A refreshing ruling: Water coolers return to Capitol

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The state ethics commission says that legislators can dip into their campaign funds to pay for water coolers in their offices.

have to go to the first floor to get a drink of water.

Kelsey said he imagined constituents visiting his office during the next session and being unable to offer them water.

He didn’t like that, so he figured out how much it would cost for each legislator to get water

and a cooler in his or her office.

It came out to $65 per legislator.

He then sent letters to all 165 legislators asking them to pay $65. He said he would have someone handle all the paperwork and get the Department Please see WATER, page 2A

TOPEKA — Kansas’ top revenue official said Monday that Gov. Sam Brownback will receive recommendations by the end of the year aimed at modifying the state’s tax code and putting more money in state residents’ pockets.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan told The Associated Press that a task force is nearing completion of the proposal that will take a broad approach at reducing taxes.

“We’re looking at tax policy in a very comprehensive way.

We’re not just focusing on business or individual incomes,” Jordan said. Brownback “I don’t know that we are targeting numbers. We’re targeting what is the best economic growth policy for the state.”

Jordan, a former Republican state senator from Shawnee, declined to say specifically which taxes would be reduced. He said the task force was working on a recommendation that Brownback “could feel comfortable with” advocating to the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Options include removing regulations that inhibit business growth, increasing disposable income for families and increasing the flow of capital into Kansas that will help businesses invest.

The secretary said the Kansas economy remains fragile despite six consecutive months of revenue growth.

On Friday, the agency reported that September revenue collections beat expectations by $27 million for the month.

Through the first quarter of the state’s fiscal year the figure is more than $66 million, putting Kansas on track to have an ending budget balance next summer of close to $200 million, when factoring in cuts in state spending.

“We’re looking long-term.

We’re looking about 10 years as to where we can go,” Jordan said.

Jordan said the tax plan will come before the 2012 Legislature convenes in January. Legislators are meeting through the fall to discuss their own tax policy changes, including a bill that the House passed in 2011 that would have begun phasing out the state’s income tax.

“We’re not trying to affect anything that would affect local governments’ revenue sources,” Jordan said.

LECOMPTON INTERCHANGE

Court rules in favor of property owners; turnpike area development now in question

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Property owners in northwest Douglas County have won a key legal ruling that could put a damper on largescale industrial development in the area near the Lecompton interchange on the Kansas Turnpike.

The Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday issued a ruling that reverses previous actions by the Douglas County Commission and the Lawrence City Commission to annex 155 acres of wellsituated land into the city and rezone it for industrial uses.

the city and the county said Monday they were still reviewing the ruling and no decision had been made on whether to appeal.

The ruling, though, does not prohibit industrial development from occurring in the area. Instead, it said Douglas County commissioners did not go through the right process in determining whether certain industrial uses would have harmed the area. County commissioners could choose to restart the process.

County commissioners took a vote in 2008 that cleared the way for the city to annex the property. None Please see COURT, page 2A

If an emergency arises, you want these two around

By Micki Chestnut Special to the Journal-World

If disaster ever strikes Douglas County, whether it’s a Joplin-like tornado, an outbreak of a deadly contagious disease or a hazardous material contamination, count on Perry residents Paula Hladky and Willard Epling to launch into action, working to save lives.

Hladky and Epling are trained Douglas County Emergency Management volunteers and have an arsenal of skills they can put to work, from rescuing victims to organizing spontaneous volunteers.

“If they are out there first, they can do things like basic first aid and basic fire suppression, which frees up the first responders who need to help those who are in more critical situations,” said Teri Smith, director of Douglas County Emergency Management. “That’s why they are so important.”

Smith is amazed by the time and passion Hladky and Epling have poured into Douglas County Emergency Man-

of the three commissioners remain on the County Commission. Commissioners Bob Johnson and Jere McElhaney voted for the annexation issue, while Commissioner Charles Jones opposed it.

Lawrence attorney Ronald Schneider, who represented the group of neighbors in the lawsuit, said his clients were pleased that the court found rural residents deserved more protection in the matter.

When the issue was being heard in 2008, developers of the property, a group led

by Lawrence businessmen Duane and Steve Schwada, could not identify what type of industrial users eventually would locate on the property.

Instead, the request was to approve a wide range of industrial uses, including some of the heaviest of industrial operations.

“Basically, as long as it was legal and it was industrial, it could be done on that property,” Schneider said. “That’s a pretty scary concept if you have property right next door to it.”

Economic development leaders have said sites near the Lecompton interchange are some of the more promising locations the county has to offer industrial users, especially distribution centers that want easy access to the highway.

Two other pieces of property may end up being impacted by Friday’s ruling. A smaller piece of land just east of the interchange already has been annexed and rezoned, but a lawsuit has been filed that makes many of the same arguments that were ruled upon in Friday’s decision. A second piece of property east of the interchange also is in the annexation process. It also is the subject of a similar lawsuit.

An industrial site west of the interchange, however, has not been caught up in the legal proceedings. Berry Plastics currently is building a new warehouse and printing facility on the property.

That site has not faced the same legal hurdles because it was not annexed into the city limits.

The 155-acres north of the interchange currently is owned by Russell and Penny Tuckel, who bought the land in a court-ordered auction after their business partnership with the Schwadas was dissolved. Russell Tuckel said they are still very interested in developing the property for industrial uses, and they expect the city and county to take action to preserve its standing as being part of the city limits.

“There are going to be tons of trucks running by the site already because of the Berry Plastics development,” Tuckel said. “All this is kind of silly given that development. But as far as we are concerned, the property was annexed and rezoned when we bought it, and that’s what we expect it to have in the future.”

CONSOLIDATION

Group readies for school board dialogue

1 | ITALY

Appeals court clears Knox of murder Amanda Knox left prison Monday, a free woman for the first time in four years, after an Italian appeals court threw out the young American’s murder conviction for the brutal stabbing death of her British roommate after a drug-fueled sexual assault.

Knox, 24, collapsed in tears after the verdict was read, a stunning reversal in a sensational saga that became a cause celebre in the U.S. Her co-defendant and former boyfriend, Italian Raffaele Sollecito, also was cleared of killing 21-year-old Meredith Kercher in 2007.

“We’re thankful that Amanda’s nightmare is over,” her younger sister, Deanna Knox, told reporters outside the courthouse. “She suffered for four years for a crime she did not commit.”

About 90 minutes after the verdict was handed down, a black Mercedes carrying Knox was seen leaving the prison. She was expected to board a commercial flight for home today.

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama, GOP push and pull over jobs bill Seeking to gain political advantage, President Barack Obama insisted Monday that Congress vote on his entire $447 billion economic plan this month, a step promptly rejected by Republicans who called for both sides to find common ground in their competing proposals to stimulate growth.

Obama demanded that Republicans spell out their objections to his plan, expressing confidence that the public supports his call for more spending on public works projects and on job security for teachers and police officers.

“Ultimately, they’ve got to do the right thing for the American people,” Obama said of lawmakers.

Republicans have already specified which pieces of Obama’s plan they could support, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Monday that some of those measures would get a vote this month. But he said the Republican-controlled House would not act on the president’s jobs bill in its entirety.

