Bassham said the proposed merger will give the combined company more options in how it produces power. “We will continue to look for the best opportunities across the board,” Bassham said at a luncheon for economic development leaders, business leaders and others interested in the proposed merger. “I do know it is a great plant, though.” The plant in recent years was upgraded with scrubbers and other cleaner coal technology. KCP&L and its parent company, Great Plains Energy, announced in May that it had reached a deal to buy Westar Energy for $12.2 billion. Westar is the largest electric provider in Kansas, and is the dominant electric utility in Lawrence.

The deal, however, must still win regulatory approval. Questions have emerged about whether the Missouri Public Service Commission would seek to halt the deal out of fear that the additional debt taken on by Great Plains Energy would harm Missouri utility customers. At Thursday’s event, KCP&L leaders said they filed a settlement on Wednesday with the staff of the Missouri Public Service Commission that provided more information and assurances about the soundness of the deal, said Chuck Caisley, vice president of marketing and public affairs for KCP&L. The settlement also includes provisions about how Missouri utility customers would be impacted if the combined company faltered. As part of the settlement, the staff has agreed to not seek jurisdiction in the case, which is a sign the staff does not plan to object to the acquisition. Caisley said the Missouri Public Service Commission may still hold hearings on the acquisition. However, if the regulatory staff doesn’t object to the acquisition, that makes it unlikely that the commission would seek to scuttle the deal. An attempt to reach a spokesperson with the regulatory commission wasn’t successful Thursday evening, and a copy

been made since that revelation from specific women who have accused Trump of making unwanted advances toward them, allegations that Trump has vehemently denied. Most other Kansas Republicans have made similar condemnations of Trump’s remarks, while saying they still support him over Democrat Hillary Clinton for president. But Roberts is in a unique position because in 1999 he was among the 45 GOP senators who voted to convict then-President Bill Clinton in an impeachment trial that was prompted by charges stemming from a sex scandal. Also voting to convict Clinton in 1999 was thenSen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, the state’s current governor, who also continues to endorse Trump for president. “I think that charge was obstruction of justice, more than it was behavior that is abhorrent,” Roberts said during an interview after the luncheon, referring to one of the two charges against Clinton at the time. The other charge was perjury, and both stemmed from false statements Clinton made during a sworn deposition in a civil case filed by a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. But when asked specifically whether he thinks Trump is fit to be president, Roberts paused for several seconds and then said, “Define ‘fit.’” “I go back to the Supreme Court,” Roberts said. “Regardless of what you think about Mr. Trump’s behavior, at least he has submitted names that I think are more appropriate of judges who will follow the Constitution. I also know that he will go after massive overregulation, and I also think that he will be more in step with the men and women who wear the uniform and will have their back.” Clinton was acquitted in that trial after five Republican senators crossed party lines and joined 45 Democrats in voting “not guilty” on both charges.

of the filing wasn’t immediately available. The proposed acquisition still faces multiple regulatory hearings in Kansas. The Kansas Corporation Commission is set to have a hearing on the acquisition on Dec. 5, Caisley said. The KCC’s website didn’t yet have a time or place for that hearing listed on Thursday afternoon. The KCC has said it will issue a decision on the hearing by mid-April. In August, several parties intervened in the case. They include: the Kansas Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board, a state agency that represents residential and small business customers; Midwest Energy, a utility company that buys electricity from Westar; Occidental Chemical, one of the largest industrial electric consumers in the state; and two chapters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Thursday’s event featured Bassham — who would serve as chairman and CEO of the combined company — and Mark Ruelle, president and CEO of Westar. Other topics discussed at the luncheon at Arterra Event Gallery included: l The name of both companies is likely to change after the merger. Bassham said he thought it was important to have one name for the entire company, but he said he’s uncertain that the Kansas City reference in the KCP&L name would be effective in other Kansas communities. Bassham

Five more Republicans voted “not guilty” on the perjury charge while voting to convict on the obstruction of justice charge. Roberts joked about the unusual nature of this year’s presidential race by telling a story about a friend in western Kansas who told him recently, “‘Pat, I’ve got some good news about this national election.’ I said what’s that, and he said, ‘One of these guys is going to lose.’” Despite his continuing support for Trump, though, Roberts said he does not believe either party will emerge from the elections with a large enough majority in Congress to overcome the gridlock on most issues. “I think we’ll probably end up with divided government again,” Roberts said. “And that’s hard. It’s extremely hard to get things done. In the House, if it’s of one party they can pass things, but in the Senate we have to have 60 votes.” When asked by an audience member what he thinks the chances are that Republicans will keep control of the Senate, Roberts said, “I think it’s a coin toss right now.” “I hope we can maintain control. It’s just a personal thing with me. I’d like to keep the gavel,” he said, referring to his chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture Committee. “When you have the gavel, what legislation is considered, when it’s considered and how it’s considered is determined by the chairman. I am the chairman and I’d like to continue that.” Roberts won re-election to his fourth term in the Senate in 2014 after a tough race against independent candidate Greg Orman that drew both national and international attention because it was a race that was crucial to Republicans’ maintaining control of the Senate. Before he was elected to the Senate in 1996, taking a seat formerly held by Republican Nancy Kassebaum, Roberts served eight terms in the U.S. House representing the 1st Congressional District in western Kansas. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222.

Bassham said it was too early to say exactly which employees would be staying in the Topeka offices, but he said the company is committed to keeping senior management-level positions in Topeka. The corporate headquarters of Great Plains Energy will remain in Kansas City, Mo., although Bassham did note that the new company will have more Kansas electric customers than Missouri customers. l Company officials did not provide any estimates for how many employees may be laid off as part of the merger.

Clinton says she can’t remember email server details Washington (ap) — Hillary Clinton said under oath in a court filing Thursday that she can’t recall key details about her use of a private email server or she refused to answer questions about it posed by a conservative legal group. Clinton lawyer David Kendall provided the Democratic presidential nominee’s sworn responses to 25 written questions submitted by Judicial Watch. The group has filed multiple lawsuits seeking copies of government documents from Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. Clinton’s answers provided no new information beyond what she told FBI agents during the recently closed investigation into whether she and her staff mishandled classified information. In her responses, Clinton used some variation of “does not recall” at least 21 times. Asked whether she was warned that using a private email account conflicted with federal record-keeping rules, Clinton responded that “she does not recall being advised, cautioned, or warned, she does not recall that it was ever suggested to her, and she does not recall participating in any communication, conversation, or meeting in which it was discussed.” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the group’s lawyers will closely review Clinton’s responses. Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said Clinton has answered these same questions in multiple settings for over a year, and her answers Thursday “are entirely consistent with what she has said many times before.”

Economists: Population changes could worsen state budget woes By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

A pair of Kansas economists told a University of Kansas audience Thursday that if current population trends continue, state government will have a much harder time providing basic services, especially in rural areas that are losing population. Jeremy Hill, director of

the Center for Economic Development and Business Research at Wichita State University, and Chris Courtwright, principal economist for the Kansas Legislative Research Department, were two of the featured speakers Thursday at the Kansas Economic Policy Conference held on the University of Kansas campus. The conference is an

annual event sponsored by KU’s Institute for Policy and Social Research. Hill, who studies demographics, said that if current trends continue over the next 50 years, 80 percent of the state’s population will be concentrated in a few urban areas, and the rural population could shrink to as little as 700,000 people. In addition, he said, the

population of the state is steadily getting older, and by 2066, Kansas could have a smaller workingage population while its retirement population could outnumber its youth. The problem, he said, is that many young people who grow up in Kansas leave after graduating high school, and the state is not attracting enough young people from outside to

or the past couple years I’ve heard administrators at the University of Kansas talking about the upcoming KU Climate Study. It came up more among students during conversations about race and sexual assault, often with the question, “What’s taking so long?” Well, after a planning process involving a task force, steering committees, an outside

consulting firm (Rankin & Associates Consulting), focus groups, developing questions and developing a marketing plan, the online survey finally opened Sept. 13. It closes today. Of the 39,006 individuals invited to take the survey, 7,400 (or 18.9 percent) had completed it as of Tuesday morning, according to provost’s office communications manager Jill Hummels. She said lots

of reminders have been going out this week, so that number should grow before the survey closes. The survey asks demographic information such as gender, race and financial status, as well as whether participants find the campus welcoming, have seen racism or been the victim of unwanted sexual contact.

