Lawrence and Kansas University transit leaders are considering a parking lot in front of KU’s Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center as the site for a new central transfer hub. The idea was brought up in a memo to Lawrence city commissioners, who will officially receive the information CITY at their meetCOMMISSION ing today. Robert Nugent, the city’s transit administrator, said he wrote the memo because today, KU officials will present the commission with an update on the university’s Central District — an area no longer being considered as an option for the transit hub. “It’s a good time to tell people, tell commissioners, that we’re not looking at the Central District anymore,” Nugent said. “We’re looking somewhere else. There’s no confirmation of whether we’ll build there, but we’re continuing to look for places in that general area.” Commissioners will not be asked to take action regarding the location. Nugent said KU and city officials would next take a closer look at the property. Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU’s parking and transit department, said it’s still “months or a year off” before anything is definite. “It’s just in the earliest stages, but we want to get everyone on board with the idea,” Kaiser said. Transit leaders are proposing the facility be a parking deck with the first floor serving as a transit center. The facility would take up about 2 acres, equating to between one-fourth and one-third of the parking lot, Lot 90. It’s proposed that the center be located in the northeastern section of the lot — near the intersection of Watkins Center Drive and Schwegler Drive — so it’s “closer to the core of activity,” Kaiser said. KU has already identified the location as needing more parking. Kaiser said the university’s master plan calls for the installation of a parking deck at that spot. Please see TRANSIT, page 2A

Douglas County Judge Peggy Kittel said she had a child in her courtroom last week who has been in the custody of the state’s child welfare system for two years. That’s not unusual for children who’ve been victims of abuse or neglect at home. What is unusual — or at least used to be — is that in that relatively short period of time, that one child has had seven different case managers working to either resolve the problems at home or find a permanent residential placement.

2 win Royals tickets in talk show’s contest By Caitlin Doornbos and Sara Shepherd Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos and @saramarieshep

nspired by game one of the World Series taking place today in Kansas City, Mo., “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” came to the Kansas University campus Monday to drum up some team spirit. Specifically, Royals spirit. Though DeGeneres herself didn’t make the trip, representatives and camera crews from her show set up shop at the bottom of KU’s Campanile hill Monday afternoon and filmed scenes that will air on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” today

Low: 47

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” airs at 4 p.m. weekdays on KMBC-TV Channel 9. prior to the baseball game. Hundreds of KU students and community members showed up to cheer on the Royals for the cameras — many dressed as various versions of kings, queens, princesses and Royals baseball stars for a chance to win prizes from the show. Tweets by DeGeneres — who claims a cool 49 million Twitter followers — started

Saturday and, little by little, revealed more about what her show was doing on campus, when and where. On Saturday afternoon: “Hey, everybody at the University of Kansas, if you’re as excited as I am about the World Series, I hope you’re free on Monday.” On Sunday afternoon, a tweet indicated an event would happen around noon. Just before noon Monday, she tweeted: “Be at the hill in front of the Campanile Memorial at 3pm today. You won’t be sorry. Let’s play ball.” Please see ELLEN, page 2A

SCHOOL BOARD

Traffic change proposals reviewed By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence school board reviewed proposed changes to school traffic flow at seven schools — including the possibility of making streets near two schools one-way — in response to community concerns. Factors such as the school bond construction projects, boundary changes and new building orientation have prompted changes, explained Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the school district. “All those different components create different challenges for us to think through and respond to,” Hayden told the school board at its meeting Monday night.

“It’s really a win-win,” he said. “One of the most efficient ways of building a transit center is doing it as part of a parking garage development. And Lot 90 has been a longtime future site of a parking garage.” Lawrence Transit System has been searching for a location for its central hub for more than two years. According to Nugent’s memo, commissioners directed transit leaders to look to the Central District after they rejected a proposal in July to locate the hub at 21st Street and Stewart Avenue. Nugent said there were traffic concerns with putting the center in that area. KU’s Central District is the part of campus within 19th Street to the south, Iowa Street to the west and 15th Street to the north. Kaiser said Lot 90, located just east of Naismith Drive, is not quite in its bounds. KU’s plan for the Central District includes the addition of new student housing, retail, science buildings, a multi-modal path and the redevelopment of Burge Union. Nugent said traffic at the intersections of Irving Hill Road and Naismith Drive, 18th Street and Irving Hill Road, and Sunnyside Avenue and Naismith Drive causes

“all kinds of problems.” The memo states the issues would make it “difficult, if not impossible” to locate a facility there. Part of the idea for a hub in Lot 90 is rebuilding 18th Street, as well as one block of either Arkansas or Missouri streets, one of which would act as another access point. Naismith Drive, south of Sunnyside Avenue, “is a little wider and designed for a little more traffic flow than some of the streets in the Central District are going to be,” Kaiser said. Because it’s early in the process, an estimated timeline and budget for the project is not yet known, Nugent said. According to the memo, if given the go-ahead, KU and city transit staff would look into applying for a Federal Transit Administration grant for the project in early 2016. Through that grant, the federal government pays 80 percent of costs for the facility and roadwork, and the local government would be required to pay the remainder. But, Nugent said, this is only what they’re suggesting for now. “We at least wanted to say we’re not looking there (the Central District) right now,” Nugent said. “We’re looking somewhere else. We could look there again, though. We don’t know where this trek is going to bring us.” — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

Cameras didn’t actually start rolling until 4:45 p.m., but fans began flocking to the Campanile hill as early as 11:30 a.m. Terrie Johnson of Olathe arrived around noon dressed like DeGeneres herself — suspenders, bow tie, dark-rimmed glasses and spiky blond hair. Johnson, who said she came out as LGBT three years ago and struggled with some of the repercussions, said she was greatly inspired by DeGeneres. “This is my lifelong dream,” she said. “I want to be on her show. I have a story.” Sisters Lynne and Laura Oyler, of Lawrence, arrived about four hours before the show began taping, decked out in Royals gear. But at 3 p.m., “Ellen DeGeneres Show” correspondent Jeannie Klisiewicz threw the crowd a curveball, telling them to go change into royalty costumes. “Ellen wants creativity. I would advise going home and getting all dressed up,” Klisiewicz said. “You cannot win without being dressed up.” Lynne Oyler, a KU freshman, saved their front-row spot as Laura Oyler, a KU junior, ran to their mother, Caryn Oyler’s dance studio, Dazzlers Christian Dance, 925 Iowa St., for princess costumes. As Laura Oyler left, more students, donning everything from a princess wedding dress to a Sasquatch costume with a makeshift crown, started appearing in droves. The sisters made it back in time to wear their gowns and crowns long enough to be selected as potential contestants, but did not make it to the final round. Instead, the show selected KU students Mary Grace Adkins, Madison Wolfe and PJ Gustafson, Johnson County Community College student Lauren Gordon and KU Admissions representative Danny Woods to compete. DeGeneres herself spoke with the five contestants via video chat and asked them to first play a game of “dizzy bat,” by spinning around with their foreheads to the ends of five baseball bats. When DeGeneres said “Stop,” the first two contestants to grab a baseball from Klisiewicz would move on. Gordon and Gustafson won the first round, then competed against each other in a Simon Says-style stein-holding competition led by DeGeneres. “Cheers your partner without spilling,” DeGeneres ordered the contestants. “Now, wave like a princess.” Ultimately, Gordon spilled, leaving Gustafson the winner. Gustafson took home two World Series tickets and two field passes for today’s game, in which the Royals will take on the New York Mets. Not wanting to leave competitors emptyhanded, DeGeneres gave Gordon a pair of World Series tickets as well, and the rest of the finalists received gift cards. Nine crowd-members also won one-year subscriptions to Hulu after the filming ended. Other featured guests slated for today’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show” are singer Carrie Underwood and comedian Will Forte.

Find a mediator to start rebuilding relationships Dear Annie: My father has a bunch of serious medical problems. We’ve never been close. Dad was a heavy drinker and always yelled at me. He was extremely rude, critical, sarcastic and angry all the time, for no reason. Once, he threw me out of a slow-moving car. I’ve attempted suicide three times, and Dad refused to visit me in the hospital. I’m still angry about this. I suspect he could pass away soon, and I would like to have some meaningful dialogues before that happens. I also have a terrible secret I’d like to tell him before he dies. Since his health problems started, Dad has changed for the better, but we still rarely talk to each other. How do I begin to tell him my secret? — Scared Son

Dear Scared Son: Since you and Dad have such a hard time communicating, it might help to bring in a third party to facilitate the initial conversation — perhaps an understanding relative, mutual friend or clergyperson. You can always start by telling him you care about him and worry about his health. However, we have to wonder why you are so desperate to tell him a “terrible secret.” It doesn’t sound

Get ‘Wicked’ in 1980s Los Angeles The latest TV series to return to the 1980s, “Wicked City” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14) sports a killer soundtrack and an uninspired title, but rises above mere nostalgia to offer viewers a compelling thriller. ‘‘Law & Order” alumnus Jeremy Sisto stars as Detective Jack Roth, following the trail of carnage left by an attention-seeking sicko Kent Grainger (Ed Westwick). Kent uses smooth pickup lines and a hint of empathy to stand out at singles bars and the Whisky A Go Go, circa 1982, where an unseen Billy Idol is performing throughout most of the pilot. Over the course of the hour, Kent crosses paths with striving rock journalist Karen McClaren (Taissa Farmiga) as well as Betty Beaumontaine (Erika Christensen), a nurse and single mother won over by his professed love for children, as well as his peculiar ways of showing affection. Westwick is quite convincing and borderline sympathetic as the series’ central psycho killer. (Too bad that Talking Heads song is from the ‘70s!) Sisto’s Roth is also a tad complicated. He’s seen with a pretty wife and teenage daughter as well as engaged in some “undercover” work with fetching women on the wrong side of the law. He’s also saddled with a partner, Paco Contreras (Gabriel Luna), who he can’t stand and doesn’t trust. Could that be because Contreras is so fluent with those newfangled personal computers? The 1980s outfits and music set this apart from your usual procedural. But “Wicked City” never descends into mere fashion show. We just have to imagine a world before minivans, when there was only one phone company. Think of it: The murder victims here will never live to hear Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Sometimes, the living do envy the dead!

Tonight’s other highlights l Miss Piggy spats with Reese Witherspoon on “The Muppets” (7:30 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). l A petty officer’s demise takes the fun out of a fun run on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l Knockouts continue on “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC, TVPG). l The experimental drug begins to take its toll on “Limitless” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l Evidence emerges that might clear Boden on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). l A petty officer is reassigned to pushing-daisies duty on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS, TVPG). l Frantic efforts to entertain on “Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

as if you seek his counsel on the matter, only that you are trying to unburden yourself at his expense. Examine your motives. If telling Dad will bring him some peace of mind and make your relationship better, go ahead. Otherwise, please discuss your secret with someone who can be of assistance or support. Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-old junior in high school and get invited to various parties. One girl, “Sarah,” likes to show R-rated movies. Annie, I am extremely uncomfortable with the content of these movies, but Sarah says she’s doing me a favor by making me watch them. The synopses of some of these films make me physically ill.

BRIEFLY Kline suit lands in Oklahoma court Wichita â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal judge in Oklahoma will handle the lawsuit filed by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline over the indefinite suspension of his law license related to his investigation of abortion clinics. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten ordered on Monday removal of the case from federal court in Kansas, where it was filed. The case was transferred to U.S. District Judge Ronald White in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The move comes with the approval of Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Kline sued the Kansas Supreme Court justices and others connected with the 2013 license suspension. He claims his punishment was toughened because of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;fervid beliefsâ&#x20AC;? against abortion. Kline contends the court selectively applied rules governing attorney conduct.

