always thought living in a warehouse district was cool, although that time my crate and I woke up in Cleveland wasn’t that great. Something tells me the living arrangements in East Lawrence’s popular Warehouse Arts District are quite a bit different. Regardless, there’s a new plan for many more apartments

in Lawrence’s hip warehouse district. A group led by Warehouse Arts District developer Tony Krsnich is in the early stages of securing financing for two new multistory apartment buildings that also would include commercial space for the area near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets.

City commissioners at their meeting Tuesday were asked to get the process going. Krsnich is seeking a resolution of support from the commission that he can use as part of an application for affordable housing income tax credits from the state of Kansas. Krsnich — as he did

States can offer a lesson as GOP proposes deep cut federal taxes By Christina A. Cassidy and Andrew Demillo The Associated Press

Little Rock, Ark. — President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans who have pledged to cut federal taxes to boost the economy might consider looking first at lessons learned in GOP-controlled states that adopted similar strategies, only to see growth falter and budget gaps widen. The situation is worrisome enough in Kansas, Oklahoma and Indiana that lawmakers are now debating whether to reverse course and raise taxes. And political leaders in states that have seen expanded Republican control, such as Arkansas and Iowa, are signaling caution about any new tax-cut proposals. “It does not take a Ph.D. in economics to know that we can’t say yes to every spending need, and we should also not say yes to every tax-cut idea,” Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson warned late last year. The reforms show that tax changes always carry an element of uncertainty — about the economy, government needs and even the prices of commodities such as oil. Although the federal and state tax systems are significantly different, both are subject to forces beyond lawmakers’ control. A recent Associated Press survey

Krsnich has envisioned asking for a larger incentive package that would have allowed him to build underground parking for the new projects. But he said his read of City Hall is that such a request would not be met favorably. Instead, he’s building some surface parking into the projects, and he plans to convert a gravel parking lot just east of the Poehler Lofts building into a paved parking lot that can serve as overflow parking for the new apartments and for other uses in the district. These two projects may help the district grow its number of uses. The two apartments will be a bit different from Krsnich’s other projects because they will include commercial space on the ground floor. Krsnich said he didn’t know yet what to expect on that front. He said some of the space could be retail, but he also noted that demand for office space in the district is high. The district houses architects, engineers, attorneys and other professionals in some of the smaller warehouse space along Pennsylvania Street. Of course, the district also has a strong art gallery presence, and that could grow too. “I’ll leave those details up to the market,” Krsnich said. “I want to build the space and begin conversations with people about it.” Krsnich said the market has thus far produced some great results for the district. Krsnich first became involved in the area about five years ago when he decided to renovate the then-dilapidated Poehler Grocery Warehouse building into loft-style apartments through the state’s affordable housing program.

L awrence J ournal -W orld As that project became successful, Krsnich’s company began acquiring other old warehouse buildings along Pennsylvania Street and converted those into various uses, including office space, the Cider Gallery and the recently opened Bon Bon bistro. “I think this district is a lot about the cool factor and the potential of Lawrence,” Krsnich said. “It is important to understand the idea of smart growth and talent-driven growth. That’s what is happening here. I have just tried to get out of the way of it. It has taken on a life of its own, and it has exceeded any of my expectations.” Commissioners approved the resolution of support at their meeting Tuesday. The resolution was removed from the commission’s consent agenda, and passed on a 4-1 vote. Mayor Leslie Soden voted against the resolution, but only on procedural grounds. She said she thought the process should be examined to determine whether the city’s Affordable Housing Advisory Board should first review such requests. The resolution of support does not give the projects all the approvals they would need from City Hall. The projects would require proper land use approvals, and the City Commission would have to approve any tax rebates or other incentive requests. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde contributed to this article.

taxes and adopt a new registration fee for motorists to help pay for road improvements. Critics say the effort is simply shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to everyone else. “This is going to be the first session I remember coming into that the Republicans are advocating for tax increases,” said Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, a Democrat. “At the same time, we’re continuing to give tax breaks to corporations and businesses. How are they going to explain that?” In Kansas, lawmakers have struggled to balance the budget since they slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at the urging of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. The state has faced economic pressures related to a decline in agriculture and oil prices, but the broad-based tax cuts are viewed largely as an unsuccessful effort to stimulate the economy. Lawmakers are now debating their third tax increase since the cuts were passed, with the state facing projected shortfalls of $1.1 billion through June 2019. The Brownback

administration has proposed higher taxes on certain business owners, cigarettes, beer and liquor. Other plans include diverting highway money to general government programs, scaling back contributions to the pension program for public employees and liquidating a $317 million investment fund. Brownback’s budget director, Shawn Sullivan, warned of dire consequences if the proposals are not approved. “You’re left with huge tax increases or huge (budget) cuts,” Sullivan said. “Even the mix between the two is huge.” Whatever happens in Washington is likely to affect state budgets in some way. That gives lawmakers another reason to move cautiously. A congressional tax overhaul could eliminate key exemptions benefiting state and local governments. At the same time, the promise by Trump and congressional Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act would probably reduce the amount of federal money sent to states. In New York alone, repealing the health

care law would cost the state an estimated $3.7 billion in federal funding, or roughly 2.5 percent of the state budget. A House tax plan would reduce federal revenue by $3 trillion in the first 10 years; Trump’s plan would cut revenue by $9.5 trillion over the same period, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Trump has disputed the analysis. Previous tax cuts are not the only reason for downbeat budget forecasts. In Democrat-dominated California, where voters approved tax increases and state revenue has soared in recent years, Gov. Jerry Brown is warning of a possible $1.6 billion shortfall. Medicaid costs are contributing to budget gaps in Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New York and Rhode Island. Other states are dealing with increasing spending demands in education and health care. Energy-producing states such as Oklahoma, Alaska and New Mexico have struggled in part because of a decline in oil and natural gas prices. Oklahoma’s budget

woes were deepened by a reduction in the top individual income tax rate that took effect just as the state’s economy began to contract amid lower oil and natural gas prices. Three straight years of budget shortfalls were closed largely with cuts to state agencies. Now the Republican governor and GOP-controlled Legislature are considering raising taxes on cigarettes, gasoline and some services to help fill an $870 million budget hole. The state Department of Human Services has slashed about 1,200 non-child welfare positions to deal with the falling revenue. “Every time the government wants to cut,” said Marcellius Bell of Oklahoma City, who serves as legal guardian for three adults with severe developmental disabilities, “it seems like they cut services to the disabled, the veterans and the nursing homes.”

In addition, the fedCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A eral court in Kansas City, Kan., has not yet issued a blocking the state from final ruling in a set of cases enforcing the law.

people who said they had successfully registered using the state’s online registration system. That story was first reported by The Associated Press and was carried in several Kansas news outlets, including the Lawrence Journal-World. It noted that a potentially large number of people registered using the state’s online system and received confirmation that their registrations were successful, only to find out at the polls that the registrations had not gone through. The problem was attributed to a “glitch” in a web-based system that communicates between the secretary of state’s office and the Division of Vehicles in the Department of Revenue. Kobach told reporters Tuesday that only a small percentage of the provisional ballots that were thrown out during the November elections were related to that computer glitch. “The thousands of ballots thrown out had to do with provisional ballots, and every year thousands of provisional ballots are cast, and about 30 percent of those thousands are thrown out because the person does not legally qualify to cast a vote,” Kobach said. “The tiny, smaller issue within the article was, of course, what

you’re now referring to, and that is the computer glitch, if you will, that the (Division of Vehicles) had.” Kobach said the problem was that if the Division of Vehicles’ server went down while someone was in the process of using it, the user would get a message saying the registration was complete, but the computer system would not record it and relay the information back to the secretary of state’s office. Bryan Caskey, who heads the Elections Division in the secretary of state’s office, said he didn’t know exactly how many voters had been affected, but he described it as “more than a handful and less than several hundred.” Officials at the Department of Revenue declined to comment on the situation “because of pending litigation.” Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, however, said he wasn’t satisfied with that answer. “It has been stated that if one person votes illegally, it hurts the election,” Shew said, referring to Kobach’s own justification for strict photo ID and proof of citizenship laws that he says are intended to prevent noncitizens from voting. “This is a frustration we’ve been dealing with for quite some time.” Shew said his office began tracking cases of

voters who claimed to have registered online because there have been a growing number of them over the last few election cycles. Shew said that in Douglas County alone in November, there were 148 provisional ballots cast by people who said they had registered online, but whose registrations were not recorded in the poll books. Of those, he said, 56 were eventually counted, either because officials were able to find a record of the registration or the person had a confirmation receipt or a screenshot of the computer screen showing they had registered successfully. But the other 92 provisional ballots from that group were not counted, he said, because officials could not find a record of their registration and they did not have a confirmation receipt or screenshot showing they’d completed the process. “It is extremely frustrating as an administrator of an election when you have someone standing there with a receipt saying they’re duly registered, but they’re not showing up in the poll books,” he said. “That system’s not working.”

