KU freshman enrollment up for 5th straight year

nrollment at the University of Kansas went up this year, boosted by the university’s fifth-straight year of freshman class growth, according to numbers released Monday by KU. KU leaders touted not only the freshman class’ size but also its academic achievement and diversity, especially in light of the university’s new — and tougher — automatic admission standards that went into effect this semester.

KU is 1 of only 2 state universities where enrollment increased this year.

Fort Hays State University enrollment went up 3.2 percent, according to numbers released Monday by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Enrollment went down at Kansas State, Wichita State,

Enrollment across all KU’s campuses grew from 28,091 in fall 2015 to 28,401 this fall, an increase of 1.1 percent, according to data provided

by KU. It’s the third straight year KU’s overall enrollment has grown.

KU’s 2016 freshman class numbers 4,233, an increase of 1.1 percent from last year,

according to KU. It’s KU’s fourth-largest class in history and the largest since 2008.

“This is a banner freshman class for KU,” Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a Monday message to campus. “To increase in both size and quality is a tremendous accomplishment.

And a fifth straight year of freshman class growth

— especially in the context of enrollment trends at other universities in the region — is a clear sign we’re doing a lot of things right in the minds of prospective students.”

Gray-Little credited “purposeful, strategic decisions in how we identify, attract, fund and enroll students at KU.” Those include higher standards for automatic admission, increased national and international recruitment efforts, a revamp of KU’s financial aid to include four-year renewable scholarships and implementation of the KU Core Curriculum, which was designed specifically to include opportunities such as undergraduate research, internships and study abroad.

The chancellor also highlighted the importance of

In a filing Friday, the group

also requested that U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson issue an order for Kobach to show cause why he should not be held in contempt.

Kobach says the state “is in full compliance with the district court’s order.”

Starting this fall, students at both Lawrence public high schools will be able to freely access condoms at their school’s health office.

The initiative, presented at Monday’s school board meeting, is a continuation of the Lawrence district’s sexuality education program and partnership with the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department.

“Although they have been widely utilized in other countries for decades, con- SCHOOLS dom education and availability programs … are quickly becoming common components of comprehensive sexuality education here in the United States as well,” Michael Showalter, the Health Department’s health promotion specialist, told the board Monday.

Plan for HERE complex parking moving forward

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

A plan to resolve the HERE apartment complex’s parking shortage is moving forward. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted Monday to recommend the plan, which calls for demolishing two houses to expand an existing parking lot.

Commissioner Clay Britton said it may not have been a problem directly created by the city, but he thought it was one it needed to solve and the solution in front of the commission was likely the best option.

“Other solutions are going to involve demolishing something else, building a parking garage somewhere or just surface parking,” Britton said at the meeting. “… I wish that the solution here didn’t involve that, but I just don’t think that there’s a better one. I’d be worried about what the next proposed solution would be if this one doesn’t go through.”

The plan also called for the commission to waive a requirement that > HERE, 6A

SURENDRA BHANA

Surendra Bhana passed away at his home on Saturday, September 24th at the age of seventy­ seven after battling cancer. He is survived by Kala, his wife of fifty years, his children Hershini, Hemant and Palvih, his daughter­in­ law Angie, and his grandchildren Kiri, Aiden and Idris.

A deeply reflective and spiritual man, Suresh often described his life as a series of journeys. Born in Sisodra, a small village in India, Suresh journeyed as young boy to South Africa which became his home Those for many years. years in South Africa awakened in him a keen sense of justice and a never­ending search for elusive truths.

Suresh came to Lawrence in 1966 as a graduate student where he earned his Ph.D. in History at KU. In 1987 he returned to Lawrence with his family to teach in the History department.

These many journeys, Suresh wrote, convinced him that buildings and places do not change but the people who live in them do. He believed that it was in the inward journey, the search for home buried in oneself, that true freedom could be found.

The many successes and accolades he garnered over the years—including five books that made him an innovator in his field, his stellar reputation as a teacher and mentor, and

increasing diversity at KU, an issue that got a lot of attention last year and continues to this school year, both at KU and other universities nationwide.

KU’s incoming freshmen have an average ACT score of 25.7 and an average GPA of 3.58, both record highs for the university, according to KU’s announcement.

The freshman class is KU’s second-most diverse, according to KU. Of new freshmen, 22.9 percent self-identified as minorities, a slight increase from 22.3 percent last year, according to data provided by KU. The freshman class has 9.2 percent more Hispanic students and 1.7 percent more black students than last year’s freshman class, according to the data.

Universitywide, KU’s minority enrollment increased 3.9 percent this year, according to the data.

In total, 19.8 percent of KU students are now minorities.

That’s the highest percentage in the school’s history, according to a KU news release.

“A diverse student body is crucial to the campus environment at KU,” Gray-Little said in the release. “To truly be a robust community of scholars, it’s essential that we recruit students with diverse backgrounds, opinions and perspectives. Today’s data show we continue to make gains in this area.”

his charismatic eloquence—all fade in comparison to his compassion and humility.

The number of lives he touched reflected his unique ability to listen, to understand other people and to accept them for where and who they were.

The outpouring of love and support from family and friends all over the world, in particular Haskell Springer, Steve Fawcett, Doni Mooberry and the extended Bhana family is a testament both to their kindness and his.

A private funeral will be held on Tuesday September 27th. It will be followed by a celebration of his life on Saturday Oct 1st at the KU Alumni Center from 3pm to 5pm where all are welcome.

Condoms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Showalter said. Of those, nearly 68 percent did not use any form of birth control. Students who undergo school-based condom education, he said, have been shown in studies to wait longer before having sex, claim fewer sexual partners and are more likely to use condoms when they do have sex.

Other benefits, according to the Health Department, include a lower risk of sexually transmitted infection and a decreased likelihood to drink or use drugs before sex.

Even those who have received comprehensive sexuality education, including information about birth control, Showalter said, still experience barriers to obtaining condoms, including confidentiality, cost and the shame involved.

Providing students open access to condoms, he said, would provide a service to teens who are already sexually active as well as those who aren’t, enabling students to “make the best decisions for their sexual health.”

School board member Vanessa Sanburn voiced support of the program Monday, reiterating reports that allowing students access to condoms does not increase sexual activity.

“All it does is increase the number of students using condoms when they’re sexually active,” she added.

Sanburn said the condoms, provided by the Health Department, would likely be available via dispensers in Lawrence High School and Free State High School health offices within the next month. The arrival, she said, would align with this fall’s sexuality education curriculum.

“I do think open access, where students don’t have to ask an adult in order to get them, is a much better strategy than having them in a locked drawer (or) somewhere where they have to ask permission in order to take one,” said Sanburn, who is a social worker by trade.

Sanburn was a strong advocate of the district adopting national sexuality education standards in 2014. The standards, which include more information about birth control and sexual orientation than previous curricula, were first implemented in Lawrence schools during the 2014-2015 school year.

In other business, the board: l Heard an update on the school district’s implementation of personalized learning from Terry McEwen, the district’s director of curriculum, instruction and assessment. l Heard an update on the district’s 2013 bond construction projects from Tony Barron, the district’s executive director of facilities and operations. l Agreed to delay the vote on the board’s 20162017 excellence, equity and engagement goals until October.

The next school board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 10 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. The regular meeting will be preceded by a work session for the master plan for secondary school improvements, beginning at 5 p.m.

Cost of closing achievement gaps could be staggering

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — During oral arguments at the Kansas Supreme Court over school funding last week, much of the discussion concerned the two-thirds versus the one-third.

It was a reference to results of standardized tests that Kansas students took in 2015 showing roughly two-thirds of Kansas high school students were performing at or above grade level in math, while a little more than one-third, 37 percent, scored below grade level.

Furthermore, the plaintiffs’ attorney, Alan Rupe, argued that many, if not

most, of the students falling below expectations came from identifiable subgroups: those from low-income households, non-English speaking backgrounds, Hispanics and African Americans.

At least one justice on the court indicated that in deciding the case he plans to focus solely on that one-third.

“Let’s just use your numbers,” Justice Dan Biles said. “Two-thirds of the kids are flourishing.

We’ve got a third floundering. So it’s really none of the court’s business about the two-thirds. They’re meeting the standard that we’ve 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 seemed to be indicating that the cost of a remedy may not be as high as the $800 million a year that the plaintiffs have suggested, because two-thirds of Kansas students are meeting the state’s expectations with the current level of funding.

The only thing that may be needed, he suggested, is whatever amount of money it takes to bring the struggling one-third up to grade level.

But education experts say that’s easier said than done, and not only could

it cost a staggering amount of money, it could take many years to achieve.

“I think you’re going to have to take several years,” Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson said. “Any school finance formula — both in terms of the capacity of the state to pay for it, and in terms of the districts in order to handle the amount of money coming in and plan for that — would have to be a multiple-year plan.”

The court’s standard Two years ago, in an earlier phase of the lawsuit, the Supreme Court spelled out the standard it will use to decide whether K-12 education funding is

adequate. It’s a standard based on a set of educational outcomes, known as the Rose Capacities, that were first set out in a Kentucky school finance case from the 1980s.

Adequacy is met, the court said, “when the public education financing system provided by the legislature for grades K-12 — through structure and implementation — is reasonably calculated to have all Kansas public education students meet or exceed the standards set out in Rose.”

The standards, or “capacities,” themselves are merely a broad, general outline of the kind of knowledge and skills students will need “to function

in a complex and rapidly changing civilization” and “to compete favorably with their counterparts in surrounding states, in academics or in the job market.”

Specifically, they include oral and written communication skills; knowledge of economic, social and political systems; understanding of government processes; self-knowledge about the student’s own physical and mental health; arts and cultural education; and sufficient academic and vocational training to prepare the student for college or a vocation.

In light of that, Watson said, the Kansas State

Haskell students call for effort to Sun Cedar files for bankruptcy, closes doors bridge town, gown cultural gap

By Conrad Swanson

cswanson@ljworld.com

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

No single student voice can speak for an institution as diverse as Haskell Indian Nations University, a panel of students demonstrated at a panel discussion Monday at the Lawrence Public Library.

The five student panelists, from five different states and an equal number of different tribes or cultures, repeatedly referred to that diversity at Haskell and among the nation’s indigenous peoples when responding to questions asked from a group of about 25 audience members.

Aware of that diversity, they often underscored that their answers reflected their personal experiences and were mindful those were different from the others on the stage.

The five panelists expressed different points of view on the acceptance of Native Americans in Lawrence and their preferred way to identify indigenous people.

Kaana Watchman, a senior in Indigenous and American Indian Studies, said she has experienced racism in Lawrence stores, and Caroline Wireman, junior in Elementary Education, said there was a “creepy” lack of diversity off the Haskell campus. But Ray Phillips, senior in Indigenous and American Indian Studies, said the presence of Haskell, and the University of Kansas with its large international student enrollment, made the

community very diverse.

