Sidewalk inspections to start prior to repair policy draft By Rochelle Valverde

A MAP DEPICTING EIGHT ZONES into which City of Lawrence staff has divided sidewalks for inspection.

rvalverde@ljworld.com

The City of Lawrence is starting its first round of sidewalk inspections in preparation for what is likely to be a lively debate on how the repairs will be enforced. As part of a push to enforce the city’s longstanding sidewalk repair policy, which puts the responsibility for repairing sidewalks

on the adjacent property owner, city inspectors will begin marking deficient sidewalks and inputting their condition into a city database today. “They’ll just walk and when they find a defect, they’ll document that defect and take a picture of it,” said Mark Thiel, assistant public works director. “And it all gets done through our Geographical Information System, so it’s in real time.”

Any further action, such as sending notices to property owners, is contingent upon the City Commission’s pending decision on exactly how it would like the policy to be enforced. Several ideas have been proposed, including a loan and/or grant program to cover repairs for low-income residents. Some commissioners have also said they are

Trump’s presidency both unites and divides women in Kansas child care and a host of other issues, which many activists say are under threat in the new Trump administration. At the same time, however, Trump’s presidency is also highlighting a sharp division that has existed for years among many politically active women over one of the most contentious political issues of modern times: abortion, which was the focus of a huge march Friday in Washington.

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Donald Trump’s presidency has galvanized women’s political groups in Kansas like nothing ever before, leaders of those organizations say. That was evident on Jan. 21, when women’s groups staged massive marches in Washington, D.C., and cities across America, including Topeka, to voice support for equal pay, affordable

ANTI-ABORTION ACTIVISTS RALLIED at the south steps of the Kansas Statehouse last Monday to mark the 44th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling Roe vs. Wade that legalized abortion nationwide. Some have said the issue of abortion is dividing politically active women who otherwise agree about many topics.

In fact, one Texasbased group called New Wave Feminists claimed last week that it was excluded from the women’s march because of its stance against abortion. Elise Higgins, who lobbies in Topeka for Planned Parenthood Great Plains, said that was not the case in Kansas. But she did not deny the division exists. “I am not aware of any restrictions on

added the issues of overincarceration and racism to its advocacy list. Those are issues that affect those who aren’t traditionally heard in the community, she said. In its first three years, Justice Matters gained Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib’s commitment to provide, by the end of 2017, Crisis Intervention Team training to all of the department’s law enforcement officers. The training shows officers how to identify and respond to individuals with mental health problems. It was also instrumental in “rescuing” a long-dormant $100,000 affordable housing trust fund as leverage to building three affordable housing units in Lawrence, Lechtenberg said. In addition, it has been used in schools and preschools to identify and work with students who have what are called Adverse Childhood Experiences.

DART help Although the organization suddenly started making headlines three years ago, a great deal of groundwork went into its formation and the selection of issues it would advance, Lechtenberg said. It also benefited from its association with a national faith-based nonprofit dedicated to encouraging community action at local levels. Justice Matters leaders say it is one of 22 grass-roots, nonprofit, congregation-based community organizations in the country that are affiliated with the Direct Action and Research Training Center of Miami. The DART Center’s website states it has trained more than 10,000 community leaders and 150 professional community organizers to successfully advocate for such things as limiting out-of-school suspensions and juvenile arrests, expansion of public transportation, improving health care accessibility and encouraging investment in affordable housing. Justice Matters’ leaders say the DART Center’s contribution was the template it provided for its grass-roots organizational structure. It is through that structure that issues are identified and eventually adopted for group action, they said. That three-step DART Center template calls for first a listening stage in which congregational

participation in the local women’s marches,” she said. “That said, the marches in Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City did include advocates of abortion rights, speaking out about the importance of a woman’s ability to control her body and thus her future.” But Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion organization, said she and other women who oppose abortion do feel shunned by other feminist groups, even though they may agree on many issues such as equal pay and access to child care. “Their attitude toward us is so awful, so terrible. They really see us as an enemy,” Culp Culp said. Higgins emphasized, though, that feminist groups have many more concerns about the Trump administration than just abortion. “The important thing to

crisis center advocacy with county officials, it was clear that facility would be linked to a jail expansion. It was a linkage that has continued to delay the center’s opening and the badly needed services it would provide, said Ben MacConnell, Justice Matters lead organizer. The county’s position of linking the jail expansion with a crisis center led Justice Matters to join an ongoing national debate and, in 2015, add overincarceration as its fourth action issue. With that, Justice Matters has urged the county to uncouple the crisis center from the proposed jail expansion and seek outside expertise to help with its review of the county’s criminal justice system, MacConnell said. It first asked county officials to be among the local jurisdictions the Vera Institute of Justice was assisting through a $75 million MacArthur Foundation grant. The county chose instead to seek a U.S. Department of Justice grant that placed two Bert Nash Community Health Center case managers in the jail for the AssessIdentify-Divert program, he said.

leaders meet with fellow members to strengthen relationships, network and discuss community concerns. From those conversations, leaders select a few major issues on which to focus. The second step is defined as the research step in which leaders form committees to look for viable solutions and reach out to experts in the community. The final step occurs at annual Nehemiah action assemblies, at which all the group’s congregations gather to — in the words of the DART Center home page — “hear testimonies as to how these issues affect people’s lives and negotiate solutions with appropriate authorities in attendance.” But the Nehemiah assemblies have not been without controversy. Douglas County commissioners contend that if all three county commissioners attend and negotiate policy, the assemblies become a violation of the state’s open meetings law. “I understand how powerful it is to have all the elected leaders on stage give a nod to Justice Matters’ agenda,” Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman said, “but it is important public policy be made through the proper procedures we take an oath to uphold. I wouldn’t do what they are asking for the Audubon Society or any other group.”

remember about the women’s marches is that no woman is just a woman,” she said. “The women at these marches are women of color, transgender women, immigrants, women with disabilities and LGBTQ women. And because of that, there are a multitude of issues that matter to these women and make equal impact on their lives. “I personally was there to represent Planned Parenthood,” she added, “and to en- Higgins courage women to get involved in the fight for reproductive rights.” Culp agreed that there is a wide array of political issues that affect women’s lives. But she said she believes feminist groups focus too much on abortion, sometimes to the exclusion of other important issues. She put it this way: “Why are we supposed to be happy that we get to have abortions on Main Street instead of in a back street when we’re not treated the same in the workplace?” Abortion will be the

focus of attention in the coming week, however, both nationally and in Kansas, as Trump prepares to announce his first nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday. “We do expect President Trump to nominate a Supreme Court justice who is anti-choice, and so organizations that provide health care to women across the country are standing at alert, ready to make our voices heard to the United States Senate,” Higgins said. Culp, meanwhile, said Trump’s position on abortion, and his promise to appoint like-minded Supreme Court justices, was the primary, but not necessarily the only, reason why Kansans for Life and similar groups endorsed him for president. “We want a strict constructionist, one who goes by original writing of the Constitution,” she said. “Roe v.

The opportunity of hitting the pause button is now.” The Douglas County Commission argues it hit that pause button in April 2016 when it agreed reviews by the CJCC would not be finished in time for a November 2016 bond election for the jail expansion and crisis center. It remains on pause with Commissioners Thellman and Mike Gaughan, allowing new 2nd District Commissioner Michelle Derusseau time to get comfortable with the issues. For her part, Derusseau said she wanted to take the time needed to ensure the right decisions were made. Any assessment of jail overcrowding would find the county cannot address all its causes on its own, Thellman said. Statemandated sentencing statutes have lengthened inmate stays and cuts to the Douglas County District Court have stretched out trial processes, while a decrease in public defender compensation has hindered effective representation of inmates, she said. The county would welcome Justice Matters’ help in Topeka on those issues, as well as advocacy that the state reverse cuts to mental health spending, Thellman said. Krehbiel said Justice Matters has concentrated efforts at the local level because that was where the organization believed it could make the biggest difference. The group would consider a request from the county to partner in the advocacy of jail overcrowding issues, he said. At a minimum, Justice Matters wants assurance that only those who need to be incarcerated for public safety are in jail, and that the facility is the option of last resort in the county’s criminal justice system, Krehbiel and MacConnell said. “Rather than the best possible jail, we should want the best possible criminal justice system,” MacConnell said. “That is something we could all be proud of.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

Trump is said to be considering for the Supreme Court is 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Neil M. Gorsuch of Colorado. Gorsuch has never issued a ruling on abortion, but some legal analysts have said his rulings in other areas point to a legal philosophy that tends to reject the reasoning behind Roe v. Wade.

Other potential picks being mentioned include Judge Thomas Hardiman of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, and Judge Thomas Lee of the Utah Supreme Court, whose brother Mike Lee is a U.S. senator from Utah. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222.