“This all-or-nothing approach is unreasonable,” the Virginia Republican said.

3 | NEW YORK CITY

Anti-Wall Street protests spread Protests against Wall Street spread across the country Monday as demonstrators marched on Federal Reserve banks and camped out in parks from Los Angeles to Portland, Maine, in a show of anger over the wobbly economy and what they see as corporate greed.

In Manhattan, hundreds of protesters dressed as corporate zombies in white face paint lurched past the New York Stock Exchange clutching fistfuls of fake money. In Chicago, demonstrators pounded drums in the city’s financial district. Others pitched tents or waved protest signs at passing cars in Boston, St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. The arrests of 700 protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend galvanized a slice of discontented America, from college students worried about their job prospects to middle-age workers who have been recently laid off.

Some protesters likened themselves to the tea party movement — but with a liberal bent — or to the Arab Spring demonstrators who brought down their rulers in the Middle East.

Scientist wins Nobel 3 days after death Ralph Steinman, a pioneer in understanding how cells fight disease, tried to help his own immune system thwart his pancreatic cancer.

Steinman survived until Friday. Three days later, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.

The Nobel committee, unaware of his death, announced the award Monday in Stockholm. Steinman’s employer, Rockefeller University in New York, learned of his death after the Nobel announcement.

Steinman’s wife, Claudia, said the family had planned to disclose his death Monday — only to discover an email to his cellphone from the Nobel committee.

Experts disagree whether Steinman’s research helped him live for 4 1/2 years after he was diagnosed. A colleague in his lab thinks it did. The odds of making it even a year with his type of cancer are less than 5 percent.

Nobel officials said they believed it was the first time that a laureate had died before the announcement without the committee’s knowledge.

City greets Hiratsuka group, celebrates 20-year exchange

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

The city’s sister cities program turns 20 this year, and a 13-member delegation from Hiratsuka, Japan, is in Lawrence to mark the occasion.

The delegation, which includes Hiratsuka Mayor Katsuhiro Ochiai, will meet with Lawrence officials and local business leaders. Their itinerary began Monday night with a welcome reception at Spring Hill Suites, 1 Riverfront Plaza.

The program sends Lawrence students on four-week, language-based exchanges to Eutin, Germany, and shorter cultural exchanges to Hiratsuka. Students from Eutin spend time going to classes in both high schools, and all visitors do home-stays with Lawrence families.

The result, its organizers say, is an enriched community with members who have personal relationships across the world.

SISTER CITIES GALA The Lawrence sister cities program is hosting a gala in honor of its 20th anniversary. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace. All proceeds will go toward the program’s scholarship fund. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the event.

“We’re sending our young people from one culture to another and creating a warm atmosphere in both,” Ochiai said, through an interpreter.

“It’s an exchange that allows Americans and Japanese the opportunity to expand their understanding.”

Lawrence resident Layla McEniry has seen the Hiratsuka exchange program develop firsthand. She was one of the first students to make the trip and this past summer, her daughter Sadie did, too, 20 years after her trailblazing mom.

The biggest changes between Layla’s experience and Sadie’s, they say, are the wider exposure to JapaSadie McEniry nese culture in America and the use of technology to keep in touch — where Layla had a list of pen pals upon her return; Sadie has Facebook friends.

Sadie, now a sophomore at Lawrence High School, says the trip has made her want to teach English abroad as a career. Layla says she’s happy her daughter got to have the same positive experience she did.

“Travel is one of the best ways to educate yourself about the world,” Layla said, “and about who you are as a person.”

EPA official talks air-quality standards progress Process of reaching Flint Hills burning rules discussed

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

A year ago, Karl Brooks, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 7 administrator, spoke to a roomful of Lawrence Rotarians about a controversy smoldering in the Flint Hills.

The annual burning of the Flint Hills helps maintain productive range land for cattle, keeps woody plants in check and increases the biodiversity of one of the last and largest pieces of tallgrass prairie in North America.

However, that burning also means smoke blows to cities downwind. A couple of times each year that smoke — when combined with the right weather

conditions — was throwing major metro areas out of compliance with the federal Clean Air Act. If that happens too many times, cities such as Wichita and Kansas City could be faced with a series of costly measures to keep air pollution at bay.

Landowners feared that the EPA would require burn permits, and the Kansas Legislature passed a resolution asking Congress to exempt Flint Hills burning from air-quality standards.

“We were just in the very early stages of wading out into that very hot controversy,” Brooks said to the same group of Rotarians at a noon lunch on Monday.

Explicit texts bring 20-year sentence

EPA

A Douglas County judge Monday afternoon sentenced a 28-year-old Lawrence man to serve nearly 20 years in prison for sending sexually explicit text messages and photographs to a 12-year-old Baldwin City girl.

District Judge Sally Pokorny followed terms of a plea agreement and ordered Burtrum to serve a 233-month prison sentence and to register as a sex offender. He will get credit for the five months he’s already served in jail, and probation officials said prison officials could give him credit for 15 percent of his sentence for good behavior.

Burtrum pleaded guilty in July to attempted electronic solicitation of a child. Douglas County prosecutors accused him of sending the message to the girl, with whom he was acquainted, in March. Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said the girl’s father was in court and agreed with the plea negotiations.

“I just want to apologize to everybody who was involved,” Burtrum said. “I tried to make this as easy on everybody involved and get it over as quickly as possible.”

Pokorny said Burtrum agreed to plead guilty without requiring the girl to testify at a preliminary hearing or a trial.

“I’m taking that as a positive first step on your part,” Pokorny said.

Defense attorney Greg Robinson said Burtrum had cooperated with authorities and shown remorse in the case. He also said he hoped Burtrum could get treatment in prison and the victim could get any help she needs.

“If he could go back and change it he would,” Robinson said. “He can’t.”

“Time has changed,” said Chuck Epp, a Kansas University professor and member of the working group, representing the Cordley community. “There are new facts on the ground.”

Among the key facts: Only three of the board’s seven members had a vote in creating the working group, setting its course and scheduling its planned completion.

Now, nearly six months after four new board members were elected — and three months since they took office — the new majority could get a chance to offer input regarding the working group’s direction before the group’s final recommendations are due by the end of January.

All the working group needs to do is ask, and at least one board member is looking forward to the opportunity.

“It’s hard to see the downside,” said Rick Ingram, who received the most votes in the April board election and has attended the past three meetings of the group as an observer. “I think we need to listen with an open mind to anything they want to talk to us about.”

In addition to agreeing that they would appoint the subcommittee Oct. 17, group members also rejected the concept of appointing an executive committee, at least for now. They also favor making times available for individual group members to make voluntary visits to schools on the consolidation list.

Members also reviewed enrollment data and asked for more numbers to help them consider plans that could call for closing some schools while adding onto others or even building a school or two anew, financed by a bond issue.

But the prospect of closing two schools without adding classrooms elsewhere drew gasps from group members, as they crunched numbers projected on a large screen.

“If that bond doesn’t pass, and we don’t have any money … we don’t see how you can close any of these schools and not make the three, four, five schools around it jump over capacity,” said Sally Kelsey, a representative from the Cordley community. “(Then) there’s no capacity, really, to close a school.”