“I felt pretty welcome,” he said. “When I walk Mass. Street, I don’t feel singled out.”

As for how they preferred to be identified, Shane Lynch, a senior in Indigenous and Native American studies, said he used Native American or Indigenous “because we’re not from India,” while Phillips said he could accept either, adding that uncertainty about using the right term shouldn’t stop Caucasians from approaching and engaging Native Americans about their heritage and culture.

In a reply that illustrated Haskell’s diversity, Wiseman said Indigenous was the only correct term to identify her and her people because as a member of the Inupiaq culture from northern Alaska, she was not an American Indian.

There was more agreement on how to bridge the gap between Haskell and the community. The students agreed the answer was communication through more outreach events and more visits from community members to the campus for cultural and sporting events. They encouraged the community to attend Experience Haskell: Native Lawrence, a public showcase of Haskell’s academic achievement and culture, scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Oct. 9 on the Haskell campus.

Education is also important in fostering understanding, especially among younger students

who have not learned biases, Watchman said.

That could be through outreach programs to middle school and younger students, she said.

“We make progress by involving our kids in different experiences,” said Watchman, who spent some of her youth as the only Native American in her Osage City school.

“One of the best things my mom ever did was get me on and off the reservation.”

Andi Weber, a senior in Indigenous and American Indian Studies, said teachers needed to research fresh materials, such as tribal websites, when teaching about Native Americans.

“Textbooks only talk about Native Americans in the past,” she said.

In answer to a final question of the evening, the panelists said they didn’t view Caucasians wearing jewelry or other authentic works of Native American artisans as inappropriate cultural appropriation.

Most Native Americans appreciated whites supporting Native American artists, but would also condemn the wearing of cheap department store knockoffs, Weber said.

Phillips said what was offensive was wearing headdresses or symbols of honor, or reducing Native American traditional dress to stereotypes in Halloween outfits.

Shine Adams says he will never make another tree again.

More than two years ago, Adams founded Sun Cedar, a woodworking company aimed at helping the down and out get back on their feet. In May, the business moved into the Penn House at 1035 Pennsylvania St., but now it has closed its doors for good.

Offering work to the homeless and previously Adams incarcerated, Sun Cedar primarily crafted handmade aromatic ornaments shaped like cedar trees.

Using the tree shape was just “common sense,” Adams said.

“It’s a symbol for growth, it’s a symbol for strength. It’s the material that we use. I love the meaningful nature of that image,” he said.

Plus, the simple shape was easy to teach employees to make, Adams said.

“I couldn’t imagine back then that anything would ever come of it,” he said.

All the same, it’s the cedar tree shape that landed Sun Cedar into a bit of trouble, Adams said.

In December 2015, the Car-Freshner

Corporation filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of New York against Sun Cedar, claiming the shape of its ornaments infringed upon Car-Freshner’s trademarked product, which is also a tree-shaped, aromatic ornament.

Unable to cope with the growing legal costs to battle the Car-Freshner Corporation, Adams said he made the difficult decision to file for bankruptcy and close the doors to Sun Cedar forever. The bankruptcy claim was officially filed on Sept. 19.

Now, Adams said he’s in the process of adding up Sun Cedar’s assets, which will then be used to pay off the business’s outstanding debts.

Once Sun Cedar’s bankruptcy is resolved, Adams is ordered to alert the New York court that is ruling on the Car-Freshner Corporation lawsuit, according to federal court filings.

In the meantime, Adams said he’s already thinking of new ideas for his next venture.

“I know myself and I know the board and I know the community that supports Sun Cedar,” Adams said. “And I will not stop in my mission to giving people the chance to work.”

Army fires Fort Riley commander as investigation continues Washington (ap) — The U.S. Army says it has fired the commander of Fort Riley and is continuing an investigation opened last week at the Kansas base. No details have been provided.

Army spokesman Col. Patrick R. Seiber says that Maj. Gen. Wayne Grigsby was relieved of command of the 1st Infantry Division due to loss of confidence in his ability

to lead. Grigsby was initially suspended on Friday. Army officials have declined to disclose the nature of the investigation.

Seiber says a replacement will be named in the coming days.

EDITORIALS

Rubric redo The city has taken the right step with changes to the way event grant requests will be evaluated.

T

he city of Lawrence was right to put greater emphasis on regional draw and economic impact in deciding which events will receive funds from the Transient Guest Tax Grant Program.

Funds for the Guest Tax Grant Program come from a 6 percent sales tax charged on hotel rooms in Lawrence that is paid in addition to standard sales taxes. The tax was created in 1994, and its proceeds were designated for promoting tourism and the convention business in Lawrence.

As part of its 2016 budget, the commission called for $150,000 in guest tax funds to create a formal grant program, which has since completed its first award cycle. The idea was that the grant program would be a structured way for the city to receive requests for support and draw on budgeted funds for specific events.

Last week, the guest tax advisory board presented a new rubric for awarding grants to the City Commission. Changes to the rubric mean that when scoring an event for grant consideration, the advisory board will put the greatest emphasis on the event’s regional appeal, economic impact, ability to become self-sustaining and financial support from other resources. Community and cultural development will be scored as well, but at a lower emphasis.

The City Commission approved the changes and rightly so. As Commissioner Matthew Herbert pointed out, funding for the grant program comes from the lodging industry, thus it’s appropriate to first and foremost use the grant funds to support events that brings visitors from outside the community and fill hotel rooms.

“Events that are great for the community and bring community members out and everyone has a good time are terrific; however, the reality is the origin of this program — transient guest tax fund — is that it’s based off of money collected from our hotel industries,” Herbert said. “And so if the event does nothing to put people in hotels, it probably should not be funded out of a transient guest tax fund.”

The new rubric may cause some discomfort for events that have historically received funding without having to demonstrate financial impact. But it is fair for the city to align its grant funding with the source of the financial support, and to ask event organizers who want grant funds to demonstrate that they can meet the goals outlined in the funding process rubric.

Trump’s foreign policy questionable Of all the reasons for concern about a potential Donald Trump administration’s foreign policy, one of the most troublesome — aside from Trump’s impulsive personality — would be the conflicts of interest posed by his investments abroad, and by his debts to foreign banks.

There are many other reasons to worry, including the fact that Trump would be the Islamic State’s dream president — one who would unite the whole Muslim world against the United States — and the likelihood that key U.S. allies might come to think that America has become a banana republic ruled by a clown, and could hold back their intelligence cooperation with Washington.

But of all these potential problems, the most immediate one would be that the billionaire Republican candidate would be a greater target for foreign pressures than any other president in recent U.S. history.

That’s because, unlike U.S. presidents for the past five decades, he says he won’t set up a blind trust or convert his assets into conflict-free U.S. government bonds. Instead, Trump says that if elected, he would turn over his business empire to his children, as if that would prevent any of the 22 countries in which he has hotels, golf courses and other investments from exerting pressure on his business

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Trump would be the Islamic State’s dream president — one who would unite the whole Muslim world against the United States.” empire, or using its business ties to ask for favors.

“I’ll have my children and executives run the company, and I wouldn’t discuss it with them,” Trump told Fox News on Sept. 15. Yeah, sure!

We are supposed to believe that over the four years of his possible presidency he would not discuss business matters with his children, who happen to be among his closest political advisers.

What’s worse, Trump is the first presidential candidate in many decades who refuses to release his tax records, citing the phony excuse that he is being audited. We know much more about Hillary Clinton and

the Clinton Foundation’s finances than about Trump’s.

Trump’s failure to disclose his tax returns keeps us from knowing whether he is lying blatantly when he claims that he has built a $10 billion fortune, although Bloomberg News puts it at $3 billion.

More importantly, it leaves us in the dark about all the countries and foreign governments he is doing business with.

Last week, a group of 50 former Democratic and Republican foreign policy officials released a letter raising their concerns about the fact that “Donald Trump still has not revealed to the American public his international business relationships, even as it becomes increasingly clear that his overseas ties could well constitute significant conflicts of interest.”

When I read that letter, I couldn’t help thinking about some of Trump’s foreign policy statements in recent months.

Could it be that Trump said recently that he has “nothing but praise” for Turkey’s authoritarian president Recep Tayyip Erdogan because the Trump Organization inaugurated a $400 million Trump Towers Istanbul complex in that country four years ago?

Could it be that Trump repeatedly praises Russia’s de facto dictator Vladimir Putin because Russian oligarchs who may be close to Putin

are among his best real estate clients? (Donald Trump Jr. said at a 2008 real estate conference that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” and that “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia,” according to The Washington Post.)

Could it be that Trump holds a personal grudge against Mexico — vowing to build a wall with Mexico and to slap a 35 percent tax on Mexican imports — because his three-tower, 25-story luxury Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico project was a monumental failure? (The project was halted in 2009, two years after construction started, leaving a long trail of lawsuits.)

Granted, these are just questions, which may or may not indicate any personal financial motives behind Trump’s foreign policy stands.

But if Trump really wants to put this issue away — instead of insulting our intelligence by saying that if elected he would cut his ties with his business empire by handing it over to his children — he should release his tax records and vow to set up a blind trust. Otherwise, if he wins, we will never know whether he’s working for the country, or for himself.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Kansas Daily Tribune for Sept. 27, 1866: l “It is a singular fact that years grasshoppers do not eat any ago part of the sorghum cane. They IN 1866 will not touch it. The knowledge of this may encourage the planting of a larger breadth of land in cane next year. Everybody now concedes that, by the exercise of care and common sense, syrup of the best quality can be made from sorghum.” l “People having horses running out for feed should be cautious that they do not range in the bottom just east of town. A glandered mule has for the past week been feeding in that vicinity. On Tuesday he was killed a short distance south of the distillery, and dragged away. Several horses were running in the vicinity, and it behooves owners to be a little careful for a few days.”

After some hesitation, it’s time for Trump Now that all of my insidethe-beltway, elitist, morally superior friends and colleagues have weighed in with their self-righteous denunciations of Donald Trump, it’s my turn.

After initially opposing his candidacy for president, I have come around to another point of view.

The election of Hillary Clinton will perpetuate and probably worsen everything many people hate about our bloated and dysfunctional government, collectively and derisively known as “Washington.” The election of Donald Trump will offer an opportunity — perhaps the last for decades — to “fire” or at least isolate the elites, returning the country to its constitutional boundaries.

All analogies break down at some point, but let’s engage in a theological stretch.

When Jesus overturned the money changer’s tables in the Temple, he said that instead of a house of prayer, the elites of his day had turned the Temple into “a den of thieves.”

That increasingly applies to Washington. If Hillary Clinton wins in November, government will grow bigger and more expensive with all of her “investment” ideas, many of which have been tried before and failed.

