100 YEARS OF SAVING LIVES From wagons to fire trucks, mission hasn’t changed

t 93 years old, Sam Brubaker has been alive almost as long as the fire department in which he spent nearly three decades has been a municipal entity.

Brubaker, of Lawrence, joined the Lawrence Fire Department — now known as Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical — in 1947 after returning home from World War II the previous year. Firefighting was markedly different then, he said, working in a world where fires were fought without masks

and rescue ladders were wooden.

“Toward the end, we got two Chem-Ox systems, but the canisters were $4.95 each, so the chief said not to use them,” Brubaker said.

“And until the last few years I was there, all fire trucks had solid rubber tires and open cabs.”

The department’s a lot different now, as LD-

CFM marks its 100th anniversary as a municipal fire department. Since 1915, LDCFM has gone from 10 paid firefighters to 140, one station to five and horse-drawn carriages to $1 million fire engines.

new survey of approximately 1,000 LJWorld.com users found that more than 40 percent — more than any other option — supported a proposal to develop a 250,000-squarefoot shopping center in south Lawrence.

But respondents were split when asked whether the new big box stores would draw shoppers away from downtown, and a majority said there was just the right amount of retail options in Lawrence already.

Tiller’s murderer subject to Hard 50

DEATHS RobeRt James ‘bob’ edgin No services are planned for Bob Edgin, 86, Lawrence, who died Friday, Oct. 23, 2015, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Full obituary at rumsey-yost.com

Wichita (ap) — Scott Roeder, convicted of killing Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, will be subject to a Hard 50 sentence when he is resentenced, after a Sedgwick County judge rejected a motion contending a change in state law should not to be applied to him.

Mark Rudy, chief attorney for the Sedgwick County Public Defender’s Office, argued during a hearing Friday that Roeder should be sentenced to 25 years to life, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Roeder’s sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 50 years was among many vacated after a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that juries, not judges, must decide whether aggravating circumstances existed to warrant increasing the penalty for a crime above its mandatory minimum sentence.

The Kansas Legislature changed state law to reflect that ruling. Rudy argued the change was unconstitutional and should not be retroactive to Roeder’s case.

“The law (prosecutors) are trying to sentence him under didn’t exist in 2010, so he should default to the 25-to-life sentence. The state shouldn’t even be able to ask for 50 to life,” he said.

The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office said in a written response that legislative changes to the Hard 50 law were merely procedural, are constitutional and didn’t violate Roeder’s rights.

Sedgwick County District Court Judge Warren Wilbert rejected the motion, as well as another asking for a new trial based on a change in Kansas law that now defines conception as the beginning of life.

Roeder, 57, was convicted of first-degree murder in Tiller’s death and of two counts of aggravated assault for threatening to shoot two other men inside Reformation Lutheran Church on May 31, 2009.

He testified that he decided to shoot Tiller because other attempts to stop the doctor from performing abortions had failed.

Rudy said he doesn’t expect Roeder to be resentenced until next summer at the earliest. When that happens, a new jury will decide whether Roeder’s crimes warrant a second Hard 50 sentence.

Library to host health care talk The Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., is hoping to spark a conversation about important health care issues.

This afternoon, Jim McLean of the Kansas Health Institute News Service and Sandy Praeger, former Kansas insurance commissioner, will lead that conversation, specifically as it relates to the Affordable Care Act, the library said in a release. The

open discourse is meant to address what can be done to ensure Kansans have access to healthcare.

The conversation and a question-and-answer session will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. in the library’s auditorium, the release said. The event is free and open to the public.

School board to review traffic, crosswalk report

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence school board Monday will review changes to school traffic flow and crosswalks at seven schools that were made in response to community concerns.

The traffic and crosswalk report will be presented at the school board meeting Monday evening and includes changes to traffic flow, parking, and location and number of school crossings and crossing guards.

Many of the seven

schools in the report are in high-traffic areas or have busy streets nearby that students need to cross to get to school, such as Cordley, Pinkney and Sunset Hill elementary schools.

Over the past year, there have been numerous com-

munity concerns regarding traffic flow and school crossings that impact schools in the district, the introduction for the report states. The City of Lawrence has worked closely with the school district and has developed a process to address concerns.

The report will update the school board on changes and upcoming plans at the seven schools.

About a year ago, the city began work on its Safe Routes to School plan with a goal of making paths to school more walkable and bikeable for kids. The

project — in partnership with the Lawrence school district, the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department, the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization, LiveWell Please see TRAFFIC, page 4A

Rare, 30-inch-long eel caught in Kansas River

‘Grayhawkers’ are first Granny Basketball team in Kansas

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

It’s not often you see an 81-yearold woman take a shoulder in the chest and fall hard to the floor only to bounce back up a moment later, smiling. But that’s exactly

what Marjorie Beatty did Saturday evening at Holcom Park Recreation Center, 2700 W. 27th St. Beatty popped up, of course, because she was in the middle of a basketball game. “I’m from Iowa,� she said about her fall. “Corn fed.�

Beatty and several other women from out of state were in Lawrence to help start up another Granny Basketball League for women 50 and older.

The league began in Iowa in Please see GRANNY, page 7A

A rare fish typically found closer to the Gulf of Mexico or in the Atlantic Ocean was reeled in out of the Kansas River in Lawrence not long ago, according to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

On Sept. 11, Tim Smith, of Larned, pulled a 30-inch-long American Eel out of the river from off the Bowersock Dam, said Ron Kaufman, a spokesman for the department. It has been around 10 years since another eel was documented in the state.