found that more than half of the states — 33 — are currently dealing with a budget shortfall or expect to confront one in the coming fiscal year. Experts say state economic growth has been slower than expected, with revenue in some places failing to meet projections or keep up with rising spending needs. Hutchinson, who took office vowing to slash income taxes, has proposed a much more modest cut of $50 million annually for low-income taxpayers. Meanwhile, a top Arkansas GOP lawmaker has said any tax-cut ideas may have to be set aside for a few years until the state’s financial picture improves. State revenue is running $8.8 million behind projections for the fiscal year. After Indiana Republicans cut income, corporate and property taxes, the state developed a $300 million budget gap. GOP lawmakers are now pushing a plan to raise gasoline

Couple accuses KC mayor, attorney of legal malpractice By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

For the second time, a Douglas County family is accusing Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Sylvester James Jr. and another Kansas City attorney of legal malpractice. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Douglas County District Court by Aniela and Devin Kiekel and lists James and Michael Mohlman as defendants. The lawsuit is seeking damages in excess James of $75,000. The Kiekels filed a similar lawsuit against James and Mohlman in October 2015,

though it was dismissed in July 2016 for lack of prosecution, court records show. Matt Birch, an attorney representing the Kiekels, declined to comment on the case, and attempts to reach James and Mohlman Tuesday were unsuccessful. In December 2009, Aniela Kiekel was pregnant with twins and went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where the children were delivered by Cesarean section, the lawsuit says. However, “as a result of medical negligence,” one of the two children “died in utero” and the other “was born with preventable permanent neurologic injury,” the suit says. That spring, the Kiekels hired James and Mohlman

— both employed at the time by the Sly James Firm, Trial Lawyers, PC — to look into legal options they might have regarding the death of one child and the injury of the other, the lawsuit says. However, in December 2011, Mohlman wrote the Kiekels saying the firm would not pursue the case and “erroneously” informed the parents of the Kansas statute of limitations, the lawsuit says. Mohlman told the Kiekels they would be able to pursue legal action until their surviving son turned 19 years old, the lawsuit says. Mohlman’s “advice about the statute of limitations” was inaccurate and misleading, the lawsuit says. “At no time in their representation ... did

(Mohlman or James) recognize or investigate (the Kiekels’) potential claims for the death of their son.” Approximately one week after Mohlman declined to pursue the Kiekels’ case, the twoyear statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim expired, the lawsuit says. In 2014, and with another law firm, the Kiekels filed a lawsuit against the Lawrence Family Practice Center and two doctors employed there, “alleging medical negligence” in the death of one son and the injury of the other. “On March 18, 2015, the District Court of Douglas County, Kansas dismissed (the Kiekels’) wrongful death claim as barred by the Kansas two-year statute of limitations,” the lawsuit says.

However, Douglas County District Court records show the lawsuit was reopened a month later. The newly filed lawsuit argues that James and Mohlman compromised the Kiekels’ ability to pursue legal action because they did not fully investigate the cases or offer sound legal advice. As of Tuesday afternoon, neither James nor Mohlman had responded to the Kiekels’ claims in district court. The Kiekels’ medical malpractice lawsuit is also seeking damages in excess of $75,000 and is scheduled to go to trial this August. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

Health inspector website glitch lists false code violations House committee

ravis Jacobsen woke Tuesday shocked to see a report listing his business, which was set to offer food for the first time that day, in violation of Kansas health code laws. Along with his father, Jacobsen owns Lawrence’s only arcade, Epic Fun, 711 W. 23rd St., and Tuesday was the business’ first day offering food to the public. Jacobsen’s shock came because he knew his arcade had been given a clean bill of health from the inspector who came by more than a week before. Indeed, Autumn Schuck, inspection manager with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, said Jacobsen’s business passed its Jan. 6 inspection with flying colors. Instead, the report listing the business as out of

Eudora school board supports creation of TIF district By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Eudora school board agreed to aid the redevelopment of 15 acres of former district property by supporting an economic development tool that will help finance the construction of infrastructure improvements at the site. At its Jan. 12 meeting, the board agreed to support the creation of a Tax Increment Financing District for the Nottingham property. “The board recognizes

the importance of the development of Nottingham,” said Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal. The Eudora City Commission is to have a public hearing on the formation of the TIF district at 7 p.m. Monday. It is expected to vote to create the district at the meeting that will follow the hearing. Eudora school board member Joe Hurla will speak at the public hearing, Splichal said. The city of Eudora bought the former Nottingham Elementary

School and the adjacent Law Field from the Eudora school district for $85,000 in 2015 with the goal of controlling the redevelopment of the 15-acre site on the city’s Kansas Highway 10 gateway. In April 2016, the Eudora City Commission selected the Kansas City, Mo., firm CBC Real Estate Group to develop the property and entered into a predevelopment agreement with the firm in May, which committed the city to work exclusively with CBC while the firm recruited future tenants

for the property. The city and developer will eventually enter into a development agreement that ties down the responsibilities of both parties in the property’s development. Creation of a Nottingham TIF district would allow the added property, sales and franchise taxes collected from the site’s redevelopment to be used to finance needed infrastructure improvements at the site. TIFs cannot be used to finance privately owned buildings.

By its support of the TIF district, the board agreed to allow the school district’s added property taxes from improvements to the property to be used to retire the bonds. By state statute, TIF bonds can have up to a 20-year retirement schedule. At the board meeting, Splichal also updated the board on the ongoing search for a new principal for Eudora Middle School. Current EMS Principal Denise Kendall is retiring on June 30. Splichal said the district

currently has 31 applications, including one from an internal candidate, for the position and expects more before the Jan. 31 application deadline. Interviews will be scheduled in the second and third week of February for four to six candidates selected from the applications, Splichal said. The goal is to recommend someone for the position to the board at its March meeting, he said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him on Twitter: @ElvynJ

2 men face unrelated charges involving Details emerge on Thursday chase minors, pornographic or obscene materials By Conrad Swanson

In separate incidents, two Kansas men are facing charges in Douglas County related to pornographic or obscene materials and minors. The first man, Axl Bo Wayne Chavez, 26, of Lawrence, turned himself into the Douglas County Jail on Friday, booking logs show. A criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court indicates that Chavez faces a single felony charge of sexual exploitation of a child. Chavez is accused of possessing child pornography between March and April of 2013, the complaint says. Chavez does not have a criminal history in Douglas County or a record

And although the department is requesting the vendor in charge of the website to fix the problem, Schuck said there is a long list of problems yet to be fixed and it is unclear when the glitch will be resolved. In the meantime, it’s better to reserve judgment than to rush to conclusions, Schuck said. If someone is unclear about a

Chavez was released from jail on Friday, shortly after he was booked in, after he posted a $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 24, when a date will be set for his preliminary hearing. There a judge will determine if enough evidence exists to order him to stand trial. In a separate incident, a Girard man is accused of providing a minor with obscene material. James Matthew Kichler, 30, turned himself into the Douglas County Jail on Friday and was released later that same day after

posting a $1,000 bond. Kichler faces a single misdemeanor count of promoting obscenity to minors, according to another criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court. Between November 2014 and February 2015, Kichler is accused of illegally providing a child with obscene material. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge. Kichler does not have a criminal record in Douglas County or with the Kansas Department of Corrections. He is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 26, when a date will be set for his criminal trial.

recent inspection, Jacobsen is back to business.

Police reports offer a few additional details regarding a chase early Thursday morning that involved more than a dozen law enforcement officials from multiple agencies. At 12:22 a.m. Thursday, 15 Lawrence police officers responded to an “attempt to elude” call near the intersection of Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive, according to department activity logs. Douglas County sheriff’s deputies helped to set up a perimeter and assisted in a search regarding the chase, said Sgt. Kristen

Dymacek. However, because the incident is under investigation by the Lawrence Police Department, Dymacek declined to comment further. Tuesday morning, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads declined to offer additional information, citing the ongoing investigation. However, the public pages of police reports offer a small glimpse of what happened. Although the chase began on Lawrence city streets, it ended on a park trail or outdoor recreational area, the report indicates. It is not clear precisely where the chase ended, but the incident lasted until 2:37 a.m.

