Lawmakers begin debating repeal of LLC exemption

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — The largest committee room in the Statehouse was packed Thursday, with many people left standing in the

halls, as the House Taxation Committee opened hearings on one of the weightiest issues of the session: whether to repeal one of Gov. Sam Brownback’s signature tax cuts of 2012 that benefits the owners of more

than 330,000 farms and businesses.

House Bill 2023 would put a sunset, retroactive to Jan. 1, on what is commonly called the LLC exemption, a law that completely exempts from state taxes income

earned from pass-through entities such as limited liability companies, partnerships and sole proprietorships.

The issue has been pushed to the forefront as the state faces a mounting revenue shortfall that

analysts say could continue for years into the future unless the Legislature either raises taxes or cuts spending to bring the budget back into structural balance.

KanCare CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

requiring Kansas to develop a Corrective Action plan (CAP) describing the actions it will take to correct the identified noncompliance,” James G. Scott, CMS’s associate regional administrator in Kansas City, said in the letter.

The official notification of CMS’s denial came in a separate letter dated Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Some of the deficiencies cited relate to the very core concepts that were supposed to make KanCare superior to traditional Medicaid programs.

The idea behind KanCare was that the state would hand over administration of the program to private insurance companies that would operate it as a “managed care” program, meaning each patient would have a plan of care, agreed to by the patient, and the companies, known as Managed Care Organizations, or MCOs, would ensure that

“

We were telling CMS before KanCare was officially established (in 2013) that these problems were going to exist.”

— Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee

patients were getting the care outlined in the plan.

In order to do that, however, the state needed a waiver from CMS to operate its Medicaid program differently from the traditional fee-for-service model. That waiver is set to expire Dec. 31, 2017.

Kansas applied for a one-year extension. The letters indicate that CMS is denying that request for the time being, at least until state officials submit a corrective action plan detailing how they will come into compliance.

In the Jan. 13 letter, CMS said it uncovered “significant compliance deficiencies” in the planning process, such as MCOs asking patients to sign incomplete forms, and even revising the plans without input from the patient.

CMS also said there was a lack of coordination

between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, the two agencies responsible for KanCare.

It also noted that, “The State’s oversight of the MCOs has diminished over the four years of KanCare operation.”

It noted that the first annual report of the KanCare program was a comprehensive document that identified issues and included corrective action plans for the MCOs. But the 2014 and 2015 reports “were each two pages long, with little content of substance.”

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, who is considered the chief architect of KanCare, was in Washington Thursday to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and to meet with

congressional leaders about the future of Medicaid. He issued an email statement dismissing CMS’s action as politically motivated and said the renewal process is “on track.”

“This is simply an ugly parting shot from the Obama administration at Governor Brownback on their way out the door,” Colyer said. “It is politically motivated pure and simple, and we expect this situation to be resolved quickly once the new administration in Washington comes into office.”

Colyer said the state received a preliminary audit report in November and that it had already begun to address issues raised in that report.

“In November the state received a preliminary audit report and we had already begun to address these issues,” Colyer said.

“There are no revelations in this most recent audit report.”

Kansas lawmakers, however, had a far different response to the news, which was first reported on the Topeka Capital-Journal’s website Wednesday night.

March

Sen. Vicki Schmidt, RTopeka, who chairs the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, said she plans to hold hearings starting Monday to ask questions of KDHE Secretary Susan Mosier, whose department is primarily responsible for administering KanCare.

“Secretary Mosier was in my office for a halfhour yesterday (Wednesday) and never mentioned this,” Schmidt told reporters Thursday.

Sen. Laura Kelly, of Topeka, the ranking Democrat on the health committee who has also served on the joint KanCare oversight committee, said lawmakers have known for some time about the problems identified by CMS. “We were telling CMS before KanCare was officially established (in 2013) that these problems were going to exist,” Kelly said. “We have been in regular communication with CMS over the last few years, keeping them abreast of what the issues were with the program.”

being deeply opposed to anything that celebrates misogyny.”

In Topeka, Jahanbani hopes to ensure lawmakers whose decisions directly affect her life see her, along with other marchers.

“What’s happening in Washington, things that the president-elect has said and the things that by implication many Republicans have endorsed, physically standing up to that on Saturday is why I want to do this,” she said.

“This is what believing in equal rights for all looks like.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Other residents are heading there in smaller groups by road or plane.

Though not naming Trump, the Women’s March on Washington mission statement calls the rhetoric of the presidential election insulting, threatening and demonizing to women and other marginalized groups.

“We join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore,” the mission statement says. “The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women’s rights are human rights.

We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.”

Lawrence resident Megan Brokaw is a costate administrator for the Women’s March on Washington initiative in Kansas. She said she volunteered to help with the Kansas chapter a few days after the election.

The group has organized three 54-passenger buses departing — two from Lawrence and one from Wichita — this morning, driving overnight to Washington, and leaving the capital Saturday evening after the march.

All three buses are full, Brokaw said. She said her group also helped coordinate ride-sharing for people who wanted to drive to Washington or were wait-listed for the buses.

Another 56-seat bus — also full — left Thursday night from Plymouth Congregational Church.

Associate Pastor Eleanor McCormick said a “generous” member of the congregation enabled the church to charter the bus.

Other donations enabled people who couldn’t afford the $100 fee to ride.

Plymouth bus riders, mostly church regulars, will be hosted Friday night in the homes of members of another church congregation in Alexandria, Va., McCormick said.

Marches in Topeka and Kansas City, Mo., are among more than 600 “Sister Marches” expected to involve an additional 1.3 million people worldwide, according to the Women’s March on Washington website.

Lawrence residents are headed to those, as well.

Participants say they hope to keep gathering and continue their movement after they return.

Judy Prather Prather, 64, is “very aware” that she is white, educated and has enjoyed a good life and support to realize her potential.

“This is my first protest,” said Prather, who is going to Washington on the Plymouth bus.

“There are people who would like to be there who are too poor, too frightened or too marginalized to be there, and so I would like to lend a voice to them.”

Prather does not like Trump — she thinks he’s “unqualified” for the office — but protesting

him is not her motivation. She gave that a lot of thought before signing up, and she wants to promote kindness, in particular for the future for her three young grandchildren.

Marylin Hinojosa Hinojosa, 27, is a Latina artist heading to Washington in the Makerspace van, a trip she said would have been “impossible” for her to afford on her own.

Megan Brokaw Brokaw, 31, said she needed a positive, constructive way to channel her frustration after the election.

“I feel very deeply that being a part of this movement was not only for me personally, but for those who fought for my rights before me and for those who will come after me,” she said. “I also feel that as a straight, white woman I have a responsibility to stand up for those who are most vulnerable and most at-risk in the current climate.”

With the Washington march and through local meetings after it, Brokaw hopes to bring together what she called various fractured movements.

“We want to move forward as a united group and let our legislators know that we are here,” she said. “We hope to continue this work and help bring about cultural changes that are necessary to preserve and uphold the rights of all Americans.”

Eleanor McCormick “This is very much a personal, a professional, a faith walk — march — for me,” McCormick said.

“I can’t think of anything more important to be doing with my time and ministry right now.”

As a pastor in the United Church of Christ, McCormick, 33, said she was troubled by election rhetoric and felt compelled to go to Washington to publicly stand with “those that have been demonized or threatened.”

She said that includes women, immigrants such as her German-citizen husband and people from diverse religious faiths.

“For myself, I would like to see in the spirit of democracy our elected leaders voicing their concern for human rights, their concern for human dignity and their commitment to a justice that respects all of our neighbors as ourselves,” she said.

would be able to withstand the four — or possibly five, depending on wind speed — least destructive tornado types out of the six designated on the EF Scale.

The most dangerous of these, EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, are rare but not undocumented in Kansas.

Nearly 10 years ago, an EF5 tornado struck the tiny southwestern Kansas community of Greensburg, leveling nearly the entire town and killing 11 people and injuring 63 others in the process.

For now, the school district feels confident in the shelter spaces already provided, Barron said. He feels just as confident, however, that talks about school safety will remain an ongoing conversation moving forward.

“We have dedicated areas that we go to right now that are interior spaces that we feel are adequate,” Barron said. “In the future at some point, if our school board or the community decides that that’s something they want to engage in, we’d be more than happy to sit down and discuss it.”

The new storm shelter requirements will apply to facilities typically built by the city or county as well. The requirements wouldn’t cover renovations, but would apply to newly constructed facilities deemed critical to operate during an emergency, such as 911 call centers, police stations and fire stations.

