Judge: Order in voting suit applies to November

SCHOOL DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALAN RUPE, LEFT, PRESENTS HIS CASE in a school funding lawsuit at the Kansas Supreme Court Wednesday in Topeka. The hearing stems from a 2010 lawsuit brought by four school districts contending schools are underfunded by the state.

Justices suggest limited school finance fix Some advise focusing only on students who don’t meet standards

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Some justices on the Kansas Supreme Court suggested Wednesday that funding problems for the state’s public schools could be fixed with a narrowly tailored remedy focusing only on categories of students who are currently falling below state standards.

During oral arguments in the long-running school finance lawsuit Gannon v.

Kansas, Justice Dan Biles said the court only needs to focus on those students who are currently receiving an inadequate education.

“It seems to me that we’ve got ... two-thirds of the kids are flour-

“They’re meeting the standard that we set, the test for adequacy. So our focus, the

constitutional violation, is on that third. And we have to target any remedy that we want to do toward that one-third.”

Biles made that comment during a hearing that focuses on one aspect of the lawsuit —

“

and potentially the most expensive one: whether current funding for public schools is adequate under state constitutional guidelines.

Plaintiffs in the case, the Wichita, Kansas City, Hutchinson and Dodge City school districts, say it is not adequate, and they are hoping the court will order as much as $800 million a year in additional funding, money the state would be hard pressed to find without a substantial tax increase.

That’s how much more money they say the state would be spending today if it had kept up with inflation since about 2009, when the state began cutting education funds in the wake of the Great Recession.

“

I would suggest that this court retain jurisdiction, give direction (to the Legislature) and give them an ample amount of time to resolve the issue. That may be a legislative session. That may be too long.”

It seems to me that we’ve got ... twothirds of the kids are flourishing, a third are floundering. So it’s really none of the court’s business about the two-thirds.”

Topeka — A Kansas judge who had ordered the state to count the local and state primary election votes of some people who had not provided documents proving their citizenship said on Wednesday that his previous ruling remains in effect for the November general election.

Hendricks Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks heard arguments Wednesday over whether he should make permanent the temporary ruling that required Kansas to count those primary votes, but did not make a ruling from the bench.

Hearings start on whether to try teen as adult in slaying case

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A hearing to determine whether a 17-year-old boy accused in the stabbing death of his grandmother will be tried as an adult started Wednesday morning in Douglas County District Court.

The teen, Jaered Long, was arrested in late December after his grandmother, Deborah Bretthauer, 67, was found dead in her apartment on Dec. 28, 2015.

Long faces a single charge of first-degree murder in juvenile court. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, and in March prosecutors requested that he be tried as an adult.

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Dueling lawyers for the state of Kansas and the American Civil Liberties Union had interpreted Hendricks’ ruling differently, creating confusion.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who wants to toss the votes of those who have not proven their citizenship, told reporters after the hearing that the judge’s previous ruling only applied to the primary election, and he was awaiting a decision on whether it would apply to the November election.

The ACLU lawyers said it did apply to November.

After the hearing, The Associated Press asked Hendricks to clarify, and the judge said his earlier order stands until he issues a new decision. Hendricks had said previously that he feels strongly about protecting the right to vote.

“I hope he issues a permanent injunction, but if he doesn’t decide, the temporary injunction insures those votes are counted,” said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s voting rights project, which sued Kansas over the citizenship requirement.

The lawsuit was on behalf of three prospective voters who registered while getting their driver’s licenses without providing proof of U.S. citizenship. ACLU lawyers argued on Wednesday that all voters who registered this way should have their votes counted even if they didn’t provide the citizenship documents. Kansas is one of four states that have passed laws requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Federal courts had previously ordered Kansas in a separate case to count those votes in fed-

eral elections, but Kobach proceeded to try to set up a two-tier voting system that would count the votes in federal elections but not in state or local races.

Kansas says that 18,611 people registered to vote

by Sept. 1 at motor vehicle offices without providing citizenship papers.

About 50,000 could be affected by the time of the November election.

In a third lawsuit on Kansas voting laws, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia blocked Kansas, Georgia and Alabama from requiring residents to prove they are U.S. citizens when registering to vote for federal elections using a national registration form.

Hendricks’ decision in the ACLU will cover both those categories of voters — those who registered at motor vehicles offices and those who used a federal form — and did not provide proof of citizenship.

In a further complication, Kansas residents who did not register in those two ways will still have to provide citizenship documents to register to vote.

The League of Women Voters said Tuesday that as of August, Kansas had purged the registrations of about 6,570 prospective voters who had registered other than at the motor vehicle offices, most of them for not providing the citizenship documents within 90 days.

Kobach, a conservative Republican, has championed the proof-of-citizenship requirement as a way to prevent fraud by people in the country illegally. Critics contend such fraud is rare. They also say the requirement suppresses turnout because eligible citizens may not be able to immediately provide documentation such as a passport, birth certificate or naturalization papers.

“

I would say you cannot cannibalize from one group of students and have success with another group of students. You’ve got to lift all students.”

ljworld.com 645 New Hampshire St. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748

— John Allison, Wichita schools superintendent

That amount would be on top of the $4.7 billion in total K-12 education spending the state has budgeted for the current fiscal year.

But in an earlier ruling in the Gannon lawsuit, the court said it will no longer judge school funding adequacy in terms of the cost of providing services. Instead, the court said in 2014 that it will judge adequacy based on the educational outcomes that public schools produce. Specifically, the court said it will focus on a group of outcomes called the Rose standards, named after a school funding case in Kentucky during the 1980s, which basically say students need to receive education in core subjects, including literature and the arts, that provides them with enough knowledge and skills that they can find employment and be full participants in their communities.

Currently, though, the only way Kansas has to measure achievement is the standardized tests students take each year in reading and math.

The most recent data available from those come from the 2015 tests, which showed 21 percent of all students in Kansas were performing below grade level in English language arts, and more than half of them were below the level considered to be on track for college or a career after high school.

In math, the numbers were even worse: 23 percent of all students were performing below grade level; and fully two-thirds, or 67 percent, were not on track for college or a career.

But a large number of those scoring below grade level fall into identifiable subgroups, such as children from lowincome families, English language learners, and certain racial and ethnic minority groups.

Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister, who argued the case for the state, said it was unrealistic to think that Kansas could bring 100 percent of its students up to the level of proficiency.

“What we know, your honor, is that all students will never achieve 100 percent proficiency,” McAllister said. “Humans

Wednesday morning Lawrence Police Officer Josh Leitner testified on his recollection of finding Bretthauer.

That December evening, Leitner testified, he responded to 1200 George Court for a stabbing call and found the apartment’s door slightly ajar.

Both Long and Bretthauer lived in the apartment. Long was 16 at the time.

Leitner said he and another officer entered the apartment and found Bretthauer lying in her bed in a pool of blood.

“We checked her pulse; she did not have one and her hands were cool to the touch,” he said. “This

have not yet figured out how to accomplish that.

No state accomplishes that. The federal government had that as a goal and repealed it in No Child Left Behind because they realized over time it was an unrealistic and unworkable goal.”

But Justice Eric Rosen insisted there should be some limit to the number of students allowed to fall below expectations.

“Obviously, if 32 percent of all students (are) in a certain category, you can’t argue that that’s adequately meeting the needs of the students under the Rose factors,” he said. lll

At one point, Biles suggested the Legislature may not need to increase overall base per-pupil funding across the board.

When Alan Rupe, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said the state needs to increase funding across the board, as the trial court panel had ruled in its opinion, Biles interjected.

“That seems wrong because it’s forcing the state to give money for the two-thirds that are already meeting the standards,” Biles said.

Outside the court hearing, though, several education advocates said it would be impractical to order additional money just for the students who are falling below the standards.

“You have to lift the whole boat,” said Wichita schools superintendent John Allison. “You have to take care of the entire needs, and then be able to put those additional resources in place. If you look at a district like Wichita, with 75 percent of our kids eligible for free and reduced lunch, those homes of poverty, you’re looking at a sizable number of students.

I would say you cannot cannibalize from one group of students and have success with another group of students.

