City commissioners at their meeting this evening are set to consider new regulations that would make it easier for food trucks to operate in the city. After the commission was divided on Amyx the issue last month, Mayor Mike Amyx said he’s now seen enough from the industry that he’s comfortable

Most of the assets and income are associated with Orman’s business interests.

“These filings highlight Greg Orman’s track record of success as a businessman, starting companies and creating jobs,” said Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas.

Roberts reported in August that he and his wife own assets worth between

Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by the state’s largest teachers’ union over a new law ending guaranteed tenure in public schools.

Schmidt filed Schmidt his request Monday in Shawnee County District Court in response

to the lawsuit filed in August by the Kansas National Education Association.

The attorney general contends the union has no standing to sue over the tenure law because it is not directly harmed. He also argues the union can’t show that any individual

has been harmed since the law took effect in July.

The union declined to comment.

Legislators folded the anti-tenure measure into a larger education funding measure. The KNEA lawsuit alleges the move violated a provision of the Kansas Constitution requiring most bills to contain only one subject.

Bank

Bank in 1964. The bank dates back to 1952, when it was founded in downtown Lawrence and was one of only three banks in the city, according to a history published by Douglas County Bank.

Ross Beach died in 2010, but Beach family interests continue to own the bank, Slabaugh said. He said the decision to sell the bank arose as the family decided how it wanted to structure its business holdings for the future.

“It was a really important decision for them,” Slabaugh said. “They were looking for somebody who had a community focus, and for a bank that maintains the same culture we have.”

Metcalf Bank is part of a much larger organization than Douglas County Bank, but is a family-owned institution, Fitzsimmons said. The bank is owned by Central Bancompany. The bank holding company has been owned for four-generations by the Cook family of Jefferson City, Mo., Central Bancompany has assets of about $10 billion, Fitzsimmons said, and owns more than a dozen banks in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Oklahoma.

When the merger is completed, Douglas County Bank customers will have access to 33 branches of Metcalf Bank, which primarily are located in

the Kansas City metro area. Bank customers also will be able to use their debit cards without any additional fees at a national network of more than a thousand ATM locations.

Plans call for all of Douglas County Bank’s locations, including the branch in Eudora, to remain open after the merger, Slabaugh said. The company operates seven branches and has about 85 employees.

Slabaugh said no decisions had been made on how the banks’ two administrative divisions would be merged.

But Fitzsimmons said Slabaugh, who has been with Douglas County Bank for 31 years, will serve as the company’s community bank president. Lending officers, tellers and other key personnel also will remain with the new bank, Fitzsimmons said. He said making sure the community knows the people it banks with is a priority for the bank.

“We very much believe in the community banking model,” Fitzsimmons said. “We have grown to more than $1 billion, but we have done that without ever losing sight of the idea of community banking.”

missioner Bob Schumm, who is a retired restaurant owner. “I don’t think that is fair, but hopefully that won’t happen often.”

The new regulations would lift a three-hour limit on how long a food truck can operate at any one location in the city.

The new regulations would allow food trucks to operate an unlimited number of hours on private property, as long as the food truck and the property’s owner have received the necessary site plan approvals from City Hall. That will include factors such as ensuring there is adequate parking and that the trucks don’t interfere with traffic or other such safety issues.

The new regulations potentially will allow for food trucks to set up in any commercially zoned piece of property that has some excess parking.

Food trucks, however,

won’t be able to operate in publicly owned parking lots, such as the host of city-owned lots in the downtown area. The latest version of the regulations also includes new rules to ensure the trucks are properly maintained and don’t become an eyesore.

The regulations may open the door for a “food truck garden” to develop in the Warehouse Arts District in East Lawrence.

Tom Larkin, an executive with the group developing the district, said his company wants to create a parking area for multiple food trucks at the southwest corner of Eighth and Pennsylvania streets.

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

$1.6 million and $4 million, with outside income in 2013 of between $83,800 and $260,100.

Orman’s report shows holdings in multiple real estate companies with interests in medical buildings, apartments and condominiums. Orman also reports owning a vacation condo unit in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, worth between $1 million and $5 million, which the campaign listed as an investment property.

He also has interests in energy and personal and commercial loans.

Orman is the co-founder

and business ties to Rajat K. Gupta, a former Goldman Sachs board member sentenced to federal prison in 2012 for insider trading, one of the biggest catches in a multiyear government crackdown on Wall Street.

Roberts campaign manager Corry Bliss said the disclosure report doesn’t answer enough questions about those ties and Orman’s other businessman dealings.

“More is expected than the bare minimum requirement Orman released today,” Bliss said.

The disclosure form says

Orman has a 25 percent stake Exemplar Wealth Management, an Olathe firm, worth between $15,000 and $50,000. Orman and Gupta are listing as two of the three owners of more than 5 percent of the firm in annual reports for 2009 through 2013.

Orman’s report also said he served as a director of New Silk Route Advisors, a private, New York-based equity firm from April 2013 to March 2014. Orman was Gupta’s representative, but his disclosure firm lists no stake in the company, nor any compensation.

Established in Tradition

the west to Oak Grove, Mo., in the east. The bank will have about $1.5 billion in assets compared with about $300 million in assets held by Douglas County Bank. The greater asset base is expected to approximately double the bank’s regulatory lending limit, Slabaugh said.

Tom Fitzsimmons, chairman and CEO of Metcalf Bank, said the company was excited about moving into the Lawrence market. Metcalf Bank had eyed expanding into the market previously, but decided against opening a new bank because of the number of financial institutions already operating in Lawrence.

“But we were very excited when Douglas County Bank became available,” Fitzsimmons said. “Its culture is very similar to our culture and how we do banking. Our commitment to the community is the same.”

The deal will end 50 years of ownership by the Beach family, a prominent Kansas family that has interests in natural gas, oil, banking, ranching and other businesses. Ross Beach bought Douglas County

moving forward with the new regulations.

“I had a concern that we don’t see a large number of these food trucks all in one area, but I think we can figure out how to make this work,” Amyx said. “It seems like it is a popular way of doing business.”

Last month, some commissioners had expressed concerns that food trucks may unfairly compete with traditional brickand-mortar restaurants that typically have higher operating costs.

“I do worry about the guy who works hard to establish a restaurant, and then a food truck pulls up beside you and starts poaching your customers,” said City Com-

Dole in state to sing Roberts’ praises

ENDOWMENT

KU gets record $124M

By Thomas Beaumont

Staff Report

Associated Press

Dodge City — A newly upholstered chair and an American flag dominated Village Square Mall on the west side of Dodge City, the Kansas hometown of Sen. Pat Roberts, who is seeking reelection. But the man who took the seat — and who commanded the audience of more than Roberts 200 — wasn’t Roberts.

“He’s your friend, my friend, Kansas’ friend and Kansas’ greatest senator, Bob Dole,” Roberts said.

Dole The Monday campaign event for Roberts, who is locked in a suddenly tough re-election battle in typically Republican Kansas, was more an honor ceremony for Dole, the 91-yearold former Senate majority leader, World War II veteran and 1996 Republican presidential nominee.

Bus vandalism under investigation Staff Report

A Lawrence school bus was vandalized over the weekend with graffiti that included racial slurs and obscenities directed at Free State High School.

Photos on social media showed both sides of the bus tagged with blue spray paint. Lawrence police and school resource officers are investigating.

The vandalism comes after Lawrence High’s football field was vandalized by five FSHS students last week.

“While we don’t know who is responsible for the damage to the bus, it’s especially disappointing that this happened after what we viewed as a unified response of disgust from the school district and both of Please see SENATE, page 4A our high schools last week

to vandalism on one of our campuses,” Lawrence superintendent Rick Doll said in a statement.

“The district continues its equity work in our schools and will use both of these incidents as realistic examples to spur deeper discussion around the sensitive issues of race and racism,” Doll said.

The First Student bus was parked at First Southern Baptist Church, 4300 W. Sixth St. Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said the incident occurred sometime between 5 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

The vandalism was reported to First Student early Monday morning when the bus driver showed up to run the route, according to First

Student spokeswoman Jen Biddinger.

Several members of the Lawrence school board commented on the two acts of vandalism at their meeting Monday.

Shannon Kimball, president of the board, said she is “deeply offended by these racial and vulgar acts of vandalism and I condemn them in the strongest terms.”

