Lawrence Arts Center welcomes new CEO

PUBLISHED SINCE 1891

BOARD OF REGENTS

Budget request seeks to PRESSING MATTERS restore cuts

By Joanna Hlavacek

jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Dozens of Lawrence Arts Center staffers, students and community members streamed in and out of the Arts Center’s main gallery Wednesday evening to send off departing CEO

Susan Tate in style.

But the event was just as much a welcoming party as it was a farewell. That evening, Joan Golden, chair of the Arts Center’s board of directors, introduced Kimberly Williams, the Lawrence native and former Chicagoan who as of this

week replaced Tate as CEO. Golden led the search for the Arts Center’s new leader earlier this year, ultimately selecting Williams, a KU alumna with experience in the arts and financial management, as Tate’s successor.

The Kansas Board of Regents agreed Wednesday to submit a budget request for next year that does not ask for any general increase in state funding, only a restoration of the 4 percent cuts that were ordered this year.

“Our priority is trying to get that 4 percent back,” Regents Chairwoman Zoe New ton said.

In May, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a final budget BOARD OF REGENTS bill that lawmakers had Inside: passed for University the new fis- leaders cal year that share began July 1. personal But because concerns of contin- about ued revenue guns on s h o r t f a l l s , campuses. he immedi- 3A ately had to order $97 million in cuts to that budget in order to make it balance.

Nearly a third of those cuts, $30.7 million, came from the Regents universities, including $7 million from the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, and $3.7 million from KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. “We are not unaware of the straits we are in as a state,” Newton said. “We obviously try to be sensitive, but also feel like we need to put out there what it is that we feel we need as a system, and then it’s really up to the Legislature and the governor to make those priority decisions.”

All state agencies submit budget requests to the governor’s office in the fall. The governor and his staff then will sift through those requests, accepting some and modifying others, as they put together the budget proposal that will be submitted to the Legislature in January.

Parks and Recreation planning to increase user fees

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Brownback is expected to submit a two-year budget proposal to the Legislature covering the fiscal years that end June 30, 2018 and 2019.

The Board of Regents had discussed its budget priorities during its annual retreat in Wichita in August. And although individual schools, including KU, mentioned certain “enhancement” projects they would like to have funded, those requests will only be included in a narrative portion of the document, not as part of the official numbers.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said there are two items on KU’s wish list this year: $1.3 million for a new program called the Jayhawk Success Academy, which would be geared toward helping low-income and first-generation college students succeed in their first year; and $10 million over two years to expand the medical education program at the KU School of Medicine in Wichita.

“This would be a bridge

created in 2000 and will include guidance for future development and ideas to fund new facilities and programs. As part of that process, the city contracted with consulting group GreenPlay LLC in February.

One methodology included in the draft plan is what GreenPlay calls a pyramid philosophy. Using that method, recreation programs and services are sorted into five levels according to how much the program or service benefits the community versus the individual. For each level, the department would determine what percent of the cost it wants the user fee to cover versus what percent it will subsidize.

“This will create a defendable formula that everybody would use to create fees,” Pat O’Toole, a principal with GreenPlay, told commissioners Tuesday. “And it doesn’t mean everything has to be 100 percent self-sufficient either.”

The Parks and Recreation Department currently subsidizes a significant portion of the cost of several programs, such as programming for seniors, entrance to the city’s aquatic centers and programming at the Prairie Park Nature Center. However, the amount of subsidies each program receives does not have a clear method, ranging from 35 percent for senior programming to 79 percent for nature center programming. Currently, there are also no entrance fees for the city’s various workout facilities.

The draft master plan calls for improvements and additions to programming such as activity offerings, as well as facilities. For facilities, renovation of both existing facilities and new amenities are being recommended. Eagle Bend Golf Course, Holcom Park Recreation Center and the Outdoor Aquatic Center each call for more than $1 million of im-

program where students would come over the summer, begin their college careers early, take one or two college-level (classes) and get a jump start on their academic careers,” Gray-Little said.

Another item mentioned in the document is a proposal to establish a new dental school at the KU Medical Center. That would require about $43 million in initial start-up costs, and ongoing state funding of about $6.5 million.

But neither the Regents nor Gray-Little indicated that they held out any serious hope that the state could afford to fund that project during this budget cycle.

“I think if the fiscal situation were different, all of the universities would have had more substantial requests,” Gray-Little said. “We are trying to be cognizant of and sensitive to the situation the state is in financially, and (we) know that even with a change or turnaround, it’s going to take at least a year or two to start seeing additional funds.”

Nearly an inch of rain recorded in Lawrence Staff Reports

Lawrence received just shy of an inch of rain Wednesday morning, but missed a deluge that fell about 75 miles to the north.

Bryan Baerg, with the National Weather Service in Topeka, said 0.97 inches of rain were recorded between midnight and 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

With Wednesday’s rain, Lawrence has officially received 27.61 inches of precipitation in

2016. Baerg said that was 2.44 inches less than what is normal for this date.

The shortfall speaks to the very dry conditions of the winter and early spring, he said.

Rain is in the forecast for today and Friday with the best chances for rain being tonight into Friday morning, Baerg said.

The near inch of rain that fell in Lawrence paled in comparison to the 8 inches reported in Brown County near Hiawatha, Baerg said.

“It just missed us,” he said, adding that parts of

“It doesn’t take much,” their teacher, Kendra Luna, says with a knowing smile.

She might not be amazed on this particular day, but then again, she’s seen the process countless times before. For more than two decades, Luna’s parents, Joyce and Melvin Williams, have journeyed from their cattle ranch north of Lawrence one day a year to share their apple cider-making tricks with Sunset Hill students.

Lane Luna, an eighth grader at nearby West Middle School, took a break from classes to lend a hand setting up the Williams’ apple press, an antique-looking contraption that relies on the manual turning of a crank to grind apples into cider.

Lane’s younger brother Anthony didn’t need a parents’ note to join the fun. His mom is also his teacher at Sunset Hill.

“We enjoy the kids,” Joyce says of why she and her husband have kept the tradition alive all these years. But her grandchildren — Anthony, at six, is the youngest — are growing up.

At 75 and 79, she and Melvin are getting older, too. That’s why today’s demonstration, she expects, will likely be their last at Sunset Hill.

Around 6:20 p.m., Diana Laird, 61, was driving in the 900 block of North 1000 Road, southeast of Clinton Lake, said Sgt. Kristen Dymacek. For an unknown reason, Laird’s car left the roadway and came to rest in a nearby creek.

provements. Other highdollar projects include an outdoor amphitheater, adventure park and outdoor sports complex. All projects are sorted into short, medium and longterm need.

“For a 10-year plan, I think the goal is to pick these recommendations off as you can afford them,” O’Toole said.