The report indicates police are unclear as to why the suspect ran and it is not clear whether drugs or alcohol were involved. The report also lists three offenses that took place during the chase: reckless driving, felony obstruction and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer while committing five or more moving violations. As of Tuesday afternoon, no arrests in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bore an incident report matching the chase. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

Biased media? Think again The handling of the Trump dossier speaks volumes about how the mainstream press actually operates.

ere is a thought exercise for everybody, but particularly Donald Trump supporters who spew a certain type of hatred for the mainstream media. It is now clear that there is a dossier with allegations — if true — that further impinges the character of Presidentelect Trump. It also is clear that the major players of the mainstream media — The Washington Post and The New York Times, for example — have had the dossier for months. However, the mainstream media never released the details of that dossier or made it a part of their coverage during the presidential campaign. Here is the thought exercise part: If the mainstream media’s goal was to see Hillary Clinton elected, why didn’t the mainstream media report voraciously about the dossier and its allegations? Any political strategist worth his salt would recognize at the moment FBI Director James Comey released his letter regarding Clinton’s emails that Clinton needed something to change the conversation. Enter the dossier. It would have created a story of depravity to counter Clinton’s story of dereliction, and the whole thing likely would have been a draw. With Clinton’s standing in the polls at that moment, a draw is all she needed to become president. But the mainstream media produced no such stories. Why? Because the mainstream media is not made up of political strategists but rather of journalists. The media tried to confirm the allegations, but were unable to do so. Multiple media organizations — entities that supposedly were working to ensure Trump did not get elected — made the relatively easy journalistic call that they would not report unsubstantiated rumors of such an explosive nature during the final days of a close presidential election. Yes, post-election the website BuzzFeed made the decision to publish the dossier. It deserves the criticism it is currently receiving for that decision. But to focus only on BuzzFeed’s action misses a good part of the point. The BuzzFeed decision is evidence that a news site that has its DNA as a click-bait factory isn’t a high-quality news source. But more importantly, the mainstream media’s handling of the dossier is overwhelming evidence that the media were not seeking to engineer a particular outcome in the elections. Every partisan who blabbers about the mainstream media doing all it can to get Clinton elected needs to explain the dossier. The dossier was an obvious and easy strategic move that likely would have sealed the deal for Clinton in the final days of a tightening presidential campaign. Yet, that card remained unplayed. Certainly the media has its flaws, like every other sector of America does. But if the growing number of media haters would be honest with themselves, they may realize America doesn’t have a biased media problem as much as it has a biased populace problem. Too many people only want to hear the “news” that reinforces what they believe. The next four years should produce a convincing case of why the news business really doesn’t work that way. Exhibit No. 1: There is a president named Trump.

Climate change progress likely safe Washington — If you’re worried about climate change, it’s scary to think that the incoming Trump administration could reverse gains made in recent years. But a recent conversation with departing Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz convinced me that the progress is probably irreversible. “There’s no question that we are moving to a lowercarbon economy,” Moniz said in an interview in his office here. “What’s happening is largely a market-driven phenomenon. ... There is no status quo ante.” Moniz cited a range of economic and technological factors that will sustain the long-term move toward reduced carbon emissions, regardless of the policies adopted by President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed skepticism about climate science and government efforts to cut emissions. Clean-energy technologies have become much cheaper and more efficient, Moniz noted, and the global market for them will lure U.S. companies. Utility and manufacturing industry executives, who have to plan investments on 30-year time horizons, aren’t likely to make long-term bets on high-carbon projects. Moniz is an example of the brainpower and expertise that will walk out the door when the Obama administration leaves office on Friday. He’s a nuclear physicist for MIT who has been involved in government energy projects for

“

Moniz argues that Trump and his supporters have wrongly argued that energy efficiency is a job killer, when the opposite is true.” two decades. His designated successor, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, has no comparable educational or business background that would equip him for the job. As Moniz prepared to leave his post, the Energy Department released several studies that underline his argument that climate-change progress is being driven by the market, rather than government. Smart government policies have encouraged and reinforced this evolution, but it now has a life of its own, the studies suggest. Some DOE statistics drive home this point. The coal industry, which Trump has promised to revive, is experiencing a long-term cyclical decline, as other energy sources become cheaper. The industry shrank about 60 percent between 1985 and 2016, with a loss of over 141,000 jobs. Oil

and natural gas experienced a boom over that same period, adding more than 80,000 jobs over the past decade. Domestic oil production nearly doubled from 5 million barrels per day in 2008 to 9.4 million barrels in 2015, thanks largely to shale-oil production. As natural-gas production rose and prices fell, utilities turned increasingly to this lower-carbon source of energy — sharply reducing carbon emissions. DOE data show that energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions in the first six months of 2016 were at their lowest level since 1991. The department estimates that 61 percent of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the power sector from 2006 to 2014 came from switching from coal-fired plants to gas-fired ones. A prime example of the changing pattern of energy production and employment is West Virginia. Coal production and jobs have fallen sharply in the southern part of the state. But Moniz noted that production and job growth in natural gas has risen significantly in northern West Virginia in recent years. Coal has a future, Moniz said, but it will be shaped by the ability to capture carbon emissions. Utilities at home and abroad will want “clean coal,” so the advance of carbon-capture technologies will be crucial for the industry’s economic survival, regardless of federal policy. Moniz argued that continuing declines in the

costs of alternative energy sources are making them increasingly competitive. Since 2008, costs have fallen 41 percent for land-based wind power and 64 percent for utility-scale solar power. The cost of efficient LED light bulbs has fallen 94 percent since 2008. The cost of battery storage has declined 70 percent over that period, making electric vehicles more affordable. As of last August, there were 490,000 electric vehicles on the road. Moniz argues that Trump and his supporters have wrongly argued that energy efficiency is a job killer, when the opposite is true. According to a DOE study released last week, the energy sector as a whole employs about 6.4 million Americans, with 2.2 million of that total employed in design, installation or manufacture of “energy-efficiency products and services,” a sector that added 133,000 jobs in 2016. The DOE study predicts that energy-related jobs will grow 5 percent in 2017, with the fastest rate of 9 percent coming in the energy-efficiency sector. What the Trump administration will do in energy and climate policy is a mystery, as with so many other areas. But my takeaway from Moniz is that in terms of the underlying trends, even a Trump administration wrecking ball at DOE wouldn’t significantly alter the long-term move toward a cleaner and safer planet. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

I think we all generally agree that there is some need to address people with mental health challenges. More than what we’ve been doing before, some way of tracking it, some way of trying to come up with best practices to try to avoid negative outcomes with the people that are experiencing those challenges.”

But, Khatib continued, putting in place a mental health squad to track the data would require that two to three officers be devoted full-time to the endeavor, and the police department has been having trouble hiring enough staff to keep up with vacancies. “The timeline is dependent on staffing,” said Khatib, who noted that right now the department is four positions short and due to lose another 10 people in June. Khatib’s comments were made in response to a new report by Michael Eglinski, city auditor, which Khatib concluded that better data collection could strengthen law enforcement responses to people with mental illness. “An area where we are not yet where we need to be, in terms of the essential elements, is some of the data planning and evaluation approaches,” Eglinski told commissioners. “The data is important to be able to both manage the program but also to show how it is working and whether it is working.” Data would help evaluate police department programs, as well as other local initiatives, such as the proposal to develop a mental health crisis intervention center in Douglas County. Currently, the data collected by the police department is limited,

He said the goal is to have all officers go through CIT training by 2018. The report made four other recommendations for the police chief.

“In Defeat: Defiance. In Victory: Magnanimity.” — Winston Churchill “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do.” — Donald Trump At inauguration time, magnanimity usually prevails.

WASHINGTON A stream of House Democrats joined dozens of their colleagues Tuesday in vowing to boycott Presidentelect Donald Trump’s inauguration in the wake of him lashing out at civil rights icon Rep.

Abortion rate at lowest rate since ‘Roe’ Survey points to better contraceptive use, limited access

ABORTION RATE DECLINES The number of U.S. abortions per 1,000 women age 15-44:

Susan Miller @susmiller USA TODAY

29.3

The abortion rate in the U.S. has dipped to its lowest level since the Supreme Court’s landmark 1973 decision that legalized the procedure nationwide, a survey released Tuesday finds. The abortion rate in 2014 was 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy group that backs abortion rights. In 1973, the year of the historic Roe v. Wade decision, the rate was 16.3. The 2014 figure also was down 14% from the 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women reported in a 2011 Guttmacher survey. About 926,200 abortions were performed nationwide in 2014, the report found, compared with 1.06 million abortions in 2011. The survey comes three days before Donald Trump, an avowed abortion opponent, is inaugurated as the nation’s 45th president. The results also land 10 days before Kellyanne Conway, a top Trump adviser, speaks at the 44th annual March for Life on Jan. 27. Abortion rights advocates are concerned because Trump will be nominating a justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia, and some

