Sebelius: State should act quickly to expand Medicaid

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Sebelius

Topeka — Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said Monday that Kansas lawmakers will have to act quickly if they hope to expand Medicaid under the

Affordable Care Act before Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration dismantle the program.

Sebelius, who served as U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary during President Barack Obama’s first term, was one of the

architects of the health care law popularly known as Obamacare.

She was in Topeka Monday to attend swearing-in ceremonies for the Kansas Supreme Court and Kansas Court of Appeals, and during an interview with the

Lawrence Journal-World, she was asked whether Kansas had already waited too long to take advantage of the law.

“It’s hard to tell until we know exactly what Congress is proposing, and over what sort of period of

time,” Sebelius said. “Right now as we speak, the new North Carolina governor (Democrat Roy Cooper) is moving to expand Medicaid. So theoretically if they wanted to move quickly and

Outgoing mayor Amyx highlights public trust in State of the City address

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

With controversy marking the path of the Lawrence City Commission in recent years, the guiding words for outgoing mayor Mike Amyx have been public trust.

“I cannot express how impactful these two words are for me and our entire City Commission,” Amyx said

Monday as part of the annual State of the City address. “We were tasked with gathering together during a crisis and working to regain the public trust of our community.”

Amyx took over the position after former mayor Jeremy Farmer resigned from the commission amid allegations of embezzlement in August 2015. Farmer later pleaded guilty to one count

get it to this current HHS, it’s likely to be approved.

What happens after the new administration is seated and what exactly Congress does, it’s really difficult to tell.”

Republicans in Congress have voted more than 60 times to repeal all or part of the Affordable Care Act, but those efforts were largely blocked by the Obama administration.

This year, however, they still have majorities in both chambers of Congress, but with a new president about to take office Jan. 20 — Republican Donald Trump, who has vowed to repeal all or most of the law.

The idea behind Obamacare was to extend health insurance to virtually all Americans, first by requiring most individuals to have a basic level of coverage, and requiring large employers to offer it to their workers, then by extending coverage to low- and moderate-income people either through Medicaid or through subsidized private insurance policies

sold on web-based exchange markets.

The Medicaid expansion would have extended free or low-cost coverage to individuals and families with incomes below 138 percent of the poverty level, or $27,821 in 2016 for a family of three. In Kansas, expansion would have provided coverage to an estimated 141,000 people who are currently uninsured and not eligible for Medicaid.

Under the ACA, the federal government pays 90-95 percent of the cost of adding those newly eligible individuals to the Medicaid rolls.

Expanding Medicaid was originally a requirement under the federal law, but the U.S. Supreme Court later said that was an overreach of federal authority, and it ruled that Congress could only make expansion optional.

Since then, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOP-dominated Legislature have refused to consider it.

But the 2016 elections also produced big changes in the Kansas Legislature, with Democrats and moderate Republicans making big gains in both the House and Senate, and many campaigned on the idea that they wanted

election, Lawrence residents voted out incumbent city commissioners, making Amyx the only commissioner not serving his first term.

As Amyx prepared to conclude his sixth term as mayor Monday, he said public trust will continue to be a focus.

“It is a work in progress, but I hope the community, the entire City Commission, our staff and our stakeholders see transparency and

accountability as core values and central to what we do,” Amyx said.

Still, Amyx said the state of the city was sound, and that the commission had taken steps to improve several other areas. Amyx said those areas included affordable housing, public safety, mental health and public infrastructure.

“As an organization, we are committed to making Lawrence a better place for residents,” Amyx said.

Following Amyx’s address, the commission unanimously elected commissioners Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley to serve as mayor and

LAWRENCE • STATE to take advantage of Medicaid expansion.

Senate Vice President Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, said the issue will likely be debated this year, although no one yet knows what will be possible in the new Trump administration.

“A lot of folks want to expand Medicaid. I don’t see any reason why they can’t have hearings, and if it passes, that’s the will of the body,” Denning said. “But nobody’s going to know what the end product is until the new Trump administration tells us.”

Since the election, Trump has softened his tone about the Affordable Care Act, suggesting he wants to keep some of its more popular provisions, such as prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, eliminating lifetime caps on policy benefits and allowing parents to keep their children on their family policies until age 26.

But one of the provisions that Trump and many Republicans say they object to most is the individual mandate.

Sebelius, however, said it’s not possible to have the popular provisions one-time sources of money, that would only create a deeper hole for the following year.

The House Taxation Committee met Monday afternoon to get a general overview of the state’s revenue situation, but it seems to be a foregone conclusion that one of Brownback’s signature tax cuts from 2012 will be repealed, the so-called LLC exemption that removed state income taxes entirely for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners.

That, however, would only generate about $250 million a year for the state, far less than what is needed to bring structural balance back to the state budget without coupling it with significant spending cuts.

The question, then, is whether lawmakers will pass that bill quickly, allowing many newly elected members to fulfill a campaign pledge early in the session, or wait until later in the session in order to pass a single, comprehensive tax bill.

“That’s one of the conversations that the membership needs to have before we get too far down the road. What’s the best strategy and best approach to achieving what we all know we need to do,” Hineman said.

Some lawmakers fear that if they pass a bill to repeal the LLC exemption quickly, support will then die off for other, less popular tax initiatives that may be needed, such as raising income tax rates generally or reinstating a third tax bracket for upper-income Kansans.

“I’d personally rather see it as part of a broader package,” said Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Assessments

vice mayor. Soden began her remarks by thanking Amyx for agreeing to serve and providing the city some “much needed stability.”

Soden, too, spoke to the controversy the commission faced.

“We’ve had some difficult discussions between us, and a fair amount of controversy thrown at us,” Soden said. “But here we are, on the other side, wiser and stronger, and with greater respect for each other.”

Soden said when the commission prepares to begin its first strategic planning process this weekend, it will be an

without the mandate.

“I think that is very likely to produce what in insurance geek-world is called a death spiral, where you have older, sicker patients staying in the market and younger, healthier patients immediately leaving the market,” Sebelius said.

“Evidence proves pretty definitively that without everybody participating, it’s financially catastrophic to say to insurance companies, you have to write coverage for everybody who wants it, because the people who want it and need it are likely to be seriously ill and older than people who just say ‘I’ll take my chances,’” she said.

One group that is watching closely to what happens both in Washington and Topeka is Kansas hospitals. That’s because one of the ways Obamacare is financed is through reduced Medicare payments to hospitals that previously treated large numbers of uninsured patients, known as “disproportionate share” hospitals.

The Kansas Hospital Association has said it intends to continue lobbying for Medicaid expansion in the Legislature, even as it watches what

L awrence J ournal -W orld unfolds in Washington.

The idea was that as the number of uninsured patients went down, so too would the cost that those hospitals bear to provide charity or uncompensated care to people without insurance.

But in states like Kansas that did not expand Medicaid, those hospitals only lost the Medicare payments. They did not see a significant drop in the number of uninsured patients coming through the door.

“I don’t think there’s any question that in states where Medicaid expansion has occurred, hospitals have begun to recoup what was years and years of uncompensated care, and are finding themselves in more solvent positions as more customers come through the doors with the ability to pay for the services they are receiving,” Sebelius said.

GOP leaders in Congress have said they hope to take the first step toward repealing Obamacare as early as this week. Trump and his team officially take control of the White House on Friday, Jan. 20.

School board votes to advance bond issue to May election

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school board on Monday voted unanimously to pass a resolution that authorizes and calls for a bond election this spring. The 2017 bond issue, which includes $87 million in improvements to Lawrence’s secondary schools, will now pass to district voters May 2.

The projects outlined in the bond issue, also approved Monday night as part of the district’s 2017 Capital Improvement Plan, address the needs of aging middle schools and high schools. The upcoming

bond issue follows one passed in 2013 that entailed a $92.5 million renovation of Lawrence’s elementary schools.

“Now it’s time to do the same thing in our secondary schools, particularly Lawrence High School, which is significant in the amount of work that needs to get done,” said Marcel Harmon, school board president.

