12 of 14 still vying for Farmer’s vacant seat By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence moved a step closer Thursday to finding out who would be its newest city commissioner and fill the vacancy created when former mayor Jeremy Farmer resigned in August. An advisory board helping to select the next city commissioner narrowed the pool of applicants from 14 to 12 during a Thursday evening CITY meeting at City Hall. COMMISSION Each of the 12 advisory committee members selected 12 semi-finalists and ranked them in order of preference using a point system. Committee members would give their first choice 12 points, their second choice 11 points, and so on. City Attorney Toni Wheeler and Senior Assistant City Attorney Randy Larkin tallied up the points at the end. The applicants chosen to move forward are:

Andrew Lang, 4th grade, Lawrence “Probably just getting a pumpkin. I try to get just a medium-sized, regular pumpkin.”

Mark your calendars for fall parties, parades, races Town Talk I

t soon will be fall in Lawrence, which means at some point in time we will all be required to consume large amounts of food and beverages on a city street that has been closed down for a party. (When city engineers started talking about “road diets,” I thought that is what they meant. I flipped

my lid when I thought people were going to start serving turkey brats.) Well, city commissioners at their meeting Tuesday approved a host of events that will take place on city streets in upcoming months. Here’s a quick look: l Oct. 30 is the date for the KU Homecoming parade in downtown

Lawrence. The parade is set for 6 p.m., but look for a party zone on the 100 block of Eighth Street. The city will allow the section of Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire to be closed from 1:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. for the party zone and pep rally. Please see FALL, page 2A

Jurors in the first-degree murder trial of Ronald Eugene Heskett on Thursday watched the 49-year-old Eudora man in a recorded police interview confess to helping a disabled Lawrence man in his care commit suicide. The confession video came Thursday after jurors watched a four-hour taped interview Wednesday in which Heskett denied involvement in the death of his home health care client, Vance “Van” Moulton, 65. In Heskett Wednesday’s video, recorded just an hour after Moulton’s death, Heskett said he found Moulton lying with a towel around his neck on the morning of Sept. 12, 2014, dead of apparent asphyxiation. In Thursday’s video, which was recorded during a second police interview on Sept. 22, 2014, Lawrence Police Department detectives Mike Verbanic and Sam Harvey challenged Heskett’s original story. “We talked to the coroner. They had some doubts,” one of the detectives said. “This is not a typical case of suicide.” On Wednesday, Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell testified that it would be “impossible” for Moulton to have asphyxiated himself alone. Moulton had cerebral palsy that left his legs and one of his arms almost completely immobile. Please see HESKETT, page 2A

Heskett CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

After the detectives mentioned the “doubts,” Heskett grew uncharacteristically quiet in the video. “Van would not want anybody to get into any trouble with assisting him,” Heskett told investigators. “I don’t want to say anything to get anyone into trouble if that’s his choice.”

Details come out But after some time, Heskett eventually incriminated himself, first by saying he rolled up the towel for Moulton because Moulton couldn’t do it himself. Heskett alleged this happened after Moulton asked Heskett to shoot him or smother him with a pillow that morning. “I told him I’d roll up the towel and I’d just leave it there, but I wasn’t going to do it,” Heskett told detectives. “He told me to leave and go do some errands. I didn’t think that he’d do it.” Later, more of the story came out. After further questioning, Heskett told detectives that Moulton told him that if Heskett was really his friend, Heskett would kill him. “(Moulton) said he just wanted to see his mom and be able to walk again,” Heskett said. “He said he wanted to show her what it was like not being crippled.” Then, Heskett told detectives he noticed a towel on Moulton’s pillow, “flipped it around,” then wrapped it around Moulton’s neck and twisted it tight, giving the ends to Moulton to hold. “Van had trouble holding it,” Heskett said. “He told me he kept losing his grip. He wanted me to tie it tighter for him. I twisted it tighter.” Heskett said that he kept twisting until Moulton’s ears turned purple, then tucked the ends underneath Moulton’s head for Moulton to lie on. Heskett said that it “seemed like forever” before Moulton died, his body “twitching” as his life slipped away. Heskett told detectives that after Moulton died, he pulled the towel out from under Moulton’s body as it twitched from nerves. “I pulled it out because I couldn’t take it,” Heskett said. “He was twitching around. I just thought if I pulled it out, he’d be alright.”

Heskett said he then checked Moulton’s wrist for a pulse, found none, and sat in silence for a while in Moulton’s room before reporting the incident to his boss. In the video, detectives were seen leaving Heskett in the interview room alone for approximately 15 minutes. During that time, Heskett pulled a pocket knife from his jeans pocket and began slicing and poking his left wrist with the blade. Watching the ordeal, several jurors winced. When detectives returned to the room, they immediately disarmed Heskett and called for medics. Heskett is heard in the video telling detectives that he cut himself because he felt “so guilty.” But later in the interview, when detectives asked if he was sorry for helping Moulton die, Heskett said, “I regret helping him, but I’m glad he’s not hurting.”

Missing money Harvey said, though, that investigators discovered that about $13,000 was missing from Moulton’s possession after he died. Harvey said he suspected the money may have had something to do with Moulton’s death. After Heskett’s confession and suicide attempt, detectives asked Heskett about the money and some of Heskett’s finances. Moulton’s money had come from two government checks cashed in April and May of 2014, and had at one point been in Moulton’s safety deposit box. Heskett told investigators that Moulton had withdrawn the money and placed it in a dresser drawer in his apartment because he planned to buy a wheelchair-accessible van. But Harvey said the $13,000 in cash was never found, even after investigators searched the dresser drawer. Heskett had some unusual activity in his bank account in June of 2014, when Harvey said a deposit of about $2,000 was made. Harvey said Heskett also purchased a Chevrolet Chevelle around that time, which stood out because Heskett’s family had limited funds. The trial will continue today. It was scheduled to last through Thursday, but defense attorney Mike Warner said he thought the trial would continue into next week.

The party won’t be for the entire period. The time of the street closure also accounts for set-up and tear-down. The city also approved a permit for a beer garden as part of the event. That seems to be an important component of KU football these days. l On Oct. 4, a portion of Massachusetts Street will be closed for the Lawrence Bicycle Club’s Octoginta ride. The section of Massachusetts Street from 11th to 13th streets will be closed from 6:30 to 9 a.m. to allow for bicycle staging. That is a Sunday, but city officials are promising access to churches in the area will be maintained. l Just to prove that you don’t have to be downtown to throw a street party, city officials will close a portion of W. 29th Terrace on Oct. 2 for a fundraising event for the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Board. The LMH board is hosting its first Rock the Block — Kick Cancer Event. The section of West 29th Terrace that will be closed is from Iowa Street to Four Wheel Drive. That is the section of road that runs through the Lawrence Auto Plaza. l On Nov. 1, various streets throughout Lawrence will be closed down for the Health Care Access 2015 Kansas Half Marathon and 5K Run. The fundraiser for Health Care Access will begin and end at Watson Park near Sixth and Kentucky streets. The bulk of the event is expected to occur from 7 to 11 am. That is a Sunday morning, so event organizers were asked to contact area churches to ensure the race wouldn’t impact access to church properties. The Lawrence police and fire departments will also be donating services for the event, such as traffic control and medical standby services. The fire department estimates its costs will be about $2,200, while police estimate their costs at $6,000. l Last but not least, mark you calendar for Dec. 5, if you are a fan of horses and carriages traveling down Massachusetts Street. Organizers for the Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade received a permit for Dec. 5 to use Massachusetts Street from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. to accommodate the horse-drawn parade. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

LMH board chooses firm to guide search for new CEO By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees on Wednesday chose the search firm Witt/Kieffer to guide the hospital’s search for a new CEO. Gene Meyer, current president and CEO of LMH, announced his retirement last month and will step down in May. Witt/Kieffer, based in Oak Brook, Ill., won over the board during the interview process in early September. “When we went through the interviews, there was a real connection there,” said LMH Board of Trustees Chairman Rob Chestnut in Wednesday’s board meeting upon announcing

the board’s choice. “They were really engaged.” The board also interviewed B.E. Smith, out of Lenexa. Those two firms had been narrowed down from a field of five. Although both firms had strong references and were successful in placing executives, each had its own style of developing a search process and creating candidate profiles, and Witt/Kieffer’s style appeared to be a good fit, Chestnut said. Chestnut spoke to seven people who led search committees at other hospitals to gather background to help the board choose a firm. Chestnut didn’t want to speak for the board in terms of what they were

looking for in a candidate. He said the search firm will conduct interviews and site visits and develop an initial candidate composite profile, a process that will help define specific qualities the search committee should consider. “Obviously, you’ll certainly have some consistency on the board about some qualities they want; you’ll also have some diversity, I would imagine,” Chestnut said. Chestnut emphasized that input from all corners of the hospital and community would be vital to the search firm’s work. “It’s important to get stakeholder input, from employees, from physicians, from private prac-

tices, from the community — everyone who will be impacted by that hire,” he said. In other business, the board received these updates: l Plans for space that LMH will use at Sports Pavilion Lawrence have been submitted to the city. The space will be used for wellness and educational activities. The hospital expects programming in the space to begin in January. The hospital is taking bids from contractors for the work, Todd Koch, director of facilities, said in the meeting. l Renovations on the fourth floor, home to the Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness as well as the Transitional Care

State seeks consulting firm to cut expenses By Peter Hancock Twitter: LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A legislative committee began interviewing consulting firms Thursday in hopes of finding one that can find big savings opportunities in the state budget. But Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director, Shawn Sullivan, said it will be hard to come up with new ideas that haven’t already been debated in Kansas, although he remains hopeful that the process will be productive. “That’s what we’ll find out,” Sullivan said as the Legislative Budget Committee began interviewing firms that submitted proposals for the contract.

Science CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The state support will be “but one source of revenue for this unique public-private partnership,” according to the Regents budget request memo, though KU has not yet shared details about partnerships. Designs aren’t finalized, but tentative plans call for two facilities to be constructed in the Irving Hill area currently home to Stouffer Place Apartments, according to KU’s Campus Master Plan. New science buildings would be part of a broader initiative KU is calling Innovation Way, an effort to enhance and link science facilities campuswide. KU provost Jeff Vitter told the Regents at their budget workshop in July that KU’s current science buildings — including the oft-maligned Malott Hall — have an average age of 59 years and are fraught

A pilot program aiming to make recycling easier for residents in unincorporated Douglas County is set to begin next week. The project, which was originally approved by Douglas County commissioners in July, is establishing four recycling drop-off locations within the county for residents to leave single-stream (mixed paper, plastic and metal) recyclables at their convenience.

the pilot program will likely run for about six months so the county can gauge recycling demands throughout the area and determine where to go next.