Police: Students lost $8,500 in gift cards in scam By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Two University of Kansas students are out thousands of dollars after falling prey to an online scam in which someone promised them vehicles in exchange for iTunes gift cards. A student reported to KU police last week that he responded to a car-for-sale ad on what he thought was eBay and paid for the car with $4,500 worth of iTunes gift cards, but the car was

never delivered, said Deputy Chief James Anguiano of KU police. Anguiano said the web page the student was on turned out to be a fake eBay site. Another student reported being the victim of a similar crime in early August, Anguiano said. That student responded to an ad on Craigslist, and spent $4,000 in iTunes gift cards but never received his car either. Anguiano said the students were asked to pur-

chase the gift cards — which are sold at a number of retailers in increments up to $500 each — then scratch off the codes on the back and send them to the scammers via email. The scammers promised to make arrangements to deliver the cars after receiving payment, Anguiano said, but arrangements never came. “If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is,” Anguiano said. “Anybody asking for payment with iTunes or other gift

cards, it’s probably a scam.” Anguiano said the cases still are under investigation, but the scammers are not believed to be local, as similar scams have been reported across the country. A Federal Trade Commission alert posted earlier this year urges consumers who believe they’ve been the victim of such a scam to report it online at ftc.gov/complaint. Anguiano also suggested victims report to their local law enforcement agencies.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree said firefighters responded to U.S. Bank at 900 Massachusetts Street for the fire alarm and instead found a mechanical issue.

Board CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Think about it: There have been far more public debates about roundabouts and stop sign placements than there have been about how our children are educated. Granted, the school board does get public comment. Talk about closing a school, and the meeting room is packed. But on a weekin-week-out basis, public participation in a school board meeting is negligible compared to a City Commission meeting. I’ve been thinking about why that is. It could be that everybody agrees the board is doing a great job, so no need to come say anything at a meeting. I do think the school district does a good job at many things — as the city does, as well — but I don’t think that is the answer. I believe it is because the public often has a hard time knowing what the school board is talking about. Recently, the newspaper opined about the lack of notice the public received regarding the school board’s decision to allow condoms to be available through the health offices of Lawrence High and Free State High. The public received no meaningful notice that issue was going to be discussed at that board meeting. When the agenda was posted, and when the Journal-World reported on that agenda, the condom issue wasn’t on it. It was added after the fact with no notice to the public that the topic had been added. Regardless of how you feel about the condom issue, it is unfortunate the public wasn’t better notified. Another example occurred at Monday’s school board meeting. The school board was scheduled to receive a report, which is a big part of what the school board does. This one was on the district’s efforts to have a more racially diverse staff. The agenda listed that the board would receive such a report, but, as is often the case with the school board, the report

itself was not included on the agenda. That is far different from how the city operates. If the City Commission is to receive a report, the public almost always has the benefit of seeing the report at the time the agenda is released. The Journal-World’s K-12 education reporter last week contacted a district official to find out what the report said because she knows her editor is a stickler for such things. I’m a big believer in providing details before a meeting so that the public can make an informed decision about whether it wants to add its opinion to the topic. Based on that interview, we wrote an article about how the data shows a 25 percent increase in the number of people of color employed by the district in the last two years. But that is a broad number that includes everyone from cooks to janitors to teachers. Parents may be more interested in how the district is doing at attracting teachers or principals of color. The article included a caveat that those numbers weren’t yet available. By Monday’s meeting they were, and they didn’t sound quite as good as the 25 percent growth rate that was the

Among the consequences of that, he said, will be higher costs for delivering services like health care and education to the steadily shrinking rural areas, costs that will have to be borne by the smaller working-age population. Courtwright, who analyzes tax policy for the Legislature, said that in some ways, Kansas is already seeing the effects of those population shifts. “Consider, for example, as a result of our aging population, especially in rural areas, schools now find it more difficult to get bond issues approved, given that a lot of local residents’ children left the public school system several decades ago, and fixed-income seniors may not feel as connected to their schools as they once were,” Courtwright said. But he said the challenges that will face Kansas in the future, even in the short term, are being made more difficult by the state’s current tax structure, including the sweeping income tax cuts that lawmakers approved in 2012 and 2013. Before those tax cuts were enacted, he said, the Kansas tax code was based on a concept that many people called the “three-legged stool” — a balance between income,

sales and property taxes. In 1992, when lawmakers enacted a historic school finance plan, those three tax sources were distributed roughly evenly in the state budget. But in the wake of the Great Recession in 2009 and 2010, he said, the idea of a three-legged stool had fallen out of favor in some political circles. “A lot of people were suggesting that the severity of the economic downturn made it appear by all accounts to be a different animal than previous recessions, and by 2012 it seemed clear that recovery for different regions, economic sectors and even demographics was not uniform and appeared to be taking longer than had previous recoveries,” Courtwright said. “So the perception that there was not any kind of uniform national recovery, where all boats were being lifted by the same rising tide, fed into this notion that expansion was going to need to be leveraged by state-specific policy initiatives,” he said. The result, he said, were the tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 that lowered income tax rates across the board and eliminated taxes altogether for certain kinds of business income. It was based, he said, on the theory that reducing income taxes would put more money into people’s pockets, and that would stimulate the economy in ways that would produce revenue through other

streams, primarily sales taxes. But by 2014, he said, it was becoming clear that the Kansas economy was not responding the way advocates of the tax cuts had hoped, and the cuts were having a more profound impact on state revenues than budget officials had expected. Just after that year’s November elections, he said, new revenue economic numbers showed that the Kansas economy and personal income in Kansas were growing slower than the national average, “basically confirming that no unusual economic growth had been occurring as a result of stimulus from the tax law changes.” And little has changed in those trends in the nearly two years since that time, while state revenues have continued to fall short of projections, forcing the governor and Legislature to make several rounds of emergency spending cuts. Had the Legislature left the tax code as it was in 2012, Courtwright said, Kansas would be taking in an estimated $920 million a year more than it is now. Those tax cuts have been a major issue in this year’s legislative election campaigns, with many candidates calling for another round of tax changes, including repeal of the exemption for non-wage, or “pass-through” business income. At the same time, however, Courtwright noted that

many candidates are also talking about another kind of tax cut, this time lowering or eliminating the sales tax on food purchases. But Courtwright said the tax cuts alone may not be the only source of the state’s fiscal problems, and that other longterm trends may continue to present challenges for Kansas in the future. Among those, he said, are changes in consumer buying behavior that could limit the effectiveness of any kind of sales tax. “The sales tax, of course, worked pretty well in the 1930s when it was enacted, when people bought a loaf of bread and a glass bottle of milk,” he said. “But with changes in technology, mobility and a vast array of other things that people spend their money on these days, more and more purchases over time have begun escaping taxation.” In addition to that, Courtwright said, state revenues are being squeezed by several other trends that may become long-term problems, such as sagging prices for agricultural commodities along with depressed oil and gas prices. Coupled with the demographic changes that Kansas is experiencing, Courtwright and Hill said the state of Kansas and its state government could be facing financial problems for many years to come.

headline of our article. The report found that of the district’s classroom, or certified, staff there were: 965 who are white; 32 who are Hispanic; 20 who are black; 11 who are American Indian; five who are Asian; and two who are Pacific Islander. To their credit, district leaders aren’t saying these numbers are good. But it would have been good for the public to see them in advance. Members of the public could have decided whether they wanted to come hear the discussion for themselves and offer opinion. Certainly matters of race, equity and diversity have been known to draw large amounts of public opinion. Perhaps more importantly, it would have

been good for school board members to see the numbers in advance. School board members receive the numbers the same time the public does. To give school board members exclusive access to the numbers would be a violation of open government laws. If school board members have the full report ahead of time, they could come to the meeting better prepared with questions. There has got to be a way to improve upon this situation. Many governments figure out how to supply adequate information to the public before their meetings. It will just take a bit of planning and commitment to do so. It will be well worth the time, because an engaged public can be

a valuable asset for any government. There is no government in Douglas County more in need of a valuable asset than the Lawrence Public School District. Public schools are facing a funding crisis. To avert it will require the political will of legislators and the

governor. The body that forges political will is the public — also known as the people who don’t attend school board meetings.