The 1950s-era Lawrence High School will receive the bulk of the bond issue’s $87 million total budget, Harmon said. He estimated that well more than $40 million would be spent on the school. Those improvements would include

enlarging classrooms, modernizing the school’s library and upgrading mechanical, electrical, plumbing and roofing systems, as well as renovations to the annex, auditorium, gym, fine arts, and career and technical education areas.

Changes would also be made to create a safer, more secure campus. As of this school year, Harmon said there are more than 30 entry points to the school.

“And it’s not equitable with Free State High right now,” Harmon added, referring to the newer, more suburban school that would receive added classrooms

and parking as part of the bond issue. “So it’s really critical to make improvements for the quality of the education we provide to students, and the quality of the environments that the teachers have to work within.”

If passed by district voters in the May 2 election, the bond issue would also include modernized libraries and new collaborative learning spaces — as well as improved mechanical, electrical, plumbing and roofing systems — at Lawrence’s four middle schools.

The public has already expressed support for the 2017 bond issue, with about three-quarters

Internal probe of Kansas National Guard faults ‘toxic’ leadership Topeka (ap) — An internal investigation of the Kansas National Guard has raised alarms about leadership problems that include instances of enlistment document forgery and racism.

Guard officers found evidence that confidential information about the inquiry was leaked to people under scrutiny and retaliation occurred against individuals cooperating with the investigation, according to documents obtained by The Topeka Capital-Journal.

The Air Guard one-star general and Army Guard lieutenant colonel who led the investigation separately concluded the Kansas National Guard was being damaged by “toxic” leadership. Both investigating officers urged Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli to end management culture that protects wrongdoers and demonstrate fair treatment was available to all in the Kansas Guard.

Tafanelli, who as Kansas’ adjutant general has

served as commander of the Kansas Army and Air Guard since 2011, declined to be interviewed by the newspaper, but responded in an opinion page column.

“Unfortunately, there are a few that will choose to act in an inappropriate manner and bring discredit to themselves and their service,” Tafanelli said. “When this occurs, we work to thoroughly and impartially investigate those instances and take action to address these behaviors where necessary and

when appropriate.”

The investigation started in 2013 amid renewed allegations that Guard recruiters were pressured by superiors to forge documents to clear unqualified applicants or speed processing of paperwork. The inquiry was closed in 2015.

Investigators recommended discipline for five individuals ranging in rank from a first sergeant to a one-star general, for violating “trust and confidence of our soldiers” and disrupting

the “important mission of enlisting soldiers into our ranks.” Recommendations involved denial of promotion, reduction in rank, job reassignment and forced retirement.

Several under scrutiny eventually retired with full pomp and ceremony. And a white officer accused of inflaming racial tension was among those promoted or able to retain prestigious assignments.

Tod Bunting, a retired major general in the Kansas

Air Guard who served as adjutant general from 2004 to 2011 under Democratic Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, told the newspaper that Guard members and retirees who complained faced retaliation by superiors and pressure to leave.

“There are people internally who are fed up, but they are so intimidated,” he said.

Gov. Sam Brownback said he would “maintain full support” for Tafanelli.

WOW outage problems traced to conduit infiltration 3 armed robberies reported since Sunday ejones@ljworld.com

The problem that caused WOW Internet service disruptions on Saturday and Sunday has been identified and repaired, a spokesman for the company said.

Josh Hadden-Leggett, WOW corporate communications manager, said service to customers in the Lawrence area was disrupted Sunday starting about 2 p.m. The severed line that caused the outage was repaired by about 8:30 p.m.

Some customers saw service restored at that time, but others were brought back online throughout the evening until 11 p.m. as WOW systems were being reconfigured, he said.

Sunday’s outage followed a four-hour service disruption on Saturday.

The severed cable was a data line, so service disruption was limited to the internet and voicemail, Hadden-Leggett said. It did not disrupt regular phone lines or cable television; however, video streaming was not available during the outages, he said.

for the time customers were without service, HaddenLeggett said.

The problems were traced to the cable line of a network partner, Level 3 Communications, one of the companies WOW contracts to bring content to Lawrence, Hadden-Leggett said. Water and ice infiltrated conduit that encloses cable at a bridge, severing the fiber line inside, he said.

A repair crew thought it addressed the issue Saturday, but the same problem happened again Sunday at the same place, he said.

The outage inconvenienced residents and businesses throughout Lawrence. Valerie Taylor, marketing manager for The Merc, said the store was without internet for about an hour Saturday before its backup service was activated. During that time, the store was unable to process credit or debit cards and could only take cash or checks. That required the store to return a few customers’ intended purchases to shelves, she said.

Retailers without backup arrangements weren’t so fortunate. Sarah Soderling,

general manger of Limestone Pizza on Massachusetts Street, said the store wrote out charge slips Saturday for customers paying with debit or credit cards. It was a workable system, but many customers, especially younger ones, were inexperienced with it, she said.

“Customers didn’t understand the process of giving card information on a piece of paper,” she said.

“Some were uncomfortable about sharing card information, as they should be.”

Limestone went through 100 charge slips on Saturday and ran out of the slips when the internet went down Sunday, Soderling said. With that, she made the decision to close the restaurant at 5:30 p.m. instead of its traditional 8 p.m. closing time.

The outage might not have cost Limestone business, but it slowed the rate of business, Soderling said.

The inconvenience continued for Limestone when employees entered slips manually for processing, she said. The processor also adds a fee for all manually entered card charges, she said.

One boy is in custody and police are searching for additional suspects after three armed robberies were reported between Sunday night and Monday morning.

The three robberies are not believed to be connected, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said in a written release. No one was injured in any of the three incidents. l Around 8:45 p.m. Sunday, police responded to the 4600 block of West Sixth Street where a 16-year-old girl told officers two boys threatened her with a gun inside a vehicle, Rhoads said. The victim is familiar with 1 of the 2 suspects.

According to Lawrence Police Department activity logs, six officers arrived on the scene.

The girl said the two boys stole cash from her, Rhoads said. Both suspects were identified by investigators on Monday.

The boy accused of threatening the girl with a gun has since been arrested on suspicion of multiple charges, Rhoads said.

The second suspect was questioned and released, and investigators will complete an affidavit which will be filed with the district attorney for a charging decision.

Rhoads did not specify the charges faced by the boy who was arrested, nor did she provide the age of the boy arrested. l Around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, officers were dispatched to the intersection of West Campus Road and West Hills Terrace where a 23-year-old Lawrence man told them he was robbed at gunpoint, Rhoads said. At the scene, the man told

police two suspects pulled up next to him in a black, single cab truck as he was walking, threatened him with a gun and “demanded items from him.”

Neither of two suspects involved have been arrested, Rhoads said. The driver is described as a short, white woman in her 20s wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, Rhoads said. The passenger is described as a white man in his 20s with short facial hair, also wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt. The truck is believed to be a Dodge model made between 1998 and 2005.

Rhoads did not say what, if anything, the suspects stole from the victim. l Around 7 a.m. Monday, officers were dispatched to a business in the 1800 block of West Second Street, where a 59-year-old woman said she had been robbed by a man with a hammer, Rhoads said.

Rhoads did not specify which business was robbed.

The woman told officers that the suspect demanded money and left the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect was described as a white man wearing a blue-green shirt over a grey, hooded sweatshirt and a scarf, Rhoads said.

All three robberies remain under investigation, Rhoads said. Investigators are asking anyone with additional information to call 785-832-7509.

Representatives from the Lawrence Police Department did not respond to follow-up questions seeking information on another possible incident.

Ninth Street. l This last item is speculation, but if you can’t speculate about pizza, what can you speculate about? (I once speculated that anchovies, habaneros and pickle chips would be a good pizza combo, but a stomach pump proved me wrong.)

For whatever it is worth, keep an ear open for a chain called Marco’s Pizza moving to Lawrence. The company sent me a press release saying it has plans to open 35 new stores throughout the greater Kansas City area in the next five years. The press release specifically mentioned the communities of Lawrence, Ottawa,

Blue Springs and Shawnee as targets for expansion.

The company touts itself as the fastest growing pizza chain in the country, opening a new store about every three days. It also touts itself as the only American pizza chain founded by a native Italian. The company currently has five stores in the Kansas City market, and serves pizza, subs, wings, salads and a few desserts.

