SURVEY: TRUMP UP SLIGHTLY IN KANSAS

——

Some Kan. cities pay for fixes, split costs with residents

‘‘

By Rochelle Valverde

That is the law we have right now, that it’s the responsibility of the property owner. But let’s be fair about it; we all use the sidewalks, right?”

rvalverde@ljworld.com

As a plan to have property owners maintain, repair and replace sections of sidewalk that abut their properties moves forward, alternative solutions may be coming into sharper focus.

Though state law does say sidewalks are the property owner’s responsibility, it doesn’t stop cities from opting to create and fund their own maintenance programs. The League of Kansas Municipalities doesn’t keep track of how many cities have taken that option, but one doesn’t have to travel far to find exceptions to the rule.

The City of Topeka, for instance, has a 50/50 sidewalk repair program. Residential property owners

with out-of-compliance sidewalks can apply for the program, and the city will split the cost of the repairs. In Lenexa, sidewalks are treated like other public infrastructure and repaired with city funds when any level of street maintenance is done or when a complaint is received.

lightly fewer than half of likely voters in Kansas say they plan to vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to a survey by Fort Hays State University, putting him only 8 percentage points above Democrat Hillary Clinton.

If that holds true, Trump would still win Kansas’ six electoral votes, but with only a slightly larger percentage than Barry Goldwater received in 1964, the last time a Republican candidate lost in Kansas.

The lowest GOP performance in Kansas in recent years was 1992, when George H.W. Bush won the state with 39 percent of the vote in a three-way race with Democrat Bill Clinton and Reform Party candidate H. Ross Perot.

Survey CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Among likely voters who have committed to a candidate, the poll showed 47 percent supporting Trump and 39 percent supporting Clinton. In 1964, Goldwater lost Kansas after getting only 45 percent Meanwhile, voters appear split on whether to retain the five Kansas Supreme Court justices who are up for retention this year. Nearly half of those surveyed said they would vote to oust at least some of the justices.

And among likely voters, when asked to rate each of the six justices individually, fewer than half said they would vote to retain them, while about one-fourth said they would vote to oust the justice, and roughly one-third said they were undecided.

The “Kansas Speaks” survey has been conducted periodically by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State since 2009. The current poll included telephone interviews with 1,043 Kansas residents age 18 and over from Sept. 1 through Oct. 13. Of those, 892 were identified as likely voters.

The margin of error for the entire sample was 3 percent. The margin of error among the subgroup of likely voters was 3.2 percent.

Sidewalk CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx said despite the state law that says sidewalks are the responsibility of individual property owners, he agrees that they are a public asset.

“That is the law we have right now, that it’s the responsibility of the property owner,” Amyx said.

“But let’s be fair about it; we all use the sidewalks, right? It’s something that the person who is right there in front may or may not (use).”

Lawrence does have money allocated for some sidewalk repair, spending approximately $100,000 annually from street maintenance funds on repairing sidewalks and $60,000 repairing sidewalk ramps, according to city staff’s recommended sidewalk plan.

But there are no city funds allocated to cover the $6.1 million of repairs needed for sidewalks on residential property, and residents cannot opt out of repairs by just removing their concrete, brick or stone sidewalk, according to City Attorney Toni Wheeler.

Apart from sending letters to property owners when a complaint is received, the city has not enforced its standing ordinance requiring that they

shifted their support this year to Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, who showed up at 9 percent in the Kansas Speaks poll.

“Trump is polling, right on the money, 10 points below what (2012 GOP candidate) Mitt Romney got in Kansas,” said Michael Smith, a political science professor at Emporia State University and a senior policy fellow at the Docking Institute.

“It looks like the vast majority of those are going to Gary Johnson.”

Clinton, meanwhile, is polling at almost the exact average of 38 percent that Democratic candidates have gotten in Kansas the last four presidential elections.

Judicial retention This year’s judicial retention races have drawn an unusually large amount of attention as conservative groups have campaigned to oust 4 of the 5 justices on the ballot.

“Reject all but Stegall” has been the slogan of one group, Better Judges for Kansas, a political group established by the anti-abortion coalition Kansans for Life.

KFL and other groups say they want to retain Justice Caleb Stegall, the only member of the court appointed by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Another group, Kansans for Fair Courts, has been campaigning to retain all five justices on the ballot.

Speaks

poll also asked people’s opinions on several key policy issues facing the state.

Among all respondents: l President Barack Obama’s approval rating has risen to 40 percent, up eight points from the last poll conducted in July, and up 22 points from the October 2015 poll. l 62 percent said they either somewhat or strongly support expanding Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act. l 56 percent said they think student loan debt is a “major problem” for Kansas, while only 9 percent said it was not a problem at all. l 71 percent said they had at least some confidence that the voting procedures in Kansas are transparent and verifiable. l Half of the respondents said requiring photo ID at the polls and proof of citizenship to register has done more to reduce voter fraud, while 42 percent said the major effect has been to make it more difficult for otherwise eligible voters to vote. l 61 percent said the state should repeal the tax law that exempts income derived from passthrough businesses such as limited liability corporations from state income tax. l 55 percent oppose the so-called “constitutional carry” law allowing people to carry concealed weapons without training or a permit. That includes 44 percent who said they strongly oppose it. l Almost two-thirds, 64 percent, oppose abortion under most circumstances.

the infrastructure sales tax is “a real possibility.”

“Obviously, we’re going to put it off for a year, but I think that is a very important question to ask in the very beginning (of discussion on the tax),” Amyx said. “…Here’s the deal: We’re going to need a funding source to take care of it, and, quite honestly, maybe that’s one way to really look at it.”

Amyx said another idea could be to set up benefit districts for high-priority areas of the city, and look at using the federal Community Development Block Grant Program to help offset costs for low to moderate income individuals. Amyx emphasized that is just one option to consider.

“If we can do something like via the benefit district, where the payback is over a 10-year period, maybe that is a possibility,” Amyx said. “It’s a more affordable way to cover the cost and end up with a product that is very good and something that everybody can enjoy. But here again, it’s just one idea.”

The city’s implementation plan will be reviewed by the newly created Transportation Commission, which will also make recommendations. Both sets of recommendations will return to the City Commission at an upcoming meeting for further review.

territory” for these students as well, who are still unsure of how they’d prefer to use facilities.

But Barron remains excited about the continuation of talks with the community in creating schools that are functional for all, he said. The district will “sit on” its current design until the public votes on the bond issue, approving the multimillion-dollar project or not, in the spring.

That election will hopefully take place in April, Barron said, but first, the district must present a budget to the school board before a resolution can be passed to allow for

marketing of the bond projects. Barron hopes to make that presentation sometime before winter break.

If Lawrence votes to move forward with the 2017 bond, the district will then put out qualifications for an architect and construction company. Gould Evans has only been contracted for the pre-bond planning as of now.

It’s all a “big picture” at the moment, Barron said of improvements such as the LGBTQ-friendly facilities. But he’s having fun with the process.

“I enjoy talking about it,” he added. “I’ll be more excited to talk with you if we do pass it.”

only 29 percent were satisfied with the Kansas Legislature.

“It’s a possible backlash effect,” Smith said.

2018 governor’s race Looking ahead to 2018, the poll also asked about several politicians who are thought to be eying the next governor’s race, even though no one yet has officially announced plans to run.

Among Republicans, Secretary of State Kris Kobach had the highest name recognition, at 81 percent, but also the lowest approval rating.

Almost the exact opposite was true for Attorney General Derek Schmidt, whose name was recognizable to less than half (48 percent) of the people who responded. But among those who had heard of him, he received the second highest rating.

The survey asked people to rate each politician on a scale from minus 5 to plus 5, with minus 5 meaning “highly negative” and plus 5 meaning “highly positive.”

Among the Republicans tested in the poll, 2nd District U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins had the highest average rating of plus 0.63, followed by Schmidt at 0.50 and 3rd District U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo of Wichita at 0.27.

Kobach had an average rating of negative 0.65.

Democrat Paul Davis, a Lawrence attorney who lost the gubernatorial race in 2014 to Republican Sam Brownback, had the highest approval rating among the politicians included in the survey, at plus 1.40.

Voters, however, did not seem to be following either side’s suggestions, according to the Kansas Speaks poll, because the numbers were remarkably similar for each of the five.

Among likely voters, when asked about each justice individually, 43 to 45 percent said they would vote to retain that justice, while 20-22 percent said they would vote not to retain them, and 35-36 percent said they were not sure.

And notably, Stegall, the only justice that nobody is campaigning to defeat, had the lowest numbers of the group: 43 percent in favor of retaining, 22 percent in favor of ousting, and 36 percent undecided.

Smith said those results could mean that most voters don’t make fine distinctions between justices. Or it could mean that the message defining Stegall as Brownback’s appointee has gotten through and fired up the anti-Brownback voters just as much as the anticourt voters.

The poll found that only 19 percent of those surveyed were satisfied with Brownback’s performance in office, while nearly 3 out of 4 (74 percent) were dissatisfied, including 62 percent who said they were “very dissatisfied.”

By contrast, 53 percent said they were satisfied with the performance of Key issues The Kansas the Supreme Court. But

Breaking down the costs The plan was prompted by the final report of the Pedestrian-Bicycle Issues Task Force, which recommended that the city establish a sidewalk maintenance program by 2017 with a plan to bring sidewalks and ramps to code by 2030. The city estimates it would cost approximately $9.4 million to fix the sidewalk deficiencies in the city — $6.1 million for sidewalk repairs, and $3.3 million for sidewalk ramps required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. To cover the $6.1 million of repairs over a 13year period, or by 2030 as the task force suggests, would require about $470,000 per year. The city is funding repairs to ramps, the area where the sidewalk meets the street.

If ramp repairs were included, it would cost

Funding possibilities City commissioners have expressed some interest in a deferral and/ or grant program to cover repairs, but details for such proposals weren’t included in the recommendation recently made

by city staff. Amyx said infrastructure, including sidewalks, is one of the city’s top priorities, and that paying for sidewalk maintenance would probably take a combination of funding sources.

The program in Lenexa also takes that approach.

Sidewalk repair is part of Lenexa’s Pavement Management Program, which is funded through three sources: sales tax (53 percent), gas tax (28 percent) and general fund (19 percent), according to Denise Rendina, Lenexa communications manager.

The city of Topeka allots $100,000 annually for its 50/50 program, according to Aly Van Dyke, a spokeswoman for the city. Van Dyke said the program is currently funded through a halfcent citywide sales tax.

As for Lawrence, Cronin and Amyx both brought up the city’s 0.3 percent infrastructure sales tax, which will expire in 2019. If voters agree to renew that tax, the task force is recommending dedicating .05 percent of it to improving sidewalk infrastructure, including repairs, closing gaps throughout the city, and finishing and adding connectors to the Lawrence Loop. That .05 percent would create an additional $850,000 per year, according to the city plan.

Amyx said he thinks dedicating a portion of

had more work to do at the secondary schools,” said Tony Barron, the district’s executive director of facilities and operations.

This time around, Barron and district leaders turned their attention specifically to LHS, engaging with a steering committee to identify the 62-year-old building’s most pressing needs. After touring newer buildings (i.e., those that had been built within the last 10 years) in Lansing, Lee’s Summit and the Blue Valley district, it became clear to district officials that LHS, in comparison, needed to increase its classroom size.

Gould Evans is proposing

293,000 square feet of classroom renovations to address that problem, which is also being combatted, albeit on a smaller scale, at the much-newer Free State High School. The architects’ plan would add 17,500 square feet to accommodate overcrowding in classrooms.

The additional space, particularly at LHS, is probably the biggest item on the renovation agenda, Barron said.

But the renovations to school locker rooms and restrooms might draw some conversation, at least from a news-cycle standpoint, among the public as the district advances on its

bond-project timeline over the next few months.

“The thought behind this is really unknown right now. The unfortunate thing is, it’s new territory for us,” Barron said of the improvements, which would likely entail private shower facilities and more gender-neutral bathrooms.

“We are mandated, obviously, by federal law, to make accommodations.

We’ve reached out to the LGBTQ community within the school district, and we’ve had one meeting with them to ask, What is the world that you live in?”

What district officials heard in response, Barron said, is that “it’s new

about $723,000 per year.

For comparison, the city has budgeted $886,000 in 2017 for streetlights.

More than one-third of the approximately 40,000 lots in the city have adjacent sidewalks that are out of compliance, according to David Cronin, city engineer and task force liaison. Cronin said that some neighborhoods have no sidewalks, while others have sidewalks on one or both sides of the street.

He said if the city were to contribute funds for their repair, that revenue would have to be in addition to the existing funding for sidewalks.

“Sidewalk maintenance is only a small part of the discussion,” Cronin said. “A lot of it is infrastructure for bicycles and new sidewalks, and that doesn’t cover the maintenance aspect.”

career,” Inez Robinson, a sophomore at Lawrence High School, tearfully recalled that evening to school board members.

“As much as I’m glad to know this is happening, I just don’t know why it didn’t happen sooner.”

Robinson, who had attended the meeting along with her mother, Mitzi, and her four younger siblings, spoke of her experiences as a student of color in the classroom, where she sometimes felt insecure, unsafe and unacknowledged by teachers and staff.

In a subsequent interview with the JournalWorld, she said some of

her concerns stemmed from what she deemed “insensitive” history lessons about her Native American ancestors. Robinson recounted a unit on Native American history, in which teachers screened the 2005 TV miniseries “Into the West” for students studying the Sand Creek Massacre. Robinson, who belongs to the Cheyenne and Kiowa tribes, remembers watching in discomfort as her teacher instructed the class to re-enact an emotional “Into the West” scene that depicted a Lakota boy singing an “honor song” while cutting his hair after being forcibly

relocated to a boarding school.

In her culture, Robinson explains, cutting one’s hair is seen as an act of mourning, a tradition that continues to this day.

When her great-grandmother died, Robinson’s entire family cut their hair, she remembers.

But during class, students were encouraged to perform the honor song in their “silliest voice.”

Whoever could make the funniest job of it earned points for their “tribe,” Robinson said.

“The whole thing was a joke,” she recalls.

Two years later,

Robinson is doing well at LHS — she’s an honorroll student, her mother proudly attests, who keeps busy with marching band, French class and an editor spot on the school newspaper — but still wonders, “Did no one else have these problems at any of the other middle schools?” And, “Why am I not hearing about it with anyone else?”

Three of four candidates for the Douglas County Commission agreed at a forum Saturday that conditions at the county jail justify some kind of building program, and the fourth suggested those issues could be addressed through reforms.

inmates, Derusseau said.

There are structural problems related to overall overcrowding as well as the increase of female inmates and those with mental illness, Derusseau and Thellman said.

practice separate inmates from loved ones, but the added travel made it more difficult and expensive for defense attorneys to see clients, Thellman said.

Moreover, because other counties only accept lower-level offenders, those inmates assigned to outof-county jails can’t take advantage of the county’s re-entry program designed to help inmates succeed after their release.

“When they are placed out of county, all they do is watch television,” Thellman said.

Derusseau said the county has moral and legal obligations to address overcrowding issues.

“We need to remember, the county has an obligation to maintain an adequate jail,” Derusseau said. “It’s

heard similar tales from community members who are now reaching out to her in the wake of the South allegations.

That’s not to say, however, that Beeson needs anecdotes to believe institutionalized racism exists in Lawrence schools.

“Of course it’s here,” Beeson said simply. “It’s everywhere.”

“Those things happen.