City officials said the idea is to ensure the viability of such facilities in event of a tornado or other disaster.

“That’s the idea, that you have those first responders available when you really need them, after a tornado or something like that,” said Kurt Schroeder, assistant director of development services. “So hopefully the responders in that facility or the communications in that facility are still available.”

Dates prove burdensome for student on a budget Dear Annie: I have been dating this girl, ‘‘Laura,’’ for about two months. Things are going extremely well.

She’s kind, funny, intelligent — all the things I look for in a woman.

But we’ve been on many, many dates, and she’s only offered to pay once. I am happy to pay, and I want to — she’s a special girl, so I feel fortunate to have the pleasure of her company, and I really do care for her — but I’m in law school right now, and my well doesn’t run that deep.

I’ve tried to drop hints here and there — suggesting we go to a more casual restaurant instead of the one with the tablecloth, hit the matinee rather than the movie at the Saturday date-night hour, etc. — and she’s always down for the change of plans,

In FX’s “Taboo,” Tom Hardy’s character takes on the East India Company, a corporate arm of the British Empire that controlled wide swaths of the globe with money, spies and private armies.

Streaming today on Netflix, the six-part 18th-century period drama “Frontier” (TV-MA) stars Jason M o m o a as Declan Harp, a larger-than-life rebel who challenges the Hudson Bay Company’s monopoly on trade with Northern trappers. Born of Irish and Native American parents, Harp projects authority and menace in equal measure. He’s first seen slitting the throats of two British Redcoats and then releasing a third, so he will return home to terrorize his confederates with tales of savagery. The setting of ‘‘Frontier’’ may seem like a Western, but the strategizing of rival, violent men over control of territories is straight out of gangster movies.

While neither as violent nor as opulent and weird as ‘‘Taboo,’’ ‘‘Frontier’’ presents an entertaining, easy-to-follow adventure story about a rebel and the mercenary agents of a faceless business out to destroy him. And both series offer dark histories of large trading companies responsible for the settling and colonization of territories as far-flung as Canada and India. In many ways these corporate entities created the British Empire that the queen, now seen on Sunday nights on PBS’ ‘‘Victoria,’’ inherited.

But it’s not all history and intrigue. ‘‘Frontier’’ packs in many familiar elements of adventure stories. There’s a teenage stowaway (Landon Liboiron), a drunken priest (Christian McKay), a fawning trapper middleman out to play both sides, and the tough-as-nails saloon owner (Diana Bentley) who seems to know everything and everyone west of Halifax. It’s easy to wheedle information out of drunken soldiers and adventurers when your assistant, a fetching-yet-innocent bar wench (Lyla Porter-Follows), wears such revealing outfits.

While engaging, the production values of ‘‘Frontier’’ seem more ‘‘basic cable’’ than some of Netflix’s more ambitious projects.

Perhaps that’s because it originally aired on Discovery Canada.

better care of themselves.

I was exhausted and tired while raising my children and working full time. I wish now I had not expected myself to do it all. I would have been a better person, parent and wife if I had done something to reduce my workload either at work or at home.

And I might be feeling better now in my 60s if I’d taken better care of myself.

So my advice to everyone is to do the best you can to get enough rest, exercise and good food and take care of your emotional needs.

It’s not selfish, because it does benefit everyone around you.

Much needed Medicaid talk Lawmakers are right to press for a discussion on expanding Medicaid.

I

t’s good that a bill to expand Medicaid in Kansas has been introduced in the Legislature. It’s a debate that lawmakers need to have even with the looming threat that Congress will pull the plug on Obamacare.

State Rep. Sue Concannon, R-Beloit, asked for the bill to be introduced. “What we heard during the campaign season was that there are a lot of Kansans who want us to talk about this,” she said.

Concannon is vice chair of the Health and Human Services Committee. The committee is set to hold hearings on expansion in early February.

Kansas has one of the strictest eligibility requirements for Medicaid of any state.

It is available only to pregnant women, children, disabled adults and seniors who meet certain income guidelines. Medicaid expansion provided for under the Affordable Care Act extends Medicaid to those younger than 65 whose family income is at or below 133 percent of federal poverty guidelines.

The federal government paid for 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion for 2014 through 2016. Federal funding dropped to 97 percent this year and will gradually decrease to 90 percent by 2020.

Kansas is among 19 mostly conservative states that have refused to participate in Medicaid expansion out of opposition to Obamacare. Gov. Sam Brownback has said repeatedly that Obamacare is part of the problem in Kansas, not the solution.

The governor blamed Obamacare for cuts in Medicare that he said have been far more devastating to health care in Kansas than any benefits Medicaid expansion could provide.

But the Kansas Hospital Association estimates Kansas has forfeited more than $1.6 billion — and counting — in federal funds by not participating in expansion since the program began on Jan. 1, 2014.

An estimated 150,000 Kansans would be covered by the expansion.

That’s a lot of residents to overlook and significant funding to dismiss.

There is the issue of Congress, which has already taken steps to repeal Obamacare. But it’s important not to confuse the unpopularity of Obamacare with the popularity of certain aspects of Obamacare. In other words, even if Obamacare is repealed, it’s reasonable to expect that aspects of the program, including Medicaid expansion, could continue.

“We need to at least have a thorough discussion about the needs of 150,000 Kansans who don’t have health insurance,” said state Rep. John Wilson, a Lawrence Democrat. “And we need to get a sense of what it would cost us should we want to provide coverage for them if it’s in a different form than under the Affordable Care Act.” Wilson is right. Kansas has left a lot of money on the table by not participating in Medicaid expansion and the state has yet to offer an alternative solution. It’s past time to put the politics of Obamacare aside and look seriously at what federal Medicaid expansion might do to help Kansans.

Russia’s info warfare on the rise Washington — Last February, a top Russian cyber official told a security conference in Moscow that Russia was working on new strategies for the “information arena” that would be equivalent to testing a nuclear bomb and would “allow us to talk to the Americans as equals.”

Andrey Krutskikh, a senior Kremlin adviser, made the startling comments at the Russian National Information Security Forum, or “Infoforum 2016,” held Feb. 4 and 5. His remarks were transcribed by a Russian who attended the gathering and translated for me by an independent European cyber expert.

Krutskikh’s comments are important because they may help explain the radical strategic doctrine that underlies Russia’s hacking and attempted manipulation of the 2016 presidential campaign in America, as well as Russian political subversion in Europe. His title is “special representative of the president for international cooperation in the field of information security.”

A senior Obama administration official described Krutskikh as a “seniorlevel adviser” to President Vladimir Putin and “a longstanding player in cyber issues” at the foreign ministry. The official said he couldn’t confirm the details of Krutskikh’s remarks, but that “they sound like something Andrey would say.”

According to notes of Krutskikh’s speech, he told his Russian audience: “You think we are living in 2016.

“

Russian hacking during the 2016 presidential campaign, as outlined in the unclassified report released this month

by U.S. intelligence agencies, is an example of Russia’s use of new tools in this continuum of conflict.”

No, we are living in 1948.

And do you know why?

Because in 1949, the Soviet Union had its first atomic bomb test. And if until that moment, the Soviet Union was trying to reach agreement with [President Harry] Truman to ban nuclear weapons, and the Americans were not taking us seriously, in 1949 everything changed and they started talking to us on an equal footing.”

Krutskikh continued, “I’m warning you: We are at the verge of having ‘something’ in the information arena, which will allow us to talk to the Americans as equals.”

Putin’s cyber adviser stressed to the Moscow audience the importance for Russia of having a strong

hand in this new domain. If Russia is weak, he explained, “it must behave hypocritically and search for compromises. But once it becomes strong, it will dictate to the Western partners [the U.S. and its allies] from the position of power.”

Krutskikh’s comments may have been a precursor of a new doctrine for information operations announced publicly by the Kremlin in December. The senior administration official described the Russian strategy: “They think of information space as a domain of warfare. In the U.S, we tend to have a binary view of conflict — we’re at peace or at war. The Russian doctrine is more of a continuum. You can be at different levels of conflict, along a sliding scale.”

Russian hacking during the 2016 presidential campaign, as outlined in the unclassified report released this month by U.S. intelligence agencies, is an example of Russia’s use of new tools in this continuum of conflict, the U.S. official said. “Certainly, I believe the Russians are working to increase their capabilities in cyberspace, because they’ve realized they can use cyberspace to pursue their foreign policy goals,” he said.

In Russia’s view, America is pushing just as aggressively in the information space, but denies it. “Things we perceive as free speech, they perceive as aggressive behavior from the West,” noted the senior U.S. official.