East 1500 Road to close for repairs A portion of East 1500 Road will close on Monday for bridge repairs and pavement work, Douglas County said in a release. The road will close between

North 1175 and North 1250 roads, the release said. The stretch is expected to remain closed through December. Roadwork on East 1500 Road will also coincide with the Kansas Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reconstruction project for an adjoining section of Haskell Avenue, the release said. On Monday the department will also reopen a stretch of the relocated Louisiana Street from 31st Street to North 1100 Road, the release said.

Wichita’s softer pot penalties up in the air By Peter Hancock

“

Is that (provision) just sort of aspirational fluff, or does it have an actual binding mean— The Kansas ing on this court?”

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka Supreme Court will soon decide whether to strike down all or part of a voterapproved city ordinance in Wichita that decriminalizes first-time possession by adults of small amounts of marijuana or drug paraphernalia. The seven justices heard oral arguments in the case Thursday amid a growing national debate over what many have called “mass incarceration” of people, disproportionately poor and minority individuals, for relatively minor nonviolent drug crimes. “I think it is an entirely proper national conversation, and I think it’s happening in Kansas and it should be happening in Kansas,” Attorney General Derek Schmidt said to reporters after the court hearing. ”But I’m always a little bit concerned when broad policy discussions like that come up through anecdotal situations or individual cases, or even individual subject matters like marijuana ordinances.” Voters in Wichita approved that ordinance in April, 54-46 percent. It was the result of a citizen-led initiative that forced the Wichita City Council to put it on the ballot. Esau Freeman, one of the organizers of the petition drive to put the ordinance on the ballot, said

— Kansas Supreme Court Justice Caleb Stegall

mass incarceration has become an issue in Wichita and elsewhere. “A lot of times people get upset with law enforcement for doing their job, and the problem is that the state Legislature has not changed the laws, and they’re putting our police in a difficult position and making them enforce laws that citizens don’t agree with,” he said. But Schmidt’s office argued that the city had no right to pass such a law because it is in direct conflict with state laws. “The people of Wichita who supported this ordinance, they may disagree with those laws, but they have no authority under the Kansas Constitution or Kansas statutes to exempt themselves from them,” Assistant Attorney General Jeff Chanay told the court. The ordinance declares first-time possession by an adult over age 21 of up to 32 grams of marijuana, slightly more than an ounce, an “infraction” rather than a misdemeanor and sets the maximum penalty at a $50 fine. It also contains what some have called a gag order, requiring Wichita police officers to refer

those cases only to the city attorney’s office for prosecution and prohibiting either the police or the city attorney from reporting those cases to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation or any other state or federal law enforcement agency. Under state law, that same activity is a misdemeanor that can result in a fine of up to $2,500, or one year in the county jail, or both. Sharon Dickgrafe of the Wichita city attorney’s office argued that under the Kansas Constitution, voters in Wichita had every right to enact such an ordinance. “In 1914, this court stated the supreme power resides in the body of the people,” Dickgrafe said. “In 1935, the Kansas Legislature passed (a statute) to allow individual citizens of cities to promote and initiate their own legislation. That is what has happened in this case.” Justice Caleb Stegall, the newest member of the Supreme Court, appeared to be the one most willing to accept that argument. He pointed to a provision of the Kansas Constitution allowing local initiatives that says its

provisions “shall be liberally construed for the purpose of giving to cities the largest measure of self-government.” “Is that just sort of aspirational fluff, or does it have an actual binding meaning on this court?” he asked Chanay. “And if it does, what does it tell us? Does it require a high level of deference to the democratic actions of the city, of the citizens of Wichita?” Chanay answered by saying that provision has to be read in context with the rest of the section, which spells out the limitations of local referendums, including language that says they may be used “only in such cases as prescribed by the legislature, subject only to enactments of the legislature of statewide concern applicable uniformly to all cities ...” Dickgrafe argued that there is really no conflict because the state law does not establish a mandatory minimum penalty. Therefore, she said, a defendant charged in state court could conceivably receive the same penalty as a person in municipal court. She agreed, however, that the “gag rule” clause of the ordinance is probably in direct conflict with state law, but she said the court could strike down that clause by itself and leave the remainder of the ordinance in place. The court is expected to decide the case later this year.

Deciding factors It would be interesting to know what were considered the most important qualities for Kansas University’s new College of Liberal Arts and Sciences dean.

oney makes the world go around, or so the lyrics of the Broadway hit “Cabaret” claim. More and more money also makes a state university go around. In fact, money is the determining factor in most every action or policy on Mount Oread. If it’s not the determining factor behind the scenes, it is a very strong consideration. This being the case, it will be interesting to learn who is chosen as the new dean of Kansas University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Even more interesting would be knowing what factors determined the winning candidate. How were the scales tilted when interviewing and judging the four finalists? What weight was given to national reputation, academic excellence, the number of publications authored or co-authored by the candidates, their skill in the classroom, their thoughts about the College’s academic course offerings, their ability to recruit faculty, their ability to inspire faculty and excite students, their ability to recruit superior students, their plans for the future of the College, etc.? How much attention was given to which candidates would be good fundraisers for the College or the university? What level of importance was attached to their ability to communicate and tell the story of the College to taxpayers, state legislators, parents and students? How about the level of enthusiasm and drive exhibited by the candidates? Was a ceiling placed on what these candidates could be paid, and did this color the thinking of the search committee? Were some eliminated from consideration because KU could not meet their salary expectations? Like it or not, in one way or another, money plays a critical role. In today’s academic world, deans are supposed to be able to raise money. That’s one of their primary jobs. They are constantly on the road asking alumni, friends, businesses and corporations for money — money for programs, money for endowments, money for most everything tied into the job. This is why communication skills and personality are so important. Donors, legislators and parents should look forward to meeting and visiting with a dean or senior administrator, even if the purpose of the meeting is to ask for money. Competition for superior faculty members and deans is intense and becoming more competitive year by year. Likewise, competition for superior students is more intense. In every case, money plays a central role, whether it supports scholarships, salaries or programs. Again, it would interesting to know what carried the most weight in the selection of the new College dean: experience and academic excellence or possibly their communication skills and ability to raise money. Hopefully, the winning candidate has both skills: raising money and raising the academic excellence of the College. LAWRENCE

Trump falls short on foreign policy Washington — Maybe Donald Trump plans to buy a foreign policy. Because based on the CNN Republican presidential debate, he doesn’t seem to have one of his own — other than forming what sounds like a kind of “dictators’ club” with the big guys from Russia and China. As for the other Republican candidates in Wednesday night’s debate, they mirrored the foreign policy frustration and disagreement that afflict the country as a whole. They all banged on President Obama’s allegedly weak leadership, but it was hard to know whether they would take the country deeper into war in the Middle East or move to a betterarmed and safer distance. You could hear some of the air deflating from the Trump balloon when he talked foreign policy. Asked what he would do about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military moves in Syria, Trump offered what sounded like a Yalta-style embrace. “I would talk to him. I would get along with him,” he said. Big-guy diplomacy was also Trump’s apparent answer for Chinese President Xi Jinping. “We don’t get along with China. ... We get along with nobody. I will get along.” Perhaps he envisions comping the high-rollers for a summit at one of his Trump casinos, free rounds of golf included. Trump stumbled further when pressed by conservative moderator Hugh Hewitt about his foreign policy ex-

“

You could hear some of the air deflating from the Trump balloon when he talked foreign policy. Asked what he would do about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military moves in Syria, Trump offered what sounded like a Yalta-style embrace. ‘I would talk to him. I would get along with him …’” pertise. His initial answer was largely self-congratulation. “I will have the finest team that anybody has put together and we will solve a lot of problems.” And then, lamely, he promised to study up: “I will know more about the problems of this world by the time I sit (in the White House).” Bashing the Iran nuclear deal was good theater all night. Sen. Ted Cruz promised to rip it “to shreds” and former Gov. Mike Huckabee pledged to “destroy” it. But neither of them (or anyone else on stage) offered a clue

about what they would do next. Former Gov. Jeb Bush at least had the gumption to say that “it’s not a strategy to tear up an agreement.” The clearest foreign policy visions came from two young senators, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Rubio eloquently made the traditional GOP case for robust, interventionist foreign policy. Paul was equally forceful in arguing the opposite line, that “interventions backfire.” Carly Fiorina seemed the most intense and well-prepared debater. She rattled off a military-buildup plan for 50 Army brigades, 36 Marine battalions, 300 to 350 naval ships. Whew! If she doesn’t win the White House, maybe she should apply for secretary of defense. The crossfire onstage was a reminder that the party is still going through its own post-Iraq crisis. Bush and Gov. Chris Christie got cheers when they recalled George W. Bush’s defiant stance after Sept. 11, 2001. But Paul, Trump and Ben Carson all seemed to gain points for having opposed the Iraq War. The jumbled GOP message on foreign policy was reassuring, in a strange way, because it underlined that there is no quick fix to the serious problems the United States has encountered abroad over the last 15 years. This Republican field wants to “keep the country safe,” in the spirit of Bush 43, without going to war again. That’s the dilemma Obama confronted. Take Syria, a ravaged

country that is hemorrhaging refugees into Europe in scenes reminiscent of the 1940s. The GOP candidates seemed to agree that it was Obama’s fault, but they offered no clear alternative strategy. A revealing moment came when Hewitt asked why Cruz, Paul and Rubio didn’t bear some responsibility for the Syria catastrophe because each indicated he would vote against allowing Obama to use force against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in 2013. Rubio lamely answered that he had “zero responsibility” because Obama would only have launched a “pinprick” attack. That sounded hypocritical. Who seemed closest to a credible candidate, in this cacophony of voices? My vote would go to the underperformer of 2015, Jeb Bush. He seemed to be awakened from a months-long slumber in defending his wife from Trump’s criticism, refusing to apologize for his fluency in Spanish, standing up for his brother George, and admitting his high school marijuana use. This un-Bush-like combativeness was accompanied by sensible, centrist policy arguments — for a high-growth economic strategy that could jump-start wages and investment, and a foreign policy that would seek to be the world’s leader, rather than its policeman. By the end, even Trump had to admit that Bush had shown new energy. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Just Food seeks to restore trust, stability By Nancy Thellman Douglas County commissioner and member of Just Food board of directors

Just Food, Douglas County’s largest food bank, needs the community’s help! This is such a hard column to write because Jeremy Farmer, Just Food’s former executive director, was my friend. We worked together as city and county commissioners, sometimes with the opportunity to help the most vulnerable folks in our community, particularly the hungry. That’s why I was glad to say yes to Jeremy’s invitation to join Just Food’s board this year. After all, it’s a great organization with important work to do. But now, like so many others, I’m left Thellman scratching my head. The only work I’ve done on behalf of Just Food in the past couple of months is scrambling to keep its doors open. On the heels of a Jeremy-sized scandal, Just Food’s future is tenuous, at best. I know many in the community are sure a different board would have managed better, perhaps averted this disaster, and I am in no position to argue against that criticism credibly. But the truth is, when the executive director of an agency has made what appears to be a deliberate and determined effort to hide financial information and divert funds for their own personal gain,

