City to recycle old trash cans Get ready to say goodbye to those old trash cans. As crews begin to wrap up their distribution of the new city-mandated trash carts, residents soon will have their first opportunity to recycle their old trash cans. City crews will come to residents’ curbs Friday morning to pick up any trash cans they no longer want to keep. The city asks that all trash cans be set out by 6 a.m. and that they be empty of trash. Residents should mark an “X� on the can to make it clear that it is to be taken by crews. Plastic trash cans will be recycled by Rehrig Pacific, a cart manufacturer that will use the plastic to make new trash carts. Metal trash cans will be recycled for scrap metal. City officials, however, are reminding residents they can keep their trash cans, if they so choose. Residents can use trash cans to set out yard waste materials. Residents, though, must use their city-issued, wheeled trash cart for their standard refuse. The city will host one other trash can recycling day. It is set for Friday, Nov. 16.

At KU competition, young Tax cuts starting engineers’ goals are far-flung to show in drops in

revenue forecasts

High schoolers try to build the best launchers

—————

State estimated to take in almost $1B less in 2014 than in 2012

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

As Cal Young, Lucas Suchy and Thomas Ezell crouched over the pile of wooden blocks, their hands snaked in and out without hesitation. Their arms intertwined but never tangled as, without any hesitation, they built a guard tower during the two minutes they were allotted. They knew just what to do, as they’d done it five times today already: one layer of blocks standing up, formed in a triangle, then one layer of blocks laid flat. Then repeat. Young, Suchy and Ezell, all Lawrence High School seniors, were taking part in the KU School of Engineering’s annual High School Design Competition on Tuesday. In the competition’s main event, called “Rock Chalk Renaissance,� 65 four-student teams from 24 different area schools brought in mechanical launchers they’d been constructing for weeks beforehand. One portion of the event simulated a medieval battle between kingdoms: Students had to fire Hacky Sacks with their launcher over a tower constructed by their opponents out of wooden blocks and knock over a chess piece atop a plastic jug — before their opponents knocked over theirs.

Perry woman killed in fire A 64-year-old Perry woman died early Tuesday morning during a house fire, Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig said. Mary Quezada was found dead in a home at 209 Main St. when emergency crews arrived shortly before 9:30 a.m. An autopsy will be performed, but Herrig said officials anticipate the cause of death will be smoke inhalation. No one else was home during the fire, which Herrig said appeared to be accidental. Multiple crews assisted during the fire. Herrig said they expected the house to be declared a total loss. — Shaun Hittle

Zebra mussels found in lake KANSAS CITY, KAN. — State wildlife officials have found invasive zebra mussels in an eastern Kansas lake. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says a recent survey found both larval and adult zebra mussels at the 407acre Wyandotte County Lake. The agency says there are now 17 Kansas reservoirs and lakes infested with the aquatic nuisances. Zebra mussels are beansized mollusks with striped shells that have been spread around the world via cargo ships.

MEMBERS OF THE LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL LIONS TEAM THREE FIRE THEIR CATAPULT during the Kansas University School of Engineering’s High School Design competition Tuesday at Eaton Hall on the KU campus. Teams competed in accuracy and velocity events. The Lions Three team was made up of students from Lawrence High School’s engineering design class, which includes students from Free State High School. From left are seniors Wilson Hack, of Free State, Austin Abbott, of Lawrence High, Tyler Bradfield, of Lawrence High and Logan Bannister, of Free State. That event, called “Defend Your Castle,� played out in a head-to-head, double-elimination tournament. The team including Young, Suchy and Ezell, as well as LHS senior Scott Voigt, bowed out two matches away from the championship. Victory was not the primary thing on the team’s mind, though, Voigt said. “We’re really just interested in, you know, making this thing shoot,� he said. “This thing� was a

spring-loaded cannon. The team would pull back a handle to set the spring strength, place the bags on top of a wooden piston and tamp them down with a metal stick, which was decorated like a sword, in keeping with the medieval theme. “And it’s just cool,� said Voigt, who is planning to study engineering at KU starting next year. Before each match, the team had two minutes to use a set of wooden blocks to quickly assemble a guard tower, working

from a computer sketch that the team spent weeks preparing. Five teams participated from the engineering design class taught by Charlie Lauts at Lawrence High School, which also includes students from Free State High School. The teams have been planning and building their launchers for about three weeks during and outside of class, she said. Lauts said the project was so intensive, with so Please see CATAPULT, page 4A

The tax cuts signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback are starting to show up big time in the form of reductions in projected revenue needed to run state government. On Tuesday, state financial experts met to determine the amount of revenue available for legislators and Brownback to make budget decisions next session. The group’s revised projection of $6.17 billion for the current fiscal year is 3.8 percent less than receipts in the last fiscal year. But the revenue estimates take a deeper hit in fiscal year 2014, when the tax cuts are fully implemented. At that point, the state is expected to collect $5.46 billion, which is nearly $1 billion less than current revenue levels. Does that mean deep budget cuts, tax increases or a combination of the two will be needed to bridge the revenue shortfall? Not necessarily, said Brownback’s Budget Director Steve Anderson. “We don’t anticipate cuts near that amount,� Anderson said. The Brownback tax cuts

will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes. The package also decreases individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent, and increases the standard deduction. Brownback said the cuts will grow the economy. But House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said the new revenue estimates are more evidence “that Gov. Brownback’s tax plan has put Kansas on the path to bankruptcy. As the rest of the country inches its way out of the recession, Kansas will face yet another devastating budget deficit.� At the news conference of the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, Anderson repeated Brownback’s vow to protect public school funding, which makes up half the budget. Mark Tallman, a lobbyist with the Kansas Association of School Boards, said he was glad to hear Anderson’s comments on school funding but he noted, “To do that you would have to make very deep cuts in other areas of the budget or find additional revenues.� Please see REVENUE, page 4A

Pilot from Lawrence dies in plane crash By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A 52-year-old Lawrence pilot was killed when the single-engine Cessna Caravan plane he was operating crashed near Wichita shortly after 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. The pilot was identified as Brian P. Quinn. According to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman, the plane, owned by FedEx, crashed shortly after departing from Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita. Tony Molinaro, spokesman for the FAA, said the pilot reported engine trouble shortly after taking off.

Molinaro says the pilot was trying to return to the Wichita airport when the crash occurred about two miles from the airport. The plane was headed to Garden City. According to information from the FAA, the plane, model 208B, was manufactured in 1991. The plane was being operated by Baron Aviation out of Missouri. A spokeswoman from the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office said Quinn was the only person on board. — The Associated Press contributed to this report.

many requirements and specifications to meet, that no team member could afford to slack off. Some students had to learn that their first idea is not always the best, a lesson that took longer for some than others. Students also had to grapple with the concept of a firm project deadline, all the while scheduling around one another’s football practices, basketball conditioning sessions and after-school jobs. “There are a lot of life lessons in this kind of thing,� Lauts said.

But Anderson said other variables exist.

The recent drought, Gilliland said, has had a negative impact on agriculture and oil production because of the lack of water to use in horizontal drilling.

Q:

I am going to be out of state this winter and spring for work. I love following the Jayhawks, but I’m not sure how to do that outside of Kansas. Is there a way to watch or listen to KU basketball on the Internet?

A:

Chris Theisen, KU assistant athletic director for communications, said KU fans have a few options for getting radio and TV broadcasts on the road. To listen online, fans can sign up for Jayhawks All-Access on KUathletics.com. It provides — among other features — complete radio broadcasts of KU men’s basketball and football games for a subscription cost of $9.95 per month or $79.95 per year. Typically, most KU basketball games also are available on the subscription-based SiriusXM Radio, though on some

KU away games, fans will hear the home team’s radio broadcast instead of the call from KU’s broadcast team of Bob Davis and Greg Gurley. Fans can watch the games online at ESPN3. com, provided they receive their high-speed Internet or cable TV subscription from an affiliated service provider (ESPN3 shows every regular-season KU game except for four scheduled to be televised on CBS). To see the games on television, fans also have the option of ordering ESPN Full Court through their local cable or satellite provider.

Fewer voters turn out in Douglas County than in 2008 Nearly 60% of residents vote for Obama, 36% for Romney By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The excitement from four years ago largely was gone, but the blue tint to Douglas County remained Tuesday night. President Barack Obama won an easy victory in Douglas County on Tuesday night, and Democrats in local races cruised to large victories. Fewer residents, however, turned out to vote in Douglas County compared with four years ago, and the raucous celebrations of 2008 were replaced by mainly lethargic crowds filing out of the Douglas County Courthouse well before final vote tallies were announced about 10:15 p.m. “I did not sense there was quite the intensity of support for probably either presidential candidate as there was in 2008,” said Rep. Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who serves as the Kansas House Minority leader and who faced no opposition Tuesday in his district. “But I sensed it would be a good night for Democrats here. We have

Obama fell short of capturing the 64.68 percent of the vote that he won in Douglas County four years ago. Far fewer voters also turned out for this election. Voter turnout was listed at 59.45 percent, al-

though the total is expected to rise some as about 2,600 provisional and overseas ballots are added to the total in the coming days. In 2008, turnout was at 64.68 percent and a record of nearly 54,000 voters cast ballots in the election. At the end of Tuesday night, county election officials had counted 46,781 ballots. “We did have some stu-

strength in both chambers. It was unclear how much that balance had shifted as tight races came down to the wire across the state. The legislative campaigns were dominated by debate over the massive tax cuts approved in the last legislative session and whether the cuts were so large they would cut into school and social service spending. Legislative research staff estimate the tax cuts will produce a budget deficit of $2.5 billion within a few years, and Democrats argued that will lead to higher property taxes and cuts to schools. The political landscape was further upended in June when three federal judges redrew political boundaries after the Legislature failed to complete that task. On the legislative side, significant boundary changes shifted state Senate and House districts across the rest of Kansas. Campaign spending from outside groups hit record levels, with the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity and the billionaire Koch brothers supporting conservative Republicans, while the Kansas National Education Association and other unions supported Democrats and moderate Republicans.

Senate District 2 Francisco defeated Republican Ron Ellis, a retired teacher and cattle rancher from Meriden. Francisco was ahead 67 percent to 33 percent in incomplete returns. In seeking her third term in the Senate, Francisco, a former mayor of Lawrence, said she would propose legislation scaling back the Brownback tax cut. A portion of that taxcutting package will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from state income taxes. Francisco says she will propose limiting the passthrough business income tax exemption to the first $100,000 of nonwage income. “I hope there is a willingness to go back and look at the tax measure,” she said. While many of the Senate races featured sharp

Francisco defeated Republican opponent Ronald Ellis and Ballard defeated Republican Patrick Bengtson in Tuesday’s elections. contrasts on policies, Francisco and Ellis agreed on several major issues. Like Francisco, Ellis said the Brownback tax cuts have cut too deep. And Ellis and Francisco also said that recent state budget cuts to schools needed to be restored. Ellis said he saw firsthand in the Oskaloosa school district how those cuts led to larger class sizes, employee layoffs and staff reductions through not filling positions vacated by retirements. This was Ellis’ first run for elective office, but he had been active for years in Republican Party politics, working for the election of GOP candidates, including Brownback. The Kansas Chamber of Commerce had endorsed Ellis in the race. Under the new district lines, a large portion of the 2nd District moved north into Jefferson County, but the major population was in Lawrence. Hoarse from campaigning, Ellis said it was difficult for a person not from Lawrence to win the district. He said he was glad that the race had been respectful. “I wish her well,” he said of Francisco. “Hopefully we’ll get more funding for education,” he said.