Putin, for example, saw Hillary Clinton’s support for

anti-Putin dissidents as an attempt to foment a “color revolution.” Russians also claim (without public evidence) that the U.S. orchestrated last year’s disclosure of the “Panama Papers,” which included allegations of Russian money laundering, and last year’s allegations by the World AntiDoping Agency of drug use

by Russian athletes.

In Putin’s mind, the U.S, attacked first in the information war. Russia is now strong enough to retaliate, as Krutskikh signaled in his February 2016 speech.

Krutskikh and other Russian cyber experts don’t appear to have been deterred by public warnings or sanctions. Krutskikh was quoted by the Russian Information Agency Dec. 29 describing U.S. sanctions announced that day as “the agony of the ruling elite,” reflecting “the personal hatred” of President Obama, and “an attempt to prevent future cooperation.”

“We don’t exclude the lifting of the sanctions after Trump enters office,” Krutskikh said.

Krutskikh’s comments highlight the emerging world of information warfare, where “fake news” and hacking are tools for covert warriors in many nations.

The senior administration official warns: “The Russians are particularly advanced — in technology, organization and doctrine.

They’re at the head of the pack. But there will be others.”

Some predictions for the coming year

By Leonard Krishtalka

l Letters should be 250 words or

5A

After 2016’s wild ride in politics, science, sports, and entertainment, no one in their right mind would dare venture predictions for 2017.

Here goes.

1. This is easy. A total eclipse of the sun will occur on Aug. 21, when the moon will pass between the sun and the Earth. Lawrence will be on the geographic 50-yard line for this pre-season No-Sun Bowl (see No. 5 below).

2. About half the U.S. population will deliberately avoid using the word “trump” — as in, “Climatechange denial in Congress continues to trump science, reason and evidence.”

People will rush to the thesaurus for synonyms: beat, eclipse, override. Similarly, “bush” was bushwhacked for eight years.

3. Science deniers on Capitol Hill will stick to their spiel that climate change is a hoax. Some will cite Julian Assange in blaming the Chinese for hacking the computers and data banks at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, the Department of Energy, the Democratic National Committee and Al

Gore’s house.

Others will blame a global scienceinternet conspiracy led by Meryl Streep.

Trumping these denials Krishtalka is an article

by Francis Molena in the March 1912 issue of Popular Mechanics (page 339): The effects of the combustion of coal on the climate.

“Since burning coal produces carbon dioxide it may be inquired whether the enormous use of that fuel in modern times may not be an important factor in filling the atmosphere … indirectly raising the temperature of the earth.” It’s 1912. Molena might have been influenced by film star Mary Pickford, but not Meryl Streep. He also couldn’t have been part of a worldwide science conspiracy — no internet, no computers, no analytical models to smear. Molena just used solid empirical reasoning and solid data to connect the dots. He tied CO2 to global warming with two facts: 500 million tons of coal were mined for fuel in 1911; and above normal temperatures for 11 out of the 12 months that year. What

would Molena’s facts be today? Billions of tons of coal mined during the past 140 years, hitting a peak of 1.2 billion in 2008. During the same time, a dramatic spike in atmospheric CO2 and increasingly hotter average global temperatures. 2016 was the hottest yet. Then there’s ice sheets melting, glaciers disappearing, Arctic ice cover shrinking, seas warming, coastlines rising, oceans acidifying, birds breeding earlier, plants blooming earlier.

4. Secretary-elect Rick Perry, nominated to lead the Department of Energy, will mysteriously be AWOL from work until the August eclipse. Why? He forgot the name of the agency he was supposed to head. For Perry, this is a case of “deja adieu,” bid memory goodbye — again. His first DOE lapse was during the 2012 Republican debates, when he vowed to shut down three federal agencies as president — “Education, Commerce, and … and … can’t remember the third.”

In his absence, DOE scientists continue working on climate-change research.

5. In sports, it’s heartening that the number of college bowl games has kept

pace with the rise in global temperature and CO2 concentration. There were five bowl games in the 1930s, 12 by the 1970s, 21 by 2000, 35 by 2010 and 41 by the 20162017 season, counting the championship game. With few exceptions, bowl games were once reserved for the best teams — champions of their conference; those with an overwhelming winning record. No more. If the NCAA is good at anything, it’s math. Forty-one bowls means 82 teams—too many for each to have a winning record. So, the NCAA lowered the bowl-eligible bar— first in 2010, to teams with as many wins as losses; then, in 2012, to teams with, yes, losing records. A quarter of the 80 teams in the current bowl season didn’t have a winning record. Hey, it could get worse. Nine more bowl games, including the as yet unnamed Dubai Bowl, are in the NCAA hopper for approval. So, 50 bowl games next season with 100 teams, some, likely, with only one win. Well, as long as they won it for the Gipper.

determining factor in their decision to do business in Kansas or in Finney County,” DuVall said. “Not one prospect has told us that.

Meanwhile, Dave Trabert, president of the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute, urged the panel to reject the bill, even though he agreed with those who said the tax break was fundamentally unfair.

“Fairness is a legitimate issue,” he said. “But this legislation only addresses one of at least dozens of fairness issues that are in statute. In fact, one is baked into our Constitution.”

That was a reference to Article 11 of the Kansas Constitution dealing with property taxes, and providing that commercial property is taxed on 30 percent of its market value while residential property is taxed on only 11.5 percent.

But he pointed to other inequities in the tax code, including sales tax exemptions for a long list of items and provisions that allow state employees not to pay taxes on the employer contributions into their pension plans, either when the money is put in or when it’s taken out after retirement.

The purpose of Thursday’s hearing was only to receive public testimony.

The committee is expected to work on the bill and possibly vote to send it to the full House at a later date.

requirement for new development downtown to provide additional parking, and no permitting systems are in place for the on-street parking in adjacent neighborhoods.

McGuire said the strategic plan will look at city policy, zoning or otherwise, that affect parking.

“Ultimately, that’s one of the 30,000-foot questions that needs to be addressed through this study,” McGuire said. “And the public input in particular is going to help a lot with fleshing out what is the community’s preference. And then — the more tangible part of it — how do we make sure we’re accomplishing that?”

In addition to city policy, McGuire said the parking strategic plan will look at parking facilities, metering, technology, as well as potential programs, such as permitting or parking sharing.

McGuire said the city will also provide an online survey through Lawrence Listens, and it plans to get input from University of Kansas students.

A list of meeting times and locations follows:

weekly by residents, especially with ideas about different types of solutions that the city ought to think about implementing for parking,” McGuire said. “…

We’re just trying to cast a wide net and capture anything that’s important to people in the study area.”

The public meetings will include nine sessions for various stakeholder groups, such as employees and owners of downtown businesses, bars and restaurants, neighborhood residents, as well as developers and Realtors working in the area.

The consultants, from Desman Design Management, will facilitate the meeting, and city staff will also be present.

The strategic parking plan will guide the operation of the parking system in downtown and surrounding neighborhoods for the next five to 10 years.

But Acting Revenue Secretary Sam Williams urged the panel not to pass the bill, arguing that it has done what it was intended to do — create new jobs and boost the Kansas economy.

“Kansas boasts five consecutive years of record new business formations,” Williams said.

“We’ve reversed 20 years of cumulative wealth losses to Missouri. Unemployment has remained under 5 percent for 17 consecutive months.”

But Williams got off to an awkward start when he admitted that the fiscal note his agency had prepared underestimated how much new revenue the state would receive by repealing the tax cut.

Williams said the $178.6 million projected in the note for next fiscal year was too low, and he said a revised fiscal note would be submitted soon.

Others have estimated the LLC exemption costs the state upwards of $250 million a year.

Williams specifically pointed to Kansas City, Kan., as an example of one community that has seen rapid job growth since the tax cuts. But Democratic Rep. Kathy Wolfe Moore, who represents that area, said the tax cuts had nothing to do with it.

“There has been gubernatorial assistance in Kansas City, Kan., that has helped us tremendously, but it just wasn’t this governor,” she said.

Committee Chairman Steve Johnson, R-Assaria, said the low unemployment could be due to any number of factors.

“Our unemployment number by virtually all measures is low, but yet we don’t seem to be finding the revenue,” Johnson said.

Some of the most stinging criticism of the tax cut came from former Rep. Mark Hutton, a Wichita Republican, who supported the bill in 2012, but who said he has since changed his mind about the business tax exemption, in part because of what he said was a basic unfairness about the law.

Hutton did not run for reelection in 2016.

