U.S. drops plans for meeting after insult

By JOSH LEDERMAN and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — President Barack Obama called off a planned meeting today with new Philippine President Rodrigo Obama Duterte, seeking distance from a U.S. ally’s leader during a diplomatic tour that’s put Obama in close quarters with a Duterte cast of contentious world figures.

It’s unusual for one president to tell another what to say or not say, and much rarer to call the other a “son of a bitch.” Duterte managed to do both just before flying to Laos for a regional summit, warning Obama not to challenge him over extrajudicial killings in the Philippines.

“Clearly, he’s a colorful guy,” Obama said. “What I’ve instructed my team to do is talk to their Philippine counterparts to find out is this in fact a time where we can have some constructive, productive conversations.”

Early today, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said the meeting

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The 37 wastewater disposal wells to be shut down in north-central Oklahoma, where a 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck this weekend, are just a fraction of the state’s total number.

There are about 4,200 total wells across the state and about 700 in a 15,000-square-

mile “Area of Interest” created by the commission to address earthquakes in the area that includes the epicenter of Saturday’s temblor near Pawnee.

The earthquake tied a November 2011 quake as the strongest in recorded state history and was felt as far away as Nebraska, but no major damage was reported.

Davis, 53, was sworn in Aug. 29 as magistrate judge for Kansas’ 31st Judicial District to hear cases primarily in Allen and Wilson counties. He succeeds Saxton, who retired this summer after nearly 30 years.

Davis is quick to correct anybody who says he’s “replacing” Saxton on the bench.

“You can never replace a Judge Saxton,” Davis said.

“You can follow him. Getting appointed to the bench is special in itself, but it’s even more special to follow him.”

Key issues emerge in school funding debate

By JOHN HANNA AP Political Writer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new funding plan from a group of Kansas school administrators is reviving longstanding regional tensions and spotlighting questions about whether the state spends enough on public education.

In part, it’s a throwback, seeking to distribute the nearly $4.1 billion a year in state aid to its 286 local school districts per student through a complex formula.

Legislators junked such a formula last year in favor of predictable “block grants” that allow the state to better control its spending.

But other provisions represent a radical departure from past policy: stripping local districts of their power to tax while using a statewide property tax increase as a way to prevent poorer schools from falling too far behind wealthier ones.

The key issues involving the new school funding plan are: DRIVING THE WORK

About 30 school superintendents, business officers and special education directors have been working on the plan for more than a year. Republicans who pushed the 2015 school funding changes through the Legislature always saw them as a two-year fix, and lawmakers expect to write a new formula next year.

The state has been in and out of school funding lawsuits for decades. The last one, filed by four districts in 2010, is before the Kansas Su-

preme Court.

The justices will hear arguments Sept. 21 on whether legislators are spending enough money on schools to fulfill a duty under the state constitution to provide a suitable education for every child.

“The time for muchneeded school finance reform is now,” GOP Gov. Sam Brownback said during a recent news conference in which he solicited opinions and ideas on education funding.

BREAK FROM THE PAST

The most notable feature of the administrators’ plan is how it would shift decisions about taxes from local school boards to state legislators.

Local control of schools remains a cherished idea, even as the state has asserted greater influence over funding to help poor districts.

State law allows districts to impose local property taxes to supplement their state aid.

In the name of fairness, it caps the amount at an average of $2,340 per student and provides extra money to poor districts. Critics contend the system still favors wealthy districts that can raise local taxes far more easily than poor ones.

“That’s an area that we want to get away from because there are questions about equity,” said G.A. Buie, executive director of the United School Administrators of Kansas.

The administrators’ plan would impose a single statewide property tax, which, along with state aid, would be meant to cover districts’

tricts would have to rely solely on the Legislature to provide enough funds for schools.

“It is mind-boggling that this is coming from school officials,” she said. “I was just flabbergasted.”

MAJOR OBJECTIONS

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, called the administrators’ plan a “good starting point” for a debate.

But any proposal to reduce or eliminate local districts’ power to tax would face strong opposition from Johnson County, home to affluent Kansas City suburbs and whose strong schools have attracted families for decades and fueled a post-World War II population boom that still continues, 70 years later.

Rep. Melissa Rooker, a Fairway Republican, said it’s appropriate to cap local taxes in the name of fairness, yet eliminating them is an “absolute non-starter” because local voters should have the option of raising additional funds for extra programs.

Under the administrators’ plan, local dis-

DEBATE OVER SPENDING

Many educators argue the state is shorting its public schools on their total aid. While Brownback and some GOP legislators strongly dispute the idea, the Republican-controlled State Board of Education has proposed phasing in an $893 million increase in aid over two years.

The administrators who drafted the plan did not set a target for overall spending.

“That’s a separate conversation,” said Jim Freeman, the retired Wichita public schools chief financial officer, who presented the plan during a recent forum for educators.

Overtime troubling TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas psychiatric hospital that’s had a dramatic staff shortage in recent years spent more on overtime pay last year than any other state agency or facility.

Larned State Hospital paid its roughly 600 employees $3.8 million in overtime during the 2016 fiscal year that ended in June, accounting for nearly a quarter of the state’s total overtime costs for the year. The Kansas Department of Transportation, with a staff three times larger than Larned, was the 2nd highest with $2.1 million in overtime costs.

Overall, the state spent more than $16.3 million in overtime during the fiscal year,

a figure that doesn’t include the state’s universities, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The state’s other psychiatric hospital in Osawatomie, with about 300 staff members, spent about $775,000 in overtime pay.

