School board to vote on bond issue at meeting tonight By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school board today will vote to approve the district’s 2017 capital improvement plan, which includes $87 million of

improvements to Lawrence’s secondary schools as part of a proposed 2017 bond issue. That bond issue, if the board approves a resolution to call for its proposed election, would go to district voters May 2. Board members

last month reached a consensus to move several of the bond issue’s proposed improvements “above the line,” bringing the total budget to $87 million. As of late November, the improvements’ estimated

base cost was more than $75.5 million. The reason for what could be perceived as a nearly $12 million hike in price, school board president Marcel Harmon said, could be attributed to the fact that a total budget had never been

settled on — up until board members reached a consensus at their Dec. 19 meeting to include what had previously been optional projects in the final plan.

n today’s technological age, it probably is not wise to brag about the quality of your Rolodex. It makes people think you’ve dropped your iPhone in the toilet. But whether you have them stored on your smartphone or on a crumpled up cocktail napkin, it still is important to know who to contact and how to do it. In the ultracompetitive industry of economic development, it is vital. Lawrence officially has a new leader of economic development that comes loaded with a ton of contacts. I sat down for a good conversation with Steve Kelly on just his third day on the job as the new vice president of economic development for the Lawrence chamber of commerce.

“The total was always really there, but it was a matter of what we wanted to spend versus not,” Harmon said of the $12 million set aside for improvements that would create more energy-efficient spaces and, proponents say, save the district money in the long run. The bulk of those newly “above the line” funds, about $9.5 million, will go toward installing exterior and interior LED lights at Free State High School, Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, Southwest Middle School and South Middle School. Lawrence High School and West Middle School were already slated to

receive LED lighting as part of the proposed improvements’ base cost, which would save the district $56,000 a year, according to cost estimates by architecture firm Gould Evans. The proposed LED projects at the four additional schools, if approved as part of the CIP, would bring those savings to $97,000. Key in this plan, Harmon said, is swapping out existing fluorescent lighting in schools with a more energy-efficient alternative. “With fluorescent lights, you have to replace the lamps fairly frequently, especially compared to LED lighting, which lasts significantly longer … Essentially, that means a lot of year-to-year operational costs,” Harmon said of the older systems. With LED lights, he continued, “we don’t have to

Many were due within the next few years anyway, Harmon said, so the plan to take care of routine replacements while construction crews have already been mobilized, he explained, makes good sense. The $87 million price tag makes good financial sense, he said, with the

savings incurred in energy, utilities and maintenance costs. There’s also a boost in environmental quality that’s not so easy to quantify in dollars, he added. Comforts — among them thermal and visual — as well as improved air quality in the classroom should make a difference for students and staff alike, Harmon said. “It makes the teachers’ job easier and it makes the students’ learning easier,” he said. “We certainly don’t want the building to work against our goals of improving

Lawrence City Commission to elect new mayor, hear State of City By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

At the end of the City Commission’s meeting today, Lawrence will have a new mayor. If tradition holds as expected, the commission will vote to elect Vice Mayor Leslie Soden as mayor and Commissioner Stuart Boley as Vice Mayor. Before that happens, though, current Mayor Mike Amyx will give the State of the City address. The address typically highlights what the commission has accomplished during the mayor’s term. It also takes a forward look at what is in store for the city’s future. Amyx took over the position after former mayor Jeremy Farmer resigned from the commission amid

controversy in August 2015. Farmer later pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transportation of stolen funds stemming from his time as director of the nonprofit food bank Just Food. As all commissioners but Amyx had recently begun serving their first terms at the time of Farmer’s resignation, commissioners elected to have Amyx step in as mayor. Today will conclude Amyx’s sixth term as mayor in a political career that stretches back to the 1980s. After the commission holds the elections for the positions mayor and vice mayor, the new mayor will be provided time to make comments. The newly elected mayor typically takes that time to discuss his or her outlook

for the city. Lawrence voters do not directly elect the city’s mayor and vice mayor, who both serve one-year terms. However, by tradition, the commission elects the two commissioners who received the highest number of votes in the most recent election. The commission’s meeting takes the place of its regularly scheduled work session on Tuesday. The commission will vote whether to approve a consent agenda, but there are no work session items. The City Commission will convene at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314. Follow her on Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Lobbyist: Legislature’s fiscal headaches pave way for sustainable activities By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

A Kansas Legislature desperate for cash could be a good thing for possible revenue-producing sustainable initiatives, a lobbyist says. Zack Pistora, the Sierra Club’s lobbyist for Kansas, shared thoughts about the state’s biggest environmental issues and proposed solutions that would be part of Sierra Club’s 2017 legislative agenda with a gathering of about 40 people Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway. Pistora, who has been the state’s Sierra Club lobbyist for six years, said lawmakers were telling him not to propose too many bills this year because they would be focused on the state’s large and growing revenue shortfall and crafting a new K-12 school funding formula. Nonetheless, Pistora identified a number of issues from water to agriculture to energy that he said need the state’s attention. He anticipated a friendlier reception to environmental concerns as a result of changes in House and Senate chambers after

last year’s elections. The dire straits of the state’s fiscal outlook could be a game-changer for environmental advocates if they framed proposals as revenue generators or potential cost-saving measures, he said. Pistora gave examples of how that could be done through more reliance on Kansas resources. The state continues to produce 60 percent of its energy from Wyoming coal despite the abundance of wind energy potential, he said. Kansas was making strides with 28 percent of the state’s production now coming from renewable energy. Wind energy was growing and advances continue to make solar power production cheaper, Pistora said. Advances in efficiency and cost of battery power storage and the potential to store energy as compressed air underground are big game-changers, he said. A measure the Sierra Club favors to help grow the percentage of renewable power sources is the deregulation of electrical utilities so that consumers could buy their power directly from producers, Pistora said. That would encourage further investment in alternate energy

ZACK PISTORA, KANSAS LOBBYIST FOR THE SIERRA CLUB, EXPOUNDS ON A POINT in the Sierra Club’s 2017 legislative agenda during a gathering Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence.