You’ve got to lift all students.” lll

In 2015, while the Gannon case was still pending, Kansas lawmakers repealed the old per-pupil funding formula that had been in place since

was not a person we could save.”

Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell testified Wednesday that he both visited the scene of Bretthauer’s death and performed her autopsy.

In all, Mitchell said Bretthauer suffered 34 injuries ranging from stab wounds to slices and abrasions. The fatal injury, he said, was a stab wound above her breast bone, which cut her heart and aorta.

“There are other injuries that could bleed, but that one is immediately not survivable,” he said.

Long was arrested soon after Bretthauer was found. Since then, two additional felony charges have been filed against him.

On both May 12 and June 9, Long was accused of battering a juvenile

the 1990s and replaced it for two years with a system of block grants that froze overall funding in place. They are expected to write a new funding formula in 2017, the session following this year’s elections.

The comments from Biles and Rosen, however, left open the possibility that the court may not order a specific remedy or a specific dollar amount of funding increase needed to meet the adequacy standard.

Instead, it could issue an order that simply says what kinds of outcomes need to be achieved in order to demonstrate that funding is adequate, and leave it to the Legislature to craft such a plan.

That’s essentially what Rupe asked the court to do, although he wants the court to order additional funding.

“I would suggest that this court retain jurisdiction, give direction (to the Legislature) and give them an ample amount of time to resolve the issue,” he said. “That may be a legislative session. That may be too long.”

McAllister, on the other hand, urged the court to reverse the trial court’s decision and declare current funding levels adequate. But if the court does find current funding unconstitutional, he too suggested handing the issue back to the Legislature with guidelines to let them know what it takes to meet the court’s standards.

State Rep. Melissa Rooker, R-Fairway, a moderate Republican who has campaigned for more funding, said she still believes additional funding will be needed.

“Common sense would tell us that if we cannibalize programs that are working and don’t infuse any additional dollars into the system, then that two-thirds majority that is achieving the proficiency levels that the standards call for will be hurt by that, and therein lies the never-ending hamster wheel,” she said.

“So I don’t think that’s an appropriate or intelligent decision to make.”

detention center employee. He faces two felony counts of battery against a law enforcement officer.

If Long is found guilty of first-degree murder in juvenile court, he could face a maximum sentence of 60 months in prison or to the age of 22.

If the motion to prosecute Long as an adult is granted and he is convicted, he could face life in prison.

Requests for the arrest affidavit in Long’s case regarding Bretthauer’s death were denied by Douglas County District Court.

The court proceedings are scheduled to last until Friday.

Longtime member leaves LMH board

BRIEFLY A University of Kansas alumnus’s gift of more than $2 million will boost faculty development in KU’s department of chemical and petroleum engineering.

John V. Bossi, who earned his bachelor’s degree at KU in chemical engineering in 1948 and died in 2015, directed the estate gift to the university, and a fund in his name has been established through KU Endowment, according to an announcement from KU Endowment.

Bossi was a World War II veteran who, after earning his degree, went on to work six years at Phillips Petroleum in Texas and Pritchard Company in Kansas City, Mo., according to KU Endowment. After his father had a heart attack, Bossi left his engineering career and took over the family farm near Arkansas City along with one of his brothers.

Siblings said Bossi’s love for KU was lifelong.

“He wanted to give to KU, where it could go toward providing a quality chemical engineering education, like he had,” Bossi’s brother Jim Bossi said in KU Endowment’s announcement.

DAN MCNICHOL, WHO HAS WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM, spent nearly two years on the road, driving a 1949 Hudson, in advance of the highway system’s 60th anniversary. Today, he says Americans need a new vision of transportation that is less reliant on roads and automobiles.

After 60 years of interstates, author looks to future of transit

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Three years ago, Dan McNichol set out on a journey across America’s highways, riding in the same kind of 1949 Hudson that Jack Kerouac supposedly drove in the journey he later chronicled in the classic novel “On the Road.”

But unlike Kerouac, McNichol wasn’t on a journey of self-exploration, and he wasn’t necessarily in search of the soul of America.

Instead, his “Low and Slow Tour” across the country was an exploration of America’s highway system, and the shape it is now in, 60 years after President Dwight Eisenhower signed the National Interstate and Defense

If you go Dan McNichol will speak from 7 to 8 p.m. today at the Linda Hall Library, 5109 Cherry St., in Kansas City, Mo. The event is free and open to the public, but attendees must register at lindahalllibrary foundation.org.

Highways Act. “I still marvel at what we’ve accomplished, what Eisenhower launched in 1956,” said McNichol, who has written extensively about interstate highways. “The system works really well, considering the neglect and considering the lack of investment.

It’s a remarkable low-

performing vehicle.”

He said that’s one of the reasons why he chose the 1949 Hudson for his journey, the “lead sled,” as it was known in its day.

McNichol is an award-winning author and journalist who is perhaps best known for his book “The Roads That Built America: The Incredible Story of the U.S. Interstate System,” published in 2006 to mark the 50th anniversary of the highways.

On Thursday, he will be the featured speaker at an event near the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus to kick off the opening of two new exhibits celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Interstate Highway System.

Wednesday’s Lawrence Memorial Hospital board of trustees meeting marked the 117th — and final — meeting for longtime board member Allen Belot.

Belot, who was first appointed to the board in 2005, was thanked yesterday for his “unparalleled” 11 years of service by current chair Cindy Yulich. Belot In his time on the board — surpassed, Yulich said, by only one other in the hospital’s history — Belot has remained uniquely dedicated to LMH and its larger role within the Lawrence community, hospital CEO Russ Johnson said.

“A lot of times, trustees bring expertise and knowledge and time and commitment to the table, and that’s critically important, and you bring that, too,” he told Belot Wednesday. “But it’s

also always been so clear ... how personal this is for you and how much this means to you for your community and not just for the prestige of the board.”

Belot, as he himself pointed out to his fellow board members, was born at LMH, where his father, the late Dr. Monti Belot Jr., served as chief of staff in 1948 and 1973. The elder Belot, who practiced medicine in Lawrence until his retirement (at age 85) in 1998, also helped to co-found the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association nearly 50 years ago.

In his 11 years on the LMH board, Belot has served as vice chairman and later, as chairman, from 2012 to 2014, in that decade-plus span serving on “every board committee there is,” Yulich said.

ECM says stolen Black Lives Matter banner returned

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The Black Lives Matter banner stolen from the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building Saturday has been returned, the organization said.

Loring Henderson, chair of ECM’s board of directors, said in an email that the banner was found Wednesday morning.

“We found it rolled up with an anonymous apology note at the front door of the ECM this morning,” he wrote.

It was not immediately clear whether any investigation into the reported theft will continue or if any arrests have been made.

In response to the reported theft, the Granada Theater posted “Black Lives Matter” on its marquee at 1020 Massachusetts St. The banner at the ECM was hung by a coalition of

faith-based groups on Aug. 28 as a reminder for all to challenge societal norms and to combat the ongoing oppression of minorities, Rev. Jill Jarvis of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lawrence said at the unveiling.

After the theft was reported, Graham Kreicker, a Lawrence resident, offered a $1,000 reward for “the individual or individuals that provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals that removed the banner.”

In a Facebook post Wednesday afternoon, The Granada said it decided to display “Black Lives Matter” on its marquee because it “should hopefully be a little harder to take down” than the ECM banner was.

Wyo. governor tops poll’s ‘indifference’ rating; Brownback least popular

T

he website Morning Consult published results of a new 50-state poll on Tuesday, once again ranking the nation’s governors according to their approval rating.

And yes, once again, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback came out as the least popular governor in America. But there’s another interesting factoid in the polling results that, when you see it, really makes you wonder how that could happen and what it really means.

Remember that in these kinds of polls, respondents are typically given three

Statehouse Live

Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

options: They can either approve of the governor’s performance; disapprove; or say they don’t know or

have no opinion.

If you go to the web page where the poll results are published, you can sort the results based on any of those three categories.

And if you click on the “don’t know/no opinion’ category, you find that Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead has the highest, for lack of a better word, “indifference” rating of any governor in the United States.

Nearly one in four registered voters (24 percent) in Wyoming who were surveyed said they really didn’t have much of an opinion one way or the other about Mead.

