broke from its past practice of naming individuals who resign from the district’s employment. In addition, the NAACP letter alleges that district officials failed to adequately notify parents that

Moderate republicans make big gains in Kansas House, Senate By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., of Olathe, was elected speaker of the Kansas House on Monday, and Sen. Susan Wagle, of Wichita, won another term as Senate president. But moderate Republicans, who scored big wins in the November general elections, showed their

new strength by winning majority leader positions in both the House and Senate. For the House, Rep. Don Hineman, of Dighton, will be the new Republican leader, and Sen. Jeff Longbine, of Emporia, will be the new Senate vice president. Meanwhile, there will be a change in the House Democratic leader position as well. After an initial tie

About two months since it was first proposed, the plan to resolve the HERE apartment complex’s parking shortage is scheduled for final approval by the City Commission. A debate regarding the zoning for the parking lot prolonged the decision, with worries that the zoning recommended by city planners could clear the way for a high-density apartment or dormitory to locate on the site CITY in the future. COMMISSION The commission approved the plan to build a parking lot around the corner from the complex in October. But following the vote, residents of the neighborhood said that decision was based in part on an inaccurate explanation of zoning codes from city planners. City planners originally told the commission that the city’s land development code required the offsite parking lot to be zoned at least as the same density level as the HERE complex it would serve. The eight-story complex, located on Indiana Street near Memorial Stadium, has the city’s maximum zoning level, which allows for 32 dwelling units per acre. > HERE, 4A

LAWRENCE • STATE

Leaders

majority leader, and Jim Denning, of Overland Park, a conservative who has since backed away from Brownback’s tax policies, was named majority leader.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Sen. Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, was re-elected minority leader; Sen. Laura Kelly, also of Topeka, was named assistant minority leader, taking over from Marci Francisco, of Hensley Lawrence, who had held that job the last four years. Francisco instead chose to run this year for the job of Kelly caucus agenda chair. Those new leaders now face the task of steering the Legi s l a t u r e Francisco through what may be one of the most difficult sessions in recent memory as the state faces a looming $350 million budget hole for the rest of this fiscal year and an even bigger one looming next year, and an impending decision from the Kansas Supreme Court that may require the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on public K-12 education.

House Republicans Although he’s generally seen as conservative on budget and tax issues, Ryckman won support from moderates as well, beating Rep. Russ Jennings, of Lakin, 57-28. The race for majority leader was much c l o s e r , Jennings with Hineman, the moderate candidate, edging out the more conservative Rep. John Barker, of Abilene, 44-41. The majority leader’s race may actually be a more accurate measure of how much strength moderates will have in the House for the next two years, but Ryckman said he intends to work with all factions within the party, and with Democrats. “I believe if you look at the members of our state and the members of our caucus today, they did select a broad variety of individuals that I believe have come here to do the state’s business and to get us on the right path to restore a little civility and accountability to our process,” Ryckman said. “It’s all-hands-on-deck, and

REP. TOM SLOAN, R-LAWRENCE, CASTS HIS BALLOT in the race for Speaker of the House on Monday. if someone’s willing to find a way to get to a yes (vote), we’re definitely willing to listen.” That would be a significant change from the leadership style of outgoing Speaker Ray Merrick, of Stilwell, who was known for punishing those who opposed him on key issues by taking away committee chairmanships or removing people from committees altogether. He Merrick was also known for limiting the number of bills that were ever fully debated on the House floor to avoid the possibility of amendments. Ryckman, who turns 45 this month, also represents a generational change from Merrick, who is stepping down from the Legislature this year at age 77. In his private life, Ryckman owns and operates a commercial roofing company in Johnson County. Hineman said Ryckman will need to be more open and cooperative with moderates because the 2016 elections produced significant changes in the House. “It’s not a lurch to the left. It’s a shift to the center, or a return to the center,” he said. Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, said he thinks the mix of moderates and conservatives in the leadership team reflects a more diverse GOP caucus, and he thinks Ryckman will need to take that into account as he starts making committee appointments. He said Ryckman has told members he plans to appoint a mix of moderates and conservatives to committee chairmanships and vice-chairmanships, and that he has vowed not to “stack” committees in favor of one faction or the other.

The race for speaker had been a three-person race until Saturday, when the current majority leader, Rep. Jene Vickrey, of Louisburg, bowed out of the race. That left only Ryckman and Jennings, who is finishing only his second term in the House, to compete for the job. Ryckman was considered the favorite going into the race, even though both he and Jennings have only served two terms in the Legislature, because Ryckman had spent the last two years chairing the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Many of his colleagues gave him credit for steering that panel through the contentious special session earlier this year by producing a school finance bill that ultimately received bipartisan support and staved off a possible shutdown of public schools by the Kansas Supreme Court over funding equity issues. Other House leaders chosen Monday include Reps. Scott Schwab, of Olathe, as speaker pro tem; Tom Phillips, of Manhattan, as assistant majority leader; Kent Thompson, of Iola, as majority whip; and Susan Concannon, of Beloit, as caucus chair.

Senate Republicans On the Senate side, Wagle fended off a lastminute challenge on her right from Sen. Ty Masterson, of Andover, who has been chair of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, which deals with budgets and appropriations. As in the House, however, 2016 elections produced a significant shift toward moderates in the Senate. That was largely due to the fact that eight conservatives lost their seats to more moderate challengers in the Aug. 2 primaries, and there had been fear that Republicans overall might lose three to five Senate seats in the general election.

In early October, about a month before the election, Wagle, a strong social and fiscal conservative, called a news conference and, standing with 25 other GOP senators and candidates, including both conservatives and moderates, acknowledged that she had heard the voters’ anger on the campaign trail. She vowed that, if elected, they would address the state’s budget crisis in the 2017 session even if that meant reversing some of the tax policies that Brownback had championed and that most Republican senators had supported. In the end, Republicans lost only one seat in the election, and many in the party gave Wagle a large share of the credit for that. Masterson, however, represented a faction of conservatives who are reluctant to shift toward the center and who criticized Wagle for what they said were efforts to avert major debates by refusing to let certain bills come to the floor, charges that Wagle denied. “I have never squashed debate,” Wagle said. “We need to recognize that we are a diverse group of people from all walks of life who have made a tremendous sacrifice to put their name on the ballot in a year that we know is going to be very difficult to govern.” Wagle won the contest handily, 23-7. But, as in the House, more moderate senators also won leadership positions. In addition to Jeff Longbine becoming the new vice president, Sen. Vicki Schmidt, of Topeka, was elected assistant

House Democrats The race between Ward and Burroughs for minority leader was a rematch of their contest two years ago. This time, though, House Democrats were riding high after an election in which they gained more seats than they have in any of the last several campaign cycles. Democrats took over 13 new seats that had been held by Republicans in November while losing only one Democratic seat, boosting their caucus to 40 members in one of the biggest net gains they have seen in several election cycles. Ward, an attorney from Wichita, is viewed as a firebrand in the House who is often more confrontational with conservatives than Burroughs had been. And with a larger caucus, he will also have more leverage to negotiate with moderate Republicans to form a working majority on a number of key issues. Ward said his first priority will be to engage with the public in hopes of building more popular support for alternative policies. But he said the first task for Ryckman, Hineman and the other GOP leaders will be to put together committees and immediately confront the state’s financial crisis. “I don’t know how you can do anything without addressing the fact that we’re $350 million short,” he said. “After the February school payments are made, it’ll be difficult to make payroll. We just don’t have the resources to do the minimum state services.” Other Democratic leaders chosen Monday include Reps. Stan Frownfelter, of Kansas City, as assistant minority leader; Ed Trimmer, of Winfield, as minority whip; and Brandon Whipple, of Wichita, as agenda chair. Rep. Barbara Ballard, of Lawrence, was re-elected to her job as caucus chairwoman, and Rep. Adam Lusker, of Frontenac, was elected policy chair, taking over that role from Rep. John Wilson, of Lawrence, who did not seek it this year. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222. Follow him on Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Student Senate representative on University Senate, voted to create the committee, saying that although current Student Senate leaders are working hard on diversity, leaders change each year. She questioned how a group that is “not representative of the student body” could make needed changes on its own. “You can’t really take the log out of your eye if you don’t think it’s there,” Wang said.

