Public access to Sports Pavilion courts to be limited Lagging revenue cited in city’s decision to change policy

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

Since it opened two years ago, revenue for Sports Pavilion Lawrence has not been meeting expectations. That shortfall is part of the reason public access to the facility’s courts will

now be restricted during some large tournaments. But some argue that those changes go against promises made by the previous City Commission that the pavilion would

operate as much as a community made to taxpayers. recreation center as a tourna“The premise was that there ment venue.

KU basketball shuttle no longer free Construction near fieldhouse spurs parking changes

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

A lot of University of Kansas men’s basketball fans are walking a little farther and paying a small fee to reach Allen Fieldhouse this season. Ongoing construction around the Fieldhouse and increasing demand for parking have prompted some changes to parking and shuttle service. Basketball fans would have seen the changes for the first time Tuesday night, the Jayhawks’ first home game of the year. The next home men’s basketball game is 7 p.m. Sunday against Emporia State University. For one, the shuttle bus from park-and-ride lots to Allen Fieldhouse is no longer free. This year it costs $3 round-trip per person to ride the bus, which picks people up from free parking in Lot 301,

budding business may cause Lawrence school board member Kris Adair to end her term on the board early, Adair has told me. Some of Adair’s comments also may spark some discussion about what Lawrence does or doesn’t do to keep budding technology companies. As we have reported, Adair and her husband, Joshua Montgomery, are founders of the artificial intelligence company Mycroft, which is working to create a device that allows consumers to do a variety of Adair tasks on the internet through voice-activated commands. As we reported in October, Mycroft won a $50,000 grant as part of the LaunchKC technology competition. As part of

that grant award, the company also received free office space in the Crossroads District in Kansas City, Mo. On top of that, the Kansas City-based technology website Startland recently has reported that Mycroft has opened an office in Silicon Valley, and “senior Mycroft leadership” will work out of that California office.

Pavilion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The new policy allows all eight basketball/volleyball courts to be used for large events or tournaments up to 20 days per year. The proposal also said that if a tournament closes down the courts at the pavilion, the city will ensure free play is available at the other recreation centers. City commissioners narrowly passed the proposal, with Mayor Mike Amyx and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden dissenting. The ability to increase the pavilion’s revenue was one of the reasons for making the policy change. Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department officials said that in addition to safety and logistical concerns created when there is free play while a tournament is underway, the change could help attract and retain large tournaments. “I don’t want to make this about money per se, because I honestly feel the quality of the experience is the more impor-

Glass CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Here’s an edited and condensed version of the Journal-World’s chat with Glass, who had plenty to say on storytelling, the state of journalism today and the runaway success of “Serial.” “This American Q: Life” celebrated its 20th anniversary last

year, so I wanted to talk a little bit about how it’s evolved over the years. When the show started out, there was more of a focus on human-interest, slice-of-life-stories that were maybe a little smaller in scale…. The way we think about it is applying the tools of journalism to stories that are so small that journalists wouldn’t bother with them. In recent years, “This American Life” has expanded to include what some might recognize as a more global perspective. For instance, in the past few months, you’ve produced a series of stories that explore life in refugee camps in Greece. Do these projects seem to have the same amount of traction with listeners? I mean, honestly, we don’t have empirical data. One of the things

A: Q:

Adair CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Adair certainly qualifies as senior leadership of the company, so that begged the question of whether she would be staying in Lawrence and completing her school board term, which expires at the end of 2017. Adair did confirm to me that her husband, Montgomery, is working in Silicon Valley full time. She said she could not yet say with any certainty whether she would move to California before the end of her term. “There have been no definite decisions made,” Adair said. “It really is going to depend on how things go for him.” Adair added that she hopes she’ll be able to finish out the term. “It has been something that has brought me a great amount of pleasure,” Adair said of serving on the school board. “I’m hoping that we will not have to move until my term is up.” The Silicon Valley office is primarily focusing on raising venture capital

L awrence J ournal -W orld to a Journal-World request for details of the pavilion’s 2016 costs and revenue estimates. Another solution would be charging a fee to those who use the facility. According to Laurent, the facility provides about 52 percent of all the indoor programs offered by the city and 37,000 residents have been issued key cards that provide access the workout facilities. City Manager Tom Markus told commissioners that a user fee, as well as other sources of revenue for the pavilion, such as concessions, naming rights and advertising, would be coming back to the commission for review. “Maybe for some of the users a nominal fee could be charged for the card that you have,” Markus said. “By anybody’s count, it’s an amazing facility, and while there is a cost, it’s pretty nice to get a pass as a resident for free and be able to use it in that fashion. But you do need to start thinking about longterm revenue streams.”

tant issue, but revenue is an issue,” said Tim Laurent, recreation operations manager. “We may be the only game in Lawrence, but we’re not the only game in the area.” Laurent said that as similar facilities are built in the area, competitiveness has increased. “This is business; I mean this a competitive field — something that we have learned so much about over the last two years that we didn’t know,” Laurent said. “So we’re actively trying to bring those tournaments in.” The 181,000 square-foot facility has eight basketball courts, which also double as 16 volleyball courts. Other facilities include an indoor turf area, gymnastics room, aerobic room, indoor walking track, cardio equipment, weight area and meeting rooms that can be rented by the public. Outside, there are also tennis courts and five miles of trails. Amyx was the only commissioner on the current body who held a seat when the pavilion project was approved, and was also the lone dissenting vote against it. Amyx said

always having a court open for free play was an important element of the pavilion’s function as a neighborhood center. “As somebody who gave that promise, I mean I have a hard time taking it back now,” Amyx said. “Even though I do know things have changed, and I know that you need it, I just have a hard time doing that just because a promise was made.” Others, though, said that the commission should not be held to the decisions made by the past commission when circumstances change, and that they had to face the reality that the pavilion needs to make more money. “We’re not going to unbuild Sports Pavilion Lawrence, right? Those costs are always going to be there,” Commissioner Matthew Herbert said. “…I’m not a big fan of paying for it constantly, so the solution becomes ‘find other people to pay for it for us,’ and therein lies the opportunity we have with these giant tournaments.” Commissioner Stuart Boley agreed that the costs needed to be cov-

ered, but stressed that he thought the proposal did not provide sufficient budget information regarding the pavilion’s operations. “We don’t have any information about costs,” Boley said. “We have information about revenue here, and we’ve had trouble getting information about what things cost, and that’s really frustrating.” The most recent budget information available for the pavilion is for 2015, but was not included in the proposal presented to the commission Tuesday. In 2015, revenue for the pavilion was about $400,000, according to the department’s master plan. That is $250,000 less than estimates provided to the public during the facility’s controversial approval process. That shortfall is despite the fact that the facility essentially hit its target for the number of tournaments per year, bringing in just one short of the 32 tournaments that former City Manager David Corliss estimated would be needed to make $650,000 in revenue. City staff did not immediately respond

that I would love is if people’s podcasting apps would send us back data and tell us, “Did you stop listening in the middle of the episode and never come back to it? Please tell us, what minute and second did you stop?” I mean, I know that the audience response has been really strong to the shows where we take on serious things. With the refugees one, I have to say, I would expect we would lose people, is the truth. And I feel like we did everything we could to make those shows as emotional and funny and as surprising as anything we do. But I think when you’re taking on a subject that people think they already know everything about — like the refugee crisis in Europe — I think on its face it’s a very hard thing to bring people along for. You remarked once that most of the time, you feel really afraid of getting things wrong, “like any reporter.” Do you think that’s a healthy attitude, to some extent, for journalists to work with, as far as always being aware of the consequences of what can happen if we get things wrong? Yes, I do. I mean, I feel like whether it’s healthy or not, it’s the attitude that I have. So, I’m deciding to think that it is healthy. And for me,

getting it wrong includes not just factual errors, but also (we want) to come up with something that’s exciting enough for people to want to engage with. You know, especially in the last two weeks, we’ve done all this stuff on the elections, and we feel like we’ve really, really gone as far out of our way as we can to try to invent material that’s different from anything anyone’s doing anywhere else. And so that includes commissioning songs (performed by) Neil Patrick Harris and (“Hamilton” star) Leslie Odom Jr., and also this incredible documentary story that Zoe Chace on our staff did in Minnesota about a town where the white people have become convinced that their Muslim neighbors are trying to impose Sharia law on them, against all evidence. So, for me getting it wrong includes that it’s just kind of OK, you know? I feel like if you’re doing a weekly show, things have to be really special. “Serial” has been hugely popular, and there’s been so much written over the past few years about how long-form journalism has become this endangered species, that people just don’t have the attention span for it anymore. Does the success of “Serial” say otherwise?

Yes. For me, I’ve You’ve held basiA: Q: always thought the cally every job idea that people don’t there is in public radio.

and establishing business relationships with Silicon Valley’s famed tech industry. So, Adair is rooting for those efforts to go well too, which may lead to a move before her term is up. “It all depends on how things go with Mycroft, and right now it is going better than we really anticipated.” Either way, Adair expects there will be more travel back and forth to California. Adair’s duties with Mycroft already have created some concerns about her ability to fulfill school board responsibilities. In March, then-school board president Vanessa Sanburn suggested Adair consider resigning from the board, unless she could start attending board meetings more regularly. That suggestion followed an announcement by Adair that she would be taking “a less active role” with the board through May, and after she had been absent from various board engagements, including the final stages of the board’s search for a new superintendent. Adair had said that her decreased level of attendance earlier in the year was related to a

90-day business accelerator program that she was participating in as part of her Mycroft duties. She told me this week her attendance at recent school board meetings has become more regular. So, we’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out as it relates to Adair’s school board term. What seems clear, though, is Mycroft’s presence in Lawrence is coming to an end, and Montgomery and Adair’s presence seems set to. Adair said that there are no plans to keep any part of the Mycroft operations in Lawrence. “There is nothing really for Mycroft in Lawrence anymore,” Adair said. “We are a high-tech startup and Kansas City, Mo. really has a tremendous startup program.” Adair continued: “We think Kansas City, Mo. is really focusing on the high tech sector that is going to be the future. Lawrence just seems to be focusing on smaller projects like apartments and hotels. That may be where a small community like this can focus.” But Adair made it clear she thinks Lawrence can do more on its economic

development front. She said the type of programs offered in Kansas City that have been helpful to Mycroft have included the LaunchKC grant program and free office space, a mentorship program at University of Missouri-Kansas City, and venture capital and other assistance from the quasi public-private Missouri Technology Corporation. “I think Lawrence focuses more on tax abatements for economic development and less on how spending in other ways could help the community,” Adair said. “I think it is just a difference of opinion on whether you think a tax incentive is going to bring in more economic development or a grant program is going to be more beneficial.” While Lawrence doesn’t have anything quite like the grant program being used in Kansas City, economic development leaders have made some major efforts to attract technology startups. The city, the county, the chamber, the university and the state have created partnerships to invest $20 million to build and then expand the Bioscience and Technology Incubator on

have attention spans is so demonstrably untrue. It’s so stupid. It’s so annoying. On the one hand, yes, we all are on our phones flipping back and forth between two websites and Twitter and Facebook — you do that, I do that, everybody does that. But at the same time, the most popular thing in the culture are these television series where it takes 27 hours to get through. And we all sit through them. Long-form has never been bigger. Long-form is doing great. So the success of “Serial” just shows that, yes, people will be interested in a long-form piece of reporting if it’s done in a way where it’s clear how to invest in the story. When (“Serial” host and executive producer) Sarah Koenig and her producer Julie Snyder were making the first season of “Serial,” one of the things Julie would say is, can you do a piece of investigative journalism that would have the power that those TV series that we all binge watch, have? Can you pull people in with the situation at the beginning, and people will come back week after week because they wanted to know what happens? And the answer is obviously yes, as “Serial” showed and some other shows have shown.

