jhlavacek@ljworld.com Last fall, singer-songwriter Clint Black dropped his first studio album in a decade.

“On Purpose,” which has earned mostly positive reviews since its release, marked a return to the spotlight for the lauded country crooner (his many accolades include big wins from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association) and occasional actor who made a name for himself among genre peers Garth Brooks and

Ex-Gov. Carlin, political experts foresee big changes for Legislature By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — A group of political experts, including a former Kansas governor, told a gathering of public school officials Wednesday that moderate Republicans and Democrats may win a majority of seats in the Kansas Legislature Nov. 8, but they also warned of trouble ahead for the state. “I’m very confident there will be a moderate coalition

number of current and former teachers and other school officials are running in those races. Lawmakers will be expected to craft a new school funding formula next year to replace the one they repealed in 2015. In addition, this year’s elections are being held against the backdrop of a school funding lawsuit now pending before the Kansas Supreme Court, where five of the seven justices are up for retention this year, four of whom have been targeted by conservative groups for nonretention. Conservatives have had solid majorities in the Kansas House since Gov. Sam Brownback was first elected in 2012, and they gained firm control of the Senate by ousting a number of moderates in the 2012 GOP primaries. But with the state now facing severe budget shortfalls, which many people blame on the tax cuts that conservatives pushed through in 2012 and 2013, recent polls have shown Brownback is now extremely unpopular, and his conservative allies are facing tough re-election battles. Many observers have expected Democrats and moderate Republicans to gain seats this year, but their chances of winning actual majorities in both chambers grew in August when several incumbents were defeated in the GOP primaries. University of Kansas political science professor Patrick Miller told the group of school officials that even after conservative losses in the primaries, there are eight to 10 races in the Senate and 20-25 races in the House that he considers “truly

competitive,” and most of those involve Democrats challenging incumbent conservative Republicans. But Carlin said a moderate-Democratic coalition won’t find it easy to govern at a time when the state faces significant financial pressures and Brownback, a conservative Republican, still holds veto power. “We’re in a hell of a fix,” Carlin said. “The hole we’re in is deep.” Already this fiscal year, he noted, the state faces more than a $60 million revenue shortfall, and he said few candidates on the campaign trail are talking about how serious the financial problem is, or what steps will be needed to fix it. “This campaign is not talking in detail about taxes,” he said. “The public is not aware at this point how bad things are.” Carlin said new legislators coming into office next year face a danger of trying to move too quickly in changing the state’s tax and school funding policies, and he warned that if they are not careful, they could easily be defeated for re-election in 2018. He also said it will take a very large majority to overcome a veto. “You’ll have a governor, the same one, for the next two legislative sessions,” Carlin said. “I see no signs that he wants to go out having acknowledged that his plan didn’t work, but he was strong enough and smart enough to admit it and work with the Legislature to start turning things around. I just don’t expect that to happen.” At age 76, Carlin has been more active in the 2016 elections than he has been for more than 20 years. He served as governor from 1979 to 1987, and then stepped away from politics for a time. He returned in 1994 to run for the open 2nd Dis-

trict congressional seat but lost badly to a rising Republican star at that time, Sam Brownback. Carlin now teaches as a visiting professor and executive in residence at Kansas State University. Meanwhile, KU’s Miller and Emporia State University political scientist Michael Smith told the school officials that Democrats and moderate Republicans probably won’t be in lockstep with one another, even on school funding issues. Miller brushed aside one popular notion, that the two factions could team up to elect moderate leadership in the House and Senate, even if conservatives keep control of the Republican majority caucus. “Other than wishful thinking, I have not heard anyone that I talk to (suggest that),” he said. “The answer is a solid ‘no’ from everyone.” Smith even suggested that moderate Republicans and Democrats could have trouble agreeing among themselves on some school funding issues. “To me, the issue to watch is the local option budget,” Smith said. “Some of the mod leaders are going to come out of Johnson County. They’re going to come out of some very wealthy districts, including the wealthiest districts in the state, Mission Hills and Leawood. They’re going to want a very generous local option budget so they can pour money into their own schools from property taxes.” “Some of the Democrats are going to be representing areas where they’re going to want more to push that into the base funding formula,” he said. “If this nascent mod-Democratic coalition can get a new school base funding formula passed, and can get past the local option budget issue, then it’s a real thing.”

Media members were notified of the issue the same day that inspectors discovered a small — but otherwise unspecified — amount of mold inside the portable unit, which had housed four classrooms, library media and other resources since August.

A chart they created shows the debt level stands at more than $5 billion for the 2017 fiscal year, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. From fiscal year 1997 to 2017, the total amount of bond debt rose by 336.4 percent, or $3.8 billion, according to the chart. The debt marched upward during the administrations of Democratic Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, as well as Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. During the Sebelius and Parkinson administrations, the debt load increased by about 57 percent. The bond indebtedness has risen by about 37 percent since Brownback’s first full fiscal year in office.

as possible candidates for the permit. They include the manufacture of musical instruments, clocks, electrical or electronic equipment, baked goods, candy, dairy products and ice cream. Activities involving the slaughter of animals are excluded. Commissioner Nancy Thellman questioned the exclusion of slaughtering. Scale should be a consideration, she said, but she suggested slaughtering was part of the growing demand for locally produced food. Also at the meeting, staff proposed a 10-year extension for the conditional use permit for Midnight Farm, a facility northeast of Baldwin City that provides services for individuals with developmental disabilities,

with the stipulation that the farm participate in a dust reduction program with the county. Speaking at the public hearing, neighbors said the farm should be required to help with dust control and road maintenance on North 600 and East 2100 roads. Commissioners agreed that traffic to and from Midnight Farm contributed to dust on the roads, but they were reluctant to have the nonprofit assume all the cost of dust control. They asked that planners work with Midnight Farm and Douglas County Public Works before the permit is considered again to determine how the cost could be reasonably distributed.

initiatives such as a mental health court, a pre-trial monitoring program and house arrest options with electronic monitoring. The mental health court is on track to start proceedings in 2017, and could serve as many as 30 people in its first year, Bieniecki said. In July, county commissioners agreed to provide $443,000 in the 2017 budget for the program, which will provide for the release of qualifying inmates under the supervision of a case manager. The pre-trial monitoring program is designed to allow qualifying low-level offenders to be released while

being monitored to ensure that they attend court dates and other court-ordered activities. Bieniecki said the program will have one full-time employee and one employee who will have duties with both the monitoring program and the mental health court. He said the program could have an initial case load of 50 to 75 people. The house-arrest monitoring program could be introduced with the use of electronic monitors on those convicted of low-level DUI offenses, Bieniecki said. It could then be expanded if it proves effective, he said.

Critics say such requirements suppress voter turnout, particularly among young and minority voters, and that there have been few cases of fraud in the past. The lawsuit, filed by prospective voter Parker Bednasek, contends the state’s proof-of-citizenship requirement violates voters’

constitutional right to due legal process and the right to freely travel from state to state by infringing on people’s ability to vote and to sign petitions. It states the actions Kobach has taken to verify citizenship status discriminate against people who were born or got married in other states. Kobach is facing at least four separate lawsuits challenging various aspects of the law.