If you are not familiar with Qdoba, its claim to fame is that it is kind of a super-sized Chipotle. The store wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much bigger than a Chipotle, but the menu seems to be broader. Qdoba offers Missionstyle burritos that you can eat with your hands, smothered burritos that you can eat with your hands and a garden hose, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, taco salads, kids meals and even something called Mexican Gumbo, which is very fun because it allows you to speak Spanish with a Cajun accent. Some of you may remember that Qdoba previously was in Lawrence (I believe it occupied the downtown spot that now houses Ingredient). That set up a showdown between Qdoba and Chipotle, which has a store just down Massachusetts Street. Qdoba closed that restaurant, I believe in

Justice Dept. sues Housing Authority Kansas City, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Justice Department sued the Kansas City, Kan., Housing Authority and a former hearing officer Monday over sexual harassment claims. Victor L. Hernandez is accused in the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., of exposing himself in 2013 while he was a hearing officer to a woman seeking public housing and another woman facing eviction. The suit also claimed that Hernandez asked the two women sexual questions and showed them pornographic pictures and videos. Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., spokesman Edwin Birch said the city had no jurisdiction over the housing authority and referred questions to the agency. No one from the housing authority immediately returned a phone message left after hours on Monday. Hernandez, who left the agency in January 2014, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a listed phone number, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Menu items there include a lot of seafood, shrimp dishes, poâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;boy sandwiches, and a category they call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voodoo Pasta.â&#x20AC;? Plans call for the location to also feature quite a bit of live music, including jazz, blues and Dixieland performers.

erations of eXplore Lawrence, which is tasked with attracting visitors to Lawrence. Gilliland said the CVB started receiving applications a few weeks ago. The position closes in early November. The seven-member governing board that will select the next director will be established sometime in November, Gilliland said. Volunteers for the board are currently being accepted on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. It will include one representative each from Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural, sports and recreation and service/event management industries. A city commissioner, a representative from an educational institution and two employees from local hotels would take the other four positions. Members will be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the City Commission. Jody Craig, chairman of the Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier board, said the organization was close to selecting its new director after a nationwide search. The goal of Free-

domâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier is to bring awareness to the struggles during the Civil War era in 29 eastern Kansas counties and 12 counties in western Missouri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we may be approaching the last inning,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close. If all goes well, we will probably have someone selected before this year is out.â&#x20AC;? Both Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier and eXplore Lawrence have headquarters in Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnegie Building. Craig said that location â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the cooperation between the two organizations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would continue for the foreseeable future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in the same space; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still able to talk to each other on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They share thoughts and ideas about different events or elements of their work. They still talk and try to work together. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate that changing.â&#x20AC;? Both entities were allocated funding in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 budget. Gilliland said eXplore Lawrence is slated to receive $880,000, and Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier $90,000. Last year, when both organizations were under

the umbrella of Destination Management Inc. and shared a director, they received a total of $860,000, said Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay. The increase in 2016 is for both organizations to have their own directors, Toomay said. Gilliland said eXplore Lawrence also requested more funding for an additional salesperson to grow events that would generate transient guest tax dollars for the city. The $90,000 allocated to Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier includes $30,000 that will be programmed into its budget in 2016 and 2017 to help the organization develop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that extra $30,000 was given with the understanding that maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d receive it for one or two years to help them get on their own feet as a separate entity from eXplore Lawrence,â&#x20AC;? Toomay said. Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier, through Destination Management Inc., will still be able to apply for funding from the city in coming years, Toomay said.

The process to make changes to traffic flow near schools involves the city, the school district, the Traffic Safety Commission, community meetings and traffic studies. Any changes are ultimately presented to the City Commission for final review. At Cordley Elementary, 1837 Vermont St., the main concern is parking and traffic flow on Vermont Street, said Ron May, director of administrative services. The changes being considered near Cordley include posting “no parking” signs and making traffic only southbound on Vermont Street. There will be a community meeting to discuss potential changes at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the school, he said. “We are hearing a lot of different concerns,” May said, adding that city planners will attend the meeting and then create a formal proposal to send to the Traffic Safety Commission.

be closed for the entirety of the project for safety. The City Commission and the Pinckney Neighborhood Association are requesting the tunnel remain open and a fence be constructed that guides pedestrians from the tunnel to the sidewalk, May said. Pat Miller, president of the PNA, attended Monday’s meeting to make a public comment in favor of keeping the tunnel accessible. Miller said that while safety at the construction site is extremely important, she would like the tunnel to be closed only when needed, as opposed to for the entirety of the project. Miller said that the neighborhood is a pedestrian and biking community, and without the tunnel there are as many as seven blocks between crosswalks on Sixth Street. “The tunnel provides really safe access for our younger children, for bicycles, for all sorts of people,” she said. Hayden said a community meeting for Pinckney is not yet scheduled, and notifications will be sent once the date of the meeting is determined. Changes proposed at the other school sites include: l At Kennedy Elementary, 1605 Davis Road, the school’s entrance has been relocated to the southeast side of the building. The district has put in a request to move the crosswalk and cross-

ing guard from its location on David Road to one closer to main entrance, May said. l At New York Elementary, 936 New York St., the possibility of changing traffic to oneway on two streets — making New Jersey Street southbound and New York Street northbound — will be considered. A traffic study in conjunction with the East Ninth Project will be completed by the city to determine changes, May said. l At Broken Arrow Elementary and South Middle School, 2704 Louisiana St. and 2734 Louisiana St., a traffic study has been completed to determine whether temporary three-way stops near the schools will remain in place, Hayden said. A community meeting during which time the results of the traffic study will be released to the public is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at South. l At Sunset Hill Elementary, 901 Schwarz Road, a boundary change next year will send some students north of Sixth Street to the school. The district has put in a request for an additional crossing guard at Sixth Street, May said. The next school board meeting will be Nov. 9 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

epublicans in Kansas are expressing growing dissatisfaction with U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, according to one recent poll, but it’s not yet clear whether he will face the same kind of re-election trouble that his colleague Pat Roberts faced in 2014. Twenty-eight percent of people who call themselves “strong Republicans” said they are either very or somewhat dissatisfied with Moran, according to the latest “Kansas Speaks” survey by Fort Hays State University’s Docking Institute of Public Affairs. That’s up from 11 percent in 2013, the last time the Kansas Speaks survey asked the question the same way.

The sheriff’s office said the meeting “will cover issues related to

the Douglas County Correctional Facility including improvements to the facility and recommendations made from data collected over the past few months.” County commissioners began considering expanding the jail last year in response to the overall increase in inmates, especially noticeable in the women’s population. In 2013, the aver-

The following year, that number climbed to 31 women in jail per day — a jump of more than 50 percent — according the 2014 yearend jail report.

Veto threat

House power struggle continues By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Republican legislators say the governor’s veto threat essentially killed any effort to revise the state’s business tax exemption.

s Kansas legislators struggled to craft a balanced budget earlier this year, Gov. Sam Brownback publicly took a back seat, saying he wanted to respect the legislative process and wait to see what lawmakers came up with. But legislators knew that the governor didn’t want a budget that rolled back income tax cuts enacted in 2012. Near the end of the session, Brownback made that point clear by sending Secretary of Revenue Nick Jordan to formally tell Republican legislators that the governor would veto any budget/tax plan that reduced the tax break for Kansas business owners. A couple of Republican legislators from Overland Park recalled the impact of that threat last week during the Kansas Economic Policy Conference at Kansas University. Many legislators recognized that the business tax cuts approved in 2012 went too far, said Sen. Jim Denning and Rep. Melissa Rooker, and were willing to look at revisions, but Brownback’s veto threat closed the door on that discussion. Legislators eventually cobbled together a package of spending cuts and tax increases to close the budget hole. “I think that if the veto threat were off the table, we could have had a pretty honest discussion of how we can re-balance the tax code,” Rooker said. If legislators believed changes to the tax code were needed, they could have taken a stand, approved changes and forced the governor to make good on his veto threat, but many legislators weren’t willing to risk angering their own constituents for what almost certainly would be a lost cause. “I know we had enough votes in both chambers to fix it (the business tax exemption),” Denning said. “But with a veto threat, nobody’s willing to make a vote that doesn’t succeed.” This debate shouldn’t be over. The nonpartisan Legislative Research Department estimates the business tax exemption is costing the state about $200 million a year in revenue. That will be combined over the next several years with the elimination of the top income tax bracket and lower rates in the remaining two brackets, a move that is estimated to cost the state another $500 million a year in tax revenue. Nonetheless, a spokeswoman for Brownback said in an email last week that the governor “will not support raising taxes on small business.” Denning remained hopeful that the business tax exemption would be considered during the 2016 legislative session. One possibility would be to roll back the exemption and use the savings to lower the state sales tax on food, a proposal he said “would be very hard to vote against.” That may be true, but even if legislators vote in favor of such a proposal, it only takes one veto from the governor to kill the plan. At least if that veto is used, the people of Kansas will know exactly whom to blame.

Less than a year ago, after Republicans rolled up big majorities in the 2014 congressional elections, their leaders set out to show the nation that conservatives were up to the challenge of governing. “The logjam in Washington has been broken,” House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declared. “We will make it our job to prove the skeptics wrong.” So far, alas, the skeptics have been right. The GOP’s big majority in the House became a curse, not a blessing; little of the legislation that Boehner and McConnell sought has passed. Instead, the GOP’s zealously conservative Freedom Caucus pushed Boehner out of office and blocked the rise of his chosen successor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “We are not solving the country’s problems; we are only adding to them,” Rep. Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., acknowledged last week as he announced his decision to seek the speaker’s chair. By all accounts, Ryan is likely to win the job easily. Last week, he won supRyan’s port from all three House faces wings of the House’s factionalized Rea series of publicans. That will daunting give him a chance to tests, the start over. same tough “We can show the fiscal issues country what a comconserthat divided mon-sense vative agenda looks Republicans like,” he told his colleagues. under Still, Ryan faces Boehner.” the same challenge that brought down Boehner and McCarthy: the Freedom Caucus, which not only spurns bipartisan compromises but has made its first goal to purge the GOP of its moderates.

“

Ryan too moderate? And, amazingly, some Freedom Caucus members consider Ryan, a thoroughgoing conservative by any traditional definition, to be dangerously moderate too. Never mind that Mitt Romney chose Ryan as his running mate in 2012 because the congressman had championed bills to slash domestic spending and turn Medicare into a voucher plan. Ultras in the Freedom Caucus distrust Ryan because, as chairman of the House’s tax-writing committee, he made a bipartisan budget deal to keep the government running in 2013. (Any deal had to be bipartisan because the Democrats had a majority in the Senate that year.) Others worry because he long supported bipartisan efforts for comprehensive immigration reform, even though he’s abandoned that goal in the face of grass-roots opposition. One even derided Ryan for wanting to preserve time to spend with his young family. “It’s like interviewing

a maid for a job and she says, ‘I don’t clean windows,’” Rep. Matt Salmon, RAriz., told the Hill. Remarkably, Ryan met these truculent revolutionaries halfway, even though he was already the choice of most House Republicans. The Freedom Caucus demanded changes in House rules to reduce the speaker’s power; Ryan agreed that the GOP conference should consider their ideas. The caucus asked him to promise that he would never allow a floor vote on any measure unless a majority of Republicans supported it (the “Hastert Rule”); Ryan agreed. And the Freedom Caucus rejected Ryan’s proposal to change a rule that allows a single member to call for a vote to remove the speaker, a weapon it used against Boehner. Ryan agreed to postpone the issue. It was a remarkable process. The Freedom Caucus, with less than onefifth of GOP members in its ranks, won concessions from a man most other Republicans considered their only viable candidate for the job. Still, beneath his show of flexibility, Ryan appeared to be pursuing a pragmatic strategy of divide and conquer, a course that might enable him to defuse the Freedom Caucus as a constantly ticking time bomb.

Caucus unity may be fraying Ryan has the support of about twothirds of the Freedom Caucus’ members, a break from the group’s customary unity. Until now, the group has maintained its influence by wielding an undivided bloc of about 40 votes, just enough to deprive Boehner or any other speaker of his working majority. But as my colleague Lisa Mascaro pointed out in The Los Angeles Times last week, that unity is showing signs of fraying. At least two members recently quit the caucus, including Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., who publicly denounced the group’s hardball tactics as counterproductive. If Ryan can co-opt half or more of the Freedom Caucus’ members, the group’s leverage will erode. A divided

caucus won’t be able to take Speaker Ryan hostage the way it tormented Boehner and McCarthy. But making that strategy work won’t be easy. Ryan’s House faces a series of daunting tests, the same tough fiscal issues that divided Republicans under Boehner. Congress must raise the federal debt limit by Nov. 3; Boehner may stay in office just long enough to engineer a bipartisan vote with Democratic support, relieving Ryan of a headache. But soon after that, Congress must pass a funding bill to keep the government running after Dec. 11. And then Congress turns to the budget, in search of a two-year deal that would last past the 2016 presidential election. All three measures will almost certainly need President Obama’s signature to pass, which means GOP leaders will need to compromise somewhere.

Outside pressures If Ryan becomes the House’s negotiator in chief, he’ll have to make those deals under ferocious outside pressure. Conservative talk show hosts, including Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, have already denounced him as a dangerous moderate. Tea party organizations are already raising money from supporters with appeals to stop any more Ryanesque budget deals. The GOP presidential campaign will complicate the new speaker’s life too. Already, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has demanded that the House include the complete repeal of Obama’s health care plan in any budget deal, a reprise of his demand that touched off a 16-day government shutdown in 2013. “Whatever our differences, we’re all conservatives,” Ryan told House Republicans last week. His election as speaker may give his party a moment of unity, but it will also open a new phase in the unfinished battle over the GOP’s soul. The members of the Freedom Caucus haven’t promised him a honeymoon; only a truce. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. His email address is doyle. mcmanus@latimes.com.

