Full house at KU race forum

Kobach registers 2 suspense voters ——

Secretary of state asks federal judge to dismiss lawsuit

TRINITY CARPENTER, A KU SENIOR FROM OTTAWA, SPEAKS DURING A TOWN HALL FORUM ON RACE Wednesday at Kansas University’s Woodruff Auditorium that was moderated by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Carpenter shared her concerns about how to speak up about race issues on campus without worrying about consequences. KU announced the forum on Monday, after University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe resigned under pressure from students who said the school failed to properly respond to racial problems there.

he auditorium overflowed, emotions ran high and voices were loud Wednesday during Kansas University’s town hall forum on race, respect and free speech.

About 1,000 people attended the event in the Kansas Union, filling the seats and lining the walls of Woodruff Auditorium, and also filling an overflow room across the hall.

In the crowd were students, faculty and staff of all colors, plus some community members and elected officials.

At the front moderating the forum — and taking a fair amount of heat directly — was KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

Gray-Little opened the forum by saying that KU has offices, staff members and initiatives dedicated to increasing diversity but needs to do more.

KU, Pitt State field questions on Clinton visit costs Heard on the Hill

ig-time speakers often come with big-time price tags, which had me and no doubt a lot of other people wondering how much Kansas University and Pittsburg State University might be shelling out to get former U.S. President Bill Clinton on their respective campuses later this month.

Clinton is not charging a fee for his appearance at KU, though KU’s Dole Institute of Politics will pay his travel

costs to get here, according to Dole Institute spokeswoman Makayla Hipke. She said the Dole Institute’s endowment — which is privately funded — is covering part of Clinton’s chartered plane to get here at a cost of about $30,000. The Dole Institute does not cover any Secret Service costs, she said.

Hipke said this is typical for most Dole Institute guests.

“We rarely, extremely rarely, pay our guests any

type of an honorarium or speaker fee,” Hipke said. She added that the Dole Institute always covers guests’ travel costs except in special situations, such as governmental employees with stipulations on who can pay those costs.

Clinton is the winner of 2015’s Dole Leadership Prize, given annually by the Dole Institute, and will speak at 1 p.m.

Nov. 23 at the Lied Center.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office began registering two Douglas County men to vote just days after they sued Kobach to stop him from purging them and thousands of others from the state’s controversial suspended voters list.

Kobach announced Tuesday in a motion he filed with the federal court asking a judge to Kobach dismiss the lawsuit that his office had completed Alder Cromwell’s registration that day, and Cody Keener had been registered Oct. 6, just six days after their lawsuit was filed.

Sustainability board will work to ban plastic bags

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence’s Sustainability Advisory Board decided Wednesday to work with environmental groups on a proposal to restrict single-use plastic bags in the city.

The 10-member board unanimously voted to have one of its members, Ian Spomer, meet with members of the Sustainability Action Network, the Sierra Club Wakarusa Group and the Lawrence Environmental Teams United for Sustainability (LETUS) who asked Wednesday that the board take up the issue.

She said KU has an obligation as a university to encourage conversation.

Since it was founded 150 years ago, KU has always been open to minorities and to women, Gray-Little said, although it hasn’t always been “faithful” to those values in practice.

“I know and you know that there are still instances of racism here,” she said.

“It’s disappointing that we are still talking about these topics, but we do still need to talk about them.”

And for more than two hours, people did.

‘More than one kind’ of racism Part of the conversation revolved around which issues KU needed to address.

One of the first to take the mic was a black female student who criticized Gray-Little for using “diversity rhetoric.”

“Why can we not just call it anti-black racism?” she said.

Gray-Little disagreed, saying, “There is more than one kind that is going on.”

Speakers that followed included a Native American student, a gay Asian instructor and a Latina communications student who said they, too, had been hurt by racial and sexual jokes and slurs.

The Native American student — in tears — said he’d had people ask him why he got so upset by things like cultural appropriation on Halloween.

Kobach CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In his motion, Kobach said he used records from vital statistics to identify Keener and Cromwell, an Oregon State University student, as U.S. citizens.

The men are actively registered and “suffer no current injury...” Kobach wrote in the motion.

“This case must be dismissed for lack of standing.”

Kobach’s spokesman did not return a call requesting an interview.

But one of the men’s attorneys, Will Lawrence, said Kobach appeared to be “playing games” with voters’ rights.

“Obviously we are happy that our two clients are registered to vote but it’s more than these two individuals who are being affected,” Lawrence said.

“If Kobach can just go in and get this done, why not do this for everyone?”

Lawrence said there will still be a hearing in federal court.

Cromwell, whose father is former Lawrence City Commissioner Aron Cromwell, and Keener could not be reached for comment.

The database of suspended voters had more than 36,000 names of those who had tried to register to vote but didn’t have all the necessary paperwork.

In early October, Kobach’s office had initiated

“Whenever you ask me that, you are diminishing my ancestors that were killed on the Trail of Tears,” he said. “You’re telling me to ‘get over’ the genocide of my people, and I am not OK with that.”

One trend that emerged from students of color was stories of instructors ostracizing them — intentionally or not — because of their race.

One light-skinned black female student said an instructor asked her whether she was half white, and when she said she was not, the instructor suggested that she tell people she was.

Another black female student and track athlete said that she’d been in classes where she was the only black student and had instructors single her out and ask her her opinion on things as though she represented all black people.

“Faculty, please stop doing this,” she said.

“Don’t stereotype student-athletes.”

Temporary takeover The majority of speakers, however, were black — including most in a group of about 12 holding signs that took the stage midway through the forum, interrupting Gray-Little and other students to speak and read a list of demands.

The group said they were called “Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk,” the same as a hashtag that emerged last year within the KU community.

Student Kynnedi Grant, president of KU’s Black Student Union, said from the stage that she and some friends were verbally and physically assaulted at an off-campus a new rule that required suspended voters to provide proof of citizenship within 90 days or their names would be purged from the list. Before the new rule, voters had until the next election to provide that information.

Lawrence said this was not the first time that Kobach’s office had registered a suspended voter under pressure. Last year, for example, the daughter of Kobach’s primary opponent, Scott Morgan of Lawrence, was notified that she had failed to produce necessary documents to prove her citizenship even though she had provided a passport.

She was registered within minutes after the Wichita Eagle asked Kobach about it, the newspaper reported.

Kobach seems to take action when there is an imminent news story, Lawrence said.

“We will see what the judge does with it,” Lawrence said. “I don’t think this is something the courts are going to look at and be happy about.

It’s pretty clear what the intent seems to be here.

The intent is to evade judicial review of the law, and that is inappropriate.”

Lawrence is part of a team of attorneys that includes Paul Davis, a Lawrence attorney and former gubernatorial candidate.

Grant shared the story on social media this week. She said no police report was filed.

Another black female student said KU’s forum was not an attempt to hear student voices but rather an attempt to “silence” them.

She read a list of the group’s 15 demands, including hiring a new Office of Multicultural Affairs director by the end of the year (the position has been vacant since May), creating a separate multicultural student senate, giving more support to veterans and banning concealed carry of guns on KU’s campus (which Kansas law says must be allowed beginning in 2017).

After the group left the stage, she declined to give her name to a reporter or answer follow-up questions. However, members of the group presented their concerns later in the evening to the Student Senate Rights Committee, which passed a resolution to address them, according to tweets from a

Bags CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Spomer and the groups will talk about details of a proposal, which would include either banning single-use bags or imposing a fine on shoppers who use them, or a phased approach that would comprise a combination of both methods.

A proposal would be brought back to the advisory board, which could vote to advance it to the City Commission.

“We’re not going down this path right now,” Spomer said. “We’re just discussing it.”

Dale Nimz, chairman of the board, said a ban on single-use plastic bags was named as a priority of the board in goal-setting sessions this spring. It was not listed as the board’s top three priorities, which are energy conservation, water conservation and land-use planning.

“This is not necessarily our highest priority, but it is a priority,” Nimz said.

“And if it’s a priority for other people, it becomes more important than us.”

Lori Hutfles, one of the residents who brought the idea to the board, said the environmental groups saw it as an “immediate win.”

“We wanted to capture the attention of the people who live in this town and — Enterprise reporter Karen Dillon can make them realize they be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or can do something to make at 832-7162. a difference,” Hutfles said.

University Daily Kansan reporter at that meeting.

KU’s forum, announced Monday, was held in response to a race-fueled crisis on the University of Missouri campus. On Monday, MU System President Tim Wolfe and MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned under pressure from students who said the school failed to properly respond to racial problems there.

Tuesday the university announced that GrayLittle would moderate the discussion. Wednesday morning, the university announced that the forum was moving from the Union’s Big 12 Room to Woodruff, the largest room in the Union after the ballroom.

Suggestions A number of the speakers made suggestions.

They included requiring cultural training for all staff, requiring all students to take courses such as AfricanAmerican studies or Latin American studies, and giving more money to minority organizations such as the Black Student Union so that they would have as much “This is a step. This is something tangible.”

Eileen Horn, the city and county sustainability coordinator, suggested the board and environmental groups work out details such as what types of retailers would be banned from providing plastic bags, how a ban would be enforced, what kinds of bags would be restricted and how much time retailers would have before a ban went into effect.

Horn also suggested looking to cities that have already adopted successful ordinances and making a plan for citizen outreach, which would include answers to potentially frequent questions such as what residents could use to pick up their pet waste.

“As this has happened historically, cities have gotten smarter and know how to mitigate the negativity around it and make sure small businesses don’t struggle with it,” Horn said. “I think a ton of research can help mitigate concerns.”

Horn said the advisory board would need to decide in the future whether it wanted to champion the proposal or support the environmental groups in presenting it.

Board member Sharon Ashworth said she would want to know more before supporting a proposal. She asked Wednesday how big a percentage of litter in the city was plastic bags. Another board member asked how much it cost the city to pick up littered bags.

money as “privileged” organizations. One student even said Gray-Little should give those groups money from her salary.

Another student suggested increasing diversity of faculty and staff, “and not just in positions that pertain to their culture or race.” He used African-American studies as an example — everyone expects AfricanAmerican instructors there, but there should be more in other disciplines.

The student also suggested KU do more to “punish” students for acts that offend others and asked white people in the room to support peers of color by recognizing their “white privilege” and not tolerating racist comments or jokes by others.

Speakers also criticized KU’s minority retention rates, which Gray-Little called a “serious issue” that KU was working on.

“The university has programs, we have offices, we have people doing stuff,” she said. “It’s not enough.”

One student told GrayLittle she sounded like Roger Goodell or Donald Trump.

Another student told her, “All I have to say is do your job or get replaced.”

Gray-Little closed the conversation saying it was valuable to hear about students’ experiences and that she knew they were real.

She did not make onthe-spot promises.

“I have to hear, I have to evaluate, I have to respond,” she said.

Kathy Richardson, the city’s solid waste division manager, said those numbers would be hard to come up with.

“To make the argument to the public about the plastic bag bans, it’s really good to quantify the need and problem,” Ashworth said.

Board members briefly discussed whether they’d suggest a ban or fee.

