hat noise you hear is me trying to whistle the theme music that played before the big showdown scene in High Noon. That’s right, get ready for the showdown that has been eagerly awaited by everyone with an empty toolbox, a broken ladder, and plans of grandeur to build a massive Royals monument in the living room. Lawrence’s Menards store — right next to the Home Depot at 31st and Iowa streets — will open Tuesday.

We began reporting earlier this month that sources and employees at the store told us the mega retailer would open on Tuesday or Wednesday, but now Menards has made it official with a news release saying that Tuesday is the day.

In its release, the company said the new store at 1470 W. 31st St. will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

“We have noticed there is much excitement in the air with the anticipated store opening,” Rob Jones, general manager for the Lawrence Menards, said in a press release. “Our team has been working really hard, and we’re excited to show everyone what we’ve been working on starting Tuesday.”

Topeka — New federal clean air rules will require Kansas electric utilities to cut their rate of carbon emissions by 44 percent, a much higher target than most other states’.

That’s because Kansas currently relies heavily on coal for producing electricity — 61 percent of its net generation, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration — while it uses relatively little natural gas, which produces a lower level of carbon emissions.

Trial

ment is protocol for his office or discipline-worthy, but said his office will address the matter at hand when the defense shows case law supporting their position.

“The defense filed a motion and claimed to be able to provide case law to support their position but did not produce any such case law in court,” Branson said. “Once the defense provides something of substance as to what they think is incorrect, the state will file an appropriate response.”

The question of the sealed affidavit was not the only one raised by the defense attorney.

Swain asked for the trial to be delayed after learning she had not been provided evidence from a September interview regarding information in the sealed affidavit.

Prosecutors are required to share all evidence with the defense team.

Swain said she had not received recordings or a transcript of a “highly exculpatory” police interview with the brother of her client’s co-defendant as of Thursday.

Decena, the prosecutor in the case, acknowledged the information hadn’t been provided to the defense. Decena said the recent interview was part of an “independent investigation” based on information in the affidavit filed under seal.

Decena said it “wasn’t at all the intention of the state” to withhold the interview from the defense, but that the failure to disseminate the evidence may have been an unintentional error by either her or the Lawrence Police Department. “(The police detective) gave me a lot of different things, and I don’t know if that was one of them,” Decena said.

Martin ordered the evidence be given to the defense that day, and it was provided before the hearing concluded.

Martin then rescheduled the trial to begin Jan. 25, when the co-defendant’s brother will be finished with an overseas deployment and able to testify.

Martin also ruled at the hearing Thursday that a few statements the defendant made — including denying knowing the victim and denying his presence at the scene — to a detective after invoking his Miranda rights would be suppressed and not let into evidence at trial.

The man and his codefendant were expelled from Haskell after the allegations and are currently living in Oklahoma after posting $75,000 bonds.

The co-defendant’s trial date has not yet been set, according to court records.

crime — was scheduled to begin Monday. But Thursday, the man’s defense attorney, Sarah Swain, alleged in court that prosecutor Catherine Decena improperly gave a court-sealed affidavit to police detectives, who then improperly shared the sealed affidavit with witnesses — including the alleged victim. The defendant is charged with two counts of rape and one count of sodomy.

The affidavit regards the alleged victim’s previous sexual conduct and was filed under seal in August by the attorney for the man’s co-defendant. The document was filed under seal because of the “rape shield” law, which limits the introduction of evidence at trial regarding an alleged rape victim’s sexual history.

“Taking information supposed to be under seal is a violation of the process,” Swain said. “At a minimum, it is contempt for a prosecutor to be disseminating (sealed documents), and for police officers” to do the same.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson did not specifically address questions from the Journal-World regarding whether dissemination of sealed records to law enforcement is proper, but said the state has the responsibility to investigate the allegations in the affidavit.

“The defense has attempted to pierce the rape shield law, and the state has an obligation to investigate facts that may be germane to that issue,” Branson said in an email.

While Swain read aloud in court from a detective’s interview report that the detective showed a witness a copy of the sealed affidavit, Swain asked the court to hold an evidentiary hearing to explore the alleged improper dissemination of the confidential materials. That hearing is now scheduled for Dec. 11.

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin asked the defense and prosecution to file briefs before the hearing on what they believe the appropriate remedies would be for the alleged improper dissemination.

Prosecutor Mark Simpson will take up that portion of the case since Decena is a respondent in the alleged misconduct, Decena said.

Branson did not directly answer questions from the Journal-World Thursday on whether dissemination of sealed records to law enforce-

Lawrence man pleads not guilty to child rape A 39-year-old Lawrence man accused of raping two young girls pleaded not guilty Thursday to two charges of child rape.

William Joseph Ellis Jr. is accused of raping two girls under age 10 whom he and his late wife, Angela Ellis, babysat, according to the affidavit supporting Ellis’ arrest.

In July 24, police interviewed the two alleged victims under the age of 10, who told officers that they had both been fondled and raped on numerous occasions at their “day care” in Ellis’ trailer home in the 1300 block of Delaware Street, according to the arrest affidavit.

Police arrested William Ellis on July 25. They then interviewed Ellis, during which he stated he had been sexually abusing the girls over the course of a year, according to the affidavit. Ellis

also said he “touched them the way (he) shouldn’t have touched them” and wanted to “reach out for help for what he did,” according to the affidavit.

“You guys got me busted. I’m busted,” William Ellis told investigators, according to the affidavit. “I can’t give you exact numbers, I just know it happened. I’m stupid for doing it.”

Chief Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild set Ellis’ jury trial for Feb. 8. If convicted, he faces a “Hard 40” or minimum 40 years in prison for each count, according to prosecutors.

Ellis has a prior conviction of attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child from 1996, according to court records.

He remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

building materials, but it also carries name brand appliances, pet products, lawn and garden supplies, and the store even carries what it calls “convenience groceries.”

(I remember seeing one of those approximately 5 gallon jugs of cheese puffs at a Menards store.

Combine that with one of those beverage can holders that you wear around your head with an easyto-access straw, and that is both convenience and luxury defined.)

The opening of the store is the latest game changer for the south Iowa Street retail corridor — which has seen Dick’s Sporting Goods open at 27th and Iowa and a host of other smaller redevelopments up and down the corridor. Menards is the biggest single store — by square footage — to open in Lawrence in years.

When you look at the size of Menards you have to look at what is both inside and outside. Unlike Home Depot, Menards has an outdoor lumber yard. That combination makes Menards more than twice as large as the Home Depot store, which was built to small-

er-than-normal standards after Home Depot in the early 2000s failed to win approval from the City Commission for a fullsized store.

As I’ve said before, it will be interesting to see if Home Depot tries to expand its Lawrence store. It will be even more interesting to see if this current City Commission would approve an expansion. The majority of the commission has changed since the Menards plans were approved by City Hall in 2013.

We’ll have to wait and see on all of that. A more immediate issue to watch is whether more development begins to occur around the Menards site. Everybody has been focused on the big Menards store, but the development plans for the project allow for several other lots surrounding the Menards to be developed with retail uses. The last plans I saw showed six lots that could accommodate everything from typical chain restaurants to multi-tenant buildings similar to what exists in front of Best Buy and Home Depot. No specific plans have been filed for buildings yet, and it is a little hard to estimate how large of a store the sites could accommodate because there are

some floodplain issues in play. But I’ve previously had some people familiar with development tell me that perhaps a 20,000-square-foot building could be accommodated, which could bring several national retailers into play.

As for whether the opening of Menards will create high-pitched competition in the home improvement sector, we’ll have to wait and see on that, too. Menards and Home Depot are obviously used to competing against each other in a lot of markets.

I’m sure those two retailers know what they need to do to compete.

It will be interesting to watch how the competition impacts other, smaller businesses that are in that segment. I thinking about everything from McCray Lumber on Sixth Street to the Ace Hardware stores in town. I even heard from some people associated with the wholesale building, plumbing and electrical supply businesses in town. Menards is expected to compete for some of that wholesale business, too. We’ll see how that all shakes out.

LOTTERY

Carbon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Plan came to light this week when Westar Energy announced plans to retire some of its older, smaller generating units and eliminate 40 jobs in Lawrence, Tecumseh and Hutchinson.

Although the new carbon standards were only part of the reason for Westar’s decision — a company spokeswoman said the units were scheduled for retirement anyway because they had long outlived their expected usefulness — the announcement provided new fodder for Republican lawmakers to lash out at President Barack Obama over his environmental policies.

“The Obama administration has placed Westar in an impossible situation, and we now have 40 Kansas jobs that are the first announced victims of the EPA’s Clean Power Plan,” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said in a written statement.

“This decision was forced upon Westar as a direct result of regulations that killed their ability to retrofit and upgrade existing plants.”

Rep. Dennis Hedke, of Wichita, who chairs the House Energy and Environment Committee and who openly denies that carbon emissions are causing global climate change, predicted more layoff announcements soon will follow.

“Due to the Clean Power Plan, this announcement from Westar is the

harbinger for a wave of plant closures across America, resulting in a significant increase in the electric bill of every Kansas family,” Hedke said.

Westar said that while the total number of jobs at the company will decline, it expects to place employees affected by the changes in other open positions within the company.

Nationwide, the EPA expects utilities to cut carbon emissions by 32 percent below their 2005 levels. But different standards apply to each state, based on their current mix of coal and natural gas electric plants.

States have the option of using either of two ways of measuring carbon emissions: a ratebased measurement, measured in pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced; or a massbased system, measured by the average annual number of tons of carbon emissions.

According to an EPA fact sheet on Kansas’ standards, using the ratebased measurement, Kansas utilities would be expected to cut their carbon emissions 44.2 percent, from 2,319 pounds per megawatt, down to 1,293.

But that would still be on the high end of the scale, according to the EPA. The benchmarks for all states ranges from 771 pounds per megawatt to 1,305 pounds per megawatt.

Under the mass-based measurement, the reduction would be smaller, about 36 percent, to roughly 22 million tons of carbon dioxide per year.

The Clean Power Plan WEDNESDAY’S POWERBALL 15 20 29 31 40 (1) is scheduled to take effect Nov. 13. But a group of 15 TUESDAY’S MEGA MILLIONS states, including Kansas, 7 9 24 38 52 (1) are suing to block the WEDNESDAY’S new rules.

“We look at the fuel cost associated with each type of generation, and we look at what is least costly,” she said. “Even with lower natural gas prices, it’s still -5 cents, $4.96 cheaper to produce electricity with coal.”

decision on new commerce chief

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback said Thursday that he is interviewing three potential candidates to be the state’s next commerce secretary, and he plans to make an announcement sometime after completion of their background checks.

“We’ve had some good candidates. The KBI background (check) takes a long time,” Brownback said. “I wish it didn’t take so long because that would be helpful for us to get those moving through faster, but you don’t make any announcement until you’ve got those.”

The Kansas Department of Commerce has been without a permanent secretary since Pat George resigned in June.

KC native, ‘American Idol’ winner David Cook to take Lied Center stage

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

“Is Abe and Jake’s still there?”

David Cook is in Utah — or he was on Wednesday for a gig in Park City.

But sitting at an elevation of 7,000 feet surrounded by the craggy peaks of the Wasatch mountain range, Cook’s mind is elsewhere.

The Missouri-bred musician and season seven “American Idol” winner is trying to remember just how long ago it was that he last performed in Lawrence.