LAWRENCE FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDED TO A FIRE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING at 1500 Barker Ave. An investigator at the scene Sunday morning with Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical said the house was unoccupied and that the cause of the fire remained under investigation.

Tolefree said the department responded to the fire at 3:35 a.m. Sunday. Firefighters arrived to find flames visible from the rear of the single-story wood-frame residence on the southeast corner of the Barker Avenue and 15th Street intersection. The fire at the vacant house

was extinguished and declared under control at 4:12 a.m, she said. There were no injuries to firefighters from the incident, Tolefree said. The department continues to investigate the cause of the fire. There is not yet an estimate of damages, she said.

Investigations into Kansas child deaths shrouded in secrecy

The Lawrence Public Library, Watkins Community Museum and Douglas County Genealogical Society on Sunday launched their collaborative online local history portal with a warning about the site’s seductive content. Addressing a Kansas Day gathering at the Lawrence Public Library marking the launch of the collaborative online site, history. lplks.org, Peter Carttar advised viewers to have time to spare when they start looking at the collection of postcards his mother-in-law, Sally Postma, and her mother, Charline Fitzpatrick, amassed. “I get into these, and I get lost,” he said. “It’s the same kind of thing as going down internet rabbit holes.” Also accessible on the site are all the published materials of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, which disbanded at the end of 2016, various photographs from the Watkins Museum and interviews from the city of Lawrence’s ongoing oral history project commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Lawrence Fair Housing Ordinance. The postcards Fitzpatrick and Postma collected nearly all depict scenes of Lawrence from the late 19th century through the first two decades of the 20th century, Carttar said. The collection contains many photographs of downtown Lawrence, Haskell Indian Nations University, the University of Kansas and various disasters that visited the town from a 1911 tornado to ice flow jams on the Kansas River, he said. Rosalea Carttar said her mother and

“

— Peter Carttar, in announcing the launch of the site

grandmother filled “albums and albums” of postcards by going to conventions dedicated to the hobby, perusing postcard newspapers and building a network of other enthusiasts. Her mother would buy out the supplies of merchants as well as their postcard displays, on which she would rotate cards with seasonal themes. For many years, the Carttars have wanted to make the collection available to the public but were concerned about the safety of a family treasure, said Brad Allen, executive director of the Lawrence Public Library. The new online local history portal was the way to safely put the collection before a larger audience, he said. The portal represents the fulfillment of a goal of working with the Watkins Museum on an internet presence, which was included in the library’s successful 2012 application for a fiveyear $275,000 National Endowment for the Humanities grant, said Kathleen Morgan, the library’s development and community partnership director. “It feels good we can mark that off when we make our next annual report to NEH,” she said. The digital effort also got a recent boost when the Douglas County Genealogical Society, knowing it was about to disband, had all its documents formatted

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Kansas welfare officials rarely release details after a child’s death or serious injury despite a decade-old law designed to provide more transparency, a newspaper investigation found. The Kansas City Star reports that it has made numerous requests for documents to see how officials with the Kansas Department for Children

and Families were complying with the 2004 law. It found that of 15 requests from the media, covering 10 cases, the department released information about the department’s involvement in only one instance. “The law is there to protect children,” said Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat and attorney who has worked in family court. “But the current

wanted to make sure we had in all of our geographic regions,” Thiel said. The standing policy, though, isn’t without its detractors. The Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods recently released a statement of opposition to enforcement of the policy in its current form. LAN, which includes representatives from about a dozen Lawrence neighborhoods, decided on its stance following a vote, said LAN co-chair Candice Davis. LAN wants the city to look into options beyond having residents foot the bill directly. The statement reads, in part: “LAN wishes to explore the possibility of the city combining sidewalks into infrastructure policies, including cost and maintenance. LAN is of the opinion that there has not been enough research into an equitable solution for sidewalk maintenance that is financed by taxpayers citywide.” The statement was sent to city commissioners and city staff. Davis said the idea is that they want the commission to focus on an equitable way to pay for repairs, noting that sidewalks are used by everybody. “There are a lot of variables,” Davis said. “I

interested in discussing the city using tax dollars to help fund repairs. The city has operated on a complaint-based system for years, and didn’t enforce the standing policy with more than warning letters. It is estimated that more than one-third of the approximately 40,000 lots in the city have adjacent sidewalks that are out of compliance. The cost of those repairs is estimated to be about $6.1 million. As part of the work to address the repair needs, city employees have broken Lawrence into eight geographic regions, which they indicate would be a manageable amount of sidewalk to inspect and repair in a single year. Thiel said the first year of inspections will be on the northwestern region, a more recently developed section of the city that he said contains all the components the city will have to oversee: schools, retail and residential, as well as arterial and collector streets. “It included many of the attributes that we

Bathroom bill unnecessary A proposed Kansas law on student restrooms should never see the light of day.

Kansas lawmaker’s bill to prevent transgender students from using bathrooms associated with their gender identities is a solution to a nonexistent problem and should be defeated. Republican state Rep. John Whitmer, of Wichita, introduced the bill Thursday in the House, arguing the measure would protect students, according to a story from the Associated Press. Under the bill, schools could not allow transgender students to use bathrooms or locker rooms associated with the gender opposite of theirs at birth. The policy also would apply to overnight accommodations when student groups travel. Similar bills were proposed in the House and Senate last session but both died in committee. Transgender bathroom laws have been attempted in other states, and most have failed. The notable exception is North Carolina, which signed the Public Facilities Privacy and Securities Act into law last year. That law says that in government buildings, an individual must use restrooms and changing facilities corresponding with the gender the individual was assigned on their birth certificate. The North Carolina law spawned widespread criticism and boycotts of events in North Carolina. Companies such as PayPal and Deutsche Bank halted expansion plans in North Carolina. Estimates are that the reaction to the law cost the state thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in economic activity. Whitmer told the Topeka Capital-Journal that unlike the North Carolina law or the Kansas bills proposed last year, which addressed all public buildings, his bill is focused solely on K-12 public schools. “We’re just talking K-12 and all we’re doing is we’re saying, ‘Boys to boys, girls to girls and a reasonable accommodation for anybody who needs it.’ That’s it,” he said. Critics say such laws unfairly target and embarrass transgender students. Others, including some in Whitmer’s party, argue that transgender bathroom policies should be left to local school districts to decide. Whitmer said he wants to protect public school students. But what is he protecting them from? Can he cite any instance in Kansas in which the use of a school restroom has created a concern that merited a legislative response? Kansas faces a severe budget crisis. The last thing the legislature needs to spend serious legislative time on is an unnecessary transgender bathroom law. Whitmer’s bill shouldn’t see the light of day.

Wrecking-ball approach doesn’t work Washington — President Trump’s slash-and-burn actions in his first week have been dramatic, but dangerously lacking in a consensus of support, even within his own administration. The risks were evident in the collapse of a planned meeting with Mexico’s president and in Trump’s embrace of torture tactics rejected by his secretary of defense and CIA director. Trump’s “tweet from the hip” style produced its first real foreign rupture Thursday, when Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a planned visit to Washington. That followed Trump’s tweet that he should stay away if he wasn’t ready to pay for the often-proclaimed border wall. The Twitter grenade blew up what had been an attempt to finesse the issue with a delayed Mexican financial contribution for the wall, an approach that Trump himself had only hours before supported in an interview with ABC’s David Muir. Now, Trump has an avoidable Mexico crisis to deal with. The torture issue was another self-inflicted wound. The CIA doesn’t want to go back into the secret detention and waterboarding business. There’s a law banning torture, for the simple reason that it “shocks the conscience” of many Americans. And some foreign intelligence services would refuse to share information with an America that used such techniques.