Senate District 3 Holland, D-Baldwin City, overcame state Rep. Anthony Brown, REudora, in a hard-fought campaign for the 3rd Senate District that featured sharp contrasts on statewide and local issues. Holland and Brown, both legislative veterans, tangled over school finance, tax cuts and safety issues along Kansas Highway 10. A 2011 traffic fatality

on K-10 spurred a move by local officials to get the state to install cable median barriers along certain sections of the road. Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson said when the community sought help from the Legislature, Holland answered the request and Brown didn’t. “He basically left us high and dry,” Hopson said of Brown. Brown struck back, saying he had worked “tirelessly” behind the scenes with the Brownback administration. He pointed to a July letter from Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Mike King, who thanked Brown “for your ongoing concern to see this project through.” King was appointed secretary by Brownback in March. But former KDOT Secretary Deb Miller, who served from 2003 through 2011, said Holland and Hopson “were involved from start to finish in the discussions that led to the installation of new safety barriers in the highway median. Rep. Anthony Brown simply was not.” Another local controversy erupted when Brown said that two Eudora school board members told him that state cuts to school funding were positive because they allowed the district to get rid of some “dead weight” in the district. Brown refused to identify the school board members, and all of the board members denied Brown’s claim. On the wider issue of state school finance, Holland said the Brownback tax cuts that Brown voted for will decimate education funding in future years. But Brown has said the tax cuts will help

dent turnout in this election, but it wasn’t to the extent that it was in 2008,” said Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew. Shew, though, said several nonstudent neighborhoods in the city had strong turnout, with levels of more than 75 percent. The election was the first where voters were required to show photo identification at the polls. Shew said he heard of few prob-

boost the economy and put more money in the hands of Kansans. Brown is among the group of conservative Republicans in the Legislature backed by groups affiliated with Brownback, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, the Koch brothers and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Meanwhile, Holland, who was unsuccessful as the Democratic nominee for governor in 2010, was endorsed by the Kansas National Education Association, the MainStream Coalition, Kansas Citizens for Higher Education, Economic Lifelines and Independence Inc. The district changed under the judicial redistricting order by gaining much of southeast Lawrence, which had been represented by Francisco. Brown decided to run for the 3rd Senate District after the 38th House District, which he had represented, was moved into Johnson County. Brown said he was unsure about his political future. “I don’t think any doors have been shut,” he said.

Senate District 19 Hensley, the longest serving legislator in Kansas and the Democratic leader in the Senate, overcame a challenge from political newcomer Casey Moore, a Republican who has lived in Kansas for six years. Both candidates live in Topeka and, while the majority of the district is in Topeka, under the new redistricting plan, it has taken in a large portion of western Douglas County. Moore criticized Hensley’s longevity in the Legislature, saying he was out of step with the district. Moore was born the same year Hensley was first elected to the Legislature. But Hensley said his 36 years in the Statehouse, first in the House and, since 1992, in the Senate, proved that his constituents thought he was doing a good job. The two fought over taxes, with Hensley saying that the cuts signed into law by Brownback would benefit wealthy Kansans and squeeze state funds to schools and social services. Moore signed on to Brownback’s philosophy that the cuts would help job creators create more jobs. Moore said he favored more tax cuts. Moore sometimes attacked Hensley personal-

lems related to the new voter identification rules. “I think for the most part it went very well,” Shew said. “I think most people were prepared.” Shew said he gave strict instructions to his poll workers that no one would be denied a ballot because he or she did not have proper photo identification. Instead, registered voters without photo identification were given a provisional ballot. Voters will have between now and Nov. 15, when the ballots are officially canvassed by Douglas County commissioners, to produce a valid photo identification. Shew said the county had about 2,200 provisional ballots, but he was unsure how many were related to voter identification issues. There are multiple other reasons a ballot can be cast as provisional, he said. Shew said his office will call all voters who cast a provisional ballot because of a voter identification issue to remind them that they must bring in their photo IDs before their ballots will be counted. “We have made a very firm commitment that no voter would be disenfranchised,” Shew said. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

ly, questioning Hensley’s status as a teacher in the Topeka public school system while serving as a legislator. The school district said Hensley was not paid while working in the Legislature, and Hensley said he made up for his work absences by working summer school. Moore, who has worked as a singles pastor, written a book on Christian dating and now trades commodities in his home, received the support of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Americans for Prosperity, a group that doesn’t have to disclose how much it raises or spends. Hensley had the support of education groups and retired state employees.

House District 44 Ballard, D-Lawrence, won another two-year term representing Kansas House District 44 by defeating Republican political newcomer Patrick Bengtson, 71 percent to 29 percent with 15 of 16 precincts reporting. Ballard, first elected in 1992, said she will work to try to restore cuts that have been made over the past several years to public schools. “We are going to have a long conversation on school funding,” Ballard said. Bengtson, an attorney from Lawrence, was making his first run for office. He also campaigned on the need for more school funding and said the district needed a new voice. He congratulated Ballard, thanked his supporters and said he hoped that during the next legislation session “more common ground can be found.” House District 10 Democrat John Wilson, of Lawrence, defeated Republican Erica Anderson, of Baldwin City, in House District 10. The district has been represented by state Rep. TeriLois Gregory, a Republican. In redrawing the district boundaries, federal judges removed Franklin County precincts and made the district wholly in Douglas County. Gregory then moved from Baldwin City to Ottawa and launched an unsuccessful run for the GOP nomination in the 59th House District. Gregory had endorsed Anderson. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Eudora voters OK government switch Voters in Eudora easily approved a change in its form of city government on Tuesday. Eudora residents approved by 66.81 percent to 33.19 percent a provision that will switch Eudora’s city government from a mayor/city council form of government to a city manager/city commission form of government. The change means voters no longer will directly elect a mayor who has the power to appoint department heads in the city. Instead, city commissioners will elect one of their own members to serve as mayor. Department heads will be appointed by the city manager/administrator. A total of 1,546 Eudora residents voted for the change, while 768 voted against the measure.

years. The district includes most of East and North Lawrence as well as rural eastern Douglas County and the cities of Eudora and Baldwin City. Speaking while she watched the returns come in at the Douglas County Courthouse, Thellman acknowledged that she was helped in both races by the fact that Democrat Barack Obama was at the top of the ticket. Obama was carrying Douglas County in unofficial late returns, 64 percent to 34 percent, although he was losing the state overall. “No doubt it helps in turnout, riding the wave of a presidential election,” Thellman said. “In the offyear, two years from now, when the next County Commission race is, I would suspect it won’t be quite the big event.” Male, a businessman and board member of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said he had felt good about the campaign going into Election Day. “I had a good message, knocked on a lot of doors, talked to a lot of people and had good people behind me,” Male said. Much of the campaign had focused on economic development and the candidates’ contrasting views about the county’s role in attracting new jobs and businesses. Male campaigned on the need to attract “primary jobs” to the area, which he described as private-sector jobs mainly involving manufacturing or professional services that bring new money into the community. Thellman, by contrast, had taken a more expansive view of economic development during her first term, supporting efforts to help a local manufacturing company expand while also promoting investments in cultural and natural heritage projects to draw tourism and related business to the county. Thellman’s victory Tuesday night means there will be no change on the commission next year. Third District Commissioner Jim Flory, a Republican, was also up for re-election but faced no opposition. The 1st District seat, currently held by Democrat Mike Gaughan, will be up for re-election in 2014.

Jenkins defeats Schlingensiepen in U.S. House race U.S. REP. LYNN JENKINS, R-KAN., WATCHES RESULTS with Kansas House candidate Shanti Gandhi at the Republican election watch party in Topeka on Tuesday.

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Enjoying large advantages in money and voter registration, U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, on Tuesday was winning a third term in Congress over political newcomer Tobias Schlingensiepen. Jenkins held a 55 percent to 39 percent lead over Schlingensiepen, a Topeka minister, with almost all precincts counted. Libertarian Dennis Hawver, an attorney from Ozawkie, had 6 percent. The new wrinkle thrown into the race was the order by three federal judges in June that placed all of Lawrence and Douglas County into the 2nd District. For the previous 10 years, Lawrence had

been divided between the 2nd and Johnson Countybased 3rd districts. But even with Democratic-leaning Douglas County wholly in the 2nd, Jenkins enjoyed a nearly 10 percentage-point advantage in Republican registered voters in the district that includes most of eastern Kansas, stretching from the state’s borders with Nebraska to Oklahoma.

In campaign finance, Jenkins reported having $1.4 million in cash on hand in the final month of the campaign, while Schlingensiepen’s warchest was at $50,420. During the race, Schlingensiepen said lobbyist wining and dining and special interest campaign contributions were corrupting Congress, and he said Jenkins was part of

that problem. He noted that she took hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from banks, insurance and financial companies while voting against regulations of those interests that he said were aimed at safeguarding consumers. But Jenkins, a former state legislator and state treasurer, said she voted against regulations that hurt small banks in the district. She touted her record of voting against President Barack Obama’s proposals, including a vote to repeal Obamacare. “They believe government can solve our problems, while I believe that in many cases, government is the problem,” she

said of Democrats. On the issue of Medicare, Schlingensiepen said the proposed overhaul that Jenkins voted for would have increased the cost of health care by more than $6,000 per senior citizen, but Jenkins said the plan was necessary to keep Medicare from going bankrupt. The two also disagreed on funding to Public Broadcasting. Schlingensiepen defended the relatively small amount of government dollars, while Jenkins said she would pull the plug. Jenkins said after the election she believed Congress would work on an overhaul of the tax system in a way to lower rates and eliminate loopholes. Schlingensiepen had

survived a three-candidate primary, defeating runner-up Bob Eye, an attorney from Lawrence. Last year, Schlingensiepen, a minister at First Congregational Church, helped form a coalition to fight Brownback when the Republican governor proposed shutting down the Kansas Neurological Institute, which is a state hospital that serves those with profound disabilities. KNI remains open. Jenkins, a certified public accountant, defeated former GOP Rep. Jim Ryun in the 2008 primary and then Democratic incumbent Nancy Boyda, who had unseated Ryun two years earlier. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Area youths cast their ballots By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

More than 3,000 elementary through high school students in Douglas County cast ballots in the Kids Voting project Tuesday, producing results that were similar in many cases to those of their parents. According to tallies from the Kids Voting Douglas County project, President Barack Obama, a Democrat, carried the local youth vote by a margin of 2,309 to 839 over Republican Mitt Romney, or 66 percent to 24 percent. Adults in Douglas

County also gave Obama the lead, about 60 percent to 37 percent. Kids Voting is a nationwide project aimed at getting young people involved in the voting process at an early age in hopes of making them lifelong voters and increasing participation in other areas of civic life. In other races, Douglas County youths voted for Democrat Tobias Schlingensiepen, 50 percent to 46 percent, over Republican incumbent Lynn Jenkins in the 2nd District congressional race. Among adult voters, Schlingensiepen carried

Douglas County with 56 percent of the vote, compared with 40 percent for Jenkins. Statewide, about 48,000 students in Kansas participated in the process. “Many students in Kansas participated in ‘learn by doing’ Kids Voting activities in the classroom to prepare for Election Day,” said Emily Bradbury, executive director of Kids Voting Kansas. “Election Day becomes a true celebration as our youth have the opportunity to see for themselves how the process works and how they can make a difference by participating.”