Pedestrian killed by car was longtime KU employee By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Police Department has identified the pedestrian killed by a car Friday as a longtime University of Kansas employee. According to a news release Monday from the department’s public affairs officer, Sgt. Amy Rhoads, 58-year-old Bruce Coburn, of Lawrence, was walking southbound at 9:28 p.m. Friday in the roadway at the intersection of West Ninth and

Illinois streets when he was struck by a black Volvo that was eastbound on West Ninth Street and was driven by a 26-year-old man. The driver’s name was not provided. The news release states that emergency responders attempted life-saving measures on Coburn at the scene before he was pronounced dead. No citations or arrests have been made in relation to the incident, Rhoads said. Colburn was an office assistant with University of

Kansas Libraries, where he worked since 1981. “Bruce occupied a unique place within our library family. Those who knew him appreciated his humor and wry perspective; his loss will be felt by us all,” said Kevin L. Smith, dean of KU Libraries. “Our sympathies and thoughts are with Bruce’s colleagues, family and friends during this difficult time.” In a statement released Monday, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little also acknowledged Coburn’s

Economists: Kansas’ rate of unemployment will top US’ Wichita (ap) — Kansas economists predict the state will have a higher unemployment rate than the nation beginning in 2018. The Wichita Eagle reports that in October, Kansas’ unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent, slightly lower than the national average. Kansas Department of Labor economist Tyler Tenbrink says the state’s unemployment rate held steady around 4 percent for most of 2015 but rose during the second half of 2016. Tenbrink says the state expects the Kansas unemployment rate to rise to about 4.7 percent in 2018 based on current data. He says the Federal Reserve predicts a national unemployment rate of 4.5 percent for that year. He says the Federal Reserve and the state use different methodologies to make these predictions. Kansas has historically had a lower unemployment rate than the nation.

But residents of the surrounding Oread neighborhood objected to the city’s interpretation of the code. Kyle Thompson, the chair of the Oread Residents Association, noted in a letter to the city that the code allowed an exception to the cited zoning requirement under some circumstances, all of which were met for the HERE project.

NAACP

LAWRENCE • STATE

“This may have been an oversight in planning discussion and documents presented, but we now respectfully ask this exception be utilized to comply with our Oread Neighborhood Plan,” Thompson wrote. Though the zoning of the lot doesn’t matter for the lot itself, some Oread residents have previously told the commission they were concerned that if the parking lot were zoned to match the complex, it could allow for another high-density complex to be built on the lot in the future. Though the parking plan would have noted that the site should

only allow for a parking lot, not all residents were reassured that safeguard would be enough for future commissions. In his request to apply the exception, Thompson said the lower zoning was better for the neighborhood. “The lower zoning does more to protect the neighborhood, and in the future it would be easier to implement an increase in zoning density rather than a decrease,” Thompson wrote. The $75 million luxury apartment complex consists of 624 bedrooms and 13,500 square feet of commercial space. The

L awrence J ournal -W orld

previous City Commission provided the Chicago development group behind the complex with an 85 percent property tax rebate after it touted the complex as a major boon for the area. After Thompson’s letter was received, the parking proposal was sent back to the commission for additional review, but a final decision was deferred. City planners have since added further options to the proposal, including an option to use the exception in the code to downgrade the zoning of the lot. The parking shortage has

meant not all the bedrooms can be leased. Once the parking lot is built, HERE will be allowed to lease about 75 additional bedrooms. The shortage was created after the company hired to build a high-tech, automated parking garage for the apartment building went bankrupt and failed to deliver the parking system. The City Commission will convene at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314. Follow her on Twitter: @RochelleVerde

error on your part.” “Aside from what official policy might allow regarding parent consent when interviewing subjects, the appropriate measure on such a sensitive and potentially volatile matter would have been to inform and include parents in a transparent investigatory process,” Minor continued. District officials on Monday declined to comment on the NAACP’s allegations about the investigation. The letter also makes clear the NAACP’s position on the school board’s decision on Nov. 28 to allow the employee to resign without releasing that employee’s name. If the South

teacher who had been under investigation this semester, had, in fact, made racist remarks in class, that teacher, Minor wrote, “will have the opportunity to seek employment in another school district without having to account for his actions.” Minor and the Lawrence NAACP chapter believe, based on accounts from several South parents, that the South teacher did engage in “racist classroom conduct” while instructing students. “We are deeply concerned that one of the district’s teachers at South Middle School … is resigning without any public recognition on your part of the harm that he did to the students who

were the targets of racist speech in this particular incident,” Minor wrote, referring to the employee who many have speculated is the teacher who had been under investigation this semester. “This is to say nothing of the innumerable other students who possibly also experienced racist comments and/or other inappropriate actions” at the hands of that teacher, she added. The Journal-World on Monday reached out to district officials about the letter. Though the district declined to comment on specific questions, including those regarding the extent to which parents were notified of their children’s participation in

the investigation process at South, it did release the following statement from Superintendent Kyle Hayden: “The Lawrence school district continues to be committed to addressing institutionalized racism and providing learning environments free from harassment and discrimination. We want and appreciate the NAACP’s partnership in these efforts.” The district also confirmed that Hayden and Marcel Harmon, president of the Lawrence school board, did meet with NAACP leaders on Nov. 17 to discuss “mutual goals of providing safe and effective learning

environments for all children. “We plan to continue this dialogue, discuss concerns and engage the organization’s members in helping the district in its ongoing work to achieve our equity goals and improve support for all students,” Hayden said. The statement also said that Hayden and Harmon have invited the NAACP to meet again regarding these issues, and Minor on Monday said that she and other NAACP members plan to “sit down with them soon.”

I did talk with Sells briefly today, and he said he is still raising funds to get his venture started at 23rd and Harper. He previously had looked at opening a business in a smaller space in The Malls Shopping Center near 23rd and Louisiana. When he switched to the 23rd and Harper site, the project became bigger and needed more financing, he said. Sells did not have a start date on the project, but he said his plans call for about 16,000 square feet of

space, with 10 shooting lanes with the potential to expand to 18. Whether both projects — they are only about 2 miles apart — would move forward is uncertain. That seems like a lot of gun ranges in a small area, but there is no denying that gun sales have been booming. There have been plenty of national reports about how people have feared stricter gun regulations were always on the horizon with the Obama administration. Whether that trend will continue under a Trump administration is one of just a few things worth watching over the next four years. But who knows; perhaps both businesses will end up moving forward.

Perhaps East 23rd Street will become to gun ranges what south Iowa Street has become to fried chicken restaurants. It makes no difference to me. I would just urge this: If you are going to combine the two

Voting debate Calls to change the Electoral College are misguided and futile.

he Electoral College has served the United States well since its founding, and despite significant postelection debate, it seems likely to be the system the country will use again in 2020. For the second time in the past five presidential elections, the candidate who won the popular vote did not win the Electoral College. Republican Donald Trump won 306 electoral votes to 232 for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Yet Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2.5 million. Similarly, in 2000, Democrat Al Gore won the popular vote by more than 500,000 votes but lost the Electoral College narrowly to George W. Bush. University of Kansas Professor Burdett Loomis says the Electoral College is an antiquated system developed more than 200 years ago to meet the needs of a fledgling nation. The framers of the Constitution did not believe that candidates could reasonably be expected to run national campaigns and communicate with voters in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, Loomis said, the creators of the Electoral College system did not anticipate the two-party duopoly that would come to dominate U.S. politics and weaken the need for the Electoral College. Many argue that the Electoral College’s “winner-take-all” approach to each state doesn’t fairly reflect the will of the voters. It doesn’t matter whether a presidential candidate wins Kansas by one vote or more than 100,000; the candidate receives all six of Kansas’ electoral votes. Arguments against the Electoral College include that votes don’t matter in states like Kansas where one party has such a distinct advantage that the outcome in that state is predetermined. If the Republican is a lock to win Kansas, why should Kansas Democrats bother to vote? Under the Electoral College, presidential elections come down to a handful of swing states and all campaigning is focused there. Most of the country is left out. The National Popular Vote movement seeks to change the Electoral College by getting states representing at least half of the nation’s electoral votes (270) to agree to cast all of their electoral votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote nationwide. Eleven states representing 165 electoral votes have approved the legislation. But despite its shortcomings, the Electoral College helps ensure that presidential candidates carve out a national strategy, addressing issues throughout the country rather than narrowly focusing on the most populous — New York, California, Illinois, Texas and Florida. In 2016, New Hampshire and Iowa and Minnesota mattered. In an election decided by the popular vote, they would not. Both parties and all the candidates understood the rules of the Electoral College going into the election. Post-election calls for changes to the system come off a little like sour grapes. Loomis and most analysts agree the Electoral College system is unlikely to change. Given that, it seems that rather than wasting time on a futile effort to change the Electoral College, politicians and parties would be better served by building a national campaign that appeals to as many voters in as many states as possible.

