CHILDREN IN NEED OF CARE

Juvenile justice reform efforts fall stagnant By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A top Kansas lawmaker is now acknowledging that a sweeping program to get more kids out of juvenile detention centers and into foster homes is behind schedule.

Rep. Russ Jennings, RLakin, said a number of technical and outlier issues has caused the first implementation deadline of the Juvenile Justice Reform Act to be missed. Jennings, who oversees the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice

Committee, acknowledged further implementation delays are possible as state officials realize some key systems still aren’t in place. In addition, the Kansas Department for Children and Families is bracing for the act to move forward.

That’s because the department is already near recordhigh numbers, its partners are gasping for money and volunteers, and the JJRA is expected to increase the number of troubled youth who will be transferred into its custody.

“There is no doubt in my mind that would likely occur,” Jennings said of a spike in DCF numbers. “You take a kid who is not at high risk for reoffending, but is more of a victim of their

Missing systems The Kansas Department of Corrections and the Office of Judicial Administration are in charge of putting the bill into action while the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, chaired by Jennings, oversees the process. Enacted in 2016, the bill was laid out in stages, with deadlines peppered from Jan. 1 to this July and beyond, Jennings said. The entire bill is supposed to be in effect by 2019. In late December, Randy Bowman, director of community-based services for the KDOC, said the organization asked for an extra month or two to “fully vet through policy issues” before it and the OJA make formal recommendations to state agencies. More specifically, Bowman said there are two main problem areas. The first is a type of

This is the second installment in the series. diversion system called the Immediate Intervention Program, he said. The program allows certain children, often without a criminal record and who have committed low-level crimes, to avoid formal charges being filed against them, Bowman said. However, at the moment, there is no centralized database where prosecutors can look up a child’s criminal history, Jennings said. This makes it difficult to know who might qualify for a diversion program and who would not. “It’s one thing to give kids a chance on relatively minor offenses on one or two occasions,” Jennings said. But prosecutors are at a disadvantage if they can’t accurately look up criminal histories, which also gives way to concerns about “repetitive participation” in the program, he said. The second problem is developing a Detention Risk Assessment Instrument, Bowman said. The assessment will use “breakpoints for low, medium- and high-risk youth,” Jennings said. The scores will determine

Cordley, where three classrooms are taking part this semester in a new curriculum, developed by local filmmaker and artist Nicholas Ward, designed to get students thinking about the food we eat — and the food we often needlessly throw away. Ward, known to Cordley students as the “worm guy,” has spent the last year working with nonprofit The Sunrise Project to implement his food-waste mitigation and composting programs in four schools across the Lawrence district. The project, funded by a Kansas Green Schools grant, has led to partnerships with New York Elementary and Free State High School last fall, and, this spring, Cordley and Liberty Memorial Central Middle School. It’s important, Ward and his partners at Sunrise Project say, for everyone to be mindful about food waste. Approximately 40 percent of our food goes to waste each year in the U.S., according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization, and more than 97 percent of food waste generated ends up in the landfill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. And the earlier, they say, the better, to create

awareness and knowledge. “Even at our Food Policy Council level, they’re just now starting to think about the food waste part of it. And I think that’s sort of common in the local-food movement in general,” says Melissa Freiburger, director of programs for Sunrise Project. “People think about farm-to-table, but they don’t think about ‘after the table.’” Students, Ward says, seem to be receptive so far. They’ve learned how vermicomposting works — worms eat our food scraps, which then pass through their bodies to become castings, or worm waste, that can be used as an earthy, rich soil amendment. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s not difficult to hold a small child’s attention when the topic is poop. But kids, given some time to get used to things, have also been quick to jump on board with Ward’s food-waste audits. On Wednesday, only his second day implementing the system at Cordley, students and staff lined up at the end of lunch to dump their scraps into three bins: one for recyclable materials, one for compost

whether a child will be incarcerated or not. Though the assessment’s concept is simple, Jennings said it’s more of a science to apply. In fact, the KDOC and OJA reached out to the University of Cincinnati’s juvenile justice professionals for additional help, “trying to be sure they get it right.” Alongside the two main problem areas, Jennings said the KDOC and OJA are working to ensure they’ve prepared for any “oddball things that come up from time to time.” Noting that the bill likely had a more aggressive timeline “than what was doable,” Jennings said lawmakers will use the current session to discuss and likely tweak the measure. In his December memo, Bowman asked for deadlines of Jan. 31 and Feb. 28 to publish standards for the immediate intervention process and to finalize the risk assessment, respectively.

— bits of uneaten lettuce and carrots, mostly — and one for trash. On a mild day last fall, Ward and students at Free State collected all the food waste from lunch the day before, spread it out on a tarp and began sorting through the seeming trash piece by piece. “What I didn’t expect, though, was that there were 30-some unopened milks, 80 unopened string cheeses and 77 pieces of silverware,” Ward says. “So, we ran the numbers on it, and that was a lot of money (wasted) annually in silverware. But that was because they just dumped things.” It’s easy to mindlessly toss things into the trash, even reusable cutlery, Ward says, especially when you’re not used to doing otherwise. And whether we’re aware of it or not, every little bit adds up. Case in point: Every Thursday, Ward picks up the compost scraps — food that otherwise would have gone to waste — amassed that day at New York. That’s around 320 pounds in food waste collected since October, and only one weekday’s worth,

KDOC and place them into the hands of the DCF, which just recently hit record numbers. Even before the juvenile reform act is fully in place, the KDOC and DCF are moving in opposite directions. As of Friday, Todd Fertig, KDOC communications director, said there were 1,487 children in the department’s custody. That number has decreased by as much as 40 percent in the past 10 years, Bowman said. The DCF, however, hit an all-time high of 6,911 children in custody in October, followed by 6,846 in November, according to their most recent data. Those numbers have been trending upward steadily for the past five years. In March 2016, Kathy Armstrong, DCF’s assistant director for legal services, testified that custody referrals resulting from the JJRA could become “potentially duplicative and cumbersome” to the department. Despite the current trends, Jennings said he’s confident the JJRA will place children where chances for rehabilitation are highest and will avoid more costs in the long term. Jennings acknowledged state department concerns regarding funding and staff shortages and said the Legislature will continue to discuss those issues. In addition, he said similar concerns may also be directed to

Ward points out. A handful of local farmers do the picking-up on the other four days of the school week. Soon, they’ll be invited to do the same at Cordley, he says. “It’s an underutilized resource right now,” Ward says — one that could be used by farmers and at the Sunrise Project site or in school gardens, when the weather warms up a bit. At Cordley, the kids even have a separate, smaller bin set up in the school kitchen where students and staff can leave scraps for the worms. They’re taking ownership of it, Ward says. Eventually, he’d like to see the program become its own initiative through the school district or county. In the meantime, he’ll plan on reapplying for the Kansas Green Schools grant to fund next year’s efforts. The folks at Sunrise are excited, too, by the possibilities. The next step might be to branch out at other schools, Freiburger says, and maybe grocery stores and even homes, where folks could leave their compost outside for Sunrise kids to pick up. “So, there’s a lot of potential,” she says. “But this is kind of the beginning stage.”

Douglas County details Though some organizations may be anxious about the JJRA, Pam Weigand, director of Douglas County Youth Services, is not. This is because Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee, Wyandotte and Douglas counties have participated in the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative since about 2010, Weigand said. “We’ve already been diverting kids from detention for years,” she said. “We’ve had a risk assessment instrument at our intake for years.” In the process, the number of Douglas County children in KDOC custody has decreased from 40 to 12 between 2010 and 2016, Weigand said. So, instead of massive, sweeping changes, she expects to see just a few technical changes around the facility. “I feel like Douglas County is well positioned to comply with the reforms,” she said. “We were already doing a lot of that work; it’s just a matter of how it’s going to be prescribed.” — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

The search process is closed, meaning no applicants’ or finalists’ names will be publicly announced, and search committee meetings will be conducted in private. To solicit input about the qualities that KU community members want in their next chancellor, Dillon led open forums Jan. 10 at the Lawrence campus and Jan. 13 at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. One more open forum — specifically targeting Lawrence students who weren’t back from winter break for the first one — is planned from 5 to 6 p.m. today in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union. “Those pieces of information tell us a lot about what we may want as a chancellor. The committee then adds its own input,” Dillon said. “Then we combine all of that into the statement.” The Board of Regents has hired the academic search firm R. William Funk and Associates to recruit candidates for chancellor. Firm president Bill Funk was with Dillon at the first two constituency meetings. Dillon said he’d received “more than a handful” of names and was forwarding all to the firm. He said some came from KU faculty members who know potential candidates from schools where they previously worked. A notice about the pending job opening also has been advertised in the Journal of Higher Education. “In addition to that, the search firm has already sent out a number of requests to people they know in the industry seeking their thoughts on who we should look into,” Dillon said. Dillon suggested that early applicants or people suggesting names contact Funk and Associates. Contact information for the firm can be found on its website, rwilliamfunk. com. Among other suggestions, attendees at the first Lawrence forum said they wanted a chancellor who was “courageous,” could generate excitement about higher education, listened to students and valued diversity — and a hiring process that was not improperly influenced by politics and other outside agendas.