“For me, this has never been about the income,” Hutton said. “It’s been about a balanced tax policy and the fact that we should respect all of our taxpayers equally.”

Lona DuVall, president of the Finney County Economic Development Corporation, drove from Garden City to Topeka to testify in favor of the bill. She said that community has seen significant growth in recent years, but she said none of it has been due to the tax cuts.

“We have never had a prospect, either before or after 2012, who identified state corporate income tax rates as any kind of

Trump’s test: Finding his voice Stakes are high as divided world awaits his inaugural speech Susan Page USA TODAY

Never has a new president needed a spectacular inaugural address more than Donald Trump does.

Just after noon Friday, the real estate mogul and reality TV star will be sworn in as the nation’s 45th president amid fiercer controversy and bigger protests than any incoming commander in chief in modern times. Even during economic depression and world war, civil rights struggles and Vietnam protests, presidential transitions typically have been marked by a sense of national unity and goodwill, even if it doesn’t last long.

Not this time.

The polarized era, the blunt weapon of social media, critics’ questions about the legitimacy of his election and his own divisive rhetoric since Election Day mean Trump actually seems to be losing ground.

His approval ratings in a string of nationwide polls out this week are lower than the 46% of the vote he carried Nov. 8. His disapproval rating in an ABC/Washington Post poll is higher than the disapproval ratings of the previous three presidents at this point — combined. That includes George W. Bush, sworn in after his own disputed election.

Standing on the West Front of the Capitol, Trump will address the largest audience of his life as battle lines are drawn around his presidency. It will be a test for a man known more for communicating in blistering 140-character tweets than in a scripted, longform oration.

“This is a time everybody’s tuned in,” former Virginia congressman Tom Davis, a Republican, said in an interview. “This is his opportunity, if not to turn it around, at least to get on a different trajectory.”

“I think the goal is to be optimistic; the goal is to be inclusive; the goal is to outline your agenda,” said Florida Gov. Rick Scott, an early Trump supporter. “It’s no different than in your business life: If you say where you’re going to go, there’s a greater chance you’ll find people who will help you get there.”

Of the myriad ways to judge a U.S. presidency, one measure emerges as the bottom line for many Americans: jobs.

Much like a baseball player’s runs batted in or a company’s earnings, the number of jobs created during a president’s tenure is the vital statistic etched in memory decades later. Bill Clinton? 23 million.

“He wants to continue to talk about issues and areas where he can unite the country, bring it together,” spokesman Sean Spicer said Thursday.

The most successful inaugural addresses have been less a laundry list of legislative goals — that’s the stuff of State of the Union speeches — and more about inspiration and aspiration, especially at times of division. “We are all Republicans; we are all Federalists,” Thomas Jefferson declared in the country’s first peaceful transfer of power, in 1801. During the Great Depression, in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt reassured Americans, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Even Richard Nixon, after an election in a time of race riots, war protests and political assassination, embraced conciliation in 1969. “We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another,” he said.

Clearly there are limits to what even the most soaring rhetoric can achieve. Nixon ended up resigning under threat of impeachment in his second term.

Abraham Lincoln called on “the better angels of our nature” in 1861, but the Civil War soon followed. In 1865 in his second inaugural address, perhaps the most eloquent one in American history, Lincoln urged a riven nation to bind up its wounds “with malice toward none, with charity for all.”

That’s precisely the message Trump needs to deliver, advised Tad Devine, the top strategist for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year.

“What he should do is ‘with malice toward none, with charity for all,’ ” he said. “So far, he’s had malice toward everybody from John Lewis to Meryl Streep.”

A spate of provocative postings on Twitter — including tweet

SHAWN THEW, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

People protest against President-elect Donald Trump in front of the Supreme Court in Washington on Nov. 15. storms with the civil rights icon (“all talk, talk, talk, no action”) and the award-winning actress (“overrated”) — have grabbed headlines and fueled the frenetic air surrounding Trump’s transition. Thursday morning, he posted a tweet arguing he wasn’t to blame for a divided country.

Trump has taken fewer steps than other presidents-elect in modern times to reach out to the Americans who didn’t vote for him, presumably one reason he has gained the approval of few of them. When he embarked on a post-election “thank you” tour, he went only to states he carried, speaking to supporters in campaign-style rallies. Unlike his recent predecessors, he didn’t reach across the aisle to name a Democratic officeholder to his Cabinet.

President Obama has warned he might break with a modern precedent himself. Bush and oth-

“We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another.”

President Richard Nixon dedicates his new administration to the cause of “peace among nations” in his inaugural speech Jan. 20, 1969.

er recent former presidents have largely stepped away from political combat after moving out of the Oval Office. At his final White House news conference Wednesday, the outgoing president said he would speak out if he saw threats to “core values,” a term he indicated could include

establishing a Muslim registry and deporting young undocumented immigrants, the so-called DREAMers.

Trump’s defenders cite his remarks on election night, after his unexpected victory, as an apt template for his inaugural address. Then, in a 15-minute speech, reading from teleprompters before a bank of American flags, Trump congratulated Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton on “a very, very hard-fought campaign” and thanked her for her service to the country. He promised to be a president for “all Republicans and Democrats and independents.”

Friday, he’ll have another chance to speak to the supporters who will be massed on the National Mall to cheer him — and an unprecedented influx of demonstrators who have flocked to town to protest him.

Unemployment cut more than half under Obama v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Great Depression and departs Friday, achieved historic success.

The economy has added 15.5 million jobs since employment bottomed in early 2010, and the 156,000 picked up in December marked the 75th straight month of payroll gains, an all-time record. The grand total for Obama’s two terms, after figuring in the severe job losses of 2009: 10.5 million.

The unemployment rate has plunged to 4.7% from 10% in 2009. Wages are finally climbing in earnest.

“He was about as good a job creator as can be expected, given the cards he was dealt,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. Besides a devastating financial crisis, those cards included a recalcitrant Republican-dominated Congress for much of his term, a weak global economy and sharp federal budget cuts.

Some critics point to the dimmer side of the employment picture.

The share of Americans working or looking for jobs is near historic lows.

About 10 million prime-age men aren’t in the labor force — a lingering casualty of the Great Recession.

Wage increases were stagnant at about 2% for most of the 71⁄2-year-old recovery.

“Several million people are not earning income, not producing,” says Dan Mitchell, senior fellow at the conservative Cato Institute. “I don’t think it’s good for the economy, and it’s not good for those people.”

Mitchell at least partly blames the substantial increase in the disability and food stamp rolls during and after the recession, which he says encouraged some Americans to remain idle.

GERALD HERBERT, AP

Vice President Biden watches as President Obama signs the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Feb. 17, 2009.

“We’ve expanded the welfare state,” he says.

Lawrence Mishel, president of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, says such payments, along with extended unemployment insurance, provided laid-off Americans a lifeline and propped up consumer spending and the economy. Zandi says most of the decline in labor force participation can be traced to retiring Baby Boomers.

Most economists say Obama’s actions during and after the 2008-09 financial crisis and recession revived a teetering economy that was losing 800,000 jobs a month when he was sworn in and left nearly 9 million unemployed.

Obama spearheaded the $831 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the economic stimulus, a sprawling package that included infrastructure spending, tax credits, state and local aid and extended unemployment benefits.

The program added nearly 3 million jobs at its peak in 2010 and cut the unemployment rate by 1.5 percentage points, according to a study in 2015 by Zandi and Princeton economist Alan Blinder.

“The key to turning around the job market was the Recovery Act,” says Zandi, who also credits Federal Reserve bond purchases that lowered long-term interest rates. “We were looking into the abyss.”

“I really don’t buy the numbers,” says Aparna Mathur, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. In light of the stimulus’ size, “we really didn’t see a big recovery in the labor market,” which she says took nearly eight years to return to pre-recession levels.

Obama carried through the Troubled Asset Relief Program, also known as the bank bailout. It resuscitated the largest banks whose capital was depleted by the housing crash, spurring lending

and economic activity and adding 3 million or so jobs, Zandi and Blinder estimate.

Although Bush signed TARP into law, Obama used the funds to significantly expand the rescue of the auto industry — a highly controversial move at the time — saving hundreds of thousands of jobs.

The White House pushed jobtraining programs that better coordinated efforts among industry, community colleges and state and local officials; supplied grants and other funds for apprenticeships; and established a national public-private network to promote innovation in manufacturing, among other programs.

After losing more than 2 million jobs in the recession — which accelerated a decades-long trend — manufacturers have added 822,000 jobs since early 2010.

