KANSAS BUDGET

Revenue gap is now $159M Gov. Brownback slashes millions, borrows heavily from highway fund in response to new estimates By Peter Hancock Twitter: @JWpqhancock

Topeka — New revenue estimates released Friday show Kansas is likely to bring in $159 million less this fiscal year than previously expected, prompting Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration to announce immediate spending cuts and budget adjustments, including another $48 million sweep out of highway funds. The state’s Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, made up of state budget officials, LEGISLATURE agency heads and economists from three universities, said a struggling farm economy, sluggish growth in retail sales and declining oil and gas prices were largely to blame for the downward revision. Budget director Shawn Sullivan acknowledged that as of Friday the balance in the Please see REVENUE, page 12A

Ex-mayor moves out, but not before leaving this

awrence’s former mayor has left a mess behind. Yes, I know, that is not exactly breaking news at this point. But I’m talking about a literal mess, as in a pile of trash strewn about the front yard of his former home. Journal-World photographer Nick Krug took this photo a few days ago at Jeremy Farmer’s former residence at 1135 Randall Road after some neighbors had called us to complain about the mess. In case you have forgotten, Farmer resigned his post as mayor of Lawrence in August after he resigned his job as the executive director of a local food bank, where it was discovered

School CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In 2014, after an earlier Supreme Court order in the case, the Legislature added what was thought to be about $130 million to $140 million in equalization aid, money that subsidizes the local option and capital outlay budgets of lower wealth districts in order to hold down their property tax rates. But because of changes in property valuation across the state, coupled with complexities in the funding formula, the price tag ended up being about $54 million higher than expected, prompting lawmakers to return this year, scrap the old funding formula, and replace it with a system of block grants for the next two years. In addition, lawmakers changed the way equalization aid is distributed, resulting in a net loss to many larger districts, including the Lawrence school district, which lost about $1.5 million, according to Superintendent Rick Doll. In June, a three-judge panel in Shawnee County struck down those changes as unconstitutional. The state appealed that decision to the Supreme Court. Some of the toughest questions came from Justice Dan Biles, a former attorney for the Kansas State Board of Education, who repeatedly asked attorneys for the state, “What evidence did the Legislature use to decide what it was doing would cure the inequities that were identified in (the first Supreme Court opinion)?” “There are all kinds of school finance guys who will come in and say one thing or another,” Biles said. “My point is, you didn’t offer any evidence to support the characterization” that the new system is constitutional. “That ... was not supported by any expert opinion,” Arthur Chalmers admitted. Chalmers was the lead attorney for the state throughout the trial of the case in 2012 and when it was remanded back to the trial court in 2014. Once it was remanded, the state’s attorneys agreed, the burden of proof fell on the state to show that whatever changes they enacted complied with the court’s order, and that they met the constitutional standard of making sure all districts had substantially equal access to educational programs with substantially equal local tax rates. The case began in 2010 after then-Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat, began making deep, across-theboard budget cuts in the wake of collapsing state revenues brought on by the Great Recession. For a number of years after that, going into Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, the Legislature approved only flat funding to equalize local option budgets, despite rising costs. And it stopped funding equalization for capital outlay budgets altogether. In 2014, the court said that created unconstitutional inequities between rich and poor districts. But it said the Legislature could solve that problem simply by fully funding those two formulas. Justice Marla Luckert

LAWRENCE • STATE

noted that while lawmakers did approve the funding that was suggested, it also changed the way that money is distributed. “We need to look at both the structure and implementation,” she said. “In the remedy phase (of the case), the state chose to change the structure.” Solicitor General Stephen McAllister, a Kansas University law professor, argued that the Legislature made a “good faith effort” to comply with the court’s earlier order. And he argued that even if the new system is found unconstitutional, the court should give deference to the Legislature and give it time to come up with a solution. “Are you suggesting we should let an unconstitutional law go forward for two years while people work on it?” Biles asked. Several of the justices also challenged a portion of the 2015 law that had received little attention previously, a “nonseverabiity” clause that says if any part of the new law is found unconstitutional, the entire funding system for public schools becomes null and void. But the justices indicated that provision itself was probably unconstitutional because the Kansas Constitution requires the Legislature “to make suitable provision for the finance” of public education. “Is it the state’s position that the day we say that (the new law is unconstitutional), the next day, the kids don’t go to school?” Biles asked. “I don’t know that that would be the case,” McAllister replied. “Even if you assume you knock out the funding system, I would assume the schools have money. It may soon become an issue, but it would not be immediate that the schools would have to close, and many of them have substantial reserve funds as well.” But Alan Rupe, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said that should not be allowed. “They can’t throw out a system and create an unconstitutional system,” he said. “This needs to be fixed,” Rupe said at the opening of his arguments. “I’ve been before you eight times, and there is a pattern here in the times I’ve been before you.” Rupe said that in the three major school finance lawsuits dating back to the early 1990s, the state has gone back on its promises to provide suitable funding and comply with court orders at least 10 times. “We think that this has gone on quite long enough,” he said. “We are going to advocate that this court take prompt action. We ask the court to compel compliance with this court’s orders and with the Constitution.” The court has not indicated when it will rule, although it did put the case on an expedited schedule because it affects funding for the current school year. In the spring, the court will hear oral arguments in the much larger portion of the case, challenging the overall adequacy of Kansas school funding, and the trial court’s ruling that the state may need to add as much as $500 million a year in new funding.

Library’s multicultural storytime is back in session starting today

ook no further than the Lawrence Public Library’s reading room if you’d like your child to learn firsthand about another culture. Presenters from countries such as Bulgaria, Greece and Italy will be taking part in the recently reinitiated multicultural storytime at the library, 707 Vermont St. While there is a language component, the program tends to teach more than just new vocabulary, said Karen Allen, youth services coordinator for the library. “They’re exposed to other cultures, and when that happens I think that you gain sympathy for other people around the world,” she said.

My understanding is that audit is still in process. But when it is completed, we’ll seek to get a copy and report on its results. The community has rallied around Just Food and helped the nonprofit complete a fundraising drive to pay off its debt to taxing authorities. But I think there is strong interest in the community about getting to the bottom of what happened at the organization. That interest likely will become stronger if Just Food seeks city or county funding in the future to help it keep its doors open. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears daily on LJWorld.com.

Officials: Hold off on emergency aid for schools 17 districts advised to wait until next year to request funds

Associated Press

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration recommends not granting emergency state aid to most of the Kansas school districts that plan on seeking funds at an upcoming meeting with lawmakers, though it isn’t clear whether that will be followed. The Kansas State Department of Education sent an email to superintendents on behalf of the Division of Budget that said giving certain districts extra aid would not benefit them until

next year because school budgets for this fiscal year have already been set, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The message suggested the 17 of 23 districts that applied for aid wait until next year, and said attending the State Finance Council meeting on Monday is not necessary. The message was meant as a courtesy to the superintendents, since many district representatives would be from western Kansas, the governor’s office

said Thursday. But it won’t keep Mike Ward, superintendent of Lakin USD 215, from making the six-hour trip to Topeka to present his case to the State Finance Council. “It’s my belief, it’s our belief, that they’re banking on us not showing up,” Ward said. It’s unknown whether the council will follow Budget Director Shawn Sullivan’s recommendation, education department spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said. She added that other dis-

tricts that are applying for additional funding are encouraged to attend Monday’s meeting. The state education department says the 17 districts are seeking the emergency funds because low oil and gas prices led to a drop in property valuations in their regions. If the districts receive the money, it will be earmarked for next year and the funds will displace local property tax revenue, potentially leading to lower tax bills for property owners.

A new, in-house survey of city employees found an increase in overall satisfaction in the past seven years but more concern about the city’s facilities, number of staff and other resources. The voluntary survey was completed in August, and 567 out of the total 843 part- and full-time city employees responded. Over the next six months, department heads will address department-specific issues brought up in the survey, said Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay. “Department-level staff are working on their plans, based on what the priorities identified in that survey said,” Toomay said. “They have been challenged to come up with

The citizens’ survey, which was mailed to a random sample of 2,500 Lawrence residents, occurs every four years and is conducted by an Olathe-based market research firm. “It’s important to reach out to citizens and hear what they have to say; it’s also important that we hear from employees,” Toomay said. Employees ranked equipment and resources

as a top priority. Of those who responded, 42 percent of city employees disagreed with the statement that there were adequate facilities, equipment, personnel and other resources available to successfully do their job. According to a memorandum to city employees from Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard, there were “a number of comments” on the employee surveys about the need for a new police facility — a topic that’s been discussed over the past year.

City one of two finalists for youth ‘Olympics’ By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Lawrence is now one of two finalist cities vying for an opportunity to host the 2017 USA Track & Field Junior Olympics, said Bob Sanner of eXplore Lawrence. In mid-October, eXplore Lawrence, the city’s visitors bureau, submitted a bid to host the annual seven-day event, Sanner said. Of the applicants, only Lawrence and Des Moines, Iowa, were chosen as finalists. If Lawrence is selected as a host, the Junior Olympics — which take place the last week of July — would be held at Rock Chalk Park, Sanner said. About 9,500 athletes and 33,000 family members would be expected to come to town that week. This July, Sanner took a trip to Jacksonville, Fla., this year’s Junior Olympics host, to see whether the event was something Lawrence could handle and to advocate for the city’s potential as a host. The event could generate $17 million to $22 million, Sanner said, though that amount would be dispersed throughout the broader metro region, including Kansas City and Topeka. On Monday, a fourmember site evaluation team will arrive in Lawrence to examine the city’s facilities, hotel accommodations and the community as a whole, Sanner said. The organization will decide by Dec. 5. The final decision couldn’t come too soon, Sanner said, because if Lawrence is chosen, preparations will need to begin immediately. “The decision needs to be made quickly because it’s a major, major event, and we need all that time to plan and prepare and make sure we’re in the best possible position to host and give the kids and families the best experience,” Sanner said. As a proactive approach, eXplore Lawrence has been working with other area cities to secure hotel rooms, Sanner said. If Lawrence does host the event, it will give the entire region an economic boost, he added.