PUBLIC FORUM

Imaginative plan To the editor: Who is managing the city’s “traffic imagineering department”? Who is responsible to the public for the actions of this seemingly distressed city department? Let’s look at the extension east of the “new” 31st Street. A four-lane street is diverted into two one-lane roads (with plenty of wide sidewalks on both sides that go nowhere). I guess this is an example of the city’s new politically popular notion of “road diets” (read “road obstruction” for those horrible “fossil-fueled vehicles”). Let’s look at the “new” intersection of Haskell Avenue and the “new” 31st Street. There is a fork in the road going south, the left lane going to a traffic light. (I thought that traffic lights and stop signs were “verboten” in the new era of road excellence in Lawrence.) The right lane, (which you will miss if you are not aware; there is no signage) goes to another no-no: a “stop sign intersection.” I wonder why they did not find a way to drop two or three of those politically popular European fad “roundabouts” into this mix. It seems they missed another great chance to obstruct fossil-fuel traffic here. You have to wonder. It seems that road planning in Lawrence is accomplished by someone tossing wet spaghetti at a road map. Fred Whitehead Jr., Lawrence

Neighborhood issue To the editor: This regards the recent Journal-World staff blog “Battle brewing in East Lawrence Neighborhood Association.” A new group of folks does seem to want to make this ELNA election all about East Ninth, and sometimes it appears as a pro-

versus-con situation, but this just isn’t true. A little secret: The current and previous ELNA boards have not come out in favor of or in opposition to East Ninth. What the ELNA boards have done is advocated for neighborhood participation, distributed information, hosted numerous gatherings (some with third-party moderators,) and provided a public space for document review and discussion with project leaders. As individuals of the board, we have various takes on East Ninth, just like our neighborhood. But as a group, it isn’t our job to shove this project down our neighbors’ throats, nor is it to spread contempt and try to kill it. It is our job to communicate and to create a space where voices and viewpoints can find compassion. The board also does so much more and can’t be reduced to this solitary issue. The Yart Sale, block party, neighborhood cleanups, adopt-a-family, paper newsletters, an e-newsletter, a website, an active Facebook page and more all are done in the interest of our mission to take care of our people by connecting as a community. I am proud of who we are as the ELNA board, and what we accomplish. If you have questions, contact me. If you live in the neighborhood, see you at the election on Nov. 2. Aaron Paden, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 27, 1915: years “The festive ago and frolicsome IN 1915 University undergraduates broke loose from restraint shortly after midnight last night, and the racket which ensued kept a good proportion of the people in the University section of town awake for two or three hours after that.... Almost at the start of the celebration there was a fire alarm at 1400 Tennessee street which is believed to have been sent in by students. The fire department made a run out to the address indicated and found a big bonfire burning in the street.... Who the instigator of the midnight celebration was has not been learned, but just how he did it is well known over a large area. It all started when a student on a downtown street let out a wild ki-oodle which echoed over a large part of the town through the still air. The yell was immediately taken up in the student district and soon the street was filled with celebrators. It is thought that the students were tuning up the big rally which will precede the departure of the University team for Norman tomorrow night.”

A ‘frustrating’ system In Kansas, the Department for Children and Families is the state agency in charge of looking after the welfare of children who are taken into state custody because of abuse or neglect at home. Several years ago, however, Kansas privatized its child welfare services, which means DCF now contracts with private, nonprofit social service agencies to provide case management services. In Douglas County, that contract is handled by KVC Behavioral Healthcare. “We don’t want to throw KVC under the bus,” Frederick said. “They’re working very hard. We all care about the kids. It’s frustrating for them; it’s frustrating for us; and it’s frustrating for the children and families because it does have a domino effect.” KVC Behavioral Healthcare Kansas president Chad Anderson said he doesn’t think the problem in Douglas County is any worse than it is elsewhere. “In the last six months, we’ve looked at our turnover rate,” he said. “Nationally, turnover for child welfare is 40 (percent) to 60 percent. We track that on a consistent basis.” DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed said the same problem is occurring in other parts of the state as well. “Child welfare agencies and organizations all across the state are experiencing a shortage of social workers,” she said. “We’re seeing fewer people entering this field and applying for (and) accepting positions. DCF is actively working to steer individuals into the so-

cial work profession. We are also in the process of implementing measures to retain current staff in this area — such as offering incentives.”

Unlicensed workers Freed said one of the strategies DCF is using is “to broaden our hiring options, so that professionals who may have greater education and experience in the field of child welfare can serve Kansas families alongside our social workers.” But others say what that means is that KVC and other agencies are now using unlicensed employees, known as “family support workers,” to do much of the work that was previously reserved for licensed social workers. Case managers have a wide range of duties in the child welfare system. But their basic job is to assess a child’s situation and needs, and draft a plan for resolving the case. In most cases, the goal is to return the child to his or her parents, but in some cases the goal may be to find adoptive parents. The plan may call for such things as medical or mental health care for the child, as well as substance abuse treatment or other kinds of therapy for one or both of the parents. Case managers are also responsible for keeping in touch with the family, monitoring progress toward completing the plan, and in many cases writing reports and providing testimony in court. “Family support workers have been doing the bulk of case management. They just don’t write reports for court,” said Jody Meyer, a Lawrence attorney who works as a court-appointed attorney for children in the court system. “Once (licensed social workers) start working over there, they realize how much work is involved and they end up quitting. “I have been doing this type of work for eight years, and it’s probably as bad as I’ve ever seen it during that time period in terms of turnover,” Meyer said. “The turnover is really bad.” — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

and they’re thrown into fire immediately.” Frederick said when her agency trains new volunteers, she tells them not to be surprised if they have to make a dozen or more phone calls just to get in touch with a case manager, and that they may have to deal with a different case manager every time they do get in touch. “We have CASA volunteers who’ve been assigned to one kid for years, but they’ve dealt with many different case managers,” she said.

More kids, more stress According to state figures, there were, on average, 6,517 children in the state’s foster care system at any given time in the last fiscal year, down slightly from the previous year. But since 2011, there have been more children coming into the system each month than have been exiting, either through adoption, reuniting with their families or “aging out” of the system. Frederick said that has put a strain on all parts of the child welfare system, but the strain falls most heavily on the social workers who work on the front lines. “You’ve got tight funding issues in the state,” she said. “Their case managers are spread thin,

“They’re barely getting through training, some of them, before they leave,” Kittel said. “I don’t know if they’re overwhelmed by the type of cases we’re dealing with, or if their case loads are too high, or they’re not getting enough support. I cannot pinpoint the reason why it’s happening. But it’s affecting our ability to help these families in crisis.” At a time when a nearrecord number of children are being placed in foster care in Kansas, local officials say, social service agencies are having an increasingly difficult time hiring and retaining social workers to help them and their families get the services they need. And that’s causing children to stay in the system even longer, putting an even greater strain on the resources of the courts and the agencies that serve children in need of care. “There just has been an extraordinary amount of turnover, and that does affect the children and families that we serve,” said Diana Frederick, executive director of Douglas County CASA, the agency that provides volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates for children taken into state custody. CASA volunteers are usually not attorneys, nor are they licensed social workers. Their job is to advocate, both in court and with state welfare officials, for the best interests of a child as the child’s case is moving through the system.

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION HIGH-SPEED CHASES

FBI understates police deaths in chases Thomas Frank USA TODAY

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has drastically understated the number of police killed in high-speed chases, counting only 24 deaths since 1980, despite records showing that at least 371 officers were killed in vehicle pursuits through 2014, a USA TODAY analysis shows. USA TODAY reviewed U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) data of fatal vehicle crashes and records of officer deaths maintained by two private police-memorial groups, the Officer Down Memorial Page and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The death tally is 15 times the number of chase-related deaths than the FBI has counted, and makes chases the fifth-leading cause of police deaths.

The undercount is one of the most extreme examples of the federal government’s inability to accurately track violent deaths and has led the FBI to minimize the danger of police chasing motorists, often at high speeds and in dangerous conditions, at a time when many police departments are restricting or considering restricting vehicle pursuits. “The fact that these numbers have been undercounted further emphasizes the magnitude of the problem and the need for sensible restrictions on pursuit driving,” said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a think tank on law enforcement. The FBI did not dispute USA TODAY’s findings and said it started taking steps in 2010 to improve its count of officers killed in police pursuits. The inaccurate count results

Ingham County (Mich.) Sheriff deputies and emergency crews work the scene after a deputy was killed during a Dec. 7 chase. from the FBI’s decision to label almost all cases of police killed in chases as “automobile accidents.” That means officers killed in high-speed chases are typically placed in the same category as officers killed in vehicle crashes during routine patrols. “If they’re putting out warnings about dangerous activities,

they ought to call these (chase-related) deaths what they are, not some general category,” said researcher Geoffrey Alpert of the University of South Carolina. Police make up a small portion of the deaths in chases, which in the past 35 years have killed at least 11,500 people, roughly onequarter of them innocent by-

standers and another quarter passengers in fleeing cars, USA TODAY reported in July after analyzing DOT records. The newspaper reported in September that the DOT vastly understated the total number of deaths related to chases in 2013, prompting the department to review its records. In September 2012, an FBI bulletin warned police of the danger of trying to stop a fleeing vehicle by laying spikes across a road to deflate its tires. But by then, at least 20 officers had been killed while deploying the spikes, with the deaths starting in 1996 shortly after spikes came into use. Contributing: Mark Hannan

As first responders pulled neighbors from the rubble of the magnitude-7.5 earthquake and doctors tallied the death toll Monday evening, many people across South Asia feared more destruction if the ground shakes again. “People are frightened about aftershocks,” said Alishiyah Ghishkori, 47, a woman in the Af-

ghan capital of Kabul. “We’ve no place to hide. It is cold as hell, but we have to sleep outside tonight due to fear of aftershocks. We heard about that during the Nepal earthquake.” Twin earthquakes devastated Nepal earlier this year. After one struck in April, another occurred in May as survivors began to piece their lives back together. Monday’s quake in northern Afghanistan and Pakistan could be felt from Kabul to New Delhi. More than 260 people died, and the death toll is expected to climb. “South Asian countries were still rehabilitating from the Nepal earthquake that shook us,” said Haider Rizvi, 44, a resident of the city of Mingora in Swat

Relish your health? Ditch the dog Cancer risk declared on eve of World Series Erik Brady and Gabe Lacques USA TODAY Sports

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, sure — but, please, no hot dogs. Those things are more dangerous than a Matt Harvey fastball. On the eve of the World Series, the World Health Organization’s cancer research arm said Monday that processed meats are a carcinogen, suggesting that 50 grams per day, such as a couple of slices

of bacon, increases colon cancer risk by 18%. So when the Series opens in Kansas City — Royals vs. New York Mets — you might think twice before chomping a Kansas City-style dog with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. Although, to hear Janet Riley tell it, go ahead and enjoy. Officially, she’s president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council; unofficially, she goes by Queen of Wien. “Our reaction is that this is a huge and alarmist overreach to some very weak data,” Riley tells USA TODAY Sports. “We believe there is absolutely insufficient

science to support this and that hot dogs continue to be a healthy part of a balanced diet.” Her council estimated before the season that baseball fans would eat more than 18.5 million hot dogs and nearly 4.2 million sausages this season. Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University, says the occasional frank is fine, calling it a once-in-a-while food. Mets pitcher Jon Niese says fans don’t come to ballparks to watch what they eat. “That’s why I love baseball and all sports — kind of a way to get away from reality

Daljeet Chaudhary, 61, a farmer from the Swat countryside, was in his field when the earthquake hit. Open land — away from structures — can be one of the safest places during an earthquake. His neighbors weren’t so lucky. “I seriously believe that at least five people have been killed in my neighbor’s house,” he said. Rashid Khan Haider, 54, a folk

singer from Parwan near Kabul, said he fled his home moments before it collapsed. When the quake began, he thought a terrorist attack was underway, he said. “Within a few moments I got the idea that it is something else,” he said. “Thanks to Allah that we are safe, but our house was ruined like a house of cards.” “We appear so weak and vulnerable in the face of natural disasters,” said Nayyar Afaq, a doctoral student in physics at Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. “Still we can at least develop awareness what to do in such a situation.” Mohan reported from New Delhi.

WHALE WATCHING DEATHS ‘UNUSUAL’ CHAD HIPOLITO, AP

Canadian Coast Guard crew arrive at a dock in Tofino, Canada, early Monday after a searchand-rescue operation for a whale-watching boat that capsized off Vancouver Island.