“I think (Obama) did a very good job in laying a foundation for manufacturing in America,” says Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

He says the administration could have acted earlier in taking a tough stance toward China’s currency manipulation and in challenging its dumping of products in the USA at below-market prices.

Republicans branded Obama a job killer for imposing too many regulations and failing to cut corporate taxes.

Often cited: the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, which prompted some employers to convert full-time employees to part-time or keep full-time staff below 50 to avoid the health coverage mandate.

Similarly, Mathur says, the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul restrained banks, particularly small players removed from the meltdown, curtailing growth.

Zandi says that there’s little ev-

idence the health care law hurt payrolls and that it created thousands of jobs by expanding coverage to millions of Americans.

Dodd-Frank, he argues, generated legal and other jobs to comply with new requirements.

INVESTING ASK MATT

Top lesson in 17 years? Get started

Price: $56.66 Day’s high: $57.60 Low: $56.39

Q: How can I make money on stocks?

The bank agreed to pay a $25 million fine after being hit with “spoofing charges.” U.S. derivatives regulators accuse one of the bank’s units of entering U.S. Treasury futures market orders with the intent of canceling.

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Today is the final Ask Matt column. I’m joining a moneymanagement firm as a writer.

It seemed the right time for me to impart the top lesson I’ve learned from answering your questions for 17 years.

Here goes: If you want to make money on stocks, stop obsessing about minutiae. Get started. Invest, diversify and hold on. If you don’t know how, hire help.

It’s easy to fixate on details like choosing which stock to buy, which investment accounts to

Citigroup

open and fees. But investors get so bogged down with details they often make the big mistake — they sit out the market.

Consider this. Let’s say 25 years ago, you invested $10,000 in a disappointing investment that trails the market by 2 percentage points a year. Let’s make it even uglier and say this investment charges a 1.5% annual fee, which is twice the average of mutual funds. Even this horrible investment would have gained 274% over the 25-year period to $38,934.

Had you sat out the market and bought six-month CDs instead, your $10,000 would have increased just 81% to $18,057.

Don’t make it hard. Just buy a diversified stock and bond fund.

If you don’t know how, get help.

Just get started.

Hyundai plans $3.1B investment in U.S. plants, research Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

It’s not just Detroit automakers that are feeling pressure from President-elect Donald Trump to boost their automotive operations in the U.S. Now Hyundai Motor Group says it’s going to beef up its U.S. factories and operations, spending $3.1 billion by 2021. The South Korean automaker made the announcement in South Ko-

rea, where it is based, in a move that may have been intended to head off any additional broadsides from Trump, who has already chastised General Motors,

Ford Motor and Toyota, among others, about plans to expand factories abroad, especially Mexico, and import vehicles to the U.S. Hyundai Motor Group, which includes the Hyundai and Kia brands in the U.S., will spend its billions on research and development, its president, Chung Jin Haeng, told reporters in Seoul.

The investment will also augment its Hyundai and Kia factories in Alabama and Georgia.

If demand rises, the group will consider building a new plant in the U.S., he says. The Hyundai brand sold 775,005 new vehicles

in the U.S. last year, up 1.7%, compared to an overall rise in U.S. sales of 3.1%, Autodata reports.

Kia fared better, selling 647,598 new cars and SUVs, up 3.5%.

The added investment would mark a 50% gain compared to the $2.1 billion Hyundai Group sunk into U.S. operations over the past four years, Haeng said.

Trump has singled out the auto industry when it comes to adding jobs to the U.S. in a series of Twitter messages, including threats of a 35% tariff on imported vehicles.

Ford Motor, which received its share of grief from Trump tweets

during the campaign, said this month it is canceling plans to build a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico. Also this month, Trump went after Toyota, which is building a $1 billion plant to make Corolla sedans near Guanajuato in central Mexico. In a tweet, Trump said “NO WAY!” to the plans for south of the border. “Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax.”

Toyota responded by saying “it has been part of the cultural fabric in the U.S. for 60 years” and builds many vehicles in America.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Funk 2. Uptown Bruno Mars Yourself 3. Lose Eminem

If you’ve been anywhere on social media in the past month, you’ve undoubtedly seen the name “Jackie Evancho.”

The 16-year-old classical singer (and America’s Got Talent alum) was hit by a tidal wave of attention when it was announced that she will perform the national anthem at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration Friday. Though many were supportive of the soft-spoken teen — contributing to a minor sales spike during the holidays — others criticized her decision to sing for the outspoken presidentelect, especially considering that her sister, 18-year-old Juliet Evancho, is transgender.

Evancho, who will release a still-untitled new album this spring, caught up with USA TODAY to discuss the inauguration and the response she has gotten on social media.

You performed for Donald Trump once before (at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2011). What do you remember about him?

He was actually very polite, grateful that I was

How do you cope with the hateful messages you’ve received on social media? Are you able to block them out?

Yeah, for the most part.

There’s nothing else you can do. My family and I just kind of ignore it as if it wasn’t there.

Was there one particular note that ever really got to you or made you take a step back from social media?

No, there are a million different opinions out there.

People are always going to state it, whether it’s hateful or not. And that’s no reason to back out of anything or shut down anything, unless you really need a break from it all. But I don’t really need a break from it, because I don’t pay much attention to it.

Your sister has similarly gotten backlash as she has advocated against trans discrimination. Has this experience brought you closer?

It has, and we’ve always been very close, but just to kind of put up with stuff like that brings our family closer.

Is there another milestone you’d like to check off after this?

Well, actually, because I’ve performed for (President Obama) and I will be performing for our next, I’m thinking it might be fun to try to perform for as many presidents as possible.

That’d be fun.

KU vice chancellor top pick for WKU job

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

University of Kansas vice chancellor for public affairs Tim Caboni has been named the preferred candidate to become the next president of Western Kentucky University.

The Western Kentucky Board of Regents made the announcement Monday.

Caboni is scheduled to visit the university for a series of meetings and campus forums next week, on Caboni Jan. 25 and Jan. 26, according to the announcement. The Board will consider extending a formal offer to Caboni at its quarterly meeting on Jan. 27.

Board chair Frederick A. Higdon noted Caboni’s academic credentials and external relations experience, saying that if he is ultimately selected, his “talent, innovation and

energy” would position Western Kentucky to embark on its next chapter.

“He possesses all the attributes the Board was seeking in our next president, including the ability to lead the University’s next capital campaign and guide the creation of a new strategic plan,” Higdon said in a statement.

“He has been a member of the faculty and served in academic administration, where he led efforts to increase the number of graduate and professional students in the Peabody College of Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt University. His experience in legislative relations and as a communications professional has resulted in significant enhancements for the University of Kansas.”

Caboni would begin July 1 and succeed Gary A. Ransdell, who is retiring

this summer after 20 years as Western Kentucky’s president, according to the Board’s announcement.

Western Kentucky has more than 20,000 students, with the main campus located in Bowling Green, according to the school’s website.

Caboni has been KU’s vice chancellor of public affairs since 2011. He also is an associate professor of educational leadership and policy in KU’s School of Education.

Originally from New Orleans, Caboni received his doctoral degree in higher education leadership and policy from Vanderbilt University, a master’s degree in corporate and organizational communication from Western Kentucky University, and his bachelor’s degree in speech communication and rhetoric from Louisiana State University, according to his KU profile. Prior to arriving at KU, he was associate dean of the Peabody College of

Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt.

This is at least the third university president job for which Caboni has been a publicly announced finalist in the past year. The other schools were Georgia Southern University and Valdosta State University.

Caboni did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

However, he tweeted on Wednesday that he was “humbled and honored” to be named the preferred candidate to lead Western Kentucky.

In another tweet, Caboni said he and his wife, Kacy Schmidt Caboni, who works for KU Endowment, looked forward to continuing Western Kentucky’s tremendous growth and leading it “to even greater national prominence.”

Report: City lacks space for job growth

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

A new market report from the Lawrence office of real estate agency Colliers International indicates that the past year was a healthy one for retail, office and industrial activity in Lawrence, but that a lack of industrial inventory is hurting the city’s prospects for growth.

The report, presented

by Colliers on Thursday at the Lawrence Arts Center, indicated that there is little to no industrial inventory in Lawrence. There are only 14 vacant industrial spaces, and the year-end industrial vacancy rate for 2016 was 2.3 percent, which the report said presented challenges for new prospects and existing businesses looking to expand.

