Court: Kan. Constitution protects abortion rights

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — The Kansas Court of Appeals refused Friday to implement the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on a common secondtrimester abortion method, ruling in a split but groundbreaking decision that the

conservative state’s constitution protects abortion rights independently from the U.S. Constitution.

The 7-7 ruling — released on the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision — could be used by abortion rights supporters to challenge other state laws restricting

abortion. If the decision is upheld, it would allow state courts to protect a woman’s right to end her pregnancy beyond federal court rulings.

Tie votes uphold the ruling being appealed, meaning Friday’s ruling sides with a Shawnee County judge who put the 2015 law on hold while he considers a

lawsuit challenging the ban.

The lawsuit has yet to go to trial, but the judge said the Kansas Constitution’s general language about personal liberties extends to abortion rights — which the appeals court also supported, indicating how it may rule if it Please see ABORTION, page 2A

“

The rights of Kansas women in 2016 are not limited to those specifically intended by the men who drafted our state’s constitution in 1859.”

WHILE THE DISPUTE CONTINUES OVER WHETHER THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP BEHIND THE OREAD HOTEL used Oread Wholesale LC to manipulate a special taxing district to inflate sales tax rebates from the city, two other companies listed by the state as tenants of the hotel have been found to be absent from a list of tenants given to the city in October.

New questions about hotel tenants emerge

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The final deadline for Oread Inn LC to comply with the city’s demands in a $500,000 tax dispute passed Monday with more contention, and city officials are remaining silent about their next move.

And while the dispute continues, a potential discrepancy has been found in the information the development group has provided to the city.

Two companies listed by the state as having registered offices at The

Oread hotel — Warren LC and Oread Construction LC — are absent from a list of tenants given to the city in October from an attorney representing Oread Inn. Thomas Fritzel, the Lawrence businessman at the heart of the tax dispute with City Hall, is listed as an executive with both firms.

Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said she was not aware of Warren LC or Oread Construction LC. Stoddard said the list is sent annually and meant to show tenants of the hotel that have leases with Oread Inn. A business might not be listed, she

said, if there’s a resident of the hotel who also operates a business there.

If there are businesses not on the list, the city surmises those businesses are not tenants, she said.

“I presume it could be possible that someone may have a professional business name and live there; there could be those circumstances,” Stoddard said. “The major concern is for us to capture the tenants.”

A call to one of Oread Inn’s attorneys Friday was unreturned as of press time.

doesn’t specifically protect abortion rights.

“I can’t understate how horrific this is, and how problematic some litigation might be, under a ruling that the state has a right to abortion,” Ostrowski said Friday.

The law at the center of the case prohibits doctors from using forceps or similar instruments on a live fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Such instruments are commonly used in dilation and evacuation procedures, which the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights has said is the safest and most common abortion procedure in the U.S. in the second trimester.

Kansas law calls the banned method “dismemberment abortion,” echoing a description coined by anti-abortion groups, though neither attorneys nor judges used the phrasing during arguments before the court last year.

A similar Oklahoma law also was blocked by a state-court judge. Lawmakers in Nebraska have considered similar measures.

The lawsuit was filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of father-daughter Drs. Herbert Hodes and Traci Nauser, who perform abortions at their health center in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. Their lawsuit cites only rights granted in the Kansas Constitution, meaning the case will be handled in the state court system.

At issue is vague language in the Kansas Constitution’s Bill of Rights that states that residents have “natural rights,” and that “free governments” were created for their residents’ “equal protection and benefit.”

Shawnee County Judge Larry Hendricks cited that language when blocking the law last year, ruling that the Kansas Constitution protects abortion rights at least as much as the U.S. Constitution. He also said the ban imposes an unconstitutional burden on women seeking abortions.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback — who was in Washington accepting an award from an antiabortion group Friday — called on the state Supreme Court to quickly reverse the ruling.

“The court’s failure to protect the basic human rights and dignity of the unborn is counter to Kansans’ sense of justice,” Brownback said. “Seven judges have chosen to create law based upon their own preferences rather than apply the law justly and fairly.”

All four of Brownback’s appointees to the appellate court voted to overturn Hendricks’ decision, along with three judges appointed by Democratic governors, including Chief Judge Thomas Malone. The judges siding with Hendricks included six appointed by Democratic governors and one by a moderate Republican governor.

and will be at the northwest corner of Ninth and Delaware streets.

That’s catty-corner from Krsnich’s recently completed 9Del Lofts apartment building.

The row house project won’t feature a large multistory building like the lofts project, but rather will include about a dozen single or twostory living units that also could be made into work-live units.

That means artists might be able to live on-site and also have a studio in the building. Or, there might be the possibility for some small retail storefronts as well, depending on what type of zoning approvals the project can win from the city.

Krsnich said the 43 apartment units in the 9Del Lofts building were fully rented within 30 days of the building’s opening in mid-2015. He said the project, which is primarily rent-controlled housing, has a waiting list of 60 to 70 people.

There’s another large project in the pipeline for the district. As we reported in December, plans have been filed to convert the old SeedCo building at 826 Pennsylvania St. into a brewery restaurant and apartment building.

Longtime liquor executive Matt Williams is planning to open the Lawrence Beer Company, which will include a restaurant, on the ground floor of the old industrial building.

Plans also call for 14 one- and two-bedroom apartments to be built on top of the old building. The proposed design envisions adding two stories onto the old 1900sera building. Krsnich is not involved in that property, other than his group is the seller of the building, but he said he’s excited about what that

project will add to the district, if approved.

On a smaller scale, Krsnich said he is still working to open a bistro at Eighth and Pennsylvania streets in the small stone building that is next to the Poehler Lofts. Krsnich said he is in negotiations with an operator for the business, but can’t yet reveal the name of the party who would run the bistro.

Krsnich said he still envisions an establishment that would serve both food and drink, with an emphasis on attracting neighborhood residents and the growing workforce with offices in the district.

He said he hopes to have a deal in place that would allow renovation work on the building to begin in April, which would make a fall opening possible.

One last project Krsnich is involved in is the old Turnhalle building, the 1869 stone structure at Ninth and Rhode Island streets. Krsnich in 2014 bought the historic property from the Lawrence Preservation Alliance with hopes of finding a user for what is one of the older buildings in the city.

Thus far, the building remains vacant, but Krsnich said his company has applied for a couple of preservation grants that he hopes to get word on soon. He also continues to market the property to users, but said he doesn’t have a deal to announce. But he does have an idea of what he thinks is likely for the property.

“I would be very surprised if the Turnhalle didn’t have some sort of restaurant component to it,” Krsnich said.

3rd man arrested in robbery

By Conrad Swanson

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday struck down a voterapproved ordinance in Wichita that reduced penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana.

The case has been closely watched by activists in other Kansas communities who are considering similar voter-led initiatives if state lawmakers continue to block reform of marijuana laws. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt had asked the Supreme Court to strike down the ordinance in the state’s largest city, saying it conflicts with state law.

Another Topeka man is accused of taking part in a late December robbery outside a Lawrence apartment party.

Early Friday morning, Anthony Laverne Marshall, 23, was arrested by Lawrence police in Topeka.

Marshall was booked into the Douglas County jail and held in lieu of $50,000 bond. He faces two felony counts of aggravated robbery.

Dec. 23, police responded to a report of a robbery at an apartment in the 3100 block of Ousdahl Road, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

The two victims — one man from Lawrence and another from Leavenworth — left a party in the apartment early that morning, McKinley said.

They were followed outside by around six other men who approached them in the parking lot and demanded their cellphones, wallets and other belongings.

At least two of the suspects had firearms, McKinley said. The victims suffered minor injuries in the robbery but declined medical attention at the scene.

In its decision Friday, the state Supreme Court said the ordinance wasn’t enacted according to state law.

Timing questioned as key leaders near retirement

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Alumni and fans of Kansas and Kansas State universities face similar frustrating situations relative to two individuals who play significant roles on their campuses, as well as in the state of Kansas.

KSU alumni and fans don’t know how long football coach Bill Snyder intends to remain as coach, and KU alumni and fans are puzzled about how long Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little intends to remain as chancellor.

Both Snyder and Gray-Little are over 70: Snyder is 76, and Gray-Little is 70. Age is not the issue, but, in a way, it is.

Snyder has compiled one of the nation’s best records as a college football coach. He arrived at Kansas State in the 1980s and, within a few years, transformed the school’s

football program from one of the worst in the nation to one of the best.

He worked magic on the football field.

Now, however, there is concern the university is losing star football recruits because players do not know how long Snyder will remain as coach.

His tenure, in their eyes, is a year-to-year situation based on his age and health, and they prefer to commit to a school where they are more likely to have the same coach for their four or five years as players.

Because of his record and national acclaim, Snyder is almost untouchable at KSU, but news reports indicate the football recruiting effort is struggling compared with past years. A winning football program is a critical ingredient for K-State’s state and national image, and how long will alumni, administrators and fans allow Snyder to

operate on a year-to-year basis that hurts the football program?

The KU situation is different in some ways but, again, focused on the question of how long an extremely important individual will remain in her position and how this issue affects the institution.

COMMENTARY Chancellor Gray-Little arrived at KU in 2009 and will be wrapping up her seventh year as KU’s leader with May commencement ceremonies.

In her case, the questions and frustrations among faculty, alumni and state legislators are related to how long she intends to remain as chancellor.

It isn’t a case of losing football recruits, but rather the difficulty of recruiting and

retaining prized faculty and building relations with state legislators.

In the eyes of faculty, legislators and alumni, does Gray-Little provide the leadership and vision they believe a flagship institution deserves? Those considering attractive offers from other schools or industry would like to know who will be KU’s chancellor next year or the year after. How long does Gray-Little intend to remain in the chancellor’s office? She works at the pleasure of the Kansas Board of Regents, and history has shown the regents are hesitant to call for changes. Does this send the signal she will remain as long as she wishes?

