CLOCKWISE FROM TOP CENTER: Improvements have been proposed for Free State High School, pictured, and Lawrence High School; University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little’s replacement is expected to be announced by this summer; the proposal to expand the Douglas County Jail will be explored more thoroughly this year; the city will launch a nationwide search to replace outgoing Police Chief Tarik Khatib; a new strategic plan will be one of the big issues discussed at City Hall; and Gov. Sam Brownback is scheduled to give his State of the State address on Jan. 10.

Keep an eye out for these stories in 2017 Staff Reports

s the new year gets underway, our reporters take a look at what are promising to be some of the big stories of 2017 in the city, county, school district and Statehouse, as well as at the University of Kansas, and on the crime and courts beat.

City of Lawrence The city will hire a new police chief in the coming year. Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said he will step down as the department’s head this summer. Khatib has been with the Lawrence Police Department for more than 20 years and has served as chief since 2011. City Manager Tom Markus intends to Markus do a nationwide search to fill Khatib’s position.

The City Commission will create its first strategic plan, and in doing so will decide what it wants the city to look like in the future. As part of the strategic planning process, the commission will create specific, interrelated steps to arrive at that future. Those steps will be part of the city’s annual budget decisions. A process will also be in place to measure and assess progress related to the plan. The shortage of affordable housing in Douglas County has been classified as severe, and plans to address the issue will continue to move forward. The city has reinstated its affordable housing trust fund, and the City Commission added an affordable housing requirement to the economic development incentives policy in December. Review of affordable housing proposals related to residential incentives requests and of decisions regarding how funds in the trust will be used to create affordable

housing are in store for the coming year. East Ninth: The City Commission will decide on the scope of improvements to East Ninth Street. The concept design originally proposed for the multimillion-dollar project would have completely redone a seven-block stretch of the street, in addition to adding public artwork and other aesthetic features. Some commissioners, as well as East Lawrence residents, were opposed to the scale of the project, and it was not funded as part of annual budget decisions. — Rochelle Valverde

Douglas County Newly elected Douglas County Commissioner Michelle Derusseau said there is no rush to make decisions regarding the Douglas County Jail expansion and construction of a mental health crisis intervention center.

Topeka — Kansas Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer raised eyebrows on Dec. 15 when he took to Twitter and predicted the imminent demise of the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law also known as Obamacare. “Obamacare/Expansion will soon be dead. Time will bring clarity from D.C.,” Colyer said in part of Colyer the tweet. Colyer, a plastic surgeon by profession who has been Gov. Sam Brownback’s point person on health policy, drew jeers for that tweet, mostly from people and groups who commonly criticize the administration on Twitter.

Officials: Jail needs new pods to classify inmates By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

A feature left out as a cost-saving measure before construction started on the Douglas County Jail in 1999 now jeopardizes the key operating principle of “separating the sharks from the guppies,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Office correctional officials say. Jails are designed around classification systems, which house inmates in specific units, or pods, based on their risk levels. At the county jail, male inmates are housed in minimum-, medium- and maximum-security pods. Inmates are given different privileges and subjected to varying levels of supervision in the three classifications.

Justices to hear casino project case Pittsburg (ap) — The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments this month in a lawsuit involving a southeast Kansas casino. Oral arguments in the lawsuit over the Kansas Crossing Casino are scheduled to be held before the state Supreme Court on Jan. 25, The Pittsburg Morning Sun reported. The casino was awarded the Southeast Zone license, for the final of four state-owned casinos by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission in July of 2015. The project, including a casino and 120-room hotel, has been held up by a lawsuit filed by Cherokee County and investors in Castle Rock Casino that claimed the Kansas Gaming Facility Review Board didn’t follow state law when it chose Kansas Crossing over the much larger Castle Rock project. That proposal called for a $145 million casino in Cherokee County. Kansas Crossing was scheduled to be completed in June 2016, but the lawsuits have delayed the construction. In April, Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks deferred to the gaming commission’s judgment and rejected the Cherokee County argument that the state acted “arbitrarily, capriciously and otherwise unreasonably when they selected Kansas Crossing over Castle Rock.” Russell Jones, one of the attorneys for Castle Rock, said the appeal to the state supreme court is an “opportunity to put on evidence showing the decision ... should be reversed.”

Jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Because of the small population of female inmates at the time the jail was designed and built, there is just one catch-all pod for women. The key to placing inmates in the right risk units is a classification pod, where the newly incarcerated are observed for 72 hours before being assigned to the appropriate pod, said Gary Bunting, Douglas County undersheriff for corrections, and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Capt. Eric Spurling. Such a pod was in the current jail’s original designs but was eliminated as a cost-saving measure before construction started on the building that opened in 2001, Bunting said. The proposed $30 million, 120-bed county jail expansion would address that need by adding a 28bed male classification pod and 14-bed female pod. The expansion project, though, will require public financing, and likely will require some public convincing. Already some groups have expressed opposition to the idea, instead urging the county to focus more on reducing inmate totals and giving priority to building a mental health crisis intervention center, which the county also has proposed.

But in an interview with the Journal-World this past week, Colyer stood by the statement. “It’s pretty obvious that the House and the Senate and the President(-elect Donald Trump) have all said that they were elected to repeal Obamacare, and I take them at their word,” Colyer said. His tweet also appeared to some as a pointed message to many of the newly elected legislators who had campaigned saying they would support expanding the state’s Medicaid program, as allowed under the federal law. Colyer said he doesn’t see that as a realistic possibility. “I think it is unlikely that the Trump administration will expand Obamacare,” he said. “And even if he did, it would take a long time to get there. It doesn’t just happen overnight. That’s a couple-year process.”

Act’s obituary. “We don’t know for sure they’re going to repeal the ACA,” he said. “It’s probably going to happen, but (we) don’t know. And what its replacement looks like is anybody’s guess.” The hospital association and other health care groups in Kansas have supported expanding Medicaid, arguing that by not taking advantage of the law, Kansas hospitals and health care providers are losing out on potentially hundreds of millions of dollars a year in federal reimbursements. They also argue that rural hospitals that are already under financial strain are hurt the most.

About this story This is the final story in a series exploring the needs Douglas County Sheriff’s Office officials say are driving the proposed $30 million expansion of the Douglas County Jail. This year, the Journal World will continue to explore issues driving proposed Douglas County Jail expansion, the county’s programs to divert inmates from the jail and the views of those opposed to the expansion. Without a classification pod, as many as 15 newly incarcerated male inmates are placed in the 56-bed medium-security pod for the 72-hour observation period, Spurling said. It’s an unsatisfactory arrangement because the “pre-class” inmates are kept separated from the medium-security inmates with whom they share the pod. Because preclass inmates must stay in their cells while medium-security inmates enjoy time in the day room, correctional staff has less time to observe behaviors used to make security level assessments, such as interactions with other inmates and correctional officials. “We’re getting jammed now because we have to do the pre-class in the

“That’s what the (incoming) administration has said,” he said. “Now, what that block grant looks like is unclear. And we need the time to see how that turns out.” Currently, most states operate their Medicaid programs on a fee-forservice basis. Like other insurance programs, they pay health care providers a set fee for each office visit, procedure, surgery or prescription medication. The cost is split between the state and federal governments, using a formula that’s tied to the poverty rate in each state. But some states, including Kansas, have switched to a “managed care” model for Medicaid. In Kansas, the state hires private companies, known as managed care organizations or MCOs, and pays them a flat annual fee for each patient to manage that patient’s medical needs. Kansas had a similar system in place for children and families in Medicaid long before Brownback and Colyer were elected. Under KanCare, though, that model was extended to the two categories of patients that have the costliest and most unpredictable health care needs: the elderly and disabled. Colyer was the chief architect of that plan. “Everybody said, what we really need to do is have people see their doctor more, visit the ER less and spend less time in the hospital,” he said. “KanCare is the first integrated Medicaid program to actually accomplish that for the 24 percent who are elderly and disabled, but also for the general population. The number of doctor visits are up, the number of ER visits are down, but our hospital days are down 24 percent.” Because of that, Colyer said, Kansas would be in a good position to make the transition to a block grant funding system for Medicaid, whatever that may look like. “I think the bottom line is, there are going to be a lot of changes that are happening

medium housing unit,” Spurling said. “It limits the amount of free time we can observe the preclass inmates because they are in such a large housing unit.” The current arrangement also infringes on the privileges of the mediumsecurity inmates, Spurling said. “During the day, we have to stop and lock everybody back up in medium and let the pre-class out, even if it’s only two hours a day,” he said. As with many issues at the jail, the classification concerns become more acute with the female population because there is only one female pod for all security levels. Adding the pre-class inmates to the crowded and mixed population curtails the already limited outsidethe-cell time female inmates are allowed, Spurling said. Adequate observation time is important for the inmates’ well-being, too, Spurling said. Signs of mental health crisis often manifest in the first 72 hours, and it is a time when the threat of suicide attempts is heightened as inmates adjust to incarceration while perhaps dealing with drug

withdrawal or hangovers. With both men and women, the lack of a classification pod contributes to the jail’s overall overcrowding and the need to transfer inmates to jails in other counties (at a cost of $1 million in 2016), Spurling said. Pre-class inmates do not have roommates, meaning they can displace two medium-security inmates, he said. Those displaced inmates are either transferred to other counties or get a “downward classification” to minimum security. At the same time, lack of cells in the maximumsecurity pod forces correctional officials to classify some inmates downward to the medium-security pod. “The classification system has a hard time functioning when we are overcrowded,” Spurling said. “Classification becomes less a factor, and we start housing people where we have space.” The proposed jail expansion plan would also make ground-floor alterations that Bunting and Spurling said would increase the jail’s efficiency and safety. The proposed design would build a new sally port, an enclosed drive-thru area