Both hospitals have struggled to fill vacancies, which forces staff members to work long hours to fill the gaps.

Staffing concerns at Osawatomie contributed to that hospital’s loss of Medicare certification in November, which has cost the state about $1 million a month.

State officials are trying to make sure Larned, which had 314 vacant positions at the end of June, doesn’t follow suit.

Thomas Campbell God called Tom to heaven on Friday, Sept. 2, 2016, at the age of 73. He passed away from dementia at Golden Heights Living Center in Garnett.

Tom was born Feb. 14, 1943, to Orie and Mirtie (Tracy) Campbell in Larned. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1960 to 1964 aboard the USS Outagamie County (LSTThomas 1073).

On June 12, 1965, Tom married Campbell Loretta Delaplain in Wichita. He was employed by Koch Industries in Wichita for 26 years until he retired in 2005. They moved to Moran after he retired.

Tom enjoyed writing poetry, hunting and fishing, gardening, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Loretta; two brothers, Alvin Campbell and wife Sue, Lowell, Ark., and Victor Campbell and wife Marilyn, Rogers, Ark.; two sisters, Carolyn Swift, Wichita, and Louise McGarrah and husband Larry, Rogers, Ark., and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and four siblings, Donald Speer, Pearl Brandstetter, May Kresge and Gene Campbell.

response, out of Rolla, Mo., population 19,000.

“It completely changed my outlook for small town life,” he said. “As great as law is, it’s even better in a small town. There’s just no comparison to practicing in an urban setting.”

Much of that is derived from working with the same group of colleagues on a regular basis.

“If you’re an attorney in Kansas City, you may deal with another attorney once and never see them again,” Davis noted. “You don’t necessarily have to be friends, but when attorneys work well together, it benefits the client.”

DAVIS clerked for a private firm in Rolla, where his boss had set his sights on running for office as a circuit judge. In Missouri such positions are determined by election.

“He was unsuccessful, but through that process I came to know I wanted to stay in a

small town,” Davis said.

He eventually made it to Chanute, where he became one of the first members of the Southeast Kansas Public Defenders Office when it was formed in the early 1990s.

Davis, who also operated a private practice in Parsons, opened an office in Iola in 2001 before health issues a few years later prompted him to return to the Public Defenders Office. He remained there for the next nine years, leading to Saxton’s retirement announcement earlier this year.

A nominating committee tapped Davis in July over eight other candidates as Saxton’s successor.

“As an attorney, I always thought it’d be nice to be a judge, because it’s the apex,” he said. “But I didn’t know if it was a realistic opportunity because those positions in rural areas don’t come up very often.

“There are a couple

of reasons I wanted to be a judge,” Davis continued. “One set of reasons is selfish. The other set revolves around wanting to be a judge to further the ends of justice, and I’ll strive to do that in all areas.”

The appointment comes with a range of bittersweet emotions tinged with pride, he admitted.

“I hate to see judges like Judge Saxton leave because it’s been such an honor to work with him.”

The pride comes from recognizing the other candidates vying for the judgeship.

“As excited as I am, I also recognize there were eight other great candidates, and any of them would have been great picks,” he said.

“I’ll say this to them, and all of the people in Allen and Wilson County. I’m going to do the best I can to serve them. I will not take this position for granted. I will not take this honor for granted.”

Not all of the state’s wells operate simultaneously, Oklahoma Corporation Commission spokesman Matt Skinner said.

“We estimate that at any one time, there are about 3,200 active disposal wells,” Skinner said.

An increase in magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes in Oklahoma has been linked to underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production, and since 2013, the commission has asked wastewater-well owners to reduce disposal volumes in parts of the state where the temblors have been most frequent.

The “area of interest” includes another 211 adjacent square miles that’s under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency, and Skinner said the commission doesn’t know how many wells may be involved there.

most certainly will preside over cases involving former clients.

“I’ll tell everybody, and I’ll tell them that I’m no longer advocating them,” Davis said. “On the flip side, there’s nothing about my representation that’s going to be biased against them. Of course, there may be some circumstances where it’s not appropriate for me to be a judge over them.”

In those cases, another judge will be appointed, he said.

note, Davis said he hasn’t been given a gavel. “I’m not sure if I get one.”

He also finds himself doing double-takes when colleagues address him as “Judge” or “Your Honor.”

County because of the earthquake. State and local emergency management officials and officials from the U.S. Geological Survey assessed damage Sunday, according to Pawnee County Emergency Management Director Mark Randell.

“We’re just trying to determine just how widespread” the damage is, Randell said. He described it as minor to moderate, with some collapsed chimneys and fallen sandstone facing off buildings; no buildings collapsed.

None of the utilities, pipelines or fuel infrastructure in the area had major damage, either, the commission said. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation inspected 180 state bridges within a 30-mile radius of the epicenter and reported minor cosmetic damage to two structures, but all are open and safe for travel.

ODOT said the inspections across six counties took about six hours to complete.

Obama: Filipino president’s insult adds to headaches Continued from A1

with Duterte was off.

Duterte has been under intense global scrutiny over the more than 2,000 suspected drug dealers and users killed since he took office. Obama had said he planned to raise the issue in his first meeting with Duterte, but the Philippine leader insisted he was only listening to his own country’s people.

“You must be respectful,” Duterte said of Obama. “Do not just throw questions.” Using the Tagalog phrase for “son of a bitch,” he said, “Putang ina I will swear at you in that forum.” He made the comment in a televised news conference in southern Davao City.

