Overland Park — Republican Sen. Pat Roberts brought in more national GOP figures on Monday to help boost his embattled re-election campaign as the most recent polls show him in a dead heat against independent challenger Greg Orman Orman.

About 500 people gathered at a rally in southern Johnson County to hear two former GOP presidential nominees, former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, stump on Roberts’ behalf.

foe undefined; Davis schedules last-minute tour

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said Monday that Democrat Paul Davis’ views still aren’t defined enough for many Kansas voters to support him and suggested the challenger has kept a low profile on the campaign trail to avoid Brownback talking about tough issues.

But Davis announced he’ll have a 30-stop bus tour ahead of the Nov. 4 election, and his spokesman said Brownback’s comments show that the governor and his allies know voters dislike his fiscal policies.

DEATHS

Doctor

Kirt Edward duffy Kirt Edward Duffy, 69, of Pittsburg, KS, died at 1:58am, Friday, October 24, 2014, at his home after a long illness.

Kirt was born January 29, 1945, in Cedar Rapids, IA, the son of William Paul and Jeanne Frances (Durfee) Duffy.

Kirt has been a part of the Pittsburg community since the late 1960s. He was a Captain in the United States Air Force.

Kirt studied physics, psychology, and mathematics, and his true passions were music, photography, and the outdoors. He owned and operated a foreign car repair service along with his brother, Jeff, in Pittsburg, KS. Thereafter he owned a small photography business, but his true joy was teaching music to children of all ages, which he was able to do for many years before his illness removed this opportunity. He touched many lives and spoke often with pride of his many students.

Survivors include his companion, Carol Cook, of Pittsburg, KS; daughter, Megen Corin Duffy, of Lawrence, KS; parents Jeanne and William Duffy, of Pittsburg, KS; brother Jeff Duffy and wife Debbi of Sedona, AZ; sister Jan Hamblin and husband Carey of Mount

A new poll from NBC News and Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., showed the race a toss-up. It showed more respondents had an unfavorable impression of Brownback than a favorable one but, also, nearly 1 in 5 were unsure of their impression of Davis.

Brownback and his wife, Mary, voted in advance Monday at the Shawnee County Election Commissioner’s office. He talked Kansas State University football afterward with Dale Hrenchir, a 53-year-old warehouse worker and unaffiliated voter from Topeka.

Hrenchir said he’s gone back and forth between supporting Davis and Brownback and ultimately settled on Brownback before voting Monday. He said he trusts Brownback’s experience and told the governor, “You’re the man for the job.”

Brownback said he’s confident that Hrenchir’s decision will prove typical for enough Kansas voters for him to win a second, four-year term.

He said Davis has avoided discussing his views in detail, citing gay marriage as an example.

state constitution’s ban on same-sex marriage, while Davis voted against the ban as a Kansas House member but says the courts will decide the issue.

“It’s pretty odd. You would think you would be out traveling everywhere and talking to people about, ‘This is where I stand on issues.’” Brownback told reporters. “But he’s generally avoided that, and that leaves a void, then, for people to determine who Paul Davis is.”

Davis has focused much of his campaign on attacking Brownback’s policies, particularly personal income tax cuts enacted by legislators at the governor’s urging to boost the state’s economy.

The state dropped its top personal income tax rate 26 percent and exempted the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes altogether.

The Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff is predicting a budget shortfall of $260 million by July 2016, and the state has seen credit ratings downgraded.

“Governor Brownback and his allies know at this point that this is going to be an exceptionally close race,” said Davis spokesman Chris Pumpelly. “Kansans are very concerned about Sam Brownback and his experiment.”

that crying babies send shivers down the back of many a nonpediatric doctor, but not his. He sees those babies as a “friendly challenge” and enjoys watching them grow up.

“You get to see kids grow and develop, how they learn, how they make decisions. If they get ill or injured, you get a chance to help them,” he said.

“Taking care of kids is a hoot.”

In addition to his work as a doctor, Loveland held many leadership roles for numerous professional and community organizations.

He continued his involvement with several of them beyond his retirement, his wife said, including reviewing applicants with the Kansas University Medical School Selection Committee and serving on the board of the school’s alumni association.

But most of their speeches focused less on promoting Roberts as a senator than on criticizing President Barack Obama and stressing the GOP’s hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate in order to block Obama’s agenda.

“Today, I’m not certain how many countries respect the United States the way they did a few years ago,” Dole said.

Romney, the keynote speaker at the rally, blasted Obama over both foreign and domestic policy, saying, “You go through this presidency and compare what he said when he ran for office with what he has done, and there’s such an enormous gap, there’s such a gulf, that the American people are understandably angry.”

Roberts has been leaning heavily on national Republican figures in the final weeks of the campaign to help focus his message that the key

VanDeventer said Downtown Lawrence Inc. is spearheading the event and is working to organize all sorts of extra activities to keep people in downtown longer. Preliminarily, those plans include plenty of opportunities for visitors to see Santa Claus, hear holiday carolers and take a whirl on the city’s new outdoor ice skating rink next to the Lawrence Public Library. VanDeventer said plans also call for old-fashioned horse-drawn wagon rides in South Park from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. following the parade.

Mary Loveland said her husband was a model family man, too.

The couple were active in the Catholic church, serving as marriage prep counselors and in other roles, she said.

He made time for their own four children, too, she said. When they were young, among other things, he was an assistant scout master and, while his sometimes unpredictable schedule didn’t permit him to coach, served as a youth soccer referee and board member.

Mary Loveland said her husband had several heart attacks in the past.

He had been hospitalized about a week and a half before he died.

“All of us associated with Lawrence Memorial Hospital are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Dr. Loveland,” hospital president and CEO Gene Meyer said in a statement. “He was a well respected member of the LMH medical staff for 37 years, a beloved colleague and a genu-

ine friend. He was a true physician leader, having served as Chief of Staff from 1984 to 1985 and as Chief of Pediatrics eight different times.”

Years ago, when he made the decision to practice in Lawrence, Children’s Mercy Hospital — where he was a standout resident — had been recruiting her husband, too, Mary Loveland said. But he had a clear reason for choosing what he did.

“I got into pediatrics to watch children grow up,” he told his wife. “That doesn’t happen in a tertiary hospital; it happens in a community.”

issue in the race is winning back GOP control of the Senate. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson was scheduled to appear with Roberts later in the day in Wichita. And on Wednesday, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a favorite of the tea party movement, will hold several joint appearances with Roberts.

Those events come as new polls show Roberts and Orman in a statistical dead heat. The latest, from NBC News/ Marist poll released Sunday, showed Orman with a razor-thin, 45-44 percent lead, with Libertarian Randall Batson getting about 4 percent.

Roberts has also been coming under new criticism for his poor attendance record in committee meetings.

“Roberts lives in Washington, rarely visits Kansas, and yet news reports say he has barely attended committee meetings,” Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas said in a statement. “Neither

Mitt Romney nor Greg Orman would have had success as businessmen if they’d skipped work 85 (percent) of the time, like Senator Roberts has. ” In 12 years on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Roberts attended only 11 percent of the panel’s 262 hearings, according to a recent report on KMBC-TV in Kansas City.

Other media outlets have reported that Roberts attended only 35 percent of his Senate Agriculture Committee hearings, and 32 percent of the hearings on the Senate Finance Committee.

But the Roberts campaign brushed off those criticisms.

“Senator Roberts works hard for Kansas every day,” campaign manager Corry Bliss said.

“Senator Roberts has a 97 (percent) voting record and a proud record of standing up to the Obama-Reid agenda and delivering conservative results for Kansas.”

Christmas Parade will begin its march down Massachusetts Street.

I’ve heard some of you were concerned that the popular parade wasn’t going to be around this year, but that was never the case. As we reported in July, the parade was looking for a new major sponsor, but the lack of a sponsor never threatened this year’s parade.

It was creating worry for future years, however.

Well, since that time, an anonymous donor has stepped forward to provide a significant gift to the parade, which traditionally has about 70 teams of horses and carriages, and attracts several thousand visitors to downtown. The donor has made the gift through the Lawrence Arts Center, so look for this year’s parade to also help spread the word about the many programs and activities that are underway at the downtown arts center.

VanDeventer said the donor has made a threeyear commitment to the parade, which she said will really allow organizers to focus on hosting a

great parade rather than trying to raise funds to simply cover costs.