Michael Almon with Sustainability Action Network said a fee of 5 to 10 cents would be better received than an outright ban.

Spomer said he thought a small fee wouldn’t lead to much change.

“Lawrence is a pretty affluent town,” Spomer said. “Charging someone 5 cents to use a bag is not going to get the vast majority of people to stop doing it.”

It’s unsure when the idea will be discussed further. The board did not outline a timeline for when the proposal would be brought back before the advisory board.

Thad Holcombe, a member of the Sierra Wakarusa Group who helped introduce the idea to the board, said he was pleased with Wednesday’s discussion.

“I felt they took us seriously,” he said. “We’ll try to kind of summarize things so it is a clean proposal that people can discuss more,” he said.

VETERAN ALBERT BALLARD, OF LAWRENCE, GIVES A SALUTE during Veterans Day ceremonies Wednesday at The American Legion Dorsey-Liberty Post 14, 3408 W. Sixth St. Post Commander Jerome Hanson said the post has made many changes, including “becoming green,” to keep up with the times.

American Legion working to modernize

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark59

In the near-century since The American Legion was first chartered by Congress in 1919, almost every aspect of society has changed.

The local Dorsey-Liberty Post 14, 3408 W. Sixth St., is doing what it can to keep up.

Post Commander Jerome Hanson, a retired Army first sergeant, said the post’s website, legion14. org, was created about a year ago.

“That’s all new to us,” he said.

The post used to mail bulletins to about 500 members every two months. The most recent one is 10 pages, printed on the front and back.

“It’s gotten so it’s kind of expensive to do all that mailing,” Hanson said. “We said to people, ‘Well, if you still want this mailed to you, let us know.’ We only got five people that responded and said they want it mailed. … It’s a

thing that we were late getting into, but people are changing.”

Having a website does have its perks, particularly when it comes to speeding up communication among members not only in the district but also statewide and nationwide.

“The good part about being on the website is we can change dates or anything like that if we have to,” Hanson said.

Taking the bimonthly newsletter online is just one way Dorsey-Liberty is “becoming a green post,” as Hanson put it. They’ve also started recycling anything they can, and Hanson said he hopes soon the city of Lawrence will extend curbside recycling beyond private residences to include businesses.

Also, Hanson said, it costs about $170 per day to keep the post open and heated or cooled to the right temperature. Currently its hours are 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays

and Thursdays, and when no one is there, Hanson can control the thermostat from his computer at home to save energy.

The increasing population of women in military service is also changing the structure of the Legion.

“The Auxiliary is for women whose husbands have been in the military, but now we’ve got a situation where we have women in the Legion,” Hanson said. “They have husbands. There’s no place for the husbands to come into the organization.”

He said the post is working with National Headquarters to come to a solution.

“We’ve said, ‘Well, let’s have an auxiliary for men, so they have a place to go and talk to other men that are married to veterans,’” he said. “It’s all these changes; they’re

according to the affidavit supporting York’s arrest. The affidavit describes Shewbart as “senior” but does not give an age.

York had been a housekeeper for Shewbart before Shewbart moved to the retirement home, and York and Shewbart had known each other about 12 years, according to the affidavit. Shewbart had given York durable power of attorney in 2010 after Shewbart’s husband died, and York and Shewbart allegedly had a joint checking account. York also allegedly had possession of Shewbart’s debit and credit cards, Shewbart told police.

In February, York allegedly cashed a certificate of deposit of Shewbart’s worth nearly $27,000 to pay Shewbart’s approximate $7,000-per-month rent.

However, York allegedly deposited the money in her own personal checking account. Shewbart claimed she never gave York permission to cash the CD, according to the affidavit.

Lawrence police were first notified of the alleged theft June 15 when a Brandon Woods business manager told officers

department, in part because of a controversy over whether Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was given too many exemptions from county building codes on a project in rural Douglas County.

Plinsky said she reached out to five firms for the work. One replied with a ‘no thank you,’ while Austin Peters and Novak Consulting Group Inc., of Cincinnati, replied with interest.

Novak Consulting told the county the review could be completed in eight weeks at a cost of $17,500.

Commission Chair Jim Flory said he appreciated Austin Peters’ lower price tag, so long as the county placed a cap on the travel expenses, which he said “could quickly add up.”

Now that commissioners have selected a firm, county staff will work with Austin Peters to further define the scope of its review and the timeline. The work is meant to examine the responsiveness, fairness and professionalism and best practices of the department.

Although the review will not focus solely on the Kobach case, that case will be addressed over the course of investigating the review’s three main areas of focus, Commissioner Nancy Thellman said in September.

happening every day.”

The Legion has also become “the” bingo place in town, Hanson said. The post holds bingo games every Wednesday and Saturday. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and games start at 6:45.

Despite all the changes, an age-old problem still exists. Hanson said many veterans don’t want to ask for help, or they feel as though they’ll take services away from someone else who needs them.

that York was supposed to be paying Shewbart’s rent, but she was behind in payments by about $37,000.

Shewbart told police she had given York occasional permission to buy a few personal items — including a used car to take Shewbart on errands — with her money, but expected York to be paying her rent.

Shewbart told police she would have preferred York pay her rent rather than purchasing a car, according to the affidavit.

“At times during the interview with Shewbart, she appeared sad and would quietly cry,” Lawrence police officer Larry Hamilton wrote in the affidavit. “Shewbart said she felt sorry for York’s children.”

When interviewed June 24, York told police that she spent about $18,000 on personal and family expenses at Shewbart’s request to “spend down” Shewbart’s bank account so Shewbart could qualify for government assistance.

York told police the rent issues had been “recently taken care of with a check,” according to the affidavit. Police, however, noted Shewbart was still behind in rent by more than $11,000 on June 24.

York reported that she had a “great” relationship with Shewbart, and that

Shewbart “calls (York) her daughter,” according to the affidavit. York also told officers that Shewbart’s “health and memory” were “slipping,” so York was in charge of shopping for Shewbart and paying her bills.

Early in the interview, York allegedly told officer Mike Cobb that she did not believe she had committed a crime because she had heeded Shewbart’s wishes, according to the affidavit.

“I don’t feel like I have done anything wrong,” York allegedly told Cobb.

“Billie wanted me to spend the money down to get on Medicare.”

Shewbart said she had cashed the CD and spent about $18,000 of it “on personal and family items to ‘spend down the account’ and get Billie on government assistance,” Cobb wrote in the affidavit. York later would say she spent “most” of the nearly $27,000 CD on her own expenses.

When asked why she did not spend the money on Shewbart’s rent to deplete the account, York told police that someone named “Kim” at Brandon Woods had “told her to spend the money down.” However York “could not remember anything about this person, including a full name,” Cobb wrote in the affidavit.

Eventually, York told Cobb she “feel(s) bad

review will then be presented to county commissioners, Plinsky said.

Commissioners on Wednesday also unanimously approved proposed changes to Horizon 2020, the long-term and comprehensive plan for future development in Lawrence and unincorporated areas of Douglas County.

In August, the plan’s Horizon 2020 Steering Committee identified 19 areas of focus to be studied and changed, said Lawrence city planner Jeff Crick. The areas include retail development, transportation, housing and more. The Lawrence City Commission unanimously approved the changes on Tuesday.

Now that both the county and city commissions have adopted the changes, city planning staff will apply them to the long-term plan. That plan should be updated by next fall, Crick said.

Also on Wednesday’s agenda: l Commissioners unanimously agreed to extend contract work with two Kansas University employees whose contract services on the county’s potential mental health crisis center and jail expansion projects have expired. l Commissioners unanimously agreed to allow the county administrator to seek out a design professional to work with the county on the potential mental health crisis center and jail expansion project.

about not taking care of the rent,” according to the affidavit. She allegedly admitted that “it was wrong for her to not pay Billie Jean’s rent, and she did not have an excuse for doing so,” Cobb wrote in the affidavit.

“I should have paid her rent,” York said, according to the affidavit. “I am a bad person, I guess.”

Cobb said in the affidavit that he then advised York of the criminal statute for mistreatment of a dependent adult, and York allegedly said that she felt the statute “applied to her situation.”

York was later arrested and charged last month with felony mistreatment of a dependent adult by taking between $25,000 and $100,000.

Kansas statute defines York’s charge as “taking the personal property or financial resources of a dependent adult for the benefit of the defendant or another person by taking control, title, use or management of the personal property or

L awrence J ournal -W orld financial resources of a dependent adult through a violation of the Kansas power of attorney act.”

She is scheduled to appear next in court on Nov. 18 for a hearing.

York is free on a $10,000 own-recognizance bond, meaning she did not have to pay money to be released from jail, but promised to return for all future court dates. If she fails to appear, she will be taken to jail and required to pay the $10,000 to be released again.

If convicted, York could spend about 2.5 to more than 11 years in prison, depending on her criminal history. If York has no more than two prior misdemeanor convictions, she could be eligible for probation.

An obituary published in an Enid, Okla. newspaper lists a 71-year-old Billie Jean Shewbart of Lawrence as having died Sept. 9.

BRIEFLY Cause determined in Monday house fire

Fire investigators determined the cause of a Monday evening fire that displaced a family at 1135 Stone Meadows Drive in west Lawrence.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree said the fire was accidental, caused by a pan left unattended on the stove. She said the fire is estimated to have caused around $150,000 in damage.

When crews arrived at the two-story reverse ranch style home Monday, they found heavy fire and smoke emitting from the garage area, Tolefree said Monday.

The family escaped the house uninjured, but their dog died. No firefighters were injured while extinguishing the flames.

Missing brother is normal, can be managed Dear Annie: I am a 12-year-old boy with a problem. My dad died when I was a baby, so it’s just my mom, my 22-year-old brother “Jason” and me. Mom works two jobs, and basically, Jason has taken care of me.

Jason is my hero.

He helps me with my homework, takes me places and protects me.

He planned his college classes around my school schedule, so he could drop me off and pick me up every day.

He gave up many nights out to stay home with me when Mom had to work an extra shift.

Jason graduated from college in June and was accepted to an overseas program. I told him I would be OK with it. He left a month ago and I really thought I would be fine, but I am not. I miss him so much there are

days I actually feel sick.

I said something about it to my best friend at school, and he just laughed at me. Then he told everybody and they started teasing me, so I said I was only joking, which made me feel guilty.

Now I am afraid to say anything about how I feel. If I tell my mom, she will worry. Jason and I email every day and Skype a few times a week, but it’s just not the same. Is there some-

Kids take ‘Project Runway’ Many memorable “Project Runway” contestants have been immature, emotional, highstrung, irrepressible and overbearing in their exuberance. But now they will at least be acting their age. “Project Runway Junior” (8 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG) invites talented designers ages 13 to 17 to compete under the wise mentorship of Tim Gunn. Christian Siriano, Aya Kanai and Kelly Osbourne serve as judges.

The “Junior” edition follows a reunion of the “Project Runway” (7 p.m., TVPG) season 14 cast.

You’ll have to remember way back to last week to recall what they all did.

Eminent domain threatens Han’s diner and Max and Caroline’s cupcake window as “2 Broke Girls” (8:30 p.m., CBS, TV-14) opens its fifth season.