Layer bulbs for a colorful show in spring

ulips, daffodils and other springflowering bulbs take up a lot of real estate for plants that only bloom for a few weeks out of the year, but their beauty in early spring is unrivaled. Make the most of small spaces by planting spring bulbs in layers. Bulbs can even be layered in large flowerpots or containers to simplify the planting process and create an out-of-the-box spring show. To create a layered bulb planting, select a site or container for planting. Spring bulbs prefer full sun and welldrained soil. If using a container, select one that is at least 10 inches deep. Next, select bulbs for planting. Plan for two,

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith three or even four layers. An easy example is daffodils (bottom), tulips (middle), and crocus (top). The crocus will grow and bloom first with tulips filling in and blooming as the crocus fade. The daffodils will then fill in and bloom to hide the fading tulip foliage. Sources disagree about exactly how deep to plant bulbs, but they agree that the bulbs need

to be deep enough for winter protection and for the soil to support the base of the stem. For larger bulbs like daffodils, shoot for 6 to 8 inches. Plant mid-size bulbs like tulips 4 to 6 inches deep, and place smaller bulbs closer to the soil surface depending on the size of the bulb. One exception is hyacinths, which have a fairly large bulb but produce a short plant that requires little support. Hyacinths can be treated similarly to small or midsize bulbs. If planting in the ground, dig a hole or trench deep enough for the largest of the bulbs chosen. Remember to figure in the depth of mulch if it will be added over the top. Place the

largest bulbs, then cover them with soil until the depth is appropriate for the next layer of bulbs. Cover the second layer and repeat if adding a third or fourth layer. If planting in a container, simply fill the bottom with potting soil until the depth is appropriate to add the first layer of bulbs. Place them in the pot with at least a little potting soil insulation around the edges (between the bulb and the container). Cover the first layer of bulbs with potting soil until depth is appropriate for the second layer. Repeat the process until all the bulbs are planted. Try creating multiple containers or planting sites using different colors of tulips or mixing

and matching different species of bulbs. Besides daffodils, spring-blooming alliums, fritillaria, lilies, and camassia could be used for a bottom layer. For middle layers or top layers in two-layer plantings, use tulips, hyacinths, or snowdrops (galanthus). For top layers, use crocus, grape hyacinths (muscari), or scilla bulbs. Mulch helps protect against rapid temperature changes and is beneficial on in-ground plantings and container plantings. Smaller containers may also benefit from being set into a bed of mulch or compost for a little extra protection from frigid temperatures. Spring-flowering bulbs

New library furniture dedicated to longtime volunteer, advocate By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Two new additions to the Lawrence Public Library’s storytimes have been dedicated to a passionate advocate for the organization who died in 2014, the library said in a news release. Carol Nalbandian, who was a longtime member of the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library volunteer group, died in January 2014. But she left

Her husband, Kansas University Public Affairs and Administration professor emeritus John Nalbandian, commissioned a custom-made table and chair from local artist and KU assosiate professor of design Tom Huang.

The Lawrence Police Department requested a new headquarters last year and has reiterated that its current locations — a Joint Law Enforcement Center downtown and an Investigation and Training Center in west Lawrence — are too small and don’t meet its needs. Developing public safety facilities, such as a new police headquarters, also got support in the citizens survey. According to the results, 52 percent pointed to that as a priority. Stoddard’s memo states facilities have been a “growing concern” and staff will continue to talk about the needs with the City Commission. “I believe that over the next 10 years, facility needs will require attention and resources,” it states. According to a summary of the results, 62 percent of respondents disagreed that the City Commission understood the working conditions in their departments.

‘Obscure’ Web video series Guilty plans to pay The Sandbar a visit

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

he producers of “Exploring the Obscure,” a Web series that deals in offbeat oddities around the world, have chosen a beloved Lawrence drinking institution as their next filming locale. Tim Martini, the show’s host, confirmed the news Friday. Today, the Toronto-based traveler and his crew will interview staffers from The Sandbar about the origins of the Hurricane and later, partake in the kooky ritual himself. The indoor Hurricane, for the uninitiated, involves a fake newscast, a high-tech vortex machine, simulated precipitation and mermaids, among other nautical elements. It occurs almost every night at 10 p.m. Saturday’s stop is the first of several Kansas visits on Martini’s month-long tour across the United States. On Sunday, he’ll visit

You can witness the filming of the Hurricane — and the possibility of Martini in a mermaid (merman?) costume — around 10 p.m. tonight, or check it out later on Facebook or YouTube. — This is an excerpt from features reporter Joanna Hlavacek’s Out & About blog, which appears regularly on Lawrence.com.

Espinobarros’ charge stems from an incident between Jan. 6 and Jan. 14 of 2013 when a 15-year-old girl knocked on his door and asked Espinobarros if he would like to pay to have sex with her, according to preliminary hearing testimony. Espinobarros agreed, and did so. Espinobarros was originally charged with aggravated indecent liberties with a child and buying sexual relations in October 2013, but pleaded down to the indecent liberties with a child charge as part of a plea agreement. “This is a very serious crime and (Espinobarros)

I believe that over the next 10 years, facility needs will require attention and resources.” — Diane Stoddard, interim city manager That was also cited as an issue in a 2008 survey of city employees. In that survey, employees were asked to score the City Commission on whether they understood the working conditions of the city. The commission received a score of 2.1 out of a possible 5. In this most recent survey, employees chose whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied with statements but did not provide scores. Though issues were cited, about 78 percent of employees answered that they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their current employment. According to the memo, overall satisfaction is up 18 percent since the last survey in 2008. Most employees — more than 80 percent — answered that their supervisor and co-workers treated them with respect, and 67 percent were satisfied with the

overall working environment. Sixty-six percent were satisfied with their overall compensation and benefits. Before a seven-year period without one, employee surveys had been conducted every three years from 2002 through 2008 and had been done through a market research firm. Toomay said city leaders want to do the surveys more frequently. She and Stoddard plan to meet with each department over the next two months to garner additional feedback. “Now that we’ve seen the survey, we’ll give them a chance to respond and see what we can do to keep that continuous loop of feedback going,” she said. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 and nwentling@ljworld.com.

needs to be punished for it,” Simpson said at the hearing Friday. The case was connected to that of Crescenciano Donato Hilario, who was sentenced to nearly five years in prison after pleading no contest in April 2013 to one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Prosecutors had accused Hilario of having sex with the same minor girl who had become intoxicated at a party at a Lawrence apartment complex in January. Simpson said in court

that if Espinobarros is deported, it would be a federal crime if he ever re-enters the country. While Espinobarros is in the United States, he will have to register as a sexual offender for the next 25 years in the United States and be on parole for the rest of his life. Prior to this case, Espinobarros had never been convicted of a crime in the United States, Martin said. – Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 813-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

STATE

Sen. Roberts places Obama nominee on hold over Gitmo Washington (ap) — Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts on Wednesday placed a hold on President Barack Obama’s nominee for the secretary of the Army to prevent the White House from taking executive action to close Guantanamo Bay and transfer detainees to the United States. Roberts and the five other Republican lawmakers who make up the congressional delegation from Kansas issued a joint statement, condemning what they said was the Obama administration’s refusal to rule out taking executive action to close the prison in Cuba. White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Wednesday that Obama wants to work with Congress to close Guantanamo Bay, but “if Congress continues to refuse,” the president will explore all other options. Closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was a theme of Obama’s 2008 campaign and he voted in 2009 to eventually shutter the facility, which he argues is costly and gives extremists a recruiting tool. Law currently bans detainees from being transferred to U.S. soil, but facilities in several states, including Kansas, South Carolina and Colorado

“

Threatening to shut down Guantanamo Bay by executive action shows President Obama’s blatant disregard for the law.” — Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. have been discussed. “Threatening to shut down Guantanamo Bay by executive action shows President Obama’s blatant disregard for the law,” Roberts said. “Congress has consistently stopped Obama by law from moving a single detainee to the U.S., and this would be an egregious overstep by the administration ignoring the will of the American people to accomplish the president’s legacy goals.” He said he has placed a hold on the president’s nominee for the Secretary of the Army, Eric Fanning, and vowed to put holds on any nominee to prevent the president from taking unilateral action. The other Kansas delegates — Sen. Jerry Moran and Reps. Lynn Jenkins, Mike Pompeo, Tim Huelskamp and Kevin Yoder, all expressed opposition to the White House stance on the issue.

adopt-a-pet Kacee

Kacee is a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel mix and was brought to us because she is selective about the company she keeps. Children, cats and some other dogs are a source of frustration for her. She much prefers being on her own and would appreciate a home where she can be the independent lady she is. As with all of the animals who are 10 years or older, her fee fees are waived for is waived.

pets of the week!

Jimmy

We know that Jimmy needs to go to a home without cats and we also know that he is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He wagged his tail so much, he ended up with “happy” tail. He has spent some time at the front desk as a helper and always enjoys greeting everyone when they come in. He is a 6 year old all black Labrador Retriever mix and he needs you to adopt him.

yeTi

Yeti is looking for that certain someone. He is a handsome 4 year old Domestic Long Hair with black tiger markings. He is willing to accept you as you are. Are you willing to take him as he is? That’s what soul mates do. Right? He would like to be the only cat in the home and he may need some extra TLC for his possible skin allergies. Not a lot to ask for such a good guy.

emma

Emma has strong attachments to her sister Dottie. They were brought in because they need a home where they have room to run and can be true to their breed. These pretty 7 year old German Short Hair ladies will do well in a home with children and maybe another dog. No cats for them please. A meet with any dogs in the home is a must. Let’s make a deal. See you soon.

a “common scheme or course of conduct.” The court’s lengthy decision — which dealt with dozens of technical issues raised by Robinson’s attorneys on appeal — upheld the death sentence that resulted from Robinson’s capital murder conviction for Trouten’s death in 2000. During the same trial, Robinson also was convicted of capital murder for the 1999 slaying of Lewicka and of non-capital murder in the 1985 death of Lisa Stasi, a 19-year-old whose body has never been found. The Supreme Court reversed those two convictions, saying Kansas’ death penalty law allowed for only one capital murder charge covering multiple killings in the overall case. But that ruling “in no way” cleared Robinson in the deaths, Justice Caleb Stegall wrote in the majority’s opinion.

Sophie

fees are waived for pets of the week!

Sophie is a little Rat Terrier mix and is about 8 years old. She has a lot going for her on the adorable and friendly front. She would be a happy camper if she could spend her days sitting on your lap and being the best thing that ever happened to you. She should be okay with another dog, but would like to meet the other dog. A leash and collar is all you need.

Can’t adopt? then please donate! Call, e-mail or Come Visit! help us help them!

Tigra

Are you looking for an older more refined cat for your abode? Tigra has many of the qualities you might be in search of. She is an 8 year old Domestic Short Hair with brown tiger torbie markings and has that air of awareness and experience you won’t find in the younger cats. As long as the Royals are in the World Series, she and the other cats over 6 months fees are waived for have their fees waived.

BrooKS

It doesn’t take much to put Brooks in the mood to play. If you think this guy is fun in his kennel, imagine what he would be like in your home. He is a 5 month old Domestic Short Hair and has an orange coat with tiger markings. With little to no effort, he will add some zip and zing to whatever household he joins. Of course when he’s ready, hugs are always an option.

LiL BiT

You might think of Lil Bit as having some special needs, but don’t tell her that. The only thing she thinks she needs is a lap to snuggle in and a loving heart to guide her through her senior years. She is a 9 year old Miniature Poodle with a mostly white coat. She has cataracts, so her vision is limited to seeing mostly shadows. She might surprise you at how adaptable she can be.

peanuT & BuSTer

Peanut and Buster might sound like a tasty treat from your local ice cream shop, but in reality they are a bonded pair who are waiting for their new home. Peanut is a 5 year old Rat Terrier mix and Buster is a 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix. Buster likes to dress up and be stylish, but Peanut prefers the natural look. As with all good friendships, neither of them question the others choice of attire.

