FBI seeks suspect in NYC blasts

By JAKE PEARSON and ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press

Hawk artist reception Tuesday Iola artist Gary Hawk, as much a living legend as there may ever be in these parts, will be honored at a reception Tuesday at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The occasion is a weeklong Bowlus exhibit of Hawk’s artwork in the Mary L. Martin Gallery.

The exhibit will remain open through this weekend’s annual Buster Keaton Celebration.

The reception runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Doors

open at 5:45.

H a w k ’ s work has received international acclaim since he devoted his full attention to his work Gary Hawk in the 1970s, inlcuding being displayed at the Kansas Governor’s Mansion in Cedar Crest, on a Christmas ornament in the White House, in the Reagan Library in Washington,

D.C., on the cover of Kansas Magazine and through the advertising and marketing of numerous companies’ packaging and retail items.

He also designed boats for the old IMP boat plant when it was open in Iola. Prior to that, he designed Hallmark cards.

His most famous piece, most would agree, is a print of Milburn Stone, who portrayed Doc on the classic western television series “Gunsmoke.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Police released a photo of a 28-year-old immigrant wanted for questioning today in the bombing that rocked a Manhattan neighborhood, and the governor and mayor said the blast is looking increasingly like an act of terrorism with a foreign connection.

Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan with an address in Elizabeth, New Jersey, should be considered armed and dangerous, Mayor Bill de Blasio said in one of a series of TV appearances just minutes after the photo was released.

In addition to the blast in Chelsea on Saturday, a pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey shore town before a charity 5K race and an unexploded pressure cooker device was found blocks away from the explosion site in Chelsea. On Sunday, five explosive devices were discovered at a New Jersey train station.

Authorities are investigating whether the bombings and explosive devices were related.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said as investigators gathered information they learned there were “certain commonalities among the bombs,” leading authorities to believe “that there was a common group behind the bombs.”

“We want to get this guy in for questioning,” de Blasio said on CNN. “We need the facts to be able to piece all this together. ... I think we’re going to know a lot more in the course of the day. Things are moving very quickly.”

Early today, FBI agents swarmed an apartment above a fried chicken restaurant in Elizabeth that’s

tied to Rahami. The activity came hours after one of five devices found at the nearby Elizabeth train station exploded while a bomb squad robot attempted to disarm it. No one was injured.

Saturday night’s blast in the bustling Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan injured 29 people, and another unexploded device made out of pressure cooker was found several blocks away.

In the immediate aftermath of that bombing, de Blasio and Cuomo were careful to See BLAST | Page A4

SOMBER SALUTE Allen County law enforcement, fire, medical and other emergency first responders gathered at several points Saturday morning, including the Missouri Road overpass spanning U.S. 169 south of Iola, to pay their last respects to Master Deputy Brandon Collins of Johnson County. Collins was killed while on duty Sept. 11 by a drunk driver. His funeral procession, which went from Johnson County to Oilton, Okla., allowed agencies across eastern Kansas an opportunity to pay their respects.

They were married almost 27 years. A stepdaughter, Wendy (Mark) Waggoner, Austin, Texas; a stepson Wayne H. Hirsch, Montello, Wisc.; and a brother-in-law, Emil (Alice) Hirsch, Chicago; survive her along with two children from the united marriage to Delbert Lorraine Miller, Lake Geneva, Wisc., deceased November 2014, and Ken Schultz, dear companion, Fort Myers.

One son, Delbert Lynn (Nancy) Miller, Seattle, Wash., and daughter, Kathleen Ann (Dennis) Miller Rich. Daughter Dianne once wrote: Once upon a memory, someone wiped away a tear, held me close and loved me, thank you Mother dear.

Lu had a passionate love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Ian Theodore (Maryam) Rich and daughters, Alexandra Nicole Rich and Stella Rose Rich, Park Ridge, Ill.; adopted grandsons, Javier and Roberto Rich.

Kyle Robert Miller, Jackelyn Miller and Tara Marie (Louie) Brothers, Seattle; Jessica Ann (Josh) Schultze, daughter, Angelina Ann Dow and son Hunter Herman Dow of Jefferson, Wisc.; Dr. Sara Dianne (Peter) Sholts of Iron Mountain, Mich., and Carl Thomas (Heather) Lange and daughter, River Anne Lange and son Kierian Thomas Lange, Cottage Grove, Wisc.

Leaving Alberta at a young age, she lived in Port Angeles, Wash., Santa Paula, Calif., Kansas and Madison, Wisc., until moving in 1994 to their home in Fort Myers. Her favorite pastime since retirement was traveling and playing bridge with friends and various groups.

Kress, Iola; office work for Allen County Agricultural Extension Agents; bookkeeping at Miller’s Appliance store, Iola; then office work at Wisconsin Hospital Association, Madison, before serving 18 years at Mead and Hunt, Inc., Consulting Engineers in Madison, when she retired at age 56. Before retirement, her community services included PTA President, playing in the percussion section of the local symphony group and community band and volunteered as Treasurer for the First Christian Church, all in Iola, prior to relocating her family to Madison, where she served at the election polls. In Fort Myers she was a “SHINE” volunteer.