Democrat Carolyn Campbell coasted to a clear victory Tuesday night in a race to keep her seat on the Kansas State Board of Education. That means, in all likelihood, the board will remain in the control of social moderates next year when it’s scheduled to adopt new curriculum standards in science and social studies, subjects that often ignite heated political controversy. Unofficial returns late Tuesday showed Campbell winning the 4th District race, 71 percent to 29 percent, over Republican challenger Jack Wu, a member of Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka. That church is known for its strident anti-homosexual protests. Wu had run on a platform opposing the teaching of evolution in public school science classes. “I heard someone say it could be a close race, but I never really felt like it would be a close race,” Campbell said. “I just felt like once we got the message out about what he stood for, as opposed to my life and my credentials promoting public education, it wouldn’t be.” Democrats and moderate Republicans had feared the Campbell-Wu race might be a wild card that could have gone either way. That’s partly because State Board of Education races historically do not attract the same level of campaign activity or media attention as other races. Also, court-ordered redistricting this year changed the 4th District substantially, taking in portions of Pottawatomie and Jefferson counties, which tend to be more Republican.

KANSAS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION CANDIDATE CAROLYN CAMPBELL hugs Douglas County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist during a Democratic watch party on Tuesday at The Dynamite Saloon, 821 Massachusetts St. “We worked very hard to make sure that people who traditionally go straight down the ballot wouldn’t automatically (vote Republican),” Campbell said. “I had friends in Jefferson County that were Republicans that were working very hard to make sure people knew the difference between Mr. Wu and me.” Each district on the state board consists of exactly four state Senate districts. Because there are 40 senate districts, there are 10 state board districts. Board members serve four year terms, with half of the seats coming up for election every two years. Currently, social moderates hold a 7-to-3 advantage on the board, depending on the issue at hand, and it appeared Tuesday night they would retain that lead. In the 6th District of central Kansas, Republican Deena Horst, a former state legislator, beat Democratic challenger Carol Viar. Horst, a moderate, will replace Kathy Martin, a conservative who did not run for another term. But in the 2nd District of Johnson County, conservative Republican Steve Roberts edged out Democrat Cindy Neigh-

bor, 53 percent to 47 percent, according to unofficial results. Roberts will succeed Democrat Sue Storm, who could not run for re-election because redistricting shifted her out of the district. Roberts has said he does not support teaching creationism or intelligent design in science classes. But he does support relaxing teacher licensing requirements to make it easier for “second career teachers” to transition from the private sector into teaching. In the 8th District, incumbent Walt Chappell, a Wichita Republican who was often hard to classify on the political spectrum, lost in the GOP primary to Kathy Busch, a former Wichita school administrator. Busch did not face opposition in the general election. And in the 10th District, board Chairman David Dennis, also a Wichita Republican, did not run for re-election. He will be succeeded by fellow Republican Jim McNiece, a former educator who has worked as a principal in public, parochial and charter schools. McNiece had no opponent in the general election.

SUPPORTERS CHEER AS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SPEAKS during an election night party early today in Chicago. Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Obama CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

He summoned all Americans to pray for Obama and urged the night’s political winners to put partisan bickering aside and “reach across the aisle� to tackle the nation’s problems. Still, after the costliest — and one of the nastiest — campaigns in history, divided government was alive and well. Democrats retained control of the Senate with surprising ease. Republicans did the same in the House, ensuring that Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Obama’s partner in unsuccessful deficit talks, would reclaim his seat at the bargaining table. At Obama headquarters in Chicago, a huge crowd gathered waving small American flags and cheering. Supporters hugged each other, danced and pumped their fists in the air. Excited crowds also gathered in New York’s Times Square, at Faneuil Hall in Boston and near the White House in Washington, drivers joyfully honking as they passed by. With returns from 84 percent of the nation’s precincts, Obama had 53.7 million, 49.6 percent of the popular vote. Romney had 53 million, or 48.9 percent. The president’s laserlike focus on the battleground states allowed him to run up a 303-206 margin in the competition for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, the count that mattered most. Remarkably, given the sour economy, he lost only two states that he captured in 2008: Indiana and North Carolina. Florida, another Obama state four years ago, remained too close to call.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY arrives to his election night rally in Boston. President Barack Obama defeated the Republican challenger. The election emerged as a choice between two very different visions of government — whether it occupies a major, frontrow place in American lives or is in the background as a less-obtrusive facilitator for private enterprise and entrepreneurship. The economy was rated the top issue by about 60 percent of voters surveyed as they left their polling places. But more said former President George W. Bush bore responsibility for current circumstances than Obama did after nearly four years in office. That boded well for the president, who had worked to turn the election into a choice between his proposals and Romney’s, rather than a simple referendum on the economy during his time in the White House. Unemployment stood at 7.9 percent on Election Day, higher than when he took office. And despite signs of progress, the economy is still struggling after the worst recession in history. Obama captured Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado and Nevada, seven of the nine states where

the rivals and their allies poured nearly $1 billion into dueling television commercials. Romney won North Carolina among the battleground states. Florida was too close to call, Obama leading narrowly in a state where there were still long lines of voters at some polling places long after the appointed closing time. Romney, who grew wealthy in business and ran the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City before entering politics, spoke only briefly to supporters, some of whom wept. “I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction,� he said. “But the nation chose another leader and so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.� Moments later, Obama stepped before a far different crowd hundreds of miles away. “Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual,� he said. He pledged to work with leaders of both parties to help the nation complete its recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s victory means that everything he campaigned upon is alive and about to drive the political conversation with his adversaries. Every legacy of his first term is safe and enshrined to history. Yet big honeymoons don’t come twice and Republicans won’t swoon. If Obama cannot end gridlock, his second term will be reduced to veto threats, empty promises, end runs around Congress and legacy-sealing forays into foreign lands. Obama will push for higher taxes on the wealthy as a way to shrinking a choking debt and to steer money toward the programs he wants. He will try to land a massive financial deficit-cutting deal with Congress in the coming months and then move on to an immigration overhaul, tax reform and other bipartisan dreams. He will not have to worry that his health care law will be repealed, or that his Wall Street reforms will be gutted, or that his name will be consigned to the list of oneterm presidents who got fired before they could finish. Voters stuck with him because they trusted him more to solve the struggles of their lifetime. America may not be filled with hope anymore, but it told Mitt Romney to keep his change. And voters sure didn’t shake up the rest of Washington, either. They put back all the political players who have

ers wanted the president they knew. They believed convincingly that Obama, not Romney, understood their woes of college costs and insurance bills and sleepless nights. Exit polls shows that voters thought far more of them viewed Obama as the voice of the poor and the middle class, and Romney the guy tilting toward the rich. The voice of the voter came through from 42-yearold Bernadette Hatcher in Indianapolis, who voted after finishing an overnight shift at a warehouse. “It’s all about what he’s doing,� she said. “No one can correct everything in four years. Especially the economy.� Formidable and seasoned by life, Romney had in his pocket corporate success and a Massachusetts governor’s term and the lessons of a first failed presidential bid. “I mean, I looked,� said Tamara Johnson of Apex, N.C., a 35-year-old mother of two young children. “I didn’t feel I got the answers I wanted or needed to hear. And that’s why I didn’t sway that way.� It seemed like the whole country endured it until the end, when the crowds grew and the candidates reached for their most inspiring words. “Americans don’t settle. We build, we aspire, we listen to that voice inside that says ‘We can do better,� Romney pleaded toward that end. Americans agreed. They just wanted Obama to take them there.

In states hit by Superstorm Sandy, voters find ways to polls By Beth Fouhy and Maryclaire Dale Associated Press

The president likely will be dealing again with a Republican-run House, whose leader, Speaker John Boehner, declared on election night that his party is the one with the mandate: no higher taxes. Obama will still have his firewall in the Senate, with Democrats likely to hang on to their narrow majority. But they don’t have enough to keep Republicans from bottling up any major legislation with delaying tactics. So the burden falls on the president to find compromise, not just demand it from the other side. For now, he can revel in knowing what he pulled off. Obama won despite an economy that sucked away much of the nation’s spirit. He won with the highest unemployment rate for any incumbent since the Great Depression. He won even though voters said they thought Romney would be the better choice to end stalemate in Washington. He won even though a huge majority of voters said they were not better off than they were four years ago — a huge test of survival for a president. The suspense was over early because Obama won all over the battleground map, and most crucially in Ohio. That’s where he rode his bailout support for the auto industry to a victory that crushed Romney’s chances. The reason is that vot-

Good news for coast: Nor’easter to weaken By Malcolm Ritter Associated Press

NEW YORK — Weather experts had good news for beleaguered northeast coastal residents Tuesday: A new storm that threatened to complicate Hurricane Sandy cleanup efforts today now looks like it will be weaker than expected. As the storm moves up the Atlantic coast from Florida it now is expected to veer farther offshore than earlier projections had indicated. Jeff Mas-

ters of the private weather service Weather Underground says that means less wind and rainfall on land. Even so, he said winds could still gust to 50 mph in New York and New Jersey this afternoon and evening. And Lauren Nash, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service, said wind gusts might blow down tree limbs weakened from Sandy and cause more power outages. Tonight, gusts may occasionally reach 60 mph

in coastal Connecticut and Long Island, she said. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned Tuesday that high winds may mean some residents who regained power will lose it again, and the wind could also slow efforts to restore power. There is “nothing we can do to stop the storms,� he said. Storm surges along the coasts of New Jersey and New York are expected to reach perhaps 3 feet, only half to a third of what Hurricane Sandy caused last week, Masters said. While

that should produce only minor flooding, he said it will still cause some erosion problems along the New Jersey coast and the shores of Long Island, where Sandy destroyed some protective dunes. In New York City, Mayor Mike Bloomberg said people who remained in some extremely floodprone areas would be asked to leave their homes voluntarily “out of precaution.� The city ordered construction stopped and parks closed for the upcoming storm.

Measure of U.S. home prices rises 5% WASHINGTON — A measure of U.S. home prices jumped 5 percent in September compared with a year ago, the largest yearover-year increase since July 2006. The gain reported by CoreLogic offered more evidence of a sustainable housing recovery. The real estate data provider also said Tuesday that prices declined 0.3 percent in September from August, the first drop after six straight increases. The monthly figures are not seasonally adjusted. CoreLogic says the monthly decline reflects the end of the summer home-buying season and not a softening in the housing recovery. Steady price increases should give the housing market more momentum when home sales pick up

in the spring. Rising prices encourage more homeowners to sell their homes and entice would-be buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further. Other measures have also shown healthy gains in home prices over the past year. The Standard & Poor’s/Case Shiller 20-city index rose 2 percent in August compared with a year ago, a faster pace than the previous month. The price gains in the past year reported by CoreLogic were widespread. Prices have risen in all but seven states. And they declined in only 18 out of 100 large cities that are tracked by the index. Some of the biggest increases were in states that suffered the worst from the housing bust.

Water issue The public should be more aware and concerned about the move, during current drought conditions, to release more water from Kansas reservoirs to facilitate the operation of the new Bowersock power plant.

