Board: Farmer overpaid self by $52K Just Food attorney says criminal charges will be pursued

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Former Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer soon may be facing criminal charges related to a host of alleged financial misdeeds while he was executive director of the local food Farmer bank Just Food.

Representatives of the nonprofit board for Just Food told that Farmer

the JournalWorld Wednesday that their own investigation and examination of financial records alleges made unauthor-

ized payments to himself of more than $52,000 in salary and benefits over a two-year period. The alleged overpayments are in addition to more than $61,000 in federal and state payroll taxes that went unpaid while Farmer served as the executive director of the

food bank.

Board members have asked their attorney to forward their findings to law enforcement officials for possible criminal charges against Farmer.

“I have contacted law enforcement and expect to be providing them with detailed

KU’s Spencer Museum tops fundraising goal Staff Reports

K

ansas University’s Spencer Museum of Art has surpassed its $5 million fundraising goal for Phase I of its renovation, allowing the museum to expand the scope of the project.

Thanks to contributions from nearly 200 donors, the effort has raised $7.4 million for the museum, KU announced Wednesday.

Phase I of the project will transform the museum’s lobby area, including adding glass through which visitors can view Marvin Grove outside.

According to KU, the additional money will allow the museum to improve more gallery and public spaces, as well as address longstanding accessibility and infrastructure needs.

The museum closed for construction in April, and galleries are expected to reopen in 2016. This is the first broad renovation of the museum since it was built in 1977.

More than $5.8 million of the $7.4 million raised was donated by 11 “leadership donors” in the form of gifts ranging from $100,000 to $1.36 million, according to KU. According to KU, recent major donations to the Spencer campaign include gifts by Sam and Connie Perkins, Olathe; Pam and Dolph Simons Jr., Lawrence (Dolph Simons is editor of the Journal-World); M.D. Michaelis of Emprise Financial Center, Wichita; and Linda and John T. Stewart, Lawrence and Wellington.

BOTTOM LEFT: The central courtyard of the museum will be closed for at least another year. BOTTOM RIGHT: One exhibit at the museum was not moved, and instead had a structure built around it to shield it during construction.

Ronald Eugene Heskett, in a recorded police interview shown to jurors Wednesday, recalled the man he allegedly asphyxiated as a country music lover and sports enthusiast who had suicidal thoughts.

The 49-year-old Eudora man is being tried on a charge of first-degree murder in Douglas County District Court in the death of Vance “Van” Moulton, 65, of Lawrence. Heskett was a home health care attendant to Moulton, whose cerebral Heskett palsy left him almost entirely dependent on others. Moulton could not move his legs and had restricted mobility in one of his arms.

In the taped interview, Heskett said he called his boss to report Moulton had killed himself while Heskett was out running errands for him. Heskett told police that he arrived at Moulton’s Prairie Ridge apartment, 2424 Melrose Lane, around 10 a.m. Sept. 12, 2014, and found Moulton dead of apparent asphyxiation by a towel around his neck.

In photos presented to jurors Tuesday, Moulton was seen hours after he was pronounced dead lying on his right side with a gray towel twisted around his neck, the ends extending behind him.

Campaign urges rivals to ‘keep it classy’ for Friday’s game With the rivalry football game between Free State High School and Lawrence High School on Friday, a local coalition is taking steps to discourage the vandalism, including a racial slur, that marked last year’s matchup.

In the days leading up to the game, 1,000 T-shirts are being handed out between both schools, provided by the coalition Draw the Line Lawrence, said Jen Jordan, the grant coordinator. The coalition, which encourages healthy behavior in teens, worked with the FYI leadership clubs at both schools to distribute the

shirts and promote the message.

The shirts, printed in red for LHS and in green for FSHS, depict both schools’ mascots with top hats and the slogan “Keep it classy Lawrence.”

“The whole idea is to promote it the whole week prior to the game, so they have it in their mind,” Jordan said.

The coalition has also been running ads with the logo and slogan in order to reach community members and parents, Jordan said.

“This is not just a student thing; this is something that has a long history and

many times it’s also parents that are supporting unhealthy behaviors,” she said. “We’re hoping to hit from various angles: schools, students, parents, community.”

The campaign also includes vinyl banners for each school with the logos and slogan, which will be hung at rivalry games in all sports now and in the future to help promote healthy behaviors and discourage hazing and discrimination, Jordan said.

In the four-hour interview, Heskett told investigators of his daily routine with Moulton. At least four times a week, Heskett said he would tend to Moulton, cooking, dressing and bathing him. Heskett said they’d watch the Top 40 Country Countdown on TV and talk sports.

“We were pretty close,” Heskett said. “To me, he was like an older brother or an uncle or something.”

But about six months prior to Moulton’s death, Heskett said, Moulton grew increasingly pessimistic, allegedly asking Heskett daily to “shoot him.”

“Anything that happens, if it doesn’t happen perfect, it was against him,” Heskett said. “Every day he was upset about life.”

Moulton also was allegedly torn by the thoughts of his condition, Heskett said.

“He thinks about it all the time, ‘What if I didn’t have cerebral palsy? My life would be so different,’” Heskett said.

Suicidal thoughts Heskett said that he tried to console Moulton.

He said he relayed to Moulton his own prior suicide attempt. Heskett said he told Moulton “things got better” after he survived an attempt to shoot himself with a rifle in the late 1980s.

Heskett also claimed that he tried to get Moulton to see a counselor, but Moulton wouldn’t have it.

“I told him one time to get something (for mental health) and he said, ‘Don’t you dare,’” Heskett said. “I couldn’t go against the client.”

Twisted towel Though Heskett in the video claimed Moulton rolled the gray towel, wrapped it around his neck and laid on it to kill himself, Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell testified Wednesday that couldn’t have been the case because of Moulton’s limited dexterity.

“It would not be possible (for Moulton) to arrange the towel in that way or to maintain pressure long enough” to cause suffocation, Mitchell said.

But when investigators asked Heskett in the interview if it was possible Moulton could have “done something like this on his own,” Heskett attested that Moulton could. “(Moulton) can pull himself around on that bed,” Heskett said. “His cerebral palsy affected his legs … his right arm and hand was just a good as yours or mine.”

The trial will continue today and is expected to last through Friday.

Education chief urges redesign for Kansas schools

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson is telling public school officials it’s time for them to rethink the way they approach their jobs in light of what the gen-

eral public, and the business community in particular, now expect of them.

Specifically, Watson told about 50 local educators in Topeka Wednesday, schools need to tailor educational programs toward the needs of each

individual student.

And he said they need to focus as much on nonacademic skills such as communication, critical thinking and interpersonal skills as they do on traditional academic skills such as reading and math.

“Schools may need to be redesigned to get to this new outcome,” Watson said.

Watson, who officially took over as the state’s chief education officer in July, said those kinds of changes reflect what the Kansas State Department of Educa-

tion heard from more than 1,800 community members and business leaders during a statewide listening tour conducted earlier this year.

He said the agency convened focus group meetings in 20 locations throughout the state, asking people what

kind of skills they think a young adult needs in order to be successful, and what role public schools should play in developing those skills.

The results, he said, were surprising.

public deconstructing of the incident will be helpful, in time.

“I could really see when we are past this crisis the value of a lessons-learned type of meeting or seminar where there is a chance to reflect on what happened, what has been learned and what has been gained,” Thellman said.

Watkins, whose law firm specializes in dealing with troubled financial organizations, said board members were placed in a tough position by Farmer’s deceit.

“When you have a bad actor, there is always damage before you discover it,” Watkins said. “When they act to willfully deceive you, it takes a while to discover it. I have served on a lot of boards, and you rely upon your executive director to provide you good information and factual information.

When that doesn’t happen, it creates problems.”

Just Food’s survival In addition to the $60,000 that needs to be raised by early October to clear the organization’s tax debt and penalties, representatives estimated the organization has $22,000 of overhead expenses per month to keep the food bank operational.

“There are many phases to this,” Thellman said. “The first phase is to get the taxes paid, and then we have to pay our monthly expenses for what is really a very small staff. This current plea (for funding) won’t be the only plea, but it may be the most important plea.”

Thellman said she envisions that if the organization is able to stave off bankruptcy, it likely will have to make operational changes to survive.

“It might look like a little bit different organization on the other side of this,” she said. “We may have to scale down, at least for a while. We have a lot of work to do to make it a sustainable organization.”

But Thellman said the current board has no interest in shutting down the organization.

“We are all about keeping the doors open,” Thellman said.

“We can compete for classified projects, and that means if one is awarded, then we have the infrastructure in place to help our faculty, grad students and staff manage that particular project,” Schulz said. “It’s expensive to maintain that. This is not something that you do one time and walk away from.”

Gray-Little said the Department of Defense has billions of dollars available for research and development KU could not apply for without clearance.

For now KU has one classified Department of Defense contract that involves enhanced remote sensing technologies such as radar and sonar, GrayLittle said. She said all classified research at KU happens in a secure area of Nichols Hall on West Campus.

K-State has three contracts with a fourth pending, Schulz said.

Schulz said though K-State’s resolution relates to the Biosecurity Research Institute the research doesn’t necessarily involve infectious diseases. He said KState’s classified projects were largely out of the College of Engineering.

In response to a question from Regent Dave Murfin, Schulz said examples of security measures might include secure research spaces where no data would be allowed in or out, via memory sticks, disc drives or other means. He said K-State also has secure communications with other places working on similar projects nationally.

That, Schulz said, was about all he could share.

At KU, according to the memo, the Department of Defense has determined that the Security Executive Committee must include the chancellor, provost and executive vice chancellor, vice chancellor for research, vice provost for administration and finance and facility security officer.

BRIEFLY County OKs plan to fund Peaslee loan Douglas County commissioners unanimously agreed on Wednesday to use the county’s Equipment Reserve Fund as a revenue source for a previously-approved loan to the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center.

In March, commissioners approved a loan not to exceed $150,000 to renovate a section of the center’s building, near Haskell Avenue and 31st Street, which will house the Lawrence Workforce Center. The City of Lawrence also approved a loan for the other half of those renovations.