Three panelists discussed the report at the presentation: Tim Cowden, president and CEO of the Kansas City Area Development Coun-

cil; Kevin O’Malley, principal and equity agreement manager for O’Malley Beverage; and Daniel Smith, principal and co-owner of Big Industrial LLC. Cowden said some manufacturing jobs are returning to the U.S. from out of the country, but that there is competition in the region to attract those employers. He said though Lawrence does have VenturePark — a currently vacant business park in eastern Lawrence — the lack of already built space could make the city less competitive.

“We have to have available product to bring these clients into town,” Cowden said. “We had one in just two weeks ago looking out at the VenturePark for property, but we’ve got to have product on the shelf, that’s one common theory.”

But that was not to say the city was without its strengths. The completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway and the

“livability” of the city — its schools, universities, parks, neighborhoods and proximity to Kansas City — were both touted as attractive features and a boon to the city’s economy.

“I think one of the real strong suits that Lawrence has to offer is the livability aspect,” Smith said. “As we deal with large employers, they have to bring in talented people and management — and you talk about a problem to overcome in some of these more remote areas where you don’t have the amenities of Lawrence.”

Still, having more than just “raw land” for sale was key, Smith said.

“It’s prime to attract some major, major employers if it can get the platform set up,” Smith said.

O’Malley said economic development went hand in hand with keeping up the area’s amenities and addressing needs

such a new police facility and jail expansion.

“Here in Lawrence and Douglas County, we have a pretty high appetite for nice things,” O’Malley said. “... We need to grow the economy, grow jobs and help us fund those wants and needs.”

Still, the overall outlook was said to be positive. The report indicated retail activity and office market were both active last year. The retail vacancy rate was 5.2 percent, an increase of about a percent over the 2015 rate. The office vacancy rate was 7.5 percent, a decrease of about a percent from the 2015 rate.

“2016 was a healthy year, with strong activity in all sectors and we expect that to continue in 2017,” Marilyn Bittenbender, senior vice president of Colliers International of Lawrence, told attendees.

three-bedroom, twostory town homes with a garage. The town homes would be built in a fourplex style.

The project would be built on property just north and east of East 27th Terrace and O’Connell Road.

If this project sounds familiar, it may be because we reported on it around this time last year. Wheatland last year applied for the income tax credits but didn’t receive them. The process is a pretty competitive one, so it is not unusual that a project has to apply multiple times before it is successful.

Wheatland also is the group that is building the townhome-like units on the west side of O’Connell Drive, just a bit south of 23rd Street.

That project is called Bethel Estates of Lawrence. It will feature oneand two-bedroom units for qualifying seniors 55 and older. Construction work is well underway on that project. I’ve put a call in to Wheatland officials for an update, but I would think some of those units will be ready for occupancy this spring.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

KU football lands in-state commitment

By Benton Smith

basmith@ljworld.com

tkeegan@ljworld.com

Bragg too quick to brag?

A

lthough he doesn’t grade on a particularly difficult curve, at least Kansas sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. isn’t in denial about his own performance 18 games into the season.

“I would say I’m below average,” Bragg said. “I could be even more effective than what I am now.”

Aside from a 15-point, 11-rebound effort vs. overmatched Siena, and a 10-point, six-rebound night vs. vertically challenged Iowa State, Bragg hasn’t had all that many games in which he has been able to both produce offensively and stay out of foul trouble.

So being “even more effective” is not asking more of him than he’s capable of giving.

He vows better days are ahead.

“I know a lot of people have been waiting, but you’ll see,” he said.

He explained what makes him so sure he’s on the brink of a breakthrough.

“I’m having good practices consistently and I’m trying to carry that over to the game,” Bragg said. “Once I get going, no stopping me.”

Hmmm.

Well, Kansas coach Bill Self did predict his big game against Iowa State and did say he has shown serious improvement of late, so that can only be taken as good news.

Now that Udoka Azubuike is lost for the season, Bragg qualifies as the team’s biggest X factor, the player with the most unfulfilled potential.

But just how good is the McDonald’s All-American from Cleveland? He jumps well and looks even taller than his listed 6-foot-10.

He runs the floor well for a man his size and has a soft shooting touch. But he doesn’t move particularly well laterally on defense, is a bit of a flincher in crowds and has slippery hands.

Someone wondered if his hands have improved in the past week and Bragg responded, “Oh, for sure. I think you guys can see that as well.”

Hmmm.

Maybe he is on the verge of a breakthrough. It does happen with players who need time to adjust to playing in heavy traffic. For example, Texas freshman Jarrett Allen, a 6-11 forward recruited

by Kansas, averaged 9.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in his first nine games, and didn’t seem to have an appetite for mixing it up.

In nine games since, he’s averaging 14.6 points and 9.2 rebounds.

If Bragg can bring KU as much as Allen gives UT in Saturday’s 1 p.m. tipoff in Allen Fieldhouse, how does Kansas lose?

Bragg agreed with an observation that he still seems hurried at times, adding, “I get out of control as well.”

Saturday would be a nice time for Bragg to take control and get going. Remember, he assures us that once he gets going, there will be no stopping him.

Kaufman

Another in-state prep football player is headed to the University of Kansas.

Pratt senior Hunter Kaufman announced via Twitter his decision to attend KU and join the Jayhawks’ football program.

“Can’t wait to get to work,” Kauffman, a 5-foot11 high school running back and safety tweeted out with his declaration.

Kaufman, who helped Pratt win the Class 4A DII state championship this past fall, joins Sunflower State prep commitments Joey Gilbertson (Wichita North-

west), Cooper Root (Wichita Collegiate), Kenyon Tabor (Derby) and Jay Dineen (Lawrence Free State) in the Class of 2017.

In his final season at Pratt (12-1), Kaufman averaged 9.7 yards per carry and scored 21 rushing touchdowns, made 30 catches for 472 yards and six scores and ac-

counted for 1,396 yards of total offense. As a defensive back, he made 50 total tackles and three interceptions.

Expected to be a walkon with the Jayhawks, Kaufman’s commitment tweet included the following note: “I am blessed and

LHS lands first swim meet victory of season

M

oments before the final event Thursday, the 400yard freestyle relay, Lawrence High coach Kent McDonald got the attention of junior Alex Heckman and had a simple message for him.

“Hey, 10 points,” McDonald said.

The Lawrence High boys swimming team responded by overtaking McPherson and placing first at the eight-team Lawrence Invitational on Senior Night. It’s the first time the Li-

ons have won a meet this season.

“We had some really good swims,” McDonald said. “A lot of people swam best times and guys come through when we needed them to.”

When the Lions needed them most, the relay team of Heckman, senior Patrick Oblon, senior Jakob Busch, and junior Stephen Johnson took first place in what McDonald called the “best performance” of the day. Their time of 3:29.67 was their best of the season by three seconds.

That put the Lions in position to win, and a fifth- and eighth- place finish by two other LHS teams in the

same relay sealed the victory.

“When everybody pulls everything together and everyone goes fast, it’s always fun,” Johnson said. “As a team that doesn’t win all the time, having at least one victory is awesome.”

Johnson led the way for the Lions with victories in both the 200 and 500-meter freestyle. His win in the 200 was routine, but things were much more difficult in the 500-meter race.

Shawnee Heights sophomore Josh Florence finished with a time of

Overland Park — Through the early part of the season, the Free State boys basketball team has struggled to effectively close teams out.

Once again the Firebirds were put to the test in Thursday’s opening round matchup against Washburn Rural.

FSHS answered the bell, edging the Junior Blues, 63-58, in the first round of the Saints Classic at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School.

“The one thing about us is that every game we seem to make it interesting,” Free State coach Sam Stroh said.

“We have to figure out ways to not only hold the lead but

extend a lead and put a team away. Overall, it was good to get a first round win and move forward.”

The Firebirds (6-2, No. 9 in 6A) have now won four consecutive games after staving off a Washburn Rural (6-3, No. 10 in 6A) comeback attempt. FSHS will have a second round matchup with Blue Valley (6-2, No. 5 in 6A) at 6:15 p.m.

Stroh watched as his team let a seven-point advantage slip away in the early minutes of the final quarter.

With 5:01 left to play, senior Zachary Ebert nailed a 3-pointer from the left wing to pull within two. However, in attempt to get a hand

Topeka — Walking off of the court Thursday, Lawrence High senior guard Jackson Mallory slammed his hand on one of the chairs on his team’s bench.

Mallory, one of the most vocal and emotional leaders for the LHS boys basketball team, wasn’t afraid to show his frustration after a 69-66 loss to Wichita Southeast in the first round of the Topeka Invitational Tournament at Topeka High.

Senior center Kobe Buffalomeat said it was a game that “slipped away.” For the first time since 2012, the Lions won’t be playing in the championship game.