Overall, Mead ranked

right in the middle of the pack in terms of popularity, with 52 percent approving of his performance.

Mead, who is also a Republican, has been in office for as long as Brownback has. He won his first race with 66 percent of the vote and got 59 percent in his re-election bid.

Wyoming has, in fact, had some of the same kinds of budget shortfalls that have beset the Brownback administration in Kansas. State government in Wyoming operates on a two-year budget of about $3 billion, and this year state revenues could fall $240 to $510 million short

of projections, according to a press release from Mead’s office.

But unlike Kansas, Wyoming’s problems are more related to downturns in the oil, gas and coal industries. And while Wyoming does have a huge “rainy day” fund for just such emergencies, Mead has asked for some huge budget cuts that would be highly controversial in other states.

There are some who argue that’s a sign of success. After serving six years as Wyoming’s chief executive, apparently he hasn’t messed anything up so badly that it has

caused huge numbers of people to dislike him.

But Mead’s press secretary David Bush probably had the most plausible theory: It was a smallsample poll among only 127 respondents in Wyoming, leaving a margin of error of plus or minus 9 percentage points.

Meanwhile, Brownback ranked 44th on the indifference scale.

Only 6 percent of those polled in Kansas had no opinion about him.

County defers to health department on septic waste regulations

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Douglas County Commission deferred to the county health department regarding any changes to rules for applying septic tank waste to rural pastures.

The issue came before the commission after neighbors complained about an application of

septic tank waste, or septage, last spring on rural property northwest of Lawrence. County resident Penny Keelan Bowie said she was concerned about runoff to homes downhill from the site.

County code currently requires septage application be made in accordance to Environmental Protection Agency rules and bans its use on lands

used to produce crops for human consumption, which essentially limits its application to pastures, said Dan Partridge, director of the Douglas County Health Department. Regulations also stipulate such things as suitable water table depth, topsoil and slope.

Partridge said the County Commission has established septage rules,

but the health department was responsible for approving permits for applying the waste. He suggested the county look at adding an application setback of 500 feet from neighboring property lines.

Any proposed change would require the County Commission to have a public hearing and would have to be approved by

the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Partridge said.

County commissioners agreed that if the health department saw the need to change the current regulations, it should bring recommendations to them.

In other business, the County Commission: l Approved financial policy changes giving county department heads

authority to purchase up to $20,000 of commodities or services without prior approval or bids. The current cap on such purchases is $7,500. l Approved regulations regarding the construction of wireless towers on county right of way.

Purge troubling Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach should encourage voting and make it easier, not harder.

O

pen and free elections are a tenet of democracy. Participation in elections should be encouraged and celebrated. It’s too bad the state’s top elections official — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — has never felt that way.

The good news is Kobach’s hardline, proof-of-citizenship requirement for new voter registration isn’t faring well in state and federal courts. The bad news? Kobach’s office appears to be working as hard as possible to dismiss thousands of voter applications as possible before the courts can reverse Kobach’s approach.

That’s a shame.

The League of Women Voters said this week that Kobach’s office discarded some 6,570 voter registration applications between March and August because the applicants did not provide proof of citizenship within 90 days of applying. Kobach’s office did not comment on the League of Women Voters’ assessment, which was developed by comparing the lists of voter applications in suspension as of March with a similar list in August.

The purges occurred despite the fact that U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson in May ordered Kobach’s office to register for federal elections people who tried to register at motor vehicle offices without providing proper proof of citizenship.

Since Robinson’s ruling was limited to those who registered to vote at a driver’s license office, the League of Women Voters speculated that those whose applications were discarded from March to May belonged to people who had tried to register to vote at places other than the driver’s license office.

Marge Ahrens, president of the League’s Kansas chapter, noted that tossing out 6,570 voter applications is equivalent to denying a small Kansas town the opportunity to vote.

On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union, representing three Kansas residents whose voter registration applications were suspended by Kobach for lack of proof of citizenship, argued on behalf of its clients that their votes should count in all races, not just federal races as Robinson ordered. Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks already ruled that all votes be counted in the August primary. Wednesday’s hearing was to decide whether to extend that ruling to the November elections — and Hendricks did just that.

Court filings show that as of Sept. 1, there were 18,611 people who registered at motor vehicle offices without proof of citizenship. The state has said that as many as 50,000 people could be in that category by the November election.

In such an environment, it’s disappointing that Kobach’s office chose to discard more than 6,500 voter registration applications for people who might otherwise have been deemed eligible to vote.

Trump is a certain kind of artist We’ve called him many things. We pundits have overworked our thesauruses and our imaginations to describe Donald Trump.

Kathleen Parker called him “the biggest goofball ever to enter the Oval Office sweepstakes.”

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

He is a BS artist, a man who speaks most forcefully where he knows the least, and whose entire modus operandi is to bluff, bluster, boast and bully his way through whatever the subject or situation is.”

Nicholas Kristof called him “ill-informed,” “deceptive,” “vacuous” and a “crackpot.”

Yours truly called him “a tire fire in an expensive suit.”

But if there were a prize for getting it right, all of us would be runners-up to Fareed Zakaria. Last month, in a live interview on CNN and a later column in The Washington Post, he nailed Trump perfectly. The Republican candidate for president, he said, is “a bull---t artist.”

Yes, it’s a coarse and vulgar term. But there is no demure synonym that captures the man with such crystalline accuracy.

Donald Trump is not just a liar, a word that connotes strategic untruths told for expedience or advantage.

No, he is a BS artist, a man who speaks most forcefully where he knows the least,

and whose entire modus operandi is to bluff, bluster, boast and bully his way through whatever the subject or situation may be.

Think Cliff Clavin holding forth in “Cheers,” or Eddie Murphy rousting that redneck bar in “48 Hours.”

Perhaps the clearest proof of Trump’s BS artistry came last week when he conceded what intelligent people have known for years. “President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period,” he said. It was a terse, grudging statement at the end of an event at his hotel in Washington celebrating the glory of all things Trump.

“President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period.” Well, gee, thanks for clearing that up.

That this was ever a matter of controversy speaks volumes about the intellectual state of the Union.

That the majority of Republicans still doubt or disbelieve the president’s birthplace speaks volumes about the intellectual state of that party. That Trump

led this racist movement for five years, that he fanned its bizarre conspiracy theories and claimed to have hired private investigators to look into them, that he dumped the whole thing when it became political baggage, that he did not apologize for what he did, that he instead attempted to shift blame and to claim — lying through his teeth — that Hillary Clinton started it all, speaks volumes about the moral state of the would-be president.

Indeed, it provides redundant proof that there is no “there” there, no core values holding him together, unless you count the value of always doing whatever gratifies or advances Donald Trump and his ego in a given moment. Otherwise, he is formless, a cloud sculpted by the breeze, water taking the shape of the glass.

He is, transparently and obviously, exactly what Zakaria called him. And he is rising in the polls.

That ought to give you pause. Trump is not an

PUBLIC FORUM

Sit-in support To the editor: The recent editorial on the Black Lives Matter sit-in at the Lawrence City Commission meeting (“Sit-In Spectacle,” Sept. 9) did an admirable job of identifying several obstacles to social justice locally. These include racial disparities in Douglas County incarceration rates, and a lack of representation in local governance and law enforcement. To this list we might add problems of equity and inclusion in the local schools, and unfair employment practices throughout the city.

However, the editorial erred spectacularly by condescending to protesters about “appropriate” ways to demonstrate grievances about issues (which the editorial acknowledges are real) and disingenuously accusing them of creating racial animosities. Why is it reasonable to expect peace and civility in the face of persistent inequalities?

Historically, minority populations have achieved necessary reforms only when their members have upset business as usual, freed themselves from the expectations of respectability, and otherwise stepped “out of their place.” If there’s any legitimate criticism to make of the sit-in, it is that participants demanded nondescript statements of support for Black Lives Matter and the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, rather than actual policies from officeholders to address the specific living conditions of people of color in this city.

Volleyball favoritism

LAWRENCE

To the editor: Congratulations to the KU volleyball team for a great season last year and a great start this season. Unfortunately, many fans, as well as my friends who had season tickets for years, were not able to renew their tickets unless they were members of the Williams Fund.

