Incentives for condo project rejected

Pearl Harbor survivor reflects —

75 years ago, vet was aboard USS Maryland

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

Going against an outside consultant’s recommendation, the Lawrence City Commission voted not to provide public incentives for a luxury condominium project downtown. The commissioners who CITY voted against the incentives COMMISSION — Lisa Larsen, Matthew Herbert and Leslie Soden — said the mixed-use commercial and residential development didn’t provide enough public benefit to warrant incentives. “I think each of us has to determine what’s the public good,” Larsen said.

Complex events surrounding Pearl Harbor have “contemporary resonance” as the United States faces unsettled relations among Pacific nations, said Bailey, a Foundation Distinguished Professor of history who directs KU’s new Center for Military, War and Society Studies. “It’s a moment where many people’s lives were lost. It’s a moment that launches the United States to become a key player in an ongoing war

“We definitely are going to get a taste of winter as far as temperatures are concerned,” she said. “(Today’s) high will be below freezing, with a high of 31 degrees in Lawrence.” Tonight and Thursday morning will be even colder, Heller said, with the temperature bottoming out in the low teens and wind chills at or below zero. She said the winds accompanying the front will be relatively light, however, which will keep the wind chill from diving lower. The front also could

Herbert compared the project with similar condominiums in the city such as Hobbs Taylor Lofts and Bella Sera Condominiums, pointing out that those projects were not incentivized. Unlike those projects, the downtown proposal included an affordable housing unit, but Herbert said the condos weren’t the “workforce housing” the city was looking for. “Downtown condos are not workforce housing, so I struggle to find the public good,” Herbert said. The one-bedroom condominium would have

in which millions die. It’s a very powerful symbolic moment,” Bailey said. “Pearl Harbor as the focus also hides many of the ongoing power struggles that were taking place.” The world also will be watching later this month when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to become the first Japanese leader to visit Pearl Harbor since the attack. He and President Barack Obama are scheduled to appear there Dec. 26 and Dec. 27. In May, Obama became the first sitting U.S. President to visit Hiroshima since the United States dropped an atomic bomb

on the city in 1945. Bailey said Abe’s planned visit, too, presents a simplistic picture of two nations reconciling and accepting the tragedy of past events. “It’s an important symbolic moment, but it also in some ways treats the conflict primarily as a war between the United States and Japan, and it was in fact a much broader conflict,” she said. Shortly before 8 a.m. on Dec. 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 2,000 Americans died in the attack, and more than

Battle of Midway. Muirhead remained on the Maryland — changing to a turret officer after the ship was equipped with radar, manning 16-inch guns with 2,000-pound shells, he said — until he entered Navy flight training in 1943. After a 24-year career with the Navy, Muirhead got out as a commander in 1961, he said. That year, he went to work for the University of Kansas, where he was a professor of aerospace engineering until retiring in 1989. He was chairman of the department for 12 years. His wife, Bobby Muirhead, died in 2013, just short of what would have been the couple’s 70th wedding anniversary. He now lives with his daughter, Sherry Muirhead — an avid war history buff herself.

1,000 were wounded. On Dec. 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war on Japan. Bailey said most Americans probably do not realize that also in the hours following Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island — and captured them. “Pearl Harbor is important because it was the proximate cause of the United States going to war, and it effectively joined two ongoing major regional conflicts into a global war,” she said. “It wasn’t only an attack on Pearl Harbor, but also on a range of colonial pos-

sessions throughout the Pacific.” Tensions had built for years, including those driven by Japan’s ongoing war against China, related U.S. economic embargoes and World War II in Europe. Bailey said that though not on Hawaii, a Japanese attack in the Pacific had been anticipated. “Its important that we look as scholars and citizens at the factors that led to war and the ways the war was conducted, especially in a period where there are great tensions in the Pacific world and the Pacific Asian world,” Bailey said.

bring the season’s first measurable snowfall, Heller said. Although computer models differ, there is a possibility an inch of snow could fall today in Lawrence, she said. Temperatures will remain cold on Thursday and Friday, with afternoon highs from the mid- to high 20s and zero to subzero wind chills returning Thursday night. Temperatures are forecast to bounce back to the low 40s Saturday, but the chance of snow will return Saturday night and early Sunday morning, Heller said. The National Weather Service doesn’t issue wind chill advisories until the wind chill falls below minus 15 degrees, but Heller did advise that those out in

the cold be aware of conditions, keep their skin covered and carry emergency kits in their cars. Kimberly Qualls, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said KDOT, too, encourages Kansans to have winter weather kits in their homes and cars. A home kit should include a three-day water supply, a nonperishable high-energy food, extra blankets, a flashlight with extra batteries, some alternative heat source for the home and extra medications, Qualls said. A car kit should have a shovel, a windshield scraper and broom, a tow rope, road salt and sand, booster cables and extra hats, socks, and mittens.

Motorists should plan extra time for trips and keep at least half a tank of fuel in vehicles in case they get stranded, Qualls said. They are also reminded to make sure their vehicles are winter-ready by replacing worn windshield wipers, filling windshield washer reservoirs and checking that tires have adequate tread, she said. Kansas residents can get updated road and weather conditions by calling KDOT’s 511 information line or by visiting kandrive.org to view frequently updated snapshots of highways taken by 150 cameras across the state, including ones placed at the West Lawrence/Interstate 70 toll booth and the Kansas Highway 10 bridge

over the Wakarusa River east of Lawrence. The cameras that were placed at select Lawrence intersections to provide updated snapshots of weather and traffic conditions were taken down after last winter so that the city could perform maintenance tasks, said Todd Lohman, traffic operations supervisor for the city of Lawrence. They are now in possession of the city’s IT department, and should be re-installed in the next two weeks, he said. Once the cameras are operational, photos can be viewed at lawrenceks.org/traffic-cams.

been sold for about $95,000 — the market value of the property is estimated at about $246,785 — and designed as an affordable housing unit in perpetuity. The approximately $9.3 million project would have included twelve condominiums total, as well as commercial and office space at 800-815 Vermont St., which is currently a vacant lot. The five-story project would also have added an underground parking garage with parking spaces for the building’s residents. Former City Commissioner Bob Schumm has owned at least part of the property since the 1980s, and is behind the development. Schumm planned to use one of the condos as his personal residence.

Soden took particular issue with Schumm’s plans to live in the building. “When you’re going to live there and occupy probably most of one whole floor, I think that the project does not merit incentives,” Soden said. The commission’s vote went against various recommendations. The Affordable Housing Advisory Board and the Public Incentives Review Committee both recommended incentives for the project, as did city staff and an outside consultant. City staff and the consultant based their recommendations on a costbenefit and “but for” gap analysis, which indicated the incentives agreement would benefit the city financially and that incen-

tives were required for the project to go forward as proposed. Cost-benefit analysis showed a 1.78 ratio for the city, meaning for every $1 in public incentives, $1.78 of benefit value would be returned. City Manager Tom Markus told commissioners he supported the project and that he thought incentives decisions should be made based on the metrics. The votes in favor of providing incentives — from Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Stuart Boley — both noted that the project was an investment in downtown. In addition, Boley also cited the additional revenue that would be generated for the city. “The dollars to me

make sense on this one,” Boley said. “We can invest in downtown, we can invest in optimized revenue streams — and the community benefits.” The developer of the project sought two forms of incentives: Neighborhood Revitalization Act and Industrial Revenue Bonds. Together, the incentives would have had a value of about $1.3 million, according to a city analysis. Schumm indicated that without the incentives, he would likely only go forward with the two ground floors of the project, which will house the commercial and office space. In other business, the commission: l Voted to downgrade

Accident report shows what may have happened in Ninth St. fatality By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The man hit and killed by a car Friday evening was likely crossing West Ninth Street improperly and wearing difficult-tosee clothing at the time, police say. Both factors apparently contributed to the

accident, according to a Lawrence Police Department report. Just before 9:30 p.m. Friday, 58-year-old Bruce Coburn, of Lawrence, was walking southbound near the intersection of West Ninth and Illinois streets when he was hit by a black Volvo that was headed

east on West Ninth, the report says. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures on Coburn before he was pronounced dead at the scene. A diagram in the accident report pictures Coburn crossing West Ninth Street between Illinois and Mississippi

streets. In another section of the report, the investigating officer indicated that he believed Coburn had been crossing the street improperly and wearing dark or otherwise hard-to-see clothing. The driver of the Volvo, 26, was neither arrested nor cited at the

scene, the report indicates. He was tested for impairment, and those test results are pending. Police have not released the identity of the driver. Coburn was a longtime office assistant with the University of Kansas Libraries. On Monday both KU

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Dean of KU Libraries Kevin L. Smith acknowledged Coburn’s contributions to KU and offered their condolences to his family and friends. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

LAWRENCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

District: Privacy concerns drove actions on resignation By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district has now acknowledged that it chose not to identify the employee whose resignation was accepted last week because of confidentiality concerns and not because it was prohibited by law from publicly identifying the employee. Since the beginning of 2016, the district has named more than 300 people who resigned, but has so far declined to name the employee whose resignation the school board publicly accepted and announced at its Nov. 28 meeting. In a recent email exchange with the Journal-World, the district’s executive director of human resources and legal counsel, David Cunningham, told the newspaper that exceptions within the Kansas Open Records Act “do not prohibit us from releasing documents, but gives us the discretion not to.” That explanation is a departure from what he told the Journal-World

‘‘

(Exceptions within the Kansas Open Records Act) do not prohibit us from releasing documents, but gives us the discretion to do so.” — David Cunningham, the district’s executive director of human resources and legal counsel

on Nov. 29, when Cunningham indicated that his and others’ hands were tied, so to speak, by unspecified statutes. “The fact is that statutes protect the confidentiality of staff and students, and I can’t share that information. Sometimes that puts me at a disadvantage. It leaves people wondering, ‘What exactly happened here?’” Cunningham said at the time. “But I can’t overcome that challenge simply because I’m a public entity. I’m still bound by confidentiality rules.” Cunningham later clarified his position in an email to the JournalWorld, saying that the district “makes its best efforts not to release personnel information except as required by the law.” Thus, his use of the term “statutes,” he wrote, was not meant to “cite a

specific statute that prevented me from sharing the information, rather, it was a statement that the district intends to protect the privacy of its employees to the extent of the law.” The district has never directly confirmed whether the employee whose resignation was accepted last week by the school board and the teacher at South Middle School who had been under investigation this semester for allegedly making racist remarks in class are in fact the same person. Speculation within the South community, along with an administration-issued email provided to the Journal-World, indicate that the South teacher was the resigning employee in question, however.

REP.-ELECT JIM KARLESKINT, R-TONGANOXIE, listens during a freshman orientation for new lawmakers as House Clerk Susan Kannarr explains the legislative process and the details of how bills actually become laws.

New state lawmakers get education on the Legislature By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Rep.-elect Jim Karleskint thought he already knew the basics of how a bill becomes a law. As a former school teacher and a retired district superintendent, he had taught that material to students in the past. But after going through an orientation

for new legislators this week, Karleskint said he came to realize there are things that aren’t necessarily taught in school. “I taught civics in my early days, and things haven’t changed much as far as how a bill becomes a law,” Karleskint said. “But how it’s supposed to be on paper and how it really is are two different things.”

Karleskint, a Tonganoxie Republican who was just elected to the House from the 42nd District, which includes Eudora and eastern Douglas County, will be one of 40 House members next year who are coming into office with no previous legislative experience.

Pinckney custodian surprised with ‘Class Act Award’ By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

What a way to start the day. Larry Fish, head custodian at Lawrence’s Pinckney Elementary School, was greeted Tuesday morning with a $200 check, a gym packed with grateful students and a surprise visit from Superintendent Kyle Hayden. Hayden stopped by East Heights School, where Pinckney staff and students have been temporarily housed this year while renovations continue at Pinckney, that

Education CONTINUED FROM 3A

That’s nearly a third of the 125-member House. On Monday and Tuesday this week, they went through a kind of freshman orientation to learn how things are done in the Kansas Statehouse. That included everything from how the legislative website works and how parking spaces are assigned to how budgets are put together and how massive the state’s revenue problem really is this year. By the time lunch came around on Tuesday, Karleskint said he was nearly overwhelmed. “It’s amazing how

District CONTINUED FROM 3A

Virtually no details — including what is alleged to have been said, and whether the nowcompleted investigation found those allegations to be true or not — have been provided by the district since announcing its investigation Oct. 19. Parents and other community members, including leaders of Lawrence’s NAACP chapter, have continued to criticize the district and school board over what has been perceived as a lack of transparency surrounding the South incident and its aftermath. The unanimous decision to accept a resignation without releasing the name of the resigning employee, it should be noted, is a break from the school board’s standard practice. School board members regularly list names of employees who have retired, resigned or had their employment terminated, within personnel reports included in semimonthly school board agendas. Since January, the district has made note of approximately 330 resignations, not including retirements, in its personnel

morning to honor the longtime custodian with the district’s Class Act Award. The honor, given each semester to an outstanding classified staff member working in the Lawrence district, is meant to recognize those who foster cooperation and open communication, effective teamwork, the accomplishment of professional tasks and goals, promoting trust and respect, and demonstrating leadership, accountability, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic. “I do not know what

we would do without the hard work and dedication of Larry Fish,” Pinckney Principal Kristi Hill said in her nomination. “The amount of work and time he put into helping staff pack and move from Pinckney to East Heights this summer was second to none.” With the recent closure of Pinckney’s portable classroom unit — due to mold growth discovered earlier this fall — and quick turnaround in moving staff into the main building, Hill wrote, “he deserves this award more than anyone.”

“Larry is loved by the students and staff,” Hill said. “We know we can always count on him to be positive through any tough situation.” After receiving his award and $200 check from Truity Credit Union, Fish expressed his gratitude to Pinckney students and staff. The Class Act Award, he said, had “blindsided” him that morning. “I knew something was up when I saw some faces show up here who aren’t normally here,” he said, perhaps referring to the district officials and mem-

bers of the press watching from the sidelines of the East Heights gym. “But thank you,” Fish said. “Just one day follows the next, and one foot in front of the other, is how we got through this. Thank you.” Larry Fish joined the Lawrence school district in 2000 as a substitute custodian, and has worked at Sunflower and Pinckney elementary schools.

He walked them through the standard spreadsheets that lawmakers get, which are known as general fund “profiles,” showing how much revenue the state expects to take in, how much is budgeted to be spent and what the difference is between the two. The current numbers were not good: a $350 million hole for the last seven months of the current year. And assuming lawmakers can cut that much out of this year’s budget, it will be followed by another $582 million

next year. Some in the room appeared shocked when they saw that on paper, but Karleskint said he was prepared. “The fiscal thing is something that didn’t surprise me,” Karleskint said. “The amount of support that we as legislators get that’s provided, that’s amazing.” Others in the freshman class won’t be quite as new as Karleskint. A few of them have served in the House before, like Reps. Eber Phelps, of Hays, and Cindy Neighbor, of Shawnee, who have served in the recent past, lost a bid for re-election, but then reclaimed their seats in 2016. And then there was Rep.-elect Vic Miller, a Topeka Democrat who

may have set a record for the longest gap between two different terms, 32 years. Miller served three terms during Gov. John Carlin’s administration, from 1979 through 1985. He left after losing a bid for a Senate seat, then spent several years on the Topeka City Council, the Shawnee County Commission and later as a Topeka municipal judge. Now returning after three decades, Miller said many things about the legislative process are still the same. But other things, starting with the state’s own fiscal condition, are vastly different. “There’s no comparison,” Miller said. “I remember vividly being

in the House and having Republicans argue that our 8 percent required (ending) balances weren’t big enough. Now it says 7.5 percent, but they just ignore it. But back then, it was a realistic debate: Should it be higher than 8 percent as a matter of law? This is frightening, frankly.” Miller also said there have been other profound changes in the workings of the Statehouse itself, which has since undergone a $300 million renovation that lasted a decade. “Technologically, it’s much more advanced, as you might imagine 32 years later,” he said. “Clearly the aesthetics have changed. It’s remarkable, sitting in the

House chamber.” Another big change, Miller said, is in the makeup of the Legislature itself. “It seems like there are fewer farmers than there once were. It seems like there are a lot more retirees than there was back then. And there are definitely fewer attorneys.” In fact, Miller noted, there will be no practicing attorneys serving in the Kansas Senate next year, when one of the biggest issues lawmakers will confront will be responding to a Kansas Supreme Court ruling on a constitutional lawsuit over school finance.

reports. Each is listed by the name of the employee, though some names are repeated from one month to the next in reports. The reports customarily include the name of the employee, that person’s title and the building in which he or she works; not included is any reason why that staff member is no longer employed by Lawrence Public Schools. The district also identifies by name employees who have been terminated, listing nine terminations since January. Again, a handful of these terminations come from individual employees whose names show up in personnel reports more than once, but the practice of publicly identifying employees who have left the district

— either by resignation or termination — is routine. When asked, Cunningham said he was not aware of any provision “related to the release of confidential employee information” in the district’s master agreement with the Lawrence Education Association, the local teachers union. It’s still unclear why the district chose not to release the name of the employee whose resignation was accepted Nov. 28 instead of merely including the individual’s name in that day’s personnel report along with the 19 other resignations mentioned. In a letter addressed to the Journal-World’s editorial board on Dec. 2, Superintendent Kyle Hayden explained that administration decided at the outset of the

investigation (Hayden did not mention South Middle School in the letter specifically) to not publicly name the teacher as a matter of protecting that employee’s privacy until the investigation had been completed and a determination had

been made about the allegations. “Upon the conclusion of the investigation and before the school board made its decision, the teacher chose to resign, effective at the end of the school year,” Hayden wrote. “We

again decided, in consultation with legal counsel, that it was appropriate that the teacher not be named in order to protect the employee’s privacy.”