“

What if you could buy your energy from Wal-Mart, produced from solar panels on their roof? Obviously, the electrical utilities don’t like deregulation. We have a regulated monopoly of electrical utilities.”

production, create jobs and provide additional sources of state revenue, he said. “What if you could buy your energy from WalMart, produced from solar panels on their roof?” he asked. “Obviously, the electrical utilities don’t like deregulation. We have a regulated monopoly of electrical utilities.” Another legislative measure the Sierra Club favors is state encouragement of low-cost financing

for measures that provide energy and water savings, Pistora said. The loans would be backed with the borrowers’ homes or properties, he said. Also on the Sierra Club’s 2017 agenda is a call for a fracking bill, Pistora said. There is no longer any doubt that deep water injection wells were behind Kansas leaping from one of five states least at risk for earthquakes to one of the top five, he said.

The Sierra Club is calling for uniform, statewide regulations on deep water injections, as well as for fees on using the fracking procedure, Pistora said. It is also asking for a full committee hearing exploring the range of the problems, which would demonstrate the costs from fracking-related earthquakes, he said. “They haven’t heard from the victims,” he said. “They haven’t heard from the

insurance companies.” Water is the state’s biggest environmental issue, with much of the concerns caused by corn production, which not only creates pollution from the overuse of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides, but that is also the leading cause of the continued depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer, Pistora said. The Sierra Club’s proposals to address the latter problem include a depletion reserve allowance tax, such as that charged for the state’s oil and gas wells, and fees for irrigating, Pistora said. “Twenty percent of farmers are using 80 percent of the state’s water, primarily through irrigation,” he said. “I think irrigators should be a little more responsible.” The state should also encourage less cultivation of corn and more of fruits and vegetables, Pistora said. Kansas produces 4 percent of the $700 million in fruits and vegetables it consumes annually, he said. Increasing in-state production of those foodstuffs would benefit the state financially and environmentally, he said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

EDITORIALS

Kansans deserve a school plan Lawmakers have done precious little in the past two years to figure out how to fund our public schools.

owever daunting the task may be, Kansas legislators must put forth a school-funding plan this session. There simply is no reasonable excuse not to do so. In 2015, Kansas lawmakers repealed the existing school funding formula, replacing it with a block-grant system that effectively froze funding in place for the next two years. During the two-year period, lawmakers were to write a new formula. That timetable is now less than six months away and little progress has been made. That has to change. Now. The 2017 Legislature and its 50 new members owe it to Kansas’ taxpayers to develop and approve a new formula. There isn’t a legislator who didn’t know this was necessary when he or she decided to run. Many were elected largely on their promise to address school funding. It won’t be easy. The Kansas Supreme Court has established a new legal standard for judging whether overall funding is adequate. In the school finance lawsuit Montoy v. Kansas in 2005 the court ruled funding must be based on the cost of providing the educational services the state required. In 2014, in the current lawsuit Gannon v. Kansas, the court set a new legal standard, one based on educational outcomes. Funding must be sufficient to ensure that when students graduate, they have sufficient knowledge and skills in specific areas. And there is the enormous political problem of writing a formula that is both equitable and acceptable to a majority of the state’s 286 school districts. The state’s wealthiest school districts, which theoretically have the most to lose in developing a new formula that makes funding more equitable, also have the most political influence and historically have wielded that influence very effectively to limit or quash plans that reduce their level of state funding. The 1992 school funding plan provided a base amount of funding per pupil for each district, with additional funds made available for difficult to educate populations such as low-income students and English language learners. That continues to be the most logical foundation for a school-funding plan. In recent years, there has been a significant lack of pragmatism and compromise during Kansas legislative sessions. But if this group of legislators is going to write a school finance formula in six months, they need to acquire a healthy dose of both pretty quickly, because failing to approve a plan simply isn’t excusable.

Obama’s unforced errors on policy Washington — When Barack Obama moves two miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to 2446 Belmont Road in Washington’s Kalorama neighborhood, he will live half a mile from 2340 S Street, where Woodrow Wilson spent his three postpresidential years. Wilson’s embittering foreign policy failure was the Senate’s rejection of the U.S. participation in the embodiment of Wilsonian aspirations, the League of Nations. Obama leaves office serene because “almost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago.” Two seemingly unimpressed nations are Russia, which is dismembering a European nation (Ukraine) and China, which is shredding international law by turning the world’s most important waterway, the South China Sea, into militarized Chinese territory. Obama’s policies that brought America to a pinnacle of admiration, as he sees it, were an amalgam of Wilsonian and anti-Wilsonian elements. Wilson’s grand ambition for America was to reorder the world in a way that would make it unnecessary for America to have grand ambitions. He thought America could lead a restful life after strenuous diplomacy had written rules for the game of nations. Many progressives believe — they take this from the Founders’ favorite philosopher, John Locke, while rejecting his natural rights teaching — in humanity’s