Other health care initiatives this year Besides waiting to see what happens in Washington with the Affordable Care Act, Colyer said the administration hopes to move ahead on other health care initiatives this year. “One of the things the governor asked for (in his 2016 State of the State address) was to have a rural health care task force,” he said. “That task force met and they’ve made a lot of recommendations. We’ve just seen a lot of ideas that are out there.” The first priority, he said, will be to restore the 4 percent cut in reimbursement rates paid to Medicaid providers. That cut, estimated to save $38.2 million, was part of the $97 million in allotment cuts Brownback ordered in May to balance the state budget. Another, he said, will be to address the shortage of health care providers in many rural parts of Kansas, possibly by expanding residency programs or opening new ones in rural communities. “People are more likely to stay and serve in Kansas if they do their residency training here,” Colyer said. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222.

in which inmates enter and leave the jail, off the existing one. On busy weekend nights, it is not unusual for law enforcement officers to become stacked up in the existing sally port, trapping police vehicles as their drivers wait for officers parked in front and behind to finish their business. “Those officers stuck in the middle will get calls they need to respond to in the city or out in the county,” Bunting said. “We’re looking to have angle parking. There will still be times when cars will be waiting outside. But once inside, they will be able to leave at any time.” The plans also would swap the locations of the jail’s current medical bay, which is now usually full, and booking area, so that the sally port would enter directly into booking with the latter unit expanding into the existing sally port. The proposed design would allow more beds in the medical unit and more temporary holding cells in booking. The design also would provide an area with computer stations where law enforcement officers could complete necessary processing on arrests before heading back to the street, Bunting said. “It will enhance the safety of the facility and the community,” he said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

KU student expelled for harassment appeals to higher federal court By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

A University of Kansas student once expelled for sexual harassment — including referencing his ex-girlfriend on Twitter — is appealing his federal lawsuit against a KU administrator. Navid Yeasin last week filed a notice to appeal to the U.S.

Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Earlier this month, a U.S. District Court judge in Kansas City, Kan., dismissed Yeasin’s lawsuit seeking more than $100,000 in damages from KU Vice Provost for Student Affairs Tammara Durham. “As a result of KU’s wrongful expulsion of Yeasin, he has suffered damages in the form of delay in completing his education,

lost employment and wages, emotional distress and mental anguish, attorney fees and litigation costs,” his lawsuit said. Free speech advocates are watching the case, because it involves the still-fuzzy constitutional question of whether universities are allowed to discipline students for things they say on social media. After spending more than

two years expelled while battling his case in county and state courts, Yeasin is now reenrolled at KU, according to the university’s directory. KU expelled Yeasin in fall 2013 and banned him from campus for nonacademic misconduct. A KU investigation found that Yeasin sexually harassed his ex-girlfriend, also a KU student, during an incident in Johnson

Wichita prosecutor retires after 30-plus years Wichita (ap) — A Kansas prosecutor who helped send some of Wichita’s most notorious criminals to prison or death row is retiring after more than three decades.

She also helped secure a conviction against Scott Roeder, who admitted to killing abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in 2009 inside Tiller’s Wichita church. Parker persuaded a jury to give death sentences to Jonathan and Reginald Carr, who were convicted of sexually assault, robbing and fatally shooting five people in a snowy field as part of a multiday rampage in December 2000.

IN THIS AP FILE PHOTO FROM JAN. 29, 2010, then-Deputy District Attorney Kim Parker glares at defendant Scott Roeder during closing arguments in Roeder’s first degree murder trial. Roeder was accused of killing abortion provider George Tiller. Parker is retiring after more than three decades of work that included prosecuting some of Wichita’s most notorious criminals, such as Roeder and the BTK serial killer.

legal life. And then you get a little bit of the stage life — you know, that ability to work up a case and present it in a way that is understandable and effective,” Parker said. “And that’s interesting. It’s exciting.”

Cami’s Cakes reopens sans morning coffee; Baldwin Senior Mix no more Area C Roundup

Team leader Riley Sprunger, of Inman, now a first-year aerospace engineering master’s student at KU, said the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics invited the team to present its design to industry professionals at the Institute’s national SciTech Forum Jan. 9-13 in Grapevine, Texas. He’s “a little nervous about it,” though the team isn’t exactly pressured to sell its design, Sprunger said. He’s never heard of a college aerospace design actually being manufactured, though the Screamin’ Dingo is designed to fly if it were built as specified. The team did calculations to verify that, as well as how much it would cost to produce such a plane: $95,000. Part of their homework also involved talking to numerous aerobatic pilots to learn what they liked and what features would help the plane be marketable. “We wanted it to be something that you wouldn’t necessarily have to go out and purchase. You can build this aircraft at home if you want to, or you can have the manufacturer build

The team worked on the design together throughout the spring 2016 semester, communicating with their Australian teammates via Skype and submitting the design specifications and renderings electronically. They found out they’d won later in the year.

Sprunger said the process itself was a learning experience. “It definitely opened my eyes into just how much work goes into designing a plane, and it also showed me how many different fields you have to touch on,” he said. “We didn’t know a whole lot about engine selection, marketing or doing a financial plan for the aircraft ... it gives us a lot more depth into things that are beyond the engineering aspect.” The combined team was created with the help of KU aerospace engineering professor Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, a longtime friend of Cees Bil, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology faculty member who advised the Australian team. “In this electronicized age, collaborating around the world is not prohibitively difficult,” Barrett-Gonzalez said, in a news release. “It’s a great introduction to how their working lives will be — there’s no such thing as a purely domestic airplane company anymore. They’re all at least partly international.” — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187. Follow her on Twitter: @saramarieshep

a judge ruled KU overstepped its jurisdiction — according to its student code at the time — and must reinstate him. KU appealed to the Kansas Court of Appeals, which in September 2015 affirmed the lower court’s ruling. Yeasin filed the lawsuit asking for financial damages first in county court, and it was moved to federal court in January 2016. On Dec. 1, Judge Julie Robinson dismissed the suit. Robinson ruled that Durham is entitled to qualified immunity, which protects government officials from liability for civil damages unless they violated the defendant’s “clearly established” constitutional rights. In her dismissal, Robinson did not state an opinion about whether online speech by students should be protected by the First Amendment, as Yeasin argued, but said the question remains legally unclear without analogous rulings by higher courts. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187.

High hopes for a new year It doesn’t hurt to dream, and maybe at least a few dreams will be realized in 2017.

ope springs eternal, and never is there more hope than at the dawn of a new year. As the calendar turns to 2017, all goals are still in reach, all resolutions intact. So while optimism still brims, let’s put forth a wish list for the year ahead. Here’s hoping that Donald Trump, the least partisan president elected in more than a century, can parlay his independent-mindedness and lack of political indebtedness into leadership that finally breaks the gridlock that has plagued Congress for so long. Trump loves to ballyhoo his deal-making skills and he’ll certainly need them in Washington. But we’ll all be better off if he succeeds. Here’s hoping Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to fix the state’s budget, set to be unveiled Jan. 11, really can close a $932 million gap without massive spending cuts, tax increases or state employee furloughs, as Lt. Gov. Jeff As an insurance Colyer claims. It’s easy to be skeptipolicy against cal — not many the Brownback of the Brownback administration’s plan, let’s hope fiscal projecthe legislative tions have come leadership to pass — but on follows through the first day of the on its pledge to new year, one can dream. fix the budget, As an insurance even if it means policy against the Brownback plan, amending the let’s hope the legsteep tax cuts leadership implemented in islative follows through 2012 and 2013. on its pledge to fix the budget, even if it means amending the steep tax cuts implemented in 2012 and 2013. Senate President Susan Wagle said in October that she and other legislators have heard voters and understand their frustration. She said “everything is on the table” when it comes to fixing the budget this session. For Kansas’ sake, let’s hope Wagle and her fellow legislators follow through on that promise. The city of Lawrence enjoyed low unemployment, steady retail sales tax growth, a healthy housing market and beneficial development in 2016. Here’s hoping that the Lawrence City Commission remains cognizant of that economic health and implements policies to sustain and enhance it. Here’s hoping that the Board of Regents can identify and hire a dynamic professional to replace University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little this summer and lead the university to even greater heights. Hiring a new chancellor is a critical decision that matters greatly not only to the university but also to the community of Lawrence. Here’s hoping regents make the right call. Speaking of KU, here’s hoping the Jayhawk football team continues its progress under Coach David Beaty and gets back to a bowl in 2017. Here’s hoping Coach Ray Bechard’s volleyball team makes another run in the NCAA tournament. Finally, here’s hoping for a 13th consecutive Big 12 title, Final Four appearance and, what the heck, another national championship for Coach Bill Self and the men’s basketball team. Finally, here’s hoping for a happy, healthy and prosperous year for everyone in Lawrence, Douglas County and the state of Kansas.