In regards to the LHS vandalism, she said that discipline measures, which cannot be disclosed, were appropriate for those involved.

She also made a point of saying those responsible were not football team members.

“I know that’s been a question that’s been asked,” Kimball said.

Bob Byers, another

board member, also condemned the acts and warned against downplaying the them as “kids being kids.”

“This wasn’t (about) a rivalry between our schools,” he said. “This was five young men who took the opportunity out and the time out to spew their racial hatred.”

A relief bus was sent to run the route to substitute the vandalized bus, and First Student staff were arranging for cleanup of the vandalism.

“It did not affect service,” Biddinger said.

The church parking lot is where the bus usually begins its route, Biddinger said. It is routine for some buses to be stationed at different spots as opposed to all being in one lot, she said.

The Kansas University Endowment on Monday reported providing a record $124.1 million in private donations to support KU and the Kansas University Hospital.

The funds are used according to donors’ specifications and include scholarships, fellowships and awards to more than 6,000 students.

The funding also goes to nearly all academic programs, faculty, the construction of new facilities, patient Seuferling care, research, the arts, and library and museum acquisitions.

“Philanthropic support benefits every student, faculty member and program,” said Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, the fundraising arm of KU. “It helps propel the university and hospital forward and ensures their longterm vitality.”

The $124.1 million total was $4.7 million more than last year, which had been the previous record.

Seuferling said he hoped Please see KU, page 4A

KU spokesman discusses how he promotes school’s image

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: @ljwrothschild

Since coming to Kansas University three years ago, Tim Caboni, KU’s principal spokesman, said he has tried to elevate the school’s profile both on the state and na- Caboni tional stage.

Speaking on Monday to the Rotary Club at Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive, Caboni said his job has

been to establish KU in the minds of Kansans as the state’s flagship university and to get the school mentioned — in a positive way — in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal as many times as possible.

“We have to own who we are and what we aspire to be,” Caboni said.

The effort has meant

“

We have to own who we are and what we aspire to be.”

— Tim Caboni, KU’s principal spokesman

overhauling KU websites, newsletters and mission statements, he said.

A native of New Orleans who has a doctorate in higher education leadership and policy from Vanderbilt University, Caboni said during his first trip to

western Kansas that he was admonished not to describe KU as the “flagship university” for fear of antagonizing Kansas State University backers.

But, he said, KU is the flagship university and needs to be thought of as such. He said KU

isn’t competing against K-State but aspires to be mentioned among well-known flagship universities, such as the University of Florida, University of Indiana, University of Iowa, Michigan State University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and University of Virginia.

Generally, “flagship university” refers to the school in a state that has the largest amount of research funding, most doctoral

programs and a medical school.

He noted that before the Jayhawk was the KU mascot, it referred to Free State Kansans around the time of the Civil War who “were a group of folks who believed in something larger than themselves.”

“Being a Jayhawk is key and core to every message we send,” he said.

Restaurant Week to return next year Apartment developers

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The first Lawrence Restaurant Week went well enough that organizers say they “definitely” want to repeat it next year.

“We’re just thrilled,” said Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., which organized the event. “It was just so well-received.”

Nineteen downtown restaurants participated in Restaurant Week, which ran Sept.

14 through Saturday. In keeping with larger-city restaurant weeks that in-

Senate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Dole held court for nearly an hour, reminiscing about his 46 years in Congress, his effort to spearhead the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. and, now and then, Roberts.

“Pat and I been friends for some time,” said Dole.

“When I had a problem in the House getting a bill passed, I’d call Pat.” But Dole’s and Roberts’ tones were distinct.

Dole hearkened back to his collaboration with the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan to ensure that Social Security remains solvent through 2027, recalling how they agreed: “We can’t let this fail. There are 30 million Americans who rely on Social Security.”

By contrast, Roberts argued that only a Republican majority could fix the Senate’s impasse and referred to Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid as “a dictator.”

“We have to get the Senate back so we can get things going again,” Roberts said.

Republicans need to gain six seats to capture the majority, and until this month, Roberts was

spired the event, most offered a special prix-fixe menu for which diners paid a set price for a multicourse meal.

Zogry said the public was engaged, and many shared their dining experiences online via social media. As hoped, she said, she heard of a number of people going out more than once during the week.

“That’s what we wanted because we do have the wide range of pricing and offerings,” she said.

And most restaurants were pleased with the response, she said. Milton’s, for example, enjoyed a

packed patio during the week, which corresponded with the restaurant announcing its new dinner menu.

Zogry said 715 reported it had dozens of diners ordering its Restaurant Week special every night and had to tweak its menu as the week went on because it sold out of certain dishes.

Participating in such an event can be a hassle for restaurants, because they’re adding new dishes and changing their routines, Zogry said.

However, she said, it allowed a number of restaurants to gauge diners’

reaction about potential future menu items, and Lawrence will probably see more than one Restaurant Week special on a permanent menu soon.

Zogry said organizers pulled the first Restaurant Week together in a fairly short amount of time. Looking ahead, she said, next year’s event could benefit from getting an earlier start on planning and promoting.

She said the possibility is there for Downtown Lawrence Inc. to include restaurants beyond downtown in the event.

not considered vulnerable.

But Democrat Chad Taylor’s exit from the race — and the rise of independent Greg Orman, a wealthy businessman from the Kansas City suburbs — have suddenly made this seat a national target. Republicans have held both Kansas Senate seats since 1938.

Several attendees said they came to see Dole, who lives in Washington, D.C. “Bob Dole is the last of the statesmen,” said Floris Jean Hampton, a retired rancher who lives near Dodge City. Asked if she would vote for Roberts, Floris said, “Everything’s on the table.”

Dole appeared physically frail, and his formerly-deep voice sounded hoarse. He traveled from the car to the mall in a wheelchair and, once inside the mall, he walked slowly, bracing against a member of his security detail.

But he was sharp discussing issues and unleashed at times his characteristically dry sense of humor.

“I have a litany of things that Pat’s done for Dodge City, but at my age I’ve forgot them all,” Dole said.

Dole, who plans to campaign with Roberts Tuesday, could bestow

upon Roberts some of the bipartisan glow that the longtime Kansas leader sought to impart.

“Bob Dole is universally respected in Kansas,” said Bill Lacy, a former Dole aide and current director of the Dole Institute for Politics at University of Kansas in Lawrence. “Bob Dole transcends the politics of today.”

Roberts and his campaign have said in recent days they plan to paint Orman as a liberal Democrat and a rubber stamp vote for Reid.

Having eked out victory in a GOP primary in August, Roberts was urged by national Republicans to overhaul his campaign. He admitted during a debate that he visited Dodge City only seven times this year.

He told reporters Monday that he visits “every chance I can.”

Orman, of Olathe, disclosed in documents submitted to the Senate that he owns assets worth between $21.5 million and $86 million.

Questions have arisen in recent days about the source of Orman’s wealth, given his business and personal ties to convicted financier Rajat K. Gupta, a former Goldman Sachs board member sentenced to federal prison in 2012 for insider trading.

want parking code exception near KU

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

The developer of a proposed $75 million apartment complex near Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium is seeking permission at Tuesday’s City Commission meeting to build 100 fewer parking spaces than generally required.

But city commissioners on Monday said they aren’t sure the crowded Oread neighborhood that surrounds the site is the right place to tinker with the city’s parking code.

“We need to be extremely careful about this,” said Mayor Mike Amyx. “Parking in Oread is a real concern.”

Commissioner Bob Schumm also expressed concerns about the request for reduced parking. Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said he was still undecided.

“I’m really going back and forth on this one,” Farmer said. “We already have invested a significant amount of time on

this project, and I really want them to come here.”

The developer proposes to build 237 upscale apartments and about 13,000 square feet of retail space in a multistory building at 1101 and 1115 Indiana Street. City code requires one parking space per bedroom in the apartment complex. Officials with the Chicago-based development group HERE, LLC is asking commissioners to allow a 15 percent reduction in parking, dropping the total spaces in the development to 584.

A representative with HERE told commissioners in a letter that he is asking for the reduction, in part, because the city’s parking standards appear to be higher than those in several other communities.

The request comes after the project has gone through the planning process, and after commissioners in July narrowly approved a 10-year, 85 percent property tax rebate for the project.