To verify what I had heard, I called the ticket office and was told, and I quote, “So many Williams Fund People wanted tickets that this is how it worked out.” In my opinion, this is unfair to the people who

supported the team when they were less successful in favor of Band Wagon Fans with deep pockets. In my opinion, those fans who faithfully backed the team in the lean years were not rewarded for their loyalty. This does not send a good message to our student athletes regarding fair play and loyalty. The NCAA and athletic offices are profiting from student athletes and might as well pay them a stipend since it is all about the Almighty Dollar now.

I don’t want to insult anyone in the Williams Fund; I just believe in fair play and loyalty. Perhaps my feelings are naive and antiquated!

overly clever man and certainly not a subtle one. He does not hide what he is. Yet some of us are nonetheless drawn to what he is, to the way he validates their anger at all the faceless others — Muslims and Mexicans, gays and transgender, blacks and uppity women — whose rising has changed America.

They want “their” country back, and Trump, with the easy grin of a conscienceless man who stands for nothing and therefore, stands for whatever you need him to, promises to give it to them.

Just as he once promised them he’d once solve the “mystery” of Obama’s birthplace, only to unceremoniously abandon that promise when it became politic to do so. You’d think Trump’s acolytes would see a warning there. The stench of bovine excretions could not be more obvious.

But for them, apparently, change smells even worse.

From the Kansas Daily Tribune for years Sept. 22, 1866: ago l “The IN 1866 cold rain of the last few days had a very depressing effect upon the grasshoppers; indeed it was quite a ‘damper’ on everything. But yesterday forenoon, under the influence of the cheery sunshine, they resumed their wonted activity. Upon looking towards the sun, they could be seen by thousands, sporting high up in the air, and looking, as seen against the blue of the sky, like animated flecks of light circling around and ‘zigzaging’ hither and thither in rapid and confused motion.” l “The First Ice. – Ice formed in several localities on Thursday night. Some was an eighth of an inch in thickness.”

“So why not let me travel along these roads?” he asked. “People will argue that you can’t put a train on a road system on a right of way. But there are all sorts of creative ways if we allow to the fullest this thinking of putting other modes of transportation on those right of ways.”

McNichol said he is particularly excited about the challenge that presents to engineers. “If you give engineers a problem, I think they’re at their best. And here’s a problem,” he said.

But the real challenges, he said, will be the social and political ones.

“It’s simple. It’s very simple, and it’s very complex, because of the envi-

ronmental issues, because of the politics, the lack of political will,” he said. “But I see that changing.”

“The suburban sprawl model of going farther and farther out (with residential development) was about quality of life, or perceived quality of life,” he said. “... But I think that model now looks like, ‘I want to be able to spend time at home. I don’t want to be in a commute for two or three hours every day. I want to be near my work. I want to be able to bike and walk.’ The whole model of the car culture, the driveins, the curb-to-curb strip malls, I think are really unattractive for the coming generation.”

“It’s been one hell of a ride,” Belot said Wednesday. “Sitting on the board in 2005 and sitting on the board in 2016, the differences in the problems and complexity of what we’re dealing with now compared to 2005 is incredible.

But what I take away from this is that this board ... it’s

Interstates CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

His speech is scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Linda Hall Library, 5109 Cherry St., in Kansas City, Mo. One of the themes of that book was about how, for the previous half-century, the interstates came to form the very backbone of the American economy.

And in some ways, he said, they still do.

“The interstate system was the first internet,” he said. “The interstate system lays out the groundwork for what is now the digital age. You always need that brick and mortar, you always need asphalt and concrete to make the digital age work.

All of that shipping and sending, after the clicking, takes place almost always on the interstate system at some point.”

Although Eisenhower first envisioned the highway system as critical for national defense, he said, it soon became the bedrock of the American economy and the American lifestyle.

Virtually anything people in America touch today was carried, at least part of its way, across an interstate highway.

Interstates also paved the way for suburbs, making it possible for middleclass families to live far away from the cities or factories where they worked.

Sixty years later, though, McNichol said the interstate highways have become overburdened and, to an extent, obsolete, especially given what people now know about the impact that the burning of fossil fuels is having on the earth’s climate.

“We grossly over-invested in highways, in my opinion,” he said. “We are highway-centric, we are road-centric, and we are choking ourselves, literally and figuratively, with traffic.”

McNichol is still a big believer in the interstate system, and he still thinks the United States should continue investing in it to keep it in shape. But as the population and the economy of the U.S. grow, he says it’s time for the country to look beyond highways and to think more about other modes of mass transit.

“I don’t think people want to see wider roads even still, and to sit in traffic for longer periods of time,” he said. “Congestion, from my research and my work, seems to always be the instigator of real change.”

But McNichol said the shift to different modes of transportation doesn’t have to mean abandoning the highway system and starting over from scratch.

“The interstate system is a land bank. There’s an enormous amount of value, not just in road sys-

When it comes to demonstrating a mastery of policy, Hillary Clinton should be positioned to ace the first 2016 presidential debate Sept. 26.

Her long record in government service and self-described wonky love of policy detail give her a decided edge over her Republican rival, Donald Trump, a neophyte to politics who has often been light on specifics, such as how he plans to defeat the Islamic State and pay for his proposed tax cuts.

“We’re preparing for whatever Trump shows up,” communication director Jennifer Palmieri told USA TODAY. The Democratic presidential nominee’s challenge is to intercept his rhetorical jabs, highlight his controversial rhetoric and policies and encourage him to show flashes of his temperament.

Charred manuscript is one of oldest known copies of Torah Sacred text dates to third or fourth century Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

For decades, an object much like a burnt stick sat in storage in Israel, awaiting the day when its secrets could be divined. Researchers revealed that the blackened object is one of the oldest known copies of a text fundamental to both Jews and Christians.

Hidden within the charred manuscript are verses from the sacred text called the Five Books

of Moses. Also known collectively as the Torah, they are the foundation of Judaism and integral to Christianity’s Old Testament. To scholars’ astonishment, the newly divulged text is exactly the same, in both letters and format, as text in modern Torah scrolls read by most Jews.

The burned manuscript dates to the third or fourth century, according to chemical dating. The only older known Torah passages are found in the famed Dead Sea Scrolls. They date from the second century and earlier and deviate slightly from the version of the Torah read today, indicating they were written before the To-

Researchers considered analysis of the charred scroll “a shot in the dark,” Pnina Shor of the Israel

Antiquities Authority said at a news conference. “And so when this came back as a … flattened piece of material (that) looked

like a scroll, you can’t imagine the joy in the lab.”

Shor and her colleagues reported their findings in a study published Wednesday in Science Advances.

The scroll was discovered in 1970 in a Jewish village called En-Gedi, which was destroyed by fire around 600.

Inside the community’s synagogue, archaeologists discovered a Holy Ark, the cabinet where Torahs are stored.

“This is quite amazing for us,” said study co-author Emanuel Tov of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, “that in 2,000 years, this text has not changed.”

Kerry wants aircraft over Syria grounded U.N. plans to resume aid deliveries, though not to city of Aleppo Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

The United Nations said it would resume humanitarian aid deliveries in Syria as early as Thursday. Secretary of State John Kerry urged the grounding of all aircraft over parts of the war-torn country to allow supplies to reach civilians.

Jens Laerke, spokesman for the U.N. humanitarian aid agency, said Wednesday that “several” convoys are expected, but he did not specify where they would go.

He said none would go to the besieged city of Aleppo.

The United Nations suspended aid deliveries after an airstrike

Monday struck a convoy, killing at least 20 people.

Kerry told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that stopping the flights could restore trust in efforts to end the fiveyear Syrian civil war and “give a chance for humanitarian assistance to flow unimpeded.”

A cease-fire brokered by the United States and Russia that went into effect Sept. 12 is in grave jeopardy. Russia said it was not involved in Monday’s strike on a humanitarian convoy. In his speech, Kerry all but called Russia’s denials and explanations of the attack lies.

Kerry cited several contradictory statements from different Russian officials — including that damage to the convoy occurred because the cargo caught fire.

