KANSAS SUPREME COURT

Justices reject KNEA suit on teacher tenure

HOW WILL TRUMP IMPACT KANSAS?

——

Democrats plan bill that would restore protections By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — In a unanimous ruling Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court rejected a challenge brought by the state’s largest teachers union to a 2014 law that repealed tenure rights for veteran teachers. Democratic leaders in the Kansas Legislature quickly responded, saying they plan to introduce a bill to restore teacher tenure rights, also known as due process rights. The Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, challenged the law, arguing that it was contained in a bill that included both appropriations and changes in substantive law, which they claimed was a violation of the Kansas Constitution’s one-subject rule. Article 2, Section 16 of the Kansas Constitution provides, “No bill shall contain more than one

subject, except appropriation bills and bills for revision or codification of statutes.” Writing for the court, Justice Dan Biles acknowledged that KNEA had standing to bring the lawsuit, but that the Kansas Constitution “does not forbid combining appropriations and general legislation made into a single bill, so long as all provisions of that bill address the same subject.”

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

> TENURE, 8A

Several of Donald Trump’s policy proposals and positions are of particular interest to Kansans. Here’s a glance at what could change during Trump’s time in office, based on statements he has made:

Some Republican lawmakers seek school funding cut By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Some top Republican legislators in Kansas are looking to cut aid to public schools significantly to help close a hole in the state budget, a move that would fly in the face of past state Supreme Court rulings on education funding. Such a proposal also would defy the Legislature’s shift to the center. GOP lawmakers who are pushing the idea want to avoid accounting moves proposed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, arguing that they’re gimmicks that don’t solve budget problems. Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican, said Friday that she’s drafting a bill to cut spending to close the projected

ACA AND MEDICAID Trump has promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and his administration will decide whether Kansas can continue operating Medicaid as a privatized managed care system.

‘‘

Everything will be on the table. School funding just happens to be where a lot of our money is.”

ENERGY POLICY Trump plans to end the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which could be a setback for the state’s growing wind energy industry.

— Senate Ways and Means Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick

AGRICULTURE Warren Parker of the Kansas Farm Bureau says Kansas farmers are optimistic about Trump’s promise to reduce federal regulations on the industry.

$342 million shortfall in the state’s budget. She said it would reduce aid to schools by between $90 million and $125 million, and she hopes to have it ready next week. Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, suggested that legislators will pursue even larger cuts in education funding. He said public schools probably could “stomach” a $200 million reduction before the summer.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

ith every new administration in Washington, D.C., comes an expectation of change. For some, those expectations are wrapped in a sense of hope and optimism; and for others, depending on one’s political leanings, they’re wrapped with fear and apprehension. That was certainly true eight years ago when Barack Obama was sworn into office following his “hope and change” campaign. And it is perhaps even more true now with the inauguration of his successor, Donald J. Trump, as the 45th President of the United States. Many of the changes Trump has suggested would affect Americans, and perhaps the world, uniformly. But the state of Kansas and its economy have particular issues and concerns at stake, and so I’ve tried to put together a list of the top five policy areas in which Kansas may have a unique set of interests. No. 1: Medicaid and Obamacare I list this first only because it’s at the top of many state lawmakers’ agendas this year, and because it has been thrust into front-page news in recent days.

> TRUMP, 2A

Trump has proposed a $1 trillion dollar infrastructure program that would upgrade roads, bridges, tunnels and airports nationwide.

IMMIGRATION Although Trump’s specific plans for immigration policy are unclear, any action he takes will likely be felt in areas such as southwest Kansas, where immigrant labor plays a major role in the economy.

One of the highlights of the Trump campaign was his oft-repeated promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act, which he has dubbed “a disaster.” “On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare,” Trump stated on his campaign website. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 96,304 Kansans signed up for subsidized individual health policies this year through the exchange markets that were set up under the ACA, and another 150,000 or so could receive KanCare coverage if Kansas takes advantage of the Medicaid expansion provisions of the ACA. Earlier this week, a Medicaid expansion bill was introduced in the Kansas House, with apparent bipartisan support. But on Thursday, the day before Trump’s inauguration, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer was in Washington meeting with congressional committees about the future of Medicaid in the Trump administration. What Colyer and many others expect is that the Trump administration and Republican-led Congress want to convert Medicaid into a block grant program, presumably one with fewer requirements attached. Currently, the federal government pays a share of the actual cost of the program in each state, and there are a whole host of requirements each state must meet in order to qualify for the funding. Kansas is currently operating under a waiver of those rules so it can run Medicaid in Kansas, now known as KanCare, as a privatized, managed care system. That means private insurance companies that now run the program are paid a flat rate for each beneficiary, known as a “capitated rate,” and they are responsible for managing the care of each patient. But the state’s application to renew that waiver for another year, taking it through 2018, was denied this week after federal officials cited the program for multiple deficiencies, many of which they said threatened the health and well-being of Medicaid patients. Colyer brushed that off as being politically motivated and a “parting shot by the Obama administration on its way out the door.” But it will be up to the new Trump administration to decide (a) whether Kansas can continue operating a privatized managed care system, and (b) whether it will be allowed to expand Medicaid as current law allows, assuming for the sake of argument that an expansion bill can get through the Legislature and over an almostcertain veto by Gov. Sam Brownback.

No. 5: Immigration No conversation about Donald Trump would be complete without mentioning his stance on immigration. He launched his campaign in June 2015 with the nowfamous remark: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” He followed that up in December 2015 by saying he also wanted a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Since then, his statements have varied whenever asked what, exactly, he would do about Mexican and Muslim immigration. But whatever actions he takes, they are bound to have a significant impact in Kansas, especially in areas like southwest Kansas where the meatpacking industry is heavily reliant on immigrant labor, as well as in university towns like Lawrence where international students from all parts of the globe are a significant feature in campus culture. — This is an excerpt from Peter Hancock’s Statehouse Live column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Kansas lost 9,300 jobs in 2016, Labor Department says By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — December was another month of job losses for the state of Kansas, particularly in the private sector, the Kansas Department of Labor reported Friday. At the same time, the size of the civilian labor force grew slightly in December, and the statewide unemployment rate fell a tenth of a point, to 4.2 percent. Seasonally adjusted figures show the state lost 500 nonfarm jobs during December and 9,300 jobs since December 2015.