New polls show closer numbers in governor’s race Topeka — The polling firm Rasmussen Reports on Monday released details of its latest poll that appears to show the Kansas governor’s race tightening, which raises as many questions as it answers.

Their latest poll, conducted Sept. 16-17, shows Democrat Paul Davis leading by four points, 4743 percent over Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. That’s significantly closer than Rasmussen’s earlier poll in August which showed Davis up by 10 points.

It also shows a closer race than either of the other two recent public polls in the governor’s race. The Democratic firm Public Policy Polling showed Davis up by

BRIEFLY Sheriff: Driver steals police vehicle Topeka — A Kansas sheriff says a deputy pulled over to help a stranded motorist, who stole the officer’s vehicle and led officers on a chase.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the chase happened Sunday night in Geary County.

The sheriff says an officer stopped to help a woman along the side of the road who appeared to be suffering from asthma. He says the officer took her to his patrol car to wait for EMS before she jumped in the front seat and took off, leaving the officer behind.

Spike strips left by Grandview Plaza officers eventually disabled the stolen vehicle and the woman was arrested.

It’s unclear if she’s been charged.

12-hour search ends in arrest of alleged shooter Overland Park — Authorities in northeast Kansas have arrested a man suspected of firing a shot at a Johnson County sheriff’s deputy.

The deputy was unhurt in the shooting early Monday, which set off a massive search for more than 12 hours in the southern part of the county. The sheriff’s department says the suspect was arrested without incident several miles from where the confrontation occurred.

The deputy was investigating a reported break-in at a construction site when the suspect fired a shot before fleeing. Authorities said the deputy did not return fire.

Several schools in the Blue Valley district were placed on heightened alert during the search.

Law enforcement officers patrolled bus stops during the morning.

six points in mid-September, while SurveyUSA showed Davis ahead by seven points earlier in the month.

Buried within the top line numbers are a few details that might explain why the race is tightening — or at least why the Rasmussen polls show that it is.

Perhaps the most in-

triguing statistic, and the most puzzling, is the breakdown by race.

Among nonwhite voters, Davis held a 64-25 percent advantage over Brownback in August.

That wasn’t especially surprising for a Democrat, given the way blacks and Hispanics have voted in recent national elections.

In 2012, for instance, exit polling showed Barack Obama won 93 percent of the African-American vote and 73 percent of the Hispanic vote.

But September, according to Rasmussen, those numbers for Brownback and Davis have virtually flipped. The new poll shows Brownback leading among nonwhites, 51-36 percent. That’s a 26-point swing in Brown-

This month, the gap on social issues has narrowed to just four points (42-38 percent), and Brownback now scores even with Davis on trust to deal with government spending: 40 percent each.

Former state budget director says higher education vulnerable because of tax cuts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Former state budget director Duane Goossen said Monday that higher education funding was “vulnerable” because of huge tax cuts that he said are undermining the state budget.

“They have other resources and that is why they are probably more vulnerable,” Goossen said during a presentation at the Lawrence Public Library.

About 25 people attended the discussion, which was hosted by the Kansas Farmers Union.

Citing statistics provided by the non-partisan Kansas Legislative Research Department, Goossen said the tax cuts

championed by Gov. Sam Brownback will reduce revenues to the state general fund by $3.7 billion through 2018. The current annual budget is $6.3 billion.

Last year alone, the state took in $700 million less than the year before, as income tax and business tax cuts took effect, he said.

“No other state has done anything as dramatic as Kansas has done in the last two years,” said Goossen, who served as budget director for 12 years under Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican, and Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, both Democrats.

Brownback, a Republican, has argued the tax cuts will spur prosperity

“

The current approved budget will have to be cut back. The state should be acting right now.”

— Duane Goossen, former state budget director and job growth.

Goossen said that growth isn’t happening and state reserve funds will soon be used up, which will force deep spending reductions.

“The current approved budget will have to be cut back. The state should be acting right now,” he said.

Brownback’s Democratic opponent, Paul Davis, has been highly critical of Brownback’s tax policy. Davis has proposed stalling future tax cuts that are already in

law.

But Goossen said with a Republican-majority Legislature that would be difficult to accomplish.

Goossen said the state highway fund might be another area that legislators use to help balance the budget. And, he said, rural school districts have been hit hard by property tax increases because of the lack of state funding.

Joseph Agrillo, of Lawrence, who attended the meeting, said he felt like more could be cut from

the state budget and that legislators should be doing that now. “The longer you wait, the messier it gets,” he said.

Tamara Hagerman, a farmer from rural Douglas County, said she thought it was unfair that rural areas were seeing higher tax increases for schools than urban areas. When asked if the budget situation would affect her vote, she said, “Let’s just say, I’m not happy with the status quo.”

Goossen will speak on the budget in Seneca on Wednesday and Belleville on Thursday as part of the Farmers Union presentations.

Students can use online service to report bullies

By Brian Burnes The Kansas City Star

Belton, Mo. — Belton middle school students used to drop complaints about bullies into slottedlid boxes bolted to hallway walls.

This year, the “Bully Boxes” are gone.

But student reporting of bullies is trending up, because Belton now subscribes to an online reporting service that allows students to call out bullies with discretion, The Kansas City Star reported.

The Park Hill and Platte County school districts also allow students to report bullying through the online site, called Sprigeo.

“No one has to know it was you, unless you want them to know,” said Halle Reach, a Lakeview Middle School eighth-grader in the Park Hill district.

Though school bullies have been around as long as there as there have been playgrounds, administra-

tors in the Belton and Park Hill districts believe Sprigeo can help reduce it by meeting students on their own digital turf.

Students accessing the site are prompted to click on drop-down boxes to identify locations — in the cafeteria, in the bathroom, at the bus stop — where the bullying occurred, and to name the bully and the bullied. Reports are routed within minutes to designated administrators, who can start investigating.

Just Wednesday night, James Beard, assistant principal at Belton Middle

School/Freshman Center, heard his phone ding while watching the Kansas City Royals game at home. A bullying report had arrived.

“Bullying is something that often occurs over time and the middle school student often will suffer in silence. But with this service, students are reporting early and we can be more proactive,” Beard said.

Administrators like Beard insist that online reporting services do not replace traditional responses to bullying, such as face-toface meetings between students and counselors. But

Sprigeo allows a student to avoid the “stigma” often associated with students who, in the past, could be spotted slipping a paper report into a Bully Box. Sprigeo is one of several online reporting services that have appeared in the last few years, said Sameer Hinduja, criminology and criminal justice professor at Florida Atlantic University and co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center there.

While 49 states, including Missouri and Kansas, have anti-bullying statutes, 11 states also require school

districts to offer websites, hotlines or texting services that allow students to report bullying anonymously.

Neither Kansas nor Missouri requires districts to offer those, said Hinduja, who endorses the principal concept behind online reporting.

“Most teenagers have good hearts, want to help and are looking for a way to speak out, “ said Hinduja.

“But they are also very worried about retaliation, so while they want to serve as eyes and ears they want to do so in a medium they are comfortable with.”

Superintendent Rick Doll said the June election is expected to cost the district $100,000.

The district hopes to recover the $400,000 not recouped by the 2 percent LOB bump by an enrollment increase of 200 students in brick-and-mortar schools. A preliminary count taken earlier in September suggested the district was on pace to hit that mark.

In other business Monday, the board received a report from the Boundary Advisory Committee, which was appointed to evaluate enrollment boundaries for elementary and middle schools.

Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations, presented several recommendations from the committee.

By raising the percentage of an LOB, the district can recover most of the $1.8 million. The school board in June voted to increase the LOB from 31 to 33 percent for the 2014-2015 school year. That would recover $1.4 million of the lost funds.

However, by state law, the district cannot keep its LOB at 33 percent beyond this year without voter approval.

The election will be conducted Jan. 27, 2015, and will determine whether the district has the authority to place the LOB at 33 percent future school years.

A 33 percent LOB would not result in a mill levy increase, but a 31 percent LOB would result in a mill levy decrease.

Other districts elsewhere in the state are taking similar measures. The Olathe school district will decide

Langston Hughes Elementary to Quail Run Elementary.