A better vibe at Statehouse Newly elected leaders at Capitol look to be much more adept at collaboration than previous ones.

T

he new leaders in the Kansas Legislature face no small challenges, but they started by striking the right

tone. Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, was elected speaker of the Kansas House on Monday, and Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, was re-elected to serve as Senate president. Their reward? Ryckman and Wagle are charged with developing a strategy to deal with a $350 million hole in the state budget that is expected to grow to more than $500 million in 2017. An impending decision from the Kansas Supreme Court is likely to require the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on public K-12 education. And amid the fiscal challenges, it isn’t clear that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback is ready to work with the legislative leadership. Brownback, widely blamed for pushing tax policies that led to the state’s budget woes, has said he will not submit a plan to address the budget woes until January, and even then, he doesn’t see the budget problem as his responsibility. Ryckman replaces outgoing Speaker Ray Merrick, a strong Brownback ally known for punishing those who opposed him and for limiting the number of bills that were debated on the House floor. In his remarks after being elected speaker, Ryckman at least sounded like someone willing to take a different, more collaborative approach. “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 if someone’s willing to find a way to get to a yes (vote), we’re definitely willing to listen.” Wagle is not new to Senate leadership. She was Senate president when many of the state’s budget problems came to be. But the August Republican primaries, in which several moderates won contests over hardline Brownback conservatives, got Wagle’s attention. In October, Wagle called a news conference with 25 other GOP senators and candidates and acknowledged that she had heard the voters’ anger on the campaign trail. The group pledged that, if elected, they would address the state’s budget crisis even if it meant reversing some of the tax policies that Brownback had championed and that many of them had supported. Like Ryckman, Wagle struck an inclusive tone Monday. “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.” The makeup of the Legislature in 2017 will be very different from that of the past six years. The 2016 election made clear that the voters aren’t happy with the direction the state is headed. The challenges are as big as they have ever been and will require compromise and collaboration to solve. It remains to be seen if Ryckman and Wagle can offer such consensus-building leadership in 2017, but at least they sounded the part on Monday.

Trump muffs first foreign policy test Washington — Whatever else future historians say about Donald Trump’s early foreign policy moves, they’re likely to note the erratic and, in many ways, self-defeating nature of the president-elect’s initial dealings with China, the country many analysts view as America’s most important long-term rival. A wise strategy for challenging China’s ascendancy in Asia is arguably the top foreign policy task for a new president. But if Trump planned to take a tougher stance, this was a haphazard way to do it. The presidentelect instead stumbled into a pre-inaugural foreign flap, insulting Beijing and causing it to lose face, without having a clear, well-articulated plan for what he seeks to accomplish. Worse, Trump’s fulminations about China come just as his plan to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership is undermining America’s standing with the allies in Asia. Trump, in effect, is ceding economic ground to China at the very moment he claims to be taking a harder line. Is this a cool, calculating strategy from the dealmaker? It looks to me more like a hot mess. Trump’s phone call Friday with Taiwan’s president needn’t have created this crisis. The Chinese at first seemed willing to give the inexperienced Trump a pass — blaming the precedentaltering call on “petty” maneuvering by Taipei. Beijing presumably recognized that this wasn’t the time to pick

Is this a cool, calculated strategy from the dealmaker? It looks to me more like a hot mess.” a fight, and Trump should have adopted the same stance. But Trump, evidently feeling cornered, doubled down. He unleashed a Twitter storm about China’s currency manipulation (a largely bogus charge he repeated through the campaign) and its aggressive actions in the South China Sea (a real problem requiring strong, steady U.S. leadership). An embarrassed China is sure to take countermeasures, which will further confound U.S. policy. The episode reinforced two points about Trump: He loves to be flattered by calls from foreign leaders (including “presidents” of countries the U.S. doesn’t recognize). And he’s thinskinned, and reacts to criticism with the pique of an American Kim Jong Un. Twitter amplifies Trump’s tendency for personal overreaction. In an era of nuclear weapons, this

sort of undamped presidential oscillation could be seriously dangerous to global health. To understand this China flap, try imagining it through the eyes of Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state who created the template for modern U.S.-China relations. On Friday, he was in Beijing saying soothing things about Trump; a few hours later, the presidentelect threw a stink bomb into the edifice Kissinger started building 45 years ago. President Xi Jinping had welcomed Kissinger Friday as a potential intermediary with Trump. “We are now in a key moment,” Xi said. “Dr. Kissinger, I am all ears to what you have to say about the current world situation and the future growth of China-U.S. relations.” Kissinger suggested that Trump, despite his inexperience, would be pragmatic. After his meeting with Xi, he told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, “This president-elect, it’s the most unique that I’ve experienced in one respect: He has absolutely no baggage.” He argued that despite Trump’s inflammatory campaign positions, analysts “should not insist in nailing him to positions that he had taken in the campaign on which he doesn’t insist.” Then — kaboom! — the Taiwan call, which raised questions about the durability of Kissinger’s 1972 Shanghai Communique that set the basic framework of the “One China” policy.

This jousting over Taiwan wouldn’t be so worrisome if other aspects of the U.S. Asia policy were intact. But Trump’s pledge to tear up the TPP in his first days in office has sent the other 11 nations that signed the pact scrambling for cover — with some talking of making new deals with a Beijing that is eager to fill the void. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, America’s most important Asian ally, said last month that TPP members would consider joining a rival, Chinese-led trade agreement known as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP. “There’s no doubt that there would be a pivot to the RCEP if the TPP doesn’t go forward,” Abe said. Peru and Australia, two other TPP signatories, also indicated they might join the RCEP. “If you want to stand up to China, the last thing you should do is walk away from TPP,” said Michael Froman in an interview. He’s the U.S. trade representative Trump blasted during the campaign as an incompetent negotiator. It must be said that Trump’s slapdash, self-destructive Asian maneuvers over the past week make Froman look like a negotiating genius, by comparison. Trump just faced his first foreign policy test with the Taiwan flap and muffed it. Let’s hope he learns something. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

YOUR TURN

In defense of school district’s actions By Kyle Hayden

I am writing in response to your Dec. 2, 2016, editorial regarding the Lawrence Board of Education and open government. KS.A. 45-221(a)( 4) allows a public agency to withhold personnel information to protect the privacy of public employees. Likewise, KS.A. 75-4319(b)(l) provides an exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act that allows public bodies to enter into executive session to discuss personnel matters of non-elected personnel so as to protect the privacy of the individuals discussed. Just as the Lawrence school district values students and school families and is committed to protecting their confidentiality, the district values its employees and strives to protect their privacy rights within the parameters of the law. We do our best not to release personnel information, except as required by law. When a concern was raised in October that a teacher may have made racist comments to a class, we immediately opened an investigation. The district

takes seriously concerns of this nature. Our schools must provide safe learning environments — free from disHayden crimination and harassment. When we opened the investigation, we informed staff and parents and made a public announcement. We decided at that time that it was appropriate that the teacher not be named to protect the privacy of the employee until the investigation was complete and a determination could be made as to the allegation. Upon the conclusion of the investigation and before the school board made its decision, the teacher chose to resign, effective at the end of the school year. We again decided, in consultation with legal counsel, that it was appropriate that the teacher not be named in order to protect the employee’s privacy. We did think, however, that students, parents, and the public deserved to know

about the teacher’s resignation, so the board approved the resignation without naming the teacher, but indicating that the employment action involved the person who was the subject of the investigation. At that time, we again notified students, staff, and parents at the school involved, and made a public statement. I understand that some, including your Editorial Board, may disagree with our attempt to balance the privacy rights of a teacher with the public’s right to know. We made these decisions because we value our employees and strive to protect employee privacy within the parameters of the law. The district, and the thoughtful and dedicated volunteers who serve on the school board, will continue to do our best to protect the rights of students and staff, to maintain safe learning environments for all students, and to address any concerns that are raised swiftly, appropriately, and in accordance with the law. — Kyle Hayden is the superintendent of Lawrence Public Schools.