In the past year, the EPA has been meeting with stakeholders — the cattle industry, range managers, landowners, air-quality experts and

state and local governments — to find a solution.

“There were lots of meeting and lots of Styrofoam coffee,” Brooks said.

What they arrived at is a system that doesn’t issue permits, but in which landowners are asked to voluntarily consider weather patterns and what their neighbors are burning. In some counties, open burning during April is only allowed for agriculture purposes. More information is available on where that smoke travels as well as why burning is needed.

With those guidelines, agriculture producers are asked to burn responsibly.

Air-quality standards were exceeded four times during the four weeks of the 2011 burning season. And, that’s not a bad number, Brooks told the crowd.

“The folks who were involved in this — the ranchers, scientists, the land managers — basically look at this and say, all right, we have a system in place based on science and education and personal responsibility and government doing what government does best, which is high grade research and bringing people together, where it looks like we targeted a doable task,”

While Brooks isn’t promising that air-quality standards would be met in 2012, he said finding a solution to better manage the burning of the Flint Hill is promising.

“The progress that has

been made in a year has really given me a better appreciation for how the EPA can put its shoulders into the field and do something constructive,” Brooks said.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • Two men were arrested on suspicion of assault in connection with two separate incidents Sunday morning in Douglas County.

A 24-year-old Lawrence man was accused of threatening his girlfriend with a knife at his Lawrence apartment, and a rural Wellsville man was accused of threatening two people and damaging a door and wall at a residence in southeastern Douglas County.

In the Lawrence incident, police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said police arrested the man on an aggravated assault charge about 2:15 a.m.

Sunday and confiscated a knife after his girlfriend alleged he threatened her in a domestic incident about 30 minutes earlier at their apartment at Malls Olde English Village, 2411 La. Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman, said officers arrested the rural Wellsville man on charges of criminal damage, aggravated assault, criminal threat and domestic battery about 9 a.m.

Sunday at a residence in the 2100 section of North 100 Road.

Lewis said the man is accused of using a blunt object during the incident to damage the door, an interior wall and a ceramic plant pot. No one was injured, but the victims were listed as a 33-year-old woman who lives at the residence and a 25-year-old Wellsville man. The incident occurred between 7:40 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

Both men were in the Douglas County Jail on Monday morning, but they were later released. Cheryl Wright, a

A 24-year-old Lawrence man who was convicted last year of fondling a 7-year-old girl is asking a judge to grant him a new trial based on statements the girl’s mother made after the trial.

Carl Folsom, a defense attorney for Jose A. FernandezTorres, has argued in a motion that the girl’s mother wrote a letter last summer, eight months after the trial, to his client’s mother and said the touching allegation could have arisen out of a “misunderstanding.”

The girl’s mother in the letter wrote that she was angry at Fernandez-Torres and that it could have influenced her daughter’s memory of the alleged incident.

“The letter supports the defense’s trial theory that (the victim) might have just gotten worked up about an unintentional touching based on (her mother’s) emotions,” Folsom wrote.

A jury in December convicted Fernandez-Torres of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and violation of a protective order after prosecutors accused him of fondling the daughter of his girlfriend the night of Sept. 2, 2010, at a northern Lawrence

apartment. Prosecutors accused Fernandez-Torres of putting his hand in the girl’s shorts while she was in bed.

The girl told her mother, who took her to the hospital for an exam. Police later arrested Fernandez-Torres after interviewing both parties.

But Forrest Lowry, the defense attorney at the trial, argued the state didn’t have physical evidence to support the accusations and claimed Fernandez-Torres caught the girl as she fell out of bed.

District Judge Peggy Kittel heard evidence, including testimony from the girl’s mother, last week and said she would rule on the motions later. The girl’s mother also told Kittel from the witness stand last week that she thought Fernandez-Torres should serve one more year in prison on top of the nine months he has spent in jail.

Currently Fernandez-Torres faces 25 years to life in prison on the indecent liberties count.

Folsom has filed a separate motion asking Kittel to acquit Fernandez-Torres, arguing prosecutors did not prove all elements required in the jury instructions.

BRIEFLY Gov. plans 12-day trade mission TOPEKA — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback plans to join officials and ranchers from Colorado and Montana on a 12-day trade mission to Russia and Kazakhstan to promote the U.S. livestock industry.

Brownback’s office announced Monday that the delegation will be traveling from Thursday through Oct. 17.

Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman also is in the delegation.

In Russia, the delegation will attend a livestock exposition, tour farms and ranches and meet with beef producers to discuss livestock genetics. The delegation also will market agricultural equipment, animal feed ingredients and animal health goods and services.

In Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, the delegation will have meetings about increasing Kansas exports.

Funds for the trade mission are being provided through a U.S. Department of Agriculture program.

Legislator to face ethics City advises against flushing wipes hearing later this month

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — State ethics officials will hold a hearing Oct. 26 on a complaint filed against state Rep. TerriLois Gregory that alleges she used public resources for political campaigning.

Gregory, R-Baldwin City, faces a maximum fine of $5,000 before the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.

Gregory has admitted she made a mistake in requesting campaign contributions in a newsletter sent in a June email from her state account.

Kansas law prohibits state elected officials from using public funds, machinery, equipment, supplies or any governmental agency for campaign purposes.

The complaint against Greg-

You might want to think twice before flushing down those baby wipes.

On Monday, the city of Lawrence issued a press release stating that there has been an uptick in sewer problems related to residents flushing baby wipes, adult wipes, disposable dust cloths and disposable sweeper cloths down the toilet. Those items belong in the trash can, not the city’s sewer system.

Even if the product’s packaging indicates the items are disposable or flushable, the city says they can cause havoc in the sewer lines.

Unlike toilet paper, these items don’t dissolve once flushed. Instead they settle or snag in the lines. Once that happens, they create a dam-like blockage, which re— Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can stricts the flow of wastewater

ory was filed by Kenny Johnston, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.

In the Gregory email, under the heading “How do we continue?” Gregory asked for contributions for her 2012 reelection campaign.

The newsletter was sent from her House of Representatives email account.

“I understand that state property must be respected and will ensure that this does not happen again,” Gregory said in a statement.

through the pipes and has the potential of causing a sewer backup.

Even more damaging are the wipes that become entangled in the city’s lift-station pumps.

Untangling the wipes requires time from utility workers and costs the city money.

These problems could lead to a sewer backup in neighboring homes or a sewer overflow in a nearby waterway.

“Although trying to divert items from the landfill is an excellent choice, and some-

thing everyone should strive for, sending these products down the drain can cause sometimes very expensive problems for the homeowner and the city in the long run,” the press release reads.

County set to OK pact on SRS office Douglas County commissioners will consider signing off Wednesday on an agreement to spend $225,000 to keep the Lawrence office of Social and Rehabilitation Services open.

The agreement, brokered in recent months by commissioners, also awaits approval from the Lawrence City Commission, set to consider the pact as part of its meeting at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.

County commissioners will be expected to do their part Wednesday, during their 4 p.m. meeting at the Douglas County COUNTY Courthouse, COMMISSION 11th and Massachusetts streets.