In addition to fees, the plan includes several other potential sources of funding, such as the guest tax, sales tax, voluntary contributions and bond referendum for larger projects. Which of those options will be pursued will be the subject of future study, Larsen said.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that staff will look at how other cities do it, then we’ll bring that all back and again have that conversation with the community,” Larsen said. “We’re not going to make any decisions out of a black box.”

As part of the master planning process, residents were surveyed about what facilities and programs they would like to see and how they would like them to be funded.

Those surveyed most supported using a portion of the transient guest tax, the 6 percent tax the city collects on all overnight hotel stays. The second-most supported funding idea was to ask Lawrence residents to voluntarily round up their utility bills to the next dollar.

At their meeting Tuesday, city commissioners indicated they would review and make comments on the draft before it is referred back to the Master Plan Steering Committee.

For the public, the Parks and Recreation Department is accepting comments on the draft plan through Sept. 20. A draft of the plan is available for review on the city’s website. Residents can submit comments via email at parksrec@lawrenceks. org, by calling 832-3450 or by visiting the Parks and Recreation Administrative Office in South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St.

Funding for the extra officers on patrol is provided by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The department plans for a total of seven saturation patrols this year.

Officers will perform field sobriety tests on motorists who are stopped during the patrol, and they will be looking for signs of alcohol and drug consumption, the department’s news release said.

The police department does not disclose the location of the patrols.

University leaders air personal worries about campus carry

18 students named National Merit semifinalists

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — The heads of some of the state universities in Kansas are saying that when a new law takes effect next year requiring them to allow concealed handguns on campus, one group of people will be affected on a very personal level: themselves.

That’s because most university presidents live in homes on campus that are owned by their universities specifically for that purpose. And that makes their homes “public buildings” that are arguably subject to the mandatory concealed carry law.

All of the students attend Free State High School with the exception of Reed-Weston, who attends Lawrence High School.

Out of the 1.5 million students nationwide who take the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, some 16,000 qualify as semifinalists, according to information shared by the Lawrence district. Semifinalists represent the highestscoring entrants in each state, and will have the chance to compete for roughly 7,500 National Merit scholarships worth about $33 million that will be offered next spring.

In the wake of a recent nepotism complaint filed against Venida Chenault, the president of Haskell Indian Nations University, Chenault’s son is no longer the acting dean of students at the school.

An email obtained by the Lawrence JournalWorld states that as of Sept. 1, Joshua Arce, Chenault’s son, is no longer “acting” dean of students.

The email was sent to 12 university employees on Monday. It says that Janet White and Tonia Salvini will take over Arce’s former responsibilities.

Salvini is Haskell’s vice president of university services, and White is listed on the university’s website as a program support assistant.

In the spring of this year, Theresa Milk, a professor of American Indian Studies, said she filed a nepotism complaint with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of the Inspector General.

Milk said federal policy requires two levels of supervisory separation between family members who work at the university. That gap, she said, does not exist between Chenault and Arce.

FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT MIRTA MARTIN, RIGHT, AND WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT JOHN BARDO say a state law going into effect next year requiring universities to allow concealed weapons in all campus buildings will apply to their official residences, which are owned by their universities.

Carry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“Our general counsel has asked several times, and we are not exempt,” Fort Hays State University President Mirta Martin said Wednesday.

“I live in a university house. The first floor is a public space. Anyone can walk into my house carrying a gun,” she said.

Martin spoke up during a meeting of the Kansas Board of Regents’ Council of Presidents, a group comprising the leaders of the state’s six Regents universities.

In 2013, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill that lawmakers passed that year requiring that concealed carry of handguns be allowed in all publicly owned buildings unless the owners of those buildings provide adequate security to prevent anyone from bringing weapons into it.

K-12 public school buildings were exempted from that law entirely.

But cities, counties and public colleges and universities were allowed to exempt themselves for only four years, giving them time to develop plans to either provide that security or develop policies allowing concealed carry.

That four-year exemption ends July 1, 2017.

Board of Regents officials said Wednesday that all six universities have developed “first drafts” of their policies. Final versions of those policies will be reviewed during the Regents’ monthly meetings in October and November.

Some university officials had hoped that the process of writing and discussing those policies would help alleviate the concerns that many have expressed over allowing guns on campus. But Wichita State University

“

No, I don’t think (writing weapons policies has) changed anyone’s minds at all. The resistance that was there before is still there, and it may be heightened.”

— Wichita State University President John Bardo

President John Bardo said that so far that hasn’t happened.

“No, I don’t think it’s changed anyone’s minds at all,” he said. “The resistance that was there before is still there, and it may be heightened.”

Bardo said the “vast majority” of people on the WSU campus do not support concealed carry on campus. “There are worries about accidental shootings, and people having access to guns who are distraught,” he said.

And while it’s not his biggest concern, Bardo said that he too lives in a university-owned home, and he’s not comfortable with the idea of being required by law to allow people to bring concealed handguns into his home.

“That’s a concern to me, but not as great a concern as the rest of the campus,” Bardo said.

At Fort Hays State, however, Martin said the culture on campus has always been more relaxed.

Students and the general public have always had easy access into the home of the university president.

“Because I live in a public residence, and I’m thankful to do so, I need to allow it,” Martin said.

“But the concern that I have is, I’m often alone at night. The students know that they can come and visit me. That’s part of who we are as an institution, that familiarity.

Students will come in my house at 11:30 at night, and they do. And they’re welcome. They’re encouraged if I’m home. So opening the door and not knowing … ” Martin paused at that point and didn’t finish the sentence.

Advisory Committee on Thursday, September

It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday how many of the homes are owned directly by the universities or the state and how many were actually held by independent foundations or endowment associations.

On the KU campus, the official chancellor’s residence, known as the Outlook, is owned by the state, university officials said.

“While it is owned by the university, the Outlook was donated specifically to be used as the chancellor’s private residence and is treated as such,” KU spokesman Tim Caboni said. “The house is never open to the general public.”

Information on KU’s website indicates that the home now occupied by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little was originally built by a wealthy Lawrence banker, Jabez B. Watkins, who died in 1921. His wife, Elizabeth Miller Watkins, continued to live there until her death in 1932, and she left the house to the university in her will.

When Milk filed her complaint, Arce was working as both the school’s chief information officer and the acting dean of students.

According to the Bureau of Indian Education’s policies, relatives must have a “minimum of two intervening levels of supervision within the chain of command to show clear separation.”

In addition, the policy also states public officials shall not unfairly favor relatives for a position over other candidates.

Wednesday morning, Steven Prue, executive assistant in Chenault’s office, confirmed that Arce is no longer acting dean of students and said Salvini had taken his place.