Cook will return to the site of those early days this weekend, albeit in a slightly larger venue. His “Digital Vein” tour — which shares the name of his newest album — makes a stop at the Lied Center this Saturday.

Abe and Jake’s was one of his first shows, back when his Kansas City band (Cook hails from Blue Springs, Mo.) opened for an alt-rock outfit with the somewhat creepy name of Caroline’s Spine.

Yes, Abe and Jake’s is still there, he’s reassured.

Cook thinks about it a moment, then backpedals.

“I think Maroon 5 might have opened that show, actually. They might have still been Kara’s Flowers back then. I’m dating myself here,” he says with a laugh. “That must have been more than 10 years ago, at least.”

A lot’s happened since then. Cook, now 32, skyrocketed to fame after his 2008 win on “American Idol,” went platinum with his first major-label album in 2009, parted ways with RCA Records after the release of his second in 2011 and dropped his third post-“Idol” album, “Digital Vein,” just last month.

“This record just reignited my love for making music. I had contemplated maybe hanging it up for a little bit,” he says.

“I just wanted to see if I could still enjoy making music, so I started writ-

Quail Run kids get hands-on tribal history lesson Commerce CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

After six weeks of studying Native American history, Quail Run students take turns ducking inside a 15-foot tepee Thursday afternoon. The fifth-grade students have spent weeks researching different North American tribes and soon will make their own, much smaller versions of traditional dwellings — hogans, longhouses, wickiups — as part of model villages.

The villages, which are the final project of the sixweek unit, will include elements representing the traditional clothing, food and culture of tribes from different regions in North America, explained fifthgrade teacher Brenda Meyers. Meyers said the students will make every part of the models by hand, and that the project helps the unit go beyond the dates and facts to the wider story.

“It helps put it on their level,” she said. “It shows how we are alike and different.”

Another way connections are made between the students and the material is through the integrated library program, which is used in elementary schools throughout the Lawrence school district.

As part of the accompanying library unit, the students learned about how Native Americans were

QUAIL RUN SECOND-GRADER RYAN TOOMAY is the first of her classmates to head inside a teepee outside the school Thursday. The teepee was on loan to fifth-grade teacher Brenda Meyers, who is teaching her social studies class about Native American clothing, food and culture.

“

It’s really important for the kids because they see the local connection. It’s good for them to see how things have changed in our own experience.”

— Jenny Gorup, Quail Run School librarian forced to attend boarding schools and that Haskell Institute — now Haskell Indian Nations University — once served as one such school. The local element, along with reading a story about a Native American boy sent to boarding school, makes the topic more relatable, said Quail Run librarian Jenny Gorup.

“What it really does is put Lawrence on the map to host major authors, and we’re delighted for the community to be able to enjoy it without charge.”

Before the event, Morgan said, she was able to enjoy lunch with Russell and came to find that the author is “very Lawrence.”

mor,” Morgan said.

That sense of humor was quick to flare up as Russell approached the podium to deliver her lecture in a self-described “drunk grandpa” style.

She joked about Thursday’s Lawrence Zombie Walk, and at several points in her speech she glanced about the room, hoping to see one of the younger members of the undead, though none seemed to be in attendance.

“I don’t see any zombies in the crowd,” she said. “But maybe you’re just skillfully disguised.”

Throughout the evening, the Florida native, now living in Portland, spoke at great lengths about her connection with geography and other, often indeterminate, forces that affected her life.

In particular, she gave thanks for her childhood in South Florida, a place, she said, where fantasy and reality often coincide.

American cultures was also important for her personally, she added.

“It kind of got me to know my mom better, and where I came from,” she said.

While the unit concludes next week when the students construct their model villages, as the school year goes on they will refer back to the lessons learned as the students study colonialism and westward expansion, Meyers said.

“It’s how we got to where we are today and who played a part in that, so kids know how things were shaped,” Meyers said.

guage, according to KU. Google acquired Keyhole in the early 2000’s and it became what’s now known as Google Earth, and McClendon became vice president of research at Google, also overseeing Google Maps and Street View. Earlier this year he left Google to become vice president of advanced technologies at Uber.

Evans has taken to the air, wheat and oil fields to capture the Great Plains, resulting in “ stunning photographs that are beautiful, sensitive, humane and provocative,” according to KU’s biography on her.

“They compel us to look closely at the places we live, the way we shape them, and the way they shape us.”

Evans has work in major museum collections including the Chicago Art Institute, Museum of Modern Art, N.Y., and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Anonymous Was a Woman Award.

The Kansas Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting Oct. 29 about plans for major changes to the west leg of Kansas Highway 10 South Lawrence Trafficway.

The long-term goal is to improve K-10 to the standards of a four-lane freeway from the Kansas Turnpike interchange west of Lawrence to the U.S. Highway 59 interchange to the south, offering a seamless connection between I-70 and Interstate 435 in the Kansas City area.

KDOT officials want to recommend a final plan for the project by early 2016.

The meeting will run from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Southwest Middle School cafeteria, 2511 Inverness Drive.

During a briefing in September with the Lawrence City Commission and the Douglas County Commission, KDOT officials said one option for the highway included cutting off access to the Farmers Turnpike and building a new exit farther west to serve Lecompton. Another option included eliminating the connection between K-10 and Clinton Parkway.

“Where you grow up has a profound impact on how you see the world,” she told the crowd. “Normal in Florida can read like a peyote-fueled dream in other parts of America.”

In addition, Russell spoke of ghosts, her literary influences, cocaine cowboys, race riots in Miami, the thoughts of parrots, Leo Tolstoy, Sigmund Freud and the Florida Everglades before opening up the microphone to a brief question and answer session.

“She’s just so bizarre,” said Linda Niehoff, who

attended the event with her husband, Kenny. “It was interesting to see how her mind works and how quick she is.”

Niehoff said she found Russell encouraging, especially her thoughts on exploring a story’s setting and characters.

“It was really intriguing as a reader and as a writer,” she said. “I love her short stories. I feel like there’s a novel’s worth of info in each one.”

Son should visit mom, but pressure won’t help Dear Annie: My wife and I are nearly 90 years old. Five months ago, she had a stroke and has since been residing in a nursing home. We both come from small families. Everyone has visited my wife except for our oldest son.

I called my older son and asked when he was going to see his mother.

His response was a tirade, saying, “Who are you to tell me when to visit?” I told him I have a lot of things on my mind and cannot listen to his outburst, and then I hung up.

We’ve never had a conflict prior to this outburst. Until now, he had been visiting three or four times a year. As a result of our age and health, we have not visited his home for the past few years.

Our younger son is very supportive in

Either way, you cannot

‘Truth’ the sad kind of throwback A “new” comedy that only seems 40 years old, “Truth Be Told” (7:30 p.m., NBC) tries to be topical. It features two married couples who spend all their time together, cracking wise while exuding a focus group’s notion of diversity.

Mitch (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Russell (Tone Bell) are best buds and neighbors. Mitch teaches a college ethics course and Russell works as a standup comedian. Mitch is a white guy who projects a preppy enthusiasm, but is still “down” with hiphop. Russell is black and wears red shoes and funny ties and drives a Porsche, but is still taken for a valet. For such good friends, they seem to engage in chitchat more suited to strangers navigating a minefield of racial sensitivities. It’s a tad painful to watch.

Consumed with caring for their 4-year-old, Mitch and his wife, Tracy (Vanessa Lachey), have not been out on the town for months. That changes when Russell’s wife, Angie (Bresha Webb), scores tickets to a JayZ concert. The pilot revolves around the search for a baby sitter and much talk about the complications and guilty feelings that ensue when there is a “hot” young girl around the house.

Better series, from the recently concluded “Key & Peele” to NBC’s throwback “The Carmichael Show,” have demonstrated how much humor can be mined from topics of race and political correctness.

“Carmichael” proved that the old Norman Lear approach of heavy topicality could still have relevance, and seem funny, decades removed from “All in the Family.” ‘‘Truth Be Told” merely reminds us that a generation after Archie Bunker, TV dialogue between white and black characters discussing race can still seem tentative, awkward and utterly contrived.

Tonight’s other highlights

Racers contend with Victoria Falls on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

“Undateable” (7 p.m., NBC) airs live.

A workaholic moves to a more mellow environment on a repeat of the pilot episode of the charming and original musical comedy “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (8 p.m., CW).

“Live From Lincoln Center” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents a revival of the musical “Show Boat,” featuring Vanessa Williams and Julian Ovenden.

An art gallery in a subway station celebrates the urban legend of alligators roaming New York’s sewer system on “Mysteries at the Museum” (8 p.m., Travel).

force him to visit, even though, obviously, he should. Instead, phone him and say, gently, “I realize how difficult it is for you to come to the nursing home. Whenever you can make it, I know your mother would love to see you, and so would I.” No arguing or pressuring. The rest is up to him.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend has been divorced for 33 years.

Still, he and his ex-wife find excuses to continue to communicate about their grown sons.

Recently, I got excited about getting one son a gift for his 35th birthday.

My boyfriend said they “don’t do gifts around here.” So I gave it up.

Then I found out that he had gone in on a gift with his ex.

Why do you think he had to lie to me about it? Should I take it as

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) You might want to have an important talk in the morning, but news seems to point you in a different direction. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating encourages a better response than you thought possible. You will see ideas evolve. Tonight: Share with a loved one.

a clue and move on?

— Outside Looking In Dear Outside: First of all, it is normal for divorced parents to communicate about their grown children until the end of time. It is only a problem if one of the expartners has designs on the other or if they are overly involved in one another’s lives.

Lying about a gift, however, is worrisome.

Your boyfriend may have lied because he thought you’d be angry, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. It only undermines your trust.

These are the things you need to talk to him about. If he cannot give you satisfactory answers, it’s time for counseling or goodbye.

Chicago a victim of political history

EDITORIALS

Complex problem Developers of a large project near KU’s Memorial Stadium should be highly motivated to find another vendor to install a robotic parking system.

I

t looks as if the developer of a large mixed-use project across from Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium will be trying to negotiate a deal with a new vendor to complete a high-tech parking garage for the project.

There should be, however, no negotiation over whether that project will include the full amount of parking called for in the approved plans.

The developer, Here@Kansas, confirmed last week that Boomerang Systems Inc., the company that was supposed to install the robotic parking equipment, has filled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and halted work on the Lawrence project.

This is no small wrinkle for the project, which includes 237 apartments with 624 bedrooms. One of the advantages of the high-tech system is that it could accommodate the required 460 parking spaces in significantly less space than required for a traditional parking garage. Another Here apartment project in Champaign, Ill., also was depending on Boomerang Systems and was only able to open its doors after reaching an agreement to rent city parking spaces a few blocks away.

In Lawrence, Here already has tried and failed to reach an agreement to use nearby KU parking spaces for its project, and there appear to be few other off-site parking possibilities within a reasonable distance.

Here’s representative, Jim Heffernan, said his group is working to find another company to provide the robotic parking system. One assumes they are making every effort to find such a company because without that system, the scheduled fall 2016 opening of the complex is significantly in doubt.

If the project can’t meet the parking requirements, the city has the power to withhold an occupancy permit for the complex. If the project asks for an exemption from the city’s parking code, it could trigger a reconsideration of the 85 percent, 10-year tax rebate approved by the previous Lawrence City Commission. Mayor Mike Amyx voted against that incentive, and several of the new commissioners have raised questions about whether such incentives are appropriate for apartment projects.