To the editor: This is to syndicated columnist Mark Shields. As a veteran and former member of the Coast Guard the inaccuracy of your memorable column of Dec. 5 hit close to home, and I feel compelled to set the record straight. You wrote the Marine Corps is “the smallest of our military forces, with just 182,000 on active duty …” There is, and has been since 1790, a fifth military force that is a tad bit smaller. Our nation’s Coast Guard daily stands the watch here at home and around the world with an active duty force of 40,992 and a reserve force of 7,000. They perform their missions ably supported by 8,577 civilian employees and 31,000 Coast Guard Auxiliarists. In the future. please keep in mind to remind your readers there are five services in the armed forces of the United States, not four. And the next time you are in Baltimore, feel free to tour the USCGC Taney, a Coast Guard cutter that engaged Japanese attackers in Hawaii 75 years ago this week. David L. Teska, Lawrence

The Supreme Court’s ruling Tuesday that Samsung may not owe Apple the full profits from smartphones that copied iPhone design features could further expand the market for the popular devices. The high court reversed a lower court decision that Samsung had to pay $399 million in damages for violating three of Apple’s design patents on the iPhone’s shape and colorful icons. The justices ordered that court to decide whether only components were infringed upon, not the entire product. The 8-0 verdict from Justice Sonia Sotomayor was a muchneeded victory for Samsung, beset with problems ranging from smartphones that burst into WASHINGTON

President-elect Donald Trump called Tuesday for the government to cancel a deal with aircraft manufacturer Boeing for development of a new Air Force One. The Air Force signed deals with Boeing in January and July to design certain aspects of the presidential aircraft, including its interior and its electrical and maintenance systems. The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimated in March that the entire program would cost about $3.2 billion from the 2010 through 2020 fiscal years, including $2 billion for research

500-year-old clams open up history of Earth’s oceans Shell rings reveal influence of climate Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Clams are more than a tasty ingredient in chowder, they’re also important in understanding Earth’s history. The world’s oldest animals, 500-year-old clams have given scientists an unprecedented look at the climate history of the oceans. By studying growth rings in the

shells of quahog clams, scientists have pieced together the history of the North Atlantic Ocean over the past 1,000 years. The method is similar to how tree rings can serve as climate proxies by revealing clues about past weather and climate changes, including droughts. Quahogs, also known as hard clams or chowder clams, are edible mollusks that live in the North Atlantic Ocean along North America and Europe. By studying the clams’ shells, scientists from Cardiff University and Bangor University in Wales found that the ocean’s relationship with the atmosphere drasti-

cally changed over the centuries, probably because of the influence of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane that have been pumped into the atmosphere from humanity’s burning of fossil fuels, beginning with the Industrial Revolution. Although clams have been used as climate proxies through the field called sclerochronology since the 1970s, the new study is the first time researchers have been able to obtain a 1,000-year record of the ocean with absolute dating precision, according to lead author David Reynolds of Cardiff University. In the preindustrial era, rough-

ly before 1800, the climate was driven by natural factors such as volcanic eruptions and solar activity, he said. At that time, the ocean influenced the atmosphere. Since then, it’s been the other way around: The atmosphere, with its increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other green-

house gases, has driven major shifts underwater. “The changes that we are seeing in ocean chemistry are unprecedented, relative to the last 1,000 years,” Reynolds said. Scientists studied living and fossil clams from a seabed north of Iceland. By comparing the ring widths of live and fossil shells, they were able to date shells that lived during the same time period because they contained the same pattern. “By using multiple fossil shells, we were therefore able to extend the record backwards through time to cover the entire last 1,000 years,” Reynolds said.

over $4 billion for the Air Force One program, and I think it’s ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money.” Boeing said in a statement that its deal to develop the Air Force One aircraft is worth $170 million. “We look forward to working with the U.S. Air Force on subsequent phases of the program allowing us to deliver the best planes for the president at the best value for the American taxpayer,” Boeing said. An Air Force spokesman, Capt. Michael Hertzog, said the military was working with Boeing to reduce costs. Boeing plans to replace the two aging 747-200 aircraft that serve as Air Force One with two latestgeneration, modified 747-8 jets. The Air Force pledged to “keep costs down” when it awarded the initial aircraft development contract to Boeing in January, but the military branch said the replacements are necessary. “Parts obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing sources and increased downtimes for maintenance are existing challenges that will increase until a new aircraft is fielded,” Air Force Col. Amy McCain, manager of the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization program, said in a statement at the time. Richard Aboulafia, aviation analyst at the Teal Group, said the current Air Force One jumbo jets, which were made in the 1980s, are equipped with state-of-theart communication technology and defense mechanisms to survive nuclear war or terrorist attacks, he said. Anything in the $3 billion to $4 billion range would be reasonable, and a belief otherwise is “completely ignorant,” he said. “This is the wrong place to talk about cost control,” Aboulafia said. “People aren’t upset in Washington about a relatively small program being canceled. They’re upset we have a president who doesn’t understand what is needed to be president.” Jeff Windau, a Boeing analyst at the Edward D. Jones financial services firm, said the threat to cancel the contract is more significant as scrutiny of defense deals, rather than as a blow to Boeing. “I think it’s a very limited number of planes,” Windau said. “I don’t think canceling it is necessarily a realistic thing to be done.” Corrections & Clarifications

President-elect Donald Trump greets retired Marine Corps general James Mattis at a rally Tuesday at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C. Trump officially announced Mattis as his choice for secretary of Defense. The event was Trump’s latest stop on his “Thank You Tour” of states that provided his margin of victory in the Electoral College.

Boeing has a strong backlog of 5,600 planes ordered and valued at $400 billion and a large commercial business beyond the 747 program, which had 17 net orders this year. “I think it’s more prestigious from the company’s perspective of manufacturing,” Windau said. Trump’s skepticism could signal more hurdles for defense contracts generally. “I think it’s something that might be revisited on the price and spending,” Windau said. “How much scrutiny are contracts going to have going forward?” The undersecretary of Defense approved the plan to replace Air Force One in September 2015. The goal was to replace the aircraft by the 2024 fiscal year. It was not immediately clear Tuesday whether Trump, who owns a Boeing 757 that he uses as his personal aircraft, would or could intervene to halt the Air Force One deal after he takes office in January. Regarding the possibility that Trump might want to use his own jet instead of Air Force One, Aboulafia was beside himself. “That’s up there with talkingto-aliens-on-the-toaster weird,” he said. Still, jittery stock market investors initially drove Boeing shares down, but they rebounded to close up 8 cents a share, or .05%, at $152.24. Trump himself owned Boeing shares (BA) as of the filing of a financial disclosure form during his presidential campaign. He owned Boeing stock worth $50,001 to $100,000, according to his disclosure document, but he sold all of his stocks in June. Trump has taken a special interest in the aircraft manufacturer’s travails. During a crisis surrounding the lithium batteries in Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft, Trump tweeted in 2013 and 2014 that the company should excise the technology from the jets. Earlier, he was ebullient about Boeing’s prospects. “@Boeing stock went way down because of 787- so I just bought stock in @Boeing,” he tweeted in January 2013. “Great company!” Contributing: Eliza Collins, Bart Jansen

SAN FRANCISCO Telecommunications giant SoftBank Group plans to invest $50 billion into the U.S. economy, and add 50,000 jobs, president-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday. He made the announcement over Twitter after meeting with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son for 45 minutes at Trump Tower. The Japanese company has a majority stake in Sprint, whose plans to merge with rival T-Mobile were thwarted by the Obama administration. Son’s summit with Trump is very likely to rekindle the possibility of a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile, says wireless analyst Chetan Sharma. “Today’s visit is just groundwork for an inevitable deal,” Sharma says. “Son has a strong interest in pursuing the merger.” Son did not say what specific investments SoftBank would make,

Masayoshi Son and Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse talk of Softbank’s acquisition.

though he told The Wall Street Journal they would be part of a previously announced $100 billion tech investment fund. “We were talking about it, and then I said I’d like to celebrate his presidential job,” Son said at an impromptu news conference in Trump Tower lobby. Sprint shares rallied as much as 7%, to $8.61, hitting a 52-week high, before ending 1.5% higher. T-Mobile shares rose 1.8%. In his unlikely march to the White House, Trump tirelessly campaigned on bringing more jobs to America, particularly in

regions hit hard by the recession and globalization. He took swings at companies such as Apple for making most of their products outside the U.S. SoftBank is the second highprofile accord he’s landed to underscore his message to voters. Last week, Trump announced a controversial deal to keep furnace manufacturer Carrier from outsourcing about 1,100 jobs to Mexico. Carrier will get $7 million in state tax incentives to keep the jobs in Indiana. The name of SoftBank isn’t a household word in the U.S., but its holdings are vast. Son, who became a billionaire through investments in Japan and China, is in the midst of raising a $100 billion fund with Saudi Arabia and others. He’s had mixed results in the U.S. since SoftBank bought what is now an 80% stake in Sprint for $21.6 billion, and lost ground to telecom rivals such as T-Mobile. SoftBank also plunked down $32 billion this year to acquire ARM Holdings, a U.K.-based chip designer that makes parts for Apple’s iPhone and other products.

Alaska Airlines’ acquisition of Virgin America has been cleared to proceed.