Remember the “stimulus,”

Cal Thomas tcaeditors@tribune.com

which was targeted at infrastructure?

Remember “shovel-ready jobs,” which were neither?

Under President Hillary Clinton, what’s to stop secular progressives from exacting revenge on churches and pastors who preach a different gospel than the one they favor? It has already started in Massachusetts with the transgender public accommodations bill, taking effect Oct. 1. The law allows transgender individuals to use public bathrooms that match their gender identities. It also protects them, writes the Boston Globe, “from discrimination in public spaces such as museums, restaurants, malls, and libraries.” And even churches, which may hold different views on the transgender issue, because they routinely hold events such as Bingo night, spaghetti dinners, book drives and charity car washes, all of which are open to the general public.

The church hall may now be

considered public space.

Seventeen U.S. states have similar laws. If Hillary gets to appoint justices to the Supreme Court, will we be forced to accept more like this?

Donald Trump is addressing the legitimate concerns of a large number of Americans who increasingly feel ignored by their government. These concerns include anemic economic growth. A growing economy produces private-sector jobs that create capital and wealth. These forgotten Americans are against open borders, which the president seemed to champion in his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly. Billionaire George Soros has pledged “to invest up to $500 million in programs and companies benefiting migrants and refugees fleeing life-threatening situations.”

Many are tired of fighting wars we don’t win and fighting terrorism with no clear strategy, all the while admitting more “refugees” from countries where terrorism is a way of death. They are weary of the denigration of law enforcement. Hardworking people are tired of being told they are not paying enough in taxes to a government that only wastes it.

The ignored are tired of being branded racists.

Christians are tired of being called homophobes and Islamophobes and told their beliefs are inferior to those who want to destroy the country and undermine values that were once widely held. If the secular progressive agenda is considered progress, as they claim, what would regress look like?

Choosing a president is always a roll of the dice (to use a Trump casino metaphor). We know what we will get with Hillary Clinton, including corruption at the highest level. Those foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation will undoubtedly expect something in return.

With Trump we don’t know for sure what we’ll get, beyond promises he has made and some contradictory positions he has taken. We can only hope that good people will serve and surround him, including running mate Mike Pence and the policy wonk Newt Gingrich.

Only one candidate for president is capable of overturning the “money changers” in Washington.

The political, governmental and media elites have had their chance to turn things around and they have failed.

Now it’s time for Trump.

I just hope I don’t have to eat my words.

Although he loves cedar and loved making the trees, Adams said his real desire is to help people who just need a chance.

“I know how it feels to be shunned, I know how it feels to be told no, I know how it feels to be ignored,” he said. This work is “the gift that keeps on giving.

Giving somebody an opportunity to change their own lives.”

But before starting anything new, Adams said he wants to make sure any open Sun Cedar business is resolved.

Afterward, however, he said “whatever I make next will be even better.”

In a news release, Adams said Sun Cedar has been recognized by the Douglas County Bar Association and the National Points of Light Organization for its contributions to the homeless, recoveringaddict and former-felon populations.

Adams said neither he nor Sun Cedar’s board of directors has ever drawn a paycheck from the business and that all the employees were paid $15 an hour.

In June, Sun Cedar garnered a bit of celebrity after actress Kristen Bell contributed $10,000 toward the business’s move into the Penn House. Now that Sun Cedar is no more, Adams says he encourages those who still wish to help to donate to the Penn House, which is a part of Ballard Community Services.

The Penn House offers a clothing pantry, a “Suitable for Work Professional Closet,” school kits and voluntary income tax assistance, among other things. More information can be found online at ballardcenter.org.

Gaps CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Board of Education used those standards in crafting the budget request it submitted to Gov. Sam Brownback’s office in July.

The cost: $900 million over the next two years.

“This is what we’re recommending in order to fund the (board’s) vision and the Rose Capacities,” Watson said.

Closing achievement gaps State education officials say they are struggling to come up with ways of measuring each of the Rose Capacities. Some — such as the needs for “sufficient grounding in the arts to enable each student to appreciate his or her cultural and historical heritage” — would seem to defy measurement.

parking for a property is located within 600 feet of its main entrance, as well as make an amendment to the Horizon 2020 comprehensive plan to allow for increased density.

Although some of the parking spaces are located within the 600-foot range, others are as far as 800 feet. The plan also requires a change in zoning from low-density residential to highdensity residential, though the area’s only designated use will be as a parking lot.

The site currently consists of an existing parking lot and two multifamily properties at 1029 and 1031 Mississippi St. The homes and the existing lot would be demolished in order to construct a new 68-space lot at the corner of Mississippi Street and Fambrough Drive.

As part of the project, Fambrough Drive would also be realigned to create a new fourway intersection with 11th and Mississippi Streets.

The majority of the property is owned by the KU Endowment Association, but HERE currently owns a parcel that it will transfer to KU should the project receive all necessary approvals. The existing parking lot is currently being used for gameday crowds at nearby Memorial Stadium.

As part of the agreement,

The best measures the state currently has, officials have said, are the standardized tests in English language arts, math, science and social studies, which at least give an indication of each student’s academic progress.

And results from those tests have consistently shown large differences in performance between minority and nonminority students, and between students from upper- and lower-income households.

Those same gaps also show up in national tests such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP exams, as well as college entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT. Rick Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education at the University of Kansas, said it’s an issue that education professionals and researchers have grappled with for decades and, to date, no one

HERE would lease the new 68-space lot from KU Endowment, and HERE tenants would have to vacate it about 10 days per year for KU home football games and other events. HERE would need to provide alternative parking for tenants on those days, and city staff indicated that HERE will provide a shuttle for tenants. A local representative for Chicago-based HERE acknowledged it wasn’t a perfect solution.

“There are just not that many options for creating a parking lot of this size in the proximity needed for this project,” said Brian Sturm, of Landplan Engineering. “This is a really great solution for the HERE Kansas parking dilemma just about every day out of the year, and it brings a number of public benefits to the city and to this neighborhood.”

The Planning Commission’s recommendation serves as guidance for the City Commission, which ultimately will make the final decision on whether the project receives the necessary approvals.

Strum said the project is a “three-way win” for the HERE project, KU and the city. He noted that in addition to the long-sought realignment of Fambrough Drive, the project would be a “complete street” that includes a sidewalk and 10-foot shared use path.

Kyle Thompson, chair of the Oread Residents Association, did not agree. Thompson said

has come up with an easy, or inexpensive, solution.

“It is a daunting task, but there are some promising programs out there that show that the gaps can be closed,” he said. “The biggest challenge is the great wealth inequality in our nation that evidence suggests drives the multiple challenges that are faced.”

Education Commissioner Watson agreed that poverty is one of the biggest drivers of low student performance. He also said there are strategies schools can use to overcome the effects of poverty, but he noted most of those come with hefty price tags.

“Mental health is an issue. We’ve got to have more counselors and

L awrence J ournal -W orld he thought parking problems in the neighborhood would get worse because tenants were likely to avoid the hassle of a shuttle and just use on-street parking in the Oread Neighborhood instead.

The $75 million luxury apartment complex at 1111 Indiana St. opened to residents in midAugust after several delays that caused waiting tenants to find lodging at area hotels. The complex consists of 624 bedrooms and 13,500 square feet of commercial space. HERE is currently only allowed to fill about 550 of those bedrooms because the complex’s parking garage does not have enough spaces.

Originally, the development was to have a robotic valet parking garage that would have had the capacity for the entire complex, but the company responsible for producing that robotic system went bankrupt earlier this year. The proposed project would get the HERE project back into compliance with the city’s parking requirements and allow all 624 apartments to be occupied.

Planning commissioners voted 9 to 1 to recommend the project for approval, with Commissioner James Carpenter voting against it. Carpenter said he didn’t think it was the city’s problem to solve or that the problem with robotic parking was totally unforeseen.

social workers, and Kansans have told us that,” he said. “Well, that’s more money. And that doesn’t even count as instruction.

“We want to reduce class sizes in some areas, and that costs more money,” Watson continued.

“We have a teacher shortage, and that shortage is going to get greater if you look at the pipeline. Part, not all, but part of that is salary. There are certainly other factors included. So all of those have a dollar tag to them, even though dollars exclusively are not solely the answer.”

The Lawrence school district also has launched several initiatives of its own. District spokeswoman Julie Boyle said that for the last several years, more

than 1,500 administrators, faculty members, staff and school board members have gone through training workshops to learn how to talk about race and understand the nature of racial disparities.

And much of the district’s recent $92.5 million bond issue focused on renovating schools and reducing class sizes in elementary schools in the eastern and central portions of the city where most of the district’s low-income and minority students are clustered.

At the state level, however, Watson said reducing class sizes, lengthening the school day and the school year, providing more earlychildhood education and funding all-day kindergarten are also strategies that

BRIEFLY Shareholders approve sale of Westar Energy Topeka (ap) — Stockholders have approved the $12.2 billion sale of Topekabased electric company Westar Energy to Missouri-based Great Plains Energy.

Both companies reported Monday that participating shareholders overwhelmingly approved the deal.

Each firm said the holders of more than 60 percent of their shares participated.

They said the owners of 95 percent or more of that stock approved the sale.

Federal and state regulators also must sign off on the deal.

The companies hope to complete the sale next spring.

The companies have said combining would create efficiencies and keep consumers’ rates in check. Westar stockholders would receive $51 in cash and $9 in Great Plains stock for each share.

have worked in some areas. And many of those are addressed in the budget request that the State Board of Education submitted this summer.

But the question will be how many, if any, of those things lawmakers will be willing or able to fund next year, given the state’s dire financial condition, and how much time the Supreme Court will give the state to close the achievement gaps.

“It’ll be interesting to see, if the court does rule in favor of the plaintiff, if they would agree to a multiple-year plan and would they keep jurisdiction over that plan,” Watson said.

FIGHT NIGHT

Clinton and Trump tangle over jobs and race in first of 3 debates David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump went after each other early and often during Monday’s opening debate, arguing over race, gender, trade, government regulation, and whose economic approach would best generate growth and job creation.

“Donald, I know you live in your own reality,” Clinton said during the highly anticipated showdown at Hofstra University, saying the New York businessman constantly tells untruths, promotes “trickle down” economics that benefits the wealthy, and dabbles in racism and sexism.

The first debate of the general election campaign saw Clinton needle Trump throughout, as she called him by his first name and noted his inconsistent policy statements and claims. He pushed back, often raising his voice and sniffing. One focus group of undecided voters led by Republican pollster Frank Luntz showed Clinton the winner.

After the debate, Trump made an unprecedented appearance in the “spin room,” where campaign officials try to persuade reporters that their candidate won.