KU’s West Campus. It has had good luck in attracting both startup companies and well-established companies — like Garmin — who want to be on or near the KU campus. So, there probably will be some difference of opinion about whether Lawrence is doing enough in that regard, but certainly Adair isn’t the only one urging the community to think more creatively in the incentives it provides and the programs it offers. It is always a conversation worth keeping an ear open for. Adair also said two other changes are likely to occur as Mycroft moves its business out of Lawrence. Adair and Montgomery are founders of Wicked Broadband, which previously was known as Lawrence Freenet. Adair confirmed the company is seeking to sell the business, although no deal is imminent. The business provides broadband service primarily to apartment complexes, fraternity and sorority houses, businesses and some residential subscribers. Adair also said it was likely that she and Montgomery would shut down the Lawrence Center for

Entrepreneurship that they operate in office space near Ninth and Iowa streets. The center was designed to offer low-cost office space and maker space services to startups and small companies. Adair said the center has stopped taking new members for the space. As for Mycroft, it will be interesting to watch how that company develops. Its device is similar to devices offered by Amazon, Microsoft and others. It allows you to use voice commands and the internet to turn off lights at your home, start a coffee maker, search for answers online and a number of other tasks that are part of this new technology called the Internet-of-Things. So, Mycroft will face major competition in becoming a player in the space, but it has received some early funding, in part, because it uses an open-hardware and open-source system that allows software developers from around the world to build features that can be added onto Mycroft’s functionality. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

County supports 85 percent rebate for East Lawrence project By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

process within 90 days. Asked whether it was appropriate to require someone to provide such detailed personal information in a public meeting, Kobach indicated that was something he hadn’t thought about. “That begs the question, should this be closed to the press?” Kobach said. “The other thing I suppose we could have done is ... we could have closed that information off to you (reporters) and possibly have you step out while he verified that information.” Earlier this year, a combination of federal and state court rulings effectively invalidated the proof of citizenship law for people who registered using a federal mail-in form or who registered through a local motor vehicle office when renewing their driver’s license. Federal courts have said the state’s law conflicts with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. Initially, the federal court ruling only meant those voters could vote in federal races. But a state court judge in Topeka later said those voters must also be allowed to vote in state and local elections because there is no legal authority for keeping separate voter rolls for different classes of voters. Kobach is scheduled to hold a news conference today to announce the final voter registration totals and announce the expected voter turnout for the Nov. 8 elections.

Around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, a suspect — later identified through Douglas County Jail booking logs as 22-yearold Dakota Chase Petty — reportedly called police to tell them he had taken some drugs and was breaking into a

home in the 1300 block of Rhode Island Street. Shortly thereafter, the home’s owner called police to report that indeed someone

was trying to break in and he had the person detained, Rhoads said. While Petty allegedly worked to force his way into the home, the resident was able to hold the door closed, Rhoads said. The two continued to push the door back and forth until eventually officers arrived on the scene and arrested Petty, Rhoads said. Petty was booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of attempted aggravated burglary. l More crime news, 6B.

School board to meet in executive session for personnel matter The Lawrence school board will meet in an executive session at 6 p.m. Monday at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. The meeting, which is closed to the public, has been called to “discuss personnel matters of nonelected personnel,” according to a news release issued by the Lawrence

school district. Monday’s meeting marks the second executive session to take place at the district offices within the last two weeks. The first meeting, which preceded the school board’s regular meeting Oct. 24, was also held for the discussion of “personnel matters of nonelected personnel.” It is

not known, however, if the sessions are related. Julie Boyle, the district’s director of communications, said she did not expect any board action to follow the upcoming session, but declined to comment further on the matter. — Joanna Hlavacek

request at a reduced 50 percent rate. The Lawrence school board is to consider the request at its Nov. 14 meeting. The NRA allows property tax rebates on improvements made to blighted properties. Information shared with the county commission indicated that Williams Management would pay a total of $8,578 in property taxes from the improvements to the three local jurisdictions in year one of the 10-year rebate. That would grow to $11,141 by the rebate’s 10th and final year. in year one of the 10-year rebate. That would grow to $11,141 by the rebate’s 10th and final year. The big payoff would be in the years following the rebate’s sunset. The prop-

erty would produce an estimated $460,000 in tax revenue in years 11 through 15 with the proposed improvements, compared to $55,692 if left as is, a report to the commission showed. County commissioners decided the 85 percent rebate was justified giving the risk the developer was taking. Tom Jackson, an analyst with the National Development Council, told commissioners the rebate would allow the developer to realize an “acceptable” 9.85 percent return on investment. Commissioners also noted the rebate was comparable to the 95 percent, 10-year rebate awarded to the Cider Gallery and the 95 percent, 15-year abatement on the Poehler Lofts, two other projects in East Lawrence. They also made note of the public benefit of the two affordable housing units to be included in the development.

BRIEFLY County administrator Weinaug was wearing a helmet but did sustain hurt in bike accident a fracture, Plinsky said.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug is recovering in a Topeka hospital after a Wednesday morning bicycle accident. Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said Weinaug was injured when he lost control of his bicycle on County Weinaug Road 458 near Wakarusa Elementary School. Weinaug was taken by ambulance to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka, where he was expected to remain overnight, she said.

She did not know how long it would be before Weinaug returns to work.

No arrests made in reported sex crimes Three sex crimes were reported in the past week, including two on Halloween, police say, though, no arrests have been made in any of the cases. At 3:38 p.m. Monday police responded to the 1200 block of Delaware Street, where a sex crime involving a minor was reported, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. Another sex crime was reported Monday at 9:50 p.m. in the 1800 block of Naismith Drive, Rhoads

said. And a third was reported Thursday at 11:43 a.m. in the 300 block of Maine Street. Rhoads said no arrests have been made in either of the cases on Halloween, and the Lawrence Police Department incident number for Thursday’s report does not coincide with any recent arrests in the Douglas County Jail booking logs. In addition to the three reports within the past week, no arrests have

been made regarding a fourth sex crime report from Oct. 20, Rhoads said. On the afternoon of Oct. 20, Rhoads said, a sexual assault involving a minor was reported in the 1600 block of Haskell Avenue. Previously she said police are actively investigating the report. Rhoads would not provide additional details regarding the four reported sex crimes.

When white men are scared

EDITORIALS

Court use The city’s decision to allow all eight rec center courts to be used for major events was the right call.

he Lawrence City Commission was right to change the court use policy at Sports Pavilion Lawrence to allow up to 20 days per year when all eight courts are in use. The policy previously required that at least one court be available for free play during operating hours at the facility. Commissioners voted for the change Tuesday. Ultimately, keeping at least one basketball/volleyball court open to the public at all times bumped up against the needs of major events that the facility was designed to attract. In July, the city was criticized for not having courts open during the Hardwood Classic, a large basketball tournament that attracted about 300 youth basketball teams. That tournament generated about $2.5 million in direct business sales and $200,000 in local taxes. City staff recommended Tuesday’s change as a way to “secure and retain large tournaments/events.” Since opening in the fall of 2014, the pavilion has hosted more than 60 tournaments or events that generated more than $9.75 million in economic impact for the city. The city of Lawrence put about $22 million into the Sports Pavilion at Rock Chalk Park project. Advocates touted the public benefits of the facility, including the pavilion’s eight courts, practice fields, walking track, cardio equipment area and weight room. The designation of a court for free play was presented as one of the key community benefits. But the economic impact of major events is a fair tradeoff to having to close public access to the courts for about 5 percent of days each year. Now that the policy has been changed, much of its success will depend on Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department staff’s follow-through on commitments to minimize the impact of the court closings. Staff members said they would work to limit the number of hours free play is not offered and will ensure free play is available at other recreation centers when tournaments are ongoing. Staff also said they would open courts to free play as tournaments progress and the demand for courts lessens. Sports Pavilion Lawrence remains a great community asset, both as a public facility and as an economic engine that attracts thousands of out-of-town visitors for frequent sports tournaments. The city commission’s policy change on court usage was a good compromise to ensure both missions are accomplished.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 3, 1916: l “More than a hundred years tanned and square shouldered ago National Guardsmen were IN 1916 guests at the reception given in their honor at the Fraternal Aid Union building last night. They were served a banquet and were told how the town appreciates their creditable service on the [Mexican] border, at a program of speaking which followed. l “A straw vote of the students in the University of Kansas this morning during the convocation showed the popularity of Wilson among the student body. The women as well as the men gave Wilson a majority.” — Reprinted with permission from local writer Sarah St. John. To see more, go online to www. facebook.com/DailyLawrenceHistory.