Trump’s loose talk has global reach What would happen if a president talked to world leaders in the same explosive patter Donald Trump perfected on the campaign trail? You can get a clue from the off-the-cuff phone talks the president-elect has been holding with foreign leaders since winning the election. These freewheeling calls have veered from insulting to astonishing and raised questions about U.S. policy shifts that Trump seems not to have intended. Case in point: Trump holds a phone schmooze with the Taiwanese president, apparently unaware that it could cause a crisis with China. Beijing may view the call as a break in a 37-year-old U.S. policy of not recognizing Taiwan, which China regards as a renegade province. This is the most sensitive issue in U.S.-Chinese relations, yet Trump is heedless. It makes one wonder when someone (and who?) will tell Trump his words and tweets are being taken seriously by foreign leaders — even if not by him. Think for a moment of the suggestion Trump made by phone to British Prime Minister Theresa May. “If you travel to the U.S. you should let me know,” he carelessly told the leader of America’s closest ally two days after the election. Then Trump went on to hold (in his words) “a very productive meeting” on Nov. 12 at Trump Towers with Nigel Farage, the Brit who led the destructive British campaign to exit the European Union. May opposed Brexit, but as if to compound his insult, Trump openly suggested she appoint Farage as ambassador to Washington,

He clearly prefers to keep schmoozing as if he were still running a business or a TV show.” a suggestion London quickly rebuffed. Did Trump deliberately intend to insult May? Does he want to promote the breakup of the European Union, which is what Farage and Vladimir Putin are seeking? Or was Trump just indulging in chitchat, oblivious to the foreign-policy impact of his words? Either way, Trump’s careless words have led to counterproductive confusion about what he really means. Even more startling than his insult to May was the conversation Trump held with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who called to congratulate him on his victory. Keep in mind that the United States has deep and dangerous disputes with Pakistan. Despite billions in U.S. aid over many years, the Pakistani military and ISI intelligence service are still supporting the Afghan Taliban along with the Haqqani network. Both groups are currently battling Afghan forces being trained by U.S. advisers. Trump himself tweeted in 2012 that “Pakistan is not

our friend.” Yet in his chat with the Pakistani leader, the president-elect waxes effusive, calling Sharif a “terrific guy” who is “doing amazing work” in a “fantastic country of fantastic people.” Then Trump says he is “ready and willing to play any role you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems. I will personally do it.” (There were so many “terrifics” and “amazings” in reports of the conversation that at first I thought it was a parody from the satirical paper the Onion.) But wait. How do we know what Trump said? We know because Sharif was so delighted with the call that he breached protocol and had the Pakistani Information Ministry release its own readout, which hasn’t been denied by the Trump transition office. No wonder Afghan and Indian officials are wondering whether Trump is contemplating a new policy of embracing their country. As for the Pakistanis, the initial response, as I was told by the former Pakistani ambassador to Washington, Husain Haqqani, was “We can carry on as usual, this guy has praised us, he likes us. “You have to carefully calibrate your message to Pakistan,” adds Haqqani. “This was not calibrated.” Which raises the question of who, if anyone, will calibrate Trump’s verbiage once he takes the presidential oath. In principle, the gravitas of the office should have an effect, as should the intelligence and foreign-policy briefings needed to bring an inexperienced presidentelect up to snuff. But so far,

the president has rebuffed State Department and most intelligence briefings. He clearly prefers to keep schmoozing as if he were still running a business or a TV show. So far Trump’s advisers haven’t reined him in — and there is little sign they are willing — and his foreignpolicy team is still being assembled. But his closest national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, is also a hotheaded personality with a penchant for explosive rhetoric. In my several conversations with people who have worked with Flynn, they concur that he’s unlikely to put a brake on his boss. As for Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, retired Gen. James Mattis, if confirmed, will have his hands full with his own job and be in no position to muzzle his boss on rhetoric that might adversely affect U.S. interests. And anyway, Trump has said he knows more than the generals. Yet Trump’s loose tongue is no joke. Careless talk with Putin — which would no doubt leak — could convince the Russian leader that he can conduct further aggression in the Mideast and Europe. Careless talk with Taiwan’s leader could cause a blowup with China before Trump even decides to start a trade war with Beijing. Etc., etc. On the other hand, a constant barrage of loose talk may convince foreign friends and foes that Trump is a reality showman whom they do not need to take seriously — not a president who means what he says. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial-board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our amazing First Amendment is a 5-in-1 deal What a thing of beauty, our First Amendment. Think about it: In only 45 words, it lays out five constitutional rights. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to the First Amendment, and not petition the Government for a just because our president-elect redress of grievances. appears to lack even a passing familiarity with it.

Connie Schultz

(Catherine) Robson puts the point succinctly: ‘If we do not learn by heart, the heart does not feel the rhythms of poetry as echoes or variations of its own insistent beat.’” May our hearts ring with the rhythms of our First Amendment freedoms. There’s nothing like breathing in the promise of America to help us stay calm when someone insists our country keep its word. Take flag burners, for instance. Our Constitution and our Supreme Court insist they can burn our flag without losing their freedom. Every time they do it, though, someone else is yelling, “Oh, yeah? Well, we’ll see about that.” I don’t enjoy seeing someone burn the American flag, mostly because I’m not a fan of watching anger meet fire. I’m not keen on American flag bandanas, either. You know that line of forehead sweat that slowly creeps over the Stars and Stripes? Just feels wrong. Why aren’t people who oppose desecrating the flag complaining about that?

After Trump tweeted his unconstitutional take on our constitutional right, I Googled “American flag” and “clothing.” My Lord, there’s a bowie knife to the patriotic heart. Page after page of stuff that surely would offend the love-it-or-leave-it crowd. Personally, I could have done without the guy modeling the American flag bikini briefs. I’m never going to be able to un-see that particular star and stripe. I also don’t see the charm in American flag harem shorts, American flag leggings or American flag flip-flops. The American flag under the soles of filthy feet. Say that out loud and tell me you aren’t trembling. It’s enough to drive a girl to grab her American flag beer can koozie — you want to say cozy, but don’t, because it’s keeping your beer kool, get it? — and slide it onto the nearest can of brew. The koozie, by the way, is on sale for $9.99. (“You save $5.00!”) Nothing says America like a U.S. flag wrapped around a can of Coors.

We could have a much healthier discussion about the politics of flag burning if we were honest about why those flag burners bother some of us. Could it be that we just aren’t comfortable with fellow Americans willing to question what in high heaven is going on in America? That maybe we’re just afraid of what comes next? We hear a lot about how defacing the flag insults our men and women in uniform, but they do not sacrifice their comfort and too often their lives to protect a strip of fabric usually made in China. They are preserving our freedoms, including the five listed in the First Amendment. Let’s stop insulting their intelligence by suggesting they don’t know the difference. Let us breathe in the promise of America and exhale to the rhythm of our freedom. Or not. That’s America. — Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and professional in residence at Kent State University’s school of journalism.

Council OKs $2.9M in temporary funding for public works building levy or sales tax. In October, Baldwin City financial director Brad Smith said it would take about $218,000 a year to retire the debt, which would be split between the city’s electrical, water and sewer departments. The debt retirement was either factored into rates or to be considered in utility rate studies now underway, he said. It was concern about what she called “unanswered questions” regarding the project’s consequences on utility rates that caused Councilwoman Kathy Gerstner to vote against the authorization. “I have nothing against the project,” she said after the meeting. “I think it’s needed. I don’t think this is the right time, and there’s some questions that need to be answered.” Voting yes were Councilmen Tony Brown and David Simmons. Councilwoman Christi Darnell abstained, and Councilman Steve Bauer was absent.

The Baldwin City Council authorized by a 2-1 vote Monday the sale of $2.9 million in temporary notes for construction of a new public works building. The action follows the Council’s decision in October to move forward with the project. The facility is to be built in the northeast corner of the city’s Orange Street yard and will replace its current headquarters and yard in the 600 block of High Street. Representatives of Springsted Financial on hand for Monday’s meeting said the temporary notes would eventually be refinanced with long-term bonds. The $2.9 million authorized was less than the $3.2 million approved in the council’s October action because cost estimates for the facility’s contraction have been further refined, the council was told. Although the bonds used to finance the project will be general obligation bonds, meaning they are backed by all city revenues, the debt is to be retired through utility rate revenue. No referendum will be needed for the city to issue the bonds because debt retirement will not require a dedicated mill

City Administrator Glenn Rodden said Lawrence architect Jay Zimmerschied was working to finalize final construction plans. He anticipated the project would be ready to bid by late winter with construction starting in the late spring 2017. In other business, the council: l Approved an ordinance that will have the Council meet on the first and third Tuesday of every month instead of its current schedule of the first and third Monday. The change will end the Council’s conflict with the Baldwin school board, which meets on the third Monday of each month. l Approved a 2017 contract with Douglas County Corrections to house Baldwin City inmates in the Douglas County Jail at the rate of $77.12 per day. That was an increase of $3.67, Smith said.

Check it out: Amazon’s no-line grocery Pilot store in Seattle lets customers grab items and just go Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

Amazon is testing a grocery store in Seattle that lets customers walk in, grab food from the shelves and walk out without going through a checkout line. Instead, customers tap their

cellphones on a turnstile as they walk into the store. That logs them into the store’s network and connects to their Amazon Prime account through an app. The service, Amazon Go, uses machine learning, sensors and artificial intelligence to track items customers pick up. They are then added to the virtual cart on their app. If customers pick up an item but put it back on the shelf, it is removed from their cart. When customers leave, the app adds up everything they took and charges their Amazon account.