Secretary of State John Kerry speaks during a Security Council meeting Wednesday at U.N. headquarters.

gey Lavrov also addressed the Security Council, calling for a “thorough and impartial” investigation of what happened to the aid convoy struck Monday. The failing cease-fire was the fault of rebel groups that the United States had pledged to control, he said. Separating rebels from ter-

rorists is the only way to reach a settlement and resume a political dialog “without preconditions,” Lavrov said.

More than 20 of the 150 groups named as participants in the cease-fire “issued immediate and official statements ... asserting they would not fulfill the relevant agreements,” Lavrov said, according to Russia’s Tass News Agency.

Four aid workers were among at least 11 civilians killed Wednesday after a suspected government airstrike hit a medical clinic and other locations in rebel-held areas of Aleppo in northern Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based monitoring group.

Ibrahim Alhaj, a member of the volunteer first responders known as the Syria Civil Defense, said 24 people were killed in the Aleppo strikes, the Associated Press reported.

that she’s “weak” on terrorism, she’ll want to project an image of vitality and strength.

Polls showing a tight race underscore the imperative of going on offense against Trump.

Finally, she’s got to do it all while appearing more “likable.”

The unfavorable ratings of the candidates are similar (Clinton is at 56% and Trump at 54%), according to a CNN/ORC poll.

“It’s hard to be likable and be tough and strong,” said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster close to the campaign. In surveys in 2014 and 2015 by Burning Glass Consulting, one of Clinton’s challenges with women voters was a sense that she’s overly ambitious.

These pressures could be tricky to navigate, given the Clinton team’s recent focus on softening her image. The Democratic presidential nominee told a website called Humans of New York that she knows she “can be perceived as aloof or cold or unemotional,” because “I had to learn as a young woman to control my emotions.” She released a video highlighting her relationship with a breast cancer patient and has made herself more accessible to the media for questions.

An ABC News poll showed nearly a quarter of Americans say the debates will have a major impact on their choice for president.

FACTUAL FALLACY

Trump also has significant challenges — he’ll be pressed to articulate policy details in a way he hasn’t before. Yet Clinton can’t assume that Trump will self-destruct. “There were (many) Republicans who felt the same way,” Lake said, referring to his vanquished primary challengers.

Trump has made numerous false statements throughout the campaign. Politifact, in its semi-

annual review, rated 60% of Trump’s major claims false, to 13% of Clinton’s, including his repeated claim that he opposed the Iraq invasion before it happened.

Trump’s wide base of support suggests the public may have accepted his tendency to misstate the facts, said Ed Rogers, a Republican campaign consultant who served under President George H.W. Bush.

Clinton is a more experienced debater than Trump. “The bar is low for him and high for her,” said Rogers, who’s been critical of Trump. “He has to just not be an idiot.”

“He should be treated as an equal,” Palmieri said. “What I’m worried about is the low expectations, the grading him and judging him on a curve.”

It’s unclear whether or how often the moderators will correct him.

or Jennifer Robertstold CNN. “Violence is not the answer.”

The violence came one day after police shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott, 43, who police say was armed and ignored commands to drop his weapon. Scott’s family says the father of seven had a book in his hand. Word of the death stirred up anger in Charlotte and across the country.

In regards to the Wednesday night shooting, police responded to a call at about 8:30 p.m. and discovered a person with an apparent gunshot wound, police spokeswoman Cindy Wallace said in an email. The person was transported to Carolinas Medical Center, Wallace said.

As these details emerged, police in riot gear crowded downtown Charlotte as protesters shouted “hands up, don’t shoot,” banged against a police van and broke a window of the City Smoke barbecue restaurant and bar. Police set off smoke bombs, which are sometimes used to disperse crowds.

Sixteen police officers were wounded in the violence that erupted Tuesday night in this North Carolina hub after word of the shooting spread.

days, after the Russians said Syrian President Bashar Assad signed an agreement not to fly over certain areas, shows that flights over those areas must end, Kerry said.

“We need to get to the prohibition on flying, my friends,” Kerry said. “That would prevent Syria from doing as it has done so often in the past, which is to attack civilian targets with the excuse that it is going after Nusra,” al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise.

What Kerry described was limited to specific areas of Syria where the opposition is intermingled with Nusra. He did not mention any consequences for a violation or say anything about enforcement.

The idea of a no-fly zone to protect Syrian civilians from indiscriminate aerial attacks has been debated in the Obama administration for years. Supporters of the idea have included Hillary Clinton.

Whitney Skillen prays over a memorial Wednesday at the location where Keith Scott was shot by police in Charlotte. ference Wednesday, rejected claims Scott was holding a book, not a gun, and said the gun had been recovered by detectives. No book was found, Putney said.

“It’s time to change the narrative, because I can tell you from the facts that the story’s a little bit different as to how it’s been portrayed so far, especially through social media,” Putney added.

The shooting took place four days after a Tulsa police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man who was standing outside his vehicle. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch called for calm in both cities and across the nation. Lynch said the Justice Department opened a civil rights probe into the death of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa and was “assessing” Scott’s death.

“These tragic incidents have once again left Americans with feelings of sorrow, anger and uncertainty,’’ Lynch said. “They have

once again highlighted – in the most vivid and painful terms – the real divisions that still persist in this nation between law enforcement and communities of color.’’

In Charlotte, Putney said police dashcams recorded parts of the confrontation, and the videos were being reviewed. The African-American officer who shot Scott, identified as Brentley Vinson, was not wearing a body camera, Putney said.

The ACLU called on the police department to “promptly” release the videos “in the interest of transparency and accountability.”

The advocacy group also demanded an explanation for why Vinson was not wearing a body camera.

Putney said officers were searching for a suspect with an outstanding warrant Tuesday afternoon at The Village at College Downs when they observed a man — not the person they were

Clinton’s 11-hour testimony on the Benghazi attacks last October before a House committee is the barometer aides said indicates her ability to withstand stress.

The potential for unexpected attack lines is significant considering Trump’s closest advisers include Republican operatives Roger Ailes, the former head of Fox News; Stephen Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News, the conservative website that’s fanned questions about Clinton’s health; and Roger Stone, a strategist known for his use of hardedged opposition research.

If Trump lobs personal attacks, her response should be strong but sympathetic — and not defensive, Cardona said. She must “let her emotions show through in a way that makes her look human,” but, mindful of gender stereotypes, not “overly emotional.”

The potential for psychological warfare increased when Internet rumors about Clinton’s health went mainstream after she stumbled as she left a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony. Her campaign later announced she was suffering from pneumonia. Trump has said she doesn’t have the “stamina” for the presidency. Tuesday, he mocked her for taking a day off the trail, which her aides said was for debate preparation.

The real estate billionaire’s alpha male attack instincts could work in Clinton’s favor. During the primaries, Trump saw a backlash after he disparaged the looks of former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina.

On Fox News, Trump would not rule out personal attacks, saying he’ll treat Clinton “with great respect unless she treats me in a certain manner, in which case that will be the end of that.” looking for — inside a vehicle at the apartment complex.

Putney said the man, Scott, exited the vehicle with a gun as officers yelled at him to drop it. Scott ignored the command and was shot by a Vinson, a two-year veteran of the force, Putney said. Vinson was placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.

“It’s a tragic event, and my heart goes out to the Scott family for their loss,” Putney said.

Several residents at a condominium near the scene of the shooting said the neighborhood, which includes locals and University of North Carolina at Charlotte students, is quiet and safe.

The first time University of North Carolina student Justin Petty noticed the man sitting in his truck with a book, the sight struck him as odd, but he soon realized Scott’s reading was a daily habit as he waited for his son to be dropped off from school.

“He was sitting in his truck like he does all the time. He’s always waiting on his kid,” said Frederick Coleman, who said he’s lived in the complex for about a year, becoming friendly with Scott.

People from parts beyond the complex were drawn to the scene, including Calvin Bennett of Columbia, S.C. “You have a child coming off the bus and goes to meet daddy, but doesn’t know what to do because daddy’s dead,” Bennett said.

“Think about that image for a minute. America should be outraged.”

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

The Fed punted again.

The nation’s central bank on Wednesday kicked the proverbial rate-hike can down the financial market road for the sixth consecutive Fed meeting this year.

In its policy statement, the Federal Reserve said while the case for an “increase” in shortterm rates has “strengthened,” they opted to stand pat “for the time being” to buy time to give the job market more room to improve and to help prod still-low inflation back up towards the 2% level they are targeting.