I have heard no news of an imminent deal in Lawrence, but I’ll let you know if that changes.

The Russian trap We ought to punish Russia for its election meddling but not make the situation worse by questioning the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.

F

or generations, America was smarter than Russia. We were superior in matters of technology, economics, the military and, most importantly, freedom. That is why the Soviet Union and its brand of communism failed a mere 74 years after Lenin brought it to the world.

We have reached another point where it is once again critical that we act smarter than the Russians.

The latest intelligence reports undoubtedly will convince even more Americans that Vladimir Putin and the Russians meddled in the U.S. presidential elections, with the aim of helping Donald Trump win the presidency. It is perfectly sane to believe that assertion. What would be dangerous is to use that belief to question the legitimacy of a Trump presidency.

Not only would that be dangerous, it would be dumb. It is what the Russians hope will happen. Americans questioning the democratic process would give the Russians their largest victory yet.

It is disconcerting that Trump seems threatened by the prospect of admitting that the Russians meddled in our elections. He should not be. The intelligence reports provide no indications that the Russians tampered with voting machines or did anything else to actually manipulate vote totals. Instead, they used information gathIf the Russians ered through spy craft to succeeded in a very agchanging the minds feed gressive proof some American paganda mavoters, that speaks chine aimed at influencing much more about the opinions the qualifications of American voters. of those voters If the Rusthan it does to the sians succeedlegitimacy of the ed in changing Trump presidency. the minds of some American voters, that speaks much more about the qualifications of those voters than it does to the legitimacy of the Trump presidency. Anyone paying a modicum of attention had to be suspicious that the Russians were playing propaganda games with our election.

On Oct. 7 — more than a month before the election — the director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security formally accused the Russian government of hacking emails with the intent “to interfere with the U.S. election process.”

If Americans had their minds changed

by Russian propaganda, simply add it to the list of liars who influenced the election. Most of them are based in America and funded by partisan interests — both Democrat and Republican.

There is no real reason to believe that Americans who voted for Trump are getting something different than they expected. We’re giving the Russians far too much credit if we think they engineered this outcome. If you don’t like the outcome, look no further than your fellow voters.

Perhaps what would be more productive, though, is for us all to resolve to do something about the Russians. That includes our president-elect. We defeated the Russians once before, and it was an exercise that brought us together as a country. We could use that too.

It would be sweet indeed if Russian hacking is the event that spurs Congress, the president and both political parties to become united in a common cause. If so, we should send the comrades a thank you — via email.

For GOP, the Year of Living Nervously Outspent by nearly a 2-1 ratio by Hillary Clinton and conspicuously not endorsed by the two most recent Republican presidents or the two most recent Republican presidential nominees, Donald Trump was still able to capture six states Democrat Barack Obama had twice carried — Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and the White House.

Mark Shields

“

But the real concern for Republicans is the man himself. More than a month after his upset victory, Trump, according to the Gallup Poll, was still rated unfavorably by 55 percent of his fellow Americans, and barely 42 percent favorably graded the president-elect.”

But this was only, we recall, after Trump had single-handedly organized a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, which, less than a year previously, had generally stood for free markets, free trade, cutting spending on Social Security and Medicare, and reforming both the nation’s immigration system and an activist, often hawkish, foreign policy. Trump won the Republican nomination on a platform of deporting all undocumented immigrants, preventing Muslims from entering the U.S., building a wall along the country’s southern border to keep

Mexican ‘’rapists’’ out, condemning the most recent Republican administration for taking the U.S. into war against Iraq while knowing full well that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, billing himself as the only Republican who didn’t want to cut Social Security and blaming ‘’stupid’’ negotiators for free trade agreements that benefited elites while destroying American jobs and industries.

And on Nov. 8, Trump successfully breached the Democrats’ vaunted ‘’blue wall’’ of safe states and became the first Republican since Ronald Reagan in 1984 to carry Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and he helped the Republican Party hold on to its majorities in both the Senate and the House. So why, then, with complete GOP control of the presidency and the Congress, is there an almost palpable nervousness among Republicans on Capitol Hill?

For starters, half the Republicans in the Senate and a solid majority of House Republicans have been elected (and re-elected)

since 2010, when they had the advantage of being able to run on the political offensive as critics of President Obama’s policies.

These Republicans have never served under a president of their own party, a task that requires you to defend or distance yourself politically from ‘’your’’ president’s unpopular policies. In elections while George W. Bush was holding office, Republicans — playing defense — suffered a net loss of nine Senate seats and 45 House seats.

Democrats in the Obama years fared even worse — holding today nine fewer Senate seats and 62 fewer House seats than they did eight years ago. Beginning in 2017, Republican candidates will be running on Trump’s record.

But the real concern for Republicans is the man himself. More than a month after his upset victory, Trump, according to the Gallup Poll, was still rated unfavorably by 55 percent of his fellow Americans, and barely 42 percent favorably graded the president-elect. Com-

pare that with the ratings of his three immediate predecessors at the same stage — between election and before inauguration.

Obama had a favorable rating of 74 percent, and Bush’s favorable rating was 62 percent. Bill Clinton’s was 65 percent.

In the wake of a bitter campaign, Trump has made no public effort to heal the deep divisions within the country.

Instead, he has continued to campaign, holding rallies that energize his core supporters but also feature Trump’s sustained, ungenerous taunts at his defeated opponent — with the crowd’s televised chants of ‘’lock her up’’ encouraged — which only further aggravate the nation’s polarization. What all this means is that Donald Trump could take office with no presidential honeymoon and a historically low approval rating. For nervous Republicans, this means that President Trump, when the going gets rough, will have no cushion of public support to buoy him.

And for GOP officeholders, Trump’s coattails could turn out to be a tank top.

PUBLIC FORUM

Ad hominem To the editor: Let the civics lessons begin: An “ad hominem” attack is when you attack the person who made an argument instead of the substance of that person’s argument. So when Donald Trump calls Meryl Streep an “overrated” actor in response to her criticism of his mockery of a disabled journalist, he is making an ad hominem attack, a logically irrelevant comment. It seems to be his most common reaction to criticism.

Maggie Childs, Lawrence

Not bullying To the editor: In your editorial “Noise is Not Progress,” you state that Lawrence has always championed civil rights and that Lawrence needs to stand up to the bullying ways of Black Lives Matter-LFK.

Lawrence is not free of racism, nor, in terms of its institutions, is it actively dismantling systemic racism. The incident at USD 497 is another example of Lawrence’s passive approach to blatant racism.

It is solely the work of black activists that fights racism in Lawrence. As we have seen this month, we need only one unsubstantiated story to show how fickle nonblack allies are.

Further, you exaggerate BLM-LFK’s acts as bullying. The Lawrence school board meeting of Dec. 12 was the fourth meeting BLM-LFK attended. The takeover of said meeting only occurred because the board had neglected to even respond to their concerns. Lastly, a boycott is neither coercion nor bullying. It is a tried and true mechanism. It is a consumer choice, not a ransom note.

I urge you to fully educate yourself on the history of racism in Lawrence and the ways in which progress is actually achieved before spreading hostility.

Chloe Seim, Lawrence

Obama CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We get somebody with Obama’s set of rhetorical skills about once a generation,” Rowland said. “President Obama is a skillful deliverer of a speech, but what makes him stand out is what he has to say.”

As Obama prepares to deliver his final address, scheduled for today, Rowland compiled a list of the outgoing president’s greatest hits, rhetorically speaking.

“It’s not hard to find memorable things that President Obama has said,” Rowland said.

Rowland has studied presidential rhetoric, or using language or other images to send a message, for two decades. He has a couple of books on Obama in progress now.

Rowland also has studied and written a book on the rhetoric of President Ronald Reagan, who he cited as another rhetorical great of his generation.

Both men had a way of creating a sense of shared identity with their audiences and continuing the same message — what we can do by working together — throughout their presidencies, Rowland said.

Obama’s speech at KU in January 2015 was not among his most important, Rowland said, but it was a prime example of how the president connects with his respective audiences.

Obama mentioned all the right things for a KU crowd: his family’s Kansas roots and his appreciation of the KU men’s basketball team and coach Bill Self.