Sponsorship policy promising Selling naming rights to various facilities could benefit the city in a number of ways.

elling sponsorships of city of Lawrence amenities makes financial sense and, if implemented properly, could benefit the city in the long run. The city has drafted a potential sponsorship policy that will be discussed at a public meeting today. The policy essentially would allow the city to solicit donations from residents and businesses in exchange for naming rights on Parks and Recreation Department programs and facilities — recreation centers, swimming pools, golf courses and even parks. City Manager Tom Markus said sponsorships could help fund operating and maintenance costs, such as replacing playground equipment, exercise machines or gym floors, that cities don’t always keep in mind when they build facilities. Sponsorship funds could support one-time programs or go toward pay for specific items such as scoreboards or gym floors. The draft policy makes clear that the city retains the rights to the facilities and places limits on the program regarding advertising and messaging. For example, the policy states that sponsorship recognition messages may identify the sponsor or product but should not promote or endorse the sponsor or its products or services. The policy prevents “statements that advocate, contain price information or an indication of associate savings or value, request a response, or contain comparative or qualitative descriptions of products, services, or organization.” The Parks and Recreation Department maintains 54 parks, a citywide trail system, four recreation centers, two aquatic centers, a nature center, a golf course, and offers hundreds of programs, classes and camps annually. The city would decide which are appropriate for sponsorship and at what level. According to the draft policy, sponsorships of $25,000 or more per year would require City Commission approval. Sponsorships of $15,000 to $25,000 would require city manager approval and sponsorships below $15,000 would require only department director approval. The draft requires that donations must be for a specific facility or service, essentially avoiding unattached donations. The draft also states that the city won’t seek or accept sponsors that take positions inconsistent with city policies or positions, and that a sponsorship doesn’t constitute an endorsement by the city. The policy is not without detractors. Mayor Leslie Soden has expressed concerns about signage and potential conflicts of interest. Commissioner Mike Amyx is opposed to selling naming rights to parks. But assuming those issues can be addressed, there is taxpayer benefit to a reasonable sponsorship program and it is an idea that warrants support.

Can Trump stabilize the world? Washington — Donald Trump’s inauguration marks a global inflection point: He takes office at a moment when many analysts see a transition to a new economic and political order — one where the risks for the United States and its allies are likely to increase. Trump’s promise to “make America great again” resonated with many disaffected voters at home. But abroad, it created fear that America’s global power is receding, with China and Russia moving to fill the vacuum. Analysts forecast a new era in which the U.S.led, post-1945 global order, which brought unparalleled economic growth, will be replaced by another structure whose rules and rewards aren’t yet clear. Financial markets have so far been surprisingly steady, given the rising uncertainty and risk levels. But outgoing Treasury Secretary Jack Lew cautioned in a recent interview: “In an economy where confidence is one of the factors that leads to investment, and uncertainty and political instability undermine confidence, there is a real risk that the cumulative amount of political instability in the world slows down investment.” Trump has embraced the breakup of the old order. He has criticized NATO as “obsolete” and predicted the European Union’s demise — challenging two pillars of America’s network of power. He has talked of imposing tariffs against imports not just from China, but from Germany, raising

“

If he carries through on what he has talked and tweeted about, he will reshape the framework of global economic and security relationships — for the worse, I fear.” fears of a global trade war. He has promised a revival of U.S. manufacturing jobs that many economists argue can’t be restored without disrupting other parts of the economy. “Wait and see” is always a good rule on Inauguration Day, but we’ve never had a president quite like Trump, with so many disruptive ideas and so little experience. Change is his political brand. If he carries through on what he has talked and tweeted about, he will reshape the framework of global economic and security relationships — for the worse, I fear. Trump was elected with a minority of the popular vote, and his behavior since Election Day has lowered his popularity. But with Republican control of the House and Senate, he’ll probably be

able to enact major changes quickly. He has proposed big infrastructure spending, but also large tax cuts. The result could produce a sharp increase in the deficit similar to what happened during the early Reagan years. Lew cautions about the financial consequences of such populist economics: “We know from history that decisions that are made to pursue a less-disciplined path can sometimes take place very quickly, but they tend to have very long tails.” Restoring discipline requires a bipartisan cooperation in Congress that was present during Reagan’s tenure but has now disappeared. Trump’s vision that the old order is cracking is shared by many leading foreign policy analysts. But they’re less sanguine about its consequences. The revolt against economic globalization has boosted right-wing nationalist politicians in America and Europe. But the real beneficiaries may be Russia and China, which seek to replace the U.S.-led system. This theme of risky transition was explored in “Global Trends,” a report published this month by the National Intelligence Council. “The next five years will see rising tensions within and between countries. ... An era of American dominance following the Cold War [is ending]. So, too, perhaps, is the rules-based international order that emerged after World War II. It will be much harder to

cooperate internationally and govern in ways publics expect.” A similar grim assessment was offered this month by the Rand Corp. In a study titled “Strategic Choices for a Turbulent World,” Rand described a global tipping point: “The post-Cold War period is over. While historians may argue about the timing, it has become clear to most foreign policy practitioners that the world has entered a new era, a complex age of turbulence and opportunity.” A “Come Home America” strategy similar to what Trump proposes would narrow U.S. goals and influence “in exchange for limiting U.S. exposure to a more unstable world,” the Rand report argued. Russia and China would seek to benefit, and although Russia has long-term economic troubles, “declining powers can sometimes be the most dangerous.” Trump has a big vision of deals with Russia, China and Europe that could redraw the terms of trade and rebalance an unstable world, to America’s benefit. And he’s the leader, now, of a worldwide movement against a globalization that disproportionately benefited elites in the U.S. and Europe. But as Lew says, this “anti-expert, anti-elite mood ... doesn’t change classical economics.” Trump now owns responsibility for shaping a world in turmoil. And America owns the stark reality that Trump is president. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

YOUR TURN

A harder conversation about school equity By Clarence Lang

Next to employment and police relations, education is of perennial concern for people of color. Conflicts involving educational access and racial equity certainly have affected Lawrence recently. In the fall of 2015, University of Kansas students joined a national wave of activism targeted to the campus climate. This past fall, a reported classroom encounter involving a teacher at South Middle School triggered disruptions at school board meetings that dramatized larger concerns about racial equity in the district. With the teacher’s resignation occurring amid an investigation, the matter of whether he may have made racist remarks to students is an issue that school district officials have shelved as a personnel affair. In the absence of the teachable moment that this episode potentially offered, we are told that the superintendent and school board members are doing their best, and have been doing so. We are reminded that the district possesses an Educational Equity

and Excellence Plan, provides “Beyond Diversity” training, and seeks members for an Equity Advisory Committee. D i s g r u n t l e d Lang parents of color are advised to check their behavior, recognize the good work that is occurring and get involved in district initiatives. Meanwhile, the public conversation has shifted toward community reconciliation and unity. Promoting better intercultural communication is necessary. However, absent any reckoning with how we have arrived at this particular crossroads in our school district, attempts at building consensus are shaky. First, the robust community dialogue about equity in Lawrence public schools is a result of the dissidence of parents and their allies. However we may want to judge it normatively, protest is a vital form of politics that compels institutions to deal with grievances that officially sanctioned approaches ignore, deny or suppress. At their

best, insurgent movements serve a corrective function by exposing and altering relationships of power. Left to their own prerogatives, majorities do not amend themselves, and certainly not because it is the moral thing to do. That labor falls to minorities willing to jolt people out of inertia by “making a scene.” This is messy and discomforting, especially for those who can afford complacency. Admonishing protesters to be “civil” misrepresents how social reform occurs and excuses the obscenity of persistent inequality. Likewise, appealing to the virtues of Jayhawk pride, or celebrating Lawrencians for an egalitarian “Free State” heritage substitutes mythology for analysis. It frames the community as a finished project rather than a work in constant progress. Second, strategic plans, reports, training and workshops in diversity, equity and inclusion are fine, but they are only preconditions for pursuing these goals. They are no cause for self-congratulation. Indeed, managing diversity in higher education often is reduced to auditing statements