YOUR TURN it is difficult for any board to succeed. Regardless, our Just Food board owns this mess — the good, the bad, and the ugly — because Jeremy is gone. We are doing our level best to fix Just Food, meet our IRS tax obligation, and regain your trust. We will rightsize the organization, find savings everywhere we can and, if the community will support us, Just Food will get past this crisis and continue to provide good food to thousands of residents in Douglas County who rely on us, in part, for their daily bread. Here’s what we need: $60,000 by the end of September. While we have been able to make partial payment to the IRS, we quickly need to pay the remainder of the tax bill or face what could very well be institutional bankruptcy. Of course, we also need more food, more monthly pledges, more volunteers and some extra community good will, too, but all of that is moot if we cannot get this tax liability behind us very soon. Here’s what we’re doing to regain your trust: 1. Just Food board members will help pay the IRS tax liability. To date, we have set aside over $10,450 from our own pockets to go toward the next IRS installment; 100 percent of the board members have contributed. 2. While strong policies were already in place, it is clear they didn’t work. Even stronger policies will be adopted and married to a highly sensitized board demanding full account-

ability. You can be sure, now, that every donation lands where it belongs at Just Food and every dollar is accounted for. Period. 3. We’re cleaning up the facility. On Monday, with the help of faithful volunteers and staff, we spent the entire day deep cleaning. Inside and out, we are making progress toward a fresh start. 4. We will continue to work with the folks we’ve enlisted to help us through this tough time: our lawyers, Dan and Pat Watkins; our accountant, The McFadden Group; our auditor, Summers Spencer & Company; our non-profit board development consultant, Becky Price and, of course, our community partners. We are all working together to make sure the Just Food board takes the necessary legal, administrative and internal actions to become a better agency, accountable to our donors, for sure, and sustainable for the future. And for those who see dollar signs after every one of these consultants’ names, please know that an enormous amount of their time and service is provided to us pro bono or at greatly reduced cost. That’s a testament to the importance they place on the future of Just Food, and for their expertise and generosity in a time of need we are forever grateful. Please don’t let the doors of Just Food close. You can donate online: www.justfoodks.org, or send your check to Just Food, 1000 E. 11th St., Lawrence, KS 66046, or visit our new crowdsourcing site: www.crowdrise.com/keepthepantrydooropen.

NEWS ANALYSIS

Hillary Clinton’s real troubles may be with moderates, not the left Centrists hold back support to see what Biden will do

Heidi M Przybyla @HeidiPrzybyla USA TODAY

You may have heard this before: Hillary Clinton’s poll ratings are free-falling as socialist Bernie Sanders rides an anti-establishment wave of support. It’s a great story that’s not quite right. The Democratic front-runner’s standing among the broader public has taken a beating amid a crush of stories about her use of a private email server as secretary of State and a populist surge behind the Vermont senator in the early voting states of New Hampshire and Iowa. But her more immediate troubles, as demonstrated by national polls, are with self-described moderate Democrats hedging their bets on an alternative named Joe Biden — who isn’t even a candidate, at least not yet — not liberals feeling “the Bern.” In an interview Wednesday on CNN, Clinton said she was “very

confident and very comfortable” with her strategy. “I always thought this would be a competitive election,” she said. The 13-percentage-point drop among moderate and conservative Democrats supporting Clinton is double that of liberals who’ve moved away from her in the past month, according to a recent Monmouth University poll. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

The announcement that has loomed large over Wall Street for weeks turned out to be a nonevent Thursday when the Federal Reserve said it is not raising interest rates for the first time in a decade — at least not now. Citing global economic weakness and financial market turmoil, the Fed said it would keep U.S. interest rates near zero. The news added to a tumultuous day of trading that included a 193-point surge in the Dow Jones industrial average shortly after the Fed’s announcement at 2 p.m. ET. That rally disappeared, and at the close, the Dow was down 65 points to 16,675. The Fed’s decision to leave short-term interest rates unchanged turned out as many on Wall Street had predicted. Seeing greater market volatility and fears of an economic slowdown in China, many analysts and economists were convinced the Fed wouldn’t touch rates. Now investors are back in limbo, which is why the celebration over Thursday’s news didn’t last long. The fact the Fed didn’t boost short-term rates indicates the U.S. central bank still lacks faith in the global economy. Investors can’t help but worry that if the Fed is concerned, they should be, too. Investors are back to worrying about when rates will start rising, because the rate hike is only prolonged and will need to be done down the road, whether it’s at the Fed’s next meeting in October, the one in December or sometime in 2016. Even though the Fed has signaled it will raise rates only a little bit at a time when it starts the tightening process, when that happens, it will cut into an environment of record-low rates since the financial crisis that has been a key driver of the bull market in stocks. Getting the Fed out of the way for now allows investors to resume their chase after high-flying stocks that perform well during times of low interest rates. Investors may have won the battle with the Fed over the timing of higher rates — but the war is far from over. Fed officials in their forecast signaled they might bump up short-term interest rates as soon as this year. Futures trading based on the fed funds rate says there’s a 21% chance of a rate hike in October and a 49.5% chance in December.

Summer sizzles to the hottest on record worldwide Christine Rushton USA TODAY

If you sweated out the summer, you weren’t alone. The months of June, July and August were the planet’s hottest on record, according to a report released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This year remains on track to beat the hottest on the books worldwide, crushing 136 years of records. “The world is dominated by areas that are record warm or more than average right now,” NOAA climate scientist Deke

Arndt said. “The warmth has truly been widespread across the oceans and land.” From January to August, global temperatures soared 1.51 degrees above average. Six of those months hit record highs. Countries in the Middle East suffered a stifling heat wave this summer, with Iran soaring to a heat index of 163 degrees in July. Oregon, Washington, California and Nevada are also seeing record heat. Compounding the situation is a growing El Niño, a climate pattern defined by warmer-than-average water in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Some of this year’s heat

records come from El Niño, but climate change also plays a role, Arndt said. “Long term climate change is like climbing a flight of stairs, El Niño is like standing on your tippy toes on those stairs,” Arndt said. “We would not have threatening records repeatedly if we had not been climbing the stairs for years.” An earlier report found a 97% chance that El Niño, which typically brings wetter-than-average conditions to the Southwest, will continue through the 2015-2016 winter. About a third of the regions facing drought in the U.S. could

get much needed rainfall this winter as a result of El Niño. About 97% of California is in drought. Still, there’s a high probability the dry conditions will continue in the Northwest and northern California in the coming months, according to Thursday’s report. Montana, parts of which are already in a dry spell, could also see drought develop. NOAA predicts higher than normal temperatures in autumn for much of the northern U.S., Alaska, the West and East coasts. For areas of Texas near the Gulf Coast, cooler than normal temperatures are forecast.

Chicago: Great city, greater problems Aamer Madhani

USA TODAY

CHICAGO There is a dark cloud over Chicago that is getting increasingly difficult to ignore. As summer comes to a close, murders are up 21% in the city from last year. The depravity seemed to hit a new low this month when dismembered body parts of a toddler were discovered in a lagoon in a city park. Police don’t have any clue about whom the child is. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is likely to soon seek a massive property tax hike — the biggest in city history — to help make a $500 million pension payment due to city firefighters and police. Chicago teachers started the school year last week without a labor contract, and the school system is mired in a monumental budget crisis. There could be 1,500 staff layoffs, and the city estimates a $1.1 billion budget deficit for next school year. To add insult to injury, demographers concluded this week that the swampy oil town of Houston will displace Chicago as America’s third-largest city within a decade. Houston! Maybe I’m being too gloomy about the city I love. But it’s hard to ignore that Chicago is at an inflection point. The heart of the problem may be that it’s long been too easy to ignore the issues that have been facing this city for years.

A makeshift memorial was set up in the Lawndale neighborhood where a 22-year-old man was killed Sept. 8 in Chicago. Chicagoans have long talked about “two Chicagos.” There’s the bustling downtown known as the Loop, which features world-class architecture, a culinary scene in the city’s patchwork of neighborhoods that proud Chicagoans like to boast is better than New York’s and Los Angeles’, and the enclaves on the north side and surrounding downtown where $1 million condos are plentiful. Then there’s the other Chicago on the city’s South and West Sides, where a vastly disproportionate number of the city’s 325 homicides this year have occurred. These are the same neighborhoods, predominantly black and Latino, that have endured the brunt of dozens of school closures and seen the shuttering of mental health clinics in recent years as the city has become weighed down by debt. For those of us who live in that leafier, more idyllic side of

The heart of the problem may be that it’s long been too easy to ignore the issues that have been facing this city for years. town, the violence and inequity in those neighborhoods that we rarely, if ever, visit can almost seem like they are in a foreign country — one that happens to be only miles away from our homes. We read about the violence in the Monday papers that give us a macabre body count of those killed and wounded over the weekend. More often than not, the crime scenes are far from where we digest the grim mayhem over our cups of coffee. Occasionally, reminders of the

violence come to even the postcard version of Chicago, where I live and play. Last week, I was out to lunch with my wife and daughter in the city’s West Loop, a neighborhood where airy lofts and some of the city’s most popular restaurants have replaced what was a rancidsmelling meatpacking district in another era. As we walked through the neighborhood after lunch, we passed a club, Red Kiva, whose name seemed far too familiar to me — a guy who is rarely out after 8 p.m. It took a couple of minutes before I remembered that I had read a couple of days earlier in one of those Monday morning violence roundups that a young man, LaVell Caron Southern, was gunned down soon after leaving the Red Kiva. The story registered, in part, because Southern, 23, was a former standout football player at Mount Carmel High School, a

sports powerhouse that produced former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb and former three-time NBA all-star Antoine Walker. According to news reports, Southern had no enemies and was a good guy. His slaying was sadly another tragedy in a seemingly endless trail of senseless violence that’s become part of this city’s backdrop. After the remains of the dismembered toddler were discovered, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy called it a “heinous, senseless crime.” It is one, he said, that “goes beyond human reason.” The police chief’s outrage is appropriate. Now, it’s time for my neighbors and me to be just as angry about the dark cloud that hovers over our city. Madhani is USA TODAY’s Chicago correspondent.