This more than occasionally smutty sitcom depends almost entirely on the “Odd Couple” casting of a former socialite (Beth Behrs) and a wisecracking waitress (Kat Dennings).

The formula has been enough to propel this comedy into syndication, inspiring CBS to reboot “The Odd Couple.” That sitcom, starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon, will return midseason, with Teri Hatcher as a guest star.

Division rivals the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets meet in New Jersey on “Thursday Night Football” (7:25 p.m., NFL), a game that also touches on approaches to business and public relations skills.

Bills coach Rex Ryan used to work for the Jets, where his brash personality and penchant for prediction-making fed into the bottomless maw of New York sports media. Some found Ryan entertaining, while others saw his grandstanding as a needless distraction. The Jets have exceeded expectations and have a 5-3 record under their much more reticent coach Todd Bowles. With Ryan at the helm, the Bills are 4-4.

PBS repeats the Veterans Day documentary “Debt of Honor: Disabled Veterans in American History” (8 p.m., TV-PG), a look at how society’s attitudes toward returning veterans have changed, and endured, from the time of the Civil War to today.

A magician tries a death-de-

fying act and fails on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

A long-term-care patient proves taxing on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

An assignment reopens a wound for Samar on “The Blacklist” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Pandora meets her match on “Sleepy Hollow” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

A White House guest has shocking secrets on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

Holmes’ has his doubts about his father’s kind gestures on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

thing wrong with me?

What can I do to make it stop hurting so much? — Love My Brother Dear Brother: There is nothing wrong with you. Jason has been a father substitute and it is perfectly natural for you to miss him terribly when he is so far away.

But it’s obvious that you want what’s best for Jason, and that involves a bit of sacrifice.

Some of your heartache will lessen with time, provided you focus less on Jason’s absence and more on what is happening around you. Spend more time with your friends, get involved and consider tutoring someone in a subject you are good at.

(Helping someone else can take your mind off of other things.) Don’t be afraid to talk about this — not to your friends, who are too immature

Naming honor Lawrence couple Don and Beverly Gardner are worthy of the new Boys & Girls Club teen center’s name.

I

t is a fitting tribute that the new teen center for the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence will be named “The Don and Beverly Gardner Center for Great Futures.”

Last week, Harry Herington and his wife, Cindy, announced their pledge of $250,000 toward the construction of the center in honor of the Gardners, for whom the new center will be named.

The announcement came, appropriately, during an evening workout in South Park led by Don “Red Dog” Gardner.

Gardner is well known for leading community workouts for youth and adults. He has done so for three decades. The Gardners also have spearheaded an annual run as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club.

Most school day afternoons, the Boys & Girls Club’s teen center hosts approximately 70 teens at 1520 Haskell Ave. Officials say the current facility is limited by space and amenities and that the new center will allow the club to serve more youth and provide more programs.

The future teen center will be adjacent to the newly completed Lawrence College and Career Center at 2910 Haskell Ave. The 30,000-square-foot facility will share spaces for music, arts, athletics and a culinary kitchen with the Lawrence school district, according to the club. The tentative timeline for construction of the facility is to break ground next fall and to open the teen center by August 2017.

The construction timeline is dependent on fundraising. The new facility is estimated to cost $5 million. The Heringtons’ gift brings the total raised to $1.2 million.

As we have noted before, the Boys & Girls Club does outstanding work in Lawrence, and its support in the community has officials optimistic they will reach their fundraising goal.

Having the facility named in honor of the Gardners should help the effort.

The surprise announcement last week caused Don Gardner, a former Marine and police officer, to choke up. “I grew up in a foster home, and I have said to Boys & Girls Club people that I wish there had been one when I was here,” he told the crowd gathered for the announcement.

Colby Wilson, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club, said “We can’t think of two better people for what we’re going to do for our teen center” than the Gardners. Neither can we — naming the teen center for them is an appropriate way to recognize the Gardners, who have made a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of Lawrence residents, particularly the community’s youth.

O’Reilly makes a mess of history Washington — Were the lungs the seat of wisdom, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly would be wise, but they are not and he is not. So it is not astonishing that he is doubling down on his wager that the truth cannot catch up with him. It has, however, already done so.

The prolific O’Reilly has, with his collaborator Martin Dugard, produced five “history” books in five years: “Killing Lincoln,” “Killing Kennedy, “Killing Jesus,” “Killing Patton” and now the best-selling “Killing Reagan.” Because no one actually killed Reagan, O’Reilly keeps his lucrative series going by postulating that the bullet that struck Reagan in March 1981 kind of, sort of killed him, although he lived 23 more years.

O’Reilly “reports” that the trauma of the assassination attempt was somehow causally related to the “fact” that Reagan was frequently so mentally incompetent that senior aides contemplated using the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

But neither O’Reilly nor Dugard spoke with any of those aides — not with Ed Meese, Jim Baker, George Shultz or any of the scores of others who could, and would, have demolished O’Reilly’s theory. O’Reilly now airily dismisses them because they “have skin in the game.” His is an interesting approach to writing history: Never talk to anyone with first-hand knowledge of your subject.

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

(O’Reilly’s) is an interesting approach to writing history: Never talk to anyone with first-hand knowlege of your subject.”

Instead, O’Reilly made the book’s “centerpiece” a memo he has never seen and never tried to see until 27 days after the book was published. Then Dugard asked the Reagan Library to find it.

Recently on Fox, O’Reilly put this on the screen from Sue Janzen of Yorba Linda, California: “We went to the Reagan Library, and were told they do not sell Killing Reagan because it’s not factual.” Then O’Reilly said: “You were deceived, Sue. The Reagan Library is angry at Martin Dugard and me because we’re seeking” the Cannon memo. He added: “The memo’s disappeared.

But Dugard and I are on the case and the library is not happy about it.”

“Disappeared”? His crude intimation was that the allegedly deceptive library is hiding the memo. The library, however, has never

had it because when James Cannon wrote it he was not a member of the White House staff, hence the memo was not a “presidential record.”

O’Reilly recently canceled an interview with Meese, who says O’Reilly told him he was “vetting” the memo. (How does one vet a memo one does not possess?) O’Reilly says he canceled the interview because Meese set “conditions.” Meese, who was eager to be interviewed, waived any conditions.

The “centerpiece” memo was written by Cannon at the request of former Sen. Howard Baker when Baker was about to replace the fired Don Regan as Reagan’s chief of staff. The memo assessing White House conditions apparently included disparagements of Reagan from some unhappy Regan staffers.

The memo was presented to Baker at a meeting at Baker’s home attended by A.B. Culvahouse, who the next day would become counsel to the president. Culvahouse remembers the normally mildmannered Baker brusquely dismissing the memo: “That’s not the Reagan I met with two days ago.”

Neither Baker nor Culvahouse considered the memo important enough to save.

Meeting with Reagan the next day, Baker and others found no reason to question his competence.

O’Reilly impales himself on a contradiction: He says his book is “laudatory” about Reagan — and that it is being attacked by Reagan “guardians” and “loyalists.”

How odd. Liberals, who have long recognized that to discredit conservatism they must devalue Reagan’s presidency, surely are delighted with O’Reilly’s assistance.

The diaspora of Reagan administration alumni, and the conservative movement, now recognize O’Reilly as an opportunistic interloper.

He began his profitable paltering with America’s past with “Killing Lincoln.”

Historians advising the National Park Service, which administers Ford’s Theatre, found a multitude of errors in the first, uncorrected version, in which, for example, O’Reilly repeatedly places Lincoln in the Oval Office, which was built in 1909. The Theatre bookstore still does not sell “Killing Lincoln.”

The Theatre gift shop, a commercial rather than educational entity, does. Four “histories” later, O’Reilly remains slipshod.

In “The Great Gatsby,” F. Scott Fitzgerald writes of Tom and Daisy Buchanan who “smashed up things” and then “retreated back into ... their vast carelessness ... and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” Tidying up after O’Reilly could be a full-time job but usually is not worth the trouble. When, however, O’Reilly’s vast carelessness pollutes history and debases the historian’s craft, the mess is, unlike O’Reilly, to be taken seriously.

African America has promises to keep We are gathered here today not to argue about some policy prescription, nor to excoriate some public figure.

No, we are gathered because sometimes, you have no choice, sometimes, you simply have a duty to bear witness.

A child was killed last week in Chicago. He was shot to death.

It is a measure of America that the statement is, of itself, unremarkable. Children are shot all the time in this country. But what makes this shooting stand out is that 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee was targeted. Police say the child, who was black, was lured into an alley and shot multiple times.

According to them, the execution was part of an ongoing dispute between rival street gangs and was intended as retaliation against Tyshawn’s father, Pierre Stokes. They say Stokes, 25, is a gang member who has refused to cooperate with the investigation. Stokes, in turn, told the Chicago Tribune he doesn’t believe the killing had anything to do with him and that anybody who wanted to hurt him could do so easily enough without going after his son. “I’m not hard to find,” he said.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Small wonder, in that sludge of human malfunction, that someone became cold enough to target a little boy for execution.”

Twenty-one years ago, a 5-year-old black child named Eric Morse was dropped 14 stories to his death by a 10-year-old and an 11-year-old because he would not steal candy for them.

It is, however, the death of another black boy from Chicago that paints all this in shades of irony. In 1955, Mamie Till Mobley sent her 14-year-old only child, Emmett Till, down South to spend the summer. After he was lynched for supposedly flirting with a white woman, she recalled ruefully how she

had warned him to be careful; told him Mississippi was dangerous for black children.

But six decades later, there are few places more dangerous for black children — for black people — than Chicago itself. In 2014, 411 people died there by murder or non-negligent manslaughter. New York City, with three times Chicago’s 2.7 million population, only recorded 333 such deaths. An overwhelming number of the victims were (as always) African-American.

Black lives matter, we say.

Indeed, a lifetime ago, black people decided they mattered too much to sit helplessly by as they were poured out like water by hateful white men in places like Mississippi, Florida and Arkansas. So six million strong, they fled the South in a Great Migration, seeking “liberty and justice for all,” “all men are created equal,” “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and all the other promises that comprise America.

Chicago was one of their major destinations. It was the pot of gold at the end of the railroad tracks. It was the exhalation of hope heard as the bus doors sighed open.

But black people soon

found that in Chicago — as in other cities — America’s promise offered them only mop buckets, chauffeur’s caps and ghettos teeming with vermin, the constricted parameters of their lives patrolled by police with batons and bankers with maps crisscrossed by red lines. Eventually, the parameters would also enforce themselves: miseducation, teen pregnancy and crime.

Small wonder, in that sludge of human malfunction, that someone became cold enough to target a little boy for execution. Or that a 25-year-old father now mourns a 9-year-old son.

And bearing witness feels like impotence, but like duty, too, a reminder that there are promises America still owes African America, and that African America also owes itself, promises life owes to life and that the price of the ongoing refusal to keep those promises is too often paid in children’s blood.

Five days after Tyshawn’s murder, a boy named J’Quantae Riles was shot to death shortly after visiting a Chicago barbershop. He was 14.

