Nearly 70 percent of Kansas lawmakers – or their spouses – own a business or property that allows them to benefit from a controversial tax exemption

enabling business owners to pay no state tax on business income. Gov. Sam Brownback and his wife, Mary, also stand to benefit from the law, which was passed in 2012 at the governor’s urging. The law exempts the owners of limited liability companies, S-corporations, limited part-

nerships, family farms and sole proprietorships from paying state income tax on their nonwage business income. The law also extends to other sources of pass-through income, such as rents, royalties and trusts. More than 330,000 people took advantage of the law in tax

He was tall and skinny: 5 feet 11 inches and only 146 pounds. In high school, he played baseball and basketball and was on the track team; he also joined the school’s glee club because he loved music. He managed to get through two years of study at Whitewater High School, then quit. “He was never one to get excited about school,” Mark Wagoner said. Lewis had a father who sometimes made his mischievous boys choose their own willow switches to get swatted with. And he had brothers who went with him to commit acts of mischief that earned them the stripes of those willow sticks. On several Halloween nights, Mark Wagoner told everyone, Lewis and his brothers had a habit of visiting the home of a nearby farmer. They’d move the farmer’s outhouse backward just a few feet. When the farmer got up in the night to use the outhouse, he fell into the outhouse hole.

County commission candidates weigh in on illegal immigrants, WIC BY DANIEL SALAZAR

dsalazar@wichitaeagle.com

It’s been one full year since the Sedgwick County Commission first asked Kansas to try to block illegal immigrants from participating in a federal nutrition program. But the state still hasn’t responded to the request to change the guidelines for the Women, Infants and Children program, which provides checks for nutritional food to lowincome mothers and pregnant women.

“Their refusal to even respond demonstrates a complete lack of respect for the taxpayers of the state,” said Sedgwick County Commissioner Richard Ranzau. “My frustration at this point is not about whether they say yes or no.” A Kansas Department of Health and Environment spokesperson did not return a request for comment on Friday. Ranzau started the push last October when the county was accepting its yearly grant to run the program. Ranzau sent a

letter to KDHE Secretary Susan Mosier on Oct. 8 of last year. A follow-up letter by Commissioner Dave Unruh, who opposes the restriction, argued it was just a consensus of commissioners. The county asked again in July after the state said the county needed to pass an official resolution. “Obviously, that was just another excuse,” Ranzau said. “They don’t want to be held accountable for their position.” “It seems like they’re unaccountable to the taxpayer. Bureaucrats don’t

have to respond; ‘to hell with the citizens of Kansas,’ ” Ranzau said. “That’s the sort of arrogant attitude I feel like they’re portraying.” Ranzau also has proposed a form or questionnaire asking visitors to the health department their citizenship or immigration status. That effort has also stalled, among concerns that asking some program recipients would violate federal law. “I’d like to know to what degree the taxpayers are subsidizing illegal immigration,” Ranzau

said. “I personally don’t know, but I have had enough people complain to me about it that I think it’s worth asking the question.” The WIC debate was

quieter this year: County commissioners approved accepting a $2.2 million grant after a short discussion. Ranzau and Commissioner Karl Peterjohn raised concerns about the grant size and voted no. Here’s what the four people running for the Sedgwick County Commission in 2017 think about the debate: DISTRICT 2: MICHAEL O’DONNELL O’Donnell, the Kansas state senator and former Wichita City Council member running for the County Commission, says the county did the right thing by asking the state to look at eligibility requirements.

‘Vote for Nixon,’ says disgusted war hero BY ROY WENZL

rwenzl@wichitaeagle.com

William D. Paschal is a 91-year-old war hero with advanced prostate cancer who has struggled to decide whom to vote for in what might be his last presidential election. He got so disgusted with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump several weeks ago that he printed a sign on his home computer, “Vote for Nixon,” and taped it to the inside of the back window of his car. Disgraced and dead former President Richard Nixon would be better for Americans than the two living candidates, he reasoned. “How can you vote for one of the worst two people in the U.S.A.?” he said. “At least Nixon was com-

petent while in office.” Nixon being dead since 1994, Paschal agonized for months – and decided whom to vote for. And we will tell you who that person is. And, yes, it is usually not news when one U.S. voter makes a decision. Millions of us vote. But many voters in this unusual presidential campaign have agonized – as Paschal has – over the flaws of the two main candidates for president. So Paschal’s agonized journey toward a decision is worth examining, for two reasons. One is that he’s voted in more presidential elections than most living Americans: 17 so far, including Harry Truman’s first run for president in 1948.

Rowena Irani was loved. Facebook messages make that clear. Over the past several days, people have described the 22year-old Wichita woman as “amazing,” “great friend,” “so supportive and positive,” “sweet,” “vibrant.” She was a psychology major and student involvement ambassador at Wichita State University and worked with children in need at Wichita Children’s Home. This past week, she became a homicide victim. “Our hearts are broken,” one person wrote on Facebook. “Her life was stolen,” said her sister-in-law, Afshan Irani-Khan. She and her husband, Rooshad Irani, spoke about their sister at the family home Friday night, a home now deep in mourning. Rowena was born in Karachi, Pakistan, lived in Wichita since she was about 10, became a U.S. citizen and graduated

WIC “I think, as a general rule, that we should not give taxpayer benefits to people that are in America illegally,” O’Donnell said. “We have to take care of our citizens who are struggling before we take care of people here illegally.” O’Donnell said he also was in favor of asking about citizenship for health department clients. “To me, that’s a valid question to find out,” O’Donnell said. “Currently we have no clue. So people are going off of emotion rather than actual evidence.” He said he would not speculate if that would discourage some people from using health department services. “This isn’t any type of position to demean or hurt somebody,” O’Donnell said. “But there are ways to do that that are humane without being demeaning. “I do think that taxpayers want people that are going to protect public dollars.”

DISTRICT 2: TIM NORTON Norton, the incumbent commissioner being challenged by O’Donnell, voted against Ranzau’s proposals every time they’ve come before the County Commission. “I tend to default, myself, toward taking care of people,” Norton said. Norton said he did not want to read too much into the state’s sluggishness in responding to the county. He said the county shouldn’t do anything to put federal dollars at risk by asking about citizenship status, which is illegal because it’s not currently tied to eligibility for some health department services like WIC. Norton said the issue has largely faded away for him since it was never his initiative. “It’s blown up to be a bigger issue,” Norton said about the debate last year. DISTRICT 3: DAVID DENNIS Retired Air Force Colonel David Dennis, who

defeated Peterjohn by double digits in the Aug. 2 Republican primary, said the county was wading into a federal issue. “The federal government has decided who’s qualified for that,” Dennis said. “Unless there are changes made at the federal level, I don’t understand why we would be worrying about it at the local level.” Dennis said a questionnaire would discourage some people from seeking to access WIC or other health department services. “All that’s going to do is drive people away that may need that service,” Dennis said. “I’m very strongly pro-life, and that means all lives. It doesn’t matter if they’re documented or undocumented.”

“If this helps preserve the life of a young mother or preserves the life of a young infant, I think that’s part of being pro-life.” DISTRICT 3: MARCEY GREGORY Goddard Mayor Marcey Gregory, who will face Dennis in the Nov. 8 general election, doubts the state would want to approach the feds about restricting eligibility. “If they’re smart, they won’t touch it,” Gregory said about the state considering the county’s request. Gregory also opposes a questionnaire about citizenship at the health de-

partment, pointing to her religious convictions by asking what Jesus would do. “The answer is ‘Never let a baby go hungry,’” Gregory said. “I would never promote somebody doing something illegally or benefiting from a program doing things illegally.” “But little children and babies don’t know that they’re doing anything wrong,” she said. “I don’t want them to be penalized.”

VOTE Another is that Paschal has done more than most Americans to protect our freedoms. He fought in front-line infantry combat in World War II. He won the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. His best soldier friend in the war was killed by a German sniper. Paschal was shot at many times, wounded, captured, beaten in captivity – and then starved nearly to death in a German prisoner of war camp. His heroism is well known in Wichita: As recently as 2014, on the 70th year since D-Day, Paschal served as the co-grand marshal of Wichita’s Veterans Day parade. But even in war, Paschal said, he seldom felt the disgust he feels in voting this year, in what will be his 18th presidential vote. “I haven’t trusted Hillary since the attack on the embassy in Benghazi,” he said. “And if Trump becomes president, we’ll likely get into a war with Russia within a few months.” A third reason to examine what went into Paschal’s choice is why he says this decision took many months and a lot of thought: He votes for whom he considers to be the best candidate. After he put that “Vote for Nixon” sign in his car, some people yelled at the nice woman hired to drive him and his wife, Marjorie, in their car. So the sign had to disappear. “Apparently some people didn’t see the humor. If anyone wants more of these Nixon signs, though, I made more.” Since 1948, Bill Paschal has voted for “the best

person as I saw it.” These were his choices in those 17 elections, and how he made them. Democrats: Truman (1948), “a gem of a president”; John F. Kennedy (1960), “a war hero”; Lyndon Johnson (1964), “an experienced president”; and Barack Obama (2012), “a good president in his first term.” Republicans: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1952 and 1956), “and I would have voted for him many times more”; Nixon (1968 and 1972), “a competent president until nearly impeached”; Gerald Ford (1976), “an experienced politician”; Ronald Reagan (1980 and 1984), “a very good president”; George H.W. Bush (1988 and 1992), “a good man”; Bob Dole (1996), “an experienced politician”; George W. Bush (2000 and 2004), “I guess he did all right”; and John

McCain (2008), “another war hero.” He never thought, in those 17 votes, that he had to hold his nose when he voted. But he will hold his nose this year. Trump disgusted him when he said former Vietnam prisoner of war and U.S. Sen. John McCain was not a real hero. Then Trump belittled Muslim parents whose U.S. Army son was killed in the Iraq War. Clinton unsettles him deeply. “You have to know that when the Clintons set up a foundation and some people give millions of dollars to it – they all want favors.” But he will hold his nose and vote for Clinton, he said. Some of his friends won’t like that. “But there’s always Nixon next time.” Roy Wenzl: 316-268-6219, @roywenzl

Schools: ‘Virtual kidnapping’ scam targets parents The Associated Press

Schools across the United States are warning about a scam to convince parents that their children have been kidnapped — even though they haven’t — and to collect ransom money. Cases of “virtual kidnapping” have been reported over the past two months in Virginia, California, Texas, Arizona and other states. Authorities say the scam often targets the parents of college students, tricking some into paying thousands of dollars, and appears to be on the rise nationally. In many cases, parents receive a call from a stranger who claims to have kidnapped their child, and can often provide the child’s name or other details. Some parents have reported hearing screams or a muffled cry in the background. Then the caller orders parents to wire money in exchange for their child’s release. “They really prey on people’s fears, and in this case it’s a very intense fear, thinking that your child’s been kidnapped,” said Jay Gruber, police chief at Georgetown University, where a parent reported the scam on Thursday. In that case, the parent used social media to contact the child and didn’t pay the ransom. Usually, the ransom demand is between $600 and $1,900, according to the FBI’s New York field office, which issued a warning about the scam in January 2015. Gruber said

the scheme emerged in the United States more than a year ago but has become more common recently. Thirkel Freeman was driving with his wife, Coretta, last week when a man called Coretta’s cellphone and said he had kidnapped their daughter, Kiauna, a senior at the University of Maryland. The caller even put a woman on the phone who claimed to be Kiauna and had a similar voice, pleading them to pay the ransom. The man threatened to kill Kiauna if they didn’t. “He says, ‘If you play games with me, it’s over,’ ” said Thirkel, of White Plains, Md. “At that point, we were at the peak of traumatization.” Coretta called the police, who arrived and guided the couple through the call. But the Freemans ultimately wired $1,300 to the caller before finding out Kiauna was safe on campus. Several colleges have issued alerts about the scam, including Georgetown, Arizona State University, George Mason University and the University of Texas at Arlington. The calls often come from outside area codes, sometimes from Puerto Rico, according to the FBI. If someone calls demanding a ransom, authorities say parents should try to text their child or reach them through social media to confirm their child’s safety. Or they can ask the alleged kidnapper to have their child call back from his or her own phone.

Washington state voters to decide on carbon tax The Associated Press SEATTLE

Washington state lawmakers have tried and failed in recent years to make polluters pay for their carbon emissions to fight climate change. Now, voters will get to decide. An initiative on the November ballot asks voters whether the state should impose the nation’s first direct carbon tax on the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline. Sponsors say residents have a moral responsibility to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and a carbon tax is the best way to do it. The tax encourages businesses to conserve or switch to clean energy by making fossil fuels more expensive, and it makes the tax system fairer by using the revenues to reduce other taxes, they say. Businesses say the tax will drive up fuel and ener-

gy costs. And in a move that has bewildered some, major environmental and other groups — including those that backed Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposal last year to cap emissions and make carbon polluters pay — oppose the initiative. They say it takes the wrong approach. Yoram Bauman, an economist who founded Carbon Washington, the group that gathered more than 350,000 signatures to qualify Initiative 732, defended it as great climate and tax policy. Audubon Washington supports it. “Our members came down on the side of urgency. We don’t have time to wait,” said Gail Gatton, the group’s executive director. But the Sierra Club, Washington Environmental Council and the advocacy group Front and Centered say the initiative is the wrong carbon-pric-

ing approach and will hurt the state’s revenues. If approved, Washington’s carbon tax starts at $15 a ton of carbon emissions in July, goes up to $25 the next year and incrementally increases afterward. Initiative sponsors say a $25 carbon tax would raise the price of gasoline by about 25 cents per gallon and the price of coal-fired electricity by about 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Cessna Longitude first flight marks milestones BY JERRY SIEBENMARK

jsiebenmark@wichitaeagle.com

Textron Aviation on Saturday flew for the first time its biggest Citation business jet yet. The Wichita-based owner of Cessna Aircraft said experimental test pilots Ed Wenninger and Stuart Rogerson piloted the Citation Longitude on a twohour, two-minute flight midafternoon Saturday from Beech Field at Textron Aviation East Campus. “Today’s successful first flight of the Citation Longitude was performed exactly as we anticipated,”

Textron Aviation CEO Scott Ernest said in a news release Saturday evening. The super-midsize jet is Cessna’s biggest Citation in that product line’s 44year history. It also is the first clean sheet design aircraft to be completed since the integration of Cessna and Beechcraft beginning in 2014. The airplane also holds the distinction of being the first Cessna to be manufactured at the Beechcraft plant, which is the east campus on East Central between Webb and Greenwich. “I was extremely pleased with the performance of the Longitude

during the first flight,” Rogerson, a senior flight test pilot, said in the release. “We accomplished everything we wanted to do during this maiden flight, setting the pace for the flight test program.” The $23.9 million Longitude has seating for up to 12 passengers; a standup, flat-floor cabin; and a walk-in baggage compartment that’s accessible in flight. It will have a maximum cruise speed of 548 mph and a range of 3,400 nautical miles, the most of any Citation jet. The first Longitude is expected to be delivered next year.

Carl Wagoner is presented with the flag that was draped over the casket of his brother, Seaman 2nd Class Lewis Wagoner, during his burial in Whitewater on Saturday.

FUNERAL But one Halloween night, the farmer moved the outhouse forward a few feet. When the Wagoner boys showed up to move it themselves, they fell into the hole. “And they were not happy about that,” Mark Wagoner said. “They probably got a whuppin’ later from their dad, too.”

‘‘

I’VE NEVER FELT MORE HUMBLED. Mark Wagoner, nephew of Pearl Harbor sailor Around Wagoner, as he spoke at the funeral service, were family, friends and Navy sailors giving his uncle full military honors. Outside the funeral home, dozens of American flags flew in a pleasant breeze, with dozens of American Legion Riders standing alongside each flag. “I’ve never felt more humbled,” Mark Wagoner said later Saturday. “Seeing all these people makes me feel even more patriotic. “It’s been an emotional time,” he said. “And well worth it.” Lewis Wagoner joined the Navy in 1941 when he was 20 and still too young to vote. He was assigned to serve on the USS Oklahoma, one of the Navy’s bigger and more fearsome battleships. Soon after he boarded her on the West Coast, the Oklahoma sailed toward Hawaii as war with Japan began to

look more likely. “He knew the world was on the verge of war,” Capt. Dan McCully of the U.S. Navy Reserve told Wagoner’s friends and relatives at the funeral service. He spoke of the family: “We can make a small remedy to relieve them of some of their grief: We can bring him home.” The Japanese sneak attack on Dec. 7, 1941, targeted the battleships lined up in a double row. Japanese commanders hoped their bombers and torpedo planes, launched from aircraft carriers, would cripple the U.S. Navy so badly that the U.S. could never defeat Japan. Their plan did not work; the U.S. won the war four years later. But what happened to Wagoner and his fellow sailors that day was horrific. Nine Japanese torpedoes hit the Oklahoma.

battleship, trapping inside hundreds of men who’d not had time to climb out on deck. Many of the trapped men drowned quickly, but air pockets remained in the upside-down hull. Survivors, trapped in the dark inside, spent many days banging on the hull to let rescuers know they were alive. Rescuers got some of them out by cutting holes through the thick steel hull, but 429 sailors died on the Oklahoma. It took the Navy two years to raise the Oklahoma; they removed what bones they could find. Most of the dead could

not be identified. What human remains were found by the salvage crews were coated with fuel oil. The U.S. military was able to identify a few of the dead, but most of the deceased were buried as “unknowns” in Hawaii. Recovery teams from the U.S. military dug up graves in Oahu in recent years, tested teeth and bones for family mitochondrial DNA – and called the Wagoner family. Wagoner’s remains were found in one casket with the remains from 100 other sailors, Mark Wagoner said. In the cemetery just west of Whitewater on Saturday, his family buried Lewis Wagoner nearly 75 years after his death. Flags flew. Navy sailors fired a 21-gun salute. An American Legion member played taps. And Mark Wagoner took a deep breath. “I believe he is here with us now. And that he is very, very happy.”

said. Since 2007, a pug named Max has been her dog. Max followed Rowena around the house and slept against her leg. In her junior year at WSU, Rowena’s life was busy. She worked at the Wichita Children’s Home, helping girls with serious needs. In a statement Friday, Wichita Children’s Home CEO Debbie Kennedy said of Rowena’s death: “This has reinforced how very much Rowena was loved by her co-workers and by the youth she cared for. … In her warm and gentle way, Rowena helped them feel this was their home. Rowena didn’t just say ‘do your homework,’ she would lead the way and study alongside them. … One of our teens told me today that she has recommitted herself to graduating high school, because she wants to live up to the promise she made Rowena.” Her brother remembers the little things about his sister. She was a picky eater, and two of her favorites were chicken and rice at Chipotle and mango tea at Quik Trip. He and his sister would go to QT for mango tea and head out for a drive. “That was our time together,” he said. At WSU, Rowena served as one of the student involvement ambassadors, helping students to connect and enjoy themselves through activities. She welcomed students back

to school this fall. Kelsey Wulfkuhle, a 19-year-old junior studying psychology, met Rowena at a student ambassador retreat last spring. “I was like, wow, she’s a really cool person. I really appreciate her.” Rowena was a good listener. “She really cared about the person she was talking too.” Wulfkuhle could vent her frustrations to Rowena. “And she would always find a way to make me feel better. “She would always remind me that there are some things worse in the world than getting a C on a test.” Chas Thompson, WSU’s coordinator of student organizations, said Rowena was a natural ambassador. “I don’t think I can picture her without a smile. … She had a very wide reach on campus.” Another role she had: working with students with disabilities. Even as an undergraduate, she was working on research projects. One of her main interests was trauma psychology. Rowena’s sister-in-law said she had definite plans and dreams: go on to graduate school, get a beachfront house and have two children. “She loved the ocean,” her brother said. “Loved the sand, loved the peacefulness of it.” Tim Potter: 316-268-6684, @timpotter59

New details on man charged in Irani’s death Dane Thomas Owens, the ex-boyfriend charged with murder in the shooting death of Wichita State University student Rowena Irani, is listed as a sophomore social work student at Kansas State University, an official said Friday. In an affidavit Owens filled out this past week in seeking a public defender, he listed an Andover address. But according to university records, he lives in Manhattan. On the document, Owens, 27, said he was employed as “KSU staff.” He is a student worker at the veterans center on the Manhattan campus, said K-State spokeswoman Cindy Hollingsworth. Owens listed “VA Disability” as income or assistance that he has received. He is being held on a $500,000 bond on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary in Irani’s death. Police said say that Irani was found unconscious with a gunshot wound to her head at a north Wichita house. She died later in a hospital. .................................................................................................................