“

Trump’s bombastic nature undermines his ability to address the problems he cares most about.” The weird disconnect between Trump’s wreckingball comments and the more delicate process of governing was illustrated by the flap over a draft executive order to revive CIA’s “black sites” for detention and interrogation. After the memo surfaced Wednesday in The New York Times, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer insisted that it was “not a White House document.” But then a few hours later, Trump was raging in his interview with Muir that torture “works ... absolutely” and “we have to fight fire with fire.” Like so many of Trump’s tweets, these comments are disruptive and destabilizing — but mainly to his own administration. They make the job of his new CIA Director Mike Pompeo harder. If the first week of the Trump presidency showed us anything, it’s that he’s more determined to overturn the established trade,

economic and national-security order than even his critics feared. So far, there’s more Stephen Bannon and less Reince Priebus in this White House. The costs of Trump’s impulsive, thinskinned behavior have also become clearer. He keeps proclaiming how well he’s doing, but his aides have seemingly worked nonstop to put out fires ignited by their boss. Whether Trump’s tweeting and his alt-right tilt can be tempered by James Mattis at Defense and Rex Tillerson at State looks more dubious. This will worry foreign leaders who had found the Mattis and Tillerson nominations reassuring, and were prepared to believe that Trump’s bark might be worse than his bite on issues that matter to global allies. Trump’s bombastic nature undermines his ability to address the problems he cares most about. Take Mexico: It doesn’t want a trade war with America, and Pena Nieto has been working to resolve border-security and NAFTArenegotiation issues. But Trump’s humiliating tweet (prompted, presumably, by his fear of being challenged for willingness to compromise) backed Pena Nieto into a political corner. The outcome is contrary to both countries’ interests. Similarly, Trump’s public endorsement of torture undermines his deeper effort to combat terrorism. Because of public revulsion over waterboarding, and the CIA’s refusal to resume in-

terrogation activities without clear, sustainable legal authority, it’s now easier for the U.S. to kill terrorists with drones than to capture and interrogate them. The rise in such “targeted killing” may take terrorists off the battlefield, but it doesn’t yield intelligence. “The U.S. has abandoned any effort to capture, detain and interrogate terrorists,” argues Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a former CIA officer who now teaches at the Harvard Kennedy School. “Killing terrorists with drones does not produce information on terrorist plans and intentions. It makes eminent sense to emphasize recruitment and capture operations in addition to lethal drones and bombings. As the crude saying goes, ‘you can’t kill them all.’” John McLaughlin, a former acting CIA director, speaks for a consensus in the agency when he says “it would be a mistake to go back in that direction,” with case officers tasked with running secret interrogation sites. But the larger point is that “the issue is so politicized that you cannot have the sober policy discussion” that’s needed on how to collect better intelligence through interrogation. During his first week in office, Trump has been his own loudest cheerleader. He has also been his own worst enemy. As with any other form of self-destructive behavior, it’s time for an intervention by those closest to him. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers

Trade and mutual respect under assault There is much to cheer about President Trump’s first decisions as president. Conservatives are almost certainly going to love his Supreme Court pick, his stepped-up efforts to deport criminal aliens, the approval of two oil pipelines stubbornly blocked by the previous administration and more.

Mona Charen Trump remains a potential time bomb, however, both because of his genuine, antitrade beliefs and because of his unwholesome character. Leave aside the distractions about crowd sizes and voter fraud. There is an aspect to Trump’s egotism that is more than unseemly or clownish; it’s aggressive. He enjoys disparaging and demeaning others personally, often about things (like their appearance or their “time of the month”) that few over the age of 11 would stoop to. These two strands — Trump’s misguided view that trade is bad for America and his penchant for humiliating others — came together this week. The president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto, canceled a meeting with President Trump, signaling an escalation of tensions with our southern neighbor. This is entirely our fault. It’s one thing to stress getting control of our borders. Even those who believe that immigration is a net positive for the nation agree that illegal immigration must be better policed. But cracking down on illegal immigration should mean getting our own house in order. It should mean policing all of our borders, not just the one with Mexico, and it should mean due diligence about visa overstays. Visitors who

overstay their visas amount to at least half, and probably closer to 60 percent, of those entering the country illegally now. They arrive at airports, not across the Rio Grande. The great wave of illegal crossings from the south crested in 2007 and has declined steadily since. As immigration hawk Mark Krikorian noted in 2015, “Border crossings really are way down.” Well, some border crossings are way down, others not. More Mexicans cross the border heading south now than north. In other words, net migration from Mexico is negative. One of the blessings the U.S. has always enjoyed is having good neighbors. As Aaron David Miller put it, “The United States is the only great power in the history of the world that has had the luxury of having nonpredatory neighbors to its north and south, and fish to its east and west.” But that can change. Not content with proposing a totally unnecessary wall across our entire southern border (double fencing is much cheaper, easier to maintain and effective), President Trump felt the need to insult and humiliate Mexico. It began with the

accusation that the Mexican government was “sending” the illegals who crossed the border and somehow complicit in their traffic of crime and drugs. In fact, the Mexican government cooperates with the U.S. in fighting drug trafficking and other crimes. Just last week, Mexico extradited drug lord “El Chapo” to the U.S. for prosecution. Further demeaning our friends to the south, President Trump made forcing Mexico to pay for a wall part of his stump speech and has refused to drop the demand. Naturally, Mexicans are offended and outraged by this insult. “We’re not paying for your (expletive) wall,” fumed former Mexican president Vicente Fox. And they’re worried, and should be, that Trump has proposed to “renegotiate” the NAFTA trade agreement, which he describes as “the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country.” One reason that fewer Mexicans are attempting to enter the U.S. illegally since 2007 may well be that NAFTA has succeeded in improving the jobs picture there. (Another reason

is surely that the birthrate has declined, which always reduces emigration.) Fred Smith, founder and chairman of FedEx, estimates that NAFTA makes the U.S. $127 billion richer every year than it would be without it. So the two areas of maximum importance to stability and prosperity in our hemisphere, trade and mutual respect, are both under assault by our president. It is not written in stone that Mexico will remain a stable nation and friendly neighbor. Mexico is under stress due to falling oil prices, corruption and other woes. The peso has lost 10 percent of its value due to fears about NAFTA, and as Jose Cardenas notes in National Review, a left-wing, Hugo Chavez-like demagogue named Andre Manuel Lopez Obrador could stand to benefit from the current uncertainty and understandable resentment. Good fences may make good neighbors. But this wall, and particularly the way Trump has rubbed Mexicans’ noses in it, may turn a good neighbor bad fast. — Mona Charen is a columnist with Creators Syndicate.

But after child welfare officials pushed back, a provision was included that says any “affected individual” should be notified when a request for records is received. Within seven days, those individuals can ask the court to keep the records sealed. A judge then rules on the motion. Under the law, prosecutors, law enforcement officers and the department secretary all can ask the court to keep records closed, as can the parent who allegedly abused or

WASHINGTON New presidents typically start with a flurry of actions designed to demonstrate to supporters and opponents alike that they will deliver on their campaign promises, and that there is a new guy in charge. But never in modern times — a phrase Donald Trump has made familiar in his opening 10 days in the White House — has there been a whirlwind of action that NEWS ANALYSIS has so disrupted the political order. President Trump a has opened breach with Mexico over building a wall, created chaos at U.S. airports by blocking immigrants from Muslim countries, moved to undercut the Affordable Care Act even before Congress formally resumes debate over repealing it and more. In other words, after a campaign that upended political assumptions, Trump has grabbed the headlines and prompted protests in the streets and the courts by doing precisely what he said he would do if elected. “We’ve been in office now for about seven or eight days, and we’ve done an incredible amount,” White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation after deflecting questions on the orders to begin building a wall along the southern border and to temporarily block refugees from seven majority-Muslim countries. “I think that one thing people can say about President Trump is that he’s following through on his promises, and I don’t think people should be surprised that he’s doing it. I’m kind of surprised that people are surprised that he’s actually conducting himself exactly the way he said he would.” It has been a surprise to those who assumed candidate Trump had more of a combative attitude than a specific policy plan. That gave rise to the observation, first credited to Saleno Zito of The Atlantic, that Trump’s supporters took him seriously but not literally, while journalists took him literally

Protesters marched, chanted and waved signs across the nation Sunday as angry immigrant advocates pressed their demand for an end to President Trump’s executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. Rallies underway in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Los Angeles and other cities Sunday drew thousands, part of a groundswell of fury that erupted at airports across the nation Saturday and showed no signs of abating. “There is such an energy and anger that I have to do something about it,” said Jan Rudzinski, of Arden, Del., as she joined a rally in Philadelphia where signs said “Welcome Muslims” and “Let them in.” In Washington, thousands gathered and marched outside the White House. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio joined a rally “for our city’s values” at Battery Park, where Sen.