It happened because a white man was scared. Chase Coleman was on a park road, probably lost and confused, having straggled far behind the pack — he’s a cross-country runner from Syracuse, N.Y. — when the white man got out of his car and shoved him. A witness said Chase flew back 10 feet and landed on his backside. Because that white man was scared. He had no reason to be. As described by witnesses in the Washington Post and on Syracuse.com, Chase is a gangly black kid, 15 years of age, who weighs about 130 pounds. The white man is said to be very tall and to weigh twice that. But that white man was scared. Fifty-seven-year-old Martin MacDonald told police he feared that Chase — on foot, unarmed, wearing a runner’s uniform with a number pinned to his chest — might mug MacDonald’s wife, who was in the car next to him. MacDonald was also incensed the boy did not respond to his commands to get out of the road. But Chase has autism and is nearly nonverbal. He doesn’t respond to much of anything.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

lpitts@miamiherald.com

How many times have black people bled because white men were scared?” Except running. He’s not very good at it, often finishes last. But his mom says being on his high school track team is one of the few ways he has ever been able to participate with others, to connect to the world beyond his unknowable thoughts. He loves running. Or did. Chase turned in his uniform after the Oct. 14 incident. His mother sought a warrant to arrest her son’s attacker on a charge of harassment, which carries a maximum 15-day sentence. In an act of breathtaking moral obtuseness, a judge in Rochester, where this hap-

pened, turned her down. In a victory for systemic bigotry, the judge is AfricanAmerican. On Monday, police said their investigation was ongoing. Which is all well and good. But try to picture some burly black man assaulting an autistic white boy. Try to conceive of authorities still hemming and hawing about it almost three weeks later. You can’t. Not even Stephen King has that much imagination. How many times have black people bled because white men were scared? Of retribution or uprising. Of robbery or rape. Of social equality and the loss of place and prerogative. Of blackness itself. Tamir Rice was shot and killed within two seconds because a white man was scared. Trayvon Martin was stalked and killed because a white man was scared. Levar Jones was shot while complying with a state trooper’s command because the trooper, a white man, was scared. White men’s fear has long been the story of black people’s lives and deaths. It is a story told in spec-

tacle lynchings and burning schoolhouses, in poll taxes and restrictive covenants. Someone will say violent crime statistics justify a white man’s fear. They don’t. To the contrary, they warn that if you are fated to be victimized, the attacker will probably look a lot like you. Someone else will say that not all white men are scared and that some actively fight against fear. This, of course, is true. But what does that matter to Chase? How do you explain any of this to an indrawn boy who had been used to adults being kind to him? How do you tell him that he terrifies some people just by standing in a road, lost? How do you make him understand what can happen when white men are scared? Consider that a man assaulted him, then justice betrayed him, and that our whole history suggests it could have been much worse. Then ask yourself: Who should be frightened of whom? — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Nov. 3, 1986, the IranContra affair came to light as Ash-Shiraa, a pro-Syrian Lebanese magazine, first broke the story of U.S. arms sales to Iran. l In 1839, the first Opium War between China and Britain broke out. l In 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co. was founded in Detroit by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. (The company was acquired by General Motors in 1918.) l In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won a landslide election victory over Republican challenger Alfred M. “Alf” Landon. l In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson soundly defeated Republican Barry Goldwater to win a White House term in his own right.

Candidates have troubling sense of entitlement While both sides were coping with the renewed focus on Hillary Clinton’s emails, two other weekend stories showed why so many Americans have a negative opinion of their two main choices for president. One was a story in The Journal News of New York’s Westchester suburbs reporting that local building department records revealed Bill and Hillary Clinton were renovating a house next to their Chappaqua home without obtaining several required local permits. The other was David Fahrenthold’s account in The Washington Post about Donald Trump’s pattern of giving misleading accounts of his charitable contributions, including instances of taking credit for donations he had not personally given and others in which he “claimed other people’s giving as his own.” There is a common thread in these two very different stories — and in other prominent aspects of their lives and careers. It’s a sense of entitlement, that normal rules don’t apply to them, either because of their prominence or their wealth. It’s evident in examples ranging from Clinton’s use of a private email server and her ties to the Clinton Foundation to Trump’s business dealings, sexual harassment of women and political approach. For Clinton, this attitude provides one explanation why she pushed ahead with the server that has become

Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com

her single greatest political albatross despite clear indications and warnings this was unusual and even improper, and why she stretched the guidelines she agreed to follow to ensure strict boundaries between her job as secretary of state and the family’s charitable foundation. For Trump, it arises politically in the way he made insulting, often racially divisive comments a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, rather than pursuing the normal generalelection practice of reaching out beyond his base, and in his refusal to commit himself to the traditional practice of pledging to accept the results, win or lose. A sense of entitlement also pervades Trump’s personal and business life. It’s evident both in such instances of personal misconduct as sexually harassing women because, as he said on the Access Hollywood tape, “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” and in his pattern of repeatedly suing contractors to avoid paying his bills and refusing to release his tax returns like previous nominees from both parties.

There is a difference in the degree of their improprieties. The evidence so far is that Clinton neither made any deliberate effort to break laws nor provided any tangible quid pro quos to foundation donors. On the other hand, Trump used questionable means of avoiding taxes and exceeded the norms of appropriate behavior toward at least a dozen women and in attacking a Mexican-American federal judge, questioning the motives of the Muslim American gold-star parents of a war hero and mocking a partially disabled reporter. Still, this long, unpleasant campaign has produced sufficient distaste for both that the victor will enter the White House without a president-elect’s normal level of respect. In its place will be extensive personal and political baggage that can only exacerbate the job’s normal challenges. Unfortunately, the problems stemming from Clinton’s email server may persist — whichever candidate wins. Trump has vowed that, if he wins, he will instruct his attorney general to name a special prosecutor to reinvestigate Clinton’s activities that the FBI has been probing for many months, including its own investigation. That could undercut Trump’s efforts to launch his presidency by focusing on an array of sweeping proposals to transform national policy.

If she wins, House Republicans vow to continue their own investigations, meaning that her nascent administration will be distracted from its priorities by having to spend valuable time and effort defending activities that occurred before she took office. Given all this, it’s hardly surprising many Americans are unenthusiastic about voting. But failure to do so would be unfortunate for two main reasons. One is that, despite the many negative aspects of both, Clinton is far more knowledgeable about public policy and far better prepared to perform the presidency. There is a reason virtually every single American newspaper, whether conservative or liberal, has rejected Trump and endorsed Clinton — and why so many prominent Republicans have refused to support their party’s nominee. Second, the two have significant policy differences. Not only would they make very different appointments to the Supreme Court and elsewhere, but they have diametrically opposite views of the best ways to achieve prosperity at home and greater stability in the world. The result will have a profound impact on governmental policies, even under the inevitable cloud each helped to create and with the gridlock the winner will inherit. — Carl P. Leubsdorf is a columnist for The Dallas Morning News.

“It’s so popular, but every year we have to have more and more buses,” she said. Unlike football games (to which shuttle buses are still free) the buses between the park and ride lot and Allen Fieldhouse can’t simply loop, Hultine said, because when basketball games let out, police divert traffic around the Fieldhouse so vehicles can get out but can’t get back in — and that includes buses. So there have to be enough shuttle buses at the ready to pick up everyone at the end of the game, she said. Construction in KU’s Central District is further complicating things, she said. Shuttle buses used to drive from West Campus down Irving Hill Road to Naismith Drive, dropping off riders right at Allen Fieldhouse Drive, she said. With Irving Hill Road closed for construction until next summer, buses have to take a different route and drop people off a couple blocks farther away, Hultine said. They come in on 19th Street, drive through the newly constructed Central District traffic circle — only buses are allowed through right now — and drop off at 18th Street and Naismith Drive. There is a more accessible option for fans who need it. A lift bus, also $3 per rider, picks up fans from lots 301 and 302 and delivers them to Lot 71, on the south side of the Fieldhouse.

Some Williams Fund contributors who have paid for parking passes along with their basketball tickets will find themselves walking farther due to construction, too, Hultine said. She said 267 fans with parking passes for designated lots have been relocated this season. Lots near Jayhawker Towers, Hilltop Child Development Center and the old

President Obama criticized what he called FBI “leaks” in his first direct remarks on Director James Comey’s decision to notify Congress of the status of an investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don’t operate on innuendo, we don’t operate on incomplete information, we don’t operate on leaks,” Obama said. Obama’s remarks were surprising, given the White House’s previous position of neutrality in the politically charged issue. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that he would neither defend nor criticize the director’s decision. “I Obama wouldn’t couched his remarks in gener- be alities, saying supporthe was “setting ing her if aside the parI didn’t ticulars of this have case.” “I’ve made a absolute very deliberate confieffort to make dence sure that I don’t look like in her I’m meddling in integrity.” what are sup- President Obama posed to be in- of Hillary Clinton dependent processes for making these assessments,” he said. Still, his remarks came in an interview with Now This News, a mobile-only news app in which he gave a full-throated endorsement of Clinton’s candidacy. “Obviously it’s become a political controversy. ... Hillary Clinton, having been in the arena for 30 years, oftentimes gets knocked around, and people say crazy stuff about her, and when she makes a mistake, an honest mistake, it gets blown up as if it’s some crazy thing,” Obama said. “So I understand why if you’re voting for the first time, or even the second time, all that noise coming at you, you think, there’s something I need to be concerned about. “I trust her.

