He said the condom dispensers will be installed in the bathrooms of each school’s health office, where students can discretely come and go without having to intercept the school nurse, administrators, teachers and classmates in the process. They’ll also receive training in how to safely and

WHAT FLOATS YOUR BOAT?
Democratic State Sen. Marci Francisco of Lawrence was taken to task during a candidate forum Sunday over the number of times she votes “pass” in the Legislature, while her Republican challenger Meredith Richey was challenged on her knowledge of education funding. Meanwhile, 5 of the 6 candidates running in contested races for local Kansas House seats generally agreed on a wide range of issues, although they clashed on a few issues such as abortion rights and transgender bathrooms. Those were some of the highlights of two legislative forums held at Lawrence City Hall that were sponsored by the Voter Education Coalition and the WOW cable system. The issue of attendance and voting came near the end of the Senate portion of the forum when a question submitted by an audience member asked, “How important is it for you to be present and voting for > FORUMS, 3A

Joining her on the team were two other hometown KU freshmen, Sarah Edmonds and Jacob Schepp, along with freshmen Tim Larson, of Chicago, and Justin Roderman, of North Dallas, Texas. Minutes before the race’s start, Roderman, who would be tasked with paddling the boat across Potter Lake in the Student Union Activities sponsored regatta, said he didn’t know exactly what would be asked of him, but was hopeful the team’s entry would float

He and his partner on the two-man Mazda Boat Shoe Skate Gang team, junior Kris Snyder, were members of the winning team in the inaugural event last year. “Eighty percent of the boats sink immediately when getting on the water,” Peterson said.

At home, you might swap out a few light bulbs for energy efficient ones and save a few cents a year on your electric bill. At the University of Kansas, that’s happening on a much larger scale: Over the past year and a half, KU has replaced more than 4,500 lights with LED lamps, leading to an estimated annual savings of $61,720. KU reduced energy use enough over the past year to meet — and exceed — its overall energy consumption goal, according to the university’s most recent campuswide energy report. The figures on light bulbs are among results tallied in the report, which was completed over the summer and announced this fall. KU spends more than $12 million annually on utility costs including electricity, natural gas, water, waste removal and other services, according to the university’s energy conservation policy. The policy says that consumption results in the release of more than 238,000 metric tons of carbon equivalents each year. The policy, first adopted in 2009, states that the university’s goal was to reduce total energy consumption to 100 kBTUs per square foot per year, using square feet so energy measurements can remain consistent as campus grows and buildings are added or changed. Last year KU beat that goal. Consumption was 98 kBTUs per square foot in fiscal year > ENERGY, 2A

GEORGE J. WORTH A celebration of life for Professor Emeritus George J. Worth will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 23, 2016, at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lawrence, 1263 N. 1100 Road. Mr. Worth, 87, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 7th, 2016, at Bridge Haven at Alvamar. He was born on June 11, 1929, in Vienna, Austria, the son of Adolph and Theresa Schmerzler Worth (Wirtschafter). As a child, he left Vienna with his family during the Nazi occupation, and emigrated first to London, and finally to Chicago. He attended public schools beginning as a fifthgrader at John Fiske School in 1940, and graduated from Hyde Park High School in 1946. Mr. Worth attended the University of Chicago from 1946 to 1951, receiving his B.A. in 1948 and his M.A. in 1951, then moved on to the University of Illinois at Urbana for doctoral study. Before receiving his Ph.D. from Illinois in 1954, he spent the 195354 academic year writing his dissertation while on a Fulbright scholarship at University College London. In 1955, Mr. Worth began a fortyyear teaching career at Kansas University as an instructor, and was promoted to full professor in 1965. He taught students at all levels, ranging from remedial composition to honors courses to graduate seminars, directed 22 Ph.D. dissertations, and 11 senior honors essays. He was beloved by his students, many of whom he maintained contact with long after they left KU, and was the recipient of several teaching awards, including the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1988, and the Chancellor's Club Career Teaching Award in 1994. Mr. Worth served as chair for the Department of English from 1964 through 1979, chaired the Senate/Faculty Executive Committee from 198081, the Search Committee for the Dean of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1975, and the Chancellor's Task Force on Faculty Development in 1979. Nationally, he extensive engaged in consulting, as an evaluator of English departments, of candidates for promotion and tenure at other universities, and of manuscripts submitted for publication. Mr. Worth himself wrote six published books and co edited three others, as

2016, down from 106 kBTUs per square foot in fiscal year 2015, according to an announcement from KU’s Center for Sustainability and the KU Energy Office. “We are excited to reach our goal, but the work doesn’t stop there,” KU energy manager George Werth said in the announcement. “There are still energy conservation measures we can implement to continue to reduce energy intensity further.” According to the KU Energy Office’s fiscal year 2016 report, the year’s energy conservation measures included: l Communicating with departments to optimize the scheduling plan for shutting down heating and cooling for more hours at a time when buildings are not in use. l Tracking monthly energy use of buildings, flagging the ones where it’s repeatedly or largely increasing and then

trying to figure out the problem and fix it. l Investigating buildings with high energy use or “severe comfort problems,” and trying to fix those, too. l In a pilot effort, deploying “Green Teams” in the following five buildings to identify energy saving opportunities and encourage behavioral changes: Ambler Student Recreation Center, Blake Hall, Dole Institute of Politics, Multidisciplinary Research Building and the Shankel Structural Biology Center. The team in the Multidisciplinary Research Building, on West Campus, was particularly active. Occupants of one room have put away their space heaters after a thermostat was fixed, and users of firstand third-floor bathrooms that were too cold are now more comfortable, too, after hot water coils were investigated and fixed, according to the energy report. More dramatically, the building conducted a “Shut the Sash” campaign to curb climate-controlled air from, basically, going up in smoke through laboratory fume
hoods being left wide open. Fun fact, according to the energy report: Based on 29 fume hoods, the campaign prevented more than 322 million cubic feet of air from being air conditioned and exhausted to the outdoors. That’s enough air to fill Allen Fieldhouse more than 43 times. “We are excited to combine technical and behavior efforts to reduce energy use even more at KU,” Jeff Severin, Center for Sustainability director, said in KU’s announcement. “We have seen as much as a 10 to 20 percent reduction in electricity with these practices combined in the past.” The KU energy conservation policy’s stated goal is to put measures in place to “realistically and comprehensively reduce energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency on campus consistent with the needs for a safe, secure, inviting campus community.” It calls for “an aggressive and progressive approach.”

ON THE RECORD well as numerous articles, essays, and reviews; he also delivered papers at regional, national, and international meetings. Mr. Worth's particular area of interest was Victorian literature, with a focus on the works of Dickens. He Charles served as President of the Dickens Society in 1984, and chaired the MLA English 10 Victorian Literature program committee in 1974. Mr. Worth met his future bride, Carol L. Dinsdale, during their elementary school days in Chicago. They married on March 17, 1951, and Carol preceded him in death on July 19, 2013. Together, they greatly enjoyed European travels, theater, opera, classical music, fine dining, reading, Scrabble, KU basketball, and Royals baseball, especially their many friends and family. Mr. Worth was a remarkably caring and attentive caregiver as Carol struggled with Alzheimer's for more than six years. He was a kind, goodhumored, and gracious gentleman, and will truly be missed. Survivors include his son, Paul, and granddaughter, Hayley, of Wichita, daughter Theresa “Terry” Wilkinson, granddaughters Lauren (Nick) Adams and Claire (Aaron Stehman) Wilkinson, Lawrence, Lisa (David Eagle) Wilkinson, London, England, and five greatgrandchildren. The family would especially like to thank the devoted Assisted Living caregivers and staff both at Brandon Woods and at Bridge Haven, as well as the Visiting Nurses Association hospice staff, all of whom do such important work each and every day. Donations in Mr. Worth's name may be made to the Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association Hospice, sent in care of RumseyYost Funeral Home. Online condolences may be sent to rumsey yost.com. ¸

planning was all for nautical naught. Both boats took on water on launch and both teammates ended up swimming across the lake with boats in tow. “It was too small,” a soaked Peterson said at the end of his swim. “The boat was too small.” The Reginald won the four-boat competition with a time of 2:32, and the team had the only craft in the four-boat regatta to survive the crossing of Potter Lake. Eason said the success made her confident she could escape a desert island with the right materials. “If I had an oar and 30 cardboard boxes, seven rolls of duct tape, four rolls of Gorilla tape, four spray cans of paint and two spray cans of lacquer,” she said. “It was more expensive than we thought it would be.” Nonetheless, the winning teammates were already planning to defend their title next year. “Teamwork makes the dream work,” Roderman said. “That was probably the best time I’ve had in a long time.”

November date set for S. Lawrence Trafficway ribbon cutting Town Talk

or against issues that are important to your Senate district?” “I think it’s very important to be present and involved with the Legislature,” said Francisco, a Lawrence Democrat. “I think I can say I’m probably the only Senator that has a record of 100 percent attendance and 100 percent voting for the past 12 years.” But Richey, who is from Perry, said that only told part of the story. “I feel like my opponent is talking about being in elementary school with 100 percent attendance,” she said. “It’s just a shame that in the last four years alone, she voted ‘pass’ on bills 97 times.” Richey had raised the issue of Francisco’s “pass” votes a couple of times earlier in the hour-long forum, including once when she challenged Francisco’s “pass” vote on a controversial school funding bill that was intended to address an earlier Kansas Supreme Court order about funding equity. “Her own party voted against that bill and was so upset with her that (Senate Democratic Leader Anthony) Hensley said, ‘I’m done with you,’” Richey said. Francisco, however, defended that vote, saying she didn’t want to oppose