Good riddance, finally, to 2016 Washington — Viewing 2016 in retrospect — doing so is unpleasant, but less so than was living through it — the year resembles a china shop after a visit from an especially maladroit bull. Because a law says “the state of California may not sell or display the Battle Flag of the Confederacy ... or any similar image,” a painting of the 1864 Siege of Atlanta was banned from display at the Fresno County fair. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services churned out a 25-page policy statement about “the systematic inclusion of families in activities and programs that promote children’s development, learning, and wellness.” That is, government should provide, as an act of grace — systematic grace — a role for parents in raising their children. Let freedom ring, in the nooks and crannies of the administrative state: One day a year — Lemonade Day — children in Austin, Texas, can sell the stuff without spending $460 on various fees, licenses and permits. Twelve-year olds in a Tampa middle school, learning about “how much privilege” they have, were asked if they were “Cisgendered,” “Transgendered” or “Genderqueer.” Two years after Emma was the most common name given to baby American girls, the trend was toward supposedly gender-neutral baby names (e.g., Lincoln, Max, Arlo) lest the child feel enslaved to stereotypes.

It was splendidly appropriate that when Cuba buried the architect of its ramshackle socialism, the vehicle carrying Castro’s ashes broke down and had to be pushed by soldiers.” police officer interrogated her 9-year-old son after he was suspected of a racial slur when he talked about brownies, the baked good. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission pondered whether a worker committed racial harassment by wearing a cap emblazoned with the Gadsden flag (depicting a coiled rattlesnake, with the words “Don’t Tread on Me”). A University of Iowa professor complained that the Hawkeyes’ mascot Herky, a fierce bird, is “conveying an invitation to aggressivity and even violence” that is discordant with the “all accepting, nondiscriminatory messages we are trying to convey.” As Presidents Day approached, San Diego advised city workers to use “bias-

free language” by avoiding the phrase “Founding Fathers.” A National Park Service employee giving guided tours to Independence Hall in Philadelphia told tourists that the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were produced by “class elites who were just out to protect their privileged status.” The employee praised herself for her “bravery.” The NBA, which plays preseason games in China, home of forced abortions and organ harvests, moved its 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte because of North Carolina’s law stipulating that transgender individuals should use bathrooms appropriate to their physiology. At Washington’s refurbished Watergate Hotel, the message on room key cards reads “No Need to Break In.” The New York Times reported the downside of humanity’s mastery of fire: “Figuring out how to make fire was no doubt an evolutionary boon to our ancestors. But it may have led to our smoking habit.” Facing a budget shortfall in 2010, New York’s Legislature raised the cigarette tax $1.60 to $4.35 per pack, expecting, illogically, that it would discourage smoking and raise $290 million annually. By 2016, cigarette revenues had fallen 25 percent and smuggled cigarettes held 58 percent of the New York market. By 2016, six years after the president’s wife agitated for federal guidelines limiting sodium, sugar, fats and calo-

A tweet with the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama said, “The first lady can have a personal chef, but I can’t have two packets of ketchup?” After Connecticut imposed its fifth tax increase since 2011, General Electric moved its headquarters from there to Boston. CKE Restaurants includes the Carl’s Jr. chain, which was founded in California and ignited the fast-food industry. CKE announced that it was moving its headquarters from California (highest income tax rate: 13 percent) to Tennessee (highest income tax rate: zero). Congress considered bills to prevent the IRS from hiring or retaining people delinquent in their tax payments. Unions in New York and California lobbied for exemption from the $15 minimum wage they lobbied for. It was splendidly appropriate that when Cuba buried the architect of its ramshackle socialism, the vehicle carrying Castro’s ashes broke down and had to be pushed by soldiers. “Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand” were not lyrics that many Americans sang about either presidential candidate, but one of them had to win, so as you steel yourself for 2017, remember H.L. Mencken’s timeless wisdom: A martini is “the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet.” — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Jan. 1, 1942, 26 countries, including the United States, signed the Declaration of the United Nations, pledging “not to make a separate armistice or peace” with members of the Axis. l In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.” l In 1913, the U.S. Parcel Post system went into operation. l In 1959, Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries overthrew Cuban leader Fulgencio Batista, who fled to the Dominican Republic. l In 1984, the breakup of AT&T took place as the telecommunications giant was divested of its 22 Bell System companies under terms of an antitrust agreement.

King Henry VIII pays us a royal visit It’s a good thing to be king, holding court high in a gold tower. And the 45th American president, Donald Trump, reminds me of one English Tudor king, known for his reddish hair, huge body heft, six wives of various nationalities and, um, forceful personality. Trump is like King Henry VIII revived — without the charm the early Henry famously had. But there are parallels: Henry had France across the water to warily watch, and of course, Trump has Vladimir Putin’s Russia and his reckless wish to start a nuclear arms race. Is he going to make an enemy out of a friend before he takes office? One difference, however, is that Henry set sail to lead his men in battle. That’s what kings did. The history major in me feels compelled to note this male bonding over the span of five centuries and a mighty ocean. Let’s get used to it. Donald Trump behaves much like the first American king. With his mean-spirited tweets, threats and contradictions of U.S. policy as

Jamie Stiehm president-elect, he’s messaging to the American people that there will be no limits as ruler. What about losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes? No problem! We will all be his subjects, forced to endure outrages at all hours as he tweets from his tower — and when he deigns, the White House. Trump resembles King Henry VIII in his ferocity and willingness to follow his whims wherever they go. Once the 6 foot 2 inch Henry cut a fine figure on a horse hunting a hart. Can the same be said of Trump on a golf course? (Let’s not answer that.) Henry also was a lover and player of music, even a composer. Enchanting poetry wafted through the halls of his

court, notably that of Sir Thomas Wyatt, author of “To His Coy Mistress.” Our man has neither poetry nor music to compensate for his rough edges. A real Renaissance man in his time and prime, Henry VIII is characterized as a “supreme egoist” by the Columbia Encyclopedia. He did pretty much as he pleased, in epic proportions. To marry the clever, witty, beautiful Anne Boleyn, he defied the pope’s decree to keep his marriage vows to the Spanish Catherine of Aragon, setting off the Protestant Reformation. In my book, headstrong Henry gets credit for breaking with Rome. But as the same source tells us: “He advanced personal desires under the guise of public policy.” Practicing personal desires and goals in public policy: Would Trump ever do such a thing? My fear is, that’s all he knows. Pursuing his own enrichment, power and glory is all that he’s ever done. Public service is a whole new concept.

Henry had two queens arrested and beheaded in the Tower of London. It was not right or just, but he was king. To show women he wasn’t all bad, he educated his daughter Elizabeth so she was ready to take the crown when he died — morbidly obese and mad — at age 55. Perhaps the most intriguing parallel is that both the once and future monarchs had a daughter that mattered greatly. Trump is already treating his two sons and son-in-law like princes with security clearances to the court and his personal treasure. Yet he proudly lavishes the most attention and responsibility on his daughter Ivanka, as if grooming her for leadership on the national stage. Sure, Ivanka is no Elizabeth; Elizabethan England still shines as a golden age. But she’s not as bad as her dad. “King” used to be a hated word, for Thomas Jefferson and other founders of our democracy. But the times, they are a-changin’. Short may Trump reign. — Jamie Stiehm is a columnist with Creators Syndicate.

WASHINGTON Suicide — not combat — is the leading killer of U.S. troops deployed to the Middle East to fight Islamic State militants, according to newly released Pentagon statistics.

Could Twitter be finally adding an edit button? In new tweets from CEO Jack Dorsey, the answer might be yes. After asking users what they would want to see Twitter add or improve on in 2017 (borrowing the idea from Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky), the co-founder of the

popular social network was inundated with requests to allow people to edit their tweets. And judging by his response, the function might be on the way. “Following in the footsteps of Brian Chesky: what’s the most important thing you want to see Twitter improve or create in 2017? #Twitter2017,” tweeted Dorsey in the initial appeal to his nearly 4 million followers.

Dorsey is aware of the power of his platform, noting in one reply that Twitter is “oft the public record.” Rival platforms Facebook and Instagram both offer the ability to edit content after it’s been posted. Twitter was not immediately available for comment. In addition to requests to edit tweets, Dorsey also pitched to add better control for dealing with trolls, removing bots and improving how conversations appear.

No ‘single cause’ in troops’ high suicide rate v CONTINUED FROM 1B

been exceptionally lethal. The military estimates bombs and missiles fired by warplanes and drones have killed 50,000 ISIL fighters. Thousands of American troops have deployed to train and assist Iraq’s army, and thousands more have been sent to provide security, launch artillery barrages and perform logistics duties. Few of them have come under direct attack. Several hundred more U.S. commandos are on the ground in Iraq and Syria, conducting raids to capture or kill ISIL leaders and assist local fighters.

New chief António Guterres’ checklist

4 things you need to know about U.N.’s 9th secretary-general Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

Portuguese diplomat António Guterres, 67, succeeds Ban Kimoon as United Nations secretary-general on Sunday. Key intel: HE BACKS GENDER PARITY

Before Guterres’ election, the U.N. considered giving its top job to a woman for the first time. A former prime minister of Portugal, Guterres has said “gender parity” is key for the organization to thrive. In mid-December, Guterres announced he will appoint Nigeria’s environment minister, Amina Mohammed, as his deputy and Brazil’s Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti as his chief of staff. A senior policy adviser role will be given to Kyung-wha Kang of South Korea. In 2016, 33 of the U.N.’s 46 senior roles were held by men, according to the Global Peace Operations Review.

Some of those missions have been deadly. On Oct. 22, 2015, Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, a member of the Army’s superelite Delta Force, was killed by gunfire as he helped free 70 prisoners from an ISIL prison in northern Iraq. The largest loss of life in a single incident in the war against ISIL didn’t take place in Iraq or Syria. It occurred in Jordan on Nov. 4, when three Special Forces soldiers were shot by a guard as they tried to enter an air base. The American commandos were training local forces to fight ISIL militants. Their shooting deaths remain under investigation.

