The Wichita City Council often leaves you shaking your head, but this week, you're lucky if you don't need a neck brace. The council and staff spent four hours Tuesday night pleading poverty as they debated how (not whether) to implement widespread paid parking in now-free lots and streets downtown. Then, a few minutes later, they spent another hour deciding to spend more than half a million dollars on two high tech outhouses for Naftzger and A. Price Woodard parks. And since the meeting, council member Dalton Glasscock, who opposed the potty project, has announced plans to tear a page from Donald Trump's playbook and appoint his own personal DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which is a spectacularly bad idea for reasons I'll get to in a minute. But first, let's talk downtown parking. City staff wants to charge for it, desperately. So do some downtown development interests, who have their eye on land that's now used for parking lots that they want to buy on the cheap for new projects, which would require their own set of city subsidies including (but not limited to) more city-funded parking garages. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Wichitans who go downtown are opposed to paying for what they now get for free. They're also not happy with the idea of the city hiring a private company from Idaho to write more tickets. Also unsurprisingly, they've been pushed aside. While the council can't agree on a plan, there's apparently unanimous agreement that we're going through with a massive exercise in extracting money from people with cars. Only the details are to be worked out — to be continued on Dec. 10. If you're angry about this, you have every right to be. Squishy numbers What I'm most angry about is that the numbers used to justify paid parking keep changing. The city's mantra has been for months that the fund for parking operation and maintenance has been losing money since 2018. Then, an annoying local newspaper columnist did some addition and subtraction and pointed out that if you take away the two COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021, when business shutdowns brought downtown parking virtually to a halt, the city actually made a little money on the parking fund. City staff now says the numbers they've been showing in public meetings for months are wrong and that a $53,000 profit last year was really a loss, because of unspecified bills that were paid late, or something. And then there's the issue of "deferred maintenance" of city-owned garages, some of which serve the general public and others that are technically kind of open, but essentially serve as private parking for nearby businesses, including the Drury Hotel, River Vista Apartments and King of Freight. In September, Assistant City Manager Troy Anderson, City Hall's point man for paid parking, said there's $8.3 million in deferred maintenance needed on the garages. In two months, that figure has blossomed to $18 million. The list of projects needing to be done? There isn't one, although Mayor Lily Wu has requested that one be prepared. I can't wait for that list to come out so I can walk the garages and see what really needs work, what are the "wouldn't it be nice?" items and what's just make-believe. Wu has expressed her displeasure that the council may have to divert other money in its capital improvement plan to backstop deferred maintenance on the garages. I would gently suggest that the city scrap another plan of questionable popularity and utility, the ongoing "road diet." This consists of turning one-way streets downtown back into the two-way streets they originally were, while reducing car lanes and adding bike paths that hardly anyone's going to use. That's about $8 million right there. Toilets of steel Speaking of boondoggles, let's return to the case of the pricey privies. City staff recommended and the council approved the purchase and installation of two "Portland Loo" compact outdoor restrooms at a cost of $531,878. They're made of specially coated stainless steel, so it's relatively easy to remove paint or Sharpie graffiti (or replace a panel if someone scratches graffiti in it). And they have blue LED lighting, which makes it harder for intravenous drug users to find a vein. But the signature feature of the Portland Loo is that it has louvers at ground level so interested bystanders can count the number of feet in the stall, to detect possible conduct of a sexual nature taking place inside. In addition to being expensive to buy and install, most cities that have them report cleaning and repair costs of about $11,000 to $20,000 per unit per year — although Wichita City Hall is saying they know a guy who can do it for $5,000. If it were up to me, I'd just put out a couple of regular porta-potties and see how it goes. Paint the inside with a graffiti-resistant coating to deter vandalism and let some local art students decorate the outside and call it public art. Quite honestly, if someone's desperate enough to shoot up or have sex in an outdoor toilet, I'd categorize that as none of my business, and I really don't even want to know. No to local DOGE Glasscock, once a fairly midstream Republican, is the business guy for national right-wing commentator/radio host/podcaster/influencer Todd Starnes, so he has to ride the Trump train to wherever it may lead. And mimicking Trump's example, Glasscock is proposing to set up a DOGE, a quasi-governmental group to comb through the city's books and tell him where to cut spending and who to fire. While on the surface it sounds like a worthy endeavor, such groups almost always consist of "concerned citizens" who are mainly concerned with how they can make bank off inside information and influencing government decisions. We're already seeing it in Washington's version of DOGE, headed up by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with support from Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, America's Worst Congressperson (tm). Since the election, stock in Musk's Tesla car company has gone up from $242.84 a share to $353.92 at this writing. Tesla buyers have been getting $7,500 tax credits to buy Musk's cars for years, but now that his company dominates the electric vehicle market, he wants to eliminate the tax credits to keep the competition from catching up, Autoweek reports. Even the name DOGE was calculated to put more money in Musk's pocket. The acronym's a free plug for Dogecoin cryptocurrency. Musk has said he owns "a bunch" of Dogecoin — and it's doubled in value since Election Day. So I agree with Glasscock that the Toilet of Steel is a waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere. But on the upside, a Portland Loo would be the perfect place to stick Glasscock's plan for a DOGE of his own. (c)2024 The Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kan.)