Leaders for both the city and county responded by working out a deal to keep the office open, despite moves by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration to close the Lawrence office and others to save money.

Also up for approval Wednesday afternoon: ! An agreement to assume Eudora Township’s financial responsibilities for the Hesper Charter Road Improvement District. ! An amendment to the Southeast Area Plan to reflect the Preliminary Alignment Study for 31st Street. ! A $272,143 purchase from Zoll Medical Corp. for 11 heart monitors and 11 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for use by Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical.

Commissioners also will hear an appeal from KC Presort regarding a mailing services contract.

City to mull boarding house conversion Another debate over large boarding houses and the amount of on-street parking they consume in the Oread neighborhood is set for Lawrence City Hall. City commissioners at their meeting today will review new information compiled by staff members CITY that shows COMMISSION a recently approved change in the city’s code could allow about 20 percent of all homes in Oread to be converted into boarding houses.

The code change created an “exception” that generally allows houses of more than 3,500 square feet to qualify for a lesser parking standard when converting into a boarding house.

City staff members are estimating that 83 homes in Oread could be converted into boarding houses under the new code. The high number is in part because the code requires the city to count basement square footage when determining if a home exceeds the 3,500-square-foot threshold.

If basements were removed from the equation, the number of homes eligible to convert to boarding houses would drop to 10.

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

Screening needed Stores should be more careful about the charities to whom they give an implied endorsement by allowing them to solicit donations on store property.

S

ome area stores may want to ramp up their process for screening charitable groups they allow to solicit donations on their property.

Because the Tonganoxie-based Purple Heart Veterans Foundation could produce documentation showing it was an IRS-approved, tax-exempt nonprofit organization, two local stores — Dillons and Walmart — let the group solicit donations in front of their businesses. Shortly thereafter, a series of Journal-World articles highlighted questionable aspects of the nonprofit, including the founder’s felony theft conviction and numerous financial irregularities.

Clearly, just having legal nonprofit status doesn’t guarantee a group isn’t engaged in shady practices.

That point was further highlighted by a recent call from an Olathe man, reporting that the same group of people who had solicited for the Purple Heart Veterans Foundation at the Olathe Walmart, were back at the store, but with new banners. This time, the solicitors were collecting for Patriot Outreach, an Oregon-based nonprofit that advocates for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The solicitors had been hired by a Topeka-based fundraising company run by Scott Hayes, who declined comment for our stories.

When the Purple Heart Veterans Foundation was sued for trademark infringement and its director said he planned to dissolve the nonprofit, Hayes called up Patriot Outreach and offered quite a deal: free money. All Patriot Outreach had to do was let Hayes use its name when soliciting and Hayes would kick back 40 to 50 percent of the money to the group.

“Forty to 50 percent is better than nothing,” said Col. Antonio Monaco, Patriot Outreach founder. After some tax form checking, Monaco’s group seemed to be on the level, and they have no paid staff. Hayes doesn’t appear to be doing anything illegal, and there are no regulations for how much of a cut fundraisers can take. For a small nonprofit, Hayes’ offer was a sweet deal.

However, the 50 to 60 cents on the dollar Hayes’ group keeps is far higher than nonprofit industry standards of 10 to 20 percent.

Would donors still give to a solicitor if they knew most of the money was going to Hayes and not Patriot Outreach?

One nonprofit analyst we spoke to referred to the type of fundraising Hayes does as “trick-or-treating for money.”

Stores that allow nonprofit solicitors on their property can stop people like Hayes in their tracks by being more cautious when choosing groups that will be allowed to solicit donations. The Journal-World questioned Walmart and Dillons about allowing the Purple Heart Veterans Foundation in front of their stores, but even when store representatives were told that one of the people operating the charity spent time in prison for theft, representatives from the stores wouldn’t say they would ban the group.

Businesses owe it to their customers to go beyond a basic IRS check when determining whether to allow a group to solicit. A better choice for any store would be to simply select well-established, well-known local charities with a proven track record in their communities.

America needs to get its act together These days, any assessment of American foreign policy seems to circle back to whether we can get our act together at home.

This country cannot command respect overseas when its domestic politicians act like irresponsible children. The world looks agog at our paralyzed Congress. A sagging superpower unable to confront the challenges that face it.

Given this sad state of the union, I was drawn to the title of a new book by uber-pundit Thomas L. Friedman and noted political scientist Michael Mandelbaum: “That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back.”

Sadly, the book doesn’t deliver on the last part of the title. Yet it bluntly describes what has sent us into slow but steady decline.

If there’s one word to take away from this book it is adaptation. When the Cold War ended, the United States basked in its “victorious” role as sole superpower. But, say the authors, we failed to grasp that communism’s end dramatically accelerated the process of globalization.

Other countries, notably China, emulated our past open-market success. They adapted to the new world and we didn’t. “We relaxed, underinvested, and lived in the moment just when we needed to study harder, save more, rebuild our infrastructure” and attract more, not less, skilled immigrants. As Friedman and Mandelbaum write: “The failure to understand that we were living in a new world, and to adapt to it was a colossal and

Our failure to welcome talented immigrants eats away at our ability to keep our competitive edge.

Meantime, our own students score below the international average in comparative tests of math and science.”

costly American mistake.”

The consequences of this miscalculation are stunning. Just a few: On infrastructure: As China builds modern roads, rail, and airports all over its vast landmass, our roads, bridges, water systems, and electric grids have eroded from lack of investment.

In 2009, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America a D grade on 15 categories of infrastructure.

On education: As global competition demands ever higher educational skills, we are producing a permanent underclass of youths without a high school education. According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, “Currently, about one-fourth of

ninth graders fail to graduate high school within four years.”

Of the major industrialized countries, only Mexico, Spain, Turkey, and New Zealand have higher dropout rates than the United States.

On immigration: As politicians whip up hysteria on this issue, we are discouraging talented immigrants who are “critical to our long-term economic health.” According to the Indian-born U.S. immigration scholar Vivek Wadhwa, 52 percent of Silicon Valley’s tech companies were started by immigrants, who also contributed to 25 percent of U.S. global patents. Immigrants make up 24 percent of science and engineering workers with bachelor’s degrees in this country, and 47 percent of those with doctorates.

Our failure to welcome talented immigrants eats away at our ability to keep our competitive edge. Meantime, our own students score below the international average in comparative tests of math and science.

Of course, our bipartisan runup of debt over the past decade (destroying the hefty surplus built up under President Bill Clinton) compounds all these problems. The authors decry the political paralysis that blocks any realistic approach to the deficit.

But this book reaffirms my belief that our core problem is much deeper than the political impasse on Capitol Hill.

“The American people still have not fully understood the world we are living in,” Friedman and Mandelbaum write. Most

Americans understand something has gone deeply wrong with the country. But they don’t grasp the causes of our decline — or how to reverse it.

Irresponsible politicians offer dangerous bromides such as “Take back our country,” with its racist, anti-immigration tones.

They rail against “big government” as if government wasn’t essential to shaping change.

Yet this country has deep structural problems that won’t be resolved by calls for a return to past glories. These problems cannot be addressed until the public is rallied and clearly told why the country is declining.