Lu was listed as an organ donor and tolerated her heart illness since 2000 with a defibrillator and pacemaker accepting with much grace the many defibrillator shocks to keep her alive.

This poem was written by the surviving daughters of Lulu Conover, Lu’s Grandmother, who died in 1944.

“MOTHER”

Mother mine, you were patient and kindNo better mother will we ever findIt is so sweet to know there is someone who will be waiting for us to come.

You were understanding, loving and true, A Christian soul who will dwell in the heavens blue; You will be happy with your friends up there and the guiding star will shine down on us somewhere.”

Celebration of Life for Lu Hirsch was Sunday in Fort Myers. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, Fort Myers, or American Heart Association. Interment will follow at a later date.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Though recycling loses profit edge; we should still do it We didn’t see this coming.

But it doesn’t pay to recycle, according to a lengthy story in Sunday’s Kansas City Star.

One reason is because the price of oil remains depressed, and petroleum products are essential to the production of plastic.

Another reason is because China has stopped growing at a record pace and its energy needs are no longer a yawning hole in which we could pour our cast off recyclables.

All across the country recycling centers are closing because of the negative return on value. Today, it’s more economical to produce something out of oil than to recycle old materials. Today’s products also use less plastic. The typical plastic bottle of water, for example, contains 50 percent less plastic than one of 15 years ago. Last year, one ton of No. 2 plastic sold for $320 a ton. Today, that mountain of milk jugs sells for $60.

And it’s not just plastic.

Paper and aluminum products also are fetching much

lower prices, forcing municipalities to increase the cost of curbside pickup.

SO DOES this mean we stop recycling?

No, but it does require a shift in thinking. Even if recycling isn’t a profitable business, it still costs a lot to dump all that stuff into our landfills.

Chanute, for example, last week raised its trash collection fees by $1.95 a month to allow for a $1.3 million expansion to its landfill, which is almost full. That brings its trash collection fees to almost $15 a month. (For August, the Lynn/Wolfe household’s was $8.50.)

As citizens of this earth, we have not been very good at learning that recycling is to be the last of the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and then if all else fails, recycle.

Realizing we are paying double for each bottle of water — for its initial purpose as well as for its disposal — could help in curbing the use of disposables.

To do so will require a seismic shift in attitude.

— Susan Lynn

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

People should be thinking of what kind of government we want in this election. Do we want good, healthy economic times or do we want “trickle-down economics” and another Depression?

We have bad government in Kansas thanks to Governor Sam Brownback and his criminal Republicans.

Now do we want the same bad criminal Republican government in Washington, D.C. with Donald Trump?

The Republican Party is not the Party of Lincoln. It has become the party of the Neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan and the Rich White Man. As we have seen under Gov. Brownback, life with Trump as president will mean nothing but death and hardship and no democracy.

1. No freedom of speech.

Trump will jail anybody who disagrees with him.

2. Trump will tax the poor, give big tax breaks to

his buddies like the Koch brothers and his fellow Rich White Men of Wall Street.

3. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare will be destroyed. Only the rich will have medicine.

The rest of us peasants will starve to death and die from the lack of medical care. I predict mass deaths of the old, poor and middle class.

4. No money will go toward roads, bridges or any kind of infrastructure. What the country needs to be repaired or replaced will be robbed of its funds.

5. He will under-fund, or worse, destroy, the public school system. Only the rich will get an education in their private schools.

6. He will get us into another war and we may all die from a nuclear war because he is a bully.

Is this what we want for our children?

Beverly Curry, Kincaid, Kan.

Trump’s ‘charity’ a shameless scam The Clinton Foundation is an actual charity that funds worthy causes. It’s been scrutinized by the press, quite fairly, because it’s also been used as a way to court favor with the Clintons.

The Trump Foundation hasn’t received the same kind of attention – until now.

Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold took a deep dive into the way Trump uses his foundation and found it’s not really a charity at all.

Like Trump University, it’s a money-making, self-promotional scam. Trump’s family foundation doesn’t give away nearly as much money as the Clintons’, but if they were doing even a fraction of this flimflam, it would be a national scandal.

The first thing to understand is that Trump’s foundation gives away other people’s money and passes it off as his own so that he can claim all the credit. This way, he can be a rich guy who looks generous for free.

Trump claims to have given away millions, but refuses to produce any records of this.

Remember when he bragged he’d raised $6 million for veterans in January, at a fundraiser he held so he could skip a GOP debate?

The final total fell short of that, and only after the press asked him to explain where all the money went was he finally shamed into sending out more checks from his foundation and making his own promised $1 million con-

tribution.

Besides that donation, all we have are the records of his foundation, which he hasn’t given a dime of his own money to since 2008, the Post reported.

He convinces other people to give, and what he does with their charity is shameless.