ALASKA AIRLINES

Justice Dept. filing would clear way for Alaska-Virgin merger Kevin Johnson and Bart Jansen USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A proposed settlement that would clear Alaska Air Group’s $2.6 billion acquisition of Virgin America was filed in federal court Tuesday, requiring Alaska to roll back its ticket-marketing agreement with aviation giant American Airlines to better preserve competition on those routes shared by American and Virgin. In court documents, the Justice Department is requiring Alaska to reduce its so-called American codeshare program — which allows both airlines to sell tickets on dozens of shared flight routes — on at least 20 routes where American competes directly with Virgin. Those routes, according to court documents, comprise about two thirds of Virgin’s network,

representing an estimated $8 billion in annual commerce. “Virgin’s presence in these markets provides a critical alternative for consumers and helps keep American’s prices lower than they otherwise would be,” the court documents state. Brad Tilden, Alaska’s chief executive officer, said the company “couldn’t be more excited” with the settlement that effectively clears the deal, pending court approval. “With this combination now cleared for take off, we’re thrilled to bring these two companies together and start delivering our low fares and great service to an even larger group of customers,” Tilden said. The codeshare reduction, Tilden said, applies only to a limited number of the 250 flights where Alaska is able to market for American. A reciprocal arrangement allows American to sell tickets on 80 routes served by

Alaska. “We remain confident in the merits of this transaction,” Tilden said. “The expanded West Coast presence and larger customer base create an enhanced platform for growth, which is good for investors, employees and especially customers — who benefit from more choices, increased competition and low fares.” Renata Hesse, acting chief of Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, said the smaller Alaska and Virgin airlines provide “a critical check” on larger industry carriers that the agreement seeks to preserve. “Although this merger offers hope that a strengthened Alaska can be an even stronger competitor than before, because of Alaska’s extensive codeshare agreement with the world’s largest airline, the merger threatened to blunt important competition and reduce choices for consumers,” Hesse said.

Apple, Samsung and others that offer similar features. Though Samsung still could pay a hefty penalty, the decision may ease the risk for manufacturers who mimic other products. The battle between the tech giants represented the first design patent case to reach the high court in more than a century. A jury ruled in 2012 that because Samsung infringed on three of Apple’s iPhone design patents, it must fork over the entire profits from the phones in question. The high court’s ruling left open what courts should do when balancing design against a full product. An “article of manufacture,” it said, “is simply a thing made by hand or machine.” The 5-year-old fight between the world’s two most successful smartphone makers threatened to upend the tech industry. It was watched closely by companies with a stake in the outcome — from Facebook, Google, Dell and Lenovo on Samsung’s side, to

more than 100 designers from companies such as Nike and Calvin Klein in Apple’s corner. Apple took a hard line Tuesday against what it called Samsung’s “blatant copying of our ideas” and said it hoped lower courts “will again send a powerful signal that stealing isn’t right.” Samsung did not immediately respond. During oral arguments, its attorney, Kathleen Sullivan, told the justices, “A smartphone is smart because it contains hundreds of thousands of the technologies that make it work.” The case will return to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has jurisdiction on patent cases, to determine what Samsung must pay. “It is possible that we will enter into years of turmoil over the proper tests for calculating damages for infringement of a design patent,” said Rick McKenna, head of the design rights group at the law firm Foley & Lardner.

A: Donald Trump dumped all of his stock in June, according to a revelation Tuesday from the transition team. Don’t assume stock moves by President-elect Trump make sense for your portfolio, too. Seeing Trump sell stock isn’t all that surprising. While he did report in May owning 150 stock and bond investments, Trump has indicated he’s not much of a stock investor. Most of Trump’s wealth is invested in real estate, which he presumably knows

most about. Trump’s situation is very different than yours because you’re not the president-elect. There are rules with what a politician can own to prevent conflicts of interest. It’s a place where you have an edge over politicians: You can be a long-term investor. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has generated an average long-term annual gain of 9.7%, Index Fund Advisors says. The economy and earnings drive stock prices, not the president. Long-term investors also invest for more than just four years, and who knows who will be president then? If you stay invested you can also earn the market’s roughly 2% dividend yield. Just make sure you’re diversified to protect yourself if any single company runs into trouble with Trump.

Ikea expands parental leave to all U.S. workers Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The U.S. division of Ikea, the Swedish retailer best known for its do-it-yourself furniture assembly, said Tuesday it will expand paid benefits to up to four months for all its workers welcoming a new baby. The move is designed to improve the work-life balance of its employees and attract and retain workers in an increasingly tight U.S. labor market.

The expanded family-leave benefits, which go into effect Jan. 1, include not only salaried employees, but hourly workers as well. And it’s not just new moms eligible for longer periods of paid time off to care for their newborns. Dads who work at Ikea are eligible to take advantage of longer paid leaves, as are adoptive and foster parents, the company said. “At IKEA, we believe time with family and friends is so important for a healthy work-life balance and a happy and productive workforce,” Lars Petersson, IKEA U.S. president, said in a state-

ALAN DIAZ, AP

ment. “This benefit, which applies to all parents, will give our co-workers the opportunity to spend more time with their families when welcoming a child. Our co-workers are our most impor-

tant resource, which is why we continue to invest in helping them reach their dream.” Co-workers who have worked at Ikea for three-plus years will now be eligible to take up to four months of paid leave, receiving 100% of their base wage for the first eight weeks and 50% for an additional eight weeks. Ikea employees who have been with the company more than a year but less than three years can take up to three months of paid leave to be with their family, receiving 100% of their base wage for the first six weeks of parental

leave and 50% for an additional six weeks. (This is in addition to the six to eight weeks of Short Term Disability available to all co-workers regardless of tenure, the company said.) While four months of paid leave sounds like a lot, it pales in comparison to the 480 days Swedish parents are entitled to in their home country, 90 of which are reserved for dads. But it is far better than the current system in the U.S., in which Ikea parents are eligible for five days of paid leave, as well as six to eight weeks of short-term disability.

LIFELINE MAKING WAVES Jimmy Kimmel could not have been more pleased Monday: First, he was named host of the Academy Awards when it airs on ABC in February. Then, he delighted his ABC late-night show audience with the news that his wife, Molly McNearey, is pregnant with their second child. “My wife is hosting a baby inside her body, so that’s exciting,” he joked. “Congratulations to me. I’m hosting the Oscars and I had sex. Two things as a teenage boy I never thought would be possible.”

Lemonade is the drink of choice for Recording Academy voters. Beyoncé’s genre-smashing behemoth leads the 2017 Grammy Awards nominations with nine nods, including album of the year. She is joined in the category by Adele’s 25, Drake’s Views, Justin Bieber’s Purpose and Sturgill Simpson’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth. In addition to record- and song-of-the-year nominations for defiant lead single Formation, Beyoncé is recognized across a variety of song categories. Hold Up is competing for best pop solo performance, Don’t Hurt Yourself (featuring Jack White) is up for best rock performance, and Freedom (with Kendrick Lamar) is contending for best rap/sung performance. Lemonade, which Beyoncé unveiled as a one-hour HBO special this spring, also is nominated for best music film and urban contemporary album, and Formation’s visual is up for best music video. With her 2017 nominations, Beyoncé continues her run as the most-nominated female artist in Grammys history, with 62 nominations and 20 wins. If she wins eight of the nine categories in which she’s nominated, she’ll pass Alison Krauss (with 27 Grammys) as the winningest woman in the history of the awards. Lemonade’s multi-genre nominations are a broader indication that “artists today have greater creative freedom,” says Recording Academy president Neil Portnow. “They are willing to take chances and are feeling very empowered — and frankly, coura- geous — to follow their own muse, wherever them.” that takes Beyoncé, in particular, “is the poster child for that kind of diversification and for stepping out and doing whatever she feels comfortable to do. It’s great to see that fans are openminded and want to embrace all of that.” Drake, Kanye West and Rihanna tied for second-most nominations with eight each, including many shared honors. Rihanna’s Work featuring Drake is up for record of the year and best pop duo/group performance, and Drake’s Pop Style with West and Jay Z is competing for best rap

Justin Bieber is recognized for Purpose and Love Yourself. performance. Rihanna also is nominated for album of the year as a featured artist on Drake’s Views, although her own Anti missed the top category. With eight nominations this year and 68 total, West is the second-most-nominated male artist in Grammys history, surpassed only by Quincy Jones with 79. Although the lightning-rod rapper’s The Life of Pablo was passed over in top categories including album of the year, its controversial Famous and gospel-infused Ultralight Beam were each recognized for best rap song and best rap/sung performance.

Chance the Rapper, nominated as both a songwriter and featured artist on Ultralight Beam, benefited from the Recording Academy’s new amendment that allows streaming-only releases to be eligible for nominations. He received seven total, including best rap album (Coloring Book) and best new artist. Chance is joined in the latter category by country singers Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini, dance duo The Chainsmokers and hip-hop upstart Anderson .Paak. Rounding out the top honors, Adele (with five nominations) is vying for record and song of the year for comeback single Hello, while Danish pop group Lukas Graham’s 7 Years also earned nods in both categories. Twenty One Pilots’ Stressed Out will contend for record of the year, and Justin Bieber (Love Yourself) and Mike Posner (I Took a Pill in Ibiza) are both up for song of the year. The Grammys are voted on by about 13,000 academy members made up of artists, songwriters, producers and engineers. More than 21,700 recordings were submitted for Grammys consideration this year. For 2017 awards, music must have been released between Oct. 1, 2015, and Sept. 30, 2016, to be eligible. The 59th Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Feb. 12 (CBS, 8 ET/PT).