Private-sector jobs fell by 1,100 over the month and 9,400 for the year. “Rounding out the year, preliminary estimates show fewer jobs in the state than one year ago,” the department’s senior labor economist, Tyler Tenbrink, said. “Estimates of the size of the labor force improved in December but remain lower than one year ago.” On a nonseasonally adjusted basis, using a strict headcount of employment, Kansas lost 6,300 nonfarm jobs over the month, including 4,900 private-sector jobs. Since December 2015,

Kansas lost 9,500 nonfarm jobs on a nonadjusted basis, including 9,700 private-sector jobs. The biggest job losses over the month were in the financial activities sector, which includes finance, insurance and real estate businesses. That sector lost an estimated 1,300 jobs during the month, or 1.3 percent. That was followed by education and health services, which lost about 900 jobs, or 0.5 percent. The mining and logging sector, which includes the oil and gas industries — which Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration

often cite as a main source of the state’s sluggish economy — lost only about 100 jobs over the month and 700 jobs over the year. But those 700 lost jobs represented 8.6 percent of the industry. The Lawrence-area labor market lost about 100 jobs over the month but gained 200 jobs over the year, the report said. Lawrence’s unemployment rate in December stood at 3.2 percent, unchanged from November but up one-tenth of a point from a year ago. Jobs in the five-county Topeka metropolitan area remained nearly

unchanged since November, but the area lost more than 1,700 jobs over the year. Its unemployment rate rose two-tenths of a point in December, to 3.9 percent. The Wichita area had a relatively stable jobs market, gaining about 170 jobs over the month but losing about 300 jobs over the year. Its unemployment rate in December stood at 4.3 percent, the highest of any metropolitan area in the state and up one-tenth of a point from November. A similar pattern occurred in the five counties on the Kansas side

The company currently has about 100 employees at its Lawrence location.

The judge presiding over the lawsuit filed by the City of Lawrence alleging Oread hotel developer Thomas Fritzel engaged in a fraudulent tax scheme has ordered mediation in the case. The mediation order was filed in federal court Friday, and said that following a discussion with attorneys representing the city and Fritzel, the decision had been made that the parties should meet Fritzel with a mediator. “After thorough discussion with counsel regarding the responsive pleading deadlines and current posture of the case, the court enters the following orders: Based upon the discussions during the conference, the court believes this case would benefit from early mediation.” No further explanation for the order was given, only that the order was made following a telephone conference on Thursday that was requested by the parties in the lawsuit to discuss initial scheduling of the case.

Hunt tells me that the center has a little more than 300 students — both the high school and adult variety — enrolled for its vocational programs this spring. That number is steady from the fall semester, but is up from about 150 students at this time last year. Hunt is projecting that next fall’s enrollment will be between 350 to 400 students. He said the center likely will have two new programs to offer students: an automotive repair major and a program to train people wanting to work in power plants, green energy or other utility fields.

a lawsuit against Fritzel, Oread Wholesale, Oread Inn, DFC Company of Lawrence, as well as any other individuals who may have aided in the alleged scheme. The lawsuit alleges personal purchases and faked retail sales as grounds to terminate the multimillion-dollar incentive agreement the city made with The Oread hotel, 1200 Oread Ave. Friday was the deadline for Fritzel to file a response to the city’s allegations, but because of the mediation order, the deadline has been stayed, according to the order. The judge, Gwynne E. Birzer, ordered the parties to participate in mediation with mediator Jerry Palmer on Feb. 14. Following the mediation, the court will initiate a telephone conference with representatives for both parties to discuss the status, according to the order. The status conference is set for 10 a.m. on Feb. 21. Attorneys representing the city and Fritzel could not be immediately reached for comment. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314. Follow her on Twitter: @RochelleVerde

“Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial reconciliation can bring only superficial healing.” ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Talent show to celebrate kids, benefit schools By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Fifteen-year-old singer-songwriter Ellie Williams has performed everywhere from Los Angeles’ storied Catalina Jazz Club — where Dizzy Gillespie, Joshua Redman and Wynton Marsalis have played — and Disney California Adventure Park to frequent appearances at downtown Lawrence’s Five Bar and Tables. Still, even with her stacked resume, Williams says she’s a little nervous for her next gig, Sunday’s Ovation! USD 497 Talent Show. Slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive, the firstever event will feature more than a dozen acts from Lawrence’s middle and high schools, with all proceeds from ticket sales benefiting the Lawrence Schools Foundation. For Williams, a sophomore at Free State High School, it’s a chance to share her music with new audiences. It’s also, she says, a rare glimpse into the talents of her peers across the Lawrence school district. “I love performing, and I still do shows downtown with my friends and stuff like that,” says Williams, who describes herself as a mainly straightforward pop act. “And I think this is just an opportunity for me to share my music and play for other people.” You might say that Ovation! is for kids, by kids. Graham Edmonds, a junior at Lawrence High School, originally devised the idea as a capstone project while interning at the Lied Center last summer. At first, the 16-year-old envisioned it as a small show in the Lied Center Pavilion to benefit the Lawrence Schools Foundation. It grew from there, obviously, and soon ended up in the Lied Center’s main auditorium, which seats just fewer than 2,000 people. Now, Edmonds is juggling all the responsibilities a show of this size entails — including serving as executive producer and master of ceremonies, along with Brian Hanni, the voice of the Jayhawks, on Sunday. He says to expect a diverse lineup that runs the gamut from violinists and martial artists to aerial silk performers and Southwest Middle School’s Music Theatre Mondays. “The level of talent was really just amazing,” Edmonds said of the audition process. “It goes to show how much talent is present in Lawrence. I think we’re pretty lucky to have an artistically inclined community, and I’d say that doing this show has helped to bring

Republicans in the Trump Era MEMO TO: Sens. Moran and Roberts; Reps. Jenkins, Marshall and Yoder As Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th U.S. president, you and all your congressional colleagues have a solemn obligation to support your co-equal branch of government. Above all else, this means using your independent judgment, protecting the Constitution and working to enhance the security and well-being of all Americans. In this highly partisan — even tribal — age, as Republican legislators you bear a special responsibility, given unified GOP control of the federal government. This would be true, no matter the president, but your burden is particularly great with the inexperienced and erratic Donald Trump. So, I urge you to do your duty as you engage with the president and his administration. You need not abandon your conservative, Republican principles, but you must protect the Congress, your constituents and the American people, especially on the following: First, U.S.-Russian relations. Allow — even encourage — investigations to go forward as to the Russian involvement in American elections. Be skeptical of agreements that Trump and Russian President Vladimir

Burdett Loomis

Putin might reach. Make sure that all relevant agencies, from State to Defense to Commerce, are completely involved in negotiations. Remember Ronald Reagan’s great line, “Trust, but verify.” And think twice before trusting. Second, fully support the U.S. Constitution, most notably with regard to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free exercise of religion, and

the emoluments clause that prohibits all elected officials from benefiting from foreign gifts or payments. This last issue is difficult, given the lack of constitutional precedent. I implore you to think as the late Justice Antonin Scalia might have, harking back to the framers’ real fear of foreign involvement in our politics. Do not naively believe Trump’s promises or take this issue lightly. The very independence of the nation is at stake. Third, health care. You have all vigorously and relentlessly attacked Obamacare. Fair enough. Now the health care ball is completely in your court. Take your legislative roles seriously and don’t pass a hurried bill that will cast at least 18 million Americans out of the health care system. Nor should you adopt some kind of “fig leaf” legislation that will leave those millions without effective care. Sen. Jerry Moran has made a good start here, noting “Health care is so important it ought to have input from all members of Congress, all parts of the country and all constituencies, as compared to just a Republican plan.” Fourth, the truth. If, or rather when, Trump lies, call him out rather than remaining silent. You will have many opportunities here. Partisanship and fear of reprisals may hold