Trump said the “holier than thou” former secretary of State, senator, and first lady is a “typical politician” who has pushed bad policies for 30 years — particularly in trade — and wants to in-

Provocative Trump, who unexpectedly claimed the Republican presidential nomination over a dozen rivals with stronger political résumés?

ered his signature, dire view of the state of the nation. “We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us,” he said, denouncing the threat from Mexico and China and elsewhere. “We have to stop our jobs from leaving the United States and with it firing all our

Clinton’s response to the first question reflected her own signature style as well, cramming a dozen bullet-point policy proposals into a two-minute answer, from infrastructure investment and a higher minimum wage to equal pay for women and debtfree college.

Then, despite all the speculation beforehand that she would try to come across as more likeable, she chose to be a counterpuncher. That said, her response to him seemed marked more by amusement than anger, and she made a point of smiling.

He blamed her for the rise of Islamic State.

“I have a feeling by the end of this evening, I’m going to be blamed for everything,” she replied.

One last fling for Rosetta: A slow-motion collision course Comet chaser kept fans enrapt on Earth Traci Watson

Special to USA TODAY

For a billion miles, the tireless spacecraft called Rosetta has shadowed an icy comet through the solar system, enduring dust storms, fountains of gas and the comet’s mood swings.

Faithful to the end, Rosetta is about to join the comet for eternity.

Early Friday, the craft will smash in slow motion onto the

comet. Moving at the pace of a stroll, Rosetta will touch down, bounce and eventually come to rest, probably breaking its solar panels or instrument booms as it tumbles. No word from it will ever reach Earth again.

It’s “unusual to end a mission by actually crashing it into the thing you’ve been studying,” says Christopher Carr of Britain’s Imperial College London, who works on the mission. “We’ll be quite emotional when we finally see that last bit of data.”

As the spacecraft follows the comet, both travel ever farther from the sun, starving the ship of the solar power it needs.

Rather than sending Rosetta on a suicide mission, managers at the European Space Agency could simply turn it off. But then it would become “another piece of junk in the solar system,” says Jean-Baptiste Vincent of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, another scientist working on the mission.

By sending Rosetta on a collision course, the spacecraft’s handlers will not only keep the celestial neighborhood tidy but will also collect priceless data.

The ship’s cameras should snap pictures until the craft is 50 feet above the comet’s surface. Other instruments will keep running as

scientists hold their breath that everything works. “You can only do it once,” Carr says.

Rosetta will smack down onto an intriguing region called Ma’at,

which is dotted with pits deep enough to hide Washington’s Lincoln Memorial. Scientists determined the pits are sources of dust jets blasting from the comet, and researchers are eager to learn more about the pits’ role.

Unfortunately Rosetta’s grave will not be close to that of its fellow adventurer Philae, a minicraft that journeyed aboard Rosetta from Earth, then made a bold bid to land on the comet.

Philae survived a perilous touchdown in 2014, but its deeply shadowed resting spot receives too little sunlight to power its electronics. This year, mission controllers gave it up for dead.

crease taxes and regulations on businesses that are already struggling to survive.

“Hillary has experience, but it’s bad experience,” Trump said. He and his Democratic rival have two more debates to go before the Nov. 8 election.

Issues of race and gender drew some of the many sharp exchanges in what may be the most watched political debate in U.S. history.

Trump avoided explaining why he suddenly announced this month he now believes President Obama was born in Hawaii, after years of suggesting otherwise. He again accused Clinton partisans of spreading “birtherism” during the 2008 Democratic primaries, though no evidence ties it directly to her or her campaign. Officials from the 2008 Clinton campaign said they did not spread the birther claim that year.

Clinton said Trump built his political career by promoting the “racist lie” that Obama was not an American citizen. Noting that a Trump company was sued for housing discrimination back in the 1970s, “So he has a long record of engaging in racist behavior,” Clinton said.

Trump answered by saying the Justice Department sued numerous companies for racial discrimination at the time.

Asked about the recent spate of police shootings and racial unrest, Clinton said, “we have to restore trust between communities and the police,” and Trump does not understand the challenges

facing cities. Trump said “we need law and order in our country,” and that crime falls heavily on African-American and Hispanic families.

At another point, Trump did not retract previous comments that Clinton lacks “the look” and “the stamina” to be president. In a possible reference to her health,

Trump said “I don’t believe Hillary has the stamina” to endure the burdens of the presidency.

Clinton replied that when Trump travels to 120 countries and engages in marathon testimony to congressional committees, as she has done over the years, then “he can talk to me about stamina.”

Citing Trump’s past references to looks, Clinton said “this is a man who calls women pigs, slobs, and dogs.”

In another one of the rough exchanges that punctuated the evening, Clinton joked that “I have a feeling that by the end of this evening I’m gonna be blamed for everything.” Trump shot back, “why not?”

Clinton replied, “Join the debate by saying more crazy things.”

Taking an aggressive approach to her Republican opponent, Clinton hammered Trump for refusing to release his personal tax returns, as has been standard for presidential candidates for four decades. “There’s something he’s hiding,” Clinton said, suggesting it might be that he is not as wealthy as he claims, hasn’t given much to charity, or in some years hasn’t paid any taxes at all.

Clinton accused Trump of “rooting” for the housing crisis a decade ago, ignoring the threat of climate change, and failing to pay contractors on various projects he has sponsored. Trump responded by saying, “that’s called business.”

Playing defense, Trump said he won’t release his taxes because they are are under audit.

“Just join the debate by saying more crazy things,” she replied.

They jabbed each other in the fiercest and most personal series of exchanges in a presidential debate in modern times. He portrayed her as one of the political hacks who has led the nation dangerously astray. “It’s all words, it’s all sound bites,” he said dismissively, repeatedly interrupting her and at times audibly snorting as she spoke.

She portrayed him as a questionable businessman with few specific plans and a limited grasp of the facts, advocating economic policies she repeatedly dubbed “Trumped-up trickle-down.” She accused him of racist behavior in questioning President Obama’s birthplace and questioned what he was trying to hide by refusing to release his tax returns while they are being audited.

Holt tried with limited success to limit the interruptions and keep the debate on schedule.

The setting inside the debate hall at Hofstra University looked dignified enough to fit in the White House itself, with a dark blue backdrop, a discrete band of white stars and a depiction of a golden eagle soaring over the two contenders. But the mood surrounding the opening forum was almost gladitorial.

No presidential election in modern times has defied the conventional wisdom as much as this

one, which has ended up pitting a political neophyte and reality-TV star against the wife of a former president, a member of the family that defines the Democratic es-

tablishment. And no presidential debate in the television age has been more hotly anticipated.

A few hours before the debate, Trump was needling Clinton on Twitter, a platform he has perfected as a political weapon. “My team of deplorables will be managing my Twitter account for this evenings debate,” he wrote, a reference to her description at a fundraiser of his followers as a “basket of Deplorables.”

Clinton was tweeting about the same time: “Trump told 31 outright lies just last week.”

History demonstrates that the opening debate can be powerful enough to boost a candidate or

wound one, with lasting consequences. Eleven campaigns have included debates in the television age. In nine of them, it shaped the trajectory of the campaign that followed in fundamental ways.

The first debate helped elect John Kennedy in 1960 and Ronald Reagan in 1980. It helped defeat Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Al Gore in 2000.

They typically have had the most impact when an incumbent president isn’t running, and when the candidates come in with something to prove, and when the contest is close and fluid.

That is, in a campaign like this one.

As Wall Street digests the first debate showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, whether stocks zig or zag in Tuesday trading based on the debate’s outcome might be irrelevant in the long run.

Past performance shows that how stocks ultimately perform after a U.S. presidential election has more to do with how the economy is doing and less about who’s in power, John Higgins, chief markets economist at Capital Economics, noted in a report.

Economics — not politics — is the main driver of stock performance. The double-digit percentage losses for the S&P 500 stock index in the year following elections between 1968 and 1980,

Higgins wrote, “can largely be attributed to the weakness of the economy during that period.”

Similarly, the market’s 13% loss in 2001 was due to the “fallout from the bursting of the dot.com bubble in 2000” and mild recession that followed, not the election of Republican George W. Bush.

On the bullish side, Higgins says stock gains of more than 25% in the years following the 1984 and 1988 elections wasn’t about a big shift in the balance of power, but instead “reflected a rebound in the market’s valuation level from a depressed level, as economic fortunes improved.”

The same can be said for the 23% gain in 2009 as stocks recovered from the financial crisis, he adds.

With no recession in sight, Higgins doubts the outcome of the election “will send equity prices into a tailspin, whatever the result.”

EPA’s gas mileage ratings drop for some 2017 models Kelsey Mays Cars.com

New-car shoppers will see mileage numbers on stickers of many 2017 model-year cars that are lower than their 2016 predecessors, even though the vehicles have no mechanical differences.

It’s due to a change in the way the Environmental Protection Agency calculates window-sticker gas mileage in an effort to better reflect real-world mileage, the agency and automakers say.

The change could meaningful-

ly affect EPA ratings on nearly 30% of all new cars, a Cars.com analysis of 2017 model-year EPA data indicates.

The analysis looked at the top 75 best-selling vehicles through July with no mechanical or aerodynamic changes. Out of that group, there were 84 variations of individual vehicles (the V-6 versus the 4-cylinder, for example).

Twenty-three, or 27.4%, received a lower EPA highway and city combined driving mileage rating for the 2017 model year.

The revisions could cause consumers to change their minds

VOLKSWAGEN

Volkswagen will see a gas-mileage drop — about 2 mpg combined — on the 2017 Passat compared to 2016.

about models. Bill Meyer, a Kansas City, Mo., attorney, saw the 2017 Volkswagen Passat he has been eyeing fell 4 miles per gal-

lon, from 38 mpg to 34 mpg, in its EPA highway mileage rating, and 2 mpg combined.

“When I looked at the sticker, I thought, ‘Wow, this is taking a big hit,’ ” Meyer said. “Why is there such a mileage discrepancy?

Thirty-four is not nearly as interesting to me as 38. So it’s making me rethink my decision.”

Models seeing the drop of a mile per gallon in combined ratings included versions of Honda Accord, Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Sonata. Versions of the Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Camry Hybrid fell by 2 mpg in combined

highway and city driving.

The recalculation means shoppers can’t compare 2017 mileage numbers to 2016 predecessors, but Cars.com has learned the EPA plans to address this soon with updates to its website that will allow shoppers to compare the new numbers with models as far back as the 2011 model year.

Real-world mileage shouldn’t change for drivers, but the EPA ratings could fall noticeably in the agency’s biggest adjustment since it issued sweeping changes to window-sticker mileage ratings nearly a decade ago.

Anyone who has attended more than one Bruce Springsteen concert knows that somewhere in the show’s second half, The Boss will wax nostalgic.