Schools CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Although people generally agreed that basic academic skills were important, the vast majority of skills people listed as important were nonacademic skills, such as communication, interpersonal skills, citizenship and ethics, and the ability to work in teams with other people.

“This really rocked us,” Watson said, “because we thought we would hear, ‘They don’t know how to read a tape measure; they don’t know how to count back change.’ (...) Only 15 percent of responses were in that realm.”

Deputy Education Commissioner Brad Neuenswander said the focus on nonacademic skills was even more prevalent among business leaders.

Just within that group, he said the skills most frequently mentioned as important were characteristics such as conscientiousness, agreeableness and emotional stability.

“Even business and industry said, ‘We want our

employees to be able to give back to others, to be good citizens. That makes them good employees,’” Neuenswander said.

Watson said for much of the last 20 years, the state of Kansas has focused almost exclusively on improving basic academic skills, and measuring those skills using a single statewide test for reading and math.

That was largely in response to the federal No Child Left Behind law that required states to work toward getting all students up to proficiency in reading and math, and to close achievement gaps between different ethnic groups and economic classes, as a condition for receiving federal education funding.

Under No Child Left Behind, Watson said, Kansas has made significant improvement in student achievement, and to some extent in closing achievement gaps between groups of students.

But the overall percentage of high school graduates who go on to college has not changed, nor has the number of students needing remedial courses in college, while the num-

ber of students who stay in college for two or more years has declined.

“That’s not anyone’s fault,” Watson said.

“We’re focused on different things.”

But Watson said the general public, and the business community in particular, expect much more from their schools, and he cited a massive focus group survey the Department of Education conducted earlier this year involving more than 1,800 people in 20 locations throughout the state.

Watson and Neuenswander are now touring the state again, sharing the results of that survey and asking for feedback about how schools can change, and how the Kansas State Board of Education should incorporate those findings into a new accreditation system.

Watson said schools will probably be asked to put more emphasis on career planning by identifying students’ passions and interests at an earlier stage, and making individual plans of instruction for each student.

The discussion comes as the Kansas Legislature is preparing to craft a new funding formula.

RESTAURANT WEEK I

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

f you haven’t stopped by any of the 19 eateries participating in this year’s Downtown Lawrence Restaurant Week, don’t worry — there’s still time. The annual event, now in its second year, runs through Saturday.

While some restaurants on the roster are serving up some of their best-loved permanent menu items in packaged prix fixe deals, we thought we’d highlight a few inventive, exotic and wacky dishes devised by local chefs

and restaurateurs in honor of the event.

Check out a full list of participating restaurants and their menus at lawrencerestaurantweek.com.

Waffle Hot Dogs at The Burger Stand Owner-chef Simon Bates concocted the idea for this sophisticated take on a corn dog during a recent visit to San Francisco, says Burger Stand general manager Beau Bruns. Burger Stand cooks are dipping a hot dog on a stick in house-made waffle batter instead of the traditional cornmeal-based batter. The hot dogs are served with a pat of pumpkin butter and a chicory-coffee gastrique, which lends a vinegar-y tartness to the dish.

Goat cheese croquettes at Ingredient Ask Ingredient owner-chef Nick Wysong about the inspiration behind his restaurant’s elegant Restaurant Week menu, and he’ll tell you.

“I just like to eat,” says Wysong, whose roster of small plates includes sweet-potato bisque, a Maine lobster roll and the delicate, lavender-garnished goat cheese croquettes.

Each bite-sized piece of creamy goat cheese is rolled in flour and panko, coated in egg wash and fried until softly crisp. It’s served with a drizzling of lavender and local wildflower honey.

“It’s straight from the hive, so it retains all the natural enzymes,” Wysong says. “It’s got an earthier taste.”

Cost: $9 for a small plate Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

Buttered corn and cold noodles at Ramen Bowls Unlike traditional ramen, Ramen Bowls co-owner Shantel Grace’s tsukemen noodles are served cold, meant to be eaten after dipping in a separate bowl of miso broth.

She’s hoping to launch a revised version of her Restaurant Week dish next summer, but with a refreshing iced broth.

“The idea is that the miso noodle will soak up the broth, yet you really get the flavor of the noodle as you slurp it,” Grace says of the dish, which also comes with a choice of teriyaki chicken or teriyaki tofu.

Boyfriend’s brother needs to get on his feet Dear Annie: I have been seeing my boyfriend, “John,” for more than a year and love him very much.

We are in our mid-20s, and while there are no plans to move in together or settle down soon, I see a future with him.

The issue is that John currently lives with his older brother, “Zack.”

Zack has no fulltime job, no prospects and no friends outside of those provided by John. Zack is shy in social situations, and covers this by being snide and sarcastic, which leads him to be girlfriend-less.

My friends no longer like hanging out with John, as Zack is almost always involved.

Also, John pays for everything for Zack — rent, food, entertain-

ment or any event we go to. I feel like John’s second girlfriend.

When we go out with other friends for dinner, John will pay for Zack, but not me.

And if the three of us go out, John and I split the bill 50/50.

I don’t mind this occasionally, but my finances are tight and I don’t care to pay for Zack. I resent that Zack gets treated to these dinners, but I don’t. Even our ro-

Bill Cosby’s victims speak out Dozens of women come forward with serious allegations against one of America’s most adored and respected television institutions on “Cosby: The Women Speak” (9 p.m., A&E).

This special was not available for review and, as of this writing, was barely mentioned on the network’s website. In this business, sometimes an absence of hype is the most powerful statement of all.

Days before the network season begins in earnest, NBC offers a night of decidedly cable-worthy entertainment. Not long ago, a special like “Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood” (7 p.m.) would have aired on Comedy Central.

Dunham was a consistent ratings hit for that network, in spite of being an odd fit for the home of “South Park.” An unabashedly old-fashioned prop comic, Dunham works with puppets to create characters like the cranky, elderly Walter and Achmed the Dead Terrorist. By keeping his jokes safe enough for family viewing, Dunham has risked being seen as less than edgy while earning the reputation and the rewards of being one of the top-grossing comics currently working.

The notion of family-friendly humor involving felt characters was so out of fashion that it has come back with a vengeance.

ABC’s “Muppets” reboot is one of the more anticipated series of the upcoming season.

What better way to follow a puppet show than with a magic act? NBC’s two-hour special “Mat Franco’s Got Magic” (8 p.m.) follows the New Englander and illusionist to several performances in Rhode Island and an opening night in Las Vegas.

Look for special appearances by New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, singer Jason Mraz, magicians Penn and Teller, Heidi Klum of “Project Runway” and Neil Patrick Harris, star of NBC’s own “Best Time Ever.”

Speaking of NBC shows and cable TV, Sundance returns to a “Law & Order” marathon (5 p.m. through midnight), airing episodes that won or were nominated for Emmys. The episode “Point of View” (7 p.m.) features Elaine Stritch in a role that won her an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

YouTube personalities Grace Helbig and Tyler Oakley host the 5th Annual Streamy Awards (9 p.m., VH1), honoring the best in online video.

Tonight’s other highlights

The Kansas City Chiefs host

the Denver Broncos on “Thursday Night Football” (7:25 p.m., CBS).

The house picks up the pieces after the gang war on the season finale of “Graceland” (9 p.m., USA).

mantic dates usually involve Zack, and of course, he would come on any vacation.

Annie, I feel stuck.

I love John and I have even learned to like Zack, but I don’t think I can handle this situation any longer.

I’ve brought it up delicately many times, and John and Zack both acknowledge the need for a change, but nothing happens.

I don’t feel comfortable trying to get in between brothers, but this doesn’t seem healthy.

— Third Wheel Dear Third: John obviously feels responsible for Zack and wants to take care of him. He doesn’t feel responsible for you, since you are independent, both financially and socially.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 17: This year you could feel held back at times. You have the energy, luck and knowledge to push any project to success. If you are single, you could be overwhelmed by those who would like more than a friendship. If you are attached, you often feel deflated, but your significant other is there.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Be aware of your limitations when dealing with someone at a distance. You are not on the same page. Tonight: Act on an odd feeling.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your feelings regarding many people seeking you out are likely to emerge. Opportunities seem to pop up out of the blue.

Tonight: As you like it.

John privately whether Zack could benefit from counseling? If he is the older brother and still has no job and no social life, he might need some coaching in life skills.

He also might appreciate having someone teach him how to handle himself at a party or attract the attention of a female, and you could be of tremendous assistance there.

Otherwise, any “future” you see with John means including Zack in everything.

Determined Dole Former Sen. Bob Dole already has recruited an impressive group of heavy hitters to help him raise money to complete the Eisenhower Memorial.

W

ho better than former Sen. Bob Dole to spearhead fundraising for a memorial to honor another World War II hero, former President Dwight Eisenhower?

Dole announced last week that he would launch a campaign to raise $150 million — in private funds, if necessary — to complete the Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C. The design of the memorial has been a matter of controversy for more than 15 years and critics of the design have stalled efforts to obtain congressional approval of funding for the project.

“To heck with ‘em,” Dole told the Associated Press. “We’re going to go ahead and build it.” Eisenhower wouldn’t have wanted taxpayers to pay for his memorial anyway, he added.

That’s the kind of determination and plain talk that the 92-year-old Kansan is known for.

Dole said he would personally write letters and work the phones seeking donations. He and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker plan to visit the Kansas State Fair this weekend to promote the memorial. Dole also is calling on former presidents, congressional leaders and cabinet officials to support the effort. He already has received commitments from NBC newsman Tom Brokaw, actor Tom Hanks and former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush to join the fundraising effort.

Hanks, who starred in “Saving Private Ryan,” also worked with Dole to raise money for the World War II Memorial, another project Dole said was not without controversy.

“We can’t satisfy every critic. Every memorial that’s been built, I believe, has had criticism. The World War II Memorial was criticized by some,” he said. “They didn’t like the design, and we finally said OK, we’ll just go raise $170 million and build it. Now it’s the most-visited memorial in D.C.” Eisenhower and Dole are two of our state’s most noted and admired leaders.