’ve gotten word that a date has been set for the ribbon cutting of the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway. KDOT plans to have a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. on Nov. 4 near the eastern end of the SLT, or near the intersection of East 1750 Road, which is also known as
Noria Road. Do not, however, plan to start driving on the SLT right away. My understanding is the road won’t actually open to traffic on Nov. 4. KDOT is still saying the road will open before Thanksgiving, but an exact date hasn’t been set. The road looks largely completed,
but there is some ancillary work still being done on the site. Also, KDOT has said it wants to make various safety improvements to the intersection of the SLT and Kasold Drive extended. That intersection is on the western portion of the SLT, which has long been open. KDOT officials,
though, expect traffic on the western leg of the SLT to increase significantly once the eastern leg of the trafficway is open. Thus, KDOT wants to complete those improvements before the eastern leg opens. Those improvements shouldn’t take long — they involve some barriers to limit
turning motions — but work hasn’t yet started on that project. Expect the ribbon cutting on Nov. 4 to be a big deal. The SLT project has been in the works for more than two decades, has been the subject of at least two major federal
providing additional money for schools, but she believed the bill in question was unconstitutional, noting that the Supreme Court did, in fact, strike it down later. “If enough other legislators passed, then we would continue working on that issue rather than sending it on,” she said. “I think it could have saved us the special session if we had just sat and worked on it.” Their clash over education policy came amid a question specifically about the Lawrence school district. The question, which had been drafted in advance by the Voter Education Coalition, began with a premise that the district is receiving more than $1 million in state funding this year as a result of the Supreme Court’s order, but that the school board had voted to spend more than $5 million to buy iPads while eliminating 15 teaching positions. “If elected, what would you do to ensure that funding for schools is at a proper level, but that it is also spent wisely at the local level?” moderator Stefanie Bryant asked. The question was arguably misleading from the beginning because the additional state money did not result in a net increase in the district’s budget. The money was in the form of “equalization aid” for the district’s local option budget and could only be used to lower the amount of local property taxes the district
during the segment that featured candidates for the Kansas House. There, candidates in the three contested local races all said they think Kansas schools need additional funding, that the state needs to find additional revenue to pay for education and other services, and that Kansas should at least consider expanding its Medicaid program as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. And they all said they oppose a current law, which is scheduled to take effect July 1, requiring public colleges and universities in Kansas to allow the carrying of concealed weapons on campus. But there were a few flashes of disagreement on other policy issues, including whether the state should impose more restrictions on abortion and whether the state should allow Planned Parenthood to receive public health funds. Republican Jim Karleskint of Tonganoxie, who defeated incumbent Rep. Connie O’Brien in the 42nd District primary in August, was the only candidate to say directly that he opposes abortion. “I’m opposed to abortion,” he said. “My concern about Planned Parenthood is that we’re supporting abortions.” In fact, Kansas lawmakers permanently cut off House candidates forum funding for Planned ParentThere was consider- hood this year by enacting a ably less disagreement law that effectively restricts
eligibility for family planning funds to city and county health departments. For a number of years before that, lawmakers put similar language into each year’s budget bill. Kansas also became the first state in the nation last year to ban a certain procedure commonly used in first trimester abortions known as “dilation and evacuation,” or D and E, but which abortion opponents have dubbed “dismemberment” abortions. A Shawnee County judge struck down that law last summer, and the Kansas Court of Appeals split evenly, 7-7, on the issue, which effectively meant that the lower court ruling stands. But another appeal is now pending to the Kansas Supreme Court. All of the other candidates who attended the forum said they support funding Planned Parenthood, primarily because most of the services it provides are unrelated to abortion. But there were subtle differences in their answers to the question about more abortion restrictions. Kara Reed, Karleskint’s Democratic opponent, and Rep. Barbara Ballard, the Democratic incumbent in the 44th House District, both said they support the state’s current legislation. “Abortion is the law of the land. It is legal,” Reed said. “I do reluctantly agree with the current restrictions that we have in
the state of Kansas. I do not think any more should be put on abortion. Ballard’s Republican challenger, Michael Lindsey, did not attend the forum. Rep. Tom Sloan, Republican incumbent in the 45th District, outlined circumstances in which he thinks abortion is permissible. “I do think that when a woman’s life is at risk, when the fetus will be born with so many abnormalities that it’s not viable, in situations of rape and incest, that abortion is a reasonable measure to take,” Sloan said. But his Democratic challenger, Terry Manies of Lecompton, was more emphatic. “I support a person’s right to make their own medical decisions in any and all cases, period, end of story,” she said. Two other Lawrence-area House members, Reps. Boog Highberger and John Wilson, both Democrats, do not face challengers this year and so were not part of Sunday’s forum. The Voter Education Coalition will hold another forum tonight for Douglas County Commission and Kansas State Board of Education candidates. The deadline to register in time for the Nov. 8 election is Tuesday. Advance voting begins Wednesday.
levies to fund that budget. Francisco pointed that out in her answer when she said, “the ruling on equity gave money, not to the schools, but as a reduction of property taxes.” Richey, however, stated incorrectly that the money, “was not given as a property tax reduction. It was given directly to the school district.” “Your local school board spends your money under the guidance of the superintendent,” Richey said. “And so they did make a decision to take that and make it a property tax reduction.” Sen. Tom Holland, a Democrat from Baldwin City who is running for re-election in the 3rd Senate District, said he did not think it should be the Legislature’s job to supervise how school districts manage their budgets. “I have my hands full at the state level trying to adequately fund education,” he said. “I would just ask that if you have local concerns about how those budgets are being managed, you need to engage at the local level. You need to contact the school board members. You need to ask them what’s going on.” Holland’s Republican challenger, Echo Van Meteren of Linwood, did not attend the forum Sunday.

Decent start Crime statistics show Lawrence is trending in the right direction, but the work is far from complete.
T
here is good news and bad in crime statistics for Lawrence released this week. The good? Crime rates decreased in almost all categories from 2005 to 2015. The bad? During the past 10 years is good news, but the numbers also reveal that there is still work to be done. Data collected by the Lawrence Police Department and organized by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation show that 10 of the 11 crime categories declined from 2005 to 2015. Total crimes reported per capita, violent crimes per capita and property crimes per capita are all down in Lawrence. Between 2005 and 2015, the total number of crimes reported per 1,000 people in Lawrence dropped from 51.4 to 41.3, approximately 20 percent, the data show. Violent crimes per 1,000 people dropped from four in 2005 to 2.5 in 2015. Property crimes per 1,000 people decreased from 47.5 to 38.8, approximately 18 percent. The stats definitely demonstrate an encouraging trend. But it must be noted that crime rates have decreased across the board in most Kansas cities, and in general, the rates of decline in Lawrence are slower than in cities such as Olathe, Overland Park and Manhattan. Lawrence’s crime rates are more closely aligned with urban communities like Topeka and Wichita. Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said the geography of Lawrence — its proximity to Kansas City and Topeka — and the presence of the University of Kansas creates an environment where more people are coming in and out of Lawrence on a regular basis, making it more open to crimes than communities of similar populations in more isolated areas. The one crime category on the rise in Lawrence is rape and it nearly doubled. The data show that 34 rapes were reported in 2005, compared to 60 in 2015. On average, approximately 48 rapes were reported each year during that time span. Khatib rightly noted that the increase in rapes reported in Lawrence could be the result of better education and better policing that has increased the willingness of victims to report rape incidents. Still, it remains concerning that rape statistics in Lawrence are on the rise. The crime stats show Khatib and the Lawrence police department deserve credit for working to reduce Lawrence’s crime rate. But within the stats, it’s also clear there is more work to be done to make Lawrence a safer community.
Donald Trump a threat to rule of law Donald Trump’s threat to jail Hillary Clinton if he’s elected just underlined why he so admires that “strong leader” Vladimir Putin. No pesky checks on executive power when you operate out of the Kremlin. Send your opponents to Siberia and no one says “boo.” But here’s what’s even more depressing in this ugly election season — the percentage of voters who cheer as Trump trashes the Constitution. In their anger at a system that appears broken, many Americans embrace Trump’s autocratic values. Even if the Donald loses, their loss of faith in democracy threatens our future. So hats off to Khizr Khan for reminding us — yet again — about the danger of undermining democratic values. Khan, you’ll recall, is the Pakistani immigrant father of fallen Iraqi war hero Capt. Humayun Khan, who so eloquently denounced Trump’s stance against immigrants and Muslims at the Democratic convention — saying those views betrayed the tenets of the U.S. Constitution. (Trump then made derogatory remarks about Khan’s wife Ghazala, a Gold Star mother.) This week Khizr Khan was asked on MSNBC about the low point of the second presidential debate, in which Trump vowed that Clinton would “be in jail” if he ran the country. Clearly agitated, Khan spat out words that every American should repeat daily: “This is not the Congo. This the United States of America, a country of laws.” Unlike many Americans, immigrants like Khan appreciate what a difference rule of law makes, even when it is far from perfect in

Khan emigrated from Pakistan, where the military overthrows civilian governments that displease it. Intelligence agencies operate with impunity and in cahoots with Islamist terrorist organizations, while critical journalists are beaten and sometimes killed. So the Khans were thrilled to come to a country where the words “rule of law” had a meaning. “We believed in American democracy,” Khan told the convention. He pulled out a pocket copy of the Constitution and asked whether Trump had even read it, including the words “equal protection of the law.” Khan regularly distributes those pocket Constitutions to ROTC cadets in training to be military officers, and whom he hosts in honor of his fallen son. That’s why Khan found it so shocking that a presidential candidate would threaten to jail an opponent if he won power. Trump said at the debate that, if he wins, he would instruct his attorney general (no doubt someone
such as Chris Christie, who has already declared Clinton “guilty”) to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s “situation.” Never mind that, after a thorough investigation, the FBI found no grounds for legal proceedings. “This candidate has no regard for … the laws of this country,” Khan said in disgust. What is most egregious about Trump’s pledge is that no “special prosecutor” has ever been used by a president of one party to go after a defeated candidate of another party. As Michael Chertoff, a head of Homeland Security under George W. Bush, put it, this “smacks of … tin-pot dictators in other parts of the world.” Yet many Americans chant and cheer when Trump shouts: “Lock her up.” Even Trump’s supposedly more rational choice for veep, Mike Pence, praised his threat to jail Clinton as “one of the better moments of the debate.” Ever so casually, Pence inferred that he viewed America’s vaunted democracy as little different from Moscow’s, or Egypt’s, — where former leaders languish in prison. Are Trump and Pence even aware that Putin sent his most powerful political opponent, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, to Siberia for 10 years on trumped-up tax charges? Or that a more recent opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, is kept on a leash by having his brother jailed — essentially a hostage — on false charges? Under Putin, there are no limits when it comes to revenge against opponents. The wonderful opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was assassinated last year near the Kremlin. But Trump doesn’t care about democratic niceties, as