“We’re tickled to death with how everything has come together,” VanDeventer said.

So, go ahead and mark your calendars for Dec. 6, and plan to stay a little longer than normal.

Four of 18 indicted plead guilty in alleged meth conspiracy

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Four of the 18 defendants indicted by a grand jury last year on suspicion of a methamphetamine conspiracy that involved using a rural Douglas County home as a manufacturing hub have pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine.

Humberto Rascon-Frias,

Miguel Corona-Monjo, Stephen Eugene Rowlette and Joe Alejandro Ruiz each entered into plea agreements with the prosecution in which additional charges of using a cellphone to distribute methamphetamine on Oct. 7 were dismissed.

The charges stem from the August 2013 Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit seizure of nearly 25 pounds of methamphetamine from a house at

2174 North 700 Road in rural Eudora.

The methamphetamine, worth almost $1 million if sold by the gram on the street, represented the largest quantity of meth ever seized in Douglas County, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said after the seizure. Because of the unusual amount of methamphetamine, law enforcement officials believe the defendants

are connected to a Mexican drug cartel.

The men will be ordered to forfeit any proceeds obtained as a result of the methamphetamine sales, as well as any property used to facilitate the sales.

Together, the 18 defendants made more than $7 million from the sales, according to court documents.

Rowlette will be sentenced Nov. 18, Ruiz will be sentenced Nov. 24, Corona-Monjo will be

Topeka (ap)— High school students in Kansas will not be able to skip state mathematics and English assessment tests to focus on college entrance exams and career-oriented tests after federal education officials blocked the plan.

The Kansas State Board of Education wanted to allow schools to choose whether to drop state tests in favor of concentrating on exams they take to prepare for life after high school, such as the ACT and job skills tests. However, the U.S. Education Department informed the state that its proposal would conflict with federal testing requirements that ensure accountability in schools, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

Interim Kansas Education SCHOOLS Commissioner Brad Neuenswander said state education officials will now restrict state math and English tests to 10th grade. Students now take the math and English tests in grades three through eight and at least once in high school but some students were tested more than once in high school, he said.

“We don’t want to be redundant or give more assessments than are needed or required,” Neuenswander said.

The state officials said in the statement that tests should not be a waste of class time and should provide useful information for parents, teachers and students. This year, the state math and reading tests will take longer to complete than in the past.

The state also plans to reduce testing in other ways, such as eliminating separate writing tests for students in grades that take state science and history or government assessments that require composition. Students in other grades will have writing incorporated into their reading tests. It’s part of the nationwide Common Core standards that include more complex tests.

Westboro Church seeks intervention Plan B in lawsuit challenging marriage ban

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Lawyers for the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church are seeking to intervene in a federal lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

In a petition filed with the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., Sunday, attorneys Margie Phelps and Rachel Hockenbarger say that if samesex marriage is legalized, it “will bring great woe

and harm to this state.”

Phelps is a daughter of the late Fred Phelps, Sr., who founded the church.

It is known for its strident opposition to homosexuality and provocative protests against social tolerance of gays and lesbians. The elder Phelps died March 19.

The church became notorious in the 1990s for protesting at the funerals of AIDS victims and, later, the funerals of soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Attached to the petition is a lengthy collection of biblical quotes which the attorneys argue support their position.

The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of two lesbian couples, including one in Douglas County, who argue that the Kansas constitutional amendment adopted in 2005 violates the federal constitution’s guaranty of equal protection of the laws.

Earlier this year, 10th

U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over Kansas, struck down similar bans in Utah and Oklahoma, and the U.S. Supreme Court this month declined to hear appeals of those rulings.

That set the stage for gay rights advocates in Kansas to launch a similar challenge to the Kansas Constitution.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office is defending the state’s ban.

She and others on the account management team have been helping a few companies with mar-

death while attempting to commit aggravated burglary, according to probable cause information from the District Attorney’s Office.

A jury acquitted Walker in 2011 on charges connected to his alleged role in a December 2010 shooting at South Pointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St. Walker was charged with attempted seconddegree murder and possessing a firearm as a felon after Darrick Dew was

shot during a large party at an apartment. After the verdict, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the lack of cooperation by witnesses hindered prosecutors’ ability to present a full case.

In 2008, Walker was also suspected in a shooting and robbery at a Lawrence apartment that resulted in a Lawrence man being shot in the leg. But in 2011, Douglas County pros-

ecutors dismissed the case before it went to trial. Branson said afterward that both the victim and witness were unable to recall the incident, again prohibiting prosecutors from being able to proceed with the case.

Walker’s jury trial for Roberts’ death is expected to last five days.

He will make his next appearance in court on Dec. 23 for a motions hearing.

ket research and social media, particularly when it comes to marketing to college-aged students, she said. At job interviews, she said, she’ll be able to elaborate on specific projects she’s done.

“It’s a lot of great opportunities for students to be able to get real hands-on work, which is something that sometimes not a lot of people have an opportunity to do,” Marquess said.

KU has hired marketing professional Janet Rose to direct The Agency. Rose, a Professor of the Practice for the journalism school, is at the top of her profession and will be able to teach the trade as well

as what’s going on in the real marketing world, Brill said.

Rose holds three degrees from KU, a bachelor’s and master’s in English and a doctorate in American Studies. Her resume includes developing brand strategy and strategic messaging for clients such as Procter and Gamble, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart and Kohl’s, plus work as a consultant and strategist for a number of firms.

“The Agency adds another pillar to the School of Journalism,” Rose said in a news release from KU. “The fact that so many students have signed up speaks volumes about the

quality of the students here at the J-School and about the quality of teaching.”

More than 70 students have applied to work for The Agency at KU. Brill said probably 40 hires would be paid at first but more could work for experience. Eventually, she said, The Agency should grow and pay even more student employees.

Founding investment partners in The Agency include several Lawrence and Kansas City area firms. KU Endowment continues accepting donations to help with The Agency’s development.

years. The tax would add $20 to every $10,000 worth of taxable purchases made in the city limits.

When the Lawrence chamber of commerce endorsed the sales tax proposal earlier this year, it noted the likelihood of a property tax increase if the sales tax isn’t approved.

Corliss did not go that far on Monday.

“You have to ask yourself whether you think the elected officials will raise the mill levy for this type of project,” Corliss said.

“They might, but they also might be challenged with some other issues.”

The logistics of any property tax increase also are worth noting. The earliest city commissioners would be able to raise property taxes is for the city’s 2016 budget, Corliss has said. City commissioners begin 2016 budget deliberations in the summer of 2015. There will be a City Commission election that takes place prior to those deliberations. Three of the five seats on the commission — those held

by Commissioners Mike Dever, Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm — are up for election. That makes it possible a new commission will be deciding any property tax issue.

“What I can tell you is that if it doesn’t pass, the need doesn’t go away,” Police Chief Tarik Khatib told the Rotary crowd. “Your officers still will go out there and do the best job they can, but we’ll just have to figure out what we’ll do next.”

KU tree tally Kansas University has lots of trees — but not nearly as many as it once did.

W

hat happened to all those trees on Mount Oread?

Trees are an important part of the Kansas University landscape, so it came as something of a surprise that the campus is falling behind on maintaining its tree population.

To help remedy that situation, the university is planning a special treeplanting event on Friday and calling attention to a KU Endowment Association effort to raise funds to defray the costs of planting and maintaining trees on campus.

Even though it seems there are lots of trees on the KU campus, figures cited in the Journal-World last week indicate there are far fewer than there used to be. Storm damage, disease, construction and age have taken their toll on trees, and KU is having a hard time keeping up with the need to replace them.

In 2013, KU planted 52 trees but had to remove 71 trees. The previous year, 42 trees were planted but 87 were lost. KU officials say that trend has been steady for a number of years.

As part of their effort to step up tree replacement, a group called Replant Mount Oread has organized Arbor Day tree-planting events for three years.

The organization’s first fall tree planting event “Trick or Trees” is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday and will focus on the lawn between Marvin and Lindley halls. The group is seeking to restore some of the original landscaping to the area by planting additional Bartlett pear trees, dwarf mugo pines and flowers.

The Jayhawk Boulevard construction project that currently is underway also includes plans to restore the tree canopy on either side of the street. The trees that previously provided that canopy were mostly elms and fell victim to Dutch elm disease in the mid-1970s. It’s not an inexpensive proposition; officials estimate it will cost $1 million to plant about 200 trees along the boulevard.