Douglas County saw winds of about 35 mph and gusts of up to 55 mph Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service, causing damage and power outages throughout the county.

Douglas County was under a high wind advisory from about 2:20 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday as winds knocked over trees and power lines in Lawrence and the surrounding areas.

A downed power line just east of Eudora in the 1800 block of North 1500 Road reported around 11:40 a.m. left about 64 customers

ers reported a second power-line pole along North 1500 Road had snapped between East 1750 and East 1900 roads.

Around 1:15 p.m., winds broke a power-line pole in the 2300 block of Crestline Drive, causing about 140 Westar Energy customers in the area to lose power, according to Westar. Crestline Drive was closed as Westar employees responded to the report and repaired the pole.

Others in Lawrence reported downed trees and branches. One tree limb knocked into the street near the intersection of

Seventh and Locust streets around 1 p.m. blocked traffic before it could be cleared from the road.

Locust and Sixth closed this week The intersection of Locust and Sixth streets in North Lawrence will be closed through Saturday, the city of Lawrence said in a news release Wednesday.

The closure is due to the construction involved with the Maple Street Pump Station in North Lawrence. The work taking place involves the rerouting of water lines in preparation for the new storm sewer line that will be installed at a later date.

messages to monitor drug traffickers across the USA despite objections from Justice Department lawyers who fear the practice may not be legal.

Nearly all of that surveillance was authorized by a single state court judge in Riverside County, who signed off last year on almost five times as many wiretaps as any other judge in the USA. The judge’s orders allowed investigators — usually from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration — to intercept more than 2 million

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION conversations involving 44,000 people, federal court records show.

The eavesdropping is aimed at dismantling the drug rings that have turned Los Angeles’ dusty eastern suburbs into what the DEA says is the nation’s busiest shipping corridor for heroin and methamphetamine.

Riverside wiretaps are supposed to be tied to crime within the county, but

investigators have relied on them to make arrests and seize shipments of cash and drugs as far away as New York and Virginia, sometimes concealing the surveillance in the process.

The surveillance has raised concerns among Justice Department lawyers in Los Angeles, who have mostly refused to use the results in federal court because they have concluded the state

court’s eavesdropping orders are unlikely to withstand a legal challenge, current and former officials said.

“It was made very clear to the agents that if you’re going to go the state route, then best wishes, good luck and all that, but that case isn’t coming to federal court,” a former Justice Department lawyer said.

Source Credit Suisse Research Institute’s 2015 “Global Wealth Report” TERRY BYRNE AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Department of Veterans Affairs doled out more than $142 million in bonuses to executives and employees for performance in 2014 even as scandals over veterans’ health care and other issues racked the agency.

Among the recipients were claims processors in a Philadelphia benefits office that investigators dubbed the worst in the country last year. They received $300 to $900 each. Managers in Tomah, Wis., got $1,000 to $4,000, even though they oversaw the overprescription of opiates to veterans — one of whom died.

The VA rewarded executives who managed construction of a facility in Denver, a disastrous project years overdue and more than $1 billion over budget. They took home $4,000 to $8,000 each. In St. Cloud, Minn., where an internal investigation report last year outlined mismanagement that led to mass resignations of health care providers, the chief of staff cited by investigators received a performance bonus of almost $4,000.

As one of his final acts last year before resigning, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki announced he was suspending bonuses in the wake of revelations that VA employees falsified wait lists to meet waittime targets — ostensibly as part of efforts to secure the extra pay.

But he curtailed them only for a sliver of VA executives — those in senior levels of the Veterans Health Administration, which oversees health care.

The agency has continued to pay performance-based bonuses to nearly half of agency employees, including in health administration, according to data provided to USA TODAY by the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. In all, about 156,000 executives, managers and employees received them for 2014 performance.

VA spokesman James Hutton said the vast majority of agency

IN NEW YORK CITY, BY ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Veterans were honored across the nation Wednesday. At Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama defended his administration’s progress on veterans issues. employees are committed to serving veterans.

“VA will continue to review tools and options in order to ensure the department is able to attract and retain the best talent to serve our nation’s veterans, while operating as a good steward of taxpayer funds,” Hutton said.

That’s not good enough for Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House VA committee, which has investigated questionable VA bonuses for years. Miller said the most recent awards reflect a “disturbing trend of rewarding employees who preside over corruption and incompetence.”

He noted the agency paid more than $380,000 in 2013 performance bonuses to top officials at hospitals where veterans faced long delays in receiving treatment, including those under investigation for wait-time manipulation. “Rewarding failure only breeds more failure,” he said.

BONUS BENEFICIARIES Here are some of the recipients: uIn Tomah, Wis., the former chief of staff of the VA medical center, David Houlihan received a $4,000 bonus in December, nine months after an inspector general investigation report concluded he was prescribing alarmingly high amounts of opiates. uIn Colorado, a flawed facility construction project in Denver was overseen in part by several VA officials headquartered in Washington. Among them were Stella Fiotes, executive director of the VA’s Office of Construction and Facilities Management, who received a $8,985 bonus; Dennis Milsten, an associate director in the same office, who got $8,069; and Chris Kyrgos, former national acquisitions director, who took home $3,800. uIn St. Cloud, Minn., chief of staff Susan Markstrom got a $3,900 bonus in 2014. She was cited in an

internal investigation report in January 2014 that concluded mismanagement led to mass resignations of health care providers at the facility. St. Cloud VA spokesman Barry Venable said issues cited in the report were in 2013 and Markstrom is “an excellent chief of staff.” uIn Augusta, Ga., VA financial manager Jed Fillingim was awarded a $900 performance bonus. He drew scrutiny from Congress last year after news reports revealed he admitted drinking and driving a government truck to a VA meeting in 2010 and a co-worker fell from the truck and was killed. uIn Arizona, Sandra Flint, former director of the Phoenix regional VA benefits office, received a bonus of $8,348. Irate veterans confronted Flint at a public forum in August 2014 over a backlog of about 8,200 pending benefit claims. Included were 3,667 pending longer than 125 days.

New Earth-like planet found — except it’s 500 degrees Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Scientists have spotted a new planet that’s a dead ringer for our own and resides just around the cosmic corner from our part of the galaxy.

The planet’s proximity and uncanny resemblance to Earth make it “arguably the most important planet ever found outside the solar system,” the University of Maryland’s Drake Deming wrote in a commentary accompanying the scientific report about the discovery.

Dubbed GJ 1132b, it is slightly wider and more massive than Earth. Its composition is similar to Earth’s, and it lies only 39 light-years, or 230 trillion miles, away, which isn’t very far compared to the unfathomable spread of the universe. Other Earth-size planets are more than three times as distant as this one.

If planets outside the solar system, also known as exoplanets, were houses, this one “is not the house right next to yours,” said Boston University astronomer Philip Muirhead, who wasn’t involved in the study. “But it’s on the other side of the block.”

An artist’s rendering of GJ 1132b, an exoplanet very similar to Earth in size that circles a red dwarf star.

And if planet GJ 1132b were a house, it would almost certainly be vacant. The coolest part of its atmosphere measures a scorch-

ing 450 to 500 degrees, akin to “the hottest temperature your oven will go,” said study author Zachory Berta-Thompson of MIT. “It’s definitely a very toasty world” and probably too warm to support life.

But it’s not too toasty to have an atmosphere. Most Earth-size planets outside our solar system are so hot that no atmosphere could survive, but GJ 1132b may have a wrapper of the same gases that swaddle the Earth, BertaThompson and his colleagues wrote in this week’s Nature.

That possibility has scientists rubbing their hands in anticipa-

tion over what they could learn from this world, discovered with a network of small telescopes known as MEarth-South. GJ 1132b is close enough for the Hubble Space Telescope and its successor, now under development, to have a good look at its atmosphere.

Other exoplanets live closer to us than GJ 1132b, but this one is a golden combination of very close and very similar in size to Earth.

Adding to its charms, it circles a relatively small, faint star called a red dwarf. A planet orbiting such a star is easier to study than a planet orbiting a brilliant star.

Koch has no plans to back primary candidate It takes more than talk, he says, there must be results Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch said Wednesday he’s unlikely to back a candidate in the crowded Republican presidential primary, the latest sign that one of the most influential figures in conservative politics seems less than enthusiastic about his choices.

“I have no plans to support anybody in the primary now,” Koch told USA TODAY. Asked what he wants to hear from Republican contenders vying for his support, Koch said, “It’s not only what they say.

“If they start saying things we think are beneficial overall and will change the trajectory of the WASHINGTON

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Charles Koch is chairman and CEO of Koch Industries. country, then that would be good, but we have to believe also they’ll follow through on it, and by and large, candidates don’t do that.”

Koch acknowledged that the vast policy and political network he helps oversee with his New York-based brother, David, might

exceed his fundraising expectations before the presidential and congressional elections.

In recent weeks, the Kansasbased executive downplayed what his organization might spend before the end of 2016, saying his network of about 450 donors might raise $750 million, down from an earlier estimate of $889 million over two years.

Wednesday, he said it’s “possible” that the network could hit its original target and says the network’s fundraising team disagrees with his lower assessment.

He said he’s likely to help a Republican presidential candidate in the general election.

In April, Koch told USA TODAY that his political network could enter the Republican primary for the first time and was weighing supporting one or more contenders from a list of five candidates — former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco

Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

In the months since, Walker has dropped out after struggling financially, and Bush and Paul have seen their standing in the polls fall.

Wednesday, Koch refused to discuss any candidates by name.

“When we do, it’s totally blown out of proportion,” he said.

Koch, who insists he’s not focused on politics, said he has not spoken to any presidential contenders since August when Bush, Walker, Rubio, Cruz and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina appeared at a donors’ seminar in Southern California staged

by Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the network’s umbrella organization.

“My brother talks to them a lot more,” Koch said Wednesday.

“Being in New York, it’s easier for everybody to come and see him.

He’s more interested in the political side.”

Justice Department concerned about taps “the fact that you have my cellphone number is really harassment, and I’m going to report it.”

ity because they were not authorized to discuss the department’s internal deliberations.

Federal agents often prefer to seek permission to tap phones from state courts, instead of federal courts, because the process is generally faster and less demanding than seeking approval through the Justice Department.

In addition, California law allows them to better conceal the identities of confidential informants they rely on to help investigate drug rings. Over the past decade, drug agents have more than tripled their use of wiretaps, mostly by using state court orders.

Wiretaps — which allow the police to secretly monitor Americans’ communications — are among the most intrusive types of searches the police can conduct, and federal law imposes strict limits on when and how they can be used. The law requires that police use wiretaps only after they have run out of other tools to build a case.

In Riverside, the authorities’ use of that last-ditch tool quadrupled over the past four years. Last year alone, Riverside County prosecutors and a local judge approved 624 wiretaps, far more than any other jurisdiction in the USA, according to records compiled by the federal court system.

Nearly all were tied to drug investigations.

“Those numbers — the totals and just the size of some of those wiretaps — are huge red flags for us,” said Dave Maass, an investigative researcher for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

“When there’s this amount of secrecy, it starts to raise serious concerns about accountability for electronic interceptions.”