Abortion rights supporters and critics rally at the Supreme Court in March during arguments in a Texas abortion case. fear the 7-2 Roe v. Wade decision could be at risk. Better birth control is a key to the declining number, says Megan Donovan, a senior policy manager at the Guttmacher Institute. “The primary driver behind the decline was most likely improved contraceptive use, which leads to fewer unintended pregnancies,” she says. “This is good news because it suggests women are increasingly able to access the resources they need to plan their families and avoid unintended pregnancy.” For abortion opponents, the numbers indicate a different benchmark, says Randall O’Bannon, director of education and research for the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund. “Though we’ve still quite a ways

to go to restoring full legal and moral respect for the unborn, this is a critical milestone, getting below 1 million abortions for the first time since 1975.” Beyond contraception and laws limiting abortion access, O’Bannon says his group believes a societal shift may be in play. “One element that may not be getting its due is the increasing sense among Americans that abortion is a no real solution for mothers, for their babies, or for society in general.” During a presidential debate this fall, Trump, who has called himself “pro-life,” said that if Roe is overturned, states will have the right to weigh the legality of abortion as they did before the Supreme Court decision. However, the question of

whether Roe could really be reversed has been up for debate. Even with Scalia’s replacement, the court could remain one or even two votes shy of a majority to overturn the 44-year-old precedent. In June, the court delivered its most consequential ruling on abortion in years, striking down restrictions on Texas clinics and doctors that threatened to prevent thousands of women from obtaining abortions. The court ruled 5-3 that a Texas law imposed undue hardships on women without sufficient health

benefits. The restrictions threatened to close all but nine clinics and could have left the state unable to handle an estimated 65,000 to 70,000 abortions a year. Donovan acknowledges that state abortion restrictions may have played a role in the survey’s findings. Such restrictions include parental notification laws, 24-hour waiting periods and bans on abortions after six or 12 weeks. “Between 2011 and 2014, over 200 abortion restrictions were passed in the states, an unprecedented attack on abortion rights following the 2010 midterm elections,” she says. Both abortion rights supporters and abortion foes are girding for a new administration — and potential new battlegrounds. “Our hope for President-elect Trump is that he will appoint pro-life judges, and that the Congress will pass and the courts will approve measures that offer greater protection to the unborn and will reduce these numbers even further,” National Right to Life President Carol Tobias says. Donovan says abortion rights groups are prepping for a reality in which abortion and contraception are harder to access. “Rolling back policies that allow women to manage their reproductive health will have profound consequences, especially for low-income women, women of color and young people,” she says.

Trump’s response to comments by Lewis. In an interview with Meet the Press, Lewis called Trump’s presidency illegitimate and said he wouldn’t attend the swearing-in. Trump slammed Lewis on Twitter, saying he should spend more time fixing his district that is falling apart and that he was “all talk, talk, talk — no action or results. Sad!” Trump continued the feud Tuesday. “John Lewis said about my inauguration, ‘It will be the first one that I’ve missed.’ WRONG (or lie)!” he tweeted. “He boycotted Bush 43 also.” Lewis’ office acknowledged that the lawmaker had skipped Bush’s inauguration in 2001. By Tuesday afternoon, more than 50 lawmakers said they wouldn’t attend the swearing-in. Some had already said they wouldn’t go, but others said Trump’s criticism of Lewis led them to skip the inauguration. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said he will be in Washington to greet constituents attending inauguration events, but he won’t be at Trump’s swearing-in.

Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., is among the lawmakers who plan to skip the inauguration.

“Every American should respect the office of the presidency and the fact that Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States,” Castro said in a statement. “But winning an election does not mean a man can show contempt for millions of Americans and then expect those very people to celebrate him.” Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., said it’s not a decision he made lightly. He said he has heard from hundreds of constituents in the wake of Trump’s attacks against Lewis and complained that Trump has used his “bully pulpit for insult and ridicule.”

Yarmuth said, “It is not my intent to protest the election results or to make a statement about policy.” However, he said, “I will not be attending the inauguration because I believe the office of the president deserves our respect, and that respect must begin with the presidentelect himself.” Scott Golden, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party, said he’s disappointed some lawmakers have decided not to attend, particularly since Lewis didn’t go to the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001. “Obviously, Congressman Lewis is a hero of the civil rights movement,” Golden said. “However, not attending the inauguration seems more partisan than it is patriotic. Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. It is incumbent on everyone to work together to make America great again.” Butterfield said he will attend Trump’s State of the Union Address. “After the inauguration and after the State of the Union, I’m hoping that we will see a Donald Trump that is transformed,” he said, “and that once he settles in, he will recognize the enormity of

his responsibility. And I would hope that he would become a responsible leader. But right now, he’s acting very irresponsibly.” Butterfield called the decision whether to attend a personal choice. “Each CBC member has his or own conscience and their own politics they have to resolve,” he said. Many lawmakers boycotting the inauguration are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, but the caucus has issued no formal statement on the matter. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., the new caucus chairman, said late Monday on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show that he wasn’t sure whether he would attend. Richmond credits Lewis and other civil rights veterans for fighting to open the doors for him and other African Americans. “In a tweet, the president-elect of the United States chose to ignore all of that for petty silliness,” Richmond said. “That’s unfortunate. I think the reaction throughout the country, Democrat and Republican, black and white, is very fitting where people are taking up for John Lewis’ past.” Contributing: Michael Collins

what he said he’ll do — like bring back jobs, secure the southern border and generally make America great again. “That’s going to promote more positive interactions between the two camps,” says Rachel Quade, a real estate agent and Republican activist who lives outside Indianapolis. “It’s hard to stay angry when there’s good news.” Presidents always come into office with an agenda and a mandate. As Barack Obama famously told Republican congressional leaders eight years ago, “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” But winning candidates usually make at least a show of bipartisanship. In 2000, after Al Gore conceded the presidency, George W. Bush made a nationally televised speech from the chamber of the Texas House of Representatives. “Here, in a place where Democrats have the majority, Republicans and Democrats have worked together,” he said. “The spirit of cooperation I have seen in this hall is what’s needed in Washington.’’ In 2009, Obama attended a dinner honoring John McCain, the GOP nominee, on the night before the inauguration, and he spoke warmly of McCain at a luncheon after the inauguration. Since Trump has the lowest approval rating of any recent in-

coming president, it would seem logical for him to try to mend fences. At times he has. He spoke graciously of Clinton after she conceded defeat and declared “it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division.” In a Today show interview last month, he promised, “We’re going to have a country that’s very well-healed.” But for the most part — especially on Twitter, and unlike any recent president-elect — he has

“I’m not worried about people who are disappointed. ... Healing is something they’re gonna have to work out on their own.” Erwin Jackson, Tallahassee, who voted for Trump

stayed in campaign mode. He has lashed out at Bill Clinton, the cast of Hamilton, Alec Baldwin and Saturday Night Live, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He has called Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer a “clown.” Since praising Hillary Clinton, he has dismissed her as weak and clueless. Some Trump supporters say their leader is no less bipartisan than any other victorious presidential candidate — especially Obama. Upon taking office, Jackson says, “he went off so far, so

fast to the left. He passed Obamacare with no Republican support.” Others would just as soon Trump hit Democrats with an olive branch as offer them one. His nine-state post-election victory tour was marked by cries, familiar from the campaign against Clinton, of “Lock her up!” When Trump supporters encounter these political divisions in their own lives, however, they tend to deal with them more sensitively. Fixler says he gets along with his Clinton-voter daughter by not talking politics. Jackson keeps the peace with his motherin-law by agreeing to disagree. Lora Hubbel of Vermillion, S.D., jokingly told her daughter she didn’t want to know how she voted, because if she knew she’d voted for Clinton, she’d have to rewrite her will. So campaign passions remain hot. Although Gene Dunn calls for finding common ground, he also says Trump, immediately after taking office, should sit at a table on the Capitol podium and revoke the Affordable Care Act and some executive orders. His rationale: “Obama openly mocked Trump and his candidacy. What better way for Trump to exact political revenge than to unexpectedly humiliate him in front of the world with billions watching on TV?” Healing may be a long time coming.

For President-elect Donald Trump, political healing has been a sometime vocation.

TRUMP THE UNITER Victory speech, Nov. 9: “To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. ... I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans. ... For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.” Thanksgiving message: “It is my prayer that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by a shared purpose and very, very common resolve. … We have just finished a long and bruising political campaign. Emotions are raw, and tensions just don’t heal overnight. But we have before us the chance now to make history together, to bring real change to Washington, real safety to our cities and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. … But to succeed we must enlist the effort of our entire nation. … I am asking you to join me in this effort. It is time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens. Because when America is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach, and I mean absolutely nothing.”

TRUMP THE DIVIDER Twitter, Nov. 27: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” Twitter, Jan. 5: “The Democrats, led by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is and what a mess they are in.”

NIGERIAN JET ‘MISFIRED,’ KILLING DOZENS OF REFUGEES

Boko Haram was target, a day after suicide attack John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

A Nigerian fighter jet battling Boko Haram militants “misfired” and bombed a refugee camp Tuesday, killing scores of people, authorities said. The attack devastated a camp that included personnel from Doctors Without Borders and the International Red Cross in Kala Balge in the embattled Borno state in northeast Nigeria. Aid workers were among the casualties, the military said.