“

Obama’s foreign policy presumed the existence of “the community of nations.” But that phrase is worse than hackneyed and sentimental, it is oxymoronic.” natural sociability. This disposes them to believe that peace among nations is natural and spontaneous, or it would be if other nations would cleanse their minds of the superstitions that prevent them from recognizing the universal validity and demonstrable utility of American principles. These, said Wilson, are shared by “forward looking men and women everywhere” and “every modern nation.” He also said, inconsistently, that “every nation of the world needs to be drawn into the tutelage of America.” Obama seemed to doubt that America has much to teach the world, beyond post-Iraq modesty — herewith his Wilsonian dimension — and the power of diplomacy’s soft power to tame the world. Although neither the English nor the American nor the Russian

nor the Spanish nor the Chinese civil war was ended by negotiations, Obama thought the especially vicious and complex civil war in Syrian’s sectarian and tribal society could be ended diplomatically. Russian President Vladimir Putin picked a side and helped it win. The fact that the world is more disorderly and less lawful than when Obama became president is less his fault than the fault of something about which progressives are skeptical — powerful, unchanging human nature. Humans are, as Job knew, born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward: They are desirous and competitive, and hence are prone to conflict. And to causing progressives to furrow their brows in puzzlement. In 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, Secretary of State John Kerry was disappointed with Putin, saying, more in sorrow than in anger: “You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th-century fashion.” If you do, you place yourself on (in one of Obama’s favorite phrases) “the wrong side of history.” Make that History, which, in progressives’ lexicon, is a proper noun, an autonomous thing with a mind, or at least a logic, of its own. Kerry’s reprimand of Putin expressed a progressive’s certitude about progress: The passage of time should ineluctably improve the comportment of nations. Which is why in 1911, the renowned 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica,

in its entry on torture, said “the whole subject is one of only historical interest as far as Europe is concerned.” The Dachau concentration camp was opened in March 1933. Obama’s foreign policy presumed the existence of “the community of nations.” But that phrase is worse than hackneyed and sentimental, it is oxymoronic: Different nations affirm different notions of justice; a community consists of people made cohesive by a consensus about the nature of justice. Obama’s second-worst unforced error, second to declaring and then abandoning a “red line” about Syrian chemical weapons, was involving the U.S. military in regime change in Libya. Perhaps this venture appealed to him because it was untainted by any discernible connection with American national interest. He conducted it by “leading from behind,” which he described as U.S. forces “being volunteered by others to carry out missions” in Libya. As George Orwell said, “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.” Soon, foreign policy will be conducted by a man who, although in 2010 he said WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange deserves the death penalty, now seems to trust Assange on the subject of Russian hacking more than he trusts the consensus of the nation’s $53 billion civilian intelligence institutions. Time passes and, we are told, brings progress. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Trump a ‘big fan’ of intelligence; really? Washington — Watching Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, a gruff, 50-year veteran of the spy world, answer congressional questions Thursday, you couldn’t help wondering if perhaps this time Donald Trump has met his match. To recall a quip made years ago by a prominent Washington lawyer, Clapper is not a “potted plant.” He has served Republicans and Democrats alike with the same grumpy dislike of political criticism.

The showdown between Clapper and Trump over allegations of Russian hacking will shape public perceptions of the next president in the two weeks before his inauguration. We’ll learn more about what Russian hackers did during the 2016 campaign. We’ll also learn more about Trump and whether he will bring his Russophilia into the White House. After the week’s briefings of Trump and President Obama, the real circus will come this week, when members of Congress receive their own classified reports. Democrats would be wise if they kept their mouths shut and let GOP Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham do the talking. Trump’s post-election line on Russian hacking has been to blame U.S. intelligence agencies and the news media. Bashing the “elitist” media has been a standard GOP tactic since Richard Nixon’s day. But Trump at times has actually seemed to be siding with Russia and other antiAmerican critics and against U.S. intelligence agencies. The standard response of

a president-elect to any allegation of foreign meddling in the U.S. election, you’d think, would be to call for an investigation. Instead, Trump called the allegations of Russian hacking “ridiculous,” claimed it was the Democratic National Committee’s own fault if its cybersecurity was poor, needled the CIA for its Iraq WMD mistakes, and otherwise sought to belittle the intelligence agencies. Weirdest of all was Trump’s embrace this week of Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks and a person many U.S. officials, Republican and Democrat, see as having damaged U.S. national security by leaking classified documents about nearly every area of foreign policy. When Assange sought to pooh-pooh Moscow’s role with a careful denial that his source hadn’t been “the Russian government” or a “state party,” he got three “Pinocchios” from The Washington Post’s Fact Checker. But Trump treated him like a new friend. He approvingly tweeted Assange’s claim that U.S. media coverage was “very dishonest” and added: “More dishonest than anyone knows.” Then, in one of those “who, me?” reversals that are a Trump specialty, he tweeted

Thursday: “The dishonest media likes saying that I am in Agreement with Julian Assange — wrong. I simply state what he states, ... The media lies to make it look like I am against ‘Intelligence’ when in fact I am a big fan!” We’ll soon see how supportive of U.S. intelligence Trump really is. But in recent months, his approach to the hacking story has been worryingly similar to Russia’s own response: It’s all lies, circulated by a dishonest media. Nobody can believe anything. This sort of information fog is precisely what Moscow seeks to spawn in its own propaganda campaigns. The Russian goal is “to corrode democratic norms and institutions by discrediting the electoral process and to tarnish the reputations of democratic governments in order to establish a kind of moral equivalence between Russia and the West,” wrote Thorsten Benner and Mirko Hohmann last month in Foreign Affairs. Anyone who thinks that the Russian hacking charges are simply an attempt to belittle or discredit Trump should study Russia’s current covert-action campaign in Europe. Benner and Hohmann quote Bruno Kahl, the chief of Germany’s