The most casualties in a single attack occurred early last year when rockets fired by ISIL fighters targeted a Marine artillery base in northern Iraq. The attack on March 19 killed Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin and wounded eight others. All of them received Purple Heart medals, according to the Navy. By far, 2016 has been the most dangerous for U.S. forces since the war began. Seven of the eight combat deaths occurred in 2016, and 21 of the 26 troops wounded in action suffered their injuries this year. But the military’s suicide problem continues. From 2001 to 2010, the rate of

suicide in the military doubled, Ramchand said. The chief spike occurred around 2005 when fighting and combat deaths soared in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Army shouldered most of the war’s burden. The Army still has the highest percentage among the services for suicide, according to the Pentagon’s latest figures. Of the 269 active-duty troops who took their own lives in 2014, 122 were soldiers, or about 45%. As a whole, the military’s rate of suicide of about 20 per 100,000 troops in 2014 was comparable to the same civilian population. Retired general Peter Chiarel-

li made suicide prevention a top priority when he was the Army’s No. 2 officer as vice chief of staff from 2008 to 2012. He expressed frustration with the failure to drive down the rate of military and civilian suicides. He called for a research effort, similar to the comprehensive initiative to attack HIV/AIDS, focusing on changes in the brain caused by depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. That will require focused leadership from the Pentagon and Congress and the development of new drugs. “This really is an illness,” Chiarelli said. “It’s not because you’re weak.”

Successes, failures mark U.N. chief’s term Victories include Paris climate accord, but peace remains elusive Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The 10-year tenure of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon ended Saturday with one last duty — pushing the button to lower the famed New Year’s Eve ball over Times Square to welcome in 2017. Ban, a South Korean, became the eighth person to hold the United Nations leadership role in January 2007, when he replaced Kofi Annan, a diplomat from Ghana. In 2011, Ban was elected to a second term. He will be replaced by António Guterres of Portugal on Sunday. “I have been trying during the last 10 years, devoting all my time, passion and energy. But frankly speaking, realistically, I may have to leave many things unfulfilled,” Ban said last month. “We needed to have much more sense of unity, much more global solidarity and compassion, but we have not been able to see this.” These are some of Ban’s most important accomplishments — and failures — during his leadership: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Antonio Guterres, 67, is a proponent of women, peacemaking and partnerships. HE’S EAGER TO MEET TRUMP

President-elect Donald Trump has called for major changes at the U.N., which he said is “not living up to its potential.” Guterres said last week that it is “certainly in my interest to visit (Trump) as soon as possible.” Meeting with Trump takes on added significance after the president-elect condemned the U.N. Security Council resolution criticizing Israeli settlements on land claimed by Palestinians. HE’S DONE REFUGEE WORK

Guterres spent a decade as the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees and oversaw the most profound overhaul in the refugee agency’s history. He led the U.N. response to Syria’s civil war, the European migration crisis, the 2014 conflict in eastern Ukraine between separatists and the national government, the Gaza conflict with Israel in 2009 and the aftermath of natural disasters, including the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 250,000. “He’s not a quiet voice,” said Peter Yeo, president of Better World Campaign. HE IS A PEACE SEEKER

Guterres said his priority at the U.N. will be a “surge in diplomacy for peace.” To achieve that, he aims to foster a “culture of prevention.” He wants the U.N. to act as an “honest broker, bridgebuilder and messenger for peace.” Contributing: Oren Dorell

The U.N. credits Ban with putting sustainable development at the forefront of the global agenda, starting with the 2007 Climate Change Summit and “extensive diplomatic efforts.” The Millennium Development Goals, which focused on reducing poverty between 2000 and 2015, attracted more than $60 billion in pledges from governments, businesses and others, according to the U.N. In September 2015, the U.N. General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which aims to tackle poverty, inequality and climate change. PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

China and the United States, the world’s two largest carbon emitters, joined 193 other countries in adopting the first universal, legally binding global climate agreement. The Paris treaty, which went into force on Nov. 4, aims to stop climate change by limiting a rise in global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). “When this year ends, I hope we can all look back with pride, knowing that, together, we seized the opportunity to act for the common good, for a sustainable future and the protection of our common home,” Ban said in September. U.N. WOMEN

Created by the General Assembly in 2010, U.N. Women aims to eliminate discrimination against women and girls, empower women and achieve equality between the sexes. “Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society,” the organization says on its website. Ban is credited with increasing the number of women in U.N. senior management by more than 40%. However U.N. Women recently provoked ire for naming the comic book character Wonder Woman as an ambassador for nearly

two months that ended in December. Critics, including more than 44,000 people who signed a petition decrying the appointment, wanted an actual woman to have the role. ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN PEACE

Peace between Israel and the Palestinians is still a distant prospect as Ban exits. On International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in November, Ban warned that hopes were fading for a two-state peace agreement, which calls for an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. He warned both sides that “without urgent steps to revive a political perspective, they risk entrenching a one-state reality.” On Dec. 23, the U.N. Security Council voted 14-0 for a resolution condemning Israeli settlements on land Palestinians claim for their state, as well as Palestinian attacks on Israelis. Instead of vetoing the resolution, the Obama administration abstained so it would pass, infuriating the Israeli government and President-elect Donald Trump. SYRIA’S CIVIL WAR

Last year, Ban admitted the Security Council was failing Syria because of divisions among member nations looking out for their own

interests. In September, he told the General Assembly that “powerful patrons” on both sides of the nearly 6-year-old war “have blood on their hands.” He failed to speak out strongly against atrocities committed early in the war and has not rebuked Russia for resuming airstrikes during a temporary cease-fire that targeted hospitals and aid convoys. “I’m not here to make any determinations on who is wrong or who is right,” he said in an October interview with German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle. U.N. PEACEKEEPER SEX ABUSE

Numerous allegations of rape and sexual abuse by U.N. peacekeepers have surfaced in such countries as Haiti, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Last year, there were 99 allegations of abuse. “For 10 years, the secretarygeneral has been happy to sweep all of these allegations under the carpet,” former U.N. investigator Peter Gallo told Bloomberg News. Ban’s spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, disputed Gallo’s comments and said the secretary-general was “shocked to the core” about the abuse. Announcing an investigation in March into such allegations in CAR, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said the inquiry “must leave no stone unturned.” Prosecutions are carried out by the countries that contribute the peacekeeping troops under U.N. rules.

Nov. 20 is forever a dark day v CONTINUED FROM 1B

‘AT LEAST LET THIS GIRL TAKE A SWEATER’

“It was the destiny of the Soviet Union to disappear,” Lyudmila Khachatryan said a quarter-century later as she sat in the living room of her drab Sovietera concrete apartment. “I miss nothing from this time.” Khachatryan was 18 when she was arrested on the doorstep of her family home on the Raushskaya Embankment near Red Square. She has documents about her captivity, and the Gulag History Museum has recorded 25 hours of her testimony. Many details cannot be confirmed, but old photos and a still sharp memory tell the story. Born on New Year’s Eve in 1929 to a wealthy military family, Khachatryan was a lively girl. She did well in school. But she had a contrarian streak that often got her in trouble. “My mother was always saying to me: ‘Why do I get so much hassle and grief from you when other children I know are not nearly as naughty? Why, child?’ ” At age 8, she stole money from her mother’s purse to buy a statue of Lenin to bring to school. Khachatryan’s teacher had asked her to buy the statue, but her parents had refused on principle. They hated the Communist Party. “They were more mad that I had bought a statue of Lenin than that I was a thief,” she said of the porcelain statue that portrayed Lenin with a full head of dark, curly hair. Most likenesses show him bald. When her parents discovered what she had done, they whipped her with a belt. “After that, I never stole anything again,” she said. Ten years later, she committed a crime that only the oppressive Soviet system would recognize and punish her for by sending her to the Gulag: “What was I guilty of? I can say it in one word: love.” Love of a foreigner. He was a military officer from Montenegro, at the time part of Soviet ally Yugoslavia. They had met by chance at a medical clinic. She was 17. He was a few years older and had come to Russia to study at one of its prestigious military academies. For several months, they met surreptitiously by the banks of the Moskva River in central Moscow. He regaled her with dramatic stories of Red Army battlefield victories and boasted that he had been personally selected by Yugoslav leader Josip Tito to get a Soviet education. She wore her mother’s makeup, and on one occasion, it smeared. A gentleman, he mentioned it only once. “It was one of the last times I saw him. We had just said goodbye, and he turned and said over his shoulder, ‘As soon as you get home, please look in the mirror, and never do the same again.’ So I ran home, over the bridge, entered the house, and because we had a lot of mirrors in the hall, I immediately saw what he meant. There were black dots all over my face from the mascara. It had been snowing.” They married in secret. Because of her age — at 17, Khachatryan was too young, according to Soviet law — the union was formalized by the Yugoslav ambassador in the embassy. In Yugoslavia, the legal marriage age was 16. “I had no plans to tell my mother,” she said. “Of course, she found out about it later.” Around this time, the relationship between Stalin and Tito began to sour. Soon, there was a split. Yugoslav nationals, including Khachatryan’s new husband, were deported. Anyone who had communicated with foreigners was rounded up and detained. Khachatryan was one of them. “There was no way to reach him. He was simply gone,” she said. “When the NKVD (later KGB) came to arrest me, they told my mother they would bring me back home that same evening. It was near Artillery Day (which commemorates the Battle of Stalingrad against Nazi Germany), and because my father was an officer, it was an important time for us,” she said. “They didn’t even let me take any warm clothes with me. My mother said, ‘At least let this girl take a sweater,’ but they told her, MOSCOW

PHOTOS BY KIM HJELMGAARD, USA TODAY

Gulag survivor Lyudmila Khachatryan says a contrarian streak often got her in trouble.