Two police officers slain in California The Associated Press PALM SPRINGS, CALIF.

Two police officers trying to resolve a family dispute were shot to death Saturday when a man they had been speaking calmly with suddenly pulled out a gun and opened fire on them, the city’s police chief told reporters. A third officer was wounded. The shooter was not immediately apprehended. “It was a simple family disturbance, and he elected to open fire on the

guardians of the city,” Chief Bryan Reyes, his voice breaking, told reporters. The chief, near tears, identified the slain officers as Jose Gilbert Vega and Lesley Zerebny. He did not disclose their ranks or other information, and did not reveal the wounded officer’s name. Although he didn’t identify the shooting suspect, he indicated police had had previous dealings with him. Dozens of law enforcement officers converged on the residential neigh-

borhood in this high desert resort city after the shooting. They sealed off several blocks and evacuated some residents. Police Sgt. William Hutchinson said officers were warning people already inside their homes to stay there, lock their doors and not answer them until further notice. The shooting occurred just three days after a Los Angeles County sheriff’s sergeant was shot and killed in the high desert town of Lancaster. Sgt. Steve Owen was answering a burglary call when sheriff’s officials say he was shot and wounded by a man who then stood over him and shot him four more times. A paroled robber has been charged with murder. Lancaster residents were organizing a candlelight memorial for Owen on Saturday night.

TAXES forms. Brownback would not discuss his family’s taxes when asked at the Capitol last month. His spokeswoman Eileen Hawley provided a response by email, which did not address the question, and instead touted reductions to individual tax rates that were also part of the 2012 tax change. “Every Kansan who pays income taxes has benefited from the Governor’s tax policy,” she said. Brownback said in 2012 that the policy would act as a “shot of adrenaline” for Kansas economy, spurring job growth because business owners would reinvest their savings into their companies. Kansas has gained about 29,000 total nonfarm jobs since the policy went into effect in 2013. That coincided with job gains nationwide. However, the state has actually lost jobs in the past year. Kansas lost 8,300 total nonfarm jobs between August 2015 and August 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the state ranks 46th among all states in private sector job growth, according to an analysis by Arizona State University.

FREE CASH DOES NOT EQUAL EMPLOYMENT. THE ONLY TIME I HIRE PEOPLE IS IF I’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR THEM TO DO AND EVERY BUSINESSMAN WOULD TELL YOU THAT. Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita The tax exemption has come under increasing scrutiny as the state has struggled with budget shortfalls in recent years, including the $60 million budget gap it faces for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. Since the tax cuts went into effect, the state has cut its budget multiple times and increased the sales tax in 2015. Attempts in the Legislature to roll back the exemption fell short of passage the past two years after the governor promised to veto the bills. Some lawmakers are questioning whether the tax break could lead to job creation. Based on lawmakers’ comments, another attempt to roll back the exemption appears likely in the coming session, which begins in January. DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS STAND TO BENEFIT Several readers submitted questions to Curious Wichita, asking The Eagle how many lawmakers have businesses that would benefit from the exemption. The questions were submitted after the Legislature decided not to repeal the exemption earlier this year. To answer the question, The Eagle reviewed the statements of substantial interest for all 165 lawmakers, another 50 legislative candidates and all six state executive officers. The Eagle also checked the Secretary of State’s business database and conducted numerous interviews with lawmakers

to determine how businesses were organized and whether they qualified for the exemption. The actual tax returns are not public. Five of the 40 members of the Kansas Senate had no ownership interest in an LLC or other business entity that might benefit from the tax law, according to an Eagle analysis of substantial interest forms. The other 35 members – or their spouses – owned at least one business or property covered by the 2012 law change. In the House, 79 of the 125 current state representatives have holdings that would potentially benefit from the law. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers stand to benefit, and their holdings range from law practices and consulting firms to western stores and guided pheasant hunts. House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, initially denied that his management company was covered by the law when greeted at the Capitol last month. “I’ve paid more taxes since that thing’s gone into effect than I ever paid…because I’m not the right kind of company I guess,” Merrick said. However, his chief of staff, Christie Krieghauser, later confirmed in a text message that Merrick’s company, MJM Management, is an Scorporation, which is covered by the tax change. The speaker’s initial response was likely colored by the fact that the law change eliminated the ability for business owners to deduct business losses. If business owners aren’t required to pay tax on the income, they can’t deduct the losses, a change that costs some business owners more money than the exemption saves. Merrick said he saw no problem with the fact that many lawmakers owned businesses covered by the tax change. “One of the complaints that I hear all the time is (about) all the professional politicians,” he said. “Thank God, there’s business people in the Legislature. I don’t see anything wrong with that.” Krieghauser added in an e-mail that lawmakers “give up huge portions of their earning potential to serve each year in Topeka. It’s only fair to mention that the guys are sacrificing to serve and not getting rich off the system.” She said that lawmakers are impacted by a tax change, such as the recent sales tax increase, just like other residents. Hawley said it is a benefit for the state to have business owners involved in decisions about tax policy as members of the Legislature. “They understand the real implications of tax policy for their fellow citizens and we welcome their expertise as business people and policy makers,” she said. “Just as educators influence education policy and medical professionals influence medical policy, business owners should be engaged in tax policy.”

said Steve Kimball, a 72year-old retired teacher from Belle Plaine. “That raises an eyebrow.” Linda Murphy, a 69year-old Wichita retiree who also asked about the tax policy, said that her income taxes have increased since 2012 because the state reduced and eliminated deductions. “I’ve never known a governor or a Legislature who have set out on purpose to ruin my state before this one,” she added. Steve Stotts, director of taxation at the Kansas Department of Revenue, said it’s a common misconception that beneficiaries of the passthrough exemption pay no income tax at all. He said that people using the exemption still have to pay income tax on capital gains and in many cases on a salary, depending on how their business is structured. He said the 330,000 tax filers, who saved more than $200 million from the exemption, still paid about $800 million in state income taxes in 2014 on the rest of their income. Rep. Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park, the House Tax chairman, said he thinks lawmakers’ votes were based more on ideology than personal self interest. Kleeb owns several LLCs and S-corporations, but this past year voted in favor of a bill to roll back the exemption. CRITICS ALSO BENEFIT Some of the policy’s biggest critics are also its beneficiaries. Rep. Mark Hutton, RWichita, whose business holdings include a construction company, real estate holdings and a range of other ventures, led unsuccessful efforts to roll back the policy in 2015 and 2016. Hutton, who is retiring from the Legislature, said that his business experience has informed his opposition. “Free cash does not equal employment,” Hutton said. “The only time I hire people is if I’ve got

something for them to do and every businessman would tell you that.… Demand for a service is what drives employment.” Rep. Tom Sawyer, DWichita, the ranking Democrat on the House Tax committee, who owns an internet sales business covered by the exemption, said that data shows that “very few businesses would get enough of a tax break to even hire somebody.” He called the notion that the tax break would create jobs “a ridiculous premise.” An analysis of Department of Revenue data showed last year that more than half of the business owners using the exemption made less than $25,000 and only saved an average of $158 as a result of the tax break. However, the less than 1 percent of business owners making more than $500,000 accounted for 40 percent of exemption’s total cost with an average tax savings of about $38,000. Sen. Les Donovan, RWichita, the Senate Tax chairman, who owns an automobile dealership in Wichita, said he’s created jobs with the money he’s saved from the tax exemption, which he estimates was more than $100,000 over three years. Since the exemption went into effect, Donovan has installed a carwash machine at the dealership, had his front lot resurfaced and remodeled his body shop. “Built bathrooms that are good for human usage – not just body shop men,” Donovan joked. The cost of all these upgrades is more than triple the money Donovan has saved from the exemption, but he still credits the tax savings as the cause for the improvements. “I call it the trigger that finally got me to take the steps and do this…and in the process we have created a whole lot of jobs,” Donovan said, referring to the workers who did the construction work. Despite his support for

the overall policy, Donovan crafted a bill that would’ve required business owners to pay taxes on earnings above their first $100,000. Donovan said that he never introduced the bill because Brownback told him in a private meeting that he opposed it. Donovan said he didn’t want to waste the Legislature’s time.

‘‘

JUST AS EDUCATORS INFLUENCE EDUCATION POLICY AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS INFLUENCE MEDICAL POLICY, BUSINESS OWNERS SHOULD BE ENGAGED IN TAX POLICY. Eileen Hawley, governor’s spokeswoman Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, the Senate budget chairman and one of the staunchest defenders of the tax cuts, said in an e-mail that the tax savings enabled his development company, Springboard LLC, “to purchase goods and services from other businesses that contributed to the local economy.” BALANCING FACTORS In addition to lawmakers, the lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and insurance commissioner all have an ownership in a business entity covered by the law. Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s private law firm is an LLC, as is his wife’s photography business, Kobagraphy, which specializes in providing Republican candidates with campaign photos. Kobach staunchly supports the policy as a way to grow jobs, but said that

...............................................................................................................................................................................

What lawmakers, candidates and state officials say about the business tax exemption: A Rep.

Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park, House Tax chairman:

“Do companies make an investment decision based on their state income tax? Maybe. Maybe not.” A Rep.

Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita, incumbent in 100th House District:

“I’m pretty darn bullish on this. I think this may be the year (we repeal it) ... There’s a reckoning coming.” A Tim

Hodge, Democratic candidate in 72nd House District:

“I want to get rid of that badly. It’s not fair. You don’t raise sales tax to pay for business people’s income tax exemptions. That’s just not the right way to do things.” A Rep.

PERCEPTIONS The readers who submitted questions to The Eagle about the lawmakers’ business holdings, however, said it presents a troubling conflict of interest that the majority of lawmakers stand to potentially benefit from the law. “It certainly raises questions about whose interests they’re representing: their own personal interests or the public,”

Substantial interests reported to the state

Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, incumbent in 72nd House District:

“Individuals—not government—are in the best position to decide if their earnings should be saved, spent or given directly to the cause of their choice. Sending money to Topeka is not charitable.” A Former

Rep. Brenda Landwehr, Republican candidate in 105th House District:

“We have actually been able to hire (because of the exemption). We took an employee that was originally getting some welfare benefits and got them off of the welfare system.” A Senate

Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka:

“It’s inherently unfair ... And I think that is probably as important to vast majority of Kansans as anything else: Why am I paying taxes and they’re not?” ...............................................................................................................................................................................

the impact to his family’s businesses has been minimal and that neither is set up to expand. “In our case, the company wasn’t going to grow anyway because, you know, I’m not going to expand my law firm to start hiring a bunch of other attorneys,” Kobach said. “Some businesses are designed to stay small.” Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said that any time he travels the state he hears from small-business owners who say the exemption enabled them to buy equipment or hire an employee. “I just don’t walk away from any meeting without that happening, so I am convinced it has benefited small business,” Jordan said. However, the data is limited. The Department of Revenue does not track what business owners do with their tax savings, so there’s no way to know if beneficiaries hired new employees or pocketed the savings. Lawmakers have grown increasingly skeptical of the policy’s economic benefits and some say the tax changes have actually hurt their businesses. Rep. Adam Lusker, D-Frontenac, a contractor with an LLC, said that cuts to state spending, which he blames on the tax policy, have hurt his business. “We build a lot of public work and that public work has slowed down considerably because the state doesn’t have the ability to churn money like it once did…It’s hurting our business and I’m not alone. That’s statewide,” Lusker said. “Not only contractors, but that hurts the gas stations, the local hardware stores and everybody who trades down the line.” Sen. Rob Olson, ROlathe, who owns two LLCs, said that the inability to deduct business losses and an increased sales tax have hurt his businesses and discouraged investment statewide. He said he expects the Legislature to evaluate the policy again next session. “Someone that’s in business, normally what happens is they buy equipment, they buy more assets and now they’re actually paying more taxes,” Olson said. “…People are not investing and they’re not buying new equipment. They’re paying the minimal (income) tax, but they’re not doing as much investing.” Olson added that in the long-term “you’re probably not going to see as many jobs because of that.” Contributing: Kelsey Ryan of the Eagle Bryan Lowry: 785-296-3006, @BryanLowry3 What do you want Bryan Lowry to find out about state government – its budget, its programs or politicians.

Haitians bury loved ones killed by storm The Associated Press JEREMIE, HAITI

As the pale blue coffin came into view, the grieving women flung themselves to the floor near a morgue that overlooked the hurricane-ravaged city of Jeremie, near the epicenter of Haiti’s growing humanitarian crisis. They beat their fists and screamed, their distress growing more intense as attendants opened the door of the morgue Saturday to bring out the body of Roberto Laguerre, who was killed next to his 3-year-old daughter when Hurricane Matthew roared over this city in southwest Haiti as a Category 4 storm earlier this week. “Why did you leave us? Take me with you!” shouted relative Rita Honore. Roberto and his little girl, Roseberlande, are among the 470 people

who died in just one district in southwest Haiti devastated by Matthew as the country braces for a rise in cholera cases and grapples with what could become the worst crisis since a catastrophic 2010 earthquake. Jeremie is the main city of the department of Grand-Anse, on the northern tip of Haiti’s southwest peninsula, where authorities think the death toll and damage is highest. Fridnel Kedler, coordinator for the Civil Protection Agency in Grand-Anse, told The Associated Press that officials still haven’t been able to reach two communities within that department three days after the hurricane hit. “The death toll is sure to go up,” he said. Reports of deaths in those areas were slow to reach the Civil Protection Agency’s headquarters in Port-au-Prince, where

authorities said Saturday that the official death toll for the whole country so far was 336 people. It wasn’t clear whether some of the 470 deaths in Grand-Anse were included in that count. The agency also said that more than 60,000 people remained in shelters. Death tolls are frequently difficult to tabulate in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster in any country, though it is particularly difficult in remote and mountainous southwest Haiti. Government officials estimate that at least 350,000 people need assistance, and concern was growing over an increase in cholera cases following widespread flooding unleashed by Matthew. An ongoing cholera outbreak has already killed roughly 10,000 people since 2010.

NATION AND WORLD Syria resolutions by West and Russia defeated at U.N.

Trump comments worry Republican candidates BY LESLEY CLARK, WILLIAM DOUGLAS AND ANITA KUMAR

McClatchy Washington Bureau WASHINGTON

Rival resolutions on Syria backed by the West and Russia were defeated in the U.N. Security Council on Saturday, offering no relief to the besieged city of Aleppo and leaving the key powers even more divided over a course of action in the war-ravaged country. Russia vetoed a French-drafted resolution demanding an immediate halt to the bombing campaign that the Syrian government and Russia are carrying out against rebel-held districts in Aleppo. The rival Russian draft which made no mention of a bombing halt was rejected because it failed to get the minimum nine yes votes needed for approval by the 15-member council. The votes reflected the deep divisions in the U.N.’s most powerful body which is charged with ensuring international peace and security but has totally failed to take action to end the more than 5-year Syrian conflict which has killed over 300,000 people and displaced millions.

Donald Trump strived to save his candidacy on Saturday as a wave of Republicans began calling for him to step aside, fearful his bragging about sexual assaults will ruin not only his own campaign but poison those of other Republicans as well. Trump retreated to his tower in New York as several members of his own party urged him to step down as their presidential nominee, including at least nine members of the Senate, 11 members

of the House of Representatives, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Many others withdrew their endorsements. Almost none spoke up in his defense. Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, abruptly canceled an appearance in Wisconsin, where he was supposed to be the lastminute stand-in for Trump when Trump was disinvited by House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican. Trump worked to stop any speculation that he might withdraw. He called newspapers to insist he will remain, blamed the

“media and establishment” for wanting him out of the race, and tweeted that he’d never drop out. He added: “WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN!” Few Republicans believe that with votes already cast in some states, Trump could be replaced on the ticket at this late date. But they fretted that Trump may have finally gone too far and that the party’s embrace of him may have irreparably harmed its chances with voters, especially women. The focus began to switch Saturday to salvaging the Senate, even as Trump’s campaign sug-

gested it would seek to portray Trump as apologetic, releasing a statement from his wife, Melania, that called his remarks “unacceptable and offensive.” The two were married at the time of the tape. The pressure on Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri to more aggressively respond to Trump’s comments was growing Saturday. Kansas Republicans — Sen. Pat Roberts, Rep. Kevin Yoder and Gov.

Raids in Bangladesh kill 11 Islamic militants Eleven militants were killed Saturday in three raids on the outskirts of the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, law enforcement officials said, in the deadliest day of a monthslong crackdown on Islamist groups. The militants were affiliated with Jama’atul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, the group the government has blamed for an attack on a Dhaka restaurant in July, officials said. Bangladesh’s security agencies increased their crackdown on Islamist groups after the assault, in which 22 people, most of them foreigners, were killed. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack and several others, but the government insists the terrorist group does not have a presence in the country. Instead, officials have blamed a homegrown group that they call the New Jama’atul Mujahedeen Bangladesh. — EAGLE NEWS SERVICES

Hurricane’s blow to U.S. was weaker than feared The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C.

A fading Hurricane Matthew lashed Georgia and the Carolinas on Saturday in what appeared to be the last leg of its march up the East Coast, leaving in its wake millions of Americans relieved that one of the most fearsome storms on record in the United States wasn’t that bad after all. The hurricane was blamed for at least 10 deaths in the United States, including that of a Georgia man who was

killed when two trees fell on his home. In many places along the Southeast coast, the damage consisted mostly of flooded streets, blowndown signs and awnings, flattened trees and power outages. As the storm passed and the skies cleared, many people were already cleaning up, reopening their businesses or hitting the beach. The power started coming back on. And all three major theme parks in Orlando, Fla., were up and running. “We are all blessed that Matthew stayed off our

Rick Scott said. “We are blessed that we didn’t have a direct hit.” On Saturday, Matthew sideswiped two of the South’s most historic cities — Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C. — and also brought torrential rain and stiff wind to places like Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Wilmington, N.C. From there it was expected to veer out to sea, lose steam and loop back around toward the Bahamas and Florida, too feeble to cause any trouble. For nearly its entire run up the coast from Florida,

Matthew hung just far enough offshore that communities did not feel the full force of its winds. Its storm center, or eye, finally blew ashore just north of Charleston on Saturday, but only briefly.

While Matthew’s wind speed had dropped considerably by the time it hit the Southeast coast, the storm will still go down as one of the most potent hurricanes on record, based on such factors as wind energy and longevity, and one of the most long-lived major hurricanes, too. It was a major hurricane — that is, with winds of at least 110 mph — for 7.25 days. A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a man stranded on a sailboat in a river near Georgia’s Tybee Island. And North Carolina officials said they had to rescue numerous people from cars and homes. South Carolina’s golfand-tennis resort Hilton Head Island also took a blow as the eye of the storm passed 20 miles to the east. At least one gust of 87 mph was recorded at Hilton Head. The two roads onto the island of 40,000 people were blocked by fallen pine trees, and many roads were under water. All access points to Georgia’s St. Simons Island from the mainland were blocked. Tybee Island also took a beating, with gusts clocked at 93 mph. Three-quarters of a million people in South Carolina were left without electricity, and 250,000 were in the dark in coastal Georgia. About 1 million people in Florida lost power. Four deaths were blamed on the storm in Florida, three in Georgia and three in North Carolina.

That compares with Hurricane Katrina’s $40 billion and Superstorm Sandy’s $20 billion.