He’s used it for illegal political gifts, like donating to the campaign of a Florida Attorney General who was about to

ity.” He gave away $150,000 of another foundation’s money to a police group that paid more than $200,000 to hold its gala on Trump’s property, so Trump ended up richer.

The police also gave him an award for his philanthropy, because they had no idea the donation wasn’t Trump’s own money. And the New Jersey foundation that actually donated — named for a deceased friend of his — didn’t realize

investigate Trump University for fraud — then suddenly decided not to.

He’s used it to stay in the good graces of other charities that pay big to rent his event spaces, and buy himself gifts at their auctions, like a $20,000, six-foot tall painting of himself. Or a $12,000 Tim Tebow football helmet.

He’s used it to pay for his bombastic on-air promises to donate money “out of my wallet,” on TV shows like “The Celebrity Apprentice” — while NBCUniversal, which broadcasts the show, donates enough to his foundation to more than cover the tab.

Sometimes, Trump even made money off his “char-

until later that it didn’t need Trump as a middleman.

The Trump foundation repeatedly broke IRS rules by reporting it gave gifts to charities that never actually received the money. You might chalk this up to rampant mismanagement, if not for Trump’s bragging that he’s given away millions and his refusal to turn over any proof.

Perhaps he is trying to hide the fact that his “philanthropy” is pure deception.

It’s striking is how little real interest Trump seems to have in helping others. His version of charity, it seems, is making himself look good.

Dole, Kassebaum speak out for unity LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Former Republican U.S. Sens. Nancy Kassebaum and Bob Dole said they lament the erosion of bipartisanship among political leaders in Washington.

“We were proud to be traditional Kansas Republican conservatives,” Dole said at the University of Kansas’ Dole Institute of Politics on Saturday. Dole, 93, served in the U.S. Senate from 1969 to 1996 and U.S. House from 1961 to 1969. He unsuccessfully ran for president in 1996 against then-incumbent Democrat Bill Clinton.

“We understood to get things done you have Ds and Rs, but Nancy and I also had friends on both sides,” Dole said. “We were sent there to do a job, not call each other names.”

Kassebaum, who served 18 years in the Senate with Dole, said working across the aisle on complicated public policy challenges had lost its luster. Kassebaum, 84, is the daughter of Alf Landon, the unsuccessful GOP presidential nominee in 1936.

She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978 and re-elected twice.

“What really is a concern is that people don’t trust or respect. We’re really lacking it today,” Kassebaum said. “That’s why so many people today say, ‘Oh, I’m so tired of all this yelling and shouting, we may just may not vote.’”

Kassebaum was also presented the 2016 Dole Leadership Prize, which is awarded annually to an individual or group whose public service inspired others. Kassebaum’s husband, the late Sen. Howard Baker, received the award in 2006.

Dole said it wasn’t uncommon in the 1970s and 1980s, when both were in the U.S. Senate, for Democrats and Republicans to sit together and talk about family or life in their home state. He said those discussions can be the foundation of compromise.

“If everybody agreed with you, it’d be a dull life,” Dole said.

Squeaky clean Several area youngsters aided with a car wash Saturday as a means to raise money for the upcoming Farm-City Days celebration. The youngsters who participated did so in order to gain access to the Ottaway Amusements carnival rides when the carnival opens Oct. 7.

Other Farm-City Days activities include auditions at 6 p.m Tuesday for the FCD Idol and FCD Junior Idol competitions at the Iola Community Theatre Warehouse. In addition, buttons are being sold in the run-up to the second annual Medallion Hunt, which begins later this month. The person who finds the medallion hidden somewhere in Allen County will receive $1,000, provided he has purchased a button first. Buttons sell for $2 apiece at the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce.

Redskins, rock band join teams in trademark fight WASHINGTON (AP) — Simon Tam has openly criticized the Washington Redskins team name as a racist slur that demeans Native Americans.

But Tam and his Asian-American rock band, The Slants, have formed an unusual alliance with the NFL franchise as they both battle the U.S. government over trademark protection for names that some consider offensive.

The Supreme Court could decide as early as this month whether to hear the dispute involving the Portland, Oregon-area band. And if the football team has its way, the justices could hear both cases in its new term.

At issue is a First Amendment challenge to a law barring the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from registering trademarks that disparage minority groups. The office denied a trademark to the Slants in 2011 after finding the name disparaged people of Asian descent.

The Slants say their goal was not to offend

anyone, but to transform a derisive term about the shape of Asian eyes into a statement of ethnic and cultural pride. The band won a major victory last year when a divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., ruled the law prohibiting offensive trademarks violates free-speech rights. The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to overturn that ruling.

The Redskins, too, say their team name is meant to honor American Indians. But the team has faced years of legal challenges, and a testy public relations fight, from members of the very group they claim to salute. The Redskins case involves the trademark office’s move last year to cancel the team trademark that was first registered in 1967. A federal judge has agreed with that decision.

A federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, has not yet considered the team’s appeal, but the Redskins are urging the Supreme Court not to wait. If the high court

agrees to hear the Slants case, the team wants the justices to hear both disputes at the same time. Such requests to leapfrog lower courts are rarely granted.

Tam, in a legal brief, agrees that the cases should be considered together.

Otherwise, he says, a future ruling against the Redskins could end up affecting the band’s status.

The legal alliance may seem surprising to anyone who has been on The Slants’ website. One section has a lengthy list of reasons why the cases are different. No. 1 is “unlike REDSKINS, THE SLANTS is not an inherent racial slur.”

The website says the word Redskin “has a long history of oppression” and “the football team treats the people as mascots.” By contrast, The Slants “breaks stereotypes about Asian-Americans, especially in the entertainment industry.”

Tam does not mention those distinctions in his brief to the court, and he declined

say there was no evidence of a link to international terrorism. Both said today that appears to be changing.

“The more we learn with each passing hour is it looks more like terrorism,” de Blasio said in a later interview on NY1 News.

Cuomo, in a separate interview on MSNBC, said: “Today’s information suggests it may be foreign related but we’ll see where it goes. ...

My operating premise is anytime, anywhere, seven days a week you could have an incident like this.”

The White House said President Barack Obama was briefed throughout the night and early today on the investigation into bombs found in New York City and New Jersey. Spokes-

man Josh Earnest said Obama will comment publicly later today.

On Sunday night, FBI agents in Brooklyn stopped “a vehicle of interest” in the investigation of the Manhattan explosion, according to FBI spokeswoman Kelly Langmesser.

She wouldn’t provide further details, but a government official and a law enforcement official who were briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press that five people in the car were being questioned at an FBI building in Manhattan.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the investigation.

No one has been charged, and the investigation is continuing, Langmesser said.

Cuomo, touring the site of Saturday’s blast in Chelsea, said the unexploded pressure cooker device appeared “similar in design” to the bomb that exploded in Chelsea.

On Sunday, a federal law enforcement official said the Chelsea bomb contained a residue of Tannerite, an explosive often used for target practice that can be picked up in many sporting goods stores.

The discovery of Tannerite may be important as authorities probe whether the two New York City devices and the pipe bomb at the Jersey shore are connected.

Cellphones were discovered at the site of both bombings, but no Tannerite residue was identified in the New Jersey bomb remnants, in which a black powder

was detected, said the official, who wasn’t authorized to comment on an ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

The pipe bomb exploded Saturday in Seaside Park, New Jersey, before a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors. The race was canceled and no one was injured.

The bombings in New York City and New Jersey happened the same day that a man stabbed and injured nine people at a Minnesota mall before an off-duty police officer fatally shot him.

The St. Cloud police chief said the man reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if he or she was Muslim before attacking. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility.

to be interviewed.

In the Slants case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in December that the First Amendment protects “even hurtful speech that harms members of oft-stigmatized communities.”

“The First Amendment forbids government regulators to deny registration because they find the speech likely to offend others,” Judge Kimberly Moore said for the majority.

The administration argues that the law does not restrict speech because the band is still free to use the name even without trademark protection. The law “simply reflects Congress’ judgment that the federal government should not affirmatively promote the use of racial slurs and other disparaging terms by granting the benefits of registration,” the government said.

Jeremy Sheff, a pro-

fessor at St. John’s University School of Law who specializes in intellectual property, said the Supreme Court could be interested in the cases because it has been “pretty aggressive” in protecting First Amendment speech — even remarks considered highly offensive.

“The knock on the law is that nobody knows what disparagement means,” he said. “That is a concern.”

The Redskins claim their case is “a better vehicle” than Tam’s for the Supreme Court to consider the constitutionality of the trademark law. The team says the effect of canceling a trademark is more harmful because it has been relying on the law’s financial protections for nearly 50 years. Without trademark protection, the team could lose millions if it can’t block the sale of counterfeit merchandise.

NFL: Texans, Chiefs

Offense can’t finish, Chiefs fall to Texans

High School Volleyball: Humboldt Tournament

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

HOUSTON (AP) — DeAndre Hopkins got Houston going early and defense and special teams did the rest in a 19-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Hopkins had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to help the Texans to the victory .

Novak connected from 32, 24, 31 and 43 yards for the Texans.

Cairo Santos made three field goals in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 19-12, but Houston recovered the onside kick with less than a minute left to seal the victory.

The Texans (2-0) showed that they are a much different team than the one that was embarrassed in a 30-0 wildcard playoff loss to the Chiefs (1-1) in January, when quarterback Brian Hoyer had five turnovers.

New quarterback Brock Osweiler did throw two interceptions but the Chiefs had more trouble taking care of the ball, with Houston’s defense setting a franchise record by recovering three fumbles in the first half.

“Our defense really stood up there and when they had to in critical situations played well,” coach Bill O’Brien said.

The first came when a high snap sailed over Alex Smith’s head. J.J. Watt shoved him out of the way with one hand and pounced on it, showing he was getting back to his old self after July back surgery.