DES MOINES The suspect captured in connection with the early-morning “ambush-style” killings of two police officers in the Des Moines area Wednesday was removed by police from a high school football stadium two weeks ago after he claimed his Confederate flag was stolen by other spectators, authorities said. Police said it appeared both officers were taken by surprise in the Wednesday shootings and had no opportunity to defend themselves. One of the killings took place near the stadium where the mid-October confrontation took place between police and the 46year-old suspect, identified as Scott Michael Greene. Both officers were gunned down in their patrol cars. In the initial shooting, Urbandale Police Chief Ross McCarty said it appears that Greene fired 15 to 30 shots into the driver’s side of a patrol car, killing Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin. “The puzzling thing about this is that (Officer Martin) didn’t have any idea or warning or fear

But the former New Mexico governor’s star seems to be fading. September polls that showed him hovering above 9% now have him around half that level.

an city at the heart of a humanitarian crisis, didn’t help. Neither did his failure to draw the necessary 15% support in the polls that would have earned him a spot on the debate stage. And his running mate, former Republican Massachusetts governor William Weld, has all but come out for Clinton recently. “I’m here vouching for Mrs. Clinton,” Weld told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night. “I think it’s high time somebody did.” Johnson’s struggle to draw voters is common among “protest

candidates,” said Andy Smith, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire. “As you get closer to the election, support for those candidates drops because the pull of partisanship is stronger.” “People are afraid to vote for a real candidate for change,” said Steven Nekhaila, 22, a Johnson campaign organizer in Key West. Said Sarah Langley, a student at the University of South Florida: “One thing they keep saying is it’s not the year for a protest vote. I just think: ‘Then when will be the year?’ ”

Justice No timetable set for FBI review official tipped off Clinton campaign v CONTINUED FROM 1B

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A Justice Department official offered Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta a “heads-up” last year to a pending congressional hearing where a Justice colleague was likely to be questioned about Hillary Clinton’s email use as secretary of State, according to hacked communications released Wednesday by WikiLeaks. In the exchange, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik, writing on a personal email account, appears to alert Podesta to a House Judiciary Committee hearing later AP that day where John Podesta the Justice Department’s Civil Division chief was slated to testify. “Likely to get questions on State Department emails,” Kadzik wrote May 19. The message goes on to inform Podesta of an update in a Freedom of Information Act request for State Department communications that “indicates it will be awhile (2016) before the State Department posts the emails.” Attached to the Kadzik communication was a message that appears to be forwarded by Podesta to various Clinton staffers, stating: “Additional chances for mischief.” Kadzik also was the author of a letter earlier this week providing the Justice Department’s response to questions posed by House and Senate leaders about the FBI’s new review of recently discovered emails that could have a bearing on the previously closed investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information at the State Department. “We assure you that the department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” Kadzik wrote. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had opposed FBI Director James Comey’s decision last week to formally notify Congress of the email discovery, a move that rocked the presidential race in the last days of the general election.

Despite a stance of neutrality, President Obama, in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Wednesday, spoke out about FBI developments. work-related documents,” Dunn said, referring to the FBI’s initial email inquiry. Comey’s vaguely worded notification to congressional leaders about the findings also unleashed a torrent of criticism leveled at the director who took the action over the objection of Attorney General Loretta Lynch and in a departure from Justice policy, which cautions prosecutors and

investigators from taking actions in close proximity to an election that could be viewed as interfering in the voting process. “When this was investigated thoroughly the last time,” Obama said, referring to Comey’s July decision not to recommend criminal charges into Clinton’s handling of classified information, “the conclusion of the FBI, the conclusion of the Justice Depart-

Bullet holes pepper the side of a squad car at the scene of what was described as an “ambushstyle” shooting. The suspect allegedly fired 15 to 30 shots into one patrol car in the first attack.

rural road in Redfield. According to police, Greene flagged down a passing Department of Natural Resources officer, handed over his ID and told the officer to call police. No shots were fired, and there was no struggle. Greene was taken by ambulance to a Des Moines hospital after complaining about a medicine-related issue. Court records indicate Greene had previous encounters with Urbandale police officers. In the Oct. 14 confrontation, Greene was removed from Urbandale High School’s football stadium after he claimed other spectators stole his Confederate flag, authorities said. He apparently posted two videos related to the incident on YouTube. In one, Greene, who is white, says he was in the stands, holding a Confederate flag during the national anthem, and that several “African-American” people behind him stole it. Throughout the video, he tells officers he wants to report an assault and a theft. Officers tell him that people said he was a disturbance. “It was almost like a mugging. I had my property, and I was holding it and they stole it from me,” he says in the video. Greene also is seen confronting officers, questioning why he was being asked to leave the school’s property. Officers tell him that holding a Confederate flag violates a school district code. A different 10-second video by Greene, uploaded Oct. 21, shows an image of himself with Confederate and U.S. flags. The fatal shootings Wednesday began around 1:06 a.m., when police departments from both cities responded to reports of gunfire. “It doesn’t look like there was any interaction between these officers and whoever the coward is that shot them while they sat in their cars,” Des Moines police spokesman Sgt. Paul Parizek said in an emotional briefing with reporters. “In all appearances it looks ... that these officers were ambushed,” he added. In Washington, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch condemned the killings, saying “vio-

lence has no place in the United States of America.’’ “Let me be clear, there is no message in murder,’’ the attorney general said, referring to simmering distrust between law enforcement and many communities across the country. “Violence creates nothing; it only destroys.’’ Within hours, police identified Greene as a suspect, releasing his photographs along with information about the truck he was believed to be driving. Officials, however, were tight-lipped on how they singled him out early on as the suspect. Greene had earlier run-ins with police before the stadium incident. In April 2014, according to court records, he was charged with a simple misdemeanor count of interference with official acts for resisting an attempt by officers to pat him down for weapons at an Urbandale resi-

dence. The officers wanted to search Greene after noticing he had a pouch on his belt that resembled a holster. Greene was “noncompliant, hostile, combative and made furtive movements toward his pockets” before the arrest, Officer Chris Greenfield wrote in the complaint. Greene pleaded guilty to the charge about two weeks later. The complaint does not indicate why officers initially came into contact with Greene. But two days later he reportedly threatened to kill a man in the parking lot of the same apartment complex and was charged with firstdegree harassment, according to another complaint. In that incident, Greene was accused of approaching a man in the parking lot and shining a flashlight in his eyes. Greene, who lived in the apartments, called the man the N-word and told the man “I will kill you, (expletive) kill you,” according to the complaint. Greene pleaded guilty to a

lesser harassment charge on June 30, 2014, and was sentenced to one year probation. In a discharge report filed in June 2015, a probation officer wrote Greene received a mental health evaluation and “reports to have complied with the medication recommendations.” Wednesday’s fatal shootings marked the first time a Des Moines has been shot and killed in the line of duty since two officers were gunned down in separate incidents in 1977. Two Des Moines officers, Susan Farrell and Carlos Puente-Morales, died earlier this year when their vehicle was struck head-on by a wrong-way drunken driver. The killing of the Urbandale officer appeared to be the city’s first for an officer shot in the line of duty, officials said. Parizek thanked the community for its support when the department lost Farrell and Puente-Morales, as well as with the latest tragedy. “I don’t even know where to begin on how bad this year is,” he said. But, “this is what we do. We come in day in and day out, we go out there and provide the same level of service regardless of what’s going on in our personal and professional lives.” In a statement, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad called the attack on the officers “an attack on the public safety of all Iowans.” “We call on Iowans to support our law enforcement officials in bringing this suspect to justice,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the police officers who were tragically killed in the line of duty as well as the officers who continue to put themselves in harm’s way.” Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst extended her thoughts and prayers to the families of the officers killed. “Although the investigation is still unfolding, what appears to be an ambush attack of police in the line of duty is an attack on the community at large and all of the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect us,” Ernst said. “This was a senseless act of violence and it cannot be tolerated.” Finney and Haley report for The Des Moines Register. Stanglin reports for USA TODAY in McLean, Va.

The ambush-style killings of two police officers in the Des Moines area add to a deadly increase in a disturbing trend for law enforcement nationwide: The number of police officers gunned down has risen 167% this year, a law enforcement group says. It ties for the deadliest year for such attacks, matching 2014’s 16 ambush-style killings. In all, there have now been 40 officers shot and killed in ambushes since 2014, said Steve Groeninger, spokesperson for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which tracks police fatalities. Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin and Des Moines police Sgt. Anthony “Tony” Beminio are the latest fatalities. Both were gunned down separately in their

WikiLeaks shows ‘heads-up’ over House hearing on email

that it was reviewing newly discovered emails — more than 600,000 communications linked to longtime top Clinton aide Huma Abedin — rocked a campaign that appeared to be on the verge of sealing a victory over Republican nominee Donald Trump. The emails were found in the midst of a separate inquiry into Abedin’s estranged husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat from New York, whose sexually charged communications with a 15-year-old girl have drawn the scrutiny of both federal and state authorities. Karen Dunn, Abedin’s attorney, said that her client first learned of the FBI’s email discovery from media reports and “the possibility that a laptop belonging to Mr. Weiner could contain emails of hers.” “From the beginning, Ms. Abedin has complied fully and voluntarily with State Department and law enforcement requests, including sitting for hours-long interviews and providing her work-related and potentially

ment, the conclusion of repeated congressional investigations was that she had made some mistakes. But there wasn’t anything there that was prosecutable.” No timetable has been set for the completion of the new FBI review, though officials have not foreclosed the possibility it could be done before Election Day. White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said Wednesday aboard Air Force One en route to North Carolina that Obama’s remarks on the FBI investigation did not reflect any change in the White House position that it would neither defend nor criticize Comey. Obama, Schultz said, “went out of his way to say he wasn’t going to comment on any specific investigation. We do take seriously the long-standing norms and customs” that historically limit what law enforcement can say about a pending investigation — norms designed to limit “speculation — and yes, innuendo.” “These customs shouldn’t apply only if someone is famous, or if there’s an election around the corner,” he said.

patrol cars while responding to reports of gunfire early Wednesday. A total of 115 officers have been killed in the line of duty in 2016, a 15% increase over last year. Additionally, 52 of those officers were killed by gunfire, a 58% increase, the Washington, D.C.-based notfor-profit group reported. Overall, more officers have been shot and killed so far this year than during any full year since 2011, according to the fund. “All of these tragedies remind us in very stark terms that America’s law enforcement professionals are facing clear and growing dangers on our behalf. And, when our police officers are at risk, we are all at risk,” Groeninger said. An ambush is defined as an attack that takes place by surprise or from a concealed position. On average, one officer is killed in the line of duty in the U.S. every 61 hours and more than 20,000 police officers have died in the line of duty since the first known line-of-duty death in 1791, the law enforcement group said.