Mold CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Reports of a roof leak on the unit Sept. 14 prompted an investigation into moisture levels inside the unit, according to the release. During repairs, the district contracted with META Consulting to conduct air quality sampling, which took place the next day, on Sept. 15. Testing indicated above-normal levels of airborne mold spores in two of the unit’s six rooms when compared with outdoor samples. However, a follow-up report from META Consulting, the district said, advised that mold spores are found almost everywhere, and, while it’s “impossible to eliminate mold and mold spores,” indoor mold growth can be reined in by controlling moisture levels. District facilities staff then made a series of repairs to the unit, including replacement of damaged ceiling tiles, subfloor, carpeting and window trim, and sealing of windows and exterior seams, as well as removing any visible moisture. Classrooms were moved elsewhere during the repairs, and no visible moisture issues were found afterward, the district said. A second round of air quality sampling, conducted by APEX Environmental Consultants

“We thank the members of KBOR for their consideration.” KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little

on Sept. 29, however, indicated that the moisture level within the unit’s walls could signal “a hidden potential for mold growth,” according to the district’s news release. The APEX report indicated that both the northand south-facing exterior walls were wet, with meter readings of 100 percent relative moisture content “in most areas.” “Our Facilities and Operations staff performed a visual inspection on September 30, and returned on October 1 with the supplier of the portable unit to remove two exterior panels at random, one from the north side and one from the south side,” Boyle wrote in an email. “They found dry walls with no visible signs of mold.” APEX’s report at the time also noted normal levels of indoor airborne mold spores “in all areas as compared to outdoor samples.” Roughly two weeks later, based on evaluation of that report, district staff returned to the portable unit, this time for a more thorough assessment of the structure, with the unit’s supplier, an APEX environmental consultant, and professional restoration and remediation specialists in tow. On that day, last Friday, they removed exterior panels, conducted a systematic investigation of the condition of the walls and discovered “excessive moisture levels” and the presence of mold within the unit’s walls.

Boyle said no evaluation of mold levels had taken place that day, but that staff described the amount found as a small, isolated growth, which was enough to prompt officials to vacate and replace the unit. “Additional testing wasn’t necessary since we were vacating and replacing the portable,” Boyle wrote in an email. Mold exists pretty much everywhere and cannot possibly be eliminated entirely from indoor environments, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes. It has also been capable, no matter the variety, of negatively affecting the health of those who come into contact with it. Exposure to mold can lead to allergic reactions or even asthma attacks in people who are allergic to it, according to the EPA, while some molds can produce potent toxins and/or irritants. The portable unit at East Heights has not been in use by students since last Thursday, Boyle said. District officials anticipate moving classes into a new unit by Nov. 28. In the meantime, the fifth-grade and thirdgrade classes that previously occupied the unit have been relocated to classrooms within the East Heights building. The unit had been in use at East Heights since fall 2014, Boyle said.

announced in September that she would step down after the 2016-17 school year. An article I wrote a few days after her announcement talks more about the search process, which Regents representatives have indicated will almost certainly be “closed,” meaning no

names will be shared publicly until the next chancellor accepts the job. Gray-Little was hired, in 2009, through a closed search process.

Cautionary tale The many issues that arose in the wake of the HERE apartment project should serve as a warning to the city.

he HERE Kansas apartment complex project is a reminder for Lawrence city commissioners to be careful in choosing partners for tax rebates. On Tuesday, the Commission voted to approve a parking plan for HERE, despite misgivings about how HERE has handled its business. There really was no option but to approve the parking plan; anything else would have made conditions worse for residents of the Oread neighborhood. The previous City Commission provided HERE, a 624-bed complex on Indiana Street near Memorial Stadium, with an 85 percent property tax rebate after the Chicago development group touted the luxury apartment complex as a major boon that would help the city meet surging demand for increased rental inventory. But HERE has stumbled almost from the start. Consider: l One of the selling points was a hightech, robotic parking garage that would be a showpiece for the project. But the parking system was scrapped after the manufacturer, Boomerang Systems Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and stopped work on the garage in Lawrence. That prompted the need for the apartment complex to acquire the additional parking approved Tuesday. l The apartment complex missed several deadlines and left new tenants, many of them college students from out of town, stranded for several days as developers worked to finish units and pass final city building inspections allowing tenants to move in. l And it was revealed Tuesday that a pool party at the complex had been filmed and the video was being used as a promotion to recruit tenants. The video shows exactly what one might expect of a college pool party. l The incentives for HERE were granted under the Neighborhood Revitalization Act. Commissioner Matthew Herbert said that revitalization has not been accomplished. “If you’re going to be accepting a neighborhood revitalization tax incentive, you need to do something on your end to demonstrate that you’re a good neighbor,” Herbert told HERE developers Tuesday. “And up to this point, I have seen nothing that demonstrates you’re a good neighbor.” It’s hard to argue with Herbert’s assessment. At the same time, it’s hard to argue against the parking plan. The apartment complex is about 100 spaces short of what it needs to accommodate residents. The majority of the property that will make up the new lot is owned by the KU Endowment Association, which will lease the new lot to HERE. There are still details to work out in terms of parking on Saturday when the KU football team plays at home, but the parking plan approved Tuesday was the best of limited options. The HERE complex did accomplish the goal of adding much needed rental inventory in Lawrence. But the complex’s miscues reflect poorly on its partnership with the city. May that be a lesson for such partnerships in the future.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Oct. 20, 1976, 78 people were killed when the Norwegian tanker Frosta rammed the commuter ferry George Prince on the Mississippi River near New Orleans. l In 1803, the U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase. l In 1944, during World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur stepped ashore at Leyte in the Philippines, 2 1/2 years after saying, “I shall return.” l In 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist influence and infiltration in the U.S. motion picture industry. l In 1973, in the so-called “Saturday Night Massacre,” special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox was dismissed and Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William B. Ruckelshaus resigned.

Documentary fits the pieces together “Not whips and chains — all subliminal; instead of n----r, they use the word criminal” — Common from “Letter to the Free”

In the end, she gives us grace. And by then, you really need it. The end credits roll over pictures celebrating everyday joys of African-American life. A beaming girl rides a pony. Boys flex. Fathers cuddle daughters. The anger and pain that have sat heavily in your chest for more than 90 minutes begin to lift ever so slightly at these reminders of black life still stubbornly managing to be lived even in the midst of state-sponsored oppression. Otherwise called, without irony, the U.S. justice system. In “13th,” the troubling new documentary from director Ava DuVernay now streaming on Netflix, the American prison industrial complex is laid bare as a machine designed for the suppression of an inconvenient populace. Meaning black men — the nation’s boogeymen for two centuries and counting. Like “The New Jim Crow,” the game-changing 2012 book by Michelle

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

We like to think we have distance from the past, don’t we?” Alexander, “13th” doesn’t tell you anything you didn’t already know if you’ve been paying attention. Its triumph is to fit the pieces together, to make visible the pattern that was there all along. Namely, that much of what we call justice is a 150-year effort to win back what was lost at Appomattox. Yet somehow, we never quite see. Six point five percent of the country accounts for over 40 percent of its prisoners. The liberal looks at this and says, isn’t it a shame what poverty does to them? The conservative looks at it and says, isn’t it a shame they embrace thug culture? The overt racist looks at

it and says, isn’t it a shame they’re naturally criminal? Hardly anyone looks at it and says, the system is working as designed. Hardly anyone says, this is not about criminality, but control. DuVernay says it forcefully, explicitly and convincingly. In “13th” — the title comes from the constitutional amendment that ended slavery — the director of “Selma” draws a line from Appomattox through convict leasing, through lynch law, through the Southern strategy, through mass incarceration, through the commodification of black bodies and black misery by private prison entrepreneurs. All the way up to now. Cue Donald Trump. On screen, a black man is being spat upon at one of his rallies. A black woman is being shoved. A black man is being sucker punched. And Trump is loving it. “Knock the c--p out of ‘em, would you? Get ‘em out of here. In the good old days, this doesn’t happen, because they used to treat them very, very rough. And when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily. Like to punch him in the face, I’ll