The American Eel can be found in salt or fresh water, Kaufman said. They spawn in the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. “So it would have migrated from the Atlantic through the Gulf, up the Mississippi,� he said. “It would have taken a turn at Saint Louis to get to the Missouri River and another left to get into the Kansas River.�

Up the Kansas River the eel traveled until it was blocked by the dam from

going upstream farther.

For one eel to make the entire trip isn’t all that impossible, Kaufman said, and it’s possible others are lurking in the area, but unlikely they’ll be seen. “They’re pretty secretive and active mainly in the evening and night,� he said. “I think it’s possible that there are more in the Kansas (River) and possibly more around the Bowersock Dam area.�

Smith caught the eel using a rod and reel with a worm for bait, Kaufman said, but it wasn’t immediately clear if he kept the fish or threw it back.

Although the capture of this eel isn’t the first and likely won’t be the last, it sure makes for an interesting fishing outing, Kaufman said. “It’s always a matter of interest when something like this is caught,� he said. “We occasionally get reports of other species that aren’t often seen, and for our biologist this was likely pretty intriguing.� — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7284.

BRIEFLY Topeka man offended by ‘ghost tour’ Topeka — A Topeka man is upset that a ghost tour charged people to enter a site where his grandfather was shot to death while working as a police officer.

Ghost Tours of Kansas hosted an event at Topeka’s Moose Lodge earlier this month. The lodge is

where Clarence Shields, a police officer, was shot to death in April 1955 when he surprised two burglars.

The Wichita Eagle reports Shields’ grandson, Joey Little, says his family is bothered because charging admission made the site an entertainment venue.

A THREE-PANEL, 30-BY-4-FOOT MURAL WAS UNVEILED AT EDGEWOOD HOMES, 1600 Haskell Ave., on Thursday. The mural was created by local artists Amber Hansen and Nicholas Ward with the help of about 30 children ages 7 through 16.

Edgewood Homes mural exhibits neighborhood effort

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

At the unveiling of a mural at Edgewood Homes on Thursday, kids pointed out their own drawings or images of themselves within the scene.

The mural, titled “All In My Neighborhood,” is a project of the Full Circle youth program and was made using the drawings, stories and photographs of the program’s participants. Ensuring the project was community-based was key, said Chris Lempa, coordinator for Full Circle.

“The community process of really engaging them as equals and helping them find their voices — and not just lip service that we often do with kids — is very powerful,” Lempa said.

About 30 kids ages 7 through 16 from Full Circle, a drop-in youth program for LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority residents, spent the summer working with local artists on the project. The LDCHA provides

Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the school district, and Ron May, director of administrative services, will present the report to the school board.

housing assistance to lowincome residents in Douglas County through its voucher program as well as the 130 units at Edgewood, 1600 Haskell Ave. The program didn’t want a project where it was just the artists coming in and doing it, but instead a visioning process that fully involved the kids, Lempa said. As part of that goal, the project included an 11-year-old resident, Jafiya Birdling, as muralist assistant.

“I like that I had a say,” Jafiya said. “It’s just like the title says, ‘All in the Neighborhood,’ it’s for everyone.”

The 30-by-4-foot mural includes three panels, each with a scene on the theme of place: the kids’ current home, their envisioned future home and other locations important to them, Lempa said.

“Seeing pieces of their drawings taken out — mixed in with what their friends were doing, mixed in with what the professional artists were doing — and seeing that become a piece of public art, it’s school board will recognize a seventh-grade science teacher at West Middle School, Lucinda Crenshaw, who is a finalist for Kansas Teacher of the Year. The winner will be announced during ceremonies Nov. 21 in Wichita.

District officials also will present a report on changes to the administrative software program BusinessPlus, which supports the district’s management of resources, both financial and personnel.

The school board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

“

Seeing pieces of their drawings taken out — mixed in with what their friends were doing, mixed in with what the professional artists were doing — and seeing that become a piece of public art, it’s something they are really proud of.”

— Chris Lempa, coordinator of Full Circle

something they are really proud of,” Lempa said.

The program received a Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission grant for about $2,000 in May to fund the project. Two Lawrence muralists, Nicholas Ward and Amber Hansen, worked with the LDCHA’s younger residents over the summer to plan the mural and incorporated the kids’ drawings and depictions of stories they told.

“They really are the designers and content creators,” Hansen said.

Along with the drawings and stories, Ward and Hansen also included actual scenes from the kids’ lives in the mural.

Photographs — of residents interacting or playing

outside at Edgewood — were projected to create painted versions of the images, Ward explained.

The combination of the three elements allowed residents to represent their stories and their community, he said.

“In five years, they’ll be grown up and might have moved away, but it’s just a snapshot of this moment in time,” Ward said.

The mural is installed on a fence outside the LDCHA Barbara Huppee Community Facility, which houses the Full Circle program and is located within Edgewood.

Meet Gary Nelson, new leader of Douglas County Senior Services

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Just more than a month ago, Gary Nelson took over as executive director for Douglas County Senior Services, and he hit the ground running.

Early on, Nelson said he got his hands dirty filling in for a few employees who were out on vacation. He delivered meals and transported seniors Nelson to and from medical appointments and other obligations around town.