They’re real. Those stories are real,” she added. “And we have to continue to work on ways to improve the settings of schools so it feels safe and it feels like a place where people can learn and people are encouraged to become whatever they want to be when they grow up. That’s our job.”

Behaviors, she said, are learned. And Vanessa Sanburn, her colleague on the school board who is a social worker, agrees with her on that. There are several studies, Sanburn says, that prove this.

There are also some pretty obvious indications

that students of color, both locally and nationally, are struggling academically in comparison with their white counterparts.

And that, Sanburn and the school board collectively agree, is a reflection on the system, not the students.

The Center for Education Policy Analysis at Stanford University found that, although achievement disparities between white and nonwhite students have lessened significantly since the 1970s, the gap between black and brown students and their white counterparts remains large, ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 standard deviations.

Lawrence, as a school district, has been proactive about this issue, Sanburn said. Stretching back more than a decade, the district’s efforts to combat institutionalized racism have included Beyond Diversity workshops and the introduction of staff-led equity teams at all 21 Lawrence public schools, among other measures. Thus far,

the district has provided training to more than 1,500 school board members, building employees and community partners.

And the work appears to be paying off, at least in regard to the rates at which students of color are graduating high school. Last week, the district shared its most recent graduation rates with the Journal-World. The numbers reveal that, although still trailing whites, students of color — including African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and multiracial students — are now graduating in at least the 85th percentile.

Asians, it should be noted, graduated in 2015 at 100 percent. White students, in comparison, graduated at 93 percent that year.

But the school board acknowledges there is more work to be done.

“So much of this is not purposeful,” Sanburn said of institutionalized racism. It’s also, she said, not a problem that is unique to

Lawrence. But that doesn’t mean that the district and school board have been given a free pass to simply recognize the issue and move along, she stressed.

One effort that has been proposed, even before the allegations at South had been made public, is the integration of more culturally relevant curricula into classrooms. The idea, which is still in early talks, would provide staff with teaching strategies to better represent all students in lesson plans — including, for example, the place of African Americans in U.S. history that extends beyond their roles as slaves.

A series of workshops with this goal in mind are tentatively being planned for next spring.

Mitzi Robinson, who attended South herself and plans to send her younger children there when the time comes, suggested a similar solution when asked what the district might do to avoid the kind of hurt — inadvertent or

not, she recognizes — inflicted on her daughter.

Teachers, she said, must develop an awareness of the many varied experiences of their students, because words have power, and children listen. And, she added, it’s important that the educators in their lives listen to them, too.

After speaking at Monday’s school board meeting, Mitzi does feel better, if only, she said, for finally making herself heard on matters that she said have been brushed aside, from her perspective, for years.

Her daughter does, too.

“I could care less what repercussions come from these teachers,” Mitzi said. “I just need to feel heard. I want to be heard.”

“I work two jobs to live here. I could go live in a cheaper community and raise my family without having to break my back every day. But it’s a good school district and a good community,” Mitzi said. “I pay the cost to live here, so all I want is to be heard.”

not an option. It’s a legal obligation that has to be met.”

The county’s approach to jail overcrowding isn’t limited to expansion, Thellman said. Among the incarceration alternatives being considered is the Access, Identify and Divert Program, which aims to quickly arrange treatment for women in trauma situations, veterans and those with mental illness, she said. The county is also expanding the use of electronic monitoring devices in place of incarceration and is introducing a pretrial program aimed to keep those on diversion or bail from returning to cells because of missed court dates, she said.

Thellman added that the County Commission is funding for 2017 a behavioral court that will get inmates out of jail and into supervised treatment.

Formerly referred to as the mental health court, its

new name more accurately signifies its availability to those with the dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, she said.

Chahine said he supported jail renovations after witnessing during a tour four to six female inmates housed in a cell designed for two. He did suggest there would be less need for jail expansion if there was a focus on “restorative justice” in the Douglas County District Courts. The concept would put an emphasis on treatment and rehabilitation of offenders instead of punishment, he said.

The concept was the focus of the Lawrence faith coalition Justice Matters’ recently released report listing recommended reforms to the county’s criminal justice system.

Brinson also endorsed the restorative justice idea. He suggested the county could adopt a number of programs that

two organizations in the criminal justice field, the Vera Institute and Justice Management Institute, have helped implement in other jurisdictions. Justice Matters recommends the county hire a consultant from one of the institutes to work with the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.

Among the proposals Brinson endorsed was the hiring of mental health first responders to ride with law enforcement officers making calls involving possible individuals with mental health issues.

He also suggested the county work with school districts to identify and get counseling for those students who have been physically or sexually abused, have parents who are separated, divorced or substance abusers, or have experienced other factors that have shown to put them at risk of future criminal activity.

Before a decision on a crisis center was made, the county needed to ensure the programs it would house would be efficient and effective, Brinson said.

Thellman said she was the first to insist the county address the mental health issues in and out of the criminal justice system when the County Commission first started reviewing the issue of jail overcrowding more than three years ago.

Although she continues to support jail expansion and the crisis center, Thellman said it would be the County Commission seated in January who would decide how a question or questions funding the two facilities would be presented to voters.

Despite his support for jail upgrades and the crisis center, Chahine said the county should not advance a single ballot question on funding the jail project and crisis intervention center.

He supported moving ahead with the crisis center immediately.

“There is a mental health crisis in Lawrence and Douglas County,” he said. “As a business owner downtown, I see it every day.”

Derusseau said she had no present position on the linkage question. The Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council’s ongoing review of the county’s criminal justice system since it was formed in March made any position premature, she said. It would be irresponsible to make any commitment to anything until the coordinating council produced proposals, she said.

Brinson said linking the two proposals would reinforce the stereotype that those with mental illness were criminals.

“I don’t think they should be linked,” he said.

“If elected, I will fight for that.”

Set a record Early signs indicate voter turnout is much higher than usual, and that’s great for Kansas and democracy.

I

t’s encouraging to see Kansans turning out in record numbers to vote early.

Hopefully it’s a sign that voter participation will reach record levels on Nov. 8. Democracy is best served when turnout is high.

The secretary of state’s office reported that as of Thursday, 67,211 people had voted in advance in person in the state, almost double the 33,832 who did so at that point in the 2014 election. Mail-in ballots are going out at roughly the same pace, with 173,893 mail-in ballots sent out since Oct. 19 across Kansas. Of those, 49,568 mail-in ballots have been returned.

The turnout numbers are bipartisan.

Fifty-one percent of the people who have voted in advance in person have been registered Republicans, while registered Democrats, who historically have had stronger early voting turnout than Republicans, account for 34 percent. Half of the mail-in ballots sent out went to registered Republicans, compared with 32 percent for Democrats.

Early voting in Douglas County is on track to top the 2008 presidential election, which was the county’s record year, County Clerk Jamie Shew said. As of last week, in-person early voting totals were running at about twice the pace of 2008, when 17,156 ballots were cast in advance.

Kansas voters don’t need a reason to vote in advance, and voters can find information on voting and locations on the elections section of the Douglas County website, douglascountyks.org “I think our advanced turnout is going to be much larger than we’ve ever experienced before,” Shew said.

But Shew isn’t sure that the strong advance turnout will translate into higher participation overall. He noted that the current presidential election campaign has been going on longer than any in history and that he senses many are choosing to vote early simply to get the election over with. He indicated that most of the advance voting has been by existing voters rather than new voters.

Still, the advance voting trends are worth touting, especially given the atmosphere in which the ballots are being cast.

Given a presidential race in which both major party candidates carry record disapproval ratings, some feared that voters, uninspired by the options at the top of the ballot, would choose not to participate.

Early voting indicates that no matter their concerns about the candidates, Kansas residents are making sure their voice is heard.

In 2008, nearly 54,000 people cast ballots in the general election in Douglas County. Turnout was 64.7 percent among the county’s registered voters. It would be great to see the county top both numbers in the next couple of weeks.

For GOP, defeat is not enough I don’t want the Republican Party defeated next week.

This is written, just so you know, following an email exchange with a reader who suggested a recent column had been penned in consultation with the White House to soften the ground for a new presidential directive.

It is written in the wake of a conservative talk show host telling his audience that the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that damaged Donald Trump’s candidacy was a setup by CIA agent Billy Bush. It is written as the internet is in a state of mass arousal over a rumor that candidate Obama “flaunted his erection” to women reporters on his campaign plane in 2008.

It is written, in other words, on an average day in the pest-ridden, plagueinfected swamp of rumor, rancor, conspiracy and flat-out bollocks that now counts as Republican political discourse. More to the point, it is written out of concern over what and how the country will be after the election.

So yeah, I don’t want the GOP defeated.

I want it immolated.

I want it razed to the

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

The crazy must be rebuked emphatically, refuted in a way that leaves no doubt: We are better than this.” foundation, reduced to a moonscape, left unlivable even for cockroaches, much less newts. I want it treated like boot heels treat ants and furnaces treat ice cubes, treated like a middle-school basketball team playing the ‘71-’72 Lakers.

Defeat is not enough. Let there be humiliation. Let there be pain.

This lavish disgust has nothing, absolutely zilch, to do with conservative ideology. It is not in opposition to Republican positions on taxes, regulation, LGBTQ rights, immigration or foreign policy. But it has everything to do with the party’s

willing and expedient embrace of crazy.

Granted, Republicans did not invent paranoia, persecution complexes or reality estrangement. I remember as a child hearing the barbershop regulars spin elaborate theories of how the moon landing was a hoax and Neil Armstrong’s “one small step for a man” actually took place in a New Mexico desert.

It seemed pretty harmless at the time.

The GOP’s innovation was to harness and nurture that craziness for votes. It flattered and wooed the guy in the barbershop — and the woman in the beauty parlor — by taking them seriously.

Through its media partners — Fox “News” and talk radio kingpins from Limbaugh on down — and with the timely arrival of the internet and social media, it gave them support and a megaphone.

In return, it reaped the nigh-nuclear energy of kooks, cranks, outcasts and iconoclasts whose take-noprisoners anger invigorated a Grand Old Party. But they also pushed that party further and further to the right — past Nixon, past Reagan and the Bushes, past politi-

cal and intellectual coherence. Past decorum.

Until finally, the party sold its soul to the Donald.

The damage to GOP credibility is profound. The damage to America is worse. We find ourselves a nation that cannot have meaningful discussion of its issues because some of us have pulled away from the center, from common cause and shared mission, choosing instead to dwell in a pestilential swamp where newspaper hacks collude with presidents and Billy Bush is Jason Bourne.

So the crazy must be rebuked emphatically, refuted in a way that leaves no doubt: We are better than this. That’s what’s best for the nation. It’s also what’s best for principled conservatives powerless against a virulent cancer that has metastasized through their party. Maybe they’ll be able to save that party — or build a new one. Either way, the mission statement here for thoughtful Americans could not be more clear. Do not defeat the GOP. Nuke it.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Oct. 30, 1938, the radio play “The War of the Worlds,” starring Orson Welles, aired as part of “The Mercury Theater on the Air” on CBS. (The broadcast, which employed a series of fake news reports about a Martian invasion, was said to have panicked some listeners, although how many has never been definitively established.) l In 1945, the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing, effective at midnight. l In 1953, Gen. George C. Marshall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Albert Schweitzer received the Peace Prize for 1952. l In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the “Tsar Bomba,” with a force estimated at about 50 megatons.

As New Hampshire goes, so goes the Senate?

Manchester, N.H. — in 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt defeated Kansas’ Gov. Alfred Landon in 46 of the 48 states, thereby creating the jest, “As Maine goes, so goes Vermont.” Eight decades later, New England has gone from the Republicans’ last redoubt in a bad year to their least receptive region in any year. Its six states have made 36 decisions in the last six presidential elections and the score is Democrats 35, Republicans 1 — New Hampshire supported George W. Bush in 2000. Republicans hold just two of New England’s 21 congressional seats, and two of 12 Senate seats, those of Maine’s Susan Collins and New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte.

Just nine months ago — time flies when you’re having fun — Donald Trump won his first victory in this state’s primary. Ayotte could become an especially regrettable part of the collateral damage his campaign is doing to the party with which he is temporarily identified. But she probably will survive his undertow and win a second term, partly because she is almost everything people say they want in politics: She is neither old nor rich nor angry.

She is 48 and often finds life amusing, as she recently did concerning former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh’s problem. He is trying to convince Indiana to return him as a senator to

George Will

“

This year, New Hampshire has what has become a rarity, a choice between two grown-ups.”

Washington, where he has lived and prospered since voluntarily leaving the Senate in 2011. When he was recently asked the address of his Indiana condominium, he was stumped. Ayotte, laughing, says, “I probably couldn’t tell you my address in Washington.” There she lives in a basement apartment, returning on weekends to New Hampshire, where her husband runs a small landscaping and snow removal business.

This year, New Hampshire has what has become an American rarity, a choice between two grown-ups.

Ayotte is the state’s former attorney general. Her opponent, Maggie Hassan, 58, is ending her second term as governor. Both women have approximately 100 percent name recognition and benefit from what an Ayotte aide calls “three degrees of

separation”: Almost everyone in this small state has, or knows someone who has, met or otherwise had contact with the two.

Which works to Ayotte’s advantage. She is running by running 5K races, bagging groceries, riding all-terrain vehicles in the woods and generally smothering the state with retail politics.

Hassan, whose challenge is to give voters a reason to fire Ayotte, is relying heavily on negative ads, especially ones criticizing Ayotte’s path to her current position of refusing to vote for Trump.

But paid ads often do not dent “three degrees of separation” knowledge. Sixtyfour percent of voters say Ayotte’s path to separation from Trump “makes no difference” to them. Last week, UMass Amherst/WBZ released a poll of likely voters, including those “leaning toward” a candidate, showed Ayotte with a 4-point lead.

Which must reflect the fact that, in a survey of eight swing states, New Hampshire had the largest portion of voters (9.7 percent) intending to vote both for Clinton and for a Republican Senate candidate.

New Hampshire campaigning is costly because candidates must advertise on Boston television, which is watched by almost 85 percent of New Hampshire voters. Of the state’s 1.3 million residents, the 720,000 who will vote for senator are the

targets of the $125 million — $173.61 per vote — that will be spent on the Senate contest by Nov. 8. Ayotte will be outspent on television by $20 million — by $10 million in the last two weeks — but in this politics-saturated state, broadcast political ads may be the equivalent of wallpaper — semi-seen but not really noticed.

For 36 years, the Senate seat Ayotte occupies has been held by representatives of a distinctive New Hampshire Republicanism.

Warren Rudman for two terms and Judd Gregg for three brought flinty fiscal Puritanism to bear on the federal government’s mismanagement of its fisc. New Hampshire currently has a Democratic senator, a member of Congress from each party, and a close contest for governor, so were Ayotte to lose, the state could be entirely blue, which does not suit the prickly (“Live Free or Die”) and purple spirit of a state where 40 percent of voters are registered independents. In this year’s crowded New Hampshire Republican primary, Ohio’s Gov. John Kasich finished second to Trump. Today, only 17 percent of those who supported Kasich support Trump. The center-right of the Granite State seems likely to decide this race, giving rise to the saying, “As New Hampshire goes, so goes the Senate.”

SURVEY: TRUMP UP SLIGHTLY IN KANSAS

——

Some Kan. cities pay for fixes, split costs with residents

By Rochelle Valverde

That is the law we have right now, that it’s the responsibility of the property owner. But let’s be fair about it; we all use the sidewalks, right?”

rvalverde@ljworld.com

SUNDAY, MONday & TUESday

As a plan to have property owners maintain, repair and replace sections of sidewalk that abut their properties moves forward, alternative solutions may be coming into sharper focus.

