Subject: 6 Days Until the NIAs of District 1 Candidate Forum
To:

Candidates and NIA Colleagues:

We are just reaching out a final time before the candidate forum on Thursday, October 23rd.  

We have no significant changes to speak of — leading to this being our final communication.  We invite you to read the entirety of the e-mail to be prepared for next Thursday.

Final Details:

•A response to the question: "What makes the neighborhoods of District 1 valuable to you as a Mayor/Councilmember/School Board Member?" — will be asked as part of your introduction to the audience.  This is the only question you will receive in advance.

•We will have a THS student photographer grabbing photos.  He will be instructed to get an individual photo of each candidate.  The best one will be edited and published.  You are also welcome to take your own photos/bring your own photographer.

•I will be in the room starting at 5 PM to help with set up and hospitality items (water, gum/mints).  You are welcome to check in 10-15 minutes before 6 PM to get settled in.  We do understand that a late arrival might happen, as organizations are likely asking for more of your time.  We intend to stick to our 7:30 PM exit time — and absences are…noticed.

•Finally, to help you orient, City Council District 1 includes the following:

•Neighborhood Improvement Associations: Central Park, Downtown (under active), Historic Holliday Park, Historic Old Town, Monroe, Tennessee Town, and Ward-Meade (inactive)

•Public schools include: Meadows Elementary, Williams Science & Fine Arts Magnet School (Elementary), Robinson Middle School, and Topeka High School

•Independent schools include: Cair Paravel Latin School, International Academy, Mater Dei Catholic School, and St. John's Classical Lutheran School

Allusions to these items will come up during questioning.  We're providing these points of clarity to recognize districts for TPS BOE are defined with different metrics.

Please reach out if your attendance plans have changed or you have other questions.

Thank you again!

Subject: Addressing Landlord Licensing Concerns and Promoting Self-Regulation

Residents and Stakeholders,I recently had the privilege of attending a meeting with the Landlords Association, where we engaged in a productive discussion about the future of landlord licensing and the concerns surrounding it. As your Mayor, I would be committed to fostering a fair and sustainable environment for both property owners and tenants in our community.

After careful consideration, I propose that the Landlords Association adopt a robust system of self-regulation. This would involve establishing a clear and enforceable Code of Conduct for all members. By setting high standards for professionalism and accountability, the Association can ensure that landlords uphold ethical practices without the need for additional bureaucratic oversight.

Much like real estate professionals, who are entrusted to regulate their own conduct and monitor their peers, I firmly believe that landlords are capable of maintaining high standards through a self-policing model. Introducing unnecessary user fees or external regulations could place undue burdens on organizations already equipped to manage their own affairs responsibly.I am confident that by working collaboratively, the Landlords Association can lead the way in promoting fair, transparent, and professional property management practices that benefit our entire community. I welcome your thoughts and feedback as we move forward together.

To calculate the value a lease payment adds to a building, you need to use the capitalization rate (cap rate) formula, which relates a property's value to its net operating income (NOI). [1]  

Calculations 1. Determine the annual lease payment: The question provides a total lease payment of $250,000 over 10 years. 

 • Annual Lease Payment = $250,000 / 10 years = $25,000. 

2. Estimate the Net Operating Income (NOI): For the purpose of using the cap rate formula, the annual lease payment is assumed to be the Net Operating Income (NOI). The NOI represents the annual income generated by the property before deducting interest expenses or income taxes. 

3. Apply the cap rate formula: The formula to find the property value is a rearranged version of the standard cap rate formula. 

 • Formula:  

 • Property Value = $25,000 / 0.06 (6%) 

 • Property Value = $416,666.67 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  

Conclusion A $250,000 lease payment over 10 years, with a 6% cap rate, adds an estimated $416,666.67 in value to the building. This figure reflects the building's total worth, not just the lease's value. [6, 7]

Go Foster

For a $3 million, 10-year lease, the most significant financial implication under modern accounting standards (ASC 842) is the requirement for the lessee to record a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. The precise accounting treatment depends on the lease's classification, which affects how expenses are reported on the income statement. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  

Key calculations and concepts1. Annual payments If the $3 million is the total value over the lease term and payments are made annually and evenly, the nominal annual payment is:$3 million / 10 years = $300,000 per year. [6]  

In reality, commercial leases often have escalating payments, and the total payments over the term may exceed the base amount due to variable costs. [6, 7, 8, 9]  

2. Lease liability and ROU asset At the beginning of the lease, the company must recognize a lease liability and an ROU asset on its balance sheet. 