Because wiretap orders are sealed, there is no way to know precisely how many of them were sought by the DEA and the local officers it deputized to work on a drug task force. Some of the taps were sought by police officers and officers in neighboring counties.

Prosecutors acknowledged, however, that the drug agency plays a leading role in the wiretapping.

The county’s former district attorney, Paul Zellerbach, who presided over the rapid rise in wiretapping before he left office in January, said the drug agency was “a significant player.”

‘SERIES OF REFORMS’

Riverside County’s new district attorney, Mike Hestrin, said he found out about the county’s wiretap numbers not long after taking office after other prosecutors approached him to suggest he look into the matter. He was concerned by what he found.

Hestrin said in an interview that he made a “series of reforms” to how wiretaps are handled, which he said will lead to fewer taps in the future. He said he personally evaluates new wiretap requests and insists that each one must “have a strong investigative nexus” to the county.

Asked if that had been the case in previous years, Hestrin replied, “You’re going to have to extrapolate that.”

Hestrin said prosecutors “follow the law to the letter” when seeking wiretaps, but he would not discuss the details. “This is an area of our law, an area of our law enforcement, where we can’t be totally transparent, in the same way that the federal government can’t be totally transparent about the massive intelligence operations they run,” he said.

WIRETAPS BY JURISDICTION The DEA is bypassing federal courts and the Justice Department and using local prosecutors and judges for wiretap permits.

DEA officials said it should not come as a surprise that so much of their surveillance work happens in the area around Riverside — a vast expanse of suburbs and desert east of Los Angeles, crisscrossed by freeways that have become key shipping routes for drugs moving from Mexico to the USA and for cash making the return journey.

“There are organizations here, and we’re working these organizations, and we’re trying to stay abreast of the technology and all the different ways these organizations are operating,” said Stephen Azzam, the associate special agent in charge of the DEA’s Los Angeles division.

On paper, agents’ choice of state court over federal should not matter: Federal law sets a minimum standard for police to obtain a wiretap, even when they seek one from a state-court judge.

California courts have repeatedly said the state’s wiretaps are sufficient.

Current and former Justice Department officials said prosecutors in Los Angeles repeatedly told the drug agency they would not accept cases based on state court wiretaps — and those from Riverside County in particular — because they believed the applications approved by state judges fell short of what federal law requires. Prosecutors were particularly concerned that the DEA sought state court wiretap orders without adequately showing it had first tried other, less intrusive, investigative techniques.

“They’d want to bring these cases into the U.S. Attorney’s Of-

fice, and the feds would tell them no (expletive) way,” a former Justice Department official said.

In December, for example, court records show, DEA agents and detectives in South Gate, Calif., near Los Angeles, used a state court wiretap to target a suspected drug trafficker named Omar Salazar. Between searches of Salazar’s car and his house, officers seized $76,869.94, a gun and a cache of illegal drugs, including 36 pounds of methamphetamine and 5 pounds of heroin. Investigators found some of the drugs in a safe in Salazar’s garage, along with a box of ammunition and probation paperwork from one of his previous arrests.

That should have been enough to build a significant federal case with a long mandatory prison sentence, but that was not what happened. Court records show the Justice Department prosecuted the $76,869.94 in a civil asset seizure case. But it did not prosecute Salazar. Neither the DEA nor prosecutors would explain why.

PROLIFIC WIRETAPPING

Perhaps the only outward sign that Riverside has become America’s most wiretapped place can be found on a deserted floor of the city’s courthouse. On a recent Friday afternoon, a handful of officers in scruffy jeans and baseball caps waited there with sealed manila envelopes in their hands.

After a few minutes, they disappeared inside Judge Helios Hernandez’s locked courtroom for hearings that are closed to the public.

No judge in the USA has been so prolific in authorizing eavesdropping.

Records compiled by the federal courts’ administrative office show Hernandez authorized 624 wiretaps that ended last year and 339 that ended the year before.

Hernandez approved three times more taps than all of the federal judges in California combined last year and once received more wiretap applications in a day, 17, than most courts do in a year.

(The court office counts wires based on when they end, rather than when they begin, to avoid revealing ongoing investigations.)

The next-closest court was in Las Vegas, where judges approved 177 wiretaps that ended last year.

California law generally requires that each county court appoint one judge to handle wiretaps. For the past three years, that job fell to Hernandez, who was Riverside’s chief narcotics prosecutor before he became a judge. The records do not indicate how many wiretaps, if any, Hernandez turned down.

Hernandez declined to com-

ment through a spokesman. Riverside County’s presiding judge, Harold Hopp, said judges do not decide how many eavesdropping applications are submitted to them; “they have to consider each one on its merits.”

Federal records show the taps that ended in 2014 cost more than $18 million. The records do not indicate who paid for them.

The figures are based on reports that judges and prosecutors are required to submit each year to the federal courts’ administrative office.

Those reports show the overwhelming majority of the more than 2 million communications investigators intercepted last year as a result of Riverside wiretaps had nothing to do with crime. Police are not supposed to record conversations that are not relevant to their investigations.

DEA officials said the agency conducts its wiretaps wherever their investigations lead them.

The Riverside field office, which also covers neighboring San Bernardino County, was responsible for a large share of the agency’s methamphetamine and heroin seizures last year. “We don’t pick a jurisdiction. We take the enforcement action where it’s warranted and where we can do it effectively,” spokesman Timothy Massino said.

Nonetheless, Hernandez approved 20 times as many wiretaps as his counterparts in San Bernardino County. DEA officials said they could not explain that difference.

Zellerbach said Riverside’s wiretaps multiplied during his tenure because prosecutors and the county’s court became more “efficient and effective” in handling surveillance applications and word spread throughout the law enforcement community, bringing still more applications.

Eventually, Zellerbach said, he learned the county was among the nation’s wiretap leaders. “I thought we were doing a hell of a job,” he said.

Zellerbach said the taps yielded significant arrests and seizures. And they paid other dividends.

“We liked it because in these difficult economic times, my budget was being cut, and that was a way to somewhat supplement funding for my office,” he said in an interview. Prosecutors would not say how much money they received.

Zellerbach said the operation grew under the leadership of an aggressive new lawyer, Deena Bennett, who still heads the wiretap unit. Bennett, a one-time contestant on the reality show Survivor, rebuffed attempts to contact her, telling a reporter that

Investigators have used wiretaps in Riverside to seize hundreds of pounds of drugs and millions of dollars in cash. The taps have helped agents pinpoint smuggling tunnels dug beneath the Mexican border and map the inner workings of trafficking groups.

If the taps also produce arrests, they are difficult to find.

Prosecutors seldom make use of state court wiretaps in the federal courts around Los Angeles.

Defense lawyers in Riverside said they only rarely encounter cases with disclosed wiretaps in state court. The county’s public defenders handle 40,000 criminal cases a year; no more than five involve disclosed wires, said Steve Harmon, the head of that office.

Instead, court records and interviews with DEA officials and prosecutors show the drug agency has used the fruits of its Riverside wiretaps to help stop and seize shipments of drugs and cash elsewhere in the USA. In some of those cases, agents used wiretaps to identify drug couriers, then tipped off other investigators, who were told to find their own independent evidence to conduct a search. That practice, known within the agency as “parallel construction,” is being investigated by the Justice Department’s inspector general.

“That approach ends up insulating dubious police practices from any kind of judicial review.

That’s what so pernicious about it,” American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Nathan Wessler said.

EU draws anger over dropping some ‘Made in Israel’ labels

Shift on goods made in territories is not political, EU says Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

T

he European Union drew Israel’s ire Wednesday after regulators approved guidelines to drop the “Made in Israel” label from merchandise produced in Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.

The new rules refer to the “origin of goods from the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967,” an EU Commission statement said. That includes East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the West Bank — areas where the EU considers Israeli settlements to be illegal under international law.

The guidelines call for new labels across the political bloc’s 28 member states that would distinguish whether merchandise or goods — mostly fruit and vegetables — are made in the controversial Jewish settlements. The directive, called an “interpretive notice” by the EU, was announced at a meeting in Brussels.

Israel swiftly condemned the move. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the EU should be “ashamed” of itself and accused the bloc of punishing “the side that is being attacked by terrorism.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry declared the move an “exceptional and discriminatory step.” Later, it announced Israel was suspending ongoing, regular meetings with the EU in protest. Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon said the suspension would likely be temporary, the Associated Press reported.

“It is puzzling and even irritating that the EU chooses to apply a double standard concerning Israel, while ignoring that there are over 200 other territorial disputes worldwide, including those

occurring within the EU or on its doorstep.

The ALEX WONG, GETTY IMAGES claim that this is a technical matter is cynical and baseless,” the ministry said in its earlier statement.

The EU said the initiative is “not new legislation; it clarifies certain elements linked to the interpretation and the effective implementation of existing EU legislation.”

EU trade with Israel was valued at about $32 billion in 2014, with products made on Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories less than 1% of total trade, the commission said. Some EU

nations, such as Belgium, Britain and Denmark, already use labels that distinguish if a product is made in Jewish settlements.

The EU said the labels are not a first step toward sanctions against Israel, and the “indication of origin will give consumers the possibility to make an informed choice.” EU Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said the decision was a purely a “technical one, not a political stance.”

The guidelines nevertheless appear to highlight that the EU is seeking to formally distinguish its policy on how it deals with Israel and its settlements, which Palestinians say are on land that makes up their future state but upon

which Israel continues to expand.

Israel summoned the EU’s ambassador after the announcement. Speaking to journalists Tuesday night, Yuvak Steinitz, an Israeli cabinet minister, referred to the expected decision as “disguised anti-Semitism.”

“What you see is really that some people, and here unfortunately some institutions in the European Union, are taking steps against Israel that are unparalleled in similar situations,” Steinitz said.

The Palestine Liberation Organization said the labeling was a “step in the right direction but insufficient,” adding that “products of a war crime must be banned not just labeled.”

Burma government promises peaceful transfer of power Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Burma’s government announced Wednesday it will pursue a peaceful transfer of power after decades of military rule, as opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party continues to sweep the ongoing tally of last weekend’s elections, her party said.

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) said it received a message of congratulations from Information Minister Ye Htut on behalf of President Thein Sein for leading in Sunday’s parliamentary elections.

“In honor of the citizens’ desire, the government will pursue a peaceful transfer in accordance with the legislated timeline,” Ye

Htut said in the message, according to the NLD. The statement could not immediately be confirmed.

Results are still being announced, but the NLD won nearly 90% of the 40% of seats declared so far. Sunday’s vote was the first openly contested national election in 25 years for Burma, also known as Myanmar.

Suu Kyi, a democracy icon and Nobel laureate, won her seat in parliament, but she is barred by the constitution from becoming president because her close relatives are foreign. Her late husband was a British national, and she has two British sons. She had spent 15 years under house arrest for defying the nation’s military rulers and was released in 2010.

The NLD said on its Facebook

page that Suu Kyi wrote to Thein Sein, commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing and House Speaker Shwe Mann, asking for a meeting.