Osweiler, who finished with 268 yards passing, connected See CHIEFS | Page B4

Soccer wins highlight Allen’s weekend

CROSS COUNTRY The Red Devil Cross Country teams spent their Saturday at the Southern Stampede hosted by Missouri Southern State University in Joplin and once again Ricar-

do Banuelos and Kaitlyn Shoemaker stood out.

Banuelos and his Allen men’s team took on the NCAA D-II competition in the ‘University’ race. Banuelos took 10th out of the 203-person field. He ran a 25:10.78.

Philip Lagemann — 25:54.28 — was 31st, Ludreche Bounga — 26:39.24 — was 65th. Jesus Gutierrez — 26:45.21 — was 70th.

Paul Becker — 27:11.99 — was 89th. Alejandro Ruiz — 27:122.62 — was 91st.

Obed Quintana — 27:32.86 — was 111th. Ben Lucier — 27:43.19 — was 116th.

Andonet Thermidor — 27:43.19 — was 125th. Josue Alvarado — 27:48.83 — was 128th. Ryan Yarde — 28:05.69 — was 142th.

Allen finished 11th as a team and beat out several D-II schools.

“We grew a lot and took a big step forward towards championship time,” Allen coach Vince DeGrado said.

Shoemaker took first in the ‘College’ division of the race.

Her time of 18:08.4 — breaking her own school-record — would have earned her 15th in the ‘University’ race, but the Allen star was not pushed in the ‘College’ race, winning by 12 seconds.

Despite Shoemaker’s win, Allen took second to Cowley Community College.

“Cowley put it to us,” DeGrado said. “We looked flat and that is on me partially with the training (cycle), but they have got to step up. If you’re going to have a bad day, make it the best bad day of the season.”

Freshman Abby Steinhauser finished seventh in the event with a 19:20.9.

Vicky Ibarra — 20:09.7 — was 25th. Kristina Silvers — 20:20.1 — was 28th. Hannah Johnson — 20:40.5 — was 42nd. Gemma Gonzalez — 20:59.9 — was 54th.

Kim Rodriguez — 21:04.9 — was 59th. Jessica Reese — 21:12.1 — was 65th. Maria Puente — 21:56.6 — was 91st. Ciera Bennett — 22:13.1 — was 103rd. Jaelyn Casanova — 23:45.7 — was 123rd.

Kansas Supreme Court asked to order boost in aid for schools

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Four local school districts are asking the Kansas Supreme Court to order the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more per year on public schools, in a legal dispute that is shaping state politics and threatening Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax-cutting legacy.

The justices plan to hear arguments Wednesday from attorneys on whether the Legislature is fulfilling a duty under the state constitution to finance a suitable education for every child.

The districts’ attorneys argue that Kansas could afford to boost its aid if lawmakers reversed big income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging as an economic stimulus.

Previous high court rulings against the state have been strongly criticized by conservative GOP legislators and have helped fuel an effort to oust four of the seven justices in November. The high court’s decision on school funding isn’t expected until after the election.

What to know about school funding in Kansas: ONGOING LAWSUITS The case before the state’s highest court was filed in 2010 by the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, districts.

The justices focused previously on ensuring that the state distributes its nearly $4.1 billion a year in aid to its 286 school districts fairly, so that poor schools don’t lag too far behind

wealthier ones. Changes made by legislators in June satisfied the high court on “equity” issues, so it is now considering whether the state spends enough money overall.

Kansas has been in and out of lawsuits over education funding for decades. Many educators argue that the state’s spending remains far short of what’s necessary to ensure that all children get a suitable education.

Also, many educators were frustrated that Brownback and his legislative allies opted for big personal income tax cuts instead of extra school spending, only to see budget problems follow the tax reductions.

POTENTIAL PRICETAGS State officials and attorneys have multiple estimates for the increases required to meet a ruling against the state. They start at $430 million a year, a boost of more than 10 percent.

The State Board of Education recently proposed phasing in an $893 million increase over two years. And John Robb, an attorney for the districts suing the state, said the potential increase could be as high as $1.4 billion a year.

BACKLASH AGAINST THE COURT The state’s attorneys argued in a court filing last month that school funding issues are political questions left to the Legislature, absent arbitrary or irrational decisions.

And Republican legislative leaders have ar-

gued for years that the court does not have the authority to tell lawmakers how much money to spend on public schools.

Past rulings against the state — requiring more spending — are among the reasons GOP conservatives are trying to oust four of the seven justices this year.

Justices are appointed by the governor, but every six years they face a statewide yes-or-no vote on whether they should remain on the bench. Voters will decide this year whether to keep Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Justices Dan Biles, Carol Beier, Marla Luckert and Caleb Stegall.

Stegall is Brownback’s only appointee and not a target. Nuss and Luckert were appointed by moderate GOP Gov. Bill Graves. Biles and Beier were named to the court by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who also appointed the court’s other two members.