This is the only existing picture of Lyudmila Khachatryan and her first husband, “the Yugoslav.” ‘No, no, don’t worry we’ll bring her back in the evening.’ “We were about to go to a party to celebrate the holiday. My mother was wearing the most beautiful dress, and my father was in his full military uniform. I am glad I decided to take my mother’s advice.” She brought the sweater. It would prove useful. She would be away nearly seven years. After her arrest, Khachatryan was taken to Moscow’s Lefortova prison, where she was interrogated. “They removed all my clothes. And in all my holes, they put their fingers,” she said. “It’s a terrible sin. But the most horrible thing that occurred to me at this point was that I would never see my parents again. “I don’t remember if they washed me or let me wash before putting me in the cell. You could not bring anything metal in there. They cut out two zippers from my dress. All my underwear and the metal bits on my bra — they took those. They even cut out my initials from my handkerchief. “They took pictures of me because I was shedding so many tears. It was like a game to them. The ceiling of the cell was painted a brilliant-white color whereas the walls were very dark green, and it gave this very visual sense of having pressure constantly exerted on you. The walls closed in on you.” LIVING A NIGHTMARE

For Khachatryan, there was no trial. Only a verdict. “My sentencing was done by a real Soviet-Communist type. Big. Fat. He said, ‘Lyudmila Alekseevna Khachatryan!: In the name of the Soviet Union, blah blah blah, after members of the NKVD, blah blah blah. You have been given a term of work in the camps of eight years!’ I started to shout at him,

then realized a girl next to me had received 15 years. I had gotten off lightly.” She had been in Moscow’s Lefortova prison for three months. The next day, she was put on a train bound for the Soviet Union’s northernmost reaches, to an area that appeared to her to be filled with wooden churches. It was the Kargopol-lag camp in the Arkhangelsk region — the Russian Arctic. Here, it was not unusual for winter temperatures to plummet to 49 degrees below zero and to stay there for weeks. What looked like wooden churches turned out to be some of the many structures that formed part of the vast camp. Anne Applebaum, whose book Gulag: A History won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, wrote that some of these camps had grown from “containing nothing more than a few huts and some barbed wire (to) become true industrial giants.” The largest housed nearly 200,000 prisoners. Applebaum estimates that Kargopol-lag, a forestry camp, was home to about 30,000 prisoners.

tained but had no idea where. A fellow inmate whose five-year term was coming to an end agreed to smuggle out the missive. It was an extraordinarily courageous act considering discovery could have meant re-imprisonment or even a charge of collaboration, resulting in execution by firing squad. Stalin personally signed off on these death lists, the Gulag museum said. The letter probably saved her life. Within a few weeks, Khachatryan’s father appeared at the camp. A second piece of luck would prove equally decisive. Her father and the camp’s chief warden had served together under the same general in World War II. Although they did not know each other at the time, it was a sufficient excuse to share a bottle of brandy. The two men drank late into the evening. Before dawn, Khachatryan’s father came to her cell. Still drunk, he told his daughter, “Your fate has been decided. You will work in the camp’s theater.” Although Khachatryan had no formal experience as a performer,

“It was so cold, and the blanket in the cell was thin. Sometimes they would wake me every 15 minutes. I was happy I brought the sweater. ” Lyudmila Khachatryan

Khachatryan was quarantined for two weeks so camp officials could assess her health and fitness. By day, she was put to work cleaning and re-cleaning barrack floors. If she complained, which she did initially, she would be given an injection that made her lose consciousness. At night, interrogators would try to break her resolve through humiliation, sleep deprivation, intimidation and other psychological tactics. There were few meals, and she was hungry all the time. “It was so cold, and the blanket in the cell was thin. Sometimes they would wake me every 15 minutes. I was happy I brought the sweater. I would put my legs in the sleeves to warm them.” Eventually, through a stroke of luck, Khachatryan sent a letter to her parents to tell them where she was. They knew she had been de-

Khachatryan was compensated less than $800 for the years she spent in the labor camp, guaranteed by this document, left, which came about a week before the Soviet Union collapsed. When she went to collect, Russia’s runaway inflation had made it worthless. At right, a detail from a Gulag death list.

for more than five years until her release in 1953, she was partly occupied playing an American spy on the stage. ‘HE WOULD SIMPLY NOT DIE’

Nov. 20 is a black day on Khachatryan’s calendar. She does not answer the phone. The TV is switched off. She refuses the company of all but close friends or other Gulag survivors. When she was younger and more agile, she would travel to the cemetery to ask her parents’ forgiveness. She hasn’t done so in years. Nov. 20 is the day Khachatryan was arrested. She was released shortly after Stalin died March 5, 1953. She was 24. “It was all my fault, and after all these years, I feel this responsibility still,” she said. “I made it so hard for them. I was their only child. They did so much for me.” This year, Khachatryan spent Nov. 20 with just one person, her doctor. They ordered pizza and shared a bottle of wine. Virtually all of Khachatryan’s friends have died. She does not feel especially abandoned by the government or anyone else, in part because she never really felt supported by them. Officially, she was compensated 8,100 rubles (about $130) for each year she spent in the camp. She did not receive the money until Dec. 17, 1991 — eight days before the Soviet Union fell apart. When she went to claim the money a few weeks later, Russia’s economic collapse and runaway inflation had turned this payment into dust. For years, Khachatryan refused to talk about her experiences, fearing the potential consequences. “I was worried. I could go back to prison,” she said. “The Soviet Union had not been declared dead for that long.” After her release, she moved to Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine.

There, her mother took her to church and made her pray that she would never again contact “the Yugoslav,” as she now calls her first husband. Kachatryan found work in a cultural center, giving art lessons to military officers and performing on the side. She married again. Then for a third time. She had a son, but he died of leukemia at an early age. She finds it too upsetting to talk about him. A social worker visits Kachatryan once a week and brings her supplies. Recently, the government purchased her a refrigerator, a microwave and a washing machine. This was not because she is a Gulag survivor but because her third husband, an Armenian who had also been imprisoned in Stalin’s camps — for falling in love with a German girl — was due money for being a World War II veteran. A musician, he died in 1997. The time they had together was a happy one. “Nothing teaches people if they don’t want to see. For me, Lenin was Russia’s butcher No. 1, and Stalin was No. 2. Lenin started it all. He was worse. That’s what people need to know.” There was something else she wanted to say: “Listen to me.” “Toward the end — this was early 1953 — we would run every day to the camp doctor and ask whether Stalin was alive or going to die that day. We knew that he was very ill at this point,” she said. “And every day, the doctor would say ‘die.’ But he always lived. He would simply not die. “Then one day, they announced it over a loudspeaker. Everybody was really shocked and confused. No one had any idea what to do. Not even the guards. Finally, someone took charge and told us to gather together, so we could pay our respects. At this moment, we were all sitting on the ground, and so they told us to stand up, so we could properly honor the greatest leader of our nation. “But a friend of mine — an actress who before her imprisonment, (Yugoslav leader) Tito fell in love with and would send her black roses — she refused to stand up. “Eventually, someone started to shout at her: ‘Stand!’ ‘Stand!’ Then others joined in, before finally people were just screaming at her: ‘Bitch, get up!’ ‘Bitch, stand up!’ She never did.” PRICE OF COURTSHIP

Until a few months ago, Khachatryan had kept her promise to her mother and never attempted to make contact with “the Yugoslav.” But a chance encounter with the grandchild of a military officer who had known him convinced her that it might be a good time to write a letter about what had befallen her. It was too late. The letter reached his home a few weeks after he died. She found out that he had gone on to have a distinguished military career, but she learned few details about his personal life. Khachatryan said she did not think readers of her account need to know his name, although she did share it in the end. She also shared the single picture she has of them together, as well as a personal dedication the actress wrote in a book she published about life in the camps. In her letter to “the Yugoslav,” Khachatryan briefly described the price she paid for their courtship. She did not ask him any questions about their time together or anything else. She didn’t want to know.

Happy couple should try working out together Dear Annie: I am in a loving, wonderful relationship with a loving, wonderful man, ‘’Marco.’’ He’s supportive and kind, and he makes me feel like a million bucks. This is in sharp contrast to past relationships, in which I’ve been belittled or not appreciated or I’ve turned into someone I don’t like. I was with wrong guy after wrong guy after wrong guy. After my most recent breakup, I realized that I needed to make myself happy and turned my life around. I began a new exercise routine, stopped smoking and focused on my well-being. Once I was at peace with myself, I was able to say yes to a friend’s attempt to fix me up with a ‘’great guy’’ from her work. And here we are, almost a year later. The issue is that I am

getting too used to being comfortable, and it’s beginning to show in my waistline. Rather than wake up early to go for a jog, I stay in bed snoozing with Marco. It was easy to stick with boring healthful food when I was cooking for myself, but as a couple, we enjoy making delicious and fattening foods. We both have hectic jobs and don’t get to spend as much time together as we’d like, so using up