A robotic barista is now serving — really, really fast Cafe X can churn out 120 drinks an hour Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

Something futuristic is brewing in a shopping complex here. The first robotic barista in the U.S., named “Gordon,” started serving up to 120 coffee drinks an hour today — ironically, just several thousand feet away from a Starbucks in the same complex. SAN FRANCISCO

“A lot of us spend a lot of time in line waiting for coffee,” says Henry Hu, CEO of Cafe X Technologies, the local start-up that created the robot. “And we decided to do something about it.” For about a year, the firm built a toll booth-sized Cafe X with a sleek industrial design. The automated cafe offers seven drinks like espresso and cafe latte for $2.25 to $2.95 per 8 oz. cup. An app allows for mobile orders. (A quick sample of drinks, each flavored with hazelnut, caramel or vanilla, can attest to quality. The robotic arm moved a cup between several stations — from beans freshly ground to the pouring of

coffee). Three nearby order stands offer basic options — drink, flavor and intensity of flavor. After customers enter a mobile number to get a four-digit code and pay, they are texted when the drink is ready. The process typically takes a few minutes. The robot has been programmed to toss a drink and make another, if necessary. The Cafe X is part of a growing fleet of robots designed to serve the public in service industries such as food delivery, retail, call centers and education.

tion as more damaging to U.S. factory jobs than trade pacts, and some have warned about the steep losses to jobs from robotics. But there’s still a lot of hope, at least among technologists, that the coming wave of robots will bring about more jobs. “We’re an inflection point where technology will get smarter and smarter, and adapt to people — for years, it was just the opposite,” says Paul Daugherty, chief technology & innovation officer at Accenture.

Trayvon Martin’s parents consider running for office Both want to ‘be part of the change’ 5 years after their son’s death

MIAMI GARDENS , FLA .

Trayvon Martin’s parents aren’t convinced much progress has been made on racial justice since the Florida teenager was killed five years ago in a shooting that helped fuel the Black Lives Matter movement, but they say that at least his death reignited a national conversation about it. Now they fear President Trump will reverse whatever has been accomplished. Both are considering running for political office to “be part of the change” they say the nation needs. “Since Trayvon’s death, we saw how divided the country is on these issues and we saw how the country can come together,” Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, told Capital Download. “You have those that are for uniting the country and you have those that want to be apart. And what this new presidency does, it takes those that want to be apart and it puts them right in the position where they can say, ‘We’ll change the laws, and we’ll make it tougher.’ ” He worries that the new administration will make it easier for law enforcement officials and citizens to justify violence against minorities on the grounds they felt their safety was imperiled. At his trial for shooting Trayvon, George Zimmerman argued he felt threatened by the 17-year-old, whom he had followed in his car and then on foot. In their new book, Rest in Power, being published Tuesday by Siegel & Grau, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin testify in alternating chapters how an explosive national controversy unfolded in their lives, from the shooting in 2012 to the protests in the street, to the trial of his killer. The 331page book ends with Zimmerman’s acquittal in 2013 on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter. Now, in an interview with USA TODAY’s video newsmaker series, Fulton and Martin say they are considering running for office, an idea they would have found laughable five years ago — Corrections & Clarifications

Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton on the Forzano Park football field where their son Trayvon Martin once played. Both are seriously considering becoming more politically involved. “before our life got interrupted,” as she put it. “Before I was just comfortable with my average life, but now I feel like I’m just obligated to be part of the change,” Fulton said. “The only way we can be part of the change is if we start with local government and we work our way up.” How far up? “It could go all the way to the White House,” she declared, though it would begin with a bid for, say, city or county commission. “There’s no limitations,” Martin agreed. “I think once you embark on a journey, you don’t minimize your goal; you want to maximize your goals. So you start

“The Trump administration will end it.” “I think from the statements being made, we won’t progress; we’ll be going backwards,” Martin said. Fulton, who campaigned for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton last year, said Trump’s rhetoric against immigrants in general and Muslims in particular “fed into that division, they fed into that hatred.” Now, she said the African-American parents she talks to are increasingly concerned about their children’s safety. “Average citizens feel like their kids are not going to make it home safely, because we’ve had so many incidents where somebody

They are distressed by the new president’s attitude, a sharp change from his predecessor. At one point, then-president Obama said, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon,” urging Americans to give serious consideration to the issues behind his shooting. When Zimmerman was acquitted, a somber Obama said, “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” In contrast, on the day Trump was inaugurated this month, his administration posted a position paper on law enforcement policy on the White House website, vowing change. “The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong,” the statement said.

is shot and killed and nobody is being held accountable,” she said. “You have to bury a loved one, and on top of you burying a loved one, nobody is going to trial.” She can hardly believe that five years have passed since she got the shattering call that her son had been shot and killed when he ran out to a corner store to pick up a soft drink and some Skittles. The fatal shooting of the unarmed youth fueled a national debate over violence against unarmed minorities and transformed the lives of his parents. His parents say their son has become “a symbol, a beacon and a mirror” in the nation’s debate over race and justice. “It feels like it happened a few months ago,” Fulton said. “The pain is still raw. The pain is still fresh. And I know I’m not going to ever get healed back to my original state, because he’s not coming back.” They are sitting in the modest

offices of the Trayvon Martin Foundation, a non-profit they founded to battle gun violence and help families and young people. On the wall just behind them, on the third floor of the Florida Memorial University library here, there is a 5-foot-tall blow-up of what has become an iconic photo of their son in one of the hoodies he wore almost everywhere. SLEEPING IN HIS UNIFORM

Fulton and Martin survey the familiar landscape at Forzano Park in Miramar, Fla., where Trayvon had played football and his father still coaches. They are tall, sturdy, straightforward. They had gotten divorced when Trayvon was 4 years old but seem to have an easy friendship to this day. Martin works as a truck driver. Fulton had been a program manager for the Miami-Dade Housing Authority, though she left the job the day her son was killed and never returned. Both are wearing “I am Trayvon Martin” buttons. “I remember when he first started playing,” Martin said. “He would sleep in his uniform. He’d put on his pants and his socks and he’d sleep in it. He’d wake up in the morning, ready to go.” Now Trayvon’s blue and gold jersey is framed and hangs in the clubhouse. His number, 9, has been retired by the Wolverines, and the name scrawled on the cubby he used hasn’t been repainted. “Lil Tray,” it reads. If he had lived, Trayvon would be turning 22 next Sunday. “A lot of times in the national spotlight, they celebrate his death,” Fulton said. (The fifth anniversary is Feb. 26.) “But we don’t see any importance in celebrating his death, and so we celebrate his birth. ... “Every year, I always say that I’m not going to cry when they sing Happy Birthday, and lo and behold, as a mother, you know, I cry every year. I tear up every year.”

but not seriously. What also has surprised many is the speed with which Trump has moved, in some cases reportedly without the traditional consultation with members of his Cabinet, leaders of Congress or even the government lawyers who customarily would review the language and legal basis for the executive orders and presidential memorandums he has signed with fanfare. Of course, presidents who have taken over at times of crisis have acted in the past with far-reaching actions and left it to the future for the courts and the critics to sort out. Franklin Roosevelt, taking over during the depths of the Great Depression, on the day after being inaugurated in 1933 declared a bank holiday and called Congress into special session. When he took office in 1861, Abraham Lincoln was dealing with a nation being split by Southern secession. This time, though, Trump isn’t taking over at a time of war or economic calamity. He has in effect created his own sense of crisis, a situation he seems to find useful when it comes to dominating the debate and conducting negotiations. And while FDR coined the idea of the “first 100 days” as a measure for action, Trump seems to be speeding up even that timetable — akin to his mode of unprecedented and instantaneous presidential communication via the burst of 140-character tweets. But for the new president, there may be surprises ahead as well. There are differences between declaring a policy as a candidate and imposing it as president, where the details matter and institutional checks and balances apply. Trump’s immigration order, signed late Friday, was blocked over the weekend by federal judges in at least four states. Congress could act to limit or reverse a president’s actions, although in general the Republicans in control of the House and Senate have signaled support or acquiescence with Trump so far. Public opinion also can be a spur or a check, since a president’s standing with voters affects his clout with pols. At his inauguration, Trump had the worst rating of any president since Gallup began routinely measuring it during Harry Truman’s tenure. (The 45th president, coincidentally, had an initial rating of 45% approve-45% disapprove.) But there are no signs that Trump is having second thoughts or plans to slow down. On Friday night, the White House sent out a pat-on-the-back rundown titled “President Trump’s First Week of Action,” including 15 steps it said moved toward fulfilling specific campaign promises. The second week is poised to be just as dramatic. That Supreme Court announcement? It’s coming.

halts admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely and bars entry for three months to residents from the predominantly Muslim countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Protesters began swarming major airports Saturday. In Chicago, thousands of demonstrators gathered at O’Hare International Airport. In New York, more than 2,000 at John F. Kennedy Airport chanted “Let them in!” At Los Angeles International Airport, 200 protesters, shouted, “No Trump, No KKK, No fascist USA.” Federal Judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn granted an emergency stay Saturday at the behest of immigration rights lawyers. The judge’s ruling applies to those who have already arrived in the U.S. and those who are in transit who hold valid visas. Judges in Massachusetts and Virginia also ordered halts. The Department of Homeland Security shrugged off court rulings on Sunday, saying they will have little impact on “overall implementation” of Trump’s order. “President Trump’s Executive

Hundreds of people demonstrate Sunday against President Trump’s executive order at Los Angeles International Airport. Orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety,” DHS said in a statement. It added, “No foreign national in a foreign land, without ties to the United States, has any unfettered right to demand entry into the United States.” The statement noted that “less

than one percent of the more than 325,000 international air travelers who arrive every day were inconvenienced” while measures were implemented. Trump himself reaffirmed his decision Sunday on Twitter: “Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!”