To be sure, Rowland said, not everything Obama has said has been successful, particularly on policies involving issues such as the Affordable Care Act or global warming.

“It’s just much harder to present a complicated message to the American people,” Rowland said.

“Pick any of the important issues, they’re inherently complicated. And it’s easier for opponents to oversimplify it than it is for the president to explain them.”

Obama, however, will be better remembered for his usually inspirational speeches, Rowland said.

IN THIS PHOTO FROM JAN. 22, 2015, President Barack Obama waves to a crowd at Anschutz Sports Pavilion on the campus of the University of Kansas.

Here are his 12 most important addresses, along with some key highlights, according to Rowland: l July 27, 2004 — Democratic National Convention Speech in Boston, Mass. l Jan. 8, 2008 — New Hampshire primary concession speech. Obama said, “In the unlikely story of America, there has never been anything false about hope,” and used the refrain “Yes, we can.” l Jan. 12, 2011 — Speech in the aftermath of the mass shooting that injured U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords. l Jan. 20, 2009 — First inauguration.

Obama talks about “the winter of our sorrow” in a speech that was criticized at the time for its somber tone. l Aug. 28, 2008 — Acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Rowland called it “the story of America gradually becoming more welcoming and inclusive ... he talks about the evolution of the American dream.” l March 18, 2008 — “A More Perfect Union” speech, also known as his “Race Speech.” l March 7, 2015 — Civil rights march anniversary speech at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. l Jan. 5, 2016 — School shooting anniversary speech in Newtown, Mass.

Obama, moved to tears, said, “Every time I think about those kids, it gets me

mad,” and called for action to control gun violence. l June 26, 2015 — Mass shooting eulogy in Charleston, S.C. The president sang “Amazing Grace” to highlight his theme in the aftermath of a white supremacist’s shooting spree inside a black church. l Jan. 20, 2013 — Second inaugural address. Obama talked about locations marking milestones in the fight for rights for women, black and LGBT people.

“Lincoln’s is the only other second inaugural address that was better than the first,” Rowland said. l Sept. 9, 2009 — Remarks on health care to joint session of Congress.

A policy-oriented speech, including reading a letter from Sen. Edward Kennedy. l Dec. 6, 2011 — Economic policy speech in Osawatomie, representing a political pivot. “He says everybody needs a fair shot, and everybody needs to pay their fair share,” Rowland said.

“After his re-election, he drove a hard bargain and raised the top income tax bracket, and since then, income inequality has declined in this nation.”

Obama will deliver his farewell address at 8 p.m.

CST. It will air on several TV networks and will stream online at whitehouse.gov/farewell.

Tillerson’s ExxonMobil did business with Iran

105 years ago today

Tillerson’s ExxonMobil did business with Iran Issue likely to come up during hearing for State Dept. nominee Oren Dorell USA TODAY

ExxonMobil did business with Iran, Syria and Sudan through a European subsidiary while President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of State was a top executive of the oil giant and those countries were under U.S. sanctions as state sponsors of ter-

rorism, Securities and Exchange Commission filings show.

That connection is likely to surface Wednesday at a hearing for Rex Tillerson before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The sales were conducted in 2003, 2004 and 2005 by Infineum, in which ExxonMobil owned a 50% share, according to SEC documents unearthed by American Bridge, a Democratic research group.

ExxonMobil told USA TODAY the transactions were legal because Infineum, a joint venture with Shell, was based in Europe and the transactions did not involve any U.S. employees.

The filings, from 2006, show that the company had $53.2 million in sales to Iran, $600,000 in sales to Sudan and $1.1 million in sales to Syria in those three years.

Tillerson became chairman and chief executive of ExxonMobil on Jan. 1, 2006.

The SEC letter questioned ExxonMobil’s failure to disclose that it had transactions with three state sponsors of terrorism.

Compared with Exxon’s overall annual revenue of $371 billion, “these transactions are not material by any reasonable measure,” Richard Gutman, ExxonMobil’s assistant general

counsel at the time, wrote in response to an SEC inquiry.

“These are all legal activities complying with the sanctions at the time,” Alan Jeffries, media manager at ExxonMobil, told USA TODAY. “We didn’t feel they were material because of the size of the transactions.”

Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations panel, said he was “deeply skeptical about Mr. Tillerson’s actions as CEO of Exxon that were in direct contravention to express United States policies put in place to secure Americans and our country.”

Other presidents have had family on staff v CONTINUED FROM 1B

if you look at the law,” Conway said.

Trump plans to make Kushner a White House employee, meaning he is subject to federal conflict-of-interest laws.

Jamie Gorelick, an attorney representing Kushner, said the president-elect’s son-in-law is “committed to complying with federal ethics laws, and we have been consulting with the Office of Government Ethics regarding the steps he would take.”

Though the details of his White House appointment are being worked out, Gorelick said Trump’s son-in-law would resign from Kushner Companies and divest his “substantial assets” in compliance with federal law.

“He would recuse from particular matters that would have a direct and predictable effect on his remaining financial interests,” said Gorelick, a deputy attorney general for President Clinton who is partner at the WilmerHale law firm and chairman of its Regulatory and Government Affairs Department. “He would also abide by federal rules requiring impartiality in particular matters involving specific parties.”

Kushner, who turns 36 years old this week, has served as a close adviser to Trump, before and after his victory.

When Trump visited the White House two days after the election to meet with President Obama, Kushner accompanied him and

Relatives have worked in previous presidential administrations. uPresident Woodrow Wilson’s first secretary of the Treasury, William Gibbs McAdoo, became his son-in-law during that administration. uJohn Eisenhower, son of President Dwight Eisenhower, worked for a White House aide. uPerhaps most famously, President John Kennedy made brother Robert Kennedy his attorney general.

In 1967, Congress passed a law banning employment of relatives: “A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official.”

Trump aides cited legal rulings saying Congress cannot apply that law to executive branch appointments, including a case involving Hillary Clinton’s work as

chair of a health care task force created by President Bill Clinton.

Richard Painter, a chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, said that on its face, the law applies to all officials, including presidents. Painter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, also said, “A good argument could be made the other way.”

Painter said, “The upshot is it’s unclear.”

In a brief appearances before reporters Monday, Trump predicted the Senate would confirm all of his Cabinet nominees.

“Confirmation is going great,” the president-elect said at Trump Tower in New York. “They’re all at the highest level.”

Asked about attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, Trump said, “I think he’s going to do great. High-quality man.”

Trump declined to answer questions about an intelligence report that Russia interfered in last year’s election by hacking Democratic campaign officials.

“We’ll talk about that at another time,” he said.

Trump’s Q&A with reporters came after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. — who had little to say afterward.

“The president-elect and I had a good meeting about the Senate’s agenda, which, of course, includes confirming the Cabinet appointments (and) getting further down the road towards repealing and replacing Obamacare,” McConnell said at Trump Tower.

He said, “We simply talked about the Senate agenda and how we’re ready to get going once he gets down there.”

McConnell spoke about ethics reviews of Trump Cabinet nominees. “Everybody will be properly vetted as they have been in the past, and I’m hopeful that we’ll get up to six or seven — particularly national security team in place — on Day One,” he said.

Trump will be sworn in as the nation’s 45th president Jan. 20.

Clemency questions: ‘Why this guy and not that guy?’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

and not that guy? It’s the process.

When you have a process that is vertical and goes through seven layers of review, you’re going to get aberrational results,” said Mark Osler, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and a leading advocate of changing the clemency system.

“The problem is the process, not the president.”

Those layers of review include staff attorneys and the heads of the Office of the Pardon Attorney, the Deputy Attorney General’s Office and the White House Counsel’s Office. Only then do the recommendations go to the president. The Constitution gives the president alone the power to “grant pardons and reprieves for offenses against the United States.” Commutations are a lesser form of pardon that releases convicted criminals from prison but otherwise leaves the conviction intact.

The brothers appear to have been treated differently even before their petitions were filed.

Harold Damper

DONALENE DAMPER

pendent coalition of defense attorneys that agreed to take on clemency initiative cases for free.

Dewayne received a free attorney.

Harold did not and filed his petition himself.