Amazon calls it “Just walk out technology.” The Seattle-based company, which began working on the project in 2012, is testing the system with Amazon employees. It will open to the public in early 2017, the company said. The technology “is amazing,” said Phil Lempert, a food marketing expert based in Los Angeles. He’s even more intrigued by the multiple images of “meal kits” shown in Amazon’s video. These “everything you need to cook a quick, high-quality dinner” kits

Amazon announced its checkout-free Amazon Go “just walk out” store Monday.

have become popular, but the economics of delivering them has meant they’re difficult to make viable. Stores such as Amazon Go may provide a sweet spot for them. “When you look at the store itself in the video, they have done a great job of merchandising, and having ‘meal kits’ available is simply brilliant,” Lempert said. “As the ‘meal kit’ industry struggles due to the shipping/logistics aspect,” Amazon Go could be a venue where it could succeed, Lempert said.

Ryan: Phasing out Obamacare will take a while Republican leader expects long process to make sure ‘no one is worse off’ in changes Craig Gilbert

predicted that a GOP strategy of quickly voting to repeal the program but delaying its effective end date would create chaos and disruption for the people in it. Ryan rejected that idea, saying, “Obamacare is failing and failing quickly,” and “there is nowhere to go but up with respect to Obamacare.” Ryan addressed other issues:

WASHINGTON House Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday he envisions an extended transition from Obamacare that ensures “no one is worse off” after Congress votes to repeal the program. The speaker declined to say how long it would take Republicans to design a replacement so the millions of people covered by the Affordable Care Act could be transitioned off it. “It will clearly take time. It took them about six years to

stand up Obamacare. It’s not going to be replaced come next football season,” he said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel. Ryan said there will be an early repeal vote next year, but after that, “clearly there will be a transition and a bridge so that no one is left out in the cold, so that no one is worse off. The purpose here is to bring relief to people who are suffering from Obamacare so that they can get something better.” Some Republicans have suggested it would take years to replace the health care law.

dress that is something we will decide later,” Ryan said. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed resistance to big entitlement changes. The speaker said, “I have no doubt that he wants to save Medicare for future seniors.” FIRMS THAT MOVE JOBS

Asked whether he had any concerns about Trump’s threats of retribution and tariffs against U.S. companies that move production to other countries, Ryan declined to comment directly. “We can get at what he’s talking about through smart tax reform. What his concern is is legitimate — American companies are moving overseas, are shifting headquarters and factories overseas,” said Ryan, who blamed “our terrible tax code” for much of that. Asked about Trump’s talk of tariffs and penalties, Ryan indicated he supported a different approach: “Like I said, I think we can get at the goal here, which is to keep American businesses American, build things in America and sell them overseas — that can be properly addressed with comprehensive tax reform.” VOTER FRAUD CLAIMS

In an interview Sunday on 60 Minutes, Ryan was asked about the president-elect’s claim on Twitter that he would have won the national popular vote if it weren’t for the “millions of people who voted illegally.” Ryan declined on 60 Minutes to either endorse or repudiate Trump’s claim, saying, “I have no knowledge of such things … it doesn’t matter to me.” Asked Monday about the impact of Trump’s claims on the public’s faith in elections, Ryan said, “I’m not going to spend my time commenting on the latest tweets. I can’t back up that claim. I’m not focused on it. He won the election. I’m focused on getting things done.”

Navy secretary recommends upgraded Medals of Honor Review reflects how warfare has changed in Iraq, Afghanistan Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is recommending that two sailors be awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military honor, an upgrade from their current awards and the result of a nearly year-long review of military valor since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The two sailors, whose names have not been made public, have been awarded the Navy Cross, the second-highest medal. In February, the Pentagon announced plans to review more than 1,000 of the top military’s top commendations issued since 9/11. Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the review amid concerns that criteria had changed during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and had left some troops deserving greater recognition. “I put in two upgrade requests to the Medal of Honor,” Mabus said in an interview. “Both cases I think are richly deserved.” Mabus declined to offer any further details. There have been 18 Medals of Honor awarded since 9/11, 14 for bravery in Afghanistan and four for Iraq. The Navy and Marine Corps have awarded 47 Navy Crosses to sailors and Marines in public cer-

emonies since 9/11. In addition, two Navy Crosses were awarded in secret, records obtained by USA TODAY show. A Marine was awarded the Navy Cross for evacuating Americans after the attack in Benghazi in September 2012 that killed four, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The other was awarded to a Navy SEAL who, while being shot at, tossed burning explosives from a compound, and prevented an explosion that saved the lives of U.S. troops and Afghan civilians. The records also showed more than 112 Silver Star citations issued for secret missions by Navy SEALs since 9/11. The Army also issued about 100 Silver Stars and one Distinguished Service Cross

for covert operations. Mabus also said he plans to upgrade a small, unspecified number of Silver Stars to the Navy Cross, a move he can make unilaterally. Medal of Honor recommendations must be approved by the Defense secretary and the White House. The review was prompted by concerns raised in 2014 by thensecretary of Defense Chuck Hagel that criteria for the awards had evolved during wartime. Lack of combat experience, particularly early in the wars, “may have led to an initial reluctance to recommend members” for the Medal of Honor, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. From 2001 to 2010, each Medal of Honor award was made posthumously. The last one was awarded to

Special Warfare Chief Edward Byers for the dramatic rescue of an American hostage held by the Taliban in 2012. President Obama presented Byers with the medal in February. Mabus acknowledged that heroism, and how it was understood by battlefield commanders, has changed since the wars began in Iraq and Afghanistan. “I think the process is pretty stringent,” Mabus said. “I think it may have been a little too stringent early in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Brad Carson, who helped oversee the review as the top Pentagon personnel official, said the upgraded medals likely will be awarded to Navy SEALs who have been at the forefront of dangerous missions in the post-9/11 world. “It is extraordinarily important to properly recognize the valor of our service members,” Carson said. “Sometimes, in the heat of battle, we don’t always get it quite right. I’m proud that the review I directed has led to these changes, and I can’t speak highly enough of Secretary Mabus for making these changes that will mark forever the heroism of these sailors.” Carter is almost certain to accept Mabus’ recommendation, Carson said. The Air Force review of its top medals is not yet complete, said Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokeswoman. The Army was still reviewing its commendations for possible upgrades, said Lt. Col. Randy Taylor, an Army spokesman.

CHECKS AND BALANCES

Ryan said he is convinced, based on lengthy conversations with the president-elect, that Trump agrees with the view of Republicans in Congress that “Obama overreached dramatically with executive power, and we want to restore the separation of powers.” Asked whether he expects Trump to take a less expansive view of executive power than President Obama, Ryan said, “I do.” Ryan suggested that critics who fear an “authoritarian” Trump presidency are reacting to his “effective use of the bully pulpit” and overlooking his shared concern with GOP lawmakers over “Obama’s abuse of executive privilege and power.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Police shooting case ends in mistrial Jurors fail to reach verdict in murder trial of former officer who shot S.C. driver

John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

A South Carolina judge declared a mistrial Monday after jurors said they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the case of a white former North Charleston police officer charged with murder in the death of black motorist Walter Scott. The mistrial came a few hours after Circuit Judge Clifton Newman ordered jurors to continue deliberating. The jurors reported later that they were hopelessly unable to reach a consensus. The panel of one black and 11 white jurors deliberated about 22 hours over four days. Lawyers for Michael Slager sought a mistrial after jurors told Newman on Friday they were deadlocked because one holdout juror was unwilling to convict Slager. Jurors sent the judge a note Monday, saying most of the jurors were undecided. The jurors asked the judge several questions, including why Slager was charged with voluntary manslaughter in addition to murder. Slager could have spent the rest of his life in prison if convicted of murder. A voluntary manslaughter conviction could have

brought a sentence of two years to 30 years. Slager’s wife, Jamie, cried after the jurors were dismissed and briefly put her head on the bench in front of her. She said “thank you for everything” to the defense lawyers as they left the courtroom. She did not respond when reporters asked whether she wanted to comment. One female juror wiped away tears with her hands and a tissue as the attorneys addressed them and thanked them for their hours of work. Scott’s mother and brother said outside the courthouse that justice will eventually prevail. “I’m not sad because I know justice will be served,” Judy Scott said. Scott’s family called for peaceful protests. “We’re not going to tear up this city,” said Scott’s brother, Anthony. “We’re not happy. But we’re not sad.” Asked whether he could forgive Slager, Anthony Scott said he could “find the peace” to forgive the ex-officer but not before justice is served. “He gets to spend Christmas with his family,” he said of Slager. The jury asked whether the self-defense standard is the same for a police officer as it is for other people. Slager, 35, was near tears last