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, RTenn., lauded Trump’s order as “responsible,” telling USA TODAY that U.S. intelligence agencies need time to “ascertain the scope of the Islamic terror threat in order to develop proper refugee vetting protocols — if possible.” Other Republicans, however, were less enthused. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tweeted the executive order “sends signal, intended or not, that US doesn’t want Muslims here ...” And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told ABC’s This Week that the courts will decide “whether or not this has gone too far. I don’t want to criticize them for improving vetting. I think we need to be careful. We don’t have religious tests in this country.” “The last 48 hours have really been full of chaos,” said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, one of the groups that sued the federal government.

Uber’s actions during President Trump’s immigration ban Saturday stirred an impromptu wave of people deleting the ride-hailing app from their phones, while the company’s chief rival made a donation to fight the blockade. Uber angered some users by temporarily canceling surge pricing for rides from New York’s JFK Airport, which taxi drivers were briefly boycotting to voice their opposition to Trump’s “inhumane and unconstitutional” action. “Surge pricing has been turned off at #JFK Airport. This may result in longer wait times. Please be patient,” Uber’s New York City operation said Saturday night on Twitter.

Uber, led by Travis Kalanick, upset users at a boycott Saturday at JFK Airport.

Angry users viewed the move as a bid to undercut taxi drivers who voluntarily relinquished lucrative fares to join the protest against the temporary detention of foreigners who were denied entry to the U.S. after arriving on planes. An Uber spokeswoman said she did not know how many people had deleted Uber from their phones. “We’re sorry for any confusion about our earlier tweet—it was not meant to break up any strike. We wanted people to know they could use Uber to get to and from JFK at normal prices, especially last night,” the company said Sunday in a statement. Hours after the controversy popped, fierce rival Lyft announced it would donate $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union, which is battling Trump’s ban on travelers from certain primarily-Muslim countries. “Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft’s and our nation’s core values,” cofounders John Zimmer and Logan Green said in a blog post.

President Trump’s proposal to levy a 20% tax on imports from Mexico isn’t the only plan that could pinch your pocketbook. A GOP proposal to scrap a tax deduction on imported goods could lead to price increases of as much as 15% on products ranging from jeans to Jeeps, according to projections by a major retail trade association. The border adjustment tax, outlined in a plan co-written by House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis., would require U.S. retailers who now pay taxes only on the profit made from the sale of an imported product to also pay taxes on what it cost to purchase it from abroad. That would likely lead to clothing and shoe prices jumping roughly 15%, and electronics could cost about 11% more, according to forecasts from the National Retail Federation. Stores say those price increases could be the difference between making money or winding up in the red. “If you’re a retailer and you’re in the specialty-apparel business ... virtually all of the products that you sell are imported,” says David French, the NRF’s senior vice president for government relations, noting

Car

that retail profit margins seldom top 3%. “You’re looking at price increases across the entirety of your product lines at roughly 15%, or you’ll suffer short-term losses.” There would be variations from retailer to retailer, based on a variety of factors including their cost structure and the source of goods. And some economists believe that a stronger dollar would minimize price increases. But based on projections by some retail, gas and auto experts, price hikes would be noticeable. A pair of $79 jeans would cost $93. A gallon of regular unleaded gas, which had an average price Thursday of $2.29, would cost $2.59 to $2.67. And a new vehicle, which reached the record average price of $35,309 in December, would see its sticker price rise to $37,609. Currently, a store chain that buys a pair of jeans from Taiwan

for $10 and sells it in the U.S. for $30 pays taxes on just the $20 profit. But under the GOP House proposal, the retailer would have to pay taxes on the full $30. The congressional proposal also recommends lowering the corporate tax rate to 20% from 35%. But French says that would do little to offset the losses that stem from the canceled import tax deduction. “You can’t stay in business if you’re paying $2.40 on a $2 profit,” he says. For American consumers, roughly 30% of products like refrigerators and washing machines that consumers don’t frequently buy come from abroad, says Chris Christopher Jr., director for U.S. Macro and Global Economics for IHS Markit. The new import tax might boost revenue, “but in the end, the border tax adjustment is ... not very pro-consumer,” he says. “It’s a tricky thing. ... When you

look into details, it’s not good for low-income and middle-income Americans, and that’s where a lot of the support came for Donald Trump.” But the Tax Foundation, an independent think tank that supports lower taxes, says the proposed tax change will lift the value of the U.S. dollar, allowing prices to stay where they are. “Both supporters and opponents are missing the fact that taxes and subsidies have a direct impact on the supply and demand of goods, which in turn impact their market prices,” Kyle Pomerleau, director of the Tax Foundation’s federal projects, wrote in a blog item. “Specifically, the border adjustment will have an impact on both the supply and demand of U.S. dollars, resulting in an increase in its value.” Thomas Cooley, an economics professor at NYU and former dean of the university’s Stern School, agrees that a stronger dollar could cushion the fallout for retailers and other importers. Still, if the proposal takes effect, “there will be winners and losers,” he says, with companies that have U.S.-based factories faring far better than their counterparts who don’t and depend on imports.

Ford plans its own Super Bowl kickoff 90-second ad is engine for ‘mobility’ initiative

Ford’s bet on reinventing its image among American consumers is ramping up with a major ad airing immediately before Super Bowl LI and a new hotspot for tourists and locals in New York. The Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker will air a 90-second commercial immediately before kickoff Sunday on Fox, Ford U.S. marketing director Chantel Lenard told USA TODAY. The ad is paired with the opening of a 2,900-square-foot experiential exhibit at the Westfield World Trade Center. Lenard says both initiatives are designed to highlight the

company’s bid to remake itself as a provider of “transportation solutions” instead of just a vehicle manufacturer. The auto industry is bracing for sweeping change as self-driving cars paired with ride-hailing apps may eventually present an alternative to car ownership and public transportation. Ford is “trying to stay ahead of what they see on the horizon,” AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan

said in an email. Ford CEO Mark Fields told USA TODAY earlier this month that the company wants to begin helping cities redesign their mass-transit networks possibly for self-driving vehicles. He sees the “mobility” segment as a significant source of future profit. “Mobility” is a frequent word you’ll hear from Ford executives these days. Talk is cheap, but Super Bowl

ads aren’t. And the company’s decision to invest in a 90-second commercial between the coin toss and kickoff could cost close to $15 million, based on reported rates of $5 million per 30 seconds for official game ads on Fox. Lenard declined to reveal the price Ford paid. It’s the first Super Bowl ad for Ford since 2014, and Ford will pair it with stories about its ride-sharing, bike-sharing and autonomous-vehicle efforts at FordGoFurther.com. The ad features humorous footage of people getting stuck in life circumstances. The company hopes the ad encourages people to visit its new FordHub in New York City. Visitors will get the chance to build a Mustang muscle car in a three-dimensional setting, view local transportation alerts on a massive video wall, engage in a virtual race featuring regenerative braking and learn about the automaker’s autonomous vehicles.

Oscar nominee Asghar Farhadi, who wrote and directed ‘The Salesman,’ Iran’s entry for bestforeign-language film, announced Sunday he would not attend the Academy Awards next month even if he were granted an exception to President Trump’s visa ban for citizens from Iran. In a statement, Farhadi said he had hoped to attend the awards and express his opinions in the press surrounding the event. “However, it now seems that the possibility of this presence is being accompanied by ifs and buts, which are in no way acceptable to me ...” He went on to condemn the “unjust conditions forced upon some of my compatriots and the citizens of the other six countries,” and expressed “hope that the current situation will not give rise to further divide between nations.” THEY SAID WHAT?

A GHOST STORY

Writer/director David Lowery reunites with Ain’t Them Bodies Saints stars Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara for this audacious, offbeat drama, which already has become a minor social-media phenomenon because of Affleck’s spectral bedsheet get-up and a sequence in which Mara scarfs down (almost) an entire pie. The low-budget film — already picked up by A24 — “is probably going to be a major critical hit,” Vulture senior editor Kyle Buchanan says. “It’s probably a little too arty for mainstream audiences, but I expect it to be on a lot of end-of-year critics’ polls.”

Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer star in a powerful love story.