It’s only fitting that Dole would lead this campaign. The Eisenhower Memorial has lingered for too long, but we’re betting Dole is the guy who can get it back on track.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 17, 1915: “Greater simplicity in all things, particularly in dress and all disyears play, was urged by Chancellor ago Frank Strong, in his opening adIN 1915 dress to students of the University of Kansas, in the first convocation of the school year at Robinson gymnasium at 10 o’clock this morning. While the Chancellor did not intimate that students of the big Lawrence school are any more extravagant than in the average American university, he did say that they were too extravagant in many ways for their own good and that he hoped that this year there would be less display in dress, in the spending of money and in student social events.... The most important thing, he suggested, was a student body swayed by strong moral convictions and upheld by a true religious spirit.”

Faith-based unit redirects Ohio inmates Cleveland — About a mile from where the Cleveland Indians test their fans’ patience, there is a facility that expresses Ohio’s attempt to temper justice with patience. The facility resembles a school, except for the razor wire.

This prison contains 619 women, one of whom, Jessica Torok, mother of three sons — in the third year of her four-year sentence for manufacturing methamphetamine — says: “I’ve changed things I didn’t even know needed changed,” so “now I can go home and be the mother I should have been.” Until she goes home she will “live the Army values.” Here, she says proudly, “we live military style.”

Women who volunteer for the military unit live in a dorm whose halls are decorated with the U.S. armed services’ emblems. They practice precision marching and make their beds and organize their clothes drawers with military precision (extra blanket folded 12 inches wide, everything in drawers rolled 6 inches vertically, etc.). They also loudly recite a long oath that is the verbal equivalent of drums and bugles, culminating in a vow to “engage and destroy” enemies of the nation that has put them behind razor wire.

“

The vast majority of today’s 2.2 million prisoners will return to the places where they made the choices that got them incarcerated.

This is a recipe for recidivism …”

Having long since taken responsibility for their lives, they express not a scintilla of today’s culture of grievance and victimhood.

This military unit is one approach to bringing order to what were disorderly lives.

Few people are in prison because their parents did not hire good SAT prep tutors.

Most come from fractured families that, when concentrated in neighborhoods, produce turbulent social cauldrons rich with possibilities for dangerous choices.

The vast majority of today’s 2.2 million prisoners

will return to the places where they made the choices that got them incarcerated. This is a recipe for recidivism — unless their passage through what is too cheerfully called the “correctional system” gives them new inner resources for living safely.

Here, in one of Ohio’s 11 prisons devoted to preparing prisoners for “reintegration,” Gary Mohr is particularly proud of the separate faith-based unit.

The unit might more accurately be called faithdrenched, and not just because Christians so inclined can experience full-immersion baptism. Keyonna Smith, 32, has been incarcerated since some of her bad decisions, aggravated robbery and kidnapping at age 19, earned her a 16-year sentence. She participates in the “silent choir” because, she says, “There are some things people can say to God with their hands that they can’t say with their mouths.” As a recording of a hymn plays, a dozen or so women translate the lyrics into sign language: “I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be before (God’s) presence came and changed me.” Participation in the faith-based unit is voluntary. And Ohio is disinter-

ested regarding the validity of particular faiths but intensely interested in the utility of faith in reforming the faithful.

Amanda Freed robbed a pharmacy, and she will not be free until 2021, when she can take to the job market the fluency she now brings to a PowerPoint lecture on the facility’s many facets. Malika Poole, a poised and impeccably dressed ex-inmate — she got out in May after 14 years inside — has a job using computer skills she taught herself here. Seated next to her, Jenny O’Grady, who found a job two weeks after ending her six years in prison, says: “My past doesn’t define who I am today.”

When Mohr began his career 41 years ago, Ohio had 8,300 inmates. Today it has nearly 51,000. About 20,000 Ohioans are sent to prison each year; 41 percent spend less than a year incarcerated.

Mohr, who considers prisons “the most unreformed part of government,” says his mission is “life reformation,” which requires a lot of money as well as patience.

One test of a society is how well it treats those it does not need to treat well. Here and in similar prisons, Ohio is passing the test.

Birthday wish

Police must be held accountable He was not a terrorist with a dirty bomb in his suitcase.

He was not a stalker with a Glock in his fist.

He was not even a mugger with a switchblade in his pocket.

James Blake was not, in other words, an imminent danger of the sort that might have justified a police officer in tackling him to the ground last week, as much of the world has now seen in a surveillance video. All Blake was — more accurately, all the police believed him to be — was a guy who had committed credit card fraud.

And he wasn’t even that.

Rather, Blake is a retired tennis star who was waiting outside a Manhattan hotel for a car that was to take him to the U.S. Open when he was grabbed and thrown to the pavement

by James Frascatore, an undercover NYPD cop. This was for — it bears repeating — credit card fraud. Working from a tip and from a photograph, Frascatore attacked the wrong man. Blake says that during the assault, neither Frascatore nor his colleagues ever identified themselves as police.

Sadly, Blake’s account meshes seamlessly with other recent tales of thuggish policing of the type you never saw from Officer Pete Malloy on “Adam-12.” In his book, “The Divide,” Matt Taibbi tells the story of a musician named Patrick who was assaulted by three cops at a subway station after they apparently mistook a roll-your-own cigarette for a marijuana joint. Patrick thought he was being robbed.

Then he thought he was being kidnapped. “Call the

Not to put too fine a point on it, but something’s very wrong when you can’t tell the cops from the robbers.”

cops!” he cried out to passersby. It did not occur to him that the people slamming his head against concrete were the cops.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but something’s very wrong when you can’t tell the cops from the robbers.

You should not be shocked to hear that Frascatore’s colleagues apparently attempted to cover his backside; they failed to file required paperwork reporting the arrest.

You should not be stunned to learn that his union stood up for him; union chief Patrick Lynch praised him for a “professional” takedown and criticized as “premature and unwarranted” Frascatore’s restriction to modified duty.

Finally, you should not be surprised to find out Frascatore has a history of brutality complaints and is reported to be a defendant in two federal cases alleging excessive force.

You should not be shocked, stunned or surprised because, let’s face it: In America these

days, a bad cop is more likely to win the lottery than be held accountable for his misbehavior. While we are apportioning blame for that sorry state of affairs, let’s not forget the politicians and members of the punditocracy who pretend that questioning police is equivalent to hating them or that the person who is critical of law enforcement is the moral equivalent of the psycho who guns a cop down for fun.

“Power,” Britain’s Lord Acton famously wrote, “tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” What we accord police in the absence of accountability comes pretty close to absolute power. From McKinney, Texas, where a police officer pulled a gun and threw a 15-year-old in a bikini to the ground, to Ferguson, Mo., where police used the citizenry as a kind of municipal ATM, to New York City where James Blake was tackled like an ISIS courier with a briefcase full of anthrax, we are seeing what that looks like and it isn’t pretty.

Blake has called for Frascatore to be fired, and that would be an excellent place to start. But we also need to talk about reform: better training, greater oversight, and strategies to interdict the cop code of silence — the “stop snitching” mentality — that makes too many good cops unwitting conspirators with too many bad ones.

At their best, police demand that crooks answer for what they do. It’s high time we started demanding the same from them.

To the editor: On Friday, Sept. 18, Lawrence celebrates its 161st anniversary. This birthday is especially significant because it marks the sesquicentennial year of Kansas University.

Sesquicentennial Point has a Walk through Time, and now it is time to add 11 more stones, ready to be marked with important events since 2004. Through Lawrence Parks and Recreation offices, individuals and groups can designate a year to commemorate. Go to the website lprd.org and select the Walk through Time for many wonderful stories about people and events from Lawrence’s historic past.

There are still people and organizations and events that have not been marked in the Walk through Time.

Who will step up to see that Langston Hughes is acknowledged? Lawrence High School? The 1952, 1988 and 2008 NCAA basketball championships? Pinckney School? New York School?

The Ballard Center? Arden Booth? Gladys and Deal Six? Phog Allen? Rev. Cordley? Ernst Hardware? Tiger Dowdell? Chuck Mead? Sara Paretsky?

In fact, the Walk through Time becomes a history lesson for all who follow it from 1854 to the present. Sesquicentennial Point is evolving and someday will have an amphitheater where, in 2054, a time capsule from 2004 will be opened to celebrate Lawrence’s bicentennial.

Happy birthday, Lawrence!

Clenece Hills, president, Lawrence Sesquicentennial Commission

Can you say ‘President Trump’?

Republican rivals label him egotistical and unfit to lead Susan Page USA TODAY

SIMI VALLEY, CALIF.

– President Trump?

The celebrity billionaire who showed in the first Republican

debate six weeks ago that he ought to be taken seriously as a potential nominee walked on stage for the second debate Wednesday determined to demonstrate that now he should be taken seriously as a potential president.

Donald Trump’s rivals were equally determined to prove that wrong, raising questions about his conservatism, his temperament and his depth of knowledge on national security and other issues.

“Everything I’ve done, virtually, has been a tremendous success,” Trump declared as he

dismissed rivals who said he wasn’t suitable to serve as commander in chief. He and the other 10 participants at the debate, sponsored by CNN and held at the Reagan Presidential Library, were standing in front of a jetliner used as Air Force One during Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

Citing his record in making billions, writing the best-selling Art of the Deal and hosting TV’s The Apprentice, he said: “What I want to do is put that ability in this country to make this country great again.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Amid the frequent insults — usually directed by or to Donald Trump — the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night displayed a substantive disagreements on Iran, Russia, taxes, immigration and abortion.

And it demonstrated the diversity of the Republican field, showing the many fault lines in the Republican field: Outsiders versus insiders; business leaders versus politicians; Tea Party stalwarts versus pragmatic moderates; neoconservative hawks versus anti-war globalists.

And everyone versus Trump.

Trump got things off to a lively start with an unprovoked attack on Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, saying Paul “shouldn’t even be on this stage. ... He’s got 1 percent in the polls and how he got up here — there’s far too many people anyway.”