• Lease Liability: The present value of all future lease payments. This calculation requires a discount rate, typically the rate implicit in the lease or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate (IBR). 

• Right-of-Use (ROU) Asset: The lease liability plus any initial direct costs, minus any lease incentives. [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]  

Example calculation (with assumptions): 

• Assumptions: Annual payments of $300,000 made at the beginning of each year. A discount rate of 5%. 

• Calculation: 

 • The lease liability is the present value of the nine remaining payments of $300,000. The first payment is not included in the liability, as it's paid upfront. 

 • Using a present value of an annuity calculation for the remaining payments:  

 • Where P = $300,000, r = 0.05, and n = 9. 

 • 

• Initial Entry: 

 • The initial lease liability is approximately $2,130,865. 

 • The ROU asset is the liability plus the first payment: $2,130,865 + $300,000 = $2,430,865. [15, 16, 17, 18, 19]  

3. Expense recognition The way expenses are recorded on the income statement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance or operating lease. [2, 20, 21]  

| | Operating Lease | Finance Lease |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Income Statement | A single, straight-line "lease expense" is recorded each year. For a $3 million lease over 10 years, this would be an expense of $300,000 annually (before considering escalations or other factors). | Two separate expenses are recorded: interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense for the ROU asset. • The interest expense is higher in earlier years and decreases over time. • The amortization expense is typically straight-line. |

| Cash Flow Statement | Payments are shown as an operating activity. | The interest portion of payments is an operating activity, while the principal portion is a financing activity. |

| Balance Sheet | The ROU asset and lease liability decrease over the term. | The ROU asset and lease liability decrease over the term. |

4. Financial ratio implications Recording the lease liability on the balance sheet increases a company's total reported liabilities. This can significantly affect financial metrics, including: 

• Debt-to-equity ratio: A higher lease liability increases debt, making the ratio appear higher. 

• EBITDA: Operating lease expenses are typically classified as operating costs, while the interest on a finance lease is below EBITDA. The expense recognition method can therefore affect the EBITDA metric. 

• Covenants: Companies with loan agreements may have to renegotiate their financial covenants (restrictions on their financial performance) due to the new accounting rules. [20, 21, 25, 26, 27]

21

The "21 days to get what you want" theory is a popular concept that suggests a person can form a new habit in 21 days, but this is a simplification and not a universally accepted fact. The idea originated from plastic surgeon Dr. Maxwell Maltz, who observed his patients took about 21 days to adjust to new features. However, it's more of a psychological benchmark or minimum, and the actual time for habit formation varies significantly based on the individual, the complexity of the habit, and the commitment involved. [1, 2, 3]  

The origins and reality of the theory 

• Origin: The concept is based on Dr. Maxwell Maltz's observations in the 1950s that it took a minimum of 21 days for his clients to get used to their new faces after surgery. He later published this observation, which was then popularized. [1]  

• The "minimum" point: The key in Maltz's original statement was the word "minimum." He noted that it takes a minimum of about 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to form. [1]  

• Varying timeframes: Modern research suggests that the time to form a habit can range from 18 days to 254 days, depending on the person and the habit. Factors like the complexity of the habit and individual differences play a large role. [3]  

• Psychological benchmark: While not a hard and fast rule, the 21-day idea is still useful as a motivational tool. It can help you start with a concrete, achievable goal, even if the habit isn't fully formed by then. [4, 5]  

How to use the 21-day concept to build a habit 

• Start small: Don't try to change everything at once. Make small, incremental changes to make the process more manageable and sustainable. [6]  

• Plan ahead: Don't go into it blindly. Map out your new routine and schedule reminders for yourself. Have a plan for when obstacles inevitably appear. [6]  

• Find accountability: Share your goal with a supportive friend, family member, or group. An accountability partner can help you stay on track. [6, 7]  

• Track your progress: Keep a daily checklist or graph to visually track your progress. Seeing how far you've come can be a great motivator. [7]  

• Reward yourself: Plan small rewards for yourself along the way to stay motivated. This could be anything from a massage to a new shirt. [7]  