Arms would aid Ukraine democracy

EDITORIALS

Too soon It’s way too soon for city commissioners to make a commitment to donate land for a new teen center.

A

new teen center for the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence may be a great use of 10 acres near the proposed site of a new city police headquarters but it would be a mistake for Lawrence city commissioners to make a commitment to donate that land tonight or anytime before the Nov. 4 sales tax vote.

Commissioners are set to discuss the donation at tonight’s meeting, but any decision on this project is premature.

It appears the only reason commissioners are considering this issue now is their desire to bolster support for the sales tax to finance the new police headquarters near the West Lawrence interchange on the Kansas Turnpike — a tactic that is, at best, questionable. If the city approves the donation, it would be contingent on public approval of the sales tax increase.

Leaders of the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence are looking at building a teen center that would include a gymnasium, a dance room and study areas for local teens. However, those plans are far from solid. According to the club’s director, the planning still is in “the discovery phase.” A feasibility study for the project isn’t expected to be completed until late October. Until the club sees the results of that study, it really has no idea what kind of facility it needs, what the best location for that facility would be or what the prospects would be for raising enough money to build a facility with an estimated cost of about $6 million.

The 10 acres that would be donated is part of a 47-acre tract that the city plans to buy from Hallmark. The city needs only about 15 acres for the new police station and is looking at ways to use the rest of the land. The 10 acres the city would donate to the Boys & Girls Club has a value of about $500,000.

Donating land for the teen center may be a good idea, but city commissioners need to step back from a knee-jerk decision based on the first idea that has come their way. Is there any possibility that land might be used to attract a new business to Lawrence, resulting in new jobs and tax revenue for the city? If the city wants to make that land available for a non-profit use, are there other local agencies that would like to submit proposals for the city’s consideration?

Perhaps the land could be split into two or more parcels that would benefit a number of local non-profits.

The Boys & Girls Club does wonderful work in Lawrence, but, at this point, the plans for a new teen center are far too tentative to justify a city commitment to donate land for the project.

When Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko addressed a joint session of Congress last week, he called on members to support Ukrainian freedom and democracy.

They stood and cheered.

Ukrainians must “live free or die,” the president said, using a slogan from the American Revolution to describe his struggle with “rebels” who have taken over the eastern regions of his country.

In reality, these separatists are Russian proxies, whom the Kremlin armed and organized in an effort to drag Kiev back into Moscow’s orbit.

So it will take far more than cheers (or economic sanctions) to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to resolve this conflict by negotiations. Indeed, Poroshenko urged President Obama and Congress to provide the outmatched Ukrainian army with defensive military equipment.

Obama has refused so far, although legislators on both sides of the aisle seem willing (more on this later).

To understand why providing such aid to Ukraine would serve the cause of Western democracy, one need only compare the violence in Ukraine with the referendum on Scottish independence last week.

In Scotland, we saw an example of European democracy at its finest. A Scottish separatist movement fed up with rule from London organized a grassroots movement that galvanized almost 90 percent of voters to cast ballots on whether to separate from England. Faced with

Scottish discontent, British politicians rushed to address Scottish grievances, promising to devolve more powers.

The voters elected to stay unified with England, but the nationalists haven’t given up.

Contrast that peaceful expression of people power with the actions of Russian-backed separatists in Crimea and the eastern Donbass region who sought to split Ukraine by violence. As Poroshenko told Congress, “The world has been thrown back in time” to a pre-World War II era, when countries changed borders by invading. “The postwar system of checks and balances has been effectively ruined (by Putin’s actions),” Poroshenko warned. Too true.

Unhappy with Ukraine’s turn toward the European Union, Putin decided to dismember the country in order to make it dependent on Moscow. He invaded Ukraine’s

found,” Poroshenko told Congress. In other words, if Putin were open to a negotiated solution, the Kiev government would be ready to devolve serious powers to the Donbass.

But so far, Putin isn’t interested in a democratic solution — the kind that was worked out with Scotland and that could be in Ukraine. Rather, he seeks to forcefully revive a Russian empire — upending the rules that kept post-World War II Europe safe and peaceful. That is a challenge NATO nations cannot ignore.

Which brings us back to what those cheering men and women of Congress should do to help Poroshenko. So far, the White House has pledged $70 million in nonlethal military assistance to Ukraine, including meal rations, blankets, and nightvision goggles — much of which hasn’t yet arrived.

Sen. Robert Menendez, DN.J., has introduced a bill that calls for providing such lethal weapons, along with economic assistance, and a strategy to strengthen Ukrainian civil society and reduce corruption.

The bill also calls for new sanctions on Russia’s defense, energy, and financial sectors if Putin continues to promote violence; it unanimously passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Friday.

“I urge you not to leave us alone,” Poroshenko told Congress. If those cheers meant anything, the Menendez bill should be considered soon.

Crimean region by stealth, and annexed it to Russia. He then revved up a fake, wellarmed separatist movement in the Donbass, terrifying local Russian speakers with ferocious propaganda claiming Kiev fascists would kill them.

When the newly elected Poroshenko rallied poorly trained and armed Ukrainian forces to repel the Kremlin proxies, Putin sent in Russian troops and tanks (and a Russian-supplied missile apparently downed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17).

Despite all that, the pragmatic Poroshenko is trying to compromise with Moscow. He has pushed legislation through the Ukrainian parliament that grants three years of self-governance to areas of the Donbass, guaranteeing the right to use the Russian language as well as local control over economic development.

Most important, those areas would hold elections for local officials on Dec. 7. Poroshenko told an audience at the Atlantic Council that the elections are the key part of the new law — because they would give locals a chance to decide who should represent them in future negotiations with Kiev. The separatists fear elections, Poroshenko said, “because people can demonstrate to whom they will give their votes.”

However, in ongoing talks with separatist leaders and Russians, the separatists are spurning Poroshenko’s offer.

The vandalism that recently occurred at Lawrence High School is a clear reminder that racism still exists across our nation, in our state and even in our hometown. While the Lawrence Police Department quickly apprehended five high school seniors suspected of committing this crime, this incident should not be ignored or quickly forgotten by our community. To simply dismiss this act as “a high school prank taken too far” is to willfully ignore the word of choice used in the graffiti on the field: “N----rs.”

This crime and other recent events in our nation have unavoidably brought the issue of racism into our daily lives and conversations. Because of this, it is critical that we discuss racism and all of its negative effects, not with emotional rants directed at those who disgraced themselves and their school with their behavior, but with meaningful discussions on the matter. Racism must be confronted head-on by every parent, educator, and concerned individual in our community. Frank, honest and open conversations will do a great deal to help stop the spread of racism, which is often born out of ignorance, mistrust and a lack of understanding of people with a different ethnicity or cultural heritage from our own.

The educators and administrators of USD 497 realize the vital role education plays in the process of eliminating racism from both our schools and communities. Our teachers are engaged with our children throughout the school day, during extracurricular activities, and in mentoring programs.

As such, they are some of the most im-

YOUR TURN portant role models our children will have in their lives. The district’s equity work involves individuals at all levels — school board members, administrators, educators, support staff, students, parents and community partners.

More than 500 individuals have participated in a two-day Beyond Diversity seminar that focuses on “Courageous Conversations” for interracial dialogue.

We also have a community-based Equity Council to review educational issues using an equity lens and advise the school board accordingly. The District Equity Leadership Team has developed an Educational Equity and Excellence Masten Plan and meets regularly to guide the district’s equity work. Additionally, all of our school principals and district administrators have completed Leading Equity Anti-Racism Development training.

The district’s “Can We Talk?” program has involved students at the middle and high school levels in equity work within their schools.

When I was in eighth grade, I had an English teacher named Mrs. Johnson. She was a wonderful educator and beautiful person who had no tolerance for profanity or disrespect directed towards anyone. Mrs. Johnson would likely have said the racially charged slur being scrawled onto the LHS football field was “the feeble attempt of a weak mind to express itself

in a forceful manner.” I am certain she would have also advocated for both a meaningful educational experience for those who committed this act and a fitting punishment for their actions.

She believed that some people change when they see the light and others when they feel the heat.

While a quality education can change many minds and help us to become a better society, racism goes beyond education alone and is a societal problem. You can show racists countless facts to demonstrate that their beliefs are unfounded; however, racists will likely ignore these facts, find other racists to support their beliefs and continue to infect their children and families and our communities with their ethnocentric views.