Helpful gift Foundation’s generous donation will provide much-needed internet access to kids who don’t have it.

T

he Lawrence Schools Foundation is to be commended for working to solve the connectivity gap among Lawrence school children.

The foundation awarded $39,000 to the district Monday to be used to purchase 200 Kajeet devices that can be used by students to access the Internet appropriately. The 200 devices will add to the 120 the district already has.

The devices are provided as needed to district students without internet access at home. Based on a survey conducted last spring, the district estimates that some 400 secondary middle and high school students in Lawrence fall into that category.

The Kajeet SmartSpot allows students to connect to a high-speed 4G network, either Verizon or Sprint. According to Kajeet, “any Wi-Fi compatible device they use is filtered specifically for school assignment use; inappropriate and noneducation content is filtered and cannot be accessed.” Up to 10 individuals can be connected to the Kajeet SmartSpot at one time.

Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of technology and innovation, said the contribution marks an important step in the progress of the district’s digital equity goals, allowing all students to access digital textbooks and relevant educational information from home.

Kemble said providing Wi-Fi access goes beyond helping students. “When we put internet in the home, we’re not only affecting one student — we’re affecting an entire family,” she said.

As of the 2015-2016 school year, more than 90 percent of students districtwide — or about 10,000 students — were enrolled in one or more classes that rely on a digital textbook. The district began a pilot program last year with the 120 hot spot devices for students at Lawrence High School and Free State High School. Wait lists for the devices were consistently long.

The district is right to increasingly use technology to enhance education delivery. Digital textbooks, online assignments, internet-based lectures and online homework submissions are standard practice at most educational institutions, especially at the post-secondary level.

Finding innovative ways to use technology while ensuring all students have access to the technology is the best way to prepare students for the future. The Lawrence Schools Foundation’s gift addresses that challenge.

American protest is an act of faith It keeps getting bigger.

One might have expected last month’s protest by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, his refusal to stand for the national anthem, to have blown over by now. Instead, it has caught fire. Sunday, members of the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs all staged protests of their own.

This was in addition to earlier protests by soccer star Megan Rapinoe and members of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. There have even been reports of the phenomenon spreading to high school and college games.

All of this in support of Kaepernick, who said, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” Apparently, he’s struck a nerve.

For the record, yes, I do stand when the anthem is played. But I don’t do it for America. America breaks my heart on a daily basis.

So, I stand for what America is supposed to be, what America could be if it ever took seriously its founding principles, including that “self-evident” truth about

“

I stand for what America is supposed to be, what America could be if it ever took seriously its founding principles, including that ‘self-evident’ truth about equality.” equality. But America has yet to do that, and Kaepernick is hardly the first person to notice.

On the last night of his life, Martin Luther King said: “All we say to America is, be true to what you said on paper.”

In a poem, Langston Hughes complained: “America never was America to me.”

Kaepernick is not even the first athlete to snub the rituals of American patriotism.

“I cannot stand and sing the

anthem,” a baseball player once wrote. “I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world.”

The man’s name was Jackie Robinson.

Point being, I have no quarrel with Kaepernick.

Others, do. The internet is awash in videos of his burning jersey. Wayne Newton said on Fox that if Kaepernick doesn’t like it here, “Get the hell out.” Various memes juxtapose his image with those of wounded and dead military personnel.

And Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh have suggested Kaepernick has no right to protest racism because he’s wealthy — as if wealth provides some magic protection from getting pulled over for DWB. It does not. Indeed, the very fact that Kaepernick feels estranged from a country that has afforded him material success should induce thoughtful observers to wonder how that could be. Instead, we get lectures from blowhards on how rich and ungrateful Kaepernick is.

The thing is, people like them get indignant when anger over racial oppression expresses itself in street violence. Now we see they also

get indignant when it expresses itself peacefully.

Which suggests their complaint is less about the form of protest than the fact of protest. Apparently, those who live with injustice are expected to quietly grin and bear it so the likes of Carlson and Limbaugh are not troubled by uncomfortable truths.

That’s not going to happen.

Ultimately, American protest is not just a right, nor even an obligation. No, it is an act of faith, an expression of the belief that a country founded on that great, selfevident truth can do — and be — better. That’s the faith that has undergirded African-American struggle for centuries, the thing that has allowed us to support a country that would not support us, defend a country that would not defend us, love a country that did not love us.

And it is the reason people affronted by the form — and fact — of Kaepernick’s protest have framed the issue exactly wrong. This is not about whether Kaepernick will stand up for America.

No, this is about whether America will finally stand up for him.

TODAY IN HISTORY l On Sept. 15, 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.

President Putin’s post-factual politics “In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. ...

Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building. ...

For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes.”

— George Orwell, “1984”

Washington — Documents inconvenient to the regime went into the Ministry of Truth’s slits and down to “enormous furnaces.”

Modern tyrannies depend on state control of national memories — retroactive truths established by government fiat. Which is why Russia’s Supreme Court recently upheld the conviction of a blogger for violating Article 354.1 of Russia’s criminal code.

This May 2014 provision criminalizes the “Rehabilitation of Nazism.” The blogger’s crime was to write: “The communists and Germany jointly invaded Poland, sparking off the Second World War.” The secret protocols of the MolotovRibbentrop Pact have gone down one of Vladimir Putin’s memory holes.

The pact was signed Aug. 23, 1939. On Sept. 1, Germany invaded Poland. Sixteen days later, the Soviet Union invaded from the east. Poland was carved up in accordance with the secret protocols, and about six months later Soviet occupiers were conducting the Katyn Forest Massacre of 25,700 Polish military officers, officials, priests and intellectuals.

Although in 2009 Putin denounced the pact as “collusion to solve one’s prob-

lems at others’ expense,” in 2015 he defended it as Stalin’s means of buying time to prepare for the Nazi onslaught. This fable is refuted by, among other facts, this: Stalin did not prepare. When Germany’s ambassador in Moscow informed Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov that their nations were now at war, a stunned Molotov asked, “What have we done to deserve this?”

The Russian Supreme Court’s Orwellian ruling was that the blogger denied facts established by the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal. It convicted leading Nazis of waging aggressive war against, among others, Poland, but, in an act of victors’ justice, made no judgment against the Soviet regime, representatives of which sat on the tribunal. This accommodation to postwar political reality was necessary to enable the

tribunal to function, which was necessary for civilizing vengeance. The tribunal ignored, but did not deny, the patent fact of Soviet aggression.

The Russian court’s ruling is a window into the sinister continuity of Putin’s Russia and the Soviet system that incubated him.