Doctors Without Borders, which provided assistance after the attack, said it counted at least 52 dead and 120 wounded. “This large-scale attack on vulnerable people who have already fled from extreme violence is shocking and unacceptable,” said Jean-Clément Cabrol, the group’s director of operations. “The safety of civilians must be respected.” The Associated Press, citing a Borno state official who spoke on condition of anonymity, put the death toll at more than 100. Cabrol called on all parties in the conflict to ensure safe passage of medical personnel via air and roads. Borno Gov. Kashim Shettima ordered all hospitals and health agencies to stand by to provide emergency medical response to victims. The jet strike came one day after Boko Haram claimed respon-

sibility for a suicide bombing at a university in Borno that killed a professor and a child and wounded more than a dozen people. Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor told Nigerian media the military received a report about a gathering of Boko Haram terrorists in the area before launching the strike. “I coordinated and I directed that the air component of the operation should go and address the problem,” Irabor said. “Unfortunately, the strike was conducted, but it turned out that other civilians were somewhere around the area, and they were affected.” Soldiers and Nigerians working for Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee of the Red Cross also were “affected,” Irabor said. The Red Cross said at least six of its personnel were killed and 13 wounded.

“We are coordinating medical emergency efforts with relevant authorities and other aid actors #Nigeria,” the group tweeted. Boko Haram, which means “Western Education Is Forbidden,” was founded two decades ago, declaring solidarity with alQaeda in 2010 and with the Islamic State in 2015. The group made international headlines in 2014 when it kidnapped nearly 300 female students from the Borno town of Chibok. Most of the girls remain missing. Last month, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said his forces had crushed the extremist group and driven them out of their forest encampment. That drew scorn from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who posted a video on YouTube. “I am here, well and alive,” he said. “The battle is just beginning.”

Germany’s highest court on Tuesday rejected a bid to outlaw a far-right neo-Nazi party, ruling it did not pose a serious enough threat to the nation’s democratic system. “There is currently a lack of concrete evidence to make it seem likely that (the party’s) actions will lead to success, which is why the court has unanimously rejected the motion as groundless,” the Federal Constitutional Court said in its verdict. Lawmakers from the upper house of the German parliament, the Bundesrat, had filed suit against the National Democratic Party (NPD), arguing that “its racist, anti-Semitic program” violated Germany’s constitution and threatened democratic order. The court disagreed, saying while the NPD’s views that an ethnically defined, authoritarian system of government violated Germany’s constitution, the party lacks the means to realistically achieve its goals. — Patrick Costello ORLANDO POLICE: ACCUSED POLICE KILLER CAPTURED

WASHINGTON Stepping before a U.S. Senate committee for the first time as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to head the U.S. Department of Education, Betsy DeVos of Michigan on Tuesday addressed her advocacy of school choice and vouchers head-on, saying the nation needs to shift from “what the system thinks is best for kids to what moms and dads want, expect and deserve.” In an opening statement to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, DeVos, a former state Republican chairman and a GOP donor who along with her family has given millions to Republican candidates and causes over the years, credited her mother — a public school teacher — with instilling a lifelong interest in education but said families must be given alternatives to failing schools. “The vast majority of students in this country will continue to attend public schools,” DeVos said in prepared remarks for the committee released before the hearing began at 5 p.m. “If confirmed, I will be a strong advocate for great public schools. But if a school is troubled, or unsafe, or not a good fit for a child … we should support a parent’s right to enroll their child in a high quality alternative.” DeVos’ confirmation hearing came in a rare evening session for the committee a week after it initially had been scheduled and three days before Trump’s inauguration at the U.S. Capitol. Democrats, teachers’ unions and others have loudly denounced DeVos’ nomination, arguing that her vocal support of vouchers and school choice programs could undermine public schools. “Betsy DeVos is a billionaire who has spent her career & fortune rigging the system to priva-

Betsy DeVos, Donald Trump’s pick for Education secretary, has raised millions for Republican candidates and causes.

tize and defund public ed,” Randi Weingarten, head of the 1.6-million-member American Federation of Teachers union in a tweet earlier Tuesday. In her statement to the committee, DeVos also said she believes that changes in higher education may be called for as well, saying, “For too long, a college degree has been pushed as the only avenue for a better life.” “The old and expensive brickmortar-and-ivy model is not the only one that will lead to a prosperous future,” she said. “Craftsmanship is not a fallback — but a noble pursuit.” She was introduced to the committee by former senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Before that, the committee’s chairman, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., opened the hearing with

a strong endorsement, saying, “Betsy DeVos in my opinion is on our children’s side … I believe she’s in the mainstream of public opinion and her critics are not.” He went onto say she has fought to help low-income parents have choice in education options and that 73% of Americans support school choice. Alexander said the committee could vote on DeVos’ nomination as early as next Tuesday, after which it would be sent to the floor of the Senate for final confirmation. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the committee, complained that the hearing should have been delayed until the Office of Government Ethics sent a letter on DeVos and any agreements she will make to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. “Leading this agency is a big job, an important job,” said Murray, adding that DeVos has complicated financial relationships and should release tax returns, though it is not required of nominees. “You need to make it clear how you will avoid conflicts of interest.” The daughter of a west Michigan auto supplier and the wife of Amway heir and former head Dick DeVos, Betsy DeVos, if confirmed, as widely expected by the Republican-led Senate, will take over an agency with a $200 billion-a-year budget which oversees education programing and federal funding for low-income and special needs students, and has been at times targeted by Republicans for elimination. DeVos — who with her husband also has spent more than $100 million in philanthropic pursuits — told committee members that schools in the U.S. are “blessed beyond measure with educators who pour themselves into students.” But she also praised educators outside the public sphere. While Democrats have little chance of blocking DeVos’ nomination, they were expected to put up strong resistance in the hearing, highlighting her lack of government experience.

But don’t let market volatility distract you from your long-term investment plan. Successful investors know major stock market wealth is built over time.

how much risk you can tolerate when the market is falling and tests your resolve. Most brokers, financial advisers and mutual fund companies offer surveys that help you determine your taste for risk. Take one and stick with it. Understanding how much volatility you can handle in your portfolio — during good times and bad — is essential to allowing you to hang with the stock market no matter what it hands you in the short term. That’s not to say risk appetite never changes. Big life changes — such as a marriage, new job, retirement or birth of a child — can boost or decrease how much risk you can handle. But don’t let the market’s ups and downs dictate your plan.

Oculus cost $3B, not $2B, Zuckerberg says in trial Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

When Palmer Luckey sold his 2-year-old virtual reality headset company Oculus Rift to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion, the tech world gasped. Gasp again: The price actually was $3 billion. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg coughed up the price discrepancy Tuesday during a Texas courtroom deposition, according SAN FRANCISCO

to on-site reports and tweets from The New York Times, Gizmodo and others. The extra billion went to cover retention bonuses ($700 million) and other incentives ($300 million). Zuckerberg bought Oculus, which then-19-year-old Luckey launched on Kickstarter in 2012. Also in court were Luckey and Brendan Iribe, Oculus’ former CEO who stepped down in December to run a PC-focused VR division within the company. Zuckerberg is in a Dallas courtroom to defend his company

against accusations by ZeniMax Media, owner of gamedeveloper Id Software, of “misappropriation of our Virtual Reality USA TODAY (VR) intellectuFacebook al property,” acCEO Mark cording to a Zuckerberg company statement. “That evidence includes the theft of trade secrets and highly confidential information, including computer

code.” The lawsuit stems from the fact that in April 2012, ZemiMax engineer and VR pioneer John Carmack, who left Id Software in 2013 to join Oculus, was given permission by ZeniMax to help refine Luckey’s collegiate VR experiment using ZeniMax’s intellectual property. ZeniMax says it had Luckey sign a non-disclosure agreement as the two companies continued to collaborate. ZeniMax officials, including Carmack, then unveiled their VR tech at the E3 show in Los Angeles in June 2012, featur-

ing a heavily modified version of Luckey’s Oculus Rift goggles. Buoyed by the reaction at E3, Luckey sought to commercialize his product. But, ZeniMax contends in its lawsuit, “throughout 2012, Oculus and Luckey lacked the necessary expertise ... to create a viable virtual reality headset. In the months following E3, Oculus and Luckey sought that expertise and know-how from ZeniMax. Without it, there would not have been a viable Rift product.” ZeniMax did not respond to a request for comment.