tell you.” As he speaks, the images change. It’s 1965 and Rev. C.T. Vivian is being knocked down the courthouse steps. It’s 1960 and protesters are being hauled off lunch counter stools. It’s 1957 and reporter L. Alex Wilson is being kicked and pummeled down the streets by the good people of Little Rock. All as Trump is reminiscing about the good old days. And a chill skitters up your spine. We like to think we have distance from the past, don’t we? We profess to be mystified by it. How could people have done such things? If I had lived at that time, a man will assure you, I’d have never tolerated it. But, as attorney and author Bryan Stevenson reminds DuVernay’s camera, “the truth is, we are living at this time — and we are tolerating it.” It is an unanswerable truth, a truth that leaves conscience maimed. The credits roll just then. And yes, you are thankful for that small bit of grace. — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Colleges should encourage truly diverse views Washington — A specter is haunting academia, the specter of specters — ghosts, goblins and “cultural appropriation” through insensitive Halloween costumes. Institutions of higher education are engaged in the low comedy of avoiding the agonies of Yale. Last October, the university was rocked to its 315-year-old foundations by the wife of a residential college master (a title subsequently expunged from Yale’s vocabulary lest it trigger traumas by reminding people that slavery once existed). In response to a university memorandum urging students to wear culturally sensitive costumes — e.g., no sombreros — she wrote an email saying it should be permissible for young people to be inappropriate, provocative or even offensive because “the ability to tolerate offense” is a hallmark of “a free and open society.” After the dust settled from this, she and her husband left the residential college. And Yale had trampled in the dust the noble legacy of its 1975 Woodward Report. Named for the chairman of the committee that produced it, historian C. Vann Woodward, the report was written after Yale’s awkward handling of some controversial speakers. Reaffirming freedom of expression’s “superior importance to other laudable principles and values,” the report said: “Without sacrificing its central purpose, [a university] cannot make its primary and dominant value the fostering of friendship, solidarity, harmony, civility or mutual respect. ... It will never let these values, im-

“

Fifty years ago, student assertiveness concerned momentous issues of war and civil rights. Today, students have macro-tantrums about micro-aggressions.” portant as they are, override its central purpose.” That purpose, as Hanna Holborn Gray, a former president of the University of Chicago, once said, is not to make young adults comfortable, it is to make them think. Since 1975, however, universities have embraced the doctrine that speech that offends people actually harms them, mentally and even physically. The decision to treat young adults as fragile and perpetually vulnerable to victimization coincided with academia’s turn away from the world: Fifty years ago, student assertiveness concerned momentous issues of war and civil rights. Today, students have macro-tantrums about micro-aggressions (e.g., sombreros). Time was, students rebelled against universities acting in loco parentis. Today, they welcome having their sexual and other social interactions minutely subjected to government regulations admin-

istered by Pecksniffs with Ph.D.s. Fortunately, The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that some schools are having second thoughts about their “bias-response teams” that spring into action when someone says that someone has said something offensive. These schools have noticed the obvious: When such teams elevate campus harmony to the supreme value, they become civility enforcers with a chilling effect on speech. America’s great research universities are ornaments of Western civilization, so their descent into authoritarianism and infantilization matters. Because conservatives are largely absent from faculties, and conservative students are regarded as a rebarbative presence, many conservatives welcome academia’s marginalization of itself by behavior that invites ridicule. But universities are squandering the cultural patrimony that conservatism exists to conserve. And what happens on campuses does not stay on campuses. According to the Pew Research Center, American millennials (ages 18 to 34), fresh from academia, “are far more likely than older generations to say the government should be able to prevent people from saying offensive statements about minority groups.” Forty percent of this cohort think government should be empowered to jettison much constitutional law concerning the First Amendment in order to censor speech offensive to minority groups. Gerard Alexander, a University of Virginia political scientist, argues in National

Affairs quarterly that a university’s “permanent population,” the faculty, is secure in the tenure system and maintains its monochrome intellectual culture by hiring from a Ph.D. pipeline that young conservatives are understandably reluctant to enter. He could have added that faculties’ ideological tendencies are reinforced by peer review of publications. “Schools,” Alexander notes, “have applied millions of hours of work to the priority of improving racial, ethnic and gender diversity. Viewpoint diversity could be elevated to similar prominence and urgency.” This would improve scholarship, especially in the humanities and social sciences. Their research concerns economic behavior, the meaning and importance of classic literature, which social problems matter most and the evidence about ways of addressing them, how to evaluate different ethical positions and legal systems, and which aspects of history most merit study. Viewpoint diversity in faculties would, Alexander argues, at least pit one scholar’s susceptibility to “confirmation bias” — the tendency to seek, and be receptive to, evidence that buttresses one’s beliefs — against another’s different bias. Academia just now needs a reminder akin to Florence Nightingale’s terse axiom that whatever else hospitals might do, they should not spread disease. Universities, as the word suggests, have many missions, but becoming safe spaces for faculty and student juvenility is not among them. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

FIERCE DEBATE CAPS BRUTAL SERIES

Trump refuses to say whether he’ll accept election results

Trump going out the way he came in: Obstinate and provocative

Heidi M. Przybyla

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump began their final debate by contrasting their visions for the future of the Supreme Court, then clashing on immigration policy and abortion before Trump suggested he might not accept the outcome of the election Nov. 8. Asked whether he would respect the results of the election, Trump said, “I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense.” Clinton pounced, saying the comments are “horrifying,” given that the nation’s democratic system is built upon a peaceful transfer of power. “Every time things aren’t going in Donald’s direction, he claims it is rigged against him,” Clinton said, citing his insistence that the Republican primary was rigged after he lost Iowa and Wisconsin, that the courts were rigged when Trump University was sued for fraud and even that the Emmys were rigged when he didn’t receive one. “It’s funny, but it is also really troubling,” she said.

Donald Trump is ending his presidential bid the same way he began it: Defiant and provocative, breaking campaign norms and ignoring experts’ advice — and becoming the nation’s first presidential nominee in memory to say he wouldn’t necessarily accept the election returns on Nov. 8. At the third and final debate in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Trump ticked off a list of grievances: Voter fraud he claims could let millions of ineligible people cast ballots. Charges of sexual misconduct against him that he said were “probably” generated by opponent Hillary Clinton’s campaign. A news media he labeled as corrupt. And the stunning suggestion that he just might not concede the election if he lost. “I will look at it at the time,” the Republican nominee told moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News. “I’ll keep you in suspense.” Clinton called that response “horrifying.” With charge and countercharge — each accusing the other of being “unfit” for the White House — it was the most brutal presidential debate of the television age. The candidates did not shake hands before the debate began or when it ended. Voters looking for an uplifting

WASHINGTON Although Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald asserted that more than 90% of the VA’s medical centers have “new leadership” or “leadership teams” since he took over the troubled agency in 2014, a USA TODAY investigation found the VA has hired just eight medical center directors from outside the agency during that time.

The rest of the “new leadership” McDonald cites is the result of moving managers between jobs and medical centers. Some managers were transferred to new jobs despite concerns about the care provided to veterans at the facilities they previously managed. USA TODAY determined that of 140 medical center directors, 92 are new since McDonald took office in July 2014. That’s 66%. Of those, only 69 are permanent placements; the rest are interim appointees.

All Tesla cars will be equipped to be fully self-driving Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Tesla Motors announced Wednesday that its electric cars will be the first in the nation to all be fitted with the hardware they need to drive themselves. CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday that the automaker’s Model S, X and forthcoming Model 3 sedan will be outfitted with “the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.”