he continues to praise Putin’s leadership qualities. (At the debate he insisted, yet again, that Russia wasn’t behind the hacking of Democratic party officials, even though the U.S. intelligence community has formally charged Russia with responsibility.) What should worry us even more is that Trump supporters love the idea of jailing his opponents. They cheer when he says, if elected, he would sue federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing the Trump University case. Trump has accused the judge of bias because of his Mexican ancestry. Never mind separation of powers or independent judiciary. They cheer when Trump says he wants to change libel laws so he can bankrupt any newspaper that says things he dislikes. Never mind the First Amendment. They also cheer when he says he will cause “such problems” for Amazon, because its founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Washington Post, which criticizes him. Shades of Putin, who goes after businessmen who displease him. Wooed by Trump’s demagoguery, or just disgusted by this election, too many Americans fail to appreciate the value of the constitutional provisions that distinguish this country from Russia and Pakistan. They never stop to imagine what life would be like without such protections. Immigrants like Khizr Khan, on the other hand, value constitutional protections. They have seen what happens when they are absent. They know how much worse life can be when there is no rule of law.
Letters to the editor
OLD HOME TOWN From the Kansas Daily Tribune for Oct. 17, 1866: “An Old Friend. – A day or two ago, we had the pleasure of years grasping the hand of an old friend ago – a friend of the days of Fifty-six – IN 1866 Jason Younker. Mr. Younker left here in 1858, for that ill-defined tract of country called in days of yore, ‘Pike’s Peak.’ Since then, the ‘Peak’ has lost its golden reputation, and the many adventurous spirits that made Lawrence their point of departure for that mythical region were long since undeceived in regard to the auriferous character of the terra incognita of ‘Pike’s Peak.’ Although Younker has grown older in years since we parted with him, we find his heart as young and buoyant as ever. The ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ have touched him lightly, if they have reached him at all…. Our best, honest, heart-felt good wishes go with Mr. Younker, wherever the commands of Dame Fortune or his own vagaries may lead him.” “Racing. – This sport is becoming, even with our staid and sober New England community, very popular. Yesterday, at the Lawrence Fair Grounds, quite a large number of our people assembled to witness the various trials of speed.”

Struggling to deal with the North Korean danger Seoul, South Korea — When South Korean officials talk about the growing nuclear challenge from the North, they use red-alert phrases like “existential threat,” “imminent danger” and “dagger at the throat.” They want Americans to understand that this long-running story of brinksmanship has entered a new phase. One senior South Korean official told me starkly: “A nuclear missile from the North can land on this office in four to five minutes. We don’t have the luxury of thinking twice. ... This is no longer a dark cloud on the horizon. It’s a threat at our doorstep.” A few miles away at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, where U.S. troops are headquartered, a senior U.S. military officer offered a similar warning. He noted that the base, like most of Seoul, has lived for decades under threat from North Korean artillery across the demilitarized zone, but he said the nuclear menace is different: “This is not just a throwback to the Korean War. It’s an evolving threat that is becoming dangerous outside the Korean Peninsula.” These conversations illustrate why the North Korean nuclear issue may top the security worries of the next U.S.

president. There’s a sense here, among South Korean and American officials alike, that President Kim Jong-un, the mercurial leader in Pyongyang, is racing through the warning lights to gain a nuclear weapons and missile capability to attack his neighbors, and also the United States. The next American president will have to decide what to do about it. “What North Korea wants is what it can’t get, which is acceptance as a nuclear weapons state,” argues Christopher Hill, a former U.S. ambassador who headed the unsuccessful “SixParty Talks” with North Korea that began in 2005. He was speaking at the “World Knowledge Forum” conference here. The frustration voiced by American and South Korean officials is that nothing has succeeded in checking the North’s relentless advance toward nuclear weapons. Diplomatic talks, U.N. economic sanctions
and threats of military force have all failed. North Korea is a pitifully backward country, except in its nuclear and missile programs. Even China seems to have limited leverage. Many analysts think Beijing could successfully pressure North Korea. But although the Chinese sent a special emissary last year to warn against a fourth nuclear test, the regime went ahead in January. Beijing then supported a U.N. Security Council resolution in March condemning North Korea and imposing sanctions, and Kim responded with a fifth nuclear test last month. How should the U.S. work with Seoul to combat this intractable problem? Some leading South Korean officials offered useful suggestions. Tightening sanctions is a first step. U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power was just here discussing a new resolution to do that. South Korea hopes it will close the so-called “livelihood” exemption that allows North Korea to export coal to China. The Chinese have so far balked at squeezing their neighbor harder. Driving a wedge between Kim and members of his government elite is another South Korean proposal. President
Park Geun-hye told her Cabinet this week that a recent increase in high-level defections shows the fragility of Kim’s regime — and that South Korea should encourage even more defectors. Seoul’s message is that if Kim keeps subordinating all other concerns to his nuclear ambition, the regime will eventually implode. Deterring the North militarily is what South Korea wants most from America. Park has agreed to installation of the U.S. THAAD missile-defense system, but that won’t be ready until December 2017. South Korean officials hope the U.S. can reassure a jittery public about the reliability of its nuclear umbrella — politely termed “extended deterrence.” That could mean more overflights by B-52 and B-1 bombers, more visits by top U.S. officials, and more joint defense talks like those scheduled in Washington next week. What happens if all these efforts fail, and Kim deploys nuclear-tipped missiles that could hit U.S. territory? An unpalatable military choice may confront the next president — for the simple reason that nothing else seems to have worked. — David Ignatius’ email address is davidignatius@washpost.com.

Condoms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
developing Lawrence’s. “All of the research we found definitely supported a more open-access method as opposed to the more structured method of availability.” The Health Department has cited plenty of research to support its approach, first publicly at a Lawrence school board meeting late last month and in ensuing TV news segments after the Journal-World’s initial report on the program. According to the Health Department’s frequently cited 2013 (the newest available) statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 39 percent of Kansas high school students have had sex. Nearly 68 percent did not use any form of birth control. Students who undergo school-based condom education, Showalter 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. And the parents of Lawrence, Showalter said, seem to acknowledge this. So far, he said, the Health Department and its partners at Lawrence Public Schools have observed generally positive feedback. “I think Lawrence is just a more progressive, or a more understanding, community,” Showalter said. “They realize the importance of programs like this for students who might be more vulnerable.” That may indeed be the case. When the Topeka school board discovered in 2007 that a basket of condoms (initiated by a student and supplied by the Topeka Aids Project) had been made available to Topeka High School students at the school’s nurse station, district officials promptly shut down the program, which they said had been operating without their knowledge. It had been in existence, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal, for about a month. At the time, Topeka interim Superintendent Terry Sandlin said the district had a policy against providing condoms to students because, in the district’s view, such matters are between parents and their children. Any proposal to make condoms available, he said, should be discussed with the school board after consulting with parents and community leaders. Lawrence’s program,

‘‘
I do think Kansas is a pretty conservative state, and this is a sort of gray area for kids who are approaching adulthood who are legally not adults yet.”
Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department 10 years ago and still maintains close ties to the department through its partnership with KU, has followed the media attention surrounding the Lawrence district’s openaccess program since it was first introduced last month. She was eager to see whether online commenters would show support of the initiative or, like Topeka nearly a decade ago, condemn it. Most of the comments generated by the JournalWorld’s Facebook post about the initial condoms-in-schools report and a subsequent letter to the editor criticizing the program on moral grounds, to her surprise, have been positive. In communities like Andale, where McKee grew up being taught abstinence-only sexuality education in her public school, the pushback would have been far, far greater, she theorizes. But Lawrence may, like its public-school system, be something of an outlier in an otherwise conservative state. Most of the “confusion” surrounding comprehensive sexuality education, she said, stems from the belief that providing students with condoms encourages sexual activity. For the record, McKee said, it doesn’t. And the World Health Organization, among other agencies, agrees with her that counseling and access to contraceptives does not encourage earlier or increased sexual activity. Condoms could be available at Lawrence High School and Free State High School as soon as this week, the Health Department said.
— Kansas School Nurse Organization President Annie Wallace
on the other hand, was approved by the Lawrence school board with little public notice. District officials sent a letter to parents notifying them that the program was under consideration just three days before the school board took up the topic. The notification letter failed to note when the school board would discuss the item. The original agenda for that meeting initially did not make mention of the condom program. It was added later, but no notification was given to the public or the media that the issue had been added to the agenda. A quick Google search of “condoms in Kansas schools” dredges up seemingly only two examples of such programs in the state: Topeka High School’s long-gone basket and, now, Lawrence Public Schools. Calls to several health and education agencies — among them the Kansas State Department of Education, the Kansas State Department of Health and Environment, the Kansas State Board of Education and the Kansas Association of School Boards — yielded similar results. There does not seem to be, based on these inquiries and the input of experts such as Kansas School Nurse Organization President Annie Wallace, any large-scale effort to keep tabs on open-access condoms programs in Kansas schools. Wallace, a registered nurse who works as the nurse manager at Olathe’s Kansas School for the Deaf, said such programs have historically been “a controversial topic” in Kansas, where it’s unclear how many, if any, school districts are providing condoms to their students in any capacity. School nurses, Wallace included, are broadly in favor of this kind of comprehensive sexuality education, she noted. “It’s a health issue and it’s a preventative health issue. And it’s proven to be very effective, when you look at the research,” Wallace said. “But I do
think Kansas is a pretty conservative state, and this is a sort of gray area for kids who are approaching adulthood who are legally not adults yet.” And school nurses, she said, tend to be the grown-ups students seek out most often for information about sex and birth control, probably because kids aren’t fully comfortable broaching the subject with their parents. That’s unfortunate, agrees health educator Jenny McKee, because school districts aren’t always fully comfortable with the idea, either. In that regard, Lawrence Public Schools is something of a “pioneer” in sexuality education, she said. The district in 2014 adopted national sexuality education standards that offered a more comprehensive approach, including expanded information on birth control and sexual orientation, than the standards approved by the Kansas State Board of Education in 2006. By and large, though, students are graduating Kansas public schools without adequate knowledge of sex, their bodies, and how to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, said McKee, who works as the program manager of the health education resource office at the University of Kansas’ Watkins Health Services. “Students are still receiving that information in a way that I would expect from my 10-year-old son to have, giggling under — K-12 education reporter Joanna his breath,” McKee said of her work with college stu- Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388. Follow her on Twitter: dents. “I think that parents @HlavacekJoanna expect the school to do a certain amount of work toward that, and I think that schools in the past have only been able to talk about certain things.” “One hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing, or doesn’t ask or doesn’t tell,” leaving students vulnerable to misinformation from their peers or questionable Internet sources, she added.