To remove racism from our communities and society we must never turn a blind eye to racism. When racist comments are made, we cannot simply feel uncomfortable and turn away.

We must confront racism at every opportunity and this must be done in our homes, places of worship, schools and workplaces. Silence can be mistaken for implied consent and serve to sustain the behaviors which can divide or even destroy our communities.

Lawrence is rightfully proud of its Free State traditions and its history of standing against racism and oppression.

However, the fight for freedom was not only our forefathers’ battle; it remains our struggle today. The vandalism at Lawrence High School is a good reminder that our beliefs in equality, community and brotherhood must be defended whenever they are challenged or the foundation for the American way of life, that all men are created equal, will simply erode beneath our feet.

“

By Lolita C. Baldor

This won’t look like a shock-and-awe campaign, because that’s not how ISIL is orgaWashington — The nized, but it will be a persistent and sustainU.S. and five Arab countries launched airstrikes able campaign.”

Associated Press

Monday night on Islamic State group targets in Syria, expanding a military campaign into a country whose three-year civil war has given the brutal militant group a safe haven.

Using a mix of manned aircraft — fighter jets and bombers — plus Tomahawk cruise missiles, the strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners — including two American journalists — and captured large swaths of Syria and northern and western Iraq.

U.S. officials said the airstrikes began around 8:30 p.m. EDT, and were conducted by the U.S., Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The first wave of strikes finished about 90 minutes later, but the operation was expected to continue for several more hours, according to one U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly by name about an ongoing mission.

Because the military

— Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff operation was ongoing, no details could be provided yet, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary. He said the military made the decision to strike early Monday. A White House official said Obama was being updated.

The strikes were carried out by manned Air Force and Navy aircraft, and the Tomahawk missiles were launched from U.S. ships in the northern Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is in the Gulf.

Some of the airstrikes were against Islamic State group headquarters in Raqqa in eastern Syria.

Military officials have said the U.S. would target militants’ command and control centers, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.

“We will be prepared to strike ISIL targets in Syria that degrade ISIL’s capabilities,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators last week, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group.

“This won’t look like a

shock-and-awe campaign, because that’s simply not how ISIL is organized, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the plan “includes targeted actions against ISIL safe havens in Syria, including its command and control logistics capabilities and infrastructure.” He said he and Dempsey approved the plan.

The U.S. has also been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligence on potential targets and militant movements. None of Monday’s airstrikes were from drones.

Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria.

In a speech Sept. 10, Obama vowed to go after the militants wherever they may be. And his military leaders told Congress last week that airstrikes within Syria are meant to disrupt the group’s momentum and provide time for the U.S. and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels.

BRIEFLY 40 Iraqi soldiers dead after ISIS raid

at Camp Saqlawiyah near the town of Sijir, 45 miles west of Baghdad. There has been no contact with the 68 captured Iraqi soldiers, who were believed to have been taken to the nearby city of Fallujah, an Islamic State stronghold, said Gen. Rasheed Fleih.

After the attacks, the Iraqi military withdrew 700 more troops stationed in the area, he said.

Baghdad — Islamic State militants disguised in Iraqi army uniforms and driving stolen Humvees killed at least 40 Iraqi soldiers and captured 68 others in western Anbar province, breaking through a deteriorating Iraqi military offensive in an area where the United States recently broadened its airstrike campaign.

The wave of suicide bombings dealt a heavy blow to government efforts to rein in the militants, whose rampage has seized much of the country’s north and west — even as the U.S. and its allies began training Iraq’s Kurdish peshmerga fighters to bolster their ability to battle the Sunni extremists.

ful getting to the red planet on its first try. There have been more than three dozen attempts, and more than half of them have failed.

So U.S. scientists were relieved when Maven reached its destination after a 442 million-mile journey that began nearly a year ago. It joined three spacecraft, two American and one European, orbiting Mars.

Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying the Martian upper atmosphere and the latest step in NASA’s bid to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s.

Flight controllers in Colorado will spend the next six weeks adjusting Maven’s altitude and checking its instruments.

Then in early November, Maven will start probing the upper atmosphere of Mars.

Double Take

UNDERSTANDING ‘CHANGE’

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kyra Haas

No boom of babies in this age group Dr. Wes: I’ve noticed a trend that parallels the tendency of teens and young adults to eschew the idea of marriage. Fewer and fewer show any interest in having kids.

Initially, I jumped for joy to hear 16- and 17-year-olds making a solemn pledge to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Once upon a time, I gave this sociological puzzle to my interns: “What single physiological change in the population would most greatly impact the course of human development?”

My proposed answer was to increase the age of menarche — the point at which girls menstruate — to about 26, generating interesting discussion from “Oh yeah, what about boys?!” to “How would that impact human evolution?”

But my point was simpler than that. Today, young people mature far more slowly socioculturally than they do physically. Reproduction in early adolescence made sense thousands of years ago when we only lived to be 30. It makes no sense now. Starting a family at 13 isn’t an asset anymore. In fact, the ideal age of reproduction is now between 26 and 30.

Intensive outpatient program helps those in crisis stay out of hospital

By Jeff Burkhead Bert Nash Mental Health

IOP, as it’s called, can be thought of as a “recovery” menu.

Included on that menu is a whole range of mental health services that are available, depending on the client’s needs.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center has been helping Douglas

County residents since 1997 — and keeping them out of state and private hospitals whenever possible.

“IOP is a program that is in lieu of being in the hospital,” said Eunice Ruttinger, Adult Services director at the Bert Nash Center. “The program is designed for those individuals we are trying to help divert from going into a hospital or individuals who have not been

responsive to other treatments.”

That was the case with Teresa Treanor of Lawrence. She spent two weeks at an inpatient facility in another state, but came back feeling more depressed.

weeks in IOP,� Treanor said. “So I could actually live my life in the comfort of my own home with my husband and dogs and be with my family, with help a phone call away.�

IOP is preferred to hospitalization, said Bert Nash team leader Juliet Nelson, for numerous reasons. “Really, hospitalization hasn’t been shown to be that effective for individuals in the long-run,� Nelson said. “It can be necessary to prevent someone from doing something really impulsive like killing themselves. But in terms of actually helping someone learn skills and learn how to be in the community while they’re integrating those skills, hospitalization doesn’t work well, because it’s kind of like a lousy vacation. You come back and you have your same issues, in addition to a big hospital bill.�

People who are going through the intensive outpatient program learn new skills, based on another acronym — (DBT) dialectical behavior therapy.

DBT is what is called an evidence-based practice. DBT was developed by noted psychologist Marsha Linehan and targeted people who were in need of intense services because they were selfharming or suicidal.

The research base, including randomized controlled trials and outcome studies (including data collected at the Bert Nash Center), continues to grow in favor of DBT for a number of different disorders, even beyond those that involve selfharm or suicidal behaviors. “Evidence-based means there has been specific research on the outcomes,�

Ruttinger said. “We have evidence that shows us that this is a practice that works for people.�

The Bert Nash Center’s DBT program has also been expanded to include adolescents, ages 12 to 18, and their parents. Multifamily skills training groups include parents and their adolescents so families learn the skills together. “The reason it was expanded so easily is it’s a comprehensive program,� said DBT team leader Nelson. “The skills are appropriate for a variety of different diagnoses.

In fact, they are useful for anyone.�

There are four primary skills that are taught through DBT: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness. “These four skills sets cover areas that are commonly problematic for people struggling with psychiatric issues,� Nelson said.

The “intensive� part of the intensive outpatient program comes from the frequency of skills-training groups and the number of services offered. “People will be in group therapy twice a day, you’ll also have an individual therapist you will see at least once a week, and then you have the availability of coaching calls,�

Nelson said.

Group therapy is an important component of the intensive outpatient program.

Typically, there are 10 to 12 people

.

on the intensive outpatient roster at any given time, who are at various stages in the program. “Generally people find the groups supportive and non-confrontational.