Experts say the lucrative industry is normally a safe one Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

The deaths of five British nationals on a Canadian whalewatching tour is a rare black eye for a multibillion-dollar industry that experts say generally operates safely, giving millions of tourists annually an up-close view of the world’s largest animals. Five British nationals died Sunday when the Leviathan II capsized off the coast of Vancouver Island, according to the United Kingdom government. Such incidents are rare in an industry with more than 3,000 operators around the globe, experts say. “It’s very, very unusual,” said Capt. James Staples, a ship’s master, instructor and maritime safety consultant. He said whale-watching passengers face greater risks tripping or slipping on wet decks than they do for drowning at sea. “It’s a very safe industry and very seldom do you ever hear of a major incident on any type of whalewatch vessel.”

Five British nationals died Sunday when the Leviathan II capsized off the coast of Vancouver Island. Whale-watching boats typically race toward the area where the massive animals are swimming. The boats then idle in place as passengers rush from side to side to snap photos and videos. Tour operators generally halt their propellers to remain at a distance from the whales, although the massive mammals often swim up to the boats. The movement of the passengers likely wouldn’t have been enough to flip a boat of that size, Staples said. Whale watching is a $2.1-billion-and-growing industry, serving more than 13 million tourists in 119 countries, according to a 2009 report by the International Fund For Animal Welfare. North America is the singlelargest market for whale watching; boats are certified by the U.S. or Canadian coast guards. Staples said coast guard regulations require licensed captains and crew,

along with safety equipment such as life jackets. The boats operate close to the coast or miles offshore, depending on where the whales are at any time. Where the whales are swimming typically dictates the size of the boats used. The Leviathan II, which was operating near the Vancouver Island coast, is 65 feet long and has a single hull. Whale-watching boats operating farther from shore often are much larger and have twin hulls, which makes them more stable in the waves. Given the generally calm weather conditions off Vancouver Island and the number of passengers aboard, Staples suspects a hull breach swamped the Leviathan II. “Something allowed the hull to fill with water, because the weather wasn’t that bad,” he said. Added Capt. Joseph Murphy II, a professor of marine transportation at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy: “This has to have been some form of sudden incident. My suspicion is that they got water in the engine room.” The company says the Leviathan II is crewed by Canadian-licensed sailors and certified by Transport Canada.

WASHINGTON Congressional leaders unveiled a tentative deal Monday to head off a looming budget crisis, raising the limit on the national debt and sketching a plan to fund the government for the next two years. The deal negotiated by the bipartisan congressional leadership and the White House would suspend the debt ceiling until March 2017, moving the next argument over the debt limit past the 2016 elections, said a congressional official who knows the details of the deal but who spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms had not been released publicly. The agreement would also set a two-year budget plan that would raise the strict government-wide spending limits — $520 billion for defense programs, $493 billion for non-defense — put in place by the 2011 “sequester.” The official said it would add $50 billion to those totals in the first year and $30 billion the year after, divided equally between defense and non-defense spending. The deal also would fund protection for senior citizens from a predicted spike in Medicare premiums next year, the official said, and would make changes to Social Security to achieve $168 billion in long-term savings. The deal would be the last major achievement for Speaker John Boehner, who plans to step down at the end of the week. He had said when he announced his retirement last month that he hoped to resolve some major outstanding issues before handing the speaker’s gavel to his successor, who will apparently be Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Congress faces a Nov. 3 deadline for raising the nation’s debt limit; beyond that point, the U.S. government would begin defaulting on debts, the Treasury Department warned. And the

short-term federal spending bill expires Dec. 11, raising the specter of another federal shutdown. House Republicans said Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, RCalif., told them in a closed meeting Monday, “Let’s declare success” by passing the deal. “We’ve had the outline of the deal offered to us, we’re now waiting to get the details,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. “Members are cautiously supportive, but they have a lot of questions.” Rules Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said Boehner and President Obama have been working on a deal for months. He said the deal will keep Congress on a path “to being careful with how much money we spend” because it offsets increases in spending. Rep. Mike Simpson. R-Idaho, said he would support it but wasn’t sure if it would pass the House. “I don’t know,” he kept repeating as he left the meeting. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, RGa., said he wanted to see details, such as dealing with the debt limit. “I can’t vote for something that spends money today and saves it 10 years from now,” he said. Some conservatives were more negative. “It’s emblematic of five years of failed leadership,” said Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., taking a swipe at Boehner.

At cheesesteak fest, many were left ‘witout’ Sharyn Flanagan @ShayTorie USA TODAY

I’ve got coworkers telling me about their grueling experiences at this past weekend’s Marine Corps Marathon in Northern Virginia. The hills, the heat and the challenges sound excruciating. But I had a bigger personal challenge: The first Philadelphia Cheesesteak Festival on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field. First, you must understand the passion of Philadelphians when it comes to cheesesteaks. It’s primal. There’s the tasty ribeye, the cheese, the onions. And let’s not forget the Italian rolls. The whole is so much greater than the sum of its parts. It’s just delectable. Don’t bother arguing over where to get the best one, because everyone has a different take. Many of the heavy hitters — Pat’s, Geno’s, Steve’s Prince of Steaks, Tony Luke’s, Dalessandro’s — brought their exquisite, mouthwatering concoctions to the event. Many of us thought it was amazing that the city had never before put on a festival to celebrate the sacred sandwich. One organizer, David Feldman, told me that more than 20,000 people showed up to check out what 40 cheesesteak vendors had to offer. The festival sold out two days before game time. For $20 you could get into the place; $40 netted you a T-shirt and 10 cheesesteak samples; and for $60 you got a T-shirt, 20 samples and VIP seating. Vouchers were available for purchase throughout the fairgrounds. Amid the ice buckets of tall beer cans that were being hawked everywhere were carnival games, two mechanical bull rides and a zipline. I know ... how does devouring tons of cheesesPHILADELPHIA

teak and drinking beer mix with bull riding and ziplining? Well, we were going to find out. The crowd was very diverse, reflecting the fact that the love of the greasy delicacy knows no racial or ethnic barriers. Everyone was ready to receive the beefy communion. Unfortunately, there was no one throwing food to the cheesesteak pilgrims as they waited in endlessly long lines as there was at the backed-up security queues during Pope Francis’ visit to the city in September. We could have used them. The stomach growls were unmistakable at the stadium grounds, home of the city’s beloved Philadelphia Eagles. First, let me break it down for the uninitiated. You can get your steak wit (with grilled onions) or witout. And you also get to specify which cheese you want. This issue can trigger serious emotions, so tread lightly. You can have a “plain” steak — no cheese — which is just plain stupid. Or you can have Cheez Whiz, provolone or American. And there’s a serious ordering protocol: Provolone wit means you want your steak with provolone and onions. Just don’t order a steak with ranch dressing or mayonnaise. Ever. But yo ... here’s the rub: The lines at the cheesesteak booths at the festival were overwhelming. Many salivating, disappointed attendees called the affair a complete waste of time and money. “This was the freaking standin-line festival,” said Joseph Simmons, 37, of Camden, N.J. “I spent $80 on two people to come and get just two samples. And it took over two hours just for that! What a rip-off!” Said organizer Feldman, “This thing blew up really quick.” Close to the end of the festival, people were so frustrated that they were giving away their sample vouchers and heading for the exits. But this true Philadelphian

Highlights of Saturday’s event included a 500-foot-long cheesesteak that broke the world record, offerings from more than 40 vendors — and long lines that sent people to the exits.

was determined to get the wit, the witout and the works (onions, mushrooms, peppers), because somewhere out there were at least 40 different cheesesteaks to try out. I was on a mission. I attended the festival with two 10-year-old girls who are on the “see food” diet. We started off the day by heading to the vegan cheesesteak booth. (No line there.) But given the huge crowds, I only had three more samples. Just four samples in four hours!

More than 20,000 people flocked to Philadelphia’s first Cheesesteak Festival at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday. Don’t get me wrong: I thoroughly enjoyed all four samples. I got some great T-shirts, talked to some wonderful people, danced to good music and watched my two tween companions enjoy their first thrilling

zipline. I was satisfied. But I was hungry as hell at the end. Flanagan is a multiplatform editor at USA TODAY and an unapologetic Philadelphian.

Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Another day of torrential, flooding rain fueled in part from the remnants of Hurricane Patricia moved Monday into Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Widespread and life-threatening flooding was possible in the region; 3-6 inches of rain was expected, but more was forecast for some areas, AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said. Cities at risk for flooding Monday include Gulfport, Miss.; Mobile, Ala.; and Pensacola, Fla., she said. Severe thunderstorms and a few tornadoes also were possible in the area, according to the Storm Prediction Center. The rain is from the same system that brought heavy rain and flash floods to Texas and Louisiana over the weekend, the National Weather Service said. Remnants of Patricia and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico caused the ongoing heavy rain and flooding, according to AccuWeather. On Sunday, Baton Rouge received 8.6 inches of rain, and New Orleans picked up 8.67 inches, both setting records for a single day in October, the weather service said. The Dallas-Fort Worth area is experiencing its seventh-wettest year on record, according to the Weather Underground. The metro recorded 46.64 inches of rain through Saturday, nearing its record total of 53.54 inches set in 1991, Weather Underground meteorologist Bob Henson said. No deaths or major destruction had been reported since heavy rains started drenching Texas on Friday, the Associated Press reported. The San Antonio Fire Department chief said a man who was swept into a flooded drainage ditch was found safe late Sunday.

PAKISTAN Hundreds were feared dead and thousands injured after a magnitude-7.5 earthquake centered in Afghanistan rocked neighboring Pakistan and rattled buildings as far away as India. The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter was in the far northern Afghan province of Badakhshan, which borders Pakistan, Tajikistan and China. “The devastation is going to be huge,” said Fazl Din, a doctor in Peshawar, about 25 miles from the Afghan frontier. “It is very difficult to reach the far-flung villages. The governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan have no proper disaster management units.” As authorities sifted through Kerman the broken villages, the death toll climbed over 260 late Monday, according to the Associated Press. In Afghanistan, 12 schoolgirls died in a stampede as they fled their swaying school in Takhar province. In Baghlan province north of the capital of Kabul, construction worker Mir Omarkhil, 32, said his 11-year-old son lost a leg to the quake. “He was playing outside when the earth shook,” Omarkhil said. “He got himself under a building for protection. That cost him his left leg.” Authorities warned that the number of deaths and injuries could climb as damage in remote

Pakistan’s Information Minister Pervez Rashid said civil and military authorities were working to reach all those affected by the quake. In Mingora, Pakistan, 50 miles from the Afghanistan border, schoolteacher Salma Khan said she was helping her pupils wrap up for the day when the ground

shifted beneath her. “Our first reaction was that maybe it is a terrorist attack,” Khan said. “We rushed to move the children out of the vicinity when we found out it was an earthquake.” “I was in my apartment on the third floor ... and I literally felt death,” Faisal Farooq, 28, who lives in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, told the Pakistani news website Dawn. “The building was moving like a swing. My legs are still shivering.” In north central Pakistan, a wall of the Government Ambala Muslim High School Sargodha collapsed in the quake, injuring 10 people. “It was a miracle that saved the entire building from falling,” said Tahir Malik, a college student based in Sargodha. In Islamabad, walls swayed and panicked people poured out of office buildings, reciting verses from the Quran, the AP said. New Delhi’s metro stopped running during the tremor. Avinash Mishra, 28, a law student at Delhi University, was riding the subway from the city into the suburbs on Monday when the earthquake struck. “Suddenly the train stopped,” Mishra said. “We could feel tremors inside the train. We were there for about 15 minutes until the train moved again.” In October 2005. a magnitude-7.6 earthquake in the Kashmir region rocked parts of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, killing more than 80,000 people.

A judge on Monday set bond at $1 million and ordered a psychological evaluation for the suspect in a car crash that killed four people and wounded nearly 50 at Oklahoma State University’s homecoming parade. Adacia Chambers, 25, initially was arrested and detained on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday. She later was charged with four counts of second-degree murder. Payne County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas said she does not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. But she told The Oklahoman that Chambers likely would be charged with driving under the influence of drugs.

Her big brother, now 25, has struggled with addiction disease her whole life, and their mother leads the communitybased Bullitt County Opioid Addiction Team. “She has heard me all through the day. All through the night, helping people,” Jennifer Stepp said. “She said, ‘Mom. Why haven’t you trained me in naloxone?’ ” Next month, Stepp plans to teach other children how to use the non-narcotic that can restore breathing in those overdosing. “People will think this is very controversial,” Stepp said. “I’m OK with that.” “This is telling them, if you do find a brother, sister, mother, uncle, not breathing, here’s something that you can do about it,” said Mina “Mike” Kalfas, a certified addiction expert in northern Kentucky who has nearly 300 heroin-addicted or recovering patients.

Audrey Stepp, 8, practices administering a life-saving drug to an overdose victim.