Look for the road to change traffic patterns in Lawrence significantly. It already is creating development pressure, evidenced by the new and proposed retail development along south Iowa Street. U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, as we reported, was in Lawrence Thursday. In a brief conversation I had with him, he told me he plans to attend the

ribbon cutting. His office was instrumental in securing federal funding for the project. Roberts estimated he worked a good 11 years on funding issues for the road. Given that, he said he knows what one of his messages will be at the ribbon cutting. “Sometimes you just have to be persistent,” Roberts said. Roberts said he remains convinced that the trafficway will play a key role in creating a high-tech corridor between Manhattan and the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility there and Kansas City and the large animal health sciences industry that exists in the metro. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

Region’s blue-collar workers seem ripe for Trump’s message, but major share of voters are undecided
Jeremy Fugleberg
The Cincinnati Enquirer SPRINGFIELD, OHIO With just weeks left until Election Day, Kevin Doane remains undecided. Mostly. “I’ll be honest with you. When it comes time, I probably won’t know until the end,” said the 63year-old owner of a title company in this small Rust Belt city. Doane grew up a Democrat but became a reliably Republican voter. This year, that streak may end. “I know one thing: I won’t vote for Donald Trump,” he said. “Absolutely not.”
This is what passes for certainty in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat and largest town. It’s a swing county in the quintessential swing state. In 2012, Clark County supported GOP candidate Mitt Romney, but by only 523 votes out of 64,301 cast for president. Its purple-county status isn’t the only reason Clark County matters this year, either. For Trump to win the election, he must steal away blue-collar Democrats from Hillary Clinton — people who, like Clark County’s residents, generally are whiter, poorer and less educated than Ohio as a whole.
Ohio has a larger share of white residents without college degrees than nearly any other swing state. That’s why it has remained close or leaned a few points toward Trump while Clinton pulls ahead in other states. In Clark County, it’s clear not all of these blue-collar voters are sold on Trump. His protectionist promises and rhetoric about jobstealing immigrants resonate with some of the county’s fence-sitters. But many others are turned off by his inability to campaign with discipline and stay on point on the topics they care about.
Pat Bray leaves work in downtown Springfield, Ohio. The century-old city hall and marketplace, which now serves as Clark County’s heritage center, is in the background.

Iraq’s prime minister said early Monday that its ground forces are starting the final offensive to drive the Islamic State from Mosul in what will be a defining battle in the campaign against the militant group. Iraq’s security forces backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes will face several thousand militants in the sprawling city. They are surrounded by improvised explosives and other obstacles, as well as ditches filled with oil that could be set on fire. Iraq’s state television showed a brief written statement announcing the start of the operation and showed Prime Minister Haider alAbadi dressed in a military uniform and speaking to senior officers, the Associated Press reported.

city, is also home to about 1 million civilians, many of whom have been unable to flee the city. “We are proud to stand with you in this historic operation,” Brett McGurk, the State Department official in charge of the campaign to counter the Islamic State, tweeted.
About 12 U.S.-trained Iraqi brigades will be involved in the operation, in addition to thousands of loyal tribal and self defense forces who will participate in securing the city once Islamic State militants are cleared from the city. A brigade generally numbers several thousand fighters. “The size of Mosul makes this by far the largest task the ISF has undertaken to date,” Air Force Col. John Dorrian, a coalition spokesman, said last week, referring to Iraqi security forces. It will be the most challenging test yet for Iraqi forces, who will face between 3,000 and 4,500 fighters in the city, according to the Pentagon. The fighters vary in their level of commitment, but at least several hundred will be willing to die fighting. The Islamic State also frequently uses human shields to avoid coalition firepower.

MIAMI Donald Trump’s derogatory comments about Mexicans and his vow to build a wall along the southern U.S. border have failed to spark a surge in voter registrations among Hispanics living in key swing states, a USA TODAY analysis shows. The study looked at the 50 counties with the largest Hispanic population in 10 swing states and found that voter registrations in those counties have increased during the 2016 election cycle. But the gains simply mirrored the growth in the Hispanic population and did not represent a “Trump effect” — a rush to register by Hispanics who plan to vote against the Republican presidential nominee — as some Democratic and Hispanic groups had expected. Overall, voter rolls in those 50 counties increased by 3.8% in the lead-up to the 2016 election, compared to a 3.5% increase during the 2012 election cycle. Those increases are explained by overall population growth (2.9% this election cycle and 2.7% in the 2012 period) as well as even faster growth in the Hispanic population, which has jumped nearly 10% since 2010. The lack of a “Trump effect” is

unidentified student whose tale of sexual brutality in a fraternity house set off a nationwide firestorm when the magazine published the article in November 2014. Eramo is suing the magazine for nearly $8 million, saying A Rape on Campus cast her as the “chief villain.” Lawyers for Eramo have included Jackie on their witness list. The gripping article detailed Jackie’s claim that she was at a fraternity party on Sept. 28, 2012, when she was lured upstairs, raped and beaten by several men over a three-hour period. The fraternity immediately challenged the article’s claims, which quickly
drew intense media scrutiny followed by skepticism. Charlottesville police investigated and found no evidence of rape. The magazine commissioned the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism to study the way the article was handled. That 13,000-word report — 4,000 words longer than the article itself — found a systematic failure by the magazine, starting with relying too heavily on a single source: Jackie. The magazine issued an apology in December 2014 for its failures in reporting and editing. The story was fully retracted four months later.
“They made it look like I used the trust of, yeah, women to cover up rapes.” Nicole Eramo, plaintiff in lawsuit
Eramo’s lawsuit claims writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely and the magazine sought “to weave a narrative that depicted the University of Virginia as an institution that is indifferent to rape on campus, and more concerned with protecting its reputation than with assisting victims of sexual assault.” Eramo still works for the university, but no longer as a dean of students. She spoke with ABC News
last week, saying Rolling Stone depicted her as insensitive to students who were sexual assault victims. “They made it look like I used the trust of, yeah, women to cover up rapes,” Eramo said. “It was just unbelievable to me.” The magazine issued a statement accusing Eramo’s lawyers of “attempting to shift the focus of her lawsuit in the media to Rolling Stone’s reporting errors.” The statement pointed to a U.S. Education Department investigation of the university’s practices — an investigation that found a “mixed record of responding to reports of sexual harassment and sexual violence.”

And despite what the stats — and Trump — may say, others just don’t feel the desperation he describes. Even five years ago, beleaguered Clark County might have been more interested in Trump’s message, said Michael McDorman, president of the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce and a Springfield native with deep family ties to the manufacturing industry. But now, the county is clawing its way out of its economic hole, diversifying with new servicesector jobs and rejuvenating its downtown. Even manufacturing is hiring again, bringing back blue-collar jobs. “We’re starting to see a change in Springfield. We’re starting to see people believe in themselves again,” he said. “We’re starting to see us move forward and take some risk in order to move forward.” Seven years ago, Cheri Crothers returned with her husband to Springfield, her childhood home. She found a city transformed, but not for the better. She reels off a list of manufacturers that disappeared. “We were driving through Springfield, and there was closedup Robbins & Myers; William Bailey’s gone, SPECO’s gone,” said Crothers, a Democrat. “A lot of these manufacturers that I remember as a child growing up here, that were so active, were not here anymore.” Kyle Koehler owns the tool and die company K.K. Tool Co. in Springfield and represents Clark County as a Republican in the Ohio House. The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, became law in 1994 and was hailed by both Republicans and Democrats as a tool to eliminate barriers to trade and investment between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In Springfield, NAFTA is still a dirty word. While other factors lured away jobs and sometimes shut down entire factories, NAFTA bears some of the blame — and gets plenty of it. Before NAFTA, Koehler recalled, you could walk into a home improvement store and pick up steel wool made by International Steel Wool and see “Springfield, Ohio” on the back. “Because of NAFTA, that company packed up, went to Mexico and in a year folded and was gone,” he said. “It was a good, vital company that was in Springfield that provided jobs, and not only was it no longer in Springfield, it no longer existed.” The company shut down in 2002 and reopened in 2010, but it never returned to Springfield. The post-NAFTA job losses felt fatal to an economy centered on manufacturing. In 2000, 30% of the county’s gross domestic product, or GDP, came from manufacturing. In 2014, only 17% did. Now, only two manufacturers — Navistar and Honda — break Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Springfield Assistant Mayor Joyce Chilton, here with her husband Paul, a retired 30-year employee of Navistar, says the stakes of this election are just as clear as in 2008 and 2012.
About this series
To report this series, the USA TODAY Network identified eight counties around the country that represent key voting groups in the November election, from blue-collar and college-educated voters to rural voters and Latinos. Journalists spent time with voters, political observers and experts in these eight counties — blue, red and purple — talking about the presidential candidates, the issues and the importance of this year’s election.
the top 10 private employers in Clark County, a list historically dominated by manufacturing. The county’s top private employers are now the local health care system, Community Mercy Health Partners, and a call center for insurance company Assurant Specialty Property, according to the chamber of commerce. For McDorman, the chamber president, the past 15 years have been the aftermath of job losses that peaked at the turn of the century. “We really hit rock bottom in 1999 or 2000,” he said. But the aftershocks continued, even as Springfield began to chart a path forward. The loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs gut-punched the area’s middle class. In 2001, only one in five of the county’s population earned lower-tier incomes. By 2014, a third of the population did, according to a Pew report this year. Median household income fell more than a quarter in 15 years, to $53,957 in 2014, according to a Pew analysis of U.S. Census data. Doane, the title company owner, said he can’t bring himself to vote for Trump but understands why the candidate’s message might resonate with some voters. “There’s a lot of unhappy peo-