Chancellors play a pivotal role in the growth and advancement of a university. Their leadership, vision and skills in communicating the needs, excellence and role of a university cannot be overstated. Some

excel, some get by with an average performance, and others end up being a detriment to their schools.

KU has been fortunate over the years, and Gray-Little has done a good job. Nevertheless, there are growing numbers who ask, “How long is she going to stay?”

Chancellors, like politicians, can be surrounded by sycophants who offer praise at every move and can be blamed for all manner of failures in or out of their control. It’s a tough job.

Just as KSU fans would like a definite answer as to how long Snyder intends to stay as their football coach, many KU alumni and friends, as well as state lawmakers, are asking how long Gray-Little intends to remain as chancellor.

It’s time for Snyder and Gray-Little to give some answers.

Supreme Court had put the ordinance on hold while it considered the case.

Schmidt’s office said in an emailed statement the court decision’s “narrow scope” doesn’t address whether state law would have invalidated a properly enacted ordinance.

Schmidt said he wants lawmakers to review the matter and decide if the Legislature needs to make “crystal clear” its intent to have “these law enforcement standards, policies and procedures uniform

throughout the state.”

“Whatever one’s views on the merits of current state policy related to marijuana, I think most Kansans agree it makes little sense for the basic rules for enforcing the criminal law to differ from city to city,” Schmidt said.

One of the activists who led the initiative, Esau Freeman, said Friday that the court ruled against the measure on a technicality, “and I think that really allowed them not to rule on the meat of the case.”

Freeman said he would like the City Council to take the issue up again “since we did get 54 percent of the vote.” He also said the ordinance was publicly displayed on the group’s website and was available “to God and anybody who wanted to get on a computer at the public library.”

The ordinance would have imposed a fine of no more than $50 for someone 21 or older convicted for the first time of possessing 32 grams or less of marijuana — enough for several

dozen joints — or related drug paraphernalia. State law punishes the same crimes with up to a year in jail and a fine of $2,500.

Wichita’s City Council had said it respected the attorney general’s opinion, but that it put the measure on the ballot because it also respects the rights of its residents to seek a public vote. It noted that backers gathered the needed 3,000 signatures.

Kansas law has no provision for statewide ballot initiatives and the

Legislature has repeatedly rejected efforts in the past to liberalize marijuana laws in the state, leaving supporters with few options to reform them. The issue has surfaced again in this legislative session.

The Kansas Senate’s Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee heard this week from supporters and opponents of a proposed bill that would soften criminal penalties for marijuana possession, allow for hemp oil to treat seizures and promote industrial hemp research.

“He has his finger on the pulse of a number of topics that are driving concepts in education today and for the foreseeable future,” Twombly said. “He’s a perfect complement to many of our strengths and will be able to develop crucial partnerships not only on campus, but around the globe.”

Zhao is especially well known for his research in five key areas, according to KU: creativity and entrepreneurship education; globalization and education; China and Chineselanguage learning; technology in education and schooling; and education reforms around the world.

At Oregon, Zhao joined the College of Education in 2010 and served as its

associate dean from 2010 to 2013. He also is director of the college’s Institute for Online Education, according to KU. Previously, he was a University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University, where he also directed Michigan State’s Confucius Institute.

As are KU’s other Foundation Distinguished Professors, Zhao is a prolific

researcher with many professional honors. According to KU, he has published more than 100 articles and 20 books, including his most recent book, “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon: Why China has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World.”

Zhao earned a bachelor’s degree in English language education from Sichuan

International Studies University and a master’s in education and a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

KU’s Foundation Distinguished Professors initiative aims to recruit 12 “eminent” scholars who will support the university’s strategic initiative themes. Zhao is the 11th of 12 professors to be hired.

that would allow the city to audit any sales tax records of Oread Inn, its tenants or anyone doing business with The Oread hotel without advance notice.

The city has so far stood by its demands.

Stoddard said Thursday that, though the city has been transparent about the dispute up to this point, she wouldn’t comment on its next step.

“We really have been making it a priority to be as transparent and up front with everyone as we can, but I hope everyone realizes that it’s also sensitive,” Stoddard said.

When asked when the public would know of what the city’s actions would be, Stoddard said it “depends on what things may unfold.”

“We certainly don’t want to jeopardize our ability to appropriately handle this,” Stoddard said.

A ‘sensitive’ issue Attorneys for both Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale have said the city lacks authority under the redevelopment agreement to make the demands it has.

The group did comply with one in a list of city demands: repaying nearly $500,000 in “improperly” received sales tax rebates, plus interest. But, in a letter accompanying the check, the group said it was sending it “under protest.”

It hasn’t complied with other demands, including that it hand over financial documents Oread Wholesale used to complete its sales tax returns.

Oread Inn has also protested a demand to agree to an addition to the redevelopment agreement

Questions about tenants Among the concerns raised in a city-ordered audit was that Oread Wholesale was listed as having an address at the hotel, even though there appeared to be no signs that the construction wholesale company actually operated there. Thomas Fritzel Now, state records indicate there are two other companies — one a construction firm and the other a mechanical contractor — that don’t appear to have a presence at the hotel, either.

The Kansas Business Center, managed by the Secretary of State’s Office, lists Warren LC and Oread Construction LC as having registered offices at 1200 Oread Ave. Neither Oread Construction LC nor Warren LC is present on a list of the hotel’s current tenants that was sent to the city from an attorney representing Oread Inn.

entity acquiring property or occupancy rights” in the special tax district.

When asked whether the city was confident it was getting all of the sales tax returns, Stoddard said, “as far as we are aware.”

A back-and-forth between Oread Inn and the city started in December, when a city-hired auditor concluded the group used Oread Wholesale in order to “improperly” receive approximately $430,000 in reimbursements from the city.

The auditor’s final report accused Oread Inn of violating Kansas law, but the Kansas Department of Revenue told city officials that it was a city issue.

In response, an attorney for Oread Inn called the audit “one-sided,” “inflammatory” and “inaccurate,” and contended the city violated Kansas law by using money from a tax increment financing fund to pay for the city’s audit of Oread Wholesale.

The attorney, Roger Walter, said in a letter sent Monday that Oread Inn was working on a more in-depth response to the audit. He estimated it would be done by the end of the month.

The city has spent months gathering information about The Oread hotel project after allegations came to light that a firm led by Fritzel, Oread Wholesale LC, was used to inflate sales tax totals at 1200 Oread Ave., the site of The Oread hotel.

The hotel is part of a special taxing district where a large percentage of local sales tax dollars collected at the property are rebated back to the hotel development group, which is led by Fritzel.

the special taxing district, Stoddard said.

The 2015 list comprises The Olivia Collection LLC, the umbrella organization over The Oread and The Eldridge; Kangaroo LC, the ownership group of The Cave; Oread Wholesale; New Cingular Wireless; Verizon Wireless; University of Kansas Memorial Corporation, which owns KU Bookstore; and Citizens National Bank.

Fritzel is listed by the state as the registered agent of Oread Construction LC. Fritzel also signed annual reports as a manager of Warren LC, and his wife, Dru Fritzel, is listed as the only member who owns 5 percent or more of that company’s capital.

According to the state, the registered agent for Warren LC, previously named Earnie’s LC, is Earnest Oshel.

Oshel is listed on city documents as the primary contact for Earnie’s Mechanical, which was hired by Gene Fritzel Construction Co. as the mechanical subcontractor for Rock Chalk Park.

In an application for payment for the Rock Chalk Park project, Earnie’s Mechanical’s listed address was a home at 1100 Delaware St. A storefront bearing the company’s name is located off Vermont Street across from the Lawrence Public Library.

When called Friday at the number on the storefront’s sign, Oshel declined to comment about whether he was the registered agent of Warren LC and whether the company had an office at The Oread. He repeated “no comment” when asked why Warren LC was not present on a document sent to the city listing the hotel’s tenants.

The redevelopment agreement with Oread Inn requires the development group to provide monthly sales tax returns from “assignees, purchasers, tenants, subtenants or any other

The Willow Domestic Violence Center and other community organizations are hosting two community panels in the coming weeks to offer Lawrence residents information on human trafficking.

In the past fiscal year the center provided its services to 42 survivors of human trafficking, five of whom were underage, said Human Trafficking

Program Coordinator Elizabeth Moffitt.

The community panels aim to teach people about details of human trafficking and how it can happen in northeast Kansas, Moffitt said.

“Most people aren’t kidnapped into human trafficking,” she said.

“It’s similar to domestic violence or sex violence.

Vulnerabilities are often taken advantage of and the victims are sold for sexual services, into prostitution or for labor services.”

K-TAG shop now open in Lawrence

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Kansas Turnpike Authority opened a new center in Lawrence this week where drivers can purchase electronic KTAGs. The retail center is located off Interstate 70 at the toll plaza on McDonald Drive. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place there at 4:30 p.m.

Thursday.

Drivers can pick up free sticker K-TAGs at the center, get replacements, learn more about the K-TAG electronic toll collection program and make payments and changes to their accounts. The center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

According to the KTA website, K-TAGs are also available at Lawrence AAA locations and The Merc. They can also be ordered online at myktag.com.

The announcement of the new retail center came the same week that the state announced that those who pay cash on the Kansas Turnpike will see increased costs beginning in May. The Kansas Turnpike Authority announced Wednesday that cash tolls will increase by 10 percent but that those using electronic toll collection will get discounts on their monthly statements of 10 to 20 percent.

The Associated Press reported that revenue from the tolls will help pay for more than 40 projects on the turnpike in the next decade.

The projects include spending $14 million annually on pavement, up to $20 million to improve service areas and $25 million on an interchange in Wichita.

City issuing free garden plots The city is giving access to free growing plots starting this year in exchange for growers using them for a community benefit.

Growers accepted for the program, titled Common Ground, will get a three-year license to use the sites, which are 0.3- to 1.5-acres in size. Those interested are asked to apply online at lawrenceks.org/commonground by 5 p.m. Feb. 15.

