Audit: Lack of controls by board played role in alleged fraud Just Food funds were used for car, insurance By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw
An audit of the food bank Just Food has determined the nonprofit’s board of directors lacked several key financial controls that likely made it

KCC opens hearings on EPA plan

State committee led by climate change deniers will have final veto power By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock
Topeka — The Kansas Corporation Commission has opened what it calls a “general investigation” docket, and it will soon hold public hearings to determine what the state must do to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan. The KCC’s action is in response We have 190 to a bill passed world leaders during the 2015 getting together legislative session, House Bill 2233, in Paris to that calls on the address this KCC and the Kansas Department of global issue.

But that bill also gives a spe- — Rabbi Moti Rieber, cial legislative Interfaith Power and Light committee — which is headed by two lawmakers who both deny that carbon emissions are a cause of global climate change — veto power over any plan the two agencies adopt. The Clean Power Plan is a set of regulations recently adopted by the Obama administration that calls on states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants by an average of 32 percent over the next 15 years. In Kansas, however, that rule is much stiffer, calling for a 42 percent reduction, due mainly to the fact that Kansas relies more heavily on coal and other fossil fuels for electricity production than most other states. KCC spokesman Samir Arif said the agency plans to announce by Jan. 30 a schedule for holding legislative-style hearings to solicit input for developing a compliance plan. In a carefully worded statement, however, the KCC avoided using the word “compliance,” saying instead that it will examine “re-dispatch options” for Kansas utilities, including the cost of each

HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN, PARENTS AND LAWRENCE RESIDENTS gather below at the intersection of Ninth and Massachusetts streets as Santa Claus is heroically rescued from the roof of Weaver's department store by two Lawrence firefighters in a ladder truck Friday.

he holiday season almost wasn’t this year. Luckily, some Lawrence firefighters were on hand Friday evening at Weaver’s department store, 901 Massachusetts St., to rescue Old St. Nick, who was trapped atop the roof. The annual event was delayed a week by weather, but still a hit. All around the intersection of Ninth and Massachusetts streets, families and friends laughed, sang and joked throughout the evening. Young children in puffy jackets three sizes too large clutched Dixie Cups of hot chocolate to keep their

option and the impact that each option would have on the reliability of the state’s power grid. “This rule will impact the electric industry in a way that has not been seen since rural electrification in the 1930s,” said KCC Commissioner Pat Apple, a former legislator. “It will affect every budget, every business and every utility company in Kansas. I’m pleased that the commission has opened a docket into this matter, so that we can take a closer look into the rule’s implications, as well as to give members of the public a chance to weigh in, on-the-record.” The KCC’s announcement comes at the same time world leaders are meeting in Paris in hopes of negotiating a global strategy to combat climate change. But in Kansas, where a significant number of legislative leaders deny climate change is happening, or that carbon emissions have anything to do with it, the political mood is much different.

needs to have contact with those outside professionals.” Lawrence attorney Dan Watkins, who is representing Just Food, said a large part of the issue is the board believed an outside accounting firm was working for Just Food, but Farmer allegedly fired the firm without the board’s knowledge and then presented monthly financial statements that made it appear the firm was still in place. The end result is a finance committee of the board now has regular, personal contact with McFadden’s office. “I have biweekly contact with the accountant now,” Katz said. Among the key findings from the audit or from information disclosed by Just Food representatives Friday: l The board lacked a system of checks and balances on cash management. Farmer was allowed to receive, deposit and record all cash receipts. He also was allowed to sign checks up
In addition to the climate change skeptics in the Legislature, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has joined with 23 other states in a federal lawsuit challenging the EPA’s authority to implement such a rule. “This new rule appears to have less to do with ‘clean power’ than with centralized economic planning in the energy sector of our economy,” Schmidt said in a statement in August, when the states initially tried, unsuccessfully, to delay the new rules. But environmental groups in Kansas say the state’s political leaders are moving in the wrong direction. “We have 190 world leaders getting together in Paris to address this global issue. Meanwhile we have politicians here who are fighting it,” said Rabbi Moti Rieber, director of Interfaith Power and Light, an environmental lobby group in Kansas. “They’re on the wrong side of history, and I think history will look at them very poorly.”

to $1,000. The board has now established a separate post office box for all cash payments to be sent to the organization. Only designated board members can access the post office box, and the cash is taken to the accounting firm for processing. l Bank statement reconciliations were not being prepared by the organization, and therefore weren’t being reviewed by board members. The board has adopted the procedure that monthly bank reconciliations will be performed by the accounting firm, and the finance committee of the board will review the documents. l Receipts for multiple expenditures were not present. The board has adopted a policy for record keeping of receipts and other materials. l Controls for monitoring electronic payments were not in place. Just Food representatives Friday estimated more than 90 percent of the alleged fraud took place through electronic payments rather than traditional checks. Watkins said Farmer was improperly making electronic transfers directly into his personal bank account,

fingers warm while their parents and guardians stamped their feet and rubbed their hands to keep the blood flowing. Ric Averill, of the Lawrence Arts Center, led the crowd by rhyming, singing songs, introducing entertainers, and answering his phone every so often to help guide Santa Claus into town. A Lawrence High School choir crooned “Carol of the Bells” and several international holiday tunes to the crowd shortly before cast members from “The Kansas Nutcracker” took the stage offering a glimpse of the Kansas- and holidaythemed act. Before long, Averill shouted to the crowd that Santa was getting closer — he simply took a wrong turn at Ottawa. Parents and guardians knelt so their children could climb onto their shoulders for a better view of the show. Averill encouraged the masses to sing “Here Comes Santa Claus” together to help guide the sleigh-piloting holiday celebrity on his way to Lawrence. Each year, the annual Santa Rescue is a little different, but it’s always
a spirited holiday event, said attendee Christian Vargas. In fact, Vargas said, during her junior and senior years of high school, she was one of Santa’s elves. As the crowd sang, Vargas clutched the youngest of her three sons, calming him and keeping him warm. Their family had come to see Santa for at least the past seven years, she said. “They like to see the fire trucks,” she laughed. “I have three sons, so it’s trucks and Santa. “(The event) really adds to the spirit of the season,” she added. “It’s

That’s up from about $52,000 previously estimated by the board. Watkins said the board did discover additional alleged acts of fraud including Farmer making car payments, insurance payments and an unauthorized office lease payment with Just Food funds. An exact total won’t be determined until an audit is completed for the 2015 financial year. No criminal charges have been filed against Farmer, but Just Food officials said they are continuing to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. Watkins said
the recently completed audit will be turned over to law enforcement officials. Watkins declined to say what law enforcement agency he is working with, but local law enforcement officials previously have said they are not investigating the matter. It has been presumed that federal law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter, as the alleged activity involves filing of false federal tax returns and several other matters that federal officials would have jurisdiction over. Katz said Just Food is now on firm financial footing, although it is continuing to seek funding from the public and granting agencies. He said the nonprofit has about $90,000 in the bank, which is more than three months of oper-

The circle of light rose to the roof’s edge, and a red arm with a white glove reached out, waving to the crowd. Santa had landed in Lawrence. Slowly and deliberately, LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical’s firefighters aimed their engine’s ladder into the sky, edging their bucket closer to the building’s edge so Santa could climb inside. With children pointing their cold, reddened fingers into the air, firefighters gently brought Santa back to ground level before he took a seat and began asking the youngsters what they’d like as gifts this holiday season. “We’re definitely coming back every year,” Vargas said. “Hopefully my grandchildren will come.”

The third finalist to lead Kansas University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs told an audience Friday that social justice is one of her guiding principles. “Social justice is how I live my life,” said Precious Porras, who has been interim director of the OMA since May. “It is a way of life Porras for me ... it’s not just a job.” Porras was the last of three finalists to give public presentations this week KANSAS on the topic UNIVERSITY “Strategic Leadership at KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs.” About 55 people attended her talk at the Kansas Union. Porras, who said she identifies as biracial, said she was a low-income, first-generation college student of color. Targeted programs — specifically the federal Upward Bound program — and dedicated mentors helped her succeed, Porras said. “It also taught me that I want to give back,” she said. “My goal in life became, ‘I’m going to pay it forward,’ and that’s why I do the work that I do.” Porras got her bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from Northwest Missouri State University and a

Wichita (ap) — A south-central Kansas lawmaker has sent an email to constituents criticizing media coverage of the rights of gay couples in the state’s foster care system. Republican Sen. Forrest Knox, of Altoona, said in the email sent Wednesday the media prioritizes gay rights over the needs of foster children.

Jim Ward search shows traditional nuclear families best meet foster childrens’ needs. “Today, this view is no longer politically correct and is actually received by many with anger. My concern is the children. If the state has custody of children, should we not do the best we can at meeting their needs? There is no ‘right’ of certain people or classes of people to be licensed foster parents,” Knox said. The Kansas Department of Children and Families has repeatedly said it does not discriminate against same-sex couples. Republican Sen. Mary PilcherCook, chairwoman of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, said in an email traditional nuclear families are best for foster children. “It fits with common sense, as we should be able to acknowledge that mothers and fathers interact with children in distinctly different and complementary ways,” PilcherCook said. “Each sex is different in nature and necessary for the optimal development of a child.” Democratic Rep. Jim Ward says the claims Knox has made have been disputed. Ward is seeking an audit to determine whether Kansas is discriminating against same-sex couples. “My argument to Forrest and Mary is they’re still trying to argue the world is flat and the rest of us have moved on,” Ward said.