Bear

Bear was an owner surrender, but we do get Rabbits in as strays sometimes. So if you are thinking of adopting one, be sure you keep a close eye on him/her when you are playing outside with them. Bear is a 6 lb. gray and white guy and would probably do okay around other animals, but you would need to do a gradual introduction with everyone. Do your research. Rabbits are fun, but need some special attention

DoTTie

Dottie came in with her “sister” Emma. They are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. Dottie is more of the boss and does not always do well with dogs other than Emma. They are 7 years old and are beautiful German Short Hair Pointers. They have been around children and did well. They will chase cats, so we would prefer a home without cats. Come take a look at these lovely ladies.

maggie

Maggie didn’t get this beautiful by accident. It takes a lot of attention to detail to get those ears and facial expressions just right. What she didn’t know was that she would be getting a tasty treat for posing like a pro. She is a sweet 6 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a people dog. She loves people and she loved the tasty chicken that she got for being such a good photo subject.

ginger

Ginger is a classic yellow Labrador Retriever and has the personality you look for in her breed. She is 3 years old and does well with other dogs and children. Cats are fun to chase, so she will need to find another way to get her exercise. She has been an outdoor girl all her life, so she will need to work on her indoor girl skills. She is young and should learn quickly.

deal about your sister’s attitude. Is it possible she is simply one of those Negative Nellies and it has nothing to do with you? Some people have downer personalities that are difficult to be around, but to assume her negativity is due to a long-simmering sibling rivalry could be adding meaning where none exists. Have you asked your sister directly whether she is jealous or competitive? She may be

Trump hosts ‘SNL,’ and then what? Donald Trump hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC, TV-14). Is this a good idea? Will it be funny and bring a new audience to the 40-yearold comedy franchise, providing some buzz? Or will it demonstrate the lengths, even depths, that “SNL” and NBC will go to for ratings? Perhaps “SNL” could show a side of Trump not explored by the “news” media or exposed in the presidential debates. As a 40-yearold comedy institution, “SNL” has been in the public eye even longer than Trump. Maybe some of its sketches could take a look at and celebrate Trump’s colorful past. Think of the fun the show could have with his various wives and the gruesome ways he wooed them and then dumped them on the front pages of New York City tabloids. Perhaps Al Pacino could show up and reprise his role from “Angels in America” as Roy Cohn, the disgraced and eventually disbarred lawyer who represented a young developer Donald Trump, along with many mobster clients. Oh, what fun “SNL” could have with the story of Philip Testa, aka “the Chicken Man,” a Philadelphia mob figure whose hitman son sold Trump a parcel of land in Atlantic City at an exorbitant price that raised many eyebrows. (It later became the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.) The Chicken Man was later eliminated by gang rivals in dramatic fashion — an explosive act immortalized by Bruce Springsteen in his song, “Atlantic City.” Maybe “SNL” could get The Boss to show up and serenade The Donald. Now that would be an event.

Tonight’s other highlights

After a wife (Anna Camp) discovers her husband’s (Sam Page) affair, she kidnaps his teenage lover (Stefanie Scott) in the 2015 made-for-television drama “Caught” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

A doctor makes house calls above the Arctic Circle in the new series “Dr. Dee: Alaska Vet” (7 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-14).

The heartbreaking and illuminating 2014 documentary “Glen Campbell ... I’ll Be Me” (7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday, CNN) follows the pop-country singer through his descent into Alzheimer’s disease during an extensive cross-country farewell tour.

Untrustworthy Zygons dominate the landscape on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America, TV-PG).

Ash teaches Pablo and Kelly the difference between truth and illusion on “Ash vs Evil Dead” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

“Jackie Kennedy: Behind Closed Doors” (8 p.m., Reelz, TV-PG) takes a stylish look at the former first lady.

unaware of it. Have you let her know that when she constantly responds with bitterness and negativity that it is difficult to be around her? She may not realize this is how she comes across, and it may occur with everyone she knows. Have you asked whether she is happy? She could be depressed and might benefit from seeing her doctor. Approach her with sisterly love and concern, and see whether you can make a difference in her demeanor. We hope so. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Waiting for Answers,” whose husband, “Ron,” left their marriage after 14 years for a “vulgar, overweight, heavily tattooed biker chick, who was into drugs and random sex.” She asked why he would do that. I understand his thinking. I

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Nov. 7: This year you have many friends. You have many high aspirations. If you can’t make a situation workable, consider nixing it in the near future. If you are single, use care before committing to any relationship. If you are attached, you’ll want more and more time alone together. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Whatever you do, you will do it with all your heart. Others also seek you out. Tonight: Take others’ feelings into consideration. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Spend some quality time with a loved one over breakfast or immediately afterward. Your imagination will delight this person. Tonight: Be nurturing. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Fun surrounds you. Feelings could be quite passionate, no matter what the topic. Tonight: Add some spice. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Choose to respond to an invitation to talk in the morning. Staying at home is worthwhile. Tonight: Order in. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Run out for a favorite breakfast treat, and bring it home for others. Tonight: Someone snags your heart.

was in my late 40s and had been married for 22 years when I got divorced and thought I’d enjoy living large. I enjoyed my freedom for a few years, but it became quickly obvious that my situation wasn’t going to be the wild ride I had imagined. There were plenty of opportunities to date nice women, but I learned that to have more than one serious lady friend at a time was an impossibility. — Louisiana Dear Louisiana: Thanks for weighing in. Most readers agreed that “Ron” was looking for a wild kind of freedom that would bring neither pleasure nor satisfaction in the long run. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use the morning well, as your energy levels remain high and you become unusually expressive of your feelings. Tonight: Out on the town. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might need to handle a personal matter in the morning, after which you will be much more upbeat. Tonight: Hang out with your pals. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Investigate possibilities more carefully than you have in the past. Be respectful with a sincere offer. Tonight: Maintain a low profile. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Give up being so serious. Weigh various ideas. Tonight: Find a friend who makes you laugh. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might consider spontaneously taking off with a loved one this morning. Tonight: Others naturally gravitate toward you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One person pulls in close. Can you handle this behavior? Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of recent events. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seem to gather around you this morning. A loved one could become irritated. Tonight: With someone you adore. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: Even though my older sister and I are in our senior years, I believe that she has never overcome her competitiveness and resentment toward me. As the other members of our immediate family have sadly passed away, one would think that we would become closer, since we are the only ones left. However, I believe she is in denial about the problems still between us. I don’t want the relationship we have to end, but sometimes, it is difficult for me to face her negative and bitter feelings toward me. I know she will not change as long as she denies that our sibling rivalry exists. How can I deal with her and maintain a positive relationship? — Montreal Dear Montreal: You are assuming a great

Washington — Where do Republicans get that special talent for turning gold to dross? They score an electoral “massacre” (The Economist) in 2014 and, a year later, what do they have to show for it other than another threat to shut down the government? Hillary Clinton is caught in email flagrante and Benghazi mendacity and yet, with one Kevin McCarthy gaffe and a singularly ineffective 11-hour Benghazi hearing, Republicans render her sanitized. And now their latest feat. They win a stunning victory over their perennial nemesis, the mainstream media — a slam-

“

They win a stunning victory over their perennial nemesis, the mainstream media … and within a week they so overplayed their hand as to dissipate whatever sympathetic advantage they gained.”

dunk rim-rattling exposure of the media bias they have been complaining about for a half-century — and within a week they so overplayed their hand as to dissipate whatever sympathetic advantage they gained. The CNBC debate was a gift for the GOP, so unadorned a demonstration of liberal condescension, hostility and arrogance that the rest of the media — their ideological cover exposed — were forced to denounce and ridicule their ham-handed colleagues. What happened then? Instead of quitting while they were ahead, the Republicans plunged into a week of meetings and statements, whining and

complaining, bouncing around a series of demands, including control of the kind of questions that may or may not be asked at future debates. Who’s the genius who thought up that one? First, it instantly allowed the liberal media to turn the tables and play defenders of journalistic independence against GOP bullies. Second, it made the Republicans look small. To paraphrase Chris Christie’s “fantasy football” moment, the economy is in the tank, Russia is on the move, the Islamic State is on the attack — and the candidates are debating the proper room temperature for a debate forum? Third, this continues the season-long GOP diversion from what should be its real target — the wreckage wrought by seven years of Barack Obama. The greatest irony of this campaign is that Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the ones making the case that the economy is stagnant, inequality growing and the middle class falling increasingly behind. That’s a devastating indictment of Democratic governance, exactly the case Republicans should have been making all year. Instead, they’ve wasted months trading schoolboy taunts and ad hominems. Now another distraction: debate structure. The party is

demanding there be no repetition of the CNBC debate. Why, for God’s sake? That debate was the best thing to happen to the GOP since Michael Dukakis. Won’t someone tell the Republicans that they won? Let it go. Who cares who’s on the next debate panel? Don’t they realize that fear of ridicule alone will temper the instincts of whatever liberal questioners are chosen? John Harwood’s obnoxiousness and Becky Quick’s incompetence earned most of the opprobrium heaped on the moderators’ performance. But it was Carl Quintanilla who demonstrated just how unmoored liberal delusions about conservatives have become. He asked Ben Carson how, as an opponent of gay marriage, he could remain on the board of a company that is known for its generous treatment of gay employees. Quintanilla seemed genuinely unable to fathom that one can oppose the most radical change in the structure of marriage in human history — as Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama all did just a few years ago — without wanting to see gay people persecuted and denied decent treatment by their employers. CNBC produced the best night of the entire campaign season for the GOP. And yet

some Republicans were determined to turn it into another theater of their civil war against the GOP “establishment.” This time the target was Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. As if Priebus is responsible for Harwood. Good grief. Priebus’ job, the party’s job, is to control the number of debates and set the calendar. Its doing so in 2015-16 constitutes a significant achievement, considering the damage done to the GOP in 2011-2012 by its 20 freelance debates. That endless, vicious intramural fight — featuring Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich savaging Mitt Romney’s “vulture capitalism” — laid the premise for Obama’s negative and winning campaign. Ted Cruz has suggested that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin moderate Republican debates. Good idea, wrong target. How about this arrangement? Limbaugh & Co. should moderate the Democratic debates. What a splendid blood-soaked spectacle that would be. As for the GOP? Bring on the liberals. The Republicans should demand the return of Harwood, Quick and Quintanilla, until the end of time. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Tests not helping education By Kevin Kumashiro Tribune News Service

Recently released national scores reveal that high-stakes testing is not helping public education. Scores from the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress, often called the “nation’s report card,” show declines in student test scores in reading and mathematics for the first time since 1990. SAT scores have also gone down. Students are spending an increasing number of days each year taking standardized tests, dedicating weeks or even months preparing. The Council of Great City Schools just released a report documenting the extent to which students nationwide are being overtested, not only in the number of tests, but also in the time spent on testing and test prep. The report shows no evidence that all of the additional time, attention and resources have led to any significant gains in learning or achievement. None of this should be surprising. Research was clear even before No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top that more testing would do little to improve education. Reforms that found solid footing in the civil rights movement, including desegregation and multicultural curriculum, were actually closing the gap between white and black students. But in the past quarter-century, there’s been increasing preoccupation with test scores. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will step down in December. His successor is John B. King, whose track record does not suggest a shift in direction. As chancellor of the New York schools,

“

Research was clear even before No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top that more testing would do little to improve education.”