So, if the former secretary of state who aspires to the American presidency has time to read a book before Jan. 20, she should make it “The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin” by Steven Lee Myers of The New York Times. It is a study of the volatile nostalgia of a man seething with resentments acquired as a KGB operative — a “devoted officer of a dying empire” — during the Soviet Union’s final years. It is a pointillist portrait painted with telling details that should cause sobriety to supplant dreams of happy policy “resets” with Russia: As a senior security official in post-Soviet Russia, Putin kept on his desk a bronze statue of “Iron Felix” Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Soviet secret police and terror apparatus. At Putin’s May 7, 2000, presidential inauguration, a choir sang a composition “written in 1836 to celebrate a soldier’s death in the war against Poland and rewritten in Soviet times ... to remove the homage to the tsar. For Putin, the choir sang the Soviet verses.” There was the 2006 assassination in Moscow, on Putin’s 54th birthday, of the troublesome journalist Anna Politkovskaya. (Asked

about the frequent deaths of anti-Putin journalists, Donald Trump breezily said, “I think our country does plenty of killing.”) And the 2006 poisoning in London of Putin’s antagonist Alexander Litvinenko using radioactive polonium-210.

Domestically, Putin’s “managed democracy” is Stalinism leavened by kleptomania, as in the looting of the energy giant Yukos. In foreign policy, Putin’s Russia is unambiguously and unapologetically revanchist.

The Soviet Union was likened to a burglar creeping down a hotel corridor until he finds an unlocked door.

Putin, who found Crimea unlocked (when he honeymooned there in 1983, it seemed “a magical, sacred place to him,” writes Myers), is pushing on the door of what remains of Ukraine.

The Democratic presidential nominee fundamentally misread Putin’s thugocracy, and her opponent admires the thug because “at least he’s a leader.” As the Russian blogger’s fate demonstrates, Putin practices what Orwell wrote: “‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”

Back in the day, some analysts prophesied a “convergence” between the Soviet Union and the United States, two industrial societies becoming more alike.

In our day, there is indeed a growing similarity: In both places, post-factual politics are normal.

“Susan, over the last seven years, has brought the Lawrence Arts Center to a whole different plane,” Golden said Wednesday. “With her retirement and the hiring of Kimberly coming back to her own community with such a broad background in various areas, I think the board is very excited to see what the next chapter is for the Lawrence Arts Center.”

Tate, who joined the Lawrence Arts Center as CEO in 2009, is retiring from the role to focus on her family’s business interests. She plans to remain involved with the Arts Center as a consultant, working with major donors and on outside ventures such as the Free State Festival and the East Ninth Project.

It’s been “an exhilarating seven years” at the Arts Center, said Tate, who in her time there has overseen the development of the nationally recognized STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) program as well as the expansion of the Arts Center’s artist-in-residence and visiting artists programs.

Under her leadership, the Arts Center has won prestigious grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, ArtPlace America, the William T. Kemper Foundation and the William Randolph Hearst Foundations.

Sitting to her left at the table, volunteer Tom Groene said he and his wife, Gaye, were there because volunteerism was part of the rent they paid for living in the community.

“If a person is doing business in Lawrence, you’re going to be very involved in volunteer work,” he said.

The volunteers made their way to CASA after being treated to lunch during the annual United Way campaign kickoff at the Carnegie Building. After that event wrapped up, Colleen Gregoire, United Way vice president of resource development, said the agency was very appreciative of seasoned volunteers like those who spent Wednesday afternoon at CASA, but wanted

to recruit more volunteers and donors.

“Really that’s the focus of the campaign this year,” she said. “We really would like to focus on getting more participation in the campaign than reaching a financial goal.”

Nonetheless, Gregoire said a figure that this year’s campaign co-chairs, Bonnie and Jamie Lowe, shared at the kickoff was “basically” the goal of the campaign. During their presentation — which included accounts of how local United Way agencies made a difference in the lives of county residents through educational opportunities, health care and financial stability — the Lowes said $1.7 million was needed to fund in the next year the more than 40 programs that the agency’s 28 community partners provide. That would be an increase from the $1.5 million raised in the 2015 campaign.

“You can trust every

dollar will be spent in the community,” Bonnie Lowe said. “United Way has a four-star rating by Charity Navigator, the highest rating that can be achieved.”

Gregoire said those local dollars were increasingly vital.

“The United Way’s mission is more critical as state and federal funding support for our community partners dries up,” she said. “Some of them depend almost solely on the campaign for funding.”

A number of local campaign events will take place in the coming months. The first fundraising event of note will be an Oct. 8 Kick Out Poverty Kickball Tournament at Holcom Park.

Scientists learn why Mordor blemishes moon near Pluto Charon snares bits of dwarf’s atmosphere Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

On the outskirts of the solar system lies an icy little moon called Charon with a mysterious blemish: a great dark blotch that in some photos is the color of a dried bloodstain.

First observed last year, the blotch earned the nickname Mordor, after J.R.R. Tolkien’s forbidding “dark land” in The Lord of the Rings, and launched much

speculation. Now scientists think they know why it’s there.

Researchers say in this week’s Nature that Mordor was born of material purloined from the nearby dwarf planet Pluto. As Pluto’s atmosphere drifts into space, some of the escaping molecules are captured by Charon and eventually transformed into dark-red chemicals — a phenomenon seen nowhere else in the solar system, says Laurence Trafton, an astronomer at the University of Texas-Austin who was not involved with the study.

The mystery of Mordor began last year, when the New Horizons spacecraft became humanity’s

first ambassador to Pluto. Before New Horizon’s flyby, telescopes had captured only the fuzziest images of the dwarf planet and its moons.

As the spacecraft approached its target, scientists saw “this persistent dark spot at the top of Charon … (that) never went away,” recalls Will Grundy, study co-author and a planetary scientist at Arizona’s Lowell Observatory. “We were all scratching our heads.”

Perhaps the dark blotch stemmed from the same geological events that carved out Charon’s ridges and canyons. Or perhaps Mordor formed from

chemicals from Pluto that became trapped on Charon’s icy surface.

To help settle the matter, Grundy and his colleagues calculated the temperature on Charon during the moon’s long, dark winter.

They found Charon’s north pole stays “ridiculously cold” for decades, Grundy says — about -415 degrees Fahrenheit or below from the mid-1800s to the late 1980s.

That’s cold enough, and for long enough, for molecules that drift away from Pluto’s atmosphere to freeze onto Charon’s north pole.

CHICAGO The life and tragic death of Elijah Sims is a story that stretches over several city and suburban blocks that bisect two very different worlds in Chicagoland.

Elijah, who was just two days shy of his 17th birthday when he was gunned down on a Chicago street on Aug. 29, is just one of more than 500 homicide victims killed in the city this year, one of the bloodiest the city has seen since the drug wars of the 1990s.