and certifications of completion, with the rhetoric of “tolerance” taking the place of actual transformations in the distribution of resources, access, and opportunity. Leaders in K-12 education face the same dilemma. Courageous conversations are not enough. Neither is it sufficient even to acknowledge “institutionalized racism,” which can be so encompassing as to exist nowhere with no one held accountable. A bigger challenge is to confront inequalities as they present themselves in the daily, routine policies and practices of system maintenance. That requires not only asking whether the disproportionate disciplinary referrals for students of color are rising or falling, but also probing how schools criminalize students of color in the first place. It means not only improving the diversity in “gifted” programs and advanced placement courses but also questioning what the absence of diversity suggests about who determines “merit” itself and how. It depends not only on emphasizing culturally relevant education or modules on “white privilege,” but also

exploring what this means when administrators and teaching staff in the district remain largely white. A quality education is the key route to self-actualization, social mobility and well-being. The period spent in elementary, middle and high school is brief, but the experiences there shape the direction of entire lives. Parents have every right to express disappointment, even rage, when schools fail their children or applaud themselves for incremental changes already decades delayed. The Lawrence school district calls for accountability at all levels to “identify and correct district and school policies, procedures and practices that perpetuate racial achievement disparities.” This is excellent. School officials also proclaim that “all students can learn and achieve at high levels.” I wholeheartedly agree. Realizing the potential in these statements, though, demands harder conversations and actions, for which I want to hope Lawrence is prepared. — Clarence Lang is professor and chair of African and African-American Studies at the University of Kansas.

committee hearings after The Associated Press made public technical problems with the online and motor vehicle computer system that caused an unknown number of voters before the general election to receive confirmation they had successfully completed their voter registrations when in fact the system failed to record them. The ACLU and a coalition of other groups plan to seek legislation that would allow voter registration up to election day. That is something about a dozen other states — including Republicandominated ones like Wyoming, Utah and North Dakota — already have in place. State Rep. John Carmichael, a Democrat from Wichita, is sponsoring a bill to repeal the secretary of state’s prosecutorial power, noting Kobach has filed just nine prosecutions against people for double voting in the past year and a half. Six voters were convicted and fined between $500 and $5,500. None involved noncitizens voting illegally. Carmichael says Kobach is using his prosecutorial power for “political purposes,” saying Kobach has made a name for himself by contending noncitizens are stealing elections. Kobach said he could bring more prosecutions if he had more attorneys, but said it is not necessary. “We have sent a clear message to those who might seek to commit voter fraud — we will catch you, and if we prosecute, you will likely face a very heavy fine,” Kobach said. “That’s the very essence of deterrence.”

to prosecute voter fraud. And they made violations of state election laws a felony. But in the 2017 Kansas Legislature, with about two dozen new lawmakers elected in a moderate wave last fall, a backlash against the restrictive election laws may be brewing. Democrats are expected to push to repeal the proof-of-citizen registration requirement, which Kobach is defending on several fronts in court. One bill seeks to allow same-day registration so people can register when they go to the polls to vote. Another bill seeks to remove Kobach’s prosecutorial power and make penalties for election law violations misdemeanors rather than felonies. Among that wave of newly elected moderate lawmakers is state Sen. Dinah Sykes, a Republican from Lenexa. She said she heard concerns about voting rights from people in her district as she campaigned. She believes Kobach “pushes the boundaries” with his prosecutorial power. She also supports same-day registration to vote. “The more people that have a voice, the better we are as a society,” Sykes said. Not everyone agrees with pushing back against Kobach’s policies, most notably Rep. Keith Esau, the Republican from Olathe who chairs the House Elections Committee. Esau said he is happy with the way Kobach

has been running things: “Elections are running smoothly, we had good turnouts.” Kobach was back at the Legislature this past week seeking authority to bar potentially tens of thousands of people from voting in state and local races. He wants lawmakers to let him create separate voter registration lists — one for people who can vote in any election and another who can vote only in federal races. Those who register using a form provided by the federal government that does not require proof of citizenship would be on the second list. “In Kansas we have made it easy to vote but hard to cheat,” Kobach said in an email. The League of Women Voters disagrees. Copresident Marge Ahrens said there were about 21,000 Kansans as of last week on a “suspense list” for not completing voter registrations, mostly for not providing citizenship documentation. “The barriers to the vote in Kansas are the highest of any state in the nation,” Ahrens said. Those tensions are playing out against a backdrop of multiple court decisions that have gutted many of the voting restrictions Kobach championed. The session also comes in the wake of a general election in which 13,717 ballots statewide were thrown out — 10,148 of them discarded because the voter was not registered, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday. While the reasons for that vary, Kobach was put on the defensive this week at legislative

WOMEN’S MARCH ON WASHINGTON

GROUPS TRY TO HARNESS THE ENERGY Planned Parenthood, EMILY’s List urge participants to consider run for public office

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Now that the Women’s March on Washington is over, women like 32-year-old Jacqueline Glass will determine whether it marked a historic oneday demonstration or the start of a widespread resistance to Donald Trump’s presidency. Glass was among the more than 2 million people who came out in a show of global protest — from Washington to Sydney, Australia. Now women’s groups and civil rights organizations, such as Planned Parenthood and EMILY’s List, are scrambling to harness that energy by enlisting

more supporters and encouraging women to run for local public office. Glass, who is African-American, recently settled in Norfolk, Va., after retiring from the military. She says she has felt discouraged ever since the election, when her 10-year-old son woke up crying. “I don’t want him feeling like he’s in a place where he’s up against the world. This is America,” she said. “I was having these sinking feelings about the world and really down for a period of time,” she said. The feeling became so strong that Glass took to Google, which led her to VoteRunLead, a New York non-profit that grooms v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

World leaders line up to talk and meet with Trump

British premier May is set to visit Friday Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

World leaders from Mexico, Canada and Israel had their first conversations with President Trump over the weekend, ahead of his first face-to-face visit with British Prime Minister Theresa May later this week. While foreign policy analysts are unsure whether the new

president will charge ahead with promises he made during the campaign, they expect Trump to transfer his business tactics to the diplomatic negotiating table. “This is the week where everyone puts their cards on the table,” says Brian Winter, vice president for policy at Americas Society/ Council of the Americas. “He’s a dealmaker, and he will take a very tough position at the beginning and then negotiate over time, because that’s the way he does business.” His first weekend in the White House included phone calls with the leaders of America’s neighbors: Canadian Prime Minister

Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. On Sunday, Trump talked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and described the call as “very nice.” Afterward, Netanyahu’s office said he had a “very warm conversation” with Trump and accepted an invitation to visit the White House next month. No date was set. They discussed the international nuclear deal with Iran and the Palestinian issue, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement. Netanyahu and right-wing Israeli politicians have viewed Trump as more loyal to their causes than President Obama, es-

pecially when it comes to Israel’s expansion of settlements. Israel tested that theory Sunday when Jerusalem city officials approved building permits for 566 new homes in east Jerusalem. But Netanyahu — ahead of talking with Trump — delayed a Cabinet

vote Sunday on a contentious proposal to annex a large settlement in the West Bank. Britian’s May, who on Friday will likely be the first foreign leader to visit in person with the new president, also will meet with congressional Republicans Thursday at their strategy conference in Philadelphia. May wants to shore up a new trade deal through the “special relationship” with the U.S. as the United Kingdom prepares to leave the European Union. She’ll be facing a Trump administration that vowed to adopt protectionist, “America first” stances that could limit such deals.

women for public office. She’s now researching local commissions and boards in which to get active. “I’m taking these tiny steps toward an ultimate goal,” she said, which is to run for U.S. Senate. There’s early anecdotal evidence that some women are turning grief over the Election Day loss by Hillary Clinton into action. According to VoteRunLead, more than 2,300 women have signed up for training seminars in the past two months, a major increase. Planned Parenthood, which provides free health screening to poor women and is targeted for funding cuts by Republican leaders opposed to abortion, is seeing hundreds of thousands of people signing up to volunteer and reach out to their members of Congress. EMILY’s List, which works to elect proabortion-rights women, drew at least 500 women for a Sunday workshop in downtown Washington on running for office. “This is the moment of the beginning of the revival of the women’s movement,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., told the throng of demonstrators around the Capitol Saturday. “We don’t have equal pay for equal work in this country” or national paid family leave. “Until every woman and girl in this country has a chance to reach her God-given potential that America will not reach its

full potential,” said Gillibrand, something that won’t happen until they’re better represented in government. Women are more than half of the U.S. population, yet they hold fewer than one in four seats in the nation’s state legislatures, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. Running for office is just of many ways the event’s organizers are hoping women will take action. Filmmaker Michael Moore gave the crowd a “to-do list,” including running for office and calling Congress on a daily basis to resist the Republican agenda. He urged marchers to turn their communities into “regions of resistance” to fight Republican policies and pass progressive laws on health care and anti-discrimination measures. Recently, in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s hometown of Janesville,