Tim Norton touts decades of service in fifth run

Michael O’Donnell wants to transcend political divide

. .................................................................................

t can be lonely as the only Democrat on the Sedgwick County Commission. Tim Norton keeps a yellow paperback book in his office at the courthouse titled “How Do You Lead When You’re Not in Charge?” He’s read it recently – the commission has had a conservative Republican majority for a year and a half. “I love being a public servant … I’ve got good ideas. I’ve got the energy and experience,” Norton said. “Just because I’m not the chairman or I’m not in the majority doesn’t mean that I don’t have leadership skills to get things done.” Norton will face Republican Sen. Michael O’Donnell in the Nov. 8 race in District 2, which includes parts of south and southwest Wichita, Haysville and Clearwater. It’s a critical race for the political tilt of the commission, which decides how much money to allocate to fund the jail, the county roads system, the health department, the tag office, the Sedgwick County Zoo, Exploration Place and other entities. Norton joined the commission in 2000. Earlier, he was the manager of Target East and a member of the Haysville City Council. He worked full time as Haysville’s mayor in the recovery effort after a 1999 tornado leveled parts of the town – an event he says changed his “whole life trajectory.” “People still remember that I was the guy on the spot,” Norton said. “I think I led us pretty well. I stayed positive.” Norton says he’s the better option for people concerned with the current county majority, made up of more conservative Commissioners Jim Howell, Richard Ranzau and Karl Peterjohn. “There’s no case for change as far as I’m concerned, not from my race,” Norton said. “Obviously, there was already a case for change in another race.” That’s a reference to the Aug. 2 Republican primary, in which Peterjohn lost his District 3 seat by double digits. The eventual winner of that seat – ei-

t 32, Michael O’Donnell has already served in the Kansas Statehouse and at Wichita City Hall. Now he wants to be a Sedgwick County commissioner. He says he seeks to soften the political divide on the commission and consolidate some services with the city of Wichita. The Republican state senator is running against Democratic incumbent Tim Norton in District 2, which includes Haysville, Clearwater and parts of south and southwest Wichita. “I’m going to work with whoever wants to do the best for our community and who is going to listen to my priorities for southwest Sedgwick County,” O’Donnell said. The District 2 race could greatly affect the political direction of the fivemember commission. Since early 2015, county government has been guided by a conservative majority made up of Commissioners Jim Howell, Karl Peterjohn and Richard Ranzau. Peterjohn lost in the Aug. 2 primary to retired Air Force Col. David Dennis, who will face Goddard Mayor Marcey Gregory in District 3. Norton, a Democrat, tends to vote with Republican Commissioner Dave Unruh on split votes involving public health and debt policy. O’Donnell, who describes himself as a commonsense conservative, criticizes positions held by both Norton and the majority. He says he could improve county relations with the city of Wichita and bridge the divisions in county government through his relationship with current commissioners and council members. “We cannot continue to have this sharp divide that we currently have,” O’Donnell said, criticizing the 3-2 split votes. “It’s not in anyone’s best interest to completely disregard 40 percent of the county.”

NORTON strengthen support for the public health department and partnerships with economic development groups and the Sedgwick County Zoo. Norton, 69, rejects the idea put forth by his opponent that 16 years in office is too long. “I think I’m valuable to this community,” Norton said. “I think I can get things done. I don’t know that it’s about time. It’s about value and worth.” DELTA ROOTS, TARGET CAREER Norton grew up in the “cotton country” of northeast Arkansas along the Mississippi River Delta, in a family where politics was often a topic around the kitchen table. “We were thinking about the bigger world, even though we grew up in a town of 3,200 in Arkansas,” Norton said. He studied journalism at Arkansas State University but wound up in retail advertising for a small discount chain. He started working for Target in 1977, which took him to Wichita in 1980. He became more wellknown in the 1980s and 1990s as the manager of Target East. “I found a little small town that I like, which is Haysville, where I can let my kids grow up and be small-town kids and still be close to a pretty good metro area,” Norton said. “I could be connected here. I could be known as the Target guy.” Norton said he worked to be active in the community early on by participa-

ting in Riverfest, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the United Way. He was first elected to Haysville’s City Council in 1988. He became mayor in 1996 after the previous mayor resigned. He then won mayoral races in 1997 and 1999. HAYSVILLE TORNADO: ‘IT WAS CHAOS’ And then May 3, 1999, happened.

Kuwait arrests Egyptian after failed attack on U.S. soldiers The Associated Press KUWAIT CITY

An Egyptian driving a garbage truck loaded with explosives and Islamic State papers rammed into a truck carrying five U.S. soldiers in Kuwait on Saturday, injuring only himself in the attack, authorities said. The attempted attack is the first by the Islamic State group to target American troops in the tiny, oil-rich emirate that’s a stalwart U.S. ally. It comes as authorities already increased security ahead of a major Shiite commemoration in the coming days. Kuwait’s Interior Ministry identified the attacker as Ibrahim Sulaiman,

born in 1988, and published a picture of the alleged assailant in a hospital bed. The ministry said the five soldiers were not injured. The ministry did not offer a location for the failed attack, though it published pictures of the aftermath of the crash showing a wrecked garbage truck, as well as items it described as a suicide belt loaded with shrapnel. The white pickup truck apparently carrying the soldiers had the left side of its bed smashed in. American forces and others have troops stationed at Kuwait’s Camp Arifjan.

Airstrike hits funeral in Yemen, kills 82 The Associated Press SANAA, YEMEN

An airstrike by a Saudiled coalition on Saturday targeted a funeral hall packed with mourners in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, killing at least 82 people, according to a senior Health Ministry official. Nasser al-Argaly, the Health Ministry’s undersecretary, told a news conference that the strike also left 534 people wounded. Yemeni security and medical officials said the dead and wounded include military and security officials from the ranks of

the Shiite Houthi rebels fighting the internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi as well as their allies, loyalists of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. Among those killed was Maj-Gen. Abdul-Qader Hilal, head of the capital’s local council, according to the officials. Saturday’s funeral was held for Sheikh Ali al-Rawishan, father of Galal al-Rawishan, the interior minister in the rebel-led government. Galal Al-Rishwan was seriously wounded in the attack. The strike left the building little more than a shell, with most of its walls and

Norton won a seat on the Sedgwick County Commission in 2000 after Bill Hancock retired. He ran unopposed in 2004 and defeated Republican challengers in 2008 and 2012. ‘THINK ABOUT THE UNDERSERVED’ Norton touts a long list of accomplishments and endeavors while in office. He said the county’s support for Wichita Area Technical College, the partnership with Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research and work on the National Center for Aviation Training were critical for regional economic development. “We worked to try to decide what we needed to do in workforce development for the aviation industry,” Norton said. “We stepped off the ledge to build that.” Norton says he was very involved in alternative programs designed to lower jail population and cut costs. “We bent the curve,” Norton said. “It required everybody that had anything to do with public safety and the criminal justice system and the courts all hitching up to the wagon together.” Former public safety director Bob Lamkey said Norton asked the right

The extremist group, which holds territory in both Iraq and Syria, did not immediately claim the failed assault Saturday, though the Interior Ministry described Sulaiman as having “paper in his handwriting indicating he had adopted terrorist thought and had pledged allegiance to the group.” The reported failed attack comes ahead of the Shiite commemoration of Ashoura, which marks the death of Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala in present-day Iraq in the 7th century.

Mohammed AbdulSalam, the Houthis’ spokesman in Sanaa, denounced the airstrike as the latest act of “genocide” by the Saudi-led coalition. “The silence of the United Nations and the international community is the munition of the murderers,” he said. “Those murderers will not escape divine justice.” The Saudi-led coalition backs Hadi’s government which, together with its own allies, is fighting the Houthis and Saleh loyalists in a civil war that broke out in 2014.

questions, gathered data and worked to make sure the county was protecting public safety efficiently and effectively. “Tim was one of the steadiest, most incisive commissioners,” Lamkey said. “I always found Tim to be very thoughtful and responsive to public safety issues.” Norton also talks about his work to raise money for the Child Advocacy Center, which just opened a new building near Lincoln and Broadway. The center provides therapeutic and emotional support for abused children. “It’s a game-changer for our community,” he said. Norton is one of the more vocal commissioners about issues related to neglected children or mental health. “My family always pushed me to think about the underserved and disadvantaged and disenfranchised and folks that struggle,” he said. Norton also says his attention to drainage issues led to a public works department effort to clean out debris from the Cowskin Creek to relieve flooding problems south of Haysville. ‘WORKING WITH ALL OUR PARTNERS’ Norton wants the county to go back to using debt to pay for some road and bridge projects. The commission majority began paying for those projects with cash instead of borrowing money. Norton contended during 2016 budget discussions last

summer that that policy led to unpopular cuts to public health, economic development, recreation and culture. He says the county should look at restoring some health department programs cut in the 2016 budget. He points to a motion he made in the 2017 budget process that restored a county health department position to help create a community health assessment. “I believe that that health assessment person is critical to knowing our community and working with all our partners to gather data, to understand our community, to know where the pitfalls and the roadblocks are,” he said. Norton said he has a good relationship with the Wichita City Council but criticizes the “acrimony

and some pushback between the city and the present majority.” “A lot of people know that it’s out there. It’s the elephant in the room,” Norton said. “Truthfully, I wasn’t invited to the meetings where they got adversarial with each other. “I am not the person that has hamstrung the conversation,” Norton said. “I’ve always been a relationship builder.” Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell has not endorsed anyone in the District 2 race. But he agreed with Norton on city-county relations: “Tim is not the problem.” Lamkey added that Norton always worked well with the city on public safety cooperation. “He’s been very good about reaching across the street to solve issues without making a lot of noise,” Lamkey said. Norton said he largely agrees with points Gregory and Dennis have made in candidate forums and debates. “They have said things that are pretty lined up with the way I think,” Norton said. “Would that change the (county commission’s) dynamic on some of these issues that have been controversial? “I think maybe it would.” Daniel Salazar: 316-269-6791, @imdanielsalazar

He also was a critic of taxpayerbacked incentives for business developments. “We need to respect the taxpayers’ money just as if it were our own,” O’Donnell said. “And I didn’t see that happening a lot.” He left Clear Channel in 2011 to handle marketing for Wink Hartman’s portfolio of companies. O’Donnell said he works there about 20 hours a week. O’Donnell said he was recruited to run for the Senate by Sen. Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican who is now the Senate president. Wagle called O’Donnell a team player and a strong communicator. He defeated third-term Sen. Jean Schodorf in 2012 as part of a wave of more conservative candidates ousting more moderate incumbents. ‘TOPEKA ISN’T WORKING’ O’Donnell points to several bipartisan efforts he has championed in his one term in the Senate, such as legislation to help protect seniors from financial scams. “Kansas did not have enough teeth to really throw the books at these individuals that would prey on senior citizens,” O’Donnell said. “Every senior citizen is now in better shape if they were ever to fall victim to a financial predator.” He also touted work to get property tax relief for tornado victims after the

2012 tornado that hit south Wichita. O’Donnell also led the charge on changes to welfare programs last year, carrying a bill to the Senate floor that limited participation in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to 36 months, among other changes.

HE (CANDIDATE DAVID DENNIS) TALKS ABOUT TEARING DOWN THE WALL ON CENTRAL BETWEEN CITY HALL AND THE COURTHOUSE. I WANT TO BE RIGHT THERE WITH HIM WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER. Michael O’Donnell, Sedgwick County Commission candidate “It’s much better for everyone involved … whether it’s the individual that uses welfare or the community that pays for it, to get those individuals out of a welfare cycle and into the workforce,” he said. But he said he became increasingly frustrated with state government “careening” from one

crisis to the next, such as revenue shortfalls. “I’ve learned a lot from Topeka. Unfortunately, the thing I’ve learned most is that Topeka isn’t working,” O’Donnell said. “And that comes from the top down.” He says people assume he’s a “rubber stamp” for Gov. Sam Brownback’s plans, but he sharply criticized Brownback for essentially forcing an increase in the sales taxes on food last year. O’Donnell voted for a bill last year that increased sales and cigarettes taxes but lowered the sales tax on food. He voted against a subsequent part of the tax plan that dropped the future cut to the sales tax on food. COUNTY DECISION, RESIDENCY O’Donnell says he was approached last fall by “many people” about running for the County Commission. “The word out there was that Tim (Norton) wasn’t running again,” he said. That played a huge part in his decision to run, he said, and in picking up initial support for his candidacy. He has outraised Norton, according to campaign finance reports filed in late July. “I feel like I could make more of a difference at the local level being one of five … versus one of 40 (state senators),” he said. O’Donnell lived in District 3, Peterjohn’s district, until December. He said he flipped that house and sold it to a cousin. His current address is a house on South Sheridan just west of Friends Uni-

versity that lies in commission District 2 and his state Senate district. “It is not outside any office that I ever held or outside the office that I’m seeking,” O’Donnell said. “So I really think the residency is a non-issue.” O’Donnell says he has strong ties to southern Sedgwick County. “My family has been in south Wichita and Haysville going back to my grandparents,” he said. “To me, it (District 2) is home.” O’DONNELL VIEWS ON MAJORITY O’Donnell emphasizes some differences between him and the commissioners in the current majority. He says the county should be open to paying for some road and bridge projects by borrowing money. The majority has moved toward paying for those projects with cash only. “At the county level, you need to bond when you’re doing road projects that are 20-, 30-year road projects,” O’Donnell said. “It doesn’t make sense to spend cash when people are going to be using that (road) for the next two decades.” O’Donnell also said the commission majority did a “disservice” by ending its funding agreement with the Sedgwick County Zoo. And, he said, the commission started an unnecessary fight when it decided in September to stop requiring wastewater inspections during home sales out in the county. Realtors warned the deregulation would compromise public health and safety. “The commission needs

He praised the majority on lobbying efforts to support a property tax lid for local governments and to block illegal immigrants from receiving in-state tuition. ‘I’M BUILDING COALITIONS’ O’Donnell says he would prefer Unruh to be chairman of the commission in 2017. Commission chairmen can have a bigger role in setting the weekly county agenda. “I’m going to be with Commissioner Unruh a lot,” O’Donnell said. “(But) I see myself working with each person on the commission on different issues.” He added he wanted to work with commission candidate Dennis to improve relations with Wich-

ita city leaders if they both were to be elected. “He (Dennis) talks about tearing down the wall on Central between City Hall and the courthouse,” O’Donnell said. “I want to be right there with him with a sledgehammer. “I’m building coalitions,” O’Donnell said. “I have trust with my potential colleagues.” Unruh, a Republican who often votes with Norton, said he won’t endorse anyone in the District 2 race. He says he generally supports Republican candidates but doesn’t want to do or say something that would hurt Norton. “I’m hopeful that the commission next year will be much more sensitive to community needs and focused on being a good partner,” Unruh said. “That will happen no matter who prevails in that race. “He (O’Donnell) has indicated to me that he’s less extreme and ideological than the current majority,” Unruh said. O’Donnell said he wants to end commission majorities that don’t listen to their colleagues in the minority. “I will criticize the current majority for doing that. I will criticize the former majority for doing that,” O’Donnell said. “These 3-2 splits have been going back and forth for a while now. “I don’t care if I’m voting with Dave Unruh or Richard Ranzau as long as issues that benefit the district I’m representing get the majority.” Daniel Salazar: 316-269-6791, @imdanielsalazar

Election-year conversion? Eagle Editorial Board

t’s good that 26 GOP state senators and candidates now acknowledge that “Kansas is on the wrong track.” And that they now seem at least somewhat open to changing direction on state tax policies. But a plan they unveiled last week smacks of an election-year conversion. After all, many of these incumbents not only set Kansas on its current track, they stubbornly refused to admit their policies weren’t working, despite the clear evidence. It wasn’t until conservative Republicans suffered major defeats in the August primary that many of them suddenly saw the light. Still, good for them if they sincerely listened to voters and are now ready to work toward balanced solutions to pressing state problems. The Republican Senatorial Committee released last week a “Plan for a Better Kansas.” It states that “business as usual is not working for Kansas and change is needed,” and it calls for taking “a hard look at government spending, the current tax system, and economic growth.” Tax policy could be the biggest shift, though that’s not entirely clear. The plan argues for “a system of taxation that is fair to all,” noting that “some currently do not pay any taxes while others who do the same job are taxed unfairly.” That’s a vague reference to a signature feature of the 2012 tax cuts: the tax exemption for passthrough business income. But in a meeting Friday at The Eagle, Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, wouldn’t say whether she favors repealing the exemption. She also said that some of the GOP senators who endorsed the plan “don’t want to do a darn thing” about the exemption.

GOP state senators and candidates now say “Kansas is on the wrong track.”

The plan also calls for “an education system that makes sure every classroom around the state receives the funding they need to provide a high quality education.” That’s a welcome change from the hostility some of these lawmakers have directed toward educators and increased school funding. However, the plan also claims that the education funding system is broken. Most educators would argue that the previous funding system – which many these lawmakers and Gov. Sam Brownback scrapped – was, on balance, fair and responsive. The problem was the Legislature’s refusal to adequately fund it. The plan also expresses a commitment to restoring the state’s cash reserves, which are supposed to be 7.5 percent of expenditures. Brownback and the Legislature spent those reserves (and about $1.3 billion in highway funds) trying to cover the revenue lost from their tax cuts. The plan says it is “based on a return to bedrock Kansas commonsense principles of governing that have served our state well for generations.” But it was this governor and many of these lawmakers who departed from those principles and set Kansas on the “wrong track.” They now seem to be admitting the error of their ways. But voters should question whether the conversion is real and whether the people who created the mess can now be trusted to clean it up.

NOW CONSIDER THIS KANSAS VOTERS ANGRY ONLY AT CERTAIN INCUMBENTS Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, said the level of voter anger is higher now than it was in 1990, when voters upset over property taxes ousted many state lawmakers. “We have people, and I’m sure it’s happening with both parties, but doors are being slammed in faces,” she told the Lawrence Journal-World. “The one question is: Are you an incumbent? And they’re just angry.” Many voters are angry, as was reflected in the defeat of many conservative incumbents in the August primary. But they aren’t mad at all incumbents or both parties. Local candidates tell The Eagle that the question they are asked is whether they support Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies. If the candidates say “no,” the voters are very friendly. ARE BUSINESSES REORGANIZING TO GET EXEMPTION? When Gov. Sam Brownback boasts about new business formations in Kansas, skeptics have questioned how many of those businesses are new and how many are existing businesses that merely reorganized to take advantage of the state’s tax exemption on pass-through income. A task force on improving the state’s tax estimates examined that question. It found that the rate of increase in pass-through entities and the rate of reduction in C corporations were about the same after the tax exemption went into effect in 2013 as they were before then. That suggests the tax exemption hasn’t triggered a surge of business reorganizations – though it also suggests that the tax policy hasn’t spurred much growth. PROPOSED CHANGE ON FISCAL NOTES RAISES CONCERN A report released last week on improving the state’s tax revenue estimates also proposed changing which agency is responsible for preparing the fiscal notes on tax legislation. Currently, the nonpartisan Kansas Legislative Research Department analyzes proposed tax bills in the Legislature to estimate the fiscal impact, positive or negative. A task force that Gov. Sam Brownback created recommended that the Kansas Department of Revenue take over this responsibility. But Bernie Koch, executive director of the Kansas Economic Progress Council, worries that the leadership of the Department of Revenue can be partisan, which could hurt the credibility and potential accuracy of the fiscal notes. Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan has been a vocal cheerleader for Brownback’s tax policies and philosophy, often portraying revenue shortfalls in the rosiest possible light. – Phillip Brownlee

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t shortchange education system I am a homeowner and do not have children, but I do know we need to take care of the next generation. And if that means tax increases, then so be it. We cannot expect the state of Kansas to run on the generosity of large companies and the wealthy citizens of the state, because it is obviously not working like our governor had hoped. Sure, education is expensive. We need to be able to hire and keep the most up-to-date, techsavvy, dedicated teachers. That takes money. Don’t cheat the state of Kansas by shortchanging our education system. That is what Gov. Sam Brownback is doing. The only thing that runs on a shoestring is our sneakers. – Karen L. Swisher, Wichita

Retain justices In my 53 years as a Kansas attorney, I have observed and argued before a lot of different Kansas Supreme Court justices. They have been uniformly good. But in my opinion we have never had a better court than we have now. I will be voting to retain all five who are on the ballot, including three appointed by a Republican and two by a Democrat. They are Lawton Nuss, Dan Biles, Caleb Stegall, Carol Beier and Marla Luckert. – Dick Seaton, Manhattan

Renewable best Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., was certainly right when he told a group of energy executives that cheap energy was necessary for our economy to be competitive and that legislation is needed to keep energy costs low (Oct. 1 Business). Fossil fuels provide cheap energy because they do not pay their external costs, which include cost to people’s health, the environment, and to the economy. Renewable energy is becoming less expensive and does not have the external costs that fossil fuels do. The best solution is legislation that would favor a shift to renewable energy. The effect of rising energy costs on the economy could be offset by a carbon fee and dividend system, in which a fee

Roy Heatherly Publisher & President

would be added to fossil fuels at the source to cover their external costs. All the money collected would be distributed equally to every household as an energy dividend. Those who switch to renewable energy or who save energy would have more to spend, which would stimulate the economy. I hope that the legislation that Moran is considering would be a carbon fee and dividend system, as it uses freemarket principles to reduce air and water pollution while protecting the economy from rising energy costs. – JC Moore, Kechi

Already great One candidate for president says that “I will make America great again.” But America is already great. She is a beacon of hope in a chaotic world. Her form of democracy, while turbulent and messy, stands out as a goal for struggling people living under oppression. We have the largest economy in the world. Our currency and our markets are the gold standard across the globe. We have tremendous national resources, not just in materials, but in people and expertise. Like all mature economies, ours has moved on from industrial age manufacturing to an information, innovation, technology and services economy. Our agricultural production feeds the world. The challenges we face, such as renewable energy and climate change, provide us with opportunities for leadership and growth. We have a constitutional republic with three separate but equal branches of government that, under the rule of law, provides us with unheard of freedoms. Civilian control over the greatest military in the world adds stability to our democracy. What ultimately makes America great is her people. We have hard-working, tax-paying, good, generous, family-oriented people of all races, faiths, colors and ethnicities who have made this country what it is today. Isolationism, protectionism and building monolithic walls is not what America is about. We have many problems, including the national debt, but don’t need to descend into an unknown black hole on the pretext of making America great again. America already is the greatest country on Earth.