Obama’s revealing final act Washington — Barack Obama did not go out quietly. His unquiet final acts were, in part, overshadowed by a successor who refused to come in quietly and, in part, by Obama’s own endless, sentimental farewell tour. But there was nothing nostalgic or sentimental about Obama’s last acts. Two of them were simply shocking. Perhaps we should have known. At the 2015 White House correspondents dinner, he joked about whether he had a bucket list: “Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list.” Turns out, he wasn’t kidding. Commuting the sentence of Chelsea Manning, one of the great traitors of our time, is finger-in-the-eye willfulness. Obama took 28 years off the sentence of a soldier who stole and then released through WikiLeaks almost half a million military reports plus another quarter-million State Department documents. The cables were embarrassing; the military secrets were almost certainly deadly. They jeopardized the lives not just of American soldiers on two active fronts — Iraq and Afghanistan — but of locals who were, at great peril, secretly aiding and abetting us. After Manning’s documents release, the Taliban “went on a killing spree” (according to intelligence sources quoted by Fox News) of those who fit the description of individuals working with the United States. Moreover, we will be involved in many shadowy conflicts throughout the world. Locals will have to choose between us or our enemies. Would you choose a side that is so forgiving of a leaker who betrays her country — and you? Even the word “leaker” is misleading. Leak makes it sound like a piece of information a whistleblower gives Woodward and Bernstein to expose misdeeds in high office. This was nothing of the sort. It was the indiscriminate dumping of a mountain of national security secrets certain to bring harm to American troops, allies and interests. Obama considered Manning’s 35year sentence excessive. On the contrary. It was lenient. Manning could have been — and in previous ages, might well have been — hanged for such treason. Now she walks after seven years. What makes this commutation so spectacularly in-your-face is its hypocrisy. Here is a president who spent weeks banging the drums over the harm inflicted by WikiLeaks with its release of stolen materials and emails during the election campaign. He demanded a report immediately. He imposed sanctions on Russia. He preened about the sanctity of the American political process. Over what? What exactly was released? A campaign chairman’s private emails and Democratic National Committee chatter, i.e. campaign gossip, backbiting, indiscretions and cynicism. The usual stuff, embarrassing but not

A more likely explanation, however, is that these are acts not of calculation but of authenticity. This is Obama being Obama. “

dangerous. No national security secrets, no classified material, no exposure of anyone to harm, just to ridicule and opprobrium. The other last-minute Obama bombshell occurred four weeks earlier when, for the first time in nearly a half-century, the United States abandoned Israel on a crucial Security Council resolution, allowing the passage of a condemnation that will plague both Israel and its citizens for years to come. After eight years of reassurance, Obama seized the chance — free of political accountability for himself and his potential Democratic successor — to do permanent damage to Israel. (The U.S. has no power to reverse the Security Council resolution.) Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. who went on to be a great Democratic senator, once argued passionately that in the anti-American, anti-democratic swamp of the U.N., America should act unwaveringly in opposition and never give in to the jackals. Obama joined the jackals. Why? To curry favor with the international left? After all, Obama leaves office as a relatively young man of 55. His next chapter could very well be as a leader on the international stage, perhaps at the U.N. (secretary-general?) or some transnational (ostensibly) human rights organization. What better demonstration of bona fides than a gratuitous attack on Israel? Or the aboutface on Manning and WikiLeaks? Or the freeing of a still unrepentant Puerto Rican terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera, also pulled off with three days remaining in his presidency. A more likely explanation, however, is that these are acts not of calculation but of authenticity. This is Obama being Obama. He leaves office as he came in: a man of the left, but possessing the intelligence and discipline to suppress his more radical instincts. As of Nov. 9, 2016, suppression was no longer necessary. We’ve just gotten a glimpse of his real self. From now on, we shall see much more of it. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

you back from responding, but you must speak out. A president should not be able to blatantly lie and get away with it. Don’t let him. Fifth, given your majority status, provide committees the time and resources to work hard on important issues and actually address complex problems like health care and trade, rather than simply adopting ideological positions masquerading as legislation. Finally, regardless of what Trump says or tweets, remain civil in your discourse and in how you approach the opposition. To recycle an overused but apt phrase, we are truly in “uncharted waters.” Republicans in the House and Senate are in the position to act responsibly, to seriously oversee this administration’s actions and to protect the rights of the Congress and their constituents. This is what an independent legislature does. With your many opportunities come immense responsibilities. The next four years will offer you continual chances to represent all Kansans with independence, integrity and energy. For all of us, please rise to meet these daunting tests. — Burdett Loomis is a professor of political science at the University of Kansas.

Trump’s dreadful inaugural address Washington — Twenty minutes into his presidency, Donald Trump, who is always claiming to have made, or to be about to make, astonishing history, had done so. Living down to expectations, he had delivered the most dreadful inaugural address in history. Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s White House counselor, had promised that the speech would be “elegant.” This is not the adjective that came to mind as he described “American carnage.” That was a phrase the likes of which has never hitherto been spoken at an inauguration. Oblivious to the moment and the setting, the always remarkable Trump proved that something dystopian can be strangely exhilarating: In what should have been a civic liturgy serving national unity and confidence, he vindicated his severest critics by serving up reheated campaign rhetoric about “rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape” and an education system producing students “deprived of all knowledge.” Yes, all. But cheer up, because the carnage will vanish if we “follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American.” “Simple” is the right word. Because in 1981 the inauguration ceremony for a cheerful

man from the American West was moved from the Capitol’s East Portico to its West Front, Trump stood facing west, down the Mall with its stately monuments celebrating some of those who made America great — Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln. Looking out toward where the fields of the republic roll on, Trump, a Gatsby-for-our-time, said: “What truly matters is not which party controls our government but whether our government is controlled by the people.” Well. “A dependence on the people,” James Madison wrote, “is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.” He meant the checks and balances of our constitutional architecture. They are necessary because, as Madison anticipated and as the nation was reminded on Friday, “Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm.” — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Schmidt, whose office defended the new law, responded with a statement: “Today’s decision is protective of the legislative power granted by the Kansas Constitution and respects the important constitutional principle of separation of powers.” KNEA said it would continue to “pursue all avenues including potential legal action” to restore teachers’ due process rights. “We believe that this fundamental right enables professional educators to advocate fully for their students without fear of punitive reprisal,” KNEA said in a statement. “Further, due process protection serves to make teaching in Kansas an attractive proposition along with fair compensation and benefits, a stable KPERS system, and the right to have a say in their own working conditions through collective bargaining.” Democratic leaders in the Legislature, meanwhile, said they would introduce a bill next week to reinstate the due process

statutes for teachers. “I think the appropriate response is to restore due process rights for teachers, and we plan to introduce that bill,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, said during a news conference Friday. Hensley said Democrats would make a formal announcement on Wednesday to unveil a number of initiatives, including restoration of teacher due process rights. The important question, though, is whether moderate Republicans who, along with Democrats, made substantial gains in the 2016 elections, particularly in the House, will go along with that. House Democratic leader Jim Ward, of Wichita, said he didn’t know how many Republicans would support such a measure, “but we’re going to give them an opportunity to weigh in on that important public policy in the next couple of weeks.” — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222.