REACTION TO BROWNBACK Brownback’s fiscal policies and concerns about schools also have spurred a backlash this year against his legislative allies. Fourteen GOP conservatives lost their legislative seats in the August primary, and Democrats are looking to cut into Republican supermajorities in November.

If Democrats gain enough seats, they and moderate Republicans could have working majorities in both chambers as lawmakers determine how to respond to a Supreme Court order.

The unemployment rate dropped during the first part of this year until it hit 3.7 percent in May, and it’s been inching back up since.

The department said that the state had 8,300 fewer people employed

in nonfarm jobs in August than in August 2015, a decrease of 0.6 percent. About 4,200 of the jobs lost over the year were in the private sector.

Construction employment in August was 7.7 percent lower in August 2015, with companies shedding 4,700 jobs.

Earthquakes felt again in OK, KS PAWNEE, Okla. (AP) — More than a dozen small earthquakes have been recorded in northern Oklahoma and one in south-central Kansas.

No injuries or damage are reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded 13 quakes Oklahoma between 6:55 p.m. Friday and 2:21 a.m. Saturday,

including a magnitude 3.5 temblor near Fairview and a 3.2 magnitude quake near Cherokee, both about 100 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

The other Oklahoma quakes range in magnitude from 1.2 to 2.9 and were near Medford and near Pawnee — the site of a magnitude 5.8 earth-

quake on Sept. 3.

The Kansas quake was magnitude 2.9 and recorded at 8:18 a.m. Saturday near Belle Plaine, about 27 miles north of the Oklahoma-Kansas state line.

Scientists have linked the quakes to the underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production.

Don’t fall into your sister’s trap at home Dear Carolyn: Our nephew, who we are very close with, wants to visit us for a few days with his girlfriend. They live together, but we told him they would have to sleep in separate rooms in our house because we have three daughters -- in middle and elementary school -- who are young and impressionable.

Now we are not sure if he will stay with us because he does not like the proposed sleeping arrangements. Did we make the right decision?

— Questioning Ourselves Questioning Ourselves: Apparently not, if you have doubts after so little pushback.

Doing what’s right is deceptively straightforward, though it does have three steps: Determine your principles; decide how far you’ll go to defend them given the possible consequences; then take your stands accordingly.

In this case it sounds as if you got to Step 1 and thought you were finished. Easy mistake.

The way to remedy it here -- and avoid repeating it with your kids on a life matter instead of a nephew on a weekend matter -- is to walk your-

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

self through the likely consequence chains to test your own beliefs.

As was your prerogative, you established a rule that no unmarrieds share beds in your house.

Again, you apparently assumed your nephew would cooperate, but he didn’t, as was his prerogative. Instead he handed you your first consequence: Your rule might cost you some guests.

Now imagine potential visits from other relatives -- say, one who is older and maybe more accustomed to having authority over you and not vice versa.

Can your widowed Aunt Ellie share a room with her steady companion?

What if your marriage crumbles on a hit from the blind side, and you find yourself five years from now unforeseeably in love with someone new.

Will this person ever stay over, where, and how will you explain it all?

When your collegiate daughter announces plans

to live off-campus in a rented home with five other students, some of them male, will you say no?

What if she then doesn’t back down -- will you pull tuition over it? What if you say yes because it’s a platonic arrangement, but then interhouse romance blooms. Will you make your daughter move out?

Will tuition be on the line then?

What about when your girls are your nephew’s age and financially independent. Will you make them do the same separate-rooms dance when they bring companions home? What if they say sorry, no deal, the visit’s off ?

Such speculation might seem ridiculous now, with these hypotheticals so distant and with your impulse to protect your kids feeling so immediate. But the best way to raise moral people isn’t to shelter them, it’s to teach them in age-appropriate ways to be thoughtful, decent and real-world-ready -- and the best way to do that isn’t to manage appearances, it’s to understand yourself thoroughly enough to be coherent in your message. And that starts now.

So if cohabitation is a hill you’re prepared to die

on, then hold the line with nephews and others with the confidence that you’ve chosen your course and its consequences.

If instead you just want to avoid this conversation with young children, then tell your nephew it’s not a “never” issue, it’s a “not yet.” He can still decline to visit but at least it’s the start of a bridge.

If adult autonomy is your true north -- meaning, if you ultimately will support your adult children’s choices, even when you disagree -- then lay that foundation now: Let the couple share a room and answer any questions from your kids accordingly. “I believe couples should be married before sharing a home, but your cousin is an adult so I can’t make that decision for him.”

These are just examples, of course; the only right approach for you as parents is the one that reflects what you ultimately want to teach. Look ahead, beyond the battles you want to win, all the way to the battles you can win and really need to win. Self-knowledge and foresight are what elevate you from Whac-A-Mole parents to teachers of coherent, core beliefs.

Tigers rout Jayhawks MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Every time Kansas seemed to have any momentum against Memphis, they gave the ball away.

Six times, as a matter of fact.

And the Tigers didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunities.

Memphis dominated the game defensively, grabbed an early lead and coasted to a 43-7 win over Kansas on Saturday, sending the Jayhawks to their 39th consecutive road loss.