Remember when ISIS was crossing the desert on its quest for a caliphate? There were just a couple of hundred. President Obama called them the “JV” team. Well, it is now in about 30 countries and headed for the United States. Would people really rather have Clinton at the helm, allowing more Syrians into the United States and basically leaving the borders wide open? And Trump is dangerous? We have been so depleted in common sense, under the direction of Clinton and Obama, that the world’s most powerful nation can’t defend itself. Yet people believe it when Clinton says she’s going to do to defeat ISIS? Clinton lovers better start thinking about someone who has plans for defeating ISIS, instead of a candidate who screams out how she’s going to save us. I guarantee Clinton will do nothing but sit in her neat little Oval Office and let this wonderful country go to hell. Clinton is not for us or this country. Her goal is power. So, please, do not fear Trump. Fear a woman who hasn’t a clue on how to defeat our worst enemy. One more thing: The candidates talk about the economy. But if we get defeated by ISIS, we won’t need to worry about the economy. – Roxie DeLong, Derby

Ugly debates Although I am 88 years old, I have learned something new during this presidential campaign. During all my years of voting, I have been under the impression that debates were held so the candidates could elaborate on the issues and what changes they think the country needs. Instead, the debates we are seeing are attacks on the candidates’ personal and marital lives. How much lower can our candidates sink? It’s too bad we don’t all boycott these so-called “debates” until they clean up their acts. – Maxine Kirkpatrick, Kingman YOUR OPINION

Brownback coalition failed at governing

BY H. EDWARD FLENTJE

With the approach of upcoming elections, I am reminded of a private conversation five years ago with Gov. Sam Brownback’s chief of staff, who mused: “The real issue is whether conservatives can govern.” At that time, I held out hope that the relatively new governor and his legislative allies could govern effectively. I was wrong. The Brownback coalition, dominated by farright ideologues, has left Kansas government in a state of despair. Their fanatical vision of boosting the economy by eliminating the state income tax, cutting taxes on the wealthy, and exempting pass-through businesses from taxation has not worked. Their delusion has wrecked state finance and caused grim repercussions for most state services. Brownback and his allies were foolhardy to believe from the start that handing big tax breaks to a few of the highest-income taxpayers would magically trigger an “adrenaline shot” to the $150 billion Kansas economy. That has not happened. Indeed, recent job numbers suggest we may be going backwards. This far-right faction claims to be “conservative” but has repeatedly adopted unbalanced

budgets, spending more than is taken in. A budget reserve of $700 million a few years ago has been depleted. Last spring lawmakers had the audacity to adopt a budget $100 million out of balance and then adjourn. Our state now behaves like a deadbeat by not paying bills on time. A conservative posture in the use of debt has been abandoned. State taxpayers have been saddled with new, longterm liabilities, and the state’s debt load has ballooned to an all-time high of $4.5 billion, a jump of 50 percent in two years. Statutory caps on borrowing were suspended to issue $400 million in highway debt, which was effectively swept from the highway fund to pay for tax cuts. Financial mismanagement has resulted in repeated downgrades of the state’s credit rating. As a consequence of this financial mess, public schools have been shortchanged, highway maintenance has been deferred, and university budgets have been cut, forcing hefty increases in student tuition, fees, and debt. Support for our state’s most vulnerable citizens has suffered from inattention and poor management. Brownback and his legislative backers have failed at governing. Our state desperately needs new leaders who can break out of the ideological fog and govern with realism and common sense. H. Edward Flentje is professor emeritus at Wichita State University.

United Way is about changing local lives

BY JEFF VAN SICKLE

As chairman of this year’s United Way campaign, I have had the pleasure of talking to many people and presenting to many groups about the value of giving to this venerable organization. The benefits are huge: Kids’ school attendance improves; victims of domestic violence are removed from danger; the mentally and physically challenged are given new opportunities; and the list goes on and on. Our United Way funds 77 programs that assist deserving people in their quest for better education, improved health and more financial stability. Like all good organizations, the United Way is making positive changes to benefit both the programs it funds and the people who give. There are more options for flexible giving, such as donor designation, mobile pledging and e-pledging. Agencies are now able to run their campaigns at any time during the year. Gone is the “blackout” period that prohibited agencies receiving United Way funds from doing their own fundraising during the

campaign season. “Community impact” has been another evolution. By creating more opportunities for agencies to work together on a common goal, such as the “Be There” initiative to improve school attendance, the entire community benefits. As part of our evolution, many people noted that we did not announce a monetary goal at our recent campaign kick-off breakfast. Instead, we presented the following goal: Set more children on the path to success, empower more people to be financially stable, and build a healthier community. We are finding that most people relate better to the impact of the services we fund, and are moved more by the success stories of the people served, than by a monetary goal. As we say, “We don’t just raise dollars, we change lives.” The impact and success of United Way does take money, of course, and we urge those who can to give. It is amazing how all gifts, large and small, begin to add up when we work together. As a bank executive told his employees recently, “Giving to United Way makes this a better community.” And I would add that generosity makes us better people. I hope you will join us in this year’s campaign. Jeff Van Sickle is an architect in Wichita.

Syria has been President Obama’s worst mistake, a huge blot on his legacy.

When will U.S. finally act in Syria?

BY NICHOLAS KRISTOF

New York Times

Our excuse for failing to respond to mass atrocities used to be that we didn’t fully appreciate the horrors until it was too late. “If only we had known,” became one refrain, along with, “Never again!” In Syria, we are deprived of that excuse: We have a daily window into war crimes. If you’re on Twitter, follow a 7-year-old girl in Aleppo, Bana al-Abed, @alabedbana, who with her mom’s help is tweeting the carnage around her. One tweet shows a video

clip of Bana looking out the window and plugging her ears as bombs drop. “I am very afraid I will die tonight,” she worried in imperfect English. “This bombs will kill me now.” “This is my friend house bombed,” Bana tweeted with a photo. “She’s killed. I miss her so much.” Her mother, Fatemah, an English teacher who has been teaching Bana English for several years, chimes in as well. “Sleeping as you can hear the bombs fall,” Fatemah tweeted. “I will tweet tomorrow if we are alive.” I interviewed Fatemah and Bana by e-mail, which they access on a cellphone that they recharge with a solar panel. Bana’s school was destroyed by a bomb last year, and Fatemah said that they were surviving on pasta and rice that

were now running out. “Bana is very weak,” her mom told me. Russia and Syria appear to be deliberately targeting civilians like Bana. The aim seems to be to bomb and starve civilians into exhaustion and submission, so that they flee or no longer support the opposition. For those of us who generally admire President Obama as a man of principle, it is wrenching to watch his paralysis. As I see it, Syria has been his worst mistake, a huge blot on his legacy. We can’t be sure that more robust strategies advocated by Hillary Clinton, David Petraeus, John Kerry and others would have succeeded, but Obama’s approach has manifestly failed – and after five years, it should be time to reconsider strategy. Some of you are thinking: This is horrific, but what can the West possibly do? Charles Lister, author of a recent book on Syria, has written a detailed nine-page plan of action. I’ve suggested cratering Syrian military runways with missiles fired from Turkey so that Syrian military aircraft can’t take off. So far, Obama’s paralysis has been linked to the loss of perhaps half a million lives in Syria, the rise of extremist groups like the Islamic State, genocide against the Yazidi and Christians, the worst refugee crisis in more than 60 years and the rise of ultranationalist groups in Europe. Aleppo may fall, and lives like Bana’s hang in the balance. If we don’t act after half a million deaths, will we after 1 million? After 2 million? When? Nicholas Kristof writes for the New York Times.

To all you jerks who abused using the recycle bins at Dillons: Thanks for ruining it for those of us who used it properly and were doing our part to help the environment. Too bad you didn’t care. I don’t blame Waste Connections and Dillons for stopping the recycling, because I’ve seen the items dumped. I do wish they had put out security cameras to catch the perpetrators instead of penalizing the rest of us. Once again the state misses its revenue projections because of poor tax and spend policies. I have voted Republican for 50 years and apologize to all who read this. Join me this election in not voting to return any incumbent to office on all levels. Our Legislature seems to be upset with our governor and his poorly conceived, poorly managed financial policies. But they were the ones who initially bought into and adopted such policies. I watched the vice presidential debate and drew one conclusion. I like them much better than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Tim Kaine’s debate coach should be placed on Clinton’s hit list. How about a PenceTrump ticket instead? That way when Mike Pence becomes president, we won’t hear from Trump again. It takes a genius to lose a billion dollars in a single year. Clinton has been running for president since 2007 and still has not impressed anyone. There are possibly two things that would ingratiate Trump to the undecided voters: publicly state, “I have been an ass and I apologize,” and get a buzz cut. If only today’s politicians and presidential candidates could display the gentlemanly rivalry seen at golf’s Ryder Cup. My heart just bleeds for air-head celebrities who get robbed in foreign countries of multimillion-dollar rings and assorted jewelry. Maybe next time she’ll leave the stuff at home. I’m telling you, there will be clown riots. En masse, they’ll show up and paralyze a city with fear. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is on a reality dating TV show. Amazing. A tall, handsome pro athlete with more than $45 million who is clueless as to how to find a girlfriend. Throw that one on the pile of yet another question the Chiefs are unable to solve.

DAILY PRAYER God, help those who are adrift in life find the right path and make something of themselves. Guide them to see and use their special gifts.

Arts &Culture Tallgrass Film Festival offers diverse lineup MOVIE MANIAC BY ROD POCOWATCHIT

he Tallgrass Film Festival just keeps getting bigger. Now in its 14th year, the festival, which starts Wednesday and continues through Oct. 16, has become one of Wichita’s favorite events and a staple of the city. This year, a total of 191 films will be shown (47 features and 144 shorts) from 33 countries, and about 45 filmmakers will come to Wichita to present their films and talk about making them. Jeff Grace is coming to

Wichita from Los Angeles with Tallgrass’ opening night film, “Folk Hero & Funny Guy,” the first feature he has written and directed. It’s about a struggling stand-up comic who goes on the road as the opening act for his successful singer-songwriter friend. It’s a topic he knows well, since he was worked for years as a stand-up comic and actor. He says “Folk Hero” is semi-autobiographical. “I’ve opened for bands and it was always a disas-

“Folk Hero & Funny Guy” will be the opening night film for the 14th annual Tallgrass Film Festival.

ter,” he said. “It’s the worst gig you get could get. You’re stuck out on the road, there’s no way to get out of it. The reality is that it’s a death sentence.” “Folk Hero” has been steadily making the festival rounds since its world

premiere at Tribeca in April, and has so far played at about 20 festivals. Grace says festivals such as Tallgrass are important because it lets people see movies they would not otherwise have access to.

“It can be challenging fare that you’ll never see in mainstream cinema,” he said. Or they can be comedies, such as his. This year’s festival lineup certainly offers diversity. Special interest sections will include “foodie” films, environmental films, music films, late-night genre selections, LGBQT films, sports films, documentaries and the festival’s celebrated Stubbornly Independent award competition. “Diverge” is a film that was a contender for that award (nominees were selected by Tallgrass’ programming committee, and the winner was chosen by an industry jury).

Pop art is alive and well, judging by a new exhibition recently opened at the Wichita Art Museum. The exhibition, called “Sticky, Shiny, Smooth: Pop Art and the Senses,” attempts to present pop art in a sensory way – it’s intended to “make the mouth water, the nose tingle, the ears strain, and the fingers itch,” according to curator Lisa Volpe. It’s the baby-blue fur benches spread throughout the exhibit. The metal ice cream sculpture. Or maybe it’s the giant rubber flat-head screw that greets you on a pedestal as you enter the exhibit. “I want you to start thinking about pop art in a little bit of a different way,” Volpe said. “If it was looking at advertising, what lessons was it learning from advertising? Advertising’s always trying to kindle a sense to make you desire that product. “Pop really took that on and embraced it, and a lot of them play with that in their work.”

WICKED edge of the greater NYC area, and enrolled in Hartford (Conn.) School of Music. “It was a great school, but it wasn’t for me,” she said. “I switched to finance and got a job on Wall Street.” But her love of performance kept nagging at her and she began performing in small clubs around New York City. She finally decided to chuck 9-to-5 predictability and go for her passion. She lucked out by being cast in ABBA’s new musical, “Kristina,” which she performed at Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall in London, and parlayed that into featured roles on Broadway (most recently the flashily tormented spirit Fruma Sarah in “Fiddler on the Roof”). Then came the call for “Wicked.” “It is a turning point for me. It’s my first Broadway leading lady role. I was completely green – pun intended,” said Vosk, who just joined the show in September. “It’s a very athletic role. I think I’m offstage only four minutes in a three-hour show. You have to build up your stamina like a runner or any athlete. It’s exhausting, but it’s a rush.” Vosk plays Elphaba (so named in tribute to “Wizard of Oz” author L. Frank Baum: L-Fa-Ba), a girl bullied for being different (she’s green), who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West – or so the simplistic fairy tale goodversus-evil legend would have us believe. But author Gregory Maguire in his clever 1995 novel, set before Dorothy

arrives in Oz from Kansas, gives the story an empowerment twist about carving out your own niche rather than just complacently fitting in. It follows the odyssey of two girls who meet in Oz – one smart, fiery and misunderstood and the other beautiful, ambitious and popular – and their unlikely friendship as they evolve from giddy besties at school into the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. It also provides fascinating – and sometimes heartbreaking – backstories for the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion and where they came from. And musical creators Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman expand it into a spectacular, thrilling experience through such songs as “Dancing Through Life,” “I’m Not That Girl,” “(I Have Been Changed) For Good” and, of course, “Defying Gravity.” Vosk says she is bringing her own “Jersey flair,” her “personal sass” to the role of Elphaba because she can identify with her as an occasional social misfit. “Elphaba is very smart, but she’s not the best in social situations. She’s always been different, so she strives to fit into the world. She’s not coming from a bad place; she’s just misunderstood because she puts her foot in her mouth. I understand that because I’m like that as a person,” Vosk said. “My character puts up walls as a defense mechanism and I can relate. But we both stand up for what we believe in and carve

out our own niche. In the show, Elphaba must learn to be vulnerable and let some of the walls down to learn about friendship and love. I understand that, too,” Vosk said. While her show-stopping moment is the “Defying Gravity” number where Elphaba flies for the first time and takes charge of her fate, Vosk said her personal favorite moment is the quiet, thoughtful, bittersweet “I’m Not That Girl” as Elphaba realizes she will never be able to fit into “normal” society. Playing Glinda the Good, the pretty, perky and popular blonde who is everything that Elphaba isn’t but who becomes her unlikely best friend, is Amanda Jane Cooper, a native of Valley Forge, Pa., just outside Philadelphia. This is her second national tour as Glinda, and it’s a role she relishes. “I love her spunk. She’s a little spark plug, she’s a firecracker. She’s the life of the party. She always wins others over.

MOVIE Written and directed by James Morrison, the film is about the survivor of a deadly virus who is given the chance to regain his past life by stopping those who are responsible. Morrison will be in Wichita from New York City. He says he learned to make movies mostly by watching them. “It’s the best film school in the world,” Morrison said. “I’ve worked at a bunch of video stores and sat and watched movies with people who just know movies, a lot of old movies. You almost learn by seeing what other people have done.” Morrison says the best thing about festivals such as Tallgrass is that “you get to see your movie on a big screen with people who care about that and care about your movie being there.” Aaron Greer and Seth Panitch are coming to Wichita from Chicago with their film, “Service to Man,” about the first white student at a historically black medical school who forges unlikely friendships during the racially turbulent 1960s. “It has elements of a fish-out-of-water story,” Greer said. “But it also has a touch of a coming-of-age thing, as well.” Panitch says their story is loosely based on his father’s experiences, about people “who look at work as a job and other people who look at it as something greater than the sum of its parts.” They say they are both excited about playing at Tallgrass. “Everything I’ve heard about the festival is that it’s great from a filmmaker perspective,” Greer said.

Dorie Barton agrees. “I have never heard anything about it except wonderful things,” she said. “When it came time for us to submit to festivals, it was one of the ones that I really wanted to reach out to.” Her film is “Girl Flu,” the closing night film for this year’s festival. It’s about that singular moment in every girl’s life that changes everything: The onset of adolescence. Barton based the film, which she also wrote, on her own experiences. “I was in no hurry to grow up,” Barton said. “But suddenly everyone says, ‘you’re a woman now.’ And there’s this

sense that whether you want this or not, you will never be a child again.” She says such matters have never really been dealt with in a film. “It’s usually just a disgusting joke,” Barton said. “But we don’t really help young people through that. We kind of let the school system tell your kids what’s going on and go, ‘Hope you don’t have any questions.’ ” She’s hoping the Tallgrass audience will have plenty to ask her, though. “The whole festival experience is such an amazing way to sit directly with the audience and get what they’re feeling, and hear what they say.”

she’s very ‘fabby’ in her fashions,” said Cooper, who played Glinda in the 2011 tour, then left to do some TV (“Glee,” “CSI,” “Bones”) and film (“Smart People,” “Cavemen”) before re-upping as Glinda last December. “I don’t think of Glinda as shallow or naïve. I don’t like to put labels on characters. I just play them as honestly as I can and let the audience decide,” Cooper said. “To me, Glinda is very earnest, ambitious and full of joy. Some think of her as selfish, but when we first meet her, she hasn’t had hardship or a lot of life experiences to make her self-aware. She is truthfully trying to do her best.” What Cooper really likes is Glinda’s transformation from self-centered girl to a woman who learns to put others ahead of herself. “It’s not as simple as a good or bad person. All of us are some degree of both. Glinda was never ‘oh so good.’ She has her flaws. It’s interesting to

see how friendship changes both her and Elphaba. There’s so much to excavate, to discover,” Cooper said. “The show is so rich melodically, visually, lyrically. It’s set in a fantasy world, but it’s about the reality of friendship and doing what’s right instead of what’s popular. It’s about what it means to be responsible and to take care of those who don’t have a voice.” Playing Fiyero, the handsome prince that both Glinda and Elphaba become smitten with, is Jeremy Woodard, who grew up in Garner, N.C., near Raleigh and has been on Broadway (“School of Rock,” “Rock of Ages,” “Hairspray”) and TV (“Smash,” “Crossbones”) before joining “Wicked” a little over a month ago. “Fiyero is like a rock star when he arrives at Shiz University. He’s good looking with a reputation described as ‘scandalicious.’ He’s kind of a slacker, but not a bad guy. His nonchalance, his ‘I don’t care’ attitude is more of a front to keep from being vulnerable,” Woodard said. “He is trapped by his own reputation and image.” While Fiyero appears shallow and self-centered at first, he is actually a “loving, sensitive guy” who genuinely cares for both Glinda and Elphaba, Woodard said. “Yeah, he has his flaws. But you can’t play him as a jerk. If the audience thinks he’s a jerk, you’ve lost. He’s super comfortable with Glinda because they seem like the typical cheerleader and football captain, but Elphaba tackles his soul. What he likes about her is that she doesn’t care what people think. She’s going to be

who she is.” Fiyero’s big number is “Dancing Through Life,” his breezy slacker philosophy, but actor Woodard’s favorite moment is what he calls the “first genuine moment” with Elphaba. “She calls me out for bragging about being self-absorbed and shallow, but tells me that if I really were, I wouldn’t be so unhappy. She has a real insight into Fiyero,” Woodard said. The other major guy in the young witches’ lives is Boq the Munchkin, played by 5-foot-5 Sam Seferian, who grew up in Winchester, Mass., a bedroom community of about 22,000 eight miles north of Boston. “Boq has the biggest heart in the show,” said Seferian, a Penn State grad who has been on TV in “Gotham.” “He wears his heart on his sleeve, which becomes tragically ironic as the show goes on.” Boq is the only Munchkin at the university and he is immediately attracted to popular Glinda, who would seem to be out of his league. “I like his drive to go after what he wants. He is an outsider like Elphaba, but he doesn’t realize it. He is naive but he has such a positive outlook. He is socially unaware but that keeps him super authentic,” said Seferian, who has imagined Boq’s backstory because there isn’t a lot of exposition in the show itself. “I can relate to his optimism because that’s the sort of person I am. I like to find the best in everybody. But he is too trusting, too open. He can’t see when someone is manipulating him and that sets him up for heartbreak.”