There has been no shortage of innocent lives lost during Chicago’s violent summer, during a crime surge that city officials blame on increased gang activity and gun laws that are feckless when it comes to deterring repeat offenders from arming themselves.

But the killing of Elijah, whose family made the decision to leave their crime-plagued neighborhood for greener and safer pastures, is among the most heartbreaking.

More than two years ago,

Sharita Galloway decided to move from Chicago’s Austin neighborhood for the sake of her children, taking them from one of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods to the leafy, neighboring village of Oak Park.

“Moving was about making a choice,” Walter Sims told me after his younger brother’s funeral service last week. “It was about putting us in a good school and not having to worry about the extra stuff.”

With about 98,000 residents, Austin is still one of the biggest neighborhoods in the city. But in the aftermath of the riots of the late 1960s on the city’s West Side, the neighborhood was decimated by white flight and the loss of jobs and businesses.

Poverty skyrocketed, schools foundered and drug-dealing and gang activity have festered for years. As violence has soared in predominantly black neighborhoods on Chicago’s South and West Sides, Austin has become arguably Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhood, with nearly 60 homicides this year alone.

In contrast, the suburb of Oak Park, which borders the northern edge of Austin, seems like it could be a million miles from the troubles plaguing Austin.

The town’s public high school,

which Elijah and Walter attended, is one of the best in the state.

The village of 52,000 — which was once home to author Ernest Hemingway and architect Frank Lloyd Wright — recorded its last homicide in 2011, and last year had its lowest crime rate since it started compiling stats in the 1970s.

Oak Park residents love their quaint downtown and arts district. They flock to the Saturday farmers market to buy the Pilgrim Congregational Church’s famous doughnuts.

The Rev. Marshall Hatch, a civil rights activist based in Austin, recalled that after an off-du-

ty Chicago police officer was killed in a 2011 robbery on the Chicago side of the Austin-Oak Park border, some residents darkly observed that even the bullets know to stop at the city’s edge.

“There’s such a stark contrast between the two communities, such an abrupt demarcation of the cultures of life and death,” Hatch said.

Elijah had just started his senior year at Oak Park-River Forest High School when he was fatally shot in the head while standing on the street with other young men in his old neighborhood.

Police said it was not clear who was targeted in the shooting, but that neither Elijah nor another teen who was seriously wounded in the incident had gang ties.

In fact, Elijah appeared to be thriving. He was proud that he was earning money at a parttime job at a grocery store in Oak Park.

He had set his ambitions on becoming a nurse. His family said he was looking forward to taking his girlfriend to the senior prom at the end of the school year.

But Elijah didn’t forget his old neighborhood. He maintained friendships that went back to

childhood and regularly made the blocks-long journey to hang out back in Austin.

His mom told me she worried about him spending time in Austin but knew that forbidding her teen from a community that was the foundation of much of his life was inviting defiance.

Instead, Galloway cajoled him to respect his 11 p.m. summer curfew, a parenting strategy that seemed to be working. On the night Elijah was killed, she said she had reminded him again to be home on time, and he promised he would. Police would receive the call of his shooting at 10:11 p.m.

During his eulogy for the teen, the Rev. Ira Acree reminded the hundreds from the Austin community who gathered, that with Elijah’s death they lost a young man who was well on his way to becoming somebody special.

The only way to honor Elijah was to make fundamental changes to end the culture of violence in neighborhoods like Austin.

“There is power in the blood of the innocent,” Acree intoned.

We can only hope that Chicago can discover this strength.

“These decisions certainly demonstrate the critical importance of having a Democrat in the White House,” says Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice. “These laws are transparent in intent, to harass and suppress the vote in states across the country.”

In states where Obama’s judges have had less influence in voting rights cases — such as Ohio and Virginia — courts have left restrictions on voting in place.

The legal skirmishes, still playing out in many states, will have far more influence in deciding who wins the White House than the public opinion polls that command far more attention.

They will determine the rules for the election in key battleground states, along with others far from the presidential candidates’ radar, such as Kansas and North Dakota.

Civil rights groups fighting the state laws in court say their winning record stems from proving that photo ID laws and other limits discriminate — sometimes intentionally — against minority voters.

“I don’t think this can be attributed to the fact that Obama’s been appointing judges for the last seven and a half years,” says Dale Ho, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s voting Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

CHANGING FEDERAL JUDICIARY As President Obama completes his eighth year in office, his judicial nominees have changed the makeup of federal appeals courts.

Democratic appointed Republican appointed

September 2016

President Obama nominates judges to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 2013.

rights project.

But Nicholas Stephanopoulos, an assistant professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School specializing in elections and voting rights, says judges tend to view the cases “through ideological and partisan prisms.”

At the federal appeals court level, those prisms have shifted left since Obama came to office.

While only one federal circuit court had a majority of judges named by Democratic presidents in January 2009, nine do now.

The percentage of appellate judges named by Democrats has risen from 39% to 55% during that period.

So far this year, judges nominated by Obama and Bill Clinton have sided with civil rights groups and Democratic lawyers every time. Those named by Republican presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush have split their votes. uIn North Carolina, the nation’s most far-reaching set of voting restrictions was upheld by a Republican-named district court judge before being struck down by a three-judge, all-Democratic panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. That court had four judges appointed

by Democrats when Obama came to office in 2009; it now has nine. uIn Texas, a district court judge named by Obama struck down the country’s strictest photo ID law. The customarily conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed by a 9-6 vote, with all five Democratic nominees in the majority. In 2009, the court had 13 judges named by Republicans, four by Democrats. uMichigan’s effort to eliminate straight-ticket voting, used more often by African-American voters than others, was blocked in federal district court by an Obama nominee and in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals by an all-Democratic, three-judge panel. uDistrict court judges named

by Obama and Clinton in Wisconsin ruled against separate elements of that state’s voting restrictions. One of the rulings was overturned by an all-Republican panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

uIn Ohio, a district court judge named by George W. Bush agreed with voting rights advocates that the state’s elimination of “Golden Week” — when voters were able to register and vote together — was discriminatory. But a 6th Circuit panel voted 2-1 along party lines to restore the restriction, and the Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block it from taking effect. uIn Virginia, where a Republican-nominated district court judge upheld the state’s photo ID law, a panel of the 4th Circuit appeals court is scheduled to hear the case next week.

As was the case in Texas, voting restrictions in Kansas and North Dakota have been turned aside with the help of Republican-appointed judges.

Both those states nevertheless are considered solidly Republican in November.

In Arizona, Democrats are challenging the state’s rules for collecting absentee ballots and counting votes cast in the wrong precinct.

A settlement was reached with Maricopa County regarding the number of polling places needed in November to reduce the risk of long lines that marred the state’s March primary.