Purchased by Sony Pictures Classics ahead of the festival, Luca Guadagnino’s sensual gay love story is one of the bestreviewed films out of Park City. Like Carol and Moonlight, “this is another movie that is every bit as powerful and necessary in its depiction of same-sex love,” Buchanan says. “It’s the best role that Armie Hammer has had in a long time and has a major find in lead actor Timothée Chalamet. It’s a wonderfully moving, emotional movie that has this resonance that stays with you.”

Rooney Mara’s A Ghost Story already is receiving notice on social media.

Dee Rees’ racially charged epic, set in rural Mississippi postWorld War II, already is garnering serious Oscar talk after earning multiple standing ovations at its Sundance premiere. Although the star-studded drama with Carey Mulligan and Straight Outta Compton’s Jason Mitchell has yet to land a distributor, expect a deal soon. There’s talk that “the thing holding up the deal is working out what sort of awards campaign the interested distributors would mount,” Buchanan says. “The team behind that film is very interested in making (Rees) the first black female director to get a best director nomination.”

THE BIG SICK

The Judd Apatow-produced romantic comedy — about a comedian (Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani) who tries to win back his ex-girlfriend (Zoe Kazan) after she falls inexplicably ill — was nabbed by Amazon for $12 million, the biggest buy of this year’s fest to date. “Because it’s told by Kumail Nanjiani, who is not the sort of person who gets to star in and write these movies, it has a specificity to it that makes it funnier and more interesting, (with) all of these twists and underpinnings that revitalize that genre,” Buchanan says. “It’s really moving in a lot of surprising ways and could be a major, unexpected hit.”

A working-class New Jersey teen (newcomer Danielle Macdonald) chases her dream of rap stardom in this vibrant coming-of-age tale, which Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired for $9.5 million. “Patti Cake$ is one of those movies where the formula is tried-andtrue, but it’s brought off with so much enthusiasm by its actors and has the whole musical element that people are just sent out of it on a high,” Buchanan says. Now “it’s up to Fox Searchlight to get people in the door for it, because once they do, it’s going to find an audience. It’s the definition of a crowd-pleaser.”

A Dog’s Purpose has underperformed slightly at the box office as it opened in theaters amid controversy over animal treatment on set and calls for a boycott. Based on early projections, the family film was expected to open upward of $20 million, but studio estimates Sunday indicated it took in $18.4 million for a second-place start. Still, it’s a healthy debut for a movie that cost only $22 million to produce.

M. Night Shyamalan’s multiple-personality thriller Split, starring James McAvoy, holds on to its first-place finish. ing that word of mouth should be positive going forward. “It’s a great start for what I think is going to be a long-term playout on the title,” says Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. First place went again to M. Night Shyamalan’s multiplepersonality thriller Split, which grossed $26.3 million, a relatively

minuscule 34% drop from its first weekend, nearly unheard of for a horror movie. Rounding out the top five: Hidden Figures with $14 million, new opener Resident Evil: The Final Chapter with $13.9 million, and La La Land with $12.1 million. Damien Chazelle’s candy-colored musical crossed the $100 million mark domestically after earning

14 Oscar nominations last week. But many eyes were on A Dog’s Purpose this weekend. A week and a half before the movie opened, TMZ posted video of a frightened dog that apparently was forced into rushing water during filming. The footage quickly went viral. PETA called for a boycott of the film, while the studio and filmmakers canceled media interviews and the premiere but proceeded with releasing the film as planned. Carpou acknowledges that the video, which he and the filmmakers have said is “highly edited,” surfaced at “a very inopportune moment in the buildup to the release of our movie” and they knew it would have some effect. Industry observers such as Paul Dergarabedian, comScore senior media analyst, note that the video and the resulting media attention heightened awareness about the movie. Even without the controversy, he says, the weekend likely would have played out in the same way, with A Dog’s Purpose in second place. “It had an impact, we just don’t know what the impact is,” he says.

We have been fortunate and been able to provide a nice life for all three of them. We have had issues with the youngest for the past 10 years, mostly centered on drugs. We had him see several counselors, but he would snow all of them to the point that they would feel sorry for him. (One time when he went to a concert, one of his counselors was smoking a joint right next to him.) It got so bad we sent him to military school in his junior year of high school (which all of us, including him, agree saved his life). Though he is much better than he was, he still continues to use pot daily.

He and I vehemently disagree over the harmfulness/value of pot, its addictiveness (I know what everyone says, but I don’t know how you can say you are not addicted to something you use every day), its long-term effects and his reasons for using it. He says pot helps him unwind and handle stress. I’m not sure he really knows what stress is. When he comes home on school breaks, he knows better than to smoke in the house, but

New take on Christie streaming Fans of detective novels, period pieces and British television are in luck. The Acorn streaming service presents a new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Witness for the Prosecution.” Set in 1920s London, this feature-length ‘‘Witness’’ stars Toby Jones (‘‘Detectorists’’) as the mildmannered lawyer John Mayhew, charged with defending Leonard Vole (Billy Howle), a wounded World War I veteran accused of murdering heiress Emily French (Kim Cattrall), who had paid him to become her escort and lover. The fact that she had changed her will to leave everything to Vole looks suspicious. And the testimony of French’s maid Janet McIntyre (Monica Dolan) appears to put him on the way to the gallows. Good thing for Vole, he has his longtime lover and mysterious chorus girl, Romaine (Andrea Riseborough), as his alibi. Or does he? A classic court drama with a patented Christie twist, ‘‘Witness’’ may be best remembered for inspiring the 1957 film starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton, directed by Billy Wilder. This beautiful production puts the emphasis on the war-weariness of its characters. Vole is hobbled by his wounds, and Romaine is driven by the most mercenary motives after years of living in exile under bombardment and invasion. Mayhew is racked by a cough from a gas attack. He and his wife break down easily and often into tears at the thought of their lost soldier son. The tragic atmosphere weighs heavily on the proceedings and may prove too sad for some viewers. Also now streaming on Acorn is “Alfresco,” a rather silly British comedy from 1983 to ’84, notable for its young cast that included Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and Robbie Coltrane. Acorn is a subscription-based streaming service created for fans of U.K. and international television series. The Hollywood Reporter recently described it as ‘‘the best platform you’ve never heard of.’’ But careful readers of this column have been made aware of Acorn for years.

in the field of addiction. The letter from ‘‘Concerned Parents’’ states their son was addicted to pain meds after surgery. The parents write that they are letting the son’s addiction ruin their social life because they do not serve alcohol to guests in the home to protect him from temptation. That is naive and unrealistic. After all, there are bars on every block. The parents need education and should attend Al-Anon meetings to understand that recovery from alcohol abuse requires not changes in others’ lives but changes in the addict’s life. It is the son’s responsibility to control his own, life choices and sobriety. Alcoholics Anonymous can offer help for him. — One Who Knows Better — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

KU adds versatile prep lineman By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas defense exploited Kentucky’s rawness Kansas basketball coach Bill Self’s decision to change defenses did more than help Landen Lucas deal with foul trouble, slow down speedy Kentucky and make Bam Adebayo work in a crowded place. It gave the talented, young Kentucky guards something to process, and sometimes the harder the mind has to work, the slower the body moves. “It worked great,” Kansas front-court reserve Dwight Coleby said of the 2-3 zone and triangle-and-two defenses the Jayhawks employed at times in Saturday night’s 79-73 victory. “We won the game because of it.” Self said nobody will be studying tapes of the game as models of how to play zone. So what? The strategy worked because it made the Wildcats hesitate. “They didn’t know what to do with it and it worked out,” Coleby said. “They were kind of confused on what to do and they kept looking at their coach for what to run. We kept changing it up and it confused them.” Experienced guards know how to dismantle zone defenses, which will benefit Kansas because of the savvy of its Towson/ Appalachian State backcourt tandem, one that knows how to use freshman Josh Jackson’s ability to pick holes in zones with passes from the high post. Kentucky’s lottery picks in waiting, De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk, can blow by man-to-man defenses all the way to the NBA and might not ever grow as comfortable against zones in their short time in college. It takes time to learn the nuances of attacking zones and even with a skilled teacher, one year might not be long enough. Nobody does a better job of recruiting one-and-done talents and getting them to play unselfishly quickly than Kentucky coach John Calipari. But because he does so well at acquiring top talent, he can’t rely on as many veterans to model and mentor newcomers and it becomes more difficult for them to unpack their bags and plant both feet in college basketball, blocking out the impending NBA career. There is a downside to winning so many recruiting battles for the best of the best. “Look, this is always a process here when you’re talking young players,” Calipari said. “I can remember in 2014, we were dying and then they got it at one point and all of a sudden we took off. This team came together a little bit faster, yet you find out all the execution stuff that I’ve been talking about will come back and haunt you, all those little things.” It’s nothing Calipari doesn’t go through every year. “It’s all doable,” he said.