Wis., 50 medical students in lab coats delivered a letter signed by 400 health care professionals to his office. Nearly 50% of the lowincome counties served by Planned Parenthood have no alternative health-care provider. About 3% of its services are abortion-related, with the majority focused on providing contraception and screening for treating sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Despite these bursts in activism, the same thing that made the march an overwhelming success — it drew half a million in Washington alone, or twice as many as expected — also makes it hard to measure its long-term impact. Many of the women who streamed into Washington in buses, trains and planes are busy mothers, working professionals or older women who already fought the battle over women’s rights in the 1960s. “We won’t live long enough, most of us, to see

the damage done by any Supreme Court appointees that are going to be made during the Trump administration,” said Marcelle Leahy, wife of Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. “This is such an important time. You’re all geared up and I want you to go home and keep on going,” she told a breakfast before the march. Many marchers expressed interest in getting involved, but didn’t have concrete plans. Joan Treistman, who came from New York City to the march, was heading for lunch with her friend and daughter. It was her first time in public activism, and she left resolved to stay active. She said she planned to be in contact with her senators and local lawmakers as well as talk more with her friends about issues important to her. She had mixed emotions leaving the parade. “It’s the intersection of exhilaration being at the parade, and sadness that we have to be so vigilant” of government, she said. Women first began to run for office in the 1920s. Since the mid-1970s, women greatly increased their numbers in state government. Yet progress has slowed in recent years, and nationwide statistics show little or no growth in the numbers of women serving in state-level offices since the turn of the century, according to Rutgers data.

We may be seeing a new politics in the center and the left.” A CHANGE OF DIRECTION?

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

A top aide to President Trump said the new White House is using new metrics to assess the size of Trump’s inauguration: “alternative facts.” Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, told NBC’s Meet the Press that the flap over crowd sizes at the inauguration symbolize what she called negative coverage of the new president. While aerial photos showed that Trump drew a smaller crowd to his inaugural address than President Obama did, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Saturday: “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.” When Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd described that claim as a “falsehood,” Conway said: “You’re saying it’s a falsehood and Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that.” Todd shot back, however: “Alternative facts are not facts. They are falsehoods.” “I don’t think you can prove those numbers one way or another. There’s no way to really quantify crowds,” Conway said.

Last year’s surprising presidential primaries set the landscape for this year’s political turmoil. Among Republicans, Trump tapped rising discontent, especially among whites, men and workers who had watched wellpaying manufacturing jobs evaporate in the Rust Belt. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders did the same — especially among liberals, women and Millennials — with his strong bid for the Democratic nomination. Now both movements believe politics-as-usual has failed them, and neither owes their origins to the political establishment. While those in both movements would agree the nation is headed in the wrong direction, though, they disagree on just what the right direction would be. In his address Friday, Trump said his lodestar would be “America First,” a phrase with resonant history suggesting a withdrawal from global engagement.

Katie Page Sander “boycotted” watching Trump’s Inauguration, instead driving to Washington from her hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich., to march against him on Saturday. “Trump is the quintessential bully and we teach our children how to stand up to bullies,” she said, marching alongside her husband and three children. “What I hope is this is a catalyst that people realize you can’t be complacent any more.” A day earlier, Gary Nystrom of Boone, Iowa, was elated as he stood on the National Mall to watch Trump sworn in, calling it

Demonstrations in Washington are nothing new, even during Inaugural celebrations. Tens of thousands of marchers protested the Vietnam War during President Nixon’s second inaugural, in 1973. In 1877, the official swearing-in of Rutherford Hayes was held in secret for fear that supporters of Samuel Tilden, who had won the popular vote in a disputed election, might try to disrupt it. (There was a public ceremony the next day.) But the size of the protests in Washington and across the country Saturday were unprecedented, dwarfing the number of Americans who had gathered to cheer Trump into office. Arizona Sen.

On average, consumers pay $495 a month for a new car — but that will get worse if the Fed raises interest rates 3 times this year Susan Tompor USA TODAY

Will sticker shock — coupled with three rounds of possible interest rate hikes in 2017 — drive more consumers out of the newcar market? As the auto industry comes off back-to-back record sales years, some auto experts are questioning how high sales for new cars and trucks can grow given existing challenges and expected new higher-rate hurdles in 2017. Consumers are dealing with a world where some costs are going up far faster than many incomes. As interest rates go up, the cost of existing debt on credit cards and other variable rate loans will go up, as well. Before shopping for a new car, SUV or truck, it is becoming more important than ever to start out asking: What exactly can I afford? What’s a reasonable monthly payment? What other costs do I need to consider? And, really, how long do I expect to hold onto that new vehicle? “A lot of cars here today are 50 grand or more. Most people can’t afford that,” said Ryan Fortenbacher, 35, who was visiting the North American International Auto Show floor at Cobo Center in Detroit on Tuesday. The Detroit auto show ended Sunday. “What you used to be able to get for $20,000 is now $30,000.” Fortenbacher, a real estate agent from Columbus, Ohio, said he and his partner, Mark Fischer,

pay $260 a month for a Volkswagen Jetta and $360 a month for a Toyota 4Runner. The Toyota is a three-year lease, he said, because it would have cost nearly $700 a month on a five-year car loan for the $38,000 SUV. The Jetta has a 72-month loan at 0%. “If you asked me 10 years ago, I would never have done that,” he said, referring to the six-year car loan. One risk of a lengthy car loan is that you can owe far more than the car is worth if you want to unload it before you pay it off. On average, consumers are paying $495 a month for new-car loans based on data for the third quarter of 2016, according to Experian. That’s up from $447 in 2008. By contrast, the average rate on a new-car loan was 6.14% in 2008, compared with 4.69% in 2016. “We’ve seen a pretty sizable increase in monthly payments in the last eight years,” said Melinda Zabritski, senior director for automotive finance for Experian. “We certainly do have a market that’s becoming increasingly more expensive.” Consumers, on average, financed $24,060 for a new car in 2008, compared with $30,022 for the third quarter last year, according to Experian’s data. Some of the higher debt can be explained by higher sticker prices; added technology drives up overall costs, too. The popularity of pickup trucks and crossover utility vehicles, or CUVs, plays into the picture when it comes to bigger average new car payments. Back

Dale Wagnitz and his family look over a Lexus last week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. in 2008, the No. 1 spot for new car sales was small economy cars, Experian’s Zabritski said. Next, was the mid-range car and then the full-size pick-up truck. Now, the No. 1 spot is a more expensive, entry-level CUV, such as a Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V or Ford Escape, she said. No. 2 is the pick-up truck, then the economy car. The average loan on an entrylevel CUV was $25,966 from January through November 2016 — roughly $5,128 more than for a

small economy car. The average loan on a full-sized pickup: $39,039. Zabritski pointed out that the average new-car loan rate for an economy small car was 7.39% last year through November — reflecting that the price point attracts more subprime borrowers who face higher than average rates due to bad credit. The average payment: $363 a month. While many experts say the auto industry can keep selling at

these levels or a slightly lower pace, some experts are wondering if a road block could be reached soon. “We believe car affordability is holding new-car sales back,” said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for Autotrader. U.S. consumers bought a record 17.55 million new cars and trucks in 2016 — up from 17.47 million in 2015. But those sales are not that far off from the old record level of 17.35 million sales hit in 2000. Krebs said if one looks at the growth of the adult population, it’s theoretically possible that the industry could have sold another 3 million units or so in recent years. In 2000, the U.S. had 210 million people older than 18. By 2015, the country had 248 million people older than 18, she said. Essentially, it took 38 million more people to reach something close to 2000, she said. “Why aren’t we selling 20.5 million new vehicles?” Krebs asked. “Affordability. In our recent survey of consumers, we asked: ‘Why do you think you may not own or lease a new vehicle in the future?’ Fiftyseven percent said they could not afford it.” Every budget has its limits. So many consumers stretch out car loans — or lease — to keep a lower monthly payment. About 30% of new cars sold are leased, according to Experian. About 30.7% of new-car loans extend in the range of 73 months to 84 months, according to Experian. About 40.7% of new-car loans are in the 61month to 72-month range. Only 20% of new-car loans are in the 49-month to 60-month range.