That constitutes full Level 5 autonomy, which doesn’t require any driver involvement. That’s the ultimate goal for a range of automakers and tech companies, including Google, Ford and Volvo, which have vowed to produce such self-driving vehicles by 2021. Musk did not say exactly when such technology would be consumer-ready, although he did say regulatory hurdles would have to be vaulted first. “It’s not up to us, it’s up to the regulators, and we hope things don’t become balkanized and different in every state,” he said. “It’s a question of what the public and

regulators think is appropriate. The system will always be operating in ‘shadow mode,’ though, so we can gather a lot of sophisticat-

ed data to show where software could have acted or not acted.” This next generation of Tesla’s Autopilot, as it calls the partial

self-driving feature it has in the cars, will have eight surround cameras that provide 360-degree visibility at up to 250 meters of range. There are 12 updated ultrasonic sensors that can detect hard and soft objects at nearly twice the distance of the existing Autopilot system. “It’s all Tesla Vision software, we’re not using any third-party software for the vision procession,” Musk said. “It’s our neural net.” Musk said a Tesla automobile would soon amount to being “a supercomputer in a car,” referencing new vision, sonar and radar processing software.

average people and not just the “powerful,” and Trump said he would nominate justices with “a conservative bent.” Clinton said the court “raises the central issue in this election” and should protect women’s rights and marriage equality, as well as reverse the Citizens United decision that has “undermined” the electoral system. “I have major disagreements with my opponent about these issues and others,” she said. Trump said, “The Supreme Court is what it’s all about.” He contended that the Second Amendment right to bear arms “is under absolute siege,” and he warned that if Clinton is elected, “it will be a very very small replica of what it is now.” Clinton reiterated her respect for the Second Amendment and said it is not incompatible with “reasonable regulation” to keep guns away from “people who shouldn’t have guns.” The candidates’ final debate was their last opportunity to reach an audience of millions of voters. They had far different goals as they presented their closing arguments to America. On abortion, Clinton made clear she will defend a woman’s right to choose. Trump berated her for backing late-term abor-

tions. Clinton noted that she supports late-term abortion in cases to defend the life of the mother. “I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions,” she said. Trump called it “terrible if you go with what Hillary is saying,” because it would allow a doctor to “rip the baby out of the womb of the mother” in the ninth month. “It’s not OK with me,” he said. Clinton said Trump misrepresented the circumstances of most late-term abortions: “That is not what happens in these cases, and using that kind of scare rhetoric is terribly unfortunate,” she said. On immigration, Clinton argued that Trump’s deportation plan is tantamount to a national effort to round up people and put them on trains and buses to get them out of the country. “That is an idea that is not in keeping with who we are as a nation” and “would rip our country apart.” She called for an immigration policy that includes border security and took aim at Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the border with Mexico. Trump stressed that he would force all undocumented immigrants to return to their home country: “We have some bad hombres here, and we’re gonna get em out,” he said. Clinton called it a “rank mis-

always said ‘leadership or leadership teams’ — both are important,” McDonald said in an interview. “In some cases, you’ve got directors who are doing a great job, but they’ve got a chief of staff who’s not, and you’ve got to change that person.” McDonald said the number itself is “almost irrelevant” and what’s important is that he and other VA leaders are “trying to attract top talent, to get them in the right seats on the bus, in order to make outcome changes for veterans.” VA Undersecretary for Health David Shulkin said salary constraints, a lengthy hiring process and other factors have limited the agency’s ability to attract non-VA applicants. “We tend to use lots of numbers, and that can be confusing, and what I’m trying to do is simplify the message, so here’s my message: I need help,” Shulkin said. “I need the right leaders to come in and to take these positions of responsibility on behalf of the country, and I don’t care if it’s 90%, 80% or 60%. I know I have openings and I don’t have the applicants.” USA TODAY scoured hundreds of documents, news accounts and Web archives to build a database tracking VA personnel moves since the wait-time scandal broke in 2014, starting with a Phoenix VA facility where 40 veterans died awaiting care. That case revealed widespread mismanagement of facilities and led to McDonald’s appointment with a mandate to fix veterans’ care. President Obama echoed McDonald’s pride in the VA’s transformation, saying on a recent CNN forum that “we have, in fact, fired a whole bunch of people who are in charge of these facilities.” In fact, the VA moved to fire only seven medical center directors. One of them quit, and another retired first.

characterization” that she is for totally open borders before accusing Russia is hacking her campaign emails. The hacks are coming “from the highest levels of the Kremlin,” she said. Trump refused to accept U.S. intelligence reports that Russia is behind the cyberattacks that exposed emails from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. “That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders,” Trump said before getting into a tussle with Clinton about which one of them is a “puppet” for Russian President Vladimir Putin. A gloves-off tone was apparent from the beginning as the families and candidates bypassed the customary handshake. Real estate billionaire Trump has been the underdog in nearly every single national poll conducted in the past week, a deficit that could translate into a crushing defeat in the Electoral College. Surveys showed traditionally Republican states such as Arizona in play. Clinton looks to maximize her appeal to independent and soft Republican voters. If polls are accurate that she’s the prohibitive winner, her next challenge will be to unify the country behind her, which looks increasingly difficult in an election among the nastiest and most personal.

VA LEADERSHIP TRANSFERS While the Department of Veterans Affairs has claimed 90% of its medical centers have “new leadership teams,” many directors transferred from other facilities. A look at directors who moved. Subhead Label FACILITY TRANSFERS

Manila, Phillippines

SOURCE Public records, USA TODAY research KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

Of the 69 permanent directors installed since McDonald took over, 49 transferred from a different VA medical center, and 12 came from different jobs within the same hospital. The moves included promotions, for instance from associate director to director of a medical center. In 22 cases, the VA moved directors from one center to another. In Ohio, directors in Chillicothe and Columbus simply switched places. Some of the directors came from facilities where they faced issues ranging from low-ranking quality of care to wait-time falsification to mismanagement identified by outside investigators. Among them: uKathleen Fogarty cut veterans’ access to outside care to help overcome a multimilliondollar deficit as director of the Tampa VA, in 2011 and repeatedly denied publicly that she was doing it, according to the Tampa Bay Times. In March 2015, the VA transferred her to the director’s post at the Kansas City, Mo., VA. uJoe Battle, who had been the director of the Jackson, Miss., VA, replaced Fogarty in Tampa. The Office of Special Counsel, which investigates whistle-blow-

er claims, concluded in 2013 that Battle downplayed serious problems with veteran care in Jackson, “calling into question the facility’s commitment to implementing serious reforms.” During his tenure in Jackson, doctors prescribed narcotics to patients they hadn’t seen, schedulers slotted veterans into “ghost clinics” that didn’t exist, and the American Legion, two years after he took over, said it was “appalled” by conditions at the facility. uRobert Walton went from director of the Harlingen, Texas, VA to director of the San Antonio VA in November last year. During his tenure in Harlingen, the facility ranked among the lowest in the country in quality and efficiency by the VA’s own metrics, and investigators found schedulers had routinely falsified veteran wait times under pressure from supervisors. uDeborah Amdur went from director in White River Junction, Vt., to director of the troubled Phoenix VA last December. In Vermont, the VA’s Office of Inspector General found routine scheduling manipulation directed by supervisors, and a doctor told investigators that management pressure to increase productivity

led to missed cancer diagnoses. Amdur retired in August citing “personal health reasons.” Several weeks later, the inspector general released the results of another investigation at the Phoenix VA that found more scheduling improprieties. uRimaAnn Nelson, who was director of a VA benefits and outpatient clinic in the Philippines, took over for Amdur in Phoenix. She had been director of the St. Louis VA when 1,800 veterans were potentially exposed to HIV and hepatitis because of poor sterilization. A follow-up investigation during her tenure found some of the problems hadn’t been adequately addressed. VA officials declined to comment on many of the transfers, citing privacy laws, but said that in general, they were consistent with federal guidelines. They said the vast majority of the moves were promotions. In at least one case, a director requested a transfer for personal reasons, and the VA approved it. “You can’t have a robust human resource system unless you are providing opportunities for progression,” McDonald said. “I’m sure the process we follow for promotion or for transfer to a larger facility is the governmentregulated process, which is a fair process dictated by Congress, and I’m sure the people who moved to new facilities ... deserved that movement.” Shulkin said the Phoenix crisis and ensuing media scrutiny triggered an exodus of leaders at the VA, and the agency hasn’t been able to attract enough applicants to fill those slots. He said VA officials have filled as many as they could with a mix of inside and outside candidates. Shulkin said there are more than two dozen directors’ jobs open. They are filled by acting or interim directors, who have cycled through posts frequently at times, destabilizing leadership at some facilities. St. Louis has had eight temporary directors since 2013. This month, the VA promoted an associate director to fill the role. Los Angeles had four; Oklahoma City and Phoenix had five.