The first debuts of 2017 Two new network series make New Year’s Day debuts. Luke Roberts stars as suave and cool-headed crisis negotiator Eric Beaumont on ‘‘Ransom’’ (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-14). This procedural will take Eric and his entourage from crisis to crisis, solving nail-biters in 43 minutes or so. This marks the third new CBS drama this season (after ‘‘Bull’’ and ‘‘Pure Genius’’) about a taciturn tech-driven know-itall who dominates his field. While Eric refuses to use guns, an aura of cliche violence dominates the proceedings. We see a SWAT team gather in the show’s very first scene. As on most CBS procedurals, new investigator Maxine (Sarah Greene) graduated at the tippy top of her elite college. As on ‘‘MacGyver,’’ she has a secret, emotionally loaded relationship to the team. ‘‘Ransom’’ may be new, but you’ve seen this many times before. The Canadian-made ‘‘Ransom’’ will air regularly on Saturdays. O Kaitlin Olson from the manic comedy ‘‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’’ barely changes gears on the new Fox series ‘‘The Mick’’ (7 p.m., TV-14, subject to delay due to football). She plays a self-absorbed alcoholic who suddenly becomes the caregiver to three spoiled rich kids when her estranged sister and rich husband are busted by the FBI and flee the country. It’s about as charming as it sounds. More on this when ‘‘The Mick’’ makes its time period premiere on Tuesday. O ‘‘Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago’’ (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., CNN) chronicles the self-described ‘‘rock and roll band with horns’’ over its 50year history and how it rather rapidly evolved from politically charged songs to smooth pop numbers. Best appreciated by those old enough to have slowdanced to ‘‘Colour My World.’’ Tonight’s other highlights O Viceland unspools the entire ESPN documentary miniseries ‘‘O.J.: Made in America’’ (3 p.m. to 11 p.m., Viceland, TV-14). O Scheduled on ‘‘60 Minutes’’ (6:30 p.m., CBS): Chicago’s violence crisis; peculiar revenue sources for cash-starved nations; a rum rivalry. O Julie Andrews hosts ‘‘From Vienna: The New Year’s Celebration 2017’’ on ‘‘Great Performances’’ (6:30 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings). O The Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers in ‘‘Sunday Night Football’’ (7 p.m., NBC). O ‘‘The Bachelor’’ (7 p.m., ABC, TV-14) enters its 21st season.

that time by working out feels like a waste. Annie, how do I stay healthy in my healthy relationship? — Gabby on the Gulf Coast Dear Gabby: As we get more comfortable in romantic relationships, we tend to get into comfier pants — the kind with forgiving elastic waistbands. It’s fortunate that you’ve noticed this one year into your relationship, as opposed to 10. It shouldn’t take too long to get back into those good habits. Your vibe attracts your tribe, and Marco became a part of your life because you were taking care of yourself. Try inviting him along for a morning jog. Couples who get out and do things together are happier. Bonding through constructive, healthy

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Jan. 1: This year you find that your energy dwindles for reasons you can’t seem to understand. If you are single, you will meet someone where you least expect to. If you are attached, the two of you might take up a new mutual interest that will strengthen your connection. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++++ You might want to resist making the party rounds, but you won’t be able to avoid it. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ Concerns surround a friend who seems to be unusually unstable or upset. Tonight: Be willing to step up to the plate. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Move past the inevitable, and look to where you can make changes. Your New Year greetings will mean a lot to others. Tonight: Movie time. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You’ll enjoy the company of others much more than you could’ve imagined. Tonight: Energize a friend who has a case of the blues. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Defer to others, but keep your eye on the big picture. Others remain very sensitive to a conversation. Tonight: Say “yes”

activities can help you both grow into more well-rounded individuals. And if Marco isn’t too pumped about hitting the gym, don’t let that stop you from going on your own. You are still in the honeymoon phase and feel as if you want to spend every waking moment together. But you can’t indulge that craving all the time — just as you can’t indulge every craving for cake. Moderation is the key to health in all areas of life.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

2-deep bench can be enough for KU Fort Worth, Texas — Nine years ago, Kansas proved on college basketball’s biggest stage that a seven-man rotation suffices. KU needed just four minutes from freshman eighthman Cole Aldrich to defeat Memphis, 75-68, in overtime and win the school’s third NCAA tournament title. The key to getting away with a shallower-thantypical rotation involves staying out of foul trouble. No Jayhawk had more than three personal fouls in that 45-minute game. The Jayhawks defended aggressively without fouling excessively in defeating Memphis. Pulling off that delicate balancing act will be the key to Kansas coach Bill Self not needing to dip any deeper down his bench than he did in Friday night’s 86-80 victory at TCU. Self used just seven players. All seven have started multiple games this season, and since the dropoff is so significant after the first seven, don’t expect it to be the final time the eighth and ninth scholarship players, freshman Mitch Lightfoot and junior Dwight Coleby, watch for 40 minutes. Foul trouble is the one factor that will change that on some nights. At TCU, only Jackson encountered that. He fouled out in 12 minutes. Carlton Bragg Jr. and Lagerald Vick, both of whom have made five starts, were the only reserves to get in the game, but a two-deep bench doesn’t mean it’s too shallow. TCU first-year coach Jamie Dixon can attest to that. “The great thing about Kansas is that Vick comes off the bench and really hurts us,” Dixon said afterward. “That was something that we didn’t plan for. He’s had some big games, we know that, but his production, 17 points and 34 minutes, really was huge. That was big. So Jackson being in foul trouble allowed Vick to get some things going, so that was huge for them.” Jackson’s absence hurt defensively more than anything because when TCU set perimeter screens with big man Vladimir Brodziansky and Lucas hedged them to stop the guard’s penetration, it typically was the job of either Vick or Svi Mykhailiuk to help off his man to keep the rolling Brodziansky and other screeners from catching a pass for an easy hoop. Vick too often looked lost and Svi didn’t bring enough urgency to a task that Jackson instinctively performs well. Offensively, Svi, and especially Vick, performed well. A seven-man rotation certainly isn’t ideal, but Kansas can get away with it if it can figure out how to defend aggressively without piling up fouls.

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY IS FLANKED BY FULLBACK Michael Zunica (44) and offensive line coach Zach Yenser following the Jayhawks’ 24-21 overtime victory over Texas on Nov. 19 at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks went 2-10 in Beaty’s second season as Kansas’ coach.

10 most important for KU football

ccording to the most important numbers — the ones corresponding with wins and losses — 2016 didn’t look too remarkable for the University of Kansas football program, as the Jayhawks won two games and lost 10. Using only those digits, the season seemed similar to the six before it for KU, during which three head coaches and one interim coach led the team. In a seven-year stretch from 2010 to 2016, Kansas never won more than three games in a season, and finished with an average record of 2-10. So it’s easy to lump the latest campaign with the rest of the ugly falls that preceded it. However, doing so doesn’t take into account the context of watching David Beaty’s second KU football team far outperform his first in terms of competence and

competitiveness. The numbers 2 and 10 don’t factor in the many talented players who improved this past season, positively impacting the product on the field and giving the fan base some signs of real progress Here is a look at the 10 Jayhawks who made the biggest impact for KU football in 2016 — a year that could end up marking a turning point for a long-struggling program.

No. 10: Running backs coach Tony Hull For all the work assistant

coach Hull put in during practices and with game preparation for the team’s running backs, he also quickly established himself as an important individual in KU’s recruiting strategy during his first year with the program. A former high school Hull coach in New Orleans, Hull’s ties to the region already have helped Kansas bring in talents such as safety Mike Lee, who became a key defensive starter, and quarterback Tyriek Starks, who took a redshirt season. Hull also served as lead recruiter on Class of 2017 commitments Takulve Williams (two-star receiver) and Travis Jordan (three-star athlete). Plus, his presence

has helped the Jayhawks earn consideration from still available touted prospects, such as Brad Stewart, a fourstar defensive back. With Hull in place, Kansas seems in position to target quality recruits in a part of the country where it otherwise might not have been able to get involved.

KANSAS GUARDS FRANK MASON III, CENTER, and Lagerald Vick try to knock the ball away from TCU guard Jaylen Fisher during KU’s 86-80 victory Friday night in Fort Worth, Texas.

Fort Worth, Texas — Dipping one toe into Big 12 waters was all it took for Kansas coach Bill Self to discover one reality about his basketball team he hoped was not true. “We don’t guard,” said Self after his team’s 86-80 victory over TCU on Friday night. “We don’t guard. We can look at stats, and stats can be misleading and stuff, but we’ll watch this

game and (see), when we got stops, they missed. It wasn’t because we created things to make them miss. We don’t guard.” Tough defense, particularly during the grind of Big 12 Conference play and specifically of the man-toman variety, always has been a priority for Self’s teams. Many have featured elite-level shot blockers. But even the teams that didn’t carried with them a

KANSAS DEFENSIVE END DORANCE ARMSTRONG JR. (2) CELEBRATES AFTER A TACKLE FOR A LOSS against Memphis on Sept. in Memphis, Tenn.

Jordan Shelley-Smith was injured and true freshman Hakeem Adeniji wasn’t ready yet. The Killeen, Texas, native even started a game at right guard at Memphis, as KU continued to tweak its O-line combinations. The final eight games of the year, Banks returned to his rightful spot at right tackle, and down the stretch KU’s O-line became more effective with the help of the senior leader.

No. 8: Quarterback Carter Stanley True, the redshirt freshman quarterback only started three games for Kansas this past season, but Stanley’s presence on the field coincided with by far the best stretch of 2016 for the Jayhawks. Stanley Stanley, of course, controlled the offense during the team’s overtime victory over Texas — KU’s lone Big 12 victory. The 6-foot-2, 196-pound QB actually had better individual numbers in KU losses against Iowa State (26for-38, 171 yards, TD, interception) and at Kansas State (24-for-44, 302 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions). With Stanley at QB, KU consistently competed, and that couldn’t be said for other stretches of the season.