He’ll call on a REVIEW memory from his early — not his glory — days, and deliver a touching anecdote about his mom, his dad, or his hometown of Freehold, N.J., before counting the E Street Band into whatever song best captures the story’s emotion.

SPRINGSTEEN’S STORY TOLD WITH LYRICAL INTIMACY glorious display in Springsteen’s autobiography, Born to Run (Simon & Schuster, 528 pp., eeee out of four), a philosophically rich ramble through a rock ’n’ roll life that began like many others, in small-town obscurity and nearpoverty. By sweating it out on the streets of a runaway American dream, Bruce reached the superstardom he coveted the moment he saw Elvis Presley on The Ed Sullivan Show.

“FUN … it is waiting for you, Mr. and Mrs. Everyday American, and guess what? It is your birthright,” writes Springsteen of that galvanic Elvis moment. Springsteen’s familiar stage voice, his corny carny barker way with action verbs, leaps from the page in assessing what Elvis promised: “The life-blessing, wall-destroying, heart-changing, mind-opening bliss of a freer, more liberated existence.”

Springsteen chased that promise, and while still a teenager he became a working musician, a fierce guitar-slinger who led his early groups, The Castiles and Steel Mill, to crowd-rousing success in the clubs of the Jersey shore. That was before he found his voice as a singer and songwriter and assembled his multicultural triumph, the E Street Band.

Solitary and self-disciplined, he stubbornly avoided alcohol and drugs. Throughout the book, Springsteen pays detailed homage to his bandmates, especially the departed: saxophonist and immortal “Big Man” Clarence

Bruce Springsteen, performing in Switzerland July 31, is still going strong after more than 40 years.

Clemons and organist Danny Federici.

Ambivalence rules his recollections. Springsteen’s birthright was far from blissful, although he was doted upon by a grandmother and his mother, Adele, an ultra-competent legal secretary.

She held the family together in the deep shadow of a father, Doug, who drank silently and sullenly, often exploding with inarticulate rage. Doug, Springsteen writes, loved his son but “couldn’t stand me” for siphoning so much of the family’s female affection.

In Springsteen’s telling, this Freudian drama defines much of his journey, and though his relationship with his father mellows, we learn that an aging Bruce — now 67 — has had to battle his own demons of crippling depres-

sion, winning out with the help of therapists, Klonopin and the rock-steadiness of his wife, E Street singer Patti Scialfa, and their three children.

Yet as much as he reveals, he doesn’t kiss and tell or point fingers, and he shoulders the full blame for his failed first marriage to actress Julianne Phillips. (“Julianne loved me … but … I was sliding back toward the chasm where rage, fear, distrust, insecurity and a family-patented misogyny made war with my better angels.”)

Reading his intimate look back on a remarkable yet troubled life, it’s safe to say that Bruce’s aesthetic wouldn’t be complete without this long-form Song of Springsteen. It’s the lyric he was born to write.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

TELEVISION

Time twists in ‘This Is Us’ only deepen the realism Bill Keveney @billkev USA TODAY

Several new fall shows focus on time travel, but the temporal shift of NBC’s This Is Us is the most subtle and unexpected.

The premiere episode’s revelation — that Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) are seen decades earlier than the present-day characters who are their children — may have been the biggest early surprise of the new fall season.

The premiere, which drew a strong 13.5 million viewers within three days, will continue to juggle eras: 36-year-old siblings Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) in the present, and younger versions of themselves (and their parents) at points in the past.

Tuesday’s second episode (10 ET/PT) finds Jack and Rebecca in the late 1980s, managing a trio of 8-year-olds.

“You’ll see how these relationships and bonds form,” Moore says. This week’s episode “gets to the root of a bit of a fracture in this marriage. Eight years down the road, with these three children with very different needs, LOS ANGELES

Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown play a married couple with two daughters in This Is Us. (Us shows) how that impacted their relationship.”

Later episodes show how Jack and Rebecca met, the day they conceived the children (Randall was adopted after one of the triplets was stillborn) and various points in the kids’ upbringing.

The children face challenges as adults. Kevin, the beefcake star of a mindless sitcom, wants to be respected as an actor. Kate, who struggles with her weight and also lives in Los Angeles, approaches the prospect of ro-

mance with excitement and a bit of fear. Randall, a successful East Coast businessman and father of two, assesses his identity after tracking down his biological father (Ron Cephas Jones).

Adoption, especially interracial adoption, isn’t often explored on TV, Brown says.

“It will be interesting to see Randall’s socialization, how he interacts with the African-American community, how his wife (Susan Kelechi Watson) grounds him … the struggles his parents

make to introduce him to his culture, the things they need to learn,” he says.

Metz says Kate’s new relationship is “exciting because it rarely ever happens and, if it does, it’s kind of a joke: ‘Oh, this guy secretly likes the plus-size girl,’ ” she says. “It’s really nice that it’s not even a question of ‘Does she have interest or is somebody attracted to her?’ Of course they are, and why not?”

Kevin, who quit his sitcom in protest during an onstage tirade, must face his agent (Katey Sagal) and the network president (Brad Garrett) and decide whether he wants to beg for his job.

Kevin has been “coasting through life without even realizing he’s coasting,” Hartley says.

As an actor, “does he go back to being on The Manny or does he stick to his guns and take the consequences and do what he says he’s going to do and try to live a more fulfilled life?”

Ventimiglia sees universality in the individual stories.

“It’s a human connection. You look at the TV landscape now and there’s alien invasions, superheroes, scandals at the White House level. This is something that’s hopeful,” he says. “Anyone in any walk of life can connect to the characters.”

Dear Annie: My husband is a passionate sports fan whose mood fluctuates with the performance of his teams. He has always been passionate about sports, since before we started dating.

Now that we are married with children, this passion has become increasingly frustrating to me. To watch the games, he will miss activities with our children and me. He’s missed school events, our kids’ sporting events, my birthday and even one of our anniversaries.

To make it worse, if his teams lose, his temper becomes out of control.

He will remain in a bad mood for a few days and be short with all of us. He has never been physically violent but will be verbally abusive. He’ll listen to sports talk radio and comment back to himself, usually in nasty language,

Dear Annie

in front of the kids.

How can I make my husband a calmer fan? — Worried Wife Dear Worried: Time to blow the whistle and call a foul; your husband’s sports obsession has gone way outside the bounds of what’s healthy.

He needs an intervention. He is emotionally dependent on sports, and it is impacting your relationship and your family.

Sit down with him and explain to him the impact his obsession is having.

Clinton’s and Trump’s pasts shown The “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) joint profile “The Choice” offers overlapping glances at the lives of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It’s easy to see how these two people, and highly polarizing personalities, were formed well before they reached the age of 10.

Both had very demanding and unaffectionate fathers. Fred Trump instilled a competitive instinct in his children, telling them that the world was divided between successful people and “losers,” urging them to develop a “killer” instinct.

When Clinton came home with straight A’s, her father, Hugh Rodham, would demean her and say that the school must be too easy. He was verbally and emotionally abusive to his wife.

Some theorize that the toxic atmosphere in the Rodham household contributed to Hillary’s penchant for secrecy and reserve.

Beyond the personal psychobiography, Trump and Clinton are depicted as baby boomers who all but symbolize the culture and gender wars of the past half-century.

Clips show Clinton in the mid1970s, as the young first lady of Arkansas, who constantly had to answer questions about her hair, her glasses, her Ivy League law degree, her use of her maiden name and her decision to work as a lawyer. In short, her refusal to play the role of doting female accessory then associated with being a governor’s wife.

Trump’s military-school classmates recall how much the Playboy magazine ethos and Hugh Hefner in particular shaped their worldview. And some admit here that Trump still sounds like the cocky teen from their old dormitory bull sessions.

Friends and classmates of both candidates feel neither has changed terribly much since their school days.

Two hours in length, “The Choice” goes far beyond the headlines, sound bites and tweets to reach back some 70 years to explore the content and the character of the man and woman who would be president.

Tonight’s other highlights O Blind auditions continue on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TVPG).

O “The Contenders: 16 for 16” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) recalls the campaigns of Michael Dukakis and Mitt Romney.

O A female pilot faces an unsympathetic jury on “Bull” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Will Sasso and Bobby Lee appear on the season finale of “MADtv” (8 p.m., CW, TV-14).

Encourage him to take a break from watching the games and replace the viewing with activities with the kids that will enable him to re-engage in their lives and activities.

As with any addiction, it won’t be quick or easy to break this habit. Be positive with your husband, and allow him to find the help he needs so he can be happier about a goal scored by your children than one by his favorite team.

Dear Annie: A woman broke up with me a year ago, and we have been on good terms for the most part since then. I have since moved and recently came back to town to visit some friends. We run with the same groups, and I ran into her at a bar.

She appeared fine, but soon after leaving, she sent me a series of angry, disappointed texts because I hadn’t told her

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 27: This year you become much more independent, but find less of a need to demonstrate this quality. If you are single, you will enjoy dating more than you’d thought possible. If you are attached, the two of you often get angry with each other, but then make up and experience a range of emotions that you both enjoy.

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) ++++ Focus on making what you want happen. For many of you, this activity surrounds your work.

Tonight: Go for what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You are capable of sitting on an issue for a long period of time. Keep reaching out for more information. Tonight: Celebrate the moment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ An associate or loved one could feel as if you are pushing him or her too hard. Do not lose sight of your long-term goals. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You could be driven to change direction, especially as a close associate pushes you to agree with him or her. Tonight: Return calls.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You’ll wake up feeling ready to take on nearly any project or responsibility. You might feel as if you are Superman or Superwoman for the day! Tonight: Pay bills first.

I was coming into town and this apparent dismissal had dug up a lot of old wounds for her. I was really taken aback. I told her we could get coffee to talk about it in person the next day, but when she didn’t contact me, I just avoided it, I guess. Was I wrong? — Sorry Dear Sorry: You’re not obligated to be friends with anyone, and that goes double for exes. If what happened during your visit “dug up a lot of old wounds,” she should be able to understand why you might not want to see her. And if she cared about the friendship so much, she wouldn’t have blown off your attempts to patch things up over coffee. I don’t know what her problem is, but you’re not the one to fix it.

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

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Let others know what you are thinking after you hear where they are coming from. You still might decide to hold back some thoughts, regardless. Tonight: It is your call.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You might want to see both sides of an argument more clearly. Tonight: Keep your cool.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ You might want to do a better job of listening. Do not personalize anything you hear right now.

Tonight: Chat with a friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Try to gain a new perspective; discussions will be much easier from that point on. Tonight: Make the most of the night. You could be out till the wee hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You could see someone in a new light. Lie low for now, and listen to others argue. Tonight: Take a walk or head to the gym.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ You might consider keeping a journal to figure out why you feel out of sorts so often. Tonight: In the limelight.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ You might decide that a partner or close associate needs more time. This person could be pushing hard to achieve more of what he or she wants. Tonight: Listen to an offer.