Though state law does say sidewalks are the property owner’s responsibility, it doesn’t stop cities from opting to create and fund their own maintenance programs. The League of Kansas Municipalities doesn’t keep track of how many cities have taken that option, but one doesn’t have to travel far to find exceptions to the rule.

The City of Topeka, for instance, has a 50/50 sidewalk repair program. Residential property owners

with out-of-compliance sidewalks can apply for the program, and the city will split the cost of the repairs. In Lenexa, sidewalks are treated like other public infrastructure and repaired with city funds when any level of street maintenance is done or when a complaint is received.

lightly fewer than half of likely voters in Kansas say they plan to vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to a survey by Fort Hays State University, putting him only 8 percentage points above Democrat Hillary Clinton.

If that holds true, Trump would still win Kansas’ six electoral votes, but with only a slightly larger percentage than Barry Goldwater received in 1964, the last time a Republican candidate lost in Kansas.

The lowest GOP performance in Kansas in recent years was 1992, when George H.W. Bush won the state with 39 percent of the vote in a three-way race with Democrat Bill Clinton and Reform Party candidate H. Ross Perot.

DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

AG Lynch opposed FBI chief’s statement

Donald Trump, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Friday, amplified his views on the email probe.

Kevin Johnson and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

made up their minds about her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

“I think that’s factored into what people think,” Clinton told reporters in Des Moines on Friday, “and now they’re choosing a president.”

At initial glance, it appears the new FBI development will benefit Trump, who trails Clinton in most national and swing-state polls, analysts said — maybe not by changing people’s minds, but by prompting equivocal voters to back the New York businessman.

“It reframes the election as a referendum on Clinton and all the baggage she brings into office with her,” said Republican consultant Bruce Haynes, founding partner of Washington-based Purple Strategies. “It puts the spotlight squarely back on her, all her faults and all the truckloads

WASHINGTON Attorney General Loretta Lynch objected to the decision by FBI Director James Comey to notify Congress that the bureau was reviewing newly discovered emails that might be related to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, according to an official familiar with the matter.

Lynch’s views were relayed to Comey just hours before the FBI director transmitted a letter to federal lawmakers indicating that investigators were reviewing the emails that may or may not have a bearing on the Clinton case, said the official, who is not authorized to comment publicly. The FBI decided in July not to charge anyone in the investigation.

The official said Lynch was standing by long-held Justice Department policy that federal authorities should not take any action that may interfere with an election. While Lynch made her position clear, the official said, Comey acted independently of the attorney general.

A second federal official familiar with Comey’s decision said Saturday that the FBI director considered the attorney general’s advice during a spirited discussion of the matter Thursday and early Friday but felt compelled to act.

The emergence of the FBI director’s letter to Republican lawmakers has jolted the presidential race in its final 10 days, angering the Clinton camp and giving Donald Trump and Republicans new hope.

Vice President Biden called the situation “unfortunate” and urged the FBI to “release the emails for the whole world to see.” That was the message Clinton sent Friday night when she said, “The American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately.”

Until Friday, Clinton appeared to be coasting to a comfortable victory on Nov. 8, with campaign aides talking openly about expanding the Electoral College map to previously safe Republican states such as Arizona, Georgia and even Texas. National polls showed her leading by anywhere

Trump capitalizes on opportunity in latest Clinton email chapter Labels it ‘the biggest political scandal since Watergate’ David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid takes a heavy blow, and Donald Trump sees a big opportunity.

The stunning statement by FBI Director James Comey that agents are reviewing newly discovered information regarding Clinton emails rocked the presidential race this weekend, though analysts said it will be a few days before the campaigns know whether actual voters’ minds are being changed.

Certainly Trump sees the probe as an election-changing event, telling supporters in Colorado on Saturday that the “criminal and illegal conduct of Hillary Clinton” amounts to “the biggest political scandal since Watergate.”

As the crowd chanted “lock her up! lock her up!” Trump said that “Hillary has nobody to blame but herself for her mounting legal troubles.”

He added later that “she is so guilty,” and “a vote for Hillary is a vote to surrender our country to corruption.”

Clinton and her aides, who are demanding that the FBI release more information about its review, said voters have already

Attorney General Loretta Lynch isn’t the first to have a run-in with her FBI director.

4 years after Superstorm Sandy, N.Y. rail still needs work Despite federal aid, it’s still chugging back Matt Coyne

The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News WHITE PLAINS , N.Y.

The statistics associated with Superstorm Sandy, the massive hurricane that made landfall in New Jersey on Oct. 29, 2012, and swamped the region, remain staggering.

The Hudson River swelled more than 10 feet during the storm. Seventy-mph winds were recorded in White Plains. More

than 300,000 people in Westchester were in the dark for as much as a week. Across the river, 80% of Orange and Rockland Utilities’ 300,000 customers were without power. Some reports put the death toll in the New York area as high as 106.

Few agencies were hit as hard as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which shuttered bridges, tunnels and rails in preparation for the storm. Sandy cost the agency $5 billion in lost revenue and what was estimated to be tens of millions of dollars in devastation to Metro-North railroad.

While the system bounced back quickly in the wake of the

storm, four years later, the railroad is still carrying out repairs tied to the storm’s destruction.

The storm surges on the Hudson were enough to lift a boat out of a nearby marina and drop it on

the Hudson Line tracks in Ossining. In some places, downed trees crushed the third rail, from which Harlem and Hudson line trains draw power, and the overhead wires that provide electric-

ity for New Haven Line trains.

The flooding at Tarrytown station was so severe, the station’s big wooden benches floated and the building had to be closed due to mold.

“We lost a lot of substations and signal equipment,” said thenrailroad spokeswoman Marjorie Anders. “We had tremendous amount of tree damage. We had stations and tracks underwater.”

The railroad has received $313 million from the Federal Transit Administration to help get back up to speed. But the first phase of those repairs will not be done until December 2017, according to the railroad.

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen @coopallen USA TODAY

It’s really here: The final full week of campaigning before the election is left to the voters — and it appears as if the race will end much as it began.

On Friday, news broke that the FBI would review additional emails related to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server, a development that Republicans, including Donald Trump, were quick to pounce on.

Will it have a measurable impact on the race? We’ll know soon enough.

More news from the week in politics: CLINTON MAINTAINS FORMIDABLE FINANCIAL EDGE October campaign finance reports filed Thursday night showed Hillary Clinton is not just leading Donald Trump in polls but also fundraising. In the first 19 days of the month, Clinton brought in $52.8 million, while Trump’s haul was $30.5 million.

As for cash on hand, the Democratic nominee’s advantage was even more pronounced: Clinton had $62.4 million left in the bank, while her Republican opponent had just $15.9 million.

WHAT IF THE TOP OF THE TICKET WERE REVERSED? It’s no secret that both presidential nominees have unusually high unfavorability ratings. So it’s likely not surprising that a new AP-GfK poll found that the state of the race would be a bit different with a different candidate leading each ticket.

For instance, if GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence were facing Clinton in a head-tohead matchup, AP Clinton would Kaine be ahead by just 4 percentage points among likely voters, the poll found. Contrast that with Clinton’s lead over Trump in the same poll, which was 13 percentage AP points in a Pence two-way race.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine would do only slightly better against Trump than Clinton. The poll found the Virginia senator would lead the tycoon by 16 percentage points.

Email Clinton team: FBI probe director’s letter feeds reframes partisan exaggeration election v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Podesta: Comey’s October surprise an attempt at distraction Heidi M. Przybyla and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign officials said FBI Director James Comey’s letter to Congress regarding new emails under review by his agency is so vague it has allowed Republicans to “extort and exaggerate” about her private email server 10 days before the Nov. 8 presidential election.

“No one can separate what is true from what is not because Comey has not been forthcoming with the facts,” Clinton campaign manager John Podesta said in a Saturday conference call, accusing Comey of providing “selective information.”

“There’s no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication that this is even about Hillary,” Podesta said. “It’s hard to see how this amounts to anything, and we’re not going to be distracted.”

In a Friday letter to the chairmen of several congressional committees, Comey said that, in the course of a separate investigation, officials uncovered more emails that “appear to be pertinent” but “may or may not be significant.”

Subsequent news reports said the emails appear to come from a laptop used jointly by former congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide. Weiner is under investigation in a separate case involving sexting with a minor.

That raises questions about whether Clinton’s emails are even at issue in the review.

In the call, both Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook blamed Comey for what they characterized as an “extraordinary step” in releasing the letter to members of Congress. It’s possible, they said, that most or all of the emails in question are just duplicates of others already reviewed by the FBI. “He owes the public the full story, or else he should not have cracked open this door in the first place,” Mook said. Podesta called the letter “long on innuendo and short on facts.” Clinton is due on Saturday to campaign in Daytona Beach, Fla., and attend a get-outthe-vote event in Miami with music stars Jennifer Lopez, Gente de Zona and DJ Extreme.

Republicans pounced almost immediately after the letter was disclosed — including Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, who declared her email woes worse

Hillary Clinton waves as she boards her campaign plane at Westchester County Airport on Saturday in White Plains, N.Y. than Watergate and, with no basis, suggested the development might cause the FBI to reverse its previous decision not to pursue criminal charges.

“Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have not seen before,” Trump said at a Friday rally in New Hampshire. On the FBI, he said: “I think they’re gonna right the ship.”

Previously, Comey testified that no reasonable prosecutor would have brought charges against Clinton, even as he said she had been “extremely careless” in handling classified

“In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it,” said Comey, according to the note to employees.

Yet Comey is coming under intense pressure to provide more information given the proximity to the election, including whether Clinton’s emails are at issue. He’s also been in the crosshairs of con-

information.

Podesta noted that congressional Republicans, not the FBI director, are now characterizing the review of the new emails as a reopening of the original email probe, something it is not. “This is exactly the problem that Director Comey has created,” Podesta said. “He’s allowed partisans to extort and exaggerate.”

Comey has said nothing publicly, though later Friday he sent a letter to FBI employees, obtained

by The Washington Post, seeking to explain his decision to drop the letter days before a presidential election. Comey said that although he felt obligated to “sup-

gressional Republicans vowing to pursue an investigation of his investigation. Long-standing Justice Department protocol discourages public comments on ongoing investigations as well as steering clear of anything that could influence elections.

For that reason, Attorney General Loretta Lynch made clear Saturday morning that she had objected to the decision. A second federal official familiar with Comey’s decision said Saturday that the FBI director considered the attorney general’s advice during a spirited discussion of the matter Thursday and early Friday but felt compelled to act.

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz

CHAFFETZ, AGAIN, CHANGES HIS MIND ON TRUMP Good luck keeping track of whether some Republican elected officials are backing their party’s presidential nominee.

Since the release of the 2005 “Access Hollywood” recording early this month, in which Trump is heard bragging in graphic terms about his ability as a celebrity to grope women, a number of Republican officeholders have rescinded their support of the real estate mogul.

For some, however, this decision didn’t prove to be so simple.

Take Rep. Jason Chaffetz, RUtah, for instance, who in the wake of the Trump tape becoming public said, “I’m out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president.”

Last week, though, Chaffetz made clear he still wasn’t endorsing Trump, nor would he “defend” the GOP nominee, but nevertheless he would cast a ballot for him.

“HRC is that bad,” the chairman of the House Oversight Committee wrote on Twitter, in reference to Clinton.

from 4 to 12 percentage points.

But Comey’s decision to mention new emails — without any immediate prospect of clarifying their content — created opportunities for the Trump campaign.

In the letter to congressional leaders explaining his decision, Comey said “the FBI cannot yet assess” whether the information is “significant,” nor could he offer a timetable for how long it will take investigators to make an assessment.

An official familiar with the matter said Friday that the new materials, perhaps thousands of emails, were discovered in the ongoing and separate investigation into sexually charged communications between former U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner of New York and a 15-year-old girl.

Comey was briefed on the findings in recent days, resulting in the director’s notification to Congress, said the official, who is not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The emails were discovered in a search of a device or devices used by Weiner, who is separated from his wife, longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Abedin also had access to the same device or devices.

The official said it was not likely that the FBI’s review of the additional emails could be completed by Election Day. After Comey was briefed on

the material discovered in the Weiner inquiry, the official said, he gathered members of the investigative team in the Clinton case and top staffers to discuss how to proceed and whether a notification should be made to lawmakers. Comey had testified as recently as September that no additional information had been presented to investigators involved in the Clinton matter.

The discussion, the official said, continued into early Friday

“There’s no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication that this is even about Hillary.”

John Podesta, Clinton campaign chairman

and weighed the view transmitted to the bureau by Lynch. But Comey ultimately believed he needed to act to correct his previous testimony.

Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook held a conference call Saturday in an effort to cast the FBI revelations as overblown.

“There’s no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication that this is even about Hillary,” Podesta said. “It’s hard to see how this amounts to

anything, and we’re not going to be distracted.”

The two campaign chiefs blamed Comey for what they both characterized as his “extraordinary step” in releasing the letter to members of Congress.

It’s possible, they said, that most or all the emails in question are just duplicates of others already reviewed by the FBI. “He owes the public the full story, or else he should not have cracked open this door in the first place,” Mook said.

Podesta noted that congressional Republicans, not the FBI director, are now characterizing it as a reopening of the original email probe, something it is not.

The Clinton campaign response comes as the differences between the attorney general and FBI director were generating its own focus. Such a public split between the attorney general and the FBI director is rare, but not unprecedented.

Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh feuded in the 1990s when Reno first declined to appoint a special counsel to investigate fundraising practices by then-president Bill Clinton and vice president Al Gore.

The chasm widened when Reno dispatched U.S. marshals to FBI headquarters to seize material related to the government’s inquiry into the 1993 siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

of baggage she brings.”

And there are likely more email stories to come.

In July, Comey announced that the bureau would not pursue charges against Clinton and that the FBI found no evidence of intentional mishandling of classified information. Trump and other Republicans criticized Comey for that decision.

This new phase began when agents discovered the emails as part of another investigation, this one into allegations that former U.S. representative Anthony Weiner sexted a 15-year-old girl. Weiner is the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin; the couple have since separated.

During his appearance in Colorado, Trump said he predicted that Weiner would somehow bring trouble to Clinton. He also wondered whether the candidate would retain Abedin, saying “Huma’s been a problem.”

As the campaigns await new polling data, Haynes noted that recent surveys — pre-FBI — showed a narrowing race, with Trump attracting more support from Republicans who had been skeptical of his candidacy, as well as some independents.

Clinton has for the most part held onto her base voters, Haynes said, but “this news is the kind of late-game bombshell that could cause some of her soft supporters to reconsider and switch.”

Republican pollster Frank Luntz said the email situation is Clinton’s “Achilles’ heel,” but Trump might be wise to play it cool on the campaign trail and “let the information do the talking.”

Said Luntz: “The more he publicly relishes her problem the less able he is to take advantage of it.”

Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said most voters are locked into their choice, but some can still be swayed by developing news events.

Given how little is currently known about these newly discovered emails, this story lends itself to “a lot of wild speculation,” Murray said, so “the question is how this plays on the news programs those swayable voters are watching.”

That said, it seems as if there will be some kind of impact on Clinton, and perhaps Democratic candidates in congressional and state races.