Program offers SNAP benefit tripling at farmers’ markets By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson
A local program aimed at helping those using government food assistance put fresh, healthy food on their tables is cranking it up a notch. Throughout the year, Douglas County’s Market Match program doubles any money from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, (formerly food stamps) spent at either the Lawrence Farmers’ Market or the Cottin’s Hardware Farmers’ Market, said Market Match coordinator Tresa Carter. For two days this month, however, Market Match will triple SNAP money spent at either the Lawrence Holiday Farmers’ Mar-
ket or the Cottin’s Indoor Winter Market, Carter said. “We have extra match money from our 2015 grants that we fundraised, and we didn’t just want it to sit idle, (so we) decided to give people a little extra money to spend,” she said. “Normally if someone spends $25, Market Match will make it $50, but now if they spend $25, the program will make it $75.” The triple match benefit will be available at Cottin’s, 1832 Massachusetts St., on Thursday and at the Lawrence Holiday Farmers’ Market, 200 McDonald Drive, on Dec. 12, Carter said. At the moment, the farmers’ markets are the only two in the area that accept SNAP, but more
will hopefully follow suit in the future, Carter said. “We want people to support our local growers, and typically at a farmers market you have much higher access to fresh, healthier food versus what you’d find at a grocery store, which tends to be a lot more processed and has traveled more to get there,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to buy local goods grown by local farmers.” Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin’s Hardware Farmers Market, said the response she’s seen to Market Match has been overwhelmingly positive, but she’s sure there are more SNAP users out there who could benefit from the program. “It’s great — I wish there were more people participating in it,”
Cottin said. “We have certain people that come in on a regular basis, and it’s been wonderful for them and their families, but I’m afraid there are more out there that aren’t fully aware of the program or aren’t regular farmers’ market shoppers.” By the end of November, Market Match recorded 323 families or individuals using SNAP at farmers’ markets, Carter said. “We’ve matched a total of almost $17,000, so that means our cumulative impact is around $34,000 to local growers and farmers,” she said. After Dec. 12, Market Match will return to its regular SNAPdoubling program, Carter said. But SNAP recipients need not wait un-
til the summer to see the benefits, because the Cottin’s indoor market runs each Thursday all winter. “Storage crops” are among the most popular items at the winter markets, Cottin said. “Radishes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, butternut squash,” she said. “All things you can keep under your bed or in a closet or wherever. They keep through the winter, that’s why they’re such popular crops.” The Lawrence market will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 12. Cottin’s market is open every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.
Longtime KU police chief set to retire at year’s end Man, 19, Staff Reports
Ralph Oliver, director of the Kansas University Public Safety Office and chief of police, will retire Dec. 31 after nearly 40 years with KU law enforcement, KU announced this week. Assistant Director of Public Safety Chris Keary, who has been with the office since 1982, will serve as interim director beginning Jan. 1. According to KU, a search for Oliver’s permanent successor will begin in the spring.

said what she likes about cooking is the variety. “I think it’s fun because for each dish it’s different to make,” she said. Jasmy, who started cooking when she was 4, has practiced her skills both in her classroom as well as at home. She said she got interested in cooking by watching her older sister and her mom, Sowjanya Seetala, at home, and the first thing she made herself was scrambled eggs. She’s added a lot to her repertoire since then and said currently some of her favorite things to make are macaroons, crepes and lemon meringue pie. As far as the $15,000 the recipe won her, Jasmy said
Oliver is a Kansas City, Kan., native and a veteran of the Coast Guard, according to KU. Prior to beginning work at KU, he was a patrol officer for Rainbow Mental Health Center in Kansas City. Oliver became a police officer at KU Medi- Oliver cal Center's Public Safety Office in 1977. He was named captain of the KU Public Safety Office on the Lawrence campus in 1984 and associate director of

After a pause, she added, and “some for a few toys.” Those plans align well with her goals, as she says she wants to be a chef and also a philanthropist when she grows up. This week’s experience wasn’t Jasmy’s first time being recognized for her cooking. Last year, she visited the White House after her recipe for “Tangy Veggy Springetty” won a contest. Jasmy was one of more than 1,500 children from across the country who submitted an original recipe to the “Healthy Lunchtime Challenge,” a contest that’s part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative, which promotes healthy eating for kids. The video of Jasmy’s winning entry to the Uncle Ben’s contest can be viewed on its website. McReynolds said

Jasmy has always been independent and loved cooking, but the recent attention for her recipes has helped her grow. “She’s a shy little girl that kind of has come out of her shell from these experiences with cooking,” she said.
He also has unified radio and emergency phone systems with the Lawrence-Douglas County Emergency Communications Center and added a full-time emergency management coordinator at KU. “Ralph has been an important leader at KU during a time of immense change in both law-enforcement practices and public expectations,” Diane Goddard, vice provost for administration and finance, said in a news release.

Rewind to April: Another similar incident that comes to mind is that of the fraternity members in a social media video that appeared to mock Muslims. KU was not involved with discipline in that case. In an older case that went all the way to the Kansas Court of Appeals, KU disciplined a student for sexually harassing his exgirlfriend over Twitter. The court ruled that KU did not have jurisdiction to do that, although since the incident KU has updated its code to clarify that it does have off-campus jurisdiction in Title IX cases. l Latest on Halloween
house party: In news of a somewhat related vein, no charges have been filed or arrests made in connection with an altercation involving alleged racial slurs that reportedly occurred at a house party on Halloween night, according to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley, whom I checked in with this week. McKinley said police have identified most of the individuals involved but not all have been located or interviewed yet. “We have conducted numerous interviews related to this incident, and the investigation continues to progress,” he said. “It is still an open, active investigation with detectives assigned to it.”
About 1:40 a.m. Nov. 1, officers responded to a report of an “out of control” house party in the 1300 block of Kentucky Street. Police are investigating the case as a battery and aggravated assault. Black Student Union president Kynnedi Grant said, to the crowd at KU’s Nov. 11 town hall forum on race and earlier that week on her Facebook account, that white men confronted her and some black friends, called them racial slurs, spit on them, put one of them in a “chokehold” and pulled a gun.

first year,” she said — and that they also need counseling about career and graduate school options, plus guidance about how to access financial aid to stay in school through graduation. For the coming two years, Porras’ suggestions included establishing a development and “self care” program for OMA staff, creating a cultural competency coordinator position, increasing the visibility and branding of OMA, collaborating with the Center for Teaching Excellence and Curriculum Review, and enhancing KU’s relationship with Haskell Indian Nations University. Overall, Porras said, she wants to ensure marginalized students know
“you matter.” She emphasized the importance of openly discussing changing demographics, “social inequities,” oppression, privilege and power. The next OMA director will replace Blane Harding, who left KU in May. Finalists Festus AddoYobo, director of Black Programs in the division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at New Mexico State University, and Andre Brown, program director of TRiO Student Support Services at Arizona State University, gave presentations earlier this week. The salary range for the new director will be $83,000 to $133,000, according to provost office
spokeswoman Jill Hummels. The OMA’s total budget is more than $557,000 annually, according to KU’s operating budget for fiscal year 2016. Associate professor of journalism Jerry Crawford is chairman of the OMA director search committee, which he said was formed and began work in August.

master’s degree in counselor education from Emporia State University, according to KU. She expects to complete a doctorate in educational leadership and policy studies from KU in 2016. Porras has been with OMA since 2005, first as a Hawk Link Retention Specialist and most recently — prior to being named interim director — as associate director of diversity education and social justice programs. She has taught multiple academic courses during her time with OMA and has been involved with
various multicultural organizations at KU. Porras described her plan for OMA, if hired as director, as “cultivating equity through inclusive leadership.” She said that in her time with OMA, the office had not had a strategic plan, and she presented her proposal for such a plan Friday. “How can we know where we’re going if we don’t have a map?” she asked. Some highlights included expanding KU’s Hawk Link program for first year students into a two-year program within the next four years. She said students’ academic skills need ongoing work — “We know they don’t get it still after the

arrested in June incident
By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon
A 19-year-old man is being held on $200,000 bond for charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and possession of a gun by a convicted felon for an incident that occurred in June, according to court records. Alex Caprice Sanders, who was arrested Thursday night in Topeka, made his first appearance Friday in Douglas County District Court. A court spokeswoman acknowledged a second man was also allegedly involved and has been in jail for five months. Deshane Keonte Rayton, 21, faces the same charges as Sanders and is also being held on $200,000 bond. The charges stem from a June 30 incident in the 2400 block of Alabama Street, when Sanders and another man “inflicted bodily harm upon” a female, according to documents officially charging the men. The men were allegedly armed with guns and took a cellphone and drugs from the victim, the court record said. Authorities refused to release any other information about the incident. The probable cause affidavits supporting the men’s arrests also were not available. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office declined to release a picture of Sanders, saying “the record requested is not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act.” Sanders has faced legal issues before, according to news stories. In June 2014, he was arrested following two shooting incidents. The first occurred late at night outside Shots, 1008 Massachusetts St., when two groups of people, allegedly rival gang members, fought and one of the individuals was threatened with a gun. After the bar closed, several people went to The Grove apartments, where witnesses reported several gunshots fired and one person was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound. Sanders was arrested in connection with both incidents and charged with aggravated battery, police said. But that charge was dropped when the only witness claimed to have no memory of the events of the case or even discussing the case with police. On Friday, at Sanders’ first appearance in court in front of Douglas County District Court Judge James T. George, Sanders said he was living in Topeka and had a job and asked the judge to reduce his bond. “(The bond) is unreasonable,” Sanders said. “I feel like you are saying I’m guilty before I even have my trial.” The judge said the bond would stand until Sanders’ court appearance next week.

Get educated about ‘kissing bug’ dangers
A
n insect known as the kissing bug is popping up all over social media, and somehow the warnings are a little out of proportion with the amount of risk the insect actually poses. Kissing bugs live in most of the southern half of the United States including Kansas, but they are historically widespread and rarely make their way into homes. Even then, infection from the insects’ bites takes special circumstances and is rare in the U.S. The main reason for concern is a parasite carried by about half of the kissing bug population. Infection by the parasite is known as Chagas disease, and it can cause cardiac, digestive, neurological or mixed alterations. According to the World Health Organization, cardiac alterations affect up to 30 percent of people chronically infected with Chagas disease, and only up to 10 percent develop other or

Kissing bugs may be confused with assassin bugs, wheel bugs and other similar species in Kansas. If you wake up with bites, look for possible sites of infestation or for signs of bedbugs, other insects or spiders that could have caused the bites. Proper identification ensures proper treatment. Chagas disease is nearly 100 percent curable if treated quickly after infection. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for K-State Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

Dear Annie: My wife’s sister is an alcoholic. Now in her early 60s, “Petunia” lost her highpaying job five years ago because of her drinking. She has been depressed and unemployed ever since. She tried three expensive, high-class treatment centers and each time has relapsed within days of leaving. Petunia lives alone and pays someone (we don’t know who) to bring her liquor every day. The rest of the family has given up on her. My wife, however, keeps calling, bringing her groceries and doing whatever else she can to keep Petunia from drinking herself to death. Frankly, it’s costing us a lot of money that I think we should be saving for our own retirements. But more than that, I am concerned that my wife is spending all her time

and energy helping her sister while neglecting our home, our children, our grandchildren and me. I’ve told her that I want her to seek professional advice so she can learn the best way to deal with her alcoholic sister before spending more effort on these futile rescue efforts. She says that won’t help Petunia. My wife is very smart about most things. I know she loves her sis-
William Shatner and time travel William Shatner is in a Christmas movie! Some things, even movies as ridiculous as “Just in Time for Christmas” (7 p.m., Hallmark), cannot be ignored. Eloise Mumford stars as Lindsay Rogers, a perky, girl-nextdoor type, who, in the logic of TV movies, is a philosophy professor just a few years older than her students. They love her for her deep, provocative thoughts about life’s big choices. When not writing her dissertation, she’s deeply in love with her small-town boyfriend, Jason (Michael StahlDavid), a pastry chef and coffee shop owner. On her way to a date with Jason, Lindsay receives a call from the Yale University Press. The editors seem eager to publish her dissertation. They think it can be a best-seller! Yale wants to hire her as a professor! Tenure awaits! Opportunities abound! Of course this big break coincides with a proposal from Jason. Not to give too much away, but after breaking Jason’s heart, Lindsay takes a walk near a harbor. There, she encounters Coachman Nick (William Shatner!), a mystical horse-and-buggy driver who sports a gray goatee not unlike Burl Ives’ snowman in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” He offers pleasant, cryptic advice before magically disappearing, leaving Lindsay stranded — three years in the future. It’s then that she sees what life would have been like had she left town and become a celebrated author. This premieres the same night as NBC’s first re-airing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” (7 p.m.). In fact, a clip from the movie appears in “Just in Time for Christmas.” It’s interesting to compare the themes of the two movies. Made in 1946, after a decade and a half of depression and six years of World War II, “Wonderful” taught us that a life of sacrifice and living for others could still be a rich and rewarding one. “It’s a Wonderful Life” uses a supernatural time warp to show George the virtues of his ways, not unlike Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” which uses the device to show Scrooge the errors of his. “Just in Time for Christmas” shows how our abundance of choices makes us crazy. Along the way, the time-travel fantasy warns Lindsay. Merry Christmas! But at least she got to meet William Shatner. Tonight's other highlights
A storm forces two strangers (Mayim Bialik and Ryan McPartlin) to share a room in the 2015 holiday comedy “The Flight Before Christmas” (7 p.m., Lifetime). What could go wrong?