None of our politicians seem equal to the task.

President Obama hasn’t managed to galvanize the nation. Republicans are too busy denouncing Obama, science — and taxes.

The tea party is a dangerous distraction. And the media are so fragmented they only add to the cacophony.

Friedman and Mandelbaum have given up on both major parties and call for a third party of the “radical center” that would focus public attention on the real crises we face. That scenario seems unlikely — and insufficient.

Unless a leader arises — from whatever party — who tells Americans the truth and can rally them ‘round — the downward slide will continue. “If we were behaving like our parents’ generation we’d get this done,” says Mandelbaum. But we’re not.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Oct. 4, 1911: “One day this week some YEARS real excitement was AGO started north of the city IN 1911 when word was sent to town that two men were out there on a farm digging for a buried treasure. Now this is not as unreasonable as it may seem, for there are still stories afloat of the days when treasures were buried north of town. At that time a gang of outlaws made this part of the country their field for operations. Their headquarters was in an old house on a farm owned

by Will Spalding about seven miles north of the city. ... This week two strangers appeared on this farm and began digging for this treasure. Later they disappeared and it is not known from where they came. Anyway it brings a touch of adventure, of the mysterious to the workaday world … ” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Recycling pro

something terrific, or a great idea — God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.

“But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

Elizabeth Warren set up the Consumer Financial Protection Agency for Obama and should have been appointed to run it. Wall Street knows she wouldn’t play footsie with them and lobbied heavily against her nomination. The GOP promised to vigorously fight her nomination. She is now a candidate for Ted Kennedy’s former Massachusetts Senate seat.

Go Elizabeth!

Julie Matchett, Lawrence

To the editor: I am applauding Nick Benson for his efforts on behalf of the environment (JournalWorld, Oct. 1). He is willing to get into trash bins to retrieve items people should be recycling. I do what I can, but I have yet to actually get into a trash bin.

I am the one who might be checking your trash at work for aluminum cans, plastic bottles and plastic grocery bags. Fortunately, I work at a place where most people recycle. I know my few “regulars,” whose trash I have to check daily. There are few of them where I work because the management has worked with us to set up recycling bins. Still, a few people don’t take the easy step to recycle.

Why? The answer completely eludes me.

It is about discrimination” in reference to the recent City Commission approval of an ordinance on transgender To the editor: discrimination.

Enrollment boosters To the editor: Here are a couple of suggestions to help reverse Kansas University’s dropping student enrollment: !" Give students free tickets to all KU sporting events. Grant them priority parking access. !" Terminate all classes on Monday and Friday. Abolish writing requirements. Make textbooks optional. !" Permit underage drinking and transform libraries into party centers. !"Do away with terms: “assignments, professors, exams;” use instead “rewards, personal trainers, self-assessment.” !" Institute a “cash for credit option” where students can purchase a diploma with an official KU logo for only $50,000 (hurry now, supplies limited; this offer will not last!).

KDWP won’t confirm mountain lion sighting ROSSVILLE (AP) — Kansas wildlife officials are trying to reassure the public after a reported sighting of a mountain lion about 15 miles north of Topeka.

A woman taking a predawn walk Friday reported seeing a mountain lion near Main Street in Rossville.

On Monday, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism told WIBW-TV that the agency has not confirmed the sighting.

As for reports that a ranger found a paw print on the south side of Rossville, the agency says it’s not sure if the print

was made by a mountain lion.

It also says rangers don’t confirm sightings unless there’s a photo, fur or some other piece of evidence.

A department spokesman says the agency gets hundreds of reports of mountain lion sightings each year, and roughly 99 percent are false.

BIG 12

Schools agree to share TV rights

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

Playing with poise FSHS, LHS stress confidence at Free State Invitational

By Luke Meredith

By Corey Thibodeaux

Associated Press Sports Writer

Big 12 university leaders agreed to share the wealth equally from the conference’s most lucrative television deals if its members agree to lock those top-tier TV rights into the league for at least six years.

The league’s announcement Monday was an encouraging sign for the long-term health of the conference, but it is no done deal.

Missouri is considering leaving the Big 12, possibly for the Southeastern Conference, and the university’s board of curators is scheduled to meet today in St. Louis.

Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas hopes the approval by the presidents and chancellors of equal revenue sharing and a grant of tier-one and tier-two TV rights to the league will help convince Missouri to stay instead of joining Texas A&M in the SEC. “In an objective view, this should be a positive sign for Missouri,” Neinas said during a teleconference with reporters.

Neinas said he plans to visit with Missouri officials this week, but not before today’s curators’ meeting.

Neinas said Missouri should consider its long-standing rivalry with Kansas, the Kansas Citybased Big 12 basketball tournaments and the close proximity between Columbia to other Big 12 schools.

“It’s one thing to talk about the Southeastern Conference, but how many people are going to be able to afford to travel to Gainesville, Fla., or Columbia, S.C., or Tuscaloosa, Ala.,” Neinas said. “You know, John Q. Fan, he can get in the car and drive to Big 12 games.

“Besides, Missouri is midwestern, not southern.”

The revenue-sharing model had been proposed by Texas several weeks ago, but was waiting for a vote by league presidents.

Neinas said that school leaders, who make up the Big 12 Board of Directors, voted unanimously in favor of it on Sunday.

Each school must still approve the granting of TV rights, and that’s where the Missouri curators come in.

The Big 12 also plans to move forward with expansion plans, apparently regardless of what Missouri decides.

Neinas said the Big 12’s expansion committee has been “activated” and will start meeting sometime this week. Neinas said the league has been encouraged by the amount of interest other schools have shown in the Big 12.

Neinas said the move toward sharing TV rights for football and men’s basketball will help the league’s expansion efforts and pointed to the 13-year, $1 billion television deal reached with Fox Sports in April.

Neinas said the conference has no timetable on expansion, though the league’s athletic directors must still come to a consensus on what approach they want to take.

“We have some things in mind that I’m not prepared to reveal at this point, but we’re working in a very positive way toward improving what is already a good conference,” Neinas said.

LAWRENCE HIGH GOLFER ABIGAIL SCHMIDTBERGER gets a shot off at the Free State Invitational on Monday at Lawrence Country Club.

Schmidtberger led LHS with a round of 93.

Free State golfer Madison Brumley was having a tough time on the front nine.

After a slow start to Monday’s Free State Invitational at Lawrence Country Club, she was able to gather herself in the final nine holes and lead her team with a 105. Nicole Humphrey was the second-leading scorer with a 112.

“Starting off, I was really shaky and really scared about how the rest of the day was going to go,” Brumley said.

Her score was three off the season-best she set two weeks ago when she shot a 102 at the Lawrence Invitational at Alvamar. That was the closest she got to her goal, which is to break 100.

Free State coach Craig Hershiser saw the nervousness in all of his golfers, and he said they handled it well. Brumley let him know early on.

“I think that it was really a matter of the expectations and the circumstances,” he said about it being the Firebirds’ home meet. “Hopefully with today’s experience and the second nine, (Madison) showed herself what she could do.”