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

Football fans aren’t the only ones talking about shut-down defenses. Wall Street is talking up U.S. defense stocks no matter who wins the presidential election in November. “After five years of austerity in the defense budget, we expect defense spending to increase regardless of whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump wins the presidency,” Dan Clifton, a policy strategist at Strategas Research Partners, told clients in a research note Wednesday. But a Trump win would boost defense spending even more, he adds. If Clinton wins, Boeing shares should benefit from the Democrat likely reinstating the ExportImport Bank, which supplies

Beige book: Economy grew moderately in past 6 weeks Could provide clues to Fed’s next rate hike Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The economy expanded at a modest to moderate pace from late August to early October, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday, as a pickup in retail sales and housing offset a mixed picture for manufacturing. But job growth was tempered. The Fed’s beige book, which

provides an anecdotal account of the economy, was largely similar to recent editions, but its subdued description of payroll and wage growth seemed to match the official pullback reported by the Labor Department. The report could provide more clues to what Federal Reserve officials will do about interest rates. The U.S. central bank is widely expected to raise interest rates by the end of the year. While the housing market continued a solid recovery, limited inventories continued to constrain sales. And a strong dollar is still curtailing manu-

facturers’ exports. The overall outlook was “mostly positive, with growth expected to continue at a slight to moder-

ate pace” in several regions, the beige book said. Hiring was strongest in the Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco regions. And while manufacturers laid off workers in New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland, energy-related job cuts eased and factory payrolls were stable in Dallas following recent reductions tied to the oil industry downturn. Meanwhile, labor shortages again were spotted across the country. Employers struggled to hire workers in construction, manufacturing, hospitality, health care,

trucking and sales. Although wage growth was tepid, the shortages put upward pressure on pay for skilled workers in the Philadelphia area and entry-level positions in the St. Louis and San Francisco districts. New York employers were “increasingly willing to negotiate compensation.” And some smallbusiness owners in San Francisco reinstated health care benefits to attract applicants. Although retail sales advanced in most regions, unseasonably warm weather dampened clothing purchases in New York and Cleveland.

Newcomer Trevante Rhodes plays Chiron as an adult; Alex Hibbert plays him as a boy who bonds with a drug dealer (Ali), below right.

LOS ANGELES In the glow of Moonlight, a singular coming-ofage story found its way to the screen. For the film’s actors, “it’s about breaking down labels and boxes that people like to put each other in,” says Naomie Harris, sitting with her co-stars Mahershala Ali and Trevante Rhodes. “We are all desperately searching for love and a sense of belonging.” Moonlight (in theaters Friday in New York and Los Angeles and adding cities throughout the month; opens nationwide Nov. 11) is the story of an African-American boy named Chiron whose formative years are spent in a tough neighborhood in Miami, where he’s bullied in school and given little shelter by his crack-addicted mother, Paula (Harris). Chiron’s story is told in three chapters: at age 9 (played by Alex Hibbert), as a closeted gay teen (Ashton Sanders) and as an adult (Rhodes). Rhodes, a Hollywood newcomer, calls the resounding praise at film festivals “insane,” adding that the quick success almost inspires paralysis. “It’s almost inevitable to have a bad film at some time, so I’m like, ‘Man, I’m terrified (of what to do next),’ ” the 26-yearold actor acknowledges. The film is adapted from Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, and by adulthood, Chiron has remade himself in the image of one of the few kind faces he encountered in childhood: a formidable drug dealer named Juan (Ali). Ali, 42, says he was relieved to find Chiron’s mentor humanized. In Hollywood, white-collar criminals are often “very threedimensional, and you’ll even end up sympathizing with that character or connecting with him as he steals hordes of money from people,” he says. “But I don’t feel like the same service has been

done to characters who come from the urban communities.” Playing Paula was a role Harris, 40, initially resisted. “I actually had a lot of judgment about addiction because I’m someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, doesn’t smoke — I don’t even drink coffee,” the British actress says. “I had to learn that everybody actually is doing their very best with the resources they have at that time.” Like McCraney, director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) grew up with an addict mother in the Liberty City projects, and he persuaded Harris to parachute in for a tight three-day shoot while promoting the Bond movie Spectre. “There isn’t a single scene with Paula that didn’t happen to either myself or Tarell in some form,” Jenkins says. “It was prob-

ably the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do as a filmmaker.” Hailed for shining a light on the experience of gay black men, the film boasts a 98% positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com. Glowing reviews have pushed the drama-turned-love story into this year’s Oscar race. “To have so many people identify with the character and see themselves in the piece was a pleasant surprise,” Jenkins says. Rhodes, who is straight, identified with Chiron after watching a close pal struggle with his sexuality. “It was just seeing that growing up, seeing the pain constantly on one of my best friend’s face for 10 years,” he says. “To see this person on a page in the narrative that I’ve never seen before and to have the opportunity to bring that to life was incredible.”

Some pleasures resist re-creation. To be sure, few people (and almost no critics) were using the word “pleasure” to describe The Rocky Horror Picture Show when it was released in TV 1975. The film PREVIEW flopped, and for good ROBERT reason: Once you get BIANCO past the opening half-hour or so, where the best songs reside, the movie slowly meanders its way through a kind of whacked-out, indifferent incoherence. And yet, instead of falling into the oblivion that greeted such musical contemporaries as At Long Last Love and The Blue Bird, Rocky Horror triumphed as a midnight-show cult hit. Younger audiences looked past the film’s structural problems to embrace its virtues: its straights-join-thefreaks theme, and its then-novel championing of sexual fluidity. Crowds — which, let’s be honest, tended to arrive in an altered state — didn’t just show up, they dressed up and acted out. For decades since, Rocky Horror has inspired a loopy, loosely structured participatory costume

The Rocky Horror Picture Show recasts itself for TV. party built around shouting out lines and mimicking the onscreen action. It’s audience as co-star — a phenomenon director Kenny Ortega tries to incorporate into Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again (Thursday, 8 ET/PT, eeEE out of four) by occasionally pulling back to show us a happy crowd watching the same film we are. It’s a cute trick at first, but like this new Rocky Horror, it wears thin, in large part because organized spontaneity is a contradiction in terms. corporate That sanitized appropriation of crowd-sourced

FOX

anarchy is the hallmark of a production that turns a once defiantly countercultural musical into something quaint and mainstream. This Fox remake is briskly staged and competently done, but it’s haunted by a sterility and a forced cheerfulness that goes against the show’s grain. The story remains the same. On a dark and rainy night, straightlaced fiancés Brad (Ryan McCartan) and Janet (Victoria Justice, in the role played by Susan Sarandon) wander into a castle hosting the annual Transylvanian science convention. As the guests dance to the Time Warp, Brad and Janet

meet Riff Raff (Reeve Carney), Columbia (Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford), Magenta (Christina Milian) and, briefly, Eddie (Adam Lambert). Still, the castle’s most famous resident is the host, that “sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania,” Dr. Frank-NFurter — played to a legendary “t” in the original by Tim Curry (who cameos as the narrator) and now, Laverne Cox. As Frank goes, so goes Rocky Horror — and it doesn’t go so well. Cox gives a buoyant, appropriately outsize performance that sometimes works on its own terms but seldom works for the material. There was an edge and squalid danger to Curry’s performance that’s lost when you cast Frank as a beautiful woman. (Even the famous fishnets now look like a high-fashion statement.) The ambiguity remains, but the raunch is gone. Even so, Rocky is neither a travesty nor a disaster. Even miscast, Cox is engaging, as are most of her co-stars — and they do a fine job with the numbers you remember best. It’s hard to imagine anyone forming a cult around this version, but then, that’s what critics said about the first one. And we know how that turned out.

and I have been woken up on numerous occasions at 2 in the morning by her partying and loud talking. I have spoken to my landlord twice about this, and he has assured me that he has spoken to her. However, this behavior continues to happen. I understand that you have to choose your battles as an apartment dweller; however, this neighbor’s complete disregard of the apartment rules has my

‘Rocky Horror’ revamped In the spirit of Halloween, Fox offers a brand-new production of the 1973 London stage musical turned 1975 cult movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again” (7 p.m., TV-14). Few shows are better suited to the kind of live production that has been the TV craze since “The Sound of Music” aired some years back on NBC. But this “ R o c k y Horror” is a rather slickly produced film musical. Victoria Justice (“Victorious”) and Ryan McCartan (“Liv & Maddie”) star as the cute couple Janet and Brad at the center of the proceedings. The cast also includes Laverne Cox (“Orange Is the New Black”), Staz Nair (“Game of Thrones”) and Adam Lambert of “American Idol” fame. This Fox version hews closer to “High School Musical,” a dutiful, if somewhat sterile evocation of another generation’s idea of decadence. It represents nostalgia within nostalgia, a 21st-century take on the 1970s looking back at the 1940s. Around the same time that “Rocky Horror” became a midnight movie tradition, composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman created the 1982 Off-Broadway rock comedy musical “Little Shop of Horrors” which ran for years and was itself adapted for a 1986 movie musical. Its creators went on to write the music and lyrics for Disney animated musicals, including “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast,” exposing a new generation to musical theater via feature-length cartoons.