And it’s also possible that your wife has a small martyr complex and likes being the only one willing to sacrifice for her sister. But taking care of Petunia’s needs while she continues to drink is a form of enabling. If your wife truly wants to “save” her sister, she should accompany Petunia to her next doctor’s appointment and ask about newer medications that have shown some success in treating alcoholism. Then she should look into Al-Anon at al-anon. org. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Living in Dysfunctional Family Land,” who wants

Nation should unite to curb gun access Washington — Was the San Bernardino shooting an act of terrorism or workplace rage? It doesn’t really matter, in terms of the need for better regulation of assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons. The growing evidence that this latest attack was terrorism should galvanize a citizen movement to demand better protection against such mass shootings, whether they’re the work of Muslim extremists, enraged anti-abortion militants or mentally unstable loners. “Enough is enough,” said President Obama after the shooting in Colorado Springs last week. This conviction should only deepen as the investigators try to determine the motivations of the suspected shooters in San Bernardino, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. The attackers certainly intended to terrorize. They were protected by body armor and armed with two AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, two semiautomatic pistols and what police say were more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition. Three pipe bombs were found at the attack site, and 12 more pipe bombs were found at a residence nearby. Were the shooters “terrorists”? News reports focused on the couple’s Pakistani backgrounds, his trip to Saudi Arabia to meet and marry her, and his online contacts with terrorism suspects. The FBI is investigating the case, including the puzzle of why the couple tar-

“
Left or right, blue state or red, Americans ought to agree that Farook and Malik shouldn’t have been able to obtain the types of weapons that killed so many people on Wednesday.”
geted a holiday party at a social services center — not an obvious jihadist magnet. But how did the attackers get all those weapons? That’s an urgent question, no matter what their motivations were. Conservatives who are worried about terrorism and liberals who focus on gun safety should agree that access to such assault weapons is a deadly threat in America. The horrifying events in San Bernardino should be a unifying moment in the gun debate, rather than a polarizing one. Left or right, blue state or red, Americans ought to agree that Farook and Malik shouldn’t have been able to obtain the types of weapons that killed so many people on Wednesday. Regulations that might reduce
the likelihood of another San Bernardino could also contain the violence that killed three people last week at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, and 10 at a community college in Oregon in October, and nine at a church in South Carolina in June, and the still gut-wrenching Connecticut school massacre that killed 28 three years ago. President Obama made the connection between fighting terrorism and gun safety in an interview with CBS News Wednesday night. “For those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can’t get on planes. But those same people who we don’t allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm — and there’s nothing we can do to stop them. That’s a law that needs to be changed.” Politicians need to rethink their reflexive invocations of the Second Amendment, and the idea that the gun lobby is too powerful to challenge. Governors who want to protect their citizens from terrorism should focus less on blocking immigrants from Syria and more on limiting a potential terrorist’s ability to purchase assault weapons and explosives. Congress should think about having a “no-buy” list for semiautomatic rifles that’s equivalent to the no-fly list. State and local legislators should look for ways to screen potential shooters — with new background checks and per-
mit requirements. The Second Amendment may not be an impermeable barrier to gun safety, either. In his recent book on the Constitution, “American Epic,” Garrett Epps, a law professor at the University of Baltimore, dissects the amendment’s puzzling language: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” He argues that James Madison and the other framers were focused largely on assuring the states that they could maintain their own militias even as a federal standing army was created, rather than on individuals’ gunownership rights. The Supreme Court has allowed room to restrict guns, argues Adam Winkler, a constitutional scholar at UCLA. He notes that the justices “left many large, important questions unanswered” in their narrow, 5-4 decision rejecting a local handgun ban in the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller. “Since Heller, the lower courts have upheld the overwhelming majority of gun laws,” he explains. “Heller doesn’t have to be narrowed for us to do more to reduce gun violence.” Those who plot mass violence shouldn’t be able to obtain semiautomatic weapons so easily, whether we define these people as terrorists or not. That’s one clear lesson of San Bernardino. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.
PUBLIC FORUM
Global interests To the editor: I found Mackenzie Clark’s report on Admiral Harry B. Harris, Jr.’s talk at Kansas University of much interest. Her story (Journal-World, Dec. 2) was included in the Navy Chief of Information’s news clips summary, which, as a retired Naval Public Affairs officer, I receive daily. Although his audience was largely composed of Army and Navy ROTC students, his message should be of great interest to all Kansas University students, as well as every reader of your newspaper. Why? Because the area he is responsible for (“area of responsibility” or “AOR” in military-speak,) will influence the future prosperity of our nation and the free world. My advice? If you missed reading Mackenzie’s story, Google it and read it today. And, if you did read her story, it’s worth another read. My thanks to Admiral Harris for taking time to talk to some of our future military leaders who currently are students at KU. And, my thanks to your newspaper for reporting on his visit. Retired Capt. John G. McCandless, Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.
Hate crimes To the editor: Terrorists, bullies, criminals; whatever you want to call them, the actions of those who harm and attempt to harm the employees, patients and loved ones of Planned Parenthood are evil. These people are not saving anyone’s tax dollars; they are acting on behalf of no one’s God; they are not protecting women and children. We share a collective shudder of horror when we imagine being murdered while sitting at a sidewalk cafe. We need to imagine the horror of being murdered while lying on our backs getting our annual exams or standing captive in a mammography machine or waiting for an appointment with the doctor. These acts of violence against Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides services for all, but which primarily serves women,
are acts of misogyny. These are hate crimes, and they need to be treated as such. Any of us who knows a woman should be outraged. Imagine all that would change in our world if we stood in solidarity with women as they seek health care. Fred Doores, Oskaloosa
Christie cheap shot To the editor: While the French grieve and security forces work around the clock, Chris Christie disparaged them all for a cheap, dishonest shot at Obama. Still clutching 2003’s “freedom fries” propaganda — transparently framing informed restraint as “weakness” — Christie, on the possibility of invoking NATO Article V (collective defense) post Paris attacks, said he heard Obama’s deputy national security adviser say, “We’re going to see what France does.” Christie added, “I didn’t think I was going to live long enough to see a time when there’s a NATO dispute and the American president says, ‘I’m going to wait and see what France does.’” The adviser, Ben Rhodes, said: “The French will make the decision about whether to invoke Article V. We stand ready to do whatever is necessary to support France in this time of tragedy. We already have close military coordination in Iraq and Syria, but we’re prepared to ramp that up. France has a two-star general who is in CENTCOM to facilitate that coordination. And what we will be looking at is, how we can take strikes, take efforts with France in the days ahead to ensure that there’s justice for this attack and that we’re making clear that there’s not going to be a safe haven for ISIL?” If Christie knows anything about French military history or current operations, he cares less for facts and U.S. allies than scoring spurious points with ill-informed voters. Perhaps less delusional than some candidates, he’s proved again and again he’s unprincipled, self-serving and not remotely world leader material. Christy Kennedy, Lawrence

FBI: Shootings were an act of terrorism But no evidence San Bernardino killers were part of cell Doug Stanglin and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY
FBI Director James Comey confirmed Friday his agency was treating the shooting spree in San Bernardino as a “federal terrorist investigation” but said there is no indication the killers were part of a cell or network or were directed by a terrorist group. Authorities say Syed Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, opened fire on a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center on Wednesday, killing 14 people and injuring 21. They were killed hours later in a gun battle with
police as they attempted to flee in a black SUV. Comey said there are indications of “radicalization by the killers and the potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organizations” but did not elaborate. U.S. officials earlier said Malik had expressed support for the Islamic State terrorist group and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in a posting on Facebook. While noting the investigation is still in the early stages, Comey said “we have no indication that these killers are part of an organized, larger group or form part of a cell; there is no indication that they are part of a network.” Previously, authorities had de-
clined to refer to the killings definitively as a terrorist act, suggesting they might have been triggered by a workplace dispute. While conceding a lot of evidence in this case “does not make sense,” Comey, speaking in Washington, said a large volume of evidence prompted authorities to add the terror designation to the investigation. “We are spending a tremendous amount of time trying to understand the motives of the killers and every detail of their lives,” he said. Comey said the killers tried to destroy or conceal evidence by smashing electronic devices but that investigators had been able to harvest considerable data from

cellphones. Authorities say Farook was deleting information from such devices at least one day before the attack. Comey played down the possi-
ble importance of “telephonic connections” between the suspects and at least two subjects of earlier FBI investigations. Comey said nothing about the contents of those communications elevated the California killers to the attention of the FBI prior to the attacks this week. While there was no indication that the extremist group, also known as ISIL or ISIS, directed the massacre in California, Malik’s Facebook posting, as described by U.S. officials, is the strongest link yet that the killings had terrorist roots. The U.S. officials, who are not authorized to comment, said the posting that pledged support to al-Baghdadi was made under another name than Malik just before the shootings.

EMPLOYERS ADDED 211,000 JOBS IN NOVEMBER In thousands: 300 DAVID PAUL MORRIS, BLOOMBERG

Paul Davidson USA TODAY
Employers added 211,000 jobs in November, a solid showing in the labor market for a second consecutive month that cements the likelihood the Federal Reserve will soon raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey, was unchanged at 5%, the Labor Department said Friday. A rise in employment was offset by an increase in the labor force, which includes Americans looking for jobs or working. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected 200,000 job gains, according to their median forecast.