Samsung reveals reason for Note 7 fires Company blames manufacturing and design flaws Edward C. Baig @edbaig USA TODAY

Ryan Fortenbacher, 35, who was visiting the Detroit auto show

NEW YORK Following an investigation that took months, Samsung has revealed the root causes behind those fireplagued Note 7 phones: design and manufacturing flaws associated with the lithium-ion batteries used in the phones, which were produced by Samsung’s unnamed battery suppliers. The company released the findings at a news conference in Seoul. Samsung conducted its own internal investigation to determine why some of the devices caught fire, and hired UL, Exponent and TUV Rheinland to conduct their own independent tests. The Note 7 debacle has been

a black eye for Samsung. The phones had to be recalled not once but twice before ultimately being put out to pasture. The episode damaged the Samsung brand and cost the company at least $5.3 billion. “It was a very tough several months for us. Clearly its impact to the consumers, its impact on channel partners and impact on our employees is not insignificant and we embrace that and we own that,” Tim Baxter, president and chief operating officer of Samsung Electronics America told USA TODAY in an interview. “We’ve learned quite a bit about crisis management in the past few months.” Added Samsung’s Korea-based mobile chief DJ Koh who also spoke to USA TODAY, “We are working around the clock to get back our business, to deliver the best product and get our customers trust back.” Samsung has been successful in getting the faulty phones back — the company says 97% of the Note 7 phones have been returned, with more than half of

the remaining 3% off the network. That’s far above typical product recall return rates. As part of its investigation, Samsung assigned more than 700 R&D engineers to try to replicate the Note 7 failures, along the way testing more than 200,000 Note 7 phones and more than 30,000

standalone batteries. The Note 7 involved more than one battery supplier. Thus, some Note 7s used what is being identified as Battery A and some used Battery B. While Samsung dictates the basic battery requirements — energy capacity, voltages, currents, external dimensions, etc. — the partners themselves have leeway in the materials they use and in the way they apply their own intellectual property. That not only meant that Battery A and Battery B were different from one another, but that the problems that surfaced in each also proved to be distinct. Samsung concluded that the defect associated with Battery A was a design flaw with the battery manufacturer in question not supplying sufficient space in the battery’s pouch to allow electrodes to remain straight. Battery B, on the other hand, was blamed on a manufacturing defect, related to an abnormal welding process that led to improper contact between a positive tab or terminal and a negative electrode.

Dear Annie: I’m lucky in that I feel as if I can talk to my parents about everything — everything, that is, except my dating life. My parents met in high school and got married while still attending their local state college. I’m in my mid20s, and though I’d like a family one day, I’m currently working on getting my master’s degree and working part time. This leaves little room for dating. My parents get their hopes up every time I tell them I’ve met a guy, and it crushes me to disappoint them when it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s tiring trying to explain to my mom that going on a few dates with a guy doesn’t mean that we’re on the road to marriage. Twenty-firstcentury dating is so complicated. I can’t imagine having a conversation with my mom about navigating Tinder or reading

into Instagram likes or being ghosted. I’ve stopped telling them about my dating life because it seems easier that way, but it also feels as if I’m hiding part of my life from my parents. Annie, how do I bridge this generational gap? — Single Sally Dear Single: Give your parents more credit, Sally. You think your generation is the first to experience guys disappearing after a few dates? Imagine only having a landline to communicate. Though

‘Slenderman’ explained in documentary A compelling documentary that lives up to its spooky title, “Beware the Slenderman” (9 p.m., HBO) takes a true crime story to illuminating (and terrifying) new places. Blending workmanlike police and court footage with original animation and extensive interviews and research, it brings profound insights about universal themes to what might have otherwise been exploited as a local tabloid shocker. In 2014, two seemingly innocent 12-year-old Wisconsin girls lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times. In police custody, they freely admitted their guilt as well as their motivation. They were trying to appease a faceless bogeyman they knew only from internet websites, an ominous creature known as Slenderman. The origins of Slenderman’s popularity on the internet, his appeal to impressionable and sometimes isolated young children and the mythic roots of such shared nightmares are the subjects of much of this film. We also meet the mother of one of the attackers and the father of another and hear the girls’ taped conversations with jailhouse therapists. So, in addition to exploring the universality of childhood fears, it spells out the attackers’ particular vulnerability to this delusion, as well as their peculiar willingness to act upon it. While fears of a bogeyman are as old as human psychology, the Slenderman meme dates only to 2009, when he was concocted as part of a Photoshop project. The fact that something so obscure, specific and forgettable became an international viral phenomenon so quickly indicates the power of his appeal and the willingness of his ‘‘followers’’ to become ‘‘believers.’’ Throughout the nearly twohour film we’re repeatedly assured by parents of both girls that they had absolutely no idea of the secret, hidden fantasy that had consumed them. This theme, that children live in a world all their own, susceptible to the most ominous fears adults know nothing about, is what gives ‘‘Beware the Slenderman’’ such power. O More than 50 years after her murder, the name Kitty Genovese remains a symbol of random urban violence and neighborly indifference. The “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) documentary ‘‘The Witness’’ follows Genovese’s brother as he recalls her life, death and the impact of her murder on society at large. Tonight’s other highlights O ‘‘Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS check local listings) focuses on Civil War artifacts.

Your parents should appreciate your dedication to finding the right man, as opposed to just settling down. Better to be the tortoise who takes her time getting married than the hare who’s speeding toward a divorce.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Jan. 23: This year you are likely to be quite adventuresome, especially if you are eyeing an important goal. Though you are quite capable of making a dream a reality, you also will want to be realistic. Friends surround you and are a source of support. If you are single, you could meet a potential suitor through a friend. If you are attached, the two of you realize a mutual dream this year, which adds a new dynamic to your 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 might want to let problems go toward the end of the day. Tonight: Opt for more fun and games. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ Relate to loved ones directly. You also might try to do this with a work associate, if you want a stronger bond. Tonight: Connect with someone at a distance. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Defer to others, as they tend to drown out your ideas at the moment. Tonight: Out and about. Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Pace yourself, as you have a long to-do list on top of all your normal obligations. Tonight: Head to the gym first. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Reach out to someone you care a lot about. News from a

and still hear him. I have done a lot of searching online for a solution to my problem. Here is what I found: If the snorer can keep his mouth shut, he will not snore. Snoring happens through the mouth. This is probably why you can buy those little bands that fit around the chin and head. In any case, Hubby won’t try to curb his snoring or move to another room, so it has been up to me to find a solution. Mine has been an iPod, noise-canceling earbuds and soothing music. For myself, I have decided I never want to put someone through this, so I have learned to sleep with my chin tucked firmly against my shoulder to keep my mouth shut. — Married to a Snorer — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

June Daus Preston After a 10-year struggle with Parkinson’s disease and dementia, June Daus Preston passed away peacefully on January 13, 2017 with family, friends and her beloved husband Floyd by her side. June was born June 16, 1923 in Los Angeles to Paul Harold Daus and Daphne Fortney Daus of Los Angeles, California. While in high school and during the first two years of college, she served as a Girl Scout counselor. In September 1941, she entered UCLA, majoring in astronomy. While a sophomore and later as a junior, she published two papers on the orbit of the newly discovered ninth satellite of Jupiter. In April of 1943, while a sophomore at UCLA, she met her future husband, Floyd Preston. She transferred to Berkeley to complete her astronomy degree and upon graduating in June of 1945, she returned to Los Angeles where she married Floyd on July 8, 1945. They honeymooned in Yosemite where she took up Floyd’s hobby of butterfly collecting which instantly become a joint avocation which they pursued together for the rest of their 71 year marriage. Within a month of returning from their honeymoon, World War II ended and they moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan where Floyd pursued his Master’s in Chemical Engineering. While at Ann Arbor, June worked in the lens design section of Argus Camera, on the soon to be produced C3 Model. They returned to southern California where Floyd worked at Standard Oil of California as a research engineer. Their first child, Carl Bruce Preston, was born in Whittier in 1949. In January 1951, the family moved to State College,

Pennsylvania where Floyd started on his doctorate in petroleum and natural gas. Their second child, Harold Wayne Preston, was born there in 1951. The family moved to Lawrence, Kansas in 1955 where Floyd had accepted a position as assistant professor of petroleum engineering. That year, their third son, Donald Floyd Preston was born. In 1958, their fourth son, Steven Dean Preston, was born. Shortly after Floyd was appointed associate professor of petroleum engineering, the family moved to Caracas, Venezuela in 1959 where Floyd had accepted a two-year appointment as an adviser to the Venezuelan Oil Ministry. While in Caracas, June served as a cub scout den mother and again in Lawrence. The family’s return to the United States in January of 1961 turned out to be the adventure of their lives as they were taken hostage for two weeks by Portuguese Nationalists when the cruise ship the family was on, the Santa Maria, was hijacked. Fortunately, for the Preston family, the adventure ended safely in Recife, Brazil. Once back in Lawrence, their lives quickly returned to normal. June became active in Plymouth Women at Plymouth Congregational church as well as the local chapter of the social sorority, Beta Sigma Phi. She joined the Green Thumb Garden Club of which she was still

a member, though inactive, at the time of her death. Foreign service called Floyd again, and in 1981, Floyd accepted a Fulbright Senior Lectureship in petroleum engineering at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and June and Floyd moved to Trinidad in 1981. Upon their return to Lawrence in 1982, June was appointed Editor of “NEWS of the Lepidopterists’ Society” where she served for nine years. Her outstanding service and leadership for the Lepidopterists’ Society earned her the John A. Comstock award. The Preston family was honored by a butterfly recently named for them, “Anthocharis julia prestonorum” commonly known as the Western Colorado Orangetip. While Floyd was teaching, their summers were taken up with family travel including searching for butterflies to add to their growing collection. Upon Floyd’s retirement in 1991, they travelled extensively throughout the United States, including Alaska and Canada. They also made short trips to Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil and Spain. At the honeymoon start, there were 400 specimens in the collection. The collection grew to 4,000 by the time Floyd retired in 1991. The collection was donated to the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at the University of Florida in Gainesville in 2010. The collection had grown to almost 100,000 specimens. The McGuire Center said, “The Lepidopera collection assembled by June & Floyd Preston is without doubt one of the most significant collections of North America species ever assembled. It not only represents two lifetimes of passionate pursuit of

ANNOUNCING...