Armstrong not only made 11 total tackles, but added Armstrong two sacks, three tackles for loss, while both forcing and recovering a fumble. Armstrong’s 20 tackles for loss on the season made him the Big 12’s leader in that category, and he finished second in sacks (10) to Kansas State senior — and fellow all-league D-lineman — Jordan Willis (11.5). If Kansas, under Beaty, can start climbing out of the ditch it has lived in since Mark Mangino left, Armstrong is the type of star player the coach needs to make it happen.

Traylor’s advocates appeal for clemency Aleah Milliner Special to the Journal-World

Jessie Traylor knew what his outcome would be without having to hear it from a judge. In accordance with the threestrike rule for drug offenders, Traylor would be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2008, Traylor was arrested and brought up on federal charges for the possession and intent to distribute cocaine. He was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2010. During his trial in Illinois, he saw his children for the last time, including his son Jamari Traylor, a former Kansas basketball player. “I was trying to hold back tears when I tried to explain it to my babies,” Traylor said of the last day he saw his kids at the trial. “They were crying so hard. It was a terrible, terrible feeling.” While his father was in prison, in 143 games Jamari averaged 3.6 points and 3.2 rebounds for the Jayhawks from 2012-16. He is now playing professionally for

Austria’s Redwell Gunners Oberwart, averaging about 8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. In 2013, Jamari told ESPN, “I was just so sad for him. And I was sad for myself, too, because I wasn’t going to be able to see him anymore.” Jamari was unavailable for this story. In May, Jessie Traylor received a phone call with news that could change his life — and give him the opportunity to see his children again. Cindy Johnson, chief investigator at the Federal Public Defender Office in Topeka, and Carl Folsom, an assistant federal public defender, learned about Traylor and his life sentence. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama’s administration announced it would seek clemency for hundreds of inmates. Folsom and Johnson knew they could help Traylor. “I was excited,” Traylor said. “I thought, ‘I might have a chance.’” During Jamari’s KU graduation weekend in May 2016, Johnson set up a meeting at the basketball offices with Jamari

and his mother. There, they learned for the first time that clemency was an option. “It was an emotional meeting, for us and for them,” Johnson said from his Topeka office. Folsom and Johnson set to work creating an application to submit through the Clemency Project, an effort under the Obama administration to review all qualifying prisoners for clemency by the end of Obama’s term. Included in Traylor’s application was a letter of support from KU basketball coach Bill Self, according to Folsom. Self did not want to comment for this story. Should he receive clemency, Traylor could receive a shorter sentence or be eligible for immediate release, Johnson said. She said some prisoners have had their sentences reduced to 30year minimums, while others are released at their 10-year mark. To date, Obama has commuted the sentences of 1,023 prisoners, including 324 individuals who were serving a life sentence. The White House

Liberty and was on pace to sit out the season due to NCAA transfer rules. He was not in attendance at Friday night’s 86-80 victory over TCU in the Big 12 opener for both teams. With two seasons of eligibility still to use, the forward, who averaged 10 points and 4.8 rebounds per game during his sophomore season at Liberty, had high hopes for his time at Kansas. He was not alone. “We were all excited when Evan committed and we all had high expectations for him,” Self said. “This semester did not go the way Evan had anticipated. We support his decision to take some time away to figure out what he wants to do moving forward. He’s a tremendous young man and

we wish him nothing but the best.” With senior Landen Lucas graduating, the Jayhawks now are guaranteed to lose two front court players from the current roster. However, injured freshman center Udoka Azubuike, freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot and junior Dwight Coleby all are expected to return. Beyond that, the future of sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. remains up in the air, though it now looks far more likely that he could return for a third season than it did when the season began. And the Jayhawks also are anticipating the addition of forward Billy Preston, the No. 8-ranked player in the Class of 2017 according to Rivals.com, who signed with KU in November.

and forced 15 Horned Frog tunovers, Self came away less than pleased about how his team opened Big 12 play and wishing for better. “For the most part, it’s kind of just hunker down and have some pride and guard your man,” Self said. “And we’re just not doing that very well.” It’s not for lack of understanding. With so many veterans on this team, players who have learned for three and

even four seasons under Self in the past, the thirdranked Jayhawks (12-1 overall, 1-0 Big 12) have more than enough knowledge both of what it takes to play quality defense and the type of effort Self expects. Nothing better illustrated that point Friday night than seniors Frank Mason III and Landen Lucas both addressing the team’s subpar defense against TCU even when not being asked about it.

“We know coming into games that we play on the road that we’ve gotta really guard and take pride on the defensive end,” Mason began. “Try and make the opposing team play bad and that’ll help us on the offensive end.” Added Lucas: “We know conference play is a whole different situation. Every game’s gonna be tough and we have to come out and get off to a good start. And we didn’t do that tonight. We’ll

Although the news does nothing to damage KU’s rotation this season, KU’s crop of big men took another hit on Saturday, when 6-foot10 center Evan Maxwell announced, via press release, that he was leaving the program. “I’d like to thank coach (Bill) Self, the other coaches and staff, and especially my teammates for allowing me to be a part of such a great program,” Maxwell said in the release. “I just don’t think it was the right time for me and this will allow me to focus more on my future.” Maxwell, a native of Clarks Summit, Pa., signed with KU in May after a two-year stint at

certain understanding of the importance of playing sound defense. According to Self, the Jayhawks did not do that on Friday night. And regardless of the fact that the final score went KU’s way or that KU held TCU to 44.3 percent shooting (40.6 in the second half)

Since Jamari’s basketball career at Kansas began in 2011, Traylor said he watched every game on TV. He said he felt as though he were living vicariously through his son as he watched him play. Were he to receive clemency, Traylor said he would spend more time with his three other children, Jamani, Ronzel, and Latisha, and a grandson named Lucas, who he hopes will play basketball for Kansas someday. Traylor’s application was submitted through The Clemency Project and he is currently waiting to hear a decision on his case. The Clemency Project comprises a team of lawyers and advocates offering their services to inmates, pro bono. Inmates qualify for clemency if they “likely would have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of the same offense today,” according to the Clemency Project website. “In the late ’90s and early 2000s, we had a war on drugs. Sentences kept increasing and drugs were treated differently when it came to sentencing,” said

Alice Craig, an attorney in the KU School of Law. “Now, drugs are treated more equally. And there has been a large shift towards rehabilitation for these individuals that were maybe at the bottom of the drug trade, to get them out earlier.” Traylor survives the solitary environment that has become his normal life on the hope that he might one day receive clemency. “I can’t set myself up for disappointment,” Traylor said. “I would be grateful and happy to have a second chance. But if it doesn’t happen, I have to try and stay focused. Try not to get into trouble.” In Yazoo City Prison, Traylor is employed as a cook and is paid $5 per month for his work. He said he enjoys cooking because it gives him a chance to create something. When he does find a free moment from his job in the kitchen, he enjoys playing basketball with other inmates. Although he can no longer dunk, he said he’s still a player. “No one here can guard me,” Traylor joked.

Chiefs seek AFC West title in finale against Chargers San Diego (ap) — What totally different experiences the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers could have this afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium. Already in the playoffs for the third time in four years, Alex Smith and the Chiefs (11-4) need to beat the Chargers (510) and have the Denver Broncos beat the Oakland Raiders in order to clinch the AFC West title and a first-round bye. The games kick off at the same time, and it’ll be tempting for the Chiefs to check the antiquated Jumbotron at the aging stadium for RaidersBroncos updates. The Chargers, meanwhile, are putting their beaten-down fans through another possible final game in San Diego. Chairman Dean Spanos, unable to find a solution to replace Qualcomm Stadium, is threatening for the second straight year to move to Los Angeles. He has until Jan. 15 to decide. Fans thought last year’s home finale, a win against the Dolphins, was the end. Now this game might be. The Chargers have the look of a franchise that’s flaming out. Raiders fans overran Qualcomm Stadium two weeks ago to cheer on an Oakland win. Then the Chargers lost to the previously winless Cleveland Browns. This is a rematch of a season opener that set the tone for the Chargers’ wretched season. After taking a 27-10 lead with 13:24 to play at Kansas City on Sept. 11, the Chargers allowed the Chiefs to come racing back for a 33-27 overtime victory. It was the first of six blown

Conference woes Brandon Schneider has yet to pick up a Big 12 win (0-19) in his time as the Kansas coach. The Jayhawks haven’t just lost those games; they’ve struggled to compete. Only two games have been closer than 10 points, and 10 of them have been by 20 points or more. It won’t get any easier against No. 3 Baylor, which has won five in a row and 13 of its last 14 against Kansas.

website reports that 50 percent of all federal inmates are serving sentences for drug charges. When he first arrived in prison, Traylor said he felt it was the most dangerous place in the world. He said he has gotten used to it, but that it is still a very lonely place. “You are behind a wall,” he said. “There is no life here. All we do is eat and sleep.” Eight years have passed without a visit from his children, who live in Illinois and have never had the money to visit. Traylor has moved from Illinois to Pennsylvania to Mississippi, where he is currently incarcerated at Yazoo City, a federal prison about an hour north of Jackson. “They send me so far away that nobody can visit me,” Traylor said. Several years ago he called Jamari, who was only 12 years old when his father went to prison. Jamari told him Self was in sitting on the living room couch. “I said, ‘Get out of here,’” Traylor said. “I said, ‘Tell ’Mari he is going to KU.’”