intelligence service, who told a newspaper there that “cyberattacks are taking place that have no purpose other than to elicit uncertainty.” The head of French information security similarly warned last month that Western countries face “the development of a digital threat for political ends and for destabilization.” This Russian political assault has been hiding in plain sight. Andrei Soldatov, a Russian investigative journalist, wrote last July when news surfaced that the DNC had been hacked that Hillary Clinton was seen by Moscow “as a tough and uncompromising adversary,” that the U.S. elections were “the most sensitive” problem facing the Kremlin, and that only President Vladimir Putin could decide what to do. And what did Trump say back then about Russian hackers? “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing” from Clinton’s private server. He egged on a foreign intelligence service to help his campaign, then claimed they didn’t do it, then blamed U.S. intelligence for faulty reporting. And the question is: Why? — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

of community service organizations before rekindling her political interests by heading the 2014 bond referendum campaign for a new Lawrence Police Department headquarters. The measure failed, but Derusseau said it was enlightening to hear voters in post-referendum forums say their no votes were in protest against the city’s support for Rock Chalk Park and the Lawrence Public Library projects. Others said they disliked the use of sales tax to finance the project, she said. The lesson she took away from the experience was that she still enjoyed politics and teamwork involved in the campaign. “It’s all about people,” Derusseau said. “It’s all about working together.” A year after that campaign, Derusseau, who has returned to work at KU Endowment, took a more personal leap into the political arena. Although she announced her candidacy for the County Commission in January 2016 after Commissioner Jim Flory made official his decision not to seek a third term, she started attending weekly County Commission meetings two months earlier after hearing the seat would probably be open. Those meetings were only part of the preparation and effort Derusseau put into her campaign. She attended all the township meetings in the 3rd District and met with the county department heads and leaders of various community agencies. She also ran an aggressive campaign that brought her to many homes in the district. “I loved it,” she said. “What surprised me the most was I really enjoyed going door to door. I met a lot of wonderful people. I had one young man surprise me because he knew who I was when I came to the door. I asked him how he knew me, and he said he Googled me.” She will join the

commission as the only Republican on the board, but don’t look for Derusseau to be the source of party division of the kind seen in Washington, D.C., and Topeka. She has no agenda, she said, and expects to forge the same kind of bipartisan working relationship with Gaughan and Thellman as her predecessor. “That’s what is neat about local government,” she said. “At the end of the day, it was not about the Ds and not about the Rs but what is best for Douglas County. We may have differences about how we get to the finish line, but we all have the same intentions.” Derusseau’s 14-monthlong County Commission tutorial included preparation on the two biggest issues she will confront in her first year: the proposed $30 million expansion of the Douglas County Jail and construction of a mental health crisis intervention center. Derusseau has attended Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council meetings since the council’s creation in March and the town hall presentations of the past two years. Her positions remain consistent with those she stated in the campaign, Derusseau said. She sees no rush to make a decision on the proposed $30 million expansion of the Douglas County Jail while the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council explores promising initiatives to reduce the jail’s population. She does, however, agree with jail officials that structural problems are behind the expansion proposal. “It’s not about incarcerating more people,” she said. “I look at it as a hospital. There are times when all the beds in the maternity ward or ICU aren’t filled, but hospitals have to design for the number of beds they need at peak times.” Derusseau takes a similarly cautious approach on moving forward with the crisis intervention center. For it to be effective, the county has to have mental health programs in place for

WOW internet sees second outage; company says cause is repaired Staff Reports

WOW internet was once again experiencing a widespread service outage Sunday. However, at 9 p.m. Sunday evening, the company tweeted via its customer service account, @WOWCare, that the fiber cut that caused the outage had been repaired and service should return to normal. At about 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Debra Schmidt, WOW assistant manager for the Lawrence area, said the service disruption appeared to have affected Lawrence and the other communities WOW internet manages out of its Lawrence office. It appeared the source of the outage was the same as that which caused a systemwide four-plus-hour disruption of service Saturday afternoon, she said. The service disruption was traced to fiber damage that one of the company’s network partners experienced. The Sunday outage lasted approximately seven hours before WOW said online that it was repaired.

patients once they are stabilized, she said. Without that support, patients released from the center would slide back into crisis, she said. Going forward with the crisis center alone ignores the needs for programming and space, Derusseau said. “It’s a big question,” she said. “Do we only want to address those out in the community with mental illness? Do we just ignore those who have to stay in jail because of the crimes they have committed? I want to address everything.” One issue Derusseau said the commission would have to address in the coming year was security at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center because of changes to the state’s open carry law. Starting in July, the county must allow open carry in public buildings unless there are security measures and armed security personnel on scene. “That’s something we’re going to have to figure out,” she said. “There have already been incidents when people came into that building with a gun. We have to protect our citizens, clients and staff. It’s not going to be cheap or easy at Bert Nash with two parking lots and entrances.” Derusseau will be the only rural Douglas County resident on the County Commission. That and the concerns she’s heard that the commission is concerned only about Lawrence issues have Derusseau thinking about the commission’s future. “If the election had gone the other way, all three commissioners would have been Lawrence residents,” she said. “We are one of the five largest counties in the state, and all the other five counties have gone to at least fivemember commissions. It might be time to look at expanding the Commission to five for equal representation. We have to remember there are people in the county who do not live in Lawrence.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him on Twitter: @ElvynJ

In 2007, Putin told the Munich Security Conference that the United States’ effort to spread its form of democracy was an insidious threat to Russia and other nations and that his government would push back. Russian sabotage of Western computer systems started that same year. Here is a closer look at those incidents:

Days before the 2014 parliamentary elections that followed the ouster of pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych, hackers launched a multipronged attack on Ukraine’s Central Election Commission website with a denial-of-service attack and a separate attempt to fake voting results, according to Ukrainian investigators. They blamed the attacks on a pro-Russia group called CyberBerkut. Hudson analyst Thoburn, who was working as an election observer in Ukraine at the time, said the Ukrainians were able to get around it by deleting their entire system and restoring it from a backup that