Kati Marton tells story of Stalin’s American spy BY MATTHEW PRICE

Newsday

“True Believer: Stalin’s Last American Spy” by Kati Marton; Simon and Schuster (288 pages, $27) In “True Believer: Stalin’s Last American Spy,” Kati Marton richly documents the story of the Swiss-born, Harvardeducated Noel Field. A “sensitive, self-absorbed

idealist and dreamer,” he progressed from pacifist liberal to secret agent whose belief in communism proved perversely unwavering. Using Field’s letters and papers, as well as a trove of other documents from KGB archives, Marton, author of “Ene-

mies of the People,” builds a detailed narrative with twists and turns galore. Outwardly the tall, WASP-y Field looked every inch the government official as a young hand at the State Department in the late 1920s. But like many of his generation, Field embraced communism during the economic collapse of the Depression; by 1936 he had been recruited into the murky

world of espionage. Field rationalized his treasonous betrayal as a noble endeavor: “I had become conscious of the fact that the task is an honorable duty,” he later observed. Field’s combination of earnestness and naivete served him well – up to a point. He connived in the murder of defectors but was tone deaf to the disputes and doubts that embroiled Western communists. Field dedicated his life to the movement he passionately believed in – but was ultimately expendable. After World War II, he traveled through Eastern Europe, where he hoped to build a new society. Instead, he found himself

REVIEW

When reading Tana French’s new novel, assume nothing JANET MASLIN

New York Times News Service

“The Trespasser” by Tana French (449 pages, Viking, $27) Tana French, the superb Irish novelist who happens to write avidly about crime, used to link her books by having a minor character in one become the beleaguered protagonist of the next. Since the books all involved the Dublin Murder Squad, the beleaguered part came easily. But in her sixth novel, “The Trespasser,” she breaks that pattern to reunite the same pair of detectives who waded through “The Secret Place,” her fifth. That one took place at a swanky private school, a grating milieu where the girls’ teen language (“Um, duh?”) wasn’t easy for the detectives, Antoinette Conway and Stephen Moran, to take. Conway and Moran survived this hazing so well that French has paired these two off again. And why not? Moran (deemed “totes adorbs” by the schoolgirls) is the perfect foil for Conway, and each has come to know and respect the other’s tricks. At the start of “The Trespasser,” they have been acquainted for eight months and partnered for only four, but they’re feeling out each other and the process is working. Conway explains to the reader: “At first I didn’t like him – everyone else did, and I don’t trust

people who everyone likes, plus he smiled too much – but that changed fast.” One of French’s great strengths has always been the keen insight with which she endows her characters and the coy distance at which she keeps them from the reader. Her books would be mysterious even if they didn’t involve outright murders. The people in them keep secrets, imperceptibly change, create facades, hide motives and even fool their own families about matters of life or death for decades. If “The Trespasser” were described simply via its plot, it might sound like an ordinary police procedural. In fact, Conway and Moran are disappointed as the book begins, having been handed what sounds like a garden-variety murder case to solve. A goodlooking young woman named Aislinn Murray is found dead in her apartment on a Saturday night. The table is set for two,

and dinner is shriveling in the kitchen. She appeared to have a date with a bookstore owner named Rory Fallon, and she evidently died from a blow to the head. So either she fell and hit her head on the fireplace, or Rory came over and hit her. End of story? Just wait for these stunningly obvious hypotheses to fall apart. The first sign that something is wrong is the attitude of Conway’s peers, who haze her tirelessly and have raised the ante now that she has the Murray case to solve. One overbearing detective, an imposing character named Breslin, is unusually eager to nail Rory for the crime and close the case immediately. And in the interrogation room scenes that are great specialties of French’s, Rory emerges as a peculiar guy. In a book by this author, anyone would. In any case, Conway and Moran don’t take their orders from Breslin and let him know it.

“The Trespasser” is brisk but not breathless. It would be a pity if French raced through such beautifully conceived and executed material. When it comes to grilling suspects, Conway gets such a high from the process that the reader can almost feel it. And just the idea of Conway’s picking the personality she will use to question a particular suspect (she likes Cool Girl for Rory) says something about the effort that goes into her work. She’s a pro who takes no nonsense from anyone, and while Rory seems harmless enough, there’s something about him that makes the smell of blood hit the back of her nose. When you read French – and she has become required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting – make only one assumption: All of your initial assumptions are wrong. This author drops just enough breadcrumbs

plunged into a Kafkaesque nightmare. Kidnapped by Czech security services in Prague in 1949, he was turned over to Hungary. Accused of plotting against Moscow, Field was tortured and imprisoned, despite his repeated declarations of loyalty to Stalin. His fate also drew his family into the net. Field’s brother and wife were both jailed in Eastern Europe after they attempted to find him. Marton’s account of their fates is poignant and almost defies belief. Like the man at the center of this extraordinary story, they could not fathom the sinister side of Stalinism, even as it closed in all around them.

through her book to create trails that lead away from whatever the detectives’ conventional wisdom happens to be, and she doesn’t follow up on them until she’s good and ready. So it’s indicated early on that there was something odd about Aislinn. She wasn’t always Barbie-doll pretty, and it took a lot of work for her to remake herself into some kind of retrograde vision of femininity. Indeed, after Conway has finished searching Aislinn’s house, she goes home to her own glancingly similar place and feels grateful not to own gingham curtains. It’s also hinted that Aislinn might have been just the kind of girlfriend a gangster could love. The prospect of scheming between gangsters and overeager cops arises early in the story. And it suggests how abundant Conway and Moran’s potential enemies may be. Moran has wonderful wiles, but it’s Conway’s loud, fearless mouth that gives this book much of its power, as when Breslin tries to take the investigation away from her outright, telling her that she needs to calm down and bear in mind that he has a lot more experience than she does. “If I do something, I think you can take it on trust that it’s in the best interests of the investigation,” he tries to say soothingly. Knowing full well that Moran would like her to shut up and move on, Conway digs in her heels. “I’m bearing nothing in mind,” she replies. “Unless I missed your promotion, we’re on the same squad, and this is my investigation. Which means you’re the cheeky little bollix who’s getting above himself, and you’re the one who needs to bear in mind who’s who here.” Fair play to you, Detective Conway, for getting the better of whoever gets in your way.

Mural planned at Harvester Arts will ‘validate’ organization BY MATT RIEDL

mriedl@wichitaeagle.com

By month’s end, there will be a new splash of color in Old Town. From Oct. 15 to 19, internationally recognized painter James Marshall (aka Dalek) will paint a blue-green geometric mural on the facade of Harvester Arts, 215 N. Washington. “This mural is our chance to say to the city, ‘We’re here; this is an established place,’” said Kate Van Steenhuyse, co-founder and CEO of Harvester Arts. “It’s definitely more than a paper sign in the window.” THE ARTIST Marshall, who is widely known as Dalek, is considered an expert on color selection and geometric art. He started his career in graffiti and is known in skateboarding and punk subcultures as the creator of the “Space Monkey” character. About 10 years ago, he turned his focus to geometric art. His work has been featured on sneakers, various forms of apparel, a Scion car, and a Target home furnishings line. He said he “always enjoys painting outdoor spaces,” having done a similar project at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. “Interiors of buildings are one thing, but when you can do an exterior, you can really kind of transform the way the building sits in the envi-

ronment and the way people interact with the space,” Marshall said. Marshall said public art like the forthcoming mural at Harvester “brings art to everyday people.” “People don’t understand how art can affect their lives until they see it in public spaces,” he said. “It’s much different to go to a gallery or a museum and see it in those very sterile environments, but when you drive by a building – they’re all gray, brick-red or brown. I’ve always found that’s not reflective of society. It’s just blandness – it needs more energy. “I’ve found that, when I paint outdoor murals, when people drive by or walk by, they’re excited by it. They’re energized by it. As an artist, if I can affect the quality of somebody’s everyday life, that’s a pretty powerful thing.” ‘HOPEFULLY IT WILL GET THEM TALKING’ The mural, in addition to providing a new piece of public art in Old Town,

will also serve a practical purpose for Harvester. It will let the general public know where the gallery is physically located. The building has no signs, save a paper printout taped to its window. The mural, Van Steenhuyse said, will “shout to people that walk by that there’s something creative happening here.” Before moving to the Washington space, Harvester operated above the old Bluebird Arthouse in Delano, which closed in 2014. It didn’t have a permanent home until it moved to 215 N. Washington in March of 2015. Beal said settling down in Old Town has been ideal – “we didn’t want to be on Commerce Street, because there’s already so much happening down there,” said Kristin Beal, co-founder and chief operating officer of Harvester Arts. “The whole idea is to bring art to where the people are, and I feel like this mural is exactly that,” Beal said. “People work in

this neighborhood; people go out – they’re walking from Mort’s to Joe’s and they’re not thinking of contemporary art. Then they look at this and they’re like, ‘Whoa, what is that?’ “They might hate it but they’re going to notice it and, hopefully, it will get them talking.” WHAT IS HARVESTER ARTS? On a recent weekday, crews spent a majority of the day power-washing the exterior of Harvester’s building to prep for the painting of the mural. Inside, Van Steenhuyse and Beal prepped for a panel discussion they were hosting at the space that evening. The progress Harvester has made as an organization since moving to the space on Washington has been impressive. It regularly invites nationally known artists to Wichita to complete twoweek residencies. In addition to creating new pieces, the artist spends that time getting to know

the city, hanging out with locals and having discussions about art. It’s the personal interaction that Harvester affords that makes it unique, Van Steenhuyse said. “We wanted to do something that was showing artists you might see at (the Wichita Art Museum) or the Ulrich, but you get to hang out with them and you can chat with them,” she said. “I didn’t expect it to be such a love fest, so to speak – we were just excited to do something experimental in town.” Harvester then pairs local artists and creatives to its resident artists to create what it calls “satellite exhibitions.” The local artists create pieces in response to the work the resident artist performed. That concept – which few organizations in the country currently do – enables artists “to have a historical significance in real-time,” Beal said. “Typically that doesn’t happen to living artists unless you’re super-famous,” Beal said. “We

designed the program and we weren’t really thinking about the resident artists. We were thinking about local artists and wanting to be able to provide them with networking.” The fact that Harvester, in the short time it has existed, has attracted national names like Marshall, Robyn O’Neil, Wayne White and James Trotter, speaks to the quality of its programming. “To have artists calling us back, which has happened, wanting to bring their projects to Wichita – that means Wichita is an arts destination and that’s phenomenal,” Beal said. “I didn’t imagine that we would have that sort of impact as quickly as we have, but it definitely puts wind in our sails.” Matt Riedl: 316-268-6660, @RiedlMatt

Adrian’s Restaurant has a new lunch buffet offering a vareity of Lebanese specials.

Where to eat lunch in Wichita when you have a big appetite BY DENISE NEIL

dneil@wichitaeagle.com

It’s the lunch hour, and you have hummus on the brain. But by the time you get a seat, order, eat and pay, you’re late getting back to the office. Many local restaurant owners sympathize with you, and recently, several of them have added lunch buffets that offer both culinary variety and lunchhour speediness. The latest is Adrian’s Restaurant at 2121 N. Rock Road. Last weekend, owner George Matta introduced a new daily lunch buffet that offers several of his Mediterranean specialties, including hummus and kefta kebob. “In big cities, this is very

popular,” he said. “In places like Dallas and Chicago, they have these lunch buffets where people come in and out very fast because they don’t have very much time to wait for the food then wait for the server then wait to be cashed out.” Here’s a look at some of the restaurants that have recently begin offering weekday lunch buffets: Adrian’s Cafe, 2121 N. Rock Road: Diners can still order from the menu if they choose, but they now also can load their plates from a lunch buffet which includes a rotating list of specialties. It’ll always be stocked with Lebanese favorites like hummus, tabouli and baba ganoush and will also frequently have items like

kefta kebab, open-faced shawarma sandwiches and gyro. It’ll also have items like fried tilapia, beef stroganoff, scrambled eggs with veggies and a selection of desserts. Matta is offering his buffet daily, and on Sundays he’ll add more traditional breakfast items like biscuits and gravy. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The price is $11.99 on weekdays and $14.99 on weekends. Byblos, 3088 W. 13th St.: This Mediterranean restaurant just got new owners after 27 years in business, and they’ve added a lunch buffet to the offerings. Rania Taha and her husband, Bashar Mahanweh, also still offer

the full menu during lunch, but customers also can choose an all-you-caneat Mediterranean buffet that offers soup, a vegetarian dish, hummus, Greek salad and pita bread as well as rotating dishes like moussaka, kefta, baked chicken and more. It’s offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and is $8.99 a person. Caesar’s Table Restaurant, 125 N. Market Douglas: This restaurant relocated in July from the hidden mezzanine level of Market Centre at 155 N. Market to a firstfloor space at 125 N. Market. It’s owned by Sam Kuns and has entrances from Market street and from the 125 N. Market building’s lobby. The restaurant offers a menu of sandwiches and salads but also has a daily buffet stocked with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie and a pasta bar. On Sundays, there’s no pasta bar but breakfast items are added. It’s served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays through Fridays, and the buffet costs $12 on weekdays and $14.95 on Sundays. Kababs east, 3101 N. Rock Road: In November of last year, west-side Indian restaurant Kababs added an east location with a massive buffet. The restaurant sits just behind Jimmie’s Diner near 29th and Rock and has more dining room space than the original. It serves a daily lunch buffet that offers not only Indian favorites like tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala but also Mediterranean dishes like hummus, tabouli and kabobs. Both the east and west Kababs (which is at 756 N. Tyler) serve a lunch buffet from SEE LUNCH, 10C

CANINE-FRIENDLY WICHITA RESTAURANT WILL OPEN SOON The new Fetch Bistro, a dog-friendly restaurant, is about to open at 7718 E. 37th St. North, in the former Pacific Coast Pizza spot. It’s owned by Egg Crate Cafe owners Greg and Pamela Buss, and it also will focus on breakfast. A sign on the front door of the business says its grand opening will be on Saturday, Oct. 22, though Greg Buss said that date is tentative until inspections are complete. People can dine inside on home-style breakfast and lunch favorites, or they can bring Spot and choose a seat on the spacious patio. Dog treats also will be on the menu. The restaurant will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. The grand opening announcement posted on the door also invites future customers to post photos on the Fetch Facebook page showing them with their dog. Those who do will qualify for a buy-one-get-one-free special when the restaurant opens. If you check it out, you’ll see that I’m leading by example.

What would you like to do with this?’” Pop art, as most people know and recognize it, was born in the late 1950s in the United States. It is characterized by its bold colors inspired by comic strips, advertising and film/television. It plays off of consumer culture and, namely, advertising. “I really wanted to do a

pop art show, but pop art is well-covered territory, obviously, so I was really thinking about how can we do this a little differently,” Volpe said. “We’re showing you a little bit different images from pop artists.” Warhol, one of the most well-recognized pop artists, came to be known for his multi-colored portrait of Marilyn Monroe, as well as his paintings both of an unassuming banana and a Campbell’s tomato soup can. At “Sticky, Shiny,

Smooth: Pop Art and the Senses,” some of Warhol’s lesser-known works – namely, his “Gems” series depicting various precious gemstones – are on display. Some of the most intriguing pieces in the exhibit are sculptures by Claes Oldenburg – perhaps best known regionally for the “Shuttlecocks” installation outside of Kansas City’s NelsonAtkins Museum of Art.

The idea, Volpe said, is to challenge the viewer’s perception of these objects. “It’s just trying to make you realize you don’t know everything about pop art,” Volpe said. “You might think you do, but you don’t, and that’s fun – it’s more to learn and more to enjoy about an artistic style that all of us already do enjoy.” Matt Riedl: 316-268-6660, @RiedlMatt

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

ACES ON BRIDGE By Bobby Wolff Dear Mr. Wolff: You recently raised the issue of the many names given to various modern doubles. Isn’t the first requirement to agree when penalty doubles apply? Beyond that, any double that is not a conventional alertable call should not even need a name — partner can simply work out what it must mean in the context of the auction. — Monkee Mike, Fayetteville, N.C. ANSWER: Up to a point, I agree. But some doubles (Snapdragon doubles to show the fourth suit) may be counterintuitive, and do require detailed agreement. Even the simple responsive double isn’t entirely straightforward. A relatively modern expression of “you’ll recognize it when you hear it” is otherwise not too far from the truth. Dear Mr. Wolff: I was reading about the Vanderbilt Trophy recently. Was the donor connected to the commodore of the same name? — Lost Louis, Springfield, Mass. ANSWER: Harold Vanderbilt was a famous bridge player, and a great-grandson of the commodore. He devised and codified the rules of bridge 100 years ago and presented the trophy that bears his name, as well as playing the game at the top level. He lived to a ripe old age and died in 1970. Dear Mr. Wolff: When partner sets up a game force with the fourth suit, which takes precedence: raising partner or bidding no-trump? When I held SPADES A-Q-3-2, HEARTS Q-5-3, DIAMONDS K-10, CLUBS J-9-4-2, I opened one club and responded one spade to my partner’s one-diamond call. He then bid two hearts, and I wasn’t sure what to focus on next. — Pigling Bland, San Luis Obispo, Calif. ANSWER: First things first: I might have bid one no-trump on my second turn, knowing partner either didn’t have spades or would bid them on his next turn. That said, I’d definitely bid two no-trump next. Diamonds can wait, and when in doubt, the more economical action leaves more room to explore. Dist. by Universal Uclick for UFS

‘Great Pumpkin’ rises out of country’s corn mazes BY MELINDA SCHNYDER

Eagle correspondent

“There are three things that I’ve learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin.” – Linus Forgive us, Linus, but on this 50th anniversary of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” we have to discuss where readers might see the Great Pumpkin rise from a corn maze near them. Peanuts Worldwide and farmers at 90 locations across the United States and Canada this month debuted corn mazes custom-designed to celebrate the golden anniversary of the animated Halloween classic that premiered on CBS in October 1966. The special follows the “Peanuts” gang celebrating Halloween while Linus spends the night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to rise from his pumpkin patch and deliver toys to the world’s deserving children. “The ‘Great Pumpkin’ and cornfield mazes are

two of the world’s greatest fall traditions, eagerly anticipated by fans every single year, and we’re so excited to bring them together for this landmark anniversary,” Jill Schulz, daughter of “Peanuts” creator Charles M. Schulz, said in a news release. “It’s only fitting that we should find a tribute that’s both joyful and visually compelling, just as my father’s characters have been for more than 65 years.” The mazes invited to use the comic strip-inspired designs range in size from 4 to 40 acres. The closest to Wichita is Gary’s Berries & Corn Maze, 8 miles east of Topeka. Owner Gary Starr carved into a 5-acre cornfield Snoopy as the World War I flying ace ready for takeoff on his doghouse. Gary’s Berries started offering mazes in 2000 and while they no longer offer you-pick berries, they kept the name since everyone in the area recognized it. In addition to the “Peanuts” maze, there is an 8-acre square maze

A general admission fee of $10.95 includes everything except pony rides, a corn train, pumpkins and food. “We grill burgers and brats and we cut our own curly fries,” Starr said. “We also sell pumpkin doughnuts, kettle corn, fudge and more.” The maze is open 5 to 10 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 30. One of the largest farms in the country chosen by Peanuts Worldwide is three hours south of Wichita. The 38-acre Maize at Reding Farm in Chick-

asha, Okla., is about 40 miles southwest of Oklahoma City in Chickasaw Country. To put that in perspective, the largest corn maze in Kansas is 15 acres at Bergmann’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Haysville. Nancy and Jerry Reding, owners of Reding Farm, were starting to brainstorm ideas for this year’s design when they were contacted about the “Peanuts” project. Nancy Reding said they were given a set of images depicting scenes from the TV special they could choose from to

Farm, on 25 acres in Kearney, Mo., just north of Kansas City .......................................................

create a unique design with their partners at The MAiZE Inc., a cornfield maze consulting and design business. They used six of the images to carve 10 miles of walkways into their cornfields. There is Snoopy, Linus in a pumpkin patch holding a welcome sign for the Great Pumpkin, Schroeder playing the piano and three of the characters in their Halloween costumes, including Charlie Brown in a sheet with holes in it. The Redings have the acreage to offer three regular mazes (short, medium and hard) and a haunted maze available in the evenings, one maze used for a regular hayride and one used for a haunted hayride. Great Pumpkin artwork on the farm invites visitors to take photos next to “Peanuts” characters.