Dear Annie: Recently, I copied an article and reposted it on Facebook. The article dealt with a woman who has handicapped license plates. She does not appear to be physically handicapped, although she is. Another woman had approached her in a parking lot and harassed her for using the handicapped parking spot. The gist of the article was to not pass judgment on people. When I posted it, I added a disclaimer in the comments area to let people know that I wasn’t the author. I also commented that my husband has a handicapped placard but does not look handicapped and that if someone did approach us negatively, I would be ticked.

But that is not a long-term realworld solution. Because her com-

Navy SEAL drama smart, intense Walton Goggins returns to form. He took a flier in HBO’s goofy comedy ‘‘Vice Principals.’’ Now he returns to the kind of intense, morally compromised character he played on ‘‘Justified’’ and ‘‘The Shield.’’ He’s part of the ensemble cast of ‘‘Six’’ (9 p.m., History, TV-MA), an eight-episode series that follows members of Navy SEAL Team Six. Not unlike ‘‘Homeland,’’ we see these elite soldiers in deadly action and back at home, negotiating ‘‘normal’’ life while being on call for some of the most dangerous missions imaginable. Most of the first half-hour of ‘‘Six’’ involves a nail-biting, minute-by-minute rescue of a wounded soldier pinned down by snipers and, later, a sweep of an Afghan village in search of a terrorist leader. It’s almost a relief when we come up for air in a civilian setting. Much of the pilot introduces the team and explores their interdependence and loyalty. Goggins plays the team leader, ‘‘Rip’’ Taggart. Ricky ‘‘Buddha’’ Ortiz (Juan Pablo Raba, ‘‘Narcos’’) is their eldest member, a man unsure how he’s going to pay for his teenage daughter’s education. There’s also a devout and happily married man, a ‘‘player’’ and a rookie, subject to hazing and pranks. While ‘‘Six’’ is based on stories from real SEAL units, it also lifts from classic action thrillers and Westerns. Goggins’ Rip is clearly inspired by John Wayne’s character, Ethan, from ‘‘The Searchers.’’ He calls a suspect a ‘‘savage,’’ kills an unarmed man and even threatens to take a scalp. Not to give too much away, his behavior precipitates his departure from the SEALs and his enlistment as a mercenary for an oil company. But years later, when Rip is taken hostage by Boko Haram in Nigeria, his old buddies are assigned to his rescue. ‘‘Six’’ will clearly appeal to fans of the action genre. And it’s a perfect fit with History’s ‘‘Vikings.’’ Both lean on history, distant and immediately contemporary. But whether based on the Norse sagas or blog entries from special ops, these are essentially Westerns with stories smart enough to allow some gray areas to cloud the distinctions between good and bad, black and white, cowboys and Indians.

Baldwin City district to consider phasing in MacBooks By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The district’s annual purchase of new computers led the Baldwin City school board Tuesday to consider phasing in laptops for all high school students. The board approved at the meeting a $124,500 computer purchase that will include 48 MacBook Air laptops for the high school, 40 of the MacBooks for the Baldwin Elementary School Intermediate Center, four more of the laptops for district repair and replacement, 24 iMac desktops for the junior high school computer lab and 16 of the desktops for the high

school journalism class. Superintendent Paul Dorathy said the board might want to consider purchasing MacBooks for all high school students to avoid the annual desktop computer purchases. The board could make the purchase affordable by phasing in the laptops one class at a time, he said. Since the 2013-2014 school year, the district has provided all its high school students with iPads. Kay Hartzell, district technology specialist, said the MacBooks were twice as expensive as the iPads, but added the district would get discounts on the laptops that weren’t available on the tablets. It was agreed, however, that

a number of issues had to be resolved before the district would move forward with the proposed purchase. Those include the value the MacBooks would retain to the district after four years of student use, their durability, the cost-savings from avoiding annual computer purchases and how they would integrate with the high school’s academic use. The board also agreed to have the district switch to a new online enrollment system, which would replace the software program the now defunct local technology company Reflective Group developed. The new system would not be a single program but a package

House member pursuing bill on transgender students Topeka (ap) — A conservative Kansas House member says he’s drafting a bill to require transgender students in public schools to use bathrooms associated with their genders at birth. Republican Rep. John Whitmer of Wichita said Tuesday his bill also would impose the same policy for locker rooms and accommodations for students on overnight trips. Whitmer said he plans to introduce the measure soon. He said it will not apply to private schools or higher education, and it won’t allow people to sue for damages if a school violates the policy. He and other supporters of such a policy believe it would protect students and their privacy. But LGBT-rights advocate Tom Witt says transgender students shouldn’t be singled out because it will make them targets for bullying.

Court: Ex-employees must pay Kansas prosecutor’s office Topeka (AP) — Two former employees who sued the Shawnee County prosecutor’s office claiming they were terminated because of racial or gender discrimination will have to pay court costs in the wake of a jury verdict finding their allegations baseless. A court filing Tuesday formally dismissed the civil lawsuit that Lisa Anne Moore, of Lawrence, and Krystal Boxum-Debolt, of Rancho Rio, had brought against the Shawnee County district attorney’s office. It awarded District Attorney Mike Kagay costs for the lawsuit. Jurors on Friday found no discrimination occurred. The lawsuit alleged former Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor created a hostile work environment and fired the women victim-witness specialists in 2010 in retaliation for their complaints. Taylor testified last week that he treated them fairly. He didn’t run for re-election in November.

The board gave its blessing for staff to move forward with the new online package. However, board members still need to decide how they want the district to handle a 3.49 percent transaction charge that the package adds to fees paid online. Dorathy said the board could decide to absorb that charge, pass it on to parents or split the costs.

Senate confirms 3 appointments Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate has confirmed Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s appointments of three Cabinet secretaries. The votes Tuesday evening mean Richard Carlson can continue serving as transportation secretary; Tim Keck, as secretary for aging and disability services, and Joseph Norwood as corrections secretary. Each began serving last year as top administrator of their departments and replaced secretaries who had resigned or retired. The votes on Keck and Norwood were 40-0 in the GOP-controlled Senate. But Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka protested Carlson’s appointment because Carlson voted as a Kansas House member against 2010 legislation creating a 10-year transportation program. Carlson also supported massive income tax cuts and Hensley said those cuts led the state to raid highway funds to balance its budget. The vote on Carlson was 32-6.

Although the system would be a bit more complicated than the former signal program, parents would be able to use it without too much trouble, they said. There are single online enrollment programs available, but they aren’t compatible with the district’s PowerSchool programs with which teachers, students and parents communicate, Dorathy said. The district could switch to one of PowerSchool’s competitors that have online

Kansas road win came at right time By Matt Tait

KANSAS BASKETBALL

SLICK VICK

mtait@ljworld.com

A lot has been made this season about the lack of true road tests thrown at the Kansas men’s basketball team. From opening the season on neutral floors in Honolulu and New York City to three games at nearby Sprint Center and catching Big 12 foes TCU and Oklahoma over winter break, with many of each school’s students still home for the holidays, Kansas entered Monday’s 76-72 victory at alwayschargedup Hilton Self Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, having avoided hostile territory. No longer. The Kansas players and coaches were harassed and jeered by 14,000 fired-up Iowa State fans and this team got its first true taste of playing in an environment so loud that it was difficult to hear the guy standing next to you. For the most part, it was the barrage of boos the Iowa State fan base sent toward the floor that accounted for Monday’s noisiest moments. But each time ISU appeared poised to make a run or found a way to hit a big shot, the sound explosion reached levels unlike any the current Kansas team had heard this season. And Kansas coach Bill Self loved every second of it. “I thought we would enjoy it,” Self said of competing in a venue many believe to be the Big 12’s second-most difficult place to play. “I think our guys like this. Doesn’t mean you’re always gonna play well and it’s much harder to win in an atmosphere like this. We haven’t been flat, but we haven’t been as geekedup to play in some other buildings. We get pretty spoiled with the building we play in, and our guys really enjoy a building like this.” Self and the Jayhawks, who had not won in Ames since the 2013-14 season, were and always have been complimentary of the challenge of playing the Cyclones in their home arena and remained such after emerging victorious in Monday’s battle. “It’s always tough,” said senior forward Landen Lucas, recalling last year’s loss in which KU led by seven at halftime and lost by 13. “It seems like no matter what, they’re gonna go on runs and they’re gonna make it a close game and you’re gonna have to fight to get a win. We did that tonight ... We should be very proud of coming in here and getting a win. The new guys that don’t really understand it as much, it’s tough. And that’s a big road win in the Big 12.” Added Self: “I think (winning in Ames is) important regardless of what we have coming up. This is gonna be one of the hardest games we play all year. We know that ... Getting out of here with a W is pretty important in the

KANSAS GUARD LAGERALD VICK DELIVERS A DUNK DURING the Jayhawks’ 76-72 victory over Iowa State on Monday night in Ames, Iowa.