King faced an historic vote of no-confidence by the teachers union and calls for his resignation by parent groups due to his obsession with testing. The Department of Education continues to call for annual testing and for making high-stakes decisions based on whether or not test scores rise, including whether to fail students, remove teachers, close schools and defund teacherpreparation programs. This is despite testing experts and even the test-makers themselves calling these high-pressure tactics a misuse of test scores. In just the past few months, more states have shown skepticism over the assessments for the Common Core State Standards and have reversed or delayed earlier plans to require these tests for high-stakes decisions. These are wise decisions because no compelling body of research exists that suggests the Common Core and the tests connected to it will improve achievement or close gaps. This fall, as Congress works to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and as the department prepares for a new secretary, the American public should demand a shift in direction. We need to reorient our schools away from testing. — Kevin Kumashiro is dean of the University of San Francisco School of Education.

of fund transfers and “allotment” cuts. Among the adjustments announced Friday are: l Sweeping $47.9 million out of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s highway fund. l Sweeping $9 million out of the Children’s Initiative Fund. l Reducing pension contributions by $15.7 million, reflecting revised estimates of those costs. l Reducing Medicaid expenditures in nonmandatory spending by $25.1 million. l And cutting $3 million out of state subsidies into a fund that draws down additional Medicaid funds for hospitals and nursing homes. The plan also includes $14 million in cuts and transfers that will require legislative approval next year, including a $5 million cut to the Kansas Bioscience Authority. Sullivan said the fund sweep out of KDOT would not affect any major improvement or system expansion projects in the ongoing highway program known as T-Works. But he said it would cause a delay in some of the “preservation” programs that are intended to prevent the need for major repairs in the future. Legislative Democrats were quick to criticize the administration for what they called fiscal mismanagement of the state’s budget and revenues. “We’ve just had colossal mismanagement for the last several years by this administration,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka. “We’ve got to go back in and revisit the

2012 and 2013 income tax cut if we’re going to have any future stability within the budget.” When pressed, Hensley acknowledged that should include both the business and individual income tax cuts that were enacted. House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, however, continued to insist that Democrats do not need to offer a proposal of their own. “I don’t think we need to present a plan at this time,” he said. “I think we’ll see what the revenue estimates will be at the end of the year, and we’ll move accordingly.” Republican leaders, on the other hand, tried to cast the revenue numbers in a positive light. “Kansans are no longer paying the highest work and productivity tax in the Midwest, and I am confident we would be in far worse shape had the tax cuts never happened,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita. “The Kansas Senate is focused on the path ahead — funding core services and making sure the private sector grows, not the government.” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, applauded the governor’s actions. “The American economy is struggling, and we’re seeing that here in Kansas,” he said. “The governor recognizes that and made some difficult decisions today. I applaud the efficiencies he found.”

state general fund was at or near zero. But he insisted the state is not in a fiscal or budgetary crisis, and that the state should not have to delay any payments due to public schools or Medicaid providers. “One of the things I would (use to) judge whether or not that’s the case is, are we paying our bills, are we paying them in full, and are we paying them on time,” Sullivan said. “And we have. There have not been any late payments since January 2011, as compared to that happening 24 times in the previous eight years.” Total taxes flowing into the state are now estimated at just over $6 billion for the current fiscal year. That’s only abut $324 million, or 5.7 percent, more than the state took in the previous year. But much of that is the result of significant hikes lawmakers approved this year in retail sales and tobacco taxes. The biggest culprits in that downturn are expected to be retail sales taxes, which have not been meeting projections this year, despite the higher rate; severance taxes, which have fallen due to declining oil and gas prices; and corporate income taxes. All told, officials said the revised estimates put the state in a projected $118.2 million hole for the current year, which prompted the administration to announce a series

Strong jobs report points to a Fed rate hike October’s figures suggest Aug.-Sept. weakness was a ‘blip’ Paul Davidson USA TODAY

The labor market bounced back strongly in October as employers added 271,000 jobs, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next month. The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey, fell to 5% — lowest since April 2008 — from 5.1% despite a sharp rise in the number of Americans looking for work, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists

surveyed by Bloomberg estimated 182,000 jobs were created, according to their median forecast. Equally encouraging is that average hourly earnings rose 9 cents, to $25.20, and are now up 2.5% over the past year, the biggest jump since 2009, after sluggish gains of about 2% for most of the recovery. That should give the Fed confidence that inflation is picking up and a rate increase next month may be warranted. Also, the modest job gains for August and September, which averaged 139,000, were revised up 12,000.

And a broader measure of unemployment — that includes parttime workers and discouraged Americans who have given up job searches, as well as the unemployed — fell to 9.8% from 10%. In October, private employers added 260,000 jobs, fueled by broad-based gains in professional and business services, health care, retail and construction. Federal, state and local governments added 3,000. The report “confirms that the weakness in August and September was just a temporary blip and, given the circumstances, a De-

President Obama announced Friday that his administration has rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline project after more than six years of review. “The State Department has decided that the Keystone XL pipeline would not serve the national interest of the United States,” Obama said in a 10-minute announcement at the White House with Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Biden. “I agree with that decision.” But even as he rejected it, Obama downplayed the importance of the decision, saying the project had an “over-inflated role in Reaction our political discourse.” The fast, pipeline, he furious said, was nei- Republicans, ther a “silver Ryan blast bullet for the decision, 3B economy” nor “the express lane to climate disaster.” Obama combined his statement on the Keystone rejection with a comment on Friday’s positive jobs report, saying the latter proves that the economy is expanding and that the pipeline would make little difference. “So while our politics have been consumed by debate over whether or not this pipeline would create jobs and lower gas prices, we have gone ahead and created jobs and lowered gas prices,” he said. Obama said he spoke Friday morning to Justin Trudeau, the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister who had supported the project. “While he expressed his disappointment, given Canada’s position on this issue, we both agreed that our close friendship on a whole range of issues, including energy and climate change, should provide the basis for even closer coordination between our countries going WASHINGTON

Reports dispute Carson’s bio, may imperil his campaign No West Point offer; violent past in doubt Kathleen Gray Detroit Free Press

Increased scrutiny into Ben Carson’s personal history and the candidate’s responses are creating questions about how long Carson will be able to stay in the race. “Unless he is some kind of political jiujitsu master, I really do think that this is the end for him,” said Katie Packer, a Washington political consultant who served as deputy campaign manager for

2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Two published accounts this week have called into question Carson’s portrayal of his early years as a pathologically angry youth prone to violence against his friends. A CNN story included interviews with people they identified as Carson’s childhood friends in Detroit who had no recollections of the violent encounters Carson describes in his book Gifted Hands. In an interview with CNN, Carson called their story “a bunch of lies” and “pathetic.” He declined to reveal the identity of the victims of his youthful violence,

Ben Carson says people identified as childhood friends told CNN “a bunch of lies.”

saying they preferred to remain anonymous. “If you choose not to believe it, if it doesn’t fit the narrative that you want, that’s fine. Let’s let the American people decide,” Carson told CNN. “Unless I have specific permission to use their names, it’s inappropriate for me to do so.” A story by Politico Friday revealed that claims by Carson that he had been accepted to West Point and was offered a full scholarship were inaccurate. The story has been repeated by Carson in his books and in appearances over the years. The campaign acknowledged Friday that while Carson was a member of ROTC as a high

school student in Detroit, he never applied for admission to West Point. In an interview with The New York Times Friday, Carson said: “I don’t remember all the specific details. Because I had done so extraordinarily well, you know, I was told that someone like me — they could get a scholarship to West Point. But I made it clear I was going to pursue a career in medicine.” “To have written this in a book and it’s such a major discrepancy. I don’t think you can call it a gaffe,” said Chris Arterton, a professor of political management at George Washington University.

Supreme Court to rule on birth control mandate Battle pits advocates of religious freedom vs. proponents of reproductive rights Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to settle a widespread dispute between the Obama administration and religious non-profits over insurance coverage for birth control, which is sure to elevate issues of religious freedom and reproductive rights in next year’s presidential campaign. The justices agreed to hear a challenge to the Affordable Care Act from seven non-profit organizations claiming religious objections, marking the second time in three years the so-called “contraceptive mandate” has come before the court — and the fourth time in five years it has faced off against President Obama’s signature health care law. Sixteen months after ruling narrowly that private companies with religious objections cannot be forced to pay for employees’ contraceptives, the high court has been met with a chorus of cries from religious charities, schools and hospitals seeking to get out of the birth control business altogether. The new challenge asks the justices to overturn federal appeals court decisions that would force the WASHINGTON

non-profit groups to take action to opt out of the requirement, rather than receiving the blanket exclusion granted churches and other solely religious institutions. On one hand, the court has saved Obamacare from legal destruction twice, in 2012 and again this year. But it ruled last year closely held corporations, such as arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby, whose owners object to contraception, could hand off providing free coverage of birth control to insurers or others. The solution, the court said, would be for those companies to inform the government or their insurance providers in writing that they would not pay for birth control, at which point the insurer would pay for it directly. Religious non-profits already had been granted such an accommodation after lengthy negotiations, but they say even writing a letter or filling out a form makes them complicit. The petitions to a court generally protective of religious rights have come mostly from Catholic leaders in New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, as well as religious schools, universities, hospitals and charities. Some object to paying for any contraceptives, others just for those

they equate with abortion. Lawyers for the Little Sisters of the Poor argued in their petition that “the government has put them to the impossible choice of either violating the law or violating the faith upon which their lives and ministry are based.” It said the nuns believe that the opt-out method offered as a solution “would make them morally complicit in grave sin.” Mark Rienzi, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents Little Sisters, noted the Obama administration had recommended the court grant only one case, filed in Washington, D.C. Instead, the justices accepted all the cases pending before them, which will be consolidated for oral argument, most likely in March. “The government’s on a bit of a losing streak at the Supreme Court on this issue,” Rienzi said. Until last month, none of the federal appeals courts to hear the complaints sided with the non-profits’ claim that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act shields them from complying with the law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in a case brought by the Archbishop of Washington, said those who opt out “are excused from playing any role in

Nuns from the Little Sisters of the Poor gathered in New York in September for Pope Francis’ visit.

the provision of contraceptive services, and they remain free to condemn contraception in the clearest terms.” Perhaps tipping its hand, the Supreme Court in several cases blocked those rulings from taking effect until the appeals process plays out. Otherwise, non-profits could have been liable for fines of up to $100 per day for each uncovered worker.

Then in September, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals came down on the other side, placing what the objectors believe above what the opt-out method provides. “We conclude that compelling their participation in the accommodation process by threat of severe monetary penalty is a substantial burden on their exercise of religion,” the court said. That ruling created a split among appeals courts that the Supreme Court has to resolve. The battle, like the Hobby Lobby case that preceded it, pits reproductive rights against religious liberty. Abortion rights groups say any additional obstacles placed in their way, including employer exemptions, raises the risk of unplanned and risky pregnancies. Religious freedom groups say the Obama administration can guarantee women coverage for contraceptives without forcing employers with religious objections to provide it. Whatever the Supreme Court decides, it’s not likely to end the dispute. A ruling for the nonprofits could prompt for-profit corporations to seek the same deal. And a District of Columbia district judge ruled in August that the anti-abortion group March for Life did not have to comply with the law on moral, rather than religious, grounds.

forward.” He also confirmed publicly for the first time that he will attend the international climate conference in Paris in three weeks and said the United States must lead by example. The final determination on Keystone comes 2,604 days after Transcanada first applied for State Department approval to build the 1,179-mile cross-border pipeline from Alberta or Nebraska. Earlier this week, the State Department rejected the company’s

request to delay a final determination. The State Department had received more than 5 million comments on the proposal. Under an executive order signed by President George W. Bush, the application triggered reviews by the departments of State, Defense, Justice, Interior, Commerce, Transportation, Energy, Homeland Security and the Environmental Protection Agency. The final decision rests with the Secretary of State unless any agency disagreed, in which case the final determination is made by the president.