The format is a bit like a classroom, with the topic of study being self-regulation and recovery. It’s also a good way to connect with other people who are in pain,� Nelson said. “That’s something I hear all the time: ‘I had no idea there were other people who feel the same way I do.’ With depression and other mental health issues, people feel so much shame and are often isolative. That’s the fabulous thing about the group process. It shows people they are not alone.�

The intensive outpatient program at Bert Nash runs for about a month. Then there is a step-down process where the frequency of therapy groups will scale down over a four-week period. Upon completion of the intensive out-

patient program, people can continue to receive services on an ongoing basis through the outpatient dialectical behavior therapy program or other outpatient services as appropriate.

People who enter the intensive outpatient program are dealing with a serious mental health crisis. These are tough cases, and timing is critical. “We get a lot of referrals, because people understand that this is immediate, that they can get in very quickly,�

Nelson said. “With crisis situations, you really have to work fast. We don’t like for anybody to have to wait for this service.�

for hot flashes and night sweats. Ask your healthcare provider if MHT is right for you.

If you’re overweight, losing weight might help with hot flashes, according to one recent study.

Vaginal dryness: A water-based, over-thecounter vaginal lubricant can help make sex more comfortable, and an overthe-counter vaginal moisturizer like Replens can help keep needed moisture if used every few days.

Problems sleeping: One of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep is to be physically active.

You might want to avoid exercise close to bedtime, though, since it might make you more awake.

Avoid large meals, smoking and working right before bedtime.

Avoid caffeine after noon and avoid alcohol close to bedtime.

Try drinking something warm before bedtime, such as caffeinefree tea or warm milk.

Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex.

Mood swings: Getting enough sleep and staying physically active will help you feel your best.

Avoid taking on too many duties. Look for positive ways to ease your stress.

Memory problems: Some women complain of memory problems or trouble focusing in midlife. But studies suggest that natural menopause has little effect on these functions.

Getting enough sleep and keeping physically active might help improve symptoms.

Mental exercises may help too, so ask your healthcare provider about them.

Let go of parenthood’s endless worrying; laugh instead Editor’s note: Giles Bruce is off; this week’s guest columnist is Dan Coleman, secretary for the board of Dads of Douglas County.

In the cold light of day, I can get away with calling it a penchant for planning, or on rare occasions when things go right for my fantasy football team, prognostication. But if we call it what it really is—worrying—I don’t have to be modest. I’m a prodigy, and for me, having kids was like turning a young Ray Charles loose in the Steinway showroom.

The all-night jam sessions began when my son arrived. I found inspiration everywhere I looked. The SIDS brochure doubled my heart rate before I even left the hospital, and my incorrect installation of our car seat, which I hadn’t even worried about at all, kept the up-tempo groove going.

Okay, I admit, I got the car seat checked out by professionals, as recommended, so I must have been a little worried. To their credit, they never let on that the way I had it rigged, my son would have had a better chance strapped into a barrel going over Niagara Falls.

I milked a noodling, selfindulgent solo out of it anyway, with a skill new to my repertoire since becoming a parent: the retroactive worry, about something that could have happened, but

of lightning I thought would hit the stroller earlier that day when we were caught out walking in a sudden thunderstorm. It was impossible to stop worrying, but some worst case scenarios were just good clean fun to ponder.

Diaper spook lights, for instance. Somewhere I had read that the top secret, super-absorbent chemical mojo used in disposable diapers can on rare occasions create a harmless but spectacular luminescence in a darkened room, a la the legendary Wint-O-Green Lifesaver sparks.

And how about the eerie specter of carrot babies I visited upon myself on another recent long dark night

of the soul? Egged on by visions of an orangetinted iguana I had seen in a pet store, I became convinced my relentless pushing of carrots and sweet potatoes at dinnertime had led to the unintended consequence of permanently orange children. As it turned out, judging skin tone by the light of a cell phone above my daughter’s crib was almost as fun as it was impossible, especially when she woke up and laughed.

Librarian to the core, I thoroughly researched both scenarios in hopes of stoking my angst with frightening facts. Too many carrots can cause a baby’s skin tone to change slightly, but not permanently, and reports

of diaper spook lights exist, although they look to me more like the stuff of urban legend. But here was a healthier way to pursue my favorite hobby.

If I was going to worry so much, I might as well have some fun with it, and I recommend the same for all parents. For the group nearest and dearest to my heart—expectant dads out there—here’s one of my favorites to get you started: I bet you didn’t know your baby could be born with more back hair than you. Okay, sorry, here’s a tissue. Sometimes you do cry a little before the laughing starts. But look it up. After all her back hair falls out she’ll be so healthy and beautiful the sky will be the limit on your worries.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Odds against college parity The NFL doesn’t rig the system to return the top and bottom teams toward the middle out of kindness.

The shifting of the schedule difficulty from year to year based on teams’ performances, the salary cap, the order of the draft used in all sports all bring about parity.

Why the desire for parity? TV ratings. Parity means so many games go down to the wire, which means TV sets stay tuned to the channel, which means ratings soar, which means the cost of commercial time keeps rising.

I fear college football’s money potential could lead to a ratings-driven parity system. Although that would benefit Kansas, I’m not in favor of it.

Coaches recruit college football players, they don’t draft them in inverse order of the previous year’s finish. So scratch that. The Big 12 schedule stays the same every year, so that parity driver is out of the question.

I fear that when TV reaches the point that it runs college sports the way it does the professional leagues, everything changes.

Golf tournaments have gross and net standings.

Football could adopt a system that blends the two. First, TV executives would need to convince the NCAA that instead of running from gambling, embrace it. Allow tout sheets to advertise on telecasts, billboards, scoreboards, even uniforms.

Next, award two victories and two losses for each game. One point goes to the team that wins outright, the other to the team that wins vs. the betting line. To prevent ties, award a half-point to the underdog in games for which the spread is a whole number.

The system still favors the better teams, but not by as much.

To picture it, consider that Texas is a 14-point favorite Saturday in Memorial Stadium vs. Kansas.

Based on the rule that gives the underdog the half point, if Texas were to win the game 28-14, the Longhorns would get the point for outright winner, the Jayhawks the betting-line point. They both would be 1-1 in the Big 12 standings after one game.

Let’s say Kansas fell behind 28-0 early. Viewers would stay tuned to the game because the second chance at a victory would remain in play because the deficit actually wouldn’t be 28 points, rather 13.5 points.

More viewers means higher commercial rates means more money.

TEXAS COACH CHARLIE STRONG, CENTER, WATCHES THE LONGHORNS PREPARE for their season opener, Aug. 30 against North Texas in Austin, Texas. UT will visit Kansas on Saturday.

Weis, Jayhawks wary of Texas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Forget the fact that they enter Saturday’s 3 p.m. game at Memorial Stadium with a first-year head coach, a 1-2 record and a lack of identity.

The burnt orange on their uniforms and years of success give the Texas Long-

horns all they need to catch any opponent’s attention.

Kansas University coach Charlie Weis emphasized that on Monday morning’s Big 12 coaches teleconference, when asked what it would mean to pull out a victory this weekend against the Longhorns.

“We have a lot of respect for Texas, the program, the

tradition, everything that goes with it,” Weis said. “...

We understand that we’re gonna have to play very well to have a chance. We don’t underestimate the Texas athletes one bit.”

One of the biggest reasons for that is the fact that 25 players listed on the KU roster in this year’s media guide

are natives of the Lone Star State and grew up watching and/or rooting for the Longhorns as young athletes.

Weis and his coaching staff are well aware of that fact, and they hope to tap into it this week as a source of motivation for the Jayhawks (2-1).

Ellis ‘honored’ by preseason attention

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Junior Perry Ellis is Kansas’ top returning scorer (13.5 ppg) and rebounder (6.7)

A year ago, Kansas University freshman sensation Andrew Wiggins adorned the covers of a batch of preseason basketball magazines.

Now with expectations high, but not out of this world, for newcomers Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander, a junior — Perry Ellis — is receiving his share of

preseason pub, appearing on the covers of Sporting News and Athlon’s, not to mention the soon-to-bereleased Journal-World 2014-15 Magazine, of which Ellis and sophomore Wayne Selden adorn the cover.

“I mean, it’s definitely an honor,” said Ellis, KU’s leading returning scorer (13.5 ppg) and rebounder (6.7 rpg) off last year’s 25-10 team.

“Just keep working hard.