So when will the Fed finally pull the trigger and renew the rate normalization process it kicked off last December? In a press conference, Fed Chair Janet

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

Yellen indicated a hike could come later in 2016, saying, “One rate increase will be appropriate this year” if things go as the Fed expects and no new risks emerge.

Nobody on Wall Street expects the Fed to hike at its November meeting, as it is too close to the presidential election. Futures markets are pricing in a more than 50% chance the Fed will move at its December meeting.

“The Fed,” says Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, “appears to be firmly on track for a December hike.”

“All eyes — and Fed rhetoric — will turn to December for the next several months,” Don Rissmiller of Strategas Research Partners adds.

Not so fast, says Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics. “We do not expect a Fed rate hike in November, nor do we expect one in December.”

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, speaking Tuesday at the Goldman Sachs’ Annual Communacopia Conference in New York City, said the company planned to launch a wireless service by the

The service would deliver connectivity over the Verizon Wireless network and Comcast’s own millions of Wi-Fi hotspots around the U.S. It essentially would be, he said, “the Verizon network maybe improved with our 15 million hotspots,” Roberts said.

Comcast can lease bandwidth on Verizon’s network as part of a Justice Department agreement four years ago in which Verizon bought $3.6 billion in wireless spectrum from Comcast and other pay-TV companies.

GOOD DAY ‘SUPERIOR DONUTS’ CBS has ordered 13 episodes of the half-hour comedy based on the Tracy Letts play for midseason. Judd Hirsch plays the gruff owner of a small shop in a gentrifying Chicago neighborhood, with Jermaine Fowler as an enterprising new employee. The series also stars David Koechner, Maz Jobrani, Anna Baryshnikov, Darien Sills-Evans, Rell Battle and Katey Sagal.

AWARDS TRACKER THE LATIN GRAMMYS Latin Grammy Awards nominations are out, and there’s a five-way tie for who nabbed the most: Julio Reyes Copello, Djavan, Fonseca, Ricardo López Lalinde and Jesse & Joy came up with four nominations each, the Latin Recording Academy announced Wednesday. The Latin Grammys will air live from Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 17 on Univision.

TORONTO The second time Madina Nalwanga saw a film inside a theater, she was the star of it.

In Queen of Katwe (in 17 cities Friday, including New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans; expands nationwide Sept. 30), Nalwanga plays Phiona Mutesi in the true story of a Ugandan girl who transforms her life by becoming a national chess champion.

In real life, the two young women share striking similarities. Both Nalwanga, 16, and Mutesi, 20, were born in the vicinity of Kampala’s poverty-stricken slum of Katwe. Both spent their childhoods selling corn on the streets. And the two sat together at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Queen of Katwe, giggling at their intertwined stories projected on a screen in front of 2,600 strangers.

When the credits rolled, Nalwanga “buried her head in my chest,” says Lupita Nyong’o, who plays her proud and formidable widowed onscreen mother, Harriet. “She couldn’t speak. It was a lot.”

Playing gifted chess prodigy Phiona, a girl initially drawn to a local chess program because it provided a daily meal of porridge, was “not hard,” Nalwanga says softly. “It was simple. Because that life is the same as my life.”

Nalwanga, who has six siblings, lives in a dormitory in Kibuli near her mother’s home. A mentor discovered her at a young age, and the teen’s education is subsidized by a dance company she performs with.

Like Phiona, who trailed her young brother through town “to get a cup of porridge and to learn chess, I also followed my neighbor to be able to go to school,” she says.

The ice was broken on the set when “I asked (Madina) to teach me how cook a typical Ugandan meal,” says Nyong’o, who learned to prepare a local banana dish, millet, silverfish and greens.

On this day, Nyong’o, director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) and David Oyelowo, who plays Phiona’s coach and mentor, Robert Katende, are watchful over the shy teenager.

“We’re very protective,” says Oyelowo, who took Nalwanga and seven other children from

the film to see Jurassic World while they were shooting.

“Madina was clawing my arm so much I had nail marks,” he says as the two laugh. “She turned to me and said, ‘Coach! Is this what we are doing?’ ” Nair, who splits her time between Kampala and New York, loves “the spirit of how to live that I see where people focus on what we have vs. what we don’t have,” says the director, who is helping Mutesi with her college applications.

At a time when diversity has become paramount in Hollywood, Queen of Katwe is a story that delivers, from its Indian director to the specificity of the East African tale told.

It’s also the first role Nyong’o took after winning her Oscar for 12 Years a Slave. “I had just gone through the biggest, most life-

was like), this is what I’m living.

“To have a film with people that look like me and Madina that they can watch and experience and be motivated by is really precious. Because the impossible can be possible.”

USA TODAY

A day after news of the impending divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, we still don’t know much for sure about this Hollywood mini-earthquake, but theories and rumors continue to shake the landscape.

Brangelina is officially buttoned up and saying nothing in public beyond initial statements.

Meanwhile, media coverage, speculation and commenting careened on.

Theories about what brought on the split are increasingly implausible. Differing parenting styles, substance abuse and anger issues, an affair with a co-star all were offered as reasons on Day 1 (and discounted).

By Day 2, US Weekly reported there was an unspecified family “incident” that precipitated Jolie’s filing. The New York Post said Pitt was too close to Jolie’s estranged father, Oscar-winning

JOEL RYAN, INV

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at an event in London in May 2014.

Hollywood conservative Jon Voight, which upset her, and that Pitt might have been hanging out with Russian hookers on the set of his forthcoming movie, Allied.

Rob Shuter, veteran publicist turned gossip blogger, says the strangest rumor he has heard making the rounds in New York is that Jolie has fallen for a European politician she met on her humanitarian-work travels.

“That’s the wackiest thing that’s come out,” he says. “You

never know! It could be true.

She’s not that interested in Hollywood anymore. She’s not that interested in making movies, and she sees her future doing political (and charity) work.”

Meanwhile, reaction to the news has continued to swell, and at least one experts suggests the public feels betrayed. Skepticism about the “golden couple” has been brewing for years, says Jeetendr Sehdev of the University of Southern California, a professor

of marketing and authority on celebrity branding who has run online surveys and one-on-one interviews since November 2013.

He says results of one of his ongoing studies show that 77% of Americans believe the pair lied about the state of their relationship so they could preserve their public image and keep the money rolling in.

“Fans feel fooled by the façade that Brangelina was projecting to the world,” and that accounts for the negative sentiment toward them, Sehdev says. “Authenticity is a zero-sum game, and audiences are demanding that celebrities be transparent. Brad and Angelina need to let their fans into their real lives if they want to remain relevant.”

But Hollywood insiders say the split is unlikely to affect either of their careers.

The separation “reminds us that (Jolie) is our generation’s Elizabeth Taylor,” Shuter says.

“This is a strong, tough woman who her fans adore. This is on message for her. ... It’s tricky to say with Brad. Allegations of being a bad father is something audiences don’t like. If that turns out to be true, it’s really off-brand for him.

It’s not the guy we think he is.”

Dear Annie: I have never written you before. Hoping you will give some space to this subject. I pray dog owners choosing to use a bark collar will see themselves as their neighbors do.

Dog ownership in our neighborhood has risen tenfold in the past five years. Here is the problem: incessant barking and extremely irresponsible, cruel dog-owning neighbors.

We are talking in between one and four hour stretches of barking.

One neighbor leaves for work. His two dogs have a dog door and free access to the outside at any time. When the dogs decide for themselves to go out, the barking is constant for as long as the owner’s shift lasts.

Two other neighbors

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

have resorted to using bark collars that shock their dogs. This is absolutely inhumane. I can barely stand it to hear the dogs screaming in pain when those irresponsible owners hit the buzz button — at their random convenience. The inconsistency just makes it even more confusing for the dogs, I’m sure.

Owners, please stop using bark collars. You have deluded yourselves into thinking

‘Pitch’ drops the ball on female reality Dramas about the media are far less interesting than those about fully developed characters. Tonight’s network premieres, “Pitch” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) and ABC’s “Notorious,” both fall into the first category.