O

n Sunday, while most Lawrence residents were focused on resetting their clocks, another, more important, reset was taking place on the Kansas River without any of the notice given to the end of daylight saving time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began increasing the flow on the river to fill the “mill pond” created to drive turbines at the new Bowersock Mills power plant in Lawrence. More than 900 million gallons of water ultimately will be released from the river system’s already droughtdepleted reservoirs so that “green” energy can be sold to Kansas City, Kan.’s Board of Public Utilities to benefit the Bowersock operation. The release of water for Bowersock comes at a time when inflows into reservoirs in the Kansas-Lower Republican basin already were lagging outflows. It also comes when all of Kansas is considered to be in at least extreme drought conditions and nearly 40 percent of the state is considered to be in “exceptional” (the most severe category) drought condition. Bowersock, incidentally, has the oldest water right on the Kansas River, and also the largest: 1 million acre feet of water. Just a single acre foot of water equals 325,851.429 gallons of water. But as Kermit the Frog famously said, “It ain’t easy being green.” Almost no one would quarrel with the need for green energy, and it understandably comes with a cost. Most people in Lawrence probably take pride in having that new “green” generating facility on the river after long months of construction. But is the cost in water supplies of releasing 900 million gallons of water during drought conditions reasonable? Is it reasonable that 1.5 million people who depend on water supplies are put at some risk during the second or third year of a drought to generate small amounts of electricity that — if truly needed — could be generated easily by coal-fired or nuclear plants? There is at least anecdotal evidence in the diaries and journals of early travelers and settlers that the Kansas River has run dry on two occasions. It could happen again, and when the storage is gone not only will there be no water to drink, there will be none to produce electricity for Bowersock. What’s taking place on the Kansas River almost in secret should be a widely discussed and extraordinarily public matter. The governor and the Legislature should be monitoring closely what is taking place; they should be explaining to the public the decisions and actions of the Corps and the Kansas Water Office. If the situation requires changes in the state’s water laws, then the state should be prepared to make them. It’s also incumbent upon Bowersock representatives to exercise considerable restraint and not put their profits ahead of the public good. Again, the state’s drought conditions impose new, and highly public, responsibilities on everyone involved.

Rebels in Syria struggling for unity BAB AL-SALAMEH, SYRIA — Walking from Turkey into Syria at the Bab al-Salameh gate takes you down a long, desolate road flanked by high walls and barbed wire. Just beyond the barbed wire sits the Kilis refugee camp, holding thousands of desperate families who fled the bombs and shelling in towns just beyond the border. I crossed with staff from the Syrian Support Group, a Syrian American organization working to help officers of the Free Syrian Army set up a more coherent structure. At a guesthouse on the Syrian side, I sat down with Col. Abdul-Jabbar Akidi, head of rebel forces in Aleppo and one of the most prominent rebel commanders. Akidi has been working with other commanders to try to unify hundreds of local brigades and militias, some of which have an Islamist bent. He has brought under his wing the Tawhid Brigade, one of the most active fighting forces in Aleppo, which has been labeled Islamist by many outsiders. (More about this later.) What Akidi had to say deserves attention from whomever was elected president Tuesday. It also should be taken to heart by Americans who care about the hideous war crimes being committed by Bashar al-Assad’s government — or about U.S. strategic interests in the Middle East.

Efforts at unity fail A few words of background: The Obama administration has focused its efforts on trying to prod Syrian civilian activists to produce unified leadership that Washington and its allies could recognize. It has had only minimal contact with the Free Syrian Army and refrained from giving it money or weapons. Efforts to unify civilian activists have failed, but as I write, hundreds of Syrian

short of everything, even ammunition. Qatar has promised salaries of $150 a month to the men, up to a total of $2.5 million, but Akidi only recently received the first installment.

What the FSA most needs are antiaircraft weapons to stop attacks on civilian areas. … U.S. officials won’t supply those weapons because they fear they may fall into jihadi hands.” rebels from inside and outside the country are gathering in Doha, Qatar. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she hopes a new national council of anti-Assad civilians, mainly from inside the country, will emerge by Thursday. But the assumption that civilian activists can turn the tide alone is dubious. Assad has shown he will destroy Syria before giving up power, and has demonstrated his resolve by repeatedly bombing civilian neighborhoods, mosques, bakeries, and schools. Assad’s thugs are deliberately trying to stir up a sectarian war that could spill over into neighboring countries, draw in foreign jihadis, and radicalize Syrian youths. Already, outside money is flowing more freely to Islamist militias than to the non-Islamist civilians and Syrian army defectors who fight under leaders such as Akidi. The failure to help the FSA almost guarantees the result that U.S. officials most fear. Akidi told me his men fight with weapons they seize from the regular Syrian army or buy on the black market. They are

Rebels need weapons What the FSA most needs are antiaircraft weapons to stop attacks on civilian areas. Then the rebels could halt the bombing and create de facto no-fly zones that protect civilians — without a need for U.S. intervention. U.S. officials won’t supply those weapons because they fear they may fall into jihadi hands. “We are not united with jihadi groups,” Akidi said, though he added, “We may fight together with them, because we are both fighting Assad.” Were the Americans to supply antiaircraft weapons in limited numbers, Akidi said, “We have special officers who would be responsible for those weapons. I would personally be responsible. I am sure we could control them.” He is also certain that Qatar would supply the weapons if U.S. officials gave it the green light. What about the Tawhid Brigade, whose leaders wear full beards, and which has just joined forces with Akidi’s command? By chance, its commander, Abdul Qader alSaleh, was across the border in Turkey, recuperating from a shoulder wound inflicted by a Syrian government sniper. I met Saleh in a cafe and asked him about remarks he’d made on al-Jazeera that he would fight alongside anyone who opposed the regime — even a Syrian group called the al-Nusra Front, which has al-Qaida sympathies. “They have other ideas than us,” he said intensely, “ideas that are the opposite of ours. We are not al-Nusra; we are not Muslim Brotherhood. We are people fighting for our

rights.” Like Akidi, he added, “Anyone who fights against Assad is welcome to the fight.” Saleh told me he had been an import-export trader before the war; a comrade accompanying him had been a teacher in a state school. Both took up arms only after Assad’s troops started slaughtering Aleppo’s civilians. “If there had been a 1 percent chance that Assad would make reforms, I never would have taken a gun,” the teacher said. Of course, I cannot vouch for Saleh’s bona fides (although he sounded sincere). What is clear is that without antiaircraft weapons, this war will continue for months, if not years. The rebels control much of the ground, but they cannot defend against planes.

Weighing the risks The risk of green-lighting delivery of limited numbers of antiaircraft weapons must be weighed against the nearcertainty that militants will ultimately get those weapons if the war continues. The risk of green-lighting delivery of limited numbers of antiaircraft weapons must be weighed against the nearcertainty militants will get them anyway — if the war continues. Already, old Russian-made shoulder-to-air weapons are trickling in from Libya. Abdel Razzak Tlas, a commander in a prominent rebel group called the Farouk Brigades, told me they received five SAM-7s but the weapons were defective. A senior FSA commander from Homs added there were supposed to be 100 of the weapons but “we don’t know where the rest went.” So which risk is greater: trusting Col. Akidi and pushing the war toward a conclusion, or waiting for chaos if the fighting drags on? — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial-board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Alumni support is vital to KU legacy By Kevin Corbett President, KU Alumni Association

The 100th anniversary of Homecoming at Kansas University and related events of last week bring to mind the influence and impact that generations of KU faithful have bestowed on the university since its opening in 1866. To the casual observer, a KU Homecoming might be defined only by a parade of colorful floats and a football game when, in fact, months of planning by the KU Alumni Association, students, and university departments culminate in a full week of activities welcoming back alumni and celebrating the history and traditions of our proud university. It is no coincidence that the KU Endowment Association hosted key leadership and donor events during this week while announcing that more than $708 million has been raised toward the $1.2 billion goal for the Far Above capital campaign, or that a large number of alum-

YOUR TURN ni gatherings graced campus and city restaurants, or that Rich and Judy Billings from Colorado have never once missed a KU Homecoming since graduating from KU in 1957. KU is extraordinary because our alumni honor the tradition of staying involved with the university long after taking the graduation walk down the Hill. While the university understandably appreciates alumni as donors to Corbett its goals and key objectives, alumni also provide critical expertise to many areas of a complex university, serve as tradition keepers and as a source of institutional memory as administrations change. They also serve the university’s interests throughout the state

and nation by serving as local volunteers through the KU Alumni Association—an organization that was founded nearly 130 years ago. Since 1883, with the grit and determination of the pioneers who settled the state, alumni have chosen for KU a higher place in the educational hierarchy. And, during difficult times for KU, alumni serve as a stabilizing force or as a conduit for change that ensures the continued prosperity of the university. As key stakeholders, alumni have the power of influence. And, on occasion, that influence is not always well received by campus leaders. I am reminded of several years ago, when the university administration decided to shut down the steam whistle that signaled the end of the class periods, owing to the fact it would save $3,000 annually on utility costs. Within days the whistle was turned back on because of the flood of alumni complaints and offers to cover the costs associated with this long-standing KU tradition.

Most recently, the KU administration has done excellent work in vetting alumni opinions on key issues, particularly with respect to KU’s new admissions standards, which take effect in 2016. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and others traveled the state, hosting focus groups of key alumni. Not all were in favor, but their voices were heard as KU leaders explained the importance of increasing the standards. When thinking of the best public universities in the country, think of KU. And be reminded, more often than just during Homecoming, that alumni of the university have made a great impact on that reputation. The KU students who are on campus today represent the alumni of tomorrow who will inherit the influence and responsibility to ensure the value of their own KU diploma increases for the good of those of us who have gone before them and for those who will follow. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!

Self: Seniors must step up By Gary Bedore

KANSAS FOOTBALL

For the future

Transfer QB Jake Heaps using year off to improve

gbedore@ljworld.com

One of the reasons Kansas University’s basketball team scored just 62 points while hitting 43.5 percent of its shots Monday night against Washburn is the Jayhawks’ refusal to attack the basket. Let coach Bill Self explain ... “Last night, the ball touched the paint off the bounce nine times in the game. Tyshawn would touch the paint nine times the first 10 minutes,” KU coach Bill Self said Tuesday on his weekly Hawk Talk radio show. He was referTo be ring to evera g g r e s s i v e real candid former KU with you, point guard T y s h a w n our seniors Taylor, who are playstarted four ing like years, gradufreshmen ated in May and now is a and sophobackup with mores.” the NBA’s B r o o k l y n — Kansas men’s Nets. “ Y o u ’ v e basketball coach got seniors Bill Self out there — Elijah (Johnson), Travis (Releford) and Jeff (Withey) — not aggressive,” Self said. “You dribble side to side? Big Self deal. You don’t put pressure on anybody. “We take that stuff from Tyshawn for granted. He shot more free throws probably than any guard in the country last year (137 of 199 for 68.8 percent in 39 games) because he’d get in there and they’d have to foul him or he’d get a guy an easy basket. How many easy baskets did our guards get our big guys last night? It didn’t happen. That’s correctable. I just think we were so passive last night.” Self, who gave his players a day off Tuesday with two full days of work ahead in advance of Friday’s regularseason opener against SE Missouri State (7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse), will have plenty of teaching points from film of the 62-50 win over the Ichabods. “You watch our team play and you see athletic ability but you see us not play to it. You see guys that can drive the ball but don’t see anybody ever touch the paint off the bounce,” Self said. “We are an awful screening team, just horrific. One thing we do fairly well — knock on wood — is firstshot defense, but we don’t rebound it. What good does it do to have great first-shot defense if you don’t rebound the ball?” KU outrebounded the Div. II Ichabods, 40-39. “Washburn beat us 9-to5 on 50/50 balls. That can’t happen. They stole four more possessions than we did just off that,” Self said. Self likes the Jayhawks’ chances of improvement in all areas of concern. “The biggest thing with us is to make sure our fans know I really like these guys. I think we’ll be good. We’re just so young. We’re ridiculously young,” Self said. “To be real candid with you, our seniors are playing like freshmen and sophomores. They should be the guys carrying the load and are not yet, but they are capable of doing that.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACK JAKE HEAPS (9) WARMS UP during practice on Oct. 23 at Memorial Stadium. Heaps, who sat out this season after transferring from BYU, said he’s frustrated that he can’t help KU this year and is using the extra time to improve as a player.