It’s been paying off ... from my freshman to my sophomore to my junior year. I’m just going to continue to work. It’s going to be more responsibility on my end, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Ellis, a 6-foot-8, 225-pounder from Wichita Heights, drew rave reviews from those who attended this summer’s Nike Big Man, LeBron James and Adidas Nations camps at

which he worked as a counselor and took part in drills and pickup games.

CBSsports.com’s Jeff Borzello named Ellis as the most improved player at the James camp from a year ago.

“And I thought he was very good last year,” Borzello wrote.

Royals split, gain ground Cleveland (ap) — Danny Duffy pushed the Royals a little closer to the top in the AL Central and nearer their first playoff appearance in 29 years.

Duffy pitched six shutout innings for his first win in more than a month as Kansas City moved within one game of first-place Detroit and kept some distance over Cleveland in the wild-card race, beating the Indians 2-0 on Monday night.

Duffy (9-11), who had thrown just one pitch in September before the start, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first and held the Indians to six hits. The lefthander had been sidelined

since Sept. 6 because of a sore shoulder.

“I wasn’t feeling any pressure,” Duffy said. “I tried to simplify things and not think about the race we’re in.”

Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 44th save as the Royals, seeking their first postseason appearance since 1985, earned an unusual split and moved within one game of the Tigers, who lost 2-0 at home to the White Sox. Earlier, the Royals lost 4-3 in 10 innings in a game suspended Aug. 31 in Kansas City.

Carlos Carrasco (8-6) couldn’t keep the momentum going for the Indians, who remain 31⁄2 games out in the wild card and are quickly running out of time.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The sense of relief at One Arrowhead Drive was palpable.

The first nine games last season were followed by what Chiefs coach Andy Reid calls “Victory Monday.” With the exception of some meetings and treatments, players were mostly given the day off as a reward for a winning performance the previous day.

It took three weeks before the Chiefs’ first “Victory Monday” this season.

Faced with the prospect of a 0-3 start, the injury-plagued team rallied for a 34-15 win in Miami on Sunday. Not only did it enhance the Chiefs’ postseason prospects, at least when put in historical context, it also gave them a boost of confidence heading into what could be the toughest stretch of games they will play this season.

Next up? Monday night at home against New England. After that are road games against playoff contenders San Francisco and San Diego, separated by a get-healthy bye week.

“Just a great feeling,” said Knile Davis, who ran for 132 yards and a touchdown in place of the injured Jamaal Charles.

“You know, wins don’t come often. They are hard to get in the NFL. You get one, it’s just a great feeling.”

It was a comprehensive win, too. No fluke.

Despite playing without seven starters due to injuries and suspensions, the Chiefs dominated the Dolphins in just about every facet.

Chicago holds on, clips Jets East Rutherford, N.J. (ap) — The Chicago Bears took advantage of early mistakes by the sloppy New York Jets.

Then they had to hold their breath before hanging on for a 27-19 victory Monday night.

Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett, and Ryan Mundy returned an interception 45 yards for a score. Cutler finished 23-of-38 for 225 yards, and Alshon Jeffery caught eight passes for 105 yards for the Bears, who got a 45-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to make it an eight-point game with 3:10 remaining.

Jets QB Geno Smith was 26of-43 for 316 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions — and nearly had a few others.

Braves fire GM Wren Atlanta — For nearly a quarter-century, the Atlanta Braves have been all about stability.

That changed Monday.

In their first major off-the-field firing since 1990, the Braves dismissed general manager Frank Wren less than 24 hours after being eliminated from the NL playoff race.

The move came with a week remaining in the regular season. Former Cleveland and Texas general manager John Hart will serve as Wren’s interim replacement.

“It was time,” team President John Schuerholz said. “It was time for the organization’s well-being.”

and 17-year-old nephew at a party in Washington state.

She has pleaded not guilty and the case is scheduled for trial on Nov. 4. She faces up to six months in jail if convicted.

In a statement first reported by USA Today, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said abuse in all forms is unacceptable.

“The allegations involving Ms. Solo are disturbing and are inconsistent with our expectations of Olympians,” Blackmun said. “ We have had discussions with U.S. Soccer and fully expect them to take action if it is determined that the allegations are true.”

Solo continued to play for the United States in exhibition matches and with her National Women’s Soccer League team, the Seattle Reign, following her arrest.

LHS tennis finishes strong SCOREBOARD

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There are a few matches when Lawrence High’s girls tennis players have lost focus. It’s usually at the end of a quadrangular when it’s tough to stay locked in point after point after playing in two previous matches.

Coach Chris Marshall has tried to help by mixing up the lineups, so the Lions didn’t have to play three matches in one day, and he has also tried to get them to adopt an aggressive style of play.

On Monday afternoon, the Lions took a step toward achieving both of those goals when they beat Blue Valley West in their final match of the day and ended with a 1-11 record at the LHS quad.

“They’re getting there,” Marshall said. “We have learned where to hit the

“Very few of those guys ever got a sniff from Texas (in recruiting),” Weis said. “So there’s a lot of incentive for these guys to play their best game, realizing they have a lot of physical guys, and we’re gonna have to play very well to have a chance.”

UT coach Charlie Strong, who won his debut over North Texas but has since lost to BYU and UCLA, uttered similar words about his team, which lost starting quarterback David Ash for the season because of concussion issues and has

“I’m ready. I’ve been working hard, had a great summer with the team and individually at those camps, so I’m definitely looking forward to it,” Ellis said of his junior campaign.

“I’ve been definitely working on my shot,” added Ellis, who hit 54.9 percent of his attempts a year ago. “I’ve been trying to put up as many shots as I can. You can’t put up enough right now.

I’ve been doing that.”

He and his teammates are in the second week of two-week, 6-7 a.m. Bill Self Boot Camp conditioning.

endured several suspensions during the season’s first few weeks.

“It’s about effort,” Strong said. “It’s all still about us and going out and competing and playing with a sense of urgency. We just need to be a team that goes out there and plays with some effort and with great assignments and fundamentals and technique.

You have to win every snap and every play and just play hard.”

Weis hopes to draw on recent experiences versus UT for confidence.

Two years ago, KU held a lead on Texas until the game’s final few seconds. Last year in Austin, the Jayhawks were driving to make it a one-score

contest in the third quarter before the game got away from them.

“Even though the coaching staff is different, and they’re doing different things, Texas still has a bunch of good players,” Weis said. “And in the last two years, our team has been very competitive against Texas.”

Like in those matchups, Weis believes the Jayhawks have to approach this weekend’s meeting a certain way.

“Our team is not built to get into shootouts,” he said. “Our team is more built to try to hang in there and win a slugfest. If we can keep the games like that, it really minimizes your margin for error, but I really be-

One of KU’s team leaders, Ellis was asked which Jayhawks have improved the most since last season.

“Wayne (Selden) has gotten better, I think.

Diallo, who has been playing basketball for four years after playing soccer as a youth in Mali, will visit Iowa State this weekend and St. John’s on Oct. 17. He’s visited Kentucky and Pittsburgh.

KU-WVU kickoff set During the last few seasons, 11 a.m. was the most popular starting time for KU football games.

So far this season, early afternoon games have been more en vogue.

Add another such start to the list, as the Big 12 Conference announced Monday that KU’s Oct. 4 kickoff at West Virginia was slated for 3 p.m. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net. The WVU rematch will mark the third straight early-afternoon kickoff for the Jayhawks.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

White Sox rookie Bassitt baffles Tigers The Associated Press

American League White Sox 2, Tigers 0 Detroit — Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major-league win, and the Chicago White Sox slowed Detroit’s chase of the AL Central title with a victory over the Tigers on Monday night.

Detroit is one game ahead of the second-place Royals, who beat Cleveland 2-0 in their regularly scheduled game. Hours earlier, the Indians finished off a victory in a suspended game against Kansas City.

Tyler Flowers hit a two-run homer for the White Sox, and the Tigers were unable to take advantage of Chicago’s inexperienced starter.

The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central.

The game turned into an unexpected pitchers’ duel between Bassitt and fellow rookie Kyle Lobstein. Both were making their fifth career start, but they looked like aces in the middle of a pennant race.

Bassitt (1-1) went 72⁄3 innings and pitched out of two early jams. He gave up six hits, walked one batter — the last one he faced — and struck out Alex Avila three times but no one else. Jake Petricka got four outs for his 14th save.