Other activities include a cow train, duck races, farm animals, lawn games, a playground, a pumpkin patch, a dairygo-’round, a concession stand and live music on Saturday nights. Reding Farm is open 6 to 10 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays and 1 to 6 p.m. Sundays. There is no cost to enter the farm; however, there are admission fees for the mazes, rides and some activities. The festivities opened Sept. 30 and run through Nov. 13 (haunted maze ends Oct. 29). “Peanuts Worldwide allowed us to show the movie one time, and we chose to use it for our opening weekend to help draw people in earlier than usual,” Nancy Reding said. “Whether they stayed for the movie or not, we had ‘Peanuts’ fans all day who told us they just loved seeing the characters.” Chickasaw Country is also home to the largest hay bale maze in Oklahoma, made of 1 million pounds of round hay bales. Outside the 3B Brown Ranch Hay Maze, a three-story hay castle offers a panoramic view of the labyrinth and educational hayrides offer a glimpse into life on the fourth-generation cattle ranch. There are kids rides and a play area filled with pedal cars, scooters, diggers, seesaws, playhouses and activities. The 3B Brown Ranch Hay Maze is open from Oct. 6 to Oct. 30 and its hours are 5 to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and 2 to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. General admission is $10 per person (3 and under free) and includes all activities as well as hot dogs, chips, drinks and s’mores.

Jayhawks lose late lead trying for major upset BY JESSE NEWELL

jnewell@wichitaeagle.com LAWRENCE

A half-hour after Kansas’ 24-23 loss to TCU on Saturday afternoon, KU coach David Beaty made his way over to his team’s new starting quarterback in the hallway at the Anderson Football Complex. Ryan Willis, wearing a white

KU sweatshirt, nodded a few times as his coach shared some final words. Beaty ended the conversation by patting him on the right shoulder. “He was just proud of me,” Willis said. “He knew the whole way he had trust in me. He could tell I trusted him.” Beaty didn’t talk about Willis’ good plays – he threw for 348 yards – or even his miscues after he made four first-half turn-

overs. That wasn’t what was most important in the moment. “He told me he loved me,” Willis said. “I love him, too.” Saturday didn’t result in a program-changing victory for KU. The Jayhawks didn’t pull off the upset as 30-point underdogs, and they also weren’t able to snap a 13-game Big 12 losing streak. SEE KU, 8D

Well-rounded K-State survives Tech attack

COMMENTARY BY BOB LUTZ

MANHATTAN

liff Kingsbury oozes offensive confidence and why not? His Texas Tech football team is a juggernaut with the football, having ranked eighth, 10th, second and first nationally on offense in Kingsbury’s first four seasons, including this one. And if you had a defense like the Red Raiders – which has ranked 84th, 122nd, 126th and 111th the past four seasons – you’d probably feel compelled to trust your offense, too. No matter what. Still, what Kingsbury did late in the third quarter will go down as offensive arrogance that well could have cost Texas Tech the game Saturday night against Kansas State at Snyder Family Stadium. On fourth and 7 from the K-State 41-yard line, and with the score tied 31-31, Kingsbury instructed the Red Raiders’ offense to go for it. Even though, mind you, quarterback Pat Mahomes had just thrown two incomplete passes. Kingsbury, a former Tech quarterback himself, likely

The 25th anniversary season allows the Wichita Thunder to reflect on the hockey franchise’s history and move forward with an identity established over two leagues and three decades. An affiliation with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators enables the Thunder to forge a reinvention based in tradition but guided by the high stakes of helping players reach the highest level. The affiliation is the Thunder’s first and is unfamiliar territory to longtime personnel such as general manager Joel Lomurno, who has worked for the team since 199394, when the team won its first of back-to-back Central Hockey League titles. New coach Malcolm Cameron is most respon-

sible for the one-year agreement with the Senators. It will affect the Thunder, now in its third ECHL season, in all facets of the organization and leaves the ECHL with one team lacking an affiliation. Wichita begins the season next Saturday at home against Tulsa. “We’re one of the oldest minor-league hockey franchises in the country,” said Lomurno, the GM since 2008. “We’ve had our identity here, and it’s been mostly as a CHL team. But we’re an ECHL team now.… Yes, we’re going to maintain our identity. “Having the Ottawa presence just adds to the luster of coming to see a game.” Former coach Kevin McClelland, whose contract wasn’t renewed for this season, had working agreements, but not official affiliations, with NHL

teams such as Tampa Bay and Philadelphia. Rarely, though, was a Thunder player promoted from Wichita, a Double-A franchise, to the Triple-A American Hockey League. With the Senators, a chance exists that a Thunder player could advance from Wichita to the NHL within the same season. It happened to two players last season with Evansville, Ottawa’s former ECHL affiliate. Mostly, though, Cameron is focusing on adding players who have the potential to advance, even if it doesn’t happen immediately. He’s stocked the roster with younger players without much ECHL experience but with the talent to play beyond Double-A. “Usually younger means guys who are in a little bit better shape, a little bit better athletically,” Cameron said. “We’ve got a

number of guys who were on NHL and American League one-way contracts last year. I think the speed difference will be one thing. We’re going to be super-aggressive and really structured in what we do.” The Ottawa connection gives the Thunder several ways to improve the roster. Sometime this week, the Senators will send up to 10 – though possibly fewer – players from Triple-A Binghamton or from NHL camp to Wichita. Ottawa-contracted players count nominally toward the salary cap, so the Thunder can and does use the remaining money to recruit and sign more sought-after players. Even players who aren’t contracted can be signed and promoted, and the added scouting presence increases that likelihood. “We’ve got a good agreement with Ottawa,” Lomurno said. “We’re working with them on the travel back and forth. There are different things that apply to player equipment. Some of the players that come from up above will come with equipment from there, as well. Players will be moving up and down throughout the season, as well.” The affiliation is new but already comfortable. Cameron speaks frequently with Ottawa front-office staff and uses the relationship to talk up his players. That won’t always be necessary, though, because Ottawa will send staff to Wichita frequently. “We have the markings of the Ottawa Senators on everything we put out,” Lomurno said. “On and off the ice, lots of things will be noticeable. But overall, it’s the fans. The fans are really excited about the affiliation. From a front-office standpoint, we’re really excited because it puts us on a level playing field with the rest of the league.”

Hurricane pushes Sprint Cup, Xfinity races to Sunday BY DAVID SCOTT

Charlotte Observer CONCORD, N.C.

For most NASCAR drivers, news that Saturday’s Bank of America 500 has been postponed until Sunday could have been worse. They could have been anywhere else but Charlotte. “It’s easier with the rain and weather, because this is where so many drivers live,” Brad Keselowski said. “If there’s one to do it, this is it.” The race, which has been rescheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday, was postponed due to rain coming

from Hurricane Matthew. It will be followed by the

Race For The Cure 300 Xfinity race, which was

also postponed from Friday. It’s the second consecutive weekend there will be a Cup-Xfinity doubleheader. Last week’s scheduled Xfinity race at Dover (Del.) International Speedway was rained out Saturday and run Sunday before the Cup race. “Wet weekends, you can get sluggish and (gain) like 100 pounds eating,” Keselowski said. “You can forget to take care of yourself. You can tighten up. But that’s part of being a race car driver.” Keselowski said his car is already set up for Sunday. Because of the likelihood of the rain and a potential postponement, he practiced and qualified Friday in race trim. “So I think we’re going to be fine in that capacity,” said Keselowski, who will start 20th. Kevin Harvick will start on the pole, with Alex Bowman starting second.

WSU NOTES

Women’s basketball players pick best roles BY PAUL SUELLENTROP

psuellentrop@wichitaeagle.com

Jody Adams-Birch wanted to know what her players did best on the basketball court. So she asked them. “They labeled what their strength is, what their No. 1 shot is, what their No. 2 shot is,” she said. “They’re not pigeonholed, in that, ‘I have to bang, I have to use the on-ball screen coming this way.’ It really gives them some freedom to work to get to do what they’re really great at.” Adams-Birch, Wichita State’s women’s coach, asked those questions as part of implementing a new offense in the spring, one that borrows from the dribble-drive offense and rewards penetration and outside shooting. She wanted her players to think about how they fit as a basketball player, not only as guard, forward or center. Driver. Shooter. Rimfinisher. Play-maker. Three-point shooter, etc. The Shockers chose a No. 1 and No. 2 description to start fitting into the offense. “Understanding your role and how you fit into the offense,” guard Dia-

mond Lockhart said. “I’m an assist-leader first and a driver second. You’re not concentrating on doing everything — you’re concentrating on your role and what you have to do.” The Shockers started practice last week and continued work on the offense that started in the spring. Adams-Birch wants to get more spacing and use driving to free up shooters and take advantage of the trend to call more fouls. “Our guards are really fast and we’re able to make the defense help,” Lockhart said. “Then we have our shooters like (Tamera) Lee and Kayla (Williams) and Marija (Pacar) … we kick it to them. Three-point shot and we’re going.” The approach also takes away some of the decision-making, which Adams-Birch hopes will cut down on turnovers. The Shockers led the Missouri Valley Conference with an average of 18.8 turnovers a game last season and their turnovermargin of negative-1.43 ranked ninth. WSU committed 20 or more turnovers in 13 games and lost nine of them, five by single digits. When the Shockers think about improving on last season’s 7-22 record — after winning MVC titles in 2013, 2014 and 2015 — reducing turnovers is a must. “You want them to play as frustration-free as possible,” Adams-Birch said.

“They like it. They like the fast pace.” Adams-Birch also wants more possessions. Last season, WSU averaged around 50 possessions on its way to scoring an MVC-low 52.8 points a game. Adams-Birch is aiming for 70-75 possessions. Guard TaQuandra Mike, who described herself as a pentrator first and a shooter second, sees more movement and more opportunities for breaks. “It’s not a stagnant offense,” she said. “It’s more up and down and you’re moving more. Instead of stalling, we’re actually moving the ball. Higher tempo.” Harden heads to Israel — Former Shocker women’s player Alex Harden recently ended her second season with the

Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA and is on her way to Israel to join Hapoel Zichron/Magan. She regards her European season, which lasts into the spring, as a chance to improve her game and play a bigger role than she did for the Mercury. Last winter, she averaged 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds for a team in Portugal. “It’s like an off-season where you’re also getting game experience,” she said. “It’s good to get confidence back.” Harden, a 2015 Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America for the Shockers, played in 28 games for the Mercury and started one. She averaged 7.5 minutes, down from 12.2 in 2015, and 1.4 points. Phoenix finished the season 16-18 with a

3-0 loss to the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx in the semifinals of the playoffs. Her plan is to return to the Mercury for a third season in 2017. For two seasons, she worked on her job as defender. Her job on offense is to move the ball and find open teammates. Her shots come when defenses leave her open to guard teammates. “My second season was an overall great learning experience,” she said. “I learned more in-game reads, being able to fit better on both offense and defense.” Guarding athletes such as Minnesota’s Maya Moore and New York’s Sugar Rodgers taught her the importance of hard work and positioning. She needs to force those players away from their preferred shooting areas by making it hard for them to catch the ball. “It’s doing my work earlier since there’s some players I can’t physically contest their shots,” she said. “In college, you

could take someone off their right hand or off their left hand. Here, they can go to it because it’s so dominant.” Harden plans to visit Wichita next summer and hold a Harden Basketball Academy for youngsters, something she did in July in her hometown of Springfield, Ill. Worth noting — Tickets for Wichita State’s men’s basketball game against Oklahoma in Oklahoma City go on sale on Oct. 18 through Ticketmaster. The Oklahoma City All Sports Association will release prices and other details on Oct. 17. … WSU will sell used athletic gear, including jerseys, shorts, bats, shoes, helmets and more from all sports, from 8 a.m.-noon on Saturday (Oct. 15) at the Koch Arena practice gym.

Ball gets another shot at state title with Ark City’s No. 1 doubles team of Kelsie Burr and Chassidy Weathers. Both teams breezed into the final, but Baldwin and House won a tiebreaker in the first set and rolled 6-1 in the second. Their reward will be to face Burr and Weathers, as well as other regional qualifiers, for the state title. Kapaun nearly had a first and a third in doubles with its No. 2 team of Livia Ciccolari-Micaldi and Ashlyne Powers. But the Bulldogs’ Bailey Benton and Beth Walker forced a deciding third set and took third 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

Eagle correspondent GODDARD

After finishing second to a teammate two years, Andover senior Grace Ball will get another chance at a state girls tennis championship. But she will be the Trojans’ lone competitor next week in Arkansas City. Andover, a threetime 5A champion, needed to have more qualifiers to shoot for a fourth straight 5A title. Ball demolished her competition Saturday at the Class 5A regional, dropping one game all day – in the final to Bishop Carroll sophomore Brittney Steven. Ball won the match 6-0, 6-1 and can look ahead to state. “It’s definitely something I’ve been looking forward to since freshman year,” Ball said. “That’s been my goal since the beginning of high school tennis for me.” She said she had hoped to bring some teammates with her. “I’m definitely disappointed with the (team) results,” Ball said. “I know that our team has worked really hard, and I know we’ve been state champs the last few years, but I’m still really

proud of them still for the work I’ve seen. (Saturday) was a hard draw for them, but I’m still definitely proud of them as my teammates.” She said the tough regional would be good preparation for state. “We have all the tough teams,” she said. “It’s crazy – it’s a crazy regional. I definitely think we have the toughest regional with our team and the toughest draw.” Trojans coach Jessica Dibble, Ball’s sister, said Grace had a strategy of

relying on her power. “Her game plan was to just go out there and be really aggressive, and I think her experience now as a senior showed through,” Dibble said. “Grace has grown physically in terms of height and strength, and she has grown mentally out there. When she’s up in a match, she doesn’t let her foot off the pedal.” Steven, who has yet to win this season in three matches against Ball, said she’d like a fourth shot at state.

“Hopefully, we’ll see each other in the finals at state,” Steven said. “I want another chance; maybe get some more games.” Ark Citycaptured the team title with 16 points – two better than Kapaun Mount Carmel, which – as it did last week at the City League tournament – got nearly all of its scoring from doubles with first- and fourth-place finishes. The doubles first- and third-place matches paired teams from Ark

City and Kapaun. Kapaun sophomore Eleanor Baldwin and junior Kelly House added a regional title to the City League championship they won a week ago, but it wasn’t easy. Baldwin and House were on a collision course

Dodgers-Nats rained out BY STEPHEN WHYNO

Associated Press WASHINGTON

Persistent rain led Major League Baseball to postpone Game 2 of the NL Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals to Sunday afternoon. Afternoon rain that intensified as Hurricane Matthew moved up the coast and a forecast of “100 percent certainty” for precipitation until at least mid-evening forced the decision, Commissioner Rob Manfred said. LA leads the best-of-five series after a 4-3 victory Friday night. Manfred said he expected the weather to be better for a 12:08 p.m. start Sunday at Nationals Park. It’s supposed to be 61 degrees and windy. Left-hander Rich Hill

Dodgers relief pitcher Grant Dayton fields a ball as he works out with teammates at Nationals Park on Saturday in Washington. Game 2 of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Nationals was rained out.

(12-5, 2.12 ERA) will start Game 2 for the Dodgers against right-hander Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83). Manfred said the rest of the series will proceed as

scheduled with Game 3 Monday afternoon at Dodger Stadium – the rain wiped out the travel day to the West Coast. Nationals second base-

man Daniel Murphy said players came in prepared to play but was glad the decision was made quickly. “Hats off to Major League Baseball for canceling this early,” Murphy said. “I’m sure they didn’t want either pitcher to get out there and get caught in a situation where you lose one of them, especially in a short series like this.” The postponement means the teams will have to play and fly Sunday. “We do East-West travel like this during the regular season,” Manfred said. “It’s not ideal but doable.” It’s expected to be Dodgers righty Kenta Maeda against Nationals lefty Gio Gonzalez in Game 3. Manager Dave Roberts said lefty Julio Urias would start Game 4, if necessary, which would leave ace Clayton Kershaw available for a possible Game 5.

KANSAS WESLEYAN 45, FRIENDS 42

Coyotes come back to top Falcons BY DAVID RUNG

Wichita Eagle correspondent

When Friends tied it with less than five minutes to go in Saturday’s KCAC football matchup, Michael Pursley was getting ready. When Kansas Wesleyan was called for a penalty that backed it up to the Friends 40-yard line, KWU’s junior kicker wasn’t feeling quite as confident in his chances at the go-ahead field goal. The Coyotes picked up 18 more yards, though, and Pursley, who missed his first extra-point try of the afternoon, drilled a 39-yarder that earned his team a 45-42 victory at Adair-Austin Stadium. “It’s incredible,” said Pursley, who made his next four extra-point attempts after the miss before making the gamewinner. “That’s the first time that’s ever happened for me. I was prepared for it all game, especially the last drive we were having. We got that penalty that backed us up to where it’d be like a 55-yarder, but then we got a little back and we just stepped up and knocked it through.”

The field goal was the culmination of a comeback for No. 14 Kansas Wesleyan, which looked outmatched for portions of the middle of the game, when Friends outscored the Coyotes 35-7 to seemingly take control. Instead, it was KWU quarterback Wesley Geisler who took over. The sophomore, who was sacked three times and hit and harassed many more than that by a punishing defensive line for Friends, threw six touchdown passes for the normally runheavy Coyote offense. “Their D line was probably one of the best we’ll play against all year,” said Geisler, who completed 23 of 39 passes for 359 yards. “Across the board they were physical, aggressive and just got after us. But the O-line blocked really well, and when I had to run out of the pocket, the receivers extended plays and I was able to deliver the ball under pressure.” Geisler, the offensive line and those receivers were able to orchestrate three touchdown drives in just more than 10 minutes of game time spanning the third and fourth quarters

Fort Hays tops Pittsburg State Eagle staff

Fort Hays State’s football team won at Pittsburg State for a second straight time — a feat last accomplished in 1972 — after a 54-41 final score Saturday that included a combined 1,102 yards of offense. Fort Hays’ Jacob Mezera completed 31 of 38 passes for 446 yards, including five touchdown passes. Add his team-high 62 rushing yards and his 508 yards of offense set a Tigers record by 31 yards. He added a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter as Fort Hays improved to 5-1 and stayed in second place in the MIAA.