In 2007, Estonia accused hackers using Russian IP addresses of a wide-scale denial-of-service attack that shut down the Internet in the former Soviet republic and one of NATO’s newest members. The attack on the Estonian government, newspaper and banking websites appeared to be a response to Estonian authorities’ decision to remove a Soviet World War II memorial known as the Bronze Soldier from a central square in Tallinn, the Baltic nation’s capital. Russia denied the accusation. According to The Guardian newspaper, the attacks came in waves that coincided with riots on May 3, 2007, over the statue, whose removal drew objections from Russia and Russian-speaking Estonians, and on May 8 and 9, when Russia celebrated its victory over Nazi Germany.

was not contaminated. In overt actions against Ukraine, Russia seized the province of Crimea in 2014 and helped armed separatists launch a rebellion in eastern Ukraine. GERMANY

German intelligence in 2015 accused Russia of hacking at least 15 computers belonging to members of Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, and stealing data. Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) said the attack was conducted by a group called Sofacy, which “is being steered by the Russian state.” BfV chief Hans-Georg Maassen told Reuters in November that Moscow has tried to manipulate the media and public opinion through various means, including planting false stories. One in 2015 by Russian media was about a German-Russian girl kidnapped and raped by migrants in Berlin. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she could not rule out Russian interference in Germany’s 2017 federal election through Internet attacks and disinformation campaigns.

BULGARIA

The country’s Central Election Commission had been hacked during a referendum and local elections in 2015 that was almost certainly linked to Russia and a group that had hacked NATO headquarters in Brussels in 2013, then-president Rosen Plevneliev told the BBC in November. A pro-Russian political novice was elected in November to replace Plevneliev. OSCE

The Vienna-based Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, whose tasks include monitoring elections across Europe and the conflict in eastern Ukraine, was attacked in “a major information security incident” in November, spokeswoman Mersiha Causevic Podzic said. The incident “compromised the confidentiality” of the organization’s IT networks, Podzic said. The French daily Le Monde, which first reported the incident, cited a Western intelligence agency attributing the attack to the Russia-linked group APT28, aka Fancy Bear, and Sofacy. Russia, a member of the OSCE, has object-

Russian hackers posing as the “Cyber Caliphate” were suspected of attacking France’s TV5Monde television channel in 2014, causing extensive damage to the company’s computer systems, FireEye, a cyber security firm that examined the attack, told BuzzFeed. The attack involved posting of Islamic State propaganda but appeared to use the same servers and have other similarities with Russian-linked APT28, the group that is a suspect in attacks on the Democratic National Committee, the OSCE and several other European countries. “APT28 focuses on collecting intelligence that would be most useful to a government,” FireEye said. “Specifically, since at least 2007, APT28 has been targeting privileged information related to governments, militaries and security organizations that would likely benefit the Russian government.” The security chief of France’s ruling Socialist Party recently warned that the country’s presidential election this spring is at risk of being hacked. POLAND

Hackers in 2014 attacked the Warsaw Stock Exchange and at least 36 other Polish sites, stealing data and posting graphic images from the Holocaust. The group that claimed responsibility, CyberBerkut, is the same Russian-linked group that attacked Ukrainian sites. The group, posing as Islamic radicals, stole data and released dozens of client login data, causing mayhem for the exchange, according to Bloomberg News. Dan Wallach, a computer scientist at Rice University who testified about election computer security on Capitol Hill in September, said definitive proof of who conducted an attack would reveal methods and sources who would be lost or killed if exposed.

than 20% of the overall population — 68 million people — who had a diagnosable mental health or substance abuse disorder in the past year, the American Psychiatric Association says. In New Hampshire, which has the highest synthetic opioid death rate in the country, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is reminding Trump about some of his campaign promises there. “He pledged to take on this crisis, not immediately make matters much worse,” Shaheen said Friday. “Repealing the Affordable Care Act without a replacement is highly reckless and will come at a high cost for people struggling with substance use disorders.” Almost any route taken on Capitol Hill leads to an unraveling of addiction and mental health coverage for those people. Even the partial ACA repeal Congress is considering would eliminate the tax credits that reduce the premiums for about 85% of those who buy insurance on the federal and state exchanges. Most of those who get tax credits pay less than $100 a month for insurance and have very low out-ofpocket costs that make it possible for them to afford coverage. The partial repeal also would scrap the expansion of Medicaid that gave millions of the lowestincome people in 31 states insurance. Instead, states would most likely get block grants that would require them to make cuts in what’s covered, how much is spent and how many people can get coverage. Or states might get a set amount per person, but the overall goal is cutting spending. If the same legislation passed by Congress but vetoed by President Obama a year ago was enacted, people would still be able to keep their children on their insurance until age 26 and insurers wouldn’t be able to discriminate against people who have pre-existing conditions such as depression or cancer. It also retains the “essential health benefits,” including mental health and addiction coverage, now required for all plans sold on the exchanges. Without the ability to pay for insurance, however, some say that carries little significance. “Some families will do what

they have to do to help their loved ones,” says Amanda Fleckinger, a former heroin addict in Edgewood, Ky., who lost her brother and boyfriend to overdoses in the past 18 months. “If there’s no coverage, I think we would definitely see an increase in deaths.” A 2008 law that required insurers to cover mental health and addiction at the same level they do other diseases is “useless” if there’s no insurance coverage for low-income patients that has to reach parity, says Linda Rosenberg, CEO of the National Council on Behavioral Health. She describes the current debate on Capitol Hill over the ACA’s future as “the most critical time” in her 40-year career as a social worker.