Well Commons Get ready to walk to school 1C

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

L

awrence-area students are once again dusting off their walking shoes in preparation for this fall’s annual Walk to School Day. Slated for Oct. 5, the global event encourages kids — and their parents — to walk or bike to school on a designated day each year. All Lawrence elementary schools — with the exception of Pinckney, which has moved students to Lawrence’s East Heights School while undergoing renovations — are participating in this year’s local celebrations, says Michael Showalter, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s health promotion specialist.

The health benefits of walking, he says, are obvious. In addition to spurring more physical activity overall in kids, studies link walking with helping to maintain healthy weight, blood pressure and bones, muscles and joints, Showalter said.

There’s also, he said, the promise of social interaction that kids won’t

find in a car commute.

“It’s about togetherness and connecting with your community and your friends,” says Showalter, who also coordinates the Health

Department’s Safe Routes to School program.

He has seen plenty of groggy kids in school

Local artists and Downtown Tuesday Painters Joanna Ward (foreground) and Charlotte Nease were photographed recently as they worked on their projects at the Douglas County Senior Center. The Downtown Tuesday Painters will have their art on display during the Lawrence ArtWalk.

Are you looking for a great way to spend time on a beautiful fall weekend? Come out for the 21st Annual Lawrence ArtWalk. This wonderful Lawrence tradition happens every year in late October and gives visitors an opportunity to get a jump on their holiday shopping. An original work of art makes a perfect gift. Our own Downtown Tuesday Painters’ work will be on display – and for sale – at the Douglas County Senior Center, 745 Vermont Street on Saturday, October 22, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, October 23, Noon to 6 p.m.

Learn more about ArtWalk at lawrenceartwalk.org.

Legislative Candidate Forum Oct. 6 Please plan to attend the Legislative Forum Thursday, Oct. 6, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont. This event is open to the entire community – seniors and those interested in issues that affect seniors.

Bring your questions, listen, and learn more about your Kansas House and Senate candidates and where they stand on issues that impact older adults in Douglas County. No registration is necessary. Light refreshments will be served.

Sponsored by the Douglas County Coalition on Aging, the Lawrence-Douglas County Advocacy Council on Aging, Community Village Lawrence, and AARP Kansas.

Safe Winter Walkways Signups Begin

Another significant change at Douglas County Senior Services has been to revise the mission, printed above along with our logo. Recently the Board of Directors and staff have engaged in strategic planning, which involved analyzing the environment for seniors in Douglas County, critiquing our progress in meeting their wants and needs, and identifying the right goals for the next few years. While we do well providing certain services for some, apparently most seniors believe we are irrelevant to them, are unaware of what we offer, or think that we are a governmental welfare agency. We also concluded that Douglas County Senior Services needs refreshing and “rebranding” to match what seniors in 2016 and beyond will want.

What do seniors want? They want solutions to the growing complexities of aging. Problem-solving methods used when younger do not work as well anymore. Aging and attitudes towards it held by previous generations no longer fit. As if that weren’t challenging enough, entrepreneurs and service agencies want to capitalize on the great potential in the growing market of seniors. Expansion is everywhere, but more choices do not necessarily make decisions easier.

The mushrooming list of resources, niche services, and expanding opportunities can be overwhelming, especially when a senior is suddenly in crisis or in new, unfamiliar circumstances. Furthermore, in spite of the growing number of resources, gaps still exist.

Helping seniors navigate the complexity and confusion will become a function of Douglas County Senior Services.

Our new direction will be to provide information to help sort through options. Be assured, though, we will not abandon our current services. The needs we now meet will continue to be important to our purpose.

How will we fulfill this expanded mission? What will the new Douglas County Senior Services look like? Will it even have the same name? That, my friends, will be the subject of my next column.

Audio-Reader’s Audio Description Efforts Growing Audio Description is a narration service that describes the visual elements of a performance or work of art. This description includes sets, costumes, action on stage, facial expressions, etc. While used primarily by people with vision loss, it can also be helpful to those with cognitive issues, learning disability, autism, or English language learners. This year, Audio-Reader is working with area theaters and museums to expand the amount of Audio Description.

Here is a list of upcoming performances with Audio Description: October: • Blind Boys of Alabama: October 1, 7:30 p.m., Lied Center. A limited number of complimentary tickets are available for this show. Includes a pre-show discussion regarding accessibility in the arts, along with an Audio Description demonstration. Call 785-864-4604 for more information or to request tickets.

• The Capitol Steps, October 8, 7:30 p.m., Lied Center • Shanghai Acrobats, October 14, 7 p.m., Lied Center

The winter months bring more than cold weather and higher utility bills. For many seniors in our community, it also brings the worry of how to clear their public walkways when it snows. Douglas County Senior Services is partnering with the City of Lawrence again this winter on the Safe Winter Walkways program to alleviate that concern for those who are both physically and financially unable to remove the snow from their public sidewalks. The deadline to sign up for the program is Friday, November 18. To request volunteer assistance in removing snow from your public walkway within the city limits of Lawrence, call 785-832-3338. No requests will be processed after November 18.

The Safe Winter Walkways program is currently recruiting volunteers to assist with snow removal. Volunteers will be matched with those needing assistance and will then be responsible for clearing the public walkways for that individual after each snowfall. This is a wonderful opportunity for able-bodied folks to help their neighbors. To volunteer, please call 785-832-3338, or go online at www.lawrenceks.org.

Fundamentals of Estate Planning Nov. 10 There’s no time like the present to plan for your future. You don’t have a crystal ball; no one knows what lies ahead. Being proactive in planning for the eventualities that we all face will ease not only your mind but your family members’ too.

Join Robert Ramsdell for Fundamentals of Estate Planning on Thursday, November 10, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Douglas County Senior Center, 745 Vermont, Lawrence. Topics related to estate planning that will be covered include what happens under intestate succession if you die without a plan; the uses of a Will or Revocable Living Trust; an overview of probate administration; the impact of estate and gift taxes; non-testamentary transfer options, such as holding property in a joint tenancy; powers of attorney for financial and healthcare decision-making; Living Wills and Do Not Resuscitate Directives; and a very general overview of how limitations on Medicaid eligibility might affect your assets.

This class is cosponsored by Douglas County Senior Services and the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.

The presentation lasts about an hour, followed by an open question-and-answer period. There is no need to register.

Learn What to Expect at “Welcome to Medicare” October 12 Learning to navigate the complexities of Medicare can seem overwhelming. There are so many things to consider when you’re new to Medicare. We’re here to help. Join Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) Coordinator Barbara Sutterfield for this overview of the Medicare program from noon to 1 p.m., Wednesday, October 12. Learn the differences between original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans. Bring your questions.

A Letter from District Attorney Charles Branson - Online Banking Scam In September, I heard about a scam hitting Kansans involving online bank customers. In this particular scam, the banking customers received a pop-up message after checking their banking accounts. The message was labeled as a security warning and it gave a phone number to call regarding their banking account. When the victims called, they were asked for their credit or debit card number. It was a scam and an attempt to take money from their accounts.

Most of us are accustomed to being wary of anyone who calls or sends e-mails claiming to be with a bank and requesting

our personal information; however, we also need to be aware that scammers will try to get us on the hook by using pop-up messages. Know that clicking on pop-up messages can take you to malicious sites.

Even if the message appears to be from a trusted source, DO NOT TRUST IT! You want to be certain you do not inadvertently provide your personally identifiable information or banking information to a scammer looking to empty your bank account.

How can you know if a message is real?

Go to the official website of the bank, call them directly or, for a local business, you

can visit them in person. The FBI released a public service announcement in June that provides more details than we can provide in this short article. If you would like to read more information on what you can do to protect yourself, your bank account, and your computer from scams like these, please see the public service announcement, “FBI Tech Support Scam,” at ic3.gov/media/2016/160602.aspx. While it is generally about the “tech support scam,” excellent information is included on handling pop-ups and what you can do for defense and mitigation.

If you have previously or if you are

currently receiving scam pop-up messages of this type, please contact our Consumer Protection Division at 785-330-2849.

We track what scams are active in our community and we can send out additional warnings to the community when increased scam activity warrants it. We are always ready to serve the citizens of Douglas County.

Book Review - The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America’s National Parks By Terry Tempest Williams Reviewed by Barbara Watkins

To help celebrate the centennial of the creation of the National Park Service, Terry Tempest Williams’ new book The Hour of Land (Sarah Crichton Books/ Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2016) explores twelve of our national parks in a series of essays that are a unique combination of histories, personal meditations, and assessments of the challenges these parks face in the twenty-first century.

The essays are accompanied by historic photos and the “Gallery” at the end, which describes the work of these acclaimed photographers. “This is a book about relationships inside America’s national parks...the bonds formed, severed, and renewed within these federal lands are complicated.” In what has been described as “America’s best idea,” the United States was the first nation to preserve important scenic places as shared spaces that could be visited by all.

Williams is an environmentalist, activist, and prolific author of 15 books and many articles on a wide variety of topics that explore her relationship with nature. She lives in southern Utah, where the desert landscape and Mormon culture have been primary influences on her work.

She begins with a hike in one of her favorite parks, the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and then explores eleven other parks from coast to coast, Arcadia in Maine to Alcatraz in California, and the Gulf Islands in the South to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska. In her introduction, she asserts that “Language and landscape are my inspiration.”

Williams and her husband, Brooke, often hike with her father, a still robust former natural-gas pipeline layer in the American West. For the hike in the Grand Tetons, four generations of their family gather to celebrate his eightieth birthday.

She describes the Tetons as her “Mother Park.” “Our entire Tempest clan can be found here most summers, climbing peaks, hiking trails, and cherishing the wildflowers and wildlife...” Her father asserts that “heaven is here.”

In a stark contrast, Williams’ trip to the Gulf Islands National Seashore as a reporter in July 2010, shortly after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, was hellish. This devastation also affected seven other national parks in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as 400 wildlife species and dozens of bird species. Williams

attempts to “grapple with the magnitude of this political, ecological, and spiritual crisis” by sharing the stories of several people who live there. The pilot who flies Williams and her colleagues across the Gulf Islands is reassuring: “The untold story is that the beauty is still here, in spite of hurricanes, oil spills, and a sinking landscape.”

Other parks face similar challenges: forest fires often caused by dry weather and bark beetle infestation, which kills trees (Glacier National Park had 26 fires the summer Williams visited there in 2003), dying coral reefs, fracking near park boundaries, and receding glaciers due to global warming.

President Obama has added twenty-two new national monuments (only Congress can designate a new national park).