Smith eager to gash teams with rushing BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR

tpaylor@kcstar.com KANSAS CITY, MO.

Early last week, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was casually watching a football game in which he saw the quarterback take off and scramble. For a fleeting moment, it felt like a shot to the gut. “I’m like gah, I think I have like zero rushing yards in three games,” said Smith, who actually had 14. “In three games, I’ve got like nothing. … I’m like bummed, I can’t believe that in three games I feel like I’ve been shut out.” The Chiefs’ 43-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday didn’t provide any relief in this area, either, as he finished with 2 yards. Overall, the Chiefs sit at 2-2 during the bye week, so things can always be worse. But there’s little doubt that Smith’s inability to use his legs — which was a major weapon for him during last season’s 11-game winning streak — has played a significant role in the 23rd-ranked offense’s struggles over the first month of the season. Through four games, Smith has rushed 10 times for 16 yards, a meager 1.6 yards per carry. This comes after a 2015 campaign in which he rushed 84 times for 498 yards — the third-most in the league among quarterbacks — and a sterling 5.9 yards-per-carry average.

SHANE KEYSER Kansas City Star

Last season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith outran Oakland Raiders defensive end Shelby Harris and picked up a first down during a game.

What’s more, Smith also rushed for 30 first downs a year ago — again, the thirdmost in the league behind Carolina’s Cam Newton and Seattle’s Russell Wilson — but has only rushed for one this year. So what gives? “We certainly have seen some QB spy on third downs,” Smith explained. “The Jets were very conscious of it when they played coverage. When they weren’t rushing, they kept an element there that was just kind of spying me.” Chiefs coach Andy Reid similarly noted that if teams want to take away Smith’s rushing, they have to do a better job throwing. “It’s not a lack of him trying to do it or wanting to do it or anything like that,” Reid said of Smith’s meager rushing efforts thus far. “I’d probably say the throws are there.”

But sometimes they aren’t, and that, Reid said, is because of another league-wide trend that Smith alluded to that has contributed to his lack of running. “One of the things this year with teams around the league — not that it hasn’t been in the past — is the rush three, drop eight,” Reid said. “You’ve got to find holes, shoot those holes.” When teams rush three defenders and drop eight into coverage, teams can have success with traditional running plays. That, in part, explains why the Chiefs are averaging 4.3 yards per carry, the eighth-best mark in the league, though their 23rd overall ranking in rushing yards (90.2 per game) suggests they aren’t doing it enough. However, running the ball consistently is not

always an option in a given game, depending on the situation ... like when you’re down by 22 in the first quarter, as the Chiefs were against the Steelers. But even co-offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is hesitant to say the increased drop-eight coverage they’ve been seeing fully explains Smith’s inability to get it going on the ground. “You see a lot of drop eight, so that’s part of it as well,” Nagy said. “But there’s still lanes there.” At the end of the day, Nagy said, the Chiefs

don’t encourage or discourage Smith from running; it’s up to the quarterback when to decide to take off. “It’s a feel thing, so that’s No. 1,” Nagy said. “So going off of that principle, if he feels like he doesn’t have it because teams are running some games with the defensive line, taking lanes away, that could be one issue. “You just have to be careful with telling him to look to run, because then he goes to look to run and it takes away from something he had in the pass (game).” But all three are optimistic Smith will find a way to get back on his game on the ground. Now that the Chiefs are a month into the season, they’ll have at least four games of solid tendencies from their upcoming opponents, which is something they can gameplan

for. And while Reid says the issue will be rectified with practice, Smith noted that in the past, a lot of his big rushing performances have come in bunches, which means some big games may eventually be on the way. “I do think it’s one of those things where, all of a sudden, you’re going to put back-to-back big games together and it brings that average back to what it’s been,” he said. The odds are on his side, too; during his previous three years as a Chief, he’s averaged 394 rushing yards per season while averaging nearly 5.7 yards per carry. Based on his history, things should move back toward the mean. “It’s just one of those things you can’t force, other than when you get a designed run,” Smith said.

KANSAS STATE 44, TEXAS TECH 38

Texas Tech’s gamble backfires BY KELLIS ROBINETT

krobinett@wichitaeagle.com MANHATTAN

Kansas State’s defense had trouble with Texas Tech on Saturday, but it didn’t feel that way when things mattered most. The Wildcats defeated the Red Raiders 44-38 in front of 51,450 at Snyder Family Stadium thanks to a pair of key fourth-down stops in the second half. They negated an evening otherwise full of explosive plays. The biggest stop occurred late in the third quarter. The score was tied at 31 and Texas Tech faced a fourth-and-7 from the K-State 41. The Red Raiders were churning out yards and the Wildcats were sputtering, so Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury decided to roll the dice and go for it instead of punting. It was a decision that caught many off guard. A punt was the smart play.

BO RADER The Wichita Eagle

K-State wide receiver Byron Pringle sprints 91 yards for a touchdown on a kickoff return late in the first half.

Then again, Texas Tech was successful on eight of its first nine third-down conversion attempts. Maybe it would work. The crowd erupted when KState defensive end Reggie Walker blew past the offensive line and sacked Patrick Mahomes for a loss of 12 yards. The Wildcats took over in excellent field position

and quickly marched downfield for a go-ahead touchdown on a two-yard run from running back Charles Jones. Then, with momentum on its side, K-State forced Texas Tech into its first three-and-out and then went ahead 41-31 on a Matthew McCrane field goal. Texas Tech then turned the ball over on downs with 4:13

remaining. The Red Raiders came back to make things interesting, but, at that moment, the game felt over. Texas Tech (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) ran circles around K-State (3-2, 1-1) for 592 yards, but those gaudy numbers meant nothing in the end. K-State was the superior team when and where it counted. That was most evident when K-State defensive back D.J. Reed intercepted a screen pass in the first quarter and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, when K-State receiver Byron Pringle returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, when K-State defensive back Duke Shelley broke up a pass into the end zone on fourth down in the third quarter and when Walker came through with his sack. Texas Tech won the stat sheet. K-State won the

game. The Wildcats flexed their muscles most in the second half, holding the Red Raiders to 10 points. But the first half was a wild display. Both teams went back and forth, hitting each other with a barrage of highlight plays and combining for one punt. Here’s how wacky things were after two quarters: Texas Tech finished with 363 yards, outgaining K-State by 190 yards, and trailed 31-28. Mahomes, the nation’s leading passer, shrugged off a shoulder injury to put on a clinic against K-State’s defense, running for three scores and hooking up with receiver Keke Coutee for a 61-yard touchdown. The Wildcats were one of the nation’s top defenses in their first four games, allowing 239.8 and 12.5 points per game, but they could do little to stop the Red Raiders early on. K-State tried to bring

extra pressure at Mahomes by blitzing as many as three linebackers on certain plays, but the strategy rarely worked. When K-State had the ball, it leaned on its running game, Jones in particular. Jones rushed for a career high 128 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Quarterback Jesse Ertz added 83 yards and a score on 10 carries. That production made up for a mediocre passing day from Ertz in which he completed 10 of 20 passes for 104 yards and hooked up with Isaiah Zuber for a touchdown pass. The Wildcats needed all the rest they could get, as they had to defend until the final play – a Hail Mary attempt from Texas Tech in which K-State linebacker Charmeachealle Moore hit Mahomes from behind before he could hurl a pass to the end zone. Texas Tech had gotten within six points on a touchdown in the final minute, then recovered an onside kick with four seconds to play. Kellis Robinett: @kellisrobinett

WILDCAT REPORT FIRST QUARTER The key: Texas Tech gained 200 yards, 93 more than K-State, but the score was tied 14-14 after 15 minutes. SECOND QUARTER The key: Byron Pringle returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, giving K-State a special teams touchdown a quarter after it scored on defense.

THIRD QUARTER The key: The only score was a field goal from Texas Tech’s Clayton Hatfield. FOURTH QUARTER The key: K-State forced Texas Tech to punt once and turn the ball over on downs. REPORT CARD Offense: C. Texas Tech might have the worst defense in the Big 12, and

K-State managed 335 yards against it. The running game was solid, but the passing game still needs work. Defense: C. No one stops Texas Tech’s offense, but K-State could have done more against the Red Raiders. Outside of a D.J. Reed interception, which was returned for a touchdown, Texas Tech moved the ball almost at will. Special Teams: A. Byron

Pringle returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and continually gave the Wildcats excellent field position. Coaching: B. Texas Tech is a difficult team to prepare for, and the coaching staff had K-State ready. The defense, in particular, remained strong willed until the end. PLAYER OF THE GAME Charles Jones. This was

Jayhawks running back Taylor Martin (24) runs into the end zone to score during the first half against TCU on Saturday in Lawrence.

KU Still, in the moments after, Beaty could sense this was a program making progress, with most of his players showing a level of buy-in needed for a rebuild to take place. “They’re showing improvement in a lot of different things,” Beaty said. “If we continue to do that, I think we’ll continue to play competitive football and give our fans something they can be proud of.” That didn’t make Saturday’s late collapse any easier. KU had a multitude of missed opportunities, and Beaty will think about one the most. In the third quarter, on a third-andgoal from inside the 1, KU running back Taylor Martin failed to trust his teammates for just an instant. Instead of running up the middle where the play was intended, he tried to juke outside, losing three yards

and forcing a field-goal attempt. “I didn’t believe in my techniques,” Martin said. “When Coach (Beaty) came back, we talked about it. It’s just staying on course and believing in the process.” There were plenty of other things that went wrong as KU failed to hold a 23-14 fourth-quarter lead. TCU quarterback Kenny Hill ran for 34 yards on a fluky play, fumbled the ball, was tackled, then got to his feet and picked up the ball before sprinting down the sideline when most of KU’s players believed the play was over. The Horned Frogs scored a touchdown two plays later. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen that,” Beaty said. “I’m not sure anybody in here has ever seen that, either.” Matthew Wyman also

missed three fourth-quarter field-goal attempts, including a 54-yarder with six seconds left that could have been the game-winner. Beaty talked to him in the locker room afterward. “I told him right there in front of everybody that I love him like I love my own children. ‘We will ride or die with you, my friend,’ ” Beaty said. “We love that guy.” After shutting down TCU’s offense all game, KU’s defense also failed to get the final stop it needed late to preserve a twopoint lead. Hill took his team 59 yards on eight plays, which set up a Brandon Hatfield 34-yard field goal that gave the Horned Frogs a 24-23 lead with 1:21 left. “We should have just made a stop on the last drive and we would have won the game,” KU cornerback Brandon Stewart said. “But hey, shoutout to TCU. They came to play.” KU nearly responded with a miracle of its own. On a fourth-and-22, the Jayhawks executed a

hook-and-ladder from Steven Sims to Bobby Hartzog for 24 yards. The play set up one final fieldgoal try, as Wyman’s final kick fluttered wide right. “We got in a position to where we could take a shot at it,” Beaty said. “As a coach, that’s really all you want.” KU’s defense, which appears to be emerging as a top group in the Big 12, had plenty of highlights. It held Hill, the nation’s third-leading passer, to 206 passing yards with three interceptions. The Jayhawks also forced four turnovers against a TCU team that had six giveaways in its first five games. “I think we’re pretty good,” Stewart said. “We’ve just got to go out there and focus and play, and when we do that, it shows.” Willis, who was named the team’s starter Monday, settled down in the second half to finish 31 for 45 for 348 yards. That came after four first-half turnovers — three interceptions and a fumble. “When my head hits the pillow,” Willis said, “my eyes aren’t going to shut.” KU (1-4, 0-2 Big 12) had progress in other areas. Receivers Sims and LaQuvionte Gonzalez flashed big-play ability with 100plus-yard games. The offensive line also had its best performance, opening up numerous holes late as the team rushed for 122 yards – its best total since Week 1. It all left Beaty “burning inside” while thinking about how a little more discipline could have helped his team to a monumental victory. “We’re moving forward,” Beaty said. “There’s a lot of things we wish we could have back, but we don’t get them back.”

JAYHAWK REPORT FIRST QUARTER The key: KU’s defense created two turnovers, with Brandon Stewart stepping in front of a Kenny Hill pass and Dorance Armstrong forcing a Hill fumble on a speed rush around the edge. KU’s offense capitalized on the second miscue, as Taylor Martin’s one-yard touchdown gave the Jayhawks their first openingquarter points since Week 1 against Rhode Island. SECOND QUARTER The key: TCU quarterback Kenny Hill wisely kept on a read-option play, sidestepping wouldbe tackler Derrick Neal before making his way to the end zone for an 18yard score. The late second-quarter score ensured TCU would head into half

FROM PAGE 1D

LUTZ thought Mahomes was due. And, really, what is seven yards to the Red Raiders? So instead of punting to attempt to pin down the Wildcats deep, Kingsbury played aggressively. It didn’t work out. K-State’s Reggie Walker chased down Mahomes for a 12-yard loss, the Wildcats went on to score the game’s next 13 points and won 44-38, although there was some late-game angst when Tech scored then recovered an onside kick with five seconds left. The Wildcats unleashed a ferocious running attack, led by senior tailback Charles Jones. And K-

FOURTH QUARTER The key: A fluke play helped TCU rally from its nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit. While scrambling on third and 12, Hill was brought down by the facemask, which drew multiple flags from the officials. He also fumbled before going down, though, and he alertly got

REPORT CARD Offense: C+. KU’s offensive line easily had its best performance of the year, opening up holes in the run game that hadn’t been there previous weeks. Receivers Steven Sims and LaQuvionte Gonzalez contributed multiple highlight-reel plays while using their speed to break off big gains. The Jayhawks still had four turnovers, though, and had too many drives stall in the red zone late when touchdowns

could have ended TCU’s hopes at a comeback. Defense: A+. Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has quietly built one of the Big 12’s best defenses. Dorance Armstrong once again provided consistent pressure. Brandon Stewart had two interceptions. The Jayhawks forced four turnovers and consistently rattled Hill, who was the nation’s third-leading passer coming in. The Jayhawks played so well it would have been tough to know that three of their top players (Daniel Wise, Joe Dineen, Marcquis Roberts) all were forced to sit out with injuries. Special teams: D. The coverage units continued to play with great energy, and Matthew Wyman boomed numerous touchbacks, but the kicking

game let KU down late. Wyman missed three fourth-quarter field-goal attempts that could have helped seal a victory. Coaching: A. KU coach David Beaty’s biggest mistake was not calling a timeout immediately after TCU’s third-down play before its late field goal, as the hesitation cost KU 19 seconds that might have helped its last-minute drive. Still, the Jayhawks played with emotion, they didn’t have many penalties and coaching decisions like switching tackles Hakeem Adeniji and D’Andre Banks and going to a base 3-3 defense all turned up gold during Saturday’s upset bid.

State coach Bill Snyder finally let quarterback Jesse Ertz use his legs. The Cats also scored touchdowns on a kick return – 99 yards by Byron Pringle – and an interception – 35 yards by D.J. Reed. On this night, at least, the Texas Tech defense wasn’t all that bad, even though K-State gashed the Red Raiders with its ground game. But Tech did force three Kansas State punts. Instead of trusting his defense to make a stand, though, Kingsbury decided he was going to win or lose with offense. And given that this is Texas Tech, you can understand why even if you disagree with the premise. The Red Raiders started throwing the football all over the place when Mike

Leach took over as coach in 2000. It took him a couple of years, but by 2002 the Red Raiders had risen from 66th to 33rd to fourth in total offense. It was a fun, gun-slinging style of offense that went over well in Lubbock. Fans flocked to see Texas Tech rip off huge chunks of yardage. Here’s the thing, though. Even with all this offense, the Red Raiders have had only one doubledigit win season. That was in 2008, when Tech was 11-2 with the nation’s fourth-best offense. Leach never had a losing season during 10 seasons at Texas Tech, but he never was able to break through and make the Red Raiders a national power, either. They were fun, they

were entertaining, they earned Leach a profile on “60 Minutes” for his innovative offensive ways. But that other side of the football, defense, has always been an issue. It wasn’t terrible under Leach and ranking somewhere in the middle was good enough to win eight or nine games a season. And that’s what Tech almost always did under Leach – win eight or nine games. Since Leach left for Washington State in 2010, though, the Red Raiders have gotten significantly worse on defense, first under Tommy Tuberville and now under Kingsbury. Which explains why, despite the still-dynamic offense, the Red Raiders are 43-38 after going 8543 under Leach.

Bill Snyder does things differently at Kansas State. Coaching in his 300th game, and having just turned 77, Snyder stresses a balance between offense, defense and special teams that has served him and the Wildcats well. Snyder, who received a chorus of “Happy Birthday” from Kansas State’s students as he left the field, would never take the kind of gamble Kingsbury took Saturday. That’s because he’s built the Wildcats into a three-dimensional threat and it was all in the mix during the win over Texas Tech. The defense gave up 529 passing yards to Mahomes, but sacked the Tech QB three times and made him rush some oth-

with a 14-10 lead. THIRD QUARTER The key: After feeling pressure around him, KU quarterback Ryan Willis decided to run, showing surprising speed as he ducked under one defender, evaded another, then spun off two TCU players for a 21-yard touchdown run. The ensuing extra point gave KU a 23-14 lead late in the third quarter.

up, picked up the football, then ran 34 yards down the sideline to the KU 40 after most Jayhawks thought the play was dead. The penalty tacked on 15 extra yards, and TCU scored a touchdown two plays later to pull within two.

two of the biggest plays, coming down with a pair of interceptions as part of a four-forced-turnover day for the Jayhawks. REASON TO HOPE The Jayhawks’ defense, offensive line and receivers all showed progress in a losing effort. REASON TO MOPE KU found a way to lose a close game it was in position to win. Missed field goals, dropped passes and even a quicker timeout could have changed the outcome. LOOKING AHEAD The Jayhawks will play at Baylor at 2:30 p.m. next Saturday. — JESSE NEWELL

PLAYER OF THE GAME Brandon Stewart had

er throws. Don’t get me wrong, Mahomes was amazing, completing 45 of 62 pass attempts. But when he needed it most, he threw three consecutive incomplete passes at a time when the game was make or break. The Red Raiders overwhelmed K-State offensively, with 592 yards to 335. But the team in purple strutted off the field with a win because it’s the one that can hurt an opponent in multiple ways. With Texas Tech, it’s all about offense. This is what you get when your coach has faith in only one side of the football. Bob Lutz: 316-268-6597, @boblutz

Austin Allen completed 23 of 46 passes for 365 yards and three touchdowns for Arkansas (4-2, 0-2), but he was intercepted three times by Alabama’s Minkah Fitzpatrick, including one for a touchdown. Fitzpatrick had 114 yards in interception returns. No. 2 Ohio State 38, Indiana 17 — J.T. Barrett ran for 137 yards and a touchdown and passed for another. Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) was forced to rely mostly on its ground game, which accounted for 290 yards, and some tough play by its defense – including a critical fourth-quarter stop on its own 4 following Barrett’s inception – to fend off the Hoosiers (3-2, 1-1). Ohio State’s defense held when it had to, also forcing Indiana to turn the ball over on downs on the Hoosiers’ own 33 with 5:22 left and the Buckeyes leading 31-17. Five plays later, Barrett hit Dontre Wilson with a 37yard pass to put the game out of reach. No. 4 Michigan 78, Rutgers 0 — The visiting Wolverines rushed for 481 yards — 6.6 yards per carry — en route to a Big Ten victory. Karan Higdon, Ty Isaac, Jabrill Peppers and Khalid Hill had two scores each for Michigan (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten). Rutgers was held to two first downs and was was 0 for 17 on third-down conversions. No. 8 Texas A&M 45, No. 9 Tennessee 38 — Trevor Knight had a 1-yard touchdown run in the second overtime as host A&M withstood another late Tennessee rally. After Knight bulled in for the touchdown, Armani Watts intercepted Joshua Dobbs’ pass on the next play for Tennessee’s seventh turnover to end the game. Knight threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 110 yards and three more scores. The Volunteers (5-1, 2-1 SEC) had rallied from double-digit deficits to win four of their last five games, including last week’s last-play victory over Georgia. They trailed by 21 points in the third quarter Saturday thanks to six turnovers before tying it on Alvin Kamara’s 18-yard touchdown reception with 41 seconds left. Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0) had a chance to win it in regulation, but Daniel LaCamera’s 38-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. No. 25 Virginia Tech 34, No. 17 North Carolina 3 — Jerod Evans threw for two scores and ran for another to help Virginia Tech beat host North Carolina in heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Matthew. Sam Rogers and Chris Cunningham had scoring catches and the Hokies (4-1, 2-0 ACC) dominated the Tar Heels (4-2, 2-1) in a surprising romp. USC 21, No. 21 Colorado 17 — Tyler Petite caught his second touchdown pass from Sam Darnold with 8:28 to play, and host Southern California overcame four turnovers to beat Colorado. Daniel Imatorbhebhe also caught a TD pass from Darnold, who passed for 358 yards and three scores along with two fumbles and an interception. USC (3-3, 2-2 Pac-12) shredded one of the nation’s top defenses for 539 yards.