Medication-assisted treatment for addiction “has really come into its own,” she says. Former representative Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., author of the mental health and addiction parity law, calls the ACA “the best mental health and addiction bill ever.” It makes his law’s mandates “real for more people,” he says. New mental health provisions in the recently enacted 21st Century Cures Act that improve access to treatment need “to be combined with strong, affordable insurance,” says psychiatrist Henry Chung of Montefiore Health System in the Bronx.

She knows several people who have overdosed and many others who have died — including one in the last week. uChicago. Up to 30% of the 9,000 or more inmates in the Cook County Jail have a diagnosed mental illness, according to jail data. “The ACA has been a game changer for those who are in and out of Cook County Jail,” says Mark Ishaug, CEO of Thresholds, a Chicago treatment provider. It costs less than $20,000 a year for Threshold’s highest level of community-based mental-health care with a housing voucher, compared with nearly $70,000 a year to keep the patients in jail. About a third of Threshold’s 15,000 clients got coverage through the ACA. Amanda Fleckinger’s parents paid thousands of dollars for her heroin treatment before the ACA, but when her brother Brian was fighting heroin addiction in 2015, Kentucky had expanded Medicaid and he could get treatment. So could her boyfriend, Neil. It wasn’t enough to keep Neil alive, however. He died of an overdose in August when she was nine months pregnant. Now, as she raises their baby alone, she notes it’s “not unheard of for kids to try this stuff as young as in high school,” and she worries what will happen to coverage if they do. With an ACA repeal looming, Sherri Reynolds worries about son Qual, whose slide into mental illness and addiction began after Jarvis killed himself.

Graham, McCain say Trump should agree with elections intel Erin Kelly

USA TODAY

Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham pushed Sunday for greater sanctions against Russia for trying to influence the U.S. election and said President-elect Donald Trump is in danger of being in conflict with congressional Republicans if he doesn’t get tougher on Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two senators, in a joint interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, also said the U.S. intelligence community’s evidence of Russian interference during the American presidential campaign is overwhelming and that Trump should accept those findings. “You can’t go on with your life as a democracy when a foreign entity is trying to compromise the election process,” said Graham, R-S.C. “So Mr. Presidentelect, it is very important that you show leadership here. Let me say this: If after having been briefed by intelligence leaders Donald Trump is still unsure as to what the Russians did, that would be incredibly unnerving to me because the evidence is overwhelming. All I’m asking him is to acknowledge that Russia interfered, and push back.” Trump said Friday he had a “constructive” meeting with intelligence officials but still had questions about assertions that Russia hacked Democrats during last year’s election in order for Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton. In a report released by the intelligence community Friday, U.S. officials said they “assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.” “Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency,” the report said. “We furWASHINGTON

ther assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.” Graham said he and McCain will introduce bipartisan legislation to introduce sanctions against Russia that go beyond what President Obama has done and “hit them in the financial sector and the energy sector where they’re the weakest. ... And we’re going to give President Trump an opportunity to make Russia pay a price for interfering in our election so it will deter others in the future.” Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats suspected of being spies and shut down two Russian facilities in the United States. McCain, R-Ariz., who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said it’s not just political campaigns that the Russians have been hacking. “It is across the board, including military secrets that we have, including the ability to shut down satellites, including the ability to shut down power plants.” Said Graham: “When it comes to Trump and Russia, I am really perplexed. ... I don’t know what drives him on Russia, but I do know this. That if our policies don’t change vis a vis Russia, the worst is yet to come. And the Congress is going to have a different view on Russia than the president-elect does.”

74TH ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS

THE PARTY STARTED

Fittingly, ‘La La Land’ leads the countdown to the Oscars in L.A. Brian Truitt

@briantruitt USA TODAY

The 74th Golden Globe Awards begins the journey to next month’s Oscars in earnest on Sunday in Beverly Hills, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honoring 2016’s best in movies and TV. Here’s a minute-by-minute breakdown of the festivities hosted by Jimmy Fallon: 10:33: Emma Stone takes best actress in a comedy or musical for ... wait for it ... La La Land. “Hope and creativity are two of the most important things in the world, and that’s what this movie is about,” she says. “To any creative person who’s had a door slammed in their face – metaphorically or physically — or actors who’ve had their auditions cut off or waited for a callback that didn’t come, for anybody anywhere really who feels like giving up sometimes or finds it in themselves to get up and keep moving forward, I share this with them.” 10:25: Atlanta‘s Donald Glover hits the stage for a second time to accept his Globe for actor in a TV comedy. “I grew up in a house where magic wasn’t allowed so everybody in here was magical to me. Every time I saw a movie or heard your voices or saw you, I was like, ‘Oh, magic is from people.’ We’re the ones who in a weird way tell a story or lie to children so they do stuff that we never thought was possible,” says Glover, thanking son and the mother of his child for “making me believe in people again and things being possible.”

Dear Annie: I have a rare child, one who asks nothing for herself and gives generously to others. Each year for her birthday and Christmas, I try to find something, anything, my daughter might like as a gift. She smiles sweetly and says nothing or says, ‘‘I’m good.’’ Yet she works hard to make other lives easier and happier every day. When her dad had a stroke, she was my assistant, no matter how messy and how hard the task. When her dad passed away, she and I clung to each other for comfort. Then we got the news that her uncle was very ill. We moved from our home in Florida to Alabama to help him. She lost her school, her friends, a community to walk in without fear and so much more. Once again, she gave

her all, helping to bring her uncle back from barely being able to get out of bed to being able to plant in his beloved garden once more. If he made any noise, she ran to his room to see whether she could help. Her room was next to his, and mine was at the other end of the house. She smiles at everyone and makes no judgments regarding color, sex, religion, wealth or anything else others notice. She accepts one