“I didn’t get no feedback from them or nothing. I didn’t get looked at, really,” Harold said in an interview from the low-security prison in Lompoc, Calif. “To me, it’s the luck of the draw who gets a lawyer. That’s all it is.”

Osler said the clemency process has inadvertently perpetuated injustices in the criminal justice system. “If you have a good lawyer, you’re most likely to get a shorter sentence in the first place. And now with clemency, if you have a good lawyer for that, that helps you, too.”

The Clemency Project would not discuss individual cases. Project Manager Cynthia Roseberry said each case is reviewed on its own merits.

“I will say this generally: Not only during this project but in my 20 years of practice, I’ve never found two identical defendants, not even in the same case,” said Roseberry, a former federal public defender. “Each defendant has their own privacy issues and their own particular circumstances, regardless of being related to each other or not. So the lawyers would have looked at them independently.”

Under the clemency initiative, the president would consider releasing federal prisoners who: uWere serving a sentence that would be substantially lower if convicted of the same crimes today. uWere non-violent, low-level offenders without significant ties to gangs. uServed at least 10 years of their sentence. uHad no “significant” criminal history. uHad a record of good conduct in prison. uHad no history of violence.

“The clemency initiative boils down to two basic things: Would the person have a shorter sen-

tence if they were sentenced today? And secondly, would they be a threat to public safety if they were released?” said Dena Iverson, a Justice Department spokeswoman. “These public safety factors often differentiate two cases that ostensibly look very similar.”

The public safety test considers the inmate’s offense, his or her criminal history and conduct while in prison — which is not part of the public record, Iverson said.

Though they were convicted of the same crime, there were differences in their involvement. Harold was involved in the operation beginning in 1990. Dewayne was in a California prison serving time for a previous drug offense and didn’t join until 1994. Prosecutors said both Harold and Dewayne supervised the operation, but Harold had a more significant role in the drug conspiracy.

A pre-sentence report, not normally public but obtained by USA TODAY, showed that the judge considered that leadership role in sentencing despite the objections of Harold’s attorney. It also revealed that Harold has one juvenile assault conviction, for throwing an object at a vehicle when he was 12, injuring a baby inside. He served three months in a juvenile rehabilitation camp.

When the brothers were sentenced in Hattiesburg, Miss., in 1999, the judge noted that Dewayne had the more serious record. He had two prior felony drug convictions; Harold had one. “Although Mr. Harold Damper’s record is less serious than Mr. Dewayne Damper’s, it’s still pretty serious,” Judge Charles Pickering said, according to the transcript. He gave them both the same mandatory minimum sentence: 30 years in prison and a $4,500 fine.

It’s those mandatory minimum sentences Obama is trying to reverse through his clemency power. Obama views the pardon power as a case-by-case determination, reserving the right to make judgments such as those in the Damper case.

Harold’s petition was denied Jan. 5, 2016, and Department of Justice rules require him to wait one year to file again. Obama’s term ends in less than two weeks, so Harold’s fate will probably be left to President-elect Donald Trump, who hasn’t indicated what his clemency policy will be.

Harold, 49 and a grandfather, is scheduled to be released on Christmas 2024 with credit for good behavior.

“We’re all really happy for Dewayne,” said Harold’s wife, Donalene, who dated Harold in high school and married him in prison in 2011 after Dewayne played the role of matchmaker. “We just want them both to come home.”

Donald Trump and Kellyanne Conway shop for snack food at a Wawa gas station Nov. 1 in Valley Forge, Pa.

CONWAY: ‘HE IS THEIR PRESIDENT’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

would talk about anything bipartisan ... given how they have vowed to obstruct everything we do,” she said.

There already was “a great deal of information out there” about the hacking, she said. “I do find it to be very ironic that the uptick and the hue-and-cry of ‘investigation’ and ‘information’ has occurred after the election results are in. ... The fact is, the Democrats became super-duper interested in this entire issue after the election did not go the way they, quote, wanted and the way they expected.”

Republicans also have raised concerns about Russia’s actions.

Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain of Arizona and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have called for the imposition of tougher sanctions.

Conway, 49, was campaign manager last year for candidate Trump.

She became the first woman to run a winning presidential bid and is slated to be a senior White House adviser for President Trump after he is inaugurated Jan. 20.

A veteran Republican pollster and strategist, she has emerged as one of Trump’s most combative and public defenders.

She spoke with USA TODAY’s video newsmaker series at the beginning of a crucial week. Obama is scheduled to deliver a farewell address in Chicago on Tuesday.

Trump is slated to hold his first news conference as presidentelect Wednesday. The Senate plans confirmation hearings for as many as nine of his Cabinet appointees this week, including attorney general-designate Jeff Sessions and secretary of Statedesignate Rex Tillerson.

Conway said she had “hardly thought about” the Women’s March on Washington, which is

likely to draw thousands of protesters to the National Mall the day after Trump is sworn in.

“Every single issue and criticism was fully vetted and explored many times over in this election,” she said. Though she said she respected their right to protest, “I would like them to reconsider and perhaps just try to sit down and figure out how to work with their president and their vice president, because he is their president and their vice president, no matter what their hashtags say.”

Some hashtags on Twitter declare #notmypresident.

In discussing the outgoing president, Conway said she “absolutely” would watch Obama’s farewell address in Chicago on Tuesday — but she gave what sounded like a warning.

“It’s a great idea for him to do this because he knows that a great deal of what he did is not going to survive this next presidency, or maybe even this next month, in some cases,” she said.

“You build a legacy not just by checking a box and passing legislation without a single vote from the other side. Legacies have to be sustained over time; they have to endure.”

She questioned whether Obama, once he leaves the Oval Office, should lead Democrats in critiquing his successor.

“It’s appropriate for any past president to weigh in as they feel comfortable and as appropriate,” she said, then added, “I do recall that President George W. Bush gave a great deal of latitude and courtesy to President Obama and basically said, ‘I’m not the president anymore; give him his chance to run the country.’ We’d like the same.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch

STORY STOCKS Price: $56.65 Day’s high: $56.79 Low: $56.37

Optimism not a sign of bull market’s demise Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street newsletter writers are as bullish on stocks as they’ve been in more than two years. But that doesn’t necessarily spell doom for the nearly 8-year-old bull market.

More than 60% of financial newsletters in the latest weekly survey by Investors Intelligence said they were bullish, the highest reading since July 2014, Ari Wald, a technical analyst at Oppenheimer, said in a report. And while high bullish readings are normally a contrarian indicator (and often signal that stocks will do just the opposite short-term and go down or stagnate), Wald’s data show it’s “not a reason to embrace a long-term bearish

stance.”

The S&P 500 stock index fell 0.4% Monday after notching its first record high of 2017 Friday.

While the S&P 500’s forward performance when the bull reading tops 60% might be mixed short term (-0.4% a month later, on average, since 1985), it’s still bullish long term. The S&P 500 has been 1.5% higher three months later, up 3.6% six months later and 9.2% higher a year out, Oppenheimer says. The takeaway: “Investors,” Wald wrote, “should be buying (S&P 500) weakness rather than selling strength.” The best performance for stocks is when the bullish reading of Wall Street newsletters is below 30%, which signals investor pessimism and sets stocks up for surprise gains in a washedout market. The S&P 500 has been up 19.1% a year after the II bull count sinks below 30%.

The outpatient surgery provider agreed to be purchased in a cash and stock deal. The deal is through UnitedHealth Group’s OptumCare division. Shares surged premarket.

FBI arrests top VW executive in emissions scandal Kevin McCoy and Tresa Baldas

USA TODAY Network

A top Volkswagen executive has been arrested on conspiracy suspicion stemming from the German automaker’s emissions scandal, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Monday.

The weekend arrest of Oliver Schmidt, who directed VW’s regulatory compliance in the U.S. from 2012 to 2015, moves the continuing investigation into the

company’s executive ranks, the latest development in the suspected corporate wrongdoing that has cost the automaker billions of dollars.

By virtue of his position, Schmidt knew VW “intentionally installed” electronic software that enabled its diesel engines to defeat U.S. auto emissions tests, according to the Dec. 30 affidavit

by FBI Special Agent Ian Dinsmore filed in Detroit federal court. He nonetheless agreed to travel to the U.S. in 2015 for meetings in which he “intended to, and did, deceive and mislead U.S.