“They tested me early,” he said. “It was a good experience because it needed to be done, and that’s a part of my management style, to do what needs to be done.

“It just took me a while because I don’t know the town well enough,” he added with a laugh.

Nelson is a native of Lindsborg, where he received a good education and learned to appreciate a sense of community, he said.

“Fine arts were huge, lots of music,” he said. “It was a great place to grow up. But I think anybody in the Midwest could say that. You get a good farm work ethic, surrounded by hardworking people.”

After a brief stint at Washburn University in Topeka, Nelson said he was drafted and sent off to Vietnam for a time.

When he returned from overseas, Nelson said he resumed his studies at Western State College of Colorado (now Western State Colorado University) in Gunnison, Colo. There

he studied biology and secondary education.

A few years into his teaching career, Nelson moved into a principal position in Lincoln, Kan., and then became the district’s superintendent. In those positions, he said, he enjoyed the work, but missed the feel of a classroom.

On particularly difficult days, Nelson said one of the few things that could cheer him up was a quick visit to a firstor second-grade classroom where he could see the smiling faces of students around him.

“The only negative about the administrative side is that while we felt we had more of an impact on what we were doing for the kids, you’re stepping further and further away from the kids,” he said.

Despite that distance, Nelson said he prefers a hands-on managerial style where he can learn about the issues and the people up close.

After retiring from the school district, Nelson said he wasn’t ready to stop working altogether and employment with a nonprofit such as Douglas County Senior Services is just what he was looking for.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to come into this position, and hopefully we’ll do some good things,” he said. “I’ve been really impressed with the people we have here.”

DCSS Board Chairman Dennis Domer said Nelson has made a few changes

Q: What was your last position?

Education?

A: I was Superintendent of Schools for USD 298 Lincoln in Lincoln, Kansas.

I graduated from Western State College of Colorado (now Western State Colorado University) with a Bachelor of Science in biology with a minor in secondary education. As a teacher I taught biology, human physiology and anatomy, chemistry and physics. I have a master’s degree in educational administration from Emporia State University.

Q&A

Q: What drew you towards Lawrence and Douglas County?

A: My wife, Karen, and I had been talking about moving to Lawrence for the past few years. We both like the area, the culture, activities and opportunities that Lawrence and Douglas County have to offer. Karen is a KU graduate, and both of our daughters attended KU. We always enjoyed our visits to Lawrence when the girls were in school.

Another blessing that occurred after we had decided to move to Lawrence was the birth of our granddaughter.

I would say that pretty much sealed the deal in our decision to move to Lawrence.

Q: What about working at Douglas County Senior Services appealed to you?

A: As a public school employee, I

since he’s taken over the organization, including hiring a few new faces.

As Nelson becomes more acquainted with the group and the population it serves, Domer said he’s sure there will be more positive changes to come.

“We’re seeing a slow transformation of the agency,” Domer said. “Gary is getting his feet wet and trying to understand the various issues in particular.”

DCSS’s executive director position has changed hands many times in recent years, but Domer said he and the rest of the board are confident with Nelson’s experience and abilities.

“We have a lot to do but I think we have a good deal of capability now that we didn’t have a year ago and we should expect great things,” he said.

Nelson said he and his wife, Karen, have been married for 35 years. Together they have two daughters, two sons-in-law and one granddaughter.

In his spare time, Nelson said he enjoys mountain biking, a hobby he and his wife picked up in Colorado, reading and playing guitar.

Now that he’s passed his first month in his new position, Nelson said he’s enjoyed his time in Lawrence, both inside and outside of work.

“There was a lot of water under the bridge in the first 30 days of being here,” he said. “It’s good and I feel good about it, and optimistic.”

have been a public servant for my entire career. I told my friends that when I retired I wanted to continue contributing to society. I was interested in working for some type of nonprofit organization. When I saw the executive director opening and began checking out DCSS, I thought it would be a good fit for me.

Q: Now that you have worked at DCSS for a month, what have you learned?

A: I’ve learned that we have a very dedicated staff and an informed board of directors. I’ve had an opportunity to have some formal meetings and some informal conversations with staff members, which has given me lots of encouragement about our organization.

I also had a chance to jump into the trenches to help out with scheduling transportation for some of our senior citizens and work at scheduling volunteer drivers for our Senior Meals program, which delivers meals to home bound seniors.

Q: What changes do you envision for DCSS in the future?

A: I don’t think that I have been here long enough to have a vision that is very far out. But I am confident with our staff and the support of our board of directors, we will move forward in a collaborative and organized effort.

Pets can get allergies just like people

D

id you know that animals can be allergic to things, just like you?

If your pet is itchy, ruling out parasites or simple skin infections is easy and is often very simple to treat; however, if that treatment fails to resolve the itching and irritated skin, it is important to rule out allergies.

Many people don’t know that animals can be allergic to certain components in the food they eat. Your veterinarian can recommend a food that contains a new protein that they have never consumed before, and if the previous food is the cause of the problem, the skin problems will often dissipate with time.

In order to test for this problem, the animal must be fed the new food exclusively (including treats) for six to eight weeks (this means no table scraps!).

If the skin issues improve, there is a good chance that a food allergy is the cause.

If the allergy is not caused by food, it is possible your pet may be allergic to something in their environment. Pets can have reactions to many different allergens including dander from other animals, pollen and different types of grasses.