Disease Control and Prevention, “the rate of heroinrelated overdose deaths nearly quadrupled” between 2002 and 2013. More than 8,200 people died in 2013, the CDC said. A Kentucky Health Issues Poll in 2014 revealed that in northern Kentucky, 26% of those surveyed knew someone with a heroin problem. The poll also showed that 28% of adults responding said they have family or a friend with problems stemming from prescription pain medicine. Libby Harrison, project manager for needle-exchange service Cincinnati Exchange Project, is supportive of Stepp’s endeavor. “I see nothing but good in this,” Harrison said. “Naloxone is so easy to use, a kid can do it safely. Doing this also helps a child avoid the life-long trauma of watching a loved one die.” Kalfas is steadfast in backing the effort to train kids. “This is a great message for kids who are 8, 9, 10 years old. Because at 11 years old, these kids are going to be faced with someone who wants them to take drugs,” he said. And he added that when naloxone is ingested by someone who hasn’t been taking opioids or using heroin, it has no effect. “The worst thing that can happen is just nothing. So what?”

NEWS MONEY WALMARTSPORTS LOOKS TO TEST DELIVERY DRONES LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2015

Retail giant says it wants to create more efficient supply chain Hadley Malcolm and Elizabeth Weise USATODAY

Walmart has become the latest U.S. retailer to ask for permission to test drones for making deliveries to customers in its parking lots and at customers’ homes, following the lead of Amazon and smaller companies seeking exemptions from government rules.

Walmart also wants to use the aerial technology to check on its buildings, parking lots, warehouses and distribution centers. The retail giant applied to the Federal Aviation Administration for an exemption from current regulations Monday. Walmart has tested drones inside its facilities but now wants to do outdoor tests. To do that, it needs FAA permission to operate “small unmanned aircraft systems,” as the industry calls drones. Walmart is using drones in an effort to create a more efficient supply chain, company spokes-

and you tend to evolve and figure out which approaches are most compelling to customers and most efficient for the business.” The approval process typically takes 120 days, said Michael Drobac, executive director of the Small UAV Coalition, a drone industry group. Multiple other companies, including Amazon and Flirtey, a drone delivery start-up based in Nevada, also are exploring how to conduct deliveries via drone. Through Oct. 22, the FAA has granted 2,020 permits for commercial drones for purposes such as aerial photography, pipeline

inspection and agricultural monitoring. Walmart wants to test whether it can use drones to deliver merchandise packages from a retail facility to an area of a Walmart parking lot where the packages could be accessed by a customer, according to the FAA request. It also wants to test drone deliveries to customers in small residential neighborhoods. The tests would be done with the “express, written permission” of all property owners along the flight path, the petition to the FAA said. Contributing: Bart Jansen

Home construction should hit a post-recession high this year, but a fundamental problem is preventing a bigger surge: shortages of places to put the units. Builders are increasingly complaining of a dearth of developed lots, a crunch growing more prominent as housing starts pick up. They blame regulations, tight financing for lot development and buyers’ growing preference to live in or near land-constrained cities. “It’s likely limiting the number DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVG. of new homes for sale,” says David Crowe, chief economist of the 17,750 National Association of Home Builders.

can delay or scuttle projects, and it’s more prevalent as the improving economy reduces local officials’ need for the tax revenue that new development brings, Crowe says. Builders told NAHB that regulations have added seven months to projects, up from four months in 2011. Randy Noel, head of Reve, a

home builder in New Orleans’ western suburbs, says more expensive wetlands mitigation mandates have curtailed lot development. He plans to cease subdivision construction next year and build pricier homes on isolated lots. “I’ve been begging (developers) to get something in the ground,” he says. uLimited financing. Banks remain wary of financing land acquisition and development, leaving fewer lots for builders. Of those that develop land and build houses, about 13% said they didn’t seek a loan earlier in the year, certain they wouldn’t get it. Some lenders are raising costs. Dean Mon, head of the Mon Group, says he’ll build 48 apartments in Union City, N.J., instead of three projects with 132 units because he can borrow just 80% of the cost, down from 90%. uLess land in cities.

they’re up 18% for the year, and builders’ sales expectations are at a 10-year high. NAHB expects 1.1 million housing starts this year, up from 1 million in 2014 and the most since the 2007 real estate crash but still short of the 1.5 million historical average. One reason starts aren’t accelerating faster is the shortage of developed lots. Typically, a developer installs infrastructure such as roads and sewer lines on a vacant parcel of land and sells the tract to a builder. Earlier this year, 57% of builders said they expect the cost and availability of developed lots to be among their most significant problems in 2015, up from 46% in 2013. Among the reasons: uRegulations and local demands. Federal environmental rules have gotten tougher in recent years, including a broader definition of wetlands that builders must avoid or mitigate. Meanwhile, local governments increasingly require concessions from developers, such as financing the expansion of a sewage plant. That

THE NEW TECH ECONOMY

SAN

FRANCISCO

The stock market is signaling that the operations of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, soon will be valued more richly than those of Apple, even though the iPhone-maker remains the most-valued public company by far. That will be among the topics when Apple reports its fiscal fourth-quarter and year-end results Tuesday, after markets close. Thanks in growing measure to its huge hoard of cash, Apple is

valued at $659 billion, or almost a third more than Alphabet. Cash aside, however, Apple is now worth only about 6% more, and that difference has been narrowing fast. The trend suggests tech investors who favor growth stocks — as opposed to dividend-paying stocks such as Apple — already favor shares of Google’s new parent. When 2015 began, Apple’s market value, minus its cash position, was $454 billion, according to its securities filings. Google, meanwhile, was worth $291 billion net of cash, which means the market then valued Apple’s business operations as worth 56% more than those of its tech rival. Since then, however, Google/ Alphabet shares have soared, leaping 38% this year as an explosion of ads on YouTube and mobile devices has goosed overall revenue growth. Thanks to Google’s stock surge, Alphabet now is valued at $504 billion, with a cash position

The trend suggests tech investors who favor growth stocks — as opposed to dividend-paying stocks such as Apple — already favor shares of Google’s new parent. of $73 billion. Apple shares, meanwhile, are up a much-smaller 4% this year, merely keeping pace with the broader market for tech stocks. Apple’s cash pile, though, has been growing almost twice as fast as its valuation this calendar year. As of June 30, Apple held $202.8 billion in cash and marketable securities, or 14% more than it held in December. Based on its current market cap and last reported cash position, then, Apple’s operations (net of cash) are worth $457 billion. That’s essentially unchanged

from the $454 billion they were worth at the start of this year. Meanwhile, Alphabet’s valuation net of cash has soared to $431 billion, or 6% less than Apple’s. Remember at the start of the year that investors were valuing Apple’s operations at a 56% premium to Google’s. To be sure, the Apple side of this equation will need to be updated as soon as the company reports its latest results and cash position. If Apple shares jump in response to better-than-expected financial results, the company will keep or even extend its slim lead over Alphabet in valuation, net of cash. But the relative valuation trends of the two companies have been signaling for some time that tech investors seeking future sales and profit growth are better off owning shares of Alphabet. Income investors, meanwhile, should hold shares of Apple, thanks to its generous dividend. (Alphabet pays no dividend.)

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

The second big week of thirdquarter earnings season kicks into another gear Tuesday when Apple, the maker of the iPhone and the world’s most-valuable company, reports its latest quarterly results. Apple is one of 169 companies in the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 stock that will report results this week, an earnings season that despite its solid start could still end up being the first quarter of contracting profits since the financial crisis in 2009. Currently profits are forecast to contract 2.8% in the third quarter, and while still negative that is still better than the 4.8% drop seen at the start of the earnings season.

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

The list of brand name U.S. companies reporting Tuesday reads like a Who Who’s of America’s best corporations. In addition to Apple (which analysts say will earn $1.88 per share, or nearly 33% better than the same quarter a year ago), Wall Street will get results from major names in the automotive industry (Ford Motor), pharmaceuticals (Merck and Pfizer), media (Comcast), transports (United Parcel Service) and biotech (Gilead Sciences). But Apple is the biggie of the day as the gadget maker has been lagging the performance of other major tech players since the market bottom Aug. 25. Apple is up 11.1% since the August low, but Google parent Alphabet is up 22.5% and online shopping giant Amazon.com is up 30.6%. Wall Street needs the world’s biggest company to reassert itself as a market leader.

Market gives muted response to WHO warning Q: Should I avoid meat stocks now? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hot dog lovers got a big scare Monday. The World Health Organization said eating processed meats can cause colorectal cancer. But investors don’t seem to mind. Shares of most of the big meat producers hardly flinched at the WHO’s study, which called meat a cancer risk along with cigarettes. Hormel Foods (HRL), the king of processed meat including Spam, fell just 71 cents, or 1%, to $67.62. Kraft Heinz, maker of Oscar Mayer, fell just $1.17, or 1.5%, to $76.81. Meat processor Tyson fell 5% to $45.10, but it wasn’t because of the WHO but a downgrade of the stock by JPMorgan to “neutral” from “overweight.” The market’s muted response, amid what appeared to be a strong warning from a health agency, shows it’s much too soon to worry the WHO’s warning will have a direct hit on profit. The WHO’s study says the danger from processed foods is small and that it increases along with greater consumption. It’s unclear how much consumers will alter consumption. It’s also important to note that these big meat producers don’t just sell red meat but offer a variety of meat products. While Hormel is a large bacon producer, a meat that was singled out by the WHO, it also processes chicken and turkey.

Goldman Sachs case nears settlement, may bring $50M fine Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Prosecutors and a state regulator are nearing settlements in a case that renewed criticisms over Goldman Sachs’ ties to the agencies that oversee it. The case centers on confidential information passed between the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which oversees Goldman, to a former Goldman employee. The leak, which The New York Times first wrote about last year, reignited criticisms of Goldman’s ties to the Fed, which has helped earn

The leak reignited criticisms of Goldman Sachs’ ties to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

it the nickname “Government Sachs.” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is in plea discussions with Jason Gross, the for-

mer New York Fed employee who passed confidential bank information to a former colleague who went to work for Goldman, said Gross’ attorney, Bruce Barket. “We think we have a colorable legal defense to any criminal charges that may come,” Barket told USA TODAY. “If we can resolve this with them, we will,” he added. Barket said Gross is not disputing the facts of the government’s case, only the potential illegality of what he did. Bharara’s office also plans to bring criminal charges against Rohot Bansal, the former Goldman employee who received the

confidential information, according to The New York Times. Bansal’s lawyer, Scott Morvillo, did not return a request for comment. Bharara’s office declined to comment. Goldman, meanwhile, is in talks with the New York Department of Financial Services, its state regulator, to settle the matter in a deal that could cost Goldman $50 million, according to people familiar with the discussions who were not authorized to speak on the record. Goldman and NYDFS are currently hammering out a consent order that calls for a $50 million

fine and a three-year ban against Goldman doing consulting work with NYDFS-governed banks, these people said. The case emerged last November, just a few months after Bansal joined Goldman from the NY Fed, where he had worked for seven years. Once at Goldman, Bansal was assigned to advise at least one bank he previously regulated, according to The New York Times. Shortly thereafter, Bansal received confidential information about that bank from his former colleague Gross, who was still working at the New York Fed at the time.

‘SUFFRAGETTE’

STEFFAN HILL, FOCUS FEATURES

The period equal-rights drama offers ‘plain old storytelling’ — plus, she gets to blow stuff up Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

n 1964, women’s suffrage paraded to theaters in a brief but memorable scene of Mary Poppins as housewife Mrs. Banks (Glynis Johns) proudly sang her allegiance with “soldiers in petticoats and dauntless crusaders for women’s votes.” Half a century later, the movement gets the big-screen treatment in Suffragette (now showing in New York and Los Angeles; opens Friday in nine additional cities, including Phoenix, San Francisco and Chicago), which is written (Abi Morgan) and directed (Sarah Gavron) by women. The period drama stars Carey Mulligan as the fictional Maud Watts, a working-class launderer in 1910s Britain who takes up arms in the fight for equal pay alongside other activists (played by Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl Streep, among others). The fact that it’s the first feature film about the subject struck Mulligan, 30, as “odd, more so when I found out the details of what the women went through,” she says. Beforehand, “I kind of had a Mary Poppins idea in my head. I was surprised, because there are so many good stories in terms of plain old storytelling, not just in terms of representation of women. That it’s taken 100 years to tell this story about basic human rights in our country, I found kind of amazing.”