EDITORIALS

Admissions ace The University of Kansas’ new admission process is a success on multiple levels.

ased on the outcomes, the University of Kansas’ new admissions process earned an A on its first test. 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. In addition, the total number of freshmen and the number of freshmen who identify as minorities grew as well. To grow enrollment, broaden diversity and achieve the strongest academic marks ever is an admissions triple play for the university. Previously, KU and other Kansas universities automatically admitted students who scored a 21 on the ACT, ranked in the top one-third of their high school class or compiled a 2.0 GPA in the Kansas Qualified Admissions Precollege Curriculum. But KU’s new automatic admission criteria are now higher. In addition to completing an approved college-prep curriculum, KU students must have a 3.0 high school GPA and score 24 on the ACT (1090 on the SAT) or have a 3.25 GPA and score 21 on the ACT (980 on the SAT). That’s not to say that students who don’t have such scores don’t have the opportunity to be admitted. Starting this semester, KU used a committee review process to consider applications of freshmen who didn’t meet the new standards. KU received 14,560 total freshman applications for this fall, and committees considered 911 applications, KU said. Data requested by the Journal-World show that of the 4,233 freshmen who enrolled at KU this fall, 243 (5.7 percent) gained admission through the committee-review process. The data also show the review process helped ensure hundreds of underrepresented minorities were given the chance to attend KU. Of the 750 students admitted to KU through the committee process, 148 (20 percent) were black and 130 (17 percent) were Hispanic. Of new freshmen, 22.9 percent self-identified as minorities, up from 22.3 percent last year. The class has 367 Hispanic students (8.7 percent) and 182 black students (4.3 percent), both higher than last year. Toughening academic standards while simultaneously working to ensure there is a path for admission to the university for students of all backgrounds serves to bolster KU’s academic reputation, both in Kansas and across the country.

‘Lock her up’ talk where real concern lies Washington — The second presidential debate — bloody, muddy and raucous — was just enough to save Donald Trump’s campaign from extinction, but not enough to restore his chances of winning, barring an act of God (a medical calamity) or of Putin (a cosmically incriminating WikiLeak). That Trump crashed because of a sex-talk tape is odd. It should have been a surprise to no one. His views on women have been on open display for years. And he’d offered a dazzling array of other reasons for disqualification: habitual mendacity, pathological narcissism, profound ignorance and an astonishing dearth of basic human empathy. To which list Trump added in the second debate, and it had nothing to do with sex. It was his threat, if elected, to put Hillary Clinton in jail. After appointing a special prosecutor, of course. The niceties must be observed. First, a fair trial, then a proper hanging. The day after the debate at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump responded to chants of “lock her up,” with “Lock her up is right.” Two days later, he told a rally in Lakeland, Fla., “She has to go to jail.” Such incendiary talk is an affront to elementary democratic decency and a breach of the boundaries of American political discourse. In democracies, the electoral process is a subtle and elaborate substitute for combat, the age-old way of settling struggles for power. But that

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Such incendiary talk is an affront to elementary democratic decency and a breach of the boundaries of American political discourse.”

sublimation only works if there is mutual agreement to accept both the legitimacy of the result (which Trump keeps undermining with charges that the very process is “rigged”) and the boundaries of the contest. The prize for the winner is temporary accession to limited political power, not the satisfaction of vendettas. Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez and a cavalcade of two-bit caudillos lock up their opponents. American leaders don’t. One doesn’t even talk like this. It takes decades, centuries, to develop ingrained norms of political restraint and self-control. But they can be undone in short order by a demagogue feeding a vengeful populism. This is not to say that the

investigation into the Clinton emails was not itself compromised by politics. FBI director James Comey’s recommendation not to pursue charges was both troubling and puzzling. And Barack Obama very improperly tilted the scales by interjecting, while the investigation was still underway, that Clinton’s emails had not endangered national security. But the answer is not to start a new process whose outcome is preordained. Conservatives have relentlessly, and correctly, criticized this administration for abusing its power and suborning the civil administration (e.g., the IRS). Is the Republican response to do the same? Wasn’t presidential overreach one of the major charges against Obama by the anti-establishment GOP candidates? Wasn’t the animating spirit of the entire tea party movement the restoration of constitutional limits and restraints? In America, we don’t persecute political opponents. Which is why we retroactively honor Gerald Ford for his pardon of Richard Nixon, for which, at the time, Ford was widely reviled. It ultimately cost him the presidency. Nixon might well have been convicted. But Ford understood that jailing a president for actions carried out in the context of his official duties would threaten the very civil nature of democratic governance.

What makes Trump’s promise to lock her up all the more alarming is that it’s not an isolated incident. This is not the first time he’s insinuated using the powers of the presidency against political enemies. He has threatened Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, for using the newspaper “as a tool for political power against me and other people. ... We can’t let him get away with it.” With exercising free political speech? Trump has gone after others with equal subtlety. “I hear,” he tweeted, “the Rickets [sic] family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!” He also promises to “open up” libel laws to permit easier prosecution of those who attack him unfairly. Has he ever conceded any attack on him to be fair? This election is not just about placing the nuclear codes in Trump’s hands. It’s also about handing him the instruments of civilian coercion, such as the IRS, the FBI, the FCC, the SEC. Think of what he could do to enforce the “fairness” he demands. Imagine giving over the vast power of the modern state to a man who says in advance that he will punish his critics and jail his opponent. — Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@ charleskrauthammer.com.

To the editor: Hello, I am Katelyn Flora, a sixth grader at Brethren Heritage School in Modesto, Calif. We are doing state reports this year in our history class. I have chosen to do my report on your state of Kansas. The Baldwin City/Lawrence area of Kansas is important to me because I have a heritage in the Baldwin City area. My great-grandparents, Lloyd and Vera Beeghley, lived all their lives, 96 years and 99 years, in Willow Springs Township. I have wonderful memories of playing on hay bales, tractor rides and going fishing on their farm. If you should happen to read this, I would greatly appreciate receiving any information or items regarding your state. You could send pictures, tourists attraction information, trivia about your state, or anything that would cause me to be more familiar with your state. Please send to: Katelyn Flora, C/O Brethren Heritage High, 3459 Dakota Avenue, Modesto, Calif. 95358. Thank you very much for helping me with my state report. I will appre-

ciate any help you can give me. Katelyn Flora, Modesto, Calif.

Praise for Pence To the editor:

I am a Democrat. I am not voting for Donald Trump. But I take this opportunity to heap a mountain of praise on a Republican who, unlike the GOP nominee, showed great integrity when faced with a challenge to our very democracy, a more fragile entity that people who watch such things truly understand. And Donald Trump’s unfettered, ill-considered rants, and those of many of his supporters, are just that: a threat to a democracy that is more fragile than he seems to understand. Does he even care? Then there’s Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, who does care. When a rowdy supporter at a rally a few days ago suggested a “revolution” — and make no mistake, she meant a violent revolution similar to the one that threw out the British more than 200 years ago if Hillary Clinton prevails — Mike Pence stood tall and said, emphatically, “No!” Back when Al Gore lost to George Bush in what many Democrats thought

was a rigged outcome, endorsed by a partisan Supreme Court, Gore stepped back, for the good of our democracy, and said, “OK.” No claims of a “rigged election”; no talk of revolution. Mike Pence stood tall and did the same, for the good of our democracy’s health and long-term well-being. He understands. He has integrity. He loves America. So, from this die-hard Democrat, I offer this in all sincerity: “Thank you Mike Pence. Thank you.” Oh, and a wish: That your running mate was listening Malcolm Gibson, Lawrence

Clinton courts Trump’s core: White men Dems shift strategy amid recent sexual accusations Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Rob Kearney is a middle-aged Republican, veteran and father pictured with a blonde-ringleted little girl nestled at his side in a new Hillary Clinton campaign flier. It shows how her team is trying to do what was considered impossible a few weeks ago: run up its margins in battleground

states by peeling away some of Donald Trump’s core constituency of white male voters. “Trump’s not politically correct, and that’s fine. But the way he treats women is too much,” Kearney says in his caption. “I can’t look my daughter in the eye and vote for Trump.” The mailer is part of a broader effort, which includes a new batch of broadcast ads, targeting Republicans in battleground states that Clinton’s campaign is

accelerating amid a deluge of sexual assault accusations roiling the real estate billionaire’s presidential bid. Weeks ago, the Clinton campaign thought its best hope of skimming votes from the GOP was largely circumscribed to moderate, suburban white women. Now it’s making an aggressive play for college-educated white suburban males as Trump faces a potential collapse in support that could prove unprecedented in

Clinton has launched a new batch of broadcast ads.

modern election history. “Especially given the events of the last week, I think we’re going to see a reasonable number of Republicans” reconsider their support, Joel Benenson, Clinton’s top strategist, said in an interview. “It’s now broader than educated white women,” he said. Trump’s backing is particularly weak among younger Republican males. Among Republican men under the age of 35, he’s taking just 74% of the vote, a number that is typically about 20 points v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

As Bryson Mees-Hernandez, 4, approached death in a Houston hospital room, his brain swelling through the bullet hole in his face, his mother assured the boy it was OK to die. “When you are on the other side,” his mother, Crystal Mees, recalled telling him, “you are going to see Mommy cry a lot. It’s not because she’s mad. It’s because she misses you.” And this: “It’s not your fault.” Whose fault was it? Bryson shot himself in January

with a .22-caliber Derringer his grandmother kept under the bed. It was an accident that could be blamed on many factors, from negligence to the failure of government and industry to find ways to prevent his death. The Associated Press and the USA TODAY Network set out to determine how many other such deaths there have been. During the first six months of this year, minors died from accidental shootings — at their own hands or at the hands of other children or adults — at a pace of one every other day, far more than federal statistics indicate. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Jerry Stephens has lived in Lumberton for pretty much his entire 63 years, but he’s never seen anything like the flooding that has devastated his North Carolina town of 20,000 people. The scenic Lumber River turned ugly this week, bloated Sunday by the torrential rains of Hurricane Matthew to almost 4 feet above its record crest. Thursday, a wide swath of the Robeson County seat remained knee-deep in water. It was a cruel fate for an economically depressed town historically saddled with an unemployment rate almost twice that of the state.