2005, explained Michele Clark, one of the players and organizers for Lawrence’s new team, the Grayhawkers. Now there are teams in eight different states, with Kansas being the eighth.

Saturday’s first game consisted of Grayhawkers playing Grayhawkers because they’re the only team in the state, Clark said. But with each new practice more women show up to play, and they hope to create another team soon.

A second, exhibition game Saturday pitted Grayhawkers against a “Celebrity Town Team” consisting of familiar faces from around Lawrence, including JournalWorld Managing Editor Chad Lawhorn.

Teams playing Granny Basketball base their rules and uniforms on standards from the 1920s, Clark said. They play sixon-six. No running, jumping or physical contact is allowed.

And if a player’s bloomers begin to ride up, a “flesh foul” may be called, Clark said. Adhering to the uniform standards of the 1920s requires no bare flesh be shown from neck to toes.

Jennifer Stone Shelby. She came from a situation where she was not receiving the care that she needed for her skin problems. She was missing hair all over her body, her skin was chronically thickened, and she was itchy all the time.

After running many tests, we learned that many of Shelby’s skin problems were due to allergies.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to immediately send her to a dermatologist who could provide advanced testing and treatment for her problems.

With the help of the dermatologist, we learned that Shelby suffered from environmental allergies, and found that she was allergic to almost every type of grass imaginable.

We set out on a path to get her itch under control. Shelby was treated for months with antibiotics, medicated baths and specially throw is worth one point.

Granny shots are worth three points, though, ironically, none were taken during the Grayhawkers’ game Saturday night.

“It’s a way to preserve the history of girls’ basketball,” Clark said. “And to help people see how it used to be played.”

Throughout four eightminute quarters, the ladies hustled up and down the court.

Shoes squeaked, baskets were scored and fouls were called. Every now and then, a player would hit the ground and “granny down” could be heard from the announcer, but a declaration of “granny up” was never far behind.

At 82 years old, Kathleen Ramonda was the oldest woman on the court Saturday night, though Beatty said her 90-year-old sister is still on a team.

Ramonda’s favorite part of the game was just getting to play, and she wasn’t worried about injuries or being sore this morning. Instead, she prefers to focus on the exercise and social interaction she gets when she plays.

“I was tired of sitting at home looking at four walls,” she laughed.

Ramonda practiced twice with the team before Saturday’s game and said she plans to keep playing.

Shelby made immunotherapy to desensitize her to the allergens. At long last, her allergies are under control and she is feeling great again. She’s ready for adoption!

Most animals don’t have such severe problems, but Shelby’s story is a great example of how complicated skin issues can be.

The best advice is that if you have an animal that appears to be itchy, don’t wait until the problems become severe before taking it to a veterinarian. Many times the solution is simple, such as flea treatment. But if there is an allergic component present, the sooner it is diagnosed, the easier it will be to manage in the long run.

“So many people out there say, ‘I’m too old,’” Amber Schreiber said.

“You’re not too old, you’ve just got to have the right mentality. I commend these women.

They’re inspiring.”

Because of Lawrence’s history with the sport of basketball, Clark said, she’s happy to see the Kansas extension’s first team start here.

“It had to start in Lawrence,” she said. “It’s a tribute to Coach (James) Naismith to start Granny Basketball here.”

As the Kansas league begins to grow, the teams will travel and compete, Clark said. And playing against Iowa or Missouri teams, or any other teams around the country, could lead to some intense but fun competition.

“I think we could have some border wars,” Clark laughed.

About this story

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

A North Carolinabased development group, Collett, filed plans to build the retail and restaurant space at the southeast corner of the South Lawrence Trafficway/Iowa Street interchange. Though not official, Collett officials have said stores such as Academy Sports, Old Navy, Marshalls/ HomeGoods and Designer Shoe Warehouse were possible tenants.

This proposal — and a larger one from the same development group that never gained approval — have started the debate on what type of commercial development Lawrence residents want, how much and where.

It’s a topic the City Commission soon will have to weigh in on.

In August, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended the development plan for approval.

The City Commission must give the final go-ahead for the project to move forward. The issue is currently listed as a future agenda item for the commission, with a tentative date of Nov. 10.

Here’s a look at the survey results: l When respondents were asked how they’d describe the amount of retail shopping options in the city, 63 percent voted there was “just the right amount.” Our polling partner, Google Consumer Surveys, noted that the answer had a 95 percent confidence level, meaning if the poll were conducted 100 times, it would be the top-selected choice 95 times. There being “not enough” shopping options had 32.4 percent of votes. Only 4.6 percent said there was “an unhealthy overabundance.” These results had margins of error from 1.1 to 2.8 percent. l In response to the question about the proposal to build a new

A Thousand Voices is a new feature that will measure how at least 1,000 readers of LJWorld. com feel about a variety of issues being debated by the public. The Journal-World will regularly conduct a poll that captures a representative sample of the approximately 35,000 users of LJWorld.com. All polling will be conducted by our partner, Google Consumer Surveys. The Google system chooses participants for the poll at random, has mechanisms in place designed to prevent a single user from casting multiple votes, and calculates results using margins of error and 95 percent confidence levels common to the polling industry.

If you have a topic you would like to see as part of a future poll, please suggest it to Nikki Wentling at nwentling@ljworld.com. shopping center near the SLT/Iowa Street interchange, 42.5 percent — again, with a 95 percent confidence level — voted in favor of it. The other two choices were close: 29.5 percent said they did not support the development, and 28 percent said they were unsure.