Republican candidates head to island Michigan leans to left, but tourist spot hosts conservative fest Kathleen Gray Detroit Free Press

Fresh off the debate stage in California, six Republican presidential candidates will travel to an unlikely place this weekend: an island in the middle of two Great Lakes where horse carriages and bicycles are the only form of transportation. The journey to Mackinac Island, which lies in the Straits of Mackinac where Lakes Huron and Michigan meet, will be worth it for the six candidates — former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, California businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — because 2,200 Republican activists from the state also are traveling to the island for the Michigan Republican Party’s biennial Leadership Conference. “We invited every candidate, all 17, now 16. I actually hand-delivered invitations to most of them because 10 of them have DETROIT

been in the state in the past six months,” said Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairwoman of the state Republican Party and niece of the past GOP presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. “Of course, we would love to have all 16, but I don’t think the island could have accommodated all of them.” Indeed, hotel rooms on the tourist-attraction island have been hard to find for weeks. Bars and restaurants are booked for GOP-themed parties and fundraisers throughout the weekend, and the Grand Hotel, known for its sprawling porch overlooking the Mackinac Bridge, which connects Michigan to the Upper Peninsula, is gearing up to be ground zero for all things Republican. It’s an odd choice for Republican presidential candidates, said Michael Traugott, political science professor for the University of Michigan. “Michigan has a strange appeal for Republicans because it’s been consistently a Democratic state. But hope springs eternal,” he said. Democrats have won every presidential election cycle in Michigan since 1992 when Bill Clinton beat President George H.W. Bush. The prospect of winning the

One is developing a field organization that could be useful in the general election, and the second is to raise money,” Traugott said. “There are a lot of wealthy Republicans in southeast Michigan and the western part of the state.”

In the 2012 election cycle, Michigan voters donated $15.8 million to presidential campaigns, according to campaign-finance reports, and that doesn’t include the millions dumped into super PACs. Romney got more than $9 million in contributions from individuals, while President Obama tallied $5.7 million from people across the state.

of being kind of moderate and center. I plead guilty.’’ The remarks caused some head scratching among Democratic strategists, given that her stiffest competition among the declared candidates is from a self-described socialist. Until now, much of her policy platform has been a direct appeal to liberals, including campaign-finance proposals and new regulations on the financial services industry. Her rhetoric in a speech in July in New Hampshire illustrates her earlier emphasis on liberal bona fides. “I take a back seat to no one when you look at my record in standing up and fighting for progressive values,” she said.

The rhetorical shift reflects Clinton’s attempt to plug the most immediate hole in her listing base of voters. “She realizes she’s not going to out-Bernie Bernie’’ by appealing to liberals, said Matt Bennett, vice president at Third Way, a centrist think-tank founded by Democrats. “He has a very, very hard ceiling, and he’s just about hit it,’’ he added. Clinton’s campaign said her numbers will bounce back once she has a Republican challenger, which will allow her to draw a clearer contrast. Further, poll numbers at this point in the election cycle tend to be plastic. In 2004, former Vermont governor Howard Dean was poised to win the Iowa caucuses. He went on to finish third, behind Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards. “It’s not to say we haven’t seen some tarnishing’’ of Clinton’s image among Democrats, Marshall said. But unless Biden throws his hat in, “I still don’t see any fundamental change in the structure of this race,’’ Marshall said. “I don’t think he’s going to do it.’’ Contributing: Nicole Gaudiano

“Michigan is a large state, and there are a lot of delegates here. You don’t have to be one of the first states to have a primary to be a player,” said Republican political consultant Tom Shields of Marketing Resources Group in Lansing. “Michigan is in play because of when we have our primary. And it’s wide open, there’s no favorite son or daughter here at this point.” Michigan’s primary is March 8, a week after Super Tuesday, and 59 GOP delegates are up for grabs. Shields noted the state is prime territory for Midwestern candidates such as Kasich and Walker, who can try to build a base of support in a neighbor state to have in their back pocket as the primary election cycle plays out and other candidates drop out of the race. Walker visited Michigan in May, and Kasich has been to the state five times in the past five months. The other four candidates coming to the event on Mackinac have visited the state at least once this year. The conference isn’t exclusively about firing up the GOP troops for the presidential election. It’s also geared toward promoting the state’s elected officials and their accomplishments.

VOTERS IN GREECE HEAD TO POLLS AGAIN Both leading parties support painful financial measures Dani Vergou and Eric J. Lyman Special for USA TODAY

ATHENS Eight months after sweeping into office on an antiausterity pledge, Greece’s populist Syriza party seeks a new mandate from voters Sunday, even though it reneged on the promise that got it elected. Polls show Syriza — led by former prime minister Alexis Tsipras, 41 — and the center-right New Democracy party — led by Evangelos Meimarakis, 62 — running neck-and-neck, well ahead of other parties and each with a

Alexis Evangelos Tsipras Meimarakis quarter to a third of the vote. Both parties said they support the drastic overhauls required by European creditors, meaning the main difference is who would carry out the changes and finish negotiations with creditors. “The austerity measures are inevitable, no matter who wins,” said Dimitris Mavros, an analyst with MRB Hellas, a leading Greek market research firm. “The differ-

ence for frustrated voters is between Tsipras, who casts himself as representing honor, justice and good intentions, and Meimarakis representing stability, security and consistency.” This is the third time this year that weary Greeks go to the polls while the economic fate of their country is again on the line. The next prime minister will have to shepherd through the austere measures of the bailout deal with European creditors for a financial aid package worth $97 billion. The Greek economy could collapse without the bailout money, and Greece could be forced out of the eurozone if it fails to enact the changes. Voters first elected Tsipras’ party in January after he vowed to take a hard line against the austerity demands of the Euro-

pean Union creditors. In July, Greeks rejected the creditors’ demands in a national referendum, but days later, Tsipras, the prime minister, accepted the terms. As his party splintered in support of the deal, Tsipras stepped down last month and called for elections, hoping to receive a new mandate. Whatever the results of Sunday’s vote, the next step for Greece will be to implement difficult changes, including tax increases, slashed government services and pension payments

and widespread privatizing of state assets. For most Greeks, the election is not generating the same level of excitement as the votes in January and July. Many people say they have lost faith in the electoral system. “I haven’t even been following the debates or the news,” said Rodi Papasileka, 40, a pharmacist. “It’s worthless. I don’t trust anyone.” Varvara Kessari, 28, a sales clerk, said she’ll resist the temptation to abstain from voting. “We should have known better and made better choices in the past,” she said. “Now we’re stuck and forced to obey these austerity measures, if that is even feasible. I think my generation in Greece is kind of doomed to suffer.” Lyman reported from Rome.

GOP eyes votes on women’s health Lawmakers target Planned Parenthood funding in House bill Paul Singer USA TODAY

Republicans will force several votes on the House floor Friday to cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood and transfer that money to other women’s health services, but there does not appear to be any path to get the bills through the Senate. At Wednesday’s presidential debate, Republicans echoed congressional outrage over undercover videos released over the summer that appeared to show Planned Parenthood officials negotiating prices for fetal tissue from abortions. The group has denied that it sells tissue, but three House committees have started investigations and Republicans and abortion opponents have demanded that Congress strip the group’s federal funding. Some conservatives in the House have also said that they will refuse to approve any spending bill to keep the government open past Sept. 30 unless it includes a ban on funding for Planned Parenthood.

House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, acknowledged that GOP bills will have a hard time in the Senate.

The House is voting Thursday and Friday on a bill offered by Reps. Dianne Black, R-Tenn., and Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., that would cut all federal funding to Planned Parenthood for a year and transfer the $235 million to community health centers and other qualified facilities. Republicans argue that these centers provide all the services Planned Parenthood provides — except for abortions. Democrats and abortion-rights advocates say these health centers would not be able to provide comparable services. Planned Parenthood already is barred from using any federal money to provide abortions. The House also will vote on legislation by Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., to strengthen criminal penalties for anyone fails to provide medical care to a baby that survives an attempted abortion. Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, said Thursday the goal is to “stop these grisly practices we’ve seen by some abortion providers,” but he acknowledged it may be hard to get the bills through the Senate. “There are a lot of steps in this process, a couple of steps are being taken today ... you are going to see other steps in the coming weeks.”

The cadence of Sanaa Shehata’s prayer quickens as it goes on, her Arabic words foreign to some in Arabic Baptist Church’s pews, but her rising enthusiasm and volume obvious to all. The English translation, transmitted through an earpiece, more reflects the church’s rural Tennessee setting — measured, quiet, delivered in a Southern drawl. But white or Arab, Englishspeakers or not, members of the congregation have the same mission: Evangelizing Middle Tennessee’s Muslims in a language many of them understand. It’s what prompted Pastor Raouf Ghattas and his wife, Carol, to put off retirement five years ago and instead start visiting area churches, explaining Islam and leading strategy sessions on how to reach its practitioners. He held services in living rooms, eventually sharing space with Grace Baptist Church near Murfreesboro’s southern city limits.

Housing starts fell 3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.13 million homes, the Commerce Department said Thursday. “This is a mere blip on the radar,” said Tom Wind, executive vice president of home lending at EverBank. “The housing market’s underlying fundamentals remain on pace for continued recovery.” AMAZON SELLING SIX-PACKS OF ITS $50 TABLETS Holiday shopping could get interesting this year with Amazon’s announcement of a new 7-inch Fire tablet for $49.99.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS WHOA: FED TIGHTENS REINS LIFE ON RATE HIKE — FOR NOW AUTOS TRAVEL

“We want to take more time” to assess slowdown overseas, Fed chief says Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Not yet. Citing global economic weakness and financial market turmoil, the Federal Reserve agreed Thursday to keep its benchmark interest rate near zero despite the improving U.S. labor market. But the Fed policymakers’ forecast indicates they still expect to bump up the federal funds rate this year for the first time in nearly a decade, with meetings scheduled for October and December. Their projections, however, show they expect to raise it even more gradually over the long term than they previously signaled. Richmond Fed chief Jeffrey Lacker was the lone dissenter. The decision capped the most dramatic run-up to a Fed meeting in recent years, with economists split on whether the central bank would raise its key rate, which has been near zero since the 2008 financial crisis and affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses across the economy. WASHINGTON

“The economy has been performing well, and we expect it to continue to do so.” Federal Reserve Chief Janet Yellen

“An argument can be made for a rise in interest rates at this time,” Fed Chair Janet Yellen said at a news conference. But she added, “We want to take more time to evaluate the likely impact on the United States” from the overseas slowdown and market gyrations. She said Fed policymakers also want to see if further improvement in the labor market “will bolster our confidence that inflation will move back” to the Fed’s annual 2% target over the medium term. In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed said, “Recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near-term.” Fed policymakers now expect just one rate hike this year that would push the funds rate to 0.375% from the current 0.125%, according to their median forecast. They also expect a slower rise that would leave the rate at 2.625% by the end of 2017 and a longer-run normal rate of 3.5%, down from their previous estimate of 3.75%. With the U.S. economy rebounding more strongly in the second quarter after a slowdown early in the year, the Fed raised its median forecast for economic growth this year to 2.1% from 1.9% in June. But after the recent global and

Stocks wobble, end mixed after Fed stands pat yields lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.20% from 2.30% Wednesday. In its decision to hold rates steady, the Fed acknowledged that recent market turbulence and international developments were among the reasons to hold off on rate hikes for the time being. In addition to keeping an eye on inflation, which the Fed wants to see move towards its 2% mandate, the Fed said it