‘Big Fan’ is rather sad, disturbing I’ve never overestimated the sophistication of ‘‘The Bachelor’’ audience. So I didn’t have high expectations for “Big Fan” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG), the new game show debuting just after that romantic reality series. Hosted by Andy Richter, ‘‘Big Fan’’ pits three regular people who claim to be a particular celebrity’s most avid and trivia-savvy follower. The three play a game of questions and answers in the presence of their chosen idol and betray a frightening familiarity with their subject. Every new segment introduces the three contestants with a clip where they explain how they have devoted a rather large portion of their free time to following their chosen dreamboat. If these people were 12, it might seem amusing, but as the first group is well into middle age, I found them rather sad, almost disturbed. While much reality programming asks us to laugh at the ‘‘regular’’ people who exchange dignity for a fleeting moment onscreen, on ‘‘Big Fan’’ the collateral damage extends much further. What career celebrity with a scintilla of cool would submit to this fawning devotion? Matthew McConaughey shows up in the first episode, sacrificing any shred of mystery to the gods of publicity and Disney programming. Other segments will feature quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Kristen Bell (‘‘The Good Place’’). ‘‘Big Fan’’ is an offshoot of a segment originally seen on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show. Whatever Andy Richter gets paid to deliver atrocious puns and oversee this pathetic enterprise is simply not enough. O British comedian Jamali Maddix travels the globe to rub shoulders with angry extremists on the new series “Hate Thy Neighbor” (9 p.m., Viceland, TV14). He begins his world tour of intolerance with American white supremacists and then visits black supremacists who have organized to resist them. Over the course of the series he will spend time with extremists on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide and report back on his travels to audiences in comedy clubs while trying to find some bleak humor and insights from his peculiar pilgrimage. O Tucker Carlson will take over Megyn Kelly’s old “Kelly File” (8 p.m., Fox News) time slot. Kelly will move to NBC later this year. Tonight’s other highlights

O “Antiques Roadshow” (7

p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) visits Fort Worth, Texas, and discovers memorabilia associated with the first Super Bowl champions.

and all. At church breakfasts every Sunday, she proudly says the prayer of thanks, and before every sermon, she raises her voice in song. This rare and beautiful young woman is 38 years old, and although often hurt by other people, she holds no hate in her heart. She was born with Down syndrome. That she holds no bias in her heart makes me wonder: Are the rest of us ‘‘normal,’’ or is she? I think she is, because she acts the way all humans should instead of as they do. If you want to print my real name, that works for me, for I am so proud of my generous, loving child. — Proud of My Daughter Dear Proud: Thank you for sharing your daughter’s generosity.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Jan. 9: This year you often find that you need to respond quickly to various situations. If you are single, you meet people easily, but you’ll want to relate to someone who does not get upset at you being yourself. If you are attached, the two of you build a stronger relationship. 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’ll ask a lot of questions and find others’ responses to be interesting, if not confusing. Tame your feisty mood. Tonight: Out late. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You might want to share an opinion, but you could be hesitant, as you feel strongly that you are right. Tonight: Indulge a little. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Understand what needs to happen between you and another person. Tonight: No one can resist a conversation or a fun exchange with you. Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Know when to nix a project and not worry about others’ reactions so much. Tonight: Get some extra R and R; you’re going to need it. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You have a lot on your mind. A friend might be full of questions. Tonight: Hang out. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You might feel as if you need to force someone’s

her example. Dear Annie: You could not be more wrong in your answer to ‘‘Scratching My Head in NH,’’ whose husband’s family stays in touch with his ex-wife but does not include the ex in family affairs that this new wife attends. This is perfectly acceptable. Many people who have formed deep, loving bonds of friendship with an ex’s family should not be expected to drop the ex because two people find they cannot live together. Many people in the position of ending a marriage also stay in touch for the sake of children and other family members. You really need to rethink your answer. — Remaining a Friend — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

hand to get a response and some clarification. You likely will want to try dealing with someone else — anyone else — if you can. Tonight: A must appearance. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ An element of mystery surrounds someone at a distance. You might not be quite sure how to read this person. Tonight: Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ You could be far more involved in a difficult situation than you realize. Tonight: Be with a favorite person at a favorite place. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ You are willing to go along for the ride and allow someone else to call the shots. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ You might be pushing others away without even realizing it. Tonight: Call it a night. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You could be much more playful than you have been in a while. However, others might be more serious, as they are having difficulty understanding what is going on.

KANSAS BASKETBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Fouls bigger issue for this KU team

he pattern repeats itself with uncanny regularity. Kansas basketball coach picks the time to crank up the public criticism of his team in a specific area, hammers it home behind closed practice doors and the players respond to the challenge in impressive fashion. First-year Texas Tech basketball coach Chris Beard saw it play out repeatedly with Self’s teams over the years, many of them coming when Beard was an assistant at Tech under Bob Knight and then Pat Knight. “I knew we were going to play against an inspired Kansas team,” Beard said after his Red Raiders lost to Kansas, 83-68, Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse. “As a competitor, I would have much rather Kansas play better against TCU and Kansas State. I knew what I was getting into. I know coach Self and I know (assistant) Norm (Roberts). I could just imagine what their practices were like the past couple of days.” Beard knew it, so he shared it with his players, making them understand how hard they would have to work to score on Kansas. “We did everything we could with our players to explain, ‘You’re about to play not only against a great team, but you’re about to play a team that’s motivated to play great defense.’ I thought they took us out of a lot of our stuff,” Beard said. “The first pass in our offense was difficult tonight. They changed up their ball-screen coverages on our shooters, so I give them a lot of credit for how they played defense tonight.” So nothing has changed in regards to Self’s ability to reach his players in a way that makes his wishes their commands. Even so, plenty has changed as to how difficult it will be for this team to defend up to KU’s normal defensive standards under Self. Udoka Azubuike’s season-ending wrist injury left KU with a seven-man rotation and without a traditional rim protector. The lack of depth means smothering fouls near the rim to make opponents earn their points at the freethrow line, Self’s preferred way of doing business, won’t be as available a strategy this season. “We’ve had teams before where we had enough big guys if it wasn’t a hard foul that would be reason for guys to get their butts jumped in film session,” Self said. “I’ve said many times, ‘Like we care if you have two fouls. It makes no difference to us because we have somebody who is just as good or close to as good that we can put in.’ So that’s how you keep guys minutes’ balanced.” That approach worked in many ways with the typical Kansas depth.