KU is known for the beauty of its campus. Maintaining the trees and other plantings that are essential to that reputation is an ongoing challenge. It seems that many alumni with fond memories of Mount Oread would be eager to support efforts to preserve the campus’s natural beauty for future generations.

Hopefully, recent publicity will inspire them to step up and help fill that need.

Buenos Aires move may set example Buenos Aires — This capital is about to take a bold step that might be a good idea for Miami, New York and many other urban centers around the world: It will move its city hall, and its 2,500 employees, to one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods.

By Dec. 15, Mayor Mauricio Macri — one of the three leading candidates for next year’s presidential elections — is scheduled to start the city hall’s move from downtown Buenos Aires to the southern district of Parque Patricios, one of the city’s most abandoned areas. The idea is to revitalize Parque Patricios and at the same time reduce traffic congestion and pollution at the city’s center.

What’s more, the new city hall will be located in an ultra-modern $30 million steel and glass construction that is being built by renowned architect Sir Norman Foster.

His firm, Foster and Partners, has built among other things the futuristic Beijing and Hong Kong airports, London’s City Hall, and Berlin’s reconstructed Reichstag parliament building.

I visited the nearly finished construction at Parque Patricios last week, and the building is truly impressive. It occupies a full square block, is largely lit by sunlight during office hours, and its inside looks like a series of balco-

“

Thanks to tax exemptions and other incentives offered by the city, 174 companies and three universities have recently moved to Buenos Aires’ previously downtrodden southern neighborhoods …” nies hanging in the air, where people will work in offices without walls.

It is scheduled to house the mayor’s office and 1,500 employees, while another 1,000 will work in other buildings scattered around the city.

Originally, it was built for the city-run Banco Ciudad, but the mayor and the bank’s authorities decided to swap their respective headquarters.

Other European and Latin American cities, such as Barcelona, Spain, and Medellin, Colombia, have already

moved some government offices and cultural centers to poor neighborhoods in hopes of revamping them.

Urban planners call this trend “urban acupuncture.”

Medellin has even built a giant 400-yard high outdoor mechanic escalator that connects the 140,000 residents of one of the city’s biggest slums, which sits atop a hill, with the rest of the city.

Since it was built in 2011, the Comuna 13 slum, which was one of Colombia’s most crime-ridden areas, has become increasingly prosperous — and safer.

Macri told me the city has recently taken other steps to revitalize Parque Patricios.

Thanks to tax exemptions and other incentives offered by the city, 174 companies and three universities have recently moved to Buenos Aires’ previously downtrodden southern neighborhoods, he said.

“The U.S. model of cities with suburbs, where people commute long hours to go to work, has failed,” Macri told me, adding that Buenos Aires has copied that model and people often spend three hours a day commuting to work. “It makes much more sense to create many selfcontained downtown areas within the city, where people can live, work and shop.”

I asked Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado whether it

wouldn’t be a good idea for Miami to move its city hall from its current bay-view location to one of the poorest areas of town. “I don’t think so,” he said.

According to Regalado, Miami City Hall’s centric location has the advantage of being accessible to people from all over the city, which allows povertystricken residents to participate in public hearings. Neither New York, nor Chicago, nor any other big U.S. cities have moved their centrally located city halls to poor areas, he said.

My opinion: Miami, which has been concentrating its glitziest buildings on Biscayne Bay — and is now discussing construction of a $430 million 1,000-foot futuristic mega-tower, SkyRise Miami, which promoters say will be the city’s version of the Eiffel Tower — should consider following Buenos Aires’ steps.

Why not move City Hall, or some of the city’s growing number of ultra-modern museums, to poor areas, so as to drive more people to go there and help revitalize them? Not only Miami, but New York, Chicago and many other U.S. cities should watch the Buenos Aires experiment closely.

If it works, it may be worth copying.

A better fix To the editor: The best way to support our local police is to vote “no” on Nov. 4. Once you’ve digested the political rhetoric and discounted the hyperbole, one thing remains uncontroverted: Among the 30 departments in the well-respected Benchmark Cities Survey, Lawrence’s violent crime-solving rate has plummeted. In 2013 we finished dead last. (Journal-World, Sept. 20, 2014) Chief Khatib says the survey allows us “to measure performance as compared to similar communities.” He adds, “A large percentage of the agencies are clustered in the mid-states region and several are college communities; making Lawrence’s inclusion … more relevant.” (memorandum, Sept. 24, 2012).

Unfortunately, we don’t compare very well.

It would be foolish to spend $28 million without first determining the reasons for this sub-par performance. A struggling business would never proceed in such an undisciplined fashion, and neither should a faltering police department.

To his credit, the chief has acknowledged that it will take more than an expensive building to bring the police force up to snuff.

What is the best way forward? A comprehensive analysis of current practices by a blue-ribbon group of Lawrencians and outside experts. A slap-dash proposal for a monolith on the edge of town is no substitute for gathering all the facts, listening to objective experts, and formulating a knowledge-based plan.

Only then can we determine how best to fix a police department in need of a major overhaul. To do otherwise would be a $28 million mistake.

A “no” vote is the best way to show so much, for so long, with so little — support for the men and women in blue. for our community.

Jerry Harper, Aaron W. Clopton, Lawrence Lawrence

Correct tax To the editor: Concerns about the taxing mechanism for the proposed police facility have a great deal of merit as raising taxes should be a last resort for a community wanting to experience a pro-growth, pro-business transformation. The city estimated that it would need to add around 3 mills to the property tax levy for 20 years for a $30 million project (this project is financing $24.2 million).

The property-tax stream is limited to community members owning property.

This fails to capture support from visitors, college students and renters — all of whom spend significant time in Lawrence consuming the benefit of public safety provided by our police force.

Further, according to Chad Lawhorn’s calculations in a May 25 Journal-World story, Lawrence has the second highest property taxes in the state when compared to median wages, while it only had the eighth highest sales tax rate. Shifting the burden from property owners alone broadens the base of support for the project. In fact, 30 percent of sales tax dollars are paid by the aforementioned visitors, students and renters, whose support we fail to capture with a property tax hike.

Additionally, the sales tax of 0.2 percent (2 cents on $10) is written with narrow sunset language that terminates the tax in nine years or less and can only be used for this project.

These were significant reasons as to why I chose to vote “yes.” I hope you will join me in this opportunity to support our police officers who have done

Wise choices To the editor: “The Good Society” by Robert Bellah (1992) and “Deep Economy” by Bill McKibben (2009), seen as bookends on the topic of what is best for our future, lay out the plans and attributes of how to best achieve societal harmony.

Socio-economic and political concerns have deluged our nation since the stolen election of November 2000. A minority of people take action. Voting is one thing that you can easily accomplish.

The Occupy movement followed on the heels of the financial meltdown of 2008. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders stands alone as the elected representative that revealed in 2009 that four trillion not the more commonly reported hundreds of billions was given to 18 banks and financial institutions during that October financial coup d’etat.

Having intelligence is one thing. Having the wisdom to tell the truth and to try to restore good leadership is another.

Please vote this midterm election using your own wisdom about which candidates of your own choice can bring about the change that is needed.

Sven Erik Alstrom, Lawrence

slumped. Turmoil has gripped financial markets.

And the U.S. job market, despite steady gains, still isn’t fully healthy.

Yet when the Federal Reserve meets this week, few foresee any major policy changes. The Fed is expected to complete a bondbuying program, which was intended to keep long-term interest rates low. And, to support the economy, it will likely reiterate it’s in no rush to raise its key short-term rate.

The economy the Fed will discuss has been strengthening, thanks to solid consumer and business spending, manufacturing growth and a surge in hiring that’s lowered the unemployment rate to a six-year low of 5.9 percent.

Still, other gauges of the job market remain a concern. These include stagnant pay; many parttime workers who can’t find full-time jobs; and a historically high number of

Washington — While Congress mulls how to curtail the NSA’s collection of Americans’ telephone records, impatient civil liberties groups are looking to legal challenges already underway in the courts to limit government surveillance powers.

Three appeals courts are hearing lawsuits against the bulk phone records program, creating the potential for an eventual Supreme Court review.

Judges in lower courts, meanwhile, are grappling with the admissibility in terror prosecutions of evidence gained through the NSA’s warrantless surveillance.