“Unless the FBI closes this new investigation one way or the other next week, the likely impact will be to cut into Clinton’s margin,” Murray said, “with the bigger effect being on down-ballot races than on the outcome of the presidential election.”

EVOLUTION OF THE TORCH

1872

The most recent renovation to the torch involved carefully covering it with thin sheets of 24-karat gold.

Gutzon Borglum redesigned the torch and included 250 amber glass windows creating an illusion of a flickering flame.

Electric lights were added to the interior as well as an additional row of circular lights.

A pyramidshaped skylight was added to the top of the torch as well as larger windows.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

50-mph winds can cause the statue to sway up to 3 inches and the torch up to 6 inches.

Spikes on the crown are rays that represent a radiant halo, also called an “aureole.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

LADY LIBERTY A gift from France, the statue was conceived by Édouard de Laboulaye and designed by FrédéricAuguste Bartholdi, to symbolize friendship between the two countries and their shared love of liberty.

It was dedicated Oct. 28, 1886, and welcomes about 4 million visitors every year.

PATH TO BECOMING A NATIONAL TREASURE The Statue of Liberty was originally operated by the U.S. Lighthouse Board, since its torch provided navigational aid to sailors.

She holds a tablet inscribed with the date of the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776).

She has a 35-foot waistline

Lady Liberty’s blue-green exterior is due to the effects of aging and daily exposure to moisture on its thin outer layer of copper. Chemical reactions between the metal and water causes the gradual change and ultimately completely altered her look from a reddish brown by 1920.

1901

The U.S. War Department assumed jurisdiction of the statue due to Fort Wood’s status as an operational Army post.

1924

A presidential proclamation declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty within it) a National Monument on Oct. 15.

1956

An act of Congress changes the name of the island where the statue resides from Bedloe’s Island to Liberty Island.

1965

On May 11, Ellis Island was also transferred to the National Park Service and became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument.

1982

In May, President Reagan announced an effort to restore the statue. In total, it cost $87 million. The statue’s skeleton was replaced with stainless steel bars and the torch was replaced (due to water damage) by an exact replica of Bartholdi’s original.

1984

The United Nations designated the monument as a World Heritage Site, even though the monument was closed for renovations at the time.

1986

On July 5, the newly restored statue reopened to the public during Liberty Weekend, which celebrated her centennial.

2001

Following the 9/11 attacks, Liberty Island was closed for 100 days. The statue itself was not reopened until August 2004.

2009 2012

Lady Liberty’s crown finally reopened to the public in July.

Hurricane Sandy hit the New York City area Oct. 29, one day after the 126th anniversary of the statue's dedication.

The surge from the storm covered about 75% of Liberty Island, knocking out power and causing millions of dollars in damages.

STATUE SPECIFICS

Is a reverse mortgage right for you?

For retirees worried about running out of money, it might be smart Deborah Kearns NerdWallet

After Eileen Redden inherited her idyllic childhood home last year, she knew she wanted to live out her days there.

Enamored with the 1945 Cape Cod in Bayside, N.Y., she threw herself — and her savings — into renovating it.

But soon after Redden had spent considerable money on improvements, her business-coaching firm lost a top client. With retirement looming, Redden, 63, needed another source of income.

Today, she’s breathing easier with a reverse line of credit that allows her to pull money from her house as she needs it. Being able to stay in the home she loves while tapping its equity for a financial cushion was a win-win, Redden says.

“The key to deciding if a reverse mortgage is right for you is finding the right company to work with,” says Redden, who did extensive research before contacting American Advisors Group based in Orange, Calif.

“My loan officer took the time to listen to my financial goals, and there was no pressure or sales pitch.”

Redden is one of 58,000 people who took out a home-equity conversion mortgage in 2015, according to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.

An HECM is a federally insured reverse mortgage through the Federal Housing Administration.

If you’re nearing retirement or already there, and you’re worried you won’t have enough money, a reverse mortgage might be a smart strategy.

HOW TO SPOT A REVERSE MORTGAGE SCAM Scammers use a lot of different tactics to trick homeowners into unscrupulous deals. Paul Fiore, executive vice president of retail lending at American Advisors Group, one of the largest reverse mortgage lenders in the country, offers a list of gut checks as you evaluate reverse mortgage offers:

1

DOES THE LENDER TAKE TIME TO UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION AND EDUCATE YOU? If someone is trying to rush you into a decision without taking the time to explain things and offer education, that’s a red flag.

2

DOES THE LENDER ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN REVERSE MORTGAGE COUNSELOR, OR DOES IT TRY TO SELECT ONE FOR YOU? If the lender doesn’t give you a list or pressures you to select a specific counselor, move on.

3

typically come with higher interest rates and stiff penalties if you miss a payment, Nicholson says.

“In retirement, it’s all about having cash flow flexibility and living a simpler way of life,” Nicholson says.

IS THE LENDER ASKING YOU FOR MONEY UPFRONT? Lenders may talk to prospective clients and take preliminary information about their financial situation, but they cannot process an application or obligate the homeowner to specific costs without the homeowner undergoing independent counseling and showing proof of attendance.

WHAT IT COSTS

HOW THEY WORK

Reverse mortgages let homeowners 62 and older access their home’s equity without paying a monthly mortgage or taxes on the proceeds, says Chad Nicholson, a mortgage broker with American Financing in Aurora, Colo.

The FHA’s requirements to apply for a reverse mortgage include that you must be at least 62, that your home is your primary property and you live in it full time, and that you have no delinquent federal debts.

A reverse mortgage isn’t free

money; you have to repay the loan when you sell the home or when you or your spouse no longer live in it, Nicholson notes.

However, your surviving heirs still receive any equity beyond the owed loan amount when they sell the home.

The amount of money you receive is based on a sliding scale of life expectancy; the older you are, the more you can pull out.

All of these reasons make a reverse mortgage a safer option than a home equity line of credit or a personal loan, both of which

One of the drawbacks of a reverse mortgage is the financing costs.

Borrowers can expect to pay up to 6% of their home’s appraised value in fees, including a mortgage insurance premium, thirdparty fees for closing costs, a loan origination fee and a loan servicing fee. Typically, you can roll most of these fees into your loan.

Also, there is a mandatory $125 financial counseling fee required by the FHA. WHEN TO USE ONE

Two-thirds of Baby Boomers who were employed in the private sec-

tor have no retirement income aside from Social Security, while having less than $25,000 in savings and investments.

“Retirees are affected by a lot more risk, and they’re more vulnerable to market volatility,” says Wade Pfau, professor at the American College of Financial Services. “That’s where a reverse mortgage is a useful retirement income tool if you plan to stay in your home long enough to recoup the (loan) costs.”

If you’re a big spender, taking out a reverse mortgage could add to the problem. Be responsible with how and when you use the loan proceeds, or a reverse mortgage could cause more problems than it solves, Pfau says.

Time vs. money: Baby steps toward saving Tanisha A. Sykes

Special for USA TODAY

Ask any parent about the costs of raising a baby, and you’ll encounter a bevy of mixed emotions. After all, having a child is an exciting milestone, but it’s also an investment. In a baby’s first year of life, a middle-income family can expect to spend $16,180, according to the USDA. Some would-be parents may ponder if they will fare better using traditional vs. modern ways of caring for their cherub. “There are always trade-offs to time and money,” says Crystal Stranger, an accountant and author of Pro Choice: A Financial Guide for Women. “It really depends on personal choices and belief systems more than anything else.”

We spoke to parents and family finance experts to compare the costs, benefits and time commitments of old-school baby-rearing vs. more modern ways. Here’s what we discovered.

BREAST-FEEDING VS. BOTTLE

For Laura Knolle, a certified financial planner at EP Wealth Advisors in Lafayette, Calif., and a mom of a 19-month-old, the decision to breast-feed had less to do with cost than a healthful start for her baby. “I would estimate that I saved $60 per month (the cost of two boxes of dry formula) or $720 a year by breast-feeding,” Knolle says. “However, nursing is a major task for a new mom, especially one who works full time.”

And the savings? “Our bodies require more calories, so I’m sure I ate more than I saved,” she says.

CLOTH VS. DISPOSABLES

Disposable diapers are the ultimate convenience item. Babycenter.com estimates disposables will cost parents $72 per month.

If you decide to go au natural and do it yourself with cloth diapers, expect to shell out only $19 per month, plus a small bump-up in

water and electricity usage. On average, that’s a savings of $53 per month, or $636 per year.

Stranger, who has a toddler and another baby due in January, expects to use some cloth diapers this time around in addition to disposables. “Cloth diapers make it easier to transition to toilet training because the child can feel when they are wet,” Stranger says. The cost of diapers vs. disposables comes down to the type you buy, how many your baby uses daily and how long it takes to potty train. Either way, shop around to get the best deal.

COMPARING COSTS OF OPTIONS New parents have lots of decisions to make about how to handle the basics. While cost isn’t always a consideration, here are some numbers to ponder:

MAKING FOOD VS. BUYING

Some parents like the convenience of more costly on-the-go food to supplement their more affordable home cooking. Others — such as Thelma Luisa Anderson, who works 40-plus hours a week as a hairstylist in Teaneck, N.J. — don’t have the luxury of extra time. Even though her son, Rey Alexander, is almost 2, Anderson still sometimes gives him baby food in a jar. “When you buy, you move quicker,” says Anderson, who spends a maximum of $1.50 per jar. “When you’re cooking, you have to take more time.”

DIAPERS

Cost per month

$721

Disposable diapers Cloth diapers

$191

$761

USED BABY GEAR VS. NEW

Secondhand clothing and toys are fine, but when it comes to cribs, strollers and car seats, buy new, says Brett Graff, author of Not Buying It: Stop Overspending and Start Raising Happier, Healthier, More Successful Kids. At a thrift shop, you don’t how old something is, so it may not be up to today’s standards. However, you don’t have to spend thousands. “ A more expensive crib or car seat won’t make your child safer because they all have to abide by the same safety standards.”

When it comes to raising babies, Graff says, it doesn’t come down to one choice over another.

“Evaluate your choices, know what you’re buying, and do what’s best for your family,” she says.

Take ‘me time’ instead of relationship hopping Dear Annie: I can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to my love life. I’m a serial monogamist; I began dating at 18, and I haven’t spent so much as a month single since.

But it seems as if just about every guy I’ve dated ends up being a cheater or a deadbeat.

I started spending time with “Derek,” who is a chef at the restaurant where I work.

I thought things were going great. But a few weeks ago, I went to use my laptop and noticed he was still logged on to Facebook. In general, I try not to snoop, but I couldn’t help it this time. I saw the most recent message, which was from a girl, and they’d been talking regularly for the previous two months — flirting, sending each other selfies. I confronted

Derek, and he insisted that they’re just friends.

I don’t really believe him, but I can’t bring myself to leave him. I don’t know whether there’s anyone better out there. What is it with guys today? — Serially Disappointed Dear Serial: What is so perilous about being single that you rush into shoddy relationships with men you don’t much care for?

That’s not just a rhetorical question. I mean

Short horror films have story strength Director John Carpenter hosts “The People’s Network Showcase: Horror Edition” (7 p.m., El Rey), a two-hour anthology of short horror movies. Entirely too much television is locked into strict time formats. A collection of shorts demonstrates an appreciation for storytelling and the fact that some tales do not fit into neat 22- or 44-minute blocks.

Viewers of viral videos have known this for years.

For the uninitiated, the El Rey Network was founded by director Robert Rodriguez, no stranger to horror and cult films.

O Frights of a different fashion emerge on the second season premiere of “Years of Living Dangerously” (7 p.m., National Geographic). Produced by director James Cameron and actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, “Dangerously” showcases Hollywood stars advocating for awareness of climate change and recognition of its serious threat to life on Earth. Issues discussed include severe hurricanes, deforestation, climate migrants, historic droughts and the rapidly increasing extinction rate facing wildlife.

O One of the marvels of our time is how dependable and durable cars have become. For the most part, they’re also a tad boring. Perhaps that’s why so many car lovers focus on vintage models on shows like “Jay Leno’s Garage” on CNBC, or on spectacularly expensive and rarified vehicles like those celebrated on “Supercar Superbuild” (8 p.m., Smithsonian).

Over the course of the season, “Supercar” will visit the engineers behind brands like Mustang, Viper, Porsche and Pagani.

Sticker shock like that makes me want to change the oil on my 12-year-old Subaru. And try not to burst into song.

Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): From Minnesota to ISIS; legalized pot appears on the ballot in five states; a prison in Malawi, known for its musical inmates and guards.

O The administration tries to correct an oversight concerning Angola on “Madam Secretary” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

for you to really look inward and do some reflecting.

Instead of searching for your next boyfriend, you should be finding yourself. Break up with Derek. Don’t date anyone for six months. Until you learn how to be happy with yourself, you won’t be happy with a partner.

Dear Annie: I do not like animals in places where people live, such as inside homes or in other confined places.

As a child, I was severely traumatized by a dog, and ever since, I haven’t wanted to be in confined spaces with animals. I travel on airplanes several times a year. What are my rights to not have to be subjected to this added stress? — Petless in New York Dear Petless: Victims of dog attacks suf-

fer psychological scars long after the physical wounds have healed, and you have my sympathy in that regard. But let’s not disparage therapy animals. In terms of what your “rights” are: I know that airlines accommodate allergic passengers by reseating them when necessary or, when that’s not an option, by placing them on the next available flight free of charge.

But more generally speaking, you should try to work past your fears. Do you have any friends who have dogs you feel more comfortable around than most?

If so, spend time with them. Exposure therapy can work wonders, but service animals aren’t going away soon.

PATRICIA ELIZABETH GILGIN HAHN

CORINNE W. CLUFF No services for Corinne W. Cluff, 91, Lawrence, KS are planned at this time.

She died Tuesday October 25, 2016, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital due to complications from a hip fracture.

Corinne was born April 4, 1925, in Williamson, WV, the daughter of Howard and Rita (Alley) Wolford.

She and her three siblings were raised mainly by her hard working and industrious mother who instilled in Corinne a life ethic and perspective that made her a joy to be around. She truly appreciated her life and all the wonderful people in it.

She graduated from Williamson High School and followed an older sister to Washington DC where in 1943 she joined the vibrant wartime workforce as a secretary in the Office of Price Administration. She soon became an integral part of issuing gas ration cards, and frustrated many a dignitary when she would not give them special treatment. This came to the attention of Administrator Chester Bowles who eventually made her his personal secretary. In 1946 Corinne moved to the Pentagon to become secretary to Vannevar Bush, the Administrator of the Office of Scientific Research and Development. He hired her, he said, “because she was the one with the happy smile.”

Corinne married Norman A. Cluff, Sr. on October 15, 1949 in Washington DC. He preceded her in death in 2010 after 61 years of marriage.

The couple began married life in Washington DC but moved to St. Louis in 1952 in connection with Norman’s job with the

Department of Defense.

Corinne became a happy homemaker, raising two sons.

She was a great cook and an excellent seamstress.

Norman retired in 1973 and the couple eventually settled in St. Petersburg, Florida where they lived for 28 years at Winston Park NE. During that time the sociable couple developed an extensive group of close friends and engaged in world­wide travel, visiting most of the continents and all states but Alaska. Corinne and Norman moved to Lawrence in 2010 to be closer to their sons.