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

The Federal Reserve didn’t come out and say it, but it sent a strong hint that the long-awaited first interest rate hike of 2016 is still on track for the Fed’s December meeting, its final get-together of the year. In its statement, the Fed stayed on message, saying the labor market continued to “strengthen,” growth has “picked up” and inflation has “increased somewhat.” That upbeat assessment of economic indicators, the central bank added, “continued to strengthen” the case for a rate hike. The Fed’s message was heard loud and clear by Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Cornerstone Wealth. “The probabili-

Interest rates stay put, but door open for December hike Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve held its key interest rate steady Wednesday and left the door open to a December rate hike amid an improving economy. In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed said it decided to keep its federal funds rate at a historically low 0.4%. The Fed said “the case for a rate increase strengthened,” but policymakers decided, “for the time being, to wait for some furWASHINGTON

ther evidence of continued progress toward its objectives.” That largely mirrored the September statement, except the Fed added that only “some” advances are needed, suggesting a rate hike may be at hand. The statement added that “inflation has increased somewhat since earlier this year” and removed its previous assertion that “inflation is expected to remain low in the near term.” The Fed’s preferred measure of annual inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, is still below its 2% annual target, but it has edged up steadily this

year, reaching 1.7% recently. That could pave the way for a rate hike as soon as December. Stocks, already on pace for a seventh day of losses, fell further after the statement but shortly began staging a recovery. Some economists said the Fed was unlikely to send an explicit signal of a December rate in-

crease similar to a reference in October 2015 to a possible hike at the “next meeting.” With markets already pricing in an increase anyway, Fed officials would prefer not to close off their options, economists said. “Absent substantial shocks, they’re set on December,” says UBS economist Drew Matus. Among potential shocks are a contested presidential election next week or a victory by Republican Donald Trump that roils markets, economist Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics says. After Wednesday’s statement was released, fed fund futures

reckoned there was a 72% chance the Fed will lift its benchmark rate at a Dec. 13-14 meeting, up from 68% a day earlier. It was unlikely the Fed would act just days before the election, potentially disrupting markets and coloring perceptions of the economy and presidential candidates Trump and Hillary Clinton. The Fed has stood pat since raising its federal funds rate in December for the first time in nine years, citing factors such as China’s economic slowdown, the United Kingdom’s Brexit vote, volatile markets and a spring slump in U.S. job growth.

Netflix’s new series is latest to tap into that royal obsession Maria Puente @usatmpuente USA TODAY

Farewell Downton Abbey. Welcome, The Crown. The British upstairs-downstairs soap opera has disappeared into the mists of time. Now comes Netflix’s glittery The Crown to fill up the bottomless reservoir of fascination with the British royal Windsors. Queen Elizabeth II — the oldest (90) and longest-serving monarch (64 years and counting) in British history — is the focus of Netflix’s The Crown, due Friday. Unlike Downton, The Crown is a (mostly) true story about real people, some of them still very much alive, and possibly fretting: What could writer/producer Peter Morgan (The Queen) be up to in his latest compelling dramatization of the Windsor story? “You can never tell how it goes down” at the palace, Morgan says. “I’m sure there are a lot of things the royal family prefer me not to write about. But when you give people the option to tell their version of their own life, you often end up with a bland, Photoshopped version of reality.” Not so in The Crown. Netflix has reportedly spent more than $100 million on the series, and it shows. The clothes, the jewels, the palaces, horses and fine art; even the poisonous London fog and the dreary, shabby look of the

Morgan mostly gets the history right. Sally Bedell Smith, acclaimed biographer of the queen, says nitpickers should get over it. “Peter wants to get all the contextual details just right, visual as well as factual, and then he applies his creative imagination,” Smith says. “As sheer drama ... it’s a cut above Downton Abbey, but it’s going to scratch the itch that people have after that ended.” Part royal romance, part primer on the British constitution, The Crown is as much about the delicate minuet between monarch and prime minister as it is about the cheers and tears of royal life.

(Claire Foy) from her marriage to dashing Prince Philip (Matt Smith) in 1947 to the death of her beloved father, George VI (Jared Harris), her accession in 1952, her coronation in 1953 and the constitutional and emotional crisis in which she stops younger sister Princess Margaret’s marriage to a divorced man in 1955. For the mostly British cast, The Crown has been a learning experience. Foy, Smith and Harris say they gained new respect and affection for the royals. The earnest and dutiful queen buckles down to the new job thrust upon her earlier than expected, painfully aware of the inadequacies of her education and determined, like her father, to do her best at playing the role of symbol of a 1,000-year-old monarchy. “It’s a charged time for her, coming to the throne and becoming the head of state is a unique, odd kind experience ... especially as she’s still grieving for her father,” Foy says. The Crown’s queen catches on quickly to her new role, recognizing the machinations of both palace courtiers and government ministers such as crafty Winston Churchill (John Lithgow), who’s fading physically but fighting to hold on to power. More than six decades later, she has outlasted 12 prime ministers and is more popular than ever. Says Morgan: “I can’t think of a situation where someone who has been head of state for more than 60 years has an approval rating higher than when she came to the throne.”

Negga and Edgerton shine in drama about interracial marriage The cars, clothing and political climate are from another era in the period film Loving, but its themes couldn’t be MOVIE timelier. REVIEW Writer/director BRIAN Jeff Nichols takes TRUITT moviegoers back to the 1950s and ’60s for Richard and Mildred Loving’s true-life love story, which resulted in the 1967 Supreme Court ruling that eliminated laws prohibiting interracial marriage. While Loving (eeeE out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters Friday in New York and Los Angeles; expands nationwide throughout November) is for the most part a no-frills, almost sedate affair, the drama finds its real power in two strong lead performances. Set in Caroline County, Va., at a time when whites and blacks were mostly segregated and racism wasn’t subtle, Richard (Joel Edgerton) is a taciturn Caucasian bricklayer very much in love with hot rods and his girlfriend, Mildred (Ruth Negga), a young African-American woman. She gets pregnant, he’s excited by the

FOCUS FEATURES

Richard (Joel Edgerton) and Mildred (Ruth Negga) are forced to defend their love from racism in society and the law. news, and they head up to Washington to wed. But what’s legal in D.C. isn’t in Virginia, and many in town don’t approve of the relationship — especially the cops, who arrest the Lovings. That begins a long bout of legal trouble that forces the couple to leave their families behind, and Mildred’s letter to Bobby Kennedy gets the American Civil Liberties Union involved. Negga, a breakout from AMC’s Preacher, is an instant awards

contender. As Mildred, she fuels much of the film’s emotion, sitting in jail pregnant, dealing with relatives divided on whether her love is worth being in quasi-exile, and needing to return to farm life for the good of her kids. Negga gives her vulnerability but also strength of heart. Edgerton is more minimalist, since Richard is a man of few words who would rather avoid the spotlight as their case makes national news. The Australian ac-

tor’s performance in Black Mass put him on a lot of people’s radar last year, and he’s fantastic here, using a workmanlike manner to express Richard’s undying love for Mildred, as well as his guilt that their relationship has caused her so much hardship. Nick Kroll, best known as a comedian, lends slick style and skill as ACLU-appointed lawyer Bernie Cohen, an ambitious guy with a lack of constitutional knowhow. And Nichols regular Michael Shannon gets a cameo as Life magazine shooter Grey Villet, whose photographs helped the Lovings go mainstream. The performances aren’t overly showy, nor is the movie on the whole. When Mildred tells her husband “We may lose the small battles but win the big war,” it’s not so much a passionate statement as a reserved call to arms. And when Richard says to her “I can take care of you,” the simplicity is heartfelt. With same-sex partners still fighting for marriage equality, the Lovings’ struggle remains as relevant to American culture as it was 50 years ago. The real artistry of Loving, though, is in the quiet grace Negga and Edgerton bring to one of recent history’s most important romances.

Dear Annie: My friend “Mary” was dating “Lance.” Behind her back, our mutual friend “Sarah” started a physical relationship with Lance while he was still in a relationship with Mary. Now Mary and Lance have broken up, and Lance has another girlfriend. He is still hooking up with Sarah, behind the other girlfriend’s back. Sarah wants to make a go of it with Lance. He has told her that he’ll leave the other girlfriend for her. Here’s my question: I am trying to persuade Sarah to tell Mary what’s up and ask Mary whether she is OK with her dating Lance. Otherwise, she’ll find out through the grapevine. Sarah keeps saying she will talk to Mary, but she hasn’t yet. I feel as if I’m in the middle of this ugly, cheat-

Or if she didn’t find out about the cheating and she just heard about Lance’s “new” relationship with Sarah, she’d be hurt I knew about it and said nothing. Do I have any responsibility as a friend here, to either Mary or Sarah? — Head Spinning in North Carolina

‘Pitch’ may need to up its game The best new series on a wobbly Thursday night, even “Pitch” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) may need to up its game. This melodrama clearly aspires to become the “West Wing” of baseball. As on that White House drama, half of the scenes seem to be of the “walking and talking” variety, with characters exchanging arch, occasionally cute, and mostly highminded dialogue as they walk to and from their cars or their lockers. The freshman series dipped all too predictably into flashback mode to explain Ginny’s (Kylie Bunbury) problems with friendship and intimacy. And, not to give too much away, it revived the show’s “Angels in the Outfield” tear-jerking gimmick, arguably the weakest aspect of this enjoyable series. One also has to wonder why Ginny’s flashbacks had to include scenes of her bingewatching “In Living Color.” Was that all merely a plug for Fox’s other new series, “Lethal Weapon,” starring Damon Wayans from “In Living Color”? Despite these quibbles, “Pitch” has emerged as one of the few grown-up shows of the new network season, a drama without a whiff of comic book superheroes and devoid of gruesome violence. It’s also notable that for a show set largely in a locker room, it’s pretty free of vulgar language and attitudes. For all of those reasons, this critic hopes that the end of the real baseball season does not spell an early exit for this major league entertainment. It towers above other Thursday night freshmen efforts, including “The Great Indoors,” “The Good Place,” “Notorious” and “Pure Genius.” Tonight’s other highlights O Amy fibs on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

Justice Matters hears county candidates’ views at forum By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

At a Wednesday forum, faith group Justice Matters heard the four Douglas County Commission candidates’ views on the issues of the Douglas County Jail, the proposed mental crisis intervention center and the linkage of the two facilities. Sharing the stage at Abe & Jake’s Landing were 2nd District independent Jesse Brinson Jr.; his opponent, incumbent Democrat Nancy Thellman; and 3rd District candidates Democrat Bassem Chahine and Republican Michelle Derusseau. Thellman said she supported the County Com-

mission’s past decision to expand the jail and build the mental health crisis center. Even if the crisis center were built, there would still be people with mental illness whose offenses required their incarceration. They would need to be housed in a therapeutic and humane environment, she said. As they reviewed overcrowding at the jail, commissioners recognized the need for the crisis center, Thellman said. Current commissioners agreed the jail expansion and crisis center could be pursued at the same time and that a case could be made to voters for funding both. When asked to clarify her position on whether the

projects should be presented on the ballot together, she remained steadfast that as a candidate she could not commit to decisions that would be made by the commission as a whole. By contrast, Brinson, her opponent in the 2nd District race, said he favored the County Commission separating the jail and the crisis center and moving ahead with the latter. He did add that it was important to ensure that the center opened with effective programs and adequate staffing. Brinson said the jail expansion should wait until the county has thoroughly studied all alternatives to incarceration. The county should invest

in inmate diversion programs and programs that reach at-risk populations first, he said. Chahine said he supported the jail expansion and the crisis intervention center, but said county voters should have the chance to consider their funding on separate ballot questions. The county should open a crisis center as soon as possible, he said. Chahine said the review of alternatives to incarceration could move forward in concert with jail renovations. After a tour of the jail, he was convinced there was a need to address “heartbreaking” problems of overcrowding. “I was so moved,” he said. “The problem needs

to be fixed right now.” His 3rd District opponent Republican Michelle Derusseau declined to take positions on the jail expansion, the crisis intervention center or the linkage of the two on a ballot question. As a commissioner, she would make reasoned decisions based on facts and research, she said. The work of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council could cause the County Commission to reconsider its past conclusions on jail expansion, Derusseau said. She also voiced support for the county’s ongoing jail diversion effort through such programs as the Behavior Health Court and home arrest electronic monitoring.