Eager to show he wouldn’t yield, Obama said he would “undoubtedly” still bring up human rights and due process concerns “if and when” the two do meet.

A public break with the Philippines would put Obama in a tough position, given the Southeast Asian nation’s status as a longtime U.S. treaty ally. A key part of Obama’s signature policy of engagement with Asia has been stronger military ties to Manila, including a defense pact the two allies signed in 2014 allowing U.S. forces to be based temporarily in designated Philippine military camps.

Yet when it comes to Duterte, the Obama administration has sought

to compartmentalize.

Obama administration officials said they were confident military and other cooperation with the Philippines won’t be jeopardized despite misgivings about the country’s new leader.

The bizarre rift with Duterte was the most glaring example of how Obama has frequently found himself bound to foreign countries and leaders whose ties to the U.S. are critical even if their values sharply diverge.

In Hangzhou this week, Obama’s first stop in Asia, he heaped praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping for hosting the Group of 20 economic summit in his country, an authoritarian state long accused of human

rights violations. Upon Obama’s arrival, social media exploded with speculation China had slighted Obama after there was no staircase awaiting him on the tarmac, forcing the president to deplane through a set of internal stairs he rarely uses.

That prompted Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, to say he would have refused to meet with Chinese officials if he were treated that way, calling it “such a sign of disrespect.”

But U.S. officials said the incident actually stemmed more from a mix-up over finding a driver for the staircaseon-wheels who could communicate in English with the U.S. Secret

Service. The officials requested anonymity to describe private diplomatic arrangements.

Obama’s next stop was another one-party communist country with a dismal rights record: Laos, where mysterious disappearances have fueled concerns about a government crackdown.

And sitting down with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama made no mention in public of the roughly 35,000 people Erdogan’s government detained following the summer’s failed coup in Turkey. Instead, he worked to reassure the NATO ally the U.S. would help bring to justice whoever was responsible for plotting the coup.

Obama also spent about 90 minutes Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, another leader whose fate seems intertwined

with Obama’s in all the wrong ways. On opposing sides of many global issues, the U.S. and Russia are nonetheless trying to broker a deal to address the Syrian civil war and perhaps even partner militarily there.

“President Putin’s less colorful,” Obama said, comparing him with Duterte. “But typically the tone of our meetings is candid, blunt, businesslike.”

Managing Duterte has become a worsening headache for Obama since the Filipino took office on June 30, pledging his foreign policy wouldn’t be constricted by reliance on the U.S. Washington has tried largely to look the other way as Duterte has pursued closer relations with China, a marked shift for the Philippines considering recent tensions over Beijing’s aspirations in the South China Sea.

Having a plan for family emergencies Veterinary Feed What started out as a Sunday trip to the local urgent care center soon became an emergency room visit, where I was diagnosed with pneumonia.

But it didn’t end there. After testing, it was also determined that I was septic and needed to be transferred to a larger hospital. My diagnosis wasn’t only my crisis, however. It put my family in crisis as well. I thought I was making a trip to urgent care for evaluation and treatment of an upper respiratory infection, and informed my son that I would be gone for a couple of hours.

In this case, it became evident when I was going to have to be transferred to a different hospital, that my son’s stay at home was going to be extended. My only family member living close by happened to be out of state at the time and my son’s cell phone was dead. I was not able to get a hold of him via phone or text right away.

This raises the question “What plans have you made for your family in case of an emergency such as this or an emergency of any kind, for that matter?” If you have a plan, do the right people know what it is?

Emergency Communication Plan template that can be filled out and reviewed by families to aid them in the process of preparing for an emergency. See https://www. ready.gov/make-a-plan.

The first step to creating a family emergency plan is to collect important information such as emergency contact information for your family, medical facilities your family uses, family doctor names, schools,

plans for the buildings which they attend.

Follow the plan up by making copies of your Family Emergency Plan for each member of the household to carry with them in their wallets, backpacks, or purses.

Put a copy in a central location in your home, as well. For example, place the completed contact sheet in a sleeve protector and put adhesive magnetic strips on the back so that it can be at-

tached to the refrigerator door.

Put your plan into practice by discussing the steps each family member should take in the event of an emergency. When working with your children, use a variety of different scenarios to help explain what they need to do. Practice texting and making phone calls so that your children know how to explain themselves and the situation to emergency service professionals.

Explain what pieces of information are the most important and how to express them.

A simple text that says “I’m OK. At library” offers the recipient of the text peace of mind and a location where their family member can be found. You might want to emphasize that they add their name if they are not using a family member’s cell phone.

Crash BERLIN (AP) — An 80-year-old woman took an unintended short cut as she tried to drive her car out of a multistory car park in Germany, breaking though the building’s wall and landing on a convertible parked 10 feet below.

Neither the driver nor her 85-year-old husband, who was standing next to the car at the time, was hurt in the accident.

It happened as the driver was trying to maneuver her car out of a parking space.

The fire service used a ladder to free the woman. Police say the accident caused damage of about $27,900.

Kansans growing ever more obese; now 7th in nation

By BRYAN THOMPSON KHI News Service

One of every three adult Kansans was obese in 2015, ranking the state seventh in the country in an annual report. Kansas also was one of only two states where obesity rates increased from the previous year.

“The State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America” by the nonprofit Trust For America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation said Kansas had an adult obesity rate of 34.2 percent in 2015.

That’s up from 31.3 percent in 2014, when Kansas ranked 13th, and 13.5 percent in 1995.