Most of the damage was done in the first quarter.

4 QBs left have both talents, flaws

COMMENTARY

Son reflects on BP’s HallAMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE of Fame NASCAR career

By Howard Fendrich

AP Pro Football Writer

By Keith Parsons For The Associated Press

Charlotte, N.C. (ap) — Benny Parsons made it to the NASCAR Hall of Fame because of his victories on the track and his work as a broadcaster after he retired. He is there also because of one other factor — the kindness of his competitors.

Don’t misunderstand, he wasn’t voted in simply because people liked my father. During his 19-year driving career, the man most everyone called “BP” won 21 races, including the 1975 Daytona 500, and the 1973 NASCAR championship.

In fact, he was the only Hall of Fame-eligible driver who had accomplished those two feats who had yet to Benny Parsons be selected.

He’ll be inducted tonight, along with Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, Mark Martin and Raymond Parks, and he’s included in that group on merit. Yet the way he treated others in the sport over the years ended up helping him as much as it did them.

His championship is a great example. The 1973 season ended with a race at Rockingham, about 10 miles from where BP’s underfunded team was based.

All he needed to do to clinch the title was to finish the race, thanks to the convoluted points system used at the time.

His crew had everything it needed to fix nearly anything that could go wrong during a race. As fate would have it, no one could have anticipated one item that would be needed: a replacement roll cage.

On the 13th lap, my dad hit a car which had spun in Turn 2, ripping the entire right side away from his car. The damage included the steel bars used to reinforce the driver’s cockpit, which were peeled away from the chassis and laying on the track.

Among QBs with at least 250 passing attempts, Brady ranked No. 1, Roethlisberger No. 3 in fewest sacks, while Ryan was No. 3, Brady No. 5 in completion percentage.

These guys are not perfect, though.

They make mistakes. And chances are, one or more will do so again this weekend.

“Joe Montana would say, ‘I don’t have to make every throw; I have to deliver the mail. I have to make the right decisions. Just try to get the mail to the right person at the right time and not beat myself trying to do more than I should,’” Lott said. “Which one of these quarterbacks is going to put themselves in a situation where in their weakest EAST moment — because all ofALthem have moments when they’re going to be weak — do you try to do something more than you AL CENTRAL need to do?”

What stands out about these QBs:

TDs, no INTs. Negatives: Can be troubled by blitzes: 78.6 passer rating this season, 24th in the league.

Brady, in contrast, led the NFL at 126.8, according to Sportradar; Ryan No. 2 at 122.5.

Rodriguez initially avoided a direct response when asked about speculation he had used steroids.

Asked during a follow-up whether he would address what happened and whether

he did or didn’t, he responded: “No, I didn’t.”

Pushed whether that meant he didn’t use or he wouldn’t respond, Rodriguez said: “I always played the game the right way.”

Some Jayhawks returning Though nothing official has yet been announced, a pair of former KU football defensive players soon are expected to join the staff as graduate assistants.

Kansas teammates from 2013 to 2014, former safety Cassius Sendish and ex-linebacker Victor Simmons, who finished their careers playing for Charlie Weis and interim head coach Clint Bowen, will help out on Beaty’s staff.

We weren’t always in sync, but they were fighting and they were wanting it. Just a game where Wichita Southeast was the better team.”

Barnes, a 6-4 wing who leads the City League in scoring, proved why he’s so tough to guard. He rewards good defense by just making tougher buckets. He made his first five shots, only missing in the first quarter on an attempted buzzer beater.

“There’s no words to describe it,” Mallory said of guarding Barnes. “He’s

an incredible player. He’s gotten a lot better in the last year. He completely expanded his game.”

The only thing that nearly stopped Barnes was foul trouble. He picked up his fourth foul — after back-to-back offensive fouls — with two minutes left in the second quarter.

Mallory said he looked over to the bench at his team’s coaches and muttered, “We’ve got this.”

That sparked the Lions, who weren’t clicking offensively. They shot 1-of-15 from behind the

3-point arc. They missed nine free throws.

But they went on a few runs by driving to the rim for layups, drilling mid-range jumpers and scoring on floaters. Sophomore Clarence King scored 15 points while Mallory added 14 points and eight assists.

Each time the Lions looked on the verge of taking the lead, Barnes was there using the scoreboard like Batman uses a Bat Signal. Even with four fouls, he was just as dominant. He scored 13 of his

to qualify. Moody had done some work for Musgrover, as he had for my dad’s L.G. DeWitt Racing Team, so he told everyone to use the parts from the idle car.

Pit crew members from other teams pitched in, joining a large group of mechanics around the battered car. And 136 laps later, it rolled back on the track to complete enough laps to secure the title.

Something such as this would be unheard of now. Rival teams providing manpower to help someone else win the

championship? Not a chance. But they did it for Benny Parsons, largely because they knew he would have done it for them.

The generosity of others also helped my dad to his greatest victory: the Daytona 500. He wasn’t quite fast enough that day in 1975 to keep up with David Pearson, and as the race wound toward conclusion, he found himself about 5 seconds behind in second place.

But Richard Petty, laps behind after some troubles earlier in the race, jumped in front of BP and waved to him to

join up in a draft. Soon enough, they began to track down Pearson, and with three laps remaining, the margin was only 2 seconds.

Perhaps it was the pressure Pearson felt from behind, or perhaps it was just racing circumstances.

Whatever the reason, Pearson bumped into the lapped car of Cale Yarborough and spun on the backstretch, effectively ending his race.

My dad — still running in Petty’s wake— motored past, and since there were no overtime rules at the time, he went on to win.

Petty certainly didn’t have to do that, and part of his motivation might have been to keep Pearson, his top rival at the time, from winning.

Regardless, it was another life-altering moment for BP, and it came about partly with the help of others.

I’ve thought about that a lot in the past few months, since my dad’s selection for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. For years, I thought maybe he had been too nice when he was a driver, that perhaps he could have had more success if

he had been a little more selfish.

Yes, maybe he would have won a race or two more. But at what cost?

He had the respect of everyone in the garage, people who readily jumped in to help him when he needed it most.

My dad, who died 10 years ago after complications from lung cancer, would say that was worth more than a couple more trophies and checkered flags, worth even more than an earlier induction to the Hall of Fame.

He would say it means everything.

HOOPS NOTEBOOK

KU’s strength of schedule a work in progress

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Depending on where you look, strength of schedule can be a difficult statistic to trust, with the various rankings including everything from detailed data points to the eye test and most recent performances.

According to the average strength of schedule numbers from Ken Pomeroy (16), CBS Sports (20) and ESPN (26), the Kansas men’s basketball team, ranked No. 2 in the nation by The Associated Press and No. 1 in the USA Today coaches poll, registers a number between 20 and 21. This reveals that the Jayhawks have had the fifth toughest schedule to date among Top 10 teams.

There is something to be said for consistency, though, and outside of No. 6 Baylor, which has an average strength of schedule of 17, only one other Top 10 team has less of a gap between the three numbers than the Jayhawks.

The difference between KU’s best strength of schedule number (16) and its worst (26) is just 10 spots. Baylor’s gap is the smallest (16 to 17) and topranked Villanova’s is eight (11 to 19).

Beyond that, things get interesting and significantly more spread out, with third-ranked UCLA having a gap of 44 spots between its best (96) and worst (140) and fourth-ranked Gonzaga registering an even wider gap, from 56 on kenpom.com to 126 on ESPN.com.

BRIEFLY Veritas boys routed by BV Southwest Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team was shut out in the third quarter against Blue Valley Southwest in an eventual 52-29 loss Thursday in the Spring Hill Tournament.

The Eagles (3-7), who will play in the seventhplace game at 3 p.m. today, were led by Tucker Flory (eight points, 10 rebounds).

Southwest 17 10 10 15 — 52 Veritas 11 10 0 8 — 29 BVSW — Nick Parker 11, Will Eldridge 6, Jack Johnson 12, Billy Bartlett 10, Ryan Davis 1, Dylan Pandjaris 2, Daniel Foulon 3, Nathan Gish 7.

Veritas — Tucker Flory 8, Trey Huslig 7, Weston Flory 5, Kammal Dowdell 4, Jackson Rau 3, Michael Rask 2.

4:56.62, but Johnson was able to hold him off with a time of 4:56.47. Johnson has trained with and raced against Florence, so he knew the race would be close.

“I knew he was going to have an all-out sprint and I was ready for it,” Johnson said. “When we race in that race I usually end up pulling out the final sprint.”