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) celebrates a late, second-half 3-pointer next to Texas Tech forward Zach Smith (11) during Saturday’s game against the Red Raiders at Allen Fieldhouse.

Graham keeping his focus on the win, not the scores By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas junior Devonté Graham entered Saturday night’s home game against Texas Tech averaging 12.5 points, 5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game, but had yet to lead the Jayhawks in scoring. For a player who many believed could wind up as the Jayhawks’ leading scorer for the season — and, really, still could by the end of the year — those numbers, though good, were far from what was expected. That perspective was from the outside. But for Graham, who is starting in coach Bill Self’s backcourt for the second year in a row, his focus

‘‘

The last couple games, I wasn’t shooting the ball as well as I had been. But I wasn’t thinking about it as a slump. I don’t really care about scoring that much. It’s just the little things that I like that help the team win.”

— Kansas junior Devonté Graham

entering the season was on everything but putting points on the board. Through 15 games, the 6-foot-2 junior from Raleigh, N. C., has been a stat sheet stuffer. He has led the team in assists five times, steals six times and even been the Jayhawks’ blocked shot king on two different occasions. Saturday night, though, during the Jayhawks’ 85-68 victory over the Red Raiders, Graham found his scoring

touch again and revealed, after the game, that it really never went anywhere. “The last couple games, I wasn’t shooting the ball as well as I had been,” he admitted. “But I wasn’t thinking about it as a slump. I don’t really care about scoring that much. It’s just the little things that I like that help the team win.” While his backcourt partner-in-crime, Frank Mason III, closed the game with a flurry

and poured in 26 points to lead Kansas in scoring for the 12th time in 15 games, Graham got going early, scoring the first five points of the game and finishing the first half with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting. For the night, Graham tallied 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting (4-of-8 from 3-point range), good for his fifth career 20-point game and to move him into 18th place on KU’s all-time 3-pointers list with 127. “I felt good,” Graham said. “Got a good night’s rest, woke up feeling pretty good, went and got me some breakfast, just (was) feeling good all day. Took me a little nap

With victory over Dolphins, Steelers set to face Chiefs next Sunday By Will Graves AP Sports Writer

Steelers 30, Dolphins 12 Pittsburgh — Le’Veon Bell spent the last two Januarys watching helplessly while the Pittsburgh Steelers tried to make a deep postseason run without him. The ever fluid running back made up for lost time Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. So did Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, the other members of Pittsburgh’s “Big Three” together in the playoffs for the first time. Pounding away relentless at a defense that hardly seemed interested in

stopping him at frigid Heinz Field, Bell ran for a franchise postseason record 167 yards and two scores. The Steelers overwhelmed the beaten-up and mistakeprone Miami Dolphins 3012 on Sunday. “We wanted to go out there and make a statement,” Bell said. Bell, Brown and Roethlisberger, who wore a walking boot on his right foot afterward, more than wiped away the bitter aftertaste of a 30-15 whipping at the hands of the Dolphins in mid-October. Given a shot at redemption, Pittsburgh didn’t let it go to waste. The Steelers (12-5) led by two touchdowns before

the game was 10 minutes old on long touchdown passes from Roethlisberger to Brown. Miami never got closer than 11. “Le’Veon was beastly,” said Brown, who finished with five receptions for 124 yards and the two scores. “All day, controlling the line of scrimmage, just running guys over and finding a way to put the ball in the end zone. Any time he’s playing like that, we’re going to be a hard team to beat.” Certainly, at least, teams like the Dolphins (10-7).

Rodgers and the secondary blanketed the Packers’ talented receiving corps, and a few boos even rained down from the stands after New York built a 6-0 lead on two field goals by Robbie Gould. As it turned out, Rodgers was just getting started. “We hit a Hail Mary. That got us going,” Rodgers said.

Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier did them one better, racing around shirtless — as if to send a message that his team is plenty comfortable playing this time of year. It sure looked like it. The Steelers scored on their first three possessions, and Miami’s playoff victory drought was well on its way to 17 years and counting. Miami running back Jay Ajayi managed just 33 yards on 16 carries, or 171 yards less than he piled up against Pittsburgh in October.

or a freshman who Kansas basketball coach Bill Self asks to do, well, just about everything, Josh Jackson never becomes overwhelmed with his job responsibilities. The 6-foot-8 wing from Detroit flashed his abundant strengths at various points of the Jayhawks’ 85-68 win over Texas Tech Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse, where he scored 17 points, secured a game-high 10 rebounds, blocked three shots, took away two steals, dished one assist, hit a 3-pointer and played a starring role in his team’s overall improved defensive intensity. The future NBA lottery pick supplied the home crowd with his standard supply of savage highlight dunks, too, but it was another area on offense where his endless potential glowed. Half of Jackson’s rebounds came on Kansas misses, and when he attacked the glass and came away with the ball, the Red Raiders didn’t have much success in stopping him. His five offensive rebounds directly led to eight of KU’s 23 secondchance points. Jackson shot 7-for-15 on the night, and in the first half