Margins of error for this question ranged from 2.5 to 2.9 percent. l There was no obvious winner on the next question, about whether a new shopping center at the SLT/Iowa Street interchange would draw shoppers away from downtown Lawrence.

Of the more than 1,000 responses, 40.3 percent voted that yes, it would draw shoppers from downtown, and 36.9 percent voted no. Another 22.8 percent were unsure.

Google Consumer Surveys noted the results were too close to call, and there were margins of error from 2.3 to 2.9 percent.

Take note: Would-be respondents were first asked whether they were Lawrence shoppers. If they answered “no” to this screening question, the survey ended.

It’s clear from our survey results that there remains debate over whether the development could mean new shopping dollars being spent in the city, or if that money would just be pulled from other places, such as downtown stores.

Damage to downtown Lawrence was a concern voiced by residents when

the planning commission was considering a larger shopping center that was also proposed by Collett.

The planning commission recommended for denial last year a larger shopping center — more than 500,000 square feet — proposed by the same development group for the same location.

At the time, several planning commissioners said they would prefer a large retail development be located in areas already zoned for commercial development near the Rock Chalk Park sports complex in northwest Lawrence. But that area has not yet attracted any retailers.

On the other side of the argument, there were Lawrence residents who said the city needed new stores, as well as the tax dollars they would bring.

The smaller development plan being considered now comprises two large anchor stores, three junior anchor stores and two other buildings for small shops. Six lots along the SLT are labeled as parcels.

When looking at the smaller shopping development, the planning commissioners in August recommended for approval a change to the city’s comprehensive plan to designate the SLT/Iowa Street interchange area for regional commercial use, instead of auto commercial and residential, as it is now.

It will be interesting to see what happens when this smaller proposal

L awrence J ournal -W orld

goes to the City Commission.

New commissioner Lisa Larsen has said she doesn’t yet have an opinion on the specific project but has concerns in general with “overbuilding.” She said she doesn’t want to see empty storefronts in the city, and she noted the importance of keeping downtown stores healthy.

During the election this past spring, commissioner Matthew Herbert said that new retail projects not requesting any tax incentives should be an easy “yes” for the commission, the JournalWorld has reported. We also reported that commissioner Leslie Soden said during the campaign that, without proper planning, Lawrence’s retail scene could become too focused on one area of town.

Kansas nuclear-testing lab has no staff Topeka (ap) — A Kansas laboratory responsible for testing for contamination in the event of an accident at the state’s only nuclear power plant hasn’t been staffed for several weeks after its final two employees left in September.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said routine samples are being sent to the Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory until new staff can be hired at its Radiochemistry Section. If there were an emergency, several other KDHE bureaus would respond, agency spokeswoman Sara Belfry told The Topeka

Capital-Journal.

The KDHE confirmed Thursday that the lab hasn’t been testing samples since late September and hasn’t been staffed since Sept. 22.

In addition to routine testing at the nuclear power plant near Burlington, south of Topeka, the lab would be “called upon to analyze samples which would determine extent of resulting contamination” after an accident, according to KDHE’s website.

Russel Stukey, emergency management coordinator for Coffey County, where Wolf Creek is

located, said he found out the lab had no staff within the past couple of weeks.

“It’s probably not horrible, but it is not the way you would prefer to have it,” Stukey said.

In response to any nuclear accident, Stukey said he would likely overevacuate the area around Wolf Creek as a precaution.

Belfry said KDHE expects to interview and hire personnel as quickly as possible. It has posted five chemist positions at a salary of either $19.66 or $22.16 an hour. That comes to about $41,000 or $46,000 annually.

Lie confirmed Thursday’s Benghazi hearings revealed a lie that could affect Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

S

trong Democratic loyalists and devout Hillary Clinton supporters are crowing about the former secretary of state’s performance in the hours-long grilling by members of the Select U.S. House Benghazi committee.

They portray her as coming out of this pressure cooker unscathed and ready to sail past any competition to gain the Democratic presidential nomination and then march into the White House Oval Office.

The headline in one national newspaper said, “Plenty of fireworks, no smoking gun.” Another headline read, “Little new revealed in Benghazi hearing.”

This may be how many view Clinton’s testimony: that there were no bombshells or damaging blows to Clinton’s years-long campaign to win the presidency.

However, there was one glaring and tremendously powerful revelation coming out of the hearing. Clinton lied about the cause of the attack on Benghazi. She lied to the public and she lied to the mothers and fathers of those killed in the terrorist attack. She and her spokespeople initially claimed the attack was a reaction to a video shown in Cairo rather than being a well-organized terrorist attack.

Testimony at Thursday’s hearing disclosed Clinton knew immediately it was a terrorist attack. She told others it was a terrorist attack, but she told the public it was merely a reaction to the video and that the U.S. government would not stop looking for and prosecuting the individual who produced the video.

This was window dressing designed to minimize the damage to President Obama’s re-election efforts. He had emphasized that dangers from terrorist attacks had been minimized or downsized significantly during his first term in the White House.

To many, the “bombshell” coming out of the hearing was that Clinton lied about the attack that cost the lives of a U.S. ambassador and three security officers.

Once a person lies, whether it’s a presidential candidate, Republican or Democrat, or an average citizen, how can he or she be trusted to tell the truth on future matters? Various national polls prior to last week’s Benghazi hearings said the word “liar” was one of the most prevalent one-word descriptions respondents attached to Clinton.