If plans for the robotic parking garage fall through, Here will have to find another way to provide the required parking or risk losing its tax incentives — and it’s almost certain that any option that would push more parking into the neighborhood around the complex wouldn’t be acceptable to commissioners.

Heffernan expressed optimism last week that Here would be able to find another vendor to supply its robotic parking system. Hopefully that optimism is justified, because it appears the developer doesn’t have any other workable options.

Chicago — A Midwestern humorist, Indiana’s Kin Hubbard, said people often confuse bad management with destiny. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel knows better. He must play the cards that fate has dealt him, and he is too polite, or at least too prudent, to say that another name for fate is Democratic rule of the city since 1931.

During the past 84 years, the growth of the public sector has been mostly driven by the alliance between elected politicians and public-sector unions. This has made Chicago emblematic of the coast-to-coast crisis of what Walter Russell Mead has labeled the “blue model” of municipal and state governance.

It is not Emanuel’s fault that Chicago’s three largest employers, after the federal government, are the public school system, the city government and Cook County’s government. Although Emanuel is a product of the Chicago politics that made Barack Obama, the crisis brought on by such politics now requires Emanuel to take many measures to make Chicago an exception to the nation’s economic lethargy under Obama.

Emanuel’s task — condign punishment for any Democrat — is to salvage the blue model by making the private sector dynamic enough to generate tax revenues sufficient to fund improvident public contracts and their pension promises.

Hence Emanuel’s focus on K-12 education.

“

Emanuel’s task — condign punishment for any Democrat — is to salvage the blue model by making the private sector dynamic enough to generate tax revenues sufficient to fund improvident public contracts and their pension promises.” miles from Chicago’s Loop includes nine Big Ten campuses (and the University of Chicago, Notre Dame and many others) that furnish a steady stream of graduates drawn to urban life. The challenge is to hold these taxpayers in the city when they have school-age children. Hence Emanuel’s enthusiasm for — scarcity can be the mother of courage — charter schools, which horrify the Democratic Party’s paymasters in the teachers’ unions.

Emanuel and the city’s school system, the nation’s third-largest, want aid from the state. This is, as the Heritage Foundation’s Stephen Moore says, like Puerto Rico begging from Greece.

Although state pension payments have grown from $60 million to more than $650 million since 2006, Illinois still ranks 50th among states in the lowest percentage of funded pension obligations (47.1). After 13 downgrades in six years, Illinois, which is not paying many of its vendors or even winners of the state lottery, is 50th among the states in credit rating.

After Illinois’ Supreme Court strictly construed the state constitution’s provision that public pensions “shall not be diminished or impaired,” Moody’s downgraded the city, raising the cost of borrowing. Because diminishment is not possible, some increased revenue is not optional.

The vast swath of Chicago known as the “bungalow belt” reflects the city’s tradition of homeownership. However, more than 20 percent of Chicago homeowners owe more than their houses are worth.

In the Great Recession, Illinois had the nation’s thirdhighest foreclosure rate. Nevertheless, pensions will now be funded in part by a huge property tax increase. The more than half-a-billion-dollar levy will be made progressive by exempting property below the median ($250,000) value. And approximately 25 percent of the tax will be paid from the thriving downtown business district. Although Cook County has until recently been losing more affluent residents than it has been attracting, Emanuel is working to reverse this wealthsubtraction.

The world is indeed won-

derfully out of joint when Emanuel, the embodiment of pugnacious progressivism, is proud, and properly so, of the booming market for downtown residences.

This is evidence of increasing numbers of affluent people, including many young workers, who are weary of everlonger commutes on evermore-congested freeways.

Traditionally, the only things true-blue progressives dislike more than suburbs are suburbanites who, not knowing their place, become gentrifying urbanites. But the price of government workers’ pensions must be paid.

Although Emanuel may not know this, he is trying to reverse what has been called (in a 2002 essay by Harvard economists Edward Glaeser and Andrei Shleifer) “the Curley effect.” James Michael Curley was Boston’s four-term mayor intermittently from 1914 to 1950, and apart from the five months while in prison. He built his power base by taxation and redistribution policies that drove away the affluent, making the city’s lowincome population a larger percentage of the electorate and increasingly dependent on government.

In Chicago, the crisis of the blue model is being addressed by policies designed to produce an influx of corporate headquarters (36 in the last four years) and suburbanites. For the fun of irritating his fellow progressives, let’s call this the Emanuel effect.

Debate left little room for Biden If supporters of Vice President Joe Biden were hoping the first Democratic presidential debate would display or even expand the vulnerabilities of front-runner Hillary Clinton, they were almost certainly disappointed.

From the outset of Tuesday night’s encounter in Las Vegas, Clinton was both assertive and substantive in explaining her own positions and adept in placing liberal rival Bernie Sanders on the defensive, taking advantage of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper’s questions to spotlight his criticism of capitalism and his opposition to some stricter gun control measures.

And when Cooper finally got to the issues that have kept Clinton on the defensive all year, her mishandling of the controversy over her private email server and the congressional probe of the terrorist murder of four diplomats in Benghazi, Clinton’s fervent defense of her transparency and her criticism of GOP zeal drew an unexpected endorsement from Sanders.

“I think the secretary is right, and that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” the Vermont senator said, drawing sharp applause. “Thank you.

Me too,” Clinton said, extending her hand in thanks.

“

Clinton performed well and Sanders satisfied — without expanding — his liberal base, reducing the rationale for the still undecided vice president to join the fray.”

Lincoln Chafee, one of three other candidates seeking traction in the debate, did criticize Clinton, touting his own high ethical standards and questioning her “poor judgment” in backing the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But she replied that, after she had debated that issue 25 times in 2008 with Barack Obama, he picked her as Secretary of State. “He valued my judgment,” she said.

In the end, she largely succeeded in positioning herself in a way that tended to isolate Sanders on her left and left little room for Biden — should he enter the race — to challenge her on the issues

the next president will face.

Clinton still has vulnerabilities; her handling of Benghazi faces a far more acrimonious test Oct. 22 before the House committee. And earlier Tuesday, Fox News released yet another poll showing her trailing — and Biden leading — major Republican hopefuls. But her potential general election vulnerability would be a fragile reed for Biden, given Clinton’s enormous political and financial resources and continuing high popularity among Democrats.

Cooper, like the moderators of the two prior Republican debates, sought in his questions to force the candidates to confront their vulnerabilities, though his focus on issues failed to provoke the same kind of nasty personal clashes.

With his very first question, he asked Clinton if her recent position changes meant she would say anything to get elected. “I have always fought for the same values and principles, but, like most human beings — including those of us who run for office — I do absorb new information,” she said.

Cooper then asked Sanders if he felt a self-styled socialist like himself could get elected president. “We’re going to win because, first, we’re going to explain what democratic socialism is,” Sanders replied, adding, “we

should look to countries like Denmark, Sweden and Norway and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.” But when asked if he considered himself a capitalist, he replied, “No, I don’t.”

“When I think about capitalism,” Clinton declared, “I think about all the small businesses that were started because we have the opportunity and the freedom in our country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families.

“We are not Denmark,” she added. “We are the United States of America.”

When asked about his votes against gun control, Sanders explained one by saying “this was a large and complicated bill.” But Clinton rejected his explanation, saying she voted for the bill Sanders opposed and “it wasn’t that complicated to me.’

Chafee, O’Malley and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb struggled to carve out places in the Democratic spectrum, but the biggest loser might have been the man who was not there. Clinton performed well and Sanders satisfied — without expanding — his liberal base, reducing the rationale for the still undecided vice president to join the fray.

Topeka couple gives Washburn $1M

ceeded him in the seat.

Tiahrt tried to win back the seat, challenging Pompeo in a hotly contested primary. But Pompeo, who had the backing of billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, won the race, 63 percent to 37 percent.

Pompeo, who is now in his third term, has made news recently as a potential dark horse candidate for Speaker of the House.

In a recent interview with McClatchy newspapers, he wouldn’t rule out the possibility but also did not say he was actively seeking the job.

Giroux is a partner in the Wichita law firm Dugan and Giroux. From 1999 through 2003, he worked as an assistant district attorney in Sedgwick County. He then joined Prochaska, Giroux & Howell LLC, where he specialized in personal injury and medical malpractice cases.

Topeka — A Topeka couple has donated $1 million to Washburn University.

The school says the gift comes from businessman Mike McPherson and his wife, Belinda. The money is being used to renovate Morgan Hall to create a center where students can apply for admission, meet with advisers, register for classes, pay tuition and learn about scholarships and financial aid.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Welcome Center is planned for Oct. 23.

Belinda McPherson taught and coached at Washburn in the 1970s.

Her husband, Mike, and his brother, Bruce, are the founders of McPherson Contractors Inc., which manages construction projects in several states.

The brothers also partnered with another man to form a company that develops multi-family units and retail space.

Topeka — The Kansas Democratic Party announced Thursday that Dan Giroux, an attorney in Wichita, will run for Congress in the 4th District of south-central Kansas. He will challenge incumbent Republican Mike Pompeo.

The announcement came on the same day that third-quarter campaign finance reports were due to be released.

A search of the Federal Election Commission website showed Giroux filed his statement of organization Oct. 1.

Republicans have held the 4th District for 20 years. The last Democrat to hold that office, Dan Glickman, was defeated

by Todd Tiahrt in the Republican wave elections of 1994.

Tiahrt stepped down in 2010, and Pompeo suc-

Wichita — The latest government snapshot shows Kansas farmers have now planted 69 percent of their 2016 winter wheat crop.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Tuesday that about 34 percent of the wheat has already emerged.

Harvest of fall crops also is making progress in the state.

An estimated 76 percent of the corn has been harvested, well ahead of the 68 percent average for this time of year.

About 37 percent of the sorghum and 31 percent of the soybeans also have been cut. Sunflower harvest has now begun in Kansas with 5 percent harvested.

No benefit boost for seniors Social Security won’t adjust for cost of living Robert Powell

Special to USA TODAY

It could be belt-tightening time for the nation’s 65 million seniors. For just the third time in four decades, Social Security recipients won’t get an annual costof-living adjustment.

The announcement Thursday by the Social Security Administration means many older Amer-

icans may see a reduced standard of living, particularly 30% of Medicare beneficiaries — about 17 million Americans — who could see their Part B premium and deductible rise 52% because of provisions in the Social Security law.

The decision introduces a $12 billion complication into contentious budget talks between Congress and the White House.

The price tag for Congress to protect seniors from the higher Part B premiums and deductibles could be about $10 billion. Plus, states are likely to ask Congress for $2 billion to cover the extra cost of Part B premiums for the

Seniors won’t get a cost-of-living adjustment, known as a COLA, in 2016 because such increases are tied to the general rate of inflation — no inflation, no increase. In the past year, prices for the goods and services used to calculate inflation fell, mostly because of a dip in fuel prices.

The difference will be especially pronounced for retirees who spend more on medical care, because that expenditure group had the largest inflation rate over the past year, Blanchett said. “The impact isn’t huge, but it will likely mean retirees will have to cut back a little bit going into 2016,” he said.

US Airways takes its final flight Friday Red eyes may reflect more than late hour as airline’s era ends Ben Mutzabaugh USA TODAY

It’s time to say farewell to US Airways. One of the USA’s most storied airline brands fades away Friday night with Flight 1939.