Navy weathers sloppy Houston BY DAVID GINSBURG

Associated Press ANNAPOLIS, MD.

With every Navy touchdown, No. 6 Houston saw its hope of playing for the national championship become a little more distant. After the Cougars had their quest for an unbeaten season dashed in a 46-40 loss Saturday, all they could do is shrug.

Houston committed three turnovers, gave up two points on a poor snap in punt formation and simply couldn’t find a way to stop Navy’s triple option. “We didn’t play very well in any phase of the game and we still had a chance to win it there in the fourth quarter,” Cougars coach Tom Herman said. “You’re not going to win very many games against really good teams

on the road turning the ball over three times, one for a touchdown, snapping the ball over the punter’s head and letting them rush for 300 yards.” Will Worth ran for 115 yards and threw for two touchdowns Saturday to help the Midshipmen (4-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) pull off the upset. Navy hadn’t defeated a Top 10 team since 1984, when it topped No. 2 South Carolina in Anna-

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Sooners bury Horns with big pass plays Associated Press

Baker Mayfield first donned the giant gold cowboy hat – awarded to the winner of the Red River rivalry – then ran around the field with the Oklahoma Sooners flag. The Oklahoma quarterback who grew up in the Austin area also made three long sprints down the field during the game. Those were to the end zone to celebrate touchdown passes to Dede Westbrook as the 20thranked Sooners held on to win 45-40 over the beleaguered Texas Longhorns on Saturday in the annual game Mayfield knows so much about. “It’s special to me. Very special,” Mayfield said. “I’ve been waiting a long time to actually come away with a win against these guys.” Westbrook set a singlegame Sooners record with 232 receiving yards on 10 catches, including three TDs longer than 40 yards. “He’s got track-type speed,” Mayfield said. After their 71-yard scoring hookup in the second quarter, the longest TD pass by the Sooners (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) against Texas, Mayfield sprinted along the Oklahoma sideline, then toward the middle of the field to acknowledge crimson-clad fans on the opposite side of the stadium before going to the end zone to meet up with Westbrook. They celebrated again after TDs of 47 and 42 yards in the third quarter. “You just look at the plays we gave up,” Charlie Strong said, the embattled third-year Texas coach who has taken over calling the defensive plays. “You can’t give up home runs thrown over your head.” Mayfield lost to Texas

as a freshman at Texas Tech in 2013 before transferring to Oklahoma, where he sat out a year before losing as the Sooners starter last October. This time, he completed 22 of 31 passes for 390 yards and overcame two interceptions in the first quarter, and a fumble in the final minute that his big right tackle Bobby Evans recovered. Samaje Perine added 214 yards and two touchdowns rushing on 35 carries as Oklahoma piled up 672 total yards in the highest-scoring game in the history of the rivalry. Texas (2-3, 0-2) led after two long TD passes by freshman quarterback Shane Buechele in the first 41⁄2 minutes after halftime. But Oklahoma went ahead for good when a Mayfield 4-yard TD run made it 28-27. While Oklahoma had four turnovers, Texas turned those into three points. “Very fortunate to lose the turnover battle the way we did and still win,” Sooners coach Bob Stoops said.

Oklahoma State 38, Iowa State 31 — James Washington caught eight passes for 152 yards and

polis. When it was over, streams of the Navy Brigade stormed the field to surround the players, most of them jumping for joy. Navy pulled off the win with a precise attack that shredded the nation’s top-ranked rushing defense. Coming off a 28-14 loss to Air Force, the Midshipmen came in as a 17-point underdog. “Sometimes you get your butt whipped and you move on,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “I’m just so proud of the way our guys responded after such a difficult, heart-wrenching, gutblowing loss last week.” Houston’s sloppiest performance of the season came in a driving rain. The Cougars (5-1, 2-1) gave up more points than in their previous four games combined. Navy finished with 306 rushing yards, many of them on pitches from Worth as he sprinted laterally along the line. Houston was allowing only 42 yards on the ground per game. Though the game was a sellout, thousands of fans failed to show because of the weather. Those who took their seats realized an upset was possible after first half ended tied at 20. Navy scored three touchdowns in the third quarter – two of them on passes by Worth, the other on Josiah Powell’s 34-yard interceptions return – to take a 41-27 lead.

two touchdowns and Oklahoma State overcame a 17-point second-half deficit. Washington put the Cowboys ahead for good when he caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Mason Rudolph with 3:40 remaining. Rudolph passed for 351 yards and four touchdowns for Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1). It was the second consecutive late collapse for Iowa State (1-5, 0-3). The Cyclones were trying to bounce back after a heartbreaking last-second 45-42 loss to No. 13 Baylor last Saturday. The Cyclones were trying to get the first conference victory for first-year coach Matt Campbell. David Montgomery’s 1-yard touchdown run with 2:58 left in the second quarter put Iowa State up 17-14. The Cyclones nearly doubled time of possession in the first half and ran 55 plays to Oklahoma State’s 32.

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK: FALCONS AT BRONCOS

Denver defense welcomes next test by Atlanta BY ARNIE STAPLETON

Associated Press DENVER

Apparently it’ll take more than the Atlanta Falcons’ aerial performance against Carolina to impress the Denver Broncos’ “No Fly Zone” secondary. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones will bring the league’s No. 1 offense to Denver for a showdown Sunday between the Falcons (3-1) and the Broncos (4-0). A week ago, Ryan and Jones became the first duo in NFL history to post a 500-yard passing and 300-yard receiving performance during the same game. Ryan threw for a careerhigh 503 yards and four

touchdowns against the Panthers. “Not as impressive as it sounds,” Broncos safety T.J. Ward said. “There were a lot of broken coverages and guys left wide open. They still did a good job fighting them, but it wasn’t the game that I thought it was after watching it.” Surely they were impressed by Jones becoming just the sixth receiver in NFL history to post a 300-yard game. “Just going against a young secondary,” Denver safety Darian Stewart said. “They have big-play players and so we just have to go out there and play our technique and just play our game. They didn’t do anything different, it’s just other guys were (using) bad technique and allow-

ing the big plays.” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak won’t disparage the Falcons, noting Ryan is thriving in his second year of Kyle Shanahan’s scheme. He leads the league with 1,473 passing yards and a quarterback rating of 126.3. “Those numbers are real, I know that,” Kubiak said. So are these figures from the past three weeks against Denver’s defense: A Andrew Luck came in off a 385-yard passing performance and was held to 197 yards. A Andy Dalton was coming off consecutive 366yard showings and was limited to 206 yards. A And Jameis Winston was fresh off a 405-yard game when he managed just 179 yards.

NFL NOTEBOOK STAR QB NEWTON, RB STEWART RULED OUT FOR PANTHERS CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Quarterback Cam Newton and three other Carolina Panthers starters have been have been ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The league’s mopst valuable player hasn’t practiced since taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in last Sunday’s 48-33 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Derek Anderson will start for Carolina in Newton’s place. Coach Ron Rivera described Newton as “antsy,” adding that “he can’t help himself.” This will be only the third game Newton has missed since being the No. 1 pick in 2011. “We’re going to do what we do, play who we play,” Rivera said after

Saturday’s practice. “We’ve done this before. It’s that next-man-up mentality.” Anderson is 2-0 as Newton’s replacement since joining Carolina in 2011, with both wins coming against Tampa Bay during 2014. Anderson threw two touchdown passes and had two turnovers in relief of Newton last week against the Falcons. “You know D.A. is going to get it out quick, quicker probably than Cam,” wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin said last week. “We’re going to have to be fast on our routes.” “I think he takes what he can get when he plays,” Rivera said of Anderson. “Unlike Cam, … Derek is going to be quick to pull the trigger and make a quick decision and go forward.”

DAVID T. FOSTER III TNS

Dwight Freeney sacks Cam Newton last week before Newton was knocked out.

It’s unclear when Newton will return. Carolina also will be without three other starters Monday – running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring), left tackle Michael Oher (concussion) and cornerback James Bradberry (toe). Defensive tackle Vernon Butler (ankle), a firstround draft pick, also is out. ELSEWHERE

In the week before facing Denver, those three combined for 1,156 yards passing, eight touchdowns, one interception and five sacks. Against the Broncos, they managed 584 yards and one touchdown with four interceptions and 14 sacks. “We’ve played a lot of good offenses,” Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. “But this one might be the best.” Bring it on, Ward said. “This is another opportunity to go out there and prove ourselves and put another performance on film,” Ward said. “It doesn’t matter who we get week-to-week. We want to do our best so it doesn’t matter who’s coming in here.” Ther Broncos, however, don’t know who will lead their offense. Kubiak said he wanted to see Trevor Siemian throw Saturday to make sure he’s healthy enough to play after leaving last weekend’s game with a bruised left (non-throwing) shoulder. The other option is giving rookie Paxton Lynch his first start against the league’s 30th-ranked defense.

Dallas: The Cowboys activated DeMarcus Lawrence for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati, clearing the defensive end for his season debut after a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Lawrence was Dallas’ sacks leader with eight last year. He was one of three defensive starters suspended for substanceabuse violations. Linebacker Rolando McClain is serving a 10-game suspension, and defensive end Randy Gregory is out 14 games for two violations. Detroit: The Lions will be without defensive end Ziggy Ansah, tight end Eric Ebron and linebacker DeAndre Levy on Sunday against Philadelphia. Detroit lists Ansah with an ankle injury, Ebron with ankle and knee problems and Levy with knee and quadriceps issues. — NEWS SERVICES

FALCONS (3-1) AT BRONCOS (4-0) We have a humming Falcons pass offense that just torched Carolina against an elite Broncos pass defense. Within that we have Julio Jones, off a 300-yard receiving game, defended by top corner Aqib Talib. Sweet! It’ll be Denver’s D that swings this game. Betting Line: DEN by 51⁄2. PATRIOTS (3-1) AT BROWNS (0-4) Tom Brady. The return of New England’s superstar QB following a fourgame Deflategate suspension is the overarching Week 5 headline in the NFL. Will he be rusty? I doubt it. Also think Rob Gronkowski will bust out of his blocker/decoy role with a day to reward the patience of his fantasy owners. Betting Line: NE by 101⁄2. EAGLES (3-0) AT LIONS (1-3) Lions beat Philly in Detroit last Thanksgiving 45-14. And aren’t upstart Eagles due a loss? Isn’t perfect rookie Carson Wentz due a mistake? Maybe on both. But I still have to like Philly, coming off a bye, especially welcoming back key offensive pieces in RB Ryan Mathews and TE Zach Ertz. Betting Line: PHI by 3. BILLS (2-2) AT RAMS (3-1) A matchup of surging teams whose strong defenses make up for sputtering O’s. Rams have won three games in a row, and Bills have won two in a row – and impressively, over Arizona and New England. There also is an erratic quality to both squads. Betting Line: L.A. by 21⁄2. BEARS (1-3) AT COLTS (1-3) Brian Hoyer expected to make third consecutive QB start for Chicago, but he’s sans WR Kevin White now. Colts are 18-7 following a loss under embattled Chuck Pagano, and Andrew Luck has seven TDs and a 104.4 rating in his past three home games. Betting Line: IND by 41⁄2. REDSKINS (2-2) AT RAVENS (3-1) NFL’s closest neighbors have stadiums only 32 miles apart, but Redskins are making the bus ride for first time since 2008. Both teams on the periphery of playoff-worthy, but only one has a stout defense (Baltimore). Betting Line: BAL by 4. JETS (1-3) AT STEELERS (3-1)

BEN MARGOT AP

Rookie Ezekiel Elliott (21) has 412 yards and three touchdowns rushing for Dallas.

Big Ben Roethlisberger has 18 TD passes in past five home games. Antonio Brown has 59 catches for 833 yards and eight scores in past six at home. And Le’Veon Bell burst off suspension with a rustfree 144 yards last week. Did I mention NYJ has a disappointing pass defense and that Darrelle Revis is iffy? Betting Line: PIT by 7. BENGALS (2-2) AT COWBOYS (3-1) Cincy could get a sizable boost with season debut of tight end Tyer Eifert, but it seems less likely as the week goes on. Stout defensive front could pose a serious challenge to Dallas’ workhorse rookie back Ezekiel Elliott. Betting Line: CIN by 1. CHARGERS (1-3) AT RAIDERS (3-1) Philip Rivers is 14-6 against Oakland, but Raiders swept last year. Chargers blow leads as if that’s the point, and Raiders are learning how to win. SD’s top draftee Joey Bosa set for season debut. Difference here? Derek Carr and Amari Cooper vs. Bolts secondary beset by CB injuries. Betting Line: OAK by 31⁄2. GIANTS (2-2) AT PACKERS (2-1) Aaron Rodgers against Eli Manning will fill a marquee pretty good. Eli is two TD passes shy of being the eighth to reach 300. But little in the NFL is closer to a sure thing than Rodgers at Lambeau, his 110.4 the best home passer rating of anybody. Packers coming off a bye, too, and NYG is off a short week. Betting Line: GB by 71⁄2. TITANS (1-3) AT DOLPHINS (1-3) Ryan Tannehill and Marcus Mariota both have five interceptions, so whichever mistake-prone QB plays the cleanest game likely will win. Miami also must beware Delanie Walker. Tight ends give this D problems, and Walker is a good one. Betting Line: MIA by 31⁄2. BUCCANEERS (1-3) AT PANTHERS (1-3) Game stayed off betting boards deep into last week because Cats QB Cam Newton was in the NFL’s concussion protocol and it appeared increasingly likely Derek Anderson would start. That’s a huge drop-off. Carolina has been huge disappointment, and its defense was embarrassed by Falcons last week, but see a prideful bounce-back effort here. Betting Line: Off. — GREG COTE, MIAMI HERALD

Outdoors YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER

File photo

Sphyrapicus varius Unlike most woodpeckers, which rely largely on insects, yellow-bellieds feed heaving on the sap that oozes from holes they pound into trees. They’ll also feed on any insects that happen to get stuck in the sap, too. These eight-inch birds are pretty quiet and shy, and are pros at keeping the trunk of a tree between themselves and any humans nearby. This year’s flock of wintering yellow-bellieds should be arriving about now. Any that stay in Kansas will likely last until they depart northward in April. While the bird are generally found statewide their favorite area of Kansas seems to be the Red Hills, around Medicine Lodge, where they’ve always had easy feeding amid the many cedar trees. This year things could be tougher on the birds, though, since the large Anderson Creek Fire of last March torched hundreds of thousands of cedars.

MICHAEL PEARCE The Wichita Eagle

Dodge City High School teacher and coach Dave Foster was looking to create more outdoors activities when he found the means to create two-acre Demon Lake on the school's campus. Fishing is now part of the physical education curriculum.

Dodge City students can learn fishing, archery BY MICHAEL PEARCE

mpearce@wichitaeagle.com DODGE CITY

Jairo Coca learned something new in his freshman physical education class last month. And he liked it. “I’ve never seen a fish in person before now, for real, anyway,” Coca said as he admired a palmsized bluegill that he reeled in. “This is my first fish. It’s pretty cool.” Fifteen minutes, and three more bluegill later, it wasn’t just the fish that were hooked. Coca was baiting his hook and unhooking fish with ease, and said he would go fishing again. Most of the dozen classmates who shared his side of a twoacre pond said the same. The pond is called Demon Lake, after the Dodge City High School’s mascot, and sits on the west side of the campus. Administrators say it’s as important as any classroom. “The pond has been a great thing for our kids, really,” said principal Jacque Feist. “It’s such a great opportunity for the kids. There just isn’t a lot of access to (recreational) water around Dodge City.” Demon Lake is the brainchild and ongoing project of Dave Foster. He’s the school’s football and track coach, plus strength and conditioning instructor. He’s also a lifelong hunter and angler. He immediately knew fishing opportunities were few when he took the job in 2010. But he saw potential. “I saw kind of marshy area as a place where kids might someday be able to fish,” Foster said, as he helped Coca and others fish for bass, bluegill and channel catfish. “I also knew the chances of (development) happening would be much higher if the school didn’t have to spend a lot of money.” They did not. Foster spent about three

years getting grants for the project, with the help of the Kansas Department of Wildilfe, Parks and Tourism. The pond was completed and full for the first time in 2014. A local group, the Ford County Sportsman’s Club, helped pay to get the pond stocked in the spring of 2015. This year, run-off from the school grounds has kept the pond full. If needed, Foster said they can divert cleaned sewage water from a nearby line to help keep the pond full. Every student enrolled in a physical education gets to fish the pond at least three days per semester. All of the equipment is furnished, including the 6,000 worms students have already used this school year. Students are exempt from needing fishing licenses during school hours. Foster said physical education teachers are all certified under the Fishing’s Future program and guidelines. But fishing is one of several outdoors-related activities offered to Dodge City’s high school students. With Foster’s help, the Archery in the Schools program became part of the physical education

curriculum in the fall of 2013. The school also has an archery team, which Feist quickly bragged of winning the state championship the last two years. Foster said 175 kids sign up to take hunter education classes at the school annually. The local sportsman’s group hosts the graduates, and provides an opportunity to shoot some clay targets. About 40 of the kids are scheduled to be taken on a supervised pheasant hunt. Raised in Claflin, a small central Kansas town with ample opportunities

for fishing and hunting, Feist said she had no problems backing all the programs. “We may be a rural community, but the majority of the kids don’t have any rural experience,” she said. “A large number of our students are Hispanic, and that’s often not a culture that’s had a lot of experience (with things like fishing and shooting). If we don’t provide these things, many might never get the chance.” Feist said high school teachers use Demon Lake for teaching things such as

ecology and photography. Foster said the school wants to use a patch of prairie he estimates to be 33 acres, also on school grounds, for educational and recreational uses. Feist and Foster said students have quickly taken ownership in what they have. “It’s pretty cool out here because we know we’re one of the only high schools in the state to have their own lake for fishing and stuff,” said Cedric Rosales, a freshman. “I think a lot of people like learning some new things, and getting a chance to be outdoors. It’s different than other classes.” Foster said the outdoors clubs and classes give kids who may not be into sports something they can do together. He’s sure they do it because they like it. “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had a kid late for archery (team) practice,” he said. “Most times they’re there well ahead of time. It’s not like that with most school activities.” The area around the pond is also seeing increased use by other members of the Dodge City community. Fishing is open to all, if school is not in session. It’s catchand-release angling. Feist said the public does a good job of policing each other at the lake. All segments, from elderly residents walking their dogs to a family fishing with young children, seem to find some good from the lake. “It’s nice to see so many people using it. We have a young man who has autism, and he struggles in about all facets of life,” she said, “but when he’s casting a fishing pole he’s as good as anybody else. This place gives him maybe his only opportunity to be like others.... That’s pretty cool.” Michael Pearce: 316-268-6382, @PearceOutdoors