fourth-quarter leads for the Bolts. Here are some things to look for when the Chiefs visit the Chargers in maybe the last NFL game ever in San Diego: Alex Smith: Chargers fans aren’t the only ones not knowing how emotions will play out today. Smith grew up in the San Diego area and went to Helix High in suburban La Mesa, where he was teammates with Reggie Bush. He knows all about Qualcomm Stadium. “Weird. I played there in high school and I played there in college. I think it’d be strange and

sad if the Chargers left,” Smith said. “That’s just for me personally and the community having grown up there. Obviously, I’m getting ready to play a game so it’s not on the forefront of my mind, but definitely sad. I hope they stay.” Last time, part II? Chargers QB Philip Rivers doesn’t think this game will have the same emotions as last year’s home finale, when players came back out onto the field to greet fans following the victory against Miami. “I don’t think we can try to re-enact or try to take two of that,” Rivers said. “That was very authentic and very just the way it happened. We beat Miami the next-to-last game to win our fourth game, it had been a rough year, and I think both the fans, the players, everybody, thought it was the end, and it just kind of organically happened. There was no plan for staying out after and signing autographs and doing all that we did, and it just happened. I don’t know that you can re-enact that. “I don’t know what to anticipate on Sunday. I don’t think it will be the same feel. We’ll see how it goes.” Hot seat: This could be Mike McCoy’s last game as Chargers coach. He’s 27-36 in four seasons and the Chargers will finish last in the AFC West for the second straight year. The Chargers went to the playoffs in McCoy’s first season, 2013. San Diego was 8-4 going into December 2014, but has gone 10-25 since, including 1-12 in the AFC West. Overall, San Diego has missed the playoffs six times in seven seasons.

learn from it and get better as a team.” Leading up to Friday’s conference opener, which Kansas won for the 26th consecutive season, junior guard Devonté Graham shared a common phrase he said Self liked to use that stresses the importance of defense. According to Graham, defense is a part of everything the Jayhawks do, even offensiveminded drills. “It’s selfish for you to shoot the ball and not

defend,” Graham said. “(That’s) one of the things he always tells us. He don’t care if we’re missing shots, as long as we defend. So everything’s always about defense.” The reason for that is simple. Self believes playing good defense is as much a mental achievement as it is a physical feat and it’s that philosophy that has the veteran coach preaching defense as much as the Jayhawks practice it.

PLAYOFF SEMIFINALS

Alabama returns to title game Atlanta (ap) — For Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, it would be unimaginable to end a season any other way. Once again, they’ll be playing for a national title. Going old school on playoff newcomer Washington, top-ranked Alabama relied on a stifling defense and the bruising runs of Bo Scarbrough to wear down the Huskies for a 24-7 victory Saturday in the Peach Bowl semifinal game. Saban isn’t satisfied. He never is. “We’ve got more miles to go,” said Saban, who will be seeking his fifth national title in the last eight years at Alabama, a remarkable run that has stamped him perhaps the greatest coach in college football history. The Crimson Tide (14-0) scored 10 points off turnovers, including Ryan Anderson’s interception return for a touchdown late in the first half, and Scarbrough’s 68-yard TD run in the fourth quarter finished off the Huskies. Scarbrough totaled 180 yards and two scores, garnering offensive MVP honors. Not bad for a backup. “Whoever’s hot, that’s who’s going to get the ball,” Saban said. “He’s been hot lately and he’s going to get the ball.” Seeking its second straight title, Alabama heads to Tampa, Fla., for the Jan. 9 championship game. “We’re 1-0,” linebacker Reuben Foster said. “Now it’s time to focus on the next one and leave this behind us.” No. 4 Washington (122) reached the College Football Playoff with a remarkable turnaround

To some, he’s already tied with the Bear. One of Bryant’s titles came in 1973 when the Tide was voted No. 1 in the final coaches’ poll, which came out before the bowls. Alabama lost in the Sugar Bowl to Notre Dame, handing the Fighting Irish the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press poll.

CONFETTI FILLS THE GEORGIA DOME AS ALABAMA CELEBRATES a 24-7 victory over Washington in the Peach Bowl NCAA college football playoff semifinals Saturday in Atlanta. season after struggling much of the last two decades — including an 0-12 debacle in 2008. But Jake Browning and the Huskies’ highpowered offense were no match for Alabama’s top-ranked defense, even after an impressive drive gave them an early 7-0 edge. The Tide began to exert its dominance late in the first quarter when Anthony Averett stripped the ball away from John Ross on a screen pass. Jonathan Allen recovered, giving Alabama possession at the Washington 40 and setting up Adam Griffith’s 41-yard field goal for a 10-7 lead. Anderson made an even bigger defensive play with just over a minute to go in the half. With the blitzing Foster bear-

ing down on him, Browning desperately heaved a pass into the flats for Lavon Coleman. But Anderson peeled off to make the pick, knocked Coleman over in the process and was off to the end zone on a 26-yard return that made it 17-7 at the half. For Alabama, it was the 11th defensive touchdown of the season. “That’s as good a defense as there is out there in college football,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said. “They played like it.” Any hopes of a Washington comeback were snuffed out by Scarbrough, a starter at most schools but not for the deep, talented Tide. On a simple running play to the left, he appeared to be stopped by two players

just short of the line of scrimmage. But Scarbrough somehow managed to stay on his feet and — boom! — he was gone. Streaking down the field in front of the Alabama bench, he avoided another defender, cut back toward the middle of the field at the Washington 30 and outran everyone to the end zone. Scarbrough also scored Alabama’s first touchdown with a bruising 18yard run.

in a 26-13 loss to Southern Cal. That was also their lowest-scoring game of the season until they ran up against the Tide. Browning finished 20 of 38 for just 150 yards. He was sacked five times and picked off twice.

Hurts struggles Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts had been a big part of the Alabama offense, but he didn’t have much of an impact in the Peach Bowl. The youngster was 7 of 14 for 57 yards passing, Stymied Huskies with three sacks. He ran Washington was held 19 times for 50 yards. to a season-low for points and yards, even after a 64- Chasing Bear Saban, who won a BCS yard opening drive capped by Browning’s 16-yard TD championship at LSU, has a chance to join Bear Brypass to Dante Pettis. The Huskies finished ant as the only coaches to with 194 yards, below capture six national titles their previous low of 276 in the poll era.

Ugly ending A scuffle broke out after Minkah Fitzpatrick’s interception in the closing seconds, leading to a pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against Alabama. Several Washington players were shaken up while chasing down Fitzpatrick, but they all managed to walk off the field while the officials sorted things out. Two Alabama players — linebacker Reuben Foster and defensive back Ronnie Harrison — headed to the locker room before the game was over. But they were sent off by their coaches, not the officials. “They were taking some cheap shots,” Foster said.

Clemson too tough for Ohio State Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — Deshaun Watson ran for two touchdowns and threw another and No. 3 Clemson crushed No. 2 Ohio State, 31-0, Saturday night in the Fiesta Bowl to set up a rematch with Alabama for the College Football Playoff national championship. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney had sold his team on making this a redemptive trip to the desert by winning at the site where they lost to Alabama in the national title game last season. With that taken care of, Clemson (13-1) now gets another crack at the topranked Crimson Tide in Tampa, Florida, on Jan. 9. The teams that started the season ranked Nos. 1 and 2 will most certainly end it that way, too. In what figures to be Watson’s final college game, he will try to lead Clemson to its first na-

tional title since 1981. The junior and Heisman Trophy runner-up passed for 259 yards and ran for 57 against the Buckeyes (112), who could not keep Clemson’s big and quick defensive line out of their backfield. Freshman Clelin Ferrell had a sack among his three tackles for loss and Clemson allowed only 215 yards and nine first downs. The Buckeyes were shut out for the first time since 1993 against Michigan and Urban Meyer had one of his teams held scoreless for the first time in 194 games as a head coach. Watson made it 24-0 with 2:06 left in the third quarter when he faked a pitch, cut through a hole and into the end zone from 7 yards out. He hopped through the back of the end zone and did a little dance in front of the Ohio State section.

The rest was a formality. Much the way Alabama’s defense suffocated Washington in the day’s first semifinal, Clemson gave Ohio State no options. The Buckeyes came in averaging 258 yards rushing per game and finished with 88. J.T. Barrett threw for 127 yards and was intercepted twice. The sellout crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium of 71,279 had far more Ohio State scarlet than Clemson orange at kickoff, but by the halfway point in the fourth quarter Tigers fans mostly had the place to themselves.

The takeaway In a rebuilding year with only six returning starters, the Buckeyes reached the playoff. Hard to call that a disappointment, but Ohio State’s

issues on the offensive line and limitations in the passing game were badly exposed by a Clemson defensive line that features a bunch of future NFL players.

College football bowl roundup The Associated Press

Citrus Bowl No. 19 LSU 29, No. 15 Louisville 9 Orlando, Fla. — Sophomore running back Derrius Guice ran for 138 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown, and caught a scoring pass to help LSU defeat Louisville in Saturday’s Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl. Guice, who stepped in for departed Leonard

Fournette, consistently made explosive plays running the ball, as a receiver and a kickoff return man for the Tigers (8-4). His performance was eclipsed only by the overpowering performance of the Tigers defense that completely shut down Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals. The Cardinals did not score a touchdown. Jackson was sacked

eight times, including a safety for an 8-yard loss late in the second quarter. Jackson completed just 10 of 27 passes for 153 yards while leading the rushing attack with 33 yards as the Cardinals (9-4) ended their season with three straight losses. LSU quarterback Danny Etling threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns as the Tigers moved the ball with balance all game. Malachi Dupre led LSU in receiv-

And fellow linebacker Terrell Lewis blocked a punt late in the first half that set up a 52-yard field goal.