“I’ve never been in a game where we even came close to having that many turnovers,” Kansas coach David Beaty said. “Man, that’s a bunch, and it continued to happen throughout the day.”

Riley Ferguson threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns and Jake Elliott kicked a trio of field goals — including a 50-yarder — as Memphis built an early lead and coasted to victory.

Ferguson completed 15 of 24 passes for Memphis (2-0), the bulk of his passing yards coming on an 84yard completion to Anthony Miller for the game’s first score. In addition to his 50-yarder, Elliott converted kicks of 41 and 42 yards. Memphis showed no ill-effects of a bye week after winning its opener 35-17 over Southeast Missouri State.

“We talked a lot about starting fast, and we’re really pleased with our guys’ preparation,” Memphis coach Mike Norvell said.

“I thought we started fast.

Defense did an incredible job. They were completely dominant.”

The Jayhawks, (1-2) struggled offensively throughout, although they managed 314 yards of total offense. Any momentum, though, was thwarted by the Jayhawks’ four fumbles and two interceptions in the game.

A key swing came when Memphis reached the Kansas 13 in the closing minutes of the half. A sack and a tackle for loss, plus a couple of penalties put Memphis near midfield.

Then Memphis muffed the punt attempt, giving Kansas the ball at the Tiger 38 trailing 26-7.

On the first Kansas play, Memphis defensive

tackle Jonathan Wilson intercepted the ball and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown and Memphis carried a 33-7 lead at the break.

“It shocked me big time,” the soft-spoken Wilson said of the play, adding he didn’t see any Jayhawks in front of him after he picked off the pass from Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart.

“I was thinking: ‘Don’t let me get caught.’”

The Jayhawks never came close to Wilson and never came close to threatening the Tigers in the second half after Memphis added Elliott’s 50-yard field goal and a fourth-quarter 8-yard scoring run by Tony Pollard.

Kansas’ only touchdown came on a thirdand-1 play when Khalil Herbert broke the first wave of Memphis defenders bunched at the line of scrimmage and went 66 yards for a second-quarter touchdown.

“That was good to see for our line, our guys up front, continuing to work and continuing to push,” Beaty said. “It was a shortyardage situation. He’s a fast kid, and it was good to see him get out.”

TAKEAWAYS The Jayhawks again struggled to open the game. Kansas, which let Ohio build a 22-0 start last week early in the second quarter, trailed Memphis 19-0.

ROAD UNKIND No current Jayhawk has won a game away from Lawrence. The last road win was 34-7 at Texas-El Paso on Sept. 12, 2009.

FINAL WORD “I still think that we actually have a pretty good football team, if we can just get out of our own way. We’ve just got a lot of things that we’re having to learn right now that we should already know.” — Kansas coach David Beaty UP NEXT The Jayhawks have a bye next week before returning to the road to face Texas Tech on Sept. 29. It will be the first Thursday game for the Jayhawks since a 59-7 loss to Kansas State on Oct. 14, 2010.

pool with Yates Center, Crest, Waverly and Marais des Cygnes Valley and rolled through their competition.

“I am very pleased with our play today,” Humboldt coach Terry Meadows said.

“I thought everyone played to their potential and battled for every point. We were finally able to play our game and not worry who was on the other side of the net, and that was big.”

They won all their pool-play games in straight sets and advanced as a top seed into the championship

bracket.

Against Waverly — who ended up second in the pool — Aricah McCall came up huge for the Cubs with nine kills. Sydney Houk added five kills in that match.

McCall added eight more kills to her resume against MdCV. Once in the top bracket, the Cubs rolled past Pittsburg-Colgan to set up a finals match-up with Olathe Metro. Olathe Metro was able top Humboldt, 25-17, 25-22, to win the tournament.

Annalise Whitcomb led the Cubs over Colgan with an incredibly wellrounded effort. She was the team’s leader in kills,

with Hopkins on a 27yard touchdown pass on the next play to make it 7-0.

“When your defense makes a big play or your special teams make a big play, on offense you need to take that momentum and finish with a touchdown,” Osweiler said.

“That’s exactly what took place in that moment.”

Watt continued to shine later in the first quarter when he took Smith down for his first sack this season, forcing the Chiefs to kick a field goal that made it 7-3.

Houston was leading by seven in the second quarter when

Spencer Ware fumbled, Kevin Johnson scooped it up for his first career recovery and returned it 52 yards. The Texans couldn’t get their offense going after that and settled for a field goal to make it 13-3.

John Simon forced the last fumble of the half on his strip-sack of Smith. It was recovered by Whitney Mercilus. But once again Houston failed to move the ball and Novak’s try for a 57-yard field goal fell short as time expired in the first half.

“We had way too many mistakes today,” coach Andy Reid said. “Too many penalties. Dropped balls. You name it. Turnovers, we had three turnovers. All these things led to points. That’s my

responsibility.”

Marcus Peters intercepted Osweiler at the goal line on Houston’s first possession and picked him off again late in the third quarter.