Kansas and Kentucky were the only states that had statistically significant increases in their obesity rates for 2015.

Rates remained steady in most other states. However, obesity rates dropped in four states: Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio.

Men and women in Kansas had similar obesity rates, although they varied among racial groups at 42.7 percent for black Kansans, 35.4 percent for Latinos and 31 percent for whites.

Albert Lang, spokesman for Trust for America’s Health, said the growing obesity problem in Kansas is likely to be followed by larger numbers of Kansans with diseases linked to obesity — and larger health care costs.

“With more and more people becoming obese, as we saw in Kansas this year, more and more people are going to end up getting diabetes, hypertension and the other diseases,” he said.

Those other diseases include cancer, heart disease and arthritis.

The report projects the number of Kansans with

diabetes will increase by half from 2010 levels by 2030. The number of Kansans with hypertension will rise 28 percent over that same time period.

Meanwhile, incidence of cancer is projected to more than double, while heart disease cases more than triple.

More than half the

country has obesity rates at or above 30 percent, including all of the states that border Kansas except for Colorado at 20.2 percent. Twenty-two of the 25 states with the highest rates of obesity are in the South and Midwest.

“Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas — they all have significant-

ly high rates. They’re all above 30 percent,” Lang said. “The troubling thing for Kansas is that those other states did not show increases this year, while Kansas did.”

Not all the news is bad, though. The number of states where obesity is increasing has dropped over the past decade.

Lang said the country also seems to be making progress in the battle against childhood obesity.

“We’re beginning to see across-the-board stabilization or decreases in childhood obesity rates,” he said. “That only is good news for the future adult obesity rate, because we know if we can keep kids at a healthy weight through adolescence and into their teen years, they’re much less likely to be obese when they’re adults.”

Some other findings from the report, now in its 13th year, include: • The number of high school students who drink one or more soda a day has dropped by nearly 40 percent since 2007, to around one in five (20.4 percent).

• The number of high school students who report playing video or

computer games three or more hours a day has increased more than 88 percent since 2003, from 22.1 percent to 41.7 percent.

• More than 29 million children live in “food deserts,” where access to fresh produce and other healthy foods is limited, and more than 15 million children live in “food insecure” households with not enough to eat and limited access to healthy food.

• Farm-to-School programs now serve more than 42 percent of schools and 23.6 million children.

• Eighteen states and Washington, D.C., require a minimum amount of time that elementary students must participate in physical education; 14 states and Washington, D.C., require a minimum amount for middle schoolers; and six states require a minimum amount for high schoolers.

Opinion A5 The Iola Register

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Tuesday, September 6, 2016

A select few dictate policies of Kansas Chamber The tail wags the dog when it comes to the politics of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. A few businesses underwrite the Chamber’s electioneering with results contrary to the interests of most Kansas businesses.

The Kansas Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) conducts the Chamber’s campaign tactics, and prior to the August primary elections took Kansas politics to new lows with postcard smears designed to befuddle voters with diversionary messages. The deceptions included specious charges and slanders targeting opponents. Front groups with misleading labels were used to hide the Chamber’s name from the most scurrilous mudslinging. Rather than addressing issues directly, their postcards resorted to unsubstantiated allega-

Ed Flentje Kansas Insight

tions, guilt by association, and innuendo to denigrate opponents. Late reporting helped conceal their tactics from voters and the press.

The Chamber’s descent into election trickery is a relatively new development.

For most of the last 40 years not only did the organization responsibly represent business interests in the Kansas Capitol, but it also supported a balanced tax policy and defended funding for good quality public schools, postsecondary education, and

highways, among other core services.

The change in campaign strategy parallels the Chamber’s call for eliminating state income taxes and opposing any change in the reckless tax cuts of 2012 that exempted over 300,000 businesses from income taxes.

Beginning in 2012 the Chamber PAC dramatically boosted its campaign coffers, raising $2.2 million for the period, 2012-2016, according to data compiled from its reports available through the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission. That amount is more than triple the comparable figures of the prior five-year period.

While the Chamber PAC has upped its campaign game, a declining number of Kansas businesses are carrying water to support its chicanery. For example,

according to its reports to the Ethics Commission, four businesses and business owners alone contributed over 59 percent of the PAC’s war chest over the past five years. And in the last two years these same four businesses financed over 63 percent of the PAC’s campaigns.

Those four businesses and owners identified in PAC reports are: Koch Industries of Wichita; Justin Hill, Jr., of Lawrence and the Lawrence Paper Company; Ivan Crossland and Crossland companies of Columbus, Kansas; and David Murfin and Murfin Drilling of Wichita.

In essence four Kansas businesses are driving the nefarious campaigns of the Kansas Chamber to the detriment of the legitimate interests of all Kansas businesses in high quality public services. In good public schools. In

accessible and excellent state universities and colleges. In vocational education. In dependable state highways. In assistance to the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

Kansas business owners may want to take a cue from Kansas voters who overwhelmingly rejected Chamber-endorsed candidates in August primary elections.

Voters defeated 18 candidates anointed by the Chamber, including 13 incumbent state legislators. More candidates aligned with the Chamber are likely to fall in November.

The Kansas Chamber should represent the broad and varied interests of Kansas businesses not just a few with deep pockets who finance the Chamber PAC. Flentje is professor emeritus at Wichita State University.

Which is not to say the commission is right; Ireland apparently treated Apple no more favorably than other multinationals.

Nor is it fair to Apple to impose 12 years’ worth of tax liability ex post facto.