The plots are vacant or under-utilized city properties located at the following locations: John Taylor Park, PermaCommons, Penn St. Community Garden, Pearl Clark Community Garden, The

Lawrence Community Orchard, Incubator Farm and Willow Domestic Violence Center garden.

The goal of the program is to increase local food production and Lawrence residents’ access to healthy food.

City-given examples of using the plots for a community benefit are to donate produce to local food pantries or participate in educational outreach programs.

The Douglas County Food Policy Council and city staff will review the applications and make recommendations for recipients to the City Commission by late February.

Chelsea Handler not amusing What’s more boring than Chelsea Handler? Complaining about Chelsea Handler. Netflix streams the four-part documentary series “Chelsea Does,” launching today. “Chelsea Does” follows the former E! personality and “Chelsea Lately” talk show host as she discusses marriage, racism, Silicon Valley and drugs with friends and strangers in cozy dinner party settings and random confrontations.

It’s difficult to criticize someone for self-absorption when her very reputation rests on rude narcissism.

In her “Marriage” chapter, she careens from listening to friends share too much about their relationship to an impromptu encounter with children at a day care center. Apparently, there are people out there who find Handler amusing, even when she discusses the pickup/dating app Tinder with 5-year-olds. I am not among them.

An R&B star endures health issues and divorce while coping with her son’s autism in the 2015 drama “Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart” (7 p.m., Lifetime), based on the singer’s memoirs.

Wondering why you’re sitting at home watching TV on a Saturday night? The Oprah Winfrey Network has an answer, if not a culprit. The new relationship advice series “It’s Not You, It’s Men” (8 p.m., TV-14) stars actor and singer Tyrese Gibson and hip-hop legend and reality star Rev Run. Gibson is a single dad, while Run has been married for 20 years and has six children.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) It seems as if nearly everyone has a complaint about not having enough time with you.

Tonight: Continue your juggling act.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Use the first part of the day to return calls and make plans.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Pay your bills and do what you must in the morning.

By the afternoon, you could be footloose and fancy free. Tonight: What would you really like to do?

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your mood seems to go up and down like a yo-yo. A relationship might need a tranquilizer by the end of the day. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be out of sorts in the morning. Tonight: Just because someone says he or she is your friend doesn’t make it so.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Race out the door and get your errands done. Let someone else entertain you. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The time has come to deal with a friend, relative or boss.

You do not see eye to eye with this person. Tonight: Party.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t you think you have experienced enough pressure over the past few days? Excuse yourself from making plans. Tonight: Out on the town.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One-on-one relating highlights the morning. Enjoy.

Tonight: Up to you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) What stands out about today is that you don’t need to make the first move. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be dragging in the morning, but might be full of energy by mid-afternoon. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) The tendrils of romance could sweep through your morning. Tonight: You might need to get some extra R and R.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Anonymous,” who is undergoing chemotherapy and thinks people who want to visit are expecting too much of her to put on makeup, clean her house and shop for refreshments.

Recently, both my husband and I were diagnosed with different forms of cancer.

Family and friends visited, brought meals, phoned, emailed, texted and more. Typically, I would do all of the things Anonymous listed to welcome guests into our home, but it was too much. I determined that I preferred to welcome family and friends rather than push them away.

So I might be in nightclothes with no makeup, with my bald head exposed in all its glory.

I offered bottled water

Markets overreacting to China swings Davos, Switzerland — For the past 15 years, the mere mention of the word “China” has brought smiles to the faces of the global business executives who gather here annually for the World Economic Forum.

This year, with Chinese stock and currency markets in turmoil, it brings a chill.

China, so long described as an economic miracle, has become a contagion, setting off negative shocks in markets around the world. A correction in perceptions of China was overdue, but financial markets this month have probably been overreacting on the downside, just as they did on the way up.

China’s fundamentals aren’t really any different from a month ago.

“The issue is not whether markets bounce up and down — of course they do, for China and everyone else — but whether Chinese officials are willing to let the numbers bounce,” explains one top financial official attending the conference.

This official argues that if Chinese leaders are wise, they will stick to the free-market reform agenda — and let the markets do the work of pruning excess industrial capacity and overborrowing among state-owned enterprises.

Every time the Chinese seem to be intervening to prop up their currency or ignore bad loans, investors get the jitters.

They’ve gone from irrational exuberance about China to a suspicion that Beijing is cooking the books.

A surprise this year has been

financial panic of 2008. U.S. banks have more capital, less leverage and less risk than they did before our bubble economy burst — thanks in part to reforms enacted by Congress.

China will probably have to go through a similar, wrenching process of deleveraging, but the end result will be beneficial.

One boost for healthier capital markets in China is the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) that Beijing and Washington are negotiating. Talks have continued this month even amid the economic turmoil — a sign that China’s leaders are serious about fully joining the global financial system, bumps and all. “The whole structure of the BIT is about moving government out of the management of the economy, and we’re making progress,” says Michael Froman, the top U.S. trade negotiator, in an interview here.

If China were a consumer brand, it might be comparable to Chipotle restaurants, which overnight went from having a reputation for healthy, wholesome food to coping with customer complaints about getting sick. Rebuilding the brand takes time — but most of all, it takes transparency that can re-establish trust.

“You can’t paper over the issues,” warns David Sable, the global CEO of the advertising firm Young & Rubicam. For the past 25 years, his company has conducted an annual survey that measures the brand reputations of countries, as well as consumer products.

“

A surprise this year has been how much the perception of a slowdown in China has rocked U.S. financial markets.

Only about 25 percent of the U.S. economy is tied to trade, which makes America much less vulnerable than most other countries to a softening in China’s demand for imports.”

how much the perception of a slowdown in China has rocked U.S. financial markets. Only about 25 percent of the U.S. economy is tied to trade, which makes America much less vulnerable than most other countries to a softening in China’s demand for imports. The fundamentals of the U.S. economy seem relatively strong, too, but that hasn’t prevented psychological contagion from infecting Wall Street.

Given the worries about the debt bubble in China, it’s reassuring that U.S. and most European banks have cleaned up their balance sheets after the

— David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 23, 1916: “An ice jam which is causing some concern among the men in charge years of the new bridge construction ago over the Kaw river began forming IN 1916 about a mile above the dam Saturday. Apparently most of the ice that had covered the river between Topeka and that point is now piled in a jam extending a half mile up the river from the initial point. … It was feared that the water would pile up back of the jam and eventually force it down the river, causing a rise that might be damaging to the property of the bridge company scattered about on the flat west of the present fill. ... After a careful examination of the ice gorge the bridge workmen decided there was nothing they could do about it, and work went on as usual today in the yards north of the river.”

power and influence, says Sable, and it’s rated by millennials as the best country in the world to start a career. But it ranks below average among the 60 countries surveyed in terms of its business and political transparency, legal system, corruption and government bureaucracy. Those negatives hurt, now that the China bubble has burst.

Economists are sometimes slow to recognize what advertisers know instinctively, which is that perceptions matter. The great insight of John Maynard Keynes was that while financial markets are shaped by the fundamentals of real economic activity, they are ultimately driven by psychology. When investors feel buoyant, they ignore negative signals. When they get scared, they overlook the positive.

This was a week when the usual Davos upbeat assessments of the global economy were tempered by fears — about China, the Islamic State and the future of Europe. “We are living in a world that in many ways is falling apart,” said Klaus Schwab, the impresario of the World Economic Forum and normally an implacable optimist. But in the next breath, he hailed a “ray of hope” in the movement toward an accord in the intractable, and obscure, negotiations between Greek and Turkish Cyprus.

Hope springs eternal in the mind of Davos Man. But so, too, does fear.

Nuclear alert To the editor: According to an article in the Nov. 11 New York Times, the Obama administration has approved a $1 trillion program over three decades to modernize the U.S. nuclear weapons system. The Pentagon and Department of Energy have started testing the B61 Model 12 nuclear warhead which can zero in on buried targets and is the first of five new warhead types planned. Plus, its explosive yield can be ratcheted up or down to minimize “collateral damage” and radioactive fallout. The lowest setting for the variable-yield, precision-guided bomb is only 2 percent as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. The problem is the precision-targeting and yield-control make the use of nuclear weapons more thinkable.

The plans also include a nucleartipped cruise missile which can fly under enemy radar and hit targets thousands of miles away thereby giving a president a “limited nuclear war” option. However, cruise missiles also have conventional warheads, so an adversary

may assume an incoming cruise missile is nuclear-tipped and then overreact.

Undoubtedly, this plan will trigger a new arms race with Russia, which will further increase the risk of an accidental nuclear war. Further, the plans include new bombers such as the B-3 Bomber, submarines, landbased missiles and upgrades to eight nuclear factories and labs. So, it is clear the Military Industrial Complex is going to reap an enormous bonanza and that military contractors have pushed for approval of this plan. But what happens if an unstable president is elected and the system is still on its launch-on-warning, hair-trigger alert?

Detroit Free Press LANSING , MICH .

A March 2015 consultant’s report recommended spending $50,000 to add corrosion control chemicals to Flint’s drinking water because iron was leaching from the pipes and turning the water brown — a significant and relatively early red flag that city officials and regulators missed, experts said Thursday.

The report, commissioned by the city from the environmental consulting firm Veolia, made no mention of lead leaching into the water and did not cite health concerns. Its recommendation to add phosphates to soften the water would have cost a fraction of today’s mounting costs to address the crisis, but it went unheeded by the city’s state-appointed emergency manager.

“If you’ve got iron sloughing off (the pipes), you’ve got other metals sloughing off, including lead,” said Joan Rose, a chair of water research in Michigan State University’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife.

The Veolia report, addressed to former Flint emergency manager Gerald Ambrose, resurfaced Wednesday when Gov. Rick Snyder released emails related to Flint that he sent and received in 2014 and 2015. An electronic version of the report was forwarded to the governor by his then-chief of staff, Dennis Muchmore, on Oct. 13, after state officials acknowledged a health problem.

Ambrose could not be reached Thursday.