Flight 1939 is scheduled to begin Friday morning in Philadelphia, a traditional US Airways stronghold. From there, the Airbus A321 — still painted in US Airways’ colors — will continue to Charlotte, which grew to become the airline’s busiest hub during the past decade. Next is Phoenix — the former headquarters to 2004 merger partner America West.

Jeb Bush fundraising drops to $13.4M over summer Campaign manager says race has been surprisingly ‘volatile’ Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Republican Jeb Bush raised $13.38 million over the summer months, a dramatic slowdown from the torrid fundraising pace the former Florida governor set when he entered the presidential contest in June.

The haul puts Bush, the son and brother of former presidents,

in second place behind one of the GOP field’s rising insurgent candidates, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who quickly scooped up $20.2 million over the summer as his campaign gained traction with religious conservatives.

Three Republican contenders — Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — started October with bigger cash reserves than the $10.27 million Bush’s aides said he had available.

Despite his political pedigree, Bush has lagged upstarts such as billionaire Donald Trump and Carson in early polling.

In a memo to supporters, Bush

campaign manager Danny Diaz said the race has proved more “volatile” than expected.

Few could have predicted “that a reality television star supporting Canadian-style single-payer health care and partial-birth abortion would be leading the Republican primary,” Diaz said in a dig at Trump. Even so, the Bush campaign — which has 37 paid staffers in the four early voting states — is built to last, Diaz said.

Bush had emerged as the GOP’s fundraising leader when he entered the contest in mid-June, raising $11.4 million over a roughly two-week period, or more than

$714,000 a day. That pace slowed to nearly $146,000 each day from July through September.

Candidates had to disclose how much they raised and spent by day’s end Thursday.

Among candidates who released totals, Cruz collected $12.2 million; former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina raised $6.8 million; Rubio collected $6 million; Ohio Gov. John Kasich took in nearly $4.4 million and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul raised $2.5 million. Trump, who said he planned to self-fund his campaign, raised more than $3.9 million over the summer.

Medicare issue adds to budget boil As deadlines loom, seniors and states face higher costs Paul Singer USA TODAY

The nascent budget talks between Congress and the White House over how to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling and pay for highway construction just got more complicated.

The Social Security Administration’s announcement Thursday that benefits will not increase in 2016 means that retirees will not have extra income to pay for anticipated increases in Medicare Part B premiums and higher deductibles. Medicare Part B covers non-hospital services such as ambulance rides, medical supplies and preventive care. Though 70% WASHINGTON

of Medicare beneficiaries are protected by law from premium increases, that still leaves millions of seniors facing higher costs.

That is also a problem for the states, because state Medicaid programs pick up the costs for seniors covered by both Medicare and Medicaid. The National Association of Medicaid Directors told Congress in a letter Wednesday that states could face additional costs of more than $2 billion to cover the extra expenses of beneficiaries.

Protecting seniors from higher deductibles and premiums could cost about $10 billion, and if Congress plans to pick up that tab, it would have to offset that with budget cuts or revenue increases elsewhere.

Sen Ron Wyden, D-Ore., introduced a bill last week with a group of Democratic senators that would protect seniors from these cost increases, but they did

not have a cost estimate for the bill because it depended on how much Social Security payments would rise.

Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., plans to issue a bill in the House next week that would block premium increases for a year — similar to a bill she offered in 2009 that passed the House overwhelmingly but died in the Senate.

“We are going to move it as a standalone, but we are certainly happy to work it in if something starts to move” on broader budget talks, she said Thursday.

Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress have initiated talks with the White House to address a host of fiscal issues before the end of the year.

ties at each stop. Passengers on the final departure from San Francisco will cheer the US Airways’ name with an onboard champagne toast.

“We definitely wanted to give a nod to US Airways and everyone that helped us build this airline,” American Airlines spokeswoman Martha Thomas told USA TODAY. “We wanted to make it a special experience for employees and customers.”

Even the flight number is rooted in history. Initially, the San Francisco-to-Philadelphia redeye was to operate as Flight 434.

In August, the carrier switched the flight number to 1939. That was the first year of operation for All American Aviation, a small Pennsylvania-based airmail outfit that would grow to become a regional player known as Allegheny Airlines.

Allegheny changed its name in 1979, adopting USAir to reflect the expanding footprint of the airline after it grew in mergers with Mohawk and Lake Central Airlines. Bigger mergers with Piedmont and Pacific Southwest (PSA) followed in the 1980s. The company underwent one last name change, adopting the US Airways name in 1997 before yet another merger in 2005 — this time with America West.

Now, the US Airways name is on the verge of disappearing.

US Airways’ reservation system will go dark Saturday morning just after midnight. US Airways’ website will follow. At airports across the nation, airline staff will begin removing US Airways branding after the company’s last flights Friday. The goal is to have American Airlines signage up in its place by the time flights begin Saturday morning.

ing. The government will run up against the debt ceiling in early November, and highway spending expires at the end of October.

Republican and Democratic presidential candidates called on Congress to relieve the burden on seniors.

“I am shocked that GOP presidential candidates, leaders in Congress and President Obama believe we should balance the federal budget and increase the debt ceiling on the backs of America’s seniors,” Republican candidate Mike Huckabee said in a statement Thursday. “Congress must act now.”

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was similarly outraged.

“At a time when senior poverty is going up and more than twothirds of the elderly population rely on Social Security for more than half of their income, our job must be to expand, not cut, Social Security,” he said in a statement.

It “will be sad to see the memories of the US Airways name fade.”

It will take American until “late 2016” to repaint all of its planes in the colors of the new American. US Airways flight attendant uniforms will remain until updated uniforms for all the cabin crews are introduced, also likely to come next year.

“There’s still a lot of integration work left for us to do behind the scenes,” Thomas said.

American spokesman Ross Feinstein said the airline has had “strong demand” from customers wishing to be on Flight 1939 — especially the San Francisco-Philadelphia leg. Coach class is near

capacity, and first-class seats have been sold out since July.

Feinstein said the “vast majority” of people on the flight appear to be aviation enthusiasts and “avgeeks” wanting to witness US Airways’ final flight.

For passenger Mark Littell, Flight 1939 will have special meaning. Littell grew up in the shadow of the Pittsburgh airport when it was a hub for the airline in the 1990s.

“I grew up seeing and hearing USAir’s planes land all the time,” he said. “Most families in my community were directly impacted by the hub there, and I eventu-

ally worked in concessions in the airport’s US Airways terminal by the time I was in high school.”

That led to a connection with the airline that’s lasted to this day.

Littell moved away from Pittsburgh as an adult, traveling fulltime for his job in the medical profession. He flies more than 100,000 miles a year, mostly on Delta.

Once he saw Flight 1939 announced as US Airways’ final flight, he booked a ticket “to fly (them) one final time.” He’ll be among those on Friday night’s San Francisco-Philadelphia leg.

Littell said he’s happy to see US Airways become part of the world’s biggest airline but conceded it “will be sad to see the memories of the US Airways name fade.”

Despite that, Littell said, “it really is the employees who make an airline, and I know US Airways employees will be a great addition to the new American.”

EX-SPEAKER HASTERT MAKES PLEA DEAL Will plead guilty, may face prison in hush money case Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

CHICAGO Former House speaker Dennis Hastert intends to plead guilty to criminal charges as part of an agreement to resolve a case in which he is accused of lying to the FBI about making illegally structured bank transactions to pay hush money to someone he wronged years ago, prosecutors and his attorneys said in court Thursday.

With the announcement of the plea agreement, Hastert, 73, may be able to keep further embarrassing details about his past out of the public eye, but it could mean serving time in prison.

Lawyers confirmed Thursday in court that Hastert will plead guilty on Oct 28.

Joseph Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for the office of the U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said “principles of an agreement” have been reached, but did not reveal which charges Hastert would admit to or wheth-

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Former Republican speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, shown arriving for his June arraignment at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago, will plead guilty in a hush money case. er the agreement includes prison time for the former speaker. Attorneys are to deliver a draft of the plea agreement to Judge Thomas Durkin by Monday.

Hastert, the longest-serving GOP speaker in history, was in-

dicted in May on charges that he lied to the FBI and made hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegally structured bank payments as part of a plan to pay hush money for unspecified past misconduct to someone only

identified as “Individual A.” Prosecutors say he agreed to make a total of $3.5 million in payments before he was indicted.

Hastert, who served 20 years in Congress that included nearly eight years as speaker of the

House, taught and coached at Yorkville High School from 1965 to 1981.

While the indictment doesn’t detail the wrongdoing against the unnamed individual, law enforcement officials previously told USA TODAY that the former lawmaker made the payments to conceal sexual misconduct committed against a male student decades earlier when he worked at Yorkville High. The officials, who were not authorized discuss the sensitive matter publicly, spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Since the indictment was unsealed, Hastert’s lead attorney, Thomas Green, complained to the judge that leaks to the media about the nature of his alleged misconduct have put an unfair burden on his client.

Steven Block, the assistant U.S. attorney who is the lead prosecutor in the case, denied in court that his office was behind the leaks.

Hastert, who has appeared in court only once since the court unsealed the indictment more than four months ago, did not appear at Thursday’s hearing. He has yet to publicly address either the structuring charges or sexual misconduct allegations.

Netanyahu is open to meeting with Abbas over recent violence Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he is “perfectly open” to meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, saying it could be “potentially useful” to halt a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

Netanyahu’s comment comes after he has accused Abbas of inciting the violence. He noted Abbas’ false allegation that Israel “executed” a young Palestinian boy who is recovering in an Israeli hospital after participating in a

Jerusalem stabbing.

The Israeli leader said a meeting with Arab leaders and Abbas “might stop the wave of incitement and the false allegations against Israel,” the Associated Press reported.

He told reporters he spoke to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other leaders about meeting with Abbas. Kerry is due to travel to the Middle East soon to try to calm the situation.

“I think it’s potentially useful because it might stop the wave of incitement and false allegations against Israel,” Netanyahu said.

“I’d be open to meeting with Arab leaders and the Palestinian lead-

ership in order to stop this incitement and set the record straight.”

Israeli police said earlier that Ahmed Manasra, 13, and his 15year-old cousin stabbed two Israelis, one of whom was also a 13year-old boy, in Jerusalem on Monday.

After a smartphone video went viral of Ahmed lying on the ground with his head bleeding while an Israeli is seen cursing at him, Abbas was reported by the news media as saying Israel engaged in the “execution of our children in cold blood, as they did with the boy Ahmed Manasrah and other children in Jerusalem and other places,” in a speech that

Obamacare numbers to be half what CBO estimated

THOUSANDS OF TROOPS TO STAY IN AFGHANISTAN

Jayne O’Donnell

David Jackson

Federal health officials expect the number of people insured on the state and federal exchanges by the end of 2016 to be about half the number estimated earlier by the Congressional Budget Office.

The total number of people who bought plans and paid premiums is expected to be about 10 million by the end of next year, up only about 1 million from this year. That’s far lower than Congressional Budget Office estimates that topped 20 million.

HHS has found that far fewer companies are planning to drop coverage than originally expected and that fewer employees are planning to shift to buy insurance on the exchanges.