Though it’s unclear whether the Supreme Court will weigh in, the cases are proceeding at a time when the justices appear increasingly comfortable taking up digital privacy matters — including GPS tracking of cars and police searches of cellphones.

Newark, N.J. — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk.

As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to Ebola fears, the CDC’s recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.

The CDC now says even if people have no symptoms and are not considered contagious they should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola — say, by touching their fluids without protective gear or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.

Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn’t warrant quar-

CRANING YOUR NECK TO LOOK AT YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN IS A COMMON CAUSE OF BACK AND NECK PAIN, says Lawrence Memorial Hospital physical therapist Adam Rolf. Sitting with your back and neck straight, on the other hand, can reduce pain and even increase your productivity, Rolf says.

Good posture can prevent pain in the workplace

By Emily Mulligan Special to the Journal-World

The difference between feeling great and having chronic neck or back pain is literally a matter of inches when it comes to posture and ergonomics in the workplace.

Even with innovations such as the exercise ball chair and the standing

desk bringing awareness and providing relief at desk jobs, many people still suffer from ailments such as headaches, shoulder pain and backaches because of having improper posture.

“Eventually you will

hurt if you don’t work on your posture. You might have to spend time at the doctor or in physical therapy, when it’s something you can prevent,” said Adam Rolf, physical therapist and athletic trainer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Often the pain is caused by a muscle imbalance, Rolf said, with the muscles on the front of the

neck and shoulders doing very little work while the muscles on the back of the neck and shoulders lean and strain continuously toward computer screens or mobile devices.

Rolf said that no matter what the office setup is, variety of positions is the key. Even standing desks should not be used all day.

He recommends changing positions throughout

the day by alternating between sitting straight upright and leaning back in a more recumbent position, while keeping the body aligned.

The best thing desk workers can do, Rolf said, is to take a “microbreak” about every 20 minutes.

He recommends setting a timer on a mobile device as a reminder to pause for Please see POSTURE, page 2B

For all species, fatherhood full of new experiences

By Dan Coleman Special to the Journal-World

I’ll never forget the sound of my dad laughing to the point of tears as my family sat watching a nature show on television.

Filmmakers had captured the drama of a female chimpanzee giving birth in a zoo, and after a shot of the new mother cradling her baby in a state of delirious wonder, they cut to the chimp father, seated in a far corner of their enclosure, back turned on

his family, playing with his feet. The narrator cut him no slack when he still hadn’t acknowledged his newborn two days later, and instead of a Kodak moment, we viewers were confronted with footage of a newly minted dad too busy trying to stick ping pong balls in his ears to bother with a major life change.

Pretty soon all the humans were laughing, but my mom, sister and I were most amused by my dad’s reaction. We figured he

saw himself in the chimp, who shared 98 percent of his DNA, but whose nature shamelessly revealed the reluctance of a new father.

I didn’t really get the joke, though, until the night my son was born. After a day I can only describe as long and difficult (not to mention my wife’s exponentially more trying day), I was ready to go home, get some sleep, and get back to my normal life.

Wikipedia has a long list of similar incidents dating back to 1874. It’s both reassuring and disturbing for the same reason — there’s really “nothing new under the sun.” In 1890 young Ben Corbery drew a revolver and shot Cora Brubach, aged 10 because Cora informed the teacher of his misconduct. In 1922, Houston Upton, age 18, broke up with fifteen-year-old Gladys Solomon, who then refused to give back his ring. So, Houston returned to her home later that night, shot and killed her and her thirteen-year-old friend Nell as they slept, then went to the Sunset schoolhouse and committed suicide.

All of this has happened before, and it will happen again. Today, however, we better understand mental illness and we know how to treat it. Might we take advantage of that and afford children and teens (and adults) the care they need at the critiPlease see SHOOTINGS, page 2B

in my neck, and my wife saying she needed some sleep and would I mind taking the baby for a while, I must confess to chimpy thoughts. No one in that room was laughing, but in my mind I heard a familiar chuckle echo down the years, that of my dad, whose shortcomings I had pledged so self-righteously to correct as soon as I became a father myself. Here in my first hours on the job I felt like I had arrived on a foreign doorstep after a long and bumpy ride, and could hardly bring myself to open the door and go in.

I kept thinking about my chimp counterpart around that time, but couldn’t remember how it turned out for him, so out of curiosity I checked out a great book from the library, Jeffrey Moussaief Masson’s “The Emperor’s Embrace: Reflections on Animal Families and Fatherhood�

Ideally, that break allows for standing up and stepping away from the desk, as well. “If you take microbreaks throughout the day, by the end of the day you will have 20 to 30 minutes of light stretching. That will go a long way throughout the year,� he said.

cal points they need it? Too many parents and politicians ignore those issues, to our peril. I’m not promising that therapy and careful medication management will stop school shootings, but neither can we know how much harm has been prevented by offering them.

What we cannot gain from psychology is a “profile� of school shooters. “Expert� commentators were already identifying their “common characteristics� by the time I got to the locker room — probably bullied; history of psychiatric or behavioral problems; on dangerous medications. By evening, however, we learned that Jaylen Fryberg was a beloved student from a good family and a homecoming prince. The talking heads changed up and commented on how strange it was that he didn’t fit “the profile� so his “good kid facade� probably “hid many underlying traits of deep psychopathology.�

Instead, respectfully consider that Wikipedia list to offer context for this sad story. You won’t find any profiles there, but you will find more than one Jaylen Fryberg story. And any way you slice it, these are stories of mental breakdown.

Kyra: Media often highlights the modest correlation between mental illness and school shootings, but because each case is vastly different from every other, no direct cause can be pinpointed to eliminate such acts of violence. Even with no magic cure, I think better access to mental health care could substantially minimize the risk.

A tiny fraction of people with mental illness hurt others, but giving anyone who needs it a chance to be heard, to deal with inner turmoil, and to take

(Atria, 1999). Masson, a psychologist and student of animal behavior, examines fatherhood across the animal world and provides examples of what we humans would consider the best (wolves, seahorses, emperor penguins) and worst (lions, elephants, bears) animal dads. Sad to say, there was no redemption here for King Louie; Masson finds the typical male chimp’s indifference to his offspring too boring to explore. But I discovered a host of other great animal fathers to admire: A beaver escorting his two kits on an arduous journey to a new lodge, a tamarin monkey assisting in the birth of his own baby, wolf dads whose involvement rivals the most engaged of human fathers.

If we’re giving out World’s Greatest Dad T-shirts to wild animals, though, the great-winged petrel may be the most deserving. This poor sap’s chick, which hatches at around 3 ounces, increases its weight a hundredfold in a matter of

months, until it has grown into a “furry bowling ball� of 80 pounds, three times the size of its pop. Then it shrinks. Contemplating a similar human scenario, I’m not sure what alarms me more: an Incredible Shrinking Toddler, or pushing a 600-pound baby in a stroller.

This example reminds us how absurd it is to judge animals by human standards, and the best lesson of Masson’s book may be the sheer diversity of the parenting experience across the animal kingdom. But even within species, Masson urges us to remember, lives are led by individuals whose behavior can vary widely. Case in point: A few months ago I stumbled across a DVD at the library about another chimp dad.

While it may be atypical, Disneynature’s “Chimpanzee� documents the story of Oscar, a baby chimp left to die after his mother is killed, until the alpha male of his group personally takes over his care. I wish my dad were here to see our old furry friend redeemed.

head forward is the No. 1 problem and one of the biggest things we do with mobile devices,� Rolf said.

Desk workers should position their chairs so that their eyes are looking slightly down at the computer. The Mayo Clinic guidelines on workplace ergonomics recommend sitting about an arm’s length away from the monitor.

When working on the computer, Rolf says, workers’ ears should be aligned with their shoulders, and their shoulders should be in line with their hips. The shoulder blades should be back, not rounded forward.

Workers should keep key objects, such as the stapler and phone, within arm’s reach as well, the Mayo Clinic advises.

Rolf recommends al-

Our bodies are amazing, but if we make these things better habits, that makes a big difference in the long run.�

meds could stand between a potentially harmful person and a terrible incident.

However, in a country where mental health services are expensive, stigmatized and elusive, help can be difficult to secure. “Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings� (2004) noted that 60 percent of school shootings happen in small, rural towns where access to mental health care is limited or nonexistent. Existing services often target only those with the most severe mental illness. But allowing lower levels of disharmony to fester until they build up can end up being harmful or devastating.