The real problem is the country-by-country inconsistency in tax policy that allows companies to stash profits beyond any nation’s reach. The situation cries out for a common international approach to recognizing where multinationals earn revenue — for example, by agreeing to apportion revenue according to where a company makes sales.

Meanwhile, the United States is only encouraging tax gamesmanship by clinging to a unique (and uniquely punitive) approach to taxing multinationals.

Surprisingly, a bipartisan consensus is emerging on how to bring the U.S. system more into line with the rest of the world’s. The longer it takes for Washington to act, however, the more European authorities will be tempted to grab the money first.

and Rachel work behindthe-scenes to manipulate the plot of a fictitious reality show.

Trump benefits from the expectation of phoniness. Pop-culture critic Jen Chaney wrote in The Post that “having a reality-TV celebrity running for commander in chief may subconsciously signal our brains to participate in this election the same way we’ve grown accustomed to consuming reality shows ... believing that none of it is genuine, that none of it has any actual consequences.” It doesn’t matter, therefore, if two out of three claims Trump makes are false, or if he proposes dangerous ideas: It’s only entertainment.

But we may have reached the limits of politics-as-reality television. Reality TV may favor scoundrels, but reality can be more judgmental. One of the earliest heroes of the genre, the Machiavellian Richard Hatch, won “Survivor” — and later won himself 51 months in prison for tax evasion.

Trump’s bigger problem is that recent episodes of the Trump Show just aren’t very good. His rapid dispatching of competitors during the primaries, his outrage du jour and his never-ending supply of insults made for gripping television, and his rivals never got enough attention to give Trump a serious challenge.

But since the primaries, Trump’s outrages and insults have become stale. Trump and his aides spent the past two weeks signaling that he was rethinking his immigration policy and would recast it in a major speech Wednesday.

He then delivered the same lines he has all along.

The Trump Show has lost its coherent story lines, its narrative arc.

Trump desperately needs a Quinn and Rachel to juice the plot, to manipulate where each episode is going.

But this is no longer reality TV; it’s reality. And reality is not as kind to Trump.

Allen teams return from weekend road trips

National Football League: Chargers at Chiefs; Sunday, Noon; CBS

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

The Allen Community College buses had a very busy Labor Day weekend.

Red Devil cross country, soccer and volleyball all were in action this weekend, with each facing long road trips.

Allen’s cross country team made the longest trip and sophomore Ricardo Banuelos was the star of the weekend for the Red Devils.

The Wichita native finished 17th of 226 runners in the Memphis Twilight Cross Country Classic in Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday.

Banuelos finished with a 20.15.6 time in the four-mile race.

“I was very happy with his performance,” Allen coach Vince DeGrado said. “He started out conservatively and just worked his way up as the race went.”

The field included several NCAA Division-I programs including SEC powers Alabama, Mississippi State and Mississippi, but Banuelos and the Red Devils were able to perform well on the big stage. The Allen men finished 10th in the 25-team field.

DeGrado says the depth of this year’s Red Devil squad continues to impress him and the team is just now beginning to figure out what strategies work best for them on race day.

“We had a faster team average than last year’s team, which I wasn’t expecting,” DeGrado said. “Last year’s team was front-loaded and we didn’t have match at the back.

This year, we have Ricardo, but we are more back-loaded and that is great.

“We have a team that if we put it together we will surprise a lot of people at the end of the season... If we are going to do well at the national See ALLEN | Page B3

Beaty gets first win of Jayhawk career

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — David Beaty had to stop for a moment, lower the microphone from his face and wipe away a tear.

His first win at Kansas meant that much to him.

“I’ve never been through what we went through last year,” the second-year coach said shortly after a 55-6 victory over Rhode Island on Saturday night. “Personally it was very difficult. I got emotional with those guys. It’s just so hard, so obviously I’m

overjoyed for them.”

Montell Cozart threw three touchdown passes, Ryan Willis had two more and third-string quarterback Carter Stanley also tossed one as the Jayhawks (1-0) won for the first time since beating Iowa State on Nov. 8, 2014 — a span of 665 days that included the program’s first 0-12 record a year ago.

“Last year, everybody knows the story,” said Cozart, who learned he would start at QB just before the kickoff. “It’s special for all of us and we know it’s special to our coach.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The longest regular-season win streak in the NFL these days belongs not to the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, the NFC champion Carolina Panthers or the perennially contending New England Patriots.

It belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The team of Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles and Co. that lost to the Patriots in the playoffs last season has not

dropped a regular-season game since Oct. 18, 2015. And that means the Chiefs carry a 10-game streak into a season full of optimism that begins against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

“It was such a good run last year and we felt like we had so much more in the tank,” Chiefs center Mitch Morse said. “We are ready to prove ourselves this year and go all the way. That’s the ultimate goal, and anything less is unsatisfactory.”

Schlafly’s family was with her when she died Monday afternoon of cancer at her home in St. Louis, her son John Schlafly said.

Schlafly rose to national attention in 1964 with her self-published book, “A Choice Not an Echo,” that became a manifesto for the far right. The book, which sold 3 million copies, chronicled the history of the Republican National Convention and is credited for helping conservative Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona earn the 1964 GOP nomination.

She later helped lead efforts to defeat the proposed constitutional amendment that would have outlawed gender discrimination, galvanizing the party’s right.

She’d graduated from college while working overnight at a factory during World War II, her newspaper column appeared in dozens of newspapers and she was politically active into her 90s — including attending every convention since her first in 1952. She attended this year’s convention as a Donald Trump delegate.