The bill, H.B. 2506 in the 2014 session, was passed in response to the court’s ruling in the ongoing school finance case that said certain kinds of “equalization aid” under the school funding formula at that time were being distributed inequitably, in violation of the Constitution. The bill, titled “an act concerning education,” cut funding for several state agencies and shifted $130 million to public schools for the 2013-2014 and 20142015 academic years. But it also contained substantive changes in law, including one that had been on the books for decades that guaranteed teachers who had been employed in a district for a certain number of years were entitled to a due process hearing before they could be summarily dismissed or nonrenewed for another year. That provision was thought to be important for getting support for the bill from conservative Republicans who thought the Supreme Court had overstepped its bounds in the ruling.

Their comments were in line with statements from Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, that Kansas should make immediate, structural changes in its budget to close the shortfall. Brownback has instead proposed liquidating a state investment fund and using the cash to back internal government borrowing to be paid back over seven years. “Everything will be on the table,” McGinn said of her proposal. “School funding just happens to be where a lot of our money is.” Talk of cutting education funding comes as Brownback, legislators and educators await a decision from the Kansas Supreme Court on whether the state is spending enough money on its public schools to provide an adequate education to every child. The court heard arguments in September in a lawsuit filed by four districts in 2010. Kansas has been in and out of lawsuits over education funding for several decades, and past Supreme Court decisions have forced the state to boost spending. Also, other legislators, including some Republicans, are skeptical such cuts can pass. Voters ousted two dozen of

Brownback’s conservative allies in last year’s elections, giving both GOP moderates and Democrats more power. “It’s somewhat of an aggressive move to take while we’re waiting for a Supreme Court decision on school finance,” said House Majority Leader Don Hineman, a Dighton Republican. The state has struggled to balance its budget since Republican legislators slashed income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in what even some GOP voters now view as a failed attempt to stimulate the economy. Many legislators are ready to roll back part of those tax cuts but acknowledge they can’t raise new revenues quickly enough to close a budget gap by June 30. “While Governor Brownback’s proposed budget makes cuts to education unnecessary, it is the Legislature’s prerogative to propose such cuts,” spokeswoman Melika Willoughby said in an emailed statement. When legislators have trimmed education funding in the middle of past school years, the state’s 286 local districts have reduced programs, cut schools days and left

positions unfilled. “I don’t think there’s any question that you’ll see fewer teachers, and you’re going to see larger class sizes,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. But top Republicans argue that districts could tap contingency funds they’ve been putting away for emergencies. On Jan. 1, schools had $201 million of those funds, part of nearly $1.1 billion in cash reserves they carried into the new calendar year. Districts have begun each school year with between $190 million and $217 million in contingency funds since 2010. “It’s a possible way for them to get through the cuts,” McGinn said. House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican, said legislators will review data about individual districts to determine whether cutting their aid is feasible. But Hensley said school districts build up contingency funds because they’re uncertain about the future and want to have a cushion for difficult economic times. “That’s not our money,” he said.

They were obvious in omission as well: Trump did not mention his vanquished opponent seated nearby, Hillary Clinton, until a private luncheon inside the Capitol. At 70, he is the oldest man to assume the office and seemingly in a hurry to move his agenda, Trump wasted no time outlining his priorities: creating jobs, securing borders and eliminating “rad-

WASHINGTON As President Trump delivered his inaugural address Friday, his staff posted a variety of proposals ranging from an “American First Foreign Policy” to killing President Obama’s climate action plan — echoing his campaign website. “For too long, we’ve been held back by burdensome regu-

lations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule,” reads the top issue brief on the new president’s White House website. After the inauguration ceremony, Trump went inside the U.S. Capitol and signed documents that included formal nominations of Cabinet members and a waiver that allows recently retired Gen. James Mattis to become secretary of Defense. The new president also signed a proclamation declaring a “national day of patriotism.” Shortly after Trump took the

oath of office, the government switched over the White House website from outgoing President Obama’s to Trump’s. (Obama’s is archived under the Presidential Records Act.)

Trump also resumed tweeting within an hour of his swearing-in. “We will bring back our jobs,” he said during a post-inaugural tweetstorm. “We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth — and we will bring back our dreams!” Policy proposals on the website included ramped-up cyber warfare and changing the terms of trade deals, issues discussed in the campaign. The front page of the Trumpstyle White House website echoes his campaign by proclaiming, “Let’s Make America Great Again, Together!” It also quotes his inaugural address: “The Movement Continues — The Work Begins.”

Protests turn violent near parade

Police arrest 200-plus protesters, some carrying crowbars, hammers Kevin Johnson and Heidi M Przybyla USA TODAY

Protesters and police clashed in a section in northwest Washington Friday during Donald Trump’s historic inauguration in a rolling series of confrontations that injured six police officers and left store windows and ATMs smashed. Police used pepper spray to control the crowd, some of whom were armed with crowbars and hammers, authorities said. More than 200 people were arrested by early evening in the most violent episodes of the day involving protesters and police. Columns of officers outfitted in heavy riot gear smothered a violent late-morning eruption, when about 90 were arrested. Only hours later, the quiet turned to chaos near the intersection of 13th and K streets, just a few blocks off the parade route. Police rushed protesters who had begun to hurl broken bricks, tossed newspaper racks and sidewalk WASHINGTON

trash containers into the street, setting them on fire. Police responded with pepper spray and flash grenades, with detonations echoing off surrounding office buildings, as police helicopters circled above. D.C. interim Police Chief Peter Newsham described the damage as significant to local businesses and vehicles. One heavily-damaged limousine was swarmed by protesters at one point and later set ablaze. “Unfortunately, we had a small group of protesters who wanted to disrupt the inauguration,” Newsham said. “They caused significant damage to a number of blocks in our city.” Patrick McGuire, 37, of Baltimore, said he was was hit point blank by something thrown by police. Multiple groups of protesters had converged quickly, he said, and the situation escalated quickly. “The pain is so great, you have no expectation of the pain ever ending,” he said. The violence, however, was largely contained to a three-tofour-block area, while the main

But the slow pace of security checks there kept many protesters from accessing the site. Nevertheless, protesters yelled in defiance as Trump was sworn in, with some carrying signs of support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Within moments of the 45th

president being sworn in, rain began to fall on the crowd. Small groups of protesters popped up at various security checkpoints across the spectator zones, attempting to block entry. One group, affiliated with Black Lives Matter, chained themselves to metal barricades. But police said no entrances were completely shutdown. Robert Hrifko, 62, a member of

Bikers For Trump, appeared to suffer the most visible injury from the late-morning clash in the city’s northwest section, as blood streamed from a cut under his left eye. The Florida man said he was attempting to assist police when he was hit with a rock by an antiTrump protester. He said the encounter devolved into a chairthrowing free-for-all. Police quickly moved in and cornered a group of protesters on L Street, between 12th and 13th. Other protesters chanting, “Let them go!” shouted from behind crime scene tape as officers prepared to make arrests. Shortly before the encounter, limo driver Luis Villarroel of Virginia said he was dropping off passengers near the Washington Post building when he saw “hundreds of masked men” coming his way. “They threw food at me,” he said, adding that they pounded the vehicle and then threw a flare inside the car.