Trump’s “visceral response to attack people on their appearance — my goodness, that happened in junior high,” Paul shot back.

“I never attacked him on his looks,” Trump shot back. “And believe me, there’s plenty of subject matter there.”

That set the tone for a debate featuring sharp one-liners and Republican cross-fire, as the crowded field of 11 top-tier candidates jockeyed for attention in a prime-time CNN debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The moderators of the CNN debate kept the sparks flyv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

This bid’s for you: $245B beer merger on tap Aamer Madhani and Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Beer behemoth AnheuserBusch InBev confirmed Wednesday that it has approached rival SABMiller about a takeover that would combine the world’s two biggest beermakers and mark the biggest shakeup in the industry in nearly a decade.

The deal, which would create a $245 billion global company, would trigger an intense antitrust review. If finalized, it would bring some of the world’s most iconic beers — AB InBev makes Budweiser, and SABMiller brews Miller Lite — under one roof.

AB InBev also brews Corona, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and Skol. SABMiller’s roster of beers include Aguila, Peroni and Pilsner Urquell.

A BEER BEHEMOTH Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller shipped more than 70% of the beer produced for the U.S. market in 2014: Anheuser-Busch InBev 44.7% MillerCoors 26% All other beers, malt beverages and ciders 29.3%

Source Beer Marketer’s Insights JIM SERGENT, USA TODAY

AB InBev, the world’s largest brewer based on sales, said it intends to work with SABMiller’s board of directors on completing the deal. SABMiller, headquartered in London, said in a statement that no proposal has been

received and the board has no further details about any terms.

AB InBev must announce a firm intention by Oct. 14.

The biggest question hanging over any deal is antitrust. One potential holdup could be SABMil-

ler’s 58% stake in MillerCoors, the brewer of Coors Light and Molson Canadian. Molson Coors, which owns the rest of MillerCoors, has the right to increase its stake in the company if SABMiller is taken over.

“The likelihood is that for any deal to go through, SAB would have to end its joint venture in the U.S. with Molson Coors,” says Jonny Forsyth, an analyst at market research firm Mintel.

Ankur Kapoor, a partner at antitrust law firm Constantine Cannon, says the combined firms could control 70% of the U.S. beer market with the top brands: Budweiser, Miller and Coors.

“You can just imagine what the reaction would be if GM, Ford and Chrysler tried to merge. This is not dissimilar,” Kapoor says.

“Without a divestiture, I think there’s little or no chance for a deal.”

U.S. considering Russian proposal on Syria talks Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday the United States is considering a Russian proposal to hold military talks about Syria, amid concerns that Russia is building its presence in that country.

The Russians proposed a military-to-military conversation on how to prevent a potential conflict with the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria and to provide “a complete and clear under-

standing” of Russian intentions there, Kerry said at a State Department news conference.

Kerry, who said he favors such talks, had a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday and urged Russia to join the U.S. coalition fighting the Islamic State.

The Pentagon said Russia appears to be building a base in Syria, where it has sent dozens of military transport planes in recent days, loaded with armored personnel carriers, tanks, antiaircraft weapons and personnel.

with Syria’s military, which it has backed since the start of Syria’s civil war in 2011. The United States favors removing Syrian President Bashar Assad from power because his troops have killed thousands of people and forced millions to flee, causing the migrant crisis in Europe.

U.S. policy has been that Assad’s brutal execution of the war against rebels, who include U.S.backed opponents and radical groups, has made his rule incompatible with bringing peace through diplomacy in Syria.

The Russian proposal comes as the U.S. effort to train and equip

moderate Syrian rebels to fight the Islamic State has gotten nowhere, according to testimony Wednesday by Defense Undersecretary Christine Wormuth before the Senate Armed Services Committee. She said the ninemonth effort has resulted in four or five U.S.-trained people on the battlefield, and only a few dozen more are on the way.

“There have been setbacks along the way,” Wormuth said, but she insisted “progress has been slow but steady.”

Hungarian police repel migrants at closed border Others reach Croatia, seeking alternate route to refuge

Refugees from Middle Eastern countries walk on railway tracks to the Hungarian border near the northern Serbian town of Horgos on Monday before Hungary sealed its border.

Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Hungarian border police sprayed tear gas Wednesday at migrants on its closed border with Serbia, triggering a stampede. Another group of migrants reached Croatia to take a longer route into Western Europe.

Migrants frustrated at being blocked on the Serbian side of the border threw plastic water bottles and rocks at helmeted riot police and chanted demands that the border be reopened. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons, the Associated Press reported.

“We fled wars and violence and did not expect such brutality and inhumane treatment in Europe,” said Amir Hassan, an Iraqi who was wet from a water cannon and tried to wash tear gas from his eyes, according to AP. “Shame on you, Hungarians,” he shouted.

The clashes took place at a small border crossing in the Serbian village of Horgos, a short distance from the main border

crossing into Hungary.

The group of migrants who reached Croatia on Wednesday set out on a new route to Germany and other European countries after Hungary closed its border with Serbia on Tuesday and declared a state of emergency in two southern counties to prevent migrants from illegally entering the country.

Nearly 900 people have entered Croatia, more than 12 hours after the first groups started coming in. Ranko Ostojic, Croatia’s

deputy prime minister, said his country expects about 4,000 migrants to arrive in the coming days en route to richer European Union countries.

Zoran Milanovic, the prime minister of Croatia, an EU member, criticized Hungary’s decision to seal the border.

“We are ready to accept and direct those people,” he told parliament Wednesday. “They will be able to pass through Croatia, and we are working intensively to enable that.”

It is illegal to cross or damage Hungary’s 13-foot-high, razorwire fence on its border with Serbia, and Hungarian police sealed a key crossing on a railway track.

Refugees and migrants blocked the main highway connecting Serbia and Hungary in protest after the border was shut.

In Washington, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic condemned Hungary’s actions of firing tear gas and water cannons at migrants on Serbia’s side of the border.

“I hope that doesn’t happen again,” he said.

Vucic pointed out that unlike Hungary, Serbia has housed, fed and registered migrants and is building additional facilities for the winter.

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter called on Germany Tuesday to take the lead in solving the crisis, comparing it to Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees arriving in the USA in the late 1970s, during his presidency.

The same day, Syrian President Bashar Assad told Russia Today (RT) that Europe isn’t dealing with the cause of the refugee crisis. Thousands of Syrian refugees are heading to Europe, and more than 4 million have been in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt since the outbreak of war in 2011. Russia provides military assistance to the Syrian government.

“It’s not about that Europe didn’t accept them or embrace them as refugees, it’s about not dealing with the cause,” Assad told RT, which is funded by the Russian government. “If you are worried about them, stop supporting terrorists. That’s what we think, regarding the crisis.”

The others weren’t convinced.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul called Trump “sophomoric” and asked, “Do we want someone with that kind of character, that kind of careless language to be negotiating with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, to be negotiating with Iran?” Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, asked about Trump, said fixing the nation’s “extraordinarily difficult” problems “requires a steadiness, that requires an understanding of how the world works. You can’t just, you know, talk about this stuff and insult leaders around the world and expect a good result.”

“Our leading candidate gets his foreign policy from watching television,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said in the undercard debate of four contenders whose low poll standings didn’t get them in the main event.

“That’s not foreign policy; that’s a cartoon character.”

That reflects a change of strategy since the first debate, when most of his competitors were wary of taking on Trump. Then, they calculated that his bombast and penchant for outrageous statements would catch up with him — that, in effect, he would bring down himself.

That hasn’t happened. Even Trump’s suggestion that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly might have asked tough questions because of hormones didn’t dent his standing — or prompt an apology.

In the current RealClearPolitics averages of recent polls, Trump leads retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, his closest competitor, by 5 percentage points in Iowa, 15 points in New Hampshire and

ing by asking the candidates to respond to previous attacks by their opponents.

“If I were sitting at home watching this back and forth, I’d be inclined to turn it off,” Ohio Gov. John Kasich complained.

“We’ve just spent the last 10 minutes here ... with a lot of ad hominem.”

Kasich’s admonition barely slowed the personal attacks. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush repeatedly attacked Trump for his contributions to Democratic candidates.

Trump, who has frequently criticized Bush as “low energy,” retorted, “More energy tonight. I like that.”

Then Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of tech giant HP, and Trump got into a fight over their respective business records. Trump said he would never let Fiorina run one of his businesses.

Foreign policy dominated the first hour of the debate. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said President Obama should cancel next week’s state dinner with the leader of China, while Paul and Bush argued that the president has to talk with rivals, including China and Iran.

That issue reflected a division among the Republican field based as much on temperament as on ideology. On Iran, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called the nuclear deal negotiated by Obama and five other world powers is “catastrophic” and promised he will rip it to “shreds” if he is president. Kasich agreed that the Iran deal is a bad one but said the next president has to enforce it and make sure Iran lives up to the

11 points nationwide.

Take a step back to consider that state of affairs: A reality-TV star mocked as The Donald has managed to build and hold a significant lead over the summer among likely Republican voters nationwide and in the states that hold the first two contests.

Meanwhile, the more credentialed contenders who were viewed as credible nominees from the start have had to rethink their approaches and reassure their donors as they sink in surveys. Bush, whose fundraising clout and family connections haven’t been enough to keep him out of single digits, faced the problematic imperative during the debate to disprove Trump’s jibe that he is “low energy.”

That said, the hurdles now get higher for Trump. The debate Wednesday marked a new phase of the campaign. After a “Summer of Trump,” an onslaught of TV ads financed by candidates and their super PACs will begin to air; organizational efforts will intensify and the record-sized field will begin to be sorted out.

In the debate, former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina referred to Trump’s stumble in that interview when the candidates were asked about policy toward Russia, then pointedly ticked off a

series of specific steps she would take to curtail Putin. Trump answered in much more general terms. “First of all, they have to respect you,” he said.

Fiorina got some of the most sustained applause, including when she declined to accept Trump’s explanation that he was referring to her “persona” when he told an interviewer, “Look at that face!” in describing Fiorina as an unelectable candidate. “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said,” she said.