Ye Htut said the president and the military will respect the re-

sults of Sunday’s “free and fair elections,” and that the meeting Suu Kyi requested will be held after the Union Election Commission completes its work, the Associated Press reported.

IN BRIEF AUTHORITIES CONFIRM 9 KILLED IN OHIO PLANE CRASH

Authorities confirmed Wednesday that nine people died when a small plane crashed into a multifamily home in Ohio on Tuesday. The plane’s passengers all were employees of Pebb Enterprises, a real estate company in Florida.

A pilot, co-pilot and seven passengers were on board the 10seat Hawker H25, said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Haymaker during a news conference Wednesday.

They were killed when the plane clipped utility wires and crashed into a building with four residences. The building was unoccupied when the crash sparked a fire that destroyed the building.

Authorities in Alabama were struggling Wednesday to determine the fate of an 8-year-old boy accused of fatally beating a 1-

“This is by far one of the saddest cases that I have witnessed and been a part of since I became a police officer,” Birmingham Police Lt. Sean Edwards said at a news conference Tuesday.

Edwards said a murder warrant was issued for the boy after Kelci Devine Lewis was “viciously” beaten to death. Her mother, Katerra Lewis, was charged with manslaughter, he added.

Slovenia's Prime Minister Miro Cerar said the fence was not aimed at closing the border, but at better controlling the flow of people.

Europe is undergoing its worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II, in large part driven by the Syrian civil war.

THE NEW KING OF BEER Kevin McCoy and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Carlos Brito is on the verge of achieving perhaps his greatest dream, completing the roughly $107 billion acquisition of top rival SAB Miller and creating “the first truly global beer company.”

The deal announced Wednesday would unite the Belgium-based maker of Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois with the London-based rival whose brews include Miller Genuine Draft, Pilsner Urquell and Peroni. Together, they would sell more than 30% of all the beer commercially produced worldwide.

The new company would have a major presence in the U.S. and Europe, as well as growing markets in China, Latin America and Africa.

The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2016, provided it wins shareholder approval and passes what’s expected to be tough regulatory scrutiny in the U.S., Europe, China and elsewhere.

As part of the transaction, AB Inbev said it would sell SABMiller’s 58% stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors in a cash deal valued at $12 billion.

The divestiture reflects an effort to appease regulators concerned about the combined giant’s market domination.

“We’ve admired this company for a very long time,” Brito said during a Wednesday conference call. “Together AB InBev and SABMiller create a truly global business.”

AB InBev is known for its Dream-People-Culture mantra: Having major goals, hiring employees who share the dreams and working under a no-frillsfew-perks meritocracy.

Not everyone buys in.

Amazon breaks barrier as most expensive stock Online retailer in a valuation class all its own

Bezos now worth $58.2B as world’s fourth-richest man

@mattkrantz USA TODAY

Amazon likes to undercut rivals’ prices on everything but this: its stock price.

The online retailer’s shares are now trading for almost 950 times diluted earnings during the past 12 months, which makes Amazon the most expensive stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. It’s also the only stock in the index that has currently cracked the 900 price-to-earnings barrier.

There are 14 stocks in the S&P 500, including video streamer Netflix and social media king Facebook, trading for 100 times or more their diluted earnings before extraordinary items.

USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon stock closed at $673.25 Wednesday, solidifying CEO Jeff Bezos’ position as the fourth-richest person in the world.

Bezos actually passed the milestone Tuesday, when Amazon’s upward trend put his fortune at $58.2 billion, Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index said. Bezos overtook Carlos Slim, Mexico’s telecommunications baron, who had been in fourth place.

Bloomberg’s list is slightly different than the one kept by Forbes. Its realtime Richest People on the

Planet list puts Bezos at No. 5, still behind Slim.

Amazon’s stock has risen 113% this year, earning Bezos $29.6 billion since Jan. 1, according to the Bloomberg Index, which ranks the world’s 400 richest people.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates is still the world’s richest person, worth $85 billion, according to the Index.

Second on Bloomberg’s list is Amancio Ortega of Spain, the founder of clothing retailer Inditex SA, with $73.7 billion.

Third is U.S. investor Warren Buffett, with $63.2 billion.

memory, investors are showing they’re willing to pay up for stocks — dearly in some cases.

The P-E on the S&P 500 is now 20 based on operating earnings, S&P Dow Jones Indices says.

That’s above the average 18.8 valuation on that basis since 1988.

Amazon’s P-E isn’t just high relative to the market; the stock is richly valued even if the company

lives up to investors’ high expectations. Amazon’s P-E is 14 times higher than the astounding 67% annual growth analysts expect long term from the company.

That’s an off-the-charts valuation using traditional rules of thumb.

Investors start to think a stock is pricey when its P-E is two times its expected growth rate.

While these companies are commanding impressive valuations, they’re nowhere near the levels seen during the dot-com boom. Amazon didn’t even have a P-E in March 2000 when the Nasdaq composite peaked because the company still was losing money. Amazon’s valuation today is far from Yahoo’s 2,225 P-E in March 2000; Yahoo has a lofty 135 P-E today. Fifteen years after the dot-com peak, the online media company’s stock is down 43% even though its earnings are up 525% since.

Investors ridiculed for “overpaying” for Amazon in 2000 have gotten the last laugh as the stock is up nearly 900%. Amazon could also very well grow into its valuation. The stock is trading for 120 times the $5.50 a share it’s expected to earn in 2016.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Fears of a so-called “earnings recession” are still alive on Wall Street, but with profits coming in better than expected, there’s still a small chance third-quarter profits will eke out a positive gain.

At midday Wednesday, 451 of the 500 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index had reported earnings. The earnings growth rate shows a contraction of -0.9%, which is better than the -4.2% growth forecast by analysts Oct. 1 and close to the -0.3% contraction estimated on July 1, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Earnings have been clipped by a 57% contraction in the hard-hit energy patch, due to the big downdraft in oil prices. Profits

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

also have been dinged by a slowdown in China and a strengthening dollar, which hurts sales and profitability of big U.S. companies that do a lot of business abroad.

It’s not uncommon for actual quarterly earnings to come in 3, 4 or even 5 percentage points stronger than initial analyst estimates. S&P 500 companies eked out quarterly profit gains in the first two quarters of 2015 despite negative growth forecasts headseason. -1.59 ing into the earnings 5-day avg.: If earnings6-month can turn positive it avg.: -10.80 would markLargest a big holding: psychological AAPL boost for investors, as quarterly Most bought: AAPL profits have Most not sold: suffered a AAPL contraction since 2009 at the height of the financial crisis. Indeed, another positive quarter would quiet talk of a profits recession.

But if profits finish the third quarter with negative growth, it will make the chatter about earnings weakness grow even louder.

Investors like wireless carrier’s standout efforts

Q: Will more video streaming hurt T-Mobile?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: T-Mobile US screams to stand out from the other wireless carriers. But its offer to provide more unlimited streaming video data is just noise to investors.

The third largest U.S. wireless carrier behind AT&T and Verizon this week said it soon will allow subscribers of some plans to stream video to their phones without eating into monthly data allowances. Some investors might fear higher costs for T-Mobile to handle the increased video demand. But the fine print shows why it’s not much of a concern.

The video isn’t being streamed at high definition, but rather lower 480p, so it’s not as much of a bandwidth hog.

The offer only includes Hulu, Netflix and HBO. Consumers that watch videos from Facebook and Alphabet’s YouTube, on the other hand, still will need to use their monthly bandwidth allowance.

T-Mobile is famous for its loud antics to draw attention — as the cellular market is mature and becoming a zero-sum game. Getting new subscribers usually requires convincing people to switch from another carrier. So far, T-Mobile’s efforts seem to please investors. Shares are up more than 35% this year hitting roughly $37 a share Wednesday.

Analysts think shares could be worth $47 a share in 18 months and profit double next year.

Companies still chipping away at health insurance benefits Jayne O’Donnell @JayneODonnell USA TODAY

Companies’ health care costs in 2015 rose at the lowest rate in at least 20 years, says a report out Thursday, but workers’ share of costs continues to skyrocket.

The average health care rate increase for midsized and large companies was 3.2% this year, the lowest since the consulting firm Aon started tracking it in 1996.

Despite this, the average amount workers have to contribute toward their health care is up more

than 134% over the past decade, and that trend will accelerate.

“Our clients say, ‘I can’t keep paying more and more of these ever-rising health costs,’ ” says Craig Dolezal, a senior vice president of Aon’s health practice.

Employees on average contributed $2,490 toward premiums and another $2,208 in out-ofpocket costs, such as co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles, the report shows. The amount of employees’ premium and out-of-pocket costs combined was just $2,001 in 2005.

Increases in deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs stem in

GETTY IMAGES/ZOONAR RF

Company health plans keep shrinking, a new report finds.

large part from the looming “Cadillac tax” that takes effect in 2018, experts at Aon and consulting firm Towers Watson say.

This tax — which some members of Congress want to kill — penalizes companies for having especially generous cost sharing beginning in January 2018. High deductible plans are the easiest way to avoid the tax.

“No question change is afoot, and the excise tax is a catalyst for change,” says Randall Abbott, a senior strategist in consulting firm Towers Watson’s health and group benefits practice.

Although some critics say companies are going farther and moving faster than they need to in cutting health benefits ahead of the tax, Dolezal says companies

couldn’t realistically wait and make drastic changes in cost sharing just for 2018. Employers are instead raising cost sharing and helping workers learn how to shop for health care. No matter what happens to this tax, workers can expect to face more surcharges on spouses who can get insurance through their own employers and limits on specialty drug coverage.

Towers Watson own analysis of business’ health costs last month found about 53% of employers already restrict coverage of specialty drugs and 32% more are expected to do so by 2018.

Hollywood’s ordeal before Congress plays out in the life of one of its top screenwriters JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Bryan Cranston, who plays the title role in Trumbo, says screenwriter Dalton Trumbo handled his 1947 grilling by the House Un-American Activities Committee “with wit and humor, and it’s emblematic of our movie.”

Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

Even when empty, the Cannon Caucus Room, where men and women argued and fought for their lives and their livelihoods in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee decades ago, is filled with an unmistakable sense of history.

And after playing screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who defended his own beliefs in the committee’s hearings in Washington, D.C., in 1947, Trumbo star Bryan Cranston takes in all of it when he walks through the room’s grand doors. “Man,” he says. “You can feel the ghosts, can’t you?”

Trumbo (in select theaters now and going nationwide later this month) chronicles much of the irascible scribe’s life as he went from being one of Hollywood’s top storytellers to getting hauled in front of the committee for his communist leanings — with the blacklisted writer going to prison after being convicted for contempt of Congress.

Walking around the Caucus Room, Cranston can’t help but stand on the central podium and WASHINGTON

HILARY BRONWYN GAYLE

Trumbo, Cranston says, wanted to show the “ridiculousness” of the congressional panel’s hunt for communists. state that infamous query Trumbo and the rest of the Hollywood Ten faced: “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”

Trumbo’s answer to that in the film: “Many questions can be answered yes or no, only by a moron or a slave.”