Lobstein (1-1) was trying for his second victory, but didn’t get any offensive support. He allowed two runs on five hits and a walk in a career-best seven innings.

Chicago took a 2-0 lead with a two-out rally in the second. Carlos Sanchez hit a ground-rule double to left-center and, on the next pitch, Flowers lined a homer into the White Sox bullpen.

Detroit had a pair of early threats, but Ian Kinsler was caught stealing in the first inning — leaving the bases empty for Miguel Cabrera’s 50th double. Right fielder Avisail Garcia robbed Cabrera of a probable RBI double with a sliding catch in the third.

Cabrera hit another ball hard off Bassitt in the eighth, but his slicing line drive was right at Moises Sierra in left. Victor Martinez drew a walk, and Petricka came in to strike out J.D. Martinez.

Blue Jays 14, Mariners 4 Toronto — Jose Bautista homered and reached base four times, J.A. Happ won for the first time in four starts, and Toronto dealt a blow to Seattle’s wild-card hopes, routing the Mariners.

Bautista went 3-for-3 with a walk and drove in two runs before getting the rest of the night off. His solo homer in the fifth against Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen was his 35th.

Kevin Pillar hit a tworun homer and Anthony Gose added a solo blast as the Blue Jays handed Seattle its third straight defeat.

Seattle gained ground on Kansas City in the wild-card race before taking the field when the Royals lost to Cleveland in a game that had been suspended from Aug. 31.

Not much went right for the Mariners after that.

Happ (10-11) allowed an RBI double by Robinson Cano in the first, and Kyle Seager’s solo homer in the sixth.

Seattle’s James Paxton (6-4) gave up a careerhigh nine runs, walked a career-high six and matched a career-high by giving up seven hits in 22⁄3 innings, his shortest career start.

Paxton came in not having allowed more than three runs in any of his 15 previous starts.

That streak ended quickly when he allowed four runs in the first, three of them on a bases-loaded triple by Danny Valencia.

Paxton, a left-hander from British Columbia was drafted by Toronto in 2009 but did not sign, and played in an independent league before the Mariners drafted him in 2010.

Yankees 5, Orioles 0 New York — Derek Jeter began his final series at Yankee Stadium by breaking open the game with a two-run double, and he had three RBIs to lead the New York Yankees over Baltimore.

Michael Pineda retired his first 13 batters before J.J. Hardy singled sharply to left field, pitching 71⁄3 innings and combining with three relievers on a one-hitter. Jose Pirela, the Yankees’ team-record 57th player this season, became New York’s first player in 34 years to triple in his first big-league at-bat.

AL East champion Baltimore clinched homefield advantage in an AL division series starting Oct. 2 when Detroit lost to Chicago. The Orioles open the postseason against the wild-card playoff winner or the AL Central champion.

Rangers 4, Astros 3 Arlington, Texas — Guilder Rodriguez had his first two major-league hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single, as Texas opened its final homestand with a victory over Houston.

Rougned Odor had a three-run triple for Texas, which won for the ninth time in its last 10 games.

The Rangers got win No. 63 overall, ensuring that they will avoid their first 100-loss season since 1973.

The 31-year-old Rodriguez made his majorleague debut two weeks ago, when the switch-hitting utility infielder was called up after 13 seasons and 1,095 games in the minors, then the most by any current player before finally getting to the majors.

Francisco Liriano won his fourth straight start, and Pittsburgh moved closer to a postseason berth, beating Atlanta.

The Pirates, winners in 10 of their last 12, have a five-game lead over Milwaukee with six games remaining for both teams.

Any combination of two Pittsburgh wins or Brewers losses will guarantee the Pirates at least a spot in the NL wild-card game for the second straight year.

The Pirates still have hopes of winning the NL Central, but they are 21⁄2 games behind first-place St. Louis.

McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, hit his 24th homer in the sixth off starter Aaron Harang.

Liriano (7-10) allowed three hits, walked four and struck out seven in six innings. He extended his consecutive scoreless streak to 28 innings.

Liriano has a 0.69 ERA over his last five starts and 39 innings. He left the game when Jose Tabata pinch-hit in the seventh.

Mark Melancon faced four batters in the ninth to earn his 32nd save in 36 chances.

Atlanta lost its fourth straight to drop to 4-15 in September, worst in the majors. The Braves were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday.

The team’s struggles, combined with a bloated payroll and punchless offense, led to the firing of general manager Frank Wren earlier in the day.

Cardinals 8, Cubs 0 Chicago — Adam Wainwright joined Clayton Kershaw as the majors’ only 20-game winners, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings, and St. Louis beat the Chicago Cubs.

Wainwright hit the 20win mark for the second time while matching his career-high for victories, and the Cardinals moved a step closer toward their second straight division title.

They remained 21⁄2 National League games ahead of PittsPirates 1, Braves 0 burgh in the NL Central Atlanta — Andrew with five to play with the McCutchen homered, Pirates beating Atlanta

1-0. St. Louis clinched its fourth straight playoff appearance on Sunday.

Wainwright (20-9) won his fifth straight start and made it look easy, striking out eight and walking one.

The only other time Wainwright won 20 was in 2010, and that year, victory No. 20 also came at Wrigley Field.

He got plenty of support, with the Cardinals pounding Travis Wood (8-13) for seven runs and eight hits over five innings.

Interleague Diamondbacks 6, Twins 2 Minneapolis — Josh Collmenter pitched six strong innings for his career-best 11th win, Mark Trumbo homered and Arizona beat Minnesota to snap a six-game losing streak.

Trumbo’s two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco (5-12) — his fourth homer in the last 11 games — capped a five-run fifth for the Diamondbacks, who are 7-11 in interleague play.

Collmenter (11-8) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts, matching the longest streak of his career. He’s 3-1 during that span.

Nearly all the hitters in Minnesota’s lineup faced Collmenter for the first time in their careers, and it showed as the Twins reached 90 losses for the fourth straight year since winning the AL Central in 2010.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Daughter worried by mom’s expensive dates Dear Annie: I am a widow in my mid-70s and am comfortably well off. A year after my husband’s death, I moved to an apartment in a smaller city in order to be closer to my daughter’s family. However, they have their own lives and rarely include me in anything except holiday dinners. None of the fun things I envisioned doing with my grandchildren has happened, and I don’t have any old friends in the new city.

I did meet a widower, “Jim,” at a church social. We share a lot of common interests and enjoy going out to dinner and movies together.

The only downside is that Jim lives entirely on his Social Security check, so I always pay my own way on our

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

“dates.” My daughter says Jim is after my money, which may be true, but then sometimes I think she is, too. She’s always asking how much money is in the grandchildren’s college funds and whether I am dipping into it to pay my expenses.

Jim and I are thinking of taking a Mediterranean cruise in which we would share a cabin and I would pay for 75 percent of the com-

New ‘NCIS’ borders on self-parody Isn’t it strange how murder mysteries have become our “comfort food”? We could blame Jerry Bruckheimer (“CSI,” “NCIS”), but the phenomenon dates back to Agatha Christie, if not Arthur Conan Doyle.

People can’t get enough of their “NCIS.” New episodes attract audiences on the order of 20 million. It runs incessantly on cable and has now inspired a second spin-off.

Terms like “comfort food” and “franchise” best describe “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS). Both the city’s culture and the detective genre’s familiar touchstones have been boiled down to bland, tourist-friendly fare, something not unlike the cuisine at highway mall restaurants like Cracker Barrel or Olive Garden.

You know what you’re gonna get.

The use of New Orleans-related cliches is relentless, if not laughable. When agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) isn’t solving crimes, he’s whipping up a batch of shrimp etouffee and andouille sausage in his kitchen, located in his “home,” a huge warehouse space roughly the size of my grammar school.

He’s an amateur stride pianist, a buddy to all of the French Quarter’s jazz greats and is even heard whistling “When the Saints Go Marching In.” “New Orleans” may take the “NCIS” one step too far. It’s one thing to cater to a dependable audience. It’s another to take advantage of them and serve up something very close to parody.

Tonight’s other highlights

Gibbs escorts a genius home from Russia on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS).

“Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr.” (7 p.m., PBS) offers more genealogical sleuthing.

Up from the ashes on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” (8 p.m., ABC).