On “Pitch,” Kylie Bunbury stars as Ginny Baker, the first woman to play in Major League Baseball. Her first start as a pitcher for the San Diego Padres becomes a media circus. Wellwishers include “Ellen” and “ H i l l a r y,” and seemingly every secondgrade girl in America.

“Pitch” does a good job depicting the locker room resistance to the team’s marketing of the gender breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Ginny is all too defined by those around her, including her catcher, her type-A publicist (Ali Larter) and her father (Michael Beach), seen in gauzy flashbacks mentoring Ginny on her way to the major leagues.

A player, particularly a black woman, breaking a barrier of this magnitude would be subject to the full brunt of social media, which is downplayed here. The gruesome racism and misogyny of Twitter and other outlets just don’t fit into this series’ uplift. This past summer, “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones was all but driven from Twitter by social media trolls’ hateful attacks. And she was only a woman in a movie. It’s ugly out there.

After Fox News’ website posted a fairly benign story about Malia Obama choosing to attend Harvard, the network had to shut down the comment thread because its content had become too vile.

So you can imagine how Ginny Baker might be received. And why “Pitch” chooses to accentuate near-supernatural fantasy.

O Everybody is betraying everyone else when they’re not sleeping together in the thoroughly ridiculous new media melodrama “Notorious” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Not unlike “UnReal,” this soap emphasizes the power of the TV producer — in this case, Julia George (Piper Perabo). She helms a cable news and gossip show in collaboration with celebrity defense attorney Jake Gregorian (Daniel Sunjata).

The show only works for viewers willing to invest in its aggressive cynicism. And complete absence of three-dimensional characters. Everything, from love affairs to orders of coffee, is a clearly calculated power play. It’s exhausting.

Tonight’s season premieres O Workers strike on “Superstore” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O The mayor’s protege arrives on the slab on “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O A colleague becomes a patient on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

that you are being consistent, that it is an effective means of training and that it doesn’t hurt the dog.

Reconsider your need to own a dog if you do not have the time or means to devote to proper training and adjust your life to your individual dog’s needs and personality.

Do some soul-searching, and do what is right for your dog.

We live in a small rural community with very few resources, so options for reporting and taking action to address situations such as these are extremely limited. We have approached the offenders on several occasions — thus the rise of the bark collars, which was not our intention.

Thanks for letting me vent. — Weary of the Cruelty

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 22: This year you see the benefits of following your sixth sense. As a result, you listen to your instincts more often. If you are single, be open to expanding your circle of friends. If you are attached, the two of you feed off spontaneity.

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) ++++ Confusion might surround you once more. You will see certain issues disappear in the next few weeks.Tonight: Stay centered despite any anger.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ You could be wondering which direction you should head in. A friend might baffle you with his or her actions. Tonight: Play it cool financially.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You’ll hear news that opens you up to having a longoverdue conversation. Keep in mind that the information may be wrong.

Tonight: Let someone else take the reins.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++ Listen to what is being shared without expressing your feelings or visibly expressing your thoughts. Tonight: Vanish!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Refuse to make any decisions during a moment of confusion.

You could feel overloaded, and will need to start a conversation. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Dear Weary: Thank you for writing about this important issue.

I’m printing it here in hopes that anyone guilty of these offenses will reconsider this behavior. You’re right; the shock collars are not only cruel but also ineffective. They may stop a dog from barking temporarily, but they do not address the root issues that cause excessive barking, such as stress and separation anxiety.

People who have to leave dogs alone all day while they work should consider hiring dog walkers to tire them out during the day. Visit www.humanesociety. org for more tips on keeping animal companions happy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++ You could be slightly off-kilter. A situation with financial implications is likely to develop. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ Reach out to someone who presents a totally different perspective and who you feel comes from a grounded position. Tonight: Buy tickets to a concert or some other happening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ One-on-one relating will elicit a new response. Confusion seems to surround communication right now. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You might act like a spark and ignite others’ tempers. Try to become more aware of the implications of your behavior. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ Try to work through a problem before it becomes even bigger. Tonight: In the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Allow your playful side to emerge and take you down a new path. Tonight: Clear up a problem rather than add to the complications.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Pressure builds around you as new information comes forward. What happens depends on the result a domestic matter. Tonight: Relax at home.

NCAA leadership forum inspires KU’s Bragg

By Matt Tait

I

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas sophomore Carlton Bragg last weekend spent a couple of days in Indianapolis, representing Kansas at the NCAA Leadership Development’s Elite Student-Athlete Symposium.

Picked for the conference on the recommendation of Fred Quartlebaum, Kansas basketball’s director of student-athlete development, Bragg participated in a handful of presentations and speeches from other student-athletes from around the country and bonded with other college basketball players there for the same reasons he was — to learn about how to better the lives of others through leadership and proper use of the platform provided to them by their chosen sport.

“Coach Q had asked me about it and I said, ‘Why not?’” Bragg said matterof-factly. “It was gonna be a good experience for me, it was the first time they were doing it and I was like, ‘I would love to be a part of that.’”

While there, the sophomore forward from Cleveland who many believe is poised for a breakout season and is still in the process of adding pounds and inches to his already long and athletic frame, built a particular connection with Syracuse freshman Tyler Lydon, a 6-foot-8 forward from Elizaville, New York, and Memphis forward Dedric Lawson, a 6-9 native of Tennessee.

“It was like Powerpoint (presentations) throughout the whole day,” Bragg said.

“And they just gave you (advice on) life, the next level, college, agents, it was a lot.”

While taking in loads of useful information, Bragg found himself most moved by the words shared by former Kentucky and Boston Celtics great Antione Walker, who, after a 16year professional career that included an NBA title in 2006 and three appearances in the NBA All-Star Game, now claims to be penniless and focused on helping other young athletes in the position he once enjoyed avoid similar pitfalls.

KANSAS QUARTERBACK MONTELL COZART (2) drops back to throw during warmups on Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, Tenn. Cozart apologized to teammates during practice Monday for the Jayhawks’ Saturday loss to Memphis.

t was in finance class on Monday morning when Montell Cozart first came up with the idea.

After 40-plus hours of beating himself up over what was arguably the worst performance of his Kansas career, Cozart had a thought of something he could do that might help make up for the two-interception, one-fumble outing that led to the Jayhawks getting buried by Memphis and falling to 1-2 on the season just a couple of days earlier.

“I was sitting in class and it just struck me that I wanted to talk to the guys,” Cozart said. “I just wanted to let those guys know that game was on me. I feel like I let everyone down. I didn’t even give us a chance and I just wanted to let those guys know I’ll be much better this week and then going into Tech next week.”

After clearing it with KU coach David Beaty beforehand, Cozart addressed the team at Monday’s practice. He and fellow captain Fish Smithson talked for about 15 minutes, with Cozart going first, about what went wrong and what the team needed to do to get past it.

It wasn’t the first time last week the Jayhawks went with the approach Cozart dubbed “a little heart-to-heart.”

On the sideline at Memphis, in the locker room after the game and on the trip home later that day, several of Cozart’s teammates reached out to him to let him know they were still with him.

Such a gesture can be vital for quarterbacks at all levels of football. And to Cozart, it meant the world.

“It was great,” he said. “Josh Ehambe and Brandon Stewart were the first guys. They probably weren’t even out of their pads and I had text messages from those guys already.

“It just shows that those guys have your back and they have your best interest at heart. Even on the sideline, after the turnovers, Josh came up to me and was in my ear, motivating me, giving me advice. It just gives you that drive, as a captain and a quarterback, to go out there and

Jayhawks sweep Sooners Freshman trio helps Kansas execute volleyball victory over Oklahoma

By Tom Keegan Tkeegan@ljworld.com

A trio of freshmen contributed big moments in their Big 12 volleyball debuts Wednesday night at Horejsi Center and helped Kansas to sweep Oklahoma, 25-17, 25-13, 29-27.

For Patricia Montero of Ponce, Puerto Rico, her big moment was the final one of the night, a kill that ended the third-set tension and triggered an ovation from the customary sellout.

Long before that, highflying Jada Burse of DeSoto, Texas, supplied plenty of thrills and eight kills with just one error. Zoe Hill of Houston added five kills and one error.

“It was super exciting,” Burse said. “I was kind of nervous at first, but my teammates helped me get rid of that.”