Yet she told The Associated Press in 2007 that perhaps her greatest legacy was the Eagle Forum, which she founded in 1972 in suburban St. Louis, where she lived.

The ultraconservative group has chapters in several states and claims 80,000 members.

“I’ve taught literally millions of people how to participate in self-government,” Schlafly said.

“I think I’ve built a wonderful organization of volunteers, mostly women but some men, willing to spend their time to get good laws and good politicians.”

Morales, Hosmer homer in Royals big win over Twins

By MIKE COOK The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Coming off a disappointing homestand, and on the edge of the AL wild-card race, the Kansas City Royals can’t afford to let too many more opportunities slip away.

The defending World Series champions regained their winning touch Monday, despite Brian Dozier hitting three home runs for Minnesota. The Royals got homers from Kendrys Morales and Eric Hosmer to pull away from the Twins 11-5.

Jarrod Dyson had three hits and scored three times for Kansas City, which won for the second time in six games.

“We put ourselves in a tough position, but we still believe that we can pull this thing off,” Hosmer said.

Kansas City started the day four games out of the second wild-card spot.

The Royals went 2-4 in their last six games with New York and Detroit, with each of the losses a

close one.

“We could be talking about a major run right here. We quite possibly could have been 6-0 at home,” manager Ned Yost said. “We still feel that we’re not out of this thing by any stretch of the imagination.”

Dozier homered on the first pitch from Ian Kennedy (10-9), then hit a two-run shot in the third and a solo drive into the upper deck in the eighth.

Dozier became the sixth Minnesota player to hit three home runs in a game, and the first to do it at home.

Dozier has eight home runs in seven games and 38 this season, the most by a Twins player since Harmon Killebrew hit 41 in 1970. Dozier’s 10 home runs against Kansas City this year are the most ever by a Royals opponent.

“It would be better to

be on the winning side of it,” Dozier said.

Kennedy struggled with command, allowing four earned runs in 5 1-3 innings but is 4-0 in his past five starts.

Morales hit a threerun drive off Jose Berrios (2-5) in the fifth for a 5-4 lead. Hosmer, who had four RBIs, hit a three-run homer in the eighth.

Berrios was called up from Triple-A to start.

The Royals tagged him for five earned runs on nine hits in five innings.

Considered the Twins’ top pitching prospect, Berrios allowed 21 earned runs in 22 innings over five August starts before being sent down.

Dozier has hit a majors-most 24 home runs since the All-Star break.

He’s connected 36 times as a second baseman and twice as a designated hitter. The AL record for homers in a season by a second baseman is 39 by Alfonso Soriano in 2002 for the Yankees.

“The best way to (get him out) is don’t throw fastballs down the middle and that’s what we did,” Yost said.

Dozier became the second Twins player with a three-homer game this year. Rookie Max Kepler did it at Cleveland.

TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: OF Lorenzo Cain missed his fifth straight game because of left wrist inflammation. He was allowed to swing a bat Monday and remains day to day.

Twins: Kepler got the day off. Kepler, who leads AL rookies in home runs (16), RBIs (59) and walks (37), has played in all but one game since July 28.

He struck out five times Sunday. “We talk about young players and the challenge of playing September baseball for the first time,” said manager Paul Molitor. “We’ll try to keep them fresh as we can.”

UP NEXT Dillon Gee (6-7, 4.33) is scheduled to start for Kansas City tonight against Ervin Santana (7-10, 3.54). Gee was 2-2 with a 3.94 ERA in five August starts and pitched an inning of relief Friday. Santana is 3-1 in his last five starts with a 3.09 ERA.

Allen: Cross country teams rock Memphis Continued from B1

meet we need a frontrunner like Ricardo, but if we have pack up two through six positions we will be dangerous. I think we have figured out how to be successful, now we have to execute it.”

Phillip Langemann crossed the line next for Allen in 49th place. Paul Becker was 69th, Alejandro Ruiz took 87th and Ludreche Bouange was the final team-scoring runner in 96th.

“I was pleased with the way Phillip, a sophomore, stayed composed,” DeGrado said. “Our freshmen had a blanklook on their face for the first mile or mile and a half. They were running scared, then all of a sudden they snapped out of it and ran a really good second half of the race which I was happy to see.”

Ben Lucier and Obed Quintana also finished in the top half of the field, in 100th and 108th respectively. Jose Alvarado, Andonet Thermidor, Jose Reza and Ryan Yarde wrapped up

the roster and all finished with top-150 times.

THE WOMEN were led by their star runner Kaitlyn Shoemaker who was coming off as Jayhawk Conference Runner of the Week along with Banuelos. Shoemaker finished 30th out of 229 runners from the same top schools the men faced.

“Kaitlyn and Ricardo are pretty much doing what we need them to do and I don’t see us slowing down, I really don’t,” DeGrado said. “We are only going to get better.”

Shoemaker ran 18:25.2 in the 5-kilometer race to break her own school record.

The Red Devil women finished 13th in the team scores.

Freshman Abby Steinhauser was 67th with sophomores Vicky Ibarra and Kristina Silvers placing 101st and 109th respectively.

Hannah Johnson was 128th, Jessica Reese finished 159th, Kim Rodriguez took 161st and Maria Puenta was 165th.

Gemma Gonzalez, Ci-

ara Bennett and Jaelyn Casanova rounded out the Red Devil runners by finishing in 179th, 191st and 196th respectively.