With regionals looming a week from today, Hershiser wants his players to learn from Brumley’s battle.

“Confidence is a fluid thing,” he said. “It comes and goes. I’m hoping Wednesday she’ll feel more confident from the beginning and not have to play her way into it.”

Lawrence High golfer Abigail Schmidtberger backed up the confidence she felt going into the tournament and finished with her best score of the season by a long shot.

She led her team with a 93, a five-stroke improvement from her previous best, set two weeks ago at Alvamar.

FREE STATE GOLFER NICOLE HUMPHREY CONCENTRATES on a putt at the Free State Invitational.

Schmidtberger said she knew today was going to be good.

“I came having a positive attitude,” she said. “I guess it turned out pretty well.”

Schmidtberger was consistent, shooting a 46 on the front nine and a 47 on the back. It was the best performance by a Lion this season. Quillen Eichhorn also broke 100 with a score of 99. Others were close: Payton Covert and Attie Pennybaker shot 101, and Anna Wright shot a 102.

Schmidtberger said Monday was a good gauge to see how well the Lions could do compared to the other Sunflower League teams.

“I think we have a chance of getting in third in the Sunflower League,” Schmidtberger said.

Robinson named to Wooden Top 50

By Gary Bedore

“

... all this stuff is just writing. It’s just potential.

Thomas Robinson’s motto of It means nothing. The real “No Days Off” seems to be pay- players will come out in ing off.

“A summer of hard work ... November.” gbedore@ljworld.com

Robinson was named to the preseason Wooden Award list, but without teammate ...

... Tyshawn Taylor, whom he calls ‘one of the best guards in the country.’

I’m glad it’s being recognized,” Robinson, Kansas University’s 6-foot-9, 237-pound junior basketball power forward, said Monday after being named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 list.

“This means a lot to me. It’s a great accomplishment. I’m honored to be on that list,” added Robinson, who received glowing reviews for his play at the Amar’e Stoudemire, LeBron James and adidas Nations camps in July and August.

Happy for himself, Robinson was dismayed KU teammate Tyshawn Taylor didn’t join Big 12 players Marcus Denmon (Missouri), Perry Jones (Baylor) and Khris Middleton (Texas A&M) on the Wooden preseason list.

“I can’t use the exact language

— Kansas University junior power forward Thomas Robinson I want to, but, I mean, I am very upset he wasn’t,” Robinson said of the senior point guard from Hoboken, N.J. “Tyshawn is one of the best guards in the country.

He’s one of the fastest guards in the country. He knows how to play the game. But you know, all this stuff is just writing. It’s just potential. It means nothing. The real players will come out in November. Tyshawn will be here in November. He will be one of the best players in the country.”

Robinson — he revealed his “No Days Off” mantra while attending KU’s first session of summer school — averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds a game

his sophomore season. He hit a team-leading 60.1 percent of his shots and 51 percent of his free throws.

“I am just going to do whatever I’ve got to do for my team to win. If it means to average 10 points and that will make my team win, that’s what I’m going to do,” Robinson said. “I’m going to play hard, and whatever numbers I end up with, that’s what I end up with.”

Of his free-throw accuracy, he said, “That’s an area that will go up. I will put my team in danger of losing games if it becomes ‘Hack-a-T-Rob,’’’ he added, aware NBA teams would regularly foul Shaquille O’Neal at the end of games because of O’Neal’s inability to hit free throws, a strategy referred to as Hack-a-Shaq.

“I can’t be missing free throws especially if I am going to be the guy that is looked at to finish games this year. Free-throw percentage is something I made a focal point this offseason.”

One of the highlights of the

summer was being singled out

by Miami Heat standout James at James’ camp in Ohio.

James made a point to tell Robinson he was “strong.”

“That was cool to get a compliment from LeBron, one of the greatest players in the game,” Robinson said. “For me to hear him say I was a good player meant a lot to me, but that also made me more hungry to come to school here and get more players to recognize how good a player I am. That was just the start of it.”

KU’s Marcus Morris was named to the Wooden Award Preseason top 50 last year and later made the 10-member Wooden Award All-America team. Transfers, freshmen and medical red shirts are not eligible for the preseason list. These 50 players and others will be evaluated and considered for December’s midseason list, with the 20-player final ballot released in March. The Wooden

Chiefs say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back on track KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ron McClain posted a bold tweet a little over a week ago after another tough loss to the San Diego Chargers had dropped the Chiefs to 0-3.

The veteran fullback predicted Kansas City would win its next five games.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound so bold anymore.

After getting off to one of the worst starts in NFL history, including back-to-back losses by scores of 41-7 and 48-3, and sustaining season-ending injuries to several key players, Kansas City showed some moxie two weeks ago in fighting back from a 10-point hole in a 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

Then Sunday, the Chiefs rallied from a second-half deficit for a 22-17 win over Minnesota.

One down, Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ron. Four to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really talk about it, because you never want to think of yourself crossing that line from being 0-4 to being 1-3,â&#x20AC;? linebacker

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talks â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hugeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a lockout that has lasted more than three months, whether the NBA season starts on time could come down to one â&#x20AC;&#x153;very huge dayâ&#x20AC;? in labor talks.

Owners and players will be back today for a full bargaining session, knowing if they fail to produce results, there may not be enough time left to avoid canceling regular-season games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of signs point to tomorrow being a very huge day,â&#x20AC;? playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a lot of pressure on all of us in the room, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll accept that responsibility and go in and see what we can get worked out.â&#x20AC;?

The sides met in small groups Monday for about five hours, a session that Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said was mainly about â&#x20AC;&#x153;setting the tableâ&#x20AC;? for today. While careful not to put too much pressure on Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talks, he and Commissioner David Stern made clear there had to be signs of compromise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each side understands exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake and where potentially there is movement in order to try to get a deal done,â&#x20AC;? Silver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, we can only say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running out of time so many times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both understand that if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make our best offers in the next few days, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be at the point where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be causing damage to the game, to ourselves, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be out paychecks,â&#x20AC;? he added.

The regular season is scheduled to open Nov. 1. Players would have reported to training camps Monday, but those were postponed and 43 preseason games scheduled for Oct. 9-15 were canceled last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still are in the same position that we all wish we were starting training camp today and we know a lot of our fans in respective markets feel the same way,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue to work at this until we can either figure it out in a way that will spare us all a lot of collateral damage and games missed, or not, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put the effort and the time in as we have been doing and see if we can come to a resolution.â&#x20AC;?

In an interview Monday morning on Fox Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fox & Friends,â&#x20AC;? Williams, unprompted, said of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outing on the links with House Speaker John Boehner: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.â&#x20AC;?

Asked to clarify, Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the enemy,â&#x20AC;? adding that by â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;? he meant Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

NORMAN, OKLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Receiver Trey Franks has been reinstated after serving a two-game suspension for No. 3 Oklahoma, allowing him to return in time for the Red River Rivalry game against No. 11 Texas on Saturday.

Coach Bob Stoops announced Monday that he was bringing back Franks, whom he suspended indefinitely two weeks ago for an unspecified violation of team rules.

TAMPA, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Josh Freeman and LeGarrette Blount helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rally for another victory.