Most agencies had no objections, with the Interior Department and the EPA expressing the strongest concerns. In the end, Kerry said all eight agencies consulted on the State Department determination agreed. Kerry’s determination was signed Tuesday but announced Friday. As those reviews dragged on, Congress passed a bill in February that would have short-circuited that review and approved the pipeline. Obama vetoed that bill, saying it undercut the established procedure and didn’t allow for a thorough determination of whether the pipeline is in the na-

tional interest. Transcanada said it remains “absolutely committed” to the project. But while lauded by environmentalists, labor unions called the decision “shameful.” “President Obama today demonstrated that he cares more about kowtowing to green-collar elitists than he does about creating desperately needed, familysupporting, blue-collar jobs,” said Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the the Laborers’ International Union of North America. Republicans touted the project as a job creator, often making

claims it would create as many as 42,000 jobs. But the vast majority of those jobs were temporary or supplier jobs. Once built over two years, the pipeline was expected to employ less than 50 people. The decision sets up what could be a key issue in the 2016 campaign, as Republicans tie the decision to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of State who began the review and opposes the project. As Obama spoke, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio vowed to re-instate the pipeline if he wins the White House.

Ranger School puts soldiers through grueling training in which they are deprived of rest and are tested for leadership.

Five women fail Army’s Ranger training course Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The five women soldiers in the Army’s latest class of Ranger School have failed to qualify for the next phase of training, a Defense official said Friday. The women were part of a class of 417 soldiers who began the physical assessment phase of training Nov. 1. Of that number, 199 soldiers, all men, have passed on to the next portion of training. The Army does not disclose information about the gender of the Ranger trainees, or that of the other schools at Fort Benning, said Bob Purtiman, a spokesman at the post. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to speak publicly about the course, said the disqualification of the women shows the Army has not lowered its standards for Ranger training. WASHINGTON

All of the services are under scrutiny — from troops, veterans and members of Congress — as they move toward a Dec. 31 deadline to open all military jobs, including elite special forces, to women. To bar women from a discipline, the services must petition Defense Secretary Ash Carter with data to show why they must be excluded. Three women have graduated this year from the Army’s elite Ranger school: Capt. Kristen Griest, Lt. Shaye Haver and Maj. Lisa Jaster. They received the coveted Ranger tab in courses that were designed to assess how women could be integrated into the training. The other 19 women in the assessment courses failed to qualify. In September, the Army announced all further classes would be open to all regardless of gender. Ranger School puts soldiers through grueling training in which they are deprived of sleep and rest and are tested for leadership.

SHARM EL - SHEIKH , EGYPT Russian President Vladimir Putin halted all Russian flights to Egypt on Friday as an investigation continues into what caused the crash of a Russian jetliner last weekend. Meanwhile, British tourists stranded at the airport in Sharm el-Sheikh, a resort town in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, were hoping to come home Friday, but many will be stuck here for at least a few more days. Airlines from several countries canceled flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh beginning Wednesday, stranding thousands of tourists, after a Russian jetliner crashed last weekend shortly after taking off from the airport, killing all 224 people on board. British and U.S. officials have said in recent days that they believe a bomb may have brought the airliner down. An unnamed crash investigator told France 2 television station that the voice recorder aboard the flight captured the sound of an explosion that wasn’t associated with engine failure. French investigators are participating in the review because the Airbus 321-200 that crashed was manufactured there. Putin on Friday reacted promptly to a suggestion by Russian intelligence chief Alexander Bortnikov, who said it would be “reasonable” to suspend flights. The investigation could take months, starving the resort community that is popular among Russian and British tourists. Jeh Johnson, U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, called Friday for security enhancements at unnamed airports “in the region” to better screen items brought on planes. Johnson said the steps both seen and unseen are aimed at improving security while the cause of the Metrojet crash is investigated. Foreign airlines and

Long lines of tourists coursed through the Sharm El-Sheikh airport Friday as they wait in anticipation of planned flights.

“We know nothing, the airlines have been absolutely useless.” Joseph Day, British traveler

airports must meet Transportation Security Administration standards for direct flights to the U.S., although Sharm el-Sheikh doesn’t have such flights. Hossam Kamal, Egypt’s civil aviation minister, said there would be eight flights to the U.K. on Friday, instead of the 29 planned. Airport storage halls couldn’t accommodate 120 tons of passenger luggage left behind, so a cargo plane is planned to carry baggage of departing passengers on the same day, Kamal said. About 20,000 U.K. tourists are stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh and 30,000 to 40,000 Russians are stuck in Egypt overall, mainly in the resort town. On Friday evening, with no end in sight for delays, some stranded passengers on British flights decided to travel by land to Cairo and take flights home from the Egyptian capital. “If people from Wednesday haven’t left yet, how am I going to leave tomorrow?” asked Joseph Day, a British traveler carrying luggage outside an airline office inside Sharm El Sheikh airport,

after his Friday flight on Monarch Airlines was canceled. “We know nothing, the airlines have been absolutely useless.” British budget carrier easyJet had planned to operate 10 flights out of the Sinai resort on Friday, but said eight of those flights were scratched because Egypt had suspended them. “We are continuing to work with the Egyptian authorities and the U.K. government to get our customers back home as soon as possible,” easyJet said in a statement. “We continue to work on a contingency plan so we can operate as soon as we receive permission to fly.” Carla Dublin, a 35-year-old mother from London whose easyJet flight was canceled, said travelers are getting no explanation for why they’re stuck. “We don’t know what and why,” Dublin said. “Obviously, it’s not security anymore because they are letting planes land.” Sarah Kemp, who was scheduled to fly back Friday with her husband and two small children on an easyJet flight, said she didn’t know how long it would take to get their luggage back. “We don’t know when — they said seven days, but we don’t know when or how,” said Kemp, who was originally scheduled to fly Wednesday.

REACTION TO KEYSTONE PIPELINE REJECTION FAST, FURIOUS, DIVERSE

Obama: Environmental liability outweighs any potential economic gains Rick Jervis @MrRJervis USA TODAY

Reaction to President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline project Friday was fast, furious and generally predictable, with environmentalists and Democrats mostly applauding the move and Republicans and oil industry officials assailing it. Obama’s decision not only prevents thousands of barrels a day of the heavy crude from Canada’s tar sands from traveling over U.S. soil but also cements the USA’s leadership role in climate change globally, said Anthony Swift, director of the Canada Project at the National Resources Defense Council, which has strongly opposed the pipeline. “It’s a clear signal to the international community that the United States is serious about addressing climate change,” he said. U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, Republican chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, blasted the president’s decision, saying the project could have strengthened America’s energy infrastructure. “President Obama has put the final nail in the Keystone XL pipeline’s coffin, thereby nailing his legacy as the most anti-energy extremist President the nation has ever had,” Bishop said in a statement. “This is one of the most radical and dangerous moves that the President could make in his final term.” Russ Girling, president and chief executive of TransCanada, the Canadian firm that would build the pipeline, expressed his disappointment in a lengthy statement, saying the pipeline was safer than transporting the crude through trains and trucks across the USA and would lead to 9,000 immediate American jobs. “Today’s decision deals a damaging blow to jobs, the economy and the environment on both sides of the border,” the statement said. The 1,179-mile pipeline exten-

sion would transport tar sand oil from Canada to Nebraska, then be transported to refineries in Texas, carrying some 830,000 barrels each day. The project became a politically contentious issue. Supporters say it would create jobs and increase the USA’s energy security. Critics maintain the heavy crude transported across U.S. heartland creates a risk of fouling lakes, rivers and aquifers and mostly benefits Canada’s oil industry. In his remarks, Obama tempered the debate by saying the project was neither as radically bad for the environment as some activists claimed or as great for the economy as others proclaimed. In the end, he said environmental liability outweighed any potential economic gains. Said Obama: “The pipeline will not make a meaningful contribution to our economy. If Congress was serious about creating jobs, this was not the way to do it.” The debate quickly moved to social media sites, where both sides aired their remarks. “Thousands of high quality energy sector jobs will be left on the altar of Obama’s environmental extremism,” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican presidential candidate, said via Twitter. Former Vice President Al Gore countered on his Twitter account: “@POTUS’ decision to reject the Keystone Pipeline today is an inspiring step in #ClimateAction leading to #COP21!”, referring to a climate forum being held in Paris next month. In Nebraska, where the pipeline would be built, activists applauded the president’s decision, reveling after a five-year fight against bringing the project across their state lines. Environmentalists there were mostly concerned about the proposed project’s proximity to the Ogalla Aquifer, said Ken Winston, a former Nebraska Sierra Club advocate. “There are going to be celebrations,” he said.

Republicans blast decision; ‘it is sickening,’ Speaker Ryan says Paul Singer and Erin Kelly USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Republicans in Congress blasted President Obama’s decision Friday to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and vowed to revive the project if the GOP wins the White House in 2016. “This decision isn’t surprising, but it is sickening,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis. “By rejecting this pipeline, the president is rejecting tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

He is rejecting our largest trading partner and energy supplier. He is rejecting the will of the American people and a bipartisan majority of the Congress.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the pipeline is too vital to America’s economy to let die. “Given this project’s importance to North American energy independence, the question still remains not if, but when, Keystone will be built,” he said in a statement. While Congress cannot overturn Obama’s decision, Republi-

cans said they will work together to reverse it if a GOP candidate wins the White House next year. “When I’m president, Keystone will be approved, and President Obama’s backward energy policies will come to an end,” said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president. But Democrats with long records of environmental advocacy hailed the decision as a victory for the environment. “I want to thank the Obama administration for protecting the health of the American people and the health of the planet by rejecting the ill-advised Keystone tar sands pipeline, which would have brought the filthiest oil known to humankind into our country in large amounts,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, the senior Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Obama “made the right decision.” “As I’ve long said, the Keystone Pipeline is nothing but a favor to special interests who seek to let a Canadian company ship foreign oil to China. It would harm our environment while doing nothing to promote energy independence,” he said. Not all Democrats were happy. “After about seven years of exhaustive studies and delays, the administration finally made a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline — unfortunately, it made a decision purely driven by politics that ignored the facts,” said Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D.

IN BRIEF CHICAGO BOY, 9, KILLED IN CHICAGO ALLEY

Police in Chicago are searching for the people responsible for luring a 9-year-old boy into an alley and executing him, an apparent retaliation hit that investigators believe was connected to the boy’s father’s gang ties. A funeral will be held Tuesday for Tyshawn Lee, whose lifeless body was found riddled with bullets this week in an alley on the city’s South Side. Nearby, police also found the basketball that Tyshawn carried everywhere. The brutality of the killing reverberated in a city that has seen a surge of brutal gun violence. Chicago has recorded 421 homicides in 2015, more than any city in the U.S. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy characterized Tyshawn’s killing as perhaps the most brutal crime he has seen in a long career that included stints in leadership positions in New York and Newark. “Tyshawn Lee was murdered in probably the most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime that I’ve witnessed in 35 years of

The driver that sped through a crowded street during last year’s

SXSW music festival in Austin, killing four people and injuring more than 20 others, was found guilty of capital murder Friday and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Rashad Owens, 23, sat in a dark suit and blue tie as the judge announced the verdict and sen-

tence. Several onlookers in the courtroom, including relatives of the victims, hugged or dabbed at eyes welling with tears. Police said Owens, an aspiring rapper, was in town to perform at a nightclub when Austin police tried to pull him over along a downtown street at around 12:30 a.m. on March 13, 2014, for driving without his headlights on. Owens sped away, speeding through a gas station, driving the wrong way down a one-way street, crashing through traffic barricades and speeding north on Red River Street, which was crowded with festival goers waiting in line to get into some of the nightclubs, police said. Witnesses later recalled seeing bodies flying over the runaway car, as it clipped pedestrians and continued up the street, where it hit a moped, taxi and bicyclist before hopping a sidewalk and striking a van, according to a police report. Owens tried to flee on foot, but police arrested him. Prosecutors at the trial said Owens was drunk and was avoiding a traffic stop. — Rick Jervis

MONEYLINE CONSUMER BORROWING SHOWS RECORD INCREASE U.S. consumer borrowing jumped by a record amount in September, driven higher by big gains in borrowing for auto and student loans. The Federal Reserve says consumer borrowing increased $28.9 billion, the largest one-month increase on record going back to 1941. It followed a gain of $16 billion in August and pushed total consumer borrowing to an all-time high of $3.5 trillion.