While Kansas hasn’t had a school shooting since 1985, a recent Kansas Health Institute article stated funding for mental health has decreased in the last five or six years, while the need has increased and caused overcrowding in available facilities.

We can’t remove or downsize services and then react with surprise when another teen breaks down and lashes out. Instead of cutting schools’ WRAP workers and slashing other therapeutic measures, efforts should be intensified to route teens toward positive outlets.

Of course, that won’t yield press conferences and panel debates. Media doesn’t sell many success stories of the “almost dids.� As the Washington Post notes in an editorial on the subject, “Prevention is invisible to the public when it succeeds.�

It is, however, apparent when it fails.

Human fathers, Masson writes, show a wider range of behavior than any other species. We like to think an abundance of choices, not instinct, gives rise to this diversity, but as time passes I see all I do as a dad rooted in a single choice, the same I faced the night my son was born, and again each day for the past four years: Do I go through that door or not?

I don’t always feel like turning the knob. Once inside, I often don’t know what to do. What leads us to it, and what we face in there differs for each person, but all human parents enter by the same door.

ternating between a straight-up sitting position and a recumbent sitting position throughout the day.

While a worker is sitting in a desk chair, his or her knees should be slightly above his or her hips to take pressure off the lower back. Feet should be flat on the floor; avoid crossing legs as much as possible, as that can lead to back issues. Rolf recommends shifting weight on the feet periodically instead. “Gravity is always working against us. We have

to do our part to stay in a neutral position where our anatomy works for us,� he said. “Our bodies are amazing, but if we make these things better habits, that makes a big difference in the long run.�

But she says that nothing has worked as well for her as regular exercise that forces her to move and engage her neck and shoulders.

She knows that her work station most likely is not helping her pain situation, but she has sentimental attachment to her desk. “I’ll be sitting and realize that my shoulders are by my ears. I’m probably not great about taking breaks,� she said. “I do things outside of my work environment that will help things not get too bad.�

Marshall’s shoulder tension has reached a point a few times that she thinks it caused headaches — that was usually the point when she sought help. “I haven’t made adjust-

ments to get a special chair or an exercise ball to sit on or anything like that,� she said.

Nor has she looked into a standing desk, which many employers, including Kansas University, are making available.

Rolf cautions against perceiving standing desks as a complete solution to posture problems. “A standing desk is good for back and neck issues, but you can’t use a standing desk all day,� he said.

The hospital has a physical therapist who can go to workplaces and evaluate work stations, should anyone need that service, Rolf said. “Pain affects so much, including mood and productivity. If you are in good shape and you feel your best, you’re going to perform your best,� Rolf said.

Straighten out sexual accusations with cousin Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

don’t think talking to my cousin would get me anywhere. Should I speak to my uncle about what happened, even at this point in time? — Concerned Dear Concerned: We hope you have told your parents, as well as your aunt and uncle, the truth about this accusation. It’s not uncommon for young cousins to “practice” on each other, and it’s very likely that your overly hormonal cousin was embarrassed

Halloween decorators square off Proof that Halloween has become a big ordeal on the order of Christmas arrives with “The Great Halloween Fright Fight” (7 p.m., ABC). Long gone are the days of merely putting a candle into a jack-o’-lantern and leaving it on the front stoop. Six families compete to come up with the most elaborate and belabored holiday display. One will walk away with a $50,000 prize. That buys a lot of candy corn.

O Not content to air television movies about s m a r t w o m e n making questionable choices, Lifetime launches the docuseries “Prison Wives Club” (9 p.m.).

It follows four women who fall in love and choose to marry incarcerated felons whose sentences vary from 10 years to life. “Club” shows how these unorthodox spouses deal with limited contact, attend support groups and contend with the judgment of others.

O On a related theme, “My Crazy Love” (9 p.m., Oxygen) interviews celebrities about the more exuberant ways they have expressed devotion. It also offers re-enactments of these private and public displays of affection — from jumping out of a plane to hiding out in a girlfriend’s closet. Celebrity “lovers” include Adrienne Bailon (”Nail’d It!” and “The Real”) and Cheryl Burke (”Dancing With the Stars”).

Tonight’s other highlights O Knockout rounds continue on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Anthony tackles the poor management that plagues the Crookston Inn in Minnesota on “Hotel Impossible” (8 p.m., Travel).

O “Frontline” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “The Rise of ISIS,” a look at the unraveling of Iraq after the departure of U.S. troops and the emergence of new terror threats.

O An imposter wreaks havoc on “Person of Interest” (9 p.m., CBS).

O Casey helps his sister on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 50s, married for 30 years, and we have no children. Several years ago, the issue of wills came up. We had different opinions on the way our estate should be divided. The end result is, we still don’t have wills or trusts set up.

I think half of the estate should go to my side of the family and half to hers. She thinks more should go to her family because there are more of them. The nieces and nephews on her side are not doing as well finan-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Oct. 28: This year your style of communication could radically change. You even might decide to sign up for a class in writing.

You sometimes become rigid in your thinking. Try to let go of this tendency a little more often; this transformation will allow you to relate to others more easily. If you are single, be honest with yourself about why you might be that way.

As a result, you could decide to make some changes. If you are attached, the energy between you and your sweetie will become even stronger.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ An important phone call could fall to the wayside. Tonight: A must appearance. Invite a loved one along.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You will be more restrained than usual. Tonight: Be imaginative.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You could be questioning a choice you’ve recently made. Tonight: Opt for some cozy moments.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Your emotional qualities help reinforce your innate intuitiveness. Tonight: Enjoy the person you are with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You’ll feel ready and en-

cially as those on my side of the family.

I’m of the opinion that a marriage is a 50/50 proposition, and this should be no different.

My inheritance from my parents went right into our account with no question, and we always have had shared bank accounts. What do you think? — John Dear John: You’re missing one small reality: Unless you and your wife die together, one of you will inherit from the other, at which point, the deciding vote belongs to the surviving spouse. Please consult with an attorney who specializes in estate law and can help you sort through your assets.

Dear Annie: When I was a teenager, one of my cousins tried to molest me when we were at our grandmother’s house. He tried to force a kiss on me and said because I was older, I should learn about sex and teach it to him. I fought him off.

I was afraid to tell our grandmother, because she would have been so upset. Grandma is gone now. The problem is, this cousin told his parents I tried to molest him. Consequently, they have treated me terribly.

His mother told me she didn’t want me around her daughter because I might hurt her. She is nasty and belligerent around me, even now.

CELEBRATING 60 YEARS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Next year looks worse If you think the Kansas University football team lacks talent this season, wait until next year.

On paper, at least, the roster looks even worse.

Compare the 11 best seniors to the 11 best returning players, and it’s difficult not to reach the conclusion that the Jayhawks will face even longer odds in 2015.

Gone, in order of value to this season’s team: 1.

Ben Heeney, 2. JaCorey Shepherd, 3. Dexter McDonald, 4. Michael Reynolds, 5. Jimmay Mundine, 6. Nick Harwell, 7. Keon Stowers, 8. Tony Pierson, 9. Ngalu Fusimalohi, 10.

Mike Smithburg, 11. Trevor Pardula.

These 11 players with Div. I experience project as the best of the 2015 squad: 1. Corey Avery: The true freshman who at various times was offered scholarships by Ohio State, Texas and Nebraska has had to work hard for his yards, thanks to defenses loading up against the run. Still, he leads the team in rushing yards (417) and touchdowns (three) and is averaging 4.3 yards per carry.

2. De’Andre Mann: Quick and tough, the junior has rushed for 362 yards and averages 4.8 per carry.

3. Jake Love: He plays with the same crazed style as Heeney and although not as fast as Heeney does have good speed, which helps him compensate for below-average size for a linebacker. Solid player.

4. Isaiah Johnson: Junior safety has not matched performance of his sophomore season, when he was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.

5. Andrew Bolton: Explosive defensive tackle has come on of late and has a chance to have a big senior season.

6. Michael Cummings: Not fast enough to turn the corner on runs, he has upgraded the offense since taking over at quarterback because he’s smart, decisive and throws an accurateenough long ball to make the defense respect him as a passing threat.

7. Kent Taylor: Tight end came to KU from Florida with reputation as a talented pass-catcher not terribly interested in blocking.