“Some of these people have nothing. They are sitting in high school gyms with their whole families.” North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory

“Sadly, the poorest of the poor in North Carolina are the ones who are being hurt the most by these floods,” Gov. Pat McCrory said Thursday. “Some of these people have nothing. They are sitting in high school gyms with their whole families.” Stephens, a Robeson County Commissioner, lives in south Lumberton, where at least four or five low-income housing developments had to be completely evacuated. Many residents had no v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Fall foliage forecast: The leaves, they are a-changing Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Leaf peepers, your time is now. Fall foliage is at its height this week across portions of the Northeast, upper Midwest and the western mountains, and peak colors are coming soon to many other locations. “There’s a lot of color across the country,” AccuWeather meteorologist Andy Mussoline said. Vibrant fall colors occur when three factors come together: the days get shorter, dry weather pre-

vails, and the temperature drops, according to Michael Day, University of Maine research professor of physiological ecology. Though much of the country has been unusually warm, especially across the East, there have been plenty of the cool, crisp nights needed to bring out the best fall colors, Mussoline said. And despite fears of a dull season in New England because of the region’s severe drought, colors have been lovely. This includes Vermont, where fall colors typically bring 3.5 million visitors and $460 million to the state. Northern New England and

Fall foliage is on display near Mooselookmeguntic Lake, Maine. northern New York both are showing high to peak color this week, according to the Foliage Network, “so now is a great time

to get out there,” the website said. The same is true in the northern half of Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

In the West, the Rockies and Cascades are also at or just past peak, depending on elevation, with lower elevations peaking now. More fall color is beginning to appear in the Appalachian Mountains, particularly in western Maryland, eastern West Virginia and western Virginia. Peak color is on its way soon: “We’re approaching peak color in the Mid-Atlantic, the Ohio Valley and lower portions of the Midwest,” Mussoline said. The Southeast will have to wait a few weeks or until early November for the best color, he added.

place to go and have been living in shelters for days, he said. “My district was hit hardest, and it’s heartbreaking,” he told USA TODAY. “I am concerned because so many of these people didn’t have much to begin with. They have no resources, no relatives who can take them in, no place to go.” McCrory stressed the need to get people out of the shelters and back into their homes or temporary housing. He warned that recovery won’t happen overnight once the water recedes. For some, it will take weeks, months or even years, he said. “We saw the best of North Carolina on our tour of Robeson County,” McCrory said. “We saw people who are resilient and caring, including first responders risking their lives to save others and hundreds of volunteers helping those in need. There are still people hurting, and we are doing all we can to help them.” The flooding is far from over as the swollen rivers race east toward the ocean. Peak flood levels are forecast over the next couple of days in five counties as the Tar, Neuse and Cape Fear rivers crest at various locations. Evacuations were ordered for the city of Greenville, the town of Prince-

higher, said Mark Blumenthal, elections polling director at SurveyMonkey. With young Republican women, Trump is winning just 62%, according to weekly tracking polls of thousands of voters. The others appear headed toward third-party candidates, for Clinton or perhaps not voting at all, he said. “It’s the place we’re going to be looking most intently,” said Blumenthal. Typically, at this stage of a campaign, a nominee is consolidating support among base voters, as the third-party vote shrinks into single digits. Even if Clinton can’t run up the margins with them, their refuge with third-party candidates could prove just as helpful. If the current numbers hold, “that would be extraordinary” for a GOP nominee not to unite the party, said Larry Jacobs, a presidential historian at the University of Minnesota. “Particularly in the past 20 years, the two parties have been like the Hatfields and the McCoys,” he said of the famously feuding families. Given the partisan rancor, the key aim of the ads is to create a

He activated more than 1,000 National Guard members, about 200 of them assigned to Robeson County. There has been good news. The water is receding in some cities. The lights were slowly coming back on — about 56,000 electric customers were without power Thursday, down from a high of almost 900,000 last week, McCrory said. Utilities work around the clock, responding to outages. “We’ve had no new fatalities during the last 24 hours,” McCrory said. “That is incredibly positive news.” Matthew rolled up the southeastern coast last week, dumping up to 18 inches of rain on parts of inland North Carolina already sodden from previous rainfall. Of at least 35 U.S. deaths, 20 were in North Carolina.

The mailers complement broadcast ads running in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. They also have a stable of Republicans like Matt Higgins, a former press secretary to Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s top surrogates, appealing to fellow party members to vote for Clinton. Higgins, also a vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, threw his support behind Clinton after the convention and has been reaching out to fellow business leaders. “Opting for ‘none of the above’ is not an option,” said Higgins,

who’s says he’s struggled to explain Trump’s rhetoric to his 9year-old son. “I’m willing to set aside any views I might have about taxation or anything else because I think preservation of the republic is more important,” he said, noting he supports some of her proposals on infrastructure and helping small business. The Clinton campaign has been communicating with potential Republican voters regularly, including during their Philadelphia convention, when they featured a number of GOP speakers, including Jennifer Pierotti Lim, a life-long Republican, and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, both of whom took center stage. Meg Whitman, chief executive of Hewlett Packard who served on the campaigns of previous GOP nominees Mitt Romney and John McCain, is one of them. “So many people are against Trump, but the flip to Hillary is an emotional hurdle,” said Whitman, adding that one of those hurdles is grappling with “what will my friends and family think.” “After this election the Republican Party has some soul searching to do,” Whitman said.

Using information collected by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonpartisan research group, news reports and public sources, the media outlets spent six months analyzing the circumstances of every death and injury from accidental shootings involving children ages 17 and younger from Jan. 1, 2014, to June 30 of this year — more than 1,000 incidents in all. Among the findings: uDeaths and injuries spike for children under 5, and 3-yearolds are the most common shooters and victims among young children. Nearly 90 3-year-olds were killed or injured in the shootings, the vast majority of which were self-inflicted. uAccidental shootings spike again for ages 15-17, when victims are most often fatally shot by other children but typically survive self-inflicted gunshots. uThey most often happen at the children’s homes, involving handguns legally owned by adults. They are more likely to occur on weekends or around holidays such as Christmas. uStates in the South, including Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia, are among those with the highest per capita rates of accidental shootings involving minors. In all, more than 320 minors age 17 and under and more than 30 adults were killed in accidental shootings involving minors. Nearly 700 other children and 78 adults were injured. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 74 minors died from accidental discharges of firearms in 2014, the latest year for which comparable data are available. The AP and USA TODAY Network analysis counted 113 for that year, suggesting the federal government missed a third of the cases. “The extent of the problem is a little bit shocking. The extent of the undercount is a little bit shocking,” said Lindsay Nichols, an attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence in San Francisco. “A lot of it provides further evidence that this is such a horrible pattern that continues and that more action is needed.” Gun control advocates demand stricter laws requiring guns to be locked up and unloaded. Gun rights supporters argue those measures make guns less useful in emergencies. Citing CDC statistics, the National Rifle Association argues in public statements that such deaths have declined significantly in recent decades and that the chance of a child dying in a firearms accident is “one in 1 million.” Bob Anderson, chief of the

mortality statistics branch of the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, suggested the NRA cited statistics that underestimate the risk of guns to children. He would not, he said, “put money on that interpretation.” The undercount documented by the AP and USA TODAY Network is “significant and important” but not surprising, Anderson said. He said the CDC has long suspected its statistics on accidental gun deaths are too low; the agency tracks shooting accidents but tallies only those classified that way by coroners on death certificates. Coroners categorize many such deaths as homicides because they fit the definition of being killed by another. TYPICAL TO TRAGIC