• Don't give up if you slip up: If you miss a day, don't consider it a failure. View it as a learning opportunity, analyze what went wrong, and get back on track. Consistency over time is key, regardless of how long it takes. [6, 8]

Idea

An old-timey Scottish pub features rustic, layered materials like dark wood and stone, with low, intimate ceilings and cozy, worn furniture. Key elements include a prominent, central bar often made of dark wood, multiple small rooms or "snugs," and a large fireplace, creating a warm, lived-in atmosphere that feels like a historical community hub. [1, 2, 3]  

Architectural and material features 

• Walls and flooring: Expect rough-hewn stone or plaster walls, and worn wooden floorboards, possibly with a slate or flagstone floor in high-traffic areas. [1, 3]  

• Ceilings: Low, dark wooden beams or plaster ceilings to create an intimate feel. Some historic buildings might have timber-framed construction. [1, 3, 4]  

• Windows: Small, sometimes multi-paned windows, which historically helped keep heat in. Large bay windows may exist in some areas for seating, but often the overall impression is one of enclosure. [1, 3, 4, 5]  

• Lighting: Soft, layered lighting is crucial. Think of small, warm lights, perhaps wall sconces, and wall-mounted brass lamps rather than bright, overhead fixtures. [1, 3, 6]  

Interior design and layout 

• Bar area: A central, substantial bar is the focal point. It should be made of dark, aged wood, possibly with a polished brass or copper top and footrest. Behind the bar, a wall of shelves displaying bottles, often with a mix of vintage and modern bottles, creates a visual history. 

• Seating: A mix of worn leather, dark wood, and padded seating. Look for built-in banquettes, small wooden tables, and potentially some padded, high-backed chairs in corners or near the fire. Intimate, separated spaces called "snugs" are a hallmark of traditional pubs, offering private nooks for small groups. 

• Fireplace: A large, working fireplace is a central feature, providing both heat and a focal point for the room. The surrounding area might be a brick or stone hearth, with a substantial mantelpiece. 

• Decor: The look is layered and authentic, not manufactured. This includes historical elements like old maps or framed prints of local scenery, family photos, and antique mirrors that help reflect the warm light. Shelves should be filled with decorative objects like old bottles, tankards, and ornaments, giving the impression of a lived-in space with a story. [1, 3, 6, 7]  

Overall atmosphere 

• Lived-in feel: The space should feel welcoming and comfortable, with surfaces that show their age and history, rather than looking brand new. [1, 6]  

• Sense of history: The design should evoke a sense of continuity with the past, with elements like the sturdy bar, the fireplace, and the low ceilings communicating a long history of use and community connection. [1, 2, 3]

Most frequently, the final vote is taken by the annexing city's governing body, such as a city council, after a review process. In other cases, the county's Board of County Commissioners has the ultimate authority. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  

Annexation by city ordinance This is the most common form of annexation, where a city's governing body votes to annex land that meets specific criteria. 

• Voluntary annexation: If a property owner petitions for or consents to annexation, and the land is adjacent to the city, the city council can approve the annexation by passing an ordinance. No public hearing is required. 

• Unilateral annexation: A city can initiate an annexation without the property owner's consent if certain conditions are met, such as when the land is platted and adjoins the city. The city council still casts the final vote via ordinance after following the required procedure. [4, 6, 7, 8, 9]  

Annexation approved by the Board of County Commissioners For annexations involving land that does not adjoin the city, or in certain other circumstances, the process requires an extra layer of approval. 

• City requests determination: The city's governing body first passes a resolution to ask the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to review the proposal. 

• BCC final vote: The county commissioners then hold a hearing and vote on whether the annexation would hinder the area's proper growth and development. A two-thirds vote of the board is required for approval. If approved, the city can then annex the land by ordinance. [5, 10, 11, 12, 13]  

Potential for appeal In most cases, property owners and even the annexing city may challenge the annexation decision by filing an appeal in district court. In August 2025, a Johnson County judge upheld the City of Edgerton's annexation of land, despite a legal challenge. [4, 14, 15, 16]

Vicks VapoRub has several recognized healing powers, including relieving minor coughs, muscle and joint aches, and helping with the symptoms of a stuffy nose. It may also help with nerve-related pain in the feet, toenail fungus, and calluses due to its active ingredients like menthol and camphor. While some uses are anecdotal and not supported by evidence, the benefits for coughs, aches, and nasal congestion are backed by limited research, and it can improve sleep quality when dealing with a cold. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]  