8. Rodriguez Coleman: Wide receiver won’t get to showcase talent unless he avoids more disciplinary sanctions.

9. Fish Smithson: Safety’s instincts praised by interim coach Clint Bowen. So far, he has looked better against the run than pass.

10. Nigel King: Maryland transfer knows how to get open and plays a more physical style than most wide receivers.

11. Tevin Shaw: Hardhitting nickel back makes plays, but needs to polish pass-coverage skills.

Clearly, Kansas can’t afford a third consecutive bad hire if it is to attain respectability this decade.

Warm welcome

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL COACH ROY WILLIAMS LAUGHS AS HE HAS HIS PICTURE TAKEN with old friends — including his former administrative assistant, Joanie Stephens, right — during the “Celebrating 60 Years” get-together on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Fieldhouse faithful cheer Williams

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Roy Williams, who admits he’s as emotional as any person alive, tossed and turned in his Lawrence Oread Hotel bed on Sunday night/early Monday morning.

“There were some people mad at me, and I was hurt, and they were hurt, the whole bit,” the 12th-year North Car-

olina coach said of reaction to his leaving Kansas University for his alma mater back in 2003.

“So those memories came up a little bit. I got up at 4 this morning and just thought what it might feel like and what I might say and hope I didn’t mess it up for anybody else,” Williams added of trepidation before Monday night’s “Celebrating 60

Years” show in Allen Fieldhouse.

As it turned out, Williams — who admitted “I always worried, to be honest with you, about coming back” yet declared, “I’m in,” when Bill Self approached him last summer about appearing at the fundraiser — needn’t have been hesitant at all.

The 64-year-old coach received a long, loud standing

ovation as former Jayhawk Scot Pollard preceded his coach at the podium with these words: “It’s a great honor to introduce my mentor, my coach, my hero, Roy Williams.”

Firebirds strike quickly in 2-0 regional win over LHS

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

FREE STATE’S BRICESON JUNGE (15) and Lawrence’s Alex Mwithiga contest a possession in the Firebirds’ 2-0 win Monday at LHS.

Free State High boys soccer players were pumped when they won the first chapter of the City Showdown a few weeks ago.

That was nothing.

Playing against Lawrence High in the first round of regionals Monday meant so much more. The intensity was raised. Every play had so much riding on it.

With all of that added in, this City Showdown victory was much sweeter. The Firebirds scored two quick goals and played strong

defense in a 2-0 victory at LHS. It’s Free State’s first win in regionals since 2011.

“It was beyond great,” FSHS junior Jordan Patrick said. “It just feels so good to finally get a regional win.

This has been the first one in so long, so it’s just really great. It’s amazing.”

The ninth-seeded Firebirds (9-7-1) were hoping for a quick start, and that’s exactly what they got when junior midfielder Will Laufer struck a ball toward the net, and it spun off of Lawrence High senior goalkeeper Andrew Ornburn and trickled in for a goal in the eighth minute.

“I didn’t even know it went in,” Laufer said. “I turned around and was going back to play defense.

I mean, it’s lucky, but we make our own luck, so we’ll take it.”

In the 21st minute, the Firebirds struck again for another goal. Patrick squeezed a pass between a few LHS defenders, and it found senior forward Carson Gilliland, who flung a shot, which was supposed to be a pass, by the back post for a 2-0 lead.

Washington tops Dallas in OT Arlington, Texas (ap) — Colt McCoy’s successful return to Texas trumped Tony Romo’s dramatic return to the game.

McCoy directed Washington to Kai Forbath’s 40-yard field goal in overtime, and Dallas was unable to answer after Romo came back from an injury to his surgically repaired back, sending the Redskins to a 20-17 victory on Monday night that snapped the Cowboys’ sixgame winning streak.

McCoy, the former Texas star playing at the home of the Cowboys for the first time since his final college game in his home state, calmly drove the Redskins (3-5) to the winning points.

The Cowboys (6-2) had one last chance, but didn’t get a first down. Romo’s final pass on fourth down was knocked away by Bashaud Breeland.

Romo left after getting sacked by Keenan Robinson in the third quarter. He lay motionless for several minutes but returned for the final Dallas drive of regulation.

The 34-year-old Romo, who had surgery for a herniated disk last December, reached for his back after the hit and stayed flat on the ground before trainers rolled him to his side.

He walked to the locker room mostly under his own power.

He played through a back injury against the Redskins last year, leading a winning drive that kept the Cowboys’ playoff hopes alive. But he had to sit out a season-ending loss to Philadelphia that kept Dallas out of the postseason for the fourth straight year.

This time, it was McCoy getting the win in his first start in almost three years after beginning the night with a career record of 6-15.

McCoy, who was 25-of-30 for 299 yards, threw 23 yards to Pierre Garcon to get the winning drive going. On thirdand-3 from midfield, he fled the pocket, pointed to Jordan Reed to run up the field and lofted a pass that Reed caught while tiptoeing inbounds.

Another 16-yarder to Reed made Forbath’s job much easier.

Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray extended the record he took from Jim Brown a week ago with his eighth straight 100-yard rushing game to start the season. He had 141 yards rushing and another 80 receiving.

Brandon Weeden took over at quarterback after Romo was hurt, and his first play was a handoff to Murray for 51 yards to the Redskins 6, pushing him over 1,000 yards for the second season in a row.

The previous Dallas running back with consecutive 1,000yard seasons was NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith with 11 in a row from 1991 to 2001.

Royals pin hopes on 23-year-old’s right arm Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Royals turn to a 23-yearold rookie to save their season, but not just any 23-year-old rookie: the hardest-throwing starting pitcher in the major leagues.

Yordano Ventura gets the ball tonight with the Royals trailing 3-2 in the World Series, the same position they were in when they sent Charlie Leibrandt to the mound against St. Louis 29 years ago.

Kansas City won 2-1 that night on pinch-hitter Dane Iorg’s two-run single in the ninth after a blown call by first base umpire Don Denkinger, and the Royals went on to blow out the Cardinals 11-0 a day later for their only title.

“We have a lot of confidence in Ventura. We have confidence that we will win every time he takes the mound,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We know we can do it. We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home, where we feed off the fans and that energy.”

In a matchup of Game 2 starters, the Giants go with

33-year-old Jake Peavy. Ventura, whose fastball averaged 98 mph this season, didn’t get a decision in the second game, allowing two runs and eight hits in 51⁄3 innings before Royals manager Ned Yost went to his hard-throwing HDH relief trio. Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland combined to allow one hit — Brandon Crawford’s two-out single in the ninth — and the Royals won 7-2.

Peavy took the loss, giving up four runs and six hits in five innings-plus. He is seeking his first World Series win — he got a decision for Boston in Game 3 last year.

“He’s one of the tough guys out there on the mound,” Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval said. “He wants to finish it Tuesday.”

The second all-wild card World Series has followed the pattern of the first in 2002.

The Giants won the opener on the road, lost the next two games and won two in a row to take a 3-2 lead. San Francisco opened a 5-0 lead in Game 6 at Anaheim but lost 6-5, and the Angels won Game 7 the following night.

Yost hopes history repeats

and Ventura is energized by the Kauffman Stadium crowd.

“The place is going to be absolutely crazy,” he said.

“We’ve got to walk the tightrope now without a net, but our guys aren’t afraid of walking the tightrope without a net.

We fall off and we’re dead. But we win Tuesday, nobody’s got a net: It’s going to be winner take all. So we think it’s going to be fun.”

San Francisco’s Tim Hudson and Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie would be the likely Game 7 starters if the Series is extended to Wednesday. And lurking is Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a four-hit shutout to win Game 5 on Sunday. Bumgarner, 4-0 in Series play with a record-low 0.29 ERA, could come out of the bullpen on two days’ rest for what would be his first relief appearance since throwing two scoreless innings in Game 6 of the 2010 NL Championship Series.

He wouldn’t estimate how long he could go.

“I’m not a big pitch-count guy,” he said. “So as long as you keep getting outs and you feel good, you should stay out there.”

Royals

kinger’s botched call serving as the signature moment of the 1985 World Series won by the Royals over St. Louis.

“We know we can do it,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home where we feed off the fans and that energy.”

Veteran Jake Peavy starts for the Giants against rookie Yordano Ventura — not exactly the matchup many would’ve predicted in April.