Survivors include two sons, Norman Cluff, Jr. and his wife Connie, Lawrence, and William (Bill) Cluff, St. Louis, MO; five grandchildren, Livia Erschen and her husband Jake, St. Louis; Will Cluff and his wife Kristy, Shawnee, KS, Tom Cluff and his wife Lindsay, New York, NY, Dan Cluff, St. Louis, and Sarah Cluff, St. Louis; four great­ grandchildren, Cameron, Tommy and Natalie Erschen, St. Louis, and Kellan Cluff, Shawnee.

She is preceded in death by sisters Leota Charles and Roberta Charles, and brother Bob Wolford.

Those of us whose lives Corinne shaped will be eternally grateful for her unwavering devotion and loving passion for our well­being. For those of us whose lives she touched, her fierce yet gentle, proud yet humble zest for life will be part of our hearts forever.

Sooners blast Kansas, 56-3

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Norman, Okla. — The high-octane, score-at-will Oklahoma football offense lived up to its hype Saturday night at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. However, the Sooners’ homecoming foe, ever-overmatched Kansas, couldn’t expose OU’s biggest weakness, its defense.

One great play better than none

Oklahoma scored six of its eight touchdowns on offense, while the Jayhawks never crossed the goal line in any way, shape or form, and OU rolled, 56-3, to remain unbeaten in Big 12 play.

While the Sooners’ first four conference foes burned them for Alonzo Adams/AP Photo 40.5 points a game, Kansas junior quarterback OKLAHOMA WIDE RECEIVER MYKEL JONES, RIGHT, tries to elude a tackle by Kansas’ Tevin Shaw on Saturday night in > JAYHAWKS, 4C Norman, Okla.

Norman, Okla. — Oklahoma wide receiver DeDe Westbrook flew around the right end and had his eyes trained on another big play when freshman safexty Mike Lee closed on him aggressively, hit him hard and popped the football loose with his helmet, a big play at the time in a game Kansas went on to lose, 56-3, Saturday night at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Jayhawks turn back Texas in 5-set thriller

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS MIDDLE BLOCKER KAYLA CHEADLE (3) GETS UP FOR A HIT against Texas outside hitter Paulina Prieto Cerame (19) during the second set Saturday night at Horejsi Center.

After dropping the fourth set 25-12 and giving all the momentum from back-to-back victories in the second and third to Texas, Kansas setter Ainise Havili gathered her team before the decisive fifth and shared one simple message.

“She was like, ‘We’ve worked so hard for this and we’re not gonna roll over. This is our chance and we’ve gotta go take it,’” recalled Kansas junior Madison Rigdon.

Twenty-five magical points and 22 heart-racing minutes later, the sixthranked Jayhawks finally knew how it felt to beat Texas, winning a five-set thriller, over the nation’s second-ranked team, 1725, 25-11, 27-25, 12-25 and 15-10 at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

“

It feels amazing.

We’ve wanted it for so long and it finally happened.”

— Kansas junior Madison Rigdon, on the Jayhawks’ victory over Texas When freshman Jada Burse recorded KU’s 13th block of the night to seal the victory, the gymnasium erupted, the Jayhawks went wild and the party was underway.

“It feels amazing,” said Rigdon after a minicelebration in the locker room that trickled back onto the court and eventually into the stands to thank the die-hard KU volleyball fans in attendance. “We’ve wanted it for so long and it finally happened. I’m like speechless ... It’s more

than I thought it would be. I’m so excited for our team and what’s next.”

Saturday’s match had a little bit of everything and certainly was not for the faint of heart. Texas controlled the net in jumping out to victory in the first set and Kansas responded with a dominant performance in the second.

Junior outside hitter Kelsie Payne, who finished with 21 kills, said she thought KU’s performance in the second set was the turning point because it got KU back in the match and restored the Jayhawks’ confidence.

“We were pretty much perfect,” Payne said of her team in that second set. “We just really played Kansas volleyball.”

Of late, that has meant playing smart, playing hard, playing with a

KANSAS SETTER AINISE HAVILI (11) TACKLES KU RIGHT SIDE HITTER KELSIE PAYNE after the Jayhawks defeated Texas in five sets Saturday night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

Jayhawks credit ‘our home crowd’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

They’ve filled the bleachers for years now and been treated to nationally-ranked teams competing with the best in the Big 12 and their beloved Jayhawks defeating the Missouri Tigers in postseason play in the cozy confines of Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

But there have not been many nights in that building like Saturday night, when No. 6 Kansas snapped a 25-game losing streak to mighty Texas by knocking off the second-ranked Longhorns in five thrilling sets, 17-25, 25-11, 27-25, 12-25, 15-10.

Asked after the match if they would rather have finally broken through against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas, or in Lawrence, the Jayhawks did not hesitate to shine the love right back on to their home fans.

“I love being in front of our home crowd,” junior Kelsie Payne said, still smiling from KU’s monster win. “It’s really cool to be in front of our fans and family and it’s really cool that we could do that in Horejsi.”

Fellow junior Madison Rigdon said she thought the Horejsi fans played a huge part in Saturday’s victory, helping KU “a lot with the energy and excitement.” And Kansas coach Ray Bechard, who remained his cool, calm and collected self

after what is certain to go down as one of the most memorable victories of his stellar coaching career, said he was nearly as happy for those cheering in the bleachers as he was for the Jayhawks in the locker room.

“It was a great evening at Horejsi,” Bechard said. “I just think our fans were really, really into it and wanted this about as much as anybody.”

No band, no problem The normally-rocking, always-wild KU volleyball pep band was unable to attend Saturday’s match because of a competition elsewhere.

While their absence was noticed by most and felt by many, KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said the unfortunate scheduling quirk wound up making the season for several KU volleyball fans.

Instead of leaving the seats in the northwest corner of Horejsi empty, KU sought to fill them.

And it did not take long.

“What we did is we

Asked how quickly those seats were scooped up, Marchiony responded with a laugh and said, “They went fast.”

Challenges key The Kansas and Texas coaches were on the opposite sides of the challenge equation during Saturday’s match, with Bechard winning one of the two challenges he requested and Texas coach Jerritt Elliott losing both of his attempts.

Bechard’s victory came in the second set to put KU up 8-5 instead of 7-6 and his loss came at 17-14 in the pivotal third set.

clear mind and focusing most on the things they could control. The Jayhawks caught a couple of breaks — most notably bang-bang contacts by Burse and Kayla Cheadle that crawled over the net to push KU’s fifth-set lead to 14-10 — but also gave a few points away, as well. In the end, head coach Ray Bechard said KU’s victory came down to one thing — the will of this team to get the result it so desperately wanted and believed it deserved.

“I just think they were

Elliott’s attempts came at 22-all in the third set and with UT trailing 6-4 in the decisive fifth set.

Each coach is allowed just three challenges per match and, after the victory, Bechard shared his philosophy about when to use them.

“If it appears like there’s momentum or like it’s gonna create some spacing or get you closer at a key time, you use it,” He said. “But if there’s something at 22-12, we’re not using it.”

Old-school scoring During a rally in the fourth set, the buzzer on the scoreboard inadvertently sounded and the power to the scoreboard went out.

The rally, which

Hoopers in the house Spotting a few Kansas basketball players at KU volleyball matches is nothing new. But on Saturday night Bill Self’s squad was very well represented at Horejsi.

In addition to Self, who

sat in the stands with wife Cindy and longtime KU basketball secretary Joanie Stephens, Self was surrounded by a handful of players from his roster, as well.

Devonté Graham, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Clay Young and Lagerald Vick all were there. On the other side of the court, behind the Kansas bench, Brennan Bechard, KU’s director of basketball operations and the son of KU volleyball coach Ray Bechard, sat with his family for the memorable match.

gonna stay out there as long as they needed to tonight to beat Texas,” Bechard said.

During Saturday’s good moments and the bad, the Jayhawks found themselves thinking back on a pre-game message from senior setter Maggie Anderson, who had yet to experience the euphoria of knocking off one of college volleyball’s true powerhouse programs.

“Before we came out, Maggie says, ‘I need to beat Texas before I leave here,’ and everybody responded to Maggie, Cassie (Wait) and (Tayler) Soucie and how important that was to them, because those three (seniors) have put in a lot of

hard work for this team.”

Asked how big of a factor that message and the desire to win one for the upperclassmen played on Saturday, Rigdon and Payne uttered nearly the exact same words.

“A lot,” Rigdon said. “I think that pumped us up.

This was their last (time) playing Texas and I think that really motivated everybody to play for each other.”

Saturday’s victory snapped a 25-match losing skid to Texas (17-3 overall, 9-1 Big 12) and pulled the Jayhawks (202, 9-1) into a tie for first place in the Big 12 standings. It also extended KU’s current winning streak to eight matches.

More than that, though, it will go down as the latest stop in what has been an incredible journey during the past few seasons, starting with an NCAA Tournament berth and victory in 2012, a Sweet 16 appearance in 2013 and, of course, last year’s run to the Final Four.

“Obviously they’re gonna be happy about it,” Bechard said. “But this needs to be part of our journey and not our destination.”

After letting the longawaited victory sink in over the weekend, Kansas will return to action Monday in preparation for Wednesday’s showdown with Kansas State in Manhattan.

NOTEBOOK

KU failed to apply needed pressure

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Norman, Okla. — If massive underdog Kansas had any chance of competing on the road at No. 16 Oklahoma Saturday, the Jayhawks’ defense needed to get pressure on Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield.

However, KU only sacked Mayfield once, he threw for 236 yards and four touchdowns, and the Sooners

destroyed their homecoming foe, 56-3.

Second-year Kansas head coach David Beaty said OU’s offensive line stymied the Jayhawks’ plans to pressure Mayfield.

“That helped ’em,” the coach said. “He had a lot of time back there.”

Sophomore KU defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr., of course, ended up being the only Jayhawk to bring Mayfield down. Armstrong

now has at least one sack starting spot, at right guard. in six straight games.

1996, Kansas won at Oklahoma, 52-24. However, the Sooners routinely have steamrolled the Jayhawks since, and extended their home winning streak versus Kansas at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to six.

After Saturday’s blowout, OU has outscored KU 272-74 during its home streak. Oklahoma averages 45.3 points a game in that span, compared to KU’s 12.3.

“They were really good,” Kansas senior cornerback Brandon Stewart said of the Sooners’ skill players, “but I also feel like we didn’t execute our game plan to the fullest. We came out fast but they beat us when it matters. I wouldn’t say they were unstoppable, but they were a really good offense.”

The game plan, Stewart explained, called for

the Jayhawks winning more individual plays.

“It was just man versus man. Most of the time they beat us one-on-one,” Stewart said. “We just didn’t win our matchups. And the scoreboard showed it.”

Unlike Oklahoma, which put up 267 rushing yards and 271 passing yards, nothing worked for Kansas.

Sixteen of Cozart’s 20 completions on the night went for single-digit or negative yardage, leading

to a 120-yard outing on 36 pass attempts. The Oklahoma defense even became the first team to sack Cozart this season, pulling it off three times.

And, as tends to be the case for the turnoverprone KU offense (now 27 turnovers lost on the season), its QB gave away some possessions. The Sooners twice picked off Cozart — the most significant coming one play after KU defensive tackle Daniel Wise recovered a fumble forced by safety

Mike Lee in the first quarter. Cozart wanted to answer quickly with what had the potential to be a go-ahead touchdown throw in the first quarter.

Instead, Jordan Thomas, who abandoned his man, Steven Sims Jr. (five receptions, 35 yards), intercepted an under-thrown ball for tight end Ben Johnson that didn’t quite make it to the goal line.

“We was just trying to get things going,” Cozart said. “Our first couple of drives we got out to a fast start, you know, a couple of plays that we wish we could have back and it’d be a different ball game.”

Kansas punted nine times and only picked up 11 first downs against a Sooners defense that many around Norman had maligned.

Said Beaty: “From our standpoint… I’m not sure we matched up great up front,” the second-year coach offered, before adding OU defends the run well (KU running backs Ke’aun Kinner and Taylor Martin combined for 19 carries and 38 yards). “You’ve got to get to the edge and their edge players made good plays.”

Still, KU’s touchdownless, three-point night had to be pretty disappointing considering the numbers OU had allowed of late, right?

“Yeah, I mean…” a frustrated Beaty said before deciding not to elaborate.

Adrenaline Oklahoma 7, Kansas 3, in overdrive, Wise then sprinted toward the side- but the interception had line, leaped in the air and a feel of finality to it.

Wise’s play was an bumped shoulders with a exciting flash that set the teammate in celebration sideline on fire, even if it of a job well done.

position, all right.

Still breathing heavily, there was no way Wise was ready to return to the field. He took a few plays off.

“I had to get a breather,” Wise said. “Little gassed.”

It was the highlight of a night in which Kansas was outscored 49-0 in the middle two quarters.

“When you see a lineman running like that, it kind of brings you back to playing football when you were 10 years old, just out there having fun when you see stuff like that,” cornerback Brandon Stewart said.

The feeling didn’t last and Kansas head coach/ offensive coordinator David Beaty was in a lousy mood afterward, at least until hearing that KU’s volleyball team had defeated Texas earlier in the night for the first time in the past 25 matches between the schools.

“Did they? Man, that’s awesome,” Beaty said.

“Congratulations to Ray (Bechard) and those guys. I mean, how cool is that, because at one point they were kind of where we are. We draw a lot from Ray Bechard and his staff because of what he did and how he took that program from where it was to where it is today. For them to beat them today, that’s a monumental win for that program. I’m really, really happy for those guys.”

Beaty’s players echoed his sentiments and welcomed the distraction that allowed them to take a momentary detour from rehashing an inevitable beating at the hands of a bigger, faster, more experienced opponent.

At the beginning, the Kansas defense didn’t look at all overmatched against an Oklahoma offense that the previous week had amassed

854 total yards in a game of pinball football game it won vs. Texas Tech, 66-59.

The Sooners didn’t score on the Kansas defense until a few minutes into the second quarter.

As the blowout mounted, the Sooners, whose first touchdown came on Westbrook’s 71yard punt return, seemed to be scoring at will.

That’s nothing new. The Sooners do that to many opponents.

Oklahoma’s defense, torched for 854 yards against Texas Tech, limited KU to 170 total yards, even though on one play the Sooners had just 10 defensive players on the field.

“Last week, we couldn’t have stopped them if we had 12 players out there,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “Tonight we stopped them with 10.”

Ouch!

Montell Cozart and the offense only ventured into Oklahoma territory on three of KU’s 15 possessions and posted just 170 yards of total offense.

What’s more, on the lone occasion the Jayhawks put together an impressive drive, the visitors settled for a 23-yard Matt Wyman field goal after moving 69 yards.

“They got it going from there,” Kansas head coach David Beaty said on one of his several references to the first quarter, when his team only trailed 7-3.

“Their guys had a little bit to do with that. Dede Westbrook (OU senior receiver and returner) is fantastic. He’s as good as advertised and he’s even better when you’re looking at him down on that sideline.”

Although Kansas (1-7 overall, 0-5 Big 12) only trailed by four entering the second quarter, it didn’t take long for one of the conference’s powerhouse programs to unleash its dominance. The No. 16 Sooners (6-2, 5-0) did as they pleased, offensively.

Receiver extraordinaire Westbrook didn’t complete a trick-play pass attempt, but roasted KU for a 71-yard punt return touchdown, as well as 105 receiving yards and another TD, plus 24 rushing yards as the 86,301

The narrowest Kansas loss at OU since the Big 8 became the Big 12 came in 2008. The Jayhawks, ranked No. 16, lost 45-31 to the No. 4 Sooners.