NEW YORK Stocks fell on Wall Street on Thursday after the Federal Reserve decided to hold off on raising interest rates but expressed some concern about recent tumult in markets. The closely watched Fed meeting, in which the Fed opted not to hike rates for the first time in nearly a decade, prolongs the guessing game as to when the U.S. central bank will finally pull the trigger on rates, which are now pegged close to 0%.

market troubles, it lowered its projection for 2016 to 2.3% from 2.5% in June. And with the 5.1% unemployment rate already below the Fed’s previous year-end forecast, it now expects the jobless rate to fall to 4.8% by the end of 2016, below its June forecast of 5.1%. Yet the central bank also expects a more modest rise in inflation, providing it more leeway to nudge up rates gently. It slightly lowered its inflation forecast to 1.7% in 2016 and 1.9% in 2017, leaving it below its 2% annual target even in two years. Supporting the case for a Fed move was a 5.1% unemployment rate that’s already at the central bank’s long-run target, average monthly job gains of 212,000 this year and healthy economic growth of 3.7% at an annual rate in the second quarter. “The economy has been performing well, and we expect it to continue to do so,” Yellen said. Waiting too long to act might force the Fed to hoist rates more rapidly when currently meager inflation eventually heats up, a move that could destabilize markets. “I don’t think it’s good policy to have to slam on the brakes,” she said. Yellen said she continues to expect tepid inflation to pick up as low oil prices and a strong dollar stabilize, but she said it will take “a bit more time” for those effects to dissipate. Some economists say the 5.1% unemployment rate already heralds a coming surge in wages and prices as employers compete for fewer available workers. But annual pay growth has been stuck near a sluggish 2% pace, possibly reflecting an excess labor supply that includes parttime workers who prefer fulltime jobs, for example. Meanwhile, recent news of China’s economic slowdown, and the resulting turmoil in global and U.S. stocks, prompted Fed officials to hold off. “The outlook abroad appears to have become more uncertain of late,” Yellen said.

GM to pay $900M fine to settle criminal probe Feds say automaker tried to cover up ignition switch defect Nathan Bomey and Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

General Motors agreed to pay $900 million as part of a Justice Department investigation into its failure to fix a deadly ignitionswitch defect blamed for more than 120 deaths. Federal prosecutors hit GM with a wire-fraud charge and a charge for “engaging in a scheme to conceal a deadly safety defect” from regulators. But those counts

would be dismissed in three years if GM fixes its recall processes. GM’s official plea is not guilty. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara left the door open to prosecuting individual GM employees. But he said it’s difficult to pin blame on individuals who may have had only partial knowledge of a backward bureaucratic process that led to tragedy. “We’re not done, and it remains possible we will charge an individual,” Bharara said at a news conference in New York. GM engineers, attorneys and midlevel executives failed to fix the defect for more than a decade. “To sum it up, they didn’t tell the truth in the best way that they should have, to their regula-

General Motors CEO Mary Barra called the settlement a “tough agreement” but appropriate.

tors, to the public, about the serious safety defects that risked life and limb,” Bharara said. As part of the settlement, GM

admitted to having defrauded customers by marketing its vehicles as safe during that period. Separately, GM reached a deal to extend settlement offers to up to 1,385 additional victims of the defect. GM also confirmed it settled a shareholder lawsuit over its handling of the matter — with two civil settlements collectively accounting for a $575 million charge on third-quarter earnings. That means the defect has cost GM more than $2 billion in fines and settlements, a figure that doesn’t include the cost of fixing 2.6 million recalled vehicles. GM CEO Mary Barra on Thursday apologized again for the company’s behavior and said she’s overhauled internal proce-

dures to encourage efficient communication and transparency. “We promised to take responsibility for our actions,” she told employees in a town hall meeting. “So we accept the penalties being announced today because that’s what it means to be held accountable. But apologies and accountability won’t count for much if we don’t change our behavior. We can be proud that we have.” The Justice Department will appoint a monitor to oversee the automaker’s recall processes for three years. Although no individual GM employees have been prosecuted, federal prosecutors noted in the settlement documents that GM had fired “wrongdoers.”

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

The Federal Reserve decision on interest rates have come and gone. So what should investors focus on now, given that the nation’s central bank on Thursday kept rates at 0% until at least their October meeting and maybe even December or next year? “The Fed is still probably going to hike rates later this year,” says Russ Koesterich, global chief investment strategist at BlackRock. He says over the next month the market’s “fixation is going to shift” away from Fed lift-off talk and toward figuring out how the U.S. and global economy is doing and what the outlook is for thirdquarter corporate earnings. “At end of the day, fundamentals will be a bigger deal than

whether the Fed’s policy rate is 0% or a quarter-point higher,” Koesterich says. “Is the economy growing? Are U.S. companies making their numbers? Investors are fixated on the wrong thing.” Sometime in the next six months the Fed will raise rates by a modest amount, says Koesterich. “The domestic U.S. economy is OK, and the risk is not the Fed,” he says. “The risk is whether the U.S. catches a bad cold or something worse from what’s going on in the emerging markets,” which have been hurt by slowing growth in China. On the topic of China, Koesterich doesn’t think China will drag down the global economy in the next six to nine months. The reason: Unlike the U.S. central bank, China is “not out of bullets” and “can afford to spend a lot of money,” and its central bank can loosen policy.

Pay attention to bonds and REITs in your portfolio Q: The Fed is stalled. What’s next? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The Federal Reserve bowed to market pressure and left short-term interest rates untouched. The danger of higher rates is off the table for now — but is still a risk for investors to deal with. In the short term, expect many of the stocks hurt ahead of the meeting to behave better. The clearest example are real-estate investment trusts. These companies, which own mainly commercial real-estate, attract investors with market-beating dividens. Higher rates were a danger to these stocks as they would make their dividends relatively less attractive. Shares of the Vanguard Real Estate Investment Trust exchangetraded fund gained 1.1% Thursday on investors’ relief. Bonds, too, were strong Thursday as the risk of a rate hike is kicked down the can. It’s a reminder that bonds and REITs continue to be solid investments that should be part of most portfolios. But investors are right back where they were. The Fed signaled it still expects to take short-term rates up this year. Eventually, investors will start to handicap the odds of an increase. Once interest rates do rise, history tells investors stocks in emerging markets, energy, consumer goods and utilities could be attractive. The bottom line: Stay diversified, especially during times of Fed movement.

U.S. moves to expand tax-evasion investigation to Belize Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

U.S. authorities have targeted Belize-based banks in a new expansion of their hunt for Americans suspected of evading taxes by hiding income and assets in offshore accounts. A federal court in Miami on Wednesday approved special “John Doe” legal summonses seeking information about U.S. taxpayers who may hold undeclared accounts at Belize Bank International Limited or Belize

Bank Limited. The court order gave federal investigators authorization to seek records of so-called correspondent accounts the Belize banks maintain at Bank of America and Citibank. Information from those accounts, which enable foreign banks without a U.S. presence to handle transactions in U.S. dollars, is expected to help the IRS identify U.S. taxpayers who hold or held accounts at the Belize financial institutions. “These John Doe summonses will provide detailed information about individuals using financial institutions in Belize and, to the

extent funds were transferred, other jurisdictions,” acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline Ciraolo said. An IRS legal declaration said Belize Bank Limited is incorporated and based in the Central American nation and directly owns Belize Bank International Limited. Another company, Belize Corporate Services, provides so-called “shelf” corporations, paper companies that can be named as purported owners of offshore accounts. All three entities are corporate subsidiaries of BCB Holdings Limited, according to the IRS

declaration. That declaration described a federal revenue agent’s review of information gathered from Americans who came forward under a voluntary IRS disclosure program and provided information about accounts they once held at the Belize banks. The court action marks federal investigators’ latest use of the special summonses to compel account disclosures by offshore banks suspected of helping wealthy American clients evade U.S. taxes. The IRS previously used the tactic to pursue account data from banks elsewhere around the world, including Swit-

zerland’s Zurcher Kantonalbank, Bermuda-based N.T. Butterfield & Son and London-headquartered HSBC’s India division. U.S. investigators also won court approval in 2009 to serve John Doe summonses on Swiss banking giant UBS — the initial target in the continuing federal crackdown on offshore tax evasion. UBS ultimately turned over information on an estimated 4,450 American clients. The bank, Switzerland’s largest, also paid a $780 million fine under a deferred prosecution agreement after acknowledging it had helped clients avoid U.S. taxes.

Emmys always leave room for surprise It could be a year for the new kids on the block

With the Emmys, you never know when the new is finally going to overtake the old. There is certainly a lot of “new” to behold at this year’s awards on Fox (Sunday, 8 ET/ 5 PT), hosted by Andy Samberg. Amazon NEWS & and Netflix play an VIEWS ROBERT expanding role in the BIANCO nominations; new shows such as Better Call Saul, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Transparent hope to take their place with the winners; and new rules have abolished judging panels and opened the voting to the entire membership of the Television Academy. Will that all be enough to stop Modern Family from claiming a record sixth consecutive Emmy for best comedy, or stop fourtime winner Mad Men from reclaiming the best-drama prize it last won in 2011? Odds are the answers are “yes” and “no,” and in that order. While you never want to discount inertia as an Emmy voter’s default position, there’s a palpable sense that the time has come to move on from Modern. That doesn’t mean there’s been a drastic drop in the show’s quality or that it’s no longer one of TV’s best. But there are newer good shows out there, and while Modern would still be a deserving winner, it’s time to let some other comedy share the Emmy love.

URSULA COYOTE, AMC

Sunday could prove to be a breakout night for Bob Odenkirk and his Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul. The best choice for a successor is Silicon Valley, a terrifically funny series that best matches Modern’s combination of brains and heart. But the best guess is that voters will go with Veep, which had a very strong season and has spent a few years waiting in the wings. And while you’d be unwise to rule out the reliably, eccentrically brilliant Louie, or the sentiment behind a now-departed Parks and Recreation, those looking for a spoiler should turn to Transparent, assuming voters can look past the fact that it’s only marginally a comedy. On the drama side, the absence of frequent winner Breaking Bad makes for a very a hard call — one that would have been even harder

had The Good Wife and Justified been nominated, as they should have been. Voters can pick Saul to stay in Bad company, or can choose Homeland to reward it for recovering its footing after an off year. Or they could finally go with Game of Thrones, though the growing drumbeat against the show’s treatment of women may have stalled whatever momentum it was gathering. My choice would be Saul, but I suspect voters will give a valedictory Emmy to Mad Men. Don’t put money on that, though, because just when you think you know what they’re going to do, they find a way to surprise you. And there’s nothing new in that.