The cross country teams will be back in action on Sept. 17 at the Missouri Southern State University Stampede in Joplin.

VOLLEYBALL The Red Devil volleyball team traveled north to Highland for a tournament.

The Red Devils ended the tournament on Saturday with a big win over Ellsworth Community College to salvage a win after a rough start to the tournament.

Allen beat Ellsworth 3-1. The Red Devils took the first set 25-12, but Ellsworth squeaked out a 25-23 victory in the second set to even the match.

Allen responded with 25-19 and 25-22 victories to take the match.

The Red Devils got off to a rocky start on Friday with a five-set loss against Labette Community College.

The Red Devils won

the first set 25-21. Labette answered with a 2522 victory in the second.

Allen came back with a 25-23 nail-biter in the third and Labette forced a winner-take-all fifth set with a 25-14 win in the fourth set.

In the fifth, Labette escaped 15-13.

Things got no better in the Red Devils’ first match on Saturday. They lost in straight sets to Iowa Central Community College, 25-15, 25-18 and 25-21.

SOCCER The Red Devil soccer programs suffered similar fates on Saturday with each losing 6-1 to Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa.

Star forward Brynn Suddeth scored in the second half for the women’s team to avoid the shutout for the women.

Men’s star Jordan Velasco added to his team-leading goal total with a score in the 24th minute, but that was all the offense the Red Devils mustered in their lopsided loss.

Jayhawks: Win

B3 B3

Continued from B1

to 219 yards of offense by a Kansas defense that gave up at least 40 points eight times last season. Wes McKoy was 6 of 29 for 43 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Rhode Island has never beaten a school from the Football Bowl Subdivision in 14 tries.

“There were some ugly things that happened out there and we’ll try to find the positives out of it and see where it goes from here,” Rhode Island coach Jim Fleming said. “We played very poorly for what we’re capable of and as a result, we got spanked a little bit.”

Beaty has been slowing trying to rebuild the downtrodden Jayhawks, and there was little evidence of progress last season. But an infusion of touted freshmen and high-profile transfers — LaQuvionte Gonzalez came from Texas A&M, for example — gave a decent opening crowd reason to be optimistic.

So did the scoreboard: Kansas piled up its most points since routing Nebraska 76-39 on Nov. 3, 2007, when Mark Mangino was still on the sideline. The Jayhawks are on their fourth head coach since then.

“It’s our first win in my time here,” Beaty said, “but man, there’s been so many victories we’ve shared leading up to this. It’s just the first time it’s come to fruition on the scoreboard.”

Gonzalez caught seven passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. Steven Sims Jr. hauled in a couple of touchdown grabs.

Taylor Martin and Ke’aun Kinner also ran for scores.

But the big question surrounding Kansas on Saturday night was who would be under center.

Cozart was the starter before a season-ending injury a year ago, and Willis took over the rest of the way. The two battled until the final week of training camp and Cozart won the right to take the first snaps of the game, though both played a significant amount of time.

Cozart wound up going 18 of 25 for 199 yards, while Willis

was 7 of 9 for 144 yards.

“We just knew all week if we trusted out coaches everything would fall into place,” Cozart said.

“We just had to handle the routine plays and everything would take care of itself.”

Still, there were times they looked like the same old Jayhawks.

Late in the first half, Kansas failed to convert third down, got called for illegal substitution and missed a field-goal attempt. Cozart threw a pick in the end zone midway through the third quarter, while Derrick Neal botched a punt return midway through the fourth quarter.

But for the most part, it was easy to look good against the Rams.

The Football Championship Subdivision bottom-dweller also muffed a punt that led to the Jayhawks’ first touchdown, then had their only extra-point attempt blocked in the second quarter.

“We were looking to come in and win. We were looking to come in and execute and play cleanly,” Fleming said, “and we did none of the above.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Rhode Island running back Harold Cooper, arguably their biggest playmaker, hurt his ankle early in the game and never had a carry.

T.J. Anderson carried 16 times for 59 yards in his place.

THE TAKEAWAY Rhode Island: The Rams’ chances were ruined in part by three turnovers, including a pair of fumbles that were recovered by the Jayhawks. Both of them turned into eventual touchdowns.

Kansas: Gonzalez has star potential. The speedy wide receiver had to sit out last season under NCAA transfer rules, so he was playing in his first game since Dec. 29, 2014. “He had an awesome night,” Willis said. “I felt like of all the guys he had the best night.”

UP NEXT Rhode Island: Plays its home opener against Albany next Saturday.

Kansas: Ohio visits Memorial Stadium next Saturday.

Wildcats: McCaffrey, Cardinal knock off Kansas State

Bradford traded PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Eagles have traded quarterback Sam Bradford to the Vikings for a pair of draft picks.

Bradford replaces Teddy Bridgewater, who went down for the season after suffering a gruesome knee injury this week.

The Eagles receive a firstround pick in 2017 and a fourth-round pick in 2018.

Bradford’s departure means backup Chase Daniel will start the season as Philadelphia’s No. 1 quarterback. Carson Wentz, who was selected with the No. 2 overall pick, missed the last three preseason games after breaking his ribs.

“He had those two big plays,� Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. “Outside of that I think our guys defended him quite well.�

THE TAKEAWAY Kansas State: The Wildcats’ inexperienced offensive line featuring two freshmen struggled.

Stanford had eight sacks, including one in the end zone by Jordan Watkins for a safety. Jesse Ertz was briefly knocked out of the game in the second half after one hit. He recovered to throw a late TD pass to Isaiah Zuber. “There was just absolutely no consistency with us offensively,� Snyder said.