There are now 412 national parks and monuments with more than 300 million visitors a year. Several of the new sites tell the stories of our cultural history and honor, among others, Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, the Buffalo Soldiers, and Caesar Chavez, whose national monument Williams visits in her last chapter.

As I read this fine book, I reminisced about my own wonderful experiences in the National Parks and other wilderness areas: hiking and climbing mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park with my family in my years growing up, working as a forest-fire lookout next to Glacier National Park in my honeymoon summer and enjoying cocktail hour with a few bold mountain goats on the deck of that park’s Sperry Chalet, canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters and sharing the smell of campfire-cooked breakfast bacon with a friendly common loon who flew in every morning to join us, and laughing at the antics of the fox who had fallen in love with my teenage daughter when we camped on Isle Royale – he would jump on our picnic table, wait patiently, and then walk with her down the trail to the general store.

These parks belong to all of us. They are ours to enjoy and protect, and to help ensure that they will thrive and be enjoyed by future generations. As Williams asserts, we need to promise “a legacy of care. That we will be good stewards and not take too much or give back too little...”

Savvy Senior - Health Tips and Advice for Senior Travelers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are recently retired and would like to do some traveling both in the United States and abroad, but worry about health issues, such as insurance, finding a good hospital if we get sick, etc.

What tips can you offer health conscious seniors who want to travel?

Older Travelers Dear Travelers, A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get sick or injured while you’re away and aren’t prepared. Before setting out, here are some simple steps to help ensure a safe and healthy trip.

Talk to your doctor: If you have a medical condition or health concerns, a good first step is to talk with your doctor now about what precautions you need to take before traveling. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel, as well as a list of your medical conditions and the medications you’re taking in case you need emergency medical care while you’re away.

If you’re traveling outside the U.S., you need to find out the health conditions

LEGALESE

By Molly M. Wood

Q: Last month, I described the number and characteristics of Kansans who benefit from Social Security and how that program protects elderly, disabled, and widowed persons from abject poverty. This month, I promised to describe proposals to protect Social Security’s solvency.

A: The official definition of “solvency” is that the Social Security Administration is able to pay 100% of its obligations for 75 years.

The funding projections under current law only pay 100% through about 2034, so we need to either pay more or expect less in benefits to fund Social Security another 57 years.

Here are thumbnail sketches of some current proposals and their impact on solvency: • Make Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) calculations less generous using a different formula that would produce smaller increases – about .3% lower than the current method – which would get us about 25 years closer to solvency – out to about 2060.

• Increase the payroll contributions of current workers from 12.4% percent to 13.4%

to keep your medications in their original containers to get through airport security without delays. It’s also a good idea to bring along a note from your doctor that explains why you take these medications, especially if syringes or other medical supplies are involved.

For airport security requirements visit TSA.gov – click on “Disabilities and Medical Conditions.”You can also call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures, and what to expect at the security checkpoint.

Seek mobility aids: If mobility is an issue and you’re flying to your destination, call your airline before you leave and ask them to supply you a wheelchair to use while you’re in the airport. And when booking hotel reservations, ask for an accessible room that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers.

of the country you’re visiting and what, if any, vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended. See CDC. gov/travel or call 800-232-4636 to get this information.

Check your insurance: If you have health insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan through an HMO or PPO that covers in-network doctors only, check your plan to find out what’s covered if you need medical care when traveling outside your geographic area.

Beneficiaries that have original Medicare are covered everywhere in the U.S. but if you’re traveling abroad, you need to know that original Medicare does not cover medical expenses beyond the border except in rare circumstances, although some Medicare Advantage plans and some Medigap supplemental policies do. Many private health plans don’t pay health care costs outside the U.S. either.

Be sure to check.

If you need coverage when traveling abroad, get a comprehensive travel medical insurance policy that covers medical care, medical evacuation, and trip

cancellation coverage. See InsureMyTrip. com and SquareMouth.com to shop and compare policies.

Locate health care: Before your trip, find out what health and urgent care facilities are near the areas you’re visiting. Your hotel can help you with this, or see UrgentCareLocations.com or USHospitalFinder.com for U.S. facilities.

If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy in the countries you’re visiting (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Or join the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT.org), which provides its members access to a worldwide network of physicians who speak English and have agreed to affordable prearranged fees.

Membership is free.

Pack your meds: Make sure you have a sufficient supply of medications to last the entire trip.

If traveling by air, you need to pack your medicine in your carry-on bag, so if your checked luggage gets lost or misdirected you won’t be without. It’s best

over 10 years (.1% per year), beginning in 2017, which would get us closer to solvency by about 29 years, to 2065.

• Apply Social Security taxes to all earnings – in 2016, we only pay Social Security contributions on the first $118,500 of income, so folks who earn more than that limit don’t contribute on all their earnings. Removing the $118,500 cap on income to which Social Security contributions apply so that higher earners pay more would add about a dozen years to the current critical solvency date – out to about 2046 – if that change is applied immediately.

• Increase “normal retirement age” beyond age 67. The Office of the Chief Actuary estimates that raising the age to 69, which would increase the age-62 reduction and would almost eliminate the enhanced benefits of delaying retirement to age 70 under current law, would get us the furthest with a single change – through 2080.

There are lots of other “tweaks” that would make the program less generous and closer to solvent, many of which would be painful, but maybe less painful if phased in over a fairly long period. For example, in 1983, when the legislation that raised the normal retirement age from 65 to 67 was enacted, the increase

didn’t start for 17 years – until people who were 48 in 1983 began turning 65 in the year 2000 – and won’t be fully phased in until 2022, which doesn’t seem that far away anymore.

That change might have made sense at the time because it was reflecting increases in longevity, the Baby Boom population bulge, and that many of us work at sedentary jobs, but it didn’t really make allowance for folks who perform physically demanding work, many of whom are not high wage earners.

Some people think we should make Social Security benefits more generous for future beneficiaries who have work records based upon relatively lower earnings. Using a different COLA calculation method could provide for slightly more generous annual increases (and would accumulate significantly over time). Other people think we should overhaul the system entirely and fund individual accounts that workers can invest for themselves and get away from an insurancestyle funding system.

What you think about various proposals for changes probably depends upon whether you think our government should administer social insurance or you think that is not a proper government function. Contemplating changes to Social Security requires us to try to agree on

our goal.

On the heels of the Great Depression in 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt said: “We can never insure one hundred percent of the population against one hundred percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life, but we have tried to frame a law [the Social Security Act] which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against the loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age.”

Social Security has achieved a measure of success in these two goals – the recession of the last several years we weathered was less acute because the elderly and disabled had some money for food and shelter. It remains to be seen whether we can build successfully on that legacy.

Lawrence Public Library Book Talks Book talks sponsored by the Lawrence Public Library are presented at a number of locations around town.

Seniors are invited to join in the lively discussion of books, movies, and music available from the library. The materials are selected from the library’s collection and will be available for loan.

This is not a book club so you need not have read the material prior to the discussion. The volunteer will make the titles so interesting that you will want to read, watch, or listen to them!

Book talks last about an hour. You do not need to be a resident of the particular site to participate. For more information, contact Outreach Services Coordinator, Pattie Johnston at 785-843-3833 extension 115 or johnston@lawrence.lib.ks.us.

Beaty hopeful Air Raid familiarity will help defense

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Nearly a year ago, amid a season full of losses, the Kansas football team experienced a rare flicker of promise during a home setback against Texas Tech.

The game began as many before and after it, with the Jayhawks in a 20-point hole before halftime. But KU found ways to cut the Red Raiders’ lead to three points with less than seven minutes to play before falling, 30-20, at Memorial Stadium.

Now in his second season as head coach at Kansas, David Beaty was asked on Monday’s Big 12 coaches Beaty media teleconference whether that particular setback — sealed in the final five minutes, when Tech defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson picked off a Ryan Willis pass and returned it for a touchdown — served as a starting point for preparing for the upcoming Thursday night rematch of sorts (7:30 kickoff, FOX Sports 1) at Jones AT&T Stadium, in Lubbok, Texas.

Instead, Beaty emphasized how both Texas Tech and KU run versions of the Air Raid offense, and how that might impact the Big 12 opener for both programs.

“Our guys play against this offense every day. Now, in no way, shape or form am I trying to say we’re exactly like these guys,” Beaty clarified while comparing KU (27.7 points a game) with the Red Raiders (61.0 points, second in FBS to Louisville’s 63.5 average).

“We’re all different in what we do, but I do know this: The very bare bones of it are the same concepts.

So they’ve gotten to play against it a lot,” the coach added of KU’s defense.

“We’d like to hope that gives us a little bit of an advantage going into the game, knowing that they’ve seen these concepts before. But, you know, it’s not unlike that for them. They play against the same stuff, as well. So it should be a fun evening on Thursday night out there.”

Never lacking in the optimism department, Beaty recently cited some statistical comparisons that he hopes demonstrate how far KU has come as a defense over the past 12 months.

Among them were opponent passing yards per game, opponent passing efficiency and total defense.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

New approach ————————

Changes working for Lawrence High

T

he way some people griped about Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd resisting change you would have thought he still was walking around in short shorts from a few decades ago. Runs the ball too much. No imagination. Plays everybody both ways, etc.

He even found a for-sale sign on his front lawn several years ago.

Now here’s what those same people are saying about the Lawrence-to-the-bone high school football coach: Crickets.

That’s right, not a word.

The old ball coach has done the equivalent of taking a sledge hammer to the Victrola and listening to his music on ear pods connected to his iPhone.

And get this, it’s working way better than anybody could have had any right to expect.

On paper, some were asking the same preseason question about the Lawrence High and University of Kansas football teams: Does a two-victory season sound about right?

That projection is looking a little optimistic for Kansas and way too pessimistic for LHS a few games into both of their seasons.

Instead of loading up on two-way players, Wedd has gone to platooning players, limiting almost all of them to one side of the ball.

Not only that, the Lions run a no-huddle, up-tempo offense triggered by a quarterback who had never played the position, an approach similar to the one Wedd used when he had allstate performer Brad Strauss at quarterback.

All these changes for a team that lost 18 Dirk Wedd starters from a 10-1 squad bounced from the 6A playoffs by Blue Valley, 42-17, took some guts to implement.

“It’s been quite an experience for an old coach,” Wedd,

64, said of all the changes.

Wedd is in his 29th season coaching football at his alma mater, his 18th as head coach.

“You never want to say that an old dog can’t learn new tkeegan@ljworld.com tricks, because as a high school coach you have to be flexible to put your kids in the best position,” Wedd said.

With such loud talent a year ago, both in the speed and size departments, Wedd wanted his best athletes playing both ways.

With such a young roster, he decided to give platooning a try so that players would have half as many jobs and therefore could get twice as many reps. The players evidently are learning fast because the Lions defeated Shawnee Mission West, ranked No. 5 in the state in the preseason, 49-19 Friday night.