But the majors’ most notable names during the regular season — Dodgers ace Kershaw and Angels slugger Trout — flamed out fast in the Division Series. A trio of Cy Young winners didn’t do enough for Detroit. Injuries slowed down former Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.

Even playoff-proven starter Jon Lester looked lost under October’s bright lights for the one-and-done Athletics.

Plus up-and-coming starter Stephen Strasburg showed he still has to polish his postseason poise for the Nationals.

Instead, these playoffs bred a new batch of baseball darlings: Cain and the running Royals, starter-turned-reliever Petit and a pair of blazing bullpens no longer overlooked in the World Series.

Of course, no star has burned brighter than a

25-year-old lefty from North Carolina, the one who peeved Posey with his tempered postgame reaction.

Bumgarner’s dominant performances in Game 1 and Game 5 — not to mention in every previous round of the playoffs — has put San Francisco one win away from another parade down Market Street, something Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and generations of Giants fans had dreamed of for so long.

Now it’s becoming an every-other-year tradition. And if the Giants don’t win Game 6, there’s always a chance Bumgarner could emerge from the bullpen to help out in Game 7.

“It’s not going to be easy at all,” Giants first baseman Brandon Belt said. “It matters that we know that, and I think everybody on this team knows that.”

Royals rookie Brandon Finnegan might understand the topsy-turvy nature of these playoffs better than anyone.

Only four months after he pitched in the College World Series, the 21-year-old reliever got two key outs in the seventh inning as Kansas City won Game 3. A night later, Finnegan failed to bridge the gap to the back end of the bullpen, allowing five runs in an 11-4 loss to San Francisco.

“Baseball can pick you up quickly,” Finnegan said, “and hit you in the gut quickly.”

AT&T Park after the Giants won 5-0 Sunday night.

Could be a lot more cooking in this October oven, too.

Maybe Ned Yost even had it right.

“Oh, man, somewhere inside of me, secretly I had hoped that it would go seven games for the excitement and the thrill of it,” the Kansas City manager said after a loss in Game 4. “Sure looks that way.”

Perhaps it’s only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pulsating postseason at home with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oakland in the AL wild-card game, a thriller that began on the last day of September and nearly stretched into October.

That captivating night in Kansas City set the stage for a month to remember: dramatic finishes, favorites falling and underdogs overachieving, stars slipping and new ones shining.

What happens next is anybody’s guess. After all, the last time Game 6 of the World Series came to Kansas City, one of the most surreal scenes in baseball history unfolded: first-base umpire Don Den-

KU FOOTBALL

Pierson ‘fine’ after bye

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The plan going into last week’s second and final bye week of the 2014 season was for Kansas University’s football team to get healthy.

At least one Jayhawk made good on that goal.

KU coach Clint Bowen said on Monday’s Big 12 coaches teleconference that running back/wide receiver Tony Pierson was back in the mix after recovering from an injury that knocked him out of the Jayhawks’ loss to Texas Tech after just two plays.

“We gave him a couple days off,” Bowen said.

“It was kind of an upperneck injury, almost a sprain, and we had him checked out thoroughly,

and he’s fine. He’s back to practicing and (there) shouldn’t be any issues.”

Pierson enters this week as the Jayhawks’ third-leading rusher (172 yards, 1 touchdown and a 7.8 yards-per-carry average on 20 carries) and receiver (191 yards and 1 touchdown on 16 receptions) and is expected to be a big part of this week’s game plan.

The Jayhawks (2-5 overall, 0-4 Big 12) will play at Baylor (6-1, 3-1) at 3 p.m. Saturday, when they’ll hit the field as a 33-point underdog against the 12th-ranked team in the nation. Baylor is coming off its first loss of the season — a 41-27 loss at West Virginia on Oct. 18 — and, like Kansas, had a bye last week.

Bowen, who also

serves as KU’s defensive coordinator, said Monday morning that he respected the Bears’ high-powered offense.

“Since (Baylor) Coach (Art) Briles has been there, they’ve just continued to improve, and they’ve done it with different quarterbacks, different players,” Bowen said. “They have one of the most creative, challenging offenses in college football, and it shows up every year. They have four wide receivers that can truly take the top off of a defense and run. The quarterback’s obviously one of the best guys in the nation, makes great decisions, throws with accuracy. And then the tailback can run, and the O-line plays well. They’ve created a talented team

with a great system, and it makes it pretty tough.”

NOTEBOOK

Self hopes to outlast mentor Brown

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, 51, grinned when asked if he’d like to stay in coaching as long as his mentor, 74-yearold Larry Brown of SMU. “My only prediction is that I’m hoping he’ll retire before I do. That’s as far as I go,” Kansas University’s Self said with a smile before Monday’s “Celebrating 60 Years” event in Allen Fieldhouse.

“Coach is a basketball genius. He has forgotten more ball than I’ll ever know. He’s doing such a great job at his age. He has a few to several more years in him. I can’t see doing it that long. I certainly hope I can do it for quite a while longer,” Self added.

Brown said he’s having a blast at SMU, where he’s beginning his third season.

“I’m 74 doing this.

I’ve been stealing a long time,” Brown joked of getting paid for something he enjoys so dearly.

“I love every minute of it.

“You are out of (college) coaching as long as I was (he was in NBA after leaving KU), I needed to get up to speed. Jerrance (Howard, former SMU assistant now at KU) and Tim (Jankovich, former KU assistant now coach in waiting at SMU) helped me.

FANS MARVEL AT A VIDEO OF HIGHLIGHTS from the lifespan of Allen Fieldhouse during the celebration.

“I love practice, being around young coaches who want to do what I’ve been able to do and players that really want to be taught and get better. SMU has given me that opportunity, and I’m very fortunate I’m able to do this. I don’t look in mirrors anymore or celebrate birthdays. If I can keep doing that ... why not? I love to coach.” l

Wanda ill: Former KU coach Roy Williams said his wife, Wanda, wanted to attend Monday’s festivities, but she has been recovering from a pair of surgeries. Former KU assistants Joe Holladay and Steve Robinson attended, as did Lawrence High grad Brad Frederick, now a member of Williams’

UNC staff after working at Vanderbilt many years.

Also on hand was former KU player/current UNC assistant C.B. McGrath. l

first got the (KU) job,” Self said. “My first team meeting, the guys asked me, ‘How are we going to play?’ I said we do this, that, this way, that way. I said it’s the best way to play. (Keith) Langford, who was an absolute smartass, said, ‘Is it the best way to play? We just won a lot more games (at KU under Williams) than you did (at Illinois).’”

Brown also joked about his own reputation as a job-hopper.

“You’ve seen me say, ‘There’s no better place to coach, no better place to go to school (than KU on pre-game video).’ I’ve been everywhere. It’s got to be true.”

Brown added: “A lot of people talk about coaches having trees. I have a forest,” he added of his amazing coaching tree that includes Self, John Calipari and others.

Williams spoke of his “hesitancy” about returning to Lawrence, where he coached 15 years. “There were some good friends, who’ve really been fantastic, but people put your picture over a commode, it’s not the best feeling in the world,” he said of a downtown business that put Williams’ picture over the bathroom stall years ago.

Jokes galore: There were some great jokes at Monday’s three-hour, 15-minute event.

Brown teased Williams for wearing a light-blue tie with his gray suit coat.

“Fifteen years he coached as well as anybody, anywhere.

He comes back wearing a gawd-damn Carolina blue tie,” Brown said, Williams doubling over in laughter.

“I’m happy to see you back, Roy,” Brown added in a serious tone.

Self also teased Will liams. “I thought Roy Ted sincere: Former cried a lot. His players cried a lot too when I KU coach Ted Owens, 85,

talked about Dick Harp’s influence on his life. Harp was coach prior to the Owens era.

“I remember him as the man who gave me an opportunity to coach at this level,” Owens said. “He not only was a great mentor for me in the game of basketball, but personally. He shared his faith with me, a faith I carried the rest of my life. He made an enormous impact in my life and I’m really grateful I had an opportunity to spend four years with coach Harp (as assistant) and many years after that when he was with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.”

Owens shed a tear at the end of his speech, which included a funny story about re-inserting Bud Stallworth into the game against Missouri in which he scored 50 points to “tick off Norm (Stewart, MU coach).”