ple, and they’re just really unhappy with the system. And I think they think Trump is an answer,” he said. Springfield’s economy is changing, and its emerging future bears little resemblance to Trump’s statements about a revival of manufacturing. Speedway, the convenience store chain, is expanding its headquarters in Clark County, adding 450 jobs. EF Hutton, a financial services provider, opened its doors in late September and plans to hire more than 400. McDorman said a medical supply company is planning to relocate to downtown Springfield with 300-plus jobs. Even manufacturing isn’t disappearing entirely. Koehler said his business is expanding and taking back work from China. “Our heart and blood is manufacturing, but with people like EF Hutton coming to town, bringing white collar jobs, professional jobs, that’s important,” said Koehler, the state representative. “We’ve sort of diversified over the years.” Manufacturing is still a thing. It’s just not the only thing. Lynda Smith, the Republican Party chairwoman for Clark County, says “a lot” of Democrats are asking about switching to Trump. She doesn’t ask questions. Koehler, who is running for reelection, said he studied election results from March and identified 3,000 voters in the county who formerly voted Democrat but voted Republican in the primary. Those are prime targets for his campaign, regardless whether they voted for Trump or against him by backing other Republicans such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich. “I’m going to assume they’re voting for Trump because I can’t

clearer in the few states that provide voter registration data specifically for Hispanics. In Florida, the number of Hispanics registered to vote has increased 14.6% during the 2016 election cycle, nearly identical to a 14.4% increase before the 2012 election. The findings show that Hispanics will play a larger role in the 2016 election, as the country’s largest minority group continues increasing its share of the U.S. electorate, which has grown from 10% in 2012 to 12% now. The data make clear, however, that Hispanic advocacy groups, the Democratic Party and party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton have yet to take advantage of Trump’s disparaging remarks and tough immigration enforcement views. Last year, in announcing his presidential run, Trump said of some Mexicans coming into the U.S.: “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” He also has called
for construction of a wall along the border paid for by Mexico and questioned the qualifications of a U.S.-born federal judge because he was “Mexican.” Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, a Washington-based group that advocates for immigrants’ rights, blames both political parties for not doing enough to court Hispanics. “Republicans are ignoring this growing electorate,” Noorani said. “And these numbers show that Democrats are leaving a lot of votes on the table too.” Clinton’s campaign has used a variety of strategies to court Hispanics. The campaign has run 40 TV ads and 24 radio ads, and pushed its message through newspapers and social media in Spanish and English targeting Hispanics. The campaign created phone banks so female Hispanic supporters call Hispanic women in the community. And the campaign has programs focused on Hispanic small businesses, Hispanic religious leaders and is even using undocumented immigrants

believe that for the first time they were going to vote for John Kasich for president,” Koehler said. Union workers, who generally vote overwhelmingly Democrat, remain a political force in Clark County. Jason Barlow, president of the United Auto Workers Local 402, which represents local workers at Navistar, said internal polling has shown some GOP union members are considering Clinton, while some Democratic members are considering Trump. On the whole, he said, the 1,200member union is likely to break down along party lines as it has in the past. And the 4,300 union retirees might lean more toward Trump. “This election here, it’s been an anomaly,” he said. “Our membership has had … interesting debates, let’s just say that.” The shift in Clark County’s economy means the blue-collar union bloc may not matter as much as it once did. The largest voting bloc in the county, according to GOP chairwoman Smith, is undecided. It’s not hard to find them in Springfield. Anne Robinette, 50, is a registered Republican. But she’s undecided. “Hillary has too much baggage following her, and Donald Trump is too much of a reality TV show,” said Robinette, a collections manager. “He makes good points but then he opens his mouth again and all those good points go out the window.” Also important in Springfield is the African-American community, which makes up about 18% of the population. Their numbers may be relatively small, but they are votes Clinton can count on. Just ask the Chiltons, sitting on their porch on Springfield’s south side recently. Springfield Assistant Mayor Joyce Chilton
and her husband Paul, a retired 30-year Navistar employee, recount how well African Americans in Springfield turned out for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. She recalls Trump’s central line in his attempts to attract African-American support: “What do you have to lose?” “What do we have to lose?” she said. “One word: Everything.” Under a baking sun on a busy Springfield street corner, the Jarrell brothers hold signs. One calls for Obama to end the “VA coverup,” referring to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The other reads, “Trump support our vets,” presumably missing a comma after “Trump.” The brothers, both in their 60s, lost their jobs at a kitchen equipment manufacturer in February. They think Trump is the one who can help Steve, the younger brother, get veterans benefits for an injury from Army basic training decades ago. Social Security isn’t covering all their bills. The brothers look like Trump supporters. But neither plans to vote for Trump. They’re lifelong Democrats, although they say that hasn’t done anything to help Steve. Maybe the loudest presidential candidate can draw attention to their plight. “Understand,” Richard Jarrell said, “you’ve got to play both sides of the fence sometimes.”
to lobby for Clinton’s policies to protect them from deportation. Hispanic advocacy groups, such as the National Council of La Raza, have held their traditional voter registration drives. Spanishlanguage media organizations, such as Univision, have also led voter registration efforts. Even taco trucks have become a place to register after a Trump surrogate warned about unfettered immigration leading to a flood of taco trucks on every street corner. Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokeswoman for Clinton’s campaign, said even the slightest gains in Hispanic registrations can help decide the race in swing states like North Carolina. “That is why we’re doing everything we can to register and turnout Latino voters,” she said. “We’ve invested in the Latino community since day one of this campaign, and will continue to do so until Election Day.” The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Mark Hugo Lopez, director of Hispanic research at the Pew Research Center, analyzed USA TODAY’s findings and described them as a “good barometer we should be using” for measuring Hispanic voter registrations given the limited data available. He said some Hispanics are definitely registering specifically to oppose
Trump, but the overall numbers show that Hispanic voting numbers would have risen with or without Trump as the Republican nominee. “It looks like this year is no different in terms of the growth of the number of Hispanic registered voters,” he said. uThe 50 counties analyzed represent the fastest-growing portions of those states and are driving most of the voter registration increases. Voter rolls in the most heavily Hispanic counties grew faster than the state average in 9 out of 10 states, both in 2016 and 2012. uThe voter registration increases in the most heavily Hispanic counties drove Democratic gains in most of the states, even if the states overall are trending Republican. In Iowa, Republicans have added 14,000 more registered voters than Democrats leading up to the election. But in the five counties examined, Democrats outgained Republicans 2-to-1. uIn some cases, the state would have seen a decline in total voters from 2012 to 2016 if not for the heavily-Hispanic counties. In Wisconsin, the state would have lost 3,606 voters, if not for the increases in Milwaukee, Dane, Racine, Kenosha and Brown counties.

That’s the word from German newspaper “Sueddeutsche Zeitung,” which says no final determination has been made. The bank has been reeling since word came last month that the U.S. Department of Justice was seeking a $14 billion fine to settle its investigation of the bank’s selling of mortgagebacked securities. Deutsche Bank is fighting the fine. GERMANY: TESLA ‘AUTOPILOT’ CARS NOT THAT AUTOMATIC Germany wants Tesla to stop using the term “autopilot” in ads for its electric cars. A spokeswoman told Reuters that the Federal Motor Transport Authority had made the request in a letter to the electric car manufacturer. It was originally reported by the German newspaper “Bild am Sonntag.” On Friday, the authority wrote to Tesla owners reminding them their cars could not be operated without their constant attention. ‘BAYWATCH' ACTRESS SENDS GIFT TO JULIAN ASSANGE Former “Baywatch” actress Pamela Anderson is worried about the health of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for more than four years rather than returning to Sweden to face questioning in a rape investigation.

MORE AMERICANS ARE MOONLIGHTING Workers cobbling together part-time jobs as part of ‘gig’ economy, data show
JUGGLING JOBS The number of multiple job holders in the USA has increased even as job growth overall has slowed. (in millions)

@Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY
Many Americans who struggled to find a job several years ago are now juggling two or three. The number of multiple job holders hit an eight-year high in September as several forces reshape the labor market. Many workers are seeking extra income as wages are inching up. Job openings are near record levels. And the burgeoning gig economy is putting a premium on freelance work and short-term projects. Michael Alfaro, 49, of Coloma, Mich., toils full time as an executive customer service representative for an appliance manufacturer. And on most evenings and some weekends, he works the late shift in the electronics department of a local department store. Alfaro decided to take the gig last November to whittle down about $37,000 in debt, including credit cards and student and personal loans. But he also was spurred by the struggles of area retailers and other businesses to find employees. “It encouraged me,” he says. The ranks of multiple job holders jumped by 300,000 last month to 7.8 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The moonlighters represent 5.2% of all those employed, up from 4.9% in September 2015. Monthly data can be volatile, but the totals through the first nine months of 2016 have averaged 7.5 million, nearly 300,000 higher than the year-ago figure. “It’s symptomatic of a tight labor market and the fact that you

have so many job openings,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It means people who want to work are able to find jobs.” Job openings neared an alltime high of 5.8 million in July before dropping to a still-healthy 5.4 million in August. Meanwhile, the near-normal 5% unemployment rate signifies the pool of available workers is limited. That’s a big reason total average monthly payroll growth has slowed to 178,000 this year from 229,000 in 2015. As a result, many frustrated
employers are being more flexible and turning openings for fulltime positions into multiple parttime slots. “We are seeing an uptick in available part-time positions in general, likely due to the need to get additional staff on board, even if (job candidates) can’t make a full-time commitment,” says Amy Glaser, senior vice president of Adecco Staffing. The crunch, she says, is especially acute for the holiday season. Employers are raising wages for part-time and seasonal positions “due to the need to secure