Snyder and his administration are under criticism over the lead poisoning of a still-undetermined number of Flint children while the city was under control of emergency managers the goverv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

On cost of meds, a missing voice Patient groups funded by drug companies are mostly mum in the debate over prices Jayne O’Donnell @JayneODonnell USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Drug companies provide so much of the funding for major patient groups that many critics say they’ve stifled a key voice in the policy debate over soaring drug prices, especially over those for cancer.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, for example, gets $50 million a year from drugmakers, which comes to about 16% of their funding. The National Patient Advocate Foundation receives 60% of its $2 million budget from the pharmaceutical industry, and the Colon Cancer Alliance gets 15% of its $1.2 million budget. Several other groups get up to 20% of their revenue from drug companies.

“It is worrisome because it is a

conflict of interest even if you can’t prove it changes their position,” says Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist and professor who chairs the University of Pennsylvania’s department of medical ethics and health policy. “The patient voice carries a disproportionate amount of weight.”

One reason for the apparent lack of interest in drug costs is that patient groups are focused on developing drugs to cure their respective diseases. They care far less about costs because the patients want and need the drugs, often to survive. So they join with drugmakers in pushing to have them developed without as much concern over the costs.

The Affordable Care Act, which Emanuel helped write as a White House health policy adviser, capped total annual out-ofpocket costs at $6,850 for an individual and $13,700 for a family.

While even that is more than many people could afford, experts say the true cost may come when employers and insurers pass the difference along. “Your insurer is still paying the full cost of the product so it’s going to come back to you and be built into the premiums and cost sharing going forward,” says Leigh Purvis, director of health services research at AARP’s Public Policy Institute.

Nearly all large companies pay their employees’ health claims, and insurers simply administer the plans at the companies’ direction. “I could say that employers are distressed about high drug prices, but that’s putting it too mildly,” says Leah Binder, CEO of the Leapfrog Group, which represents major employers on health care and rates hospitals.

NPAF and other patient groups say they aren’t influenced by the drug money. Alan Balch, NPAF’s CEO, says its agenda is “driven by the patients we serve v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Major snowstorm packs punch on trek toward East Coast Five deaths reported; some areas could get 2 feet or more Doyle Rice and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

A potentially historic snowstorm whipped by gale force winds began hammering the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday, threatening to shut down big eastern cities for days with more than 2 feet of snow, widespread power outages and impassable roadways.

More than 85 million people — roughly one in every four AmeriWASHINGTON

cans — in at least 20 states Friday were under blizzard, winter storm or freezing rain warnings from Arkansas to the Carolinas to New York City and extreme southern New England, according to Weather.com.

Air and road travel is expected to grind to a halt for much of the weekend. Airlines canceled more than 6,000 flights for Friday and Saturday across the USA by midday. Philadelphia International Airport said it would be closed Saturday. All major airlines issued weekend waivers, allowing passengers to rebook onto earlier or later flights to avoid the storm.

As the heavy storm pounded

the Washington area in early evening, United Airlines announced it was suspending all operations at Dulles International and Reagan National airports until Sunday evening, when limited flights would resume.

Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia and parts of other states declared states of emergencies.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called out an additional 200 National Guard troops Friday to supplement the 500 already at work because of the large volume of calls into state agencies. The guard was setting up “readiness

centers” along the Interstate 81 corridor between Lexington and Winchester and along Route 29 from Warrenton to Danville, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.

At least five people died in storm-related crashes in Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina, the Associated Press reported.

In Carter County, Tenn., authorities said a woman died after her car plummeted down a 300-foot embankment, AP reported.

ACADEMY TAKES ‘HISTORIC’ STEPS TO INCREASE DIVERSITY All-white acting slate of nominees this year put heat on Oscars Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

In a unanimous vote Thursday night, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences approved a dramatic series of changes to alter its membership to increase diversity.

Friday, the board which oversees the Oscars listed what it called “historic” goals to counter an explosion of criticism over minority representation. The board committed to doubling the number of women and diverse academy members by 2020.

“The academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up,” academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a statement.

“These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.”

A 2012 report by the Los Angeles Times showed that Oscar voters were made up of 94% Caucasian and 77% male members.

The diversity issue has dominated discussion after an allwhite slate emerged in the acting categories for the second year in a row at the Academy Award nominations.

The ignominiously dubbed #AllWhiteOscars has led to outcry as well as decisions by director Spike Lee, actress Jada

Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith to boycott the Feb. 28 Oscars hosted by Chris Rock.

Other diversity enhancing steps the academy announced: uChanges for existing members: Beginning later this year, each new academy member’s voting status will last 10 years and will be renewed if that member has been active in movies during that decade.

In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three 10-year terms or if they have won or been nominated for an Academy Award.

“Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status” with all the privileges of membership “except voting,” according to the academy release. uBringing in new members: The academy will supplement the “traditional process in which members sponsor new members” by launching an “ambitious, global campaign to identify and recruit qualified new members who represent greater diversity,” the release said. uAddressing diversity on the board of governors: The academy will establish three new governor seats that will be nominated by the president for threeyear terms. This will increase diversity on the board “where key decisions about membership and governance are made,” the release said.

In response, Selma director Ava DuVernay tweeted, “Just received from @TheAcademy. One good step in a long, complicated journey for people of color + women artists.”

Snyder apparently got corrosion report later v CONTINUED FROM 1B

nor appointed. In April 2014, in what was to be a temporary costcutting move while it awaited construction of a new pipeline, the city switched its drinking water source from Lake Huron water treated by the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department to Flint River water treated at the Flint water treatment plant.

State Department of Environmental Quality officials have acknowledged a drastic mistake in failing to require Flint to add needed corrosion-control chemicals to the water. After first scoffing at reports of a spike in blood-lead levels in Flint children, the state acknowledged a problem in early October and helped Flint reconnect to the Detroit system.

But officials say a danger persists because of damage to the water distribution system by the corrosive Flint River water and that residents still shouldn’t drink the tap water without using a lead filter.

Snyder declared a state of emergency Jan. 5 and mobilized the Michigan National Guard to help with water and filter distribution on Jan. 12. President Oba-

ma has declared a federal state of emergency in Flint and announced $80 million in financial aid for water infrastructure projects in Michigan — and some of that money is likely to be used to help Flint.

A statement released Thursday

by Veolia North America said Flint had asked the company to focus on taste, color and odor issues, as well as disinfection byproducts that had exceeded federal standards. “Flint had previously tested lead and copper levels and a review of that data was not part of our scope of work,” the statement said.

Veolia spokesman Paul Whitmore said the report “focused on key aspects of water quality and included recommendations to change chemicals and dosing to minimize the risk of potentially high levels of lead associated with corrosion in the distribution system.” But he conceded the report made no mention of lead.

The report, which made more than 20 recommendations, was presented at public meetings with Flint’s technical advisory committee, which included public health officials, and was posted on the city website when it was made

public, the Veolia statement said.

Though the report was not emailed directly to Snyder until October, the governor had earlier been sent information about the corrosive nature of Flint drinking water, though again it did not come attached to any direct health warning.

A briefing paper on Flint water sent to Snyder on Feb. 1 referenced the fact the Flint River water was “harder” than the Lake Huron water Flint formerly received from the Detroit water system.

“It’s why General Motors suspended use of Flint water,” the briefing paper from the Department of Environmental Quality said. “It was rusting their parts.”

GM’s decision in October 2014 to switch off of Flint water in favor of Flint Township water, which came from Detroit, is now seen as another missed opportunity to investigate what was wrong.

Marc Edwards, the Virginia Tech researcher and drinking water expert who helped expose the crisis, described the March report as a significant red flag, though “not as bad (a red flag) as the red water pouring out of taps.”

Critics say drugmakers have stifled patient voice v CONTINUED FROM 1B

first and foremost and approved by an independent board.”

“Drug pricing is one of many costs our patients struggle with, and it is not the primary thing patients ask our case managers for help with,” Balch said.

NPAF’s 2015 data on calls from about 14,000 cancer patients shows transportation was the top concern, followed by hospital and doctor co-pays, rent and mortgages and then prescription copays.

Drugs “are one of the many costs” faced by cancer patients and their families, said the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in a statement. Along with helping patients who can’t afford their insurance costs, the group is beginning research comparing drug costs to their value and is urging drugmakers to share quality of life and outcomes data to support their pricing, spokeswoman Andrea Greif says.

Others who represent patients say funding as well as the groups’ advocacy raises questions.

The San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Action adopted a policy nearly 20 years ago that it wouldn’t accept donations from drug companies or other corporations that could profit off of cancer. “BCAction’s work as the watchdog for the breast cancer movement is credible and effective because of the organization’s commitment to preventing real or perceived conflict of interest from our corporate donors and organizational leadership,” a statement on the group’s website says.

But such groups are the exception when it comes to drug pricing. Purvis says she hasn’t heard “too many patient advocacy group complaining about prices,” yet many are facing huge debt and bankruptcy. Holly Woodcock, an Idaho nurse who won an essay

contest last year for her story about her colorectal cancer treatments, says that if her cancer returns she told her husband she doesn’t want to treat it because “I refuse to leave him bankrupt.”

If patient groups discuss costs publicly at all, they typically focus on co-payments insurance companies charge and the higherpriced tiers they put specialty drugs on in their plans, she says.

Drugmakers have a natural alliance with patient groups, which helps explain their alliance, says Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America trade group.

“Patient groups and biopharmaceutical companies share the same goal of improving patient access to innovative therapies and ensuring the continued development of new treatments and cures,” Zirkelbach said in an emailed statement.

Wednesday, 124 patient groups including NPAF, the AIDs Institute and several others that also get considerable pharmaceutical industry funding, sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and

Medicaid Services urging stricter enforcement of ACA rules prohibiting discrimination against patients with chronic diseases.

The letter noted the coalition supports CMS’ proposal warning insurers about high co-pays and “adverse tiering.”

“Proposing changes to prescription drug coverage without addressing the underlying price ... amounts to giving drug companies a blank check to charge whatever they want,” says Clare Krusing, spokeswoman for the insurer trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans.