Using these tools has helped me, but the fact remains that this woman seems to have no regard for anyone. I feel completely disrespected, and it makes me angry that she is keeping me awake. Moving is not an option for me right now, so I believe I am doing the only thing I can do by keeping the landlord aware of this behavior. Annie, I am not really asking for your advice.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Oct. 20: This year you alternate between being chatty and lively and being deep and reflective. If you are single, you meet people with ease; however, you sometimes feel that you are too intense or needy for others. If you are attached, the two of you make many fun plans involving travel. 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) ++++ Reach out to someone at a distance who can be aloof and somewhat testy at times. Your efforts will be well-received by this person. Tonight: Close to home. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Someone who plays a significant role in your life has many suggestions that could work for you. Tonight: Have an important chat. Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You could be open to a change in the morning, but you’ll need to evaluate the financial implications first. Tonight: Make it your treat. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Lie low in the morning and gather facts. Try to share your ideas more often. Tonight: Whatever suits you.

Thank you for letting me vent. — Blood Has Boiled Over Dear Boiling: Always happy to let people vent if it prevents an explosion, but I am going to make one suggestion here: Talk to your neighbor. It’s possible your landlord never actually talked to her in the first place. And even if he did, he may be out of sight, out of mind as far as she’s concerned. Stop by for a neighborly chat, and ask this woman to keep it down. Once she sees the face of the person she’s keeping up every night, it ought to be harder for her to party on as if no one outside her four paper-thin walls exists. — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Dear Annie: I live in a large city with high real estate prices. This has prevented me from buying my own home, so I reside in an apartment. I have done so for the majority of my adult life. All of my previous experiences have been pleasant. However, the most recent apartment complex I moved to has very thin walls, and as a result, I can hear just about everything that goes on in my neighbors’ apartments. A new neighbor recently moved to the apartment below me, and I can hear everything that goes on down there. Our building has a strict rule stating that there should be no loud noise between the hours of 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. Unfortunately, my downstairs neighbor seems to be a night owl,

Which QB will start next game? Tough call

mtait@ljworld.com

orget for a moment trying to calculate the statistical probability of Kansas, with 37,000 high schools across America from which to choose, recruiting its top two quarterbacks from the same school and put yourself in the chair of Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy to try to guess which KU quarterback from Bishop Miege High will start Saturday’s 11 p.m. kickoff in Memorial Stadium. If I were in Gundy’s chair, my guess would be that Montell Cozart will get the nod over Ryan Willis because Oklahoma State brings a steady stream of heat on passers and Cozart, yet to be sacked this season, does a better job of getting rid of the ball under duress than Willis, who has been sacked 16 times this season. It’s never a good sign for a football team when the idea of playing the backup sounds better until he plays, at which point the former starter becomes more desirable. Given the current state of KU’s offense, limited by a young line, it’s generally the case. A study of both quarterbacks’ career statistics for Kansas in games against FBS schools doesn’t lead to a definitive conclusion favoring either one. Contrary to what most might think, Willis actually has thrown more passes than Cozart, even when numbers from seasonopeners against FCS schools are included, 432-386. Against FBS schools only, Cozart has completed 52 percent of his passes, Willis 54, a virtual dead heat. Cozart has averaged 5.3 yards per pass attempt, Willis 5.7, the slightest of advantages to Willis. Both quarterbacks have one interception every 25 throws. Willis produces a touchdown every 42 throws, Cozart every 50, again, the slightest of edges to Willis. The biggest difference comes in sacks, where Willis has produced one sack every nine throws, Cozart one every 15. None of the career numbers are good for either quarterback, which leads to the hope that Tyriek Starks, red-shirting freshman from New Orleans, will win the job in the spring. “He’s the first guy that we recruited in the offense for the offense and he’s a talented guy,” Beaty said at his weekly Tuesday press conference. That statement called attention to the hidden cost of Beaty identifying, hiring and trusting what he considered after one season to be the wrong man, Rob Likens, to install his version of the Air Raid offense. Although it’s true that Starks is the first QB given a scholarship since Beaty took over coaching the offense and quarterbacks, Starks is the third quarterback on scholarship since Beaty was named head coach.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

SENIOR LEADERS

Two from FSHS and LHS are shining on the football field

By Bobby Nightengale l bnightengale@ljworld.com

Houk leads Firebirds, offensive line by example

efore one of the Free State High football games last year, co-offensive coordinator Brett Romme shared a post he saw on Twitter with his offensive linemen. It was called the “Linemen’s Creed” and it had a message that stuck with senior left tackle Chase Houk. In fact, he thinks back to it before each game. “It just says that we know that we don’t get any glory, but our reward is seeing that win at the end of the night,” Houk said. “That’s what we strive for.” Houk leads by example on the offensive line, helping the Firebirds take a 5-2 record into the City Showdown, which starts at 7 p.m. Friday at FSHS. Each day, he’s the first one to walk out to the practice field, along with senior Drew Wise. He had the same daily presence in the weight room during the offseason. Senior quarterback Dallas Crittenden remembers Houk was one of the first teammates to introduce him-

Jacob Unruh makes noise with LHS defense

hen Lawrence High football players and coaches describe senior defensive end Jacob Unruh, usually the most common word is motor. Once the ball is snapped, Unruh rushes around the edge at 100 mph. There is no such thing as medium speed or anything less than maximum effort. On a play against Shawnee Mission West earlier this year, Unruh squeezed through a double-team block, ripped through a running back and sacked Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo the quarterback before JACOB UNRUH (7) GOT HIS FINGERS on the ball to deflect a pass celebrating with a big in the first half during a game against Olathe South. fist pump.

making big plays, he does his best to hype up his teammates. Unruh is the vocal leader of the Lions, who will travel across town to Free State for the City Showdown at 7 p.m. Friday. He’s competitive when it comes to making plays in games or keeping up intensity in practice. “I do have that feeling that I have to lead these guys a little bit more than I did last year,” Unruh said. “A lot more people are looking up to me and are going to see how I react in certain situations: if we’re down in the game, if we’re up in the game, if it’s close in a game.” A three-year starter, the 6-foot-1, 251-pound Unruh has transformed into one of the top defensive ends in the Sunflower

Who’s No. 3? KU football looking for more productivity at WR By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

LEFT PHOTO: KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER STEVEN SIMS JR. (11) is brought down by Baylor safety Davion Hall (2) during the third quarter of Saturday’s game at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas. ABOVE: LAQUVIONTE GONZALEZ (1) gets a block from teammate Bobby Hartzog Jr. (5) as he runs for a 70-yard gain during the Oct. 8 game at Memorial Stadium. appearances, ranks third in catches (15) and receiving yards (141). With 11 receptions apiece, junior Bobby Hartzog Jr. (82 yards) and sophomore Tyler Patrick (63 yards) are the only other Jayhawks with double-digit totals for the season. The bulk of Barbel’s numbers came from one game — nine catches, 94 yards versus TCU. Citing that outing, Phillips identified Barbel as KU’s current third-most productive receiver. Beaty, too, preferred the look of the offense on that day, when sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis threw for a season-best 348 yards. “We would like to be

able to spread the ball around as much as we can and be able to get better distribution throughout the game,” Beaty replied, when asked if KU needs a No. 3 option behind Sims and Gonzalez. “So, yeah, we would like to be able to get the ball to more people. Two weeks ago we were able to do that with Shak, which helped us a lot, and then we need to be able to utilize our running backs a little bit more in the passing game. That will help us to kind of take some pressure off those guys.” Kansas wide receiver Tyler Patrick (4) pulls in a touchdown pass in the end zone past Rhode Island defensive back