Trump has made inroads in convincing Republicans he has the qualities and experience a president needs, but he continues to face wide skepticism from others. In an ABC News-Washington Post Poll released this week, Republicans by close to 2-1 said Trump was “qualified to serve as president,” but Americans overall by nearly 2-1 said he wasn’t.

During the debate, Trump sighed and made interjections — “Wrong!” — when others criticized him. When Bush tangled with Trump over whether, as governor, he had prevented Trump from opening casinos in Florida, Trump gave a back-handed compliment: “You’re showing more energy tonight. I like that.” Bush was briefly speechless.

STEWART LENDS STAR POWER TO 9/11 LOBBYING EFFORT

It’s an “embarrassment’’ that firefighters, police officers and others who responded to Ground Zero in New York after the 2001 terrorist attacks must lobby Congress to renew their health coverage, comedian Jon Stewart said Wednesday.

Stewart, clad in a T-shirt honoring the New York City Fire Department, joined Ground Zero first responders and 9/11 survivors in walking door-to-door through the Capitol, lobbying lawmakers to permanently renew the World Trade Center Health Program, which is set to expire at the end of the month.

“By the way, a lot of these guys are sick,’’ Stewart said. “The last thing they need to do is come down here and have to beg for what they’re owed.’’

The health program has enough money to keep operating for at least a few months after Sept. 30, but supporters of legislation to make it permanent want to make sure beneficiaries don’t get warning notices saying their assistance is about to end.

bargain.

There was agreement on Planned Parenthood after undercover videos appeared to show the organization’s executives negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted fetuses. Most candidates said Congress should force Obama to veto a bill defunding it.

“We’re fighting with each other up here,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said. “Let’s ask Hillary Clinton. She believes in the systematic murder of children in the womb to preserve their body parts for sale. ... It’s disgusting.”

Earlier, at an “undercard” debate of second-tier candidates, Trump often dominated the discussion without being on stage.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called Trump a “narcissist” and denied that he was violating Ronald Reagan’s famous commandment not to speak ill of a fellow Republican.

“Let’s stop treating Donald Trump like a Republican,” Jindal said. “If he were really a conservative and 30 points ahead, I would endorse him.”

“Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States,” former New York governor George Pataki said, complaining that the first four questions in the debate were about the real estate mogul.

Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum said only one person benefits from personal attacks on Trump: Democratic candidate Clinton.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham compared Trump’s lack of government experience to that of President Obama and said voters should not replace one “novice” with another.

FAMILY: SHOT CUOMO AIDE DECLARED BRAIN-DEAD

The attorney in New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration who was struck by a stray bullet last week is now brain-dead, according to his family.

Carey Gabay, 43, had been in critical condition at the Kings County Hospital Center since he was shot in the head early Sept. 7, when police say he was seeking cover from gang-related gunfire that rang out as he walked along a Brooklyn street.

An Oklahoma man whose execution was just hours away received a two-week reprieve Wednesday from an appeals court after his lawyers submitted evidence they claimed supported his innocence.

Richard Glossip, 52, had lost his case against the state’s lethal injection protocol at the Supreme Court in late June. Since then, he and his supporters have mounted a case claiming he was innocent in the 1997 murder of his boss at an Oklahoma City budget motel.

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals reset the execution for Sept. 30 so that it could “give fair consideration to the materials included with his subsequent application for post-conviction relief.”

NATION/WORLD Fighting slackens in eastern Ukraine Analysts caution that calm could be ‘head fake’ or short-lived Oren Dorell USA TODAY

A long-sought cease-fire appears to be holding in eastern Ukraine, raising hopes that a truce negotiated in February may finally bring peace between Ukrainian national forces and Russianbacked separatists.

No Ukrainian troops have died in combat this week, the Ukrainian military said, and fighting has fallen to the lowest levels in more than a year, according to the Organization for Security and

Cooperation in Europe.

Ukrainian government and separatist forces maintain large forces close to each other, but the calm “is quite unprecedented,” Michael Bociurkiw, an OSCE spokesman in Kiev, told USA TODAY. “Since the signing of the first Minsk accord (cease-fire) in September of last year, I can’t recall a period like this.”

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after meeting in Moscow with his French, Russian and Ukrainian counterparts Saturday that the ministers agreed to start removing land mines, according to the Associated Press.

Pro-Russian militants train on a tank at a shooting range near Torez, Ukraine, on Monday. The conflict has eased this week. annexed it. Since then, about 8,000 people have died in the fighting, according to the United Nations.

Russia has denied sending weapons or troops into eastern Ukraine, although journalists and officials from the U.S. State De-

partment, NATO and European nations have documented Russian support to the separatists and participation in the fighting.

John Herbst, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, said there’s no sign that Russian President Vladimir Putin has begun to implement the terms of the ceasefire. “There’s been no movement of Russian equipment or soldiers out of Ukraine, so he could raise the temperature back up very quickly,” Herbst said.

The Ukrainian government sought to ease tensions in August, when its parliament approved a draft constitutional amendment to grant greater autonomy to regions held by separatists.

Separatists plan to hold municipal elections Oct. 18.

No credible threats seen against Pope Francis Secret Service not ‘overly concerned’ Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Less than a week before Pope Francis begins his highly anticipated trip to the USA, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy said Wednesday there are no credible threats against the pontiff.

“There is nothing that we’re overly concerned about,” Clancy said in an interview with USA TODAY as authorities prepared to set in motion a massive, rolling security operation that will shadow Francis’ journey from the capital to New York before his departure Sept. 27 following an open air Mass in Philadelphia.

SGT. BERGDAHL TO TELL HIS SIDE ON DESERTION Jim Michaels | USA TODAY

The public hearing, starting this week, will determine whether there is probable cause to proceed to a court-martial on desertion for the soldier alleged to have walked away from his post in Afghanistan and into captivity by the Taliban.

Evan Buetow was home in Washington state last year when he learned Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a member of his team in Afghanistan, had been released after five years in Taliban captivity.

He was glad Bergdahl was safely returned, but a Rose Garden ceremony and hero’s welcome for an alleged deserter didn’t seem right to him.

After President Obama announced that five Taliban leaders were released in exchange for Bergdahl’s freedom, Buetow turned off the TV. “Why are they talking about him like he’s some poor POW, like he never had a choice?” said Buetow, who is no longer in the Army.

Buetow’s feelings reflect one side of a wartime incident that has divided the nation. Bergdahl, 29, has been largely silent since his release, but his version of events will start coming out at a public hearing to begin Thursday in San Antonio. The hearing will determine if there is probable cause to proceed to a court-martial on desertion and other charges. Both sides can present evidence and cross-examine witnesses at the hearing.

Bergdahl is charged with “desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty” and “misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place.” He could face life imprisonment if convicted. At issue is whether he deserted his post in Afghanistan, how he was taken captive by insurgents and the risk comrades who searched for him faced.

His attorney, Eugene Fidell, urged the public not to draw a conclusion until hearing all the evidence. “People ought to keep an open mind,” he said.

The case may not have gotten this far if it were not for the infantrymen who demanded that the nation’s top political and military leaders hold Bergdahl accountable for his actions.

“If we would have kept our mouths shut, it probably would have been swept under the rug,” said Cody Full, a former platoon mate of Bergdahl’s now out of the Army. “There would be a bronze statue of him somewhere.”

Shortly after Bergdahl’s release, national security adviser Susan Rice described his service

The case puts the Army in an awkward position.

The charges against Bergdahl carry a heavy penalty, yet he undoubtedly suffered during five years of Taliban captivity. as honorable.

Soldiers who served with him, however, see nothing honorable about being disloyal to buddies on the front lines of battle by jeopardizing their safety, said Mi-

chael Barbero, a retired Army lieutenant general.

“The greatest value our young troopers hold dear is loyalty to each other,” he said.

“It’s a bond sacred to them.”

That’s particularly true for front-line infantry units. Bergdahl was part of the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment that had established a platoon outpost in a remote section of eastern Afghanistan.

After his disappearance, the military pulled out all stops to recover him, sending out patrols and diverting drones and other resources to scour the area.

“That’s putting people’s lives at unnecessary risk,” Buetow said.

The case puts the Army in an awkward position. The charges against Bergdahl carry a heavy penalty, yet he undoubtedly suffered. Bergdahl said he tried to escape a dozen times and was regularly chained and beaten, according to a statement his attorney released this year.

Should he seek a deal to plead guilty to a lesser charge, the military may have difficulty making a deal because of the controversy surrounding the case.

effort as “unprecedented” in scale, largely because of the enormous swath of the East Coast that must be secured. It is a task made more complex because Francis’ travels coincide with the 70th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York and the arrival of 160 heads of state.

“This is definitely challenging,” said Clancy, whose agency is designated as the lead security planner for all so-called National Special Security Events in the USA. “You break it down city by city, venue by venue,” he said.

Though Clancy said there were no specific threats against the visit, Francis’ U.S. journey begins amid heightened concern about domestic terror attacks inspired by radical groups such as the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. Dozens of alleged Islamic State recruits in the USA have been swept up by federal authorities in recent months, many of them fueled by the terror group’s aggressive social media campaigns targeting disaffected young people.

Attacks show fiber-optic Internet cables vulnerable Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

More than a dozen physical attacks on Internet cables seem to be the work of vandals, not terrorists, experts and the FBI suggest.

Criminals have sliced fiber-optic cables that form the Internet’s backbone in California at least 16 times in the past year, federal officials said. The two newest attacks happened Monday night near Li-

vermore, Calif. The FBI is unaware of any similar attacks elsewhere in the country.

“There’s no physical evidence or intelligence to suggest a motive of terrorism,” said Michele Ernst, with the FBI’s San Francisco office. “But we have not established a motive yet, so we are not ruling anything out.”

AT&T is offering a $250,000 reward in connection with the latest attacks. AT&T’s fiber-optic network is legally considered a critical piece of the nation’s Inter-

net infrastructure, and any attackers are subject to both state and federal prosecution. The FBI has an open investigation into 14 similar attacks on California Internet backbones since summer.