Oklahoma freshman DE Bledsoe suspended

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Norman, Okla. — Former Lawrence High standout defensive end Amani Bledsoe, a freshman defensive end for Oklahoma, didn’t dress for Saturday night’s game against his hometown school and he won’t be in uniform again until the

Sooners’ eighth game of the 2017 season, the Journal-World has learned.

The NCAA has suspended Bledsoe for a year for failing an NCAA performanceenhancing drug test, according to multiple sources. Bledsoe, who broke the hearts of the Kansas coaching staff when he chose

to continue his education and football career at Oklahoma, plans to appeal the suspension, according to a source close to the situation.

Informed of the suspension shortly before kickoff by text, before the reason for it had been learned, Wedd was startled to hear the news: “Totally out of character.

I’d trust him with my grandchildren. I love him like a son.”

Bledsoe was listed second on Oklahoma’s depth chart in the game notes.

He had appeared in each of the past five games for the Sooners and assisted on two tackles in the Louisiana-Monroe game and assisted on another last week vs. Kansas State.

Bledsoe, blessed with good speed and agility for a man who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds on the Oklahoma roster, helped Lawrence High to a 10-1 record as a senior in 2015.

Oklahoma officials called the length of the suspension “indefinite” and did not specify the cause of it.

Indians 7, Cubs 2 Chicago (ap) — One more win and baseball fans everywhere might finally believe in these Cleveland Indians.

That’s all it will take for Corey Kluber & Co. to clinch this World Series.

Kluber pitched six sparkling innings on short rest for another win, Jason Kipnis hit a three-run homer in his hometown and the Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 7-2 Saturday night to take a 3-1 lead.

Carlos Santana also connected for the first of his three hits as Cleveland moved closer to its first championship since 1948. Trevor Bauer gets the ball Sunday night at Wrigley Field in Game 5 when the Indians try for the franchise’s third World Series title against Jon Lester and the faltering Cubs.

“I think we like the position we’re in, but the task isn’t done yet,” Kluber said. “We still have one more game to win, and we’re going to show up tomorrow and play with the same sense of urgency we’ve played with until this point. We don’t want to let them build up any momentum and let them get back in the series.”

Still, not bad for a team that seemed like an underdog all year long.

Manager Terry Francona’s club beat the defending champion Royals and star-studded Tigers for the AL Central title, and then eliminated David Ortiz and the Red Sox and the heavy-hitting Blue Jays on their way to the AL pennant.

Then much of the talk centered on the major league-leading Cubs and their 108-year championship drought. But it’s been mostly Indians once more as they moved to 10-2 in this postseason. They did it with Francona pushing all the right buttons while he improved to 11-1 in the World Series.

The Indians now will try to bring another crown to Cleveland, adding to the one LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned earlier this year.

Dexter Fowler doubled and scored in the first for the Cubs, and then homered against Andrew Miller in the eighth. Fowler’s drive to left-center was the first homer for Chicago in the World Series since Phil Cavaretta connected in Game 1 in 1945 and the first run allowed by Miller during his dominant postseason.

In between Fowler’s two hits, the Cubs came up empty every time they had a chance to put any pressure on Cleveland.

“So we made mistakes.

Absolutely, we made mistakes tonight,” manager Joe Maddon said.

“That was part of it. But then again, we just have to do more offensively to give ourselves a chance.”

The Indians won for the second straight day at Wrigley — those two wins matched the Cubs’ entire total of World Series victories in more than a century of playing at their famed ballpark.

“They’re obviously doing something right, taking advantage of our mistakes and my mistakes,” Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant said.

FSHS girls runners claim 6A crown

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

For a brief moment after the race, the Free State girls cross country team was unsure how it finished.

But as soon as the news came that they had won a Class 6A state championship, the Firebirds began hollering and hugging each other. It marked the fourth straight first-place finish for FSHS this season, including three golds in as many postseason races.

“It’s hard to do what they did,” coach Steve Heffernan said. “Because you don’t see too many teams win league, regionals and state. Because that pressure builds each time you go out. I’m really happy with how they ran.”

Senior Emily Venters anchored the team to its first state title since 2013, with a second-place finish in Saturday’s 6A girls race at Rim Rock Farm.

Venters clocked a time of 18:09.9 — two seconds shy of her best course time — to earn the silver in the final race of her cross country career.

Prior to Saturday, Venters had already sealed a pair of state titles on her

FREE STATE SOPHOMORES JULIA LARKIN, LEFT, AND EMMA HERTIG, CENTER, hug senior Emily Venters after finding out they won the Class 6A girls cross country state title Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. Venters was the state runner-up with a time of 18:09.9, and Larkin and Hertig came in 16th and 28th, respectively, to help the Firebirds win their first state championship since 2013. prolific resume. But it was the team crown that will leave a lasting memory for her.

“It’s so awesome,” Venters said. “It’s never meant so much more to me than to have a team (title). This year that was my goal from the start.

Just to get my team all wrapped around each other to go out with a win.”

After finishing second the last two seasons at the state meet, Free State clinched first by a sizable margin. Five different runners finished in the

top-28, earning 59 total points. Shawnee Mission North was the next closest with 87 points.

The top three finishers for the Firebirds were all seniors. Kiran Cordes ran a 19:29.5 to seal seventh place. Abigail Zenger, who started cross country

last year, took 12th with a time of 19:49.0.

“The one person that surprised me the most all season was Abby Zenger,” Hefferan said. “Because a year ago she was a JV runner and just snuck on our state team. This year, she ends up placing 12th overall. That’s a big reason why we won today.”

A pair of sophomores rounded out the Firebirds’ top five. Julia Larkin ran a 20:04.4 to finish 16th while Emma Hertig placed 28th with a mark of 20:30.4.

On the boys side, Free State finished seventh as a team with three runners crossing the finish line close to one another.

Junior Avant Edwards posted the highest finish at 26th while junior Jared Hicks and sophomore Landon Sloan placed 30th and 31st, respectively.

The trio of runners propelled the Firebirds up the leaderboards, as they defeated three teams — Shawnee Mission Northwest, Shawnee Mission East and Olathe South — that they had lost to in every other meet this year “I think this last meet really showed who we were,” Edwards said. “We pushed each other more.

They stayed on me a little

bit more and we did the best we could.”

State debuts for LHS Sophomore Anna Dewitt and junior Carson Jumping Eagle each made their first appearances in the state meet as the lone qualifiers for Lawrence High.

Dewitt stayed with the pack for the first mile but ultimately fell to a 57thplace finish with a time of 21:17.6. She acknowledged that her mental toughness was put to the test against the veteran competitors as the lone Lions runner.

“I’m just glad I got the chance to go to state,” Dewitt said. “It was weird because it was just me.

My basketball teammates and my cross country teammates came and made posters for me. It helped calm me down.”

Jumping Eagle also noted the different feel of being the only runner from his school in the boys 6A race. Jumping Eagle logged a 61st-place finish with a time of 17:52.5.

“I’m proud I made it,” Jumping Eagle said. “It was different because I didn’t have my teammates to run with. I just tried to run my own race.

It was challenging.”

BRIEFLY Joining Jayhawks like returning home KU’s Lokedi for Kansas freshman Mitch Lightfoot runs to title

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Kansas freshman Mitch Lightfoot moved from Kansas City, Mo., to Gilbert, Ariz., at the age of 5, but his roots stuck with him while growing up in the Southwest.

One thing was his love for KU basketball. At the Kansas basketball team’s media day earlier this month, the 6-foot-8 forward listed Cole Aldrich, Nick Collison and Thomas Robinson as post players he enjoyed watching during his youth, as well as guard Mario Chalmers.

Although Lightfoot was unable to see Chalmers’ game-tying three-pointer to force overtime in the 2008 national championship game in real time, he remembers the night of KU’s 75-68 win over Memphis very well.

“Funny story about the shot is that my parents made me go to bed at halftime because I had to go to school the next day.

We were down and they were thinking we were not in the best situation and then we come back and win it, of course,” Lightfoot said. “I was an upset little 8-year old at that point in time. That was funny.”

As Lightfoot’s own hoops career started to take off, he orally committed to play at New Mexico during his sophomore season at Gilbert Christian, but quickly realized he was just scratching

KANSAS FRESHMAN MITCH LIGHTFOOT has been a longtime KU basketball fan. the surface of his potential and re-opened his recruiting after his junior campaign.

“I felt like I kind of committed a little bit too early. I didn’t take my time and really see all of the options and look at all of the doors and look at everything I could,” he said. “I opened it up and played my butt off, and now I’m at Kansas. I kind of benefited from that a little bit.”

Even with the University of Arizona nearby, Lightfoot’s decision to commit to KU last October was an easy one.

“It was so hard to say no because they

(Arizona) were so close to home,” Lightfoot said of rejecting the Wildcats. “But, for me, this is home. This is my home away from home. I have all of my family out here.

The people out here are so easy to get along with.

I love everything about Kansas, and that’s why I’m here.”

Lightfoot is a part of a freshman class that includes Josh Jackson and Udoka Azubuike, both of whom were McDonald’s All-Americans.

While Lightfoot — who was the Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year last season — also comes to KU as a highly-touted prep

player, he’s found that college hoops is a different beast.

“It’s been the biggest competition of my life.

Every practice, you go to war,” Lightfoot said. “Everyone is fighting for playing time and everyone is fighting to make each other better and make the team better. In the end, it’s we, not I. Anything I can do to help my teammates get better — whether that be Carlton (Bragg), Landen (Lucas), Udoka, anyone — (I) just try to help them get better and push them to their limits and beyond.”

With Bragg and Lucas projected to be in the starting lineup when KU opens its season with an exhibition matchup with Washburn on Tuesday, Lightfoot has been trying to take in as much knowledge as possible from the two returners.

Along with learning a few post moves from Lucas and Bragg, Lightfoot has embraced the opportunity to challenge himself academically. Lightfoot originally planned to study engineering, but, because of scheduling conflicts, he switched his major to finance.

“I went from one thing that was really tough to another thing that was really tough,” Lightfoot said. “All of the engineering classes, the times of the classes really didn’t match up for when we had practice and stuff. I’m in finance now and taking a bunch of those courses.”

Seabury sophomore Ella Blake represented the Seahawks girls team at the meet, and finished 62nd overall with a time of 25:20.32.

Lessons from past helping Chiefs, Colts Indianapolis (ap) — Andrew Luck prefers looking ahead.

He knows the Indianapolis Colts face a serious challenge today against Kansas City, a team in the middle of the AFC West title hunt.

He understands the Chiefs possess a ball-hawking defense and win games by forcing turnovers and limiting mistakes.

That’s enough to keep Luck on message this week — even if everyone else wants to discuss the 28-point comeback he

led the previous time he faced the Chiefs.

“I believe it was in the playoffs a couple years ago and it was a good win,” Luck said, drawing laughter as he discussed his memories of the second-largest rally in playoff history.

While the low-key response was pure Luck, his comeback and the Colts’ first playoff win in the post-Peyton Manning era were not.

Indy punter Pat McAfee calls it the moment Colts players understood they

would never be out of a game when Luck was in uniform. Coach Chuck Pagano called it the best of the 17 comeback wins on Luck’s resume, including three this season.

Even in Kansas City (42), the game has impact.

“You can still turn on that tape in the third quarter and the fourth quarter and there’s a point where you look at the scoreboard and we somehow lost that game and just try to use it as a teaching example and keeping your edge all the

way through the end,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “Obviously, to jump out like that and to not finish it off, it was tough looking back at.”

But as stinging as that defeat was in January 2014, the Chiefs have rebounded nicely.

After missing the playoffs by one game in 2014, they returned last season despite a 1-5 start and are now playing as well as just about any team in the league outside of New England.

The Chiefs are even

in the loss column with defending Super Bowl champion Denver and Oakland in the division race, and are looking to make another statement today in Indianapolis.

“We control our own destiny now, that’s the big part — we definitely want to beat them, but we’re trying to win our division, so that’s our goal right now,” defensive tackle Jaye Howard said. “I’m quite sure they’re going to show us some clips of us to motivate us, but we don’t need the motivation.”

And after a slow September, it’s the Colts (34) who are trying to learn from some of the lessons Kansas City provided last season.

“Some things happen, the ball starts to bounce your way, you might get some guys back healthy, a number of things and things start clicking and you win a couple games in a row and get on a roll,” Pagano said. “There is nothing like momentum, so it (the Chiefs turnaround) is a great example for our guys.”

Clerk’s office still wedded to paper ballots

By Elvyn Jones lll

ejones@ljworld.com The Douglas County Clerk’s Office will be looking to purchase a new voting system next year, but county voters shouldn’t expect the introduction of computerized touchscreen voting technology like what exists in Johnson County.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said the clerk’s office was looking to replace the system introduced in 2006. That system was state of the art when acquired a decade ago and still functions well, but the new precinct tabulators will be much more portable than the current 85-pound machines, which are awkward to move when there is a need

‘‘

There are now tabulators that print out a receipt. Voters can walk out of the polling place with a piece of paper saying they voted.”

— Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew

to accommodate voters with disabilities, he said.

One thing won’t change with a new system, Shew said.

County voters will continue to fill out paper ballots, which they will then put into a tabulator, he said. Newer tabulators are available with view screens, which inform voters that their ballots have been accepted, he said.

“There are now tabulators that print out a receipt,” he said. “Voters can walk out of the polling place with a piece

of paper saying they voted.

I’m pretty excited about the features now available on precinct tabulators.”

The clerk’s office has been saving for a new system for about five years, and the about $1 million on hand should cover the cost of the purchase, Shew said.

Although Shew is wedded to the security of paper voting systems, the clerk’s office doesn’t shy away from computer technology. Every county polling site on election

day will have an electronic polling book with the names of registered voters in the precincts voting at that location, Shew said. The tablets replace the paper polling books voters previously signed before receiving ballots.

Shew said a few electronic polling books were introduced at high-volume sites in 2012.

The electronic books speed up the process through the use of a driver’s license or state identification card to bring up a voter’s name, which eliminates the need to thumb through books.

“Electronic polling books were real line savers in 2012,” he said.

Shew assures residents that the only information in the electronic books is that from their voter registration forms; however, paper poll books are

kept as a backup at poll sites for those uncomfortable with signing electronically.

Another area in which Shew wants to make progress is in sharing information. The clerk’s office has a robust website on which residents can search for their registration status and a sample of the ballot they will receive when voting, he said. A goal is to format that information for viewing on smart phones, he said.

Another hoped-for improvement is associated with the increasing popularity of mailin advance voting. Shew said he would like to install software that would allow voters to track when advance ballots were mailed to them, where they are in the postal system once mailed and when they arrived at the clerk’s office.

The Democrat, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister and nurse before taking a seat in 2009 on the County Commission, said she wanted to provide the civility too often missing in the public sphere.

“These days especially, basic human decency in politics is wanting,” she wrote in response to a Lawrence Journal-World question on her priorities for another term. “My highest aim is to fight that sad trend and regain the trust of weary citizenry — at least on the local level.”

Her prescription for realizing that goal is to listen and learn and then take action as she and her fellow county commissioners have done in their search for solutions to overcrowding at the Douglas

“Elected officials should not approach their governance with ‘spending priorities,’” he wrote in response to a JournalWorld question. “It isn’t their money to spend — it belongs to taxpayers.”

Brinson moved to Lawrence from Houston in 1999 to play football at the University of Kansas. He received his bachelor’s degree in African American studies and English in 2004. Since then he has been involved with the community’s youth through coaching in the Lawrence school district and as a volunteer mentor in the district’s middle and high schools, while working as a youth minister for Call to Greatness Ministries.