Take steps to ensure home is safe and secure while you’re away By Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

Few things are worse than returning from vacation to find your home had unwelcome visitors. While we spend a lot of time planning a trip, it is easy to neglect a plan for your home’s safety until the last minute. Here is a checklist to help keep your home as safe as possible in your absence: • Lock all doors and windows, including garage and upstairs windows. Replace any broken locks and place a heavy wooden dowel in sliding door tracks in addition to the lock. If you have a garage attached to the residence, make sure to lock the door leading from the garage to the house. • Stop all mail and newspaper

delivery, or ask a friend, neighbor or family member to bring it into your home each day. (They can also make sure everything is secure inside.) • Close all the curtains and blinds, and set timers on at least one light and one television to give your home a lived-in appearance. Consider installing a motion-detecting light outside your home.

sidewalks are shoveled in the winter, and the grass is mowed in the summer. Ask someone to keep up with these tasks while you’re away. • If you’re leaving a vehicle at home, remove any valuables and lock the doors, even if it is in the garage. Another good idea is to ask a neighbor to park in the driveway while you are gone.

• If you have an alarm system, let someone on your callback list know you will be gone. Then if the alarm sounds, the callback person will be prepared to meet the police at your home.

• Don’t leave house keys hidden outside. Give them to a friend, neighbor or family member instead for emergencies. Give this person’s contact information to the alarm company incase of a problem.

• Make sure the driveway and

• If you will miss trash

collection day, have someone take your cans to the curb and then take them back in once the garbage is picked-up. • Move valuables (jewelry, coins, important papers, etc) to a safety deposit box or fireproof safe. • Unplug computers, televisions and any appliance that would be damaged by a power surge. Shut off the water to your washing machine. (The hoses are notorious for breaking and causing a flood.) Also, clean out your refrigerator. • Don’t change the message on your answering machine. Look in your owner’s manual to learn how to check

messages from an outside phone. • Make sure your address can be seen clearly from the street for emergency service personnel. Also, keep your trees trimmed up to seven feet and shrubbery trimmed down to three feet to provide a clear line of sight to see possible criminal activity. • Sign up for property checks by the Lawrence Police Department by filling out the online form at http://police. lawrenceks.org/content/ property-checks-lkpd. — Linda A.

Infante’s 7 RBIs lead KC to win Cleveland (ap) — As Omar Infante prepared for a postgame TV interview, teammate Salvador Perez dumped a bucket of Gatorade over his head, soaking Kansas City’s second baseman to the bone. Well, that finally cooled him off. Infante drove in a career-high seven runs and the Royals overcame some early sloppiness for an 8-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. A veteran infielder making his first start in 11 days, Infante hit a three-run homer in the second inning off Corey Kluber (8-14), added a two-run double in the fifth after the Indians pulled their ace and hit a two-run single in the seventh. Infante also had a sacrifice and nearly matched the offensive output of teammate Mike Moustakas, who set a team record with nine RBIs on Saturday against Baltimore. Needing a triple to hit for the cycle, Infante lined out to center field in the ninth. Afterward, he treated his big night like it was nothing unusual. “I’m grateful for the chance to play,” Infante said. “It felt good.” Yordana Ventura (12-8) went five innings, retiring struggling All-Star Jason Kipnis with the bases loaded to end the fifth as the AL Central-leading Royals, who had three errors in the first three innings and four overall, split the four-game series. Kansas City won for just the fourth time in 13 games. Infante has hit two homers this season — both in Cleveland. “I get lucky in this park,” he said, laughing. “I put some good swings on the ball here.” The Indians didn’t make up any more ground in the wild-card race. They came in trailing Houston by four games for the second spot. Cleveland loaded the bases in the ninth, prompting Royals manager Ned Yost to bring in closer Greg Holland, who gave up a sacrifice fly but got his 32nd save. Kluber started for the first time since Aug. 29 after being sidelined with a hamstring injury. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner allowed two runs and five hits in four innings, settling in after Infante’s homer. But as soon as Kluber left, the Royals pounced on left-handed reliever Kyle Crockett, who gave up Eric Hosmer’s RBI double that put Kansas City up 4-2. Jeff Manship came on for Cleveland but walked Alex Rios, and Infante followed with his double to make it 6-2. Infante’s second double pushed Kansas City’s lead to 8-3 in the seventh. “We just made some mistakes to Infante tonight,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “When we got it where we needed to we were OK, but when we didn’t he killed us.” With a large lead in the division, the Royals have been on cruise control lately and not playing as well as they did earlier in the season. They didn’t start out smoothly in the series finale, committing three errors — two on pretty routine grounders — in the first three innings.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER JOE DINEEN JR. watches the video board while the Jayhawks offense takes over on the field against South Dakota State on Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium.

Dineen aims to rebuild tradition By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Though obviously essential, preseason football practices can get a bit repetitive. The drills. The heat. The lack of Saturday payoff in the form of a game. Even Kansas University linebackers coach Kevin Kane, while in the midst of August camp, went as far as to compare it to the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day.” The players wake up, practice and do it all over again. On repeat. But sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. needed the ceaseless preparation. As both Kane and first-year KU head coach David Beaty pointed out before the 2015 season began, the Lawrence native and Free State High product missed spring practices due to a shoulder injury. For Dineen, August had to be spring and fall camps, all rolled into one. During his first year suiting up for his hometown program, Dineen moved to running back from safety when

injuries depleted KU’s group of ball carriers. A return to defense under a new head coach along with a move to linebacker provided the 6-foot-2, 212-pound sophomore plenty of incentive to attack his preseason work with intensity. Plus, Kansas lost its top two linebackers from 2014 — Ben Heeney and Jake Love — so the lure of making a real impact felt all the more obtainable for Dineen. “Any time you’re gonna get the opportunity to play, it’s really exciting,” Dineen said. “But you know you have to come in and work every day. Nothing’s handed to you, so you have to show out every day.” Dineen’s labor got him on the field for KU’s opener against South Dakota State, and he delivered one of the game’s biggest hits by pressuring Jackrabbits quarterback Zach Lujan into a thirddown incompletion — while cleanly knocking the helmet from the QB’s head. A week later, Dineen started the first game of his career versus Memphis. Through two Kansas losses, the soph-

omore has four solo tackles and a team-leading two quarterback hurries. As a local boy, Dineen grew up watching KU football. He can recall 10 years ago sitting in Memorial Stadium and watching Kane and Nick Reid fly around to make plays from the linebacker position. “They were tough. They played through pain, they played hard,” Dineen said of KU’s two leading tacklers in 2005. “That’s what we want KU football to be again. Just tough, hard-nosed kids that will just outwork everybody.” Now a KU assistant, Kane doesn’t always bring up the past. But when Reid visited camp in August and spoke with the Jayhawks, referencing that era — when winning was more common — became obvious. “I think it’s something we still need,” Kane said, “and guys are getting day by day that much tougher. When things were rolling here at KU, I think that the linebacker corps has been a huge part Please see DINEEN, page 3C

Lawrence High football players don’t need to be reminded of their past games against Free State. The LHS seniors are still looking for their first victory against their crosstown foes. The Lions hope to change their luck and keep their undefeated record intact during the City Showdown at 7 tonight at Free State. The Firebirds have won seven of the last eight matchups, with their last loss in 2011. “Real excited. This is the game you really look forward to all year,” LHS senior linebacker and tight end Price Morgan said. “Crosstown rivalry … it doesn’t get much better than this.” The Firebirds (0-2) are focused on fixing the mistakes that have haunted them in their two losses — by a combined 12 points. They’ve had four touchdowns called back by penalties and four turnovers. “We go out and do those things, eliminate the mistakes we’ve been making, then if the other team beats us, so be it,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “We don’t want to put ourselves in a position where we beat ourselves again.” The Lions (2-0) aren’t taking the Firebirds lightly, no matter their record. LHS coach Dirk Wedd called the Firebirds, “the best 0-2 football team in the state of Kansas,” and the Lions know how talented they are after most of them played together growing up. “They’ve played a tougher schedule than us, and we know what their team is capable of,” LHS senior receiver and cornerback J’Mony Bryant said. “We’re getting ready for them.” In last year’s City Showdown, the Lions only trailed by four points in the fourth quarter before the Firebirds scored on three straight possessions. Their biggest challenge will be containing Free State senior dual-threat quarterback Bryce Torneden and running back Sam Skwarlo, who rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown last week.

Chiefs fumble away chance to beat Denver

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs every way imaginable over the years, from playoff shootouts to defensive tugof-wars. Well, not quite every way. Not until Thursday night. Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles’s second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds left, completing a stunning comeback in the closing minute for a 31-24 victory — the Broncos’ seventh straight over their AFC West rivals. “I’m not quite sure I’d ever been in one quite like that,” Manning said. “That was a new one.” Please see ROYALS, page 11C Manning threw for 256

yards and three scores, the last to Emmanuel Sanders with 36 seconds left as the Broncos (2-0) appeared to force overtime. But on the next play from scrimmage, with the Chiefs (1-1) also eyeing overtime, Charles was stripped by Brandon Marshall and the ball bounced right into Roby’s hands. The dramatic about-face came after Knile Davis gave Kansas City the lead with 2:27 left on an eight-yard run, raising hope among a sellout crowd that the Chiefs might finally end some curses. Instead, Denver won its 13th straight division road game, breaking a tie with the San Francisco 49ers

That mammoth intercollegiate athletic conglomerate better known as the Texas Longhorns fired its athletic director earlier this week after only 22 months on the job. Unofficial reason for dismissal: Arrogance. University president Greg Fenves told reporters after AD Steve Patterson’s ouster: “If I had to put it in a nutshell, we’re concerned about our fans and how they view the program.” Sadly, arrogance has become an epidemic in college football and not just in Texas, where Patterson attempted to suck as much money as he could from the pockets of loyal fans by raising season-ticket prices up to 21 percent after the Longhorns went 6-7 last season. The announced crowd of 86,458 for Saturday’s home opener against Rice was well below the stadium capacity of 100,119. Everything may be bigger in the State of Texas — including ego and hubris — but don’t kid yourself: I’ve heard local fans from Florida, Florida State and even UCF complain about how arrogance has infiltrated their programs. How is college football’s arrogance turning off fan bases? Let me count the ways: Playing games on Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night and Friday night to accommodate TV networks: Who cares if the vast majority of your season-ticket holders and students have to get up and go to work or school the next day, right? Raising ticket prices: With a growing number of empty seats at college stadiums across the country, who decides it’s a good idea to increase the cost of attendance? Building bigger stadiums: When it’s becoming a nationwide trend for an increasing number of fans and students NOT to attend games, Texas A&M just spent $450 million to renovate and expand its stadium to seat 102,000. When are colleges going to get smart and start decreasing seats and increasing fan amenities like the NFL does? Recruiting creeps and criminals and bringing them onto campus under the guise of “giving a poor, downtrodden kid a second chance.” Ask the Baylor female student who was raped by a Baylor football player if she believes the player deserved a second chance after getting kicked out of Boise State? College campuses are supposed to be a place for the best and the brightest, not a halfway house for miscreants and malcontents. Playing the College Football Playoff semifinals this year on New Year’s Eve (Thursday night) when most normal people are partying and spending time with friends and family: The pomposity becomes even more amplified when you hear College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock say, “I really feel like we’re going to change the culture of New Year’s Eve in the country. People are going to have to have television sets at their New Year’s Eve parties.” And, yet, despite all of these faults, college football continues to make more and more money thanks to the almighty TV dollar while the fans who attend games are becoming less and less important — like props in a network-generated TV show. Maybe someday college football will implode from the weight of its own selfimportance, but until then it is exploding because of the proliferation of cable television. As somebody wise once said, “Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way.” Translation: Hook ’em Horns!