Freeman threw for 287 yards and a touchdown, Blount ran for 127 yards and a score, and the Buccaneers beat the Indianapolis Colts, 24-17, on Monday night.

Freeman, who ran for a touchdown early in the game, scrambled for a huge first down on the winning drive as the Buccaneers (3-1) won their third consecutive game. Freeman rallied the Bucs to victory at Minnesota in Week 2.

The Colts fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1998, Peyton Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rookie season. Manning has watched all four games, unable to play because of a neck injury.

Curtis Painter started this one, filling in for injured backup Kerry Collins, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out because of a concussion, and played better than most expected. Painter threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns, both long ones to Pierre Garcon. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as effective down the stretch, partly because the Colts lost starting offensive linemen Anthony Castonzo and Ben Ijalana to injuries. Guard Ryan Diem was inactive.

Painter completed 13 of 30 passes. Garcon turned a short sideline route into an 87-yard score in the second quarter, then took a screen pass and weaved his way through defenders for a 59-yarder in the third.

The 87-yarder was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest play of the season, the fifth-longest pass play in team history and longer than anything Manning has thrown in his NFL career.

The Colts were up 17-10 after Garconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second score, but it was all Tampa Bay in the final 20-plus minutes.

Freeman was 25-of-39 passing, buying time in the pocket and picking apart Indyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zone defense. He got the Bucs on the scoreboard with a one-yard plunge in the second quarter and tied the game at 10 with a 13-yard pass to Preston Parker late in the third.

Blount put them ahead for good when he broke through the line of scrimmage, cut right and scampered for a 35-yard score with 3:15 remaining. Freeman had a huge run on a third-and-six play on the drive.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Three Buckeyes suspended COLUMBUS, OHIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ohio State is in trouble with the NCAA again, this time because three Buckeyes players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including two who have already been sitting out for taking cash and free tattoos â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accepted too much money for too little work in their summer jobs.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher, Daniel Herron, and the top returning receiver, DeVier Posey, along with offensive lineman Marcus Hall will not be permitted to play when the Buckeyes play at No. 14 Nebraska on Saturday.

Athletic Director Gene Smith insisted at a Monday afternoon news conference that there was no â&#x20AC;&#x153;systemicâ&#x20AC;? problem at Ohio State, which has admitted to having several players involved in different NCAA violations over the past 10 months.

He blamed it all on the athletes, former coach Jim Tressel and a booster who Monday was banned from further contact with the Buckeyes.

Cassel in turn took his intensity to the locker room, where he unleashed a verbal tirade directed at the rest of the Chiefs during an impromptu halftime speech straight out of the movies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was screaming and yelling, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We can do this! We can do this!

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Sixth-ranked Cowboys wary of KU’s improved offense

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Perhaps Kansas University’s best chance for success this weekend at Oklahoma State is for the sixth-ranked Cowboys (4-0 overall, 1-0 Big 12) to look past the Jayhawks (2-2, 0-1), who will enter Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. contest in Stillwater, Okla., on the heels of back-to-back losses.

But thanks to KU’s firsthalf efforts against OSU in a 48-14 loss in 2010, that’s not likely to happen.

“Last year they got up on us, and the game was a dog fight,” OSU defensive lineman Cooper Bassett said.

“This past week, they also got up on (Texas) Tech pretty quick. Unfortunately, they had too many turnovers, and they lost the game in the end. We know that we have to be focused on them, and I believe that we will be focused just like we were for our previous games.”

OSU coach Mike Gundy said Monday morning, during the Big 12 coaches teleconference, that he often uses last year’s game with Kansas as a teaching point.

“Offensively, we didn’t start at a good pace, and, because of that, it gave them an opportunity to jump up on us,” Gundy said. “That’s kind of what we talk about

as coaches: You have to start fast and be prepared each week.”

Behind a touchdown pass from Quinn Mecham to Tim Biere and a 24-yard TD run from then-freshman James Sims, the Jayhawks led 1410 after the first quarter and trailed just 20-14 at halftime.

However, OSU outscored Kansas 28-0 in the second half as quarterback Brandon Weeden tossed two touchdown passes and the Cowboys’ defense blocked a punt for a touchdown.

Despite eventually taking control of last year’s game and winning with ease, Gundy said he expected the Jayhawks to pose a challenge Saturday because of their offense.

“They’ve improved, there’s no question about it,” Gundy said. “They’ve improved as much as an offense from a production standpoint as maybe any of the top five or 10 teams in the country.”

Gundy shines on ESPN Gundy spent part of the Cowboys’ bye week in Bristol, Conn., working as a studio analyst for the network’s college football coverage.

Gundy, who worked both on the air and behind the scenes, said he learned a lot from stepping into the shoes of those who normally cover him.

He spent most of the day around ESPN personalities John Anderson, Jesse Palmer and Rece Davis.

“It was interesting to be in an environment with those guys and listen to them comment on things that were happening across the country,” Gundy said. “I thought it was fun to hear how they perceive certain players and certain teams compared to the way we see it as coaches.”

Pressed for more, Gundy went on: “When I watched them, I (had) a greater respect.

It’s not easy Gundy to do what those guys do. Those guys are really good. I don’t know that I have a lot of interest in doing that (after coaching), but it was a great experience.”

Gundy also pointed to having the spotlight on OSU as his reason for doing it.

“I don’t really think we could’ve done anything to get that much exposure,” he said.

“For us to be in an off week and to be fortunate enough to be in the studio with those guys and be off and on the air for seven hours, I couldn’t put a number on what that would be worth from a dollar standpoint in marketing not

BRIEFLY Kansas golf in 12th at Jonie Imes Invite

COLUMBIA, MO. — Kansas University golf was in 12th place out of 15 teams Monday on the first day of the Johnie Imes Invitational.

Thanuttra Boonraksasat led the Jayhawks with rounds only the football program but of 77 and 75 and was tied for Oklahoma State University.”

30th place. Michelle Woods scored the Jayhawks’ lowest Jayhawks addressing round of the day, a 73 in the third-quarter struggles second round.

Monday morning, KU Kansas coach Erin O’Neil coach Turner Gill said one of the focal points for the coaching staff since Saturday’s 4534 loss to Texas Tech had been improving the team’s play in the third quarter, particularly on defense.

The Jayhawks, who rank 119th out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in total defense, have been outscored 76-21 in the third quarter this season, including a 49-0 mark in their two losses.

“In all four ballgames, we’ve done OK offensively,” Gill said. ‘But defensively we haven’t come out the same way we’d like to in the third quarter. So that is something we’re really addressing, trying to see what we need to do and how we need to do it to change the play of our players in the third quarter.”

said she knows KU, which at 615 sits 30 points behind tournament leader Texas State, has a lot of ground to make up in the third and final round today.

“It will be vital for us to fight for each shot until the final putt drops on Tuesday,” O’Neil said. “We also need to make the best possible choices throughout the rounds so that we put ourselves in position to succeed.”

Play at the Invitational will resume at 8:30 a.m. today.

KU-OU kickoff set Kickoff for Kansas’ Oct. 15 contest against Oklahoma, at Memorial Stadium, has been set for 8:15 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPN2.