Livermore, a San Francisco Bay Area suburb, is home to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and many high-tech commuters.

Security expert Richard Doherty of New York-based Envisioneering said it’s unlikely a terrorist or foreign government

would make low-level attacks that just inconvenience users.

“If you’re going to do an attack, you find a vulnerability and then shut up about it,” Doherty said Wednesday. He called the cuts a “discoordinated” attack.

The high-capacity lines, no thicker than a pencil, carry vast amounts of data, acting as interstates for the information superhighway. But they’re easily severed. “We just don’t do a very good job of protecting our critical infrastructure,” Doherty said.

IRVING A Texas high school student at the center of a storm after authorities mistook his clock invention for a bomb got a reprieve from the highest level Wednesday. President Obama invited him to the White House.

“Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?” @POTUS tweeted. “We should inspire more kids like you to like science.”

Officials at MacArthur High School in Irving called police Monday after determining that Ahmed Mohamed’s invention looked like a fake bomb. Irving police detained and questioned Ahmed, then let him go.

Police Chief Larry Boyd said Wednesday that the wires looked suspicious — and that freshman Ahmed, 14, was not immediately “forthcoming” other than to say it was a clock.

He said the incident “evolved as it did as a matter of safety” and that no charges will be filed.

Ahmed, who has won awards for his inventions, said he created the clock over the weekend and brought it to school to show an engineering teacher.

Ahmed’s case created a storm on social media, with #IStandWithAhmed trending on Twitter. Hillary Clinton tweeted support, and technol-

Glitches were allowed to linger for more than a decade Kevin Johnson and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

General Motors is close to announcing that it has reached a settlement to resolve a federal criminal investigation into its handling of a deadly ignitionswitch defect blamed for more than 120 deaths and massive recalls, according to a person with

knowledge of the case.

GM would pay a penalty of less than the $1.2 billion Toyota paid in connection with its handling of an unintended acceleration case, the person said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of discussing an open investigation.

The potential settlement was first reported Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources. The deal, which is expected to include a wire fraud charge, could be revealed as early as this week.

The ignition switch defect caused small cars, mostly from

The defect caused small cars ... to turn off suddenly when jostled, cutting off engine power and disabling airbags.

GM’s pre-bankruptcy era, to turn off suddenly when jostled, cutting off engine power and disabling airbags. A GM spokesman declined to comment Wednesday.

GM repeatedly has said it is cooperating with investigators.

GM created and funded an independently administered fund

to examine incident reports and offer settlements to victims after the issue was publicly disclosed in early 2014.

That fund, run by lawyer Ken Feinberg — who also ran the 9/11 victims compensation fund — has approved settlement offers for families of 124 victims who were killed and 275 who were injured.

The settlement between GM and the U.S. Justice Department would put an end to the criminal probe that had included an investigation into whether the automaker had violated bankruptcy law by neglecting to disclose the ignition-switch defect during its

MONEYLINE CONSUMER PRICES DIPPED Inflation remained modest in August as gasoline prices fell sharply, giving the Federal Reserve another reason to delay a hike in interest rates. The consumer price index dipped 0.1%, the Labor Department said Wednesday, in line with economists’ estimates. Prices are up a meager 0.2% the past year. Gasoline prices tumbled 4.1%.

ICAHN: I WON’T BE TRUMP’S TREASURY SECRETARY Billionaire investor Carl Icahn said he does not plan to be Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary, despite a recent statement in which he appeared to have accepted just such an offer from the Republican CNBC presidential Carl Icahn candidate. “I have my day job,” Icahn said.

“I’m not going to be Secretary of the Treasury. I thought I made that clear, but maybe I didn’t.”

Still, Icahn said he agrees with many of Trump’s complaints and said he plans to issue his own presentation in a few weeks outlining his concerns on everything from the stock market to the “problems in our government.”

‘WASHINGTON POST’ OFFERS DEAL TO PRIME MEMBERS ‘The Washington Post,’ owned by Jeff Bezos, cut the price of its digital edition from $9.99 a month to $3.99 for Amazon Prime members, taking advantage of the paper’s unique relationship with the retail giant to broaden its readership. Bezos’ incorporation of his newspaper to other Amazon products has been widely anticipated since the billionaire bought the paper in 2013 for $250 million.

Chapter 11 case in 2009.

In 2014, GM admitted it had allowed an ignition-switch defect to linger for more than a decade.

Investigators found a phalanx of engineers, attorneys and midlevel executives had neglected to grasp the significance of the matter or failed to follow federal guidelines for reporting serious defects.

CEO Mary Barra, who took office a few weeks before the defect was revealed, did not know about the issue until days before it was disclosed. She apologized for the company’s handling of the matter and fired 15 people, including attorneys and engineers.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

When the Fed decision on interest rates hits at 2 p.m. ET Thursday, the reaction of financial markets will tell you what Wall Street thinks about the decision, the Fed’s reasoning and where they think markets might go next.

For weeks now, Wall Street pundits have hit the airwaves, the blogosphere and the business sections of newspapers pontificating whether the time is right for the Fed to hike rates and what the impact will be on stocks, bonds, currencies and every other investment that trades around the globe.

Given that the “market” weighs the opinion of all investors, the reaction of markets around the

The beer game heats up with potential buyout Q: Is Molson Coors the next target?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Molson Coors’ stock was a big winner Wednesday on news beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev has approached rival SABMiller about a buyout.

Investors wonder if Molson Coors might benefit. Shares of Molson Coors jumped more than 14% to roughly $83 a share Wednesday.

Investors figure Molson Coors might be able to buy some SABMiller U.S. assets for a song if regulators require Anheuser to divest of them. Molson Coors could use size and cost benefits.

Already, nine companies control 60% of the revenue collected by beverage companies traded on major global exchanges, according to data from S&P Capital IQ and USA TODAY. Molson Coors is definitely looking smallish as the giants merge. It currently is the 23rd-largest brewer on a major global exchange. But such stock run-ups based on speculation are not the basis of a sound investment strategy. Investors can consider speculation, but need to evaluate what a company is now.

Molson Coors is dealing with challenges in its business. Analysts expect adjusted profit per share to fall 9.4% in the current fiscal year and say the stock is fully valued.

Beer is losing business in the U.S. to wine and spirits, Joseph Agnese of S&P Capital IQ says.

Apple makes $1.1T bet that you’ll want an iPhone payment Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

You already have a car payment and a mortgage. Why not add an “iPhone payment,” too?

That’s what Apple and Apple investors are betting on. Apple’s move to allow consumers to finance their iPhones by creating a lease program called Apple Upgrade Program turns Apple into a bond-like source of cash — rather than a tech company that must deliver annual innovation.

The rising conviction Apple’s

DAVID PAUL MORRIS, BLOOMBERG

Apple’s move to finance iPhones is seen by investors as a positive.

financing plan will continue to get consumers to pay up for its smartphones is driving the stock higher. Shares have been up for days. Wednesday, Apple stock was

almost unchanged at about $116 despite news that a bug has forced it to delay its Apple Watch software upgrade.

In Apple’s financing deal, consumers would agree to pay $32 a month for a 16 GB version of the latest iPhone. That includes a warranty and the right to upgrade to the latest handset in a year. But the biggest impact is on Apple’s surging finances because consumers sign up for a payment plan much like they do with car leases. Most important, Apple continues to get consumers to pay $650 for a smartphone in an era in which smartphone prices

are falling.

If Apple is successful in convincing consumers to sign up for payments, the impact could be huge, analysts say. UBS estimates Apple’s stock would be worth $200 a share — or about 70% more than it is today — if valued as a recurring revenue stream. Investors love predictable cash flow and are willing to pay higher multiples for predictability.

If the financing plan provides the power to push Apple’s stock to $200 a share, it would give Apple a market value of $1.1 trillion.

Apple would finally become the first $1 trillion company as bulls

have said it can be.

“The iPhone Upgrade Program could be a big deal,” UBS analyst Steven Milunovich says in a note to clients. UBS has a $150 a share price target on Apple stock.

Bullishness over Apple’s financing program led Angelo Zino, analyst at S&P Capital IQ, to boost the firm’s rating to “buy” from “hold” on Apple stock: “Our upgrade primarily reflects (Apple’s) compelling valuation ... our favorable view of leasing programs and other promotions by carriers and Apple and belief that downside to near-term estimates now appear less likely.”

Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

TORONTO With director Scott Cooper’s Black Mass, South Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger joins Al Capone, John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde and other infamous gangsters on the big screen.

What superhero movies are to the zeitgeist now, Mob films were to the 1930s and ’40s — as well as the ’70s, ’80s and early ’90s, when Goodfellas and The Godfather trilogy fascinated cinema culture.

Yet Cooper acknowledges that he never thought he was making a gangster movie.

Instead he saw Black Mass (in theaters Friday), which had a gala Monday at Toronto International Film Festival, as a humanistic drama centered on three guys who grew up in South Boston together.

“I didn’t want to make a film about criminals who just happen to be humans,” Cooper says. “I wanted to make a film about

WALTER MCBRIDE, FILMMAGIC

Johnny Depp and director Scott Cooper set out to make more than just a traditional gangster film in Black Mass.

humans who just happen to be criminals.”

For the director, there’s a big difference between the two, and it starts with Johnny Depp’s performance as Bulger, leader of Boston’s Winter Hill Gang in the late 1970s. Bulger used his childhood friendship with FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) — who grew up in “Southie” with Bulger and his brother Billy (Benedict Cumberbatch), who became a Massachusetts state senator — to become an in-

formant in order to take down the Italian Mob and get enough protection from the feds to rule the city’s underworld.

The bonds of friendship between the Bulgers and Connolly led to their downfall, Cooper says, but at its heart, Black Mass is “about loyalty and the fact that in South Boston during this time, certain lawman and certain criminals were virtually indistinguishable.”