You can’t really learn much about an athlete by listening to him answer questions fired at him from all directions, especially in a group session in which the next query generally has little to do with the previous response. It’s no way to learn anything about Lagerald Vick, a long, lean, quiet, 6-foot-5 sophomore from Memphis, so I requested and was granted a one-on-one interview with him. What follows is a sampling of what he revealed about himself during our half-hour conversation. His father, also named Lagerald Vick, was the first one to take him to the Mount Moriah outdoor basketball courts in Memphis. Vick said he was probably 10 then and started on the pee-wee court. In time, he was introduced to more competitive games that he played alongside his father. Eventually, the younger Lagerald Vick worked his way to the green court, “where the serious games start at about 10 at night.” Vick was the first to take his younger brother, Bo, to the Mount Moriah courts. He said he’s not exactly sure of Bo’s age. “I have too many brothers and sisters (to keep track of their ages),” he said. How many? “I don’t know,” he said. “I

FSHS boys bowling wins opening meet By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys bowling team grew accustomed to the old oil on the lanes of Royal Crest lanes in practices leading up to its season. But in the Free

State quad on Tuesday afternoon, the Firebirds were forced to adjust on the fly to the new oil on the lanes. Senior Alex Jimenez could tell his teammates were flustered and searching for answers after a rough first game, and he

took it upon himself to lift the team spirit. “Our energy was low so I wanted to spark something,” Jimenez said. “The first game wasn’t the greatest, but I was really focused and put my mind to it the next two (games).”

The rest of the team followed, and Free State topped Washburn Rural by 76 pins — the only two boys teams in the quad. The Firebirds’ best game was the last one, where they posted an 883, which

Topeka — The depth of the Lawrence High girls basketball team was on full display during the Lions’ 6326 win over Topeka West on Tuesday. Eleven different Lions scored, as they jolted the Chargers early and often to improve to 7-2 on the season.

“That’s what we wanted before the game started,” said Lawrence High sophomore Olivia Lemus of the balanced scoring effort. “We said that we wanted everyone to get touches and everyone to put up shots. People were sinking them, so it was really good.” Lemus had the hot hand early, as she scored all 11 of her points before the break. The 5-foot-3 senior knocked

down four of her eight shots from the field, and scored the first five points of the second quarter. “I felt my shot tonight, and I felt like I was getting it back so it was really good,” Lemus said. Lemus and junior E’lease Stafford led the way for the Lions with 11 points apiece, and sophomore Chisom

Steroids cloud hall voting EAST

New York (ap) — The cloud of steroids hovers above Hall of Fame voting, much as it shrouded baseball in the 1990s and early 2000s. Tim Raines, in his 10th and final year of eligibility, appears likely to gain election along with Jeff Bagwell when the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voting is announced tonight. Ivan Rodriguez, eligible for the first time, and Trevor Hoffman also could make it. But along with focusing on the electees, many will study the vote totals of tainted stars Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Bonds, a seven-time MVP who holds the season and career home run records, received 36.2 percent in his initial appearance, in 2013, and 44.3 percent last year. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, has risen from 37.6 percent in 2013 to 45.2 percent last year. This year, Bonds was on 63.2 percent of the 234 ballots obtained by Ryan Thibodaux and posted on his Hall of Fame vote-tracker, and Clemens was on 62.4 percent. That is just over half the expected total, so both project likely to fall short of the 75 percent needed. But they are gaining momentum. Peter Gammons of the MLB Network who joined the BBWAA in 1972, voted for Bonds and Clemens for the first time. He differentiates between players suspected of steroids use before the start of

Heat 109, Rockets 103 Miami — Goran Dragic had 21 points and eight assists, Wayne Ellington scored 18 off the bench, and Miami overcame another triple-double from James Harden to beat Houston on Tuesday night. Dion Waiters scored 17, Tyler Johnson had 16 and James Johnson added 15 for the Heat. Hassan Whiteside finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Harden had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for the Rockets (32-12), his 13th tripledouble of the season. He shot 12 for 30 from the field and got his triple-double with an assist to Montrezl Harrell with 12.6 seconds left, an uncontested dunk with the Heat simply waiting for the clock to run out. Harrell had 13 points for the Rockets, who got 12 from Patrick Beverley. There were 19 ties and 15 lead changes in a game that was back-and-forth for 42 minutes, before the Heat finally took control. An 8-0 run midway through the fourth quarter put Miami up for good, and Dragic found Ellington for a corner 3 with 1:41 left to give Miami an 11-point lead — the largest either team had to that point. The Rockets turned it over on their next possession, James Johnson got a runout dunk and the Heat (12-30) soon finished off the win. Spurs 122, Timberwolves 114 San Antonio — Kawhi Leonard had 34 points and San Antonio overcame a strong start

Coming off a career-high 38 on Saturday against Phoenix in Mexico City, Leonard was 12 for 17 from the field.

Luinstra providing lift for Firebirds By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Free State boys basketball coach Sam Stroh watched the Firebirds play throughout the summer, he envisioned Garrett Luinstra becoming the go-to scorer. This was a player that scored 11 points in 13 games last season. Luinstra was more of a passfirst, focus-on-defense point guard during his limited time on the court. But since winter break, Luinstra has emerged as one of the top scorers in the Sunflower League. In three games following winter

break, Luinstra is averaging 18.7 points. “Getting off the bus, he’s not g o i n g to intimidate anyone,” S t r o h said. “But when the ball gets tipped up, Luinstra he knows how to play.” The 6-foot-1 junior Luinstra had plenty of games where he lit up the scoreboard at the juniorvarsity level and below. Luinstra started the year battling

mononucleosis and a sprained ankle, which kept him out of two of the team’s first three games and brought him along slowly. But as he’s progressed to full health, he’s unleashed 3-pointers from seemingly different zip codes. Plus he features a lethal step-back 3-pointer, which creates space from the tightest defenders. He admitted he’s just starting fitting into the offense. Similar to his step-back threes, Luinstra knows how to make pull-up jumpers and everything in between. He has a knack for earning trips to

the free-throw line. Simply, he’s a nightmare for opposing defenders. And none of that is discussing his strong passes on drives down the lane or defense where he uses his speed and length to interrupt passing lanes. “He’s probably one of the better shooters in our program,” Stroh said. “But he can handle it. He can get to the rim. He’s a good free-throw shooter. He’s crafty.” One of Luinstra’s strongest moments came in Free State’s debut following winter break. He scored 14 points in the final two minutes of the

first half. Opposing players knew he was going to take shots after he started heating up and they were helpless trying to slow him down. “I’m used to that in JV but never really on varsity,” Luinstra said. “My teammates just keep helping me get used to the varsity level.” Heading into tournament week, it won’t get any easier for Luinstra and the Firebirds (5-2, ranked No. 9 in Class 6A). In the first round of the Saints Classic at St. Thomas Aquinas, Free State will play Washburn Rural at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. Looming in the

bracket are ranked foes Blue Valley, Barstow and Aquinas. Stroh knows defenses will start to focus more on Luinstra, which makes it even more important for some of his teammates to pick up some more scoring. But Luinstra, who grew up splitting time between point guard and shooting guard, is more than willing to help his teammates find open shots. “He’s still learning some varsity basketball things in terms of communicating and being a leader, but that’ll come as time moves forward,” Stroh said. “But so far, so good.”

colleges sent him recruiting letters and talked to him. “I don’t know what it CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C was that made me choose basketball,” he said. “The don’t know, don’t know (college) football coachthe number. About 18 es I talked to told me I probably, something like had talent, so I couldn’t that, maybe more. My go wrong either way.” mom has three kids, my I also learned Vick has dad the rest.” a deep appreciation for Bo Vick is a two-sport teammates whose games star, too, his older broth- are more developed than er said, meaning football his. and basketball. Vick on Josh Jackson: Lagerald attended “He’s not a selfish player. Douglass High, came off High IQ. Just a good the bench as a freshman teammate, on and off the for the basketball team court.” and developed into a star Vick on Frank Mason after that. He also played III: “He’s just a dog, for quarterback and a little real. Just a good dude on receiver for two seasons and off the court. Looks before concentrating on after everybody. He’s basketball. He said he ran always calling, checking cross country in the fall on me. Like for instance, and during his freshman if I told him I’m going to season ran the hurdles the mall or something he for the track team, but calls and sees if I’m there, gave that up because it if I made it. I respect him conflicted with AAU bas- a lot. He’s definitely like ketball practice times. a big brother.” Vick said football Vick on Devonté coaches from mid-major Graham: “He’s kind of

the same way, just a big brother, too.” Vick on Landen Lucas: “He’s a leader, on and off the court, especially on the court. He’s always talking to me, telling me to do the little things and the game will fall in my hands.” As for what it’s like playing for Bill Self, Vick said, “Love it. Learned a lot since I’ve been here. Great guy. Definitely a great guy. I respect everything he’s done for me. I sat out a whole year last year. Last year was a learning year for me, just getting in those couple of minutes at the end of the game. I could still see that he wanted me to be a good player, even though there were just 30 seconds on the clock. Definitely means a lot to me.” Vick played just 91 minutes last season, but said he “learned a lot, (is) still learning.” To get out of Ames, Iowa with a victory,

Kansas needed everybody to be solid because nobody was spectacular in Monday night’s 76-72 victory. Vick was rock solid, pitching in with two of the team’s three dunks, eight points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocked shots and a steal. He said his mother and “probably a couple of my brothers,” might come in for Saturday’s game against a struggling Texas team that hasn’t figured out how to translate its impressive quickness and leaping ability into winning basketball. Vick has plenty of both qualities, plus a jumper soft enough that he’s shooting .408 from 3-point range. As is Texas, Vick still is figuring out how to put it all together and with each performance such as Monday’s against Iowa State, he makes it a little easier to remain bullish on his future.