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

regulators” about the corporate cheating, said the affidavit, which was used to establish probable legal cause to authorize the arrest.

He was arrested Saturday in Florida, according to a report by

The New York Times.

Investigators believe they have evidence to establish Schmidt and other VW employees “conspired and unlawfully agreed” to defraud the U.S. by impeding auto-emissions enforcement, committing wire fraud and violating the Clean Air Act, the affidavit said. VW previously admitted to rigging its diesel autos to beat emissions tests and is paying about $11 billion to buy back cars and compensate owners.

James Liang, a former Volkswagen engineer who worked for the company in California, plead-

ed guilty in September to charges that included conspiracy to defraud the federal government and violating the Clean Air Act. He agreed to cooperate with federal investigators in exchange for the possibility of receiving a reduced sentence, the affidavit said. Two other unidentified employees who work in the engine development department have agreed to cooperate in exchange for agreements they will not face U.S. prosecution, the affidavit said.

Dear Annie: My daughter and I have witnessed aggressive acts in public areas and are at a loss as to what, if any, action we should take. The most recent example was when we watched a man yelling at what appeared to be his significant other. He grabbed her by the arm, forcefully placed her in the car and buckled her seat belt. Then he went into the store, and she sat there, not moving and keeping her head down. We wanted to approach the woman and ask whether she was OK, but we feared he was watching from the store. Another situation involved a young child between the ages of 3 and 5 with a cast on his arm. His guardian grabbed him by the other arm and threw him into the back seat of the car. There have been

other situations, as well.

What does one do or say without making the victim’s life even worse later when the victim and abuser are out of sight? Each time, we looked for a police officer, but none was around.

‘Taboo’ is as peculiar as it is compelling FX sets sail with an ambitious costume drama and period piece, “Taboo” (9 p.m., TV-MA). Tom Hardy stars as James Keziah Delaney, a menacing mystery man who shows up at his father’s funeral, years after his family had given him up for dead. According to respectable folk, both his mother and father had died mad and James had gone savage after decades at sea and in Africa, where he was presumed to have lost his soul before going down to the bottom of the ocean with a slave ship.

His father’s will leaves him with only one possession, a plot of land on an obscure point on the Pacific coast of North America.

First informed that it is a ‘‘poisoned chalice,’’ a worthless inheritance fraught with danger, James discovers that it is an essential property coveted by the East India Trading Company and perhaps pivotal to the negotiations to end the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States.

The pilot establishes James’ intentions to challenge the company for his inheritance and hints at dark secrets in his past and, perhaps, supernatural talents for communicating with his parents beyond the seas and the grave. ‘‘Taboo’’ is as peculiar as it is compelling, and the pilot is as interesting for what it lacks as what it shows us. Hardy (‘‘Mad Max: Fury Road’’) presents a threatening figure, but the first episode is devoid of much overt violence. Darkly lit and meticulously art-directed set pieces unfold with a pace more befitting ‘‘Masterpiece Theater’’ than a pirate action series. It’s a curious hybrid so far. A game cast includes Jonathan Pryce and a striking-looking Oona Chaplin as James’ halfsister, with whom he shares many secrets, buried and otherwise.

O “Being Mary Jane” (8 p.m., BET, TV-14) enters its fourth season with the title character (Gabrielle Union), an ambitious Atlantabased TV news anchor, moving to New York and enjoying all of the opportunities of living in a media capital. She hardly leaves her baggage behind. Once in the Big Apple, she promptly hires a matchmaker to the tune of $20,000, so eager is she to ‘‘have it all’’ as well as climb the corporate ladder. ‘‘Mary Jane’’ has won wide acclaim for respecting its character and audience enough to portray a single black female deeply conflicted about men, marriage, family and ambition. While the show deserves kudos for an honest portrayal of the phony cheerfulness of morning television, the back-office melodrama is the least interesting aspect to a show that is at its most engaging when Mary Jane is all alone with the mess she’s made of her love life.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Jan. 10: This year you are either plugged into work or lobbying to have your way. You also love diversity and change. You note that your flexibility is needed on the homefront, where there could be several disruptions.

If you are single, your romantic life becomes far more exciting after summer 2017. If you are attached, the two of you are in a period of readjustment.

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 will be on top of your game early in the day. Postpone important communication, if need be. Tonight: Make it early.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Make the most of what is happening between you and someone else. Tonight: Catch up on news and recent events.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Use the daylight hours to the max, even if you feel as if you would like to do something else.

Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ You might be slow to start, much like the tortoise, but you will finish first. In fact, you’ll even surprise yourself. Tonight: Easy does it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Listen to news more openly. You could be amazed by all the different ideas, responses and thoughts you hear in reference to what seems to be happening around you. Tonight: All by yourself.

family vacation at a beach house, supposedly to celebrate my daughter’s engagement. My daughter doesn’t want to go, and the trip comes at a time when we will be really busy. The trip feels more like a getaway for the other family members than an actual celebration for my daughter. How can we stop this madness?

— Feeling Awkward Dear Awkward: That’s odd indeed. If it’s really your daughter’s party, then she can call it off if she wants to.

She should tell her aunt that she really appreciates the thought but the timing just won’t work — and that she hopes they’ll enjoy the getaway themselves all the same. I have a feeling they will.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ Go with the flow, and you’ll be pleased with the results.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Listen to a partner or dear friend with whom you have a very special relationship. If you can relax, do. Stay more centered.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Confusion runs through your day. Stay focused on your decisions. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You have the ability to read between the lines. How you visualize a creative endeavor could make all the difference in how you handle a problematic situation.

Be careful, as you could inflict damages on yourself as a result.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

DEATHS

Olive Pearl (H Olive Pearl (Hare) Stanford, a longtime resident of both Phoenix, Arizona, and Lawrence Kansas, died Saturday morning, January 7th, 2017 at age 100, after suffering a stroke New Year’s Day. She was with her daughter and her two grandsons at their home in Lawrence, her personality and dignity intact.

Olive was born July 7th, 1916, on a farm in Glasco, Kansas. She was the second child of Pearl William Hare and Mary Copper. Olive grew up in Toronto, Kansas, attending elementary and high school there. She went on to graduate from the University of Kansas in 1938 with degree in entomology. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

She met her husband, Sharon B. Stanford, the following year in Phoenix while visiting her brother, who was stationed there with the Civil Aeronautics Administration.

They were married in Lawrence, Kansas, in September of 1940. They returned to build their adobe brick home together in Paradise Valley, Arizona, literally up from the ground under their feet, where they raised

their daughter, Mary. In 1991, seventeen years after the death of her husband, she returned to Kansas to be closer to her daughter and family.

Olive was foremost a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She is also remembered for her eye for architecture and her passion for historic preservation and adaptive reuse. In addition to Olive’s exuberant love of family gatherings and celebrations, her impressive collection of early American antique furniture, silverware and Delftware, and her enthusiasm for dressmaking and fine fabrics, she would most likely want to be remembered for her involvement in the preservation of historic buildings.

Most notable of her preservation efforts is the 1040 New Hampshire Professional Offices in downtown Lawrence,

Lieutenant Colonel Carl Clayton Krehbiel Lieutenant Colonel Carl Clayton Krehbiel, U. S. Army (Ret.), 68, of Moundridge, Kansas, died December 12, 2016, at his home in San Francisco, California, from an accidental fall. Carl’s life could be described in a wide variety of ways because he was many things to many people: devoted son, husband and loyal friend. He was a veteran, businessman, lawmaker and philanthropist. His passion for knowledge was never satisfied. Carl never stopped learning, studying, searching and questioning everything.

He was born in New Mexico, September 13, 1948, to the late Floyd H. and Kathryn Krehbiel.

He graduated from Moundridge High School in 1966. Krehbiel graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1970 from the University of Kansas with a dual degree in Germanic languages and literature and international relations. He was a participant in the U. S. Army Reserve Officer Trainings Corps (ROTC) program and studied abroad his senior year of college. He also attended the University of Southern California, where he earned his master’s degree and doctorate, and studied at Munich University as an Olmsted Scholar.