Warner Bros., the company releasing Black Mass, used to be known as the gangster studio, releasing The Public Enemy, Little Caesar and many of the preWorld War II films Cooper grew up loving. He notes that because the studio didn’t cast “movie stars” in those roles, people who were suffering through the Great Depression “saw themselves” in actors such as Edward

G. Robinson and James Cagney.

The genre’s popularity spoke to a necessary sense of escapism, Depp says. In the 1930s, “the average bloke was looking forward to that next day’s headline in the newspaper to see what Dillinger had done. He was doing, especially in that period, everything that people would have loved to been able to do.”

The mythology of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather allowed Cooper to go from his everyday life in southwestern Virginia “into this Italian world that I just found intoxicating and riveting and (that’s) still in my marrow, honestly.”

While perhaps a little different from crime dramas before it, the director’s approach to Black Mass was quite beautiful, Depp says.

“It would have been easy to dive into this thing as if it were just simply a gangster film,” the actor says. “What Scott caught on to right off the bat was, ‘No, man, this is a story about people.

Present the people, warts and all, and then allow their personality, their way of life, to reveal themselves.’ ”

“It would have been easy to dive into this thing as if it were just simply a gangster film.

What (director Scott Cooper) caught on to was, ‘No, man, this is a story about people.”

ROYALS REPORT BOND PREMIERE Duchess Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry will add a hefty helping of star power when the latest James Bond spy thriller, ‘Spectre,’ premieres at a royal performance next month in London. Kensington Palace has announced this year’s Royal Film Performance will be Oct. 26 at the Royal Albert Hall. The event is held annually to raise money for the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, the charity that supports behind-the-scenes workers in the British film and TV industries.

TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Gender identity at core of two Toronto films Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

TORONTO Eddie Redmayne and Elle Fanning are joining Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox in educating pop culture about gender identity.

In director Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl (in theaters Nov. 27), Redmayne stars as Lili Elbe, an icon in the LGBT community and the first person known to receive gender-reassignment surgery, in 1930. In a more contemporary tale, Fanning plays a teenage girl whose family has trouble coming to grips with the fact that he identifies as a boy in About Ray, expected in theaters this fall. Both movies are featured at Toronto International Film Festival.

As with his Oscar-winning role as physicist Stephen Hawking in last year’s The Theory of Everything, Redmayne acknowledges feeling “great responsibility” depicting the transition of Einar Wegener, an artist uncomfortable in his skin, to the freer Lili.

The emotional story was the most complicated part of it, yet

GEORGE NICHOLIS

About Ray stars Elle Fanning as a teenage girl who identifies as a boy, and the struggles his family has accepting him. one key to understanding the character was a drawing of Lili when she was living as Einar, wearing a rigid suit with a huge, high starched collar.

“You can see her features, despite this masculine attire,” Redmayne says. “And you felt like she had constructed this exoskeleton on herself, and it was about finding out how to unravel that.”

But the actor also found talk-

ing to trans women a help in finding parallels to Lili’s journey. One described to Redmayne how Halloween was amazing for her because she could dress up, go out and feel as though she belonged.

“One night when she was dressed as a woman but before having come out, this man came up and started to talking to her,” Redmayne recalls. She experienced “fear mixed with exhilara-

tion of blending mixed with ‘What if this man doesn’t realize, and what’s the danger?’ ” Fanning found a wealth of knowledge in talking with transgender teen boys. They would tell the actress small details, like what brand of chest binder they wore, to help her performance.

“They were so brave to tell a complete stranger like me what they’ve gone through,” Fanning says. “You can’t imagine how painful it must be to not feel accepted. There’s no option in it — it’s just who they are.”

Jenner has opened up the conversation on gender identity to a mass audience, Fanning says. But with high suicide rates and continued discrimination and violence toward transgender people, society has a way to go, Redmayne says — even nearly 100 years on from Lili’s story.

The cisgender community — those who identify with their own sex — has a responsibility to understand and learn to be allies, Redmayne says.

“I was ignorant before,” he says. “It’s been several years of education, and my education continues.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Catch 13

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Rutgers will be arresting foe Six arrested Rutgers football players, two charged in a home invasion, four with assault, have been dismissed from the team in the past two weeks.

Head coach Kyle Flood was tagged with a threegame suspension for initiating contact with a faculty member regarding a player’s grades that knocks him out of the home game vs. Kansas one week from Saturday.

Wide receiver Leonte Carroo, the team’s best player, was suspended indefinitely for an “incident” outside the locker room Saturday after a 37-34 loss to Washington State.

Rutgers faces all these distractions and will take on more bumps and bruises playing Penn State on Saturday as Kansas rests and spends two weeks preparing for the Scarlet Knights.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

You are if you’re thinking it’s all a cruel tease to make you believe Kansas finally will end a losing streak that stands at 33 games away from Memorial Stadium.

It’s going to take more than a bona fide Football Bowl Subdivision squad roster at the start of the season losing a half-dozen players and a head coach to fall to the level of a Kansas roster so woefully shy of depth, talent, size and speed. It will take more than that to make the byeweek advantages to become significant enough to make KU anything but a heavy underdog vs. the Big Ten program in disarray.

Not that Kansas can’t win. Upsets do happen.

And Rutgers does have vulnerabilities. Three of the booted players came from the secondary and it has shown. Two weeks into the season, including a 63-13 victory vs. Norfolk State of the Football Championship Subdivision, Rutgers has surrendered 677 passing yards and six touchdown passes and has intercepted one pass.

So far, Kansas hasn’t shown the ability to exploit that sort of weakness. Montell Cozart doesn’t specialize in shredding secondaries with down-field strikes.

True, Rutgers hasn’t yet seen a running back as good as Ke’aun Kinner, KU’s best football player, averaging 6.3 yards per carry. But if a quarterback can’t hit home runs there are ways to stop the running game.

Two games in, the Rutgers defense allowed 2.0 yards per carry.

Even against a diminished Rutgers, it will require a Kansas quarterback having a career day to keep New Jersey from becoming the 13th state to become part of KU’s road losing streak, joining Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska, Georgia, Oklahoma, Illinois, West Virginia and North Carolina.

KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER TRE’ PARMALEE (11) EYES THE END ZONE AS HE HEADS IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN during the Jayhawks’ game with South Dakota State on Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium.

Baker’s dozen of wideouts has seen field

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

They said it was coming and they did not lie.

All offseason, the Kansas University football program’s offensive coaches said the team’s new Air Raid offense would be one that employed as many as eight or nine wide receivers in a single game on a regular basis.

And through the first two games of the 2015 season — home losses to South Dakota State and Memphis — offensive coordinator Rob Likens and the rest of his staff have come close to matching that total.

In the opener, seven different KU receivers caught passes. Three wideouts (Tre’ Parmalee, Bobby Hartzog and Steven Sims Jr.) caught three balls. Three others (Darious Crawley, Joshua Stanford and Shakiem Barbel) finished with two receptions. And one other, sophomore Derrick Neal, finished with one catch.

Even that, however, was crucial, as Neal’s lone reception a 20-yard gain late in the fourth quarter, came on the last pass of the game, which

set up the Jayhawks with a first down inside SDSU territory and put junior quarterback Montell Cozart in position to attempt a spike that would’ve stopped the clock and could’ve led to a gametying field goal.

A week later, six different Kansas receivers caught passes in the Jayhawks’ loss to Memphis.

The distribution was a little more top-heavy in Week 2, but the most interesting thing about it was the fact that the man who led the Jayhawks with six receptions and 38 yards against the Tigers (sophomore Tyler Patrick) did not even play in Week 1.

Five other players listed as wide receivers on the KU roster hit the field during the first two weeks of the season, though most of the playing time dished out to Seth Conway, Matt Hentges, Emmanuel Moore, Quincy Perdue and Eric Rivers was limited to special teams.

Still, that makes for a total of 13 wideouts who have been put into the game during the first two weeks of the season, which speaks both to the “earn it” mentality that head

coach David Beaty has made the team’s mantra, as well as the readily available opportunities for players to make an impact regardless of where they sit on the depth chart at any given point in time.

“You know what, we just need those guys to play the role that they are asked to play on a day-to-day basis,” Beaty said after the opener.

“We don’t care who does it.

That’s why, I mean, we were rolling guys in and out of that game. It looked like a circus, I’m pretty sure, guys coming in and out, and that’s all part of what we do philosophywise.”

While several Jayhawks have received their chance to impress the coaches, Beaty said the group was still not where he wanted it to be in one area.

“We have to be more physical out there,” he said.

“There’s a high standard out there to put body blows on those DBs throughout the game so that when the fourth quarter gets here those body blows add up. We don’t want a DB to go five, six plays without getting touched. He needs to get hands laid on

him every play from the first quarter to the fourth.”

As he continued, Beaty explained the reason behind the premium put on contact.

“We talk about stealing his concentration late in the game,” he added. “Because if you’re putting your hands on him all game, there’s going to be a time where he’s going to fit wrong because he’s trying to avoid you and we need that to start talking hold.”

Bourbon rolling Former KU running back Brandon Bourbon, now a senior playing out his eligibility at nearby Washburn University in Topeka, needs just 42 yards to match his entire season rushing output during any one of his years with the Jayhawks.

The oft-injured Bourbon, who explored getting a sixth year of eligibility at Kansas before transferring to Washburn, leads the Ichabods in rushing through two games with 149 yards and a touchdown on 42 carries.

Bourbon’s best single-season rushing total at KU came Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Firebirds find rhythm, split home triangular

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s volleyball team has several players who can step up and dominate a game on any given night. The problem is just trying to find consistency for each game.

For the second straight day, the Firebirds had trouble in their first match before finding their rhythm.

They split their home triangular on Wednesday, losing to Emporia (25-27, 25-16, 30-28) and defeating Topeka

Seaman (25-20, 21-25, 25-17) at FSHS. It was the second time the Firebirds beat Seaman this season, after a straight set victory in their season opener.

“I think we were mentally more prepared for the Seaman game just because we had played them before,” senior Lauren Johnson said.