FRIDAY MARKETS INDEX

stock market volatility rattled business confidence. The government estimated last week that economic growth slowed to 1.5% at an annual pace in the third quarter from 3.9% in the previous quarter. With markets rallying in recent weeks and U.S. consumer demand holding up well, many employers went ahead and filled openings in October, some of which languished for weeks. Overall, job growth has averaged 187,000 the past three months — only modestly below the 190,000 to 200,000 clip that Moody roughly expects in coming months and throughout 2016. “Another blowout month as good as October is … a long shot,” IHS chief economist Nariman Behravesh wrote in a note to clients. A positive sign, however, is that manufacturing payrolls were unchanged last month after a series of cuts, with many sectors adding staffers. And oil company layoffs eased. Those at least could be harbingers that a strong dollar and oil prices will be neutral to growth in coming months, rather than the drags they’ve posed, Moody says. Also, although job advances were revised up by only a net

he government’s blockbuster jobs report Friday likely reflects a labor market and economy that are returning to a solid pace of growth after slumping in late summer rather than shifting into a higher gear, economists say. Still, the encouraging report was enough to stoke optimism that the global headwinds that have dampened growth in recent months are at least easing and that wage increases may finally be picking up in earnest. The 271,000 job gains reported by the Labor Department likely represent “some catch up,” says Richard Moody, chief economist of Regions Financial. Payroll gains averaged 145,000 in August and September, well below this year’s 235,000 monthly pace. In other words, employers had the need to hire in those latesummer months, but global turmoil and a strong dollar hurt exports and gave them pause. Meanwhile, low oil prices dampened energy company investment and related production. And

U.S. life insurance giant MetLife could face a “significant fine” for alleged violations of rules regarding sales of the retirement-income products known as variable annuities. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority notified the New York-based company on Sept. 25 that it will recommend disciplinary action against MetLife’s affiliated broker-dealer, the firm disclosed in a quarterly filing Thursday. The action by the Wall Street self-regulatory body would cover violations of FINRA rules “regarding alleged misrepresentations, suitability and supervision in connection with sales and replacements of variable annuities and certain riders on such annuities,” the filing said. Variable annuities are tax-deferred retirement products that let investors select among a variety of investment options. The product is a contract between an investor and an insurance company in which the insurer agrees to make periodic payments. Although variable annuities

are a popular retirement-income option, the Securities and Exchange Commission cautions that charges and fees assessed with the products “will reduce the value of your account and the return on your investment.” MetLife is cooperating with FINRA’s investigation, the company filing said. But the insurance giant separately issued a statement saying it disagreed with the conclusions reached by FINRA and “will defend ourselves vigorously.” While MetLife did not disclose an estimate of the size of the potential FINRA penalty, the company did say that it is fully reserved for the cost. MetLife shares closed up 3.59% at $51.69 after retreating from higher intraday gains.

Job seekers speak with recruiters at the Quad Cities career fair in Moline, Ill., on Oct. 14.

12,000 in August and September, the private-sector total was pushed up by 56,000, indicating that those months were not as weak as previously believed. Perhaps the most heartening part of the report was a 2.5% annual pickup in wages, up from 2.2% the previous month and the strongest yearly gain since 2009. Still, wage growth the past two years has shown signs of accelerating, only to fall back to a sluggish 2% pace. “It will take a few more months of solid increases before we can say a trend is in place,” says Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors. Moody believes the near-normal 5% unemployment rate will, in fact, push up wages as employers compete for fewer available workers. But he says the rise will be gradual as annual wage growth reaches about 3% by the end of next year.

Maybe it’s time to stop dissing the big banks — or at least a couple of them. Barring some unexpected surprisingly good news, it’s pretty clear the third quarter is going to end up being the first time Corporate America has suffered a year-over-year earnings drop since 2009. And a lot has been said about how weak results from the energy sector largely are to blame. But what about how two big banks went a long way in preventing the earnings picture from being even worse?

If your portfolio is diversified, no need to fight Fed Q: Should I bail on stocks if rates rise? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Fighting the Fed is not advisable. But bailing on stocks because higher rates might be coming isn’t a great idea. Higher short-term interest rates can alter the course of the stock market. Increased borrowing costs for consumers and businesses can cool the economy. Higher interest expenses also eat into companies’ profits. When rates rise, some investors might decide to sell stock as they deem the extra risk isn’t worth it. The S&P’s average returns in the six months following an initial Fed rate increase is 75% lower than in the six months prior to the hike. Traders will try to profit from the increasing odds a rate hike is coming in December. Financial stocks, for instance, were initial winners Friday coming off the better-than-expected jobs numbers, which paved the way for a short-term interest rate hike in December. But long-term investors know that if they have the right portfolio, adjustments by the Fed don’t really affect their strategy. Emerging markets tend to perform well, and they should be part of your portfolio. And some parts of the U.S. market do OK, too, like energy and consumer goods. If you’re diversified, you don’t have to fight the Fed. Just swim along with it.

American Apparel’s controversial ex-CEO says he’s broke Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The controversial former CEO of bankrupt retailer American Apparel said he’s broke. Dov Charney, who was fired in 2014 after a tumultuous reign, told a Delaware judge Wednesday that he can’t afford a lawyer in a legal battle connected to the retailer’s troubles, according to a document obtained by USA TODAY. The founder is the target of a lawsuit from hedge fund Stan-

dard General, a major American Apparel investor involved in its restructuring, over a deal they made in 2014 involving Charney’s attempt to regain control of the company. In a letter to a Delaware Chancery Court judge, Charney said he may have to continue to defend himself in the lawsuit if he can’t find new lawyers in Delaware “willing to work with me.” “As you may know, I was fired by American Apparel, the company I founded in Montreal over three decades ago, with no severance or otherwise,” Charney wrote. “All of my shareholder in-

The address Charney lists on the letter is an 11,000-plussquare-foot mansion in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood,

according to Trulia. Charney, who owned more than 5% of the company when it filed for bankruptcy last month, has been the source of much controversy in recent years. He is the target of several lawsuits alleging sexual harassment for what accusers described as his inappropriate behavior in the office. He sued American Apparel over his exit and Standard General over their deal. Charney made headlines for airing sexualized ads featuring young women and bragging about a “sweatshop-free,” madein-the-USA business model.

Sara Bareilles has a new album, a recent book and a Broadway musical opening this spring.

On ‘Waitress’ album, Bareilles serves up a new perspective Singer/songwriter related to heroine’s flaws and creativity Elysa Gardner @ElysaGardner USA TODAY

NEW YORK Pouring herself a cup of herbal tea at a downtown restaurant, Sara Bareilles is the picture of serene composure. You’d never guess she has been working like a maniac for the better part of two years. The singer/songwriter of empowering hits such as Brave and Love Song began unveiling the fruits of that labor last summer. The stage musical Waitress — an adaptation of the 2007 Adrienne Shelly film, with music and lyrics by Bareilles — opened at Cambridge’s American Repertory Theater in August. In October, Simon & Schuster published Sounds Like Me: My Life (so far) in Song, a collection of “confessional” essays. Now comes the release of

What’s Inside: Songs From Waitress, featuring tunes from the musical — which is due on Broadway next spring. Previews are scheduled to start March 25 for an opening April 26. “It was an act of self-indulgence,” Bareilles, 35, says of the album, out Friday. “I couldn’t quite pass off the show without getting a chance to sing these songs myself.” Bareilles was first approached about the book and musical during the same period — ironically, while taking a “mini-hiatus” from recording and touring. “I was hanging out with my sister,” she recalls, when she was contacted by her literary agent and by Diane Paulus, the Tony Award-winning director of recent Broadway revivals of Pippin and Hair, about Waitress. Though a fan of musicals since childhood — favorites range from Oklahoma! to Chess — Bareilles had never seen the film Waitress before. Watching it, she was immediately attracted to the heroine, Jenna (played by Keri Russell), an inventive piemaker

Jessie Mueller plays the lead role in the new musical Waitress. The score was written by Bareilles.

trapped in an abusive marriage. “I really loved how flawed and messy Jenna is,” Bareilles says. “I liked that she was a soulful, creative person trying to find an authentic way to express herself.” She found “so much natural similarity between the character and myself that it wasn’t a stretch to find my way in” to record the songs herself. “She’s someone who has a great capacity for love but feels very broken sometimes.” Bareilles first saw Jessie Mueller, the actress who would play Jenna on stage, in her Tony-winning performance in the title role of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. “She was so grounded and graceful and just had so much heart,” Bareilles says.

Both Waitress’ leading lady and its composer/lyricist earned good notices in Cambridge, though Bareilles hasn’t read them. “I don’t really read reviews. My theory is the good ones inflate your ego, and the bad ones can just ruin you. I’ve found it’s more productive to stay in the room with what I’ve created, rather than worry about how it’s being perceived.” Working on Waitress made Bareilles realize how much she herself has grown since her 20s. “When I made my first album, I was so overwhelmed that I don’t think I was able to enjoy it,” she says. “It’s nice to be in a place where I can create something new and realize how precious it is.”

That ‘Fargo’ scene seems familiar Gary Levin

@GaryMLevin USA TODAY

If you’re a fan of FX’s Fargo, the closing scene of Monday’s episode might have felt familiar. In last year’s first-season finale, Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine) sat on his porch, idly tying a rope knot with a rifle nearby, protecting his family from conniving bad guy Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton). “Did you ever do this before? Stand guard?” his granddaughter asks. “One other time,” Solverson replies. “Winter of 1979. Minus-4 degrees. I sat on a dark porch from dusk til dawn.” Fast-forward — or rather backward — to this season, in which Lou is the only returning major character. He’s 27 years younger, played by Patrick Wilson, and working as a Minnesota state policeman. This time, his cancer-stricken wife steps onto a patio where Lou, a Vietnam War veteran toting a gun and that piece of rope, is once again guarding the homestead, this time from the Gerhardt organized-crime family

Patrick Wilson stars as Lou Solverson in a Season 2 scene of Fargo. looking into the death of their son Rye. “I’ll sit out here for a while, make sure we’re safe.” It’s no coincidence, says creator Noah Hawley, who late last season surreptitiously began planting seeds for what would become the second installment of the acclaimed miniseries, inspired by Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1996 movie. The reference was first intended as merely a hint of a backstory for Lou, but “the more I thought about it, I thought if we did another (season) of these, it might be nice to set up a story the audience is intrigued by and might

want to see. So I set up more references in the last couple of hours,” he says — including Lou’s mention of an earlier massacre at Sioux Falls in a diner scene with Lorne. (On the body count: “If you stacked them high, could’ve climbed to the second floor.”) That massacre will prove a climactic part of this season. In some ways, those harbingers boxed in writers plotting new episodes. (The new shooting location in Calgary, Alberta, had no porch, “which became an incredible drama” behind the scenes, Hawley says.) This year, Solverson plays a

“pivotal heroic role” that hasn’t existed in Fargo’s universe before, Hawley says. “Here’s a man, he’s been to war, he feels responsible for Peggy and Ed,” the unlucky couple (played by Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons) who are unintended culprits in the death of murderous Rye. In Monday’s episode, “He sort of figures out they’re involved, and goes to see them and basically tries to give them a way out and they won’t take it,” Hawley says. “He also knows there’s a difference between criminals and really bad people, and people who’ve just gotten in over their heads.”