Arthur, politely, that I know the secret, thereby making our relationship first and the secret second. Marjorie will not let me do it.

But the fact that she shared such an intimate secret with you shows that she really trusts you. Why isn’t

‘Hairspray’ makes comeback NBC returns to live television events with “Hairspray Live!” (7 p.m., TV-PG), an adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical that was based on director John Waters’ surprise 1988 hit comedy. The Broadway show also inspired a 2007 movie musical. In all of its incarnations, “Hairspray” is a tale of outsiders asserting their rights and place in society and rebelling in a joyous fashion. Set in 1962 Baltimore, it is the tale of overweight teen Tracy Turnblad (Maddie Baillio), who wins a local dancing competition much to the surprise and shock of local mean girls, personified by Amber Von Tussle (Dove Cameron). In the curious logic of comedies and musicals, Tracy’s infectious energy sparks an effort to integrate the local all-white teen TV dancing show hosted by the Dick Clark-like Corny Collins (Derek Hough). The role of Tracy has been a launching pad for unheralded actresses and the role of Tracy’s obese mother, Edna, has always been played by larger-than-life men. It’s interesting to note that we are further removed in history from the original “Hairspray” than it was from its 1962 setting. When the movie first appeared in 1988, it seemed certain that society had turned a page on overt bigotry, and that the forces that kept the Corny Collins’ show segregated appeared to be part of a bygone era. “Hairspray” only works if racism is seen as bad, absurd and laughably so. Recent events suggest that a sizable audience isn’t necessarily in on the joke. O The Pearl Harbor attacks of Dec. 7, 1941, the “day that will live in infamy,” happened 75 years ago today, as remembered in the 2001 Michael Bay blockbuster “Pearl Harbor” (7 p.m., AMC) and the 1970 epic “Tora! Tora! Tora!” (7 p.m., TCM). While Dec. 7 will never be forgotten, neither of these films is memorable. They don’t hold a candle to the 1953 melodrama “From Here to Eternity” (2 p.m., TCM). O After a blow to the head, a fraudulent fortune-teller (Jeffrey Donovan, “Burn Notice”) has a change of heart about spiritual deceit in the new drama “Shut Eye,” now streaming on Hulu. Tonight’s other highlights O Murder does not take a Christmas break on “Lethal Weapon” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). O Andre casts Tiana in a bad light on “Empire” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

that enough? If you let jealousy drive your decision-making, you’re headed for a wreck. Dear Annie: I disagree with your reply to “Senior in Connecticut,” who asked you to weigh in on those who address senior citizens as “honey,” “sweetie” and other such terms. You replied, “It’s all in the tone. Yes, it can be demeaning and rude.” But you also said that the words are “terms of endearment” and that one should “take into account the speaker’s intention.” When I am called “hon” or “sweetie” by people I am seeing in a professional capacity, such as medical personnel with whom I have no close relationship, they have no right whatsoever to use “terms of endearment” with me.

visor has no business using such terms with employees. “Terms of endearment” are just that — terms reserved for those close and dear to us. I would never dream of calling my doctor “dearie.” What gives him the right to think he is free to call me that? The practice is rampant nowadays, and it is nothing but rude and demeaning. Those who have let themselves adopt the habit of using such terms need to stop immediately. Period. When strangers call me those offensive words I say: “I prefer, if you must address me, to be called (my name).” But most have no clue why I’m offended and continue to do it. — Seething in the Great Plains — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

2 sex crimes reported in trailer park By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Two sex crimes were reported Saturday in a trailer park on Lawrence’s north side. Just after 7:30 p.m. Saturday, three officers responded to the 100 block of Arkansas Street for a sexcrime report, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs. A number of mobile homes sit within the 100 block of Arkansas Street, directly west of the Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park. Lawrence Police Department spokeswoman Kim Murphree said

in a written response that an aggravated sexual battery and intimidation of a witness were reported at the scene. The reported crimes were said to have occurred between Nov. 1 and Saturday, Murphree said. The victim and the suspect are known to each other, she said. Less than two hours later, another officer responded to the 100 block of Arkansas Street for a sexcrime report, activity logs indicate. The logs indicate only the general location of the reports, and Murphree did not immediately respond to additional questions asking whether the locations of the

two reports were the same. Murphree said for the second incident, the indecent solicitation of a child was reported. Again, the reported victim and suspect are known to each other, she said. The reported solicitation is said to have taken place sometime between June 1 and July 31, Murphree said. No recent arrests listed in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bear incident report numbers matching the reported sex crimes. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

Naismith Creek advisory lifted The City of Lawrence has rescinded the stream and health advisory for Naismith Creek. The advisory was issued a week ago after about 1.9 million gallons of raw, untreated sewage overflowed a manhole near 31st and Louisiana streets. Naismith Creek runs adjacent to the Baker Wetlands before flowing into the Wakarusa River. The overflow occurred due to a bypass pump failure at a downstream lift station, according to the release. Testing of samples collected along Naismith Creek and the Wakarusa River indicates no further health risk due to the overflow.

Self makes landmark win count with victory over UMKC

KANSAS HEAD COACH BILL SELF RAISES UP A CEREMONIAL BALL COMMEMORATING HIS 600TH WIN as he celebrates with his players and those attending the Jayhawks’ 105-62 victory over UMKC on Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

A

free throw line, thus continuing their rough stretch of freebies to start the season. But that was about the only area which Self could truly criticize his team following Tuesday’s run-away victory. Knocking in 15 of 27 three-pointers from about six feet farther out on the floor has a way of

easing the pain of those close misses, and the perpetual smile that stuck to Self’s face during a postgame video that featured players from all four of his head coaching stops congratulating him on the achievement made the stats of this specific game more than a little insignificant. “The video was really

good,” Self said. “I had no idea. And seeing some of those men, you know those guys were just kids when we had ’em and some of them are over 40 years old now, that was very meaningful.” Beginning with Sherron Collins and closing with Wayne Simien, the congratulatory video featured 11 Jayhawks, two of

his former Illinois players and one from both Tulsa and Oral Roberts. In addition to the words of congratulations, the video messages, some which came from as far away as Russia and Poland, provided a little glimpse into the way Self got so many players

rank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Josh Jackson went out of their way Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse to try to set up teammates Udoka Azubuike and Carlton Bragg Jr. with beautiful passes, but the big men had trouble finishing.

So it wasn’t as if the nation’s top perimeter trio went into the night looking to dominate the scoring, it’s just that when they put up their shots, they went in. Most of Jackson’s came close to the rim, all of Graham’s from long distance and Mason mixed

in a little of both. Regardless of where they were taken on the court, they were smart shots and most of them went in. Mason and Graham combined to make 12of-15 three-pointers and the three combined to go 25-of-34 from the field.

They combined 67 points to lead Kansas to a 105-62 rout of UMKC. “That basket looks awfully big to Frank and Devonté and I thought Josh had his best game since he’s been here,” Kansas coach Bill Self said after his 600th victory.

Kansas made 15-of-27 three-point shots and in the past four games has made 54-of-96 for a .563 percentage. In the first five games, Kansas made 30-of-100. You can do the math on that one. Graham and Mason

KU defensive end Armstrong tapped All-Big 12 By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

No, the season didn’t go as well for Kansas football as Dorance Armstrong Jr. would’ve hoped. However,

the sophomore defensive end entered the winter offseason encouraged. “Last year my numbers weren’t even close to what they were this year,” Armstrong said following the

Jayhawks’ season-ending loss at Kansas State, “and me getting injured in (preseason) camp, to come back and put up those numbers, it kind of shocked me. But I’m very proud of how I played,

how our defense played and all of that.” Now KU’s standout defensive playmaker can realize even further gratification. The Associated Press on Tuesday named Arm-

strong to its All-Big 12 first team. The numbers the 6-foot4, 246-pound lineman referenced got his name

Holmes commits to KU By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

For the second time in a week, the Kansas football program has added to its stockpile of defensive linemen by picking up a commitment from the junior college ranks. KU on Tuesday received word from Hutchinson Community College defensive tackle J.J. Holmes that he plans to sign with the program, just days after KeyShaun Simmons, of Pearl River Community College (Miss.), did the same. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 310 pounds, Holmes earned first-team AllKJCCC honors as a sophomore this fall. The defensive lineman — originally from Chipley, Fla. — averaged 4.7 tackles a game on the interior. Holmes made 14.5 tackles for loss for HCC, as well as 5.0 sacks. Sought after as a freshman at Hutchinson, Holmes returned for his sophomore season after receiving offers from Kansas State, Iowa State, Missouri, Kentucky and other programs. Just last weekend, Holmes revealed to Jon Kirby of Jayhawk Slant, he visited Missouri. Though the defensive lineman has only ventured to KU in an unofficial capacity previously, Holmes plans to make an official visit this coming weekend, after calling assistant coach Kenny Perry and head coach David Beaty Tuesday to commit. “Coach Perry has been recruiting me for a while,” Holmes told Jayhawk Slant. “He’s been doing a good job telling me about Kansas. He has talked to me about the facilities and the environment.” According to Holmes, he plans to enroll at Kansas for the spring semester. The latest juco transfer joins a defensive line that has to be considered KU’s best unit for 2017, with All-Big 12 first-team selection Dorance Armstrong Jr., second-teamer Daniel Wise and DeeIsaac Davis returning.