North America butterflies, but it represents the best possible example of a thorough and well organized collection. And its incredible organization is a large part of why it is so important to the scientific community. They should be extraordinarily proud of their incalculable contributions to the science of Lepidopterology.” In 2007, June was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Their last year of travel was 2008. June is survived by her husband, Floyd W. Preston of the home; four sons, Bruce Preston (Linda), Fort Collins, CO, Harold Preston (Kathy) Carrolton, TX, Donald Preston (Bobbie Chapman) Kenmore, WA, Steven Preston (Sonia) Port Orchard, WA; 6 grandchildren; and 8 great grandchildren. June was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Lorel Lu. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made in her name to Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (Albert Lea, MN) or Racial Justice Fund at Plymouth Congregational Church and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary. Celebration of Life service for June Preston, 93, will be held 2:00p.m. Friday, February 3, 2017 at Plymouth Congregational Church. Private family inurnment will be held at Pioneer Cemetery in Lawrence. Online condolences may be posted at warrenmcelwain.com. Please sign this guestbook at Obituaries. LJWorld.com.

Jayhawks executing individual roles to near perfection By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Whenever a team rips off 18 consecutive victories as the Kansas men’s basketball team has since dropping the season opener back in November, there are a number of elements responsible for the run. From quality coaching and clutch play to finding their rhythm and lucky

breaks, the Jayhawks have experienced a little bit of all of it since starting this winning streak with a thrilling win over Duke at Madison Square Garden in New York City. But while many of those aspects have become the standard for Kansas basketball — faces change, expectations don’t — Texas coach Shaka Smart, whose team was knocked out by the

Jayhawks, 79-67 on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, pointed to a somewhat overlooked facet of what has made these Jayhawks so good. “I think one thing that they’ve done a terrific job at, and this is a testament to their coaching staff, is that they have very well-defined roles,” Smart said after the loss. “(Josh) Jackson is going to attack and do a lot of things. And, obviously,

he’s got a mismatch when he’s playing at the four spot. (Devonté) Graham and (Frank) Mason are going to do what they do. They’re going to control the ball, make plays and make plays at the end of the clock. (Landen) Lucas rebounds like crazy. And then they have guys that come in off the bench that have roles, as well.”

KANSAS CITY ROYALS STARTING PITCHER YORDANO VENTURA throws during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox Sept. 19, 2016, in Kansas City, Mo. Ventura died Sunday in a car crash on a stretch of highway near the town of San Adrian in his native Dominican Republic. He was 25.

Royals’ Ventura killed in car crash in Dominican Republic By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Yordano Ventura quit school as a teenager so he could begin working a construction job to help his family make ends meet, laboring day after day in the hot sun of the Dominican Republic. It was a chance tryout with the Kansas City Royals that changed the trajectory of his life. Yordano wowed scouts with an electrifying fastball, the best they had seen in years, and a confident demeanor that bordered on brash and arrogant. And both of those traits served him well as he rocketed to the major leagues, helped the Royals win a long-awaited World Series championship in 2015, and became one of the

Dominican Republic. He was 25. “Our team and our organization is hurting deeply,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “It’s certainly something that puts everything into strong perspective, and challenges us all to never grow tired or weary or cease to do what is right, and loving others. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. “We loved Yordano,” Moore said. “We loved his heart, we loved who he was as a teammate, a friend. He was somebody that challenged us all and made us better and I’m going to Orlin Wagner/AP Photo miss him.” FANS CREATE A MEMORIAL for Ventura Sunday outside the Royals’ Kauffman Stadium.

Two more joining Kansas football’s 2017 recruiting class By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

As the Feb. 1 National Signing Day gets closer, the Kansas football team continues to add to its Class of 2017. Two new recruits — defensive back Antonio Cole and receiver Quan Hampton — confirmed their commitments to Jon Kirby of

Jayhawk Slant Sunday, after weekend visits to KU. Rated a three-star junior college cornerback by Rivals, the 6-foot-1 Cole spent his 2016 season playing for Highland Community College. Cole, originally from Edmond, Okla., recorded 44 total tackles, made four interceptions and broke up six other passes for HCC as a sophomore.

Cole’s college career began at Northeastern Oklahoma A & M, at the juco level, but he transferred to Utah State after one season. That decision didn’t stick for Cole, though, and following a brief stint at Utah State, he returned to the junior college ranks to play at Highland CC. Following a strong sophomore year, Cole also

received offers from Iowa State, Minnesota, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe. After visiting KU, Cole told Jayhawk Slant he will not make a visit to Iowa State, as previously planned. “It was more than I expected it to be,” the defensive back said after his trip to Lawrence, in an interview with Jayhawk Slant.

“The facilities were very nice. The locker room was ridiculous. It was awesome. Everyone from the players Cole and coaches were genuine. It was really cool. I have been down this road before but this time I know I will be happy. KU is a place I want to be.” Hampton, a three-star

AP Sports Writer

La Quinta, Calif. — Hudson Swafford won the fittingly named CareerBuilder Challenge on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, following three straight birdies with a closing par for a one-stroke victory. Swafford shot a 5-under 67 on the Stadium Course at PGA West to finish the proam event at 20-under 268. The 29-year-old former Georgia player earned $1,044,000 and his first spot in the Masters. “They don’t give them away out here. It’s not easy,” Swafford said. Swafford “I’ve been close. I’ve been in the heat lately. Just keep putting myself in position, and this just feels unbelievable.” Adam Hadwin came back with a 70 after his third-round 59 to finish second. “I can’t help but be slightly disappointed,” Hadwin said. “I really wanted to come out here

and kind of prove that yesterday was just kind of a continuation of some good play and kind of get it done today, but I got beat. I felt like I did all the right things. Just a couple shots here and there and who knows what could have happened. But an incredible week, my best finish ever.” Brian Harman and Bud Cauley each shot 69 to tie for third at 18 under. Swafford tied Cauley for the lead with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-4 15th, then pulled away on the 16th and 17th — a day after he dropped three strokes on the holes. “Stepped up there and hit some really good shots on those two holes, knowing what happened yesterday,” Swafford said. “I was just really confident on those two holes today. I knew the bad stuff on those holes were gone. I had already seen it, it had already happened, and just visualizing really good shots.” On the par-5 16th, he hit a 4-iron 230 yards to 12 feet — staying out of the 18-foot deep bunker that he hit into Saturday en route to a double bogey — and two-putted to take the outright lead.

“Just trying to maybe chase it up on the front edge, and it was probably my best swing of the day,” Swafford said. “It was just right out of the middle, flew on the green. I thought it was actually even going to get closer than it did. But after what happened yesterday, I was really satisfied with that.” He hit to 1 1/2 feet on the par-3 17th, with the rock-lined island green called Alcatraz. “It was just choke up and swing an 8-iron and it ended up being perfect,” Swafford said Hadwin birdied the 16th and made a 25-footer on 17 to stay within a stroke. Swafford found the fairway on the par-4 18th with water along the left side, then avoided the water again with an approach to the right side of the green. He lagged his 20-footer to 2 inches for the victory. Hadwin’s drive on 18 settled in the dormant grass an inch from the green rough and his approach stayed right and settled into thick dormant rough. The Canadian saved par to finish second alone. “I would have loved to have put a little bit more pressure on Hud coming up the 18th,”

Hadwin said, “but just to be able to get up-and-down from the lie that I had from over there was pretty impressive.” Five strokes behind leader Chad Campbell after five holes, Swafford birdied Nos. 7-9 to join Campbell and Hadwin atop the leaderboard. On the par-5 eighth, Swafford cut a 5-wood into the middle of the green and lipped out for eagle. “The game just felt comfortable from there on,” Swafford said. “I just felt like I could hit any shot where I wanted to and just felt in total control.” Campbell holed out from 108 yards for eagle on the par-5 fifth, then made a triple bogey on the par-3 sixth — hitting into the water and three-putting. He finished with a 71 to tie for sixth at 16 under. Phil Mickelson shot a 70 to tie for a 21st at 11 under in the 46-yearold Hall of Famer’s return from two sports hernia surgeries. “I think this was a good start for me for the year,” Mickelson said. “The only way to find out where your game is at is to play in competition. ... I’m much further along than I thought I would be.”