top talent quickly,” she says. Alfaro, a technology buff, says he doesn’t mind working as many as 68 hours a week, noting his part-time sales associate gig is starkly different from his desk job. “I get to interact with people, I get to walk around,” he says. “It’s kind of nice.” The number of part-time workers who prefer that schedule hit a record high of 20.7 million last month, according to government data. That trend is largely a product of the “gig economy,” in which more workers are freelancing and doing contract work, often cobbling together part-time jobs. A report released last week by McKinsey Global Institute estimates these independent workers make up 20% to 30% of the working age population. At the same time, some Americans are working multiple parttime gigs because they have no choice. Nearly 6 million such workers would prefer full-time jobs — a substantial decline from the 9 million in the recession and its aftermath, but still well above the prerecession level of about 4 million. In recent years, many employers have been bringing on workers or contractors for part-time or temporary projects to cut costs. Others have shied away from hiring full-time workers to sidestep requirements to provide health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act. And some full-time workers are taking on part-time gigs because their weekly income has fallen, says Tom Gimbel, CEO of LaSalle network, a Chicago staffing firm.
8 companies that are about to lose gobs of money Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY
Investors aren’t expecting to see any profit growth during the just-kicked-off earnings season. Some companies, though, might deliver something even worse than no growth: whopping losses. There are eight companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, including integrated energy explorers ConocoPhillips and Hess as well as tax-preparation firm H&R Block that are expected to have lost $100 million or more during the third quarter, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. These are the largest losses expected from any companies in the benchmark index. Adjusted earnings forecasts, which exclude one-time non-operating gains and losses that analysts don’t put into their estimates,
were used. Investors are braced for a pretty disappointing earnings season. Adjusted earnings are expected to be down roughly 1% from the same period a year ago for the S&P 500, says S&P Global. That would make it the fifth-straight quarter of falling profit. The ongoing profit recession has been a challenge for investors since it makes stocks more expensive relative to profit. Just this month, Savita Sabramanian, equity strategist at Bank of America, warned stocks on average are trading for “extreme” valuations not seen in 15 years and approaching levels prior to the tech-stock bubble in the early 2000s. There’s no question where the profit pain is coming from: energy. Companies in the energy sector are expected to post 69% lower profit during the third quarter, S&P Global says. Seven of the eight companies expected
BIGGEST EXPECTED Q3 LOSSES S&P 500 companies that analysts forecast will post the largest losses during the quarter: Expected Q3 2016 loss ($ (per Company million) share) ConocoPhillips -$750.2 -$0.61 Hess -$381.8 -$1.22 Anadarko -$318.7 -$0.57 Petroleum Baker Hughes -$188.2 -$0.44 EOG Resources -$175.6 -$0.32 Marathon Oil -$150.6 -$0.18 H&R Block -$146.7 -$0.67 National Oilwell -$105.9 -$0.28 Varco SOURCE S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE; USA TODAY
to lose $100 million or more during the quarter are in the energy sector. These “are big losses, but not as big as last quarter,” says Blake Fernandez, energy analyst
at Scotia Howard Weil. Energy profits will be crimped as oil prices remained stubbornly low during the third quarter. The average daily closing price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate oil was $44.94 during the third quarter, down 3.5% from the average daily closing price in the third quarter of 2015. Massive losses from giant energy companies explain this outsized profit implosion. There’s no better example than ConocoPhillips, which is expected to lose an adjusted 61 cents a share in the third quarter, which translates into a $750.2 million loss. That loss is even more painful as it’s even deeper than the 38 cents a share loss in the same period last year. ConocoPhillips is expected to be profitable again in 2017. “Its hard to turn a big ship,” Fernandez says. If oil prices can rise to the mid $50s or early $60s a barrel, that would help the industry regain
profits, he says. Hess, a New Yorkbased energy company, is expected to post the next largest loss to the tune of $381.8 million suffering from the same industry forces. Outside the energy sector, H&R Block is expected to post a loss of $147 million during the period. As a tax preparer, H&R Block makes all its annual profit in the quarter ended in April. Yet its expected loss in the third quarter of 2016 of 67 cents a share is deeper than the loss of 51 cents a share it lost in the same period a year ago. These are just estimates at this point. Investors will hope actual results come in better than feared, says Michael Farr, CEO of investment company Farr, Miller & Washington. “We think earnings season will be more of the same with companies beating estimates that have been talked down over the last quarter.”

Billy Bob Thornton suits up for battle in ‘Goliath’

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “I’m raffling off one of these blunts that I hand-rolled, for charity,” Snoop Dogg told the crowd at Seth Rogen’s Halloween-themed Hilarity for Charity Variety Show Saturday night in Hollywood. Snoop, who performed at the fundraiser and also served as his own auctioneer, started the bidding at $100. After hearing bids from “Mary Poppins” and “the karate man in orange,” he ultimately sold his item for $1,000 to a woman dressed as a witch. IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Playing a pie-eyed attorney on Amazon’s Goliath was a real bear for Billy Bob Thornton, who last stalked the small screen as nefarious hitman Lorne Malvo on FX’s Fargo in 2014. “This was harder, in some ways, because it was more physically and emotionally draining,” Thornton says. “In Fargo, I just sauntered in, got rid of somebody and snuck back in the woods.” Goliath, on the other hand, is all Thornton all the time. The eight-episode legal drama, now available on Amazon Prime, stars the grizzled actor as Billy McBride, a once-hotshot lawyer who’s now a whiskey-swilling loafer slumming it in Venice, Calif. He reluctantly gets back in the saddle when a fast-talking stranger (Nina Arianda) brings him a case against a shady defense contractor, which just so happens to be represented by the ruthless firm where his former partner (William Hurt) and exwife (Maria Bello) hold court. David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, L.A. Law) created the show with longtime writing partner Jonathan Shapiro, whose joint credits include The Practice and Boston Legal. After a string of ratings

A new case sends Billy on a collision course with his nemesis and former partner, Donald Cooperman (William Hurt, right). duds including Harry’s Law, Monday Mornings and Robin Williams’ The Crazy Ones, Kelley wanted to move away from serialized TV and tell a self-contained story like Goliath, which tracks a single trial over the course of its first season. “I loved working on broadcast television, but I really enjoy the freedom of storytelling that this offered,” Kelley says. “We were able to go a little bit deeper and be a little more nuanced.” In writing Goliath, “we were looking to show how the machinery of the legal system plays out on litigants. This is first and foremost a character piece.” Although Thornton had not
seen any of Kelley’s work (“I watch Turner Classic Movies and sports,” he quips), he had been hankering for a character like Billy ever since 2014’s The Judge, in which he costarred with Robert Downey Jr. as a withering prosecutor. “I really responded to the whole idea of the little guy against the corporation,” Thornton says. “I’ve never really considered myself much a part of Hollywood, and I’ve fought the system before. I’ve had my ups and downs over the years, personally and professionally, so it felt natural to have a character who felt that way.”
Billy’s attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter (Diana Hopper) give the character a sentimental edge, while his duplicitous relationship with Hurt’s cutthroat Donald Cooperman is Goliath’s juicy center. “There’s a profound contempt that these two have for each other, but the nucleus was a longstanding love,” Kelley says. Billy and Donald were “at one time best of friends; they founded this law firm together. It’s only that deep kind of friendship that can give rise to such a malignant hatred that takes hold over the course of this trial.” Kelley believes that complex dynamics such as theirs are paramount to courtroom dramas, which have seen mixed ratings success this fall with CBS’ steady Bull and ABC’s floundering Conviction and Notorious. But as a former lawyer and self-confessed genre “addict,” he feels encouraged by the current crop. “Law remains, as a storytelling franchise, a great device to find character, because what you’re exploring is our societal values and human ethics,” Kelley says. “I’m still very upbeat about legal shows. I don’t think the franchise is going away.”

The Accountant proves one thing about Ben Affleck: He’s a hot asset in Hollywood. Affleck star-powered his action role as a genius bookkeeper with a particular set of killing skills to $24.7 million and No. 1 at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates. Director Gavin O’Connor’s moderately budgeted film ($44 million) didn’t have gaudy opening numbers, but it was a clear win. “The marketing for this movie showed it to be a smart action movie with Ben Affleck,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “That combination worked for audiences this weekend.” The Accountant did take some deductions for negative reviews; just 51% of critics liked it on the aggregate site RottenTomatoes .com. But audiences gave it an A grade at CinemaScore. “And it’s

Ben Affleck can use his Sharpie to scribble down this number for The Accountant’s opening weekend: $24.7 million. the audience paying the bills,” Dergarabedian says. Kevin Hart’s live comedy concert film Kevin Hart: What Now? made $11.98 million for the weekend and finished second. “It doesn’t matter what the rank, Kevin Hart is a profit machine,” Dergarabedian says. “Hart is the rare movie star working today that can open a scripted comedy and fill a theater with stand-up comedy.” The opening weekend beat
2013 predecessor Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain, which opened with $10 million and went on to make $32 million. What Now? has already covered its sparse production budget of $10 million. Thriller The Girl on the Train, starring Emily Blunt in the title role, took third with $11.97 million ($46.6 million total in two weeks). Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children landed in fourth with $8.9 million in its third weekend
($65.8 million total). Mark Wahlberg’s disaster drama Deepwater Horizon rounded out the top five with $6.4 million ($49.3 million in three weeks). Max Steel, the weekend’s other major release, disappeared with $2.2 million. The toy-based sci-fi adventure, featuring a teen named Max and his alien companion Steel, couldn’t crack the top 10, landing at No. 11. “Minimum effort, maximum misfire,” says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “They didn’t even try to promote this film — I’m surprised they even released it.” Without early screenings for critics, Max Steel had a 0% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes (based on eight reviews) and a B from audiences at CinemaScore. The Birth of a Nation dropped a startling 61% in its second weekend, landing in 10th with $2.7 million ($12.2 million total). Bock says the poor performance will hurt the chances of the Oscar hopeful, written/directed by and starring Nate Parker. “That’s a horror-show box office drop,” Bock says. “This movie isn’t going anywhere.” Final numbers are out Monday.