Derusseau CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3D

Derusseau has been a resident of Lawrence since 1982, her freshman year at the University of Kansas, where she studied politics and history before getting a certificate in human resources from the University of Missouri at St. Louis.

Her first full-time job in Lawrence was with the KU Endowment Association, and she returned to the foundation three years ago after a long stint as a business director with a Lawrence beer distributor.

Derusseau was the first candidate to announce for the 3rd District seat, doing so in the same week incumbent and fellow Republican Jim Flory said he would not seek a third term on the County Commission.

Since that time, Derusseau has attended regular County Commission

Chahine came to America at the age of 16 with his family after his father retired from his career as a petroleum engineer in the United Arab Emirates.

Lawrence wasn’t the family’s intended destination at first, but that changed when they visited Chahine’s older brother, who just entered law school at the University of Kansas.

“Personally, I have spent literally hundreds of hours talking to citizens on a one-to-one basis, reviewing the data, talking with other local officials, visiting facilities in other cities and states, and gathering all the input I can,” she said.

“I want to make sure we get this right for now and years to come. And I say this not just because of the fiscal implication of inaction — which is substantial — but because of the human implications for our citizens both inside the jail and out.”

From the County Commission’s review, Thellman said she was convinced of the need to expand the jail and the need for a mental health crisis intervention center.

She said she will work to fund and build both

“As I have spent time in the community, I have consistently heard that people don’t feel their voices are being heard by politicians,” he wrote.

“Through serving, I have been prepared to not only listen, but also to help bring skills in dialoging with others, creative problem solving and collaboration to work to find solutions for our community that put people first.”

Additionally, she has met with 22 community partner agencies that receive county funding.

That preparation built on her 27 years of community service through volunteer work with Lawrence Police Foundation, Douglas County Valor, United Way, Junior Achievement, the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Douglas County American Red Cross, LEAP, Go Red for Women and other service organizations, Derusseau said.

if re-elected. There are structural problems at the jail associated with the increase of female inmates and those with mental health issues, she said. There are also capacity issues that have the county paying $1 million a year to house inmates in the jails of other counties, Thellman said.

In addition to the proposed jail expansion, the county is attempting to reduce overcrowding by adding to the programs that have given it the second-lowest incarceration rate in the state, Thellman said.

“Since 2014, we’ve added three new diversion programs: Behavioral Court, pre-trial

supervision and the access, identify and divert program in the jail,” she wrote.

Despite the current County Commission’s support for linking the jail expansion and crisis center, Thellman said the decision of how they would be presented on a future funding referendum or referendums would be the job of the County Commission seated in January.

“The new commission will prioritize these needs, finalize the proposals, provide education to the public and ultimately choose how to present them on the ballot,” she wrote.

Her introduction to politics was through a leadership role in the successful

expansion and its link to a mental health crisis intervention center.

Brinson doesn’t support jail expansion but gives qualified support for the crisis intervention center. He advocates investing in programming to solve the problem of jail overcrowding.

“I believe our community would benefit if we began researching programs that could decrease our jail population,” he wrote. “Programs are always preferable to prisons . . . If we can implement programs to help alleviate overcrowding and defer imprisonment for nonviolent offenders, our resources could be

spent to educate at-risk groups in our community.

We need to take the time to have necessary conversations and collaborate to find viable, long-term solutions for jail overcrowding in our county.”

He similarly prefers first exploring programbased mental health solutions before making an investment in a brickand-mortar facility.

“I think there should still be some discussions to determine the extent to which current mental health providers in the community will work together to provide the best courses of treatment,” he wrote. “I believe that before we build new structures, the quality

‘‘

With so many variables and options, there is not an actual question or proposal before us. What I can say is I fully support studying the mental health crisis center as well as addressing the issues at the jail.”

— Michelle Derusseau

In Derusseau’s view, the ongoing work of the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council has put the issues involving the mental health crisis intervention center and expansion of the Douglas County Jail back on the table.

“The County Commission formed and is funding a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, and the council is making great strides toward addressing issues,” she wrote in a response to a Journal-World question. “As far as I am concerned with the formation of the CJCC, the ballot question as previously discussed no longer exists. The county through its commitment has sent

a message it is willing to look deeper into the issue.”

The coordinating council’s work also made premature any endorsements of the jail expansion or the mental health crisis center, Derusseau wrote.

“As a candidate, it would be irresponsible to commit to anything,” she said. “With so many variables and options, there is not an actual question or proposal before us. What I can say is I fully support studying the mental health crisis center as well as addressing the issues at the jail.”

A concern in the 3rd District is the Kansas Department of Transportation’s plan for a future Kansas Highway 10 and

‘‘

My goal since day one has been growth with balance, and that is a promise that I am well suited to fulfill.”

strategic planning as his business has grown, Chahine said.

“I wouldn’t be where I am now if I was afraid to take risks,” he said. “I know what I can afford now and what has to be put off. It’s not only my success, but the people who work for me, too. I have 30 employees who count on me.”

His local business experience also gives him an understanding of the issues facing the county.

Topping his list of concerns is the need to attract “primary employers,” which can keep

talented KU graduates or young Lawrence residents from leaving town for more lucrative opportunities, Chahine said.

“My plan for growth is to work with the various city commissions that represent Douglas County in order to put our best foot forward when it comes to attracting primary employers,” he wrote in response to a Journal-World questionnaire. “Primary employers in my definition are those who pay the majority of their employees a living wage, employ a sizable number of individuals

She remains committed to preserving the rural character of Douglas County, she said. Among her successes in that area was the introduction in 2009 of the county’s Natural and Cultural Heritage Conservation program she championed, which provides annual grant funding to preserve the county’s historical and natural sites.

She also worked to create the state’s first food policy council.

“To date, our local Food Policy Council is responsible for leveraging $1.2 million in outside dollars toward local efforts building a sustainable, equitable local food system,” she wrote.

Thellman is now co-chair of the Horizon 2020 Steering Committee, which is working to update the city of Lawrence’s comprehensive plan and that of its growth

area. In that role, she said she has advocated for infill development over sprawl, walkable neighborhoods, bike and pedestrian friendly multi-modal transportation and strong environmental policies combined with language that acknowledges the planning challenges of climate change adaptation.

Thellman added that the comprehensive plan update must address the need for affordable housing.

“I also remain committed to working on the serious problem of lack of affordable housing in Douglas County,” she wrote. “My main interest for the county is to advocate and find funding for the creation of more transitional supportive housing for the folks who have the most difficulty finding affordable housing: The homeless, those with chronic mental illness and/or addiction, and those who have little or no personal and financial resources.”

of the services those buildings will provide should be proven. Money should be spent on people, not projects.”

Brinson acknowledges there is community support for the crisis intervention center. That’s not true of the jail expansion, he said. For that reason, the County Commission should consider them separately, he said.

“Most people I visit with have a positive view of creating an intervention center, but are so opposed to expanding the county jail, they plan to vote against the proposal,” he wrote. “It seems as though the County Commission was simply trying to get voters who care deeply about mental health services to go along with a jail expansion because they knew the jail expansion would not pass on its own.”

Brinson said the best approach to economic

development was to encourage the expansion of existing businesses and then let that success attract other companies.

When the County Commission considers the update of the city of Lawrence’s Horizon 2020 comprehensive plan, it should ensure it promotes the kind of growth the county seeks, Brinson said.

On the issue of the Kansas Department of Transportation maintaining access to Farmer’s Turnpike, Brinson said KDOT had expertise in costs and safety when designing roads and their configuration.

“KDOT engineers and consultants have done an excellent job of studying the issues and presenting their findings to the county,” he wrote. “We should implement those findings, while listening to the concerns of Lecompton’s citizens and limiting their costs as a community.”

Interstate 70 interchange with the planned, but still unfunded, expansion of K-10 to four lanes west of U.S. Highway 59. In October 2015, KDOT shared at a public meeting a plan for a new interchange, which closed K-10 access to the Farmer’s Turnpike, as North 1800 Road is commonly known. It has since put all discussion of the interchange on hold as it conducts an environmental impact study of the proposed west-leg improvements. When discussion renews, the county needs to advocate for the continued access to the Farmer’s Turnpike, she said.

“If the Lecompton interchange is moved two miles west, we need to ensure the current access to the Farmer’s Turnpike remains open until the new interchange is complete,” she wrote. “Closing this access would create financial hardship on the city of Lecompton, as it would cut them off. It would also create safety issues as KDOT’s

suggested alternate routes are East 1000 and East 800 roads and East 600 Road/ US Highway 40.”

On a related issue, the county needs to work with the city of Lawrence to ensure that it commits to sharing the cost of extending Wakarusa Drive south of K-10, a project that is on the county’s five-year capital improvement project list, Derusseau said.

Her priorities include safeguarding county employees and residents once concealed carry is allowed in county buildings on July 1, 2017, Derusseau said. The two buildings that should be given priority for electronic detection devices and armed guards are the Community Health Building, which is home to Bert Nash, and the Douglas County Courthouse, she said.

Another priority would be exploring an expansion of the County Commission to five members to give rural areas better representation, Derusseau said.

and have openings for a diverse and wide variety of people.”

The quest to land such large employers would not mean giving out blank checks, Bassem said.

“The last thing we want is to bring in business that could lower property values, damage environmental resources, or otherwise adversely impact our wonderful community,” he wrote, “My goal since day one has been growth with balance, and that is a promise that I am well suited to fulfill.”

Chahine said he supports a jail expansion and mental health crisis intervention center. He was persuaded of the need to expand the jail after seeing inmates, particularly female inmates, “crammed into cells” during a visit to the facility,

he said.

He supports the crisis intervention center and the establishment of a mental health court, which the Douglas County Commission funded for 2017.

Although he agrees with the need for the crisis intervention center and jail expansion, Chahine said county voters shouldn’t be asked to approve funding for the two needs on the same ballot initiative.

Those who support the crisis center and not the jail should be allowed to support the initiatives they back, he said.

“In my view, issues of such magnitude must be addressed separately,” he said. “It is the only fair resolution to address those citizens who may prefer one solution, but not the other.”

She has also been active in several community organizations such as the Southern Leavenworth County Leadership Development program, the Ephraim Basehor Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Friends of the Tonganoxie Library.

“The Brownback experiment has failed,” Reed said in response to a Journal-World candidate questionnaire. “We have not seen the promised benefits to our state economy and instead of growing, Kansas has

month after month of shortfalls.”

Reed said she supports reversing some of the tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 and reducing the sales tax, particularly the sales tax on groceries.

She also said she believes the state could find efficiencies by shortening the length of legislative sessions, and expanding Medicaid as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. “Crafting a new school funding formula that addresses both adequacy and equity, and

then fully funding our public schools, are the two most important things the legislature can do to help prepare Kansas students for life after graduation,” Reed said.

Regarding LGBT rights and proposals for “religious freedom” laws, Reed said in part: “Businesses are not individuals and do not have the rights of individuals, but owners and employees should have the right to provide services to the populations they choose.

If they choose to discriminate

on the basis of gender, sexual identity, or orientation, then I will exercise my right not to solicit their business.”

She also said she opposes current voting laws that were championed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach in 2011.

“Proof of citizenship requirements for registration and photo ID requirements at the polls only create a situation where those that need government the most are excluded, and we must change that,” she said.

abortion and gun rights.

As a school administrator, Karleskint worked in both public and parochial schools in Kansas. He is also a U.S. Army veteran who was awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam.

“I do not support Governor Brownback’s tax experiment and believe it should be the first priority of the Legislature to fix in January,” Karleskint said in response to a JournalWorld questionnaire.

Even if those tax policies

were reversed, most experts say it would not help the state’s current shortfalls. Karleskint said in the short term, the Legislature should consider adopting some of the recommendations from the Alvarez & Marsal efficiency study from last year. “The greatest benefit to our fiscal stability, however, depends on repealing the governor’s tax cuts of 2012-2013,” he said.

Karleskint said he could bring an experienced perspective to the Legislature as it tries

to craft a new school finance formula next year. “As a former School Superintendent and Adjunct Professor who taught school finance, I bring a working knowledge to the legislature about school finance and formula development,” he wrote.

“I’m opposed to allowing anyone who is in this country illegally the right to vote,” Karleskint said in response to a question about the state’s current voting laws. “However, I do feel if you are an American

citizen you have a right and a responsibility to vote. We need to make sure the system accommodates those that can vote, not develop roadblocks to registering.”

Karleskint did not directly respond to a question about LGBT rights or proposals to enact “religious freedom” bills protecting people and businesses who have religious objections to homosexuality or same-sex marriage. “I do not support discrimination in any form,” he said.

spend more than $1,000 in the campaign.

Still, the retired AT&T employee is offering himself on the ballot as an alternative.

“I am strongly opposed to the tax policies of Governor Brownback which has resulted in monthly shortages of tax revenues and the lowering of the credit rating of the state,”

Lindsey said.

He said he does not believe state agencies can absorb any more budget cuts, and he said he favors legalizing marijuana as a way the state could generate more revenue in a short period of time to help fund education.

“There cannot be discrimination allowed of people based

on religious beliefs,” Lindsey said. “If you have a bakery open to the public, you cannot deny a wedding cake to anyone. If you run a pharmacy, you cannot deny birth control to anyone. Your religious beliefs are personal and protected but cannot be allowed to be thrust upon others in a public setting or business.”

“Finally, showing proof of citizenship in order to register to vote may be redundant if one already has a photo ID as that was usually required to obtain a photo ID,” he said. “However, I am in favor of needing to show a photo ID in order to vote as this is a frequent requirement in other situations as well as voting.”

of Politics on the University of Kansas campus. She has also held several administrative posts at KU. She also served on the Lawrence school board before she ran for the House.

Ballard has been an outspoken critic of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies. “I have voted and would do so again to repeal the largest income tax cut in history, because we cannot afford it currently,” she said. “The Legislature needs to have a serious debate about tax reform but the lack

of revenue must be addressed first. The state is struggling and having difficulty meeting obligations.”

For the short term, however, Ballard said few options are available to cut state spending to balance the budget. “We can’t borrow any more funds from Transportation and we must leave KPERS alone — we have been there,” she said. “The Legislature can revisit the Efficiency Study we paid to have done, and hopefully find

more efficiencies.”

On education policy, Ballard said the Legislature solved the problem of funding equity among districts during the special session this summer.

“Now, we must address the equality issue so that all 288 Kansas school districts are able to provide the teachers, programs and services that all students need to be challenged and successful in school,” she said.

She also said she opposes “religious freedom” bills that

would shield businesses from discrimination lawsuits if their actions are based on religious beliefs. And she opposes the state’s current photo ID and proof-of-citizenship voting laws.

“Voting is a right of citizens of the United States and the state should not make the right to vote a difficult process,” she said. “We know that fraud is almost nonexistent, so why is the state making it difficult for folks to vote in Kansas?”

A fair and impartial judiciary matters to us.

On education policy, Manies said the state should return to a perpupil based funding formula. “I believe this is something that is absolutely necessary to ensure every child in Kansas has fair access to the educational resources they need to succeed in school, at college or university and beyond, regardless of where they live,” she said.

Manies said she supports full and equal constitutional rights for all citizens regardless of sexual orientation or identity.

“Businesses are a part

“While the rights of individual business owners are present, they shouldn’t override the equally important rights of others.”