Kansas soccer reaches Big 12 finals By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

No mercy

Kansas City, Mo. — Friday was an all-around milestone day for Kansas University’s soccer program, as the Jayhawks advanced to the Big 12 tournament championship game for the first time in school history with a 2-0 victory over Baylor at Swope Soccer Village. “We’re so happy right now,” senior Liana Salazar said. “I think we deserve it. We have played really good during all our season.” Salazar made some history of her own to lead the No. 6-seeded Jayhawks past the No. 2 Bears in the semifinal matchup by scoring both of KU’s goals. The senior from Bogota, Colombia, put KU on the board in the 35th minute after freshman Grace Hagan dribbled in and out of traffic in the corner before finding Salazar at the top of the 18-yard box. Salazar ripped her 27th career goal past BU goalkeeper Sara Martinson, and moved into sole possession of second place on KU’s all-time list. Caroline Smith owns Kansas’ all-time record with 51 career goals. “It means a lot to me just to be able to make history today,” Salazar said. “I’m Please see SOCCER, page 5C

Firebirds crush Wichita West, 49-0 By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

More than satisfied after a dominating victory to open the Class 6A state playoffs, Free State High’s football players weren’t hungry, but they couldn’t stop talking about doughnuts. After disposing of visiting Wichita West, 49-0, Friday night at FSHS, it was the zero on the scoreboard, and not thoughts of fried dough, that had the Firebirds feeling gluttonous. The romp marked Free State’s second

shutout win in a row and seventh straight victory since opening the season 0-3. The Pioneers (5-5) had put up 39 points or more in each of their victories this season and hadn’t scored fewer than 21 points — until they met Free State (7-3). “It’s nice to get another doughnut on the scoreboard,” senior linebacker and running back Sam Skwarlo said afterward. Senior defensive back and quarterback Bryce Torneden said Free State’s coaching

staff prepared the players all week for the dominating performance, in which FSHS only allowed 118 yards (all on the ground) and eight first downs, leading to a running clock early in the fourth quarter, once the Firebirds led by 49 points. From the opening quarter, the likes of junior linebacker Jay Dineen, junior lineman Noah Kema and senior linebacker Paul Bittinger popped West runners for little to no gain. “(The coaches) put in the game plan,” Torneden said,

Lions rip SMN, 56-32, go to 10-0 By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Lawrence High’s football team has struggled to score points this season, the defense has stepped up with big plays to bail the offense out. On Friday, the Lions’ offense returned the favor. In a game with more than 1,000 yards of offense, the Lions won the shootout and advanced in the Class 6A state playoffs with a 56-32 victory over Shawnee Mission North at LHS. The top-ranked Lions (10-0) produced 560 yards of their own with an accurate passing attack and their usual dominant run game, scoring on their first three drives. “There’s been games where the offense hasn’t been doing too well, and the defense has stepped up,” LHS senior quarterback Alan Clothier said. “I knew

tonight was going to be one of those nights that we were going to have to step up, and we did.” The Indians (3-7) trailed by only 10 points midway through the third quarter following a 10-yard touchdown run by SM North junior running back Marco Garcia, who finished with 137 yards. But every time the Indians tried to claw back, the Lions responded with a score. LHS senior running back JD Woods ran for a six-yard touchdown for a 35-18 advantage in the third quarter. On the next defensive possession, the Lions forced a three-and-out and SM North’s first and only punt of the game. LHS senior lineman Trey Georgie partially blocked the punt, giving the Lions a short field. Three plays later, Woods Please see LIONS, page 3C

Temple bounces back to beat SMU The Associated Press

No. 23 Temple 60, SMU 40 Dallas — P.J. Walker threw four touchdowns passes and ran for another score, freshman Jager Gardner had a 94yard scoring run on Temple’s second play, and the Owls beat SMU on Friday night. Gardner had zero yards rushing for the season when he broke through the middle of the line for the longest run

in Temple history and a quick boost coming off a close highprofile loss to Notre Dame. Walker’s final touchdown pass was a 75-yarder to Ventell Bryant the first play after Matt Davis pulled the Mustangs to 38-31 on a 30-yard scoring toss to Jeremiah Gaines early in the fourth quarter. Temple went ahead for good at 21-17 when Walker found Romond Deloatch for a 16-yard touchdown strike with 24 seconds left in the first half.

Blue-chip prep Giles headed to Duke By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Harry Giles, with his mom seated to his right and his Oak Hill Academy coach to his left, grabbed a Duke hat that was hidden under a chair and placed it on his head, revealing his college choice Friday morning on ESPN. Giles, a 6-foot-10 senior forward from the Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, prep school who is ranked No. 2 nationally, chose the Blue Devils over Kansas University, Wake Forest and Kentucky. “I feel like Duke was the place for me. Every time I go to Duke it feels like home,” said Giles, who joins his buddy, No. 3-ranked Jayson Tatum, in Duke’s recruiting Class

of 2016. Giles will soon undergo season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his right knee. He tore the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee the summer between his freshman and sophomore years of high school. He also broke the third metacarpal in his left hand in September. Several other elite big men who are considering KU remain uncommitted. n No. 15-ranked Marques Bolden, a 6-10 forward from DeSoto (Texas) High, has visited KU, Kentucky, Duke and Oklahoma, with Alabama, Baylor, TCU and Wake Forest also on his list. It is likely he will not sign with a school until the

spring. n No. 20-ranked Jarrett Allen, a 6-9 forward from St. Stephens Episcopal in Austin, Texas, is making an official visit to Kentucky this weekend after trips to KU, Notre Dame and Houston. He has also made several unofficial visits to Texas. Other schools on his list: Kansas State, Indiana and North Carolina. Allen still may choose a school in the early signing period, which starts Wednesday. n No. 27 Udoka Azubuike, a 6-11 forward from Potter’s House in Jacksonville, Florida, who will wait until spring to sign, has visited KU, Florida State, North Carolina and North Carolina State. He also is considering Ken-

tucky. The country’s No. 1 player, Josh Jackson, a 6-7 guard from Prolific Prep in Napa, California, plans to visit KU during the upcoming season and sign with a school late. No. 5-rated DeAaron Fox, 6-3 from Cypress Lakes High in Katy, Texas, is said to be leaning to Kentucky over KU and others. He wants to sign in the early period. No. 6 Malik Monk, 6-4 from Bentonville (Arkansas) High, has Arkansas, KU and Kentucky on his list and is expected to sign with a school in the spring. KU has received a commitment from No. 117-rated Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-8 forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Chris-

was running into the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown. Woods ran to his right on the play, saw he didn’t have a hole open, and ran backwards while reversing course to the left side of the field before a big block from Clothier gave him enough separation to run past would-be tacklers. Woods led the Lions with 186 yards and four touchdowns on 18 carries, and senior Peter Afful added a 51-yard touchdown run on his only carry in the fourth quarter. However, the Lions had trouble stopping SM North junior quarterback Will Schneider, who tossed for 323 yards and three touchdowns. He avoided the LHS pass rush with quick threestep drops, and he had the agility to bounce around the pocket for extra time. Schneider ran for 120 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. “We had to get used to him,” said Georgie, who batted down two passes at the line of scrimmage. “Our secondary, they didn’t play as good as they can. But they’re go-

We’re going to have fun next week.” Clothier did his best to match Schneider, tossing for 199 yards and two touchdowns on 10-of-13 passing. He threw a 32yard touchdown to senior tight end Price Morgan over the middle of the field on the first drive of the game and connected on a 61-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver J’Mony Bryant in the fourth quarter. Clothier added 93 rushing yards and a 19-yard

touchdown run before halftime. “We’ve worked very hard on it,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said of the passing game. “In practice, we spend 20, 30 minutes … just throwing the ball. I feel comfortable. Alan can throw it.” In the first half, the Lions took advantage of two fumbles, one forced by Morgan and another recovered by Morgan. Senior linebacker Tanner Green also made a tackle on fourth-and-one at midfield to force a turnover on downs.

The Lions know they’ll need to clean up their defensive performance in the state quarterfinals next week but were thrilled to move on to the second round. “It’s great. I haven’t won a playoff football game since I’ve been in high school,” Morgan said. “We’ve been talking about going to the state championship ever since we got here. This is just one step along the way, so I’m really excited.” The Lions will play host to Blue Valley (8-2) at 7 p.m. Friday.

New offer: KU has offered a scholarship to Andrew Jones, a 6-4 senior shooting guard from McArthur High in Irving, Texas, Rivals.com reports. Jones, who is ranked No. 38 in the Class of 2016, in August visited Arizona and Louisville and made unofficials to Baylor, SMU and Texas. He will likely wait until spring to sign. “I talked to coach (Bill) Self and he kind of explained to me how I would fit and that he didn’t recruit me as they should have and that they should have

their second series and were by no means running away with it once Skwarlo rushed for a second TD in the second quarter. That’s when Free State started making breaks for itself and turning takeaways into points. With FSHS up 14-0, senior Drew Tochtrop recovered a fumbled kickoff return. Just more than two minutes later, junior defensive back Zack Sanders picked off a Chaz Capps pass. Free State scored after each West turnover, building a 28-0 halftime lead. Firebirds coach Bob Lisher appreciated Tochtrop and Sanders getting the ball right back. “First of all, it gives you a little momentum when you take the ball away,” Lisher said. “Then you get your offense back out there to work out some things and get going.” Skwarlo, who rushed for 168 yards and three scores, often benefited from the perfect timing he and Torneden have developed running the option. The 6-foot senior hit a running lane hard for a 12-yard TD on an option pitch to the left side on Free State’s first of seven scores. The same play, to

FREE STATE QUARTERBACK BRYCE TORNEDEN, CENTER, cuts back as he is pursued by Wichita West defenders Thomas Washington, left, and Jordan Rios on Friday night at Free State. the wide side of the field, gave a diving Skwarlo an eight-yard TD in the second quarter. Skwarlo’s longest and most explosive run yet came less than a minute into the third, when the option turned into a 68 yards and another six points. “Over the season, the option’s definitely been one of our better plays, for sure,” Skwarlo said. “If you’re gonna take on Bryce, then I’m gonna be gone. If you’re gonna take on me, then Bryce is gonna be gone. It’s just a good combination. We work really well together.’ Their chemistry netted FSHS a 39-yard TD on a

passing play in the second quarter. Torneden scrambled backward, avoiding pressure, and before the QB could be taken down for a significant loss, Skwarlo came to the rescue, catching a pass near midfield and taking off down the right sideline. “That was a backyard football play,” Skwarlo said. “A lot of times I’ll see Bryce scrambling around, and if I’m already blocking my guy, we make eye contact.” Added Torneden: “We had the exact same play freshmen year, and it worked out. Same result.” More times than not,

Wichita West had no solution for Skwarlo when the running back had the ball in his hands. “Once he gets downhill,” Lisher said, “he’s pretty tough to tackle. He’s a pretty strong kid, and if you hit him when he’s running downhill, you may not want to do it again.” Torneden also burned the Pioneers through the air, as Free State started the postseason in near flawless fashion. The senior QB completed 11 of his 16 throws, including a perfect ball for senior receiver Logan McKinney (three catches, 46 yards) in the back-left corner

Once they realized that I was signing late that’s when they really decided to push it,” Jones told Rivals.com. “(Self) talked about Wayne Selden possibly leaving (for NBA) and that I could have a chance to play. My dad checked out their roster and told me to watch their games and see where I fit.” Of the decision-making process, he told Rivals.com, “Going on visits I really try and get a good relationship with the players and the coaches. I see where my fit is and where I gel with the environment. I’m just trying to do my research.”