How can lying be laughed off or considered inconsequential when considering attributes or weaknesses of a presidential candidate — or anyone else?

How can a liar be trusted or placed in a high government position?

Criminal justice system needs reform Washington — The Republican Party, like Sisyphus, is again putting its shoulder to a boulder, hoping to make modest but significant changes in the Electoral College arithmetic by winning perhaps 12 percent of the African-American vote. To this end, they need to hone a rhetoric of skepticism about, and an agenda for reform of, the criminal justice system.

They can draw on the thinking of a federal appellate judge nominated by Ronald Reagan.

In an article that has stirred considerable discussion since it appeared this past summer in The Georgetown Law Journal, Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit provides facts and judgments that should disturb everyone, but especially African-Americans, whose encounters with the criminal justice system are dismayingly frequent and frequently dismaying.

Eyewitness testimony is, Kozinski says, “highly unreliable, especially where the witness and the perpetrator are of different races.” Mistaken eyewitnesses figured in 34 percent of wrongful convictions in the database of the National Registry of Exonerations. Fingerprint evidence, too, has “a significant error rate,” as does spectrographic voice identification (error rates up to 63 percent) and handwriting identification (error rates average 40 percent). Many defendants have spent years in prison “based on evidence by arson experts who

“

Eyewitness testimony is, Kozinski says, ‘highly unreliable, especially where the witness and the perpetrator are of different races.’” were later shown to be little better than witch doctors.”

DNA evidence is reliable when properly handled, but is only as good as are the fallible testing labs.

“Much of what we do in the courtroom relies,” Kozinski writes, “on human memory.” But the more we learn about the way memories are “recorded, stored and retrieved,” the less confidence we can have that memories are undistorted and unembellished by the mind or external influences.

And courts rarely allow expert testimony on memory.

The idea that at least confessions are reliable because “innocent people never confess” is refuted by the indisputable fact that they do “with surprising regularity.”

They do for reasons ranging from a desire to end harsh interrogations, to emotional and financial exhaustion, and to coercive charging of

multiple offenses made possible by the overcriminalization of life.

Kozinski says we know “very little” about how juries decide cases. “Do they assume that the presumption (of innocence) remains in place until it is overcome by persuasive evidence or do they believe it disappears as soon as any actual evidence is presented?” Do they actually distinguish between a “preponderance” of evidence, “clear and convincing” evidence, and evidence “beyond a reasonable doubt”?

Research demonstrates that the person — the prosecutor — making a first assertion has a substantial advantage over those who subsequently deny it. In the courtroom, juries first hear from prosecutors.

Prosecutions are preceded by police investigations. Police, says Kozinski, have “vast discretion” about, among many other things, which leads to pursue and witnesses to interview.

They also have opportunities “to manufacture or destroy evidence, influence witnesses, extract confessions” and otherwise “stack the deck against people they think should be convicted.”

A woman spent 23 years on death row because of an oral confession she supposedly made during a 20-minute interrogation by a detective who Kozinski says was later shown “to be a serial liar.” The conviction of a man who spent 39 years in prison was based “entirely” on the eyewitness testimony of a 12-year-old who saw the crime from a distance, failed

to identify the man in a lineup, and was fed information by the police.

Kozinski suggests many reforms, including recording all interrogations of suspects, strictly limiting uses of jailhouse informants, allowing jurors to take notes and ask questions during the trial, and repealing three felony statutes a day for three years. He cites “disturbing indications that a non-trivial number of prosecutors — and sometimes entire prosecutorial offices — engage in misconduct.” Because a conscientious FBI agent revealed that Justice Department prosecutors concealed exculpatory evidence, we know that Alaska’s Republican Sen. Ted Stevens was wrongly convicted of corruption. Kozinski, who recommends establishing independent prosecutorial integrity units, thinks the Justice Department’s unit “seems to view its mission as cleaning up the reputation of prosecutors who have gotten themselves into trouble.”

Kozinski favors abrogating absolute prosecutorial immunity.

Finally, he advocates careful study of exonerations, of which there have been 1,576 since 1989. And for every one “there may be dozens who are innocent but cannot prove it.” If the error rate is 1 percent, 22,000 innocent people are in prison. If the rate is 5 percent, the number is 110,000. Whatever the number, it almost certainly is disproportionately African-American.

Police should have nothing to hide The question was first posed by Juvenal, a Latin poet whose life spanned the first and second centuries: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Translation: “Who watches the watchmen?”

The old question finds new relevance in an era of heightened concern about police brutality, where cameras are omnipresent and police misbehavior routinely goes viral.

These days, all of us watch the watchmen, a de facto citizens review board armed with cellphone cameras.

Why not? Police certainly use sophisticated versions of the same gadgets to watch us. Cameras catch us speeding and running red lights.

There is even a camera that reads your license plate and checks for warrants. All that notwithstanding, police have long resisted the idea that citizens have a right to record them at work.

The ante has been upped in recent years amid a flurry of citizen, dashcam and surveillance videos capturing questionable police behavior ranging from a man killed by a chokehold in New York to the takedown of a 15-yearold girl in a bikini in Texas, to a man in Delaware kicked in the head while comply-

ing with an order to get on the ground, to a New Jersey man having a police dog sicced on him after he was subdued, to a man shot in the back in South Carolina.