Businesses added 197,000 jobs, driven by construction, professional services and health care. Federal, state and local governments added 14,000. Also encouraging is that job gains for September and October were revised up by a total 35,000. Wage growth slowed after picking up sharply the previous Janet Yellen, chair of the Board of month.

ers in a tightening labor market. That would spur higher inflation and give the Fed confidence to nudge up interest rates. The Fed will be deciding whether to lift its benchmark rate at a pivotal meeting Dec. 15-16. After employment in October bounced back smartly from a twomonth slump, economists said it was unlikely a weak November showing would dissuade Fed policymakers from boosting the rate, especially since the figures are often revised. Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on Thursday officials will closely examine the November report but “can’t overweight any particular number.” She signaled an increase is likely because the labor market has improved over time, with unemployment falling from 10% in 2009. And monthly job growth has averaged more than 200,000 this year.
Obama says climate change is a threat military can’t fix David Jackson USA TODAY
President Obama is sticking with his view climate change is a global threat on the order of terrorism, in part because groups such as the Islamic State will be defeated in traditional ways. “But if you start seeing the oceans rise by 5, 6, 7 feet” and if weather patterns change to where “bread baskets to the world suddenly can no longer grow food, then you’re seeing the kind of crisis that we can’t deal with through the deployment of

the Marines,” Obama said in an interview on CBS This Morning. “We can’t deal with it through pouring money at it,” Obama added. As for terrorism, Obama — who is seeking a global climate change agreement — said “we’re gonna get” the Islamic State. “They will be defeated,” Obama said. “There will be ongoing efforts to disrupt the world order from terrorists, from rogue states, from cyber attacks. There’s always some bad people out there trying to do bad things. And we have to be vigilant in going after them.”
Obama’s critics have mocked his efforts to equate climate change and terrorism. Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, called one of the president’s comments “one of the dumbest statements I’ve ever heard in politics.” Asked about Trump’s criticism, Obama said: “Mr. Trump should run back a tape or quote on some of the stuff he’s said.” Said Obama: Nearly all of the world’s scientists and most of its political parties see climate change as “a really urgent problem.”

The term ‘mass shooting’ often confuses public There are various definitions, resulting in dizzying statistics Jodi Upton @jodiupton USA TODAY
Depending on how you’re counting, the attack in which 14 people died in San Bernardino, Calif., on Wednesday was the 22nd mass shooting this year, or it was one of more than 300 in a near-daily epidemic. Big difference. The problem is one of definitions, sometimes used sloppily and interchangeably. The result: a very confused, and possibly hyperventilating, public.
There is no official definition of a mass shooting. The closest is by the Congressional Research Service, which says it is four or more people killed with a firearm, not including the killer. That’s pretty similar to the FBI’s definition of a mass killing, about 75% of which are committed with a firearm, according to USA TODAY research. (Other weapons include knives, a baseball bat, even one case where a father threw his children off a bridge). This year, there have been 29 mass killings, resulting in 155 deaths. Of those, 22 incidents were shootings. Several other sources use alternate definitions, regardless of whether anyone dies. For example, two widely used sources on mass shootings are Stanford
“This scary one-a-day statistic is rolled out whenever there is a large-scale mass killing, allowing unsophisticated readers to make the wrong connection.” James Alan Fox, Northeastern University
Mass Shootings and Mass Shooting Tracker. The first defines a mass shooting as three or more people shot, but not necessarily fatally, not including the killer(s).
The second defines it as four or more people shot, not necessarily fatally. That may include the killer(s). Researchers say headlines that suggest a “mass shooting” occurs daily on average are misleading. In the eyes of the public, that translates into a San Bernardinostyle shooting nearly every day. “That definition of four or more shot rarely translates to four or more killed. One-third of these ‘mass shootings’ result in no fatalities, and only 5% are mass killings,” says James Alan Fox, professor of Criminology, Law and Public Policy at Northeastern University. “However, this scary one-a-day statistic is rolled out whenever there is a large-scale mass killing, allowing unsophisticated readers to make
the wrong connection.” Fox points out that the one-aday statistic is devoid of any benchmark. Since most counting of public shootings occurred after Sandy Hook almost exactly three years ago, it’s difficult to make comparisons. “Without historical context, we get hysterical response,” Fox says. “If it were possible (and it really isn’t) to go back to 2005 and count the number of shootings with four-plus injured, I’m sure it would be on par with today’s figures.” Mass killings — by firearm or other means — have not increased since 2006; there are about two dozen a year. The Congressional Research Service called for better data collection among government agencies.

McConnell gets pushback on plan to boost parties House member accuses top Republican of ‘inside job’ to stop Trump Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY
Conservative members of Congress and liberal campaign-finance watchdogs are fighting an effort by Republican leaders to relax limits on how much political parties can spend to help individual candidates. The push by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to boost parties comes as a raft of deep-pocketed super PACs dominate spending in the 2016 campaign and as a brash political novice, billionaire developer Donald Trump, tops most polls for the GOP’s presidential nomination.

become law as part of a spending bill Congress must pass soon. The bill currently funding the government expires Dec. 11. The McConnell plan would allow party committees, such as the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee, to spend unlimited amounts in coordination with federal candidates. That would unleash more money to help underwrite advertising and other campaign expenses for partybacked candidates. Individuals can contribute far more money to political parties than they can give to individual candidates. Some liberal groups say the measure would give the wealthy too much say in elections.

members, voted Wednesday to oppose the provision, said South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a Republican and caucus cofounder.
Mulvaney, elected as part of a Tea Party wave that helped Republicans seize control of the House in 2010, said the group would consider the measure a “poison pill” in any last-minute spending bill. “There’s no one clamoring for this except Mitch McConnell and a small group of insiders in the Republican Party,” he said. “This is clearly an inside job, designed to help the insiders.” “This is how the establishment wing of the party is trying to deal with the Donald Trump phenomenon,” Mulvaney added. McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said the coordination proposal isn’t some secret measure the Kentucky senator is trying to sneak into the funding bill. The provision, part of a smaller spending bill that moved through the Senate Appropriations Committee earlier this year, has “been out in the public for months” and
borrows language from another measure previously supported by Democrats, he said. McConnell is a longstanding opponent to campaign-finance restrictions. Political parties have seen their clout diminish in recent elections. A 2002 campaign-finance law, written by Sen. John McCain, RAriz., and then-senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, ended the flow of unlimited “soft” money political parties could receive — all part of a sweeping overhaul to the nation’s election system. Federal court rulings in 2010, however, opened another money spigot, by allowing super PACs that operate outside the party system to crop up and spend unlimited amounts from corporations, unions and individuals to influence candidate elections. The PACs are required to operate independently of the candidates they support.
Rubio champions for-profit school cause Ledyard King USA TODAY
On the presidential campaign trail, Marco Rubio likes to poke fun at a higher-education system that he says churns out droves of liberal arts majors saddled with student loan debt and dim job prospects. The Florida senator and Republican presidential candidate says the nation needs more welders and fewer philosophers. Rubio should know about leaving school with a pile of debt. On the day he was sworn into the Senate in 2011, he owed more than $100,000 in student loans after earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida in 1993 and a law degree from the University of Miami in 1996. It helps explain why he’s so critical of federal student loan programs, which he says unfairly favor four-year colleges. Rubio wants to change accreditation rules to let more vocational schools and online universities take advantage of the roughly $130 billion a year in federal loans and grants — but only if they meet certain benchmarks tied to student outcomes and debt repayment. “Although these programs have proven to hold great promise, they are neglected by our current higher-education system,” Rubio wrote in a recent column for the National Review. “These innovative providers cannot compete with the cartel of existing brick-and-mortar colleges and universities that dominates the accreditation process and shields our higher-education system from reform, competition and accountability.” Schools win accreditation if they meet or exceed federally approved standards set by regional boards, whose members come from already-accredited schools. Schools must be accredited to qualify for federal financial aid, including Pell Grants. Because fouryear schools help set the standards, many alternative private schools and academies specializing in career training have had a difficult time winning accreditation. Critics of Rubio’s proposal say it would benefit for-profit schools WASHINGTON

FLORIDA SENATOR SAYS ‘CARTEL’ OF TRADITIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION NEEDS COMPETITION
JIM COLE, AP
Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says federal student loan programs unfairly favor four-year colleges.
“(Rubio) is the one candidate of either party that’s really raising that issue and is addressing what clearly the data shows is going to be an emerging skill gap over the next few years as Baby Boomers retire and as new jobs require additional skills.” Former GOP Rep. Steve Gunderson of Wisconsin
that have come under sharp scrutiny by government regulators for high-pressure recruiting tactics and failure to deliver on their promises of success in the job market. That’s why the Obama administration implemented a rule on July 1 saying colleges and universities must prepare students for “gainful employment in a recognized occupation” before students at those schools can qualify for federal aid. Programs are considered in compliance if a typical graduate’s annual loan payments don’t exceed 20% of discretionary income or 8% of total earnings. Students at for-profit schools represent about 11% of the highereducation population but account for 44% of federal student loan defaults, according to the Education Department. The answer is to reduce — not increase — federal aid to for-profit schools, said Whitney Barkley, legislative policy counsel for the Center for Responsible Lending. “This is a spigot issue,” Barkley said during a forum on student debt at the liberal Center for American Progress. “The problem is there are federal dollars flowing into unscrupulous schools, and somebody needs to turn them off. We turn the spigot off and the problem goes away.” Rubio’s support for for-profit institutions isn’t unusual considering he represents a state where almost 18% of about 1.7 million college students attended forprofit schools during the 2012-13 academic year, according to federal data. Nationwide, about 12% of college students attend for-profit schools Rubio went out of his way to help one for-profit school — Corinthian Colleges — when California state regulators and federal education officials investigated it last year for false advertising, deceptive marketing and misrepresenting job placement rates. Last year, Rubio asked the Education Department to “demonstrate leniency” after regulators restricted Corinthian’s access to federal financial aid. “Of utmost concern is the thousands of students attending 14 Corinthian-affiliated campuses throughout the state of Florida,” Rubio wrote in a June 20, 2014,
letter. “It would be nothing less than an injustice to disrupt the educational endeavor of those students who are seeking to better their futures by effectively forcing Corinthian to shut their doors.” That letter — combined with the $15,000 Corinthian donated to Rubio and his leadership PAC from 2010 to 2013 — have fueled criticism of Rubio’s advocacy on behalf of for-profit schools. Corinthian shut down in April after it was fined $30 million by the Education Department. The government’s decision to forgive the federal loans of students who attended Corinthian or one its affiliates could cost taxpayers tens of millions, Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell told reporters in June. The head of the trade group that represents for-profit schools said the Obama administration has waged “an ideological war” on the industry, noting that more than 500 campuses have closed since 2009. Former GOP Rep. Steve Gunderson of Wisconsin, now president and CEO of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, praised Rubio for seeing the “bigger picture” on higher education. “He is the one candidate of either party that’s really raising that issue and is addressing what clearly the data shows is going to be an emerging skill gap over the next few years as Baby Boomers retire and as new jobs require additional skills,” Gunderson said. Rubio has teamed with Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado on a bill that would benefit a number of alternative highereducation programs currently ineligible for federal student aid. The measure would allow them access to such aid if they demonstrate “high student outcomes, including student learning, completion and return on investment,” according to Bennet’s office. The bill would create a new accrediting authority using more expansive criteria — such as job placement rates and student loan repayment rates — than those used by the regional boards.