2nd District County Commission hopefuls still well funded By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Both candidates for the 2nd District Douglas County Commission’s seat entered the campaign’s homestretch with plentiful cash on hand for a final push. In campaign finance reports posted Monday on the Douglas County Clerk’s Office web site, incumbent Democrat Nancy Thellman reports as of Oct. 27 her campaign had $6,439 cash on hand from the $13,198 raised since July 22. Thellman said a final large mailer would consume her remaining cash. Her opponent, Jesse Brinson Jr., reports $2,374 available from the $7,781 raised since July 22. Brinson entered the race in July after collecting the required number of signatures to qualify as an independent. However,

Derusseau outraises 3rd District opponent Chahine one of the donations listed on his report is a $250 contribution from the Douglas County Republican Central Committee. In the 3rd District, Republican Michelle Derusseau raised more than four times the amount of her Democratic opponent Bassem Chahine. Derusseau started her general election campaign with $1,159 on hand from the cash she raised for her Republican primary race against Jim Denney. She raised another $6,995 before the Oct. 27 reporting date and spent all but $79.43 of her campaign war chest. Included in that total was $710 in loans Derusseau or her husband, Ron Derusseau, made to her campaign, which were later repaid.

Derusseau received a $500 donation from the Lawrence Professional Firefighters Political Action Committee. Individuals contributing $500 to her campaign include area CEO Harry Herington and his wife, Cindy Herington, Kansas University benefactors Dana and Sue Anderson and local McDonald’s franchisees Tom Dobski and Marilyn Dobski, of Lawrence. In contrast, Chahine raised $1,500 in the three-month span and spent just $580 of that total. He received another $743 in inkind contributions. Chahine was the largest donor to his campaign with $750 in donations. The only contributor to donate $200 or more for Chahine’s campaign was Law-

rence attorney James Rumsey. Thellman received $500 donations from the Topeka law firm of Fincher, Muson and Sinclair and Wil and Pete’s LLC of Lawrence. George and Bev Wilson of Lawrence also donated $500 to her campaign. Thellman and her husband, Scott Thellman, contributed $1,200 to her campaign. Brinson’s first large donor was Richard Lorenzo, president of Called to Greatness Ministries for which Brinson is a youth minister. Also contributing $500 donations were both Joseph Harvey, a dentist from rural Baldwin City, his wife, and Lawrence residents Mary Harvey, Sarah Rooney and the Rev. John McDermott of Morning Star Church in Lawrence.

Legislative challengers draw sizable financial support By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — New campaign finance reports this week show that some local legislative races may be more competitive than they have been in the recent past, although incumbents still hold a sizable fundraising advantage. The most competitive local race, however, will likely be the 42nd District House race, which is an open contest this year after incumbent Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, was defeated in the Republican primary in August. The general election race now features Republican Jim Karleskint, a retired school superintendent who unseated O’Brien, against Democrat Kara Reed, a teacher and Tonganoxie city councilwoman. During the primary, Karleskint raised nearly $6,500 and spent about $4,400 of that to defeat O’Brien, leaving him with

only about $2,000 heading into the general election. That gave Reed, who had no primary race, a head start in the general election because she had alrady raised more than $12,000. Since then, Reed has outspent Karleskint, $18,084 to $13,540. Reed received most of her money from individuals and labor unions, her report shows, while Karleskint’s donations have come largely from businesses and political action committees. In the 45th District House race in western Douglas County, Democrat Terry Manies of Lecompton raised a little more than 10,000 and spent nearly $11,500 in her challenge to unseat longtime Republican incumbent Rep. Tom Sloan of Lawrence. But Sloan had a considerable war chest of more than $51,000 heading into the election and has spent a little more than $19,000 to hold on to his seat.

Manies received the bulk of her donations from individuals, including several from California and other states. Sloan received most of his donations from political action committees, businesses and individuals. The 44th District House race in Lawrence is not competitive. Rep. Barbara Ballard, a Democrat seeking her 13th term in the Legislature, faces only nominal opposition from Republican Michael Lindsey, who is not actively raising money or campaigning. Ballard still raised about $16,700 during the general election cycle, spent a little more than $7,000, mainly on newspaper ads and mailings, and will end the campaign with a little more than $25,000 in her account. In area Senate races, 2nd District Sen. Marci Francisco, a Democrat, had a sizable fundraising lead over her GOP challenger Meredith Richey, but Richey’s fundraising was not inconsiderable.

Francisco entered the cycle with more than $45,000 on hand, raised an additional $27,000 and spent a little more than $31,000. Her contributions came from a mix of individuals, businesses and political action committees. Richey came into the general election cycle with more than $10,000 on hand, raised an additional $15,000 and spent about $21,000. Her contributions came mainly from individuals but they also included political action committees representing bankers and the Kansas Chamber. In the 3rd District Senate race, Democratic incumbent Tom Holland of Baldwin City and his Republican challenger Echo Van Meteren of Linwood reported very similar numbers, on paper at least. Holland had nearly $94,000 in cash on hand at the start of the general election cycle. He raised another $58,000 and spent $97,000. But $50,000 of

that spending went to repay a loan he made to his own campaign earlier in the year, which means he spent about $47,000 in direct campaign expenses. Meanwhile, Van Meteren has raised more than $41,000 since August, but that included a $25,000 loan from her husband, GOP strategist Kris Van Meteren. She spent about $41,000 in campaign expenses.

BRIEFLY Human trafficking case dropped A Lawrence woman accused of acting as a runaway girl’s pimp will be released from jail and the felony criminal charges filed against her will be dropped, a judge ruled Wednesday. Jakaynah Maylene Burtzloff, 18, was arrested on Aug. 10 and faced two felony counts of aggravated human trafficking. On Wednesday Burtzloff appeared in Douglas County District Court, where prosecutor Mark Simpson requested to drop the case against her. The hearing on Wednesday was meant for Judge Peggy Kittel to weigh the evidence against Burtzloff; however, Simpson said the alleged victim could not be contacted. As such, the case could not move forward. Kittel granted Simpson’s request to drop the case and briefly spoke to Burtzloff, explaining the situation. No criminal charges have been filed against Burtzloff in Douglas County since her arrest in August. However, Kittel said, if prosecutors are able to contact the case’s alleged victim, Burtzloff may face felony charges once more.

Final robbery suspect arrested The third and final man suspected of invading a North Lawrence home on Oct. 19 and robbing the residents at gunpoint has been arrested, police say. Mike Logan, 21, was booked into the Douglas County Jail Wednesday on suspicion of aggravated robbery, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said in a news release. The other two suspects — Antonio Esparza, 20, and Joshua Fairbanks, 21 — were arrested in late October. Previously, Rhoads said officers responded to a home in the 700 block of Ash Street for a reported robbery around 2 a.m. on Oct. 19. The three men had entered the home, brandishing a firearm, and demanded money from the residents, Rhoads said. The group fought and one of the suspects was injured during the struggle. All three suspects fled the scene. Logan is listed as a Lawrence resident in the Douglas County Jail booking logs. He is currently being held without bond.

LHS coach Dirk Wedd approaches 100th win By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd joked that it’s hard enough to remember what he ate for breakfast, let alone details from every specific game in his coaching career. But his next victory will push him across an exclusive milestone. With a win against Shawnee Mission North on Friday, Wedd will become the third LHS coach since 1940 to accumulate 100 wins in his career, joining Al Woolard (152-12-5 record) and Bill Freeman (13438). “All that tells you is Wedd that I had some really great players to coach and been around the best assistants that a head coach could ever dream of,” Wedd said. “You put that together, and then again if you coach long enough, you’re bound to run into it at this school especially.” Wedd, in his 18th-year at the head of the program, was an all-state center for the Lions in 1969, playing one season in high school under Woolard, who shifted him from guard to center during the middle of his junior year. But growing up, Wedd knew he wanted to become a coach. His late father, Ralph, was a longtime football coach at South Middle School and gave him the advice to learn from each coach he’s worked alongside. “I lived every day growing up with the best coach I was ever around, my father — hopefully some of that rubbed off,” said Wedd, who owns a 99-81 record. Following his playing career at Emporia State, Wedd was an assistant football coach at Pratt Junior College and Wichita State before joining Dick Purdy’s staff at Lawrence in 1990. When Wedd was promoted to head coach in 1999, he was the first LHS grad to coach at the school since 1938. “I don’t ever want to say I had a hard road,” Wedd said. “There’s a lot of paved space out there. I didn’t have to go down very many gravel roads.” A former LHS baseball coach, Wedd, 64, has surrounded himself on his coaching staff with several LHS graduates, including a few that played for him during their high school careers. > WEDD, 4C

KU sweats out volleyball victory at K-State By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Manhattan — Win out and grab at least a share of the school’s first Big 12 volleyball title. That has become the battle cry of a Kansas team that made its first Final Four last fall and is looking to make more history. The battle cry still applies, but the Jayhawks had to sweat out a five-set victory Wednesday night in old Ahearn Field House, a mixture of modern seating, musty charm and hot, stuffy air.