Bryson and his 2-year-old sister were staying with their grandparents in January to give their mother a break. She had given birth months earlier to a baby girl and needed sleep. It was a typical night. After their baths, Bryson asked if he could hop in bed with his grandfather, who was asleep. His grandmother, Anna Sperber, said yes before she fell asleep on the living room couch with the younger girl. When Sperber got up to get a blanket hours later, she saw Bryson face down on the bedroom floor. She noticed a lump on his head and panicked when she saw the pistol she kept under her bed lying next to him. He had shot himself above the right eye. Bryson’s grandfather, who used a noisy breathing machine, had slept through the gunshot. Emergency responders took Bryson to a hospital by helicopter. A neurosurgeon told his mother it was only a matter of time before the boy would be dead. The bullet had gone straight to the back of his brain and shattered. An incident in Iowa this year illustrates another common type of accidental shootings — those among teens. On spring break, Senquez Jackson, 15, from Cedar Rapids was hanging out with friends. A 17-year-old, had brought over a handgun that had been legally owned by a friend’s mother and disappeared from her home. A 13year-old wanted to see the weapon and removed the clip. Thinking it was unloaded, he started playing with it. “Bro, I’m hit,” Senquez said. The bullet had ripped through his chest, piercing his right lung. His mother, Tamara Bloemendaal, rode in the ambulance with the boy she called “Chunks” as a baby. Within hours, he was dead. The 13-year-old pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in juvenile court. “It doesn’t seem like any of them had access to a gun before. They were fascinated by it; what it looks like, what it feels like to hold,” said the boy’s attorney, Jeremy Elges. “It turned out there was a round in the chamber. He wasn’t savvy enough with guns to know that’s a risk.”

Q: Which sector will flourish during earnings season? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Big banks kick off thirdquarter earnings season Friday. It’s an important moment since investors are counting on big numbers from the financial sector. The third quarter wasn’t a great one for profits. Companies are expected to report 0.9% lower earnings in the third quarter, making it the fifth decline in a row, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. The decline in profit is due to an expected 68% decline in ener-

gy sector profits. Making up for the huge decline in energy profits is a tall order for the other 10 sectors. Financials are seen posting 5.9% higher adjusted profit, which makes the sector the second-largest source of earnings growth. But it’s the materials sector that is expected to be the earnings-growth powerhouse, with analysts calling for 8.4% higher profit during the quarter. Stability in some commodity prices is giving the sector a lift. Consumer staples companies are the third-largest source of growth, putting up 4.3% expected growth. Profit at ConAgra Foods is expected to rise 36%. These are just estimates, so investors will have to wait a few weeks to see how reality actually sets in.

For 2 weeks in a row, Apple was the most-sold stock across all SigFig investor groups in late September.

Walmart ahead of the curve on pay raises Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

Walmart’s recent decision to give a pay raise to its managers puts it ahead of some retailers who will soon have to pay overtime wages to more workers as a new federal rule goes into effect. The world’s largest retailer raised the starting wage for various managers from $45,000 to $48,500 at the start of September — beating the new regulation by about three months.

“These changes align with our commitment to invest in our associates, and we wanted to make these changes before the busy holiday season,” spokesman Kory Lundberg said. The pay boost for assistant managers and those overseeing various Walmart divisions, from auto care centers to the human resources departments in stores, comes on the cusp of a new federal measure that will require the retailer and others to pay overtime to those earning salaries just beneath Walmart’s new starting pay threshold.

“It’s always our goal to offer competitive starting rates,” Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg said.

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The Department of Labor rule, set to go into effect Dec. 1, raises the salary threshold under which

executive, administrative and professional workers must be paid overtime. At present, over-

time must be paid to those earning less than $23,660. Once the regulation kicks in, the salary threshold will be $47,476. Some 4.2 million workers are expected to qualify for overtime pay at the rate of 1.5 times their normal pay per hour once their work week passes 40 hours. As of last month, 21 states, along with dozens of business groups, were seeking to delay or block the measure, arguing merchants need more time to prepare for the change and that the new requirement could force layoffs and other cuts.

Prize in Literature was awarded to an artist known more for his music than his written work. Few musicians are more deserving of the tradition-bucking honor than Bob Dylan, who has used his lyrics to communicate messages of peace, sting ex-lovers and tell freewheeling stories of Shakespearean heroes. “Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear. But it’s perfectly fine to read his works as poetry,” said Sara Danius, the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary, as the award was bestowed on Dylan Thursday. In honor of Dylan’s win, here are seven classics, encapsulating ways his wordplay has entertained and educated listeners through the years. VISIONS OF JOHANNA, 1966

caught / Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended / As we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look / Spellbound and swallowed ’til the tolling ended” DESOLATION ROW, 1965

JIM LO SCALZO, EPA

Bob Dylan adds a Nobel Prize in Literature to his accolades.

are your only teachers / In the smoke of the twilight on a milkwhite steed / Michelangelo indeed could’ve carved out your features” ONLY A PAWN IN THEIR GAME, 1964

The Blonde on Blonde classic is one of Dylan’s many odes to an elusive muse. CHOICE LYRIC: “Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial / Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while / But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles”

Dylan tells the story of civil rights activist Medgar Evers’ murder in a plainspoken memorial that still rings true. CHOICE LYRIC: “The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid / And the marshals and cops get the same / But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool”

JOKERMAN, 1983

CHIMES OF FREEDOM, 1964

Dylan’s other favorite characters were mysterious loners riding into town to cause trouble. CHOICE LYRIC: “Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy / The law of the jungle and the sea

Halfway in between Dylan’s protest songs and his more psychedelic musings came this love song that doubles as a plea for justice. CHOICE LYRIC: “Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall when we were

Another quintessentially Dylanesque word association game, where he invokes the Shakespearean characters he himself is so gifted at creating. CHOICE LYRIC: “Now Ophelia, she’s beneath the window, for her I feel so afraid / On her twentysecond birthday she already is an old maid / To her, death is quite romantic, she wears an iron vest / Her profession’s her religion, her sin is her lifelessness” POSITIVELY 4TH STREET, 1965

A master of the diss track, Dylan never sounds more savage than when he’s tearing down an old friend. CHOICE LYRIC: “Yes, I wish that for just one time / You could stand inside my shoes / You’d know what a drag it is / To see you” IT’S ALRIGHT, MA (I’M ONLY BLEEDING), 1965

Instead of the straightforward political-speak songs of his early career, It’s Alright, Ma is a sevenminute stream-of-consciousness condemnation of society’s ills. CHOICE LYRIC: “While preachers preach of evil fates / Teachers teach that knowledge waits / Can lead to hundred-dollar plates / Goodness hides behind its gates / But even the president of the United States / Sometimes must have to stand naked”

Dear Annie: Before marriage, I slept well every night. Since I’ve been married and my husband and I shared a home together for the first time, my sleep has suffered. The main culprit is my husband’s snoring. When he snores at night, I wake up so often to poke him or tell him to change positions that we both wake up tired and resentful in the morning. Sometimes he’ll take the couch. I have to take sleeping pills just to be able to fall back to sleep. I spent last night on the couch myself just so I could catch some uninterrupted sleep. The problem is that he gets sensitive about it when I bring it up, and he also is sad when I leave the room to go sleep elsewhere. It feels

as if I have to either keep my mouth shut and suffer to avoid offending him or do what I need to do to sleep but risk having a sad husband on my hands. I just want us to have a “normal” marriage bed.

‘Goliath’ retold in courtroom David E. Kelley (“Ally McBeal”) returns to legal TV series with “Goliath,” a 10-episode thriller streaming on Amazon beginning today. As the title implies, this is a little guy vs. “the man” story. And who better to represent the underdog than Billy Bob Thornton, who plays a washed-up legal genius who has been on the wrong end of too many bottles, battles and jail-cell doors. William Hurt and Maria Bello also star in this headscratcher, a tale of a murky conspiracy that bounces back between the courtroom and “the street.” Filled with many of Kelley’s slick touches, “Goliath” remains catnip for those who would watch Thornton (“Fargo” and “Bad Santa”) in just about anything.