Slager said Scott attempted to we’re not wrest away the officer’s Taser, and sad.” Anthony Scott, brother of motorist who was killed

he shot Scott out of fear for his own life. A bystander’s cellphone video, which begins seconds before Slager started shooting, shows Scott fleeing as Slager fires eight shots. Scott was hit three times in the back, once in the buttocks and once on the ear. Outside the courthouse, pastors conducted a prayer vigil while they awaited a verdict in the trial. One man held a sign that read, “Justice for Walter Scott and his family NOW!” Slager was fired from the police force and charged with murder within days of the release of the cellphone video. He has been free since January on a $500,000 bond. Slager also awaits trial in federal court, charged with violating Scott’s rights, obstruction of justice and a gun violation. The city of North Charleston agreed to pay a $6.5 million settlement to the Scott family. Contributing: The Associated Press

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The stock market has been red-hot since Election Day. But one Wall Street pro says the market may be getting ahead of itself, arguing the U.S. equity market is overvalued by about 30%. So says James Abate, chief investment officer at Centre Asset Management. What investors are missing, he says, is that U.S. stocks, which had already been driven up to pricey valuations on the belief interest rates would stay “lower for longer,” now face headwinds from rising rates and an overly optimistic bounce-back in the pace of GDP and corporate earnings growth.

spiking to its highest level in a year, the new investment script calls for a sharp jump in profit growth to justify the market’s current frothiness. The problem is, with the business cycle now in its eighth year of recovery, it’s unlikely the economy and earnings can pick up enough speed no matter how growth-friendly policies of president-elect Donald Trump will be. Says Abate: “The market’s expecting 10% profit growth for the foreseeable future. The problem? The growth rates needed to justify stocks at current valuations are normally seen when we’re coming out of a recession. But we’re nowhere near that. We’re at the later stages of the business cycle.” While many of Trump’s policies will be good for the economy and for workers’ wages, “that doesn’t necessarily translate into a good stock market,” Abate says.

What Italy’s referendum vote means for the U.S. Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

When it comes to financial markets, what happens in Italy doesn’t necessarily stay in Italy. Sunday’s referendum “No” vote in Italy, which put the kibosh on a government-backed plan that would have made it easier to pass new laws designed to jumpstart Italy’s weak economy, was news that made its way to trading desks from Rome to Tokyo to Wall Street.

While the Italian rejection of its Prime Minister Matteo Renzi — who says he’ll resign after his reform overhaul was voted down — did not add up to a Brexit moment or a seismic market shock first seen when Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, it does inject fresh political and financial uncertainty into global markets. Italy became the latest developed country to vote against the status quo and reject the political establishment, continuing a wave of populism. Here’s what U.S. investors need

ANDREW GOMBERT, EPA

A trader works Monday at the New York Stock Exchange.

to know about the Italian vote: uWhy such a muted market reaction? Monday, the Dow

rose nearly 46 points to reach a record, and Italy’s main benchmark stock index closed down just 0.2% despite Italy’s “No” vote. Financial pros say the referendum result was already priced into markets and was anticipated by investors, unlike the shocking results in the Brexit and U.S. presidential votes. “It’s not an Armageddon event,” Paul Hickey of Bespoke Investment Group notes. uWhy should U.S. investors care? For starters, populism appears to be spreading. In the big picture, the Italian vote is

the latest sign that the postWorld War II world order is under assault. While the Italian referendum was not a vote on whether or not to stay in the EU, it emboldened the populistdriven 5 Star Movement in Italy. It also signals that the single-currency euro and 19-nation eurozone is in danger of being torn apart. Secondly, Italian banks in desperate need of fresh capital might have a tougher time getting a much-needed cash infusion from private investors, which could require a rescue at some point.

Theater geeks have plenty of reasons to sing this winter. While there has been no shortage of Broadway adaptations (Into the Woods, Les Misérables) and “jukebox” musicals (Pitch Perfect, Glee) this decade, rarely have so many projects with original songs hoofed it to the screen at once. Rachel Bloom’s musical dark comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend returned to CW in October, and Fox’s showbiz drama Star, created by Empire’s Lee Daniels, and Oscar hopeful La La Land are set to launch this month. La La Land (in theaters Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expands to additional cities Dec. 16) stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as young lovers struggling to achieve their artistic dreams in present-day L.A. Its joyous songand-dance numbers were cowritten by Justin Hurwitz, who tips his hat to old Hollywood musicals including An American In Paris and West Side Story. The biggest challenge was, “How can you be inspired by all these great things that you love, and try to do something new that feels modern and like its own thing?” Hurwitz says. Director Damien Chazelle “and I are students of these older movies and musicals, but I was personally not trying to watch those movies or listen to (their songs). I didn’t want to be emulating them.” On Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Fridays, 9 p.m. ET/PT), sending up classic musicals and music videos is one of the primary goals of Bloom, who writes and stars as a lovesick lawyer who follows her ex to California. So far in Season 2, she has lovingly — and raunchily — spoofed the Spice (FriendGirls topia), Singin’ In the Rain (We Tapped That A - - ), Marilyn Monroe (The Math of Love Triangles) and R. Kelly’s Trapped In the Closet (Stuck In the Bathroom). Some numbers are performed by characters who break into song midscene; others are shown as fantasy sequences or inner monologues. Songwriting begins two weeks before an episode films, during which

Crazy’s Rachel Bloom is in a musical mood.

Bloom and her team go through multiple drafts, learn choreography, record the songs and stage them. “From a writing perspective, the hardest thing to nail is the chorus of the song: What’s the joke?” Bloom says. “You’re trying to do songs that are earned from the moment and from the character, but they also have to be comedic. And just filming these musical numbers within a seven-day network (shooting schedule) is ambitious. It’s hard.” It’s a reality Daniels knows well from his soapy hip-hop drama Empire (Fox, Wednesdays, 9 p.m. ET/PT), whose original music in Season 3 has been overseen

by famed songwriters Rodney Jenkins and Ester Dean. With Star (premiering Dec. 14, 9 p.m. ET/PT), Daniels wanted a soundtrack “completely different” from Empire’s. “Music today is so synthesized and overproduced. I wanted it to sound like when I grew up, where the imperfections made them perfection.” To accomplish that, he hired Grammy-winning songwriter Johntá Austin to supervise the pop- and R&B-leaning music, performed by the fictitious aspiring girl group at the series’ heart. Tonally, Daniels compares the drama to Dreamgirls and Valley of the Dolls and believes it has the key ingredient of every successful modern musical: honest, multifaceted characters. “You have to see yourself in one of these girls,” he says. “Hopefully, (viewers) will.”

WASHINGTON Al Pacino, James Taylor and The Eagles were saluted Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors gala, but it was also quite a memorable evening for the Obamas. The evening marked the final Kennedy Center Honors they would attend as president and first lady, a tradition the couple has upheld annually throughout their eight years in office. The pair were seated in the balcony with the five recipients of the 39th annual national celebration of the arts: Academy Awardwinning actor Pacino, rock band The Eagles, Argentine pianist Martha Argerich, gospel and blues singer Mavis Staples and musician Taylor. Each honoree sported Kennedy Center Honors medallions, which they received Saturday at a State Department dinner hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry.

James Taylor, left, and The Eagles’ Don Henley were among the honorees Sunday night in Washington, D.C. and Ringo Starr were a handful of the stars on hand to toast the honorees and see the Obamas sing their arts gala swan song. “We are going to miss him so much,” singer Juanes said of Obama on the red carpet. There to perform for The Eagles’ tribute, he also performed two years ago when Carlos Santana was honored. Will he come back when Donald Trump will be filling the president’s seat in the balcony? “No,” he said, “I don’t think so.” It wasn’t long before the political jokes commenced. In his opening line, host Stephen Colbert welcomed distinguished

guests, politicians, diplomats and “endangered swamp dwellers.” Colbert said the country has been lucky to have a leader who is “passionate, intelligent and dignified,” which drew cheers and a standing ovation from the crowd. Colbert joked: “Sir, I don’t know why you stood up, I was talking about Michelle.” Taylor’s tribute was up first, with a surprise guest: Bill Clinton, who spoke fondly of “my friend of many years.” “The wisdom behind that unbelievable voice is hard-earned,” noted Clinton, referring to Taylor’s previous struggles with addiction.