However, even after Johnson’s wins — as well

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

in the shooter’s face, Free State senior Jay Dineen blew threw a screen and was called for the foul.

Since the Firebirds were already in the bonus, the foul sent senior Sam Wingert to the freethrow line, where he knocked down both attempts, to even the score at 47-47. It was the first time the score had been tied since the 5:40 mark in the first period.

“Once they started putting pressure on us, it got to us at first,” senior Jacob Pavlyak said. “But then once we got used to it we did fine and were able to keep our lead.”

Rather than crumble

‘‘

I think our team is respected nationally. But I don’t think we’re thought of as highly as other teams. I think some people rank us high because our record’s good. Whereas, if you look at us, we haven’t done anything to really knock anyone’s socks off since the Duke game because we haven’t had a chance because of the schedule.”

— Kansas coach Bill Self

Even fifth-ranked Kentucky (7 to 32) and ninth-ranked North Carolina (11 to 24) have wider margins between their best and worst strength of schedule numbers than Kansas, even though both have a better average than the Jayhawks.

So what does it all mean? According to Kansas coach Bill Self, it’s merely one of many signs that the season remains a work in progress.

Although Kansas is used to living in the Top 10 in strength of schedule year after year, these Jayhawks (17-1 overall, 6-0 Big 12) have not made it there quite yet. Outside of back-to-back, season-opening games against then-No. 7 Indiana (now unranked) and thenNo. 1 Duke (now 18th), KU’s schedule has not carried its usual pop.

“I think our team is respected nationally,” Self said Thursday. “But I don’t think we’re thought of as highly as other teams. I think some people rank us high because our record’s good. Whereas, if you look at us, we haven’t done anything to really knock anyone’s socks off since the Duke

game because we haven’t had a chance because of the schedule.”

That’s about to change. After facing just one team currently ranked in the Top 25 in the season’s first 19 games — KU hosts Texas at 1 p.m. Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse in Game No. 19 — the Jayhawks will rip off a nine-game stretch that features five games against the current Top 7 — two against West Virginia, two against Baylor and one at Kentucky.

Self said it was that reality that likely kept Kansas out of the No. 1 spot this week and allowed Villanova to jump from third to first. But neither Self nor his players had any issue whatsoever with the way things have shaped up in the national polls.

“We’ve played good teams, but we haven’t had a chance to play a Top 5 team again or Top 10 team again,” Self said.

“Whereas Villanova goes and plays at Butler, and Villanova blows out Xavier, those types of things. So I’m not disappointed at all where we are. I can certainly understand it.

But I do think that we’ll have

an opportunity here in the next two to three weeks to show whether or not we deserve to be there.”

Sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. agreed and said the team was looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.

“I believe we’re still trying to find out who we are and these big challenges that are coming up, we’ve just gotta prepare for it and we will see,” Bragg said.

Asked if the Jayhawks had reached their full potential yet, Bragg answered immediately.

“I don’t think so. Not at all.

Not at all,” he said. “Not defensively, and I think we can play a lot faster than we’re playing now.”

Mason OK Senior point guard Frank Mason III, who tweaked his right knee Monday night during the Jayhawks 76-72 victory in Ames, Iowa, is doing fine and is not expected to miss any time, including practice.

That message was right in line with Self’s thoughts following Monday’s victory.

“Just like what we said,” Self said Thursday. “He practiced (Wednesday), and he may be a little sore or stiff or whatnot, but structurally, he’s OK.” Azubuike progressing Freshman big man Udoka Azubuike, who broke his wrist in late December and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, recently had his stitches from surgery removed

and is wearing a regular cast.

That’s good news, according to Self, who said that was the first step in Azubuike’s long road to a full recovery.

“He’s able to do cardio and stuff now,” Self said. “And he needs to. So he’s back on the mend as far as working out and things, but he’s still gonna have the cast on for another two months, I believe.”

Vick a pro?

After a strong summer and good start to his sophomore season, Lagerald Vick has leveled off a bit and settled into a role as one of KU’s primary bench players.

Asked Thursday to assess where Vick was in his development, Self paid the Memphis native a strong compliment.

“Oh, I think he could be a pro,” Self said. “I think Lagerald Vick could play in the NBA. I think he’s got the length, he’s got the ball handling, he’s got the body, he’s a natural athlete, all of these things. I think that he was a little bit further along than what we anticipated early in the season, and I think now he’s probably where we anticipated him being at this point in time. So I think he’s right where we had hoped he would be. But after seeing how well he played early in the season, I think that there’s something in there that he will get that back. He’s on an uptick now, and I think he’ll get that back, playing at that very high level.”

FSHS girls beat out Highland Park, 58-50, in road win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Topeka — Back on the court for the first time in nine days, Free State High’s girls basketball team had its good moments and not-so-good moments against Highland Park on Thursday.

The not-so-good: The Firebirds committed seven turnovers in an eightpossession stretch at the end of the third quarter, helping the Scots fight back from a double-digit deficit.

The good: Once Highland Park tied the score with six minutes remaining, the Firebirds responded with some of their best defense of the

night in an eventual 58-50 road victory.

“I’ve got to remember that a win is a win and we go on to tomorrow,” Free State coach Ted Juneau said.

After the Scots tied the score, 44-all, Free State senior Madison Piper and freshman point guard Caely Kesten grabbed steals on back-to-back possessions with their fullcourt pressure.

Piper made two free throws and Kesten scored four straight points, including a put-back on a miss from sophomore Sam Lawrence for a sixpoint advantage.

The Scots (1-8) wouldn’t pull any closer

and the Firebirds continued on to a 14-4 run.

“I told them when we were up four, six in the last two or three minutes, ‘This is going to be great practice for us,’” Juneau said. “For us to build a lead and hold the ball, from that standpoint it was OK. From my perspective, it never should’ve been that close in the first place, but you have to give Highland Park credit. They worked hard.”

The Firebirds (5-3) weren’t at their most crisp offensively, but they received a strong boost from their bench in the first half. Senior Jaycie Bishop and junior

Erin Cushing scored six points each while freshman Haley Hippe added two points and a steal.

Then when it came to crunch time, the Firebirds stepped up with key baskets and smart decisions with the ball. Piper, signed to play at Santa Clara, led with 13 points, 15 rebounds and three steals.

Kesten, who had 13 points with two assists, said the Firebirds “weren’t really connected” at the start.

“She grows every game,” Juneau said of Kesten. “There are times when you shake your head. But you know, you’ve got to let her be her.”

Kesten added: “Win or lose, we can always learn from opportunities.”

Free State will travel to Lansing at 7 p.m. today.

as Heckman’s wins in both the 50-meter freestyle and the 100-meter freestyle — McDonald still wasn’t sure his team had enough in the tank to come back.

“I didn’t think we would do it,” McDonald said. “But they only had one relay and we had three and scored two, so it was our numbers over their quality, really.”

Lawrence will travel to Topeka at 4 p.m. Tuesday, its final meet before the start of the Sunflower League.

“We’re going to keep working hard until we get Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo those meets and hope it all pays off,” McDonald said. LAWRENCE HIGH’S STEPHEN JOHNSON COMPETES in the 200-yard freestyle event during Thursday’s Lawrence Invitational. under the pressure, Free State responded with an 8-2 run over the next few minutes to reclaim control.

Time and time again, junior Garrett Luinstra got a bucket when his team needed it the most.

He scored 9 of his teamhigh 19 points in the final period, including a driving baseline layup following the five-point play by Washburn Rural.

Luinstra is now averaging just shy of 19 points per contest in four games this calendar year, and has cemented himself as the go-to option on the offensive end for the Firebirds.

“He has been scoring really well the last four or five games,” Stroh said. “He’s only a junior.

Heck, if you add up the games, he’s probably only

played seven or eight varsity games in his career.

Whereas some of the guys he’s playing have played 20, 40 or even 50.”

But it was other reinforcements that helped FSHS get out to an early lead.

At the start of the game, Free State and Washburn Rural traded buckets. But following an 8-8 tie at the 5:40 mark in the first period, the Firebirds orchestrated a 10-0 run to cease the advantage. Three of those buckets came via senior Cameron Clark, who notched 10 points.

Clark was one of four double-digit scorers for his team. Senior Shannon Cordes finished with 12 points on five shots, while Dineen added 13 points, including seven in the opening quarter.

Meanwhile, sophomore

Jordan White netted 19 points in a losing effort for the Junior Blues.

“I think it was one of our better games of the season,” Pavlyak said.

“We talk about playing a full game well and I think that’s probably as close as we have gotten to playing a full 32 minutes well.”