will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other,” he said. “When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.” At times grim and scowling, he vowed to put an end to crime, gangs, drugs, poverty and “rustedout factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation.” He denounced the “ravages” of other countries “making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.” His description of a nation on its knees, both domestically and internationally, came shortly before he escorted Obama to a waiting helicopter on the Capitol grounds. Earlier, Obama was seen leaving a letter for Trump on the desk inside the Oval Office. Completing the peaceful transfer of power, the 44th president and former first lady Michelle Obama jetted off to a California vacation at about the same time former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, took a more workmanlike Amtrak train back home to Delaware. That left the new president and first lady Melania Trump to lunch on lobster with the nation’s leaders inside the Capitol’s ornate Statuary Hall, then step from their limousine to wave during the traditional parade up Pennsylvania Avenue. The crowds on the Mall and along the parade route were smaller than in recent years — particularly 2009, when Obama’s first inaugural attracted more than 1.8 million people. But those who did brave the light rain that began with Trump’s speech were not disappointed. “Make America great again!” Ruth Roldan exclaimed from her standing-room spot on the soggy

turf stretching west toward the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. She and her husband, Roberto, immigrants from Costa Rica, supported Trump’s law-and-order campaign. “Not all immigrants think the same,” she said. “We need a secure border. That’s why we came to this country.” In a sign that tempers have not cooled following the rough-andtumble campaign, crowds of protesters clashed with police in riot gear not far from the White House. Protesters smashed store windows and ATMs, threw rocks and bricks, set trash cans on fire and attacked an occupied police cruiser. More than 200 people were arrested and several officers were injured in one fracas. Missing from the day’s events were more than 60 House Democrats who boycotted the inaugural to protest a president many consider illegitimate — one who lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. The festivities included a somber note, as one of the five former living presidents, George H.W. Bush, was taken off a ventilator but remained in intensive care in a Houston hospital. Former presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush joined Obama and Clinton for the inaugural. Trump, surrounded by his wife, five children, their spouses and grandchildren, was sworn in just after noon by John Roberts, chief justice of the United States. Unlike 2009, when Roberts botched his lines, the 35-word oath went without incident. Trump placed his left hand on a family Bible as well as the one used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861. Earlier, Vice President Mike Pence, the soft-spoken former governor of Indiana, was sworn in by the most conservative justice, Clarence Thomas.

the campaign speeches he has delivered since he launched his unlikely bid in the lobby of Trump Tower 19 months ago, and he was cheered by the supporters who were arrayed along the west front of the Capitol and spilled down the National Mall. But the crowds overall were notably smaller than those who celebrated his predecessor’s swearing-in ceremonies, and the protests were bigger. Tens of thousands of protesters were expected Saturday for the Women’s March on Washington. Toward the end of his remarks, Trump appealed for unity and solidarity. “A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions,” he said. The primary message, however, clearly was designed to appeal to the Americans who voted for him and included little to reach out to those who didn’t. The speech was reminiscent of the apocalyptic language he used in his acceptance address at the Republican National Convention, claiming a nomination that few had expected him to win. It had less in common with his relatively conciliatory remarks on election night, when he won against all odds. Victorious in his first bid for public office, Trump has become the first president in U.S. history to lack either government or military command experience, and at age 70 he is the oldest. He prevailed in a campaign that eschewed political correctness and was mired in controversies over everything from his behavior toward women to his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the beginning of the address, Trump thanked former president Barack Obama for his “gracious aid throughout this transition,” but he didn’t express appreciation for anything Obama did during his presidency — for instance, for working to avert a depression after taking over amid financial calamity in 2009. And Trump didn’t acknowledge the presence on stage of his vanquished rival, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, although in his remarks at the congressional luncheon that followed he did thank her for being there. “I’m here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values,” she said in a tweet posted shortly before the ceremony. As Clinton walked on the dais for an event she once thought would be her historic inauguration, her expression was set and unsmiling. As Michelle Obama walked off the dais, as she and her husband were leaving for a California respite, she looked visibly pained. Trump’s remarks were a rebuke not only to the outgoing Democratic administration but to the Washington establishment in general. “For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of govern-

ment while the people have borne the cost,” he said. He said he was leading “a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.” The policies he extolled were more populist and nationalistic than they were conservative — potentially creating heartburn among the GOP congressional leaders who sat behind him — and he never referred explicitly to the Republican Party. The picture he painted of the nation he will now lead was dire, despite an economy that is in recovery and an unemployment rate that is low by historic standards.

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

Hillary and former president Bill Clinton attended President Trump’s inauguration.

The speech was reminiscent of the apocalyptic language (Trump) used in his acceptance address at the Republican National Convention. “For too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.” He said he would bring back jobs, tighten the borders, strengthen the military, rebuild infrastructure and ignite a new era of prosperity. He closed with the signature motto of his campaign. “Together, we will make America strong again,” he said. “We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And, yes, together, we will make America great again.” He promised quick action, setting a standard by which he will be judged. Because now he’s President Trump.

Growth expected to take a more modest turn Paul Davidson USA TODAY

If you were hoping the third quarter’s acceleration in economic growth augured a sustained pickup, next Friday’s report on the economy’s performance the fourth quarter is likely to curb your enthusiasm. Experts reckon growth returned to the modest 2% pace marking the 71⁄2-year-old recovery. And that’s not a bad thing. The economy grew at a 3.5% annual rate in the third quarter, a two-year high, following nine months of meager 1% gains. Consumer spending, which makes up 70% of economic activity, fueled the increase, with households benefiting from steady job and income growth, reduced debt and cheap gas. And business invest-

ment, which had been plagued by the oil slump and global weakness, began a modest comeback. But some of the advance was chalked up to pent-up demand. Firms had cut back on stockpiling, and finally replenished shelves. And exports surged 10.1%, but that was due to a spike in soybean shipments following a poor harvest in South America. In the fourth quarter, consumption likely moderated but still posted solid 2.5% growth, Barclays economist Michael Gapen says. And while business spending and stockpiling grew, exports likely fell sharply. Yet 2% growth would still outpace other advanced economies. And economists surveyed by Blue Chip Economic Indicators look for 2.3% growth in 2017, partly because of President Trump’s fiscal stimulus plan.

Trump cancels Obama’s mortgage premium cuts Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON One of the first executive actions by the new Trump administration wasn’t a sweeping order on immigration, trade or health care — but rather to block an Obama administration order that would have reduced the cost of mortgages for millions of home buyers. In the first hour of Trump’s presidency, the U.S. Department

ZACH GIBSON, AP

Housing and Urban Development Secretary-designate Ben Carson.

of Housing and Urban Development sent a letter to lenders, real estate brokers and closing agents

suspending the 0.25 percentage point premium rate cut for Federal Housing Administrationbacked loans. That cut would have saved home buyers about $29 a month on a $200,000 mortgage. But Republicans cast the move as hasty and said it threatened to undermine the stability of the system. So shortly after Trump was sworn in at noon Friday, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing Genger Charles — an Obama administration holdover — announced that HUD would “suspend indefinitely” the

rate reduction, saying “more analysis and research are deemed necessary.” Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., pressed the issue at confirmation hearings for Ben Carson, Trump’s nominee for housing secretary. Toomey said the planned reduction was “surprising” since the balance in the fund that backs FHA mortgages is just 16% higher than the legal minimum. “This strikes me as very little buffer above the minimum. And after all, as recently as 2013, the FHA needed a bailout,” he said. “I, too, was surprised to see

something of this nature done on the way out the door, which of course has a profound effect,” Carson said. “So certainly, if confirmed, I’m going to work with the FHA administrator and other financial experts to really examine that policy.” In his campaign, Trump promised executive actions repealing Obama policies on immigration and health care, so the change in mortgage premiums took Democrats and consumer groups by surprise.