Darius Rucker performed a medley of Taylor classics, including Sweet Baby James and Carolina in My Mind. Sheryl Crow took to the stage to sing his hit Fire and Rain — and Obama could be seen singing along. Garth Brooks, who is such a fan of the singer that he named his daughter Taylor, sang Shower the People and How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You). Crow and Rucker joined in on the latter, drawing the crowd to its feet. Calling Pacino a “cultural icon,” Kevin Spacey did his best impression of the actor and tried to teach the audience to do the same. The reason, Spacey said, people do impressions of Pacino is because “he has created characters that are unforgettable.” Finally, it was time to honor The Eagles, including Glenn Frey, who died Jan. 18. The group was set to receive the honor in 2015 but delayed it because of Frey’s declining health. “Well done, boys, and peace and love to everybody,” said Ringo Starr. He introduced the Kings of Leon, who played Take It Easy. Bob Seger rocked out to Heartache Tonight, and Juanes nailed a rendition of Hotel California. The Honors Gala will air as a two-hour special Dec. 27 on CBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Dear Annie: Years ago, we were friends with a beautiful young lady and her husband. He passed away several years ago, and she has never been the same since. Even though she is so beautiful on the outside, she is extremely jealous, and her insecurity shows through in a ridiculous manner, making her a very ugly person. She currently has a live-in boyfriend. One morning about a year ago, my husband and I wished her boyfriend “happy birthday” in a text. She saw this message and threw a fit. She smeared me on social media, saying I’m a horrible person. Her boyfriend sent us a message saying he knows she’s “crazy,” and he apologized for her behavior. Honestly, I just look

Kate gets ill on NBC’s ‘This is Us’ “This Is Us” (8 p.m., NBC) ‘‘celebrates’’ its first Christmas episode with a trip to the hospital after Kate comes down with appendicitis. This talky drama has done well for NBC so far. It should be interesting to see where it lands when it no longer has a boost from ‘‘The Voice.’’ Meanwhile, “Bull” (8 p.m., CBS) has emerged as the most-watched new drama of the season. That, in spite of a fairly charmless central character. According to CBS, ‘‘Kevin Can Wait’’ is also the mostwatched new comedy of the season. That, in spite of, well, just about everything. Their success demonstrates that CBS is still the most popular network with audiences in the habit of watching TV in the old-fashioned sense. Other networks rely on delayed viewing and tabulating audiences as they “consume” media in all of the myriad ways now available. O Speaking of old-fashioned television, “Barbara Walters Presents” (7 p.m., ID) enters its second season with a glance at scandals past. “Gary Hart and Donna Rice: The Scandal that Changed History” examines the brash behavior of the front-runner for the 1988 Democratic nomination, a man who dared the press to scrutinize his private life and then got much more than he bargained for. O “I Bought a Rainforest” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) follows wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton James, who purchased 100 acres of Peruvian rainforest without giving it much thought. He figured his plot would save at least a piece of the wild from destruction. But this was no ‘‘Green Acres.’’ His neighbors included illegal loggers, miners and cattle ranchers who did not cotton to his idealism. O During the darkest days of the Cultural Revolution, Chinese intellectuals considered less than enthusiastic about Chairman Mao’s flavor of Communism were sent to the countryside for hard labor in “re-education” camps. A kinder, gentler variation on this theme emerges in most Hallmark movies. Lori Loughlin and Colin Ferguson star in the 2016 romance “Every Christmas Has a Story” (7 p.m., Hallmark). After a hot mic moment catches her blurting out disdain for the holiday’s cheap sentiment, a TV personality is sent out to the hinterlands to produce a Christmas special and mend fences with her audience. Naturally, this move changes her attitude and her life. Tonight’s other highlights

Columbia, Mo. (ap) — The firm that helped the University of Missouri system find a new president also will lead the search for a permanent chancellor on the Columbia campus, the university announced Monday. The system plans to conduct a national search for the permanent chancellor, led by the Bostonbased search firm of Isaacson, Miller, which worked with the Missouri Board of Curators to hire Mun Choi as new system president. Choi, a University of Connecticut provost, was

consulted about the search decision, interim president Michael Middleton said in a news release. Hank Foley, who has been interim chancellor on the Columbia campus, issued a statement Monday saying he would like to be considered for the permanent chancellor job. Foley replaced former chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, who resigned last November after student protests amid racial tension on the Columbia campus. Choi replaces Tim Wolfe, who resigned as president after the protests.

“Dr. Choi has made it clear that establishing permanent leadership at MU is an early priority of his presidency,” Middleton said. “(Monday) we will begin the process of selecting the next great leader of MU by launching a national search which is the customary approach for a prestigious public, landgrant AAU institution.” The university system plans to form a search committee in the near future. The committee will recommend finalists for the chancellor job to Choi, who becomes president March 1.

Foley said in his statement that it is his “hope to continue serving as chancellor” but he supported the decision to conduct a national search. “The team we’ve built to lead Missouri’s premier public university is strong and uniquely positioned to continue to move MU in the right direction,” Foley said. “The opportunity to work alongside our tremendous faculty, staff and students — to grow research, seek new funding models and improve our best-in-class programs — is an honor I’d cherish.”

Low vision therapy makes life more navigable By Jocelyn Rietcheck

he three leading causes of irreversible vision loss in adults in the United States are macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Macular degeneration reduces your central visual field and can make reading and close work difficult. Glaucoma reduces peripheral or side vision, causing increased risk of falling.

Diabetic retinopathy causes scattered, spotty areas of vision loss. People with diabetic retinopathy may have problems seeing contrasts and have poor color discrimination and night vision. They may also experience double vision or fluctuations in vision resulting from changes in blood glucose levels.

You may know someone with low vision Mary B. was diagnosed

with macular degeneration, and now finds that not only is she unable to engage in her favorite hobbies, embroidery and crochet, but is now struggling to cut up foods for meal preparation and to turn on the stove burners correctly. This has

resulted in a few minor burns, and she has experienced a couple of falls in the dimly lit areas of her home. Harold E. has diabetes, and has been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy. He has found it increasingly difficult to independently read his bank statement and write checks due to impaired vision. He finds it very difficult to read medication and food labels. He is frustrated that he cannot

manage these activities for himself. Both of these people have been very independent and don’t wish to ask family members to help them perform tasks they had been accustomed to doing with ease. Mary and Harold are both challenged in their daily routine due to reduced or low vision. People with low vision find it difficult to solve these basic problems because > THERAPY, 3C

Gradual loss of independence with low vision Tasks such as meal preparation, money management, self-care, shopping, laundry and negotiating public spaces are often significantly impaired with low vision. Daily routines that were once done easily and quickly can become challenging, frustrating and time consuming. Applying toothpaste, seasoning foods, setting dials on appliances, shopping, and reading labels and recipes are commonly impaired by vision loss.

Challenges and needs Therapy offers a way to tackle some of the everyday problems that are slowing you down. An occupational

therapist will: 1. Assess your challenges and needs: Do you have trouble reading fine print? Do you have problems with using a computer due to your vision? 2. Formulate goals and strategies to address each problem: Therapy focuses on how you can maximize your remaining vision. You may need to use optical devices like a magnifying glass, change the lighting in your kitchen or change the contrast color of your work surface. 3. Recommend simple home modifications: The therapist will make recommendations for simple changes at home, which may include reducing the glare of overhead lighting or labeling hardto-read controls on the stove. Reading skills also

will be assessed by the occupational therapist and intervention provided to improve ease in reading and writing. A doctor’s prescription for occupational therapy must be obtained prior to starting low vision therapy. You can discuss a therapy order with your optometrist, ophthalmologist, neurologist or your primary care doctor. If you have questions or would like more information about low vision therapy, call LMH Therapy Services at 785505-2712. — Jocelyn Rietcheck is an occupational therapist at LMH Therapy Services. She specializes in low vision therapy and has been a local practicing OT for more than 30 years. Lawrence Memorial Hospital is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

Developed for people with severe to profound hearing loss, Oticon Dynamo hearing aids fill in the missing speech details so that you understand more and can stay in the conversation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a frank self-assessment Monday of its campaign to focus on certain health problems, an effort it called “winnable battles.” Although there have been clear successes in areas like smoking and teen pregnancy, other areas have seen little change or even gotten worse.