“We haven’t seen much of a shift at all,” said Richard Frank,

President Obama has abandoned his plan to withdraw nearly all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying Thursday that he will keep a force of 9,800 in the country for most of next year and a contingent of 5,500 for 2017, the year he leaves office.

“While America’s combat mission in Afghanistan may be over, our commitment to Afghanistan and its people endures,” Obama said in announcing a policy reversal that basically prolongs American involvement in the longest war in U.S. history.

Obama, who had planned to reduce the number of U.S. troops to around 1,000, stressed the bigger residual force will not be engaged in combat operations. They will instead be involved in the “narrow but critical missions” of counterterrorism operations and the ongoing training of Afghan

HHS has found that far fewer companies are planning to drop coverage than originally expected.

HHS’ assistant secretary for planning and evaluation.

Some say the relatively small increase has more to do with the price of the plans.

“This is totally unsurprising and driven by the high cost of Obamacare’s exchange-based plans,” said Avik Roy, a senior fellow with the free-market Manhattan Institute.

As for the lower-than-expected estimate for 2016, instead of reaching a plateau, HHS is “seeing a much longer path” to getting people insured, Frank said.

More than 25% of those who are uninsured and eligible to buy plans on the federal and state health insurance exchanges are expected to select plans during the open enrollment that starts Nov. 1, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell said Thursday.

The other 75% are “a little harder to reach,” Burwell said.

Those who don’t have health insurance in 2016 will face a penalty of $695 per person on their taxes for the year.

HHS also said it is “working hard to improve the customer experience” and has added tools to the federal Healthcare.gov website to make it easier to shop for plans, Burwell said.

“Our commitment to Afghanistan and its people endures,” President Obama said. security forces, he said.

The 5,500 troops who will remain in Afghanistan after 2016 will be stationed at a “small number of bases,” Obama said at the White House. While Afghan forces have improved in recent months, he said, they are “still not as strong as they need to be.”

Flanked by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford, Obama again called on Afghanistan’s government to reach “a lasting political settlement” with the Taliban and other opposition forces.

The president said he made the decision after consulting his national security team and Afghan officials following a months-long review of security challenges in the war-torn nation.

In his new announcement, Obama said he has decided to maintain 9,800 troops for most of next year, a number to be reduced to 5,500 troops by 2017 at bases that include Bagram, Jalalabad in the east and Kandahar in the south.

President Obama’s decision to delay a full military withdrawal from Afghanistan prolongs a U.S. presence in a risky conflict where victory over a deterNEWS mined insurgency ANALYSIS remains elusive.

On a personal level, it means Obama will fall short of his goal of decisively ending America’s longest war by the end of his presidency. His change in policy reflects cold realities: Afghanistan’s military still needs considerable help, Taliban insurgents remain a threat, and the Islamic State is emerging as a new danger in the country.

“Afghan forces are still not as strong as they need to be,” Obama said in announcing the policy shift Thursday at the White House.

Obama said he would keep about 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan through 2017, a reversal of an earlier plan to remove nearly all troops by the end of 2016.

The 9,800 U.S. troops currently in Afghanistan will remain through most of next year.

The mission will remain the same: supporting Afghanistan’s

security forces and maintaining a counterterrorism mission aimed at al-Qaeda militants and their affiliates. But growing Taliban strength in parts of the country increases the risk that American forces will get drawn deeper into conflict.

The Taliban recently seized the northern city of Kunduz before being pushed out by Afghan forces backed by

President Obama

American airstrikes and U.S. advisers. It was the radical Islamic group’s first capture of a major city since it was ousted from governing the country by U.S.led forces in 2001.

Taliban forces have expanded their influence in other parts of the country, as well, threatening to seize towns and villages.

“Taliban advances in parts of the country underscore the reality that this is and remains a difficult fight,” Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said.

The U.S. will likely get pulled into more battles as the Taliban challenges Afghan security forces in other major cities, said

Seth Jones, an analyst at RAND Corp. “That is one way I think U.S. forces are likely to be used,” he said.

That’s the kind of “mission creep” Obama wants to avoid — the slow expansion of U.S. involvement in the war.

On Thursday, he stressed several times that U.S. forces would be limited to two “narrow” missions, counterterrorism and guiding their security forces.

The additional American troops will allow the United States to maintain a presence on regional bases outside of the capital, Kabul, allowing them to remain closer to Afghan security forces.

Without regular U.S. air support, however, the Afghan force of 350,000 police and soldiers is struggling to secure the country.

U.S. officials avoid drawing comparisons with Iraq, but clearly the rapid decline in security that followed the American withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 helped shaped the White House decision.

Sectarian tensions rose in Iraq in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal, and last year, the Islamic State seized large swathes of Iraqi territory.

Obama sent several thousand troops back into Iraq to help rebuild its armed forces, and the military has launched daily airstrikes.

IN BRIEF TREASURY: DEBT CEILING SET TO EXPIRE NOV. 3

The Treasury Department warned Congress on Thursday that the nation will hit its debt ceiling on Nov. 3 — two days earlier than once projected — and would be unable to pay its pending bills if Congress does not take action.

“At that point, we expect Treasury would be left with less than $30 billion to meet all of the nation’s commitments — an amount far short of net expenditures on certain days, which can be as high as $60 billion,” said a letter to Congress from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. The Treasury Department had set a deadline of Nov. 5, but Lew said that needed to be moved up two days because “the trend in our projected net resources has continued to be negative, and our projections for the relevant period have declined an additional $4-6 billion.”

Now, Congress must lift the debt ceiling by Nov. 3 or face the prospect of a government default, Lew said, setting up the prospect of another fiscal showdown between the White House and con-

CHICAGO The cash-strapped state of Illinois has announced it will be handing out IOUs for the time being to any state lottery winner who wins more than $600.

The IOUs are one of the many side effects of the stalemate over a new budget between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the state’s Democratic lawmakers who control the Illinois General Assembly.

“Payment delays will occur because there currently is no legal authority for the Illinois Comptroller or the Illinois Lottery to issue checks,” the Illinois Lottery said in a statement. “Please note that the funding to pay winners exists, but the legal authority to issue checks does not.”

The lottery said the payments will be made once a state budget is passed.

The lottery has been delaying payments to big winners since the current fiscal year started on July 1. Initially, only winners who were set to get $25,000 or more were receiving IOUs. On Wednesday, the Illinois Lottery lowered the threshold

Millions of Social Security recipients who depend on the program for most of their income will have to cut back on necessities such as food and health care due to the government’s announcement Thursday that there will be no cost-of-living increase in 2016, retiree advocates say.

“They’re going to be asking themselves, ‘How do I pay my bills?’ ” says Mary Johnson, a policy consultant for the Senior Citizens League.

About 50% of seniors rely on Social Security for at least half their income, and about a quarter depend on it for at least 90% of their income, AARP says.

The Social Security Administration said 65 million recipients won’t see a cost-of-living rise in 2016 because a measure of consumer prices fell 0.6% in the 12 months ending in September as a result of plunging gasoline prices.

But AARP officials say that consumer price index reflects the spending patterns of largely young and healthy workers, not seniors who are aided less by cheap gas and devote more of their budgets to health care, food and housing costs. Over the past year, housing costs have climbed 3.7%, medical care is up 2.4% and food prices increased 1.6%, Labor Department figures show.

Another measure of consumer prices that captures seniors’ purchases rose 0.6% the past year, the Senior Citizens League says.

Particularly onerous for seniors is the cost of prescription drugs, which jumped about 11% last year, according to AARP and the Truveris National Drug Index. Older Americans spend about 15% of their income on medical care, compared with about 5% for the people surveyed in the CPI index that figured into the SSA’s ruling, Johnson says.

To cope with higher costs, retirees on tight budgets may delay doctor visits, do without some prescription drugs and even visit food banks, Johnson says.

Most negatively affected will be the 30% of Medicare beneficiaries whose monthly premiums for Medicare Part B will rise 52% to $159.30 because they aren’t deducted directly from their Social Security checks.

For many other seniors, the stagnant benefits check will simply mean a lifestyle with even fewer frills. Jim Baldridge, 69, of Baltimore says Social Security provides 65% of his income. He says he and his wife plan to eat out less, substitute chicken for beef and limit vacations.

“It is important,” Baldridge said of the monthly payment.

Valeant shares sink on subpoena over drug pricing Pharmaceutical giant accused of gouging Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

U.S. prosecutors have subpoenaed Valeant Pharmaceutical for information about the drugmaker’s drug pricing and distribution policies, as well as how it helps patients pay for the medications.

Shares of Canada-based Valeant closed down nearly 5% at $168.87, partially rebounding from a steep intra-day drop after the late-Wednesday disclosure.

The subpoenas by the U.S. Attorney’s offices in Massachusetts and New York’s Southern District also seek information the pharmaceutical giant submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Valeant said.

The company said CEO J. Michael Pearson had responded to questions by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., about the history and pricing of Nitropress, a medication used to treat high blood pressure, and Isuprel, a drug used to treat cardiac arrest.

The questions focus on Valeant’s February 2015 decisions to raise the price per vial of Isuprel from $215 to $1,346, and hike the similar dosage of Nitropress from

$257.80 to $805.61.

In a statement, Pearson said Valeant has “operated our business in a fully compliant manner.”

Valeant has been the focus of hospitals, doctors, patients and congressional Democrats over its strategy of buying smaller pharmaceutical firms and hiking prices on some drugs obtained through those acquisitions.

Separately, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched a review of Turing Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical firm that in August acquired Daraprim, a medication used to treat a parasitic infection.

Turing raised the price of a Dara-

Valeant said it was “reviewing the subpoenas and intends to cooperate with the investigations.” prim tablet from $13.50 to $750, prompting protests. Turing CEO Martin Shkreli later said the company would reduce the cost to make the drug more affordable.

McCaskill in August sent written questions to former Valeant chief financial officer Howard Schiller about the decisions behind the Isuprel and Nitropress price hikes. Company officials did

not respond to the questions at a subsequent Senate hearing. Instead, a company attorney said Valeant’s analysis “concluded that the drugs were significantly underpriced,” McCaskill wrote in a September letter seeking responses from Pearson.

The CEO’s written response said Valeant had hired a consultant to review pricing of Nitropress and Isuprel and reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, The Wall Street Journal reported, and that the consultant found “considerable room” to raise the price of the medications without using up funds available to hospitals from payers.

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

The summer swoon and first 10% correction for stocks in four years put a dent in consumer confidence last month.

Wall Street is hoping the U.S. market’s nearly 8% rally off of its August lows was good enough news to get consumers feeling good about the future again.

The latest data point on consumer confidence will be released Friday at 9:55 a.m. ET, when the University of Michigan goes public with its preliminary reading of its October consumer sentiment index.

Wall Street is expecting a slight rebound in confidence to 88.5, up from the final September reading of 87.2. That small increase puts consumer sentiment back on the

right track but well below the 98.1 final level in January, when the mood of consumers measured by the school was at its highest since 2004.

Confidence is a key ingredient needed to keep the economy in growth mode and stock prices in rally mode. When consumers feel good about the future, it tends to be a positive reinforcing trend. A confident consumer is more likely to dip into his wallet and buy things such as a new car or refrigerator or a coveted dream vacation.

Confidence also puts stock investors in a risk-taking mood and prompts more buying rather than selling in financial markets.

With the key upcoming holiday shopping season almost here, Wall Street will be watching to see if consumers feel good enough about their financial position to shop ’til they drop.

