY Source: Royals, Hammel agree to 2-year deal Kansas City, Mo. (Ap) — The Royals and right-hander Jason Hammel have agreed to a $16 million, twoyear contract, a person with direct knowledge negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal is pending a physical.

The 34-year-old Hammel went 15-10 with a 3.83 ERA for the World Series champion Chicago Cubs last season and likely will slot into the Kansas City rotation behind Danny Duffy and Ian Kennedy.

Kansas City was looking for another starter late in the offseason after right-hander Yordano Ventura was killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Hammel was considered the best arm still available on the free-agent market.

The Royals also have Jason Vargas penciled into the starting rotation, leaving one job up for grabs when they converge next week in Surprise, Arizona.