Benefits of Vicks VapoRub 

• Relieves cough and congestion: The menthol and camphor can help provide a sensation of improved airflow, temporarily relieving symptoms of a stuffy nose and reducing coughs associated with the common cold. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9]  

• Eases minor aches and pains: The topical application of menthol and camphor may act as a topical analgesic, providing temporary relief for minor muscle and joint pain. [1, 4, 6, 10]  

• Aids sleep: Some studies suggest that using Vicks VapoRub on the chest can improve sleep quality for both children with a cough and their parents. [1, 7, 8]  

• Treats other conditions: There is some evidence to support its use for helping with toenail fungus, and softening calluses. [2, 5, 7]  

• Moisturizes dry skin: The petroleum jelly base can help moisturize dry, rough skin. [1, 11]  

Important considerations 

• For external use only: Vicks VapoRub should never be ingested or applied under the nostrils. [7]  

• Age restrictions: It is not recommended for children under two years of age and should be used with caution for children between two and three. [7]  

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Vicks should be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. [7]  

• Not for all conditions: It is not a long-term solution for chronic pain and should not be used for treating severe coughs with mucus or blood, or for conditions like acne, notes Healthline. If you have a chronic condition or severe symptoms, consult a healthcare professional. [2, 4, 10, 12]  

• Limited evidence for other uses: Many other popular uses, such as for headaches or as a bug repellent, are not supported by evidence. [2, 7, 10]

Cooking with parsley

Parsley, a common culinary herb, offers numerous health benefits. Here are some of the most notable: [1, 2]  

Antioxidant Properties: Parsley is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, and flavonoids. These antioxidants combat oxidative stress and protect against chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]  

Nutrient Density: Parsley is a nutrient-dense herb, providing essential vitamins (A, C, and K), minerals (calcium, iron, and magnesium), and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall health and well-being. [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]  

Bone Health: Parsley is an excellent source of vitamin K, which is crucial for bone health. It helps in blood clotting and prevents bone fractures. [3, 15, 16, 17]  

Digestive Health: Parsley contains fiber and essential oils that promote healthy digestion. It can help reduce bloating, gas, and constipation. [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]  

Kidney Health: Parsley has diuretic properties, which help flush out excess fluids and toxins from the body. This can support kidney health and prevent urinary tract infections. [16, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28]  

Heart Health: Parsley contains antioxidants and flavonoids that may help reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure. This can benefit heart health. [29, 30]  

Immune System Support: The high vitamin C content of parsley boosts the immune system, helping the body fight off infections and diseases. [31, 32, 33]  

Other Benefits: [34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40]  

• Parsley may help regulate blood sugar levels. 

• It has anti-inflammatory properties. 

• It may promote wound healing. 

• It may have anti-cancer effects, although more research is needed. 

Note: While parsley offers numerous health benefits, it is important to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Consult a healthcare professional before using parsley for medicinal purposes. [2, 41]

Alternative to bread crumbs

Yes, there are many alternatives for breadcrumbs for cooking. Options include nuts or seeds, rolled oats, crushed cereals like cornflakes, and finely grated cauliflower or riced cauliflower. These can be used for coatings, binders, or toppings, and can be processed to a desired texture using a food processor or by hand. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

For coatings 

• Crushed nuts or seeds: Finely chop or pulse almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or sesame seeds in a food processor to use as a coating for chicken, fish, or pork. [1, 4, 8]  

• Unsweetened cereals: Use crushed unsweetened cornflakes, Chex, or other plain cereals for a crispy crust. They can be crushed by hand in a bag with a rolling pin. [2, 5, 9]  

• Unsweetened coconut flakes: These can be toasted and used as a flavorful coating, especially for shrimp or fish. [6]  

For binding and texture 

• Rolled oats: Mix rolled oats into meatballs, veggie burgers, or meatloaf. They add fiber and have good binding properties. [2, 3, 10]  

• Ground flaxseed: This can be used as a binder and also adds nutrients. [6, 11, 12]  

• Crushed crackers: Crush savory crackers like saltines to use as a binder or a topping for casseroles. [6, 13]  