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Blue-chip forwards visit today By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball team, which will lose at least three frontcourt players in seniors Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor and Hunter Mickelson after the 201516 season, welcomes a pair of blue-chip high school forwards to campus today for weekend recruiting visits. They are: Udoka Azubuike, a 6-foot-11, 260-pounder from Potter’s House Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, who is ranked No. 27 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, and No. 118-rated Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-8, 210-pounder from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High. Azubuike, who is a prime recruiting target of Florida State, also has heard from coaches from Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Cal, Auburn and Florida. He does not have an official list of schools and has yet to set up visits to any school besides KU. The powerful Azubuike — he’s known for his vicious dunks, blocked

shots and physical presence down low — was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and grew up in Delta State, Nigeria. A youth soccer standout, he started playing basketball in 2012. Azubuike was discovered at a Basketball Without Borders clinic by a coach who knows Steven McLaughlin, the coach at Potter’s House Christian. “It was complicated and hard for me because I didn’t understand any of the rules,” Azubuike told thrivesports.com of his start in basketball. “But I watched a few Michael Jordan DVDs, and started to play a little and I started to like the sport. “I try to watch as much basketball as I can now,” Azubuike added to the website. “I watch Dwight Howard a lot. He plays like me, so I try to watch him and learn. I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, to go to college and play (in NBA),” added Azubuike who told catsillustrated. com he also watches tape of Hakeem Olajuwon and Jahlil Okafor. Azubuike averaged 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game for the Georgia

Stars in the Nike EYBL this summer. His team, which included junior standout Wendell Carter, won the Nike EYBL finals. “He’s just a monster,” Carter, a 6-10 junior from Atlanta’s Pace Academy and the No. 1 player in the Class of 2017, told the Louisville CourierJournal. “If I catch it in the high post and he’s asking for it, I’m going to give it to him because I know that’s two points or they’re going to foul him. He’s a beast. That’s all I can say.” “I’m a power player,” Azubuike told the Courier-Journal. “Sometimes when I get really mad in games, I really pull down the rim. I just try to prove that I’m unstoppable.” Of his eventual college choice, he told catsillustrated.com: “I’m looking for a program that uses the big a lot. Try to give it to the big and try to get the big better, work on the big and stuff like that.” Lightfoot, who averaged 17.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.8 steals and 4.8 blocks last season for Div. II Arizona state champion Gilbert Christian, has a fi-

nal list of five, including two schools he’s mighty familiar with — KU and Arizona. Lightfoot was born in Kansas City, Missouri, moving to Arizona when he was 6. He was a KU fan at the time of the move, which meant last Sunday’s in-home visit from KU coach Bill Self classified as a dream come true. “My mom, while in the middle of things during the in-home visit, said, ‘Mitch, pinch me,’’’ Lightfoot told Jayhawkslant. com. “I mean, coach Self was in my kitchen this morning eating breakfast with us. I was like, ‘Okay. Well, that’s awesome.’ We were watching the Chiefs game and just having a good time together. How many times does that happen?” Lightfoot also knows everything about Arizona’s program, having attended Ironwood High School in Tucson until his junior year when he moved over to Gilbert Christian, an hour and half from U of A’s campus. He’s to visit Arizona on Oct. 10. “Coach (Sean) Miller has brought it to where

football is more mental than physical. “If you feel you’re gonna be that top dog out there, more times than not you probably will,” said Kane, who had 79 total tackles, two interceptions and a touchdown in his senior season. “If you go out there confident, you know what you’re doing, have fun, it’s gonna carry over.”

With Kane (from Rockhurst, in Kansas City, Missouri) and Reid (Derby) both arriving at KU as nonelite recruits from nearby, Dineen sees a blueprint he can easily follow. “They just came in here with a lot of heart, worked hard and turned the program around,” Dineen said. “I think that’s what all of us want to do here at KU.”

Kansas soccer defeats Arkansas in overtime

Fayetteville, Ark. — After going more than four seasons without coming from behind to win a match, Kansas University’s soccer team did it for the second time in two games, defeating Arkansas, 2-1, Thursday in

every program in the nation wants to be — a title contender,” Lightfoot told Goazcats.com. “He’s a great coach and he has a great facility.” Lightfoot, whose other finalists are Stanford, Utah and St. John’s, had a breakout summer on the AAU circuit, playing for Arizona Power Black. “I think I found the next Sam Dekker. Even same haircut. His name: Mitch Lightfoot,” ESPN’s Jeff Goodman wrote in July after watching Lightfoot at an AAU tourney. Noted ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla to Sporting News: “If Mitch were to have a Sam Dekker college career, I think he would be very happy with that. Sam is a little bigger. Mitch might be a little more explosive, but I think being compared to Dekker is just a testament to what people think about Mitch. I told him to continue to work on his ball handling and his ability to play away from the basket so he doesn’t get locked into one spot. I think at the college level he’s going to be a small forward. His athleticism is off the charts.”

the third minute of the first overtime period with a header from senior Ashley Williams. The Jayhawks, who went to extra time for the fourth time in their last five matches, posted backto-back wins in overtime matches for the first time in program history.

Fraschilla added: “He’s athletic. He’s got good basketball skills, a great work ethic, a great personality and he’s definitely a guy who has opened some eyes. All the basketball stuff is great, but his personality is just the icing on the cake for a guy like him. He’s been one of the more popular kids at the camp (that Fraschilla attended in July) because he always has a smile on his face. You can laugh and joke with him, but he’s been in all the extra skill sessions trying to get better.” For a video of Azubuike, go to http://ljw. bz/1KukDwo.

TCU starter to miss season: TCU junior forward Kenrich Williams will undergo microfracture knee surgery today and miss the 2015-16 season, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Thursday. He averaged 8.6 points and 6.7 boards a game last season. Without Williams, TCU, which went 18-15 last season, has two returning starters in Chris Washburn and Karviar Shepherd.

The Razorbacks’ Claire Kelley opened scoring with a header for her fourth goal of the season. KU freshman Anna Courtney’s second goal of the year tied the game at 1, where it remained at halftime. The win moved Kansas to 4-4-1 on the year.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Butler boosts Oakland The Associated Press

American League Athletics 4, White Sox 2 Chicago — Billy Butler hit a three-run homer in the ninth off David Robertson, and Oakland rallied past Chicago on Thursday. Chicago was leading 2-1 heading into the ninth, but Robertson (64) blew his seventh save in 36 chances when he allowed a double to Brett Lawrie, a single to Danny Valencia and Butler’s 13th homer. White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia jumped at the wall and appeared to catch Butler’s drive, but the ball fell out of his glove and into the Oakland bullpen as he hit the fence. Sean Doolittle (1-0), the third A’s reliever, pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth. Rookie starter Sean Nolin allowed two runs and five hits in five innings in his third start since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Sept. 4. White Sox starter Jose Quintana pitched crisp four-hit ball through seven innings, and Mike Olt homered for the second straight day. Quintana allowed one run, struck out six and walked only one. In his last 20 innings, the lefthander has allowed only two earned runs on 15 hits, while fanning 16. Chicago’s Matt Albers pitched a perfect eighth before Robertson came on. Marcus Semien also drove in a run for the Athletics. Lawrie went 3-for-4. Olt homered for the second time with the White Sox.

Angels 11, Twins 8 Minneapolis — Mike Trout hit a grand slam and a solo shot to set a career high for home runs in a season with 38, and Los Angeles beat Minnesota. The reigning AL MVP’s grand slam in the second inning erased most of an early 5-0 deficit, and he led off the fourth with his second homer of the game. Taylor Featherston and Chris Iannetta also homered, and Huston Street picked up his 36th save for the Angels (74-72), who pulled within 21⁄2 games of Houston in the race for the second AL wild card. Torii Hunter and Aaron Hicks went deep for the Twins (75-71), who trail the Astros by 11⁄2 games in the crowded AL playoff race.

National League Cubs 9, Pirates 6 Pittsburgh — Anthony Rizzo started a six-run fifth inning with his 30th homer, and Chicago rallied past Pittsburgh to take three of four games between NL playoff contenders. The Cubs moved within two games of the wildcard leaders. Should the teams end up tied at the end of the regular season, Chicago would have home-field advantage, having won the season series with 10 wins in 16 games. The Cubs turned a 4-3 deficit into a 9-4 lead with the fifth-inning outburst.

BRIEFLY LHS soccer falls to SMNW Shawnee — Lawrence High’s boys soccer team scored its first goal of the season but lost, 2-1, at Shawnee Mission Northwest on Thursday. The Lions (0-5) scored in the second half when senior Brennan Davies knocked in a goal, assisted from senior Piper Hubbell. LHS will play host to Shawnee Mission West at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR EDUARDO CARBALLIDO FLORES, LEFT, STRUGGLES TO GET TO HIS FEET as Olathe Northwest goalkeeper Charlie Holmgren dives over teammate Jose Hernandez to cover the ball during their soccer match Thursday night at FSHS. ONW won, 1-0.

Lapse costs FSHS again, 1-0 By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

For the second straight game, a failed clearance proved costly for Free State’s boys soccer team, as the Firebirds fell to Olathe Northwest, 1-0, Thursday at FSHS. ONW’s Wyatt Fowler connected from 15 yards out with 45 seconds left in the first half for the game’s lone goal and dropped Free State to 2-2. “We’re getting sick and tired of watching that happen,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “I just need somebody to be able to get a foot on that ball and get it away, and maybe it’s a different story. We thought we played well enough again, playing two quality opponents back-to-back, to get a better result than what the scoreboard reflects.” The Firebirds lost a heartbreaker in double overtime on Tuesday against Shawnee Mission Northwest, when a failed

clearance turned into an own goal to give the Cougars a 1-0 victory. Outside of the defensive lapse late in the first half Thursday, sophomore defender Charlie Newsome saw signs of improvement from the FSHS backline. ONW caught the Free State backline out of position in the 27th when Chase Klusman had a breakaway opportunity, but Newsome was able to stay even with him, and FSHS junior goalkeeper Jonathan Lesslie came out of the goal to help force an errant shot. “I was thinking of everything my coaches taught me,” Newsome said. “I was making sure he didn’t get by me, and that’s all.” Newsome and the FSHS defenders had their hands full with marking ONW midfielder Connor Jokerst and forward Griffin King. Jokerst ripped a shot off the crossbar less than 10 minutes in, but the

majority of the Ravens’ 14 shots came from outside of the 18-yard box. “When they are right to you, it gives you a lot of time to think about it,” Lesslie said. “It also gives them the opportunity to place it, and you just have to go out and dive for it. As long as you just get your body behind it, you should be able to save it.” Senior Will Laufer dropped back from his midfield position to help the FSHS defenders. Laufer said that the Firebirds did a good job of handling the Ravens in their attacking third but that FSHS needs to generate some offense of its own. “We never were able to get into a good passing rhythm, but we did stick it out defensively.” Laufer said. “If we hadn’t had that lapse and bad pass in the back at the end of the first half, I think we would have been in it until the end.” While the Firebirds would have gone into

overtime again without the goal from Fowler, they would have been without Laufer. The senior midfielder was sent off with a red card with three minutes remaining following an aggressive tackle. Laufer and Barah were dismayed with the referee who gave Laufer the red. “Absolutely terrible call on that,” Barah said. “He (the referee) had a poor angle, so he couldn’t even see that it was literally a very fair and clean tackle.” The Firebirds will play at 7 p.m. Tuesday against Olathe North. What will it take from Barah and his coaching staff to get Free State back in the win column? “Probably some sleepless nights to draw up some stuff that is better for my team to be able to get chances in the attacking third and possibly finish some of those,” Barah said.