“Advocacy associates” of the International Myeloma Foundation gave presentations this fall that were sponsored by four drug companies and the Biotechnology Innovation Organization and warned patients that oncologists are offered financial incentives for following treatment regimens.

These “clinical pathways” are another way insurers try to control high drug costs. Insurers use clinical data to come up with recommended treatments based on what works best, Oncologists aren’t required to adhere to them

Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist and professor, helped write the The Affordable Care Act as a White House health policy adviser.

but get extra money from insurers if they do.

“Anything pharma thinks limits their market or access they’re against,” says Michael Kolodziej, an oncologist who is Aetna’s national medical director for oncology strategy. “If there’s a really exciting new drug, (drugmakers) want us to say ‘let’s just try it,’ but that can’t happen when a drug comes out at $150,000 a year — and there’s no new agent that comes out at less than that.”

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said last month that increased ACA enrollment and high specialty drug prices drove the 5.3% increase in health care costs in 2014. Drug prices overall went up 14% in 2014 and 10% last year. Many drug companies’ profit margins range from 30% to 50%, notes Emanuel, which he said is far higher than insurance companies. He said says one way of dealing with the issue would be to require that patient groups disclose their funding.

When Woodcock, 53, ended her chemotherapy in 2010, “I was well over $35,000 in the red — all from stupid cancer,” she wrote in her essay. “Costs are crippling cancer patients to the point of losing jobs, losing businesses, losing homes, having liens, going bankrupt.”

Pat Mastors, co-founder of the Patient Voice Institute, is trying to get patients more involved in health care policy, including on drug prices, but lacks the resources of those that do take drug money.

“We have to create public pressure to change the incentives ...for drugmakers to set prices that don’t cripple people with debt,” says Mastors, a former TV news anchor who has two family members with cancer. “It’s hard if others are taking a lot of money from pharma to know where the allies are to build momentum.”

MANCHESTER , N. H .

Republican presidential candidates in New Hampshire — especially the underdogs — have a ready source of inspiration heading into next month’s primary.

His name is John McCain.

From town halls at middle schools and American Legion halls to bus rides on snow-plowed highways, candidates are using the tactics that helped McCain win two upset victories in New Hampshire’s “first-in-the-nation” primary.

“McCain is the blueprint,” said Mark McKinnon, a former political adviser to both McCain and President George W. Bush.

McCain’s big win over the better-funded Bush in the 2000 New Hampshire primary — a political rarity, an upset blowout — re-established town halls and bus tours as powerful political tools in the Granite State and demonstrated the importance of appealing to the state’s independent voters who can vote in either party’s primary. McCain did it again in 2008, capping a remarkable comeback months after the implosion of his campaign staff.

McKinnon — an executive producer of The Circus, a Showtime documentary television series on the 2016 campaign — said McCain “proved that the way to win New Hampshire is to run like you’re running for governor: town hall to town hall, hand to hand, person to person.”

This year, Republicans competing in a large field hope McCain-like tactics will help them rally past front-runner Donald Trump. McCain did not invent town halls and bus tourstyle campaigning, but his spirit seems to be animating 2016 candidates as they take occasionally hostile questions at meetings throughout the state.

“If you want somebody who is going to beat Donald Trump, who is going to beat the other Republicans, I think Bernie Sanders is that candidate,” Sanders said Tuesday in Iowa.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican presidential contender, predicted at the most recent GOP debate that Republicans will take “every state” if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination.

“That’s not even an issue,” he said to applause. “I know Bernie, and I can promise you he’s not going to be president of the Unit-

ed States.”

Trump has said a race against Sanders would be “a dream come true.”

Clinton’s campaign has responded to Sanders more aggressively as polls show Sanders surging in Iowa before the caucuses Feb. 1 and beating Clinton in New Hampshire, which will

hold the first-in-the-nation primary Feb. 9.

Tuesday, Clinton Communication Director Jennifer Palmieri said Sanders’ arguments that he’s more electable are undermined by evidence Republicans would rather run against him than against Clinton. Palmieri accused Sanders of taking cues from Republicans and “using a Karl Rove attack to go after” Clinton.

“While Sen. Sanders tries to make a case on electability based on meaningless polls, Republicans and their super PACs have made clear (which) candidate they’re actually afraid to face,” Palmieri said in a statement.

“Both Sanders and the Republicans know that Hillary is the candidate who can take them on and ensure the White House isn’t in Donald Trump or Ted Cruz’s hands.”

Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior media adviser, said Republicans are engaged in misguided “mischief” that shows their “disconnect with what’s going on with voters.”

McCain’s wins offer ‘blueprint’ for GOP underdogs in N.H. Arizona senator’s tactics in 2000, 2008 triumphs are still being used “We’ve taken what we’ve learned from John after he won twice here and applied it to our own campaign.

It’s on steroids because of what you can do with data and social media.”

Derry. A Christie campaign sign — “Telling It Like It Is” — echoes the name of McCain’s bus, the “Straight Talk Express.” During the event, Christie cited McCain’s 18-point win over Bush in 2000.

“How many times have you people in New Hampshire turned the polls upside down?” said Christie, who, like others, trails Trump in statewide polls.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich also relies on town halls and told a crowd at an American Legion hall in Contoocook that he would continue to do them if his campaign survives the New Hampshire primary.

Jeb Bush has cited McCain as inspiration. The former Florida governor spoke of seeing McCain shortly after his 2008 campaign

nearly collapsed, walking by himself in an airport. Within months, McCain had rallied to win New Hampshire again and went on to capture the Republican nomination (though he lost the general election to Barack Obama).

Ted Cruz is not a fan of McCain — who once labeled the Texas senator one of Congress’ “wacko birds” — but he spent this week on a McCain-style bus tour of New Hampshire.

There is one exception in New Hampshire: Trump. The New York billionaire, who has criticized McCain during the campaign, relies on massive, well-attended rallies to get his message out.

IN BRIEF AMERICAN STUDENT HELD IN N. KOREA FOR ‘HOSTILE ACT’

North Korea said Friday it arrested an American student from the University of Virginia for allegedly “perpetrating a hostile act” against the regime.

North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency, in a onesentence dispatch, said that the 21-year-old student, identified as Otto Frederick Warmbier, traveled to the country as a tourist but with the real aim of destroying the unity of North Korea with “the tacit connivance of the U.S. government.”

The State Department said it was aware of the reports. “The welfare of U.S. citizens is one of the Department’s highest priorities,” State Department Deputy spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement. “We have no further information to share due to privacy considerations.”

The Young Pioneer Tour group, a China-based company that arranges travel to North Korea, said it was trying to address the situation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He added that police have the suspect and there is no longer a threat to the community.

MONEYLINE HOUSING RECOVERY: 2015 HAD MOST SALES IN 9 YEARS U.S. home sales rebounded in December after new regulations had delayed the completion of purchases in November. And total sales in 2015 were the most in nine years. The National Association of Realtors said Friday that sales of existing homes climbed 14.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.46 million. Last month’s rebound capped a year that produced the highest annual sales total since 2006. The median sales price rose 6.8% to $222,400.

AMAZON OFFERS FULL REFUNDS ON HOVERBOARDS Amazon is offering full refunds for customers who bought hoverboards, the popular electric self-balancing riding devices implicated in multiple fires and explosions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission so far has investigated 40 such incidents.

The flammability of the lithiumion batteries used to power the devices is a serious concern to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is currently investigating them.

The pay raise comes after JPMorgan announced record annual profits last week, thanks to cost-cutting that helped offset stagnating revenue growth. JPMorgan’s board paid Dimon a $1.5 million salary, a $5 million cash bonus and $20.5 million in performancebased stock grants, the company said in a regulatory filing.

NHTSA cites driver killed in 2006 Ranger Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Federal auto-safety regulators expect to add another 5 million vehicles to the Takata air bag recalls — partly because they have identified another death attributable to defective inflators, officials said Friday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that it believes a South Carolina driver was killed last month when an inflator in a Takata air bag exploded. When that occurs, victims are showered by metal and plastic shrapnel. The fatal air bag deployment occurred in a 2006 Ford Ranger pickup, making it the first death in a vehicle other

than a Honda.

It’s the ninth death attributed to the air bag inflators in the U.S. One death was reported overseas.

As a result, the recall will be expanded again to include about 1 million vehicles that use the type of driver-side air bag inflator found in the Ranger. In addition, another 4 million other cars and trucks could be subject to recall because they use a different type of inflator that ruptured three times in recent tests of the Toyota RAV4, NHTSA says. Brands include Ford, Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

They would be added to recalls already ordered for 23 million ammonium-nitrate inflators in 19 million vehicles in the U.S. NHTSA spokesman Gordon Trowbridge said that before the deadly accident, testing of 1,900 inflators in the Ranger had uncovered no problems. Representatives for Ford and Takata

were not immediately available for comment.

Trowbridge, in a conference call with reporters, stressed that estimates of vehicles involved in the expanded recalls is preliminary. There could be overlap with vehicles that are already under recall for passenger-side air bags.

BOEING CUTS 747 JET PRODUCTION PROGRAM Boeing on Thursday said it would cut the production rate on the company’s 747-8 jet program amid weaker demand in the air cargo market. Starting in September 2016, production on the wide-body planes will drop from one aircraft per month to one every two months, Chicagobased Boeing said in an announcement after financial markets closed. The cutback expands Boeing’s previously announced plan to reduce 747-8 production to 12 planes a year starting in March, down from roughly 16 aircraft.

OIL PRICES GET BUMP UP West Texas Intermediate oil has been on a recent upswing. The price of a barrel since Jan. 4:

$40

Wall Street stocks scored a second day of gains Friday after a steep sell-off earlier in the week as oil prices bounced sharply higher and investors bet on further stimulus measures from global central banks helping to offset some of the financial pain felt early in 2016.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 211 points, or 1.3%, to 16,094, building on Thursday’s 116-point gain. The two days of gains trimmed the Dow’s year-todate loss to 7.6%. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was up 2% and the Nasdaq composite surged 2.7%.