Dear Annie: I’ve been a certified nurse’s aide for about eight months. I’ve been working at my newest job, at a nursing home, for six months. I work with two veteran aides in my unit. Though I love my job and caring for the residents, lately I’m feeling like the gopher in the unit. I am always answering the call bells, getting residents who need to be up for breakfast out of bed and doing hall trays and feeding the residents who can’t feed themselves at breakfast. I end up doing hall patrol every day at breakfast, and I’m getting tired of it. I’m happy to help them with tasks, but whenever I ask for help, I get dirty looks and eye rolls. Is it me? Am I asking them at the wrong time when it comes to

asking for help? I don’t know how to address this with the other aides and the supervisor. — The Gopher Nurse’s Aide Dear Gopher: There’s being a team player, and then there’s being played by the team. Maybe these veteran nurses are picking on you, the new kid on the block, because they underwent a similar stripes-earning process. Be clear about what you’re willing and
‘Jane’ back with a dark new twist How do you continue a comedy based on a high-concept, one-note joke? The pleasant comedy “Jane the Virgin” (8 p.m., CW, TV-PG) seemed audacious when it arrived two autumns ago with a tale of a modest woman inadvertently subject to artificial insemination. On the other hand, the action on “Jane” frequently makes nods to the florid, over-the-top storytelling of the telenovela genre, where anything can happen and no coincidence seems too outlandish. And I can think of at least one other tale that began with an immaculate conception that ran for quite a few chapters. “Jane” enters its third season with a dark new twist as our heroine receives news that Michael has been shot. O “The Odd Couple” (8:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) also enters its third season. Frankly, those are words I never thought I’d see, never mind write. Felix (Thomas Lennon) freaks out when he discovers that Emily might linger in London rather than return to him. Oscar (Matthew Perry) feels torn between a torrid night with Charlotte and the emotional needs of his friend. So much about this reboot seems wrong. Way back in the pre-Stonewall 1960s when “Odd” was a hit on Broadway, the “fussy” and “fastidious” nature of a character like Felix was clearly code for a lifestyle that dare not speak its name. Why Felix has to go through the motions all these decades later seems absurd. But it is the transformation of the Oscar character from a slob to a “player” that makes this “Odd Couple” 3.0 all the more unbelievable. It is hard to see Matthew Perry in the Jack Klugman mode. But the real question is why this series was ever remade at all. O When reports of sexual molestation by a local school principal arise, Chinese activists question an indifferent bureaucracy in the “P.O.V.” documentary “Hooligan Sparrow” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-MA, check local listings). Rather than heed their concerns, government officials threaten protesters, including the makers of this film, with prison. Tonight’s other highlights O The battles continue on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TVPG). O A self-promoting blowhard exploits inner city fears on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). O A sound engineer (John Travolta) fears he may have witnessed a murder in Brian DePalma’s 1981 paranoid thriller “Blow Out” (7 p.m., This TV).

not willing to do. When you really need help and no one is offering, be direct. It’s not as if you’re asking a personal favor. It’s work, and you’re all trying to get the same job done. Dear Annie: A person wrote to you about dealing with her children’s disputes among one another. I am one of those children. My brother and I have not spoken to each other for months. I struggle daily with trying to repair this relationship, but honestly, so much has been done and said that I see no reason to repair it — except for my parents’ sake, of course. I would like to hear from others on how they have dealt with sibling disputes. What is the benefit of putting yourself out there in a relationship that has caused such
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS
For Monday, Oct. 17: This year you have a lot going on, and you possess a strong drive to achieve your goals. If you are single, someone you see every day could become quite desirable. If you are attached, you could find your home life to be somewhat volatile. 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) ++++ Others appreciate your ability to understand, integrate and come up with winning ideas. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ Listen to a friend who can be somewhat flaky. You might have a difficult time embracing what is said. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ You often make snap judgments. Sit on what you hear for now. Tonight: Opt for quiet.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Tension builds as you realize how important your actions are to others, be it at work or in some other area of your life. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.
pain in the past, even if it is family? — Estranged Dear Estranged: Loving your family doesn’t mean always liking them. In fact, sometimes it means just finding a way not to loathe them. I urge you not to give up on your relationship with your brother. First forgive him, and then accept him. Part of that acceptance means knowing where to draw boundaries so that you don’t get hurt again and again because you’re too vulnerable. You and your brother might never be the close, bestfriend type of siblings, but you can still be part of each other’s life. If you’re grounded in realistic expectations, no one can let you down. — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Malik Newman soaking up KU basketball experience By Matt Tait
H
o
e’s still more than 12 months away from actually being able to experience the rivalries for himself, but Kansas transfer Malik Newman recently indicated that he had a pretty good idea of just how competitive Big 12 basketball can be. The reason? The intensity Newman has tasted so far during summer pick-up games and earlyseason practices after transferring to KU from Mississippi State following his freshman season has made it abundantly clear.

“It’s just like the Kansas-OU game every time we hit the court,” said Newman, referencing last season’s triple-overtime thriller won by Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. “From the summer, when I first started playing, it’s a battle every time we hit the court. But once we leave the court, it’s a brotherhood.” Fellow-newcomer, freshman Josh Jackson, had similar feedback about just how impressed he had been thus far. “We spend all day in practice playing against each other and sometimes we all forget that we’re on the same team,” Jackson marveled. “When we remember that, it gets kind of scary. I’m like, ‘Man, these guys are really, really good and we’re all gonna be playing together.’” For now, the intense practice

Chiefs rout Raiders, 26-10 By Josh Dubow AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NOSE TACKLE DONTARI POE, RIGHT, celebrates after catching a touchdown pass with running back Jamaal Charles during the second half of an NFL football game against the Oakland Raiders Sunday in Oakland, Calif.
Oakland, Calif. (Ap) — With two weeks to stew over a lopsided loss, the Kansas City Chiefs went back to basics and put together a balanced offense that allowed the running game to shine. Spencer Ware ran for a careerhigh 131 yards and a touchdown, Alex Smith picked apart Oakland’s struggling defense and the Kansas City Chiefs shut out Derek Carr and the Raiders in the second half of a 26-10 victory Sunday. “That’s the game we play,” said defensive lineman Dontari Poe, who got into the act on offense with a TD run of his own. “You come out sometimes and it doesn’t go your way, but you got to make sure it goes your way the next time.

atching Joel Embiid finding his way in the NBA is not recommended viewing for those with weak hearts. Embiid’s amazing footwork will send the viewer’s heart racing one minute, and a minute later his frightening foot history will make you hold your breath, anticipate the worst and hope for the best. Highlights from Embiid’s exhibition performance for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Detroit Pistons put the emotions on a highspeed rinse cycle. Even after two years away from the game and two serious foot surgeries later, Embiid is Embiid proving too quick, too smooth, too completely under control for opposing centers to keep in front of them. The 7-foot-2 center from Cameroon whose lone season playing for Kansas was, to say the least, a memorable one, played an exhibition-season high 20 minutes Saturday against the Pistons and scored 15 points. He also took breaths away for all the wrong reasons. Again displaying remarkable quickness, Embiid blocked a shot and on his way down, landed on the basket stanchion and fell to the ground. Sitting, he grabbed his right foot and began moving it in every direction. Uh-oh. Thankfully, it was a false alarm, but also a reminder that trying to keep anxiety at bay watching the artful giant play basketball has its challenges. A back injury prematurely ended Embiid’s lone college season and he suffered a stress fracture of the right foot before the 2014 draft. Otherwise, he would have been chosen first in the draft, instead of third, two picks after college teammate Andrew Wiggins. “He’s comical how good he is, or how good he was, and hopefully if he stays healthy this year, you’ll see it in the NBA,” Kansas coach Bill Self said recently of Embiid. If he can stay healthy and withstand starter’s minutes, he could beat Wiggins to becoming the first Kansas > EMBIID, 3C

Harvick wins at Kansas to reach next Chase round AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST
AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer
Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — No matter what kind of misfortune befalls Kevin Harvick in the early rounds of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, his team always seems to get things together when it matters. The No. 4 crew did it again Sunday. One week after a mechanical issue doomed him to a lousy finish at Charlotte, and put his hopes of advancing to the round of eight in jeopardy, Harvick roared to the front on the final restart to win at Kansas Speedway and take all of the pressure off next week’s elimination race at Talladega. “These races are hard to win and these guys are so good at the details,” said Harvick, the 2014 champion, “and when you put their backs against the wall they’re even better. I’m so proud of them.” Harvick was among the fastest in the final qualifying session, and hung around the front all day while other Chase contenders faltered. He was still at the front when Regan Smith brought out the final caution, and was able to keep Carl Edwards at bay over the final 30 laps. “I was pretty sure we were in control of the race,” said Edwards, a Missouri native who has yet to win at what he considers his home track. “As much

Napa, Calif. (Ap) — Brendan Steele figured out how to finish at Silverado and won the Safeway Open for his first PGA Tour victory in more than five years. One year after losing a 54-hole lead with a 40 on the back nine, Steele rallied from a four-shot deficit on a rain-soaked course and closed with three straight birdies for a 7-under 65, giving him a oneshot victory over a faltering Patton Kizzire. It was a tough ending for Kizzire, who had a Steele one-shot lead going into the final round and looked like a winner when he stuffed his tee shot into 2 feet for birdie on the 11th hole for a two-shot lead. He struggled to hit fairways, and still managed to drop only one shot on the 12th. He just couldn’t keep Steele from gaining ground. Steele holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th to tie for the lead, though Kizzire still had three scoring holes remaining — two par 5s and a wedge into a par 4. Kizzire drove left into the base of trees on the par-5 16th and had to chip out sideways, eventually making a 15-foot par save

City golfers ready to compete at state tournaments By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com
Lawrence High girls golf coach Jennifer Schmitt remembers the day sophomores Beatrice Lopez and Emily Johnson signed up for the golf team. A year later and both of them qualified for the Class 6A state golf tournament. The Lions, along with four golfers from Free State, will start at 8:30 a.m. today at the Country Club of Leawood. “It’s kind of unreal to think just a year and two months ago,” Schmitt recalled, “they had walked into a conference room off of the front LHS office thinking, ‘Oh, I might join golf. That sounds cool.’” Lopez and Johnson earned their spots at state as individual qualifiers. Lopez took 14th at regionals with a 42-over-par 114. Johnson was the fifth and final individual qualifier in 21st place, carding a 142. Johnson, who only