Dear Annie: I’m seeking help and understanding of my wife’s attitudes about gifting to friends and family members. My wife has a special sense to listen and pick out gifts people have a strong interest in. She’ll be talking to someone in August, and the person will mention something that triggers an idea for my wife for the following Christmas. I admire her ability to choose meaningful gifts. What I wish to better understand is her desire to track the gift for the rest of time. If she gives you a flower vase, she expects to see it prominently displayed in your home each time she visits — forever! I sometimes will suggest it’s time to make a thrift-shop

‘Beaches’ remake surfs to Lifetime What exactly can a guy my age bring to a review of the 2017 remake of “Beaches” (7 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG)? Idina Menzel and Nia Long reprise the roles played by Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey in the 1988 original. A tale of female friendship told in extended flashbacks, the first ‘’Beaches’’ was a nine-hanky affair that popularized ‘’Wind Beneath My Wings,’’ arguably the most over-covered ballad until the advent of Josh Groban and his particular brand of sentim e n t a l treacle. But, as noted above, I really have nothing to bring to this review, as I dwell pretty far outside the orbit of the film’s intended audience; I never saw the original and can easily think of about 12,000 other films or series I’d rather watch or write about before getting my critical flip-flops sandy with either. But if this reboot brings a renewed popularity and saturation of ‘’Wind Beneath My Wings,’’ I may have to return to the subject with a sharpened pen, or other blunt instruments. Speaking of popular, horrible, inescapable songs, has it really been 20 years since the 1997 release of “Titanic” (6 p.m., AMC) and the attendant world domination of Celine Dion’s cloying theme ‘’My Heart Will Go On’’? Smithsonian returns to the well-covered story with “Titanic: The New Evidence” (7 p.m.). Newly discovered and examined photographs of the ship’s construction point toward cost-cutting and shoddy workmanship under unrealistic deadlines as the real culprits that doomed the unsinkable ship.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Jan. 21: This year you demonstrate the ability to flex more than ever before. Friends enjoy being around you, and co-workers often come to you to brainstorm. You will use more self-discipline to avoid going overboard with spending. If you are single, be willing to open up and date a little more. If you are attached, the two of you are a force to behold when you’re teamed up. 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 could be overwhelmed by everything that a loved one wants to do. Get ready for a hectic pace. Tonight: Continue the relaxing theme. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ Others might be more dominant than you are comfortable with. Tonight: Get together with friends, perhaps at your place. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ You understand that you have limited energy and you can’t always push as hard as you might like to. Tonight: Make it luxurious. Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ A close loved one could change his or her idea of what he or she would like to do. Tonight: Add some spice and mischief. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You will want to slow

well and good, generally speaking. The problem is that her expectations are so specific. Not everyone expresses gratitude the same way. Perhaps the friend she gave the vase to thought it was nice enough to reserve for special occasions. Whatever the case, presents that come with strings attached are more like emotional entrapment than true gifts. Encourage your wife to cherish the gift of simply giving.

Preventing and dealing with storm damage to trees M

other Nature was kind to northeast Kansas residents last weekend when the much-anticipated ice storm mostly missed the area. Storms like these come around from time to time, though, and are a good reminder that caring for trees can prevent a lot of headaches in times like these. And if your trees do suffer in the storm, there are some simple ways to make the issue less of a disaster.

Preventing damage Take a walk around your

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith yard and really look at the trees growing there. If one lost a limb or fell over, what could potentially be

affected? Overhead utility lines, houses, cars, etc. are all commonly damaged from falling limbs and trees in ice storms (and heavy winds in the spring and summer). Identify potential targets. Next, look more closely at the trees within reach of those targets. Are there dead limbs, splits high up in the tree, or visible hollows? Are they a species that is prone to breakage in storms such as Siberian elm, silver maple or Bradford pear? If you answered yes to either of these ques-

tions, hire an arborist to remove the dead or split limbs and further evaluate the safety and soundness of the tree(s). The preventive maintenance you do now could save you time and money over the tree falling and causing property damage or a power outage later. Even if your trees lack outward signs of damage or decay and are species less prone to damage such as white oak or linden, periodic evaluation by a professional is a good idea. Some tree species are good at internalizing decay and

hiding external signs of issues. Well-maintained trees increase property value by as much as 10 percent, according to the U.S. Forest Service, so avoid cutting them down if possible or plan to replace older, ailing trees that must be removed. Trees also benefit the community by absorbing carbon dioxide, producing oxygen, reducing energy costs, reducing erosion and providing habitat for birds and other wildlife.

How to replace an electrical plug end A

worn or broken plug end on a small appliance can be easily replaced with a little know-how, a screwdriver and a wire stripper. Step 1: With the appliance unplugged, use scissors or wire cutters to cut the old plug off from the existing electrical cord. Leave as much cord length as possible. Step 2: Choose a new plug that matches the old plug. Replace two-prong plugs with two-prong plugs and replace threeprong grounded plugs with three-prong plugs. Do not install a threeprong plug on a two wire cord and vice versa. Step 3: If the new plug came in a package, follow the diagram on the back. For quick connect plugs simply snap open the plug, place the cord end inside and snap the plug shut. The pressure of the plug will cause small metal prongs inside the plug to poke through the plastic sheathing of the cord,

Sometimes the face of the plug will snap out and other times it is attached with two or three small screws. Step 5: Once the front of the plug is open, pass the appliance cord through the bottom of the plug and up out of the face of the plug. Step 6: Use wire strippers to remove enough plastic sheathing on the cord to expose an inch of the shiny cop-

per strands that make up each wire. Twist the strands of each wire clockwise to form separate tight little wire ends. Step 7: Loosen the screws found on the blades or on the inside of the plug. Bend the wire ends into a “J” shape and hook them clockwise around each screw. It is important to hook the wires around the screw in the same direction the screw turns to tighten. This allows the wires to be pulled safely in under the screw head as the screw is tightened. Step 8: Once the wires are securely twisted and tightened under the screw heads, gently pull the cord down through the bottom of the plug allowing the plug blades to fall into the proper position. Replace the face of the plug and test out the new and improved small appliance.

may be more of a risk than originally thought, although this is still dependent on species, other signs of health, and existence of a target. Trees that have lost their tops, their central leader (trunk), or more than half of their crown are probably good candidates for removal. Trees with large wounds from their losses may also be considered for removal as wounds create entry points for insects and disease-causing organisms.