At least 16 people were killed and three injured in a firebomb attack on a restaurant in Cairo, Egyptian state media said Friday. The MENA news agency said three men on a motorcycle early Friday threw Molotov cocktails into the restaurant, which also houses a nightclub, in the city’s Agouza district and then fled the scene. At least one of the attackers may have been a disgruntled exemployee who argued with other people at the venue, Egypt’s interior ministry said.

The complaint filed Wednesday in Connecticut federal district court asks that Trader Joe’s be prohibited from selling the cookies and seeks damages. Pepperidge Farm has a trademark for Milano cookies, which were launched in 1956. Trader Joe’s had no comment.

Norfolk Southern has suffered from the financial challenges facing the coal industry.
“There is a high probability that, after years of disruption and expense, the proposed combination would be rejected by the Surface Transportation Board,” Norfolk Southern CEO James Squires said in a statement, referring to a U.S. regulatory agency that would have to sign off on the transaction. “Even if the proposed combination were ultimately to be cleared, it would be subject to a wide range of onerous conditions that would reduce the value of the stock consideration that has been proposed.” Norfolk Southern stock fell $1.05, or 1.1%, to close Friday at $92.06. Canadian Pacific shares lost $6.42, or 4.6%, to close at $134.49. The rejection also exposed the wide rift between the two companies on business strategy. Squires blasted what he described as “Canadian Pacific’s short-term, cutto-the-bone strategy” that would drain “substantial revenues” and risk “harm to vital transportation infrastructure and the communities we serve.” He also rejected Canadian Pacific’s proposed establishment of a voting trust to speed the tie-up, saying it was without precedent. Canadian Pacific spokesman Martin Cej said in an email that the company is reviewing Norfolk Southern’s response and declined to comment further. Norfolk Southern operates about 21,000 rail miles in 22 states, with a strong presence in the Northeast and Great Lakes.

FRIDAY RECOVERY
ready on record as saying it thinks the U.S. economy is strong enough to withstand the first interest-rate increase in nearly 10 years. And Friday’s solid jobs number backed up the Fed’s confidence. “The runway has been cleared for liftoff,” Michael Gapen of Barclays said in a note. One of the two primary indicators the Fed focuses on is the health of the U.S. employment market, as well as the outlook for inflation. A blowout jobs report in October, when the economy created 271,000 jobs, pushed the odds of a rate increase at the Fed’s December meeting to roughly 75%. And the second straight month of 200,000-plus job gains all but sealed the deal for a hike. Even before Friday’s jobs report, Wall Street was pretty much convinced the Fed would announce the rate liftoff on Dec. 16. Wall Street is also eyeing wage growth, because evidence workers are earning more is a signal of strength and often presages a rise in inflation, which the Fed is hoping for. Steve Blitz, chief economist at ITG, said before the 8:30 a.m. ET jobs announcement that all it would take is job gains north of 150,000 for the Fed to pull the trigger. The 150,000 figure “ should be a number that adds to the general perception that the Fed will finally make its first rate hike” since 2006, Blitz predicts. It would take a jobs number of 100,000 or below “to make the Fed take notice” and consider holding off again on raising rates. Europe markets fell, with the DAX of Germany off 0.3%, adding to its 3.6% drop — a 400point loss — of Thursday.
U.S. rail operator Norfolk Southern on Friday said it rejected an unsolicited takeover by Canadian Pacific that would have created a transcontinental rail company. Canadian Pacific had offered cash and stock worth $37.8 billion for Norfolk Southern in what would have been the second-largest merger or acquisition in the history of global transportation, according to Dealogic. But Norfolk Southern said it could boost its profitability as an independent company and said it doubted that the deal — which was valued at $28 billion excluding debt — could win regulatory approval.
The E. coli outbreak that hit Chipotle Mexican Grill this fall also sickened people in Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania, three states that had not previously been affected, health officials said Friday. Company shares slid 0.7% in regular trading — only to dive an additional 6% after-hours as the fast-casual chain’s quarterly earnings report gave investors more bad news.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chipotle, citing “the impact of the recent E. coli incident,” said it now expects comparable sales in the fourth quarter to fall 8% to 11%. The outbreak has sickened at least 52 people, up seven from the previous report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement. “While the CDC update includes additional cases, it’s important to note that they (are) newly reported but not really new,” Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold said in an email. “All of these date back to the mid-October to early-November time frame and are just now making their way through the reporting process.” Chipotle said earlier Friday it

The chain will conduct DNAbased tests to analyze quality and safety of produce before it’s sent to restaurants, subject suppliers to quality testing and bolster worker training, among other measures. Arnold said the case in Pennsylvania had no connection to Chipotle. The CDC said it is trying to identify the specific food linked to the incident, but evidence points to “a common meal item or ingredient.” The episode has sent 20 people to the hospital. The seven unidentified people added to the list Friday are from Ohio, California, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington.

Merger and acquisition activity in the U.S. might be at record levels. But a massive deal in the tuna industry just fell apart. The tuna giants behind the brands Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee abandoned their plans to merge Friday after the U.S. government signaled its opposition to the deal. Thai Union Group, which controls San Diego-based Chicken of the Sea and other brands such as Van Camps and Genova, had agreed to acquire Bumble Bee Foods for $1.5 billion from British private equity firm Lion Capital in December 2014.

Bonds are safe havens for a good reason Q: Are dividends good bond replacements? Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY
A: The solid November jobs number clears the way for the Federal Reserve to start boosting short-term interest rates. That’s probably not good news for bonds. But don’t think the alternatives, such as dividends, are risk-free, either. Dividends are a natural candidate for investors who fear higher interest rates might push the prices of bonds down. Stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are currently yielding an average of 2% a year, a compelling rate of return when the rate on the 10-year Treasury is 2.3%. There’s an extra kicker to the dividend: the chance the stock price will increase if the company paying the dividends posts strong revenue and profit growth. But don’t make the mistake of confusing a 2% dividend yield with a 2.3% bond yield. Unlike bonds that are a financial obligation, dividends can and are routinely suspended or cut when companies encounter difficulties. There’s also the risk of the underlying security not rising, but falling. The volatility of an individual dividend-paying stock will likely be many times higher than what you’d see from a Treasury. Stocks that are attractive due to their yields, such as utilities and real estate, can also underperform in times of rising rates. Bonds are safe havens for a reason.
Court approves additional $1.19B for Madoff scam victims Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY
Investors burned by Bernard Madoff’s massive fraud will share an additional $1.19 billion recovery, the court-appointed trustee seeking the Ponzi scheme mastermind’s assets said Friday. The distribution, the sixth involving recoveries from the estimated $20 billion investment fraud, will go to victims who held 1,071 Madoff accounts, trustee Irving Picard said as the latest repayments commenced.
GETTY IMAGES
Bernard Madoff is serving a 150-year prison term.
A federal bankruptcy court approved the distribution in November. The average payment will total approximately $1.11 million. The smallest payment is roughly $1,298, and the largest is approximately $202 million, according to the trustee’s staff. Claimants are scheduled to receive nearly 8.3% of the allowed claim amount for each account, unless the claim is fully satisfied. The distribution boosts the overall amount distributed to eligible claimants to more than $9.16 billion, including $833 million in advances from the Securities Investor Protection Corpor-

ry of the scam’s collapse. Madoff produced eerily steady gains for clients for decades, crediting a proprietary investment strategy. But the scheme collapsed in December 2008 amid the national financial crisis, as investors sought their money back. Investigators discovered that Madoff didn’t make any of the investments he promised. Instead, he used funds from new customers to pay earlier clients, the hallmark of a Ponzi scheme. The disgraced financier, now 77, pleaded guilty in 2009 without standing trial. He’s serving a 150-year federal prison term.

WEILAND’S VOICE CHANNELED HIS JOY AND PAIN Stone Temple Pilots’ first singer perceived his life was unfinished song

SAN FRANCISCO
n 1992, a new band roared onto the rock scene. Stone Temple Pilots, or STP, had the same sonic template as other raging grunge-era groups, from the T-Rex stomp of Pearl Jam to the introspective angst of Nirvana. But they had one thing none of them possessed: Scott Weiland. The chameleon-like frontman, who was found dead at 48 Thursday while on tour with his latest band the Wildabouts, quickly distinguished himself as one of the great lead singers in rock with the booming, soulful tunes on STP’s debut album, Core. On Creep, Weiland lamented he was “half the man I used to be.” On the metal-tinged Wicked Garden, he asked, “Can you feel pain inside?” On the anthemic Plush, he simply declared: “And I feel it.” Weiland surely felt enough for multiple lifetimes, and all along the way channeled those emotions right back into his music. The singer was nakedly candid when we spoke four years ago. The occasion was the release of his darkly frank memoir, Not
R. DIAMOND, WIREIMAGE
Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland (shown here in a 2000 photo) was found dead Thursday at age 48. Dead & Not for Sale: The Earthling Chronicles. In it, he reflected on everything from his failed marriage to model Mary Forsberg to his battles with drug addiction, struggles that derailed his career and hurt the ones he loved. But throughout our talk, which was conducted at just above a whisper, Weiland reveled in unadulterated honesty. “People have this misconception about me,” he said. “OK, I struggled with heroin and cocaine and I was a big rock star. But music is not what defines me. I’m a brother, a father (to Noah, 15, and Lucy, 13), a son and a person who’s been in love with very few women.”
Asked whether he would change anything about his turbulent past, Weiland paused. “Just the nights my mom and dad lost sleep wondering how I or my brother were doing,” he says. “My brother passed away (in 2007 of a drug overdose), and that’s something that will always stay with me.” In many ways, Weiland was a throwback to an earlier rock era, when raw feelings forged in childhood could be glimpsed in recordings and on stage. Jim Morrison’s rebellious screams hint at the disconnect with his military father. Janis Joplin’s soaring vocals won fans for a deeply insecure soul. There was

‘Wiz’ proves charming from start to finish Shanice Williams captivates as a young Dorothy Robert Bianco @BiancoRobert USA TODAY
Now that’s how you ease a TV musical on down the road to success. As you may have heard from hatewatch-fans everywhere, the first two live musicals producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron did for NBC, The Sound of Music and Peter Pan, were more than a little rough around the edges. Happily, practice makes closer to perfect. Pulsing with life and fun, sparked by energetic dances and colorful costumes, and driven by Charles Smalls’ still-sturdy score, NBC’s The Wiz Live! Thursday (***1⁄2 stars out of four) was charmed from start to finish. And were that not enough, viewers got to witness the launch of a scintillating new performer in Shanice Williams, the young college student who may just have sung her way to stardom as Dorothy. The first wise move in this adaptation of the 1975 Broadway TV REVIEW

simply no way to listen to STP without believing that its music was genuine and not meant as a paean to the pop charts. In the years following our talk, Weiland embraced life while trying to keep drugs and other emotional mayhem at bay, remarrying and courting new musical muses. To a large degree he seemed to be succeeding. After an unsuccessful attempt to reunite with STP (after five years as Velvet Revolver’s singer), he released a few cover albums and even a Christmas disc, all while continuing his solo project with the Wildabouts. While it’s not yet known what killed Weiland, the singer himself always felt he was being stalked by the lesser angels of his past. He told me in 2011 that while he swore never to take heroin again, he was even more fearful of the bottle: “I never thought that alcohol would be the real nightmare that it actually is. And it’s legal.” Weiland was hopeful his thennew biography would shed light on his troubles and maybe keep others safe. But he keenly sensed that his own life was still an unfinished song. “If (readers) find some things confusing, well, that’s just because there are still many parts of my life that remain confusing to me,” he said. Out of that confusion was born rock ’n’ roll art.