FIGURE SKATING

Chen wins US title Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Nathan Chen followed a record-setting short program with a near-flawless free skate featuring five quadruple jumps Sunday to become the youngest men’s U.S. figure skating champion in more than five decades. The 17-year-old Chen, performing to “The Polovtsian Dances,” became the first skater in the world to land five clean quads in competition. The result was a free skate score of 212.08 — more than the composite of several rivals — and finished with a 318.47 total that put him well clear of the competition. Chen’s aerial showcase began with a quad lutz-triple toe combination and never slowed down, his only bobble coming on a triple flip-triple toe as his sprightly program was coming to an end. By that point, his coach Rafael Arutunian was already shaking his fists in celebration.

Unless he gets ejected after protesting a referees’ call. The Greeley Tribune reports Norton was ejected from Saturday’s game against Weber State University when officials said he got up from his courtside seat and walked onto the floor to object. Norton denied being on the court, saying, “I’m behaving.” He was later readmitted and watched the rest of the game from another seat several rows up. Northern Colorado coach Jeff Linder joked that he would have to send Norton treats because they’re neighbors. Weber State won, 74-69.

KU women fall to TCU By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

TCU dominated the boards and had no trouble getting the ball inside in an 83-68 victory Sunday night in Schollmaier Arena to keep the Kansas women’s basketball team winless in Big 12 play. The Horned Frogs (109 overall, 2-6 in the Big 12) held a 52-35 rebounding advantage over Kansas (6-13, 0-8) and scored 38 points in the paint, compared to 24 for the Jayhawks. TCU’s AJ Alix, scoring on drives to the hoop and 3-pointers, led all scorers with 22 points. As is usually the case, most of KU’s shots were launched by Jessica Washington and McKenzie Calvert, a pair of highly touted transfers. Washington led the Jayhawks in scoring for the fourth consecutive game, tallying 19 points, and added six rebounds and five assists. She made 5 of 17 shots and 2 of 6 3-pointers. Coming off the bench, Calvert made 4 of 16 field goals and 2 of 7 3-pointers for 10 points to go with four rebounds and three assists. Sophomore Kylee Kopatich joined them in double figures with 10 points and contributed eight rebounds, three assists and four steals without committing a turnover. Hot long-distance shooting (7 of 15) kept Kansas close in a first half that included nine lead changes. TCU led, 37-34, at intermission, but the Jayhawks went cold and the Horned Frogs took a 62-49 lead into the fourth quarter. Despite making just 2 of 10 3-pointers in the

Santo Domingo, the nation’s capital. Mateo did not say whether Ventura was driving. He’s the second young star pitcher to die in the past four months. Marlins ace Jose Fernandez was 24 when he was killed along with two other men in a boating accident near Miami Beach in late September. Also Sunday, former major league infielder Andy Marte died in a separate car accident in the Dominican Republic. Metropolitan traffic authorities said he died about 95 miles north of the capital. “I was traveling to the airport this morning and I got a phone call wanting to know if I’d heard about Yordano, and I thought they meant Marte,” Moore said. “My first thought was, ‘Were they together?’ “Then shortly afterwards, I got a call from Major League Baseball confirming this tragedy.” The Dominican Republic has the secondhighest traffic-related death rate in the world — officials there believe alcohol, speed and a blatant disregard for traffic laws is to blame.

NFL PLAYOFFS

Falcons, Patriots headed to Super Bowl The Associated Press

Falcons 44, Packers 21 Atlanta — Matt Ryan tumbled into the end zone, slammed the ball to the turf with a thunderous spike, and let out a scream that showed just how much he wanted this game. He wants the next one even more. With another MVP-worthy performance and plenty of help from Julio Jones, Matty Ice guided the Atlanta Falcons to a 44-21 rout of the Green Bay Packers for the NFC championship Sunday, a showing that erased any doubts about whether Ryan can win the big games. In his ninth season, he’s finally headed to his first Super Bowl. Call him Super Matty. “We’ll enjoy it because it’s hard to get to this point. I know that from experience,” Ryan said. “But our ultimate goal is still in front of us.” The Falcons (13-5) will face Tom Brady and the Patriots on Feb. 5 in Houston, just the second Super Bowl appearance in Atlanta’s 51-year history. Eighteen years ago, they lost to Denver in John Elway’s final game. New England, heading to its ninth Super Bowl, blew out Pittsburgh 36-17. The Patriots opened as a 3-point favorite. Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns, but it was his 14-yard scoring run — his first TD on the ground since 2012 — that really set the tone. Jones was right in the middle of things, too. After barely practicing during the week because of a lingering toe injury, he finished off the Packers with a 73yard catch-and-run on Atlanta’s second snap of the second half, pushing the lead to 31-0 and essentially turning the rest of the Georgia Dome finale into one long celebration. “He’s a beast,” Ryan said. “I’ve been lucky to play with him as long as I have. He was impressive today. I know he wasn’t feeling his best, but he’s a warrior.” Jones finished with nine

catches for 180 yards and two scores, which included a toedragging catch for a 5-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left in the first half, sending the Falcons to the locker room up 24-0. After the break: the play that showed every one of Jones’ remarkable skill. He blazed down the middle of the field, shook off LaDarius Gunter’s attempt to grab him on a cut toward the sideline, hauled in the pass from Ryan, broke Gunter’s diving attempt at tackle, and defiantly knocked away Damarious Randall’s with a brutal stiff-arm. “I didn’t practice that much throughout the week,” Jones said, “but today I came out and gave it all I had.” Ryan sparked more delirious chants of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” as he carved up an injury-plagued Packers secondary that had no way of stopping a team that averaged nearly 34 points a game during the regular season and romped to a 36-20 victory against Seattle’s Legion of Boom last week.

Patriots 36, Steelers 17 Foxborough, Mass. — The Tom Brady redemption tour is headed to the Super Bowl. After beginning the 2016 season suspended for four games for his role in the “Deflategate” scandal, the New England quarterback relentlessly carried the Patriots to an unprecedented ninth appearance in the title game, and his seventh. Brady threw for a franchise playoff-best 384 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-17 rout of the helpless Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in New England’s seventh consecutive AFC championship game. The Patriots are early 3-point favorites heading to face Atlanta in two weeks in Houston, seeking their fifth NFL title with Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick as coach. Belichick’s seventh appearance in a Super Bowl will be a record for a head coach. Brady was banned by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when New England (16-2) went

3-1 to open the schedule. Since his return in Week 5, the only defeat came at home to Seattle, and Brady, 39, had one of the best seasons of a Hall of Famecaliber career. He punctuated that in dreary weather similar to the 2014 conference title game that precipitated the deflated footballs investigation by flattening Pittsburgh’s secondary. “This is my motivation right here, all these fellas in front of me, these guys,” Brady said, pointing to his teammates and ignoring mentions of “Deflategate.” ‘‘The boys showed up to play today.” Brady’s main weapon was Chris Hogan. The previously unheralded receiver found open spaces everywhere on the field against a leaky secondary. Hogan caught nine balls for 180 yards and two scores. Top wideout Julian Edelman added eight receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown as Brady tied Joe Montana’s playoff record with nine three-TD passing performances. Brady also had his 11th 300-yard postseason game, extending his NFL record, completing 32 of 42 throws. The ending for Pittsburgh (136) was anything but perfect. It lost star running back Le’Veon Bell late in the first quarter to a groin injury. That didn’t seem to matter much in a record 16th conference title match for the Steelers, who made mistakes in every facet of the game. The franchise that has won the most Super Bowls, six, and the most postseason games, 36, never seemed likely to challenge in the misty rain. “We’ve got to be capable of overcoming those things,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “Injuries and so forth are part of the game. The reality is we didn’t make enough plays in any of the three phases. The game kind of unfolded in the way they would like it to as opposed to the way we would like it to. Not only in score, but in style of play and so forth. We didn’t get a lot accomplished tonight.”