12-319.4.37 Small Scale Industrial Uses A small scale industrial use is an industrial use that is of such a scale as to be compatible with nearby land uses, while maintaining the rural character of the area. a. Small Scale Industrial Uses permitted as Conditional Uses include establishments primarily engaged in on-site production or assembly of goods by hand manufacturing involving the use of hand tools and small-scale equipment. Typical uses include: 1) On-site production of goods by hand or artistic endeavor; 2) Placement of digital or analog information on a physical or electronic medium; 3) Light manufacturing, predominately from previously prepared materials, of finished products or parts, provided the noise, light, smell, or vibration does not extend beyond the site; 4) Research of an industrial or biotechnical nature; 5) Food Production, such as a bakery or a meat processing facility with no on-site slaughter; 6) Moving picture production such as movies, videos, and television; and 7) Similar small scale industrial uses which do not create any more danger to health and safety in surrounding areas and which do not create any more offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, lint, odors, heat, or glare that which is generally associated with light industrial uses of the type specifically permitted. b. Standards to maintain consistency with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for Industrial uses and to insure compatibility with nearby land uses and the character of the area are listed below: 1) Small Scale Industrial uses are permitted as Conditional Uses only on properties that are zoned A (Agricultural) or V-C (Valley Channel). 2) The proposed use shall be located primarily outside of the regulatory floodplain. 3) Vegetative cover and wildlife habitat on the site shall be preserved, along with other environmentally sensitive areas to act as buffers and site amenities. 4) The site shall have adequate utilities, infrastructure, and services for the proposed use. 5) The total square footage of all buildings used in the operation and storage shall not exceed 10,000 sq. ft. unless a larger area is approved by the Board of County Commissioners. 6) The establishment may employ up to 15 full-time equivalent non-resident employees, as defined in Section 12-303-1.65. 7) All business activity shall be conducted within the structure with no outdoor storage of materials or product. 8) Parking spaces for all employees and loading areas must be provided on the site. No loading activity or parking is to occur on the adjacent roadway. 9) The use does not require Federal air quality discharge permits. 10) The use shall not generate offensive off-site external effects (such as noise, glare, vibrations, etc.). 11) The site shall be located on a full maintenance public road. a) Traffic information shall be provided, as requested by the County Engineer, to insure the suitability of the adjacent roads to handle the anticipated traffic to be generated by the use. b) Improvements to the access point to meet current standards, or roadway improvements needed due to traffic generated by the use, or spacing of access drives, all as identified by the County Engineer, shall be required as part of the Conditional Use. c) The property must, at a minimum, meet the Access Management Standards for residential properties. 12) Exterior lighting associated with the use shall be limited. The Conditional Use site plan shall show the location of proposed exterior lighting with the height noted. Lighting spec sheets shall be provided with the plans to illustrate the means taken to eliminate glare. Full cut-off fixtures shall be provided; however, low level lighting (less than 2,600 lumens or 150 watt incandescent bulb) does not require full cut-off fixtures. 13) New structures for the use should be of a type that is common to the rural area, rather than industrial, to maintain the rural character of the area. 14) No shift work/24 hour a day businesses shall be permitted. Business shall operate with defined working hours. II. Addition to the Zoning Regulations. The Text Amendments made by this Resolution shall be as a supplement to the Zoning Regulations, as codified in Chapter 12, Article 3 of the Douglas County Code. III. Invalidity. If any section, clause, sentence or phrase of Resolution of the Text Amendments adopted hereby is found to be unconstitutional or is otherwise held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the validity of any remaining parts of this Resolution or the Text Amendments adopted hereby, as the case may be. IV. Repeal. The Zoning Regulations heretofore adopted that are in conflict with this Text Amendments are amended, repealed, or replaced, as the case may be, to be consistent with the Text Amendments adopted hereby. V. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Board and its publication once in the office County newspaper. ADOPTED this 30th day of November, 2016

‘‘

But the thing that we always knew, even from the first day I met him, was that he had a passion to win.”

— Former ORU walk-on James Kruse of Self in his early coaching days

A victory over UMKC tonight would mark the 600th win of Bill Self’s career By Matt Tait

efore the 2008 national championship, the Big 12 title streak, the 210 wins at Allen Fieldhouse and the 599 career coaching victories at four different stops, there was James Kruse, Earl McClellan and a whole bunch of Oral Roberts Golden Eagles just like them. Those were the names on the roster of Bill Self’s first college basketball team back in 1993-94. And those are the men who, all these years later, will tell you how amazed they are that a victory tonight over UMKC — 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse — will give their former coach his 600th of all-time. It’s not that they didn’t think Self could coach. More that, for a 28-year-old, unproven leader handling the reins of a college program for the first time in his life, Self was not exactly the same coach Kansas fans have come to know and love today. “He was so green at that time and he didn’t know what he was doing in a lot of ways,” said former ORU guard James Kruse in an interview with the Journal-World on Monday. “But the thing that we always knew, even from the first day I met him, was that he had a passion to win. He would try anything and everything, and he was the master, even back then, of finding where guys fit to give us the best chance to win.” It did not always work out so well. After going > SELF, 3D

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF YELLS in the second half of the Jayhawks’ 79-63 win over the Maryland Terrapins on March 24 in an NCAA Sweet 16 matchup at the KFC Yum Center in Louisville, Ky.

Burnout still nowhere in sight for Self

arring an upset, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self will earn his 600th victory in his 789th game, tonight vs. UMKC at Allen Fieldhouse, and will become the ninth-fastest in college basketball history to reach the milestone, per the NCAA Records Book.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Consider the eight names who reached it more quickly and then ask yourself what they have in common with each other, but not with Self. For those who can’t come up with it,

mtait@ljworld.com

I’ll put the answer later in this column. The Fastest-to-600 Club (schools, games it took to reach the milestone): 1 — Adolph Rupp (Kentucky, 704), 2 — Jerry Tarkanian (Long Beach State, UNLV, 720), 3 — Roy Williams (Kansas, North Carolina, 739), 4 — John Wooden (Indiana State, UCLA, 755), 5 — Dean Smith (North Carolina, 773), 6 — John Calipari (Massachusetts, Memphis, Kentucky, 776), 7 — Henry Iba (Northwest Missouri State, Colorado, Oklahoma State, 777), 8 — Phog Allen (Baker, Haskell, Central Missouri, Kansas) 780. Self, 53, shows no signs of slowing down, brings the same intensity to the job as ever, and always manages to keep burnout far from invading his space.

“I don’t think it’s been hard yet,” he said of keeping burnout at bay. “Roy did it for 15 years and then he left here and went to a place that’s just as competitive as it is here, so he’s been doing it for 28 years.” Not that it’s an easy job without its relentless stress points. “We have lived in the fast lane at Illinois and here, so it’s been a very competitive, adventurefilled, restless run, so to speak,” Self said. “But I don’t think the candle’s anywhere close to burning out. It may not shine quite as bright as it did 15 years ago, but certainly it still is something that burns inside for all of us, whether it be KT (assistant Kurtis Townsend) or myself or

Ballock scores 29, Eudora boys basketball moves to 2-0

David Hornberger recorded 12 points (6-of-6 shooting), while sophomore Rock Jerome scored 11 (4-of-6), all of which came in the final period. “(Jerome) stepped up,” Ballock said. “He’s young and he’s still getting comfortable into the new role. He hasn’t played varsity

in forever so this is good. He’s a good finisher around the rim. But he really took the pressure off on offense.” Ballock opened the game as if he was looking to repeat his 41-point performance. The Creighton signee knocked down 5 of his first 7 shots

— including four in a row — to open the first quarter with 11 points. As a result, EHS stormed out to an early lead. After the Patriots scored the game’s first bucket, the Cardinals (2-0) scored 13 unanswered points. Their lead would increase to 21-6 by the end of the opening period.

“We want to win (the tournament),” Ballock said. “We just started here and got the ‘W’, no matter if it’s an ugly win or not. Just get the win and keep moving on. Hopefully we can pick it up on defense tomorrow and play the whole 32 minutes and get us to the championship.” Ballock was then unable to hit a single one of his seven attempts in the second quarter. He only hit a pair of field goals in the third on the same number of attempts, which left a tall task for a number of young Eudora players, who are just getting their first real look at the varsity level. Junior Noah Katzenmeier bottomed a pair of treys over that span, while sophomore Jayden Pierce hit a couple shots. In the meantime, the defense held its own to maintain the double-digit advantage. “We have a lot of kids getting their first meaningful minutes of varsity,” Deterding said. “I told the guys it’s going to take a while to find our identity and what we can do and

And those kids did. I mean, they played great.

But the thing that “I would’ve thought stood out most to Kruse, 600 losses would be the when thinking back deal instead of wins,” about that victory, was Self joked Monday. “I not who scored what or thought if we could just even the opponent or get back to .500 it would final score — 78-66 over be a remarkable trait.