Gluten-free options 

• Riced or finely grated cauliflower: This is a grain-free option, but its high moisture content means it works best for coatings, not binding. [4, 11]  

• Almond meal or flour: This can be a good low-carb, gluten-free alternative for coatings and add a nutty flavor. [4, 14, 15, 16]  

• Quinoa flakes: These are a good source of protein and fiber for coatings on patties. [17]  

• Gluten-free crackers: A gluten-free version of crushed crackers can be used similarly to regular crackers. [14]

ACLU

The ACLU of Kansas can help Topeka residents combat government corruption through legal challenges, advocacy, and public education, particularly if the corruption involves violations of civil liberties or constitutional rights. The organization focuses on systemic issues rather than individual criminal cases or specific types of disputes like family law. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  

How the ACLU of Kansas can get involved • Impact litigation: The ACLU of Kansas uses lawsuits to address patterns of misconduct that affect many people, not just a single individual. If corruption in Topeka is leading to systemic violations—such as discriminatory practices, voter suppression, or infringements on First Amendment rights—the ACLU may be able to challenge those actions in court. 

• Lobbying and legislative advocacy: For problems requiring policy solutions, the ACLU lobbies the state legislature and works with partner organizations to advance legislation that protects civil liberties and holds officials accountable. 

• Public accountability: Before resorting to litigation, the ACLU may first send open letters to public officials to pressure them to address civil liberties issues. This approach can resolve problems without a court case. 

• Education: The ACLU has a "Know Your Rights" program to help citizens understand their constitutional protections when dealing with law enforcement and other government bodies. [1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8]  

How to request legal assistance from the ACLU of Kansas If you believe your civil liberties have been violated by government corruption, you can request legal assistance from the ACLU of Kansas by following these steps: 

1. Understand the criteria: The ACLU of Kansas generally only accepts cases that deal with state and federal constitutional matters, are likely to set a precedent that benefits many people, and don't seek monetary damages as the primary goal. 

2. Submit a complaint online: Fill out the legal intake form on the ACLU of Kansas website. Do not call or email to discuss your case, as the organization does not accept requests this way. 

3. Mail a complaint: Alternatively, you can mail your complaint to: 

 • ACLU of Kansas Legal Department 

 • PO Box 13048 

 • Overland Park, KS 66282 

4. Wait for a response: Due to the high volume of requests, the ACLU of Kansas cannot respond to all submissions. If they decide to take your case, they will contact you. [1, 9, 10, 11, 12]  

Alternative ways to fight government corruption The ACLU is not the only option for addressing government corruption in Topeka. Other avenues may be more suitable, depending on the specific issue: 

• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI): The FBI has a public corruption hotline for Kansas residents to report misconduct by public officials. The FBI prioritizes public corruption cases and relies on public tips. 

 • Hotline: 1-855-527-2847 (1-855-KCPCTIP) 

 • Email: KCPCTIP@ic.fbi.gov 

• Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission: The state's ethics commission provides advisory opinions and enforces campaign finance and ethics laws at the state level. However, its jurisdiction over local government conflicts of interest is limited to an advisory role, with enforcement left to county or district attorneys. 

• Kansas Attorney General's Office: You can file a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General's office for a variety of issues. 

• Department of Justice Civil Rights Division: For violations involving civil rights, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. 

• Local law enforcement agency: For complaints against a specific law enforcement agency, you can file a written complaint with the agency's internal affairs division. [13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]

Cinnamon

Dr. Gundry views cinnamon as a "superfood" with benefits like blood sugar regulation and its potential to help curb sugar intake by making foods taste sweeter. He notes that cinnamon is generally considered a safe addition to the diet, although those with autoimmune diseases should use it with caution and that it is a good choice for those avoiding certain ingredients. [1, 2, 3, 4]  

Dr. Gundry's key points on cinnamon 

• Blood sugar control: Cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, though it should not be relied on as a sole treatment. [1, 2]  

• Reducing sugar intake: Its sweet taste can help make foods seem sweeter, potentially leading people to use less sugar. [1]  

• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: Cinnamon is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that may offer protective benefits. [1, 5]  

• Lectin-free: It is one of the foods that are considered lectin-free, aligning with Dr. Gundry's dietary recommendations. [3]  

• Caution for some individuals: People with autoimmune diseases should use cinnamon cautiously, as some individuals may have a reaction to it. [2]