The scene where Trumbo, cigarette in hand, is being interrogated by the committee is one of Cranston’s favorites, and because footage exists of the real-life fig-

ure’s testimony, the actor was able to see how he handled himself in the thick of it.

“I felt he was very confident going in, that he was not going to be bullied or feel that he was belittled sitting there testifying,” Cranston says.

In fact, he was as vicious with his answers as the committee was with its questioning. When Trumbo doesn’t budge on giving up info on his affiliation, committee chairman J. Parnell Thomas

(James DuMont), a representative from New Jersey, barks, “Are you refusing to answer?” Trumbo replies, “Mr. Chairman, I shall refuse to answer none of your questions.”

“He did that on purpose. He wanted to tie this up,” Cranston says. “He wanted to have the audience — the witnesses, the spectators — to laugh and put a mirror up to the committee and show the ridiculousness of it.”

Even faced with jail time after his conviction, a reporter asks Trumbo, “Are you in contempt of Congress?” and he calmly says in cantankerous fashion, “Well, I have total contempt of this Congress.”

That was just Trumbo being Trumbo, says director Jay Roach.

“He was a debater in high school and an orator, and he had an oldschool tendency to perform his arguments and his ideas like someone on a stage.”

And in the movie, he says, “Bryan really loved fully embodying that tendency of Trumbo and trying to channel that kind of zeal and passion and charisma.”

It was a serious situation the real Trumbo “handled with wit and humor,” Cranston adds, “and it’s emblematic of our movie.”

It’s all so beautiful.

By the Sea’s first frames focus on two of the most photogenic movie stars on the planet (married in real life, to boot), careening along a seaside road in Malta.

The world, not to mention the box office, should be their oyster.

But upon viewing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s European honeymoon project, edited into a 122-minute weepy drama, critics are confused, and distributor Universal Pictures doesn’t seem any clearer.

Is By the Sea (which hits theaters in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto on Friday) a carefully paced European-style indie?

(Not quite; Universal produced it for $10 million.) Is it a bookend to the black comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which during its making the couple fell in love 10 years ago? No, thanks to By the Sea’s scant (but treasured) tonguein-cheek moments. OK, is it a peek into their marriage? Jolie Pitt, as she bills herself in the movie, says no.

“This is a film, at the core, about grief, and that grief was

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

By the Sea is the third directorial effort for Angelina Jolie. from the loss of my mother,” she said at By the Sea’s AFI Fest premiere last week in Hollywood.

“But at the end, I think this film is also about learning about how to move past it.”

Written, directed and produced by Jolie Pitt, By the Sea is a study on the rocky marriage of 1970s author Roland (he has writer’s block) and his former dancer wife, Vanessa, who remains bereft and withdrawn, her slender frame drowning in fabric and false eyelashes.

It’s only when two attractive French newlyweds (Melvil Poupaud and Melanie Laurent) check

into the room next door — and Vanessa finds a peephole to watch them have sex — that flashes of vibrancy pierce through her anguish.

Variety’s Justin Chang called By the Sea “an unabashed vanity project … meandering and overlong in ways that will test the patience of even die-hard Brangelina fans.” The Hollywood Reporter found even the film’s final dramatic payoff (why is Vanessa so sad?) underwhelming.

“There’s no catharsis at the end from the journey taken, just relief that it’s over,” critic Todd McCarthy wrote.

A few facts behind the film assist in revealing its raison d’etre.

Shortly before marrying Pitt last summer and setting off for Malta with their six children, Jolie had completed her biggest feature to date, Unbroken, also for Universal. (It grossed a respectable $115 million domestically.)

The studio likely wants to remain in business with Jolie, says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. Not to mention, when powerhouses appear together on screen (Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman or Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) it can prove fruitful. (Let’s not speak of what can happen otherwise ... Gigli.)

According to Universal, the film will hit10 theaters this weekend, a surprising move. “Most studio films, set for wide release, are released to a minimum of 2,000 theaters,” Bock says. By the Sea does plan to expand to additional markets on Nov. 20, though the studio would not confirm which ones or how many.

Bock calls the cautious rollout “pretty telling. Two actors like this, some of the biggest names in Hollywood, to really have no buzz behind (their film) is really surprising, no matter what (kind of film) it is.”

KANSAS VOLLEYBALL

So close

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas volleyball setting loftier goals Eighteenth-year Kansas University volleyball coach Ray Bechard’s program has come so far so swiftly in the past handful of years that the Jayhawks took mighty Texas to five sets Wednesday night in electric Horejsi and instead of strutting at that achievement they kicked themselves for not winning it in four sets. And rightly so.

Better serving late in the third set could have made a four-set victory happen, which would have put Kansas alone atop the Big 12 standings. Instead, KU trails Texas by a game with four matches left after losing in five sets.

Kansas will earn its fourth consecutive NCAA tournament invitation, a program first, and is ranked 10th in the nation and sixth in the most recent RPI rankings.

An NCAA rule change also plays to KU’s favor in terms of having a stronger homecourt advantage come tournament time. Thanks to the lowering of the minimum capacity required for tournament matches, Horejsi now qualifies and the site won’t have to be Allen Fieldhouse, where bigger crowds could be accommodated, but the less intimate setting would dilute the homecourt advantage.

“I don’t think there’s any reason why you want to play anywhere else after the environment you saw tonight,” Bechard said. “I’d be all for going to the fieldhouse, because we could get 5,000, 6,000 people and grow the sport, but I think the big thing is to give our team the best chance to win.”

No-brainer. Play them at Horejsi and find a way to hog the tickets for Kansas fans to the greatest extent possible.

Even before this recent elevation of the program, one aided by associate head coach Laura “Bird” Kuhn and assistant coach Todd Chamberlain, both 2010 additions, volleyball crowds had lent loud support from loyal backers.

As the program’s recruiting has improved, the decibel level in the building has kept pace.

As with so many athletic programs at Kansas, the Texas recruiting pipeline has served the Jayhawks well. A talented trio of sophomore Texans — superstar Kelsie Payne (Austin), Madison Rigdon (Plugerville) and Ainise Havili (Fort Worth) — all had memorable plays during Wednesday’s five-set thriller. Junior Tayler Soucie from Osawatomie and senior Tiana Dockery from Richmond, Texas, had exceptional nights.

Kansas never looked intimidated Wednesday to share the floor with mighty Texas.

“I think our kids believe that this is a legit volleyball program,” Bechard said. “...There’s an expectation.

There’s a culture. And I think we can continue to maintain that and grow.”

Texas turns back Jayhawks in five sets

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Losing to powerful Texas in a five-set thriller in a match for first place in the Big 12 Conference — before a loud sellout crowd Wednesday in Horejsi Center — made Kansas University’s volleyball players feel just like one would imagine they’d feel.

“It hurts a lot,” KU senior Tiana Dockery said after blasting 18 kills against three errors with 13 digs in the No. 10-ranked (22-2, 10-2) Jayhawks’ 25-20, 20-25, 28-30, 25-22, 9-15 loss to the No. 5-rated (21-2, 11-1) Longhorns.

“But I felt our team did really well,” Dockery quickly added.

Indeed ... KU’s Kelsie Payne ripped 23 kills against zero errors and Tayler Soucie 16 kills against one error, while Janae Hall and Madison Rigdon had nine kills each. Ainise Havili dished 67 assists and Cassie Wait totaled 17 digs in a match that did not resemble Texas’ 3-0 rout of KU on Oct. 23 in Austin.

“We were just discussing (in locker room) my sophomore year we played a fiveset match against Texas.

It’s the year we went to the

Sweet 16,” Dockery said. “We talked about coming together as a team even more.”

Or as Soucie said ... “we know what we can do. We know if we take care of our side, if we don’t give them serves, don’t make hitting errors, we take care of our stuff we can beat anybody. We can do a lot.

“A lot of us showed we can play. When we have everybody, who can stop us?” Soucie added.

KU had chances to win the third set. In fact the Jayhawks had set point twice. But UT, which has beaten KU 24 straight times, claimed the 30-28 win. KU battled back and won the fourth set. The Jayhawks trailed 4-3 in a fifth set KU coach Ray Bechard called “choppy,” and never led the rest of the way in KU’s first five-set match of the year.

“We played with a lot of will today, a lot of pride, went toe-to-toe with a highlevel team,” Bechard said.

“We’ve just got to figure out how to make a few plays to get a different result.”

KU will next meet TCU at 1 p.m., Saturday, in Horejsi, while Texas travels to Iowa

Attorney confident Diallo will play this season

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Don Jackson, the attorney who is representing the guardian of Kansas University freshman basketball forward Cheick Diallo in Diallo’s eligibility case with the NCAA, said Wednesday that he is confident Diallo will play for the Jayhawks this season.

“I think his chances of playing for Kansas this year are excellent,” Alabamabased attorney Jackson said to Kansas City 610 Radio, acknowledging there are two components to this case — initial academic eligibility of Diallo as well as possible amateurism violations regarding Diallo’s legal guardian, Tidiane Drame.

“There’s no reason as to

why he wouldn’t (play in games). I think that’s almost a certainty. A timeline? That will be determined over the next day or so. Candidly, at a certain point, when it becomes quite clear that all administrative possibilities have been exhausted, then legal action becomes more of a possibility,” Jackson added.

Yes, Jackson may file a

lawsuit — if he has to — to get Diallo eligible. The Mali native has yet to be deemed academically fit to play by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

“My goal is always to resolve these issues administrative-first, because in order to get legal equitable relief you have to exhaust Please see HOOPS, page 4C Diallo

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Beaty believes freshmen are growing

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One of the most difficult things for college football coaches to do year in and year out is to find ways to spend time with their families during the grind of the season that keeps their attention from sun up well past sundown.

During a recent hangout session with his oldest daughter, Averie, first-year Kansas University football coach David Beaty found himself relating time with his teenager to an important aspect of his football team.

“She’s been driving for about seven months now,” Beaty began. “And the first time I got in the car with her, I was scared to death. I was pretty much convinced that

she did not see past the hood, and I needed one of t h o s e brakes.

Got in the Beaty car with her yesterday and it was amazing what that experience has done for her.... In my mind, it’s the same thing (with our team).”

Whether he’s talking about freshman cornerback Tyrone Miller’s sense of belonging in a secondary that faces some of the best offenses in the country, the development of freshman quarterback Ryan Willis, who started the season well behind KU’s first-string QB, or the proper technique employed by sophomore

receiver Darious Crawley on a deep ball against Texas, Beaty is recognizing progress week after week and starting to feel more comfortable with his young Jayhawks behind the wheel.

“Tyrone Miller (and I) were standing in the stretch lines and I said, ‘Hey, man, how much more comfortable do you feel now from the first snap you took against South Dakota State,’” Beaty said. “And he’s like, ‘Coach, I can’t even believe that I was out there.’”

Even though it was awhile ago, fifth-year senior Ben Goodman remembers the feeling well.

And although he often laughs when looking back at how little he actually knew during his first couple of years in the pro-

gram, the KU co-captain is doing his part to help this team grow even if the win total isn’t.

“Talking to Ben Goodman yesterday in leadership council, I said, ‘Look, tell these guys what it was like as a freshman until now,’” Beaty recalled.