KU’s last appearance on ESPN2 came Oct. 11, 2008, when the Jayhawks defeated Colorado in Lawrence. KU is 3-3 all-time in games played on the network.

It is imperative that people realize these mood disorders are not weaknesses or character flaws, but real illnesses that can be successfully treated. Sincerely — Greg Montgomery Jr.

‘‘Mysteries at the Museum” (8 p.m., Travel) puts the accent on the weird and unexpected.

Don’t go looking for rare paintings or dinosaur bones. “Mysteries” kicks off with Philadelphia’s Mutter Museum, famous for its medical oddities and curiosities. Chief among them is the plaster death cast of Chang and Eng, preserving the bodies of the original “Siamese twins” in their entirety. For reasons both personal and medical, they often contemplated having their bodies separated. Only after their deaths (less than an hour apart) was it discovered that they shared livers and that any attempt to disjoin them would have been fatal. Their twin livers are also on display.

Hosted by the aptly named Don Wildman, “Mysteries” also travels to the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., which houses an ordinary-looking umbrella that is actually a deadly weapon that was at the center of one of the Cold War’s biggest mysteries.

Wildman also hosts “Off Limits” (9 p.m., Travel) showcasing a cross-county quest for places and artifacts with great stories behind them.

While many prefer to think of World War II as “the good war,” a black and white struggle between good and evil, history is never so uncomplicated. The new series “Nazi Collaborators” (9 p.m., Military Channel) recalls individuals and political organizations that saw benefits in helping Hitler’s regime. And some of these partners would outdo the Nazis in genocidal evil.

The first installment, “The IRA Conspiracy,” examines efforts by the Germans to exploit the Irish Republican Army’s hatred of the British to topple Churchill’s government. Future installments include “Hitler’s Inside Man” (Oct. 18), the story of a Jewish leader in the Lodz ghetto who facilitated his people’s extermination. “God or Evil” (Nov. 29) is about Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who met with Hitler in the hopes that his triumph would bring about a Palestinian state free of the British (not to mention Jews). Focusing on individuals and political organizations, “Collaborators” does not cover corporations that went out of their way to aid the Nazis.

Tonight’s other highlights

On “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC): last night’s action (7 p.m.), live competition and elimination (8 p.m.).

Mike Chang struggles with his course work on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Demographic changes, political realignment and economic calamity spell doom for the great social experiment as “Prohibition” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) concludes.

An awkward wedding celebration on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

A blast from the past on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Carrie’s remarkable recall may clear a hotel maid on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

Zeek gets acting work on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC).

A child vanishes on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

An old enemy becomes an unlikely ally on “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Oct. 4: This year, you could experience considerable stress but not be aware of the impact of that tension. Stop, slow down and become more aware of yourself and your reactions. If you are single, meeting someone could cause extra stress. Only you can determine if this is worthwhile. If you are attached, share more of your feelings with your loved one. Be careful with Capricorn. They often test your endurance.

Dear Annie: I am a former professional football player. During my career as a punter, I enjoyed stints on the Oilers, Lions and Ravens and led the NFL in the yardsper-punt average three times.

I was even selected to play in the 1994 Pro Bowl. Despite my success on the field, life off the field was more challenging. For years, I suffered in silence with a debilitating illness. Due to my extremely high expectations, I was constantly consumed by an “unquiet mind” and the performance anxiety that came with it. Prior to the 1997 season, after nine years in the NFL, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, is an illness in which people alternate between feeling very good (“highs” or mania) and very bad (“lows” or depression).

The mood swings can be quick and severe, ranging from extreme energy to deep despair. These variations are different from ordinary mood changes. Bipolar mood episodes disrupt normal life activities.

As a man, and even more so as a professional football player, I was taught to work through the pain and tough it out. But after a decade of ignoring my symptoms, the disease began to take its toll.

BASEBALL PLAYOFFS ALDS

NLDS

Tigers go up 2-1

D’backs expect to rally

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander struck out 11 in eight gritty innings, and Jose Valverde stopped a New York Yankees rally for the second straight night, whiffing Derek Jeter with two on to close out the Detroit Tigers’ 5-4 victory Monday.

Delmon Young hit a tiebreaking homer in seventh off Rafael Soriano, and the Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five American League playoff, pushing the Yankees to the brink of elimination.

Their hopes ride Tuesday night on A.J. Burnett, the $82.5 million pitcher who was so unreliable this season that he wasn’t supposed to get a start in this series. A rainstorm changed all that when Game 1 was suspended Friday night, forcing both teams to alter their pitching plans.

“Trust me, they’re not going to go away,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “We’ve put ourselves in a decent position, but we’ve still got more to accomplish. So this is a long way from being over.”

Verlander and New York ace CC Sabathia were back on the mound after their series-opening matchup at Yankee Stadium was halted after only 11⁄2 innings.

While Sabathia didn’t make it through the sixth Monday, Verlander was still hitting 100 mph on the stadium radar gun in the eighth.

“There’s so much adrenaline in a situation like this,” he said. “I was a little out of rhythm in the first, and then found it, and then lost it for three batters, and it shows what this lineup can do. I lost my rhythm for three batters and they scored (two) runs to tie the game. But this team has a never-say-die attitude.

PHOENIX (AP) — Down in the standings or down to their last out, the Arizona Diamondbacks found a way to rally all season, riding their comebacks back into the playoffs.

After two lackluster games in Milwaukee, the Diamondbacks need one last big comeback or it’s going to be a short return to the postseason.

Rangers hold off Rays ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (AP) — Once again, the Texas Rangers look perfectly comfortable under the roof at Tropicana Field.

Colby Lewis outpitched All-Star David Price, Mike Napoli hit a go-ahead homer and the defending AL champions survived a shaky effort from the bullpen to hold off the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, Monday in Game 3 of their best-of-five playoff.

The Rangers’ fourth straight division series road win matched the third-longest streak in major league history and gave them a 2-1 lead heading into Game 4. Texas won three ALDS games at Tampa Bay a year ago, when it eliminated the Rays in five games.

The Rangers will send lefthander Matt Harrison to the mound today against rookie Jeremy Hellickson.

“We don’t take these guys lightly because they’ve got momentum, they’ve got a lot of heart,” Rangers CEO and president Nolan Ryan said.

“That concerns you a lot, and so we know we’ve got our hands full with them.”

Playing in front of the first sellout at home since opening day and hoping to recapture the magic of clinching the AL wild card in the regularseason fianle, Tampa Bay got a pair of solo home runs from rookie Desmond Jennings.

The Rays kept it interesting

TEXAS’ MIKE NAPOLI (25) HITS a two-run home run against Tampa Bay. The Rangers upended Tampa Bay, 4-3, Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla. by scoring twice off Rangers relievers before Neftali Feliz got four outs for his second save of the series.

Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre, playing deep and guarding the line to prevent a double in the ninth, started an around-the-horn double play on Kelly Shoppach’s grounder to end it.

“It was three of the toughest innings that we experienced all year. ... I am just so happy we were able to get the 27th out,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said.

Lately, opponents have found that difficult to do against Tampa Bay.