Jayhawks stepping up defense By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas could be back in bowl in 2018 The moment Donald Trump decades ago first went public with his dream of becoming president of the United States, the world laughed. He decided not to run in 1988, but his dream never died. He was just sworn in as our 45th president. So now would be as good a time as any to go public with my dream: Kansas will play in a bowl game after the 2018 season. Stop laughing and start paying attention to the revival of a moribund football program. The Jayhawks won’t have to wait 28 years, just 10, to end their bowl drought. They won their last one, 42-21 vs. Minnesota in the Insight Bowl, Dec. 31, 2008. Let’s take a stab at what the position-by-position lineup might look like heading into the 2018 season, based on returning players and those who have made verbal commitments to attend KU. All classes are as of 2018.

Rowing upstream with a defense that gave up way too many easy baskets and routinely got beat off the dribble, Kansas coach Bill Self a few weeks ago challenged guards Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham to

lead the charge to fix the KU defense. While all three will tell you that there remains plenty of room for growth and improvement, Self believes things have gotten better. “I think the boat is pointed in the correct direction now,” Self said. “But I don’t know if I would say (we’ve

turned it around). I think we’re guarding a little bit better than we have. So much of guarding is finishing the possession. And we’re rebounding it a little bit better.” Now a third of the way through the conference schedule — with the second third beginning at 1 p.m. to-

day when Texas comes to Allen Fieldhouse — Self and the Jayhawks are looking to take the next step toward becoming a better defensive team. For some, like Mason, that means improving your ability to play team defense. For

Monster slam Dunk by Selden highlights LHS win By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Topeka — Playing in the early afternoon game of the Topeka Invitational Tournament, Lawrence High’s boys basketball players understand the importance of a strong start. The crowds are smaller and there’s usually not as much energy. But after making a few shots Friday, the Lions loosened up and played their uptempo style in a 67-51 victory over Wichita East at Topeka High. Then with 3:33 left in the first quarter, LHS junior Anthony Selden took flight and brought the entire crowd to its feet with a dunk over a defender. Selden, the 6-foot-5 younger brother of former Kansas basketball standout Wayne Selden, caught the ball a little bit past midcourt and had one thought: “Dunk on him.” What followed was a sequence that usually leads on SportsCenter. Selden wanted to jump before Wichita East forward Zion Fralin was in position to take a charge. So he took off in the middle of the lane and never stopped going up until he slammed the ball through the rim. The dunk sent fans into

Offense Quarterback: Senior Peyton Bender, coming off a junior season in which he broke all the school’s post-Todd Reesing passing records, is ready to put on a weekly Air Raid clinic to the delight of the biggest crowds in Memorial Stadium in 10 years. Junior Carter Stanley and developing sophomore Tyriek Starks supply depth. Running back: Sophomore Dominic Williams and junior Khalil Herbert share the running load and make highlights so beautiful they inspire symphonic composers to new heights.

FSHS comeback derailed in double OT at St. Thomas Aquinas on Friday. “Give him credit, he is great player and hit a shot,” Free State coach Sam Stroh said. “I probably could have done something differently. But we still had chance to win the game. We will learn from it and move on.” That something different was talked about in the timeout leading up to the final play in regulation. Leading 63-60, Stroh pondered his options and considered fouling. But Luinstra had done an admirable job

others, like Graham, that means improving individual defense. And with those two leading the way, inspiring, pushing and challenging the five players in the rotation behind them, there is a sincere belief that better days are still ahead. “If you look at our games so far in league play, we haven’t played poorly,” Self said. “But we haven’t played great either. So collectively, I do think that they’re doing better, but I don’t think we’ve reached our potential on that end by any stretch ... We certainly have got another gear that we can go If you to.” look So far, at our that improvegames ment has so far in come in the form league of baby play, we steps. Afhaven’t ter allowing 45.3 played percent poorly. shootBut we ing and m a i n haven’t taining a played plus-3 rebounding great margin either.” during the first — KU coach Bill t h r e e Self games in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks have responded during the next three by trimming the opponent’s field goal percentage to 42.6 percent and bumping their rebounding edge to plus-8. Even with things trending in the right direction defensively, five of KU’s six conference wins have included noticeable flaws. Wins over TCU, Kansas State and Oklahoma State came down to the final couple of minutes. Victories at Oklahoma and Iowa State featured rough first halves and strong second halves. Only the Texas Tech victory, Jan. 7 at home, came from the Jayhawks’ ability to put together backto-back strong halves. “I think we’ve had some stretches in each half where we’ve looked really good,” Self said. “And the other thing about this team, and I’ve said this about other teams, we can be pretty average, especially at home, and (then) have that four-minute period that creates enough separation where it can lead you to a win. I think that’s happened several times.” While the goal, night in and night out, remains to deliver quality play from start to finish, Self made it clear he realized that doing that often over the course of a 30-game season is quite a challenge. What’s more, Self also proved he’s fine with his team racking up victories by simply finding a way to win. “You look across the country historically, and most teams that have pretty good records, they’ve had to win some games when they weren’t their best,” he said. “I tell our guys all the time, if you want to divide the season up into 30 (games), there are going to be 10 games where you stink. How many of those 10 can you still win when you play bad? And there are going to be 10 games where you’re average, and how many of those 10 are you going to win when you’re average? And then there are going to be 10 games where you play really well, and if you play really well, and you have really good players, you can probably guess what the record would be. “I think we’re in that mix right now. I think we’ve played a lot of games where we’re in that middle category, but somehow been good enough and figured out a way.”

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Battle of the bigs?

Offense wins

While Kansas has been able to utilize its four-guard lineup for much of the season without worrying about paying for it in the front court, KU coach Bill Self said his team’s matchup with Texas might require the Jayhawks’ big men to play big minutes. Landen Lucas already has been doing plenty of that, so this might be one of those games where Carlton Bragg is asked to step up. Good timing, huh? Bragg had arguably his best game of the season on Monday night against Iowa State and appears to be more confident than he has been at any point this season. Still, with two traditional big men in the starting lineup and more coming in off the bench behind them, the Longhorns will pose a major challenge to both Lucas and Bragg and this one could come down to which team’s style gives the other team more fits. “They’re young, extremely athletic, and extremely big in size,” Self said of the Longhorns. “Probably the biggest team that we’ve played, at least that I can remember in quite some time. So we’ll have to defend them a little differently than what we have been.”

Pressure the point

While Bill Self is never going to subscribe With the departure of two-headed-pointto this theory, he might be willing to conguard-monster Isaiah Taylor and Javon Felix cede that it could be true for his team in this from last year’s squad, the Longhorns have matchup. The Jayhawks enter today’s game asked athletic wing Kerwin Roach Jr. to with Texas averaging 85.8 points per game, handle a good chunk of the ball-handling and 16.2 points per game more than the Longpoint guard duties so far this season. While horns’ average of 69.6. So right there you’re that had led to varying degrees of success looking at a mismatch of sorts in that one and failure, Roach has started to find his way team likes to put up points and does it with of late. “I think he’s gotten better,” UT coach ease and the other struggles to reach 70. Shaka Smart said. “He’s made major progAdd to that the fact that KU is out-shooting ress. He’s handling the ball much more, his Texas from both the floor (50.4-43.9) and assist-to-turnover ratio is significantly better 3-point range (41.2-29.7) and it’s easy to see and it can continue to improve.” Roach is that if the Jayhawks merely hit their averaveraging 11.6 points and 4.8 assists in 35 ages in this one, that should provide Kansas minutes in Texas’ last five games while with enough offensive firepower to run past shooting 50 percent from the field and 41.7 Texas. To make matters worse for Shaka percent from 3-point range. While his size (6Smart and Texas, it sure looks as if KU might 4, 175) likely will inspire KU to try different be due for a hot shooting night. In its last defensive looks against him, getting Frank game at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas made just Mason III, Devonté Graham and perhaps even 5-of-20 shots from 3-point range and shot Josh Jackson to make him uncomfortable is just 44.1 percent overall. Kansas improved key. After all, Roach leads all UT perimeter from the outside Monday night against Iowa players with 42 turnovers this season and is State, but the 6-of-15 clip from deep was still still fine-tuning his ability to play the point. nowhere near the red-hot shooting the team — Matt Tait had enjoyed during its three previous games.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