New to Netflix, “Haters Back Off” adapts Colleen Ballinger’s YouTube character Miranda Sings for a half-hour comedy. Miranda is a brash wannabe “star” on YouTube, who’s painfully unaware of her lack of talent. “Haters” goes overboard in making Miranda selfish, stupid and unlikable. And the treatment of just about everybody else has an obvious, shootingfish-in-a-barrel quality. The comedy of cultural condescension can only carry you so far.

CHEF KEVIN PARK PREPARES A DISH AT THE SUSHI BAR at Lawrence’s Under the Sea restaurant at Sixth and Kasold.

New Sixth Street eateries offer sushi, Szechuan cuisine

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

ortunately, I’ve never had a problem finding people to throw food at me. But if you rely on one of those Japanese steakhouses with a theatrical chef who slices, dices and then uses a spatula to throw an octopus into your mouth, you have one less option in Lawrence. Lawrence’s Kokoro Japanese Steakhouse has closed, but a new restaurant that aims to bring the taste of California

sushi has opened. Under the Sea has opened in the Westridge Shopping Center at Sixth and Kasold in the location that until a couple of weeks ago housed Kokoro. The new restaurant will focus on sushi and less so on the Japanese steakhouse style of food. “We’ve got really good quality sushi, and that is what we want to focus on,” said owner Kevin Park. Park said he’s been a sushi

chef for the last eight years in California, and another chef at the restaurant has been a sushi chef for the last 15 years, also in California. So, I guess you could say that the restaurant is California-style sushi, although I don’t know exactly what that means. Some of you, however, may. Park said the perception on the coasts is that sushi is growing in popularity in the Midwest, and that is one of the reasons he decided to start the Lawrence

venture. He said he came to Lawrence, in part, because it had a fair number of sushi establishments, which he said was a sign that the market had a taste for the Japanese cuisine. As for the menu, Under the Sea features about 20 sushi varieties, including tuna, salmon, yellow tail, octopus and more exotic offerings such as smelt roe, surf clam and freshwater eel.

HOMETOWN LAWRENCE has opened on Sixth Street. Szechuan House has opened in the former home of Panda Garden, 1500 W. Sixth St., which closed earlier this year after its owners retired. It too comes to Lawrence from afar. I chatted briefly with Tina Wei, who described herself as the operator of the restaurant. She said she came to Lawrence from New York to open the restaurant. Just like Under the Sea, it wasn’t clear to me what caused Lawrence to stand out over other communities, but whatever the case, there is no shortage of Asian cuisine entrepreneurs who are coming to Lawrence. This is at least the fourth one I’ve written about in the last few months — Nagoya Japanese Cuisine in the Malls Shopping Center at 23rd and Louisiana and the Thai Diner in the

Friday, October 14, 2016

Louisiana Purchase shopping center near 23rd and Louisiana are a couple of others I’ve reported on. As for Szechuan House, I believe the “house” part of the name may refer to overnight living quarters for people who want to fully read the menu. In other words, the menu is huge. There are more than 200 dishes listed. That includes appetizers, soups, rice and noodle dishes, vegetarian, chicken and duck, beef and lamb, seafood, pork, pickled pepper dishes, poached dishes, something called gan guo served in a “hot pot,” black curded bean dishes and several others. The menu lists about 20 house specialties and some of them will test your desire for the exotic, including: intestines and fish; one dish that makes marketing professionals squirm because it is

simply labeled “seaweed, mussel, fish ball, fatty beef and pork blood;” and another dish that may make the annoying AFLAC duck squirm but may intrigue the rest of us who are tired of those commercials — spicy duck tongue. Spicy is a key word on the menu. The menu explains that Szechuan cuisine is “characterized by its spice and pungent flavors,” and emphasizes the use of chili. A spice called prickly ash also is often used, along with garlic, ginger and fermented soybeans. So, if you don’t like spicy food, beware, although I’m sure there are some ways to avoid the heat. The duck found one, although he may not recommend it.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU boasts blend of youth, experience Unlike in professional sports, in college the general manager of a program never needs to worry about the coach back-stabbing him by blaming him for roster shortcomings. In college, the coach is the GM. In the case of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self, he has no reason to blast the GM because Self wears that cap as well as he wears a whistle. Assembling a balanced, deep roster is a greater challenge Lucas in today’s one-anddone, hypertransfer era than ever before, yet Self always manages to pull it off. Kansas has Azubuike had either a No. 1 or 2 seed in 9 of 10 NCAA tournaments, starting in 2007. The Jayhawks were seeded third in 2009 after five players went in the 2008 NBA draft. Self and his assistants do it by making sound talent projections on players who aren’t one-and-done talents and mixing them with McDonald’s All-Americans. That makes KU’s rosters a blend of players who bring mature physiques, emotions and basketball minds with loud talents who boast high ceilings. “Usually, if you look at perennial top-five type teams, not necessarily nationalchampionship teams because (Jay Wright-coached Villanova) won it last year with some vets, but usually your foundation is your older kids, but your most talented players are your younger ones,” Self said. This season’s center position for Kansas models that winning formula. Nigerian native Udoka Azubuike, a 7-footer who has shed 25 pounds to get to 275, said he won’t turn 18 until Sept. 17, 2017. Two seasons in, Landen Lucas, 23, had experienced 107 minutes of game action. “Udoka is better than advertised, but he’s just so young,” Self said. I asked both centers the same question: Who’s stronger? Their answers revealed their ages. Azubuike laughed and said: “I don’t know. I’m not going to sit here and tell you ... I don’t know. We both are physically strong.” What he didn’t know was whether it was appropriate for him to answer a question comparing himself to a teammate. It was the first time he was put in such a situation, so he hesitated, a natural freshman reaction. Lucas smiled and said: “I would say I’m stronger. I believe 100 percent in my strength and ability to use it. He’s probably more of a physical presence, just because of his body and size, but because of my old-man strength, as some people say, I’d pick me in that one.” They’ll make each other stronger.

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON SITS FOR QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS during media day on Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse. One of the big topics at this year’s media day was KU coach Bill Self discussing a likely four-guard lineup, in which Jackson would play a big role.

Loaded with tal- Mason ented, athletic guards in the backcourt and a hint of uncertainty in the frontcourt, the Kansas men’s basketball team will play plenty of four-guard lineups during the upcoming season.

reasons for the strategy that has rarely been used during his 14 years at Kansas and figures to give this KU team more flexibility than many recent Self teams.

The reason for it is simple. “Personnel dictates it,” Self said. With veterans Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk returning and young guns like sophomore Lagerald Vick and freshman phenom Josh Jackson on the rise, KU’s strength heading into the season clearly is in

KU football dismisses lineman Williams By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Lawrence High ready for physical matchup By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

One season after winning its first Sunflower League title in 22 years, Lawrence High’s football team has the opportunity to repeat the feat for the first time since 1992-93. On a 14-game winning streak against league opponents, the Lions will face their toughest test against Shawnee Mission East at 7 tonight at LHS. The Lancers (5-1, 4-0 in the league) feature the highest-scoring offense in

Class 6A, averaging 50.7 points per game. It’s a nohuddle, flexbone offensive attack that uses misdirection and option plays to put the best athletes in open space. Playing a top-five-ranked team for the first time this year, the Lions said they raised the intensity in practices this week. “They know it’s going to be a physical game,” Lawrence coach Dirk Wedd said. “You play the thirdranked team in the state and

Firebirds getting boost from Bowlin at RB By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High football coach Bob Lisher isn’t surprised by the success of senior running back Zion Bowlin. It’s what he’s expected since his sophomore season, but injuries kept getting in the way. Bowlin has rushed for 473 yards and seven touchdowns on 68 carries, averaging nearly seven yards per attempt. He missed one game with an ankle injury this season, but has scored

Chargers blast Broncos Chargers 21, Broncos 13 San Diego (ap) — Philip Rivers threw for 178 yards and one touchdown, and the Chargers held off the Denver Broncos 21-13 on Thursday night.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

NLDS Game 5 goes to Dodgers The Associated Press

Washington — Their third-base coach made a bad decision, Max Scherzer made a bad pitch, their bullpen broke bad and in short order the Washington Nationals’ season came to a crashing halt. Within the span of a half-hour, the Nationals dug a hole they couldn’t climb out of in a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night in Game 5 of the NL Division Series. Washington lost its third consecutive playoff series on a sequence of mistakes that did nothing to change the sour October reputations of Scherzer, manager Dusty Baker and the Nationals themselves. “It was tough to take, a tough loss,” Baker said. “We’ve got some improvement to make and hopefully we’ll be back in the same position next year.” For much of the night it looked like Scherzer

could change the fortunes of the franchise thanks to his big-game pitching and an RBI single by unlikely clutch hitter Danny Espinosa. Then third-base coach Bob Henley inexplicably sent Jayson Werth into a no-doubt out at the plate on a double down the left-field line by Ryan Zimmerman, ending the sixth inning. “He’s aggressive, and there was two outs. ... He feels terrible about that because it didn’t work,” Baker said of Henley. “But, you know, that wasn’t what lost the game, really.” Just four minutes later, Scherzer served up a solo home run to Joc Pederson on his first pitch of the seventh and his 99th of the game, setting off a domino effect. Baker called on five relievers — Mark Rzepczynski, Blake Treinen, Sammy Solis, Shawn Kelley and Oliver Perez — to get three outs. They eventually did so, but not