“Thank you, fans, for the love I feel in the arena tonight. May God bless each one of you,” Owens said emotionally. l

Tarik on team: Loud applause followed Self’s telling 7,500 fans that former KU forward Tarik Black had made the roster of the Houston Rockets as a free agent.

Jay’s

l

praise: Emcee

Jay Bilas of ESPN loves Allen Fieldhouse.

“It’s a cathedral of basketball. There’s no better venue for basketball in this country, no better venue in the world than Allen Fieldhouse,” Bilas said. “It’s the ultimate destination for every player, coach, official, fan. If you respect the tradition and history of the game, you know every piece of history, every road leads back to Lawrence, Kansas, and Allen Fieldhouse.” l

Truths: Williams made a couple of confessions Monday. He said he didn’t leave KU the first time the Carolina job opened (when Bill Guthridge quit) because he’d promised Nick Collison he’d be at KU for Collison’s entire career.

He also said he’s an unabashed KU fan.

“There’s never a day goes by I don’t know whether they won or lost the night before,” he said of the Jayhawks. l

Self on KU: “There’s a lot of reasons Kansas is a great place. We heard all of them tonight. The biggest reason Kansas is the best place is there’s no place in America their fans love their players like they do here in Lawrence, Kansas.”

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL COACH LARRY BROWN, SECOND FROM LEFT, DRAWS LAUGHTER FROM BILL SELF, LEFT, Roy Williams, Ted Owens and ESPN analyst Jay Bilas as he recounts stories about hassling game officials during a roundtable discussion at the end of the “Celebrating 60 Years” event Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

such as Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce and some of the great home games contested in his KU career, such as the game in which the Jayhawks erased a 19-point deficit against UCLA, a 15095 victory over Kentucky and a win that especially frustrated colorful Iowa State coach Johnny Orr. “I am thrilled to be here but also know it’s not about me,” Williams said. “It’s about this great building, this great program and great 60 years.

I’m thrilled to be here with Ted Owens, Larry Brown and Bill Self (who also gave 15- to 20-minute speeches). Bill, I appreciate the way you handled this and invited me back.

Fantastic, and I mean it,” Williams told Self.

Williams received a second standing ovation from the 7,500 fans in attendance at the conclusion of his talk.

“Thank you for let-

ting me be here tonight,” Williams said to the fans, his voice cracking as one fan screamed ‘Roy, Roy.’ “Thank you for being a great part of 15 wonderful years. I love you. I love this place. Go KU!” Williams concluded, wiping tears from his eyes as he returned to his seat.

In town for just a day and change, Williams had a walk down memory lane Sunday and Monday.

“I enjoyed going on top looking around campus,” Williams said of heading to the rooftop terrace of The Oread on Sunday night. “This morning, I sneaked around and drove around town a little bit, drove around campus,” added Williams, who admittedly got a kick out of seeing former players Eric Chenowith, Greg Gurley and Patrick Richey outside the hotel that hadn’t yet been built on the edge of campus during Williams’ KU years (1988-2003).

He didn’t become emotional, however, until heading over to the fieldhouse for an afternoon tour and media responsibilities.

“This afternoon, when

I came out in front of Wagnon (Student Athlete Center), C.B. McGrath (former KU player, current UNC assistant) let me out. I walked in the fieldhouse. I hadn’t been in the fieldhouse since the last practice before the Final Four in 2003,” he explained.

“It was a nice feeling, really nice feeling. For me, going in the fieldhouse always was a thrill.

It was a thrill going in there today. To be honest with you, I wish nobody else had been in there. I could have stood in there a little while and looked around,” Williams added.

Stepping through the northwest tunnel back into Allen on Monday afternoon is a moment Williams won’t soon forget.

“This is a special place.

I walked in that fieldhouse, and that was neat because I remember the first night I walked in there it was Late Night With Roy, pretty neat deal,” he said.

Williams is amazed at KU’s recent locker-room renovations and Booth Hall of Athletics.

“I was just blown away,” he said. “It’s so fantastic what they’ve done. When I was here for 15 years, we changed the locker room three times. We were still lightyears away from what they are now.”

“The amount of money and effort and the love people have for this program allows this kind of thing to be done. There’s some dollars (involved) when digging the dirt. I was looking out of Greg Gurley’s (Williams Fund office window), and it looked like a prison with all the (construction) fencing (outside of Allen for DeBruce Center). I think it’s sensational. Whether we like to admit it or not, there is a bit of an arms race out there. Kansas basketball deserves the best.”

Perhaps current coach Self put it best in his own speech, concerning Williams’ appearance in Lawrence the past couple of days.

“Twelve years is too long without visiting.

Get back here,” Self exclaimed to thunderous COMMEMORATIVE PIECES OF THE OLD ALLEN FIELDHOUSE FLOOR are laid out in preparation for the ceremony. applause.

FANS FILE THROUGH THE DOORS PAST THE STATUE OF PHOG ALLEN for Monday’s 60th anniversary celebration of Allen Fieldhouse.

Players flock back to fieldhouse ————

Chenowith, Thomas, McGrath, Hawkins join celebration

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Monday night’s 60 years of Allen Fieldhouse celebration might have been about a building that began with a $2 million budget in 1955 and still stands strong today, but, for several former Kansas University players who once called the venue home, it was as much about the men who made memories inside of it as anything.

With blue carpet and formal dining tables spread across the fieldhouse floor, four of the biggest names in the building’s history were cheered together, as former KU coaches Ted Owens, Larry Brown and Roy Williams, along with current KU coach Bill Self, were the guests of honor at the celebration.

“To get Bill Self, Larry Brown and Roy Williams in the same room at the same time is a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me,” said former KU center Eric Chenowith, who played at Kansas from 1998-2001 and also tipped his cap to Owens.

“I mean, who else can say they’ve done that?

“I came to KU because I loved Larry Brown, and, as a Los Angeles Clippers fan growing up, I loved his teams. I obviously played for coach Williams, and I’ve been lucky enough to develop a great relationship with coach

ROWS OF CHAIRS SIGNED BY ALL FOUR COACHES, Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self, are aligned prior to the celebration in the fieldhouse.

Self. Talk about catching lightning in a bottle.”

More than two dozen former Jayhawks from all four eras, along with all 16 current Jayhawks and several other KU coaches and administrators, joined 7,500 KU basketball diehards for the stroll down memory lane that included speeches from the coaches, more than a few laughs and rousing cheers in response to the highlight videos that played on the video board. But the former Jayhawks in attendance who played for Williams from 1989-2003 said seeing their old coach back in his old home was an

experience several years in the making.

“I know coach, and I know this is very emotional for him,” said former KU guard and Topeka native C.B. McGrath, now a member of Williams’ coaching staff at North Carolina. “The fans in Kansas City, when the NCAA Tournament was over there (2013), were very nice to him and gave him a great ovation. He needs that. He deserves that. It was time for him to come back. It’s something that needed to happen, and I’m glad it did, and I’m glad to be here for it.”

Former KU sharp-

shooter Billy Thomas, who played for Williams from 1995-98, shared McGrath’s sentiments.

“To see him come back, it means the world to me just to be present,” Thomas said. “He’s largely responsible for the man I’ve become. It goes that deep, and it goes way beyond basketball.”

Added Chenowith: “Every time I see coach, I still light up like I’m a high school sophomore getting recruited. It never gets old.”

Despite their obvious emotion and appreciation for Williams’ return, all of the former players in attendance made sure to

emphasize that the night was far bigger than a single man.

“This is not about Kansas, and it’s not about North Carolina,” Chenowith said. “It’s about Allen Fieldhouse. And what an incredible place.

No words can describe how special the KU basketball family truly is.”

Added former KU guard Jeff Hawkins, who played for Williams and Self from 2002-06: “I was blessed to be coached by two legends, and I’m just here to soak up as much knowledge as I can, just like I was at practice.

What an amazing night for Kansas basketball and for basketball in general.”

The former Jayhawks interviewed for this story shared their favorite

memories of playing in Allen Fieldhouse. From Thomas’ special moment with Williams after breaking KU’s career three-point-shooting record — “This corner,” Thomas said, gesturing to the southeast corner of the floor where he hit the shot — to Hawkins’ recollections of celebrating big victories and several similar memories from the coaches themselves, the big moments came rushing back.

But few were as telling as McGrath’s.

“The best news for me was we never lost a game here,” he said. “That just doesn’t happen. As a player, I never went into that locker room as a loss, so there are no bad memories.”