That led to a 43-yard field goal that cut the lead to 13-6.

A field goal by both teams after that left the Texans up 16-9.

BRING IT BACK Kansas City rookie Tyreek Hill had a 105yard kickoff return for a touchdown negated because of a holding penalty late in the fourth quarter.

UP NEXT Kansas City hosts the Jets next Sunday.

Crest finished its day at 1-3 with a win over Yates Center, but fell to Humboldt, MdCV and Waverly.

Yates Center finished with a 0-4 record but had several hard-fought matches including a first set win against MdCV in its final match of the tournament, 25-22, but they lost the second and third sets.

Marmaton Valley drew a tough bracket with Pittsburg-Colgan and Olathe Metro and lost against both of the bigger schools, but they were able to beat Altoona Midway and Pleasanton to finish the tournament at 2-2.

8th-grade Fillies win In basketball, it is called shooting the lights out.

Well, the Fillies must have done something similar at the Burlington Volleyball Tournament on Saturday.

Led by Brittain Folk’s seven kills and Hannah Gardner’s six assists, Iola beat Burlington 25-15, 2515, 25-18. Jenna Miller, Becca Sprague and Lauryn Holloway each added three kills.

In the Fillies next match against Chanute, the power throughout the city went out and the tournament was cancelled.

“It was unfortunate, because the girls were playing great,” Iola coach Terri Carlin said.

Wildcats roll past Owls for first win of the season MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Trying to decide which coach was more upset following Kansas State’s 63-7 rout of Florida Atlantic on Saturday proved far more difficult than figuring out which was the better team.

In one locker room was Charlie Partridge, who lambasted his Owls for nearly getting shut out.

They had four turnovers that led to 21 points on offense, and were largely inept on defense.

In the other locker room? Bill Snyder ripped his Wildcats for committing 13 penalties for 131 yards.

“We totally lacked the discipline to play this game,” Snyder said, giving no indication of joy after moving within six wins of reaching 200 for his career. “You might get away with it in a ballgame like this but if you do that in the conference we play in, you’re not going to be hanging your hat.”

Eliminate the penalties, though, and the Wildcats (1-1) were actually quite dominant.

Winston Dimel ran for four first-half touch-

downs, Jesse Ertz threw for another score and Dominique Heath returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown as Kansas State put up its most points since 2009.

“A lot of people questioned our offense,” Kansas State running back Dalvin Warmack said, reflecting on a 26-13 loss to Stanford in the season opener. “A lot of people challenged us to be better.”

The Wildcats responded by cruising to a 42-0 halftime lead, at one point scoring on back-to-back one-play drives set up by Florida Atlantic turnovers. And the Wildcats finished off the route by getting backup quarterbacks Alex Delton and Joe Hubener in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Greg Howell had a touchdown run earlier in the fourth quarter for the Owls.

“We wanted the shutout,” Kansas State linebacker Elijah Lee said with a smile.

Jason Driskel threw for 125 yards, but the Florida Atlantic quarterback also tossed two interceptions

and lost two fumbles deep in his own territory. Kansas State turned those into 21 points.

“I gave them 21 points in one half and you can’t beat a good team doing that — can’t even beat a bad team doing that,” Driskel said.

“That’s on me. My team and my coaches trust me with the ball every play.

I’m the only person who touches the ball every play and I let them all down.”

The Wildcats were playing their latest scheduled home opener since 1992, and also christening the most recent renovation to Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The $15 million project to enclose the lower bowl provided new space for the marching band and the visiting Owls (12) with plush new locker rooms.

They probably should have stayed in there at kickoff.

Kansas State marched 89 yards for a touchdown on its opening possession, then got the ball back and went 72 yards for another score. Two more touch-

down runs by Dimel off Florida Atlantic turnovers made it 28-0 by the time some fans finally reached their seats — and the Owls knew what hit them.

“Second drive of the game they had a lot of success running the ball,” Owls coach Charlie Partridge said. “We got some things fixed and adjusted and tweaked, guys were being more aggressive.”

Not that it helped a whole lot.

Dimel, the Wildcats’ big fullback, scored once on a draw, twice out of the wildcat formation, and

plunged in from the 3-yard line just before halftime to give Kansas State a 42-0 lead.

Meanwhile, the Owls could only manage 211 yards total offense, and the ineffective Driskel was benched early in the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach.

RED ZONE ALERT Kansas State was 8 for 8 in the red zone with eight touchdowns, continuing its perfect streak dating back nine games. The Wildcats, best in the Big 12 at scoring inside the 20 a year ago, have put points

on the board on 36 straight trips with 26 touchdowns.

THE TAKEAWAY The Wildcats cleaned up a lot of the issues that popped up in their loss to Stanford, and get another chance to clean up the penalties against Missouri State next weekend.

Things get tougher after that with a visit to West Virginia to open the Big 12 schedule.

UP NEXT The Wildcats wrap nonconference play against the Bears on Saturday night.