“That was good old-fashion, hey, let’s turn up the heat, get a bunch of people in here, sweat it out and play for a couple of hours,” Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. Kansas defeated Kansas State for the ninth time in the past 10 meetings, 25-18, 26-28, 25-22, 21-25, 15-11. KU (21-2, 10-1, tied for first with Texas in the Big 12) came out in the fifth set on fire, taking a 9-2 lead, but in keeping with the theme of the night in that neither team died easily in any of the sets, Kansas State stormed back into contention. The Wildcats (17-6, 6-4)

stormed back to within 13-10 and ultimately lost on a service error. In the eyes of some, making too much of the chance at a conference title might put too much pressure on a team, but nobody on the Jayhawks looks at it that way. “They’re pumped about it,” Bechard said. “That’s what they want to hear. We’re going to own that. We’re not going to shy away from that. We’re not going to back away from that. We’re going to own it and they’re mature enough to do that.” Cassie Wait had 33 digs,

including three in one fourth-set rally, two of the super-athletic variety. She explained why the players like keeping the conference-title talk going. “It’s a lot like playing the game of volleyball,” Wait said. “You can’t play not to lose. We have to talk about it. We have to be the aggressors day in and day out, and if we can look at each match like that, look at each point like that, it’s going to carry over.” It has. K-State had a raucous crowd, students expertly > VICTORY, 4C

They’re pumped about it. That’s what they want to hear. We’re going to own that. We’re not going to shy away from that.”

THE CHICAGO CUBS CELEBRATE AFTER GAME 7 of the Major League Baseball World Series against the Cleveland Indians Thursday in Cleveland. The Cubs won 8-7 in 10 innings to win the series 4-3.

Chicago Cubs win 1st Series title since 1908 By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer

Cleveland (ap) — They conquered injuries, adversity and doubts all season. The little team that could. The Indians were models of resiliency, the comeback kids. Knock ‘em down, they bounced right back and they did it again in Game 7 on the brink of heartbreak. But they couldn’t contain

the curse-busting Cubs. Cleveland’s unexpected, unforgettable season ended one victory shy of — and so achingly close to — a World Series title as Chicago completed a comeback from a 3-1 deficit to capture its first championship since 1908, beating the Indians 8-7 in 10 innings early Thursday. The Indians just didn’t have enough as ace Corey Kluber couldn’t win for a

third time in the Series, Andrew Miller looked mortal in relief and an overtaxed bullpen finally crumbled in extra innings. Rajai Davis’ two-run homer in the eighth briefly saved the season, but this year belongs to the Cubs, who scored twice in the 10th off Bryan Shaw following a 17-minute rain delay. Cleveland tried to rally yet again in the bottom half,

when Davis’ two-out RBI single made it 8-7. But then Michael Martinez grounded out against Mike Montgomery, and it was over. Forced to take on America’s new favorite postseason pastime, these talented Cubbies, without two starters, Cleveland came up just a bit short. Now the Indians’ World

KU football players shave heads to support fan battling cancer By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

While discussing Joe Dineen’s season-ending hamstring injury Tuesday, head coach David Beaty and defensive coordinator Clint Bowen alluded to the junior linebacker’s leadership within the program and how he remains engaged with teammates. Another example of Dineen’s impact at Kansas showed up this week, when he and some teammates wanted to find an-

other way to support for a young KU football fan in the midst of a battle with cancer. Hayden Sevenyear-old Cole Hayden, son of Shanda Hayden, the team’s academic and career advisor, is an avid Jayhawks fan. And as he continues to fight undifferentiated sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, the Jayhawks have

rallied around him, wearing #TeamCole bracelets, visiting with the youngster and, in general, doing anything they can to cheer him up. With Dineen leading the charge, a number of Kansas football players decided this week to shave their heads in a form of solidarity. So if you see a Jayhawk missing some hair, it wasn’t just part of some elaborate Halloween get-up or a stylistic choice. The Jayhawks just wanted to remind Cole they’re rooting for him.

Chiefs’ Smith ruled out, Charles undergoing knee surgery By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid had just declared Alex Smith out with a head injury, announced Jamaal Charles was undergoing knee surgery and revealed that Spencer Ware had yet to pass a battery of concussion tests. Then it started to rain. It was a fitting soundtrack for a stunningly gloomy midweek briefing. Reid went on to say defensive lineman Jaye Howard is dealing with a hip flexor injury and offensive lineman Mitch Schwartz will be resting his sore ankle in practice. There is also the belief offensive lineman Parker Ehinger is done for the season with a knee injury. “It’s part of the National Football League,” Reid said with a shrug. The biggest news was that Smith, whose head was slammed off the hard turf in Indianapolis twice last weekend, had been ruled out for the Chiefs’ game against Jacksonville. Smith passed concussion tests after both of the hits, the second of which knocked him from the game, but decided to err on the side of caution. The decision was made after consulting with an independent neurologist, talking with Reid and others in the front office — including team owner Clark Hunt — and having the results of his concussion tests reviewed by a concussion expert at the University of Pittsburgh. “There’s no blood test where you can go in and take it and they say, ‘Yeah, you have a concussion,’” Smith said. “I’ve got three little kids. You only get one brain, far as I know. The last thing I wanted was to go out there and yeah, something happens again and all of a sudden you’re asking different questions. “I’m not ready for that,” Smith added. “I don’t want to be thinking about any of that.” Nick Foles will start in his place on Sunday and Tyler Bray will serve as the backup, and Smith and Reid both expressed confidence that he will be available the following week at Carolina. “Any kind of head trauma, whatever you want to call it, time to heal is important. Precaution here was the weighing factor,” Smith said. “This was a decision we came to together.” Foles was sharp in relief last Sunday, going 16 of 22 for 223 yards with two touchdowns and no picks in a 30-16 victory. While he does not have the scrambling ability of Smith, he has a bit more arm strength that could give the Chiefs a different look against the Jaguars. “I feel pretty good that he’s got a grasp of the offense,” Reid

New Orleans — Prosecutors and attorneys for the man accused of killing New Orleans Saints star Will Smith say they’re ready for trial next month on charges including second-degree murder. Lawyers said after a hearing Wednesday that they expect about 100 potential jurors to be called to court Dec. 1 for the trial of Cardell Hayes, who shot Smith during a traffic altercation on April 9. Prosecutors say Hayes provoked the confrontation by ramming his Hummer into Smith’s SUV. Defense lawyers say Smith was the aggressor and Hayes fired in self-defense as Smith went to get his own gun. They note that Hayes did not flee, and waited for police to arrive after the shooting.

Breaking down KU’s four-guard attack in Tuesday’s exhibition opener By Matt Tait

KU’s four-guard lineup stint vs. Washburn

mtait@ljworld.com

he four-guard era for the 2016-17 Kansas basketball team officially arrived with 12:40 to play in the first half of Tuesday’s 9274 exhibition victory. Prior to that, Kansas coach Bill Self, as he has been known to do, had played two forwards and three guards in a variety of forms during the opening seven minutes of Tuesday’s game. However, with KU leading 16-6 with 12:40 to play in the first half, Self emerged from a 30-second timeout by Washburn by sending starting guards Josh Jackson and Devonte’ Graham back into the game in place of freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot and junior wing Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. For the next 5:46 of game action, Self tried a lineup that featured four guards and one big man. In all, the Jayhawks played five different lineups during that initial stretch, the first featuring Jackson, Graham, Frank Mason and Lagerald Vick playing next to Landen Lucas. By game’s end, the number of different fourguard lineups that Self used had grown to 11, with the five perimeter players all rotating in and five different big men getting at least one crack at being the lone forward on the floor. After the initial stretch of 5:46 with four guards on the floor in the first half, the Jayhawks twice played stints of the four-guard lineup in the

KANSAS GUARD LAGERALD VICK (2) defends against Washburn guard Isaac Clark (15) during the second half Tuesday, Nov. at Allen Fieldhouse. second half. The first spanned 3:54 in the early portion and the other covered just over three minutes, from the 7:49 mark to 4:44 remaining, when Self began to clear his bench. Neither Self nor the Jayhawks were overly thrilled with the production that came from the four-guard lineups on Tuesday, but that was part by design and part because the whole thing is still in the experimental stages. “We’re gonna have

some stuff that we run that we’ve worked on,” Self said hinting at more specific sets within the four-guard lineup. “But we didn’t show anything tonight and we won’t the next game (Sunday vs. Emporia State).” The main reason for Self’s willingness — and desire — to go away from his more favored approach of three perimeter players and two bigs is the make-up of this year’s roster. With five guards possessing a varying blend of talent, experi-

ence and athleticism, the strength for this Kansas team appears to be in its backcourt. Self has said going small should give Kansas a variety of advantages on the offensive end and in transition, but it did not exactly play out that way Tuesday night. “Our passing and ball handling was pretty brutal,” Self said. “And they took advantage of our carelessness and our softness.” One of the biggest keys to the whole concept is

the 6-foot-8 Jackson’s ability to play and hold his own in the 4 spot. He scored 14 points on 6-of12 shooting — nearly all of it in the second half — but finished with just four rebounds despite picking up three in the game’s first eight minutes. “Playing the four felt pretty good,” Jackson said after the victory. “We’ve worked on it before, we go over it in practice all the time. Sometimes it can be a really good thing and sometimes it can be a little tough for me guard-

ing bigger guys. But I felt pretty comfortable out there. I think I did well.” Because no one expected the lineup to be in midseason form on Tuesday night, the Jayhawks came away optimistic that the new look still will create advantages for Kansas as the season moves along. “I think it could be good for us,” Mason said. “I just don’t think we executed as well as we could have. We’ll just keep practicing and get better at it. Hopefully, it will work better for us moving forward.”