It was the first time this year the benchmark S&P 500 was in the green for the entire trading day, according to Bespoke Investment Group.

Even after the week-ending rebound, all three U.S. stock indexes remain in correction territory, defined as a drop of 10% or more from recent highs. However, it was the first time this year that stocks managed to turn in a weekly gain.

to take unprecedented steps to resolve it,” Trowbridge said.

Takata, a Japanese auto supplier, agreed in November to accept penalties of at least $70 million and up to $200 million for failing to promptly disclose and fix defective air bag inflators.

Trowbridge said Friday that the number of recalled inflators could expand by “tens of millions” if Takata can’t prove that the ammonium-nitrate propellant in the inflators is not responsible for the defect.

Recalls of Takata vehicles have proceeded slowly, in part because replacement inflators haven’t been readily available. Also, many vehicle owners have ignored recall notices. As of late December, some 27% of U.S. vehicle owners with a recalled Takata driver-side air bag had completed the repair.

In hot, humid areas where air bags are most likely to rupture, about 34% had gotten the repair.

Chart watchers on Wall Street acknowledge that the U.S. stock market has suffered a lot of so-called “technical damage” and that there’s been no clear evidence — at least not yet — that a major improvement in the market is developing. back above $32 a barrel. Plunging crude prices, of course, have weighed on stocks this year, as they have raised fears of a coming

global slowdown and worries that bankruptcies and upheaval in the oil sector would exacerbate financial tumult.

The stock rally was jump-started Thursday when the European Central Bank strongly hinted that more stimulus would be forthcoming at its March meeting. That news raised hopes that central bankers around the world would do what they can to offset some of the massive volatility that has engulfed markets so far in 2016.

Many critics, however, blame all the stimulus from the world’s central banks over the past few years for overinflating asset values and setting the market for a comeuppance, which they say we are starting to see now.

“Expectations of further central bank easing have helped restore investor confidence in risky assets,” Barclays’ analyst Henry Skeoch told clients in a note. Skeoch added that reports the Bank of Japan is “mulling further easings” sparked a nearly 6% rally Friday in the benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index in Japan.

Stocks were trading up around the globe to end the week. Stocks in Hong Kong closed nearly 3% higher and shares in mainland China rose 1.3%.

The gains spread to Europe, which again shot higher on hopes of more stimulus from the ECB. The broad Stoxx Europe 600 index was 3.2% higher and shares in Germany were up more than 2%, with gains of 3.5% for the CAC 40 in Paris.

Walmart violated labor relations law and must offer to reinstate 16 employees who were fired after protesting at Walmart’s headquarters in 2013, a judge ruled.

In the National Labor Relations Board case, Administrative Law Judge Geoffrey Carter ruled Thursday that employee strikes that took place in May and June of 2013 were lawful and that Walmart was wrong to discipline employees who were absent from work due to the demonstrations.

Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg said the company disagrees with the ruling and “will pursue all of our options to defend the company because we believe our actions were legal and justified.”

The 2013 protests were organized by OUR Walmart — an employee advocacy group focused on pressuring Walmart to improve pay and working conditions — and involved gathering at several Walmart stores and busing employees to Bentonville, Ark., where Walmart is headquartered, to demonstrate during Walmart’s annual shareholder meeting. The movement was deemed the “Ride for Respect.”

MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EPA

Advocates for higher pay marched outside a Washington Walmart on Black Friday.

Walmart argued that employees who missed work could be disciplined for unexcused absences because the strikes were “intermittent work stoppages” not protected by the National Labor Relations Act. Carter said that’s not the case and that the protest “was not a brief strike” or scheduled close enough together to other strikes that it could be considered intermittent.

The decision is “a huge victory,” said Jess Levin, a spokeswoman for Making Change at Walmart, a labor group organized under the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. UFCW lawyers represented OUR Walmart in the case.

The retailer was ordered to offer jobs back to 16 employees who were fired after the strikes and give them back pay. Walmart must also inform employees about their rights to organize.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

@adamshell USA TODAY

The year started with the Federal Reserve doing what few other central banks on the planet were doing: raising interest rates and draining stimulus from the system. When the Fed hiked rates a quarter point in December and its so-called dot-plot outlook added up to four more quarter-point hikes in 2016, Wall Street still wasn’t buying into four hikes.

Well, following a massive market drop for stocks, oil and high-yield bonds to kick off the new year, Wall Street is now pricing in just one rate hike this year, Bank of America Merrill Lynch says.

The pressure on the Fed ramped up this week when European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said more stimulus was

likely forthcoming at the ECB’s March meeting due to a worsening inflation and growth picture.

Talk of more stimulus came from Japan, too. The news, perceived as a safety net of sorts, sparked a relief rally, jolting markets out of their early-year free-fall.

Such policy divergence has made the Fed’s two-day meeting next week a key event. Will the Fed acknowledge market turbulence and back off its call for four rate hikes? Take a March hike off 5-day avg.: -5.41 the table? Announce a time out?

What companies say about future more important

Q: What’s so big about this earnings season?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Fourth-quarter profit reports are expected to pick up in the next few weeks. Investors have written off the quarter, but it’s the future that is what’s most important.

Just 73 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have reported fourth-quarter results so far. Investors are bracing for what could be the second quarterly decline in profit in a row, according to S&P Capital IQ. Analysts think S&P 500 companies will report quarterly results that are 5.8% lower than in the same period a year ago.

Given expectations for the quarter are so low, investors must hear what company management says about upcoming quarters. Companies aren’t required to give investors such so-called earnings guidance, but about 40% of companies do, according to a report by a team of researchers at S&P Capital IQ, including Li Ma. Stocks jump 3.1% on average in the three days after positive preannouncements and fall 4.2% on average after negatives ones. Positive guidance also tends to give stocks a lift in the following one- to three-month periods.

Analysts are prepared for another decline in profit in the first quarter. But they want to see growth in the second quarter.

GE tops earnings but misses on sales, sending shares lower Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

General Electric topped Wall Street fourth-quarter earnings forecasts but missed on sales as the iconic U.S. conglomerate continued its shift to a digitally powered manufacturing future.

The results sent the company’s shares down 1.22% to a $28.24 close on Friday.

Earnings per share in the October-to-December period were 52 cents per share, above the 49cent consensus estimate of finan-

cial analysts surveyed by S&P Capital IQ but down from the 56 cents GE reported for the same quarter last year.

Sales rose 1% to $33.8 billion, the company said. But the consensus forecast of analysts had projected $35.9 billion, a total already down from the $42 billion in sales GE reported for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Power-unit revenue for the quarter grew 3%, GE reported.

The company in November completed its $9.5 billion acquisition of France-based Alstom’s power business. GE said it has an approximately $400 million Alstom

hydroelectric deal for China’s Three Gorges Dam. However, the falling cost of energy prices affected GE’s oil and gas division, causing a 16% quarterly drop in sales. Oil drilling and service is “very susceptible” to energy market volatility, but constitutes just 15% of the division’s revenue, the company said.

The first weeks of 2016 “have been especially volatile,” GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt said in a statement issued with the earnings announcement.

But he added that fourth-quarter orders grew 1% and said GE’s order backlog grew to $315 billion

with Alstom.

“We believe in the strength of our business model and that there is enough growth out there to deliver in 2016,” Immelt said.

GE reaffirmed earlier forecasts of full-year earnings per share of $1.45 to $1.55 for 2016. In all, the company projected 2% to 4% organic growth for the year. The company said it plans to return an estimated $26 billion to investors in dividends during the year.

The results come amid GE’s move to sell much of its GE Capital financing assets as the company executes a return to its manufacturing roots, coupled

with a high-tech future. GE said it had signed $154 billion of GE Capital dispositions in 2015, with $104 billion of those sales closed, putting the plan ahead of schedule.

Jim Corridore, an equity analyst at S&P Capital IQ, predicted in a research note Friday the financial unit divestiture and other factors in 2016 would help GE shed its designation as a Systemically Important Financial Institution, which requires the company to maintain more capital.

Such a change should result in an improved price-earnings ratio, he said.

Martial arts star makes his ‘Star Wars’ debut in December Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

L

ike much of Asia, Robert Downey Jr. and Mike Tyson love watching Hong Kong action movie star Donnie Yen. “I love them, too,” Yen says with a laugh. But he also knows that, even though he has appeared in a few big American movies — Blade II (2002) and Shanghai Knights (2003) among them — most of us don’t know the 52-year-old actor.

“Some of the films we do in this part of the world are not maximized to their potential” in the USA, he says. “Hopefully, things will change more.”

Maybe even this year: Yen stars as Silent Wolf, one of four martial arts heroes keeping a mystical weapon out of the hands of a villain, in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, a sequel to the 2000 fantasy hit that premieres Feb. 26 on Netflix. And the Chinese-born actor goes galactic with Felicity Jones as part

Donnie Yen takes on the bad guys in Ip Man 3. of a crew out to steal plans for the Death Star in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in theaters Dec. 16.

Before those, audiences can get acquainted with Yen in his new action film, Ip Man 3 (in theaters Friday). The latest in the Hong Kong franchise pits Wing Chun kung fu grandmaster Master Ip against a greedy property developer played by Tyson. (For those who want to have an Ip fest, 2008’s Ip Man and 2010’s Ip Man 2 both are streaming on Netflix.)

WELL GO USA

His goal was to never break big in Hollywood, though, or to star in movies with mind-blowing kung fu moves.

“I choose films that inspire others,” Yen says. “I choose films that carry a positive message that I feel the world needs.”

Based on Bruce Lee’s real-life teacher, Yen’s Master Ip character really doesn’t want to have students or fight gangs of thugs 10 at a time — he just yearns to live a normal life. In Ip Man 3,

however, when a situation arises where his family and his boys’ school are threatened, “he steps up, and it just so happens he can kick butt,” Yen says.

With his films, Yen is pretty choosy. He turned down a role in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables 2, and it took producer Harvey Weinstein a good year to persuade him to do Crouching Tiger.