Investors aren’t used to Netflix earnings misses

Q: Is Netflix a good deal?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Netflix’s stock is priced for perfection. Even a minor stumble by the company can spell pain for the stock.

That’s what happened Thursday when Netflix fell nearly 10% to roughly $100 a share. Investors were disappointed when the video streamer reported a quarterly adjusted profit of 7 cents a share, missing expectations by nearly 13%. Investors aren’t used to earnings misses from Netflix. The company last fiscal year earned an adjusted 53 cents a share, topping expectations by 8%.

Netflix’s stable revenue stream coupled with its efforts to grow have made it one of the darling tech stocks of the current tech boom. Shares of the stock trade for a nosebleed valuation of 247 times the company’s diluted earnings before extraordinary charges. Compare that with the broad market’s roughly 20 times valuation.

Analysts remain bullish on Netflix because they think the company’s longterm growth prospects are still obtainable, despite the setback in the third quarter. Analysts rate Netflix “outperform” and think the stock could be worth 21% more in 18 months. But traditional valuation says Netflix is beyond fairly valued. New Constructs rates the stock “dangerous” as the current stock price has raced ahead of the present value of future cash flows.

‘WSJ’ report questions accuracy of bloodwork firm Theranos Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

Theranos, the secretive and revolutionary bloodwork analysis start-up valued at $9 billion, is under fire from a Wall Street Journal report that anonymously quotes former employees who question the efficacy and accuracy of the company’s proprietary hardware.

The heart of the allegations charge that of the 240 different tests Theranos offers consumers, only 15 are conducted on a maSAN FRANCISCO

MARTIN E. KLIMEK, SPECIAL FOR USA TODAY

Founder Elizabeth Holmes holds a Theranos nanotainer.

chine called Edison while the rest are being outsourced to machines that are similar to those used by more traditional labs such as LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics.

The report, published online late Wednesday, also contends that some results were so inaccurate that “patients would have to be dead for the results to be correct.”

Theranos responded to the Journal’s report in a blog post Thursday. It countered that the piece was “factually and scientifically erroneous and grounded in baseless assertions by inexperienced and disgruntled former employees and industry incumbents. Theranos presented the facts to this reporter to prove the accuracy and reliability of its tests and to directly refute these false allegations, including more

than 1,000 pages of statements and documents. Disappointingly, the Journal chose to publish this article without even mentioning the facts Theranos shared that disproved the many falsehoods in the article.”

The Journal article, written by investigative reporter John Carreyrou, describes how, in one instance, “two types of equipment gave different results when testing for vitamin D, two thyroid hormones and prostate cancer.

The gap suggested to some employees that the Edison results were off according to the internal emails and people familiar with

the findings.”

The newspaper article quotes Theranos’ outside attorney David Boies, who took on Microsoft in the 1990s, as acknowledging that Theranos is not yet using its machine for all its blood tests, describing that ongoing process as “a journey.” But the company says “the sources relied on in the article today were never in a position to understand Theranos’ technology and know nothing about the processes currently employed by the company.” It adds that the Journal turned down requests to have Theranos’ machines sent to its offices.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “You can be successful for three or four years. Accidents happen.

But careers take hard work.”

JEFF KRAVITZ, FILMMAGIC

RUMOR PATROL Kaley Cuoco’s recent announcement that she and Ryan Sweeting ended their marriage has tongues wagging — are she and her ‘Big Bang Theory’ co-star and ex, Johnny Galecki, heating up again? Nice theory, but it’s one the actors have debunked. The two stars, who broke up in 2010, took to Instagram to set the record straight: “So sorry to disappoint, but no home wreckers or secret flings going on here. Me and @sanctionedjohnnygalecki are just the best of buds Leonard and Penny will just have to suffice!!!,” Cuoco wrote. wrote Galecki: “No scandals / home wreckers / pregnancies here, y’all.

Just profound friendship.”

Lovato’s ‘Confident’ stride DEMI LOVATO Confident

for its guest star Iggy Azalea.

The gloomy EDM track is reminiscent of Azalea’s own smash Black Widow, although the Aussie rapper’s seeming rush-job verse here isn’t quite as fun. Lovato aims for the dance floor on the similarly hypnotic but forgettable Old Ways, and further switches things up on thunderous anthem For You, channeling Lady Gaga in what may as well have been a Born This Way B-side.

Whether a stripped-down ballad (Stone Cold) or R&Bflavored smackdown (Waiting for Ya), Lovato’s powerful pipes are always dialed up to the glassshattering max. While she unarguably has one of the strongest instruments in pop right now, the 23-year-old also suffers from an affliction best described as “Jennifer Hudson Syndrome.” Like Hudson, Lovato can’t resist the urge to add one more riff or belt to every song on Confident just because she can. Particularly on album closer Father, written about her estranged late dad, the song’s heartbreaking lyrics could have packed a bigger punch had she scaled back on the vocal somersaults.

It may seem trifling to fault an artist for singing too well, but a little subtlety can go a long way. Still, Confident is overall an assured step forward for Lovato, who should only hone her sound and style by the time album No. 6 rolls around.

eegE POP

DOWNLOAD Confident, Waiting for Ya, Father

Five albums in, pop stars are finally hitting their strides.

Taylor Swift earned some of the best reviews of her career for the ubiquitous 1989, which continues to set records nearly a year after its release. Selena Gomez showed restraint and maturity on her just-released Revival. Fellow ex-Disney star Demi Lovato continues the No. 5 winning streak with her latest: Confident, a loud and adventurous stride into new musical terrain, albeit one that lacks the precision of her peers’ efforts.

The album gets off to a, well, confident start with the blaring horns and pummeling drums of the raucous, rousing title track, on which Lovato declares her dominance: “I used to hold my freak back / now I’m letting go / I make my own choice / Yeah, I run this show.” Unlike most of her contemporaries, Lovato has longinfused her pop with rock ’n’ roll grit, which helps explain the electric-guitar riffs on Cool for the Summer.

While its limp attempts at being provocative emit little heat (Katy Perry endorsed same-sex flings more cleverly on 2008’s I Kissed a Girl), Summer still is one of the catchier songs on the album, whose other potential radio hits are harder to identify.

Kingdom Come, almost inevitably, will be serviced as a single at some point, if not solely

LAWRENCE Your area real estate resource

hometownlawrence.com Autumn maintenance key to caring for home

By Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

As cooler weather approaches, there are seasonal maintenance steps homeowners should take to protect their homes, save money, and stay warm in the coming winter. Your home is likely the largest investment you will make in a lifetime. These steps, most of which are fairly simple and cost little to no money, will prevent bigger (and expensive) problems in the future.

Schedule the annual tune-up on your heating system. Heating and cooling systems require ongoing service and maintenance to keep them operating safely and efficiently.

Clean out the gutters after the leaves finish falling. Your home’s gutter system protects the siding and foundation from water damage, plus it helps keep

water out of the basement. In the winter, ice and snow trapped in clogged gutters can cause ice dams along the roof line, which leads to water leaking through the ceiling and down the walls inside when the ice thaws.

Take the time to winterproof your home by checking the weather stripping around doors and windows, plus the insulation in the attic, to help cut down on heating costs.

Also consider having a digital thermostat installed, and covering windows and patio doors with a clear insulating film to keep the cold outside where it belongs.

Plus, insulate water pipes in the basement to help prevent freezing and save money on hot waterheating costs.

Set up a regular schedule to

replace the filter on your heating system once a month during peak usage, or as recommended by your system’s manufacturer.

If you want the exterior of your home painted and didn’t get to it in the spring, now is the time before the temperatures drop too low.

When heating season starts, cover your outdoor air conditioner compressor during the off-season to keep it free from debris.

Before it gets too cold, have your fireplace chimney professionally cleaned. Always check for nests in the chimney and loose bricks or mortar before using.

Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors once a year. The fall time change makes a good reminder

for this chore.

Autumn is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs. Check with a local garden center for variety recommendations. Also, don’t forget to plant those springblooming bulbs for a colorful flower show when the weather warms again.

Once the temperatures approach the freezing mark, it is time to turn off the outside water supply and store any hoses for winter.

LAWRENCE 35, OLATHE NW 7

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Selden proves he has grown Wayne Selden Jr. grabbed an offensive rebound and slammed it through the hoop one minute and the next drove hard across the lane, angled his body both to avoid the defender and square himself for an easy bucket and banked a soft shot off the glass at Kansas University’s Thursday afternoon basketball practice.

The thing he did not do much of was stand and listen to coaches’ corrections.

He no longer is a strongwilled freshman internally fighting the urge to do it his way, not the coaches’, or a sophomore knowing what to do, but fighting to focus well enough to do what he’s supposed to do every possession.

Selden looks thinner, but he said his weight is the same. He even looks taller.

Could it be he has grown an inch?

“Maybe a little bit, hopefully. I don’t know,” Selden said after practice. “Maybe.

We actually got measured today. I got measured today at 6-6 with shoes on, but you never know.”

He’s playing taller than ever, no maybe about that.

Attacking from the wing on the dribble and crashing the offensive boards, Selden looked comfortable in the land of giants Thursday.

Small guards Devonté Graham and Frank Mason III played in tandem, turning Selden into a moving part who scored from everywhere on the floor.

“That’s one thing we’ve done an awful job with the last two years, play to his athletic ability and his strength,” coach Bill Self said.

“I think when you play two little guards together, it will help him do that, as opposed to him being one of the ballhandling guards. So I’m excited to see him attacking the basket a lot more this year.”

Selden showed no signs of an ankle sprain that has slowed him the past few weeks. He looked explosive and quick. He presents a nightmare matchup for many teams trying to figure out how to guard him, and he can be used by Self to guard players of different sizes and styles.

Beyond his physical gifts, Selden brings a great deal of experience, the likes of which isn’t often seen at the elite level of college basketball.

Selden, a third-year starter, brings 2,082 minutes of experience into the season, Perry Ellis 2,455 minutes and Frank Mason 1,774 minutes. Heading into last season, Ellis’ 1,477 minutes made him the team’s most experienced player.

So when Selden hears talk of KU’s depth, he takes it a step beyond merely talent.

“I feel like we’re deeper because of experience,” he said. “We have a lot of guys coming off the bench who know what they’re doing, so that’s going to be big for us.”

Selden playing bigger will be big as well.

Woods sets record in win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Olathe — Lawrence High football players weren’t thrilled with the way they played against Olathe Northwest on Thursday, but they can’t complain about the result.

The Lions rolled to a 35-7 victory at the College Boulevard Activity Center in their first district game. They also lost four fumbles and allowed a few long plays on defense.

LHS senior running back JD Woods rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns, breaking the school record for career rushing yards, but fumbled twice.

“Each day in practice, we talk about handling adversity,” LHS senior Price Morgan said. “Bad stuff is going to happen. That’s football.

It’s just a matter of how you respond to it. I was really proud of just the whole team tonight, picking up key blocks and key runs.”

The Lions (7-0) started strong. They scored on their first possession when Woods dove over the goal line on a one-yard run. Senior quarterback Alan Clothier set up

LIONS NATE KOEHN (77) AND JAMES MURRY (66) BRING DOWN Olathe Northwest running back Brendan Watkins. the score with a 12-yard run to the one-yard line on a long third down.