With more than half of the 16 teams still mathematically alive to make the conference championship game, the Big 12 will command a lot of attention in the final week of the regular season. No. 14 Arizona State and No. 17 Iowa State would play for the Big 12 title and likely College Football Playoff spot on Dec. 7 if they both win Saturday and there's a four-way tie for first place. There are seven other teams that begin this week with hopes, slim in most cases, of getting into the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Last week it was No. 19 BYU and No. 23 Colorado that had the inside track to the championship game. Arizona State beat the Cougars and Kansas knocked off the Buffaloes, and here we are. "Everybody counted us out, I think, two weeks ago," Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said after his team beat Utah 31-28. "We didn't flinch. We didn't waver. And we just keep fighting." The Cyclones were national darlings the first half of the season as they won seven straight games to match the best start in program history. Back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas followed. Now they've won two straight heading into "Farmageddon," their rivalry game against Kansas State at home. "Right now they've got the pen and they continue to write the story," Campbell said of his players, "and I hope they will continue to write it the way they've got the ability to write it. Unwavering. Tough, mentally tough, physically tough. This group has stood for it every step of the way." Arizona State has been an even better story than the Cyclones. The Sun Devils have six more wins than they did last season, when they went 3-9. They were picked to finish last in their first year in the Big 12. They'll go for their fifth straight victory when they play at Arizona on Saturday. "These guys came off no momentum and everybody doubting them, and everybody is still doubting them. That's what makes this special," second-year coach Kenny Dillingham said. "Hopefully the expectations become higher. I don't know if there's a way we can exceed expectations more than we're exceeding them right now." Checking in on five of the Top 25: The Ducks were idle Saturday after clinching a spot in the Big Ten championship game with their win at Wisconsin on Nov. 16. Oregon can go 12-0 in the regular season for the first time since 2010 if it beats Washington at home this week. Oregon's only two losses last season came against the Huskies, both decided by three points. The first was a top-10 matchup in the regular season and the second was a top-five matchup in the Pac-12 championship game. The Ducks are 19 1/2-point favorites this time, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The Buckeyes' showdown with upstart Indiana combined with Michigan's dropoff after winning the national championship have lowered the volume on this week's meeting with the Wolverines at the Horseshoe. If Michigan beats Ohio State a fourth straight time and it keeps the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten championship game and playoff ... well, there'll be lots of noise in Columbus then. The Lone Star Showdown returns to the gridiron for the first time since 2011, when Texas and Texas A&M were in the Big 12. The Longhorns head to No. 20 Texas A&M on a four-game win streak. The Aggies have lost two of three after Saturday's four-overtime loss at Auburn. The winner advances to the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia. The Broncos are tied with Notre Dame for the second-longest active win streak, at nine games, and they seem to have adopted a survive-and-advance mantra. They trailed 23-point underdog Wyoming in the fourth quarter before winning 17-13 and clinching a spot in the Mountain West championship game. They won their previous game, 42-21 against San Jose State, but didn't pull away until the fourth quarter. Two weeks ago they beat a three-win Nevada team 28-21. Just when you think Illinois is about to cash in for the season, they do what they did against Rutgers. The Illini were down 31-30 when they lined up for a 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds left. Ethan Moczulski missed. But wait. Rutgers called timeout before the snap, and Bret Bielema thought better of trying another kick and sent his offense back on the field. Luke Altmyer passed to Pat Bryant for the winning 40-yard touchdown. The Illini won't play for the Big Ten title, but they have a chance for nine wins and a nice bowl. Ohio State played in three of the five regular-season top-five matchups and won three of them. The Buckeyes lost to Oregon and beat Penn State and Indiana. ... Kansas' 37-21 win over Colorado made the Jayhawks the first FBS team with a losing record to beat three straight Top 25 opponents. The Jayhawks, who were 2-6 a month ago, will be bowl eligible if they win at Baylor. ... Nebraska ended the longest power conference bowl drought with its 44-25 win over Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers haven't played in a bowl since 2016.

BRAZIL legend Ronaldinho is set to become a grandfather aged just 45. The stunning influencer girlfriend of the soccer star’s son Joao Mendes, who signed for Burnley from Barcelona last August, announced at the weekend she was pregnant with their first child. Giovanna Buscacio, 25, who lives with 19-year-old Joao in Manchester and has an impressive 130,000 Instagram followers, wrote in a post yesterday along emojis of a baby and a milk bottle: “16 weeks and counting.” She followed up on the selfie pic she published showing her resting a hand on her exposed belly by posting footage of her kissing Joao in a lift and snaps of the happy couple alongside a message in English and Portuguese which said: “Mom and dad. Incomplete without you my love but we are already together.” Joao responded by saying: “I love you a lot, my darling.” Former Barcelona and AC Milan star Ronaldinho, pictured on Saturday at a football charity event in east China , has yet to make any comment on social media. Joao, currently playing for Burnley U21s mainly as a right winger, is Ronaldinho’s only child. His mum is stunning former dancer Janaina Mendes, who met the two-times winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year award and started dating him when she was a dancer on a popular Brazilian TV show called Domingao do Faustao. She was living in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte but according to her Instagram is now based in Barcelona. Joao Mendes was just 14 when he signed his first contract with Nike in May 2019 in the presence of his stunning mum and Ronaldinho, the face of the company when he was crowned the world’s best player in 2005. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS The Rio de Janeiro-born youngster signed his first professional contract with Brazil’s Cruzeiro aged 13 before moving to Europe. He was assigned to Barcelona’s youth team after trials but despite improvements with the U19 squad was let go by the Catalan giants last summer so he could link up with Burnley’s U21s squad. His current contract expires on June 30 2026. Joao’s pretty brunette girlfriend is the sister of an actress called Guillia Buscacio. The couple have been together more than two years and Giovanna has shared several snaps on social media showing their new life in England since they moved to the UK together. Ronaldinho, who spent his 40th birthday in prison in Paraguay after being arrested for flying into the country on a fake passport, turns 45 on March 21. Trophies