Behind a big night from junior Chloe Holland, Veritas Christian’s volleyball team swept Kansas City (Kan.) East and Bishop Seabury on Thursday at Seabury. Holland recorded a team-best 21 kills, helping the Eagles to a straightset win against Seabury (25-22, 25-19) and threeset victory over KC East (25-22, 17-25, 28-26). Alyssa Krestan added nine kills, Emma Wilson had 27 assist, Brienne Billings had five kills and nine blocks, and Jessie Swisher had six kills. The Eagles (24-6) will host a triangular Monday at East Lawrence Recreation Center.

it’s going to wake you up a little bit.” The Lions (5-1, 4-0) faced a similar offensive style against Olathe North and it took them about one half to become comfortable against that style of play. “It’s similar but it’s run by a whole bunch of cats that are pretty darn good,” Wedd said.

Bowlin said. “It’s helping me run better this year.” An all-state baseball player at third base, Bowlin has transformed from a blocking back into one of the toughest running backs to bring down in the Sunflower League. Combined with sophomore Jax Dineen, another physical runner, the Firebirds have a ton of confidence in their 1-2 running punch. “He’s always had it since he was a sophomore,” Lisher said. “He’s had some injuries and so forth that kind of slowed him down, but when he’s

Eudora’s Hiebert wins league

Natalie Beiter was fifth and senior Taylor Cawley took sixth. For the boys, Baldwin sophomore Jacob Bailey finished second in 17:03 and Max Tuckfield was seventh in 17:22, leading the Bulldogs to third in the team standings. Eudora’s boys cross country team was fifth, led by junior Noah Katzenmeier in 20th place.

Baldwin City — Eudora High freshman runner Riley Hiebert won a Frontier League title Thursday, leading her girls cross country team to a secondplace finish in the league. Hiebert won the race in 19:20 at Baldwin City Golf Course, more than 40 seconds ahead of runner-up Gabby Collins, of De Soto. Hiebert’s sister, Reagan, finished third in 20:02 and senior Halle Norris was seventh in 20:58. Baldwin High’s girls cross country team won a league title, placing five runners inside of the top 10. Senior Daelynn Anderson was fourth, sophomore

Playing against the topranked team in the state, Lawrence High’s boys soccer team lost to Olathe East on Thursday, 5-1, at LHS. The Hawks (13-0, ranked No. 9 in the nation by USA Today) have only allowed six goals this season. LHS senior Cain Scott scored on a rebound with seven minutes left in the first half. The Lions (6-7-1) will play host to Shawnee Mission North at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

the physicality and option offense against SM East, the Lions spent extra time Wednesday with the starting offense and starting defense competing against each other. The Lancers were actually the last Sunflower League team to beat the Lions, knocking them out of the playoffs in 2014. “The only difference is we’re just practicing option football, option football and option football,” LHS senior free safety Cade Burghart said of practices. “I guess the atmosphere is different. We’re a lot more physical now. We’re ready.” The Lions are thrilled

with their strong start to the season, surpassing most expectations when they lost 18 starters from last year. “Right after the seniors were done playing football last year, people were like, ‘Oh, we’re not going to be good this year,’” LHS senior defensive lineman BJ Murry said. Now the Lions are excited about the challenge of facing one of the top teams in the state, especially with an opportunity to pull a little bit closer to another potential league title. “It’s in the back of all of our minds,” Burghart said. “We want to get another one. We haven’t

healthy, he’s pretty good. The faster he gets downhill, the harder he is to bring down.” Bowlin said his running style changed from “elusive” last season to more powerful. Instead of trying to shake tacklers, he tries to run them over. Then when he finds open field, Bowlin has enough speed to speed past the secondary. “He’s powerful but yet he can make people miss and he can open up holes when they aren’t there,” Lisher said. “We knew what we had. It’s just a matter of him getting healthy and being able to do it.” Along with his duties at running back, Bowlin leads Free State’s secondary at strong safety. Last

year was essentially his first time playing the position and he leaned on former FSHS safety Bryce Torneden for advice and placement on the field. Now he’s the one directing the younger players. “Just feels like I have to be the leader of the secondary more,” Bowlin said. “You have to do this for your team now.” Facing the Hawks (24, 2-2 in the Sunflower League), Bowlin will try to help shut down OEast’s run game in the flexbone offense — the first time the Firebirds (42, 4-0) will play against that style of offense. “They like to run the football,” Lisher said. “They like to run it a lot. They still throw the ball. They are 60 percent run,

Lions fall to O-East

Late goal lifts Seabury Olathe — In a makeup game, Seabury defender Sam Bayliss made up for lost time with a goal in the final minutes to lift his boys soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Heritage Christian on Thursday. Bayliss scored on a header after a free kick by freshman Freddy Comparato. The Seahawks (5-6) will play host to Christ Prep at 4:30 p.m. today.

They have someone to lean on.” Free State’s five players — the most state qualifiers in a season since 2013 — were relaxed at practice this week. Most of the Firebirds said their goal is just competing and making the most of their first state experience. “State is important so obviously we’re going to be nervous,” Gorman said. “But I think we’ve prepared for this and we’ll just do our best as a team.” Piper, who had an 18-11 record in singles, added: “We feel really energetic and loose.

Firebirds sweep volleyball triangular By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

After splitting matches in a triangular Tuesday, the mindset of Free State High’s volleyball players has changed. Now, the Firebirds — who beat Bishop Miege (25-13, 20-25, 25-13) and Topeka Hayden (25-17, 25-19) in a home triangular on Thursday — expect to win when they take the court. “We had a conversation in practice about it,” FSHS coach Amy Hoffsommer said. “We talked about now that we have met the challenge. We expect to win. This is now where we are at. We play the tough opponents and there is no excuse, this is all for the win at this point.”

On Tuesday, Free State (24-6, ranked No. 4 in Class 6A) split against two top-tier opponents in Shawnee Heights and St. Teresa’s Academy. And after going toe-totoe with two of the toughest foes they will face all season, the Firebirds feel confident about coming out on the winning side. Even when they don’t play their best. “We didn’t play our hardest,” senior middle hitter Natalie Clarke said. “These weren’t the hardest teams we have played recently. So we kind of backed off a bit. But we still won, so it’s a good thing.” On Thursday, Free State struggled at times against two smart teams, who knew how to take

struggled to defend senior middle hitter Naomi Hickman, who logged 13 kills in the first match. But the Stags would respond and claimed the second set by five points.

“Anytime you go up against an opponent you have to figure out what they do and make your adjustments,” Hoffsommer said. “Our team does really well at that.” Once the Firebirds figured out how to attack their opponents they dominated the final set. To complement Naomi Hickman’s play, the duo of sophomore Rachel Hickman and senior Payton Gannaway anchored the offensive attack with 15 combined kills. Free State led nearly every point of the third set as freshman Mya Gleason and senior Jenalee Dickson recorded 17 and 13 assists, respectively for the first match. In the second match, the Firebirds once again started off sluggish.

Jayhawks unanimous Big 12 pick By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas men’s basketball team was a unanimous choice by the Big 12 Conference coaches to repeat as Big 12 champions for the 13th season in a row. The Big 12 released the preseason coaches poll on Thursday and KU received all nine available first-place votes. Because coaches cannot vote for their own team, Self voted for another program. Who that was, however, was not immediately revealed and Self did not give anything away at KU media day Thursday afternoon. “They didn’t show it?” Self asked before joking, “Perfect, so I don’t have to say. I gave four teams a quarter vote.” The updated poll later reflected that Self’s vote went to Iowa State, which was picked to finish fourth by the league’s coaches. West Virginia and Texas held down the second and third spots, with Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Kansas

State and TCU rounding out the preseason poll. As for his feelings about being named the Big 12 favorite for the 15th time in school history, Self did not exactly stand up and shout. “You know, I don’t know that it’s a huge surprise that they picked the guys first,” he said. “But what is said now and what actually happens are totally two different things, and one is important and one is not, and this certainly isn’t important.”