The 2012 Kansas University football season has been tough on KU quarterback Jake Heaps, but not because he has tossed interceptions, taken sacks or misread defenses. “Jake is very, very frustrated,” said KU coach Charlie Weis of the former BYU QB who has sat out the season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. “He’s frustrated that he can’t help.” Last December, when the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Heaps became the second former fivestar recruit to commit to the Jayhawks in the same day, no one imagined that KU’s quarterback play would reach the point where Heaps not only was frustrated, but also longed for. But that point is here. Fellow five-star transfer Dayne Crist struggled and was benched midway through the season. His replacement, red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings, showed signs of life but has been slow to adapt to the starting role. And at 1-8 overall and 0-6 in Big 12 play, KU currently sits in need of an upgrade at quarterback with its best option unable to suit up on Saturdays. Sounds like the punchline to a cruel joke, but Heaps said the situation had not been all bad. “As much as I am frustrated that I want to be out there, I know this is helping me improve as a player,” he said while talking with reporters for the first time since August. “Me sitting out has made me a much better player than I (would be) if I was to play right now.” During his Tuesday news conference, Weis was asked to describe the ways in which Heaps had improved this season. The junior who will have two years of eligibility remaining starting next season has been there during Weis’ Monday night meetings with his quarterbacks. He has taken to the film study and extra time in the playbook made available to him with the pressure of competing off of his plate. Perhaps most importantly, though, he’s been able to get a sneak peek into what the guy who recruited him to Notre Please see HEAPS, page 4B

When it comes to running the football, offensive preferences and philosophies can vary greatly from one coaching staff to another. Some teams have a primary running back that carries the load. Others go with a two-back rotation. For some, rushing is an afterthought. This season at Free State High, coach Bob Lisher has a bit of a three-headedmonster approach. Senior TJ Cobbs (101 carries, 664 yards, 14 touchdowns) gets the most touches for the Firebirds (9-1), but the coaching staff never hesitates to relieve him with junior Joe Dineen (59 carries, 364 yards, seven touchdowns) or senior John Young/Journal-World File Photos Demarko Bobo (42 carries, FREE STATE RUNNING BACKS, FROM LEFT, SENIOR TJ COBBS, junior Joe Dineen and senior 261 yards, four touchdowns). Demarko Bobo give the Firebirds a multi-dimensional rushing attack that, along with senior Please see FIREBIRDS, page 4B quarterback Kyle McFarland, has averaged over 200 yards on the ground each game.

NHL, union back at bargaining table NEW YORK (AP) — Negotiations between the NHL and the locked-out players’ association lasted deep into Tuesday night, and went well enough that the sides agreed to return to the bargaining table for more talks today. Both sides kept details close to the vest after the meeting that lasted more than seven hours. That could be taken as a sign that the second round of talks in four days went well.

The marathon session — on Day 52 of the lockout — was held at an undisclosed location in New York, at request of the NHL, in order for the sides to be able to talk without any potential distractions. “Collective bargaining negotiations between the National Hockey League and representatives of the National Hockey League’s Players’ Association recessed tonight at 10:15 p.m.,� NHL deputy commissioner Bill

Daly said in a statement. “With meetings scheduled to resume today, the league will not characterize the substance or detail of the discussions until their conclusion.� Not only were Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr there, as they were for a long session by themselves Saturday. They were joined by Commissioner Gary Bettman, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, a handful of team owners, and

13 players including Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who has been an active participant in the process. Time is becoming a bigger factor every day that passes without a deal. The lockout, which went into effect Sept. 16 after the previous collective bargaining agreement expired, has already forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games — including the New Year’s Day Winter Classic in Michigan.

Only the presidential candidates had to make their closing arguments over the weekend. For the four undefeated college football teams vying for this year’s national title, winning for now was good enough. It won’t be like this in two or three weeks, when more microscopic analysis may be required to separate this year’s winners and losers. The Bowl Championship Series standings Sunday gurgled out the same Fab Four, with Oregon jumping into the No. 3 spot ahead of Notre Dame. Alabama, despite its nearloss experience at Louisiana State, remained a solid BCS No. 1, followed by Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame. Three of the four national title contenders — Alabama, Oregon and Notre Dame — all survived and advanced. All were poked, prodded and tested in some form or fashion. Notre Dame nearly flunked its low bar exam. The Irish needed three overtime periods to outlast Pittsburgh, a team that lost to Youngstown State in September. This was the weekend, though, to get away with it. Notre Dame paid a BCS poll tax, but it was still way better than losing to Pitt. Oregon scored 62 against USC but gave up 51, sparking the old “they-don’t-play-defense� refrain. Even almighty Alabama was not immune to criticism after nearly blowing a 14-3 halftime lead in Baton Rouge. The Crimson Tide clearly did not know how to react to trailing in the second half for the first time in two seasons. “We didn’t execute anything until the last 50 seconds of the game,� center Barrett Jones said of his team’s last-minute win. “Sometimes you have to win them like this, especially in a place like this. This is a great environment. What a night, something I’ll never forget.� LSU needed one first down to put Alabama away, yet the Crimson Tide woke up Sunday to find it was still everybody’s sweetheart. Kansas State’s victory over Oklahoma State was the most emphatic of the four contenders, but the Wildcats have a more pressing issue: the possible injury to quarterback Collin Klein. It would be sad if Kansas State, facing a tough trip to Texas Christian, would lose Klein in the midst of a title run while he was also the leading Heisman Trophy candidate. It would be creepy if it helped Oregon, denied a legitimate BCS title shot in 2007 after a knee injury to quarterback Dennis Dixon. This year’s BCS title race is hurtling toward a thrilling conclusion as coaches scour history for inspiration. Alabama coach Nick Saban raised motivation to the next level when he compared his team’s resolve against LSU to the raid in Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. Saban last week showed his team a video about the SEAL Team 6 assault on bin Laden’s compound.

ROGER FEDERER RETURNS A SHOT TO JANKO TIPSAREVIC during their ATP World Tour finals match Tuesday in London. Federer won, 6-3, 6-1.

Federer wins his opening match at ATP finals LONDON — Roger Federer opened his quest for a seventh season-ending tour title, looking like the man to beat again. The 17-time Grand Slam champion won his record 40th match at the tournament, defeating Janko Tipsarevic, 6-3, 6-1, Tuesday in his opening Group B match. Federer lost only eight points on his serve under the roof of the O2 Arena while converting four of his nine break points in the event that features the top eight players in the world. A day after Andy Murray made his return to Britain for the first time since winning the U.S. Open, the crowd got into Tuesday’s match, complete with cowbells ringing and constant chanting for Federer. “I’m very, very honored, really, and very proud in some ways to be so well liked by so many fans around the world, just not in one particular place or one country,� said Federer, who will next face David Ferrer on Thursday. “It really seems to be everywhere I go I get a lot of fan support.� In the other Group B match, Ferrer beat Juan Martin del Potro, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.

Two IU players out nine games INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has agreed to reinstate two Indiana freshmen basketball players after they serve nine-game suspensions and repay a portion of the impermissible benefits they received before arriving on campus. Hanner Mosquera-Perea must pay back $1,590 to a charity of his choice. Peter Jurkin will be required to repay $250 to a charity of his choice. Both players will miss the first nine games of this season, beginning Friday night against Bryant. NCAA officials determined that Jurkin and Perea accepted approximately $6,000 and

$8,000, respectively, in impermissible benefits from an Indiana University booster while they were in high school. The benefits included plane tickets, meals, housing, a laptop, cellphone and clothing.

Snyder says he expects Klein to play ————

Kansas State coach silent on nature, extent of QB’s injury MANHATTAN (AP) — Bill Snyder always has been secretive when it comes to discussing injuries. Or just about anything else in his program. The longtime coach at Kansas State said Tuesday he expects Heisman Trophy frontrunner Collin Klein will be able to start the third-ranked Wildcats’ game at TCU this weekend, but he once again refused — politely, of course — to discuss anything specific to his star quarterback’s injury. The nature of it, the severity of it, the process by which Klein would be cleared to play — even the timetable involved in making that decision, which must happen soon. “Let’s cut to the chase,” Snyder said. “Would I expect him to play? I certainly hope that’s the case, and I would expect that to take place.” Klein was hurt in the third quarter of last Saturday’s 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State, likely on one of three straight runs that resulted in his 50th career rushing touchdown. He remained on the ground an extra moment after a sneak finished off the drive, and then jogged over to the sideline. Klein spoke for several minutes with trainers on the bench, and then his helmet was taken away and he spent the rest of the game watching from the sideline. All of those signs are indicative of a head injury, which has taken on increased scrutiny across the football landscape, from the professional

That’s why I don’t address injuries.”

Sure, the secrecy may give Kansas State a competitive advantage against the Horned Frogs, who will also have to spend time preparing for backup quarterback Daniel Sams. But the sagely Snyder truly believes that it’s in the best interest of Klein to keep him out of the spotlight, which is why the senior wasn’t available to the media on Tuesday. “Collin was perfectly

comfortable coming here and visiting, and I wanted to not put him through that,” Snyder said, “because I know the bombardment he would have had to endure.” Klein already had put together another big performance before leaving last Saturday’s game, throwing for 245 yards and running for 64. He’s averaging nearly 175 yards per game through the air, with 12 touchdowns and

only two interceptions, and close to 78 yards on the ground. He has 17 rushing touchdowns to go with 27 last year, making him the record-holder in the Football Bowl Subdivision for rushing TDs by a quarterback in consecutive seasons. Considering all that, it’s little surprise that he’s 20-4 as a starter, and that three more wins would push him past Ell Rober-

son and Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop for the most wins by a quarterback since Snyder stepped into Manhattan to resurrect the program in the late 1980s. If the kid nicknamed “Optimus Klein” is unable to start Saturday, the challenge of moving the Wildcats — No. 2 in the current BCS standings — one step closer to the national championship game will fall to Sams, an elusive freshman with more raw athleticism but far less experience. “He did a nice job for the most part in the ballgame. He was 5 of 6 throwing the ball, managed the game well enough,” Snyder said. “The more opportunities you have, the better you get.” TCU coach Gary Patterson said he wouldn’t assume that Klein will play, but he also said that both of the Kansas State quarterbacks present problems with their ability to scramble. “Sams, the redshirt freshman, as far as I could see, he ran the same plays as Collin does,” Patterson said. “They both have patience running the football.” Kansas State running back Angelo Pease also said that the offense won’t change regardless of who is under center, and that the Wildcats have confidence in either quarterback. “If Collin plays, he plays, if he don’t, he don’t,” Pease said. “The only difference with Collin is he’s more of a leader, only because he’s more experienced.”