With Olathe Northwest’s defense focusing on Woods in the first half, Clothier showed off his running ability after faking handoffs to Woods.

Clothier finished with 112 rushing yards, including a 22-yard scramble in the final minute before halftime.

“He’s a state champion

wrestler, so he does what he does,” Woods said of Clothier. “I know he can make big plays, and he has a lot of heart.”

Lawrence’s defense only allowed one first down in the first quarter — and LHS senior linebacker Konner Kelley grabbed an interception on the following play.

Royals, Jays heated rivals Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays promise plenty of fireworks in their AL Championship Series, and not just because one team features power arms and the other power bats.

The Royals and Blue Jays already have played a contentious set of games this season, including a matchup in Toronto marked by GAME 1 two bench- Who: Blue c l e a r i n g Jays vs. i n c i d e n t s . Royals And while both sides When: 7 said during tonight Thursday’s Where: w o r k o u t s Kauffman that previ- Stadium ous rancor TV: FOX has been for- (WOW! gotten, the Cable chs. 4, emotionally 204) charged atmosphere of playoff baseball means there could be some short fuses in the opener tonight.

“It’s over with. We’ve got to move forward,” insisted the Royals’ Edinson Volquez, who will start Game 1 and was arguably the biggest instigator when the teams met in August.

It was Volquez whose inside pitching drew the ire of the Blue Jays, eventually leading to the first of those bench-clearing moments. And after the game, he called Blue Jays star Josh Donaldson “a little baby” for complaining about his inside pitching.

Asked whether he intends to pitch inside again tonight, Volquez replied: “Of course.”

Royals manager Ned Yost was one word more succinct: “Absolutely.”

Even if it might mean more bad blood.

“I’m not a mind reader.

I’m not a fortune teller. I don’t know if it’s going to be an issue,” Yost said. “But we’ll pitch inside aggressively. That’s a power-laden club over there. We’re going to formulate a really good game plan and try to go out and execute.”

The Blue Jays, who start Marco Estrada in the opener, won three straight elimination games against Texas to reach their first AL Championship Series since 1993. The last of those games Wednesday was as tense as they come.

After the Rangers took the lead on a fluke play, the Blue Jays stormed back thanks in part to three Texas errors. Donaldson’s blooper tied the game, and Jose Bautista capped the comeback with a long Please see ROYALS, page 4C

VERITAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PLAYERS EMMA WILSON (23) AND BRIENNE BILLINGS (25) GET UP to block a shot from KC East Christian Academy’s Erica Carlberg on Thursday at Bishop Seabury Academy.

Zaremba sparks BSA

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Bishop Seabury Academy volleyball setter Regan Zaremba made sure the Seahawks’ offense did not miss a beat, as she led BSA to two-set victories over KC East and Veritas Christian on Senior Night.

Zaremba recorded 40 assists in the triangular and has been a key piece of the Seahawks’ success all season, according to coach Chrissy Leuty.

“This is only her third year playing volleyball,” Leuty said of Zaremba.

“She’s so athletic, and she hustles after everything.

She’s really learned how to even if it’s out of system and our offense is out of rotation to really deliver a good ball to our hitters to put it away.”

The Seahawks setter shared the wealth with fellow seniors Ellen Almanza and Taylor Hodge, who paced BSA with eight and five kills, respectively, in a 25-20, 25-14 victory over Veritas. Freshman Lindsey Hornberger also added five kills.

“Our offensive rhythm was really good. We played hard defense, which really helps with our offense to get good passes up,” Zaremba said. “Then our hitters are great. Get them good sets, and they will kill it every time.”

The sweep over Veritas to conclude the triangular pushed Seabury’s record to 6-0 at home for the season and 23-12 overall. Leuty could not think of a better way to send off seniors Zaremba, Hodge, Almanza, Olivia Quinn and Isabella Mejia in their final home triangular.

“They are the winningest class in Seabury history,” Leuty said. “They pretty much hold every single record that we own, so to end their career at

home on this note, I’m really happy for them.”

The rivalry match between the Seahawks and Eagles certainly did not lack intensity, whether it was between the fans, players or coaches. The match was delayed twice — once after Veritas sophomore Chloe Holland was brought to tears between sets after some comments from the BSA student section, and in the second when there was a debate over the correct score. Holland did not share what was said to her but did say that the match against the Seahawks would be a good teaching point for Veritas (15-15).

“They’re our town rivals. It just is heated in the gym,” said Holland, who had 10 total kills and seven aces on the night.

“We weren’t communicating with each other,

but I think we played hard and did all we could.”

Leading up to the matchup between Seabury and Veritas, the two city schools both took care of business against Kansas City East.

The Seahawks swept the Lions (25-22, 27-25) behind 22 assists from Zaremba. Almanza and Hodge were on the other end of most of Zaremba’s passes, putting away 11 and six kills respectively.

Hodge also highlighted the match with five aces, all of which came in a 7-0 run in the second set.

“She leads the region in aces,” Leuty said of Hodge. “She’s probably over 100 now, actually, on the season. She has just been our best server since her freshman year.”

The Eagles fought for a three-set comeback win over KC East (15-25, 2526, 25-22).

Three city doubles teams primed for state tennis

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior Betsy Smoot and junior Natalie Cote reached their season goal when they qualified for the girls tennis state tournament in doubles. Now they just want to make the most of their state experience.

Along with Smoot and Cote, Free State’s doubles teams Caitlin and Ali Dodd, and Rachel Walters and Andrea Chen will begin play at state at 11:20 a.m. today at the CBAC in Olathe.

“It’s really surreal to me, especially, that we made it,” Smoot said. “It seems like we’re just going to another tournament, like the season is just extended.

But it’s weird to think that we’re top-24 in the state in doubles.”

Smoot and Cote, making their first trips to state, took sixth place at their regional last week

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Rain began to fall just as the second half of soccer began Thursday night at Free State High, and shortly thereafter the sound of thunder in the distance meant the Firebirds and Olathe South would have to take an unexpected lightning break in the midst of a scoreless tie.

The delay might have been just what FSHS needed. Refocused and determined, the Firebirds broke the stalemate less than five minutes after their 45-minute hiatus from action. Their 2-0 victory broke a threegame winless stretch.

Free State coach Kelly Barah knew he didn’t have to say much during what amounted to an extended halftime in the 45th minute of play.

“I think my team came out really lethargic today,” Barah said. “So I let them sit, and we knew we were a better Good team than thing we what we had done came out in the of the first half. locker The break kind of room and gave them played a little pretty more time good.” to think about the — Free State’s game.”

S e n i o r Eduardo f o r w a r d Carballido E d u a r d o Flores Carballido Flores said the locker room discussions during the wait centered on finishing chances and reminding each other they didn’t have to obliterate their kicks on every shot that came around.

“Good thing we came out of the locker room and played pretty good,” Flores said. “We kept up the intensity. I’m real happy about that.”

In the 48th minute, FSHS senior midfielder Will Laufer, who had taken two solid cracks at the net in the first half, saw his chance to get the Firebirds back on track. Playing the ball from the left side, Laufer sent it to the bottom-left corner, and senior O-South goalkeeper Max Carnes couldn’t get a read on it.

“It was wet, so I tried to hit it hard near post and have it bounce,” Laufer said. “He thought it was gonna bounce out, and it just went in the corner.”

The score proved to be a breaking point for Free State (8-5-1), which was coming off a loss, a tie and an overtime loss in its last three outings. In the 53rd minute, Flores saw the keeper going right as Laufer won a ball about 20 yards out, and when Laufer tipped it in his direction, Flores re-directed it to the open right side of the net with a slide tackle and a soft touch from his left foot.

“It feels pretty good, especially after what happened on Tuesday,” Flores said, referring to a 2-1 loss to Sunflower League power Shawnee Mission East.

Barah thinks Free State is playing winning soccer now— and did so in its OT loss as well.

Laufer already was looking forward to next week, and the final two games of the regular season: “We need to be on a winning streak going into the postseason.”

and own a 13-11 record this season.

It has been a long journey in the sport for Smoot, who only started working to improve her game last summer.

“Initially, freshman year, I just did it because my friend didn’t want to try out alone,” Smoot said.

“I actually got cut seventhgrade year from the tennis team. But she just didn’t want to try out alone, and I was, like, ‘Whatever.’ Now that I care, I really enjoy it and am really trying to get better.”

During this week’s of practices, Smoot and Cote worked on the fundamentals. They’ve only started playing together as a doubles team this season and have saved some of their best tennis for the end of the year.

“The more that we played, the more we learned about each other and about ourselves as players and about how to

do well with other people,” Cote said. “I think the entirety of the season was a learning experience, and it really culminated at regionals. We kind of put everything we had and ended up doing well.”

It’s the third year Free State senior Rachel Walters will play at state — all with different doubles partners. She started playing with junior Andrea Chen in the middle of this season, and the two have combined for a 12-3 record this year.

FSHS senior Caitlin Dodd and her sophomore sister, Ali, are back at state for the second straight year as a doubles tandem. They took second place at regionals last week and hope to medal after posting a 1-2 record at state last year.

“Obviously, we just gained a lot of experience this past year,” Caitlin Dodd said, “so I think that’s really going to help us.”

think we have. We adjusted to our situation and really attacked it.”

Houk added: “Just how big they are, that definitely helped us. Playing those guys first definitely helped us a lot getting used to it all.”

During the middle of the season, the Firebirds added juniors Jay Dineen and Sam Hambleton to the offensive line as guards.

“At the beginning, I was so against going down because I saw myself as like a fullback and wide receiver,” Dineen said. “But then, when I did move down, I liked how I contributed right away and helped make the line better.”

Free State’s offensive linemen know they’ve improved in the past few weeks, especially after producing more than 330 rushing yards in a victory against Shawnee Mission East.

For Houk and Swisher, this season means a little more after not getting a chance to play in the team’s run to the Class 6A state semifinals last year.

“It’s really special,” Swisher said. “You really don’t take a snap for granted any more. You realize what you missed out on. I think it helped me a little bit as a football player seeing the game and also respecting it.”

At the beginning of the football season, the biggest question for Free State High was its offensive line.

It was understandable, with only one returning starter — senior Tanner Liba. But in the past three weeks, the offensive line has answered all questions.

The Firebirds have averaged more than 440 yards of offense during their three-game win streak heading into districts. Free State will travel to Washburn Rural at 7 tonight.

“Guys had to learn, and they’ve learned well,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “But there were some bumps in the road early, obviously. They’re playing well now, and coach (Brett) Romme has done a great job with them. We need to continue to make improvements as we go along. We can’t rest on our laurels.”

Two members of the offensive line, senior center Garrett Swisher and junior left tackle Chase Houk, didn’t even play last year. Houk missed last season because of a broken foot in the team’s first padded practice, and Swisher sat out to “focus more on my school work and bettering myself for the future.”

But then the Lions fumbled on two straight possessions in the first half, both times deep into Olathe Northwest territory.

“We left a lot of points on the board,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “We had a short field and didn’t get it in. We had another one inside of the 20. Against good people, we have to take advantage of every opportunity. We’ve got to learn from that and we will.”

The Ravens (5-2) couldn’t take advantage of Lawrence’s turnovers.

Olathe Northwest raced into the red zone in the second quarter but missed a 35-yard field goal after solo tackles by linebacker Tanner Green and cornerback Ivan Hollins, along with a sack by defensive end Amani Bledsoe, stalled the drive.