Shanice Williams followed the yellow-brick road as Dorothy on The Wiz Live! hit, which reimagined The Wizard of Oz with an all-AfricanAmerican cast, was making The Wiz’s Dorothy a brave, resilient teenager again instead of the whiny, weepy middle-aged woman of the much-maligned 1978 movie. The second was turning the director’s chair over to Kenny Leon, who skillfully balanced the theatricality of the original with the
staging demands of a live televised performance, using simple sets and projections and relying on Fatima Robinson’s choreography and Paul Tazewell’s costumes to supply the bulk of the magic. Granted, even with some doctoring from Harvey Fierstein, William F. Brown’s adaption of the L. Frank Baum story remains little more than a peg on which to
hang Smalls’ songs. That’s a problem — and the way you get around that, as The Wiz proved, is to perform those songs spectacularly well. Indeed, the only problem on that score is picking a favorite. (It re-airs Dec. 19). I might have said it was original star Stephanie Mills stepping in here as Aunt Em, until Amber Riley stepped up as Addaperle, followed by equally strong showstoppers from a limber Elijah Kelley as the Scarecrow, Ne-Yo as the Tin Man and a scene-stealing David Alan Grier as the Cowardly Lion. And that’s all before we got to the three great stars of the musical’s later scenes: Queen Latifiah as the Wizard, Mary J. Blige as Evillene, and Uzo Aduba as Glinda. All told, there wasn’t a bad performance to be seen — and there was some great singing to be heard. Indeed, even if you didn’t watch the show, you’re going to want the soundtrack, if only to put Williams’ version of Home on constant repeat. Yes, as you might expect, there were some glitches. And, most disruptive of all, there were those seemingly ceaseless commercials. But that’s part and parcel of doing and paying for live TV on this ambitious a scale. Luckily this time, with this production, those ambitions bore fruit. Believe it.

KANSAS PLAYERS RUSH THE COURT FOLLOWING their sweep of Missouri on Friday night at Horejsi Center. The Jayhawks won, 25-16, 25-13, 27-25.
Jayhawks sweep Missouri, reach Sweet 16 By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Kansas University volleyball coach Ray Bechard considered various motivational tactics leading up to Friday night’s KU-Missouri showdown in Horejsi Center. “Jim Marchiony (associ-
ate AD) thought we should have Fambrough come back and talk to ’em before we started this match. Then we talked about it again. We said, ‘You know what? These kids don’t understand all that.’ “Our players wanted to go to San Diego. They knew if they beat Furman and won
one more match after that, they got that chance,” 18thyear coach Bechard said after the Jayhawks indeed punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in California by blasting Mizzou, 3-0. The Jayhawks — who befuddled Furman, 3-0, in the first-round of the NCAAs
on Thursday — needed no tape of Missouri-hater/ late KU football coach Don Fambrough before dominating the first two sets, 25-16, 25-13. The Jayhawks trailed 24-20 in the third set before concocting a remarkable 2725 comeback victory. “I think everybody was excited for this game right after
we beat Furman,” said sophomore setter Ainise Havili, who dished 40 assists with 12 digs and four kills. She fed Kelsie Payne (16 kills, two errors) for a pair of kills that ended the match. “I think we’ve been waiting for this it seemed like

Horejsi Center kind to KU Need an explanation for why the Kansas University volleyball team chose to host first- and second-round NCAA Tournament matches inside cozy, 1,300-seat Horejsi Family Athletics Center instead of quadrupling the attendance by playing at Allen Fieldhouse? One word tells the story — attitude. Playing inside the gymnasium where they lost just one match this season (to mighty Texas) — and have lost just seven times since 2012 — the Jayhawks operated with the look of the hunter while their Border War rivals from Missouri merely looked hopeless.
Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
It was almost as if No. 9 Kansas (28-2) looked offended that the Tigers, or whichever team may have fallen into their spot in this year’s bracket, even would consider coming into the aluminum fieldhouse with the idea of winning. “We talk about why we want to play matches in Horejsi,” said KU coach
Ray Bechard after his team’s three-set sweep of 25th-ranked Missouri that ended with a thrilling Kansas comeback. “I think that’s a pretty good example of why. I think that’s about as thrilling of a finish as you’re ever gonna see.” Before finishing the sweep, 27-25, after trailing 24-20, Kansas dominated the first two sets both on the scoreboard — 25-16 and 25-13 — and on the court. Nine Jayhawks contributed meaningful and critical statistics during the victory, and a few of them added a layer of cockiness to their KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S KELSIE PAYNE (8) SPIKES THE BALL PAST Missouri blockers accomplishments.

Roberts helps Lions subdue Emporia By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

LAWRENCE HIGH’S JUSTIN ROBERTS, RIGHT, drives past Emporia’s Seth Tilton. Roberts scored 18 points, and the Lions won, 63-44, on Friday night in Emporia.
Emporia — Lawrence High senior Justin Roberts returned to the court Friday for the first time after tearing a ligament in his left knee during an AAU basketball tournament in April. It was impossible to tell the 5-foot-9 point guard had suffered any injury against Emporia, except for a bulky knee brace, in a 63-44 victory in the boys basketball team’s season opener at Emporia High. Roberts made his first three shots, helping the Li-
ons run out to a 16-0 lead in the first four minutes. When he wasn’t making shots, he set up his teammates for open jumpers or layups. “I felt like I was a freshman again, playing my first varsity game,” said Roberts, who finished with a game-high 18 points, four rebounds and five assists. “I had a lot of nerves, a lot of excitement, a lot of anxiousness. But I just knew I had to come out and play my game and don’t try to do too much.” Roberts added two threepointers in the second half. On one possession, Roberts
kept a play alive by diving head-first out of bounds to save the ball, which a few passes later turned into a dunk by 6-4 senior forward Price Morgan. “You couldn’t tell he tore his ACL,” senior guard Anthony Harvey said of Roberts. “He’s the best point guard in the state, I think. He’s just that guy. I don’t mean to toot his horn, but he’s one of my best friends, and I know he’s going to come out and play as hard as he can.” After earning a spot in the Class 6A state championship game last year, LHS
coach Mike Lewis told his team to play loose on Friday. Harvey took the message to heart, drilling three triples in the first quarter, including a four-point play. Roberts and Harvey combined for all of their team’s 22 points in the first quarter. “It definitely boosted my confidence a lot,” Harvey said. “Hit a shot, go back and play hard defense, and then come down and get rewarded with another shot.” Lewis added: “Anytime you can come out and hit an early shot, whether that’s Please see LHS BOYS, page 5C

Seven 2015 KU football red-shirts to watch Every season at just about every school, one of the mostasked questions around football programs is about red-shirts. Who are they? How many will there be? Which ones will help most in the future? And have you told them yet? It may be handled differently at different places, and at some of the power programs that have guys lined up down the block to come play, they probably do tell kids before the season begins that they’re going to red-shirt. Not at Kansas University. At least not with head coach David Beaty. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely a few guys who Beaty and his coaching staff targeted with the idea of redshirting them. But if any of them could have helped the Jayhawks on the field at all during the 2015 season, the red-shirt would’ve come off in a hot minute. Beaty said as much throughout the season while also saying, at times, that there were specific guys he would’ve liked to red-shirt. He didn’t always name names, but would say something like, “We’d like to keep the shirt on one of the two freshmen QBs.” It worked. Ryan Willis played. Carter Stanley did not.

BYU coach leaves for UVa Charlottesville, Va. — Virginia hired Bronco Mendenhall as its football coach in a surprise move Friday, luring him away from BYU after an 11-year run with the Cougars. There had been numerous reports about various coaches such as former Georgia coach Mark Richt, California coach Sonny Dykes and Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm being linked to the vacancy at Virginia, but Mendenhall’s name had never come up. As they did with basketball coach Tony Bennett, the Cavaliers pulled a surprise. “Bronco Mendenhall’s teams have consistently won at a high level and he’s demonstrated the ability to create a strategic vision to build a program and then implement his plan to be successful,” Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage said in a statement. “His emphasis on the overall development of student athletes and a commitment to academic achievement is in line with our goals of uncompromised excellence. We’re excited to begin a new era of Virginia football and support Bronco and his staff.” Virginia finished 4-8 this season and fired Mike London after six seasons, during which he had only one winning record. Mendenhall was 99-42 with the Cougars, including splitting a home-and-home series with Virginia, and took the Cougars to a bowl game every season while never having a losing record. The Cougars are one of only 11 teams to advance to a bowl game in each of the past 11 seasons. Mendenhall reached a five-year agreement with Virginia that starts at $3.25 million per year. BYU went 9-3 this season and Mendenhall will coach the Cougars in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Source: D’backs get Greinke Free agent ace Zack Greinke and the Arizona Diamondbacks have reached agreement on a six-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because there hadn’t been an official announcement. The major league ERA leader chose Arizona over the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. The 32-year-old Greinke helped the Dodgers win their third straight division title this season, then opted out of his contract to become a free agent. Fox first reported the deal, and said it was worth $206 million. Greinke was the second former AL Cy Young winner to get a rich contract this week. David Price joined the Boston Red Sox for $217 million over seven years. In December 2012, Greinke signed a $147 million, six-year deal with the Dodgers that included an opt-out clause. He exercised it and walked away from a guaranteed $71 million over the next three years. The Diamondbacks emerged as a surprise winner in the Greinke sweepstakes. They finished 79-83 last season, 13 games behind the West champion Dodgers and also trailing the Giants, who have won three of the last six World Series. Arizona scored the second-most runs in the NL last season, but was thin in the pitching department — Diamondbacks starters threw the second-fewest innings in the league. Greinke had a 1.66 ERA last season and a scoreless streak of 452⁄3 innings.