The freshmen all have encountered mixed results in trying to blend in with a veteran core that returned from KU’s first Final Four run. Their big nights came at a good time considering the eighth-ranked Jayhawks (12-1) head to Austin for a Saturday night match against No. 5 Texas (8-2) and will need sharp performances from veterans and young talents alike.

Burse’s potential screamed the loudest of the first-year players Wednesday night. Her explosive leaping ability was on display and the atmosphere appeared to propel her to even greater heights than usual.

“The adrenaline and the band helps me a lot,” Burse said. “I love music, so I love the band. It’s probably my favorite part about playing on our home court.”

She shares that opinion with band members, “all the time.”

Montero found herself in unfamiliar territory with the match on the line.

“We ran out of subs so they told me I needed to play the front row,” she said.

Having starred for Puerto Rico’s U18 national team, Montero is accustomed to playing in big matches, but this was different.

“When you’re playing international you don’t have fans and crowded arenas,” Montero said. “You have to find the momentum on your own. So here the fans help a lot because it is so full of energy. It’s fun.”

Montero’s night featured ups and downs, but Burse

Free State tennis posts 2-0-1 record at home quad

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Free State High’s tennis team did not have its best all-around day at FSHS’ home quad Wednesday according to interim coach Michael Trujillo, but the last match on the court gave the Firebirds something to be encouraged about.

Carter Stacey and Anna Peard had never played together as a doubles team, but they posted a record of 3-0 with wins over Shawnee Mission North, SM North> HOOPS, 5C west and Olathe Northwest

to lead the Firebirds in their first home tournament of the season.

“I was really pleased with how they moved, especially with not being a very seasoned doubles team,” Trujillo said. “I gave them a few pointers before to keep the conversation up so they are on the same page, and they seemed to do that well.

They started executing well to begin with, which probably only added to their confidence. That started to show a lot at the end of the day, especially when they were in a tight match.”

Stacey and Peard coasted to respective 8-2 and 8-1 victories at No. 2 doubles over Olathe Northwest and Shawnee Mission North before edging SM Northwest, 8-5.

Stacey filled in for Gabby Gorman — Peard’s regular doubles partner — and felt that they played to each other’s strengths, and help compensate for each other’s weaknesses.

The Firebirds finished the quad with a record of 2-0-1 after taking three of four against Olathe Northwest, sweeping SM North and splitting against SM Northwest. Trujillo is optimistic about what his team can do for the rest of the season, and is thankful for the opportunity to coach the Firebirds.

“They love talking to each other and hanging out. That translates over to their court presence a lot of times, and I think I’m extremely lucky to have been able to take this job and be given this close of a team,” Trujillo said.

Brissett three other quarterbacks.”

Richard Johnson, curator of the Boston Sports Museum, said while the quarterback milestone would be unintentional, there has never been talk of race influencing the Pats’ personnel decisions.

Richard Lapchick, who has pushed for diversity across college and professional sports from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, said the Patriots under owner Robert Kraft have consistently pushed for inclusion in several ways.

“They were working in the community on gender violence prevention in the early 1990s, 20 years before Ray Rice or even before O.J.,” Lapchick said.

The Patriots were also one of the first teams to help NFL players finish their degrees.

Josh Johnson, who is black and one of three Giants quarterbacks, was surprised when told his team could be the last to cross this particular racial benchmark.

“It shows progress,” he said. “That’s all you want to see, progress. Good luck to (Brissett), I hope he goes out and takes advantage of it. Opportunities come far and few.”

INDIANS 4, ROYALS 3

Kluber’s strong outing knocks KC from AL Central race

By Steve Herrick

BOX SCORE

Associated Press

Cleveland (ap) — Corey Kluber allowed two runs and struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings, and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Wednesday night, eliminating the reigning World Series champions from the AL Central race.

The Indians, who led Detroit by seven games in the division going into Wednesday, reduced their magic number for clinching the Central to five.

Carlos Santana was 4 for 5 with an RBI single in the eighth. Jose Ramirez drove in the go-ahead run in the fifth with his third double of the game.

Kluber (18-9) matched his career high in wins and is 10-1 in his last 14 starts, strengthening his case to win his second AL Cy Young Award in three years.

journey.” said Bragg, asked to recall the most memorable moment of the weekend. “He gave his life as an example, like learn from it.”

T-Rob to Hollywood The Los Angeles Lakers and former Kansas forward Thomas Robinson on Wednesday agreed to a one-year deal, making the former KU force the final player on the Lakers roster for the 2016-17 season.

Robinson joins a full roster and even more crowded frontcourt that includes fellow former Jayhawk Tarik Black, who, in July, signed a two-year, $13 million deal to stay in Los Angeles.

Since being drafted No. 5 overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, Robinson, 25, has struggled to find a consistent home, bouncing around to now his sixth team in just four years. He played with the Brooklyn Nets a season ago and averaged 4.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in 77 games.

homer in the ninth, but recorded his 28th save in 31 opportunities. Catcher Roberto Perez threw out pinch-runner Terrance Gore trying to steal second for the first out and Allen retired the final two batters.

Ian Kennedy (11-10) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and lost for the first time since July 25.

The Royals reached the World Series in each of the last two years and defeated the Mets in five games to win their first title since 1985 last season.

Kansas City was favored to repeat as division champions, but dealt with injuries to key players all season. Perez, the Royals’ All-Star catcher, third baseman Mike

Moustakas, left fielder Alex Gordon, center fielder Lorenzo Cain and closer Wade Davis all missed significant time.

The Royals haven’t been in first place since June 15 after they swept a three-game series from the Indians that moved the teams into a tie. Kansas City is 42-45 since and has fallen to third place.

Lonnie Chisenhall’s

RBI single put Cleveland ahead in the second. Runscoring singles by Kendrys Morales and Perez gave Kansas City the lead in the third when the Royals strung together four straight two-out hits.

Santana doubled to start the fifth and scored the tying run on Jason Kipnis’ double. Ramirez’s double to center broke the tie.

“She can really hit.”

So can senior Tayler Soucie and junior Madison Ridgon, both of whom had 10 kills and one error on a night Kelsie Payne wasn’t at her best (nine kills, eight errors.)

Kansas coach Ray Bechard praised the play

of Burse and didn’t stop there when talking about the freshman class.

“Zoe Hill had some opportune swings and it reminded me a little bit of Janae Hall last year when Ainise (Havili) would find her at key moments when the other team was probably thinking about

someone else,” Bechard said.

Much of KU’s best work came inches from the floor, where standout senior libero Cassie Wait found herself making spectacular plays. Wait, so quick and intuitive, contributed 23 digs.

“Defensively, I thought

it was probably our best effort of the year,” Bechard said. “Most important stat of the match: They came in hitting .285.

We held them to .092, a team that’s got a ton of weapons, so first and foremost, I thought that was the key to our match.

Our goal is to hold teams

under .200, so to hold them under .100 speaks volumes of Cassie Wait, some opportune blocks

by Tayler Soucie and just enough kills.”

The Sooners took a 9-1 record into a tournament in Los Angeles last weekend and have lost four consecutive matches.

Willis fared no better during his time on the field against Memphis and red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley still has yet to play any meaningful snaps.

Now in the middle of a bye week that came at just the right or wrong time, depending on your perspective, Beaty and his staff are forced to move

forward juggling the question that asks which quarterback is the best option for Kansas.

Asked if he would send himself back out there if the choice were solely his, Cozart offered diplomatic response.

“I feel like, just in this bye week, it’s worth seeing how we both go

through it and how we bounce back from it,” he said. “Of course I would love to be back out there, but whatever decision coach makes I support it and I know at some point my number will be called and when I get back in there I gotta take advantage of it and get things back flowing.”

Asked to provide the case for him being given another shot, Cozart reemphasized his disappointment about last week’s showing.

“Just kind of what I told my guys on Monday,” he said. “I let you down, you can bet that won’t happen again, you won’t ever see that happen again and I’m

gonna give us a chance every time we go out there to go up and down the field, put up some numbers, put up some points and we’re gonna be explosive.

“I just want those guys to know that I’ve got their back and what happened last week against Memphis won’t happen again.”