Three weeks before the film’s London shoot last year, Gavron and Morgan set up a makeshift library of books and photocopied documents in a rehearsal room, and they encouraged the cast to take home readings every day. Through her research, Mulligan discovered the militant part of the movement, including suffragettes who destroyed storefronts, cut telegraph wires and rioted in the streets, which often resulted in police brutality and arrests. The rough-and-tumble aspects of the role were a treat for the actress, who has shown grit with incendiary turns in Shame, Drive and Far From the Madding Crowd. She particularly enjoyed blowing up a house in a later scene of Suffragette, because “I’ve never been in an action film, and I don’t know if I ever will be, so that was a fun thing to get to do,” Mulligan says. Believably transforming Maud from an ordinary woman into a radical foot soldier was part of the appeal to Mulligan. “She starts the story a very normal person, just trying to take care of her family and be respectable, and she doesn’t really have a voice — she’s just surviving, rather than living,” Mulligan says. By joining the movement, “she becomes this sort of political animal by the end. I thought that would be a difficult journey to tell.” Gavron says she knew Mulligan could pull off the “epic, emotional” transition when she cast her two years ago. Plus, “it’s always a good sign when she agrees to come on board, because

“That it’s taken 100 years to tell this story about basic human rights ... I found kind of amazing.” Carey Mulligan

she is very selective and goes for roles she is confident she can do.” Mulligan earned a Tony Award nomination this summer for her Broadway role in Skylight and gave birth five weeks ago to a daughter, Evelyn (a name “just picked out of thin air,” she says), with husband Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons. Though she hasn’t always been so discerning about projects — averaging one to two films a year, if that — she says she became more selective after her Oscarnominated breakout in 2009’s An Education. (Experts at awards site GoldDerby.com predict Mulligan could be nominated again for Suffragette.) Back then, “my agent said, ‘You’re in this really lucky part of your career where you don’t have to work all the time and you can be a bit more choosy,’ ” Mulligan says. “I’ve done stuff if it keeps me up at night and I think about it weeks after I’ve read it. “If I think it would kill me to see another actress play it, I fight to do it.”

Oscar’s future is still too wild to pin down Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

Keep calm and carry on, because Oscar season is turning into the Wild West. As fall crowds with Academy Awards-worthy fare, experts are scratching their heads over which films will prevail. “There are a lot of wild cards,” says Tom O’Neil, founder of awards site GoldDerby.com. “We don’t have a real sense of who is out front in many races.” This late, that’s odd. “This time a year ago, we had already seen Birdman and Boyhood, and it was clear those movies were going to be at the forefront,” says Fandango.com Oscarologist Dave Karger. “Right now, there’s not one movie that seems to be out in front.” Moviegoers already have seen Matt Damon embrace his inner nerd in The Martian, Johnny Depp ruthlessly run Boston as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass, Michael Fassbender mesmerize as the Apple icon in Steve Jobs

YOUTUBE.COM/FOXMOVIES

Filmgoers get a Christmas gift of Joy with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. Presents may come later for the director. and Tom Hanks try to rescue a pilot in Bridge of Spies. Yet the races, from best picture to best actor and actress, are as cloudy as ever. “It’s really crowded,” says Indiewire Oscar watcher Anne Thompson. With upcoming performance-heavy offerings such as Carol, Trumbo, Spotlight, Brook-

lyn, The Danish Girl and Youth competing at the box office, the Oscar race becomes “Darwinian,” she says. “The ones that hang in and do well like The Martian just make it harder for everyone else.” The Martian could push Damon into the best-actor category, having earned $166.4 million to date. “No new movie was

able to knock it off its perch,” says Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Steve Jobs expanded nationwide last weekend and encountered what Dergarabedian calls a “box office traffic jam,” earning a disappointing $7.3 million. Smaller films, such as Room, are taking root as they spread to more markets. “Brie Larson is by far the favorite to win best actress,” O’Neil says. “The one thing she has to worry about Jennifer Lawrence being amazing in Joy.” Joy, directed by David O. Russell, is one of Christmas Day’s big offerings, joined by Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. No one has laid eyes on this last batch yet, nor Will Smith’s Concussion, which has scored a high-profile world premiere Nov. 10 at AFI Fest. Along with Iñárritu, experts are keeping a sharp eye on Russell in the director’s race. After being heavily nominated for The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, O’Neil says, “he’s holding an Oscar IOU.”

lies, seniors and disabled individuals. For families with dependent children to qualify, the income limit is about one-third of the federal poverty level, or $9,216 a year for a family of four. Working-age adults without children cannot receive Medicaid in Kansas. Under the ACA, states can extend Medicaid to all individuals with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level, or $32,913 a year for a family of four. Praeger said people without health insurance,

Wes: An almost universal question among teen and young adult clients who have experienced family of origin abuse or neglect is whether they will grow up adversely affected, or worse, treat their kids the same way. Here’s my answer: Whether you come from a strong family or a destructive one, the whole point of adolescence is to differentiate — to say to your parents, “This is who I am. You are you. I am myself.” Unfortunately, dysfunctional families often stifle differentiation by essentially saying, “We are us and there is no you.” Young people often feel a confused mix of longing for genuine closeness and revulsion at family mistreatment. Differentiation recognizes both. It doesn’t mean cutting off your family. It means standing on your own two feet, asserting your truth, and then taking that ability with you into all your future relationships. It means staying connected — if that’s physically and emotionally safe — without being pulled back into their dysfunction. No, it’s not easy, but it is doable and necessary to finally reach a peace about your life. I’ve seen it happen many times. Whether the experience was good or bad, your family of origin is just one part of your history, which gets smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror as you move on down the road of life. Each of us decides where to go next on that journey, and we cannot afford the luxury of blaming anyone else for where we might take ourselves. Family problems are an explanation for many upsetting problems in life, but they are not an excuse to keep living them out or replicating them in new relationships. I tell young adults that they needn’t pattern their lives after an abusive parent. They can go looking for a “spiritual parent” — someone from daily life, or public service, or even in literature or history, who stood up for what’s right. I urge them to seek that person’s wisdom, build their image around them and become, as they are, a light on the path to others. There’s no better example than Mr. Rogers, that sweater-wearing saint from many an adult’s childhood. In an interview shortly after 9/11, he said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always

Get informed before choosing a new doctor By Janice Early

Lawrence Memorial Hospital

ecause of changes recently occurring with a number of physicians in the community, you may find yourself searching for a new doctor. What do people look for in a doctor? The best medical treatment, of course, but also a willingness to listen, answer questions and respond to concerns in a manner that makes you comfortable. The best idea is to find a doctor and establish rapport before you need treatment. Just as 8 p.m. Friday is not the best time to find a plumber to unclog your bathroom drain, try not to choose a physician when you are sick or upset about a family member who is ill, if you can help it. Establishing and maintaining lines

of communication with someone you see infrequently — and often in times of stress — isn’t easy. It’s important to spend some time choosing and getting to know your doctor. In selecting a health care provider, take at least as much time as you would in choosing a new car. You can search for information about a health care provider on the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Directory by visiting lmh.org/providers. The directory offers a comprehensive list by name, specialty or location of physicians, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives and advanced practice registered nurses who

have Medical Staff privileges at LMH. First, you need to decide what type of physician you want. Do you need a primary care physician, such as an internist or family practice physician, or a specialist? Asking the right questions can help you find a doctor who best suits your needs and lifestyle. Here are some suggestions: 1. Is the physician a primary care doctor or a specialist? 2. Does the physician emphasize any particular concerns in the practice, such as arthritis, weight control, pediatrics, sports injuries? 3. Does the physician have experience in performing procedures you might need? 4. Does the physician work with children, teenagers, older adults? Please see NEW DOC, page 2C

Local organization aims to improve seniors’ twilight years By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Mary Blythe, 88, says she sometimes has trouble getting to church. She attends Unitarian Fellowship on North 1100 Road and finding a ride isn’t always easy and transportation services aren’t available on Sundays. Until now, that is. Friday afternoon Blythe and dozens of other area senior citizens gathered on the top floor of the Douglas

County Senior Center to hear several speakers address issues related to aging, how to stay healthy and happy, and to hear the results of Community Village Lawrence’s recent seven-week study for its transportation program. Chris Holmer, CVL chairperson, said the study was meant to gauge the program’s capacity to handle requests, schedule drivers and wrangle volunteers. Ben Tasner, an AmeriCorps volunteer and pro-

gram coordinator, said over the length of the study, 25 round trips were completed, more than 300 miles were traveled and more than 30 hours of time were volunteered. “And it wasn’t all driving,” he said. “If they took someone to the grocery store they’d go in and walk with them. If they took them to the movies they’d help them find a seat.” That personal interaction is an important aspect of aging, guest speaker and

DCSS Chairman Dennis Domer told the crowd. Domer touched on the changing roles of the elderly within the country and assured his listeners that getting older need not mean the end of their usefulness. Senior citizens have much to offer, Domer said, from the preservation of a culture on down to sharing their years of experience with younger generations. But in order to play that part, they have to utilize what resources they

have to make the best of their twilight years. “That’s why it’s so important to be connected with family and not to be put out to pasture. Staying close to friends and family, that’s the key,” he said. “That’s as positively correlated to longevity as smoking is negatively correlated to longevity.” In addition with that familial connection, Domer said seniors can do many other things to improve the quality and duration Please see AGING, page 2C

Health care talk spurs conversation on ACA, Medicaid in Kansas By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

A community conversation on health care and the Affordable Care Act in Kansas covered a wide range of topics, and the discussion in the Kansas Legislature is beginning to open up as well, said Jim McLean of the Kansas Health Institute News Service. “It’s been amazing how this issue has been bottled up the last two years,” McLean told the about 100 attendees of the event at the Lawrence Public Library on Sunday.

“But people who oppose it recently are starting to realize we need a better answer than just ‘no.’” McLean and Sandy Praeger, former Kansas insurance commissioner, led the conversation, titled “Straight Talk about Kansas Health,” which included discussion of the implementation of the ACA and the hesitancy to expand Medicaid in Kansas, as well as health-focused programs in Lawrence. McLean said for the past two years, the discussion of expanding Medicaid in Kansas has been largely political,

Working past age 65 may prolong life By Karen Kaplan Associated Press

Is retirement hazardous to your health? It’s an intriguing question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts who don’t. Researchers from the University of Miami and their colleagues examined data on more than 83,000 Americans who participated in the National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2011. All of them were at least 65 years old when they were interviewed, and 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time. The majority of these workers — 61 percent — held white-collar positions. Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.” (The other options were “good,” “very good” and “excellent.”) People with blue-collar jobs, service-industry jobs or who worked on farms rated their health as about the same as their white-collar peers. The survey also rated health using a measure called the Health and Activities Limitation Index, or HALex, which includes factors such as whether people need

partly because of the lack of expansion of Medicaid, is the biggest health issue facing Kansans. Changing the qualifications would offer health insurance to more people and help to close the “Medicaid gap” that has left some relying on only emergency care. “Going to the emergency room is not access to health care,” she said. “That’s sick care.” Kansas is one of 20 states not expanding Medicaid. McLean agreed that the lack of expansion is creating state-to-state disparities in access to care. “When you plot that out on a graph — the extent to which the percent of uninsured has gone up or down — it’s really creating two countries,” he said. Alternatives to the ACA were also discussed, such as a single-payer system similar to Social Security or allowing insurance policies to be sold across state lines. One component of the ACA that has brought some complaints, the individual mandate, is necessary to keep health insurance accessible for everyone, McLean said. “In the old system, it was more difficult for

help taking care of themselves or have limitations in the kind of work they can do. The 80 percent of people with the highest HALex scores were considered to be in good shape, compared with the 20 percent of people who had the lowest scores. The researchers found that unemployed and retired senior citizens were nearly six times more likely than the whitecollar workers to have a low HALex score. Again, other types of workers scored about the same as white-collar workers. Older Americans with jobs also fared better on more objective measures of health. For instance, the National Health Interview Survey included information on whether people had ever been diagnosed with serious conditions such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems. By this measure, bluecollar workers were in even better health than white-collar workers: They were 16 percent less likely to have two or more of these health problems. Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do

things such as standing, walking or climbing stairs. Unemployed and retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than whitecollar workers to have multiple functional limitations, researchers found. In addition, the odds of having two or more limitations were 16 percent lower for blue-collar workers and 18 percent lower for service workers. “Being unemployed/retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures, even after controlling for smoking status, obesity, and other predictors of health,” the study authors concluded. The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their nonworking peers. Indeed, the authors acknowledged that the reverse is often true: Health problems force some people to drop out of the workforce. Still, understanding the health benefits associated with working past age 65 could motivate businesses to find ways to accommodate older workers, even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote. The report was published in mid-October in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease, a publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

people with pre-existing conditions to get a policy,” he said. But measures taken on the state level aren’t the only way to improve the health of Kansans, they said. Both speakers commended efforts being made in Lawrence — such as Safe Routes to School, Community Village Lawrence, LiveWell Lawrence and BackSnack — that work to improve health locally for people of all ages. “Health really does reside at the community level,

and people really can do an awful lot,” McLean said. Praeger said apart from those initiatives, there are things individuals and local organizations can do. Individuals can keep hedges trimmed near sidewalks to keep pathways clear and grocery stores and schools can ensure that fresh fruits and vegetables are available, she said. “A community is there to make sure some of those health care services may not be needed,” Praeger said.