Lions

“I think that’s the key to a really tough team. You don’t want to be a onedimensional team that somebody can target,” Lawrence High coach Jeff Dickson said. “If they take E’lease out of the picture, she is still going to play defense, get rebounds and pass the ball. And we have other kids who can step up and put the basketball in the hole, so it’s good that we can weather those kinds of situations to give the rest of the

kids confidence that they can contribute to our offense.” A lot of Lawrence High’s offense was generated by its stifling defense. The Chargers had issues with handling the Lions’ press, and went on to commit 19 turnovers. “I think it was being aggressive and making sure we had one person help, and knowing where everyone else was,” Lawrence High senior Skylar Drum said.

However, the surprise of the day came from Schrader, who bowled a 674 series, which broke his personal record by over 100 pins. Jimenez even went as far as thanking Schrader, who placed third overall, for the Firebirds’ first place finish. Free State coach Burton Gepford said that Schrader’s improved approach and his slower bowling speed are two reasons for his improvement. “Last year at this time

his first varsity match was a 403,” Gepford said. “That’s a great jump.” The FSHS girls bowling team placed second and finished 325 pins behind Washburn Rural. The Firebirds were led by freshman Nicole Miele, who bowled a 596 series and placed third overall. Junior Morgan Wright placed seventh with a 483 series, and sophomore Sydney Jordan placed eighth with a 453 series. “Today’s scores were our goal,” Gepford said.

“We reached our goal today, and if we can keep those scores up we’ll have a successful season.” Unlike the boys, the girls actually had their best round of the day in the opening game. Both Miele and Jordan posted scores above 200, and Wright bowled a 165 as the team bowled a 741. “I’m very proud of the team for coming out and getting first and second place,” Gepford said. “It was a great start to the season.”

in the big picture, for sure.” The timing of the Jayhawks’ Big Monday, eardrum challenge at Iowa State could not have been better. KU’s next three road games — three of the next six games on the schedule — come in environments that could

come close to matching or surpassing the experience of playing in Ames on Monday night. Kansas plays at No. 7 West Virginia next Tuesday, travels to No. 5 Kentucky Jan. 28 and will head west to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State on Feb. 6. “I think it was very important,” Lucas said of having success in enemy territory.

Seabury girls fall to McLouth

Free State’s boys swimming and diving team won 10 of the 12 events and rolled to a first-place finish at the Blue Valley Southwest triangular Tuesday. Evan Eskilson (200 free, 100 back), Evan Yoder (200 individual medley, 100 breast), Jordan Portela (100 fly, 500 freestyle) and Chad Bourdon (diving) all won events, along with all three relays.

The Bishop Seabury High girls basketball team played what coach Nick Taylor called “a really good half” that ended in a tie, but the Seahawks couldn’t match sustain it for the next two quarters Tuesday night and lost to McLouth, 61-27, in the McLouth Invitational. Celia Taylor-Pucket (10 points), Kayleigh Boos (eight) and Emily Heinz (seven) had big scoring nights for Seabury in a game that was tied, 10-10, at the end of the first quarter and 21-21 at halftime. McLouth quickly took control in the second half and never let go, winning the third quarter by a 24-2 margin. “The first half was a really good half, tight game, back and forth and we just ran out of gas and couldn’t take care of the basketball,” Taylor said. “That’s what killed us tonight.”

LHS bowlers finish second Lawrence High’s boys and girls bowling teams finished second at the Topeka Seaman tournament Tuesday at Westridge Lanes. The LHS girls were 32 pins behind champion Shawnee Heights. Holly Evans placed second while Diamonique Vann (sixth), Morgan Daniels (seventh) and Renea McNemee (eighth) finished inside of the top 10.

KU-WEST VIRGINIA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Series: West Virginia leads 6-4

Treacherous schedule Kansas’ meeting with West Virginia will mark the sixth time in the last seven games its played a ranked opponent. The Jayhawks have lost 16 games in a row against ranked teams, and 13 of those came by double-digits. They will have to break that streak in order for coach Brandon Schneider to earn his first Big 12 win. Three-point shooting After starting Big 12 play ice cold from beyond the arc, the Jayhawks have found their stroke as of late, shooting 36 percent from 3-point

range in the last two games. Kansas still ranks last in the Big 12 in 3-point percentage (29 percent), but that’s a bit misleading because it ranks second in attempts and third in makes per game in the conference. Since the Jayhawks have shot just 34 percent from the field this season, the 3-pointer has been their most efficient source of offense.

15-point outing against Baylor, who is ranks number one in the nation in opponent field goal percentage. Washington leads the league in scoring during conference play with 18.8 points per game.

TEXAS GUARD KERWIN ROACH JR. (12) GOES UP FOR A BASKET after getting past Baylor’s Johnathan Motley on Tuesday night in Waco, Texas.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Baylor trips Texas The Associated Press

No. 6 Baylor 74, Texas 64 Waco, Texas — Johnathan Motley really couldn’t explain that feeling he had when he kept scoring points and grabbing rebounds. Baylor’s big forward just knew he wanted to play better than his last couple of games. “You don’t really remember what you do, you’re just kind of out there going through it,” Motley said after career highs of 32 points and 20 rebounds in No. 6 Baylor’s 74-64 victory over Texas on Tuesday night. “I can’t really tell you the moves I made. I just forgot. It just goes away.” Coach Scott Drew then smiled and said he liked that attitude of focusing on the next play. “It’s just a crazy rhythm you get as a basketball player,” Motley added. “You can’t really explain it.” Nuni Omot, the junior college transfer playing in only his eighth game for Baylor (17-1, 5-1 Big 12), had a season-high 14 points. He scored seven in the half-ending 16-4 run that put the Bears ahead to stay. Texas (7-11, 1-5) led by as many as eight points early, and was still up by five before Omot’s dunk with just more than five minutes left in the first half. Al Freeman, who finished with 10 points, and Jake Lindsey followed with consecutive 3-pointers to put Baylor ahead for the first time. Jarrett Allen had 17 points for the Longhorns, while Andrew Jones had 15. Shaquille Cleare scored 14 before his fifth foul. About halfway through the second half, the 6-foot-10 Motley had a one-handed putback dunk, though he got a technical foul after an elbow into a defender following the play. With about five minutes left, Motley rebounded his own miss and made a tough jumper over the defender. “The thing that he keeps getting better with

is his motor, and that’s how he got a lot of those rebounds,” Texas coach Shaka Smart said. In Baylor’s two road games last week, Motley was 6-of-18 shooting for 15 points and 14 rebounds combined. He fouled out after playing only 19 minutes Saturday at Kansas State. “I wasn’t too happy with myself,” Motley said. “And I tried to do everything I could to be better than I was.” TEXAS (7-11) Allen 7-10 3-4 17, Cleare 6-10 2-2 14, Roach 2-7 4-4 8, E.Davis 3-9 1-2 8, Young 0-4 2-2 2, Banks 0-2 0-0 0, Yancy 0-1 0-0 0, Jones 4-10 6-7 15, Isom 0-0 0-1 0.

No. 5 Kentucky 88, Mississippi St. 81 Starkville, Miss. — De’Aaron Fox scored 21 points, Malik Monk added 14 and Kentucky beat Mississippi State. Kentucky (16-2, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) looked like it would cruise to the win after building a 66-49 lead midway through the second half, but Mississippi State responded with 13 straight points to make things interesting down the stretch. In the end, the Wildcats were too potent offensively. Fox, a 6-foot-3 freshman, had two impressive drives for baskets in the final minutes to thwart a final Mississippi State rally. Mississippi State (12-5, 3-2) was led by freshman Lamar Peters, who scored a career-high 25 points. It was an emotional game that featured four technical fouls — two on each team. Kentucky’s Derek Willis scored all 13 of his points in the first half, stepping out to make three 3-pointers. Fox added 10 points as Kentucky pushed out to a 46-34 halftime lead.