Lieutenant Colonel Krehbiel served in the U. S. Army from 1970 to 1991 and was a member of the

Special Forces. He served in Vietnam as an elite Green Beret and in U. S. Army intelligence services. Lieutenant Colonel Krehbiel was a highly decorated veteran who accepted varying assignments throughout the United States and abroad.

Lieutenant Colonel Krehbiel was a graduate of the Armed Forces Staff College, Military Intelligence Officers School, and other specialized military schools.

Military awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster; Defense Meritorious Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster; Army Commendation Medal; Parachutist Badge; and Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Identification Badge for service on the JCS Staff. These sacrifices on behalf of his country forever remained an enduring point of personal pride.

He retired from active military service in 1991 and returned to Moundridge, the central Kansas town where he was raised. When his father

died about a year later, Krehbiel took over the Moundridge Telephone Co., the family business.

A Republican, he served four terms in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2006 where he was cochairman of the Legislature’s Special Committee on Kansas Security and vicechairman of the House Utilities and Telecommunications Committee. He was widely regarded for his mastery of many subjects. In particular, he was valued by his legislative colleagues for his expertise on communications technology and he advocated for advancing of high technology communications infrastructure in rural areas.

Philanthropic by nature, he was a generous supporter of many charitable organizations throughout his lifetime and his philanthropy, most often anonymous, benefited many.

In 2011, Krehbiel established the Carl C. Krehbiel Language Summer Institute Scholarship in support of KU students attending the German summer language institute programs in Holzkirchen and Eutin, Germany. As a KU student in 1968, Krehbiel participated in the summer program in Germany. The endowed scholarship enables hundreds of students to participate and study abroad where they will live with a German host family, take

classes in German, travel throughout Germany and experience the language and culture firsthand.

Krehbiel also funded construction of the Floyd H. and Kathryn Krehbiel Scholarship Hall at KU, which opened in 2008, honoring his parents. Carl was an enthusiastic and supportive fan of KU athletics, particularly passionate about KU basketball as a donor and longtime season ticket holder. His love of KU sports coupled with his ability to memorize facts made him a walking encyclopedia of KU sports statistics and history. In 2015 he was elected an Honorary Life Trustee of KU Endowment.

Carl is survived by his wife Debra L. Marko; sister, Celia Mater of Wichita; nephew, Michael Mater; and nieces, Mary Nolan and Margaret Mater. A Celebration of Life will be held, at Quincy’s, 128 South Christian Avenue, Moundridge, on Friday, January 27, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Mr. Krehbiel has been interred in the Mound Township Cemetery, Moundridge, Kansas. In lieu of flowers, it is suggested that memorial contributions be made to the Disabled Veterans Fund, in care of Moundridge Funeral Home, 115 East Cole Street, Moundridge, Kansas 67107.

help improve your balance.

There are many ways you can work to improve your balance, and if balance is a concern, you should talk to your doctor about working with a physical or occupational therapist. There also are some simple things you can do on your own to improve your balance. l Practice feeling your balance throughout your day. Stand in a safe space such as in the bedroom with a chair directly behind you, or in the kitchen with use of a countertop near you.

Stand with your feet apart, eyes open and press your feet into the floor. Shift your weight slowly to one foot and then the other. This is a nice way to start just feeling how your body reacts to challenges in your balance without using your arms to help or support you. l Don’t rule out the use of an assistive device, such as a cane or walker. Many people are hesitant for various reasons, such as the stigma of using a cane,

Antislip mats in the shower or bathtub as well as outside the tub can help prevent falls, too. l Be careful on uneven surfaces such as grass, gravel and uneven or icy sidewalks. Our bodies have a tougher time balancing on these uneven surfaces than they do on even surfaces, so use caution. Move slowly and look carefully where you are stepping.

You use a lot of different systems to maintain

your balance, and your balance can be improved through exercise and training. Safety is always number one, and you should always consult with your doctor, physical therapist or occupational therapist before beginning a new exercise routine.

Jayhawks bracing for tough challenge against Sooners

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A split crowd in Las Vegas and a TCU arena devoid of its regular student section because of winter break make up the extent of the Kansas men’s basketball team’s experience in true road games so far this season.

Both were won by the Jayhawks, who are riding

a 14-game winning streak into today’s 8 p.m. tip-off at Oklahoma’s Lloyd Noble Center, but head coach Bill Self on Monday said he was uncertain whether his Jayhawks (14-1 overall, 3-0 Big 12) were ready for life on the road in the Big 12 Conference.

Self called KU’s energy level at UNLV and TCU “average at best,” but added that the Jayhawks have

shown much better vigor in the days since the close call against Kansas State last Tuesday.

On paper, tonight’s showdown between second-ranked Kansas, which moved up from No. 3 in the latest AP Poll released Monday, and the struggling Sooners (6-8, 0-3) looks like one of the bigger mismatches of the season.

Lon Kruger’s young and

short-handed OU squad has lost six straight games and has played its last four contests without leading scorer Jordan Woodard. According to a Monday report from the Tulsa World, that number will grow to five tonight.

Regardless of all of the factors stacked against the Sooners in this one, Self said his past experiences in similar situations caution that OU could be a

dangerous team.

“Sometimes you can catch another team’s really good effort in those particular times,” Self said. “I know when I was (an assistant) at Oklahoma State and we weren’t very good, we lived for moments like that. So I would think that Oklahoma will give us a great effort (and) play with a free mind

‘‘

It’s going to be a tough game for us. We know that they’re gonna give us their best shot.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Watson and Clemson dethrone top-ranked Crimson Tide, 35-31

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

Tampa, Fla. (ap) — College football’s first national championship rematch was fitting sequel to the original, with an unusual twist at the end.

Deshaun Watson and Clemson dethroned the champs and became the first team to beat Nick Saban’s Alabama dynasty in a national title game, taking down the top-ranked Crimson Tide 35-31 Monday night in the College Football Playoff.

Watson found Hunter Renfrow for a 2-yard touchdown pass with a second remaining to give the Tigers their first national championship since 1981.

A year after Alabama won its fourth title under Saban with a 45-40 classic in Arizona, Clemson closed the deal and denied the Tide an unprecedented fifth championship in eight seasons.

The lead changed hands four times in the fourth quarter, but Watson got the ball last. Likely playing in his final college game, the junior quarterback threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns.

Coach Dabo Swinney had built an elite program at Clemson that was missing only one thing, and now the Tigers can check that box, too.

The Tigers took a 2824 lead with 4:38 left in the fourth quarter when Wayne Gallman surged in

from a yard out.

The Tide’s offense, which had gone dormant for most of the second half, came to life with the help of a sweet call from newly promoted offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. Receiver ArDarius Stewart took a backward pass from Jalen Hurts and fired a strike to O.J. Howard for 24 yards.

On the next play, Hurts broke free from a collapsing pocket and weaved his way through defenders for a 30-yard touchdown run to make it 31-28 with 2:07 left.

More than enough time for Watson, who hooked up with Mike Williams and Jordan Leggett for great catches and big gains to get to first-and-goal.

A pass interference on Alabama made it firstand-goal at the 2 with six seconds left. Time for one more play to avoid a tying kick and potential overtime. Renfrow slipped away from the defense at the goal line and was alone for an easy toss. It was the walk-on receiver’s second TD catch of the night, adding to the two he had last season against Alabama.

When it ended Clemson’s 315-pound defensive lineman Christian Wilkins did a cartwheel and Ben Boulware, one of the toughest linebackers in the country, was in tears.

The Tigers had snapped Alabama’s 26-game winning streak and beaten a No. 1 team for the first time ever.

Physical strength couldn’t prevent inner pain that plagued boxing champ’s life

J

ack Johnson and Jack Dempsey, two of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing history, were linked by a lesser-known champ.

Jess Willard is not a household name, even among those who have households where he did during part of his reign atop the boxing world.

Willard won the heavyweight crown from Johnson on April 5, 1915, and lost it to Jack Dempsey on July 4, 1919.

Willard lived in Lawrence, at what now is Ninth and Iowa, from 1918 to 1921.