find people who are helping.’ If you look for the helpers, you’ll know there is hope.” Gabe: My heart goes out to young people in truly horrible situations like these. I would not wish on anyone the difficulties they face in moving out and separating from a poisonous home life. To continue the metaphor of a rearview mirror, the best thing a young person can do is keep their eyes on the road ahead and drive forward. Our journey beyond the doorframe of our home is a good first step toward differentiation, but we have to do more

than leave to move along the road to a life closer to normal. We must each come to see ourselves as something other than an extension of our families. A good thing to do is to realize where we are going — get out a map and chart the course to our next destination. Our accomplishments, not our families, make us uniquely us, and the best way to get there is to imagine them first as goals. Striving to reach them will redirect focus from our past and on to our future — and the better life we deserve. Gainful employment or higher education are the most common ways to do this, for good reason. You often can enrich yourself as a human being while improving your general quality of life. Like them or not, our

families are part of our history, and we have to build on what they gave us. If it was a positive experience, replicate it. If negative, recognize what not to do. We should all strive to make our world a better place for others than when we arrived here and not simply repeat cycles of family dysfunction. However we were raised, our past can serve as the gas to get us to our goals. —Wes Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, is author of “I Always Want to Be Where I’m Not: Successful Living with ADD & ADHD.” Learn about his writing and practice at dr-wes. com.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Series of prop bets MyTopSportsbook.com offers World Series propositions that extend well beyond the baseball diamond. Based on how difficult it is to decide which are the best bets, a ton of thought must have gone into each one. For example, the over/ under on the number of times the name “Buckner” is mentioned was set at 4.5. Since Mookie Wilson’s groundball that rolled under first baseman Bill Buckner’s legs was the signature play of the Mets’ World Series championship, in 1986, it definitely will be mentioned. It’s tempting to take the over, but I’d like to believe it will occur to the announcers that Buckner has suffered enough the past 29 years, so anything in excess of two mentions counts as piling on. Take the under. Over/under on times broadcast cuts to shots of fans in costume on Halloween: 8.5. It only takes once an inning for the over to come through, and my guess is 10 different fans wearing Donald Trump costumes will be shown, not to mention a Rick Pitino in a cardinal boa-feather hat. Best bet on the board: Odds there is a brawl with at least one punch thrown: 99/1. True, most basebrawls more closely resemble waltzes than hockey fights, but consider this: Daniel Murphy has homered in six consecutive postseason games for the Mets. The old-school, young, hardthrowing Royals pitchers aren’t big fans of hitters digging in and claiming home plate as their domain. Murphy stays hot, and he’ll get dusted until he cools off or until hot-heads pour out of the dugout and one of them throws a punch. It probably won’t happen, but 99/1? Over/under on the number of celebrity sightings: 15. Wait a minute, who determines whether someone is a celebrity? MyTopSportsbook.com writer “AlexanderP” explains: “I do! Sorry, Richard Kind, a secondary role on Spin City will only get you ‘celebrity’ status for so many years.” If Richard Kind doesn’t count, the under it is. Not only did Kind have a recurring role as Larry David’s cousin Andy on the greatest all-time TV show, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” he’s a cool guy. We ran into him in an airport on assignment covering the Jayhawks. No ego, which come to think of it might disqualify him as a celeb. One more prop strikes me as a low-risk, highreward, worthwhile plunge. Odds a streaking fan arrives via parachute: 5,000/1. Come on, would anybody be shocked if someone from DraftKings. com, feeling so underexposed in recent weeks, wins somebody $10,000 on a $2 wager?

KANSAS COACH DAVID BEATY, LEFT, GIVES QUARTERBACK RYAN WILLIS A PAT after a three-and-out during the second quarter on Saturday at T. Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Willis is a true freshman on team with the most first-time players in Div. I football.

By any measure, KU inexperienced By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Even though the Kansas University football team’s 0-7 record has not come as a total surprise, there is one statistic that helps explain it and justifies the Jayhawks’ struggles. Kansas, which also sits 0-4 in Big 12 play heading into Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. kickoff against No. 14 Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium, leads the nation in first-time players. KU coach David Beaty has tossed a whopping 37 firsttime players onto the field during the first seven games of the 2015 season. That’s an average of five per game and includes all Jayhawks who are playing at the Div. I level for the first time. There’s more. While KU’s number of first-time players is one more than fourthranked TCU, which enters the week unbeaten despite playing 36 first-time Frogs, the Jayhawks rank second to Central Florida in first-time starters with 30. Only UCF, with 32, has thrown more rookies into the fire to open games. The next closest is TCU, with 20. Just past the midway point of the college football season, the average record of the nine other teams in the Top 10 in most first-time players is 4-4 and features everything from TCU’s unbeaten mark to winless Central Florida (0-8) and one-win Texas-San Antonio (1-6). Beaty has talked often this season about playing those who deserve to play. Based on these numbers, the firstyear head coach has backed up his preseason claim that he

Even though he expected to employ the all-hands-on-deck approach, Beaty did not foresee it going quite like this. “I think the biggest thing that’s been a surprise to me is the amount of youth that (we’ve had) to use in that first year,” Beaty said Monday morning on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “I’m not sure that I thought, going into it, that we’d be playing that many newcomers. But because of injury and opportunity and competition, that’s what’s come to pass.” And while playing so many players with so few snaps has led to a few long afternoons, Beaty, with his always-sunny disposition, has been able to view it as a positive for the future.

If one play summarized the 2015 Royals, it was how they scored the run that sent them to the World Series — the winning run in their dramatic 4-3 win over the Blue Jays in ALCS Game 6. With Lorenzo Cain on first base and none out in the bottom of the eighth, Eric Hosmer singled down the right-field line. Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista charged it and — perhaps seeing Hosmer take an aggressive turn around first — threw to second base rather than toward the cutoff man. Cain, roaring toward second on contact and then around it, was waved home by third-base coach Mike Jirschele and scored easily ahead of Troy Tulowitzki’s throw. “Jirsch always tells us to continue to hustle, continue to come in hard,” Cain said. It was yet another example of the Royals beating a team with their legs, not to mention their heads. Jirschele had noticed that Blue Jays outfielders typically throw right to second on hits, adding: “I’ve seen Bautista do it this whole series.” He was waiting for the right runner on first to try to take advantage of that, and the speedy Cain gave him the opportunity. “He was waiting and waiting and waiting for that play to happen the whole series,” said Hall of Famer George Brett, now the Royals’ vice president of baseball operations. “(On a) hit, they throw to second. When Jirsch saw him throw that ball to second, he just said, ‘Keep going!’ But if Cain’s not running hard, that play doesn’t happen.” The Royals did not hit the ball out of the park like the Blue Jays, who led the majors in scoring and home runs. The Royals went deep 139 times, next to last in the big leagues. But they nonetheless ranked sixth in runs scored with 724. How is not a mystery. Because of their speed, the Royals put a premium on putting the ball in play. They struck out the least of any team in baseball (973 times). They also were second in the AL with 104 stolen bases. “We don’t rely on the home run as much,” Cain said. “We try to do it all. We can hit home runs but we don’t rely on them. We know we can win in other ways. A very solid team top to bottom.” Blue Jays pitchers talked about how difficult it was to navigate the Royals’ lineup 1 through 9. They lacked home run threats like Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion, but there were no breathers, either. “They try to string hits together, put the pressure on the defense with their team speed, steal bases, produce runs with outs, and that’s Please see ROYALS, page 4D

Cardinals escape Ravens Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — Chris Johnson rolled his way to a big play. Joe Flacco couldn’t quite respond with one of his own. And the Arizona Cardinals escaped with a 26-18 victory over the luckless Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Johnson rushed for 122 yards, 62 on a play where he rolled over the belly of a big defender and kept on running to set up a field goal. Baltimore (1-6) drove to the four in the final seconds before Tony Jefferson’s interception deep in the end zone clinched the victory for NFC West-leading Arizona (5-2). “A lot of things happened during the game,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. “Good, bad and one ugly one, but we finished and made a great play at the end.” Arizona led 26-10 before Asa Jackson’s blocked a punt to set up Joe Flacco’s 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. The 2-point conversion pass to Nick Boyle made it an eightpoint game with 4:26 to play. Baltimore got the ball back and Flacco quickly moved the team downfield before the final ill-fated throw. “The punt block and all of a sudden you let them in,” Arizona’s Carson Palmer said, “but that’s what you want on ‘Monday Night Football.’ We made it a game at the end.” Flacco and Harbaugh said they had trouble with the communications system throughout the game, particularly in the final drive. The eight-point loss was the most one-sided of the season for the Ravens. Johnson also ran 26 yards for a touchdown. The 30-year-old running back, signed late in training camp after recovering from a gunshot wound during the offseason, topped 100 yards for the third time this season and didn’t even play in the fourth quarter.

IN THIS NOV. 29, 2014, PHOTO, IOWA STATE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR MARK MANGINO WALKS ON THE FIELD before a game against West Virginia in Ames, Iowa. On Monday, Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads said Mangino, the former Kansas University head coach, had left the program, seven games into his second season at ISU.

Mangino out as ISU offensive coordinator Ames, Iowa — On Monday morning, Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino talked about the direction of the Cyclones. By the time the conversation ended, Mangino was on his way out of Ames. Rhoads made the surprise announcement that Mangino, the former Kansas University head coach, has left the program just seven games into his second season with Iowa State. Rhoads wouldn’t say whether Mangino quit or was fired. Rhoads also declined to discuss the specifics of his final talk with Mangino. Passing game coordinator Todd Sturdy will take over for Mangino, starting with Saturday’s game against Texas (3-4, 2-2 Big 12). “Mark and I couldn’t get on the same page on a few important items,” Rhoads said. “We tried to talk that through again this morning in an effort to get us moving in a different direction. In the end, Mark was not interested in that. I wish that wasn’t the case.” The move came on the same day Iowa State promoted sophomore quarterback Joel Lanning to a starting role over senior Sam Richardson. Rhoads said Lanning’s promotion was not the reason Mangino left. Mangino won 50 games at Kansas before resigning in 2009 after an investigation into how he treated his players. The fact Rhoads and Mangino couldn’t solve their philosophical differences will put even more heat on the head coach, who is just 7-24 since the start of the 2013 season. The Cyclones (2-5, 1-3) have dropped three straight by an average of nearly 26 points per game, and they will have to win four of their last five simply to earn bowl-eligibility. Athletic director Jamie Pollard told the Associated Press that he supports the decision by Rhoads, now in his seventh season at Iowa State. “Being the head football coach requires you to be a leader, and you’re the CEO. Most people think it’s about X’s and O’s. But it’s about leading a really big organization. So with that comes tough decisions,” Pollard said. Richardson has been Iowa State’s starter since the end of the 2012 season, but he has thrown just three touchdown passes in 104 attempts in Big 12 play — the same number of touchdown passes Lanning tossed in a 45-27 loss at No. 2 Baylor over the weekend.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Baylor QB Russell finished Second-ranked Baylor’s pursuit of a playoff spot will go on without star quarterback Seth Russell, who needs season-ending neck surgery. Russell saw a specialist Monday, two days after he fractured a bone during a win over Iowa State. The school said surgery was recommended to repair damage to his cervical vertebra, and that the typical recovery time is six months. “Seth exemplifies the spirit and will of our football team, and through this our team will

keep that spirit alive and well for him,” coach Art Briles said in a statement released by the school. The junior quarterback got hurt on a run late in Saturday’s game, when the two-time defending Big 12 champion Bears improved to 7-0 with a 45-27 win. Russell is the top-rated passer in the Bowl Subdivision, completing 119 of 200 passes for 2,104 yards with 29 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also ran for six scores in his first season starting for the NCAA’s top offense (686 total yards, 61 points a game). Freshman Jarrett Stidham will take over as the starter. He has played in every game so far, and has some extra time to prepare for his first start since the Bears are off this week before playing Nov. 5 at Kansas State. Stidham has completed 24 of 28 passes for 331 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions. Sophomore Chris Johnson has moved from receiver back to quarterback as Stidham’s backup.

BASEBALL

Twins’ Hunter retiring Minneapolis — Torii Hunter’s Minnesota reunion went about as well as could’ve been expected — for both sides. That’s the way Hunter decided to cap his career, too, as the last of 19 major-league seasons. In 2,372 games, Hunter hit .277 with 353 homers and 1,391 RBIs for Minnesota, the Los Angeles Angels and the Detroit Tigers, playing in one AL championship series with each team. After being drafted in the first round by the Twins as an 18-year-old out of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Hunter finished with his original team at age 40.