On the final weekend leading up to Wednesday’s National Signing Day, the Kansas football program secured a commitment from a versatile South Carolina prospect. Whether 6-foot-6 Earl Bostick plays on the offensive or defensive line for the Jayhawks remains to be determined, but the Barnwell High senior let KU coaches know Sunday morning during his recruiting visit his

football future is in Lawrence. A two-star recruit according to Rivals who had committed previously to Appalachian State, Bostick told Jon Kirby, of Jayhawk Slant, KU’s coaches couldn’t believe so few programs had gone after him. Georgia Tech and Mississippi State reportedly had shown interest previously, but neither made an offer to the two-way standout from the Palmetto State. At 260 pounds, Bostick could play either offensive or defensive tackle at Kansas after

performing well as a tight end and defensive end in high school. “I have played both ways since middle school,” Bostick told Jayhawk Slant. “I like playing on both sides. Sometimes I lean a little more to the defensive side, but it doesn’t matter. If they need me to play offensive tackle or defensive tackle, I’m ready to play.” Just a week ago, Bostick, who also plays basketball at Barnwell, had a strong outing at the Border Bowl, showcasing top prep

talents from South Carolina and Georgia. The new KU commit made seven tackles, three tackles for loss and three quarterback hurries at defensive end. Kansas offensive line coach Zach Yenser, who led Bostick’s recruitment, took to Twitter Sunday morning to share his excitement about the prospect. “I’ll play wherever just give me a chance!” Yenser wrote, sharing Bostick’s sentiments, while adding the lineman has length, great feet and high character.

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON COMES IN FOR A BREAKAWAY DUNK during the Jayhawks’ 79-73 victory over Kentucky on Saturday at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky.

Jackson top freshman in showdown By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Facing a couple of familiar friends from his AAU days, Kansas freshman Josh Jackson dropped 20 and 10 at Rupp Arena on Saturday night and helped lead No. 2 Kansas to a 79-73 victory over fourth-ranked Kentucky and fabulous freshmen Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo. Asked after the victory how it felt to go head-to-head

“

I knew neither side was gonna give up no matter how much the other team went up. It was gonna be a fight to the end.” — KU freshman Josh Jackson, on the Jayhawks’ victory over Kentucky against guards Fox and Monk on a stage far bigger than any the trio ever experienced during their prep days, the stillsmiling but ever-composed Jackson talked more about the experience and less about his team’s good fortune.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Jackson said. “Both those guys are great athletes, great players. The thing I really like about them is they’re both competitors. They really want to win and I knew it was gonna be a fun game coming out. I knew

neither side was gonna give up no matter how much the other team went up. It was gonna be a fight to the end.” On a night when big-time players made big-time plays for both sides, Jackson was arguably the most consistent performer. He tallied 10 points in each half, scored early and scored late, and lifted the Jayhawks both with his outside jumper and scrappy play around the basket.

Skakeup likely in college basketball poll The Associated Press

The week in college basketball started with three of the top four teams in The AP Top 25 losing by Wednesday. The hits to ranked teams kept coming, leading to what’s sure to be a major upheaval in today’s poll. Through all the chaos, one team stayed steady: No. 3 Gonzaga. > KEEGAN, 3C After rolling through a pair

of blowouts this week, the Bulldogs remain the only undefeated team in Division I and are poised to move to No. 1 for the second time in program history. “I feel like we’re doing our jobs right now, playing really well as a team,” Gonzaga forward Zach Collins said. “If that means we’re No. 1, then we’re No. 1. That’s not what we’re worried about right now.” Gonzaga (22-0, 10-0 WCC)

has a strong resume with wins over Florida, Arizona and Saint Mary’s. The Bulldogs cruised through their two games this week, beating Portland 83-64 and Pepperdine 96-49. No. 1 Villanova , No. 2 Kansas and No. 4 Kentucky all lost, so it may be hard for voters not to move Gonzaga to the top of today’s poll for the first time since 2013. “We’ve done it before,”

Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “You have to understand the only poll we want to be No. 1 at is the one at the end of the year. These things just kind of track who’s winning and who’s losing. I will say as we get deeper into the season, the polls get more accurate because everybody begins to get a feel for everyone’s schedule.” Gonzaga plays at BYU and hosts Santa Clara this week.

Colts hire KC’s Ballard as general manager By Michael Marot AP Sports Writer

Indianapolis (ap) — Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is turning to another first-time general manager to get his franchise back on track. Eight days after firing Ryan Grigson and conducting a week of interviews, Irsay hired former Kansas City Chiefs executive Chris Ballard. The announcement came Sunday on the team’s website. “Chris has a solid reputation Ballard throughout the National Football League as a heavyweight executive and our extensive discussions with him confirmed that reputation,” Irsay said in a statement released by the team. “He’s a savvy, organized, and thorough talent evaluator, but beyond that, he’s a terrific person our community will be proud of.” Ballard has never previously served as a team’s top decision-maker, but he comes with a long history as a scout and front-office experience. He was hired by the Chiefs in 2013 as the director of player personnel and was later promoted to director of football operations under current GM John Dorsey. Last season, the Chiefs earned the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and they’ve been a consistent playoff contender despite not having a Pro Bowl quarterback. Like Grigson, Ballard worked with coach Andy Reid. And like Grigson, the move comes after most teams had already announced offseason coaching and front office changes. “I am so thankful to Mr. Irsay and his entire family for this opportunity to join the Colts organization,” Ballard said. “I appreciate everyone who has been involved in the search process. I look forward to working with (coach) Chuck (Pagano) and his staff, the personnel staff, and all the outstanding Colts employees. Irsay has already said he expects Pagano back on the sideline next season. Ballard was chosen from a pool of six candidates, each of whom interviewed with Irsay during the week. Ballard reportedly was brought in for a second interview this weekend. The former University of Wisconsin football player began his front office career as an area scout with the Chicago Bears. In 2012, he became the Bears’ director of pro scouting. Kansas City hired him the next season, and he became a prime candidate around the league. Ballard also was an assistant coach at Texas A&MKingsville from 1994-2000. He finished his college career as a student assistant for the Badgers after multiple knee injuries ended his playing career. He now takes over a team that has missed the playoffs each of the past two seasons after going 8-8. But he also now build a young, improving offense that includes one of the league’s best young quarterbacks in Andrew Luck, a Pro Bowl receiver in T.Y. Hilton and a young offensive line that played its best football over the last month of the season. What he still needs to do is come up with playmakers on a defense that could be in for a major offseason overhaul. Robert Mathis, Indy’s career sacks leader, is retiring, and last season’s sacks leader, Erik Walden, could become an unrestricted free agent. The team has not yet scheduled a formal introduction. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and a ton of experience to the organization,” Pagano said. “I’m looking forward to rolling up our sleeves and going to work alongside him.”

TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

DiVincenzo beats buzzer as Villanova tops Virginia The Associated Press

No. 1 Villanova 61, No. 12 Virginia 59 Philadelphia — Donte DiVincenzo beat the buzzer on a tip-in to lead No. 1 Villanova over No. 12 Virginia on Sunday. The Wildcats (20-2) played their worst half of the season before they found their 3-point groove that fueled a secondhalf rally. They had the ball with 11.5 seconds left and the game tied. Josh Hart drove the lane and missed his layup. DiVincenzo zipped down the baseline and tipped the ball in with his outstretched right hand just as the horn sounded. After a brief review, the basket stood and the Wildcats mobbed each other at center court. Virginia coach Tony Bennett watched stone faced, arms folded and in stunned disbelief. Villanova was coming off a loss at Marquette and avoided its first-two game losing streak in four years. Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 15 points for the Wildcats. Ty Jerome led Virginia (16-4) with 15 points in an ACC-Big East matchup that had a March Madness feel from the opening tip.