“I don’t want to do films that are like something I’ve done for so many years, (with) swords and hair-blowing,” Yen says. “But he came up with this idea of shooting it in English that was very refreshing.”

Doing a Star Wars movie wasn’t as hard a sell. Yen recalls watching the original 1977 movie in Boston’s Chinatown, where he lived as a teenager.

Yen already is ensconced in the Star Wars cone of secrecy. All he’ll spill is that his character “is definitely an important guy,” he had fun doing it, and “I will get some action.”

Rogue One may be many moviegoers’ introduction to Yen, though he has made 70 movies since 1984. “Time flies,” he says.

“You get a couple pieces of white hair and you realize, oh, my goodness, you made another film.”

Hitchcock theme is enhanced by sublime performances There’s no thing as too much good TV. Too much bad, mediocre or dully ordinary TV — oh yes, that we’ve all TV PREVIEW experienced. But TV ROBERT on the level of LonBIANCO don Spy (BBC America, Thursday, 10 ET/PT; eeeg out of four), there will always be room for. And we probably wouldn’t get so much TV at that level if we weren’t living in an era where all things suddenly seem possible, because so many channels are so eager for programming that they’re willing to take risks on projects that might otherwise have been seen as a hard sell.

And so cable and satellite providers — or at least the wise ones among them — make space for BBC America, and BBC America brings us this imported co-pro-

duction starring Ben Whishaw.

For now, Whishaw is probably best known for playing Q in Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies, but soon enough he should be best known for the exquisitely subtle, thoroughly heart-wrenching, multilayered performance he gives in London Spy. Whishaw stars as Danny, a secretly lonely gay romantic who falls in love with an investment banker, Alex (Edward Holcroft) after a chance encounter on a bridge. Danny is open and outgoing; Alex is closed and guarded — and, it turns out, a genius. But opposites attract, and love, and sex, bloom.

And then it all collapses, leaving Danny shattered — and then worse, tossed into the middle of a mystery centered on some much-sought-after object Alex created and Danny has. Danny’s only possible ally is an old friend (a lovely performance from Jim Broadbent), who was a spy himself before he was drummed out for being gay.

What writer Tom Rob Smith

ED MILLER, WTTV LIMITED

Danny (Ben Whishaw) and Alex’s (Edward Holcroft) doomed love affair draws Danny into a web of deception in London Spy.

has created here is a modern twist on a favorite Alfred Hitchcock theme: the innocent caught up in a web of spies. And as with those films, it’s best not to dwell too much on the nature of the Hitchcockian “MacGuffin” device at the spy story’s center. Just think of it as a metaphorical piece

of a puzzle built around the cost, and value, of lies.

What’s most refreshing about Spy is that Danny has no special hero skills, no hidden ninja abilities or superhacking gifts, other than the strength he gains from his commitment to Alex and their relationship. He’s lied to constantly, even by Alex, but he sees through to an essential truth — Alex loved him — and uses that to cut through the falsehoods that surround him.

There are touches in Spy that seem rather needlessly gothic and unnecessarily grim, but they’re more than redeemed by its sustained sense of place and by wonderful performances from Whishaw, Broadbent and, in smaller roles, Holcroft and Charlotte Rampling. And unlike so many modern projects, it seems to be exactly the length it should be, with pauses in the action there to draw us into the characters rather than just as padding.

And after all, that length is just five episodes.

Surely that’s not too much.

KANSAS VS. TEXAS • 1 P.M. TODAY • ESPN

Smart choice

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

UT boss still seeks his first league crown To appreciate the enormity of Kansas University coach Bill Self’s 11 consecutive Big 12 regularseason titles, consider the background of his opposite number in today’s 1 p.m. tipoff.

First-year Texas coach Shaka Smart has ranked at or near the top of just about every coaching search wish list after he became a household name when his 11th-seeded VCU team knocked off Kansas, 71-61, in a 2011 Elite Eight NCAA Tournament game. Smart’s Rams had defeated USC, Georgetown, Purdue and Florida State to advance to the game vs. Kansas.

Smart’s reputation grew the next year when in the NCAA Tournament the 12th-seeded Rams upset No. 5 Wichita State and lost by two points to No. 4 Indiana.

The offers started pouring in and never stopped.

Smart turned down Illinois in 2012, Minnesota and UCLA in 2013 and Marquette in 2014.

“Certainly, Shaka is one of the more gifted guys we have in our profession,” Self said Thursday.

Few would disagree. And nobody could disagree that Smart’s career serves as the best illustration of the difficulty of winning a conference title in basketball.

Smart coached six seasons at VCU after taking over for Anthony Grant, who left to head Alabama’s program. VCU played in the Colonial Athletic Association in Smart’s first three seasons, the Atlantic 10 in his final three.

His finishes in the regular-season conference standings: tied for fifth, fourth, second, second, second, tied for fourth. That’s right, Smart’s next celebration of a regular-season title will be his first. His 2012 team won the Colonial Conference tournament title, and the Rams won the A-10 tourney title last season.

At one point, Smart had a 7-2 NCAA Tournament record and now is 7-5.

Self sounded genuinely impressed with the job Smart has done so far with the Longhorns, who are in a four-way tie for second in the Big 12 with a 4-2 record, joining Kansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia, one game behind Baylor.

“I’m not there every day, but I would say from my vantage point, they enjoy playing for him,” Self said.

“To me, putting your handprint on it is more from a personality standpoint and a recruiting standpoint.

And from what everybody tells me, he’s well liked in the state, and the staff works hard, and it’s definitely a very positive feel.”

Smart’s reputation for developing relationships with players, coupled with the abundance of talent in Texas, could make the Longhorns a perennial contender for what would be Smart’s first regular-season conference title.

On Friday against Topeka High, it was learning how to play without senior point guard Justin Roberts, the team’s leading scorer and floor leader. He dislo-

cated his shoulder in the second quarter and did not return. Without Roberts, the LHS seniors — Morgan, Anthony Harvey and Fred Brou — knew it was their time to step up and fill his absence.

Kansas football adds Oregon kicker

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas University football program’s ongoing search to find adequate answers at the punting and place-kicking positions recently received some good news.

Quinton Conaway, a former KU recruit who last season chose to be a preferred walk-on at Oregon instead of coming to Kansas, has been added to the KU roster.

Conaway did not appear on the Ducks’ official roster, and his eligibility status at Kansas is unknown.

Listed at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds and in the prep recruiting class of 2015, Conaway was one of the top performers at both the Kohl and Chris Sailer kicking academies, which attract some of the top kickers in the country.

On his website, after Conaway’s showing at the camp, Sailer had this to say: “Quinton is an outstanding kicker,

one of the biggest legs in his class. Hits a great ball with excellent height off the ground. Kickoffs are near the very top of his class. Kicks well under pressure. Has as much talent as anyone in the nation. Also developing into a top punter. A fine young man with a great attitude and work ethic. One of the hardest workers out there. A fine college prospect.”

Texas vs.

Kansas University

Hoops at halftime of the KUTexas game — a game that, if KU wins, would mark the 200th victory (against just nine losses) in Allen during the Bill Self era.

That’s a lot of stuff going on — the game, as usual, taking top billing.

“They (Longhorns) are athletic, and they are aggressive, and they have a rim protector,” Self said of 6-11 senior Prince Ibeh, fourth in the Big 12 at 1.5 blocks a game.

“I think they have the pieces to really make a serious dent in this thing.

But I think every coach in our league thought that before the season started, too. No question that they have got great pieces.”

Texas has won three straight games, including wins over No. 6 West Virginia and No. 19 Iowa State as well as Oklahoma State, a team that beat KU by 19 points on Tuesday.

“We talk about teams that are athletic ... they may have the best athlete in college basketball in Roach,” Self said of 6-4 freshman guard Kerwin Roach, who averages 5.6 points a game. “He may be as good an athlete as there is in college basketball for his size. Taylor (Isaiah, 16.4 ppg, 4.7 apg) is a jet. I think Felix (Javan, 11.1 ppg) has had a great year, too. He’s making shots and has been a calming influence for them.”

First-year UT coach Shaka Smart was coach of the VCU team that clipped KU, 71-61, in the 2011 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in San Antonio. Smart also is the coach, who when asked last April how his style fits the Big 12, said: “It translated pretty well a few years ago in San Antonio.”

Smart took over for longtime Longhorn coach Rick Barnes, whose first Tennessee team is 9-9 overall and 2-4 in the SEC. “I think they play very, very hard,” Self said. “I think the one thing that they have done a ton of that’s a little different than Rick is switch defenses. They do a good job of keeping you off balance and are pressuring more now in the fullcourt.”

Back to the recruiting aspect of today’s game ... Jackson, who is originally from Detroit, is on his official KU campus visit. He’s also considering Michigan State, Arizona, Maryland, UCLA and UNLV. ESPN’s scouting report on Jackson describes him as “the ultimate finisher.” Also ... “a tough and athletic forward that is a fearless competitor ... a tenacious rebounder who plays with a never ending motor. ... explosive ... utilizes his physical tools to protect the rim with his shot-blocking prowess and is a high steal guy anticipating passing lanes.”

“He is playing hard every game, and he’s got his body in the best condition it has ever been in,” Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi told jayhawkslant.com.

“There is a really good chance that he is going to make his way back to No. 1 when we update the rankings. He’s attacked the glass, worked from rim to rim in transition and has really made

DeAndre can also step out and shoot — I mean, he can really shoot for a big guy,” Bossi added. “You talk about his size, his athleticism, his ability to protect the rim, his ability to finish at the rim and now he’s a 7-foot guy that can trail in transition, take a pass and hit a 22-footer.

“We are very excited about the game on Saturday,” Ayton’s mentor, Larnelle Johnson told jayhawkslant.com. “I can tell you that the kids (on team who all will attend KU-UT game) are very excited. Being able to watch Kansas play is a big thing for the kids.”

LAWRENCE HIGH DEFENSIVE END AMANI BLEDSOE (72) comes around to wrap up Free State quarterback Bryce Torneden for a sack on Sept. 17 at FSHS.