associated with other conference stars, such as offensive player of the year Dede Westbrook (Oklahoma) and fellow first-teamers D’Onta Foreman (Texas) and Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma). Armstrong led the Big 12 with 20.0 tackles for loss and ranked second in sacks, with 10.0 — trailing only defensive player of the year Jordan Willis (11.5), of Kansas State. As the 2016 season neared it completion and Armstrong kept terrorizing opposing offensive lines, those working at Anderson Family Football Complex began wondering whether the young

One trait that every good basketball team seems to have is the ability to close out a game. That particular calling card is something the Free State boys basketball team has still yet to learn. For the second straight contest, FSHS (1-1) struggled down the stretch, and this time it led to a 53-49 loss to Blue Valley West. “I feel like sometimes we play not to lose rather than playing to win,” senior Jay Dineen said. “We need to start playing to win. Most of the games, even on Saturday, we are content with the lead and they came back on us. When we get the lead we need to step on their throat.” After narrowly escaping with a three-point victory over Barstow — despite leading by double digits in the final period — the Firebirds surrendered 22 fourth-quarter points to the Jaguars in Tuesday’s home opener defeat. But the two late-game lapses early in the year, may just be the very thing this team needs to open the season. “We on purpose made our schedule tougher than we did last year,” coach Sam Stroh said. “To help prepare us for teams like this. And that’s what I told them, we have

We are going to play another good team on Friday.” With 7:37 to go in the fourth quarter, junior Simon McCaffrey bottomed a jumper to take a 32-31 lead. It was Free State’s first advantage in the game since the 5:37 mark in the opening quarter, when the team led 6-5, before surrendering a 11-0 run to the opposition. And much like the early lead, the fourth-quarter advantage would be short lived. The Jaguars scored five points on the next three possessions to reclaim the lead. Then after trading a a few baskets, Blue Valley West went on a decisive 10-0 run to take a double digit lead with less than three minutes

and never look back. “We didn’t perform well at all,” Dineen said. “We had a lot of turnovers that they didn’t even cause. Then they had like 15 layups on us, which is unacceptable. We can’t give them free layups.” Though the defense was lackluster in the final period, the offense was resilient. Dineen netted seven of his team-high 11 points in the fourth quarter. As a team, Free State scored 18 points on 7 of 14 shooting in the fourth quarter, which featured six different players. Junior Jalan Robinson and seniors Sloan Thomsen, Jacob Pavlyak and Cameron Clark, all were involved on the offensive end along with McCaffrey and Dineen.

Lions claw way to victory over LS North By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Stilwell — After Lee’s Summit North drained seven three-pointers in the second quarter, the Lawrence High boys basketball team had to find a way to stop the Broncos’ barrage from long distance in Tuesday’s firstround matchup of the Blue Valley Shootout. The Lions did not completely halt the Broncos from long range in the second half, but they decided to fight fire with fire to come away with a 78-74 victory over LS North. “Whoever is open, just throw the ball to them,” LHS sophomore Clarence end might nab the award for top defender himself. “Statistically, and really just as you watch his play throughout the year, I don’t know how you leave him out of that talk,” Kansas head coach David Beaty said late in the season, asked about Armstrong making a run at the Big 12’s defensive player of the year award. “He’s easily one of the best players in this conference, if not the best player on the defensive side. Whether it comes to what team you’re playin’ on or not, that’s not for me to say. But I know this: I’ve seen some really, really good football teams — good football players on great teams. And I’ve also seen some really good ones on teams that weren’t so good. It comes down to production.

JACKSON MALLORY (31) looks for a shot as Lawrence High played Lee’s Summit North Tuesday at the Blue Valley Shootout. King, who scored a teamhigh 22 points on eightof-eight shooting, said. “If you open, just shoot it. If you miss or make it, it don’t matter. Just shoot it.”

King was joined in double figures by senior Jackson Mallory and Noah Butler, who poured in 18 and 14 points, respectively. Lawrence (2-0) led 30-17

We’re still playin’ against the same guys they’re playin’ against.” Though the award ultimately went to senior Wildcats end Willis, Armstrong all but cemented his first-team spot during KU’s upset victory over Texas, in the Jayhawks’ home finale. Not only did he record three tackles for loss, two sacks and force a fumble, Armstrong racked up 11 tackles, a rare feat for a lineman. “I feel like it all came from how much pressure the coach put on the D-line,” Armstrong said of his best overall performance. “They talked about how good Texas O-line was and the game was gonna be mainly on us. As a group, all week, we have to go out there and grind all week.”

Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen reached a point this season where he expected Armstrong to produce as one of the league’s elite defensive players on a weekly basis. “Dorance is a legitimate, pass-rushing, every-down defensive end,” Bowen said. “He has a great skill set. You don’t have to take him out and hide him in run situations. He can anchor in. He’s what everyone wants and he’s playing at a high level.”

Second-team honors for two Jayhawks While Armstrong proved to be the only representative form KU (210 overall, 1-8 Big 12) on the AP’s first team, two other Jayhawks earned all-league distinctions,

after a Mallory three-pointer with five minutes and change left in the second quarter, but the Broncos ended the half on a 25-9 run — fueled by three triples from Javaunte Hawkins, two from Jordan Bynum and another from Tyler Aeilts. Mallory put it upon himself to take charge in the second half though, as he hit two of his five treys to start the third quarter for the Lions. The LHS senior helped the Lions shoot 13-of-24 from behind the arc. “I just knew that I was a senior leader, and I had to step up and show the guys what we needed to do,” Mallory said. “We just needed to settle down and play our game, and not play theirs.” as well. The interior strength of sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise and the range and play-making in the secondary from senior safety Fish Smithson landed both Jayhawks secondteam spots. From constantly applying pressure on offensive linemen, to producing 10.0 tackles for loss in a season during which he made 38 total stops and even blocked two kicks, Wise, who also produced three sacks, became a lineman offensive coordinators and quarterbacks couldn’t ignore. The 6-3, 285-pound tackle from Lewisville, Texas, even returned a fumble and broke up a pass while doing the dirty work at the line of scrimmage. As a team captain operating at the back end of

BRIEFLY LHS girls win at top-ranked Hayden Topeka — Behind a game-high 18 points from junior E’lease Stafford, Lawrence High’s girls basketball team earned a 71-60 road victory over Topeka Hayden on Tuesday. The score was tied at halftime, but the Lions pulled away with a big third quarter against the Wildcats (0-1, ranked No. 1 in 4A-II). “Great team win for us,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said. “E’lease and Skylar (Drum) were amazing. Our team defense in the third quarter was the difference in the game.” The Lions (2-0, No. 7 in 6A) will play host to Notre Dame de Sion (Mo.) at 7 p.m. Friday. the KU defense, Smithson did a bit of everything. Same as the year before, the safety led the Jayhawks in tackles, this time coming through with 93 stops — 70 solos. The 5-11, 190-pound team leader from Baltimore took away a team-best four interceptions in his final season and broke up seven other pass attempts. On the year, Smithson forced two fumbles, recovered one, made 2.5 tackles for loss and had a sack, as well.

ESPN.com begs to differ While Armstrong made the All-Big 12 first team released Tuesday by ESPN.com, too, he wasn’t a lone Jayhawk on that list. Wise played well enough to join his fellow sophomore lineman as a first-team selection.

KU WOMEN VS. HARVARD AT A GLANCE When: 7 tonight Where: Allen Fieldhouse Series: Kansas leads, 1-0

Paint Points Head coach Brandon Schneider’s has stressed the importance of getting production in the paint, or at the very least getting paint touches. In Sunday’s overtime loss to undefeated Alabama, Kansas scored a season-high 34 points in the paint. This feat was accomplished without the play of senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen,

who did not play due to an injury. The Jayhawks are now averaging 23.4 points per outing in the paint this season. They will have to continue to do so, if they hope to get back in the win column.

games of the year. The season average has now upped to 42.9 boards per contest. Entering Sunday’s matchup, Alabama had been averaging almost 10 rebounds more per game than Kansas. But KU was able to haul in a season-best 59 boards, as four different players hauled in a season high, to outrebound the Crimson Tide.