And in Georgia, a coalition of civil rights groups went to court Wednesday challenging the state’s voter registration rules.

The Supreme Court itself is partly responsible for many of the state legal skirmishes. In 2013, it struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act that had required states with a history of discrimination to get federal permission before changing voting procedures.

The court’s rulings on a stateby-state basis merely settle what rules will be in place for the upcoming election; the full cases continue to be fought out.

This year, the justices have ruled against restrictions in North Carolina and Michigan while upholding Ohio’s. In 2014, they let restrictions stand in North Carolina, Ohio and Texas, while blocking them in Wisconsin.

year. “We all recognize there is a huge problem in Mexico. So we have to address it as a nation. The UAW cannot do it alone. We are not naive.”

Average autoworker wages in Mexico are set at a fraction of their U.S. counterparts. Mexico allows automakers to reduce their costs enough that they can still make a profit on smaller cars sold in the USA. Ford isn’t alone. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said this year it will end production of all cars in the USA by the end of this year as it discontinues production of the Dodge Dart in Belvidere, Ill., and the Chrysler 200 in Sterling Heights, Mich.

In recent years, automakers that include General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Mazda,

Toyota and Volkswagen have all announced plans to either expand plants or build ones in Mexico.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has said it is considering an expansion of its production there.

Mexico has seen a 40% increase in auto jobs since 2008 to 675,000 last year while the USA saw a 15% increase in the same period to more than 900,000, according to the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor.

Low gas prices have Americans preferring larger vehicles, especially pickups, higher-riding SUVs and crossover vehicles for their personal use.

Those vehicles carry much higher profit margins than small vehicles do.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Stocks are undergoing a rocky patch, prompting the question: When does the recent price decline beget steeper declines?

For an answer, USA TODAY turned to a Wall Street analyst who identifies market trends by the price action and chart patterns of the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index. Mark Arbeter, president of Arbeter Investments and former technical analyst at S&P, says the first level of important support — or price floor — for the S&P 500 (which closed Wednesday at 2,125.77, or 2.9% off its Aug. 15 high) is 2,120.

Why is 2,120 so important?

“It was the recent intraday low on Monday and Tuesday,” Arbeter explains, adding it also

Market “technicians” like to see stocks stop going down at “support” levels that found buyers in the past. But just because the first level of support is broken, it doesn’t spell doom.

The next S&P 500 support level to watch is 2,105, which represents an intermediate trend line avg.: 0.18in that dates to5-day the market lows avg.: 7.14 February.

That level is 2,060. A decisive drop below that long-term price floor suggests the upward trend has been broken.

But so far, the market has suffered “very, very minor technical damage,” Arbeter says.

UPS, retailers to hire thousands of temps for holidays Employers getting serious about filling seasonal jobs Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

The holidays are barely in sight, but seasonal hiring is about to go into high gear.

Whether it’s dealing with throngs of shoppers or delivering packages to thousands of homes, those businesses that ramp up at the end of the year are talking big

numbers when it comes to jobs. uUnited Parcel Service.

The package delivery giant said Wednesday it plans to bring roughly 95,000 workers on board to handle and help deliver all the toys, trinkets and other packages that will start shipping in November and on into the new year. uToys R Us. The toy retail chain says it is now accepting applications to fill thousands of part-time positions at its stores and distribution facilities. Additionally, it will hold two national hiring days at those locations

Oct. 10 and Nov. 11. uTarget. The mass merchandiser says it plans to hire 70,000 holiday workers for its stores and 7,500 seasonal workers to help in its distribution and fulfillment

centers. For the first time, Target will have hiring events at all its stores Oct. 14-15.

With the national unemployment rate at 4.9%, employers will be watching nervously to see if they can fill those slots.

“There’s not a better time to be part of our company,” Tim Grace, global chief talent officer with Toys ‘R’ Us, said in a statement.

“We’re ready to kick off our annual holiday hiring process and need lots of great people for various positions on all shifts across the country,” Myron Gray, presi-

dent of UPS’ U.S. Operations, said in a statement.

Many of the jobs will entail driving or handling packages and will be both part-time and fulltime. UPS officials noted the seasonal jobs could lead to permanent opportunities.

“For many it’s an opportunity to earn some extra cash for the holidays,” UPS CEO David Abney said in the statement. “But ... it can also be a gateway to a career.”

Abney started at the package delivery company, loading trucks part time, as a college student.

Dear Annie: I have an etiquette question for you. My co-worker and I are disagreeing on this, and we have decided to accept your answer as the proper way to behave in this situation.

At most larger grocery chains, there are now express lines or selfcheckout lines for those individuals who either are in a hurry or want to process their checkout themselves.

More times than not, I have a full grocery cart and I stand in line and wait for the next cashier to check me out. More times than I can count, an individual comes behind me with a few items and begins to pace and sometimes makes verbal huffing noises in an effort to go ahead of me.

My feeling on this situation can vary. If I am not in a big hurry and I see someone with one or two

15th season for ‘Project Runway’ It has been said of TV shows and TV personalities: “The longer you’re on, the longer you’re on.”

The fall season brings a host of new and newish series that come and go rather quickly. But those that stick around tend to endure. And in the cable reality business, longevity can approach infinity.

Which brings us around to the 15th season premiere of “Project Runway” (7 p.m., Lifetime, TVPG).

I was impressed with this series when it began.

Tim Gunn brought an avuncular, professorial vibe.

He could say more, and teach more, with a raised eyebrow than a million profane tantrums from Gordon Ramsay. I knew nothing, and cared less, about fashion, but found the creativity of the contestants compelling. Entertaining. Inspiring, even.

But at the end of the day this is a reality competition, with all of the repetitive, fake and formulaic elements that the genre requires. I don’t think I’ve watched an entire episode since the season when Christian Siriano won. That was the fourth season. Have I missed anything? Has anything changed?

Should I care?

For those who do, the first episode of “Runway” introduces the new batch of contestants.

The sewing and stitching follow (8 p.m., TV-PG).

Unlike many reality series, say, “America’s Next Top Model,” the graduates of “Runway” have gone on to have actual careers. Siriano designed the dress that first lady Michelle Obama wore to the Democratic National Convention in July.

One of the secrets to the success and longevity of series like “Runway” is their repeatability and availability to viewers. Like controlled substances, some cable series are habit forming. “Runway” wasn’t terribly popular when it debuted on Bravo. But when the network devoted whole weekends to “Runway” repeats, viewers got hooked.

Networks have a harder time getting viewers’ attention. It’s particularly difficult when sports schedules upend audience habits. CBS’ regular Thursday night comedies have given way to NFL “Thursday Night Football” (7 p.m.). But CBS only has rights to the first half of the football season.

Comedy returns on Oct. 27, when football fans will have to migrate to the NFL Network for their football fix. Got that?