Big 12, SEC to battle in Sugar Bowl at New Orleans NEW YORK (AP) — New Orleans will be the site of the new marquee bowl game between the Southeastern Conference and Big 12. The conferences made the announcement Tuesday. The game will still be called the Sugar Bowl and will be played in the Superdome. The agreement between the leagues and the bowl is for 12 years. The SEC has a long history with the Sugar Bowl.

Seventy-one times an SEC team has played in the game, far more than any other league. The very first Sugar Bowl in 1935 matched Tulane, then of the SEC, against Temple. “New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl are synonymous with postseason college football. For many years, fans have enjoyed the color and pageantry that New Orleans offers,” SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement.

“We look forward to competing against the Big 12 as a new championship tradition begins on New Year’s Day.” Several sites were vying to host the game, including Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio also submitted bids to host the game, but it came down to Arlington and New Orleans. “From the moment this game was announced,

there has been tremendous excitement associated with the collaboration between these two conferences. That excitement is reflected in the bids received to host this game. There were great cities, attractive destinations, and impressive venues to consider,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. “Now Big 12 fans can look forward to a New Year’s tradition and coming to New Orleans to support

their team. We are thrilled about our long-term association with our SEC colleagues and to be in partnership with the Allstate Sugar Bowl.” The new college football playoff begins after the 2014 season and the first Sugar Bowl in the new format will be played Jan. 1, 2015. It will match the champions from the SEC and Big 12, unless those teams are selected to the national semifinals.

In that case, two other highly rated teams from those conferences will be paired up. “We’re pleased to have been selected to host this great game,” Sugar Bowl Chief Executive Officer Paul Hoolahan said. “This gives us the chance to extend the Sugar Bowl’s long-standing relationship with the Southeastern Conference and to develop a new relationship with the Big 12 Conference.”

Spartans plagued Penn State strong in road games by close losses EAST LANSING, MICH. (AP) — Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had never experienced four straight games that were decided in the closing seconds. And if he never again has to go through the frustrations of the past month, he won’t miss it. A 28-24 loss to Nebraska was the latest dagger for the Spartans (5-5, 2-4 Big Ten), who have dropped four league games by a total of 10 points. Michigan State, heading into its off week, is 3-4 in games decided by four points or less this season. “With a little this or a little that at the end, a different call or a different decision by a coach, maybe by me ...” Dantonio said Tuesday. “If I go fourth-and-2 (vs. Nebraska), and we get that one or I go fourth-and-1 on Michigan, maybe we win. Maybe we don’t. I don’t know.” There are no easy answers when a team is picked No. 13 in the preseason and seen as one of the favorites to return to the Big Ten championship game, then has to revise its goals before Election Day.

Still, Dantonio wouldn’t say his team is struggling. He pointed to being a couple of plays away from title contention for the third straight year, instead of battling to be bowl-eligible a sixth straight time. “To me, struggling is cashing it in,” Dantonio said. “You lose a close game, to me, that’s not struggling. That’s the game. That’s people making plays. That’s inches away. We’re inches away from being 9-1, 8-2 — inches, seconds. We’ve rallied back every week and played and played hard. So I wouldn’t say that we’re struggling.” The Spartans watched the video of another agonizing fourth quarter in a team meeting Monday morning, then put the Nebraska game away and began the business of making the most of whatever opportunities remain in Legends Division games against Northwestern (72, 3-2) and Minnesota (5-4, 1-4). With six conference games decided by a total of 17 points, less than a field goal per week, Michigan State knows it can play with anyone.

STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — Somehow, some way, there’s no letdown for Penn State away from Happy Valley. Three Big Ten games away from home, three blowouts. But after scoring big wins at Illinois, Iowa and plunging Purdue on the road, the surprising Nittany Lions will encounter their biggest road test of the season Saturday with a trip to No. 18 Nebraska. “We’ve been playing well on the road I’d say because it just eliminates the distractions for us,” linebacker Michael Mauti said Tuesday. “Because all we need are the guys on the bus and the guys in the locker room. Distractions have been plentiful for Penn State (63, 4-1) over the past year. It’s a year to the week that a child sex abuse scandal was ignited by the arrest of ex-assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, plunging one of the country’s marquee football programs into turmoil. But the resulting NCAA sanctions from the scandal haven’t dampened the team’s enthusiasm. If anything, first-year coach Bill O’Brien has his team even more motivated to play every Satur-

PENN STATE COACH BILL O’BRIEN ARGUES a call during a victory over Purdue on Saturday in West Lafayette, Ind. day — even though both a conference title and bowl bid are out of reach. One of O’Brien’s favorite sayings this year is “Every game is a big game.” “Some games we always wish that we could have back. We wish we could have coached better, played better, but when you have 12 opportunities, every single game is a big game,” O’Brien said. “This game is no bigger than any other game; it’s just another big game, against a very, very good team.”

The Nittany Lions are still eligible to win the Leaders Division, though those hopes took a serious hit with the 35-23 loss two weeks ago to No. 5 Ohio State. But Penn State bounced back last week with a 34-9 win over Purdue. If anything, the offthe-field stress of the last year has helped Penn State to stay focused on what the players can control — what happens on the field. “It doesn’t matter what goes on around you,” Mauti said. “It’s all about

staying focused and ignoring the things that don’t have to do with football.” Mauti is the heart of a staunch defense that has had strong play all year from the front seven. Penn State, though, may not have standout defensive tackle Jordan Hill, who is listed as day-to-day with a left knee injury suffered against Purdue. Mauti said Hill was feeling well and that the tackle was “itching to play” in what would be the last collegiate road game for Mauti, Hill and the other Penn State seniors. O’Brien said a final determination would be made later in the week on whether Hill would be able to play at Nebraska. For all the attention on the front seven this year, the secondary has gradually improved its play this year after getting picked apart early in the season on third downs. The unit came up with perhaps its best performance of the year last week. Against the Boilermakers, cornerbacks Adrian Amos and Stephon Morris contained Purdue’s screen game with sure, open-field tackling, backed by safeties Malcolm Willis and Stephen Obeng-Agyapong.

Senior Jeff Withey had nine points, eight rebounds and seven blocks, Elijah Johnson 13 points, five assists and four turnovers and Travis Releford seven points, four rebounds, three assists, two turnovers and two steals. “I’m not concerned about it,” Self said, “but I do think it’s time for them to step up.

Dame out of high school is like as his head coach. “Coach Weis puts a lot on the quarterback,” Heaps said. “And that’s the fun part about it. ... This has all just been a great process for me, to be able to dissect myself and look back at my game and see what I can improve physically and mentally.” Asked Tuesday what he thought Heaps had gotten out of his first season in Lawrence, Weis smiled then rattled off a two-part answer. “He’s been able to learn the offense,” Weis said. “And he’s formed relationships with a lot of guys, especially guys that aren’t the front-line guys because he spends a lot of time with ’em.” The bulk of those bonds were built while preparing KU’s first-string defense for its upcoming opponent each week, as Heaps has handled scout team duties as a way to stay active and contribute to the team. “Let me tell you something,” Weis began. “He’s the show team player of the week every week. We never give it to him, but it isn’t even close. Every week, he’s the guy. That poor defense. You think that they get passes completed on ’em in the game? You should see this guy in practice. That’s good and bad, by the way.” Heaps did win the honor once this season — during the first week. After that, though, Weis informed his quarterback-in-waiting that he would not be eligible again. Heaps more than understood. “It was a tremendous feeling, him saying in front of the team, ‘You’re the scout team player of the week this week and I expect you to be that

had 17 points; Perry Ellis 10) ... that’s not a good sign when you return three starters off a national championship finalist team. Those guys have got to do a little better and they will.” O Still sidelined: KU freshman Zach Peters, a 6-9, 240-pound power forward from Plano, Texas, has not been able to practice this season because of a rotator cuff injury in his left shoulder. “Well, you know it’s getting to the point with Zach ... I’m not being negative at all, but he’s so far behind I don’t know even when he is able to come back, I can’t bank on him being ready in two weeks,” Self said. “We are going to go with the guys we’ve got. I certainly think we are plenty good enough. We

Coach Weis puts a lot on the quarterback. And that’s the fun part about it. ... This has all just been a great process for me, to be able to dissect myself and look back at my game and see what I can improve physically and mentally” — Kansas University quarterback Jake Heaps every week,’” Heaps recalled. “Although I don’t get to play on Saturday, I give everything I have in whatever it is.” While Heaps’ time off has allowed him to absorb Weis’ offense and gain the trust of his teammates, it also has provided an unexpected benefit for the program. “He’s a hidden gem in recruiting,” Weis said. “Because all these guys that are being recruited all want to talk to him.” That recruiting advantage might be more important than all of the other benefits combined. See, there’s still time to learn the offense. And Heaps and his teammates soon will have an entire offseason to bond. But getting better players to jump on board can’t happen soon enough, and both Weis and Heaps seem willing to do whatever it takes to expedite the process. “Any time a recruit wants to ask me a question about KU and what it’s like here, I’m gonna give ’em an honest opinion,” Heaps said. “(Recruiting is) hard, and, as a player, I can give ’em a different perspective. I understand. For me, it’s an awesome opportunity not only to get to know future players, but maybe to get that inside track on getting them here.” Recruiting is never far

just have to play smarter and execute better.” O Recruiting: Dakari Johnson, a 6-10, 265-pound center from Montverde (Fla.) Academy, has officially reclassified to the recruiting Class of 2013. Makini Campbell, Dakari’s mother, told jayhawkslant.com that, “Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State and Syracuse have expressed interest in Dakari. However, our focus right now will be on Dakari’s academics and his high school season. We will evaluate his college opportunities but will wait until the season is over before taking any official visits. Right now, I just want to keep him focused on school and his team.” He was the No. 5-rated player in the Class of 2014 by Rivals.com.

from Weis’ mind, and he said his recent conversations with recruits included their experiences with Heaps. “They ask him anything they want,” Weis said. “We never tell him anything to say, and I can’t tell you how many recruits I talked to (Monday) night (who) said, ‘Yeah, I talked to Jake last week. Yeah, I talked to Jake last week.’ Jake’s wife must be mad at me right now.” She’s not. “I have a very supportive wife,” said Heaps after laughing about Weis’ prediction. “Sometimes she’ll be like, ‘Hey, if it comes down to it, I’ll promise to make him some dinner,’ or something like that. So she gets it. And whatever we can do to help this program, we’re all in.” For now, aiding in recruiting and staying sharp on the field and in the weight room are the only areas in which Heaps can help the KU football program. But the time is coming when he’ll have a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job, a job which, if he wins it, will bear the responsibility of helping the Jayhawks bounce back from three of the roughest seasons in school history. “We’re at the point in the season where we can still end this on a positive note, and that’s where my focus is,” said Heaps before acknowledging that he was aware of the hope people had attached to his name. “With expectations, you can’t try to prove people right or wrong. You can’t worry about all that. It’s based off your work ethic and what you do on the field. Sometimes this game gets stressful and you start worrying about other things, but, at the end of the day, this is football, and this is a game that we all love to play. If you’re not having fun, then what’s the point of being out there?”