“When registering to vote, the requirements for proof of citizenship prior to (Secretary of State Kris) Kobach’s election were effective,” she said. “Those who falsely identified as US citizens could be prosecuted with felony charges by law enforcement.

Outside of politics, Sloan works as a business consultant and manages a small farm outside of Lawrence.

Sloan voted against the tax cuts that Gov. Sam Brownback championed in 2012 and 2013, and in 2015 he voted to restore taxes on income derived from pass-through businesses. “I believe in tax fairness in which all Kansans pay an equitable income tax rate to support essential state programs like education, support for persons with disabilities, and programs that support job creation,” he said. “I believe that the most fair and appropriate tax system is a balance between income, sales, and property taxes, and user fees in which no group of citizens is unduly burdened.”

Asked about how to balance the state’s

current budget, Sloan said: “Revenues must be increased, there is no other responsible course of action to adequately fund essential state programs on which people depend.”

As lawmakers prepare to write a new school funding formula next year, Sloan said funding should be based on the actual cost of educating students, including those with special needs.

“Aid should also reflect that in addition to teachers, other school resource staff members like librarians, (teachers’ aides), school nurses all contribute to the successful learning environment.”

Sloan said he has voted against bills to permit discrimination by individuals, agencies and groups. He also said he opposes the law requiring Kansas voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

On tax policy, Richey said she opposes the current exemption on income from passthrough business entities but says some of the tax cuts enacted under Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration have been good, including reductions in tax rates for people on low incomes.

She also said she supports implementing some of the recommendations made in a recent efficiency study. “I believe there are enough that can be agreed upon by both parties to be enacted,” she said. “Simply raising taxes, specifically on incomes like my

On education, Richey said she thinks the state needs to do more to attract and retain quality teachers. “In addition, the legislature must provide the necessary funding, and ensure that the majority of funding reaches our teachers and the classroom, following with accountability.”

Justices, judges up for retention

BOARD OF EDUCATION

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Profiles by Elvyn Jones lll

ejones@ljworld.com Two candidates from Topeka are vying for the 4th District Kansas Board of Education seat that became open with Carolyn L. Wims-Campbell’s decision not to seek another four-year term. The candidates are Democrat Ann Mah and Republican Sue Mollenkamp.

The 4th District comprises all or part of Douglas, Franklin, Jefferson, Osage, Shawnee and Wabaunsee counties. The Douglas County portion includes much of Lawrence, Lecompton and parts of western rural Douglas County.

DEMOCRAT

ANN MAH Democratic State Board of Education candidate Ann Mah is not a newcomer to politics. She represented the 54th District in the Kansas House before losing in a close race to Republican Ken Corbet in 2012 after redistricting removed Topeka Democratic precincts from the district.

As a legislator, Mah served on the Kansas House education and higher education committees. She said she championed the bill that created the Technical Education Authority so more students could get technical certificates in high school and have a smoother transition from high school to work or college.

A teacher for fiveand-a-half years in Chase County and Emporia school districts, Mah has a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s in curriculum. She has been active with the Kansas Board of Education on a QPA advisory board and its Teacher of the Year Advisory Committee. She has served for 15 years on AdvancEd, which accredited the state’s K-12 schools and was also involved with the accreditation of technical schools.

The biggest issue in current state K-12 education is the question of adequate state funding. Mah said one of her priorities would be ensuring the state board had a role in the funding discussion.

“The state board needs to play a leading role in clearly defining what is in the Rose Capacities, which have been adopted by the Legislature as what is expected in K-12 education,” she wrote in response to a Journal-World question.

“Once we have laid out clearly what we want our children to learn and know in K12 schools, we can better calculate the true cost to educate them.

‘‘

There are many professionals who are not licensed who would make excellent teachers, but we must be sure they are trained in the pedagogy required to know how to teach.”

— Ann Mah

Then the board needs to go to the Legislature and fight for adequate and equitable funding.

The Legislature also needs to recognize and better incorporate the expertise of the state board members and the Kansas Department of Education professionals rather than excluding them from the process. I would fight for that as well.”

Another priority would be establishing measures to improve teacher quality, Mah said. She advocates continued strong licensure and training requirements, mentoring and advanced development programs and matching young teachers with master teachers and coaches as ways to realize that goal. She also calls for greater incentives for teachers to earn advanced degrees and national certifications.

Mah is cautious of extending teaching licenses to professions without university degrees in education.

“There are many professionals who are not licensed who would make excellent teachers, but we must be sure they are trained in the pedagogy required to know how to teach,” she wrote. “Teachers in today’s public schools are asked to use a wide range of teaching styles and methods. Teachers have to accommodate teaching styles to the learning styles of their students. That is not intuitive. It must be learned.”

REPUBLICAN

SUE MOLLENKAMP Sue Mollenkamp says serving as a teacher for home-schooled children for 25 years has prepared her to serve on the Kansas State Board of Education.

“Years of setting annual goals for each student and then purchasing or writing curriculum for use in reaching those goals have provided me with administrative perspective,” she wrote in an answer to a Journal-World question.

“Repeatedly planning lessons, implementing them and providing accountability to assure that learning has taken place has given me an understanding of the challenges facing our teachers. Because I bore the responsibility for facilitating learning in all subjects, it was necessary for me to be continuously learning in all areas of study in order to provide the needed instruction.”

For the last four years, Mollenkamp has been an assistant to the Kansas House Education Committee. That work has acquainted her with K-12 education issues and allowed her to build working relationships with legislators, which would be beneficial on the state board, she said.

That would be particularly of benefit in the area of school funding.

That is a task the state’s constitution assigns to the Legislature, Mollenkamp wrote.

“Board members can, however, influence the determination of these decisions by offering their views to legislators in a spirit of collaboration as the Legislature works to develop a new funding mechanism during the coming legislative session,” she wrote. “Board members can also play an important role in seeing that implementation of the funding mechanism is working smoothly, and they can provide supportive help to local districts as the districts

‘‘

The biggest challenge may be the development of a flexible structure, which can allow individual students in unique districts to reach their full potential.”

— Sue Mollenkamp

seek to handle the funds well.”

Mollenkamp said she would also encourage two-way communication with teachers and administrators in the 4th District to learn the difficulties teachers face and to improve teacher quality.

“Without this communication with the local level, attempts to encourage excellence from the state level could miss the mark and be ineffective,” she wrote.

As the state works to improve student achievement, it needs to not get too bogged down in structure, and it must allow the flexibility needed to reach some students who don’t thrive in the general educational environment, Mollenkamp wrote.

“The biggest challenge may be the development of a flexible structure, which can allow individual students in unique districts to reach their full potential,” she wrote. “It is easy to become focused on the structure itself and to expect those it serves to conform to a mold that will allow the system to work as efficiently as possible.

When this happens, some students may continue to thrive, but others will not. Those who do not are those who ‘fall through the cracks.’ The cracks of our structure need to be examined, and we need to identify ways to close them so these students can begin thriving and find new reason to hope.”

Proposed hunting, fishing rights amendment on ballot

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Kansas voters are being asked in November to approve a proposed constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to hunt, fish and trap wildlife.

The proposed amendment would add a new section to the Kansas Bill of Rights to read as follows: “The people have the right

to hunt, fish and trap, including by the use of traditional methods, subject to reasonable laws and regulations that promote wildlife conservation and management and that preserve the future of hunting and fishing. Public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife.

This section shall not be construed to modify any provision of law relating to trespass, property rights or water

resources.”

Supporters of the amendment say it’s a response to efforts by animal rights groups in other states to pass restrictive laws on hunting, fishing and trapping, and they want to prevent any such laws from being enacted in Kansas.

Opponents, however, say passage of the amendment could make it more difficult for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and

Tourism to enact regulations to protect threatened or endangered species and habitat.

The amendment passed both chambers of the Legislature by more than the required two-thirds majority. It now needs a simple majority of votes in the general election to be ratified.

In addition to races for state, federal and county offices, Kansas voters are being asked in November whether they want to retain 5 of the 7 justices on the Kansas Supreme Court, and 6 of the 14 judges on the Kansas Court of Appeals.

Supreme Court justices are appointed by the governor from a list Nuss of nominees submitted by a nonpartisan nominating commission.

They then stand for retention in the Beier first general election after their appointment, and every six years thereafter.

C o u r t of Appeals Biles judges are appointed directly by the governor, subject to confirmation in the Kansas Senate.

They stand Luckert for retention on four-year cycles.

The Supreme Court justices up for retention this year are Stegall Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Associate Justices Carol Beier, Dan Biles, Marla Luckert and Caleb Stegall.

The Court of Appeals judges up for retention are Steve Leben, Joseph Pierron, David Bruns, G. Gordon Atcheson, Karen Arnold-Burger and Kathryn Gardner.

“I propose we move to a model where children in families earning less than $150,000 per year are allowed free tuition to in-state public schools,” she said. “The expense could be covered by placing a nominal tax on Wall Street transactions.

On national security, he said “Islamic extremism” remains the nation’s biggest threat.

“Our military is already playing an impor-

tant role in combating ISIS, but the American people must understand and be willing to support additional efforts that may put our military members at risk,” he said. “The countries where ISIS is flourishing are chaotic, unstable and have major political problems.

Wiesner said he opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants, but also opposes building a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

“My solution is to establish special immigration facilities in northern Mexico to process those who want to apply for legal status,” he said.

“Those here illegally can return to that country and then re-enter in accordance with U.S. law.

A CLEARER LOOK AT

PHOG

New book aims to separate myth, fact about famed coach

By Nick Krug

M

l

ost Kansas basketball fans can recall from memory the classic photo of the game’s creator James Naismith standing proudly on the left with the coach Phog Allen to the right.

The two figures of basketball royalty are both wearing fedoras and the only thing stopping them from holding hands is a basketball that they hold together.

The image portrays the two as allies and collaborators in lock step, cradling the game in its fledgling years. But a new book on Phog Allen suggests reality wasn’t nearly as picturesque.

According to the new book

by Scott Morrow Johnson, “Phog: The Most Influential Man in Basketball,” the relationship between the two men was at times contentious, especially when it came to their respective visions for the game and its potential.

“There was about 15 or 20 years where the two of them were butting heads over the game,” Johnson says. “Naismith just wanted it to be this schoolyard game that kids played like bombardment, or something you just did to pass the time. Allen saw something greater and that sort of irked Naismith.”

Now, if you’re beginning to fear that with every page turn, the happy bedrock of the nation’s most storied college basketball program will begin to crumble beneath your feet, don’t worry. Lawrence resident Judy Allen Morris, granddaughter to Phog Allen, had long wanted to collaborate on such a book. And Johnson’s

nkrug@ljworld.com own grandfather, William “Skinny” Johnson, played for Allen in the early 1930s.

What the book does is aim to give an honest portrayal of the famed KU coach, who could be described as ambitious, stubborn, good-hearted, a man of science, a competitor, a loving father and grandfather, and last but not least, a visionary.

“When [Judy and I] talked about it, one of the first things as a journalist that was important to me was to show the man, warts and all,” said Johnson, who lives in Seattle and previously worked as a sports writer for the Everett Herald for almost 20 years.

“She was on board with that but, but I was just explaining to her that to really show all sides of a person, [you needed] the good and the bad.”

Through anecdotes of his journey, from birth to death, Johnson gives attention to the various life experiences that shaped the man such as his first coaching job at Baker University — while still a sophomore at KU in 1907 — and the tragic death of his 14-year-old son, Forrest Clare Allen Jr. To accurately provide the scope of Allen’s lasting influence, Johnson also highlights other historically important figures who followed the many tributaries of basketball that led to and passed through Allen, forever shaping the game that we know today. Some of them with names like Smith and Rupp, just like their mentor, went on to have basketball cathedrals named for them, also.

OCTOB ABSENCE

H

appy haunting to all you Halloweeners out there, in honor of the 200th anniversary of the most famous year in the horror genre: 1816.

It was certainly a horrible year for many people, for that was when the volcano Mount Tambora erupted, spewing tons of ash into the atmosphere, which resulted in the famous “Year Without A Summer,” also known as “1800 And Froze to Death.” One day was so dark that candles had to be lit at noon. Many thought the end of the world was at hand. And at Lake Geneva, five people decided to hold a contest to see who could write the scariest story.

The most famous was the host, Lord Byron, who was having a fling with his young guest Claire Clairmont. Then there was his friend, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was having a fling with Claire’s teenage stepsister, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin.

And finally, there was Dr. Polidori, Byron’s personal physician (who was not having a fling with anyone, as far as we know).

So who won the contest? Second prize would certainly go to Dr. Polidori, who wrote a tale called “The Vampyre.”

Up until then, vampires were minor characters in horror. They were usually shown as rotting cadavers in ragged shrouds.

But Polidori’s story centers around a brooding, handsome, aristocratic vampire called Lord Ruthven, who was much like Lord Byron.

‘Frankenstein’ was paradigm shift for horror

‘Me Before You’ author back with more romance, escape

By Connie Ogle Miami Herald (TNS)

Jojo Moyes’ novels are funny and romantic, but their real subject matter, the undercurrent bobbing beneath the jokes and the meet-cutes, is slightly more consequential. In such books as “Me Before You,” its sequel “After You,” and “One Plus One,” Moyes is also examining how young women find the courage to square off against class, culture, sexism and family pressures to forge their own paths — and how they live more contentedly for it.

“Paris for One & Other Stories” — published now for

the first time in the United States — follows that familiar pattern, which means it’s dreamy escapism, a book you can curl up with and easily finish over a weekend, with or without a glass of wine (I recommend with). The breezy novella “Paris for One” is the main event, but the other stories, amusing anecdotes about relationships, marriage and the allure of escape, run along the similar lines.

Phog

Naismith invented the game, but Phog took that little seed and blossomed it into what it became.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1E

Another such story includes a chance encounter with a 17-yearold from Indiana by the name of John Wooden.

He was passing through Lawrence in search of work and met Allen, who put the young man to work as a laborer in the Memorial Stadium renovation of 1927.

Johnson makes the case that some of the modern institutions of basketball could look quite different without Allen. For example, the first ever NCAA tournament in Evanston, Ill. in 1939 was a financial disaster until Allen convinced organizers to move it to Kansas City

— Scott Morrow Johnson, author of ‘Phog: The Most Influential Man in Basketball”

the following year in 1940, with the promise of a profit.

“He was such a salesman,” recalls Judy Allen Morris, who also provided the foreword for the book.

“He was responsible for a lot of rules,” Johnson says. “There was a period there where they were trying to take the dribble out of basketball and Phog Allen was responsible for saving [it]. There were so many things that he had his hands in.”

Johnson also makes mention of a 1935 essay from Allen, titled

“Dunking Isn’t Basket Ball,” and quotes Allen as saying the act “does not display basketball skill — only height advantage.” He goes on to tell how later, Allen was even a proponent of raising the goal to 12 feet in an effort to prevent the dunk. Whether or not he experienced a change of heart over the dunk could possibly be evidenced by Allen’s pursuit of Wilt Chamberlain, the biggest fish landed by KU to date and the sport’s most prolific dunker of the era.

Of all the heavy

names that get dropped throughout the book, Johnson repeatedly brings the conversation full circle back to Allen.

“People talk about Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, John Wooden and all these people that have transcended the game over the years … but Phog gets lost in that,” Johnson says.

“Naismith invented the game, but Phog took that little seed and blossomed it into what it became,” he says. “He was hugely influential.”

Johnson will have a 3 p.m. book signing on Nov. 5 at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