“He was very eloquent in the way he said it. He said my first year I was trying to figure out what to do, figuring out how to do it.

Now, it’s how to attack them. I know what that tackle is doing now because his legs are further back. But he’s got a slight bend in his front knee.

Those things all tell you things. As a freshman, you don’t have the benefit of that experience.”

Goodman, who will be playing the 58th game in his KU career on Saturday at TCU, said his mes-

sage for the younger guys in that meeting was to use film study as much as possible to slow the game down.

“My freshman year, the game was going fast, fast, fast,” Goodman said. “But now I can line up and get a presnap read. I know if it’s a pass or a run. Most of the time it’s (KU cornerback) Brandon Stewart on my side, and I tell him if it’s a pass or not. Once you’ve been playing for a little bit, you notice little things that the young guys don’t notice.”

Little by little, some of these younger guys are starting to pick that up. That’s why defensive end Dorance Armstrong has been arguably KU’s best defensive player during the past few weeks. That’s why third-

string QB Keaton Perry, a red-shirt freshman who spelled an injured Willis in last week’s loss at Texas, checked out of the called play during his first live snap of the season. That’s why junior cornerback Marnez Ogletree, despite getting beat for an 84-yard touchdown on the first play of the game last week, kept his head up and finished the game with three tackles and a pass break-up.

“Everybody has to do their one-eleventh,” Beaty said. “And stuff’s starting to take hold. It really is. We’re kind of winding down towards the end of the season here, but, as coaches, we wish we had 10 more (games) right now. We need 10 more to close that gap.”

Lions’ Taylor signs with Northern Colorado softball

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

One day about 10 and a half years ago, Lawrence High senior softball player Sophie Taylor was playing catch with her father, Kyle Taylor, in her grandparents’ backyard when she decided to set forth on a journey.

“I remember this just like it was yesterday that she was looking at me and I was looking at her and she says, ‘Dad, I’m going to play softball in college,’” Kyle said.

After working with multiple coaches for countless hours to improve on different facets of the game, Sophie reached her destination more than a decade later, as she signed her national letter of intent to play softball at the University of Northern Colorado on Wednesday in the LHS library.

“There were a lot of bumps in the road. I really wouldn’t have gotten to this point without my coaches,” Sophie said.

Taylor signed a letter of intent to play softball at Northern Colorado. With Taylor, from left, are Maria Urban, Sami Mills, Megan Williams and Rhiannon Emerson.

“I remember telling my mom that I wanted to play at Northern Colorado and she kind of laughed at me because it is (NCAA Division I) and not many girls go D1 around here, so it’s

a big deal. But I worked hard, and I put myself in positions to succeed, and I’m here now.”

While the work to get to this point has been hard for Sophie, the de-

cision on where to play collegiately was easy because of Bears head coach Shana Easley and her staff.

“When I first met them and they started recruit-

FSHS swimmers Campbell, McCurdy ready to step up to the next level

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High seniors Cierra Campbell and Anna McCurdy have swam together for the past decade. On Wednesday, they celebrated one of their biggest swimming achievements alongside each other.

Campbell signed her letter of intent to swim with Indiana State University, and McCurdy signed with the University of Maine in the school’s multi-purpose room in front of family, friends and coaches.

“This is pretty surreal seeing all these people come out and support Cierra and I,” McCurdy said. “I’ve known Cierra since I was 6 or 7, so we’ve been swimming together for quite a while.

It’s pretty cool to be able to sign next to her and see how we’ve both grown and really developed as people and swimmers.

It’s pretty special.”

Campbell won state championships in the 200-yard freestyle, 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay last year, breaking state records in both of her relays. She added a second-place finish in the 500 freestyle, helping the Firebirds to their first team title since 2009.

She will join the Syca-

The Free State seniors signed letters of intent on Wednesday: McCurdy with Maine, and Campbell with Indiana State. mores for their inaugural season next year. The school announced it was adding a women’s swimming and diving program in October 2014.

“The coach is phenomenal,” said Campbell, who plans to major in business with a minor in textiles. “It’s a brand

new program and I just felt like I would be a real good fit and have an opportunity to grow as a leader, as a person and as an athlete. I just thought it was a perfect fit for me.”

Both of Campbell’s parents swam collegiately, and her brother, Canaan,

is a sophomore swimmer at Missouri State.

Her father, Clark, is the women’s swim coach at Kansas University.

Being familiar with the signing day process didn’t make the day any less emotional.

“It’s so exciting,” Campbell said. “It’s such a weight off of your shoulder. Definitely overwhelming right now.

Right now, it just feels like I’m getting older.”

McCurdy finished 13th at state in the 200 individual medley and seventh in the 500 freestyle last season. She decided last week that she was going to attend Maine after visiting the school in September.

“I knew I wanted a smaller Div. I school,” McCurdy said. “Then just visiting the campus … it was gorgeous. I really like the team and coaches. That just kind of sold it for me.”

With a few months until the start of their final high school swim season, McCurdy and Campbell were just happy to have their college choices finalized.

“You can enjoy senior year now,” McCurdy said. “I know where I’m going. Really just enjoy it before we both leave and go to new places and start our next journey.”

ing me, they were just switching colleges, and they weren’t allowed to tell me,” Sophie said. “So really it had nothing to do with the college itself at first, it was the coaches. I went on a visit in eighth grade, and I loved it.”

The LHS shortstop batted .580 with five home runs, six triples, 40 hits and 29 runs scored to earn first-team all-state honors in her junior campaign.

With LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton and several club coaches who have mentored Sophie on hand for the signing, they all shared aspects of the game where they have seen the Northern Colorado signee grow. And while Sophie gave thanks to her coaches, she has given back to them as well.

“Soph made me stop chewing tobacco,” Dave Meyer, who coached Sophie with the Kansas City Zephyrs, said. “For one, it became expense because I’d carry my chewing tobacco with me and hide it

at the games. She would start stealing it from me, but then I caught on and carried an extra can anyway so when she took mine, I had one. Kyle was telling me that he got into her bag one day and was really concerned because she had cans of chewing tobacco. She sent me a picture one day of my chewing tobacco, and on the back of it it talks about cancer and all of the different things like that, and she said, ‘you know how ugly you’re going to be if you have this?’”

Meyer has not dabbled with chewing tobacco for “two to three years now” because of Sophie’s persistence in telling him to stop. It’s the same persistence at practice, along with being an all-state player that made it a nobrainer for Tarbutton to select Sophie as a captain for her senior season.

“She has a keen eye for what can help other players get better,” Tarbutton said. “She’s not like, ‘I’m better than you are, but here’s what we can do.’”

BRIEFLY Dykes, Strauss sign letters

City players named all-league

Lawrence High seniors Caroline Dykes and Coulter Strauss both signed their letters of intent to play college sports on Wednesday.

Dykes signed to play volleyball at Missouri Science and Technology in the LHS cafeteria. A first-team AllSunflower League pick for the past two seasons, Dykes led the Lions in kills this year.

Strauss will play lacrosse at Lindenwood University, signing in a ceremony at his home. He plays lacrosse for Olathe East in the spring because the sport isn’t offered at LHS.

Several city volleyball players earned All-Sunflower League honors for their play this season.

Lawrence High senior Caroline Dykes and Free State junior Naomi Hickman were named to the first team.

Free State junior Payton Gannaway and freshman Rachel Hickman, along with LHS senior Kyleigh Severa, were secondteam selections.

FSHS seniors Allie Knapp and Natalie Clarke, and LHS sophomore Laurel Bird received an honorable mention.

of certain aspects of this investigation has not even been interviewed,” Jackson exclaimed.

“He has advised them he wants to be interviewed. They have not even interviewed him even though they apparently have drawn conclusions about his relationship with this young man without ever having spoken to him.”

Jackson said there is no concern about amateurism violations as Drame is Diallo’s legal guardian in the country of Mali.

“We have a gentleman who based on Mayan law is the legal guardian of this young man,” Jackson said. “Unless an athletic regulatory association somehow claims their internal legislation is superior to the legal system in a sovereign nation that ends that area of consideration.”

As far as the initial eligibility side of the case, Jackson is shocked the NCAA is reportedly looking into classes Diallo took in Mali as far back as the sixth grade. He said normally the cutoff is ninth grade.

Jackson called it an “intentional effort to delay and somewhat of a witchhunt.”

“If you don’t have coursework in your high school algebra class or 9th grade biology class or 10th grade geometry class (at Our Savior New American High in New York which Diallo attended three years) to satisfy them it was academically rigorous enough they’ll disallow that course as a core course. There’s been an element of that involved in this case,” Jackson said.

“This young man has been subjected to an exhaustive review that lasted for almost six months

on both of issues both on amateurism side and academic side. Candidly the vast majority of these cases end late August or early September. Quite often you’ll find cases that will linger into the season. Once that occurs it’s nothing more than a de-facto suspension which essentially the young man is serving right now.” l Good news on Greene: Brannen Greene, who missed Tuesday’s 89-66 exhibition victory over Fort Hays State because of discomfort and stiffness in his surgically repaired hip, practiced on Wednesday.

“He couldn’t go Tuesday and today he was 100 percent. It’s going to be like that for a while (as Greene continues recovery),” coach Bill Self said on his Hawk Talk radio show. l Lightfoot to sign today: Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound senior forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High, who orally committed to KUon Oct. 24, is expected to sign his letter-of-intent today, the second day of the week-long early signing period. Lightfoot, who is ranked No. 117 nationally by Rivals.com, did not sign Wednesday because school was not in session on the Veterans Day holiday. l Fox announcement today: De’Aaron Fox, a 6-3 senior point guard from Cypress Lakes High in Katy, Texas, who is ranked No. 5 nationally by Rivals.com, is expected to announce for Kentucky over KU, Louisville and LSU today on ESPNU’s Signing Day Special, to run from 5 to 6 p.m., Central time.

“One game up with State. TCU, which actually beat Texas, 3-0, four to play would have

been fun,” Bechard said.

“We’ve got to take care of our business and hope we get a little help. It’s not a position you want to be in. That’s where we’re at.”

all administrative possibilities of the young man being cleared,” Jackson said.

“At the same time the actions here as I see them at the moment ... these actions (of NCAA) appear to be quite illegal. In this situation, the manner in which this investigation has occurred and the manner in which a determination has been made on a statement of fact relative to young man’s legal guardian ... it clearly appears they (NCAA) have violated their own rules. How can you conduct a credible investigation and have a particular individual as a target of that investigation without ever having had any interaction with him?”

Jackson added.

Jackson is referring to the NCAA not having yet spoken with Diallo’s legal guardian, even though Drame has made it clear he’s ready and willing and able to be inteviewed.

“The fact of the matter is in cases where they can’t establish that a student-athlete has violated NCAA rules — where they can’t establish violations, they will intentionally drag cases out to essentially impose a defacto suspension. That is what is happening in this case,” Jackson said.

“They have not been able to establish a violation. As a result of that it serves their purpose to continue an investigation for an interminable amount of time and essentially force the student-athlete to serve a suspension. The young man’s legal guardian who is very much at the heart