“It’s nice to change it up some,” Lisher said, “so we don’t beat our guys to death.” Like every other week, the coach said FSHS will enter this Friday’s second-round playoff game against Olathe East (6-4) — 7 p.m. kickoff at FSHS — with no set plan on who will get a certain number of touches or which back will play on a certain series. Lisher said the coaches like the flexibility the three backs provide, and the personnel and playcalling are decided by the flow of the game. “They all can do it all,” he added. Each back could be described as a downhill runner, but Lisher said they all have different ways of doing their jobs. Dineen (6.2 yards a carry) might be the fastest. Bobo (6.2) is a physical rusher who can pick up yards between the tackles. And Cobbs (6.6) is an all-around threat who can break a big play inside or outside. The thing Lisher loves is that all three can produce on any play that is called. Dineen said Cobbs is the best back of the trio, and none of them mind sharing the rushing burden. “We don’t really get tired, because we have three (backs) and we just rotate all the time,” Dineen said. “Whenever we get tired we can send in someone who’s just as good.” Plus, the opposing defense doesn’t get the same look over and over again. Cobbs rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the Firebirds’ first-round win over Olathe North. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound senior said when he’s at his best, he is lowering his shoulder and running over defenders. This is his approach: “Go north and south, get downhill and don’t dance over anyone. Let

FREE STATE QUARTERBACK KYLE MCFARLAND RUSHES against Lawrence High on Oct. 26 at LHS. McFarland led the two teams in rushing with 57 yards in a 28-14 FSHS victory.

them know that you were there.” Of course, there is some room for improvisation, too. Junior offensive lineman Fred Wyatt said the blockers up front always try to get off the line of scrimmage and open rushing lanes, but Free State’s running backs can be unpredictable at times if they’re cutting back across the field looking for more yards. That can make it more difficult for the O-line — Wyatt, Riley Buller, Reid Buckingham, Tyler Sampson and Cody Stanclift — to block. “We don’t really like it when they cut back,” Wyatt said with a grin, “but as long as they’re gaining positive yards I guess it doesn’t really matter.” The ball carrier who snakes his way down the field most might be senior quarterback Kyle McFarland (118 rushes, 643 yards, six touchdowns). Dineen said the dualthreat QB can pick up big

first downs on a designed run or an ad-lib. “He has really good patience as a runner,” Dineen said. “He sees the hole well and hits it when it opens up.” The added threat of McFarland to Free State’s rushing attack (200.5 yards a game), Lisher said, can be difficult to defend. “A lot of teams try to take our running game away. Some of them have. We’re fortunate we can throw the ball as well,” the coach said. “If they’re packing it in tight I still want to run the football, but I’m not gonna beat my head against the wall, either.” McFarland has thrown for 1,487 yards and 18 touchdowns this season. Between the quarterback’s contribution to the ground game and three reliable running backs, who needs an alpha back anyway? “It doesn’t matter,” Lisher said, “as long as we move the football.”

Bulls 99, Magic 93 CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored 15 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the Chicago Bulls to a win over Orlando on Tuesday night, the Magic’s first loss of the season. Deng and Nate Robinson keyed a 15-2 secondhalf burst when Chicago turned a five-point deficit into an eight-point lead. Robinson hit two straight jumpers to put Chicago ahead 74-70 early in the fourth, the Bulls’ first lead since midway through the third period. Joakim Noah had 20 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Chicago, while Robinson added 11 points and six assists off the bench. Robinson’s layup with 2:35 to play put Chicago up 91-81, its biggest lead of the game. Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 28 points, 19 in the second half. E’Twaun Moore added a careerhigh 17 points. Glen Davis, who entered the game fourth in the NBA with 25.5 points per game, scored 16 points but shot just 7 of 22 from the floor and fouled out. Nicola Vucevic had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who had won three of their last four in Chicago entering the game. Orlando had started the season 2-0, surprising many around the league after trading star center Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer. The Magic led 70-65 when the Bulls started their decisive run late in the third quarter. Deng tied the game with a jumper with 10:58 to play. Later, Robinson capped the run with a layup in transition. Orlando trimmed the lead to four on Affalo’s 3 late in the final minute, but Chicago held on down the stretch. Taj Gibson’s dunk and free throw with 39 seconds remaining iced it for the Bulls. The Magic pushed the lead to seven in the second quarter behind seven points from Moore before Richard Hamilton closed the lead to 48-45 with a pull-up jumper in transition to close the first half. Orlando went 4 for 6 from three-point range in the opening half. Chicago closed the gap to two by the end of the third quarter, getting seven points from Deng in the period. Afflalo scored nine points to help Orlando maintain the lead, including three free throws after being foul by Kirk Hinrich behind the arc. Deng scored eight quick points to give the Bulls an early lead to start the game, but Orlando closed the first quarter with an

Thunder 108, Raptors 88 OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook shrugged off a sore shoulder to score 19 points and Oklahoma City cruised past Toronto. Wearing a black padded sleeve to protect his bruised left shoulder, Westbrook held Toronto’s leading scorer, Kyle Lowry, to two points on 1-of4 shooting. Lowry exited with 1:29 left in the second quarter with a right ankle sprain and did not return. Serge Ibaka added 17 points and a game-high nine rebounds for Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant and reserve Kevin Martin each scored 15. The Thunder led by as many as 29 points and never trailed after Durant converted a pair of free throws with 7:44 remaining in the first quarter. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks was able to rest his starters in the fourth as the Thunder improved to 2-2 with their highest-scoring game of the season. Jonas Valanciunas led the Raptors with 18 points.

Nuggets 109, Pistons 97 DENVER — Andre Iguodala scored six of his 17 points over the final three minutes to help the Denver Nuggets hold off the Detroit Pistons and snap a three-game skid.

The Nuggets broke out their new canary yellow uniforms for their home opener and played pretty snazzy, especially late in the third quarter when they began opening up a 17-point lead. The Pistons rallied late, before Iguodala closed the door with two baskets and a pair of free throws. Iguodala also finished with 10 rebounds.

Ball State stops No. 23 Toledo TOLEDO, OHIO (AP) — Toledo waited 11 years to get back into the national rankings. In less than three days, the Rockets likely got knocked out. Jahwan Edwards scored untouched on a 15-yard run around left end with 1:43 left to propel Ball State to a 34-27 victory over No. 23 Toledo on Tuesday night, ending the Rockets’ eight-game winning streak. Edwards’ run capped an 86-yard drive after Ball State’s beleaguered defense had stopped the Rockets (8-2, 5-1 MidAmerican Conference) a yard short on David Fluellen’s run on fourth-and-2 at the Cardinals 15. Keith Wenning completed 29 of 42 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns, but was intercepted three times for Ball State (7-3, 4-2). Fluellen ran for at least 200 yards for the third game this season, carrying 34 times for 200 yards and a touchdown. Toledo jumped into The Associated Press Top 25 this week for the first time since 2001. Edwards finished with 105 yards on 16 carries. The victory helps Ball State, which had already qualified for a bowl, get an even better postseason trip. The loss knocks Toledo out of a possible firstplace tie with Northern Illinois in the MAC’s West Division. Ball State held the Rockets for a three-and-out to open the second half and then promptly marched downfield with Wenning completing 6 of 9 passes, capped by a 3-yard scoring pass to Jamill Smith for their second TD connection of the game. The Cardinals clearly made some changes on defense at halftime. Toledo mustered just six yards on their first eight plays of the second half, punting the ball away twice without a first down. But then Owens carried the Rockets out of their problems. He scrambled for 12 yards on third-andnine at his own 21 and then led them to a first down at the Ball State 7. The drive stalled there, however, and Jeremiah Detmer kicked a 22-yard field goal to cut the lead to 24-20. On the next offensive play, Wenning was picked off for the third time — throwing behind a receiver with linebacker Dan Molls grabbing the interception. A sack and two runs left the Rockets facing a fourth-and-1 at the Cardinals 16 on the first play of the fourth quarter. With the defense crowd-

ing the line, Fluellen took a handoff and burst off the left side untouched for Toledo’s first lead of the game. Ball State came right back with a time-consuming drive for Steven Schott’s second field goal to knot things — again — at 27 with 9:41 left. All the offense wasn’t too surprising. After all, Ball State came in averaging 33.6 points and 473 yards a game, and the Rockets 34.3 points and 455 yards. Toledo then drove to a fourth-and-2 at the Cardinals 15 with 6:02 left. Firstyear coach Matt Campbell passed up an almost certain 32-yard field goal with a good kicker. Instead, he went for it. Fluellen carried up the middle and was stacked up, running into the back of one of his own blockers before being snowed under by defenders. He came up a foot short. With Edwards picking up good yardage on the ground and Wenning hitting timely passes, the Cardinals drove from their own 14. They converted a thirdand-19 on Wenning’s 19-yard completion to Connor Ryan and later Wenning hooked up with Zane Fakes on a 4-yard gain on third-and-3 at the Toledo 19. Two plays later, Edwards took a handoff and outraced one tackler at the edge to score the pivotal TD.

Sweet or savory, popcorn dresses up nicely By Susan M. Selasky Detroit Free Press

Popcorn is a great source of whole grain, because it is an entire kernel that contains the brain, germ and endosperm. It’s a great whole grain snack. When not doused with butter or cooked in oil, air popped popcorn has about 31 calories per cup, the industry’s Popcorn Board says. If you pop it in oil, it’s 55 calories per cup. And if you really can’t go without butter, lightly buttered popcorn has about 133 calories per cup. Being able to control the popcorn seasoning is a huge benefit to making your own popcorn safely. Here are a few suggestions for seasoning 3 cups of plain popped popcorn:

Sprinkle with desired amount of nutritional yeast (found at health food stores) for a nutty and cheesy flavor.

Southwest: Mix together 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar.

Cheesy Garlic (from Everyday Food): Mix 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon each of coarse salt, dried thyme and garlic powder.

Savory Rosemary: Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons finely crushed fresh or dried rosemary. Place 4 quarts popcorn in a large bowl and pour butter over. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and 1 teaspoon garlic salt or sea salt. Toss.

White-Chocolate Caramel Corn With Cashews 12 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels) 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped cashews 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1 1/4 cups packed lightbrown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 5 ounces white chocolate, chopped Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in corn syrup, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until sugar dissolves, stirring once or twice. Raise heat to high, and bring to a boil (do not stir). Boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 248 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda. Pour caramel over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat thoroughly. Transfer to two rimmed baking sheets, spreading in a single layer. Bake 45 minutes, stirring twice. Test doneness by removing a few pieces of popcorn from oven; if they crisp within 1 minute, popcorn is ready. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and completely smooth. Fill a small resealable plastic bag with chocolate, and snip a tiny hole in 1 corner. Drizzle chocolate over caramel corn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes, before breaking up. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Instant coffee adds java jolt to many dishes By J.M. Hirsch

In a blender, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, coffee granules, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Puree until smooth, then transfer to a large zip-close plastic bag. Add the steak tips to the bag, close the bag, then turn to coat the meat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight. When ready, heat the broiler with an oven rack 6 inches from the heat. Remove the steaks tips from the bag. Add the onions to the bag, close, then turn to coat. Transfer the onions and the marinade to a large roasting pan.