Glass crashers The Jayhawks have put an emphasis on rebounding as of late. In fact, they have averaged 46 rebounds over the last two Streaking games. To put that in compariJunior guard Chayla son, the team averaged around 41 rebounds through the first five Cheadle logged her first

from such diverse backgrounds to string together all of those victories, from the first on Nov. 26, 1993, to Tuesday’s, which featured a career-high 30 points from senior guard Frank Mason III and the Jayhawks coming within one swish of tying the school record for threepoint makes. “Coach Self made my dreams come true,” said former Illinois point guard Dee Brown of his former head coach who now is 600-189 all-time, the ninth fastest coach in the history of college basketball to reach 600 wins. “You deserve it and hopefully we’ll be doing this video again when you get 700,” said Darnell Jackson, a fellow Oklahoman and member of Self’s national championship team. Six members of that 2008 national title squad were represented on the video — Collins, Jackson, Russell Robinson, Cole Aldrich, Tyrel Reed and Mario Chalmers — and the man who hit the biggest shot in Self’s career, dubbed Mario’s Miracle, made sure to point out that his 2008 team was still the best. Jamari Traylor called Self “one of the most competitive men I know.” Former Oral Roberts captain Earl McClellan said, “Your greatest accomplishment, in my mind, is not what you’ve done on the court but all the things you’ve done off the court. Without a shadow of a doubt, I’m a better man today because of you.” And Aaron Miles put the cherry on top by call-

There was, of course, also some time for the players who actually delivered win No. 600 with what Mason called a complete game.

filming the video from the stands, Self stood and watched with his team before walking off the court together with his right hand thrusting a ceremonial game ball high into the air. “It’s a great experience for me and the guys, just to be a part of that,” Mason said. “Once everyone that’s on the team is done here, we’ll look back at that and it’ll be really special for us and something we always remember.” Added Jackson: “It just felt really good. I’m really proud of him, really happy for him. I know he’s gonna (have) continued success, but I’m just really glad to be a part of it.” When the smile fades and the moment fully sinks in, Self will get back to dissecting Tues-

day’s victory and begin preparing for Saturday’s game against former Big 12 foe Nebraska. What he’ll see is a team that played a “really good” first half and delivered one heck of a haymaker to open the second. Leading 51-35 at the break, after hitting nine of 15 first-half threepointers, the Jayhawks opened the second with a 10-0 run in 1:50 that put the Roos (6-4) on their heels and had them staggering the rest of the night. “I don’t know if it broke their spirit a little bit,” Self said. “But they didn’t respond probably as well as (UMKC coach) Kareem (Richardson) would have liked.” Tuesday’s largest lead of 45 points actually came with 3:58 to play. A

little while later, Self was able to empty his bench, which included inserting his son, Tyler, into the game on the memorable night. Tyler’s only shot missed, just long, but none of that mattered to either father or son following the game. The Jayhawks wore gray uniforms highlighted by a light pinstripe with white letters and numbers outlined in red. Freshman Josh Jackson made the first basket. Junior Dwight Coleby made the last. Mason (30) was the leading scorer, Jackson (12) the leading rebounder and Mason and Graham (5 each) the leading assist men. All 13 eligible Jayhawks played, and the game tipped off at 7:05 and the final horn sounded at 8:51. Those are the kinds of

Kurtis Townsend on expanding the range on their shots. “It helps a lot with confidence when you know you have that range,” Graham said. “Then guys will respect you and then it makes the game easier. They will try to push up and guard you and then we will use our quickness to get by them.” Mason didn’t let the team’s slow start from beyond the arc change his perception of anything.

“I knew all along we had good shooters on the team,” Mason said. “We work really hard every day throughout the summer, every day of practice, and we put a lot of reps in. I knew at some point in time we would get it going.” The veterans also know hot shooting doesn’t carry every night, so they aren’t fooling themselves in any way. “There’s going to be a game where we’re not making these shots

and we’ll really find out what kind of team we are and if we can get stops and defend,” Graham said, beating his coach to that quote by about 10 minutes, always a good sign. “We’re just going to stay aggressive, keep passing how we’ve been passing it and keep shooting.” They’re doing what their coach wants them to do and Self enjoyed the way they did it. Still, he didn’t enjoy it as much as when the Jayhawks made 2-of-

NOTEBOOK

Self: Jackson played ‘best game’ By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self will be the first to point out when one of his players is not playing up to his standards. But it takes a little more for Self to flip the compliment-meter to high. Tuesday night, after picking up the 600th victory of his 24-year coaching career with a 105-62 beating of UMKC at Allen Fieldhouse, Self did just that with freshman Josh Jackson. “I thought it was Josh’s best game since he’s been here,” Self said of the young guard who finished with 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting and added 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 28 energy-filled minutes. “If guys could catch the ball and finish, you know, he’d have eight or nine assists instead of five. But he rebounded the ball better than anybody has at any point in time this year and inside the zone he makes the game so much easier for everybody else.” In the zone is a special place for Self, often reserved for the players he trusts most with the best feel for the game. “I told him he was good in there,” Self said. “But he’s got a long ways to go before he’s as good as Julian Wright inside the zone. He’s the best. But I tell you what, he’s not far off, if he’s not already there.” What’s more, Self truly believes Jackson is still just scratching the surface on how good he can be. “He’s just now starting to get it,” Self said. “I still think his best ball is down the road as he gets more comfortable. ... I mean, blocking shots, altering, pitching ahead, rebounding, pitching ahead in transition, making the game easier for others, he’s about as good as I’ve seen.”

Svi starts 2nd half Although he shot just 4-of-12 from the floor, including a sub-50 percent mark of 2-of-7 from threepoint range for the first time in four games, junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk started the second half in place of sophomore Lagerald Vick. “I just didn’t think Lagerald was into it,” Self said when asked why he went to Svi instead of Vick. “I also think that maybe guys don’t need to get comfortable, too.” In 28 minutes — compared to just 22 for Vick — Mykahiliuk tallied 10 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

So unselfish It’s a rite of passage of sorts for coaches of nonconference foes to walk into Allen Fieldhouse and explain exactly what impressed them most after taking a loss at the hands of the Jayhawks. UMKC coach Kareem Richardson, after congratulating Self on win No. 600, did just that Tuesday night. And while he talked about three-point shooting, physicality and the

Kansas defense, one thing stood out to Richardson above all else. “They’re one of the most unselfish teams that I’ve seen play and they’re fun to watch,” he said. “I’m just really amazed at how unselfish they are.”

This and that KU’s 105-point game marked the 111th 100-point game in program history and 19th of the Bill Self era ... The win made KU 750-109 all-time in Allen Fieldhouse and extended the Jayhawks’ homecourt winning streak to a nation’s best 47 games ... The Jayhawks set season highs for points (105), points in a half (54 in the second), field goals (39), three-point field goals (15), offensive rebounds (21) and total rebounds (53) ... Devonte’ Graham’s six three-point makes moved him into 20th place all-time on KU’s three-point shooting list. KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON ROARS after a bucket and a foul during the first half.

A caramelized onion tart that can ease holiday strain By The Culinary Institute of America

W

e know that it isn’t always enough for a holiday recipe to be delicious. When you are knee-deep in holiday cooking and baking, it can feel like you never turn your oven off. So the most helpful recipes are the ones we can prepare ahead of time, and our cheese and onion tart recipe fits the bill. This dish is assembled much like a quiche. The tart dough can be made weeks ahead and frozen — you can even roll it and freeze it in the pan, so you don’t have to clean up stray flour the week of your party. The filling is a simple egg custard, layered with caramelized onions. You can caramelize the onions earlier in the week, and even mix in and cook the flour that’s added as a thickener. Just cool the whole mixture and seal it tightly in a zip-top bag. Bring it to room temperature, then spread it in your tart shell when you’re ready. You can bake the assembled tart a day or two before your party. You won’t want to serve it fresh out of the oven

anyway, since the custard filling needs to cool and set. Remove it from the refrigerator the day of your party and either serve it at room temperature or quickly warm it in the oven before slicing. Caramelizing apples is an easy way to dress up this tart, and we bet you’ll find yourself adding them to lots of other seasonal recipes too. Simply toss peeled, sliced apples in a little bit of sugar and a pinch of salt, then slowly cook them in a skillet with some melted butter. Serve them in a bowl alongside the tart. If you decide to experiment with cheese, remember that you will want one that melts well, like cheddar, fontina, or young Gouda. A smoked Gouda will bring out the flavors of the bacon and contrast nicely with the

sweet onions. You can also serve this tart as small bites. Use a square or rectangular tart pan to make your tart, and once it is baked and cooled, cut it into small squares that can be passed as hors d’oeuvre. You can garnish each piece with a parsley leaf or a dollop of apple butter, if you like. And if you have any leftovers, this tart makes a great next-day breakfast. Serve it alongside some fresh fruit or a light salad.

A Nutrient To Know About Cranberry

Nature's Way™

Cranberries contain many phytonutrients that have been shown to have a particular affinity for protecting the cardiovascular system, such as proanthocyanidins, the oftentouted compounds in red wine. The phytonutrients in cranberries appear to help protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, help keep the blood flowing smoothly, modulate blood pressure and help to modulate inflammation.* MaraNatha®