Miami — Mark Richt, one of the most illustrious college football coaches in the nation, was introduced Friday as the University of Miami’s 24th football coach. Richt, whose record in 15 years as the Georgia coach was 145-51, is a former UM quarterback who graduated from Miami in 1982. He said he was coming “home.” “I’m very excited to be home,” said Richt, wearing a charcoal gray suit with a green and orange tie and U pin on his left lapel. “This is home. Just very thankful. “…I don’t want to make a lot of promises other than I promise we’re going to get to work and we’re going to earn the right for victory. It’s a process and it does take a lot of work. It takes a lot of people doing it the right way.” The news conference was held at the Donna E. Shalala Student Center, with a few hundred in attendance, including current and former players, administrators and donors. “We have found who we consider the best coach to lead our Hurricanes’ football program,” UM president Julio Frenk said. “… It’s clear to me that he and I share this conviction, that at the University of Miami, studentathletes’ success is measured both on and off the field. I am certain that under Coach Richt, (UM) will have a winning football program. And equally important to me is that we will have an exemplary football program. “The best coaches are also teachers, and I am delighted that we have brought back a distinguished alum who is not just a coach — he’s an educator, he’s a mentor and of course he is a true Hurricane. Welcome home Coach Richt.” Richt, who replaces Al Golden, said UM is where he intends to stay until he retires. “My goal is to finish my coaching career at the U,” he said.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CASSIE WAIT LEAPS IN CELEBRATION during the Jayhawks’ victory over Missouri in the NCAA Tournament on Friday night at Horejsi Center.

forever, but it was only what, a couple hours? We were all really excited for this,” Havili added. The Jayhawks’ fast start, which was aided by Tayler Soucie’s seven blocks and a variety of kills by Payne, Tiana Dockery (nine), Madison Rigdon (eight), Soucie (seven) and Janae Hall (five) off pinpoint passes by Havili, proved pivotal for a KU team that will meet Loyola Marymount (24-8) in a Sweet 16 contest Friday in San Diego. “I think the crowd (1,300 fans) helped with that a lot, before we even got here,” Fort Worth, Texas, native Havili said. “We really pride ourselves on starting early. I don’t think we lost a lot of first or second sets this year, so that’s been great.” “Everything was flowing real well. I felt really natural. We were really in tune with each other,” said Payne, a sophomore from Austin, Texas. Of her assortment of blocks that helped set the tone against the Tigers (27-6), Osawatomie junior Soucie said: “Blocking is

In the second set, after winning a joust at the net with Missouri middle blocker Emily Thater, KU setter Ainise Havili landed and sent a chilly stare Thater’s way. Border War bitterness at its finest? Hardly. “That stare-down, I was tired, and I didn’t really know where to look,” admitted Havili, who finished with 40 assists, nearly three times as many as Mizzou’s top setter. “It happened to be at her, no offense to her.” Of Havili’s statement stuff, Bechard said: “That’s when you deflate other teams. Ainise kind of played that off, but she wins 99 percent of those. She’s a little pit bull.” Intended or not, the Big 12 setter of the year’s extra gesture fit perfectly into the way her Jayhawks controlled the match and raced to a two-set lead. Havili was not alone in
what gets me pumped. If you can block somebody, you kind of get in their heads a bit. Our pins were doing a good job of setting up the block. Me and Janae (Hall, three blocks) were doing what we do every day in practice.” Maggie Anderson’s serving late, plus the combination of Havili-toPayne helped KU erase that 24-20 deficit in the final set. “Probably,” Payne said, asked if her final two kills were the most memorable of her career. “Starting now, I think I’m going to remember those probably forever.” “Me, too,” chimed in Bechard. His Jayhawks improved to 28-2 overall and have reached the Sweet 16 for the second time in school history, the other time 2013. “When you’ve got a team that played as well as we did in the first two sets ... obviously we knew Missouri would respond,” Bechard said. “To come from behind at 24-20, never lose faith, never lose sight of what we need to do ... I’m extremely proud of getting to move forward and represent the University of Kansas in the regional in the Sweet 16. I would like
to commend Missouri on a tremendous year. A lot of teams could come out after the (2-0) break and lay down. They fought hard. This group fought a little harder.” MU left feeling it left it all on the Horejsi court. “It’s a little disappointing we couldn’t get that third set, but I’m really proud of how my team fought at the end,” said MU junior Carly Kan, who had 12 kills. “I thought we had a lot of heart in the third set. We were really pushing Kansas. What we did in the third set, I’m proud of the way we responded.” Noted coach Wayne Kreklow: “Kansas played a great match tonight. They did a lot of things really well. I felt in that third game we started to figure it out, timing, rhythm, just how to play the game. I thought we had a shot to take the third game and push it to four. They made some great plays down the stretch and earned it. They’ve had a great season and are a very good team,” he added, noting his team also had a stellar season in that the Tigers were picked to finish seventh in the SEC and took second, reaching the second round of the tourney.
bringing a little extra attitude to the floor. Heavy hitter Kelsie Payne, who led all players with 16 kills, followed each one with that “Mm-hmm” style head nod that seemed to indicate she knew she could not be stopped. Even before the match began, sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon stared into her teammates’ eyes during the huddle that preceded the first serve and said simply, “Let’s go,” with an extra word added in the middle for emphasis. “I’ve been on a lot of teams where you have to try to drag energy out of people,” said junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie, who finished with a match-high seven blocks. “Over in Europe, we got to know each other better and be more comfortable around each other so we could bring out our weirdness. It’s great to have the energy from everybody, and we feed off of each other so much.” The way the Jayhawks arrived prepared and jumped from Minute
One, it’s hard to imagine anyone having beaten them in their home gym on this night. “I think the crowd helped with that a lot,” Havili said. “We were amped before we even got here.” That juice and KU’s ability to play in its always-wild-and-rockin’ home gym thanks to the NCAA’s decision to lift the minimum capacity requirements for host schools, led to a memorable night in what has become the best stretch of volleyball in school history. Overjoyed but far from satisfied, this group now heads to San Diego with its sights set on earning a spot in the Elite Eight for the first time and crashing the party for which invitations typically only are sent to the best of the best. Penn State. Stanford. Texas. Nebraska. “We want to be an elite team and an elite program year after year,” Bechard said. “And I think we’re on our way to doing that.”
The fact that the shortest player on Kansas University’s basketball roster leads the squad in defensive rebounds classifies as ... “Embarrassing,” KU coach Bill Self said Friday when informed 5-foot-11 Frank Mason III indeed has grabbed 27 defensive boards heading into today’s 2:15 p.m. home game against Harvard. “Perry (Ellis), Landen (Lucas), everybody ... that’s embarrassing, all our bigs,” Self added, his smile indicating he’s more surprised than despondent over the situation. “We don’t have bigs that actually go get it. He (Mason) attacks the ball better than anybody else we have. I think a lot of times the traffic’s cleared for him to go get it because he doesn’t have to block anybody out because his man is usually back for defensive balance. He should be a better rotational rebounder or pinching in and helping block out the bigs, (but) when he’s got a free run at it he can go get it with the best of them.” Mason, as the Journal-World’s Tom Keegan pointed out in his Wednesday column (http://bit.ly/1IuK6qM), has three more defensive caroms than Ellis’ 24. Lucas and Jamari Traylor have 22 apiece. Coincidentally, freshman forward Carlton Bragg Jr., who has 15 defensive boards, says Mason has been stepping up as a team leader of late. “Since the Loyola game (94-61 win Tuesday) practice has picked up a lot, more intensity. Leadership has come out a lot. Frank, himself, the great leader he is, stepped up a lot during the practices, pushing us hard, being vocal,” Bragg said. Mason explained he’s been, “learning, watching film, getting better, seeing everything from coach’s view, trying to adjust to it and do what they (coaches) want me to do. I’m just always trying to get better.” As far as who is emerging as unquestioned team leader, Self stated: “Right now I think people are drawing more confidence from Wayne (Selden Jr., 17.2 ppg) because Wayne right now is playing at the highest level of anybody on our team. If we are going to look at the guy you look to at game point who are we going to go to, I think Frank would be the guy everybody would look to at that particular moment.” Guards Mason, Devonté Graham and Selden have led an offensive attack that averages 93.5 ppg, second-best mark in the country, trailing only The Citadel’s 96.6 mark. “Things like that to me don’t matter. To me what matters is the way you will play in February, March to give you the best chance to win,” Self said. “Not too many teams are going to win at a high level scoring 95 points in a game at that time because teams don’t give up easy baskets. You’ll see a (2-5) Harvard team come in eighth in the country in defensive efficiency (35.5 percent FG percentage defense). There won’t be big numbers put up because of their style. Usually that’s the style conducive to playing in the NCAA Tournament.”

Rockets 100, Mavericks 96 Dallas — James Harden scored 25 points after another rough shooting start, and Houston beat Dallas Friday night. Harden, who missed his first 11 shots in a home loss to Dallas last month, was 3-of-12 in the first half before making seven of 11. That included a clinching jumper that hit the rim and backboard before bouncing on the rim a couple more times and going in for a four-point lead with seven seconds left. The All-Star guard also had nine assists, including one to Terrence Jones for a wide-open dunk that put Houston ahead for good at 98-96 in the final minute. Deron Williams had 22 points and six assists to lead the Mavericks.