UT freshman Jarrett Allen vs. KU senior Landen Lucas

With games against West Virginia, Kentucky and Baylor looming and coming off of an intense and profitable trip to always-tough Ames, Iowa, it would be easy to call KU’s home game against a sub.500 Texas team as one that the Jayhawks could overlook. But then Oklahoma went into West Virginia on Wednesday night and knocked off the No. 7 team in the country and provided the Jayhawks with a probably-not-so-needed reminder that if they don’t bring it every night in the Big 12 Conference, they’re vulnerable to defeat. Because of that, and because their overall mission remains to improve as much as possible every day and approach every immediate challenge with razor sharp focus, Self believes the Jayhawks will enter the UT game with the right mindset. “I don’t know if we needed that to happen to get them up,” Self said of OU beating WVU. “But when we put together our tape of Texas and show our players, they’ll see their capabilities ... I think the word is going to spread about how talented their young players are, and certainly our guys know how athletic dangerous they are.”

The old man vs. the new kid on the block. Size and savvy vs. athleticism and intensity. However you want to draw up the trailer for this big man battle, make sure you put enough emphasis on just how important it will be to the outcome of this game. Few players in the conference are as hot as Allen, a 6-11, 235-pound freshman from Round Rock, Texas, who actually picked UT over Kansas during his recruitment. Allen has averaged 18 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 33 minutes per game during the last three outings and is gaining confidence and comfort by the possession. Overall, Allen is fifth in the Big 12 in rebounding, at 7.8 boards per game, and also adds 11.9 points per game and has recorded a team-high 29 blocks this season. To put that number in perspective, KU’s leading shot blocker is freshman forward Josh Jackson, with 26, while Lucas ranks second with just 15.

an uproar and his teammates into hysterics. When Selden stood at the free-throw line on the next possession, one Wichita East player turned to him and simply asked, “Why do you got to do that?” Selden smirked. That dunk was in the middle of a 7-0 run by the Lions, giving them a lead they would never give up. They pulled away with an 11-2 run in the second quarter, holding the Blue Aces (6-5, No. 8 in Class 6A) to only one basket in

the final seven minutes of the first half. Lawrence will play in the fifth-place game against Topeka High at 1:45 p.m. today. “Way more energetic,” Selden said of the start. “We were ready. (Thursday), we were just out of it, it seemed like. We were just barking at each other. Today we locked in.” The highlight dunk was only the start for Selden, who added four straight points at the end of the first period and finished with 11 points and six rebounds. He’s had highlight dunks and blocks this season. His teammates see it all the time in practice.

But this one was special. “That’s a giant boost because a crazy dunk like that just gives us all energy,” said 6-5 sophomore forward Brett Chapple, who posted 12 points and eight rebounds. After shooting 1-of-15 from the 3-point line in a three-point loss to Wichita Southeast on Thursday, the Lions (8-2, No. 4 in 6A) focused on passing the ball into the paint. Lawrence coach Mike Lewis said there was a restriction on the number of 3-pointers Friday. “I think we had to get to that point where we had to limit what we were going to do from the outside and really go inside

and play out,” Lewis said. “Our guys responded well to that.” With a focus on closerange shots, the Lions drove downhill and found their post players for layups and dunks. In the third quarter, Chapple scored eight points. LHS senior Jackson Mallory scored 12 points while seniors Kobe Buffalomeat and Austin Miller had seven. It was an important bounce-back game for the Lions. Failing to make the tournament’s title game for the first time in four seasons, Selden said the team felt it let former players down. “You can sulk and pout

before ultimately jabbing Luinstra and letting the ball fly as he drifted backwards to watch it fall in. “You can’t leave him for a second, he’s a great player,” senior Shannon Cordes said. “EKL player of the year as a junior. All credit to him, he’s a great player.” And yet, Free State had a chance to make Geiman’s heroics a forgotten memory. In the first overtime, Blue Valley (7-2, No. 5 in 6A) and Free State (6-3, No. 9 in 6A) went back and forth, with neither team holding more than a three-point advantage.

With the score tied, 73-73, FSHS turned to its go-to option in the waning moments. Luinstra, who is averaging 18 points per game in five outings this calendar year, notched 15 points on the same number of attempts. But his pull-up jumper, which rattled around the rim to end the first overtime, may be the misfire that haunts him the most. “I thought Garrett hit that one in overtime,” Stroh said. “But I loved our grit. Our kids showed a lot of toughness. It was a fun game.” The Firebirds did not

knock down a single shot from the floor in the second overtime, while the Tigers hit two quick early buckets to gain back control, something they had squandered away late in the fourth quarter. With 6:05 to go in regulation, Geiman finished a layup in traffic, giving Blue Valley its largest lead of the contest at 15 points. However, Geiman bumped into senior Cameron Clark and proceeded to taunt him, before he was hit with a technical. Cordes sunk both attempts from the free throw line, which helped jumpstart a

The 17-year-old Chen delivered a stunning performance that seemed to defy gravity and had the Sprint Center crowd clapping along with his routine and earned him the only standing ovation of the night. Chen scored nearly 20 points higher than his closest competitor, Ross Miner, and would need a complete collapse Sunday not to walk out of Kansas City with a gold medal. Chen could deliver the boost the flagging men’s program needs headed into next year’s Winter Games in South Korea. Chen hit his quadruple lutz triple toe loop combination, a quadruple flip, a triple axel and his entertaining footwork was about as fancy and flawless as it could get.

Defense End: Senior Dorance Armstrong sets his sights on Ron Warner’s singleseason sack record (14.5, 1997) after passing Algie Atkinson (24) on the all-time career list with a personal-best 11.5 sacks

as a junior to give him 25 for his career. Junior Isaiah Bean, even quicker and a good bit nastier but not as muscular or strong as Armstrong, aims for the single-season record as well. The Rock Sack Jayhawks send praise the way of starting senior defensive tackles Daniel Wise and J.J. Holmes every week for pushing the pocket in their direction. Linebacker: Seniors Joe Dineen and Keith Loneker, known simply as the Local Boys, lead a

deep position. It’s too early to project what the defensive backfield might look like, at least until those visiting this weekend make decisions. The crystal ball shows Kansas opening the season with a one-sided victory vs. Nicholls State and closer ones at Central Michigan and at home vs. Rutgers. Add home victories vs. Big 12 foes TCU, Iowa State and Baylor, stir, and presto, bowl game.