Four plays after the missed field goal, Woods burst through the middle of the field for a 61-yard touchdown run. He added a 62-yard touchdown run up the middle in the third quarter and broke the school record on a 35yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Woods has rushed for 3,289 yards in his varsity career, surpassing Michael Cosey’s previous record of 3,281.

Did he know he broke the record on his touchdown run?

“Price and Peter (Afful) kind of hinted it,” Woods said. “Price goes, ‘I think you might have gotten it.’

I just went, ‘Dude, I don’t know, but I’m exhausted right now.’”

The Ravens cut Lawrence’s lead to 28-7 near the end of the third quarter with a 60-yard touchdown reception from Elijah Roland.

But the Lions’ defense ended any thoughts of a comeback by forcing turnovers. Hollins grabbed an interception when the Ravens were near the red zone, and Morgan grabbed a fumble near the LHS sideline on the next defensive possession.

“We’re proud but definitely not satisfied,” Bledsoe said. “There’s always more to work on. We have to keep getting better each week.”

NEW YORK’S DANIEL MURPHY CELEBRATES WITH teammate Yoenis Cespedes, right, after hitting a sixth-inning home run during Game 5 of the National League Division Series. The Mets defeated the Dodgers, 3-2, on Thursday night in Los Angeles to clinch the series.

NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

Mets finish Dodgers Los Angeles (ap) — Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets caught the Los Angeles Dodgers sleeping, using brains and brawn to advance to an NL Championship Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs.

Murphy stole an uncovered third base and went on to score the tying run, then hit a go-ahead homer off Zack Greinke to lead the Mets over the Dodgers, 3-2, Thursday night in the decisive Game 5 of their NL Division Series.

“What a team win,” Murphy said. “It felt like everybody got a piece of this one.”

After the final out, the Mets swarmed the mound, jumping up and down in unison. They quickly donned black T-shirts and exchanged hugs and high-fives while a small group of orange and blue-clad fans shouted, “Let’s go Mets!”

Jacob deGrom allowed runners in his first five innings but just two runs — on RBI singles by Justin Turner and Andre Ethier that put the Dodgers ahead 2-1 in the first.

New York trailed 2-1 in the fourth inning when, with three infielders on the right side and

three-run homer, emphatically flipping his bat nearly as high in the air.

Bautista’s reaction wasn’t taken well by the Rangers, who essentially called it bush league, and the entire affair touched off a wide-spread debate about decorum.

“You look at all professional sports in general, everybody celebrates more so than they used to,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “In our particular sport, if it’s happening for your team, your guy gets a big hit, nobody minds it. If you’re on the other side, nobody likes it.”

It’s not just what has gone on this postseason, or even in the regular

no one near third, Murphy strolled to second on Lucas Duda’s fourthinning walk and sprinted to third. Shortstop Corey Seager, the closest infielder, was almost all the way toward second.

“Just trying to casually walk to second and hoping that nobody called time because, I look like an idiot if somebody calls time and I run to third,” Murphy said. “I’m not sure who was supposed to cover, but there was nobody there. I’m not the fleetest of foot, but just fast enough for that one.

Travis d’Arnaud followed with a sacrifice fly, and Murphy homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead.

Murphy had three hits off Greinke. Murphy batted .333 in the series and homered three times off Greinke and Clayton Kershaw.

“Daniel was a tough out all series,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “He’s always to me been a guy that’s been a tough out. Pretty much hits everybody’s fastball.”

New York quickly will turn its attention to the Cubs. The NLCS, which starts Saturday night at Citi Field, is the first postseason meeting between the teams.

season, that makes this ALCS matchup so juicy.

It’s also the history the two franchises share.

They met once before in the ALCS, with the Royals rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the first year of seven-game series. The last two wins came in Toronto, providing the Royals with so much momentum that they went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph.

There was plenty of emotion in that series, too.

“I think you just see so much drama at times because it’s the postseason,” Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. “Obviously, that series in Toronto (earlier this year) was two competitive teams. I think that’s why we’re here right now, because it’s two teams that really take pride in

doing things to protect their teammates, to show that the team has a better club.”

The two best teams in the American League go about things in different ways.

Much like that ’85 Royals team, this one is built upon pitching and defense — hard-throwing starters and relievers, and enough speed to track down just about anything that stays in their park.

That was a big reason why they were able to down the Astros in their divisional series.

“A big part of their success is they flag the ball down, because a lot of teams can’t, because the outfield is so big here,” said Gibbons, a former bench coach in Kansas City. “We’re built a little bit differently. I think a lot of it has to do with where we play.”

The Blue Jays play in hitter-friendly Rogers Centre, so naturally they’re among the best in baseball at scoring with a single swing. Bautista’s shot against the Rangers was proof, but so were the major league leagueleading 232 homers that Toronto hit during the regular season.

That’s why the Royals intend to pitch the Blue Jays inside, to mitigate their power. And also why there could be some High School Scores testy moments when the Lawrence 35, Olathe Northwest 7 Topeka Seaman 71, Topeka West 20 teams begin their best-ofWichita North 22, Wichita East 5 seven showdown.

FOOTBALL

Beaty to reunite with another old friend

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

David Beaty’s “Hey There, Old Friend, Tour” continues when Kansas University football welcomes Texas Tech to Lawrence for an 11 a.m. kickoff Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

During his first five games as head coach of the Jayhawks, Beaty has squared off against a handful of former colleagues, mentors and friends on opposing sidelines. He’ll add another to this list this week, when he faces Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Beaty and Kingsbury worked together for one season at Texas A&M. Earlier this week, Beaty said Kingsbury played a crucial role in getting him on A&M coach Kevin Sumlin’s staff.

With Kingsbury serving as Sumlin’s offensive coordinator in 2012, the Aggies entered the year in need of a wide-receivers coach. Beaty, having just completed his second stint at Kansas, under recently fired KU coach Turner Gill, was in need of a job. As it turned out,

Journal World, AP File Photos

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH DAVID BEATY, IN PHOTO AT LEFT, and Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury coached together at Texas A&M. They’ll coach against each other Saturday at Memorial Stadium. a 2010 matchup between Kingsbury, at Houston, and Beaty, at Rice, might have been responsible for Kingsbury encouraging Sumlin to add Beaty to the staff.

“We did not have a great team,” Beaty began.

“But we were coming on offensively. We were doing OK, and I think we won that game on a lastsecond play. We threw a little corner route out of a three-by-one set. I’ll never forget that. “(Kliff and I) had routinely texted back and forth, but the text (after that game) was a little dif-

ferent. It was like, ‘Hey, man, you did a great job.

Man, congratulations.’

He’s that type of a humble guy. ... I think I got the call from him because of that game. I think he was impressed with maybe some of the things we did in the passing game that day.”

Although Kingsbury this week did not get into the specifics of that game — a 34-31 Rice victory at Rice Stadium in Houston — it was clear that positive memories stuck with him from his time working with Beaty in College Station.

“Tremendous recruit-

er,” Kingsbury said. “I think when we got to Texas A&M, he had a veteran group of wide receivers and (future firstround draft pick) Mike Evans, who was a young guy, (and) it was just really impressive to get Mike Evans to the level he did that quickly and manage those older guys and gain their respect very quickly.

I think he’s a tremendous football coach. I know he’s trying to build something special out there.”

The feeling seems to be mutual and, at least for Beaty, goes well beyond football.

“I don’t know if I know five humans better than Kliff Kingsbury,” Beaty said. “I really don’t. He’s a humble, hard-working, blue-collar, up-at-4:30every-morning (guy).

“I thought I worked hard. This dude works.”

Well versed as a player and coach in the Air Raid Offense — Kingsbury recorded more than 12,000 passing yards from 1999-2002 as a Texas Tech quarterback under Mike Leach — Kingsbury brings to Lawrence the nation’s No. 1 passing offense. Led by sophomore QB Patrick Mahomes,

Hoops

Kingsbury’s Red Raiders average 439 passing yards and 53 points per game and last week set a school record with 776 yards of total offense in a victory over Iowa State.

As has been the case at Tech for years, the quarterback is the one who makes the whole thing go. And Beaty had some high praise for Mahomes, who last season appeared in seven games and threw for 1,547 yards and 16 touchdowns in relief of former Tech starter Davis Webb.

“He had a couple of scramble throws against Baylor that were, like, ‘Oh my goodness, how did he do that?’” Beaty said of Mahomes. “He reminds me a little bit of (former A&M QB) Johnny (Manziel) in regard to the escapability that he has, for sure.

“We’ve got another great opportunity this week against another really good football team, one of the best offensive football teams in the country,” Beaty said.

“They’re good, now.

They’ve got some of the most explosive guys that play Div. I football.”

to the USA Today poll, which on Thursday selected KU No. 5 overall.

“I think Iowa State would have gotten more first-place votes if Fred (Hoiberg) had still been the coach. Steve (Prohm) is going to do a great job, but there’s the unknown of the coach. Just like, you lose a point guard, there’s the unknown of a point guard. There’s the unknown of how they’ll mesh playing Steve’s style. I think they’ll do great. I think they can go to the Final Four. I think OU can go to the Final Four. I think if we played well, we’d have a shot.

West Virginia and Baylor are preseason rated, too.

The league is going to be great.”

Coleby out of surgery: KU junior transfer Dwight Coleby had successful left knee surgery Monday in Lawrence, Self said. “The doctors said it went perfect. They did a lot of work. They did the ACL and had to repair some other stuff while they were in there,” Self said. “They think if he works hard in rehab, no reason why he can’t be ready to go in six or seven months.”

Self says: Self commented on several players after practice.

On freshman forward Carlton Bragg and the frontcourt: “I think Carlton is going to be great.

He’s been well drilled. I think he will definitely impact us right off the bat.

Landen (Lucas), Hunter (Mickelson) and Jamari (Traylor) are all playing pretty well right now, so it looks like a crowded house. If you look at raw

potential our two most talented guys other than Perry (Ellis) are freshmen (Cheick Diallo and Bragg).”

On senior forward Ellis: “Perry is playing at a really high level. He looks leaner to me. He’s more explosive. We’re trying to play him everywhere on the court. To me he looks more athletic.”

On junior wing Brannen Greene: “This is the first day he practiced this week because he bumped his knee. He’s doing fine.

He can shoot.”

freshman Cheick Diallo: “He’s good. He’s aggressive. He took me out earlier (hitting him in face while playing inside).

Of getting hit in the head, Traylor said: “I was mad, but I can’t be mad at Cheick. He didn’t try to do it. I had to take my time and shake it off. I got up and continued on with practice. It is physical,” he added of practice.

Stillwater, Okla.

— Kansas University’s tennis team won five of six singles matches Thursday in the ITA Midwest Regionals.

Nina Khmelnitckaia, Janet Koch, Summer Collins, Smith Hinton and Anastasiya Rychagova won singles matches for the Jayhawks.

Koch and Rychagova also teamed to win two doubles matches, and Maria Jose Cardona and Khmelnitckaia teamed to pick up one doubles win.

“All in all, today was a successful day,” KU coach Todd Chapman said. “We won eight of our 11 matches. I am like most coaches, in that I feel like we left a couple matches out there that I thought we could have won.

We are excited to have five out of six still in the main draw of singles. Tomorrow things are going to be much more difficult, so we need to be prepared to raise our level of play.”