Tonight’s other highlights

“Craft in America” (8 p.m.,

PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) enters its eighth season.

Teresa struggles to escape and help Guero on the season finale of “Queen of the South” (10 p.m., USA, TV-14).

Sam deals with several issues unique to females on “Better Things” (10 p.m., FX, TVMA).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 15: Others in your life often challenge you. Fatigue marks your routine. If you are single, you will meet people with ease, but the person you choose today might not feel right to you in a year. If you are attached, refuse to challenge each other’s ideas, and instead learn to respect them.

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) Pressure builds around a daily matter. Be more aware of your emotional needs, which come through only occasionally. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might feel pulled in two different directions. You can juggle what very few can. Tonight: Hang out with loved ones.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your public persona becomes more important than other areas of your life. Tonight: Do what feels right.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone who often inspires you. You can and will make an adjustment, if need be. Tonight: Kick back and test your theory on several friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You often make an extraordinary effort to work with others, specifically one person. Tonight: Choose a favorite hobby.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone will inspire you

publish this letter so other short men can write in.

— Sick and Tired Dear Sick: Great things come in all-sized packages. Also cliched but true: It’s what’s inside that counts. You are not your height, your weight, your face or even your age.

You’re not defined by any physical attribute. What matters is your heart — your compassion and love — something these asinine bullies are seriously short on.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can only hurt you if you let them. So don’t.

Refuse to give them that power. Remember this, which Eleanor Roosevelt said: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

— Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

to take the next step. Be careful not to put this person on a pedestal, as he or she is likely to fall off at some point.

Tonight: Be open to a loved one’s suggestion.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Refuse to make a problem where there is none. Your smiling way draws many people toward you.

Tonight: Think carefully about your actions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be tired of pursuing the same path without getting the results you’d expected. Stop and reassess your path. Tonight: Out late.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds around an issue involving your personal life.

Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might decide to change direction, which would surprise those who are part of your daily life. Tonight: At home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone at a distance who can affect your thought process. Tonight: Treat a friend to munchies.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are all smiles as you look at what your choices are. A loved one might be set on having his or her way. Tonight: Decide what you want; others will follow.

KU in Class of 2017 recruit’s Final 5

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

To Beatles fans, Billy Preston is the unheralded, jovial piano player who tickled the keys on several tracks on the Let It Be and Abbey Road albums.

To Kansas basketball fans, Billy Preston is one of the most sought after players in the 2017 recruiting class, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound, five-star forward from Oak Hill Academy.

Ranked Preston No. 8 in his class by Rivals.com, the non-pianoplaying Preston on Tuesday announced an updated Final 5 on his Twitter page.

Preston previously had trimmed his finalists to four schools, but the updated list grew by one and included two new programs and the absence of another.

Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, NC State and USC made the latest cut, with Indiana and NC State being the new additions and Arizona falling off.

Like many of the other top talents in the 2017 class, Preston appeared in the Under Armour Elite 24 game in August and told Rivals.com’s Matt Moreno, of goazcats. com, earlier that month that finding a place where physical development would be guaranteed would play a big role in his recruitment.

While most schools have solid strength and conditioning staffs, few have the proven track record of Kansas, with Andrea Hudy, year after year, taking raw, undeveloped athletes and turning them into physical specimens ready for the rigors of the NBA. “I’m thinking that I’m 230 now,” Preston told Moreno.

“So if I become all muscle, I can become a beast. So, that’s really what I’m look toward for the future.”

According to 247 Sports, Preston was in town on an unofficial visit Jan. 13 and was offered a scholarship two weeks later. KU assistant Jerrance Howard is listed as the lead recruiter for Preston, who like his 1960s musical namesake, always seems to have a smile on his face.

Sexton eyeing early decision Collin Sexton, one of the top point guards in the Class of 2017, recently told Adam Zagoria of zagsblog.com that his upcoming visits would play a big role in his decision about where he will play his college ball.

Sexton, whose family recently hosted KU coach Bill Self and staff for an inhome visit in Mableton, Sexton Georgia, is ranked No. 7 overall in the Rivals 150 in the 2017 class and plans to make an official visit to KU for Late Night in the Phog the weekend of Oct. 1.

Asked by Zagoria when he would like to sign, the fivestar Sexton, 6-1, 170, said: “Around November, just so I can play my senior year out with out worrying about school.”

Gary Woodland, one of the final 30 golfers still standing in the FedEx Playoffs, has improved since reuniting with worldfamous swing coach Butch Harmon

That all explains why when I’m watching PGA tour events on Sundays I alternate between thinking the competitors have the greatest and worst jobs in the world.

So which is it, touring pro Gary Woodland?

“It’s not as easy as it looks, but I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world ... besides maybe playing in the NBA,” said Woodland, in Lawrence for the week.

Woodland loves his basketball, especially his Jayhawks, against whom he played for Washburn in a 2002 exhibition game at Allen Fieldhouse.

That game as a fresh-

BUTCH HARMON TALKS TO RICKIE FOWLER during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2015, at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. Former Kansas golfer Gary Woodland has improved his game since reuniting with the worldrenowned swing coach. man was the final straw in crushing his NBA dreams and a factor in his deciding to transfer to Kansas to play golf. He averaged 18 points a game as a senior, earned allstate honors and won two state championships in basketball for Shawnee Heights High.

He is considered the best basketball player on the PGA tour. More important, he’s one of the 30 remaining golfers in the FedEx playoffs, ranked 20th in the

standings. The 30 golfers compete in the season finale, The Tour Championship next week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Also, Woodland moved to 48th in the Official World Golf Rankings. Either top 30 in FedEx or top 50 in the world rankings would have guaranteed Woodland a spot in every tournament, majors included, next season.

Woodland made the ultimate cut by finishing the season and tournaments strong.

“Being one of the final 30 is always a goal to start the year,” Woodland said. “Playing well at the right time is always rewarding as well. At the start of the year I played pretty dang well for three rounds and struggled on Sundays. I’m finally finishing well.”

Woodland enters the final tournament ranked 43rd on the PGA tour money list with $2,173,424.30 in earnings.

Clearly, Woodland’s reunion with world-renowned swing coach Butch Harmon has improved his game.

“Butch and I struggled in 2012 because I was hurting,” Woodland said. “We tried to make changes and my body couldn’t keep up.

I made drastic changes too soon. Since I’ve come back with Butchy my body’s been healthy and I’ve been able to do some things I couldn’t in 2012.”

Woodland said he looks forward to working during the month-long offseason so that he can “really master what we’re doing.”

He then explained exactly what Harmon is working with him on.