Free State tennis mixes it up, rolls By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High girls tennis coach Keith Pipkin saw Thursday’s dual against Mill Valley as an opportunity to switch up parts of the varsity lineup. It didn’t bother the Firebirds, who earned a 9-0 victory over the Jaguars at FSHS. Senior Caitlin Dodd and sophomore Ali Dodd won in No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively, while combining for an 8-4 victory at No. 1 doubles. Senior Rachel Walters, and freshmen Kate Piper, Kalia Fowler and Gabriella Gorman also added victories in singles. “It’s pretty much the middle part of the season,” Pipkin said. “This is pretty much the time when I’ve got to have my lineup set for the rest of the year because I need them for the majority of the matches. I changed some things up. “I was thinking about changing some people around. Everyone won, so, honestly, it just makes it harder because everyone did good.” The Dodd sisters, who earned a trip to the state tournament last year, have opened this season with an 11-1 record in doubles. They improved on their play at the net throughout the offseason and can cover a lot of ground on the court. Their play has also set an example for their teammates. “The Dodd sisters have pretty good leadership, especially Caitlin,” Pipkin said. “She’s the senior. She pushes everyone, be-

Leavenworth — Bishop Seabury Academy junior Jeong Shin scored two goals and lifted his boys soccer team to a 3-1 victory Thursday at Leavenworth Immaculata. Seabury junior Chris Cho added the other goal for the Seahawks. BSA will travel to Hyman Brand Hebrew at 4:30 p.m. Monday.

Seabury CC sixth, ninth Wellsville — Jack Edmonds placed 13th on the boys side, and Peggie Zeng was 24th in the girls race to pace Bishop Seabury Academy at the Wellsville Cross Country Invitational on Thursday. Eudora won both team titles. Jack Gerstmann placed second to lead the EHS boys, while Halle Norris was fifth to lead the Cardinals girls. Seabury’s boys placed ninth and its girls sixth.

is a big deal “This Showdown for us.” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

— LHS senior Price Morgan

“They’re explosive,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “Their skill is unbelievable. Torneden and Skwarlo, they’re really good football players but they’re even better kids. That means they are high-character people and they’re going to show up in a big game. That’s always a concern.” The Firebirds, who implemented a new defensive scheme this year, showed a lot of improvement last week against Olathe North, limiting touchdowns with their bend-but-don’t-break mentality when backed near the goal line. But they’ll receive one of their toughest tests in trying to slow down LHS senior running back JD Woods, who has rushed for 285 yards and scored eight touchdowns in two games this season. “We’re getting better at it,” Lisher said of the defense. “We’re not great at it, but as the game (last week) progressed,

we got better and we got more comfortable. That was a positive. We need to continue to do that. But we’re facing one of the best — if not the best — offenses around us. That’s going to be a big challenge.” Players from both teams have said there hasn’t been any trash talk between the two programs this week. They’re just focused on making sure they are at their best for the opening kickoff. “We’re talking about, ‘We cannot go 0-4 against these guys,’” Morgan said. “This is a big deal for us. I’ve been a part of the basketball team and we’ve been pretty successful against them the last couple of years and I really want that feeling to be transferred onto the football field.” Added Torneden: “We’re just excited for (tonight). Ready to prove some people wrong.”

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR RACHEL WALTERS HITS A BACKHAND during her No. 2 doubles match against Mill Valley on Thursday afternoon at FSHS. Walters teamed with Carter Stacey for an 8-3 victory. cause they all know they all have to compete with her. She’s pretty much setting the benchmark.” Despite playing mostly doubles this season, the Dodd sisters shined in their singles matches Thursday, showing their versatility on the court. “It’s definitely different, because you’re kind of by yourself, and you have to pump yourself up,” Ali Dodd said. “You just have to be ready for everything to cover the whole court. I like playing both, personally. But I feel like doubles is more of a team thing, and it’s fun having my sister there with me.” Walters combined with

junior Carter Stacey for a victory at No. 2 doubles, and junior Andrea Chen teamed with senior Dalma Olvera for a win at No. 3 doubles. The freshman Fowler, who won at No. 5 singles, didn’t show any nerves in her first varsity matches. “I served better today than I have been,” said Fowler, who said she needs to improve upon her consistency and not letting her opponents force her into tough shots. Pipkin added of the three freshmen playing in the top six singles spots: “I think the freshman class coming in and really making an impact is pushing everyone who

was already here. ... The freshmen, they are just competing. They are making it happen.” The Firebirds will play in the St. Thomas Aquinas Invitational at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Ex-husband should be good influence for son Dear Annie: My wife gave her ex (her son’s father) a key to our home without telling me. I found out when I got home and he was sitting in our living room surfing the web on my laptop. My wife says she gave him the key so he can let himself in on the three nights a month he’s scheduled to pick up their son for dinner as part of the custody agreement. But he has been making a lot of unscheduled stops at our house — to use the bathroom, have a snack, etc. I told my wife I don’t like this, but she said, “Don’t be selfish. It’s my home, too!” I spoke to this man politely and told him I don’t want him letting himself in, but he replied, “She says I can come over whenever I like.”

Am I being unreasonable about this arrangement? I thought married people are supposed to agree on things like this. It’s almost as though I have to share my home with this man, and he’s not even a helpful guest. He’ll eat a generous amount of food out of the fridge and leave dirty dishes in the sink. Last week, he bought his son a video game console and violent games, which my wife and I had pre-

Rolling Stones guitarist travels the U.S.A. Ready to drive through the crossroads with the devil himself? Directed by Morgan Neville (“20 Feet From Stardom”), “Keith Richards: Under the Influence” begins streaming on Netflix today. The death-defying Rolling Stones guitarist takes viewers on a road trip across America, celebrating musical legends and personal influences, including Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. We visit the home of Chess Records in Chicago and recording studios in Nashville and New York. Richards, whose voice still sounds like he was born with a three-pack-a-day habit, is joined by good friend and collaborator Tom Waits, another figure with a clearly distinctive delivery. As a film, “Influence” looks backward and forward. It is, after all, a promotion for the music Richards is still producing when the Rolling Stones are on break from their extensive touring schedule. He is busy for a 71-year-old who everyone assumed would die 40 years ago.

“American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS) profiles photographer Pedro E. Guerrero, who became one of the premiere chroniclers of architecture and art during the modernist period of the 20th century. He developed close friendships with Frank Lloyd Wright, Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson. He popularized the innovative buildings of Eero Saarinen, Edward Durell Stone, Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, Philip Johnson and others in popular magazines in the 1950s and ’60s.

Comedians Julian McCullough and Annie Lederman glance back at the week in popular culture and entertainment “news” on the new series “We Have Issues” (9:30 p.m., E!).

A detective (Arnold Schwarzenegger) goes undercover in a grammar school in the 1990 comedy “Kindergarten Cop” (7 p.m., TV Land). This week NBC announced that “The Terminator” star would replace Donald Trump as host of “The Celebrity Apprentice.” What will this “mentor” teach his “proteges”? How to be an action star and governor of California? The “Celebrity” part of the series has eclipsed its “Apprentice” nature. What, exactly, is the point? This isn’t “Hollywood Squares.” Or is it? Tonight’s other highlights

Murphy escapes on “Z Na-

tion” (9 p.m., Syfy).

Cult choice Abbott and Costello and the Andrews Sisters star in the 1941 service comedy “Buck Privates” (8:45 p.m., TCM), featuring the song “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” re-popularized by Bette Midler in the 1970s.

viously agreed would not be allowed in our home. Father and son will spend time playing games in his room when the boy is supposed to be doing his homework, sometimes late at night. I know the guy needs time with his kid, but there’s no reason why he can’t take the boy out to eat, to a movie or to a museum. The ex never made much effort to see his son until we married. This is my first marriage, and I’ve never had any kids of my own, so I’m not entirely sure how to handle it. But I teach high school, and I’ve seen one long sad parade of kids whose parents don’t maintain authority. So, Annie, what is the verdict? Should he have a key or not? — The Husband Dear Husband: Our vote is “not,” espe-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Sept. 18: This year you often seem to be holding back. You will be entering the first year of a new luck and life cycle shortly. If you are single, you easily could meet someone new who will have a big effect on your life. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from your lucky year. 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) With the help of a friend, you’ll blaze through your day and start the weekend early. Plans could change if travel is involved. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Allow others to voice their convictions and choices. You might wonder why they are heading in a certain direction. Tonight: Let your hair down. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will be looking forward to better interactions with an associate, but you might find certain facets of each other’s personalities to be annoying. Tonight: Become more of an observer. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Use your resourcefulness to get to where you want to be. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Consider slowing the pace as much as you can. Spending quality time with a loved one might be perfect. Tonight: In the moment.

cially since he abuses the privilege. It may be her house, but it’s also yours. And while it’s nice to be welcoming to her son’s father, he should not have the run of your home, dropping in unexpectedly and keeping his son up all hours. This is not responsible parenting. It is indulgence. Dad needs to be as diligent a parent as Mom. He cannot be a “fun dad” and do things Mom would not otherwise allow. This does a disservice to the child. Please ask your wife to get into family counseling with you to work on this. Also look into the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info). — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of an innate competitiveness and a desire to be in control. Issues could surround your home. Tonight: Make nice. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be over a problem and want to let it go. Be willing to say “no”. Tonight: Avoid a combative friend! Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be very intense — more than you realize — and might be evoking very strong responses, both negative and positive. Tonight: Use care with spending. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You sense a change coming. You know that you must handle certain matters. Tonight: Nap first, then see if you have energy left. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Even with all the uproar happening, you’ll get through what you need to. Use care with spending. Tonight: Make it an early bed time. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone whom you greatly respect. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of how much you need to stay uninvolved when dealing with a particular loved one. Tonight: Go for unusual.