Undefeated talk Self was asked Thursday about Josh Jackson’s recent claim in USA Today that the Jayhawks were “trying to go undefeated.” He had absolutely no problem with it. “We don’t talk like that, OK,” Self said before clarifying that Jackson’s comment represented a goal not a prediction. “Also, young kids, not having been through it enough, they don’t know how hard it is to win in Ames (Iowa). They don’t know how hard it is to win in

not we can score consistently inside, so we’ve got to figure out a way to get the ball to the rim, score in tight. But I do think we have potential to be very good defensively. We have depth in the perimeter positions, and I think we can play different. Last year I never felt like we could probably play different because certain guys were kind of locked in their position, and I think this year we’ll probably be a little bit more Jayhawks improving versatile moving guys Two days into practice around.” for the 2016-17 season, Self proclaimed that the Follow the leaders Jackson on Thursday Jayhawks “stunk.” Asked how things had was asked how things gone since he uttered had gone in terms of him that comment a week ago blending what Self likes at the Coaches vs. Cancer to refer to as his “alpha charity event in Kansas dog” mentality with esCity, Self had good news tablished veterans and proven scorers like Frank to report. “We’ve gotten bet- Mason III, Devonté Grater,” Self said. “Nobody ham and others.

There’s nothing wrong with goals. That’s good. But I don’t think that would be a realistic prediction, no.”

I’m like, ‘Man, these guys are really, really good and we’re all gonna be playing together.’ “Frank and Devonté are definitely the two leaders of this team and they teach me a lot.”

BMOC Plenty has been made about freshman center Udoka Azubuike’s mammoth, 7-foot, 280-pound frame. But few Jayhawks have experienced the depths of that size like Carlton Bragg Jr., who, even at a bigger-than-last-year 6-10, 245, looks and feels like a junior high school student when battling Azubuike down low. “He’s really big,” Bragg said. “His weight is crazy.... It’s hard to guard bigs like that, especially with his physicality and versatility and the way he plays above the rim. It’s crazy. He’s scary. When he dunks it’s like a little Nerf ball.”

Self keeps promise to Ward at media day By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Wednesday night, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self made KU academic adviser Scott “Scooter” Ward a lighthearted promise in his hospital room in Kansas City, where he continues to grind through his recovery from recent surgery to repair a torn aorta. The promise was simple: Self would say something about Ward at Thursday’s media day event at Allen Fieldhouse. After 25 minutes of talking about his team and covering everything from projected lineups

the backcourt. And with three of those five players standing 6-foot-5 or taller, including Jackson and Mykhailiuk standing 6-8, Self’s 2016-17 team has a certain amount of versatility that has been rare around here. Add to that the fact that senior Landen Lucas is the only truly proven big man on the roster, and it’s easy to see why Self’s trust, at least as of today, lies in his guards. “I think we’d be a hard team to guard if we can

and player improvement to season goals and preseason expectations, Self’s “something” turned into much, much more. “I think of Andrea (Hudy) and Bill Cowgill and Scooter as being an assistant coach and the players all know that,” Self said. Ward is so important to the program that instead of spending time and living it up with former KU stars and current NBA players Andrew Wiggins, Cole Aldrich and Brandon Rush last weekend at Sprint Center, Self and his team stuck with Ward. They attended the preseason game between

the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat after the visit but never considered picking preseason hoops over a part of the family. Because of hospital rules, only the four oldest players on the roster went in to see Ward, two at a time. Senior guard Frank Mason III was one of them, and Thursday, Mason shared his memories of the visit. “Very sad,” Mason said at the team’s media day. “When we got the news, it was just heartbreaking. It’s sad to hear those type of things. Just to go up to the hospital and see him like

that, it was an even worse feeling. ... It was one of the worst things that I’ve ever been a part of.” Added Self: “They were all very moved and saddened to see him in such a tough position.” Despite the difficult encounter last Saturday, one day after Ward’s surgery, athletes and coaches throughout KU campus have been getting nothing but positive news about Ward’s recovery in the days since. Self provided the following update. “I was over there last night,” Self said. “The guy’s got a sense of humor. He’s talking. He’s

moving. He’s sitting up. He watched the volleyball girls play last night. He was excited about that. Short-term memory seems pretty good. Longterm memory seems excellent. He’s totally amazing everybody over there. “He’s a remarkable human being. He’s the best role model the guys can have. He’s as tough a human being as I’ve ever been around. He’s been through more than most of us will ever go through. And to throw a torn aorta on top of everything else, it’s remarkable that he’s doing as well as he’s doing. It’s a miracle. But it’s also a sign of his toughness, too.”

spread the floor with those four guards out there,” Self said. “With Josh and Lagerald and Svi, you’re big enough to play two of those three at the 3 and the 4.” That turns out to be good news for Jackson, who, throughout his career, has played every position on the floor at one time or another. Most often that meant Jackson manning the 2, 3 and 4 spots. But during his sophomore season of high school back in his hometown of Detroit, Jackson played center. And at times this year, during his first few practices with the Jayhawks, Jackson has been the

man with the ball in his hands. “Mostly I’m playing the 2 or the 3,” Jackson said Thursday. “But (Self’s) talked about we’ll go small, so I may be playing some 4. Probably playing four different positions this year.” If, or perhaps more appropriately when that happens, it will mark Self and the Jayhawks joining what the Kansas coach believes is a bit of a trend throughout the game of basketball at all levels. “I think the game is getting smaller,” Self said. “We’ve always been a conventional, three-out, two-in team, but I think this year we’re gonna get

away from that a little bit.” That does not necessarily mean that’s the way Self wants it, but it does mean that Self and his staff believe going with the smaller, faster lineup, at least at times, gives this team the greatest chance to be successful. Still, if it were up to him, Self would continue to make Kansas a factory for big men. “I think it’d be great to play two 7-footers and one of be a guard and one of ’em could really shoot,” he joked. “That’s the way I really want to go, but we don’t quite have that luxury this year.” Instead, poor Kansas,

which on Thursday found out it was the unanimous favorite to win a 13th consecutive Big 12 title, will have to make do with the luxury of having one of the most talented and deepest backcourts in the country and figuring out creative ways to get as many of those guards on the floor at the same time as possible. “I think that’ll be challenging,” Self said. “And that’s something we have not figured out yet as a staff, how we’ll do that. We will do it, but we’re still trying to tinker with what mode we want to play to make it easy for our guys so we don’t have to change how we play.”

Hayden traded punches with Free State in the first set ultimately working to a 16-16 tie, leading Hoffsommer to call a timeout. “She just told us to calm down,” Clarke said. “They were not doing anything crazy hard. We know how to dig. We know how to block. Just do it. (Coach) just told us to relax a bit and we got it.” Following the message, Free State strung five consecutive points together and closed out the first set on a 9-1 run, sealing a 25-17 victory. With the added emphasis to get the middle hitters involved, the Firebirds controlled much of the second set. FSHS will travel to Emporia for a tournament on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

Smithson nominated for award By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A standout defender for the Kansas football team, senior safety Fish Smithson has earned recognition for his offthe-field abilities, as well. Smithson became one of 30 NCAA FBS studentathletes nominated for the 2016 Senior CLASS Award. Nominees for the (Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School) honor are chosen for their excellence in four categories: community, classSmithson r o o m , character and competition. A regular contributor in KU football’s community service activities, Smithson this past spring made both the Big 12 Commissioner and Athletic Director honor rolls. The 5-foot-11 senior from Baltimore enters this week’s game at Baylor leading the Jayhawks in total tackles (24). Smithson also has four pass breakups and two interceptions. Last season, Smithson led the nation with 7.9 solo tackles a game, earning All-Big 12 secondteam honors. The 30 Senior CLASS Award candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists during the regular season, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate. The 10 finalists will be awarded Senior CLASS Award first- or second-team honors. Another Jayhawks defensive back, former KU corner JaCorey Shepherd, became a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award in 2014, and made the second team. Smithson is one of four players from the Big 12 to be named a candidate, joining Oklahoma’s Jordan Evans and West Virginia’s Skyler Howard and Tyler Orlosky. This year, the Senior CLASS Award also will honor deceased Nebraska student-athlete Sam Foltz by making him an honorary candidate. The 2015 Big Ten Punter of the Year and a preseason candidate for the Ray Guy Award, Foltz was killed in an automobile accident on July 23, after attending a kicking camp in Wisconsin.