Which brings us to the unfortunate thing Rahm Emanuel said earlier this month at a summit of police officials and politicians in Washington. In explaining a recent uptick in violent crime, the Chicago mayor said cops have gotten “fetal.” He added, “They have pulled back from the ability to

interdict … they don’t want to be a news story themselves, they don’t want their career ended early and it’s having an impact.”

No, he is not known to have been drunk. And for the record, police chiefs and elected officials from other cities reportedly seconded his remarks. They are calling it the YouTube effect.

In response, a few things must be said.

One: Had it been Emanuel’s intention to make police seem petulant, pouty and entitled, he could hardly have chosen more effective language. Small wonder a police union official promptly denied that officers have returned to the womb or are otherwise giving less than their best effort.

Two: Emanuel’s city was a killing field long before the recent spate of viral video embarrassments. Exactly how long have his officers been “fetal”? And what did he blame before he blamed YouTube?

Three: There is a virtually foolproof strategy for police to avoid Internet mortification. Three syllables: Do your job. Then there’ll be no YouTube videos to worry about.

It is disappointing to see

President Obama’s former chief of staff join the ranks of those who insist we must treat police like hothouse flowers or Faberge eggs. First, we are told we may not criticize bad cops because that means we hate all cops. Now, apparently, we may not criticize them because doing so hurts their feelings.

Look: It is important to be concerned about police morale. But what about the morale of Eric Garner’s family?

Or Walter Scott’s? Or Freddie Gray’s? Or Tamir Rice’s?

What about the morale of all the families who daily send sons — and daughters — into unforgiving streets, honestly unsure if the police — their police — will be friends or foes? Is it OK if we spare some concern for them, too?

This is about accountability, something that has been absent from police interactions with the public for far too long. And where there is no accountability, justice is tenuous. The plain truth is, cameras are here to stay; this genie will not go back in the bottle. Police will not stop the watchers from watching.

But a smart cop will make sure there’s nothing to see.

Fire CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

you away in an ambulance might be fighting a house fire on the next call.

Back in 1947, things were tough — especially for new firefighters, Brubaker recalled. When he first started on the department, he couldn’t understand how the maskless senior firefighters could rush into a burning building without being overcome by the smoke and heat. Brubaker recalled with humor the fire chief — who at that time was Chief Paul Ingles — would give the youngsters tips, but “the guys” wouldn’t.

“They would keep their nose next to that water hose. The water would give off oxygen,” Brubaker said. “I was 10 feet behind them, and I’d get nothing but smoke. I’d be choking to death to catch up with them.”

He didn’t stay the new guy forever, working his way up to captain before retiring in 1973. Since then, many have joined, climbed the ranks and retired after him.

“They fight fires now in all different ways than we did,” Brubaker said. “But a fire’s a fire; it doesn’t matter how you fight it as long as you get them out.”

The early days Brubaker isn’t the first firefighter to say after the end of his career that the “new guys” have it easier.

Looking through newspaper archives, many a former chief interviewed said their generation of firefighters had it tougher than those after.

In a 1953 Journal-World article that ran just before former chief Ingles’ retirement, Ingles said, “Here’s a scene that’s changed a little during the past 40 years.”

Reporter Rich Clarkson called Ingles’ quote the “understatement of the day.”

In the article, Ingles recalled the days of horsedrawn fire wagons and an alarm bell atop the fire station to summon firefighters to the station. When Ingles started his career in 1912, the department wasn’t even a “department” yet. It would not change from a volunteer organization to a paid municipal fire department until 1915.

And 21 years before Ingles’ departure, former chief William Reinisch ended his career, remarking in an article that the “youngsters” of 1932 “who fight fires now do not realize what it meant in the old days.”

“We had no warm clothing, no rubber suits to keep us dry and no equipment with which to do much,” Reinisch said. “If we got a hot one it meant getting soaked to the skin and staying with it, winter or summer.”

“I guess some of that is showing up now that I’m getting old,” Reinisch said after his 38-year career as a Lawrence firefighter.

LAWRENCE

.

Notable fires in Lawrence history Oct. 7, 2005, Boardwalk fire: Three people — Yolanda Riddle, Jose Gonzalez and Nicole Bingham — died and 20 were injured in an early morning blaze at Boardwalk Apartments, 524 Fireside Drive. Many had broken bones from escaping through secondand third-story windows as they fled the flames that destroyed the 76-unit apartment building. Investigators would later learn 20-year-old Jason Allen Rose set the fire, and he was convicted in 2007 of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated arson and seven counts of aggravated battery in connection with the case. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but was released in 2014 because of timeserved credit he earned in jail before his conviction.

April 20, 1970, Kansas University Union fire: A still-unidentified arsonist set fire to the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd., amid unrest and a tumultuous year of violent protests against inequalities, war, the draft and the establishment. Firefighters responded as flames burst through the roof. Fire department records indicate all personnel — even those who were off-duty — were called to help and “the maximum amount of water” was placed on the fire. The fire took 12 hours to extinguish and caused more than $1 million in damages.

July 17, 1986, Rimrock Drive fatal fire: David Winebrenner, 21 at the time, set fire to his parents’ home at 3028 Rimrock Drive while they were sleeping inside because he was angry about not being able to drive the family’s new truck.