Rufino Linares and Jose Uribe are among players who have died in crashes in the country. It wasn’t known whether Ventura had been drinking or speeding at the time of his accident. Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez, a fellow Dominican whom Ventura called his hero, posted pictures of Ventura and Marte on Twitter and said, “Guys, the only way we can pay tribute to you, is by reflecting on the adjustments we all have to make in this game called life.” Moore speaks frequently with Latin American players about dangers of returning home, including driving on the perilous roads. “I’m more intentional about it to the point where it probably goes in one ear and out the other,” Moore said, “but we’re constantly discussing these things.” The Royals lowered flags at Kauffman Stadium to half-staff Sunday, and displayed Ventura’s photograph on the large, crown-shaped scoreboard in centerfield of the empty ballpark. Fans were leaving flowers, hats and other mementos within hours of learning of his death. Royals teammates learned the news in a text chain and took to Twitter to share their sorrow.

“I love you my brother. I’m in disbelief and don’t know what to say,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said. Third baseman Mike Moustakas also expressed disbelief, tweeting: “I love you Ace. I don’t know what to say other than I’m going to miss you a lot. RIP ACE.” Ventura will be buried Tuesday in the Dominican Republic. Moore, manager Ned Yost and other members of the Royals are planning to attend. Before his start in Game 6 of the 2014 World Series, Ventura paid tribute to Taveras, his close friend and countryman who had been killed days earlier in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Ventura wrote “RIP O.T #18” on his hat and also wrote messages on his glove, cleats and the mound before shutting out San Francisco for seven innings in a win. “If he was still here, I would for sure be talking to him, and Oscar would be very happy for me,” Ventura said afterward. “Oscar was a very humble guy and very likable, and I’m going to miss him a lot.” Ventura signed a $23 million, five-year deal with the Royals shortly before he started on opening day in 2015. He then helped them bounce

back from their loss to the Giants in Game 7 by returning to the World Series and beating the New York Mets in five games for their first crown since 1985. The right-hander went 11-12 with a 4.45 ERA last season, and his fiery demeanor was never more evident than when he hit Orioles star Manny Machado with a fastball to trigger a brawl. Ventura was suspended nine games for the pitch, though it was cut to eight on appeal. In a surreal coincidence, the 33-year-old Marte played his final game in the big leagues for Arizona on Aug. 6, 2014. Ventura started that game for Kansas City. “We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Andy Marte and Yordano Ventura,” players’ union executive Tony Clark said. “It’s never easy to lose a member of our fraternity, and there are no words to describe the feeling of losing two young men in the prime of their lives. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families, friends, teammates and fans throughout the United States and Latin America.” Moore said he spoke to Miami general manager Mike Hill early Sunday, in part because Moore admired the grace and

heart in which the Marlins organization dealt with Fernandez’s death. It wasn’t certain whether Fernandez was driving the boat when it crashed on Sept. 25. He had a blood-alcohol content level of 0.147, above Florida’s legal limit of 0.08, according to autopsy reports released by the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office. “That was one of the first things that came to mind when I began to figure out how we were going to process this,” Moore said. “Mike was able to provide some insight. Just give me some comfort, really.” Ventura wound up pitching his entire career for the Royals, going 38-31 with a 3.89 ERA. Born June 3, 1991, in Samana, Dominican Republic, Ventura was a true rags-to-riches story. He quit school at 14 and was laboring on a construction crew to support his family when he heard about a tryout, which led to a spot in the Royals’ academy located on his picturesque island home. Still, the odds were long that Ventura would ever make it to the big leagues. Very few players from the Dominican academies reached the pinnacle of the sport. But over time, Ventura

was able to harness one of the most electric fastballs that scouts had seen in years, and his headstrong and confident nature was essential to his rapid rise. He made his debut to great fanfare in 2013, allowing just one run against Cleveland in a sign of things to come. He eventually became a cornerstone of a youth movement that included young stars such as Hosmer and Moustakas, one that carried the Royals first to respectability, then to the top of the American League. He was 14-10 with a 3.20 ERA in 2014, his first full season in the big leagues, and helped the Royals reach the World Series for the first time in nearly three decades. Then he helped to lead them back to the Fall Classic in 2015, this time completing the job on a crisp night in New York. “He always had a zest for life, an innocence about the game, a freshness, a fearlessness,” Moore said, his voice cracking. “He was a very compassionate human being, loved to compete, no doubt challenged us, but that made us better. Nobody could ever doubt how much he cared about his teammates, how much he cared about the fans, and how much he loved to compete and to pitch.”

for the final 36 minutes, the contributions of Carlton Bragg Jr., Lagerald Vick and Mitch Lightfoot certainly made an impact. Together, that trio combined for 15 points and seven rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting in 37 minutes, each while playing a very specific role. Vick, as he has all season, played 18 minutes and served as the team’s fifth guard, a versatile option used to spell any of the four starters and a

weapon from three-point range, in transition and on the glass. Bragg, whose 6-foot-10 frame was of particular importance in this one given the size of Texas’ front line, took up space on both ends and hit three of five shots and a pair of free throws. And Lightfoot, who had not played in KU’s last two games and stepped on the floor for just four minutes in the Jayhawks’ previous six games,

provided good energy and key rest for an ailing Lucas during his four first-half minutes. It’s not just the Jayhawks’ ability to understand and execute traditional roles of starter versus reserve or veteran versus rookie that has made this team click. The Jayhawks also have done an impressive job of spreading the wealth when it comes to the role of big-shot maker, especially when answering an

opponent’s run. “Svi didn’t have a big game, but he made a couple of timely plays,” Self explained. “Devonté didn’t (score) the second half until the end. We have had different players step up and make positive plays when the game is on the line.” The unselfish nature of the individual players on this team has made the Kansas offense a bear to prepare for and tough play against. It also has

played a huge part in so many talented players sliding so effortlessly into the roles where they’re currently flourishing. “This is pretty much what I expected out of us,” Jackson said after Saturday’s win. “I knew we had a great team from the beginning. It was sad for us to lose the very first game of the season, but all in all, it didn’t really mean that much. I think these are the games that mean the most.”

How former Jayhawks fared

Warriors 118, Magic 98 Orlando, Fla. — Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each hit seven 3-pointers and Golden State won its seventh straight game, beating Orlando on Sunday. Tied at the half, the Warriors woke up from West Coast time in the second half to pull away. This was the first Eastern time zone noon tip for them since 1995, when they lost by 34 points in Orlando. Curry went 7 for 13 on 3s and scored 27 points while Thompson as 7 for 9 from behind the arc and had 21 points. The Warriors shot 19 of 42 overall from 3-point range while the Magic went 7 for 28.

Lakers, who have lost six of their last seven games this season. The 49-point defeat just edged Los Angeles’ two previous worst losses at 48 points, most recently 123-75 at Utah on March 28, 2016.

Suns 115, Raptors 103 Toronto — Eric Bledsoe scored a career-high 40 points and had 13 assists and Phoenix handed Toronto its third straight loss. Bledsoe was 11 of 17 from the floor, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range, and Devin Booker added 20 points as the Suns won their second straight road game following Saturday’s win at New York. The victory also completed a season sweep of the Raptors for the first time since 2013-14 and improved Phoenix to 11-6 against Eastern Conference teams this season. DeMar DeRozan had 22 points for Toronto and Jonas Valanciunas added 16 points and 12 rebounds for his 17th double-double of the season.

No. 22 Xavier 86, Georgetown 75 Cincinnati — Edmond Sumner overcame a painful left shoulder and led a second-half surge that swept Xavier to a victory over Georgetown on Sunday, ending the Musketeers’ longest losing streak in three years. Xavier (14-5, 4-3) had

dropped three straight — all against ranked Big East teams. The Musketeers allowed a 12-point lead to slip away in the second half on Sunday before their injured point guard frustrated the Hoyas (10-10, 1-6) again. Sumner had a career-high 28 points in an 81-76 win at Georgetown on Dec. 31. Sumner wore a support on his injured left shoulder and sat on the bench

grimacing late in the first half. He had a jumper, a 3-point play and a pair of free throws during a 12-3 run that put Xavier in control 70-61. He finished with 14 points. Trevon Bluiett led Xavier with 24 points. J.P. Macura added 20.

Three times, within three minutes Sunday morning, Beaty took to Twitter to tweet out his signature “#NeatDeal” message, as he does every time a new player tells the coach he will play at Kansas. It’s possible the third recruit to give Beaty his word was Darreon Jackson, a safety from Coffeyville Community College who visited KU this weekend, too. Jackson, who played high school football at Derby, told Jayhawk Slant he would announce his decision today. Rated a three-star safety by Rivals, the 6-foot-1 Jackson also reportedly has offers from Tulane, Southern Miss and Arkansas State.