“Yeah, you do,” Beaty said when asked if he thought his team had to show well to make the trip worthwhile. “I think that’s important for us. Guys want to see you improving. They want to see you getting better in places.” Because of his strong ties to the state’s high school football scene, the outcome of one game between a struggling UT team and an overmatched Kansas squad will not be the be-all, end-all for KU in recruiting the state. But Beaty said, friends or not, it was crucial to show those coaches something they could sell to their athletes as well. “A lot of those friends down there are literally calling and texting and saying, ‘Hey, man, I know a lot of people can’t see it, but I can see it,’” Beaty said of KU’s slow and steady improvement. “I’ve had a lot of calls. I’ve had a lot of guys saying, I’m going to be there. It’s going to be good. That’s something that’s paid dividends because our staff does such a great job down there. I know (those coaches and players are) going to be at the game, and I know they want to see improvement so, when (their players) come (to Kansas), they know they have bowl games in their future. That’s the reward for playing in college football, bowl games and championships.”

Sorry, Charlie KU’s match-up with the Longhorns in Lawrence last season marked the final game in the KU coaching career of former head coach Charlie Weis. In the 2014 Big 12 opener, Kansas was blanked by Texas, 23-0, and Weis was fired the next day, four games into his third season in charge. Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen took over as interim head coach and guided the Jayhawks to one win the rest of the way before returning to his role as DC when KU hired Beaty to replace Weis. Series history Despite being in the Big 12 together since the inception of the conference, Kansas and Texas have met just 14 times in the history of the program. The series, though limited in head-to-head meetings, dates back to 1901, when the Jayhawks shut out UT in the firstever meeting. The two teams played again in 1938 and then waited 58 years to battle one another during the opening season of the Big 12. KU lost that meeting in 1996, 38-17, and still has not knocked off the Longhorns in conference play.

Score some points

Get going on the ground

Score first

Kansas is averaging a Big 12-worst 16.5 points per game in conference play and has scored more than 20 points just twice all season. The Jayhawks have managed just one touchdown in four of the five Big 12 games they’ve played this season and continually struggled to string first downs together. Head coach David Beaty and offensive coordinator Rob Likens said they were disappointed by the production of the offense and added they were constantly looking at ways they could improve the output. Included among the areas of the struggling offense being examined were: coaching, the running game, changing personnel and better fundamentals. Texas ranks eighth in the conference in scoring defense (30.1 ppg).

During the past two games, Kansas has rushed for 65 yards on 63 carries, averaging barely better than one yard per attempt. That cannot continue if KU hopes to be competitive in its last four games of 2015. And improvement on the ground is particularly important today given that Iowa State’s dominance in the run game helped the Cyclones upset Texas a week ago. ISU back Mike Warren carried 32 times for 157 yards, and the team averaged nearly five yards per carry. A big reason KU has struggled to run the ball well of late is the superior strength and size of recent opponents. That will again be the case today against the Longhorns, but it’s up to Likens and Beaty to find a way to overcome that and create an environment in which the KU rushing attack at least appears to be a threat.

Texas coach Charlie Strong, now in his second season leading the Longhorns, is 0-11 at UT in games in which the opponent scores first. Last week, in a 24-0 victory in Ames, Iowa, Iowa State struck first with a first-quarter touchdown that set the tone. KU has scored first just once all season, and that came in Week Two, when the Jayhawks built a 10-0 lead over Memphis before falling 55-23.

Several Kansas players and coaches referred to the Texas quarterbacks as run-first QBs. And the numbers certainly back that up. Heard, the red-shirt freshman who has started seven games, leads the Longhorns in rushing with 502 yards on 111 carries and has attempted just 111 passes. In seven games this season — one start — Swoopes has attempted just eight more passes than he has runs. The junior leads the team with five rushing touchdowns and averages more than five yards every time he takes off. Heard, 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, averages 4.5 yards per carry. And at 6-4, 244, Swoopes, who handles the UT offensive package known as the “18 Wheeler,” is the kind of guy who can make things miserable for opposing defenses in a hurry.

5 QUESTIONS WITH … WR BOBBY HARTZOG JR.

A few weeks ago, you suffered a knee injury in practice that looked to be pretty severe. The setback kept you out a few weeks, but you’re back on top of the depth chart now and improving by the day. What were your first thoughts when you got injured, and how have you gotten all the way back? It was the worst feeling I’ve ever had. And I knew it was pretty bad right away. I never really thought worst-case scenario, and our trainers took great care of me, and because of that I knew I would be able to get back at some point this season. I just tried my best to be consistent and work hard and do everything the team needs me to do.”

You’re from Houston. What’s it like to prepare to head back to your home state to take on the Longhorns? Most of my family’s gonna be there, and I just want to put on a good show for them and hopefully come out with a win. It really is cool to go back home to play because most of my friends from growing up play for Texas schools, and it’s fun to see them and go up against them any time we go down there.

Who is your favorite wide receiver of all-time? That’s tough. I’ve never really had a favorite wide receiver. I just

Jayhawk pulse There will be no bowl for the Jayhawks, but back-toback trips to Texas in the next two weeks is still a heck of a reward for the 44 Texans on the roster. With four games remaining in his first season in charge of the KU program, Beaty is tightening the screws in an attempt to find a way to win and gain as much development as possible. For most players, that means juggling the dual nature of preparing for the next opponent and emphasizing the technique, fundamentals and procedures that are paramount at Kansas.

You guys have yet to win a game under first-year coach David Beaty. How — Matt Tait hard is it, particularly for the younger guys, to go through a winless season after coming Tale of the Tape from high school programs that Texas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Kansas won at such high levels? You’re from Houston and It’s hard, but we’re gonna have to KU run game you’re an Astros fan. How continue to work to actually get a 4 vs. Texas run D much did seeing your win, so being down and not trying squad lose to the Royals in the KU pass game as hard is just gonna make it worse. 4 vs. Texas pass D MLB playoffs hurt? We’re trying to prepare for the Yeah, that wasn’t too cool. I didn’t future, too, and that’s only gonna run game like that. But coach Beaty linking our help. We still want to live in the now, 4 Texas vs. KU run D team with what the Royals did really but it’s nice to know that everything hit home because we do have to trust we’re going through now is going to pass game 4 Texas in one another and trust the process vs. KU pass D be worth it someday. and their story really does tie into our 4 Special teams — Matt Tait team and what we’re trying to do.

picked up a few things from a few players or whatever. But I did have a favorite football player — LaDainian Tomlinson. Growing up watching him, I just thought he was the best player ever, the way he could make people miss and everything.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOCCER PLAYERS CELEBRATE A FIRST-HALF GOAL in their 2-0 victory over Baylor in the Big 12 soccer tournament semifinals on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri. KU will face Texas Tech in the title game at 3 p.m. Sunday.

extremely happy for myself and the team, the coaches — we all deserve this.” Salazar nearly earned an assist a minute later when she sent a throughball to Ashley Pankey, but the KU junior forward was not able to lift the ball over Martinson when she came out of the net for the save. The Jayhawks used the momentum of Salazar’s goal to outshoot Baylor, 8-4, before the break. Kansas (10-8-2) continued to hold Baylor at bay after the Bears threatened early in the half, and Salazar sealed the win in the 78th minute with an insurance goal. “Li was unbelievable tonight,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “When you have big games like this, big-time players step up, and Li is obviously a huge player. She basically took the team on her back and said, ‘I’m just going to take the game over for us.’” Salazar came out of a five-player scrum before breaking away and pushing the ball past Martinson from 15 yards out. Despite getting banged up more than usual, Salazar said the punishment was worth it. “Every time we play Baylor, it’s like this. It’s very physical,” she said. “I think I have like 20 bruises right now on my legs, but it’s OK. I’ll be fine.” KU sophomore goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns and the Jayhawk backline of Morgan Williams, Kayla Morrison and Aurelie Gagnet held off the Bears for the remainder of the match for the team’s sixth shutout of the season. Dobyns recorded two saves after tying a careerhigh with stops in a 2-1

AGENT SPOTLIGHT Randy Barnes

Realtor, ABR, GRI, CRS, Green

785-760-2140 randybarneshomes@gmail.com Where did you grow up? I grew up on a Dairy Farm in Southwest Missouri. What area do you live in now? We live in the neighborhood around Quail Run Elementary. What do you like most about it? We moved here in 1997, and it is a wonderful neighborhood to raise a family. Our children were 3 & 18 months when we moved here. We live in an awesome cul-de-sac, and there were always kids playing outside. It’s great because there are still kids playing outside & walking to and from school. We also have a neighborhood Christmas Party every year. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? You can usually ﬁnd me wandering downtown with my family & friends, and hanging out at coffee shops or local eateries. I also enjoy traveling. That could be random weekend trips in the region, or week long vacations to the beach.

classiﬁeds@ljworld.com

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

Balancing work and family was a bit of a challenge when I ﬁrst started in the business. I learned to start scheduling family obligations and personal time into my calendar. The most gratifying part is helping my clients ﬁnd & buy the home of their dreams (or) helping them sell their home to pursue a new journey.

Don’t try to do this on your own. Finding a Realtor that you can trust will make a world of difference in the outcome and experience.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

We are fairly stable here, no major swings either up or down. I believe that we will see prices going up about 3-5% annually for the next few years.

Let me just say that I’ve come across some crazy things when I’m out showing houses or holding open houses. I don’t think it would be appropriate to give any details.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent?

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold? I’ve had the pleasure of listing & selling several very unique properties; one was a Stone Church that was turned into four loft style condos, another one was a loft on Mass Street that was an amazing merge of vintage & modern. Most recently, I helped some dear friends buy a Church built in 1865 that was converted into one of the coolest houses in Old West Lawrence. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? My work ethic, my integrity, and advocacy for my clients.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/ prices?

I understand how important it is to be well represented when buying or selling a home. I consistently take classes and attend seminars to gain better knowledge and insight into this ever-changing business. I have achieved several designations from the National Association of Realtors®: Certified Residential Specialist, Graduate Realtor® Institute, Accredited Buyer Representative, and NAR’s Green Designation. My expertise, paired with my calm personality, turns what can be a stressful time into a smooth and successful transaction. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a seasoned buyer or seller, you will benefit from working with me.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? I’ve been a Realtor since 2003, so that would be 12 years. What did you do before that? I was an Art Director & Creative Director at an Ad Agency prior to moving to Lawrence. We actually moved to Lawrence because I was recruited to be the Creative Director at Payless Shoesource in the corporate ofﬁce in Topeka. What is your specialty? Working hard for my clients.