Bledsoe says picking OU just felt right for him

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Once the high school football season ended, Lawrence High senior Amani Bledsoe spent most of his time focusing on his college recruitment.

It was a process that stressed him out, dealing with all of the phone calls and text messages and inhome visits from coaches around the country.

Finally on Thursday, Bledsoe made his decision to play for Oklahoma, choosing the Sooners over Kansas University. He met with Oklahoma defensive-line coach Diron Reynolds at LHS with his three brothers and one of his brothers’ girlfriend and announced his decision.

“He’s like, ‘What’s it going to take for you to come here?’” Bledsoe said of his meeting with Reynolds. “I was like, ‘I think I’m ready for you to be my coach for the next four to five years.

I’m ready to commit and be a Sooner.’ He banged the table and smiled at me and gave me a big hug.

Then we called (head coach Bob) Stoops together, and he was all excited.”

Bledsoe, a 6-foot-5, 272-pound defensive end, is the top recruit in Kansas and ranked No. 122 in the nation in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com. He also considered Baylor, North Carolina State and Oregon.

free throws with three seconds left and he stole a pass before Topeka could set up a desperation shot attempt at the buzzer. The Lions will face Highland Park in the championship game at 5:30 tonight.

“I thought our guys did a nice job of just settling down and playing hard,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “We didn’t play real smart in certain spots of the game, which we have to learn from. But it was a gutty effort.

“Our guys really fought and clawed. I really liked that part of the game.

They just really dug in and weren’t going to let it get away.”

In the fourth quarter, the Lions (11-1, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A) took a ninepoint lead when Morgan converted on a layup and Harvey drilled a deep three from the left wing.

Harvey drained his first five three-point attempts on his way to a game-high 18 points.

Three minutes later, freshman Noah Butler drove to the rim and scored on a layup-andthe-foul bucket for a 5549 lead. That was the last basket for the Lions, who

His decision to play for the Sooners came down to his relationships with the coaches and his comfort level with the school.

He went on an official visit to Norman on Oct. 23-24, traveling to Oklahoma with his mother, brother and grandfather.

“They just stood out from any other school a lot,” Bledsoe said Friday, cheering on the LHS boys basketball team. “You have that feeling when you know you have the right school. I just really got that feeling. Like, I got there and, ‘This is the right place. This is home.’

Everything about them seems so right.”

Bledsoe, who named Oklahoma and Kansas as his two finalists on Jan. 12, said it was a tough decision between the two schools in the final weeks.

“It was hard because I’m close to all of those guys,” Bledsoe said. “I know (head coach David) Beaty is kind of new, I just met him, but I still got really close to him throughout the year.

(Defensive coordinator) Clint Bowen, I can really relate to him because of he’s a Lawrence High alum. He’s a great guy.

Everywhere you go, people talk highly of him.”

Despite the intrigue of possibly playing immediately at KU, Bledsoe said that wasn’t his biggest concern.

“That’s something to

look at to get your stats down and stuff. But it’s not the main factor,” Bledsoe said. “You can’t go to a school just because of that. You have to be happy at the end of the day.”

Bledsoe felt at home with the Sooners and their coaching staff. He said they were always one of the top schools in his mind, even after former defensive-line coach Jerry Montgomery, who led Bledsoe’s recruitment, left the Sooners in February 2015 to become the defensive-front assistant for the Green Bay Packers.

“It set them back at first because that was a huge loss,” Bledsoe said.

“But they got another coach, coach Reynolds.

He’s another great guy. … The moment I met (Stoops), a great downto-earth coach. He’s not one of those super-strict coaches. He knows how to take care of business but have a good time with you at the same time. Really genuine, too.”

Now that he’s finally made his decision, Bledsoe said he’s happy to relax, focus on his school work and hang out with friends.

“At the end of the day,” Bledsoe said, “you just have to go with what feels right for you and where you can see yourself playing football for the next four to five years.”

went the final 3:55 without a field goal.

The Lions missed their final five shots and turned the ball over three times, the last turnover turning into a game-tying layup by Topeka senior John Madden with under 10 seconds left. After Madden’s bucket, Morgan dribbled down the court into the paint and drew the foul for his winning free throws.

Morgan, who has a bruise under his left eye, has been streaky at the free-throw line this season — he was 3-of-9 on Friday — but he said he focused on the three C’s: consistency, confidence and concentration.

“Not known as a ballhandler, but just tried to do my part and step up,” said Morgan, who had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

“Get to the paint and hopefully draw a foul or get the layup. Thankfully got that foul call.”

Roberts exited with 2:19 left in the first half when he was fouled going around a ball screen. A trainer wrapped his right shoulder with ice, and he cheered from the bench in the second half.

“It popped out,” Roberts said. “It felt like it popped back. I can’t really move it across my body right now. I’ll just ice it tonight and see how it feels in the morning.”

After Roberts left the

court, the Trojans (5-6) scored the final seven points of the second quarter for a four-point halftime lead.

“All of the seniors stepped up and kept it positive,” Morgan said of the locker room at halftime. “We were only down four points. I knew that if we played like we were capable of, we were going to get the win. It was just a matter of our attitude and effort.”

In the third quarter, Harvey knocked down two triples, Brou hit a three and scored on a layup-and-the-foul, and Morgan scored six points.

Mallory, who was playing sick, added a layup.

“I think anybody in our (nine)-man rotation can get hot at any time,” Harvey said. “If it’s somebody’s turn, they’ve got to go. I stepped up tonight.

Everybody stepped up tonight. It was a huge win.”

Chiefs expect Charles back

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Chiefs general manager John Dorsey expects running back Jamaal Charles to be ready for next season, though he sidestepped questions about a number of pending free agents.

In his first comments since the Chiefs’ season ended with a playoff loss in New England, Dorsey said that Charles is “ahead of schedule” in his return from a torn ACL. Charles hurt his right knee on Oct. 11 in a loss to the Chicago Bears, robbing the Chiefs of their biggest playmaker.

Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware shared carries in his place.

“I’ve always thought it was the nine- to 10-month window (for recovery), but with the surgical procedures and the way they are today, guys have come back a lot faster than they have in years past,” Dorsey said. “I think it’s a case-by-case basis. It’s got to be.”

He declined to discuss the future of All-Pro safety Eric Berry and veteran linebackers Derrick Johnson and Tamba Hali, saying only that “I would like to assess every situation.” All three have been a major part of the Kansas City defense, and all three are free agents.

Dorsey did acknowledge having conversations with Berry’s representatives.

He also declined to discuss any other free agents, including defensive tackle Jaye Howard, cornerback Sean Smith,

Holton jumped to a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter before Tongie took a 26-23 lead at halftime.

Holton rallied to tie the score at the end of regulation before the Chieftains won the overtime 8-4.

Chandler Caldwell led Tonganoxie with 11 points.

The Chieftains (1-9) will play De Soto at 2:30 p.m. today.

Piper fuels Firebird girls

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It did not take long to figure out that the Lansing game plan against Free State High girls basketball team Friday night had a lot to do with slowing down junior Madison Piper.

It also did not take long to see that the Lions’ plan wouldn’t work.

Despite dealing with constant double teams, suffocating face guards and the attention of everyone in black and red, including those sitting on the bench, Piper scored the Firebirds’ first 12 points and finished with a game-high 23 while leading the Firebirds to a 5425 victory at FSHS. Three minutes into the game, after Piper had scored eight straight points to kick-start Free State’s latest victory, Lansing coach Christine Robinson called timeout and not-so-calmly reminded her girls, “She is not gonna beat us.”

She did — when she had the ball and when she didn’t.

Despite Lansing’s attentive defense, Piper was 5-for-6 in the first quarter and knocked down a three-pointer to open the second, and Free State led 19-4. Then the talented junior turned into a decoy of sorts, and Cameryn Thomas, Jaelyn Two Hearts, Erin Cushing and Hannah Walter took advantage.

“We know that when she’s hot we need to get her the ball,” senior guard Caiti Schlesener said.

“She just got hot early, and that energy really got us going.”

With the Lions’ halfcourt defense draped all over Piper, the four

FREE STATE HIGH FORWARD MADISON PIPER (14) SHOOTS over Lansing defender Victoria Robinson in the Firebirds’ 54-25 victory Friday night at Free State. other Free State players on the floor easily moved the ball and got easy looks. Two Hearts drilled back-to-back three-pointers, Thomas twice drove down the lane for strong layups, and Cushing, on a sweet drop pass from Jaycie Bishop, used all her might to get a shot up to the rim and watched it crawl over and fall to put the Firebirds up 33-7 late in the first half.

Even with Piper ripping the nets on the shots she did take, few plays rivaled the excitement of one a couple minutes earlier that featured Piper

as a passer and Walter as the beneficiary.

After a rebound left Piper double-teamed in the post, Walter dove into the lane from the left wing looking to make a play. Piper spotted her teammate as soon as she made her move and calmly dished a perfect bounce pass to the charging Firebird, who caught it, finished the layup and drew the foul in the process.

Both Walter and Piper jumped in celebration after the ball fell through the net, and that play perfectly summed up a great night and impressive effort by the home team.

“We work really hard to get Madison open,” Walter said. “And she works hard to get us open. She does a really good job of finding the open player, and as soon as I saw that double team, I knew I had to get open for her. It felt great to finish it. We just like to get excited about every little thing we can.”

Added Piper: “That was my favorite play of the game. I just remember thinking, I hope this pass gets there, and it did.

Hannah was amazing tonight.”

Free State (7-2) shot 53 percent from the floor and finished with 14 assists as a team. Five Firebirds assisted on Piper buckets.

One of the most celebrated points, however, came in the game’s final seconds, when reserve Caroline Patton knocked in her second of two free throws to pick up a point on her birthday.

“I know I score a lot,” Piper said. “But it doesn’t always feel like it. This team is so good at playing together and playing for each other and tonight was a great example of that.”

Added Walter: “We’re out to get some people this year.”