KU leads Big 12 in No. 24 KU soccer upset by TCU in Big 12 tourney third-down defense By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Even playing for an over-the-top positive head coach like David Beaty can only do so much before human nature kicks in. The Kansas football team’s defensive players haven’t experienced a victory since the first week of September, and coordinator Clint Bowen could sense members of his crew might not be giving themselves enough credit. An assistant at KU in the early 2000’s, when Mark Mangino gradually took the program to prominence, Bowen realized he needed to remind the Jayhawks they have a talented defense. “Unfortunately, it’s part of the process,” Bowen explained. “It’s hard to have confidence when things haven’t gone good. I think our defensive kids are starting to see that we are pretty good. We’re starting to do things and I think the confidence is building. And that’s part of the process.” One of the first examples Bowen can utilize in such pep talks is KU’s third-down defense. Eight games into the season, the Jayhawks (1-7 overall, 0-5 Big 12) lead the conference in third-down stops. KU’s opponents have only converted 41 of 116 opportunities (35.3 percent) — good enough for 39th nationally. What’s more, Kansas isn’t just feasting on non-conference stats to lead the league.

‘‘

It’s hard to have confidence when things haven’t gone good. I think our defensive kids are starting to see what we are pretty good. We’re starting to do things and I think the confidence is building.”

— Clint Bowen, defensive coordinator

KU also ranks No. 1 in Big 12 play, with opponents converting 25 of 65 third downs (38.5 percent). Sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. said Bowen first brought up the third-down stats to the defense in the past couple of weeks. “It’s a good thing to see, because it shows that we are making progress,” Armstrong said, noting KU struggled in that and most other categories a season ago, “and we’re not as bad as the final scores look like on the scoreboard.” Even in a 56-3 blowout on Saturday, Oklahoma converted only five of 12 third downs versus Kansas. The Sooners have a 53.1-percent success rate on third downs in conference play. The Jayhawks, who travel this week to No. 14 West Virginia (6-1, 3-1), rank last in the 10-team conference in points allowed in league play (45.6). Bowen, though, while

Special to the Journal-World

For just the third time this season, the Kansas women’s soccer team was shutout in a 1-0 loss to TCU in the Big 12 quarterfinals Wednesday at Swope Soccer Village. But what made the early exit for the second-seeded KU squad more difficult was that it squandered any chance of redemption. The team lost to Texas Tech in the Big 12 Championship final last fall and felt primed to have a chance to hoist the title this time around. “I think our team is good enough to win this thing,” coach Mark Francis said. “We are not going to get the opportunity now. Credit to them. They scored the

said. “We didn’t have to change anything when he went in. I wasn’t looking at the sheet, wondering what I can call and can’t call.” Just who Foles will be handing off to Sunday is another question. Charles had exploratory surgery Wednesday to determine why there is lingering pain in his surgically repaired right knee. The operation was performed by Dr. James Andrews, who has repaired both of the running back’s ACLs, and the belief is that Charles may have some meniscus damage. He’s been placed on injured reserve, which means he will miss at least eight weeks. The four-time Pro Bowl running back could conceivably return for the play-

one chance that they had. I wish them the best of luck. Just disappointed for us.” The No. 24 Jayhawks (10-5-4) were handed their first loss since a 1-0 home defeat to No. 1-ranked West Virginia on Oct. 7. After averaging 1.5 goals through league play, KU was unable to get anything going on offensively. “I’m gutted for our players,” Francis said. “Because I thought we did enough to win the game, except score. We had so many opportunities.” Kansas got the best of TCU (11-5-2) in the regular season meeting in Fort Worth, 2-1. And the Jayhawks put themselves in position, outshooting their opponent, 13-8 in Wednesday’s match. But the difference proved to

be capitalizing on those shots. After a scoreless first half and an extended lightening delay, the Horned Frogs got on the board in the 50th minute of action. Junior Allison Ganter netted her seventh goal of the season on a scramble play around the net. Senior Michelle Prokof lofted a corner kick up in the air, which sophomore Karitas Tomasdottir redirected with a header toward the net. The ball then was deflected and Ganter was there at the front of the net to clean it up, tapping it in for a 1-0 advantage. “The goal we gave up was bad organization,” Francis said. “We knew that they were good on set pieces, keeping the ball live. We talked about it in scout and showed

video of it. We just didn’t get to the ball quick enough.” Of Ganter’s team-high seven goals, four of them have been game winners. However, the KU defense did its part to keep the deficit within reach for the rest of the evening. Kansas goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns logged three saves before exiting with 11 minutes to go with an injury after a collision with a player. “Defensively we played great other than that goal,” Francis said. “Unfortunately, it’s the one mistake that led to the difference in the game. I thought our backs played really well. We didn’t give them too many opportunities.” Kansas will now have to wait until Monday to learn of its postseason fate.

offs, though that appears to be a longshot. “Since he’s come back from this rehab he’s had pain in both knees, it’s gone back and forth,” Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said. “He had some damage in that meniscus before. Dr. Andrews wants to see if it has a little flap in it or something that’s causing the discomfort.” His loss is compounded by the fact that Ware is still going through the NFL’s concussion protocol. The Chiefs’ fill-in is unlikely to play against Jacksonville, even though he’s not been ruled out. With only Charcandrick West available on the active roster, the Chiefs signed former second-round pick Bishop Sankey to shore up the position. Sankey has been on the Patriots practice squad, and Reid said it is possible that he

will be active against the Jaguars. “He’s got to get caught up, quickly, if he’s going to be in there,” Reid said. The Chiefs also waived linebackers Sio Moore and Sam Barrington this week. They used the roster spots to add offensive lineman Mike Person and promote linebacker Terrance Smith from the practice squad. The net result has been

a chaotic three days for the Chiefs (5-2), who are a half-game back of Oakland and Denver in the AFC West after rattling off three consecutive wins. “We’ve all got confidence in each other,” Reid said, “so we go out and next man comes in and goes. We’re not going to have to do a whole lot of different things. We’ll just play.”

Cubs CONTINUED FROM 1C

Series drought of 68 years is baseball’s longest. This one hurts for Cleveland fans, but not as much as 1997, when the Indians blew a late lead in Game 7 on a humid night in Florida and lost in extra innings to the Marlins. The 2016 Indians weren’t expected to win the AL Central or beat Boston in the Division Series or take out Toronto in the AL Championship Series or push Chicago up against the wall. And yet, that’s what the Indians did, which is why it will sting all winter. It was right there for them. After winning two of three at Wrigley Field, the Indians came home to Progressive Field with two chances to close out the Cubs, but couldn’t get it done. Cleveland is first Series team since the 1979 Baltimore Orioles to lose

battled back to take the match into extra points. K-State was declared the winner when it won a challenge on a shot that originally was ruled out. Kansas bounced back to win the third set, and in the fourth set battled from behind to tie the score, 20-20. K-State took command from there, scoring five of the final six points.

Kelsie Payne, reigning AVCA national player of the week, maintained her level of play and contributed 23 kills. Madison Rigdon (14 kills), Jada Burse (13 kills) and Tayler Soucie (11 kills, seven blocks) also had big nights. “Kelsie got a lot of kills at the right time and I was really proud of Jada Burse, 13 kills, 37 swings,

that’s high volume for her,” Bechard said. Wait summed up the night well in saying, “Some really long rallies, just a battle of wits.” Kansas has five matches remaining on the Big 12 schedule, five more chances to keep the battle cry alive, the next coming on a road trip to Norman for an 8 p.m. first serve Saturday.

Those players-turnedcoaches noted that the intensity of Wedd’s oldschool coaching style has changed throughout the years. Wedd still has the same level of intensity — “He picks and chooses when he brings it to the table,” co-offensive coordinator Chris Johnson said — but he knows when to bring occasional levity. During practice Monday, for Halloween, he wore a blonde wig and sunglasses, dancing in a huddle of his players. “Playing for him and coaching with him,” Johnson said, “just the expectations and the work ethic that he brings to the table and instills in the people that played for him and worked for him, it really makes you feel good to be a part of something like a 100th victory.” Of course, Wedd’s coaching career was near the start of the town’s split into two high schools. That included managing expectations from the football jug-

scoring on 25 of 30 visits (83.3 percent). KU’s foes have scored 21 touchdowns and gone 4-for-7 on field goals. Bowen said the KU staff has placed a lot of emphasis on third-down stops, and the results have pleased them. The defensive coordinator added a number of factors led to KU’s drastic improvement in that category from a year ago, when the Jayhawks ranked 118th out of 127 FBS teams in

third-down defense with four games left in 2015. “I think in the secondary you have some guys, outside of (true freshman safety) Mike Lee, that are veteran players, who understand the coverages more, understand the situations that are going on more,” Bowen said. “And third down’s usually a tendency down. So they’re understanding the game plan more, ‘Third down they like to do this.’ “Obviously having

Dorance Armstrong (8.0 sacks) up front rushing the quarterback and those guys, (senior defensive end Cameron) Rosser, and the things we’ve been able to do up front to put pressure on the QB and make the ball come out on time has helped. But, in general, that third down is really a group effort, from the front getting pressure on them to the secondary covering guys and working together.” Sophomore defensive

tackle Daniel Wise said the players have learned to take some pride in their third-down stops. “Whenever the defense gets out there, the main goal is to get (the opponent) off the field as quick as we can,” Wise said, “to get the offense another opportunity to put some points on the board.” Beaty said KU’s coaches have seen flashes of their Jayhawks making the types of plays it takes to win in the Big 12.

gernaut, which won nine state titles from 1984-95. “You have to take your hat off to coach Wedd for transitioning in that time,” LHS defensive coordinator Adam Green said. “That was a very tough time for football to go from one school to two schools. Being able to manage expectations and not let expectations drop drastically, I’ve always had a lot of respect for coach Wedd and (Free State) coach (Bob) Lisher for that.” With an opportunity to win his 100th game — which Wedd deadpanned, “I think I win 100 games, but I think I’m the losingest coach in Lawrence High history” — he is still thrilled to coach at his former school. That includes all of the traditions, expectations and players he has a chance to coach each season. “I’ve coached here for 28 years,” Wedd said, “and I don’t think I ever drive up 19th Street and think I’m going to work. I think it’s just a gift that the good Lord gave me and try to do the best that you can. That’s all you can do.” Bowen doesn’t mind showcasing those steps in the right direction. “We’ve got some great players on our defense, and it’s time for them to finish games and play the way they’re supposed to play,” Bowen said. “Because they’re here to be Big 12 football players. And us not finishing games, there’s no excuses for it. We’re good enough to do it. We’ve proved that we can do it. Now we’ve got to start finishing.”