Hoopingarner
competed in three varsity tournaments, was disappointed with her score, but was in disbelief when Schmitt delivered the news that she was headed to the state tournament — edging another golfer by one stroke. “Golf is tough because, in (Johnson’s) case, one day she’ll hit a 105 and another she won’t,” Schmitt said. “Throughout it all, her persistence has paid
off. Her willingness to stick through the tough rounds to allow herself a good round is what I’m most impressed about.” Johnson will tee off at hole No. 10 at 8:30 a.m. and Lopez will begin at 9:40 a.m. Lopez placed 91st at the state tournament last year, shooting a 135. But instead of spending Sunday focused on the upcoming tournament,
Schmitt texted Lopez and Johnson to enjoy the nice weather, play frisbee golf and stop thinking about state. “I just want them to do well and have fun,” Schmitt said. “It’s state and they are there. I want them to have a moment that they will remember. Their scores are, of course, important, but the memories of the state tournament, especially as
a sophomore, are what is really important in the scheme of things.” Free State’s girls golf team only had two varsity golfers last year. Fast forward 12 months and the Firebirds are sending their entire squad to state. The Firebirds took third place at regionals, earning the third and final spot among team qualifiers. Senior Macie Reeb will be the first member of the Firebirds to tee off at 9 a.m. at hole No. 10. Reeb and senior Claire Yackley are first-year varsity golfers but played well in their first postseason tournament. Yackley took 16th at regionals with a 116 and Reeb was 17th with a 118. “Their work at the beginning of the season proved to be beneficial once we started tournament play,” FSHS coach Layne Meyer said. “They performed like veterans right from the start.” Free State senior Anne Goebel and junior Tori Hoopingarner return
from last year’s state tournament. Goebel, a four-time state qualifier, tied for 68th at last year with a 113. Hoopingarner was 89th at state last year, firing a 127. “I’m happy for her because she’s improved every year,” Meyer said of Goebel. “I think more now than ever, her real ability is showing. She’s been really talented since she was a freshman.” Meyer said the Firebirds had their last practice Saturday and spent the last few weeks working on their short games.
Seabury freshman qualifies in 3-2-1A Bishop Seabury freshman Lindsey Hedges won a regional title last week and earned a spot at the Class 3-2-1A state tournament in Garden City. Hedges will tee off from hole No. 1 at 10:10 a.m. today at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. She carded an 88 at regionals to beat out 34 other golfers.
David Beaty understands frustration with Kansas’ offense By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
Between the Kansas football program losing 17 of its 18 games since he took over and the Jayhawks’ often defective offense under his watch as coordinator and quarterbacks coach during his second season in Lawrence, David Beaty can’t help but discern the swelling groans from within KU’s fan base. Shortly after his team only scored one touchdown to Baylor’s seven Saturday in Waco, Texas, Beaty addressed numerous questions regarding the ineptitude of the Kansas passing game in particular. In his second start of the season, sophomore quarterback Ryan
Embiid CONTINUED FROM 1C
player coached by Self to become an NBA All-Star, despite Wiggins having a two-year head start. In some ways a blend of Hakeem Olajuwon and Kareem AbdulJabbar, Sam Bowie and Bill Walton, the odds are against Embiid approaching the accomplishments of sturdy, gifted centers Hakeem and Kareem, but at times Embiid looks like the best basketball prospect to come along since LeBron James.
Willis never achieved any rhythm or confidence against the Bears’ first-rate pass defense. Willis completed 10 of his 19 throws for just 89 yards — with three interceptions — prior to watching the final quarterplus of the 49-7 blowout from the bench. Before clarifyBeaty ing he, as the coach, deserved blame for the lousy numbers, Beaty said Willis often failed to survey the field thoroughly at BU. “The majority of the mistakes we’ve made from a quarterback
Newman CONTINUED FROM 1C
showdowns are the best Newman can hope for out of his Kansas career, which will not officially start until the 2017-18 season after he sits out his transfer year as required by the NCAA. Newman will be allowed to practice this season and he plans to make the most out of every minute so he can be ready for his true debut next fall. Asked which Jayhawks
standpoint to this point have been the inability to read, and locking on and just thinking, ‘Hey, I’ve got this.’ When you do that, you usually pay a price,” Beaty said. “So there’s really no steps you can skip at that quarterback position.” With that topic as a jumping off point, the second-year KU head coach then alluded to the heat he feels when the offense flatlines. “But, hey, at the end of the day, I’m coaching those guys and that’s my fault. I’ve got to get better at that. There’s nobody else to blame but me,” Beaty said. “And, hey, listen, I would be upset at me, too. I’m upset at me, because I haven’t gotten it fixed and we’ve got to get
better at it.” Willis, who started eight games as a true freshman, rotated in as a backup to junior Montell Cozart during the first four games of the season before Beaty named him KU’s starter leading up to a home game against TCU. Though Willis completed 68.9 percent of his throws for 348 yards versus the Horned Frogs, he also gave away three interceptions in a 24-23 loss. His laboring afternoon at Baylor gave Willis six interceptions in a two-game stretch. At the midway point of the season, the QB has three touchdown passes and seven picks. He has completed 61.5 percent of his throws for 811 yards on 117 attempts.
‘‘

he had enjoyed battling with the most so far in practice, Newman could not pinpoint any one individual. “I mean, just everybody,” he said. “There’s no one person or two people in particular. Just competing each and every day on both ends of the floor to try to help
those guys get better and for those guys to try to help me get better.” Newman, who listed Late Night as his favorite part of the Kansas experience to date, said point guards Devonte’ Graham — his host on his recruiting visit — and Frank Mason had done the most for him in terms of helping
In four games as KU’s starter, which included frequent possessions on the bench as Willis subbed in, Cozart completed 62.6 percent of his passes for six touchdowns (five in the first two games of the season, versus Rhode Island and Ohio) and four interceptions. Cozart, who hasn’t played in the past two games, has thrown for 581 yards on 91 passes. Beaty showed no indications of bailing on Willis at QB following the Baylor loss. The coach just hoped the experience would be another for his second-year signal-caller to learn from some difficult lessons. “One of the things young quarterbacks go through, and really all quarterbacks, in college
with the current adjustment and preparing for the future. “They do a good job of showing me the way,” Newman said. “Showing me how the guards play in the system, the things that they have to do, the terms and things like that. They make my job a lot easier as far as learning the system and things like that.” It’s that closeness and all-for-one mentality that inspired Newman to pick Kansas in the first place. And he’s happy to report that it has been even better than he hoped and expected.
football you have to read, OK. And reading doesn’t mean picking (a receiver), OK. If it was picking, a lot of us could play quarterback,” Beaty said. “You don’t get to pick a route. You don’t get to do that. You have to read, because any defense that’s worth their salt in this country in Division I football are not gonna show you what they’re doing on the presnap. They’re going to either move and disguise and do all the things they can to try to confuse you as quarterback. So it’s imperative you don’t lock in on guys.” KU (1-5 overall, 0-3 Big 12) plays host to Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1) at 11 a.m. Saturday, at Memorial Stadium for homecoming.
“On my visit, all of them showed me love,” Newman said. “But (Graham) kept in touch with me and just expressed the feeling of what it was like to play at Kansas, and told me some good things I needed to hear that persuaded me to come.”

NLCS GAME 2
NFL ROUNDUP
Cubs lose to Dodgers
Texans beat Colts in OT
The Associated Press
Dodgers 1, Cubs 0 Chicago (ap) — So much for October closer. With his Dodgers desperate for a win, Clayton Kershaw delivered the most dominant start of his checkered playoff career. The ace left-hander pitched seven sparkling innings, Adrian Gonzalez homered and Los Angeles beat the Chicago Cubs 1-0 Sunday night to tie the NL Championship Series at a game apiece. Kershaw retired his first 14 batters and allowed just two hits in first outing since he pitched three times in the NL Division Series, including a two-out save in Game 5 on Thursday night in Washington. The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner struck out six and walked one while throwing just 84 pitches in a brisk outing that could help when he returns later in the NLCS. “It was one of those games where one pitch could have been the deciding factor,” Kershaw said. “So, really just kind of couldn’t look up for a minute for air and just kind of kept going through it and fortunate to get through it tonight.” The Dodgers needed a clutch pitching performance after their heartbreaking 8-4 loss in the series opener. And Kershaw responded with a postseason gem that continued his reputation repair after a handful of playoff duds over the years. He was just 3-6 with a 4.79 ERA in 16 career postseason games coming into the series. “I feel like every start he has the chance to be great,” catcher Yasmani Grandal said. “It’s just unbelievable to see him pitch, it’s unbelievable to see him compete.” Kenley Jansen struck out four in two perfect innings for his third save of the playoffs. Game 3 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Cubs righthander Jake Arrieta, who pitched a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium last August, faces left-hander Rich Hill, who worked a total of seven innings in two starts in the Division Series against the Nationals.

The win was the 700th in franchise history. Beckham gave it to the Giants with a career day despite going to the locker room with a hip pointer in the second quarter. Beckham returned before the half and made the Giants (3-3) a winner with a spectacular second half.

He initially lined up in the backfield before shifting out wide right. He then took a lateral from Smith and bulled with way into the end zone for the TD . It was the first TD run by a defensive player since Poe had won last year against San Diego. “I’m taking credit for that one for all the chubby guys out there,” coach Andy Reid said. “He’s got phenomenal hands. ... It’s just a matter of looking it in, be patient and then cut the beast loose.”
Welcome Back: After getting only two carries in his first game back from a torn ACL,
Jamaal Charles played a bigger role this week. He scored his first TD since Sept. 28, 2015, with a 4-yard run midway through the second quarter. Charles finished with nine carries for 33 yards and two catches for 14 yards.
Quick Turnaround: Just when it looked as if the Chiefs would add on to a 13-7 lead late in the first half, there was a major momentum shift. Spencer Ware was stopped for a 2-yard loss on third-and-1 by Stacy McGee and Cairo Santos missed a 38-yard field goal. The Raiders took over with 25 seconds left and one timeout. But Carr quickly completed three passes for 44 yards and then spiked the ball with 1 second left,

Tennis doubles tandem reaches ITA Regional final
setting up a 46-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski that cut Kansas City’s lead to 13-10 at the half. All that momentum was erased when Kansas City took the second-half kickoff and drove down for a touchdown. “To come out and let them go right down the field to start the second half, that’s a major can’t do,” coach Jack Del Rio said.
Happy Homecoming: For the second straight year, Peters had an interception in his return to his hometown. Peters left the game for a bit in the second half to go through the concussion protocol, but was cleared and able to return.
Fast Start: The Raiders jumped out early, thanks to a 50-yard return of the opening kick by Jalen Richard. Carr completed four of five passes on the ensuing drive, including a 3-yarder to Andre Holmes that made it 7-0 with Oakland’s second first-drive TD of the season. That was about it for highlights for the Raiders as Carr struggled in the rain and wasn’t helped by dropped thirddown passes from Seth Roberts and Richard.