“It’s been a really good experience for us and the kids love it,” Wedd said. “Everybody wants to start, so we have 22 happy kids. Last year we had maybe 14 happy kids.”

One player has made Wedd particularly happy.

“We caught a break with a little kid who has been one heck of a quarterback,” Wedd said.

Speedy, high-flying Dante Jackson, a 5-foot-6, 135-pound junior, plays a little defensive back, too, but Wedd knows he needs to keep him fresh enough to lead the offense.

The line Jackson plays behind develops more quickly and stays fresher during games because they don’t have to stay on the field to play defense.

From left to right, the blockers are: Kristian Russell, Nick Englebert, Jacob Mills, Jesse Tunget and Kevin Nichols.

Also, Kobe Buffalomeat, a 6-8, 282-pound basketball player who did not come out for football the past two seasons, “is really rounding into a good player who has helped us a lot,” Wedd said.

Wedd said he knew he had a great athlete in Jackson and a “really good football player” in three-year starter Jake Unruh, a 6-1, 251-pound defensive lineman. He also said he knew he could bank on strong play from fellow senior Mark Greene. But for the most part, the coach had more questions than answers coming into the season.

“The kids are really doing a good job,” Wedd said.

“They’re getting twice as much coaching, and not having to flip halfway through practice means practices are shorter and the kids like that too.”

The Lions (3-1) will face bigger, more experienced competition and won’t win them all the rest of the way, but they already have won three and nearly twice as many players can take significant ownership in those victories.

Change can be a beautiful thing.

Chiefs pup Peters gets 2nd straight two-pick performance

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson has played with dozens of cornerbacks over 12 years in the NFL. He admits that none of them has been quite like Marcus Peters.

The second-year pro has an uncanny ability to read and react, to know where a pass is going seemingly before the quarterback.

Peters had two of the six interceptions of the Jets’ Ryan FitzpatPeters rick in a 24-3 win on Sunday , his second straight two-pick game and the highlight of an eight-turnover performance.

It’s not just Peters’ ability that stands out, though.

“I’ve played with a lot of really good corners,” Johnson said, “but they were not as young as Marcus.”

Yes, the 23-year-old Peters is still a pup in the grand scheme of things. But he’s been playing like a bulldog since his first game as a pro, when he picked off Houston quarterback Brian Hoyer.

Peters went on to intercept eight passes last regular season, earning the rookie a spot in the Pro Bowl. He added another interception against the Texans in a 30-0 playoff romp last January, a victory that ended nearly two decades of postseason futility for Kansas City.

Heck, Peters even picked off a pass in the Pro Bowl.

“They’re going to have to stop throwing to his side or he is going to have 100 interceptions,” Johnson said with a smile.

“He’s the ultimate competitor. He’s harder on himself than anybody else. That’s the best thing about him, as a young player — he doesn’t let anything slide.”

Peters hasn’t exactly had a smooth road to stardom.

He was kicked off his team at Washington after a series of run-ins with coaches, culminating with a blowup with coach Chris Petersen.

The series of events was a big reason he slid midway through the first round of the

Davis retires from 49ers again Santa Clara, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis has once again retired from the NFL. Davis sat out last year in part because of concerns over a concussion before deciding to return to the Niners this summer. He suffered another concussion in practice on Sept. 15, and the team announced his retirement on Monday.

Davis was slated to start at right guard, but missed the final practice before the season opener for non-injury reasons. He then became the backup swing tackle, but got hurt before he could play again.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Indians clinch AL Central title The Associated Press

American League Indians 7, Tigers 4 Detroit — Cleveland clinched the AL Central title Monday night, overcoming an injury to ace right-hander Corey Kluber in a victory over Detroit.

Kluber left after four innings with right groin tightness, joining Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar in a group of talented Cleveland pitchers dealing with injuries. But even those concerns were secondary when Cleveland poured onto the field to celebrate its first division title since 2007.

Cleveland last made the postseason in 2013 as a wild card.

Yankees 7, Blue Jays 5 Toronto — Mark Teixeira hit a tying homer in the ninth inning and Aaron Hicks added a game-winning blast as New York avoided a fourgame sweep, beating Toronto on Monday night.

In a testy, emotional game, four Yankees coaches and players were ejected following two benches-clearing incidents in the first two innings.

Yankees starter Luis Severino was ejected in the second inning after hitting Justin Smoak, sparking the second melee.

The scrap came after Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ threw consecutive inside pitches to Chase Headley in the top of the inning, hitting him with the second. That led to a warning from plate umpire Todd Tichenor.

Peters CONTINUED FROM 2D

draft, where Kansas City took him with the 18th overall pick.

The Chiefs defended the choice from the moment they made it, insisting they had done due diligence on him.

The Chiefs even sent a scout to Peters’ hometown of Oakland, California, in the days before the draft to make sure they knew everything about him.

What they learned was that Peters had grown up.

He had matured. He had become a father and wanted to take care of his family. He learned from his mistakes and was ready to move on.

Peters has been a model teammate and citizen in Kansas City.

National League Cubs 12, Pirates 2 Pittsburgh — Javier Baez hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs while major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks pitched six scoreless innings as Chicago Cubs won its 100th game of the season, routing Pittsburgh.

Baez helped the National League Centralchampion Chicago reach triple digits in victories for the first time since 1935. He hit his second career grand slam in the fourth inning to extend Chicago’s lead to 5-0 and his two-run single capped a six-run sixth that made it 11-0.

Adam Conley pitched three scoreless innings subbing for Fernandez, who had been scheduled to make his final start of the year. Justin Bour went 3 for 3 and Gordon had four hits, including one that will go down in Miami lore.

Diamondbacks 14, Nationals 4 Washington — All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos left Washington’s loss to Arizona with an apparent right knee injury that could be a major blow to the NL East champions.

Ramos landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping to catch a relay throw in the sixth inning. He immediately called for medical attention and clutched at the same knee he injured badly during the 2012 season, when he tore his ACL and medial collateral ligament.

Washington was already without reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper due to a thumb injury, slugging second baseman Daniel Murphy (strained

He’s also used his newfound stature to help push the movement spearheaded by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for social equality.

It was Peters who raised a gloved fist during the national anthem before the season opener, a homage to John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

Peters described afterward what life is like in the predominantly black neighborhoods where he grew up, and how he wants to affect change by reaching out to children in the community.

But his ability to do that will be determined in part by his ability on the field, his ability to stay in the middle of the conversation. And Peters has done nothing to diminish that in three games.

He rallied after a poor start against San Diego to

shut down the Chargers receivers in the second half, giving Kansas City a chance to rally for the biggest comeback win in franchise history.

The next week, he made Houston rue him once more with two interceptions of Brock Osweiler.

On Sunday, Peters was at it again with two interceptions against the Jets.

“It was all about executing the game plan to a ‘T’,” Peters said. “We let our pass rush get there, we played underneath, we let our safeties play over the top and we made plays.”

Sounds easy, right?

Peters had the first of the six interceptions, and also the first of four in the fourth quarter that sealed the win. In between, things seemed to get a little contagious.

“That’s the beauty of it,” Peters said. “When things are happening like they did, you enjoy it. You

embrace the opportunities that you have. You capitalize on them and have fun doing it.”

Peters is far from flawless. He still boils over when things are going against him. He tends to take too many chances, and gets beaten while trying to bait quarterbacks into making a bad throw.

But when he is picking off passes at such a torrid clip, the Chiefs can deal with it.

“Listen, he has great abilities,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “All the guys know that. They respect the job he’s done since he’s been here. He’s a good football player, a heady football player.

“Does he take chances sometimes? Yeah, he does,” Reid said. “But he’s got a short memory, which you’ve got to have there. He gets right back on it and nothing gets him down.”

Firebirds’ Hickman thrilled to commit to KU volleyball

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Last week, Free State High sophomore Rachel Hickman picked up a cake from Eileen’s Colossal Cookies on her way to the University of Kansas athletic department.

It was time to celebrate.

Hickman made an oral commitment to play volleyball for the Jayhawks on Sept. 20, becoming the program’s first hometown recruit since Lawrence High grad Tayler Tolefree. “(Bechard) was just sitting at his desk,” Hickman recalled, “and he looks at me and then he looks at the cake and he goes, ‘Are you serious?’ Then Todd and Bird came in and Bird started doing like high knees and everything. It was funny.”

Hickman, a 6-foot-3 outside hitter, chose to play for the Jayhawks over last year’s national champion Nebraska, Kansas State, Iowa and Creighton.

Hickman’s older sister, Naomi, is a senior at Free State and committed to play at Creighton.

Helping the Firebirds to a 17-4 record and No. 6 ranking in Class 6A, Hickman has registered 106 kills on a .214 hitting percentage with 39 blocks, 32 digs and 17 aces in 45 sets.

“The coaches were a big part,” Hickman said.

“I really like coach Bird (Laura Kuhn), coach Todd (Chamberlain) and coach Bechard. Then also just the environment that Lawrence has and I just like it as a town. I wanted to stay somewhat close to home.”

One of the advantages for Hickman is that she’s left-handed. It makes it harder for blockers because she comes in from different angles and has a different style of hits.

“Frank’s not real vocal naturally,” Self said.

“But Devonté (Graham) is, Landen (Lucas) is, Carlton (Bragg Jr.) is and Josh (Jackson) is. And Lagerald (Vick is) not bad.

I think we’ve got better talkers than we’ve had in the past and maybe just because they’ve gotten older.”

The development of various leadership skills throughout the course of one’s career is common in college basketball circles across the country. But three of the five players Self singled out as vocal leaders were underclassmen.

efficiency rating (14th) and given up 369.7 yards (52nd).

The Jayhawks (1-2) have aided their defensive strides during the non-conference portion of the schedule this season by getting into the backfield, averaging 9.7 tackles for loss (tied for seventh in the nation).

Sixteen different players have earned a TFL, with senior linebacker Marcquis Roberts, sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. and sophomore tackle Daniel Wise tied for the team lead, with 4.0 apiece heading into this week’s road game at Texas Tech (2-1).

Of course, the defense can only do so much as Kansas attempts to put an end to a losing streak away

from Lawrence that currently stands at 39 games.

“When the defense is playing well we have to be doing the same thing offensively and same thing special teams-wise,” Beaty said last week at his news conference.

Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury is 3-0 against Kansas. The Red Raiders have dominated the all-time series, 16-1.

The Jayhawks’ only victory against Tech came at Lubbock in 2001 — 34-31, in overtime — in Terry Allen’s final season as head coach.

KU has lost 12 consecutive Big 12 games, dating back to a 34-14 home victory over Iowa State, in November 2014, when Bowen served as interim head coach.