Abdul Ibrahim (5) during the third quarter on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016 at Memorial Stadium. Heading into Saturday’s 11 a.m. homecoming matchup with Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1), the Jayhawks barely have utilized running backs in passing routes. Senior Ke’aun Kinner has six catches for 61 yards, freshman Khalil Herbert has caught five for 40 yards and sophomore Taylor Martin, in four games, has two receptions for a net total of zero yards. In providing a counterargument to the need for receiving depth, Beaty pointed to this week’s op-

ponent, OSU, and standout junior target James Washington (36 catches, 731 yards, six touchdowns). “… They’re going to get him the ball a bunch,” Beaty said. “And we’re going to try to get the ball in our guys’ hands that we think can make the most happen as much as we can.” Along that line of thinking, Phillips said Hartzog, a starter every week, has been the model of consistency, but just hasn’t had many opportunities to shine. “When guys have a hot hand, you want to focus on a hot hand. In our situation, we’ve had a ten-

Another asked Self why he blows into his hands while taking the court before home games. Self joked, “It’s cold in here,” before revealing the superstition dates back to his days at Tulsa and Illinois and it helped win a bunch of games. “Until it doesn’t work, I guess we’ll keep going with it,” he added. From there, the women broke into groups and went to various stations including a photo-andautograph experience in the practice gym, Scouting 101 with Self and an introduction to strength and conditioning with Andrea Hudy. While the women in attendance clearly enjoyed themselves, the night was fun for more than just those who coughed up money for a good cause to be there. “It’s always fun for us to see all the people and talk to them and make it fun for them and fun for us,” said junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who was asked to lead the team in a rendition of “Happy Birthday” to around 20 women in attendance who have birthdays this week. “I’m not a really good singer, but I guess I had to do

it. (Coach Self) was happy and funny like he always is.”

One woman who raised her hand and took the mic from Jackson, quickly revealed that she did not have a question but simply wanted a hug.

Practice update The Jayhawks on Sunday held their first scrimmage of the 2016-17 season, complete with officials, a clock and a scoreboard. Even though Self said the team had improved from the start of practice, he was not all that impressed by his team’s performance during the scrimmage. “It’s been better,” Self said of practice. “We scrimmaged Sunday and we did not look good at all. But it was a great teaching tape because the guys saw how poorly we executed and really how we didn’t play with near as much effort as I thought we would. We’re certainly a lot better than we looked that day, but that tape was pretty eyeopening for a lot of our guys. We did not look like a very good team in our first scrimmage.” Asked for his read on why Sunday was a little sluggish, Mykhailiuk pointed to the ongoing process of bringing newcomers into the system. “We’ve got a lot of

Kevin Kane, now defensive coordinator at Northern Illinois, and Rob Likens, demoted from offensive coordinator although he technically still has the title, were the lead recruiters for Carter Stanley, third on KU’s depth chart. Neither Ford nor Stanley has been able to move ahead of either Miege QB on the depth chart. Playing Starks this season never was an option.

Bragg, who was a full participant at Wednesday night’s Ladies Night Out event, appeared to be moving around well on Wednesday night and Self said the issue was not a concern. “Yeah, he just had back spasms or whatever,” Self said when asked if Bragg was OK. “It just locked up on him.”

players added to this year’s watch list. The KU junior is the lone Big 12 player on the list and he is joined by marquee names like Grayson Allen (Duke), Allonzo Trier (Arizona) and Malik Monk (Kentucky), among others. Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, who had a couple of memorable battles with Graham during the 2015-16 season, won the award last season.

Asked where Starks needs the most seasoning, his high school coach, KU running backs coach Tony Hull said: “Just understanding the overall totality of the offense, understanding some of the more complex reads that come with it. However, he’s doing a great job of working hard to learn it. One thing about Tyriek, he’s a football rat. He’s going to work off the field and he’s going to work in the film room. He’s going to put a

lot of time into developing on and off the field.” Both Cozart and Ford suffered season-ending injuries early in 2015 and had a year of eligibility restored, which means all six quarterbacks on this season’s roster will be eligible to compete in 2017: Starks, Cozart, Willis, Stanley, Ford and Keaton Perry. By this time next season, we should know if one of the six is ready to ready to stop the QB door from spinning for the first time in the years since Todd Reesing packed Memorial Stadium.

In the ongoing search for a more productive offense, the Kansas football team could benefit from the emergence of a third receiving threat within the passing game. Halfway through the season, the Jayhawks know they can rely on junior wideout LaQuvionte Gonzalez and sophomore Steven Sims Jr. However, no other player on the roster averages more than three catches a game. Receivers coach Jason Phillips said KU’s offense “absolutely” needs another passing target to surface as a regular weapon. “If we run four guys out there all four of them need to be a consistent threat,” Phillips said, “and that’s where we have to improve as a group — all those guys that have an opportunity to get out and play for us, that they’re all perceived as threats when they’re out there.” Gonzalez, a 5-foot-10 junior, leads Kansas (1-5 overall, 0-3 Big 12) with 36 receptions, and has contributed 378 yards and one touchdown. Sims, a 5-10 sophomore, tops the offense with 453 yards and five touchdowns, off his 28 grabs. At that point, the statistical output falls off a cliff. Six-foot-three senior Shakiem Barbel, in five

dency to do that, which is very productive and positive for us. We just need to get him involved,” the assistant said of Hartzog. KU junior tight end Ben Johnson has 107 receiving yards and a touchdown, but hasn’t been a focal point of the offense the past two weeks, a stretch during which he has no catches. The remainder of the Jayhawks’ non-Simsor-Gonzalez receiving touchdowns have come from Patrick (one) and redshirt freshman Chase Harrell (two), a large red zone target, at 6-4. Phillips sees plenty of potential throughout his group, but when asked to name one or two players he considered closest to breaking out, he chose sophomore Jeremiah Booker (four catches, 41 yards in four appearances) and freshman Keegan Brewer (seven receptions, 48 yards). As far as Sims is concerned, he’d love to see one of his fellow receivers step up and help the offense (244.0 passing yards a game in Big 12 outings) get closer to reaching its potential. “I want my teammates to feel confident, like, ‘Yeah, I can make a play, too.’ That’s just gonna help everybody else,” Sims said. “If we can spread the field out, we can attack people from many different ways.”

MAJOR LEAGUE POSTSEASON ROUNDUP

Cleveland headed to World Series The Associated Press

American League Indians 3, Blue Jays 0 Toronto — For the Cleveland Indians, the script was the same every game — hope for the best from whoever they started, then count on Andrew Miller and the bullpen to close it out. That plan seemed especially dicey in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, with lightly used Ryan Merritt on the mound. But out of nowhere, the rookie delivered. Merritt coolly kept the Indians ahead until reinforcements arrived, and Cleveland earned its first trip to the World Series since 1997 by blanking the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 Wednesday. The 24-year-old lefty defied expectations, shutting down the powerful Blue Jays before exiting in the fifth inning. Thanks to a most unlikely pitching performance, a most unexpected team won the ALCS 4-1. Cleveland, which has never hosted a World Series opener, will play Game 1 at Progressive Field on Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs or Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Terry Francona’s team will try to augment what’s already been a scintillating year in Cleveland after LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned the city’s first major pro sports championship since 1964. The Indians’ title drought dates to 1948. In 1997, they let a one-run lead get away in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 and lost to the Florida Marlins in the 11th. “We always said if we could do it with this group it would be so special because this is as close to a family feel as you can get in a professional setting. So for that part of it, it is beyond feeling good,” Francona said. The Dodgers led the Cubs 2-1 going into Game 4 of the NLCS on Wednesday night. Cleveland didn’t play either club this season.