Stanford: After convert-

ing his first five thirddown passes into first downs, Burns struggled.

The Cardinal had just one first down in the second half before McCaffrey’s second TD run. The defense was up to the task to make the lead hold but could have more trouble doing that once the Pac-12 schedule starts.

wiped it all out and forced Stanford to start a drive on its own 2. “There is a reason why there are no 97-yard punt returns because you should not catch the ball on the 3-yard line. He knows that,� Shaw said. “But what he did after he caught it, wow, that’s

WIPED OFF TD The biggest highlight might have been a play that didn’t even count.

McCaffrey fielded a punt at his own, and made his way through almost the entire Kansas State coverage unit for a 97-yard score. The only problem was an illegal block by Curtis Robinson that

both teams.

Stanford had just 30 yards in the second half before McCaffrey’s long touchdown run following a failed onside kick by Kansas State put the game away. “By nature, he’s not a patient human being.

He wants everything to be perfect,� coach David Shaw said. “Like many players, he drives himself and he drives his teammates. At the end of the game, he kept saying it, ‘We’re so much better than this. We’re so much better.’ It’s not about his yards, not about his carries, it’s about our machine when we’re humming.�

After a fast start led by quarterback Ryan Burns in his first career start, the Cardinal were far from a machine in the second half. With a new quarterback and three new offensive linemen, Stanford struggled to get anything going with a fumble and four punts to start the second half.

But a defense that had eight sacks, one safety and two turnovers made sure it wasn’t an issue. “The defense bailed us out a lot in the second half,� McCaffrey said. “We just have to be better in a lot of different areas.

We have a lot of new guys on this team playing their first college football game.

Sometimes that comes back and haunts you, especially Week 1.�

Burns started fast by completing his first 10 passes, including a 40yard touchdown strike to Michael Rector on the opening play of the second quarter.

McCaffrey then got into the act with an electrifying 35-yard touchdown run. He froze safety Kendall Adams with a juke and raced to the end zone for the score. “When he touches the ball enough, good things happen,� coach David Shaw said.

McCaffrey shattered Barry Sanders’ 27-yearold record by gaining 3,496 all-purpose yards last season when he finished second to Alabama’s Derrick Henry in the Heisman.

He finished 126 yards on 22 carries and 210 allpurpose yards in the opener this year.

Chiefs: Face Chargers Week 1 Continued from B1

The Chiefs certainly hope to get off to a better start. After winning their opener in Houston a year ago, they proceeded to lose five straight games, a run of misfortune that included the loss of Charles to a season-ending knee injury.

But behind the calming poise of Smith, the running duo of Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware, and a top-flight defense, the Chiefs pieced together one of the best stretches in franchise history. Not only did they return to the playoffs, they also won their first postseason game in nearly three decades.

Now, they want to take another step.

“The ultimate goal,” veteran pass rusher Tamba Hali said, “is to win a championship here.”

As the Chiefs prepare for their season opener, here are the dominant story lines: INJURY WATCH Pro Bowl linebacker Justin Houston will not be back until at least midway through the season after having surgery to repair a knee ligament in February. The Chiefs have also been cautious with Charles and Hali, both of whom are coming off their own knee surgeries.

“I’m ready for whatever the coaches ask,” said Charles, who likely will sit out the opener. “I’m ready, happy and looking forward to getting on the field. When my time comes, it’s going to come.”

DEFENSIVE QUESTION MARKS The absence of Houston and Hali’s age and health make the pass rush a significant question mark. Former firstround pick Dee Ford has not lived up to expectations, and a season-ending hip injury to middle linebacker Josh Mauga leaves the linebackers corps in flux.

The Chiefs may need to generate quarterback pressure from Jaye Howard, Dontari Poe, Allen Bailey and rookie Chris Jones, who together form one of the league’s best defensive lines.

“We continue to come out and do a lot of good things,” Poe said. “I feel like we can be the best we’ve ever been since I’ve been here. I feel like if we keep pushing we’ll be right where we want to be.”

BUCKLING DOWN There are also questions in the secondary, where second-year pro Steven Nelson and Phillip Gaines have been competing for the starting cornerback spot opposite Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters.

Eric Berry should provide some leadership, but will he be rusty early on? The All-Pro safety

did not sign his franchise tender and report to training camp until Aug. 31, so he missed all of the preseason.

“The only thing is just getting used to so many bodies flying around, NFL bodies,” he said.

“You try to fill it in with high school players and other people that are around training, but it’s different when you have 11 guys on the field that know what they’re doing and know where to be.

Things tend to move a little faster, so just getting that rust knocked off and adjusting quickly.”

CALLING THE SHOTS Chiefs coach Andy Reid will continue to have the final say on offense, but he’ll have new voices helping him out.

Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson is now the head coach in Philadelphia, so Childress is sharing duties with Matt Nagy. But both coaches insisted very little has changed.

“There’s some staples to our offense, but we grow,” Nagy said. “We adapt to the players that we have, and (Reid) is very creative. He does a good job of mixing guys around — mixing and matching. So that’s a part of keeping the game fun as well.”

SHARING THE LOAD Charles, West and Ware give the Chiefs three running backs capable of carrying the load, so it will be interesting to see whether there are enough carries to go around. Charles is the most complete of the three, but the scatter-bug West and bruising Ware offer a nice change of pace “All of those guys have different things that they do well,” co-offensive coordinator Brad Childress said. “We expect them to do the same type of things.”