Nov. 26, 1993 — but the fact that it came in much the same fashion that so many of the 598 wins that have followed it. “I remember going into the locker room thinking we just got our first W in college basketball as a group,” Kruse recalled. “I just remember thinking, ‘We did it. We got win No. 1. That’s what it looked like, that’s what it felt like, let’s go on to No. 2.’ And he’s at 600 now. “But it really was never about him. Even from Game 1, he just wanted to win. And I think one thing that helped was that, early on, he had a group of guys that that’s all we wanted, too. In a lot of ways it was the perfect combination to launch a coaching career and a successful four years with us. It was a bunch of guys who had nothing to lose and it just played into creating this pure essence of basketball.” Self’s teams have delivered plenty of pure

basketball moments in the years since that initial victory. And although the national title victory in 2008 or Final Four wins in 2008 and 2012 were easy answers to the question about which victories stood out most, Self pointed to four good nights at Kansas as, what he called, his team’s most gutsy regular season wins. The first was last year’s triple-overtime victory over Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse. Another win over Oklahoma, this time a 17-point comeback in Norman, also made the list. And KU’s come-from-behind home win over West Virginia without Perry Ellis to clinch the Big 12 title in 2015 also landed in that category. “But the win, at least at Kansas, that trumps everything,” Self said, “is the Missouri win (in 2012), when you’re down 19 in the second half to a Top 5 team in the country and have the wherewithall and the fan

support to come back and win that one.” Whether it takes that kind of effort to pick up win No. 600 or something else entirely remains to be seen. And there are, of course, no guarantees that the win will come tonight. KU senior Frank Mason III knows that. But he did say that being a part of the milestone victory will mean a lot to him whenever it comes. As for whether he had anything planned for a celebration in the locker room, Mason delivered an honest answer. “Well, you just gave me an idea,” he joked before Monday’s practice. “I’ll get with the guys and hopefully we’ll figure a way out to celebrate, if we play the way we’re supposed to and come out with the victory. We’ll come up with something.” For Self, the celebration has been ongoing and a career that is now in its 24th year only appears to be picking up

Eudora — It’s not always easy for Eudora senior Mitchell Ballock to measure up to such lofty expectations. Which is why Monday’s 29-point effort to lead Eudora over Truman (Mo.), 74-64, left a little to be desired. Especially given that it came just a few days after Ballock dropped 41 points in a win over Spring Hill to open the season. “For a normal person, that wouldn’t have been that much struggling,” coach Kyle Deterding said. “For him, he did miss those shots he usually makes. But he’s involved in so many other ways. Even when his shots aren’t falling he’s such a huge part of what we are trying to get done.” But Ballock (9-of-25 from the floor) still did what he needed to do to lead his team to a win at Eudora High in the first round of the Paola Invitational. Ballock got his teammates involved, as two fellow Cardinals netted double figures. Senior

who is going to do what.” Truman made a late surge in the final quarter of play, trimming the deficit to below 11 for the first time since the opening minutes. However, the margin never got closer than eight, as Jerome and Ballock scored a combined 20 of the team’s 22 points in the final period. “(Jerome) finished a couple of those,” Deterding said. “There is going to be opportunities for guys to get some open looks. Brock took advantage of it. It’s nice to see him go up and make those.” EHS will travel to Paola at 6:30 p.m. today to take on Olathe Northwest.

steam. He may never get to the mark set by Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (1,051 wins and counting), but, as has been true throughout his career, the only thing that seems to matter to Self is winning the next one. “I’m not gonna get the least bit nostalgic on you,” Self said. “But it has been a fun run with a lot of great kids and a ton of great players and great staffs. But when you’re at a place like this, you should win. So I don’t think we should get too carried away about that. But it has been an awfully fun ride.” And it’s a ride that continues, both for Self and just about anybody else who has been a part of it along the way. “I can’t wait,” Kruse said of tonight’s UMKC game. “Me and my family watch all of the KU games and I think we’re gonna get like an ice cream sundae and celebrate with him from far away.”

Eudora girls basketball falls to St. James SCOREBOARD By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Eudora — Eudora High’s girls basketball coach Richard Ebel knew he had his work cut out for him when he glanced up at the scoreboard late in the first quarter and a goose-egg shined brightly on the home side. EHS was held off the scoreboard for the first seven-plus minutes before ultimately falling to St. James, 47-33, in the opening round of the Eudora Invitational. In fact, the Cardinals did not record their first field goal until 35 seconds to go in the first quarter, when sophomore Emily Watson drained a bucket. Her basket snapped a 13-0 run by the Thunder to open the game. “We didn’t give the offense a chance,” Ebel said. “We didn’t get into a flow. Our shot selection wasn’t very good and then they got some runouts on us. We have some good shooters, we just didn’t shoot well.” But Eudora (1-1) did not go away following a lopsided first quarter in Monday’s matchup. Instead, EHS was able to stay somewhat

After being outscored by double-digits in the first period, the Cardinals were only outscored once over the next three quarters. “We came back a little bit and had it within 11,” Ebel said. “We relaxed a little bit. But we couldn’t stay consistent. We

couldn’t do it three or four times down.” Freshman Riley Hiebert led the way offensively, scoring 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Hiebert has now scored in double figures in each of her first two games of her high school career. Afterward, Hiebert admitted she is still trying to adjust to the varsity level. “I did some things

THREE KEYS FOR KANSAS

1 23

A couple of double-digit victories last week over teams from California proved to be enough for the Associated Press voters to move the Kansas men’s basketball team up a spot in this week’s AP Poll. The Jayhawks, who sit at 7-1 overall and on a seven-game winning streak after dropping the season opener to Indiana, are now No. 3 in the poll, behind only Villanova at No. 1 and UCLA at No. 2. The Jayhawks’ rise to the No. 3 spot puts Kansas in the same place in the poll that it opened the 2016-17 season. The Bruins rose an incredible nine spots to slide into the No. 2 spot after knocking off Kentucky in Lexington last Saturday. Baylor, which remains unbeaten and on an absolute tear so far this season, jumps into the Top 5 thanks to an impressive beating of No. 7 Xavier. The Bears (80) jumped five spots from last week’s poll and also received six of the 65 available first-place votes. Villanova (57) and UCLA (2) received the remaining first-place votes.

(assistant) Norm (Roberts), people who have been here a long time. We still have that burning desire to get back and make another run at it.” The answer to the question of what the Fastestto-600 Club members have that Self does not: Each of the eight coaches has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Self has not. Just sayin’.

Defend the three

Be ready for multiple looks

KU coach Bill Self said the thing that impressed him most about UMKC’s team was its offensive freedom. The Roos shot 34 3-pointers in their most recent game and are shooting .430 from 3-point range for the season. The UMKC offense features six players (minimum 10 attempts) that are shooting .423 or better from 3-point range this season. KU senior Frank Mason III said that was the thing that jumped out to him the most when doing a little scouting of his own on KU’s next opponent. “They’ve got a lot of guys that like to shoot the 3-point shot,” Mason said. “They compete a lot, they’ve got a good coach and we’re looking forward to the game.”

Before landing at UMKC, Roos head coach Kareem Richardson spent one year (2012-13) in the Louisville program, coaching with Rick Pitino. Richardson also has stops at Xavier, Drake, Evansville, Wright State and Indiana State on his assistant coaching resume. Although Self made sure to point out that one year with Pitino did not mean that Richardson has tried to make UMKC a Louisville clone, it did at least force him to take a refresher course on what Pitino does to make sure his team was prepared for anything.

MEGA MATCHUP UMKC’s LaVell Boyd vs. KU’s backcourt depth With senior guard and Kansas City native Martez Harrison still suspended for the Kansas game, a big portion of the pressure to carry the UMKC offense will fall on guard LaVell Boyd, a 6-foot, 180-pound senior from Chicago who leads the Roos in scoring (19.1 ppg) and ranks 22nd nationally in 3-pointers made (28) and 35th

nationally in total points (172). The Jayhawks have the luxury of throwing multiple defenders at Boyd, from 5-foot-11 Mason and 6-2 Devonté Graham to 6-5 wing Lagerald Vick and even 6-8 freshman Josh Jackson. The last time the Jayhawks faced a similar situation, they held Georgia leading scorer J.J. Frazier, a 5-10 senior guard, to two points on 1-of-10 shooting in an 11-point Kansas win. — Matt Tait

Free throws, free throws, free throws

During last weekend’s win over Stanford, KU’s struggles from the free-throw line (.598 as a team so far this season) continued, as the Jayhawks knocked down just 13 of 22 attempts in the 15-point win. Self said after the game that he was not going to make a big deal about the free-throw woes because he did not want the issue to become something even more mental than it already was. But on Monday he elaborated a little. “We’re not gonna work on it much,” he admitted. “The reality of it is, we’re a 70 percent freethrow shooting team and I’m sure stats will play out that way over time. But we’re not a great freethrow shooting team.” — Matt Tait

JAYHAWK PULSE The Jayhawks have been in a bit of a holding pattern of late, with the guards carrying the team to seven consecutive victories and the big men still trying to find themselves. Like it or not, that approach has worked — thanks in part to Self’s coaching and also to the tremendous talent of KU’s backcourt — but in order to ensure that his team is ready for the rigors of Big 12 play (which tips off 24 days from today), Self wants more. The Jayhawks still have plenty of areas in which they can improve, with low-post play, consistent re-

bounding and free throw shooting being at or near the top of the list. With just four tune-ups remaining before Big 12 play (counting tonight), the opportunity to fine tune and fix these concerns is running low. “We’re gonna get better,” Self said. “I really think, starting next week and then over the course of Christmas, we’ve got a chance to really try to get better, doing some things that we haven’t really put in the two-hour practices to date because of our schedule.” — Matt Tait