For 19 years, Billy Donovan’s life was about everything being the same. He held the same job. Worked for the same boss. Had the same secretary. His assistants were the same. So were the trainers and strength coaches. And then one day he decided it was time for a change. So here now is Donovan coaching the Oklahoma City Thunder, despite having the ultimate job security at the University of Florida. His once consistent life is now filled with a daily new adventure. “Now, I’m walking into an environment, I don’t really know these people at all,” Donovan said. “How are these relationships going to flourish? I think that was probably, if anything, the uncertainty that I had.” Eight years after spurning the NBA to remain at the collegiate level, he has Oklahoma City off to an 11-8 start and making the transition with ease. “It’s been great,” said Donovan, who once accepted the Orlando Magic job in 2007 before withdrawing. “I really enjoy it. It always starts with the organization, the people you’re working with. The staff’s been great. I’ve really enjoyed those guys. They’ve been helpful. The players have been really, really good. I think I’m coaching a hard-working team. The one thing I respect about [Kevin] Durant and [Russell] Westbrook is those guys come in every day and work.” Donovan, who won two national titles at Florida, is now facing players he used to coach. Friday’s 97-95 loss to Miami marked the first time he’d been on the opposing bench of Heat forward Udonis Haslem, who was on the Gators’ 2000 team that lost to Michigan State in the national championship game. The feeling is the same each time he runs into a former player, whether it’s Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah or Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford. Earlier this week, Horford made a point to visit with Donovan in the locker room before the game. “It’s been different,” Donovan said. “One, is they look a lot older than when I had them [at Florida].” Donovan, too, is no lon-

At this level, he is learning how to deal with the egos of multi-millionaires and the sleepless nights of the NBA travel schedule. Before this year, the only “back-to-back” he knew of was that consecutive titles he won with the Gators in 2006 and 2007. The lack of NBA experience has actually made it easier for Donovan to relate with players. He said it’s been helpful because it allows him to listen more to the team. “These guys have had so many games under their belts and so many different experiences,” Donovan said. “It’s got to be a group effort. There may be some things that I’m seeing that I could mention to them and there’s things that they’re seeing on the court and say, ‘Hey coach, it may be better to do this.’ That’s what you want to do is to be able to work together.’” Added Durant: “He’s a player’s coach. He’s all about being connected as a group. He’s all about holding us to that standard every single day. Every single day, it’s the same thing. I think that’s how you become a really good team. You grind it out every single day.” Even though it’s been just a few months, Donovan is already thinking long-term. He’s avoided bouncing around different jobs throughout his career. “I felt like most of my time coaching I didn’t jump around a lot,” Donovan said. “I really stayed in one place for a long period of time.”

LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE ASIA GOODWIN (24) GRABS A REBOUND in the Lions’ 52-43 loss to Emporia on Friday at EHS.
LHS girls squander chances, fall to EHS By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com
Emporia — Lawrence High’s girls basketball team went scoreless for a few long stretches in the first half Friday against Emporia. The Lions turned the ball over 21 times. And what hurt the most is they knew they still had chances to win. The Lions felt they left a good opportunity slip away in a 52-43 loss in their season opener at Emporia. After a layup by junior guard Olivia Lemus, the Lions trailed 34-33 with 2:03 left in the third quarter. Emporia responded with seven straight points in the period, and the Lions never recovered. “That was a backbreaker,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said. In the third quarter, the Lions found their rhythm offensively by finding 6-foot senior forward Alexis Boyd and 6-foot-3 freshman forward Chisom Ajewku in the post for layups. Sophomore guard E’lease Stafford added six straight points in a two-minute stretch, driving past defenders or scoring on putbacks.
But Stafford stepped off the floor after picking up her fourth foul with a minute left in the third quarter, and Emporia junior Jennica Smith scored on a layup, and junior Braxtyn Stewart drilled a three-pointer for a 41-33 advantage. “She’s got to do that for four quarters, not just a two-minute stretch in the third,” Dickson said of Stafford. “She’s just so unselfish sometimes.” In the fourth quarter, the Lions cut their deficit to four points following a three-pointer from freshman point guard Hannah Stewart, a free throw from Lemus and a putback by sophomore Asia Goodwin. However, every time the Lions looked on the verge of making a run, the Spartans came back with a big shots on long jumpers. “I really thought we’d come out a little more solid, a little more fundamentally sound,” Dickson said. The Lions had 11 turnovers in the first half and went scoreless for the final three minutes of the first quarter and the last
four minutes of the second quarter. Stafford scored a gamehigh 13 points, while Ajekwu added eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks in her varsity debut. Fellow freshman starter Stewart scored five points and had one steal. “I was especially proud of Chisom. I’m obviously biased, but I thought she was getting beat on and hammered all night long,” said Dickson, noting Ajekwu didn’t attempt a free throw despite taking seven shots in the low post. The Lions will travel to Barstow (Missouri) at 7 p.m. Monday.

a three or just a good, solid possession, that just puts you at ease. Sometimes there’s games it takes you two, three or four minutes to hit a shot. Tonight was one of those where we came out and hit some shots early. We needed that.” In the third quarter, the Lions (1-0) shot 8-for-11 from the floor, turning a 10-point halftime lead into a 50-33 advantage. Morgan scored 10 of his 18 points in the period, with two baskets assisted from junior guard Jackson Mallory. Harvey also added a layup-and-thefoul bucket.
In the following weeks after Roberts tore his ACL, he was hoping to return to the court by January. But as he progressed through his rehab, he kept moving his starting date up. He was cleared to play before tryouts last month. “The process went a lot faster than I thought it would be,” Roberts said. “I just wanted to get out there and play with my guys. Every single day that I was getting closer, I was marking the day off of my calendar.” The Lions plan to bring Roberts along slowly with a minutes limit in each game, but they know they can count on their floor leader. “Not surprised. We’ve been working on this for about a month,” Lewis said. “He’s just game-by-
game and week-by-week right now trying to stay healthy and keep getting stronger. We’re just trying to be smart. I thought he had that good adrenaline rush to him.” The Lions will face Grandview (Missouri) in the first round of the Blue Valley Shootout at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Piper sparks FSHS girls
By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com
Topeka — Topeka High girls basketball coach Hannah Alexander had one clear message to his team entering its matchup against Free State High on Friday at THS: Don’t let FSHS junior guard Madison Piper put up uncontested shots. The Trojans were unable to answer their coach’s call, as Piper scored 22 points to push Free State past Topeka High, 58-52, in the season opener for both teams. “Any time she was able to get open, and any time they left her, she hit the shot,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said of Piper. “That’s what great players do. She knows she’s not going to get a ton of good looks all season, so when she does, she’s got to take them and hit them.” Piper torched the Trojans for 23 points in Free State’s season opener last year at FSHS, and she got off to a hot start again Friday night. The 5-foot-10 junior scored eight unanswered points — including two three-pointers — to give the Firebirds a 9-3 advantage at the 4:39 mark of the first quarter, and FSHS never relinquished the lead. Although Piper scored 18 of her 22 points from behind the arc, she also frequently battled down low. Piper pulled down eight rebounds to pace the Firebirds and is looking forward to the challenge of playing more in the post. “It will teach me to be tougher and be able to make more moves,” Piper said. “It’s going to be good for me, I guess, in a way.” While Piper led all scorers, Topeka High had
a potent offensive threat as well in senior guard Adrianna Henderson. The Trojans’ top returning scorer netted 18 points despite being benched in the first quarter for disciplinary reasons and hit a three to pull THS within 47-43 with 3:47 remaining. “She was very difficult to guard. She could pull up with the shot, and she was very good at driving,” FSHS senior Caiti Schlesener said of guarding Henderson while Cameryn Thomas was in foul trouble. Duncan was pleased with his team’s composure down the stretch — especially Schlesener, who hit back-to-back three-pointers following Henderson’s triple to keep Topeka High at arm’s length. “As I was shooting it, I was just, like, ‘Please go in,’” Schlesener said of hoisting the first of her two threes. “It’s been so long. I have been struggling with a hand injury, so I was, like, ‘Come on. I need this one. I need this boost of confidence.’” Schlesene, senior Peyton Brown and junior Jaycie Bishop each had nine points apiece in a balanced offensive attack. The Firebirds will travel to Central Academy at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP
Terps crush St. Francis The Associated Press
Top 25 Men No. 2 Maryland 96, St. Francis 55 College Park, Md. — Maryland coach Mark Turgeon thinks the best is yet to come for Robert Carter Jr. If Turgeon is right, the Georgia Tech transfer is primed for a huge season. Carter had a seasonhigh 20 points in just 19 minutes, and Maryland rebounded from its first loss with a victory over St. Francis on Friday. “He was terrific tonight,” Turgeon said. “I thought his defense was better and his defensive rebounding was good to see. Robert is such a good kid and he gets a little bit more comfortable each and every game. There is a lot more in him that we haven’t seen yet.” Freshman Diamond Stone added 16 points, and Jake Layman scored 11 of his 16 points in the first half. Maryland (71), which lost to No. 9 North Carolina on Tuesday, was 31 of 46 from the field (67.4 percent) and has shot at least 50 percent for five consecutive games. Ben Millaud-Meunier led St. Francis (3-4) with 13 points. Ronnie Drinnon added 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Red Flash, who have dropped each of their four road games this season. Layman scored eight points as Maryland opened with a 16-3 run. It was a nice response from Layman, who was 1-for-5 from the field and scored four points in the 89-81 loss to the Tar Heels. “I’ve been shooting the ball the same way,” Layman said. “I think everyone goes through cycles of missed shots like that. Shooters just have to keep shooting no matter what.” ST. FRANCIS (PA.)

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?
Mary Beth Titus Realtor
785-375-0742 mtitus@movewithplatinum.com Where did you grow up? I grew up in western New York by Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, The Niagara River and Niagara Falls in a town called Lockport, 1 block away from the Erie Canal. I was surrounded by water. I could see the Toronto skyline on a clear night from the shoreline at Lake Ontario. I survived several lake effect blizzards. What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it? We live on the west side of Lawrence in a quiet neighborhood. We love it because we are within walking distance to so many things we enjoy and need. We are really happy now that Rock Chalk Park is nearby also. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? I really love hanging out with my family (My husband Robb of 36 years, my four kids 3 son-in-laws and my 5 grandchildren) We have a house at Lake Wabaunsee and we love going there all year round. It’s only one hour from our door here to there. We really enjoy KU sports and hanging out with our friends. We appreciate being able to walk in the trails around Lawrence or at Rock Chalk Park. We also love going down to Mass St..Oh and did I mention drinking wine?
I love when a past client/customer refers me to their kids, parents and best friends. It means a lot to me that they really trusted me. I love when a buyer walks in and just knows “this is the one” I think its like being a matchmaker. I enjoy educating new buyers and seeing their excitement when the pieces all fall together. I also enjoy the retirees moving to the area for all that Lawrence has to offer. I like helping sellers that need to sell for whatever reason and helping them figure out how we can work together to get that accomplished. The most challenging for me is giving bad news, like telling the buyer they didn’t get the house they wanted or telling the seller the inspection revealed some major issue that wasn’t expected.
What are the top 3 things that separate you from your

competition?
Well, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I should write a book. I guess I would have to say even with the advanced technology we have I still find it unusual that people will buy homes without seeing them.
I have fun doing my job and I think it shows. I go the extra mile and have a lot of experience to help solve just about any issues that come up. If I don’t have an answer, I’ll get it. I believe in our “Code of Ethics” and

experienced this year. Even if rates go up they’re still low.
Solving problems. There’s always something unexpected that comes up, knowing I’m helping and getting the job done is what keeps me motivated. Educating buyers and counseling sellers.
We’ve been spoiled... in a nice way. Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent? I care. I will listen to their needs and go the extra mile to help them. I want to develop a trusting relationship, not just close a transaction.