Associated Press

Most of us have to be suffering from a pretty mind-blowing caffeine withdrawal migraine before we’ll reach for instant coffee. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy some, because while instant coffee makes a generally lousy cup of java, it can do astounding things for your cooking. While instant coffee may not do wonders in your morning mug, it can effortlessly add tons of depth and flavor at the dinner table. That’s because coffee — even the instant variety — packs one of the most complex flavor profiles of any food, an amazing balance of acidity, bitterness, sweetness and earthy notes. So what should you do with it? Start by not making a cup of coffee and using it as a dry ingredient.

Add a tablespoon or two of instant coffee to your favorite chili. You will get a depth of flavor

INSTANT COFFEE WAKES UP THE FLAVOR of Bourbon Java Steak Tips. you didn’t think possible.

Can you say mocha cookies? Add some instant coffee to a chocolate-chocolate chip cookie recipe. Ditto for chocolate cake.

Make the best hot cocoa. In a saucepan, combine equal parts cocoa powder and instant coffee with milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and whisk in sugar (to taste). Or be totally decadent and use chocolate chips instead of sugar.

Set the onions under the broiler and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, set the steak tips over the onions, then return to the broiler. Broil for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn the tips and broil for another 5 to 6 minutes. Let the meat rest for several minutes, then serve with onions spooned over them.

Effortless plain Jane turkey brims with flavor Uncorked By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Children don’t care if you’ve slaved hours over the Thanksgiving turkey. And they certainly don’t appreciate the nuanced layers of flavor you once extracted from the bird with the help of expert brining and seasoning and rotating and roasting and trussing and fussing. You know, back before you had kids. Back when you had time to worry about such things. Balancing a gaggle of little ones with the demands of getting Thanksgiving dinner on the table doesn’t mean sacrificing good taste. It just means you need simple recipes that effortlessly deliver stunning results. That’s why we created this plain Jane turkey and gravy, which tastes anything but.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Heat the oven to 350 F. Spread the carrots, celery and onions in an even layer over the bottom of a large roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, salt and black pepper. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Rub the butter mixture all over the inside and outside of the turkey, making sure to get under the skin, too. To do this, gently lift the skin Matthew Mead/AP Photo over each breast with one A PLAIN JANE TURKEY delivers maximum flavor hand while working the butwith minimal fuss. ter under it with the other.

Place the pan on the stovetop over medium heat (you may need to use more than one burner). Bring the juices to a simmer. Add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits in the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and flour. Pour into the pan, whisking continuously. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Strain the gravy, if desired.

A weekly guide to wine

Young wine has a mature character By S. Irene Virbila Los Angeles Times

This is the latest from the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly in Beaujolais, built in the 15th century. But that wouldn’t mean anything if the wine weren’t so well-made and delicious. Château Thivin, still run by the Geoffray family, who purchased the estate at the end of the 19th century, has vineyards planted with mostly 50-year-old Gamay vines, one reason these wines have such character. With its bright fruit, luscious texture and all-around geniality, Thivin’s Côte de Brouilly goes down very easy. And it’s such a versatile wine, ready to pair up with a simple roast chicken, braised lamb shanks or grilled sausages.

Delicious no-bake pie inspired by caramel apples Fork

ing,” says Kelsey Banfield, author of “The Naptime Chef” (Running Press, 2011). “A successful and enticing Thanksgiving meal does not have to include 20 dishes. I’ve never heard anyone say there wasn’t enough on the table.” Workman suggests putting bells and whistles — streusel for the sweet

should thicken immediately. Set aside.

The Rest of the Sandwich 4 hoagie rolls Approximately 1 pound pork loin, sliced thinly Spicy mustard Cheese (optional) Next, toast your buns. I buttered mine and browned them in my cast iron skillet. Then it’s time to warm the meat. I put the thin slices in the well-seasoned cast iron skillet to brown a bit and heat through. If you need to add a little oil, go ahead, but if you have a good cast iron it’s not necessary. Slather the bottom bun with spicy mustard, layer on the pork, and top with shredded cheese and onion jam. Amazing. This is not a sandwich. This is a masterpiece.

THIS THANKSGIVING MEAL WON’T EAT UP YOUR TIME: clockwise from top, are plain Jane turkey and gravy, buttery mashed potatoes, rolls, cheesy stuffing, and sweet and sour glazed carrots and green beans. The dishes are all simple and quick to prepare, leaving the cook time to spend on what really matters — family.

SIMPLY GIVING

THANKS Tips for preparing a delicious holiday meal while preserving family harmony

By Michele Kayal Associated Press

On Thanksgiving Day, how do you get the turkey into the oven and the kids out of your hair? It’s not as hard as you think, say family dinner experts. A number of strategies — crafts tables, light snacks, and yes, even inviting the kids into the kitchen — will ensure that all is well when you finally sit down to give thanks. Though it seems counterintuitive to bring the kids into the kitchen while you’re negotiating stuffing, squash and your mother-in-law’s running commentary, giving eager children a job lets them feel like they’re part of the action. Hand little ones a potato masher or an eggbeater, older ones an immersion blender, basting brush or rolling pin.

“If you can give them a dish to be in charge of, maybe you have two kids, and you say, ‘Guys, can I leave the salad to you?’� says Katie Workman, blogger and author of “The Mom 100 Cookbook� (Workman Publishing, 2012). “There’s always enormous value in giving kids that sense of ownership.� If you just can’t bear to have them in the kitchen — or when they’ve exhausted all their skills — send them to something else they might find attractive. Before everyone arrives, set up a craft table full of crayons, markers (you might want to stay away from paints), jewelry-making kits or anything that’s engrossing but not messy. Game tables stocked with board games appropriate for the age of the attending kids can keep a group quiet. You also can send them outside to collect sticks and leaves for a centerpiece, or

have them create crafts for the celebration. “It’s a great opportunity to get kids decorating or setting the table,� says Aviva Goldfarb, founder of the family dinner planning service The Six O’Clock Scramble. “They can make fall-oriented place cards, or even a giant tablecloth. Get some big fabric and have kids decorate it with fabric markers. Or send them outside for acorns and leaves and pine cones to scatter around the table.� Keeping hunger at bay also will be a critical part of avoiding meltdowns. No one wants the kids (or the adults!) running into the kitchen a half hour before dinner whining about hunger pangs. To keep everyone Please see FAMILY, page 9B

Special ingredient makes a jammin’ sandwich

L

ast week I shared a recipe for a roast pork loin. I was proud of the recipe. It was delicious and perfect for a fall dinner. Which makes me almost loath to admit that even better than the original pork was the sandwich I made with the leftovers. I love a good sandwich. I think good sandwichmaking is an art form — a very under-appreciated art form. My husband, Mr. Meat and Potatoes, eats a lot of sandwiches and tends to lump my artful ones into the same category as his pressed turkey on white bread with Miracle Whip work

Boyfriend living 3 separate lives Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Third: Your boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his exwife and children, and another with his “secret” child and the biological mother. We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commitment to her in addition to his child. He can support the child emotionally and financially without sleeping on her sofa. It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his

We can learn from animal friendships The advent of YouTube and other Internet video sites has brought us a glut of cute animal clips. It’s no longer enough to gush over adorable kittens. You have to see sweet little critters in unlikely tandems, like a cheetah cub that has become best friends with a Labrador retriever. ‘‘Nature” (7 p.m., PBS) presents “Animal Odd Couples.” This being public television, it’s not enough to show such cute combinations. We have to ask how and why young lions get along with coyotes. Or why a photographer’s dog befriended an orphaned fawn in the wild. What does this say about animal cognition? Can critters feel something close to empathy with creatures they might just as well be chasing, hunting or devouring? Among those cited here are Temple Grandin, famed animal behavior expert (and subject of a superb HBO film biography, starring Claire Danes). She thinks that research is beginning to show us a lot more about the emotional life of animals. Or, as she puts it, “I think scientists are going to prove that little old ladies in tennis shoes who say that little Fifi really can think are right.”

Tonight’s other highlights:

After his arrest on murder charges, Oliver wants Laurel to act as his attorney on “Arrow” (7 p.m., CW).

Jay’s first wife (Shelley Long) returns on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

Actress Debi Mazar and her husband, Gabriele Corcos, return to the third season of their culinary series “Extra Virgin” (8:30 p.m., Cooking).

Krissy’s behavior falls under scrutiny on “The Houstons: On Our Own” (8:30 p.m., Lifetime).

Russell’s son becomes a murder suspect on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Casey’s confrontation with Voight has consequences on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

“Moonshiners” (9 p.m., Discovery) returns for a second season.

Deacon consoles Juliette and begins to irk Rayna on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

A new patient has clues to Arden’s past on “American Horror Story: Asylum” (9 p.m., FX).

The new series “LOLwork” (10 p.m., Bravo) steps inside the office of an Internet comedy publisher that attracts millions of views with purposefully inept captions attached to — what else? Cute pictures of pets and animals.

other children about his arrangement. However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he lives with, and you are his sideline. What you do about that is up to you. Dear Annie: I am 17 years old, and I have a younger sister who is 13. Her attitude is awful. I have to drive her to school every day, and we always get into fights. She constantly criticizes my driving and puts me down. She also calls me a lot of names and says hurtful things. We even got into a physical fight. I’ve told my parents that she is rude and I am not inclined to do anything for her. But my parents won’t get involved. They never punish her, and she gets away with everything. In fact, they just bought her a new computer. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t wait

Plug this unusually high-voltage vitality into where it will make a difference. Tonight: Let your hair down. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be considering spending more time at home. You could be pushed and pulled between two seemingly opposite interests. Tonight: Play it low-key. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might want to keep a conversation moving. You could learn a lot just by saying whatever is necessary to keep the other party chatting. Tonight: Visit with an old pal. Cancer (June 21-July 22) A cohort or friend has strong opinions about what you should and should not do. You could be unusually irritated by this person’s interference. Tonight: Your treat.

until I leave for college and won’t have to deal with her. Is that wrong? What should I do? — Frustrated Sister Dear Frustrated: We understand that your little sister is driving you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings. We suggest you be the adult. Don’t let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your attention. When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favorite teacher or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

this point in time. You are dealing with some suppressed feelings that could affect your perspective. Tonight: Nap, then decide. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be overthinking a situation more than usual. Question yourself as to what is irking or driving you. Tonight: Join friends for a midweek break. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure builds, and you might feel as if you must accomplish or complete a task to someone else’s expectations. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take another look at a situation, as your perspective might have been a little harsh the first time around. You have the resilience necessary to take a verbal blow or two and not let it affect a situation. Tonight: Follow the music. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner or close friend initiates a conversation. It could be about a project you are working on together. Tonight: Chat and visit over dinner. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seek you out, and for the most part, you are pleased to hear their news. A meeting could be far more important than you realize — do not hesitate to make the first move. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Dive right in to whatever you have on the schedule for today, as you’ll want to get through it as quickly as possible. You have a lot of ground to cover. Tonight: Meet up with a friend. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend lives with a woman who gave birth to his child. He says it is not a romantic arrangement. She wanted to get pregnant, and he provided the genetic material. He sleeps on the sofa. My issue is, when he wants to spend time with this kid, the mother must always be present. She also isn’t aware that he is dating me, and we’ve been together for two years. He is divorced, and his ex-wife and other children don’t know about this child. He expects me to keep his secret, stay away from the birth mother and be fine with all of this — even when overnight trips are planned. I will never be fine with this. He says I should trust him. But, Annie, I just can’t wrap my head around why I should blindly accept this. Am I wrong? — Third Wheel