No. 24 Xavier 82, St. John’s 77 New York — Trevon Bluiett had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Xavier held off a big rally from St. John’s at Madison Square Garden. Edmond Sumer had 17 points and seven assists for the Musketeers (15-6, 5-3 Big East), but he was helped off the court by teammates with six minutes to play. He made a basket and was hit as he scored, but he had an apparent injury to his left leg. He was unable to take the free throw. Xavier led 59-44 with 9:50 to play after a 3-pointer by Bluiett, who was coming off a careerhigh 40 points against Cincinnati. But the Red Storm (10-13, 4-6) just kept chipping away at the lead, and an 8-0 run got them within 68-66 with 4:16 left on a free throw by Marcus LoVett.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Federer takes 18th Grand Slam title Melbourne, Australia (ap) — So here was Roger Federer, down a break in the fifth set in a Grand Slam final. Across the net was his nemesis, Rafael Nadal, the left-handed Spaniard he hadn’t been able to beat in a major final in almost a decade. The 35-year-old father of four was back in his first tour-level tournament after six months off letting his injured left knee recover, and he hadn’t won any of the big four events in tennis since Wimbledon 2012. Nadal was returning from injury, too, and somehow the pair had renewed the Roger-Rafa rivalry in a throwback Australian Open final that transcended sport. At that moment, an 18th Grand Slam title didn’t feature in Federer’s thinking. Don’t play the player, he reminded himself, just play the ball. Attack the serve. With that, Federer recovered the break, and seized momentum in a roll of winning 10 consecutive points that helped propel him to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win late Sunday night. His fifth Australian title extended his buffer to four atop the list of all-time Grand

ROGER FEDERER REACHES TO PLAY A FOREHAND during the men’s singles final. Federer defeated Rafael Nadal, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, in the final Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. Slam champions. Nadal remained tied with Pete Sampras in second place with 14. “For me it’s all about the comeback, about an epic match with Rafa again,” Federer said, “... that I can still do it at my age after not having won a slam for almost five years.

“That’s what I see. The last problem is the slam count — honestly, it doesn’t matter.” Federer had lost six of the previous eight Grand Slam finals he’d played against Nadal and was 11-23 in their career meetings. His last win over Nadal in a major final was at Wimbledon in 2007.

“It remains for me the ultimate challenge to play against him,” Federer said. “It’s super sweet, because I haven’t beaten him a Grand Slam final for a long time now. “This one means a lot to me because he’s caused me problems over the years.” With big wins come

Rahm wins at Torrey Pines; seniors choose college Woodland 7 strokes back LHS destinations

BRIEFLY

San Diego (ap) — Jon Rahm of Spain added his name to the burgeoning list of young stars Sunday with his big game and a big finish at Torrey Pines. Rahm made two eagles over the final six holes, the last one a 60-foot putt from the back fringe on the par-5 18th hole for a 5-under 67 to win the Farmers Insurance Open by three shots for his first PGA Tour victory. Rahm, who turned 22 in November, beat Phil Mickelson’s mark as the youngest champion at this tournament. He also became the first player in 26 years to capture his first PGA Tour title at Torrey Pines. Former Kansas golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 71 and finished at 6-under 282, tied for 20th and seven strokes behind the winner. Starting the final round three shots out of the lead, Rahm made up ground in a hurry. He hit 4-iron into 18 feet on the par-5 13th and holed the eagle putt to tie for the lead. He stuffed a wedge into 5 feet on the 17th to take the lead, and he finished with his long eagle putt that broke hard to the right and peeled back to the left and dropped in on the side of the cup.

He watched a replay of the last eagle putt, along with his celebration, and said, “I don’t even remember doing it.” On a day in which nine players had at least a share of the lead, the final 20 minutes only mattered for positions. Rahm finished at 13-under 275, three shots ahead of Charles Howell III (68) and C.T. Pan of Taiwan, who had a 70. Brandt Snedeker and Patrick Rodgers, tied for the lead going into the final round, fell back with too many mistakes on the back nine. The way Rahm finished,

it might not have mattered. All four PGA Tour events to start the new year now have been won by players in their 20s — Justin Thomas (23) won both event in Hawaii, and Hudson Swafford (29) won last week in the California desert. Rahm might have won for the first time, though this was hardly a surprise. He won the Ben Hogan Award his final two years at Arizona State as the top college player, along with the Jack Nicklaus Award his senior year as the best golfer. He spent 60 weeks at the No. 1 amateur in the world. Two years ago in the Phoenix Open, he tied for fifth while still at Arizona State.

Two Lawrence High senior football players announced their commitments to play college football through Twitter on Sunday afternoon. Senior offensive lineman Kobe Buffalomeat has picked to play at Illinois State. A 6-foot7, 282-pound offensive tackle, Buffalomeat earned first-team all-Sunflower League honors last season, helping the Lions to a 6-4 record. Cole Brungardt, Lawrence’s senior kicker, will join the Kansas football team as a preferred walk-on next season. He’s earned all-Sunflower League honors for the past two seasons with booming kickoffs (24 touchbacks). He made a pair of field goals last year with a long of 37 yards.

Firebirds’ Wise picks Missouri Free State High senior long snapper Drew Wise announced his commitment to play at the University of Missouri on Sunday. Wise, who played linebacker and tight end for the Firebirds, is the top-ranked long snapper in Kansas and ranked No. 12 in the nation among the 2017 class, according to Rubio Long Snapping.

big celebrations, Federer said. “We’re going to party like rock stars tonight.” By winning in Melbourne, where he first played in 2000 and where he kicked off his long reign at No. 1 with the title in 2004, he became the oldest man since Ken Rosewall in 1972 to win a slam.

Jackson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

His 10 rebounds were a game high and they came on the heels of a night when he grabbed just four boards in a Kansas loss at West Virginia last Tuesday. After that one, KU coach Bill Self called out Jackson for only getting four rebounds “in a big-boy game like that.” Rather than pout, Jackson listened. “I think it’s just one of my jobs on the team,” Jackson said. “Just always try to get to the glass, help the big guys out. Even (KU guards) Frank (Mason III) and Devonté (Graham), they go a lot too. They got some real key rebounds. It’s just a team thing.” Therein lies possibly the most impressive part about what Jackson has accomplished during his lone season of college basketball. An unquestioned Top 5 pick in this summer’s NBA Draft, it would have been easy for Jackson to come to Kansas, go through the motions and get out of town without ever putting down roots. But he hasn’t done that. The 6-foot-8 star-inthe-making from Detroit has made Lawrence home and, perhaps more importantly, made this Kansas team his top priority. With Jackson, it’s not about counting shots, getting his or impressing people in the stands.

Royals facing harsh reality Keegan Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — There is no timetable on grief. Unfortunately for the Kansas City Royals, there is one in baseball. Following the tragic death of 25-year-old pitcher Yordano Ventura last weekend, the difficult and unavoidable reality is this: The team must soon get back to business. Killed in a car crash early Sunday in the Dominican Republic, the man his teammates called Ace will be missed and the loss will be felt for years. But pitchers and catchers report to spring

training in mid-February — though many players will be there long before that — and the Royals need to fill Ventura’s spot in the rotation. The hardthrowing right-hander averaged nearly 180 innings in his three full major league seasons. The two known quantities on the starting staff are Danny Duffy and Ian Kennedy. Jason Vargas, who looked sharp in brief appearances late last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery, is expected to be ready for a full season. It appeared three pitchers were set to compete

for the role of No. 5 starter. Chris Young, an integral part of the Royals’ 2015 World Series championship, struggled last season. Matt Strahm, a young lefty who was used strictly out of the bullpen last year, spent almost his entire minor league career as a starter. Nathan Karns, acquired from the Seattle Mariners for Jarrod Dyson in the offseason, has made 46 big league starts. Now it appears that trio will be bidding for two starting spots, and the most likely of the three to get one is Karns. In 54 major league

Federer had lost five semifinals in Australia since winning his previous title here in 2010. He’d lost three major finals since winning that last Grand Slam in 2012. He hadn’t played Nadal in a major final since losing at the French Open in ’11. After twice rallying from a set down, Nadal was a break up in the fifth but couldn’t hang on to become the first man in the Open era to win each of the four majors twice. Instead, Federer became the first man in the Open era to win three of Grand Slam events at least five times (7 Wimbledon titles, 5 U.S. Opens, 5 Australian Opens and 1 French Open). “The magnitude of this match is going to feel different. I can’t compare this one with any other one except for maybe the French Open in ’09,” Federer said. “I waited for the French Open, I tried, I fought. I tried again and failed. Eventually I made it. This feels similar, yeah.” Three months ago, Federer and Nadal were in the Spaniard’s native Mallorca for the opening of a tennis academy wondering if they’d ever be able to contend for majors again.

Those things matter. But they’re all secondary to his main goal — winning. His skills have forced the college basketball world to take notice. His personality has endeared him to the Kansas fan base. And his teammates have had a front-row seat to enjoy both. “He’s an amazing player,” said fellow freshman Mitch Lightfoot of Jackson following Saturday’s win. “But an amazing kid, too. I love being friends with him.” While Jackson’s demeanor does not always scream cut-throat assassin, every once in a while he has a game where he showcases his immense talent and reminds everybody watching of all of the things can do. Nearly all of it comes within the flow of KU’s game plan and he never deviates from that team-first mindset. But it’s there. And it shows. And it shines bright.

In fact, he seemed to love it. “We knew there was gonna be a point in time where we were down and trying to come back,” Jackson said after the victory. “The thing that we really just had to do was keep believing in each other and never stop fighting.” Mission accomplished.