“He should have had a book written about him a long time ago,” said lifelong Lawrence resident Arly Allen.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Nobody ever bothered, so Allen, retired from Allen Press and no longer teaching a Western Civilization class at his alma mater, the University of Kansas, filled the void.

I can’t review “Jess Willard: Heavyweight Champion of the World,” written

by Allen with the help of James Willard Mace, the

late champ’s grandson. I can’t review it because I haven’t read it yet.

I can share that I spent a fascinating 45 minutes discussing it with Allen Tuesday afternoon.

Instead of reviewing a book I haven’t read, a sin of which a lie detector might reveal I was guilty during an undistinguished academic career, I’ll share why I feel sorry for a man I never met, a man who died when I was 9 years old. That alone should say something about Allen’s ability to tell a story.

It wasn’t easy to hurt Willard, a 6-foot-6, 240 pound block of muscle, with sticks or stones, but a

Davis played only 29 minutes and blocked three shots. He left the game when he was flagrantly fouled by Kyle O’Quinn, ejected for swinging his arm down hard on Davis, who was dribbling up the floor on a fast break and ended up being knocked into the front row of fans behind the baseline.

Jackson learning from few run-ins with officials

F

Smithology

reshman Josh Jackson won’t play college basketball for long, but while he’s doing so at the University of Kansas, part of his on-court education involves learning how to best carry himself when things don’t go his way.

Back in November, during just his second game with the Jayhawks, Jackson picked up his first technical foul as a collegian on a national stage, with KU facing Duke at Madison Square Garden. Jackson slapped the ball away from one of the Blue Devils during a dead ball, earning a “T” that ultimately kept him off the floor in the closing minutes of a tight game, because it counted as one of his five personal fouls.

Jackson, while not always thrilled with officials’ calls in the weeks that followed, avoided another technical foul until Big 12 play began a little more than a week ago. Then the 6-foot-8 wing did enough to inspire officials to whistle at him on a technicality in back-to-back games.

Publicly, KU coach Bill Self defended Jackson for the “T’s” at TCU and against Kansas State, but Self also worried his star freshman might have developed a reputation for needing to get in the final word

those non-conference undercards KU played in December. An NBA prospect expected to be taken in the first few picks of the draft this coming June, Jackson fouled out of the Jayhawks’ win at TCU, playing just 12 minutes and contributing only four points and two Benton Smith rebounds (both seasonbasmith@ljworld.com lows).

“Guys come out and play a lot harder, espewith referees. cially with Kansas winNow that he has ning the league so many played 15 games for KU years in a row,” said (14-1 overall, 3-0 Big Jackson, who bounced 12), Jackson was asked back with 22 points following a tech-free outagainst K-State and 17 ing against Texas Tech versus Tech, making him whether he thought he the Big 12 Newcomer of has become a marked the Week. “… There’s man with officials and if a target on our back. he thought he needed to Everybody would love change anything about to beat us.

might be expecting.

“Energy’s always important, especially in road games because it’s their crowd and their home and it’s always hard to play in front of other peoples’ crowd,” Mykhailiuk said before Monday’s practice. “We know they’re struggling this year, but they’re pretty talented, coming off a Final Four from last year and they’re playing at home. It’s going to be a tough game for us. We know that they’re gonna give us their best shot.”

Self, who said matching OU’s energy, especially early, would be important for Kansas but added that he would not know for sure where his squad measured on the intensity meter until well

(and) play with a free mind and with great energy, which they should. I think they would do that regardless, but, certainly, in a situation where they’ve gotten off to kind of a tough start, I’m sure Lon’s telling them, ‘Hey, what do we got to lose. Let’s just go out and play and have fun and like each other and play together.’”

Kansas junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who has started the past five games for Kansas, including both true road contests, said the team was bracing for a tougher challenge than many

after tipoff.

“In the locker room, you can tell sometimes,” Self said. “But sometimes you think you know and they disappoint you. And sometimes you think you’re gonna be disappointed and they surprise you. I think it’s a pretty inexact thing.”

Jayhawks jump to 2nd Thanks to Villanova’s loss to Butler last week, the Big 12 Conference now owns the top two teams in both major polls, with unbeaten Baylor ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press and coaches polls and Kansas climbing up a spot to No. 2 in the AP Poll right behind them.

received eight first-place votes in the latest AP Poll released Monday, with Baylor (15-0) getting 55 and Villanova (15-1) getting one and falling to third.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” Self said of Baylor entering the top spot for the first time in school history. “They deserve it more than anybody else.

They’ve played, and won, the hardest games of everybody (on the) nonconference schedule in America. That certainly doesn’t surprise me, nor disappoint me, nor should it.

“We had our chance, probably, to be No. 1 but we didn’t have a great week last week or the week before. We were just average and I think

THREE KEYS FOR KANSAS

1 23 Match the OU Sooners’ energy

Dominate at point guard

Bother Christian James

He’s no Buddy Hield and nobody expected him to be, but there were a great deal of hopes and expectations pinned to the sophomore from Houston entering the season.

Although he has not disappointed — particularly from 3-point range, where he enters shooting .481 for the season — James has struggled at times to be the go-to scorer the Sooners need with Hield, Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler now gone and Woodard out with injury.

In the Sooners’ first three Big 12 games alone, James has shot just 6-of-19 from the floor for 17 combined points.

The 6-foot-4, 218-pound sophomore guard is averaging 10.9 points per game overall but could find difficulty snapping out of his recent slump with KU freshman Josh Jackson stalking him in this one.

— Matt Tait

It’s been a rough season for Lon Kruger’s young Oklahoma squad, but the veterans on that team and their head coach are a proud group and know it’s a long season.

Getting a shot at the No. 2 team in the country, in their own building, could be just the thing the Sooners need to get their season back on track and Kansas coach Bill Self on Monday cautioned against taking OU lightly, especially in the energy department.

“There’s so much pride there,” Self said of OU. “With all the success they’ve had in recent memory and, of course, going to the Final Four last year, those kids aren’t happy right now, just like ours wouldn’t be (and) they’re close to having a breakout game.”

With OU point guard and leading scorer Jordan Woodard expected to be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game, the Jayhawks are in great position to dominate at point guard.

KU point guard Frank Mason III leads the Big 12 in scoring at 19.9 points per game and has led the Jayhawks in offensive attack during 12 of KU’s 15 games this season.

With Woodard out and OU relying on junior college transfer Darrion Strong-Moore to run the show, Mason should be able to continue his scoring streak while also creating problems for Strong-Moore in ways that only a point guard playing his fourth Big 12 schedule can.

In the event that Mason finds foul trouble or for some reason struggles, Strong-Moore would have the opportunity to do battle with the similarly experienced and productive Devonté Graham.

JAYHAWK PULSE

MEGA MATCHUP will pit athleticism, energy and a new-look offensive game against Lucas’ solid and steady approach when the two do battle in the Having found his groove in the paint tonight. “To me, he’s still three main aspects he stands a defensive presence, first and to have the greatest chance to foremost,” Self said of Lattin, impact — offense, defense and who enters the game averaging rebounding — KU senior Landen 8.4 points and 5.6 rebounds, Lucas will face a new challenge with 27 blocks. “But I think he’s in OU center Khadeem Lattin, a more offensive-minded and look6-foot-9, 212-pound junior foring to face up and shoot the ball ward who has filled an important more.” role during each of the past two — Matt Tait seasons for the Sooners.

Landen Lucas vs.

Khadeem Lattin

After a solid defensive effort at home against Texas Tech put to rest — at least temporarily — any major concerns about the Jayhawks’ ability to guard, Kansas heads to Oklahoma looking to pick up a second straight strong defensive performance.

Playing the struggling Sooners, who have lacked offensive punch and identity at times this season, seems like an ideal situation for the Jayhawks, who moved up to No. 2 in both polls on Monday and will

be looking for a 15th consecutive victory.

In addition to gunning to keep their winning streak alive, the Jayhawks are staring at another potential milestone, as Self currently sits on 399 victories in his 14 seasons as the leader of the Jayhawks.

Whenever KU records its next victory, it will make Self just the third coach in KU history to reach the 400-win mark.