“Just working the golf ball in both directions,”

KU football can’t afford another sluggish start

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The concept of valuing the opening plays of a game or practice certainly isn’t new to Kansas football coach David Beaty or his players.

When Beaty worked on Kevin Sumlin’s staff at Texas A & M, the Aggies’ firststring defense and offense squared off early every practice for a short sequence of plays before breaking off into other drills. Beaty brought that concept with him to KU. After warm-ups and special teams work, the Jayhawks have their “fast start” period. Often it begins with second-and-eight and the coaches get an early look at where the players’ heads are at that particular day.

“Normally it’s one play if the offense gets a first down, or it’s two plays to see if the defense can get off the field,” Beaty explained.

“

“I love that situation. Sometimes we’ll be in third and I love that short. Sometimes we’ll be in situation. first-and-10 and play it and Somejust see where we go from there. We’re able to get a lot times we’ll be in third of situational work there.”

A’s top Royals 8-0 The Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — Yonder Alonso and Marcus Semien hit two-run doubles as the Oakland Athletics beat Kansas City 8-0 for the third straight game on Wednesday night to further ruin the Royals’ postseason chances.

The 2015 World Series champion Royals are five games out in the

American League wild card with 17 games left and would have to climb over five teams.

A’s rookie left-hander Sean Manaea (5-9) picked up his first career road victory, retiring 13 of the final 14 batters he faced in five scoreless innings, striking out five and walking one. Manaea, who had

K C , M . ( ) — The Kansas City Chiefs have released third-round pick KeiVarae Russell and brought back linebacker Dezman Moses on Wednesday in a surprise move just one week into the regular season.

Russell, a cornerback, had been passed over by sixth-round pick D.J. White and recent acquisition Kenneth Acker on the depth chart.

Russell was the Chiefs’ second player chosen in the draft.

“Listen, we felt that was best for the Chiefs right now,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“He’s a good young man and I think he has a good future, but for right now, that’s what we needed.”

The move helps Russell to shore up special teams while providing depth at linebacker, a position group that struggled often in a 3327 overtime victory over San Diego.

The Chiefs are already without pass rusher Justin Houston because of ACL surgery and have to limit Tamba Hali’s time to keep him healthy.

Moses was cut last week when the Chiefs needed to reach the NFL’s 53-man roster limit.

Still, it was a surprise the Chiefs gave up on Russell given how highly he was drafted. Kansas City did not have a first-round pick, so he was one of the prime selections in

this year’s draft.

The Chiefs have also had success in that particular round: running backs Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis, wide receiver Chris Conley, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive lineman Allen Bailey and cornerback Philip Gaines were all thirdround draft picks.

Reid characterized the move as strictly a “personnel decision.”

“I think he’s a smart kid,” he said of the former Notre Dame standout. “Again, this was just a matter of we felt for right now, this was the best move to help us out where we’re sitting.”

In other news, running back Spencer Ware sprained his toe and missed practice Wednesday, though Reid said he expects the breakout star of last week’s win to play Sunday in Houston.

Ware had 70 yards rushing and 129 yards receiving in place of Charles.

Speaking of Charles, Reid said the four-time Pro Bowl running back continues to make progress from his ACL surgery last season, though he did not say whether Charles will get on the field this week.

“Every day he gets a little bit better,” Reid said. “He’ll work in a bit with the starting group but again, we have to make sure he’s set there.

We don’t want another surgery.”

Also banged up were linebacker Sam Barrington, who strained his hamstring in the opener, and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff, who is dealing with a high ankle sprain.

“We’ll just have to see how bad that is,” Reid said.

Woodland said.

“I haven’t had a full arsenal. I’ve been pretty one-dimensional since coming on tour. I’ve been a fader of the golf ball. In certain majors, you’re going to struggle if you can’t work the ball in both directions.”

Augusta National, for example, puts players who can’t draw the ball on command at a disadvantage on certain holes.

three-and-out. “I can just kind of see some wind go out of our sails a little bit for some reason. And we got it back, but that play, I showed to our guys and said, ‘Look, hey, you know what… We’re going to be able to do it on the next play.’ You’ve got to believe in that. And I think they saw that. I think we’ll get better as a result.”

The Kansas offense didn’t even pick up a first down in the first quarter, when it ran just eight plays for an anemic total of four yards.

It was Ohio (1-1) that got off to the fast start instead, not only scoring a touchdown on the game’s opening possession but following that up with TD drives of 75 and 91 yards on two of the Bobcats’ next three series.

Woodland is one of 30 golfers competing for the The Tour Championship first-place check of $1.53 million. stands such a regrettable start can’t happen again if the Jayhawks have any shot of ending their 38game losing streak outside of Lawrence.

“We made mistakes and Ohio was prepared to capitalize on them, and they did. You can’t do that.

You can’t have those kind of things happen,” Bowen said of a first half in which the Bobcats twice picked up first downs on thirdand-10 or longer.

A few days removed from the setback, junior KU linebacker Joe Dineen said the Jayhawks are ready to move on from the loss, while focusing on stopping the run and forcing opponents to punt.

Dineen admitted Ohio’s game-opening, six-play, 75-yard TD drive might have unnecessarily stymied KU’s defensive energy.

Searching for other factors to the sluggish beginning, the linebacker suggested, coming off a season-opening victory, the Jayhawks might have

The best professional golfer in history to come out of KU has earned $13,686,707 for his career in PGA tour events. That puts him in position temporarily to pass Marcus Morris next week.

Morris has received $13,713,781 and counttried to make too many individual plays early on against Ohio.

“We weren’t as assignment sound as we were in the Rhode Island game,” Dineen said, “and I feel like everyone was kind of trying to make plays that weren’t really their plays to make.”

The irony of the slow start, given Beaty’s daily emphasis on the opposite, wasn’t lost on senior safety Bazie Bates IV. “We kind of went out there draggy,” Bates admitted. “I feel like people was kind of still up high from the last week’s win, so we’re back down to humble now. The main thing is going out there and starting fast and remaining physical, using our hands throughout the whole entire practice and don’t let up at all.”

Offensively, KU had just one first-half drive last longer than three plays and net double-digit yardage. It wasn’t until the opening minute of the third quarter that Kansas

The junior quarterback conceded KU’s offense stalling out early on might have temporarily demoralized the unit, which went three-and-out on two of the first three series and saw running back Ke’aun Kinner tackled for a safety two plays into the second drive.

Cozart said KU’s offense has to find ways to do better, not just for the sake of scoring more points, but also for the good of the defense.

“It was definitely tough.

We knew from the beginning when we got out there and we didn’t start off fast and we didn’t have a couple of sustainable drives that we were gonna be in for a little bit of a tough game ...” Cozart said. “Us as offense, we take that as a challenge, and this week we look forward to doing better for our defense.”