“In the Emporia game, we played as individuals, then in the Seaman game, we were more of a team. Everyone was having fun with

KANSAS CITY’S MIKE MOUSTAKAS (8) IS CONGRATULATED by Alex Rios (15) after Moustakas hit a solo home run during the Indians’ 5-1 win Wednesday in Cleveland.

Royals’ offense comes up short Cleveland (ap) — Royals manager Ned Yost was unhappy with Danny Duffy. The left-hander fully understood why.

Duffy only lasted 21⁄3 innings and allowed four runs Wednesday night, sending the Cleveland Indians to a 5-1 win over Kansas City.

The defending American League champion Royals lost for the ninth time in 12 games, cutting their lead over Toronto to two games for the best record in American League.

“I didn’t do anything close to my job today and I cost our team a chance to advance in the standings,” Duffy said. “This one stings a little bit worse than most because I have much more in the tank than I showed out there.”

Duffy (7-8) surrendered six hits and walked two in his second-shortest outing of the season.

He went one-plus inning against Cleveland on May 6, making him 0-2 with a 21.60 ERA against the Indians in 2015.

Defensively, Emma Barberena led with 16 digs, Erin Friedrichsen had eight digs and Naomi Hickman recorded six blocks.

What was the difference against Seaman?

“Just having fun,” Johnson said. “The chemistry on the team is starting to get so much better. People are just bringing their ‘A’ game. It was just good stuff.”

But against Emporia (ranked No. 10 in Class 5A), the Firebirds (8-7) struggled defensively and were inconsistent on offense. Naomi Hickman, the 6-foot-5 middle blocker, led the team with 13 kills, including nine in the third set, but it wasn’t enough for the Firebirds to pull away.

“Our defense was just

Against Seaman, the Firebirds had six players finish with at least four kills: Larissa Gaumer, Naomi Hickman, Natalie Clarke, Payton Gannaway, Rachel Hickman and Allie Knapp. With strong sets from Johnson and Jenalee Dickson, the Firebirds just found the hot hand.

Rachel Hickman, Gannaway and Knapp shined in the first set, picking up key kills after the Vikings tied the score at 19-all.

In the final set, Gaumer stepped up for three kills in Free State’s last five points.

not there tonight for the Emporia game,” FSHS coach Amy Hoffsommer said. “It was a lot of chaos going on and not really holding our ground and reading hitters very well.”

After winning the first set against Emporia, 2725, the Firebirds lost the first seven points of the second set. Despite players possessing the ability to dominant for stretches, they are still working on their consistency.

“There’s part of me that loves it because then I know, ‘OK, somebody is going to step up tonight,’” Hoffsommer said. “Part of me hates it because I just want consistent play out of my players.”

The Firebirds will play in the Shawnee Mission South triangular at 5 p.m. on Sept. 24.

Blue Ribbon Yearbook has ranked Kansas University’s basketball team No. 5 in the country in its preseason Top 25 poll which was released on Wednesday.

Kentucky checked in at No. 1 for the second straight season, followed

by Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, KU, Duke, Arizona, Iowa State, Villanova, Gonzaga, Wichita State, Cal, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Oregon, Purdue, Utah, SMU, Texas A&M, UConn, Butler and Dayton.

“As we began the process of putting together our book back in the spring, Kentucky wouldn’t have been our preseason No. 1,” Blue Ribbon editor Chris Dortch said in a release.

“But then the Wildcats signed Jamal Murray from Canada in June.

He’s so good we thought that, combined with the players returning and other great newcomers, including Skal Labissiere, the mix has the potential for another deep run in the NCAA tournament.”

MICHAEL PORTER, at left. toughest in the country by Goodman. l

Tracking Porter: KU coach Bill Self attended a workout of blue-chip junior prospect Michael Porter on Wednesday morning in Columbia, Missouri. Porter, a 6-8 small forward from Tolton Catholic High School, who is ranked No. 3 in the Class of 2017

by Rivals.com, is considering KU, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Stanford, Missouri, Syracuse, UCLA, Virginia and Washington.

Self then flew to Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, to visit with Harry Giles, a 6-10 senior forward, who is ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2016. Giles and Porter will attend the Oct. 9 Late Night in the Phog.

Oak Hill also has the country’s No. 72-rated player in 6-7 senior forward Braxton Blackwell, who has KU on his list. l

Copter coverage a nono?: North Carolina State may have committed a secondary NCAA rules violation last week in possibly publicizing the arrival of Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried via helicopter at recruit Dennis Smith Jr.’s high school, Trinity Christian in Fayetteville.

The Fayetteville Observer showed up to take pictures and shoot video of the copter’s landing with Gottfried, who was making a recruiting visit.

The Fayetteville Observer has stated the news organization learned in advance of the event from officials at the high school, not N.C. State.

The NCAA forbids schools from publicizing recruiting visits. The newspaper cited NCAA rule 13.10.1 which states, “a member institution shall not permit a media entity to be present during any recruiting contact made by an institution’s coaching staff member.”

An NCAA official told the Observer in an email: “If a coach shows up for an in-house visit and media is present at the request of the recruit or high school, the coach is not permitted to speak with the recruit in the presence of the media.”

Nonconference slate eighth best: KU’s nonconference schedule for the 2015-16 season has been ranked eighth best in the country by ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.

“Bill Self’s Jayhawks played the toughest nonconference schedule two years ago and checked in at No. 2 last season. This one isn’t quite as tough, but still cracks the top 10 with Kentucky at home, Michigan State in Chicago, three games in Maui (the Jayhawks will play either UCLA or UNLV in the second game) and also a road contest at San Diego State,” Goodman writes.

KU also will play Oregon State in Sprint Center and have home games against Northern Colorado, Loyola (Maryland), Harvard, Holy Cross, Montana and UC Irvine. Kentucky’s nonconference slate was ranked

Young update: Trae Young, a 6-1 junior point guard from Norman (Oklahoma) North High, who is ranked No. 26 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, will make several unofficial visits in coming weeks, Zagsblog. com reports.

Young, who has talked about attending the same school as Porter, will attend the Oct. 9 Late Night. Young will also visit Texas this weekend and Kentucky for Big Blue Madness on Oct. 16.

He’s also considering Duke, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arizona, Virginia, Washington and others. UCLA has dropped Young as a recruit now that it has received a commitment from No. 23 rated Jaylen Hands, a 6-1 junior from Balboa City School in San Diego.

Beetle to sit out season: West Virginia suffered a major loss this week when it was announced James “Beetle” Bolden, a 6-foot freshman from Covington, Kentucky, is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL and sprained MCL in his right knee.

Bolden, from Covington, Kentucky, averaged 10.7 points in three games during WVU’s trip to the Bahamas in August. He had 10 steals and eight assists during those three contests.

“Beetle’s a great kid, and I know he will put the time in with Randy (Meador, coordinator of athletic training services) and come back stronger and hungrier than ever,” coach Bob Huggins said.

Chiefs looking to solve Manning Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Peyton Manning sounded just as stumped in trying to describe his success against Kansas City as the Chiefs have looked when trying to slow down the Denver Broncos quarterback.

Fourteen times, Manning has faced the Chiefs.

Thirteen times, he has been victorious.

“I don’t know if it’s really worth trying to explain,” Manning said ahead of tonight’s earlyseason showdown between AFC West contenders. “It’s in the past.

Here we are, in a new season, that’s kind of where I guess I’m thinking the most, playing a good team at home.”

Still, only three quarterbacks since 1950 — Otto Graham against the Cardinals, John Elway versus the Patriots, and Roger Staubach against the Giants — have managed better winning percentages against another team, according to STATS. All three of them are Hall of Famers.

Two of those victories

by Manning came in the playoffs, when he was calling the signals for the Indianapolis Colts. But it’s not as if things have changed with Denver: Manning is 6-0 against the Chiefs the past three years.

“Everybody knows he’s a great player,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“They all know — the whole league knows. But you prepare for the team, and focus on that, and the battles you have within that. I want the players concentrating on that part of it.”

Rather than the way Manning has battered the Chiefs over the past 16 years.

There was that virtuoso performance in 2004, when he threw three touchdown passes to knock the 13-3 Chiefs out of the playoffs. Or the pair of five-TD games Manning’s had against them. Or the two flawless performances last year, when he combined to throw five more TD passes without a pick.

CAPSULE DENVER (1-0) at KANSAS CITY (1-0) 7:25 tonight, CBS/NFL Network (WOW channels 5, 13, 205, 213/154, 230 LINE — Chiefs by 3 RECORD VS. SPREAD — Broncos 1-0, Chiefs 1-0 SERIES RECORD — Chiefs lead 56-54 LAST MEETING — Broncos beat Chiefs 29-16, Nov. 30, 2014 LAST WEEK — Broncos beat Ravens 19-13; Chiefs beat Texans 27-20 AP PRO32 RANKING — Broncos No. 3, Chiefs No. 9 BRONCOS OFFENSE — OVERALL (27), RUSH (T24), PASS (27).

BRONCOS DEFENSE — OVERALL (1), RUSH (6), PASS (1).

CHIEFS OFFENSE — OVERALL (15), RUSH (15), PASS (T11).

CHIEFS DEFENSE — OVERALL (T21), RUSH (15), PASS (23).

STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES — Broncos have won six straight in rivalry. ...

Denver has won 12 consecutive division road games dating, tied with San Francisco (1987-90) for longest streak in NFL history. .... Broncos QB Peyton Manning is 13-1 against Chiefs, 2-0 in playoff games.

“They’ve all been different,” Reid said of the recent contests. “Some of them have been very close, we just came up short on them. Majority of them have been very close. They’re good battles.”

Perhaps it was wise Manning didn’t waste time reviewing his record against Kansas City, considering both teams have just four days to prepare — and the Broncos must also travel.

“It’s a big challenge, but in this league, everybody gets a chance to do it,” Denver coach Gary Kubiak said. “It’s just that we’re doing it early this year.”

In some ways, that’s a blessing. While the Broncos are coming off a physical win against Baltimore, and Kansas City opened on the road successfully against Houston, both teams are still fresh, better able to deal with the physical toll of a quick turnaround than they might later in the season.