GOLF

Scorecard DQ among changes Golfers no longer face automatic disqualification for two violations, including an incorrect scorecard, under the latest set of rules that reflect a little more leniency in handing out penalties. The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association announced changes to the 2016 edition of the Rules of Golf, which is updated every four years. Players will avoid disqualification if the incorrect scorecard is the result of penalty strokes they didn’t know about when they finished their rounds. The penalty also was softened for players using artificial devices, such as training aids, in the middle of the round. The new rules take effect Jan. 1. The most notable addition was Rule 14-1b, which bans an anchored stroke used primarily for long putters. That already went through an exhaustive discussion and debate two years ago, along with some protesting from the PGA of America that it would keep some recreational golfers from playing. Changes were made to 18 of the 34 rules.

FSHS advances, 1-0 By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys soccer team didn’t play its best on Monday, but in the playoffs, it’s all about finding ways to move on to the next round. The Firebirds advanced to the regional finals with a 1-0 victory against Wichita Southeast at FSHS in the first round of regionals. Free State sophomore defender Charlie Newsome scored the gamewinner, using a header to score off a corner kick from senior Jordan Patrick with seven minutes remaining in the first half. “The beautiful thing was how long Charlie stayed up in the air for that header,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “I think it took almost an eternity for that to be executed.” It was the first goal of the season for Newsome, who jumped behind the goalkeeper and had an open net once he put his head on the ball. “The ball was going over the keeper’s head, and I just followed it,” Newsome said. “I lost my mark and put it in the back of the net. … It’s pretty nice to do it in front of my friends. I heard my friends yelling pretty loud, so it was pretty fun.” Free State controlled possession and tempo, outshooting the Golden Buffaloes, 15-6, but the Firebirds couldn’t make the most of their offensive attacks with Heitor Nazareth, Nicolas Howard, Israel Lumpkins, Garrett Hodge and Cooper Moreano. “I think a lot of it had to do with nerves and getting used to it,” FSHS freshman defender Row-

FREE STATE SENIOR ERNESTO HODISON (14) DEFENDS against Wichita Southeast’s Jose Trejo during the Firebirds’ 1-0 victory Monday night in regional play at FSHS. an Laufer said. “It was a faster speed of play, I think. Everybody steps it up when it’s playoffs.” The Golden Buffaloes (6-11) only put one shot on goal in the first half, struggling to keep possession past midfield. But in the second half, Wichita Southeast turned up the intensity. Freshman Tyler Inlow fired a free kick to the upper-left corner of the net, but Free State junior goalkeeper Jonathan Lesslie jumped and put his right hand on it to push it away. Wichita Southeast junior Phoma Amphone had an open shot in the box off of Lesslie’s deflection, but Lesslie dove to his left and knocked it to a teammate. “At first I lost it in the lights,” Lesslie said of the free kick, one of his four saves. “But then it came back across, and I just tried to get big and ended up saving it.” The fourth-seeded Firebirds (11-5-1) didn’t give up many good chances on net. Back-

line defenders — Newsome, Patrick, Laufer and junior Francisco Flores — turned away Wichita Southeast’s forwards, making smart tackles and keeping the ball out of dangerous areas. “We were pretty happy,” Newsome said. “We didn’t get too much pressure on us, but what we dealt with, we thought we did pretty good.” The back-line defense was one of the biggest question marks at the beginning of the season, but they’ve shown a lot of improvement throughout the season. In the past four games, the Firebirds have only allowed two goals. “We’re starting a freshman and sophomore back there, and not that many people thought we could do it,” Laufer said. “But we proved, I think, this season that we can handle the pressure.” The Firebirds will face No. 5-seed Wichita North (10-6) or No. 12-seed Campus (6-9-1) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at FSHS.

L.A. Times rates KU second in sending players to NBA By Gary Bedore

BRIEFLY Kawinpakorn tied for third in S.C.

Tuesday, October 27, 2015

A Sunday article in the Los Angeles Times figures to give Kansas University’s basketball staff some recruiting material as the Nov. 11-18 earlysigning period nears. KU basketball, the newspaper reported, is tied with UCLA nationally in producing the second-most NBA players since high school standouts were forced to attend college one year (starting with the 2006 NBA Draft). The Jayhawks and Bruins have sent 18 players to the NBA in the so-called “one and done era,” trailing Kentucky (23) by five players. Duke, North Carolina and Syracuse followed by shipping 17, 15 and 14 players to the NBA in that nine-year span.

He’s all about winning. He’s a quiet guy on the outside, but he cares. He’s passionate about the game on the inside. He’s just not a rah-rah guy.” l

All’s quiet on Herard front: Schnider Herard, a 6-10 senior forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, who is ranked No. 34 nationally, has visited KU, Mississippi State, Purdue and Texas Tech. He has said he will take a final visit to a yet-to-bedetermined school and will sign in the early period.

Bolden decision looms: It remains to be seen if No. 16-ranked Marques Bolden, a 6-10 senior forward from DeSoto (Texas) High, will wait for Giles to pick a school or commit first.

FROM LEFT, NEW YORK METS PITCHERS JACOB DEGROM, STEVEN MATZ, NOAH SYNDERGAARD AND MATT HARVEY STAND in the outfield during batting practice Saturday in New York. The fearsome foursome led the Mets to the World Series, which opens tonight in Kansas City, Missouri.

Fearsome Foursome: Mets rely on young guns Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Anyone arriving a little early to a New York Mets game this season has probably witnessed “The Walk.” Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom or another emerging ace striding in from the bullpen following pregame warmups, with pitching coach Dan Warthen right alongside — and the rest of that fearless rotation trailing just behind. For opposing hitters, it has become an imposing march to impending doom. Riding four young starters all the way through October, the hard-throwing Mets are ready to fire their best stuff at the Kansas City Royals in the 111th World Series. Game 1 is tonight at Kauffman Stadium, with Harvey set to face Edinson Volquez. “I don’t think any of us have really sat back and kind of realized what we can accomplish as a group,” Harvey said Monday. “Right now, it’s about our team and about winning.” Kansas City came excruciatingly close to

Matchups

These teams have played only nine interleague games, with the Royals holding a 5-4 advantage, but it’s going to be awhile before they face anyone else. In an unusual bit of scheduling, the Mets open next season with two games at Kansas City in early April. ... The last time they squared off was 2013, when the Royals took two of three in their lone visit to Citi Field. They also played a threegame set at Shea Stadium in 2002. ... New York played at Kauffman Stadium in 2004. ... This marks the first World Series between two clubs born in the expansion-era 1960s. ... Kansas City won its only World Series crown in 1985. New York’s last championship came the following year. ... Cespedes said he expects to be ready for Game 1 despite an ailing left shoulder. He left the NLCS finale and received a cortisone injection the next day. ... Cueto was 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA in 11 starts against the Mets when he pitched for Cincinnati. Medlen was 5-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 19 games, including 9 starts, as a member of the NL East-rival Braves.

Big Picture

Mets: After six straight losing seasons, the Mets (90-72) finally turned it around and won their fifth NL pennant. Riding an incredible playoff power surge from Murphy, they reached the World Series for the first time in 15 years — the longest absence in team history. ... The NL East champs rebuilt around prized young pitchers such as Harvey, deGrom, Syndergaard and Familia — the electric arms that kept New York within

striking distance this season until the front office completely transformed an anemic offense in late July. On the same day Conforto was called up directly from Double-A, professional bats Uribe and Kelly Johnson were acquired from Atlanta in a deal that added much-needed depth. A week later, Cespedes was obtained at the July 31 trade deadline and d’Arnaud came off the disabled list. Flores hit a game-winning homer against Washington, two nights after tearing up on the field when he thought he’d been traded. That made him an instant fan favorite, and the Mets took off. Michael Cuddyer and Wright returned from injuries in August, and suddenly New York had a potent lineup to go with all that pitching. One of the worst offenses in the majors became one of the very best from July 25 on. ... Two pivotal sweeps of Washington helped the Mets overtake the heavily favored Nationals in the NL East and then pull away in September for their sixth division title. That put Terry Collins, at 66 the oldest skipper in the majors, in the postseason for the first time as a big-league manager. ... Royals: After winning their second consecutive AL pennant, the resilient Royals are trying to take this year’s run one step farther. They fell just short of a World Series championship last season with a Game 7 loss at home to San Francisco. ... The team’s postseason appearance in 2014 ended a 29-year drought. ... Even without closer Greg Holland, who recently had Tommy John surgery, the bullpen remains among the best in baseball. Davis has become a dominant closer in his own right. ... Perez has 4 homers this postseason. He popped up for the final out in last year’s World Series with the potential tying run on third base. ... Escobar was the MVP of the ALCS after going 11 for 23 (.478) against the Blue Jays with 6 runs and 5 RBIs. Cain was the MVP of last year’s ALCS. Both were acquired in the trade that sent Greinke to Milwaukee in 2010.

“There’s still work to do,” deGrom echoed. Last season’s NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom goes in Game 2 against enigmatic Royals newcomer Johnny Cueto. After winning 14 games this season, deGrom went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three playoff outings.

what they’ve done really well,” said Blue Jays left-hander David Price, who had a 5.40 ERA in two starts in the series. “That’s how they won the Central. That’s how they got to the World Series last year.” Royals general manager Dayton Moore used a word that gets a lot of play in describing his club’s lineup. “Our guys just have a relentless attitude,” he said. “A relentless commitment to having good at-bats, a relentless commitment of executing the fundamentals, a relentless commitment of continuing to make pitches and prepare and just overcome the things that happen in a baseball game that perhaps could go against you. They just keep playing.” And, in the end, the Royals outhomered the Blue Jays 7-6 in the series. “If you took Kansas City and put them in our NAIA Poll ballpark, you could add Through Oct. 18 Record Pts a share of home runs 1.

NBA PREVIEW

West is wild; Cavs should rule East By Brian Mahoney AP Basketball Writer

Kevin Durant is back in uniform, LaMarcus Aldridge is back home in Texas, and the Golden State Warriors are back intact. All over the Western Conference, there are teams who look capable of winning it. In the East, one team appears to stand out — and maybe it’s finally Cleveland’s time to stand above everybody else in the NBA. The Cavaliers, who fell just short last season, have big goals and a bigger payroll as they try to finally bring a title to their championshipstarved city. “Yes, we were able to get to where we wanted to get to, but we didn’t close the deal,” LeBron James said. “So we look forward to the opportunity once again to be able to go out there and continue to try to play at a high level.” The Cavs might not look like championship material when they open the season tonight at Chicago, with James battling a bad back in the preseason, Kevin Love only recently returning from shoulder surgery and Kyrie Irving still recovering from knee surgery. But they have the pieces, after shelling out big bucks to assemble one of the most expensive teams in NBA history, to get the job done this time. “The Cavaliers, man, they are loaded,” TNT’s Charles Barkley said. “I just want to see them healthy.”

SAN ANTONIO SPURS’ LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE (12) TALKS TO TEAMMATE TONY PARKER during the first half of a preseason game against the Houston Rockets on Friday in San Antonio. Aldridge left Portland for San Antonio in the offseason. The Warriors were too good for them and everyone else last season, winning 67 games in Steve Kerr’s first season as coach. Kerr will miss the opener today while recovering from back surgery, but MVP Stephen Curry and every other important piece from last season is back. “What’s great about us, we’re all so competitive, that I don’t think complacency will be an issue,” All-Star Klay Thompson said. “But we love having the bullet on our back.” Many of their pursuers return stronger, with Oklahoma City getting former MVP Durant back from last season’s broken foot. Aldridge left Portland for San Anto-

nio and a spot on a tantalizing front line next to Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard, while Houston (Ty Lawson) and the Los Angeles Clippers (Paul Pierce) added potential missing pieces. Memphis will be rough and tough as always and New Orleans has a top talent on his way to dominance in Anthony Davis, making it impossible to predict the path in the West. There were seven 50-game winners there last season, and count on Oklahoma City getting there after finishing with 45 mostly on the back of Russell Westbrook while Durant was sidelined. The West may be wild, but drama is harder to envision back East. The

Cavs might only be vulnerable until they’re healed and whole. “I think it does give the Chicago Bulls an opportunity if they’re able to get off to a quick start to maybe challenge Cleveland for the top seed in the East, but at the end of the day, it’s still going to be hard if Cleveland is healthy at the end of the year to beat them in a seven-game series,” ESPN’s Jeff Van Gundy said. “So they’ve got a really good shot at winning it all.” Other things to watch this season:

OKLAHOMA CITY’S KEVIN DURANT brings the ball up court during a preseason game against Utah on Oct. 20 in Salt Lake City. Durant missed much of the 2014-2015 season because of a broken foot. sons, Kobe Bryant begins his 20th and perhaps final NBA season. He’s 37 and entering the final year of his contract, and said even he doesn’t know if this is his last season with the Lakers, or as a player.