CLEVELAND INDIANS’ MIKE NAPOLI, LEFT, Coco Crisp, top, and Jose Ramirez, bottom right, celebrate with teammates after the team’s 3-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 5 of the baseball American League Championship Series Wednesday in Toronto. Miller, acquired from the New York Yankees in a midseason trade, was selected the ALCS MVP as the Indians took their sixth pennant. “I feel like I’ve said the word ‘special’ a million times in the last 20 or 30 minutes. But it’s the truth. It’s a blast to be a part of,” Miller said. With all of 11 major league innings under his belt — and only one start, on Sept. 30 — Merritt took the mound and looked just like a seasoned vet. The lefty retired the first 10 batters and allowed a mere two hits before being pulled after 4 1/3 innings. “I know they were counting on me,” Merritt said. “Before the game, they came and told me they had my back, everybody had my back, good or bad. So that takes some pressure off, and I just went out there and pitched and trusted my team.” Merritt got taps on his heart and hat from teammates when he left the mound. Then it was up to Cleveland’s tireless relievers to hold a threerun lead against the wildcard Blue Jays.

National League Cubs 10, Dodgers 2 Los Angeles — Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and the rest of the Chicago Cubs’ bats broke out in a big way. Rizzo homered and ended a postseason slump with three RBIs, Russell’s two-run drive highlighted a four-run fourth that stopped Chicago’s 21-inning scoreless streak, and the Cubs routed the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-2 on Wednesday to even the NL Championship Series at 2-all. Kenta Maeda is set to pitch for the Dodgers in Game 5 today against Jon Lester. Before the game, manager Dave Roberts said he will not start Clayton Kershaw on short rest after the Los Angeles ace threw a bullpen session Wednesday. Chicago ensured the NLCS will return to Wrigley Field for Game 6 Saturday. To break out of his prolonged slump, Rizzo used teammate Matt Szczur’s bat. “I know Szczur’s bat has a lot of hits in it,” Rizzo said. “I’ve done it a few times this year, just switching up the bat, switching up the mindset.”

Following consecutive shutout losses, the Cubs rapped out 13 hits on an 80-degree night with the warm Santa Ana winds fluttering the flags in center field. Rizzo and Russell had three hits each. Chicago’s 3-4-5 hitters — a combined 2 for 32 in the first three games — busted out. Every Cubs starter got at least one hit except Kris Bryant, who walked twice. “Today was a must-win for us,” Ben Zobrist said. Los Angeles was limited to six hits and made four errors in a game that dragged on for 3 hours, 58 minutes. Mike Montgomery won in relief of John Lackey, who was chased after consecutive walks opening the fifth. Four days shy of his 38th birthday, Lackey allowed two runs, three hits and three walks. Julio Urias, at 20 years, 68 days the youngest postseason starting pitcher in major league history, gave up four runs and four hits in 3 2/3 innings. He was the third consecutive left-hander to start the series for Los Angeles. Chicago rattled off three straight hits to open the fourth, sparked by Zobrist’s leadoff bunt single to third.

BRIEFLY FSHS seeded first in sub-state volleyball For the first time since 2008, Free State High’s volleyball team earned the No. 1 seed heading into its sub-state bracket. The Firebirds (31-6) will play eighth-seeded Wichita Southeast (2-30) around 2 p.m. Saturday at FSHS. The winner will face No. 4-seed Washburn Rural (24-14) or No. 5-seed Derby (25-15)

for a spot at state. The Firebirds are looking for their first Class 6A state tournament berth since 2004. Lawrence High’s volleyball team (12-25) is the seventh seed in its sub-state bracket and will open against No. 2 Olathe East at 5 p.m. Saturday at Olathe North. Third-seeded Olathe North (20-16) or sixthseeded Shawnee Mission Northwest (14-20) will play the winner.

The season going through January gives some hunters access to private lands they can’t hunt during deer seasons. Fall turkey hunting can be fun and exciting. Dogs are now legal in the fall season and more hunters are learning ways to use retriev-

ers and pointing dogs for turkeys. The past few falls, I’ve become consumed with hunting mature toms in the fall and winter. Mature toms coming to gobbler calls and submissive jake decoys have provided some great shows. I’ve shot strutting toms,

sometimes from big gobbler flocks, attacking the decoy in November, December and January. I’d hate to have to decide if I like January or April more when it comes to hunting turkeys. Hopefully, I’ll always be able to do both.

has caused chaos in the backfield by shedding blocks and flying to the ball to make tackles. Then there’s the passes swatted down at the line of scrimmage, pressure on pass plays and he even blocked a punt. “He’s been kind of the rock on that defense,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said of Unruh. “When you play our defense, you have to know where No. 7 is at all times because he can

cause havoc.” The biggest change for Unruh throughout the season was working on his speed to rush around offensive tackles and changing his technique for a better jump off of the ball. He’s noticed he’s drawing more attention by offensives via more blockers in his direction, but that hasn’t stopped him from making the most of his opportunities. “I think going one way,

his motor runs a lot hotter every snap instead of pacing himself,” Wedd said. “He got better last year but he’d take plays off. This year, he plays hard. He’s never not played hard, but he’s playing hard now.” During the past three years, the ultra-competitive Unruh always had one of the loudest voices on the team. It’s been that way since he was a kid, play-

ing in backyard football games and telling his friends that they needed to “strap down” for the next play because he hates to lose in anything. “Most of the time,” Unruh said, “people know that when I’m getting in their face, it’s just because I care and I want everyone to be successful on this team.” Unruh is thrilled with the defense’s progress throughout the season,

but his eyes are focused on the City Showdown. After a win last year and a loss during his sophomore year, he said this year is the tiebreaker. And his teammates know they certainly will hear his voice during the rivalry game. “He’s been a vocal leader since his sophomore year. It just took until his senior year for people to listen him,” Wedd joked. “He’s done a great job that way.”

tion last season, stands out among most offensive linemen because of his tenacity. Covering Crittenden’s blindside, Houk doesn’t just block — he punishes defenders. It was a natural transition to the varsity lineup last year and he’s only become more comfortable. Throughout his 12year playing career from youth football to senior year, Houk has lined up on the offensive line. “Fundamentally he’s good, but he’s a tough guy,” Free State coach Bob Lisher said. “He’s

going to hit you. He’s not going to lean on you, he’s going to hit you.” Houk was expected to earn a starting spot on the offensive line during his sophomore year, but he broke his left foot in three different places during the team’s first practice with pads — ending his year. Along with the frustration of a season-ending injury, it cost him a chance to play on the offensive line alongside his brother, Coleman, who started at center. “I know my parents,

my whole family wanted to see that,” Houk said. “I kind of felt like I was letting them down, but I know I wasn’t. They assured me of that. It would’ve been great. I really loved watching him.” Rehabbing from his broken foot, Houk spent his time in the weight room working on his upper body strength. That included a lot of time on the bench press. When he returned to the field, he put it on himself to become one of the team’s leaders. When senior Jay Dineen moved

to the offensive line for the first time in his life, Houk was there to offer support in games. This season, Houk helped junior right tackle Spencer Roe learn the playbook after transferring from Perry-Lecompton. “I remember last year, a couple of games where I just had to tell (Dineen) what to do every play,” Houk said with a smile. “Other than that, he’s got it down now.” Similar to the creed that he recalls before games, he’s just willing

to do whatever it takes to help his team win games. On a four-game winning streak, Houk said the team “isn’t content” because they haven’t played their best. The offensive line does the grunt work without much of the glory. Houk continues to show up first for practice and he helps the defense by lining up with the scout team offense. “He pushes everybody to do the best that they can do,” Crittenden said. “That’s just a leadership thing.”