The Winebrenners escaped from the home unharmed, but a roof beam collapsed and killed 34-year-old firefighter Mark Blair while he was inside searching for other occupants. Winebrenner spent nearly 22 years in prison for Blair’s death before his release in 2009. Blair was the first — and only — Lawrence firefighter to die in the line of duty.

Sept. 17, 2006, New Jersey Street fatal fire: An early morning fire killed Charles Glover Sr., 66, and his grandchildren, Nolan Vender, 13, DaVonte Brockman, 11, Mario Johnson, 2, and Mariyana Johnson, 1. Glover’s wife, Learlean, survived the fire. The house was entirely destroyed. Fire investigators were never able to determine the fire’s cause, but said there were no indications of any criminal activity. City Hall at the time released an announcement that said, “The heavy damage to the structure, as well as the absence of witnesses, contributed to the inability to identify electrical or human factor as the cause.”

Jan. 14, 1922, barbershop fire: Lawrence firefighters were alerted to a fire in the basement of a barbershop

L awrence J ournal -W orld

at 921 Massachusetts Street at 7:40 p.m. Jan. 14, 1922. But before firefighters could get the flames under control, the fire had spread and affected the following neighboring downtown businesses: Bell’s Music Store, Stoffer Drugs, Ward’s Flower Shop, Welch and Welch Chiropractors, Doctor Tibbers’, Vogt’s, Doctor Gifford’s, Mrs. Wagghan’s shop and the Bittie Farm Association. Damages were estimated at $62,000.

Aug. 24, 1954 Sterling building fire: A fire tore through the second-story storage area of the former Sterling Furniture Co. at 938 Massachusetts St. Several firefighters were overcome by the extensive flames and smoke and one collapsed after fighting the blaze, according to a Journal-World article. Luckily, the firefighters were OK after some rest, and no one suffered any serious injuries. Damages were estimated at $50,000.

March 1955 Patee Theater fire: The alleyway between the Antique Mall and Dutch Boy Paints in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street was once home to the Patee movie theater.

But in March 1955, a fire broke out, destroying the theater “considered the first-ever theater to operate west of the Mississippi River,” according to a Journal-World article from the time. Although no one was injured, a section of the balcony dropped onto the seats below and all available firemen were called to keep the fire from

New world, different problems Now, firefighters not only wear masks but also thermal-lined, thick rubber boots (in Brubaker’s day, their rubber boots were no more than your typical rain boot).

Firefighters today also wear heavy, thermal garments with layers of fireand chemical-resistant fabric, all of which are fit to each firefighter so that there are no gaps of skin showing when worn, current LDCFM fire chief Mark Bradford said.

Brubaker, meanwhile, said his firefighting getup consisted of blue jeans and a raincoat.

Even the helmets are different, as modern helmets are constructed similar to football helmets, Bradford said, with the crown specially designed to protect the head from impact. In Brubaker’s day, helmets were like hardhats, as Bradford said they were essentially a “pressed-out piece of plastic.” Plus, each firefighter wears a mask that feeds compressed air to their lungs, even in the midst of thick, black smoke.

The biggest change, Bradford said, is the influence of technology.

Firefighters now have access to computers with important information in emergencies, including GPS, floor plans of more than 500 Lawrence

buildings, hazards in those buildings and even how much water is left in hydrants close to the fire at hand. This information lets firefighters save valuable time and create strategies when they see what they’re up against.

But it’s not just the firefighting that’s changed, Bradford said, it’s also the fires themselves. Previously, homes, furniture and other items were made with predominantly metal, wood and other natural products. Now, there are more plastics, composites and other materials that not only produce hazardous chemicals, but also burn hotter and faster, Bradford said.

“There are hotter temperatures inside as plastics melt and materials burn,” Bradford said.

“Hence, we have to have coats and helmets because it used to be not near as hot as it is today.”

The byproducts of those artificial materials are also dangerous to inhale, causing cancer rates of firefighters to increase nationwide over the years.

“Think of a campfire; you can breathe some of that smoke,” Bradford said. “But the smoke that comes off houses now is combined with all of these chemical gasses that change composition when heated.”

What hasn’t wavered over LDCFM’s 100-year history are the basic qualifications a firefighter must have, according to Ingles, as he laid out in a 1952 Journal-World article: “A good heart and a good pair of legs … but the first qualification is complete honesty.”

spreading to neighboring businesses.

Loss was estimated at $60,000.

Sept. 10, 1955, Plymouth Congregational fire: In the early morning hours of Sept. 10, 1955, a fire tore through the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Each of the 25 men on the Lawrence Fire Department were called to battle the blaze, and it took about two and a half hours to extinguish. Afterward, the firefighters were required to get tetanus shots because they’d received many scratches and scrapes during the incident. Damages were estimated at more than $100,000.

Oct. 7, 1967, Popcorn plant fire: Firefighters spent more than seven hours fighting a fire at TNT Product Inc., a popcorn plant that held at least a million pounds of unpackaged popcorn in the building’s second floor. The building, originally home to the Barteldes Seed Co. in 1867, was completely destroyed in the fire.

Damages were estimated at more than $250,000.

Oct. 5, 1953, Higgins house fatal fire: An oil stove inside a home at Seventh and Grant streets in North Lawrence caused the residence to catch fire just before 7:30 a.m. Oct. 5, 1953. When the fire department arrived, the home was “totally engulfed in flames,” according to fire department records.

A woman identified as Charles John Higgins’ wife died in the fire.

Cities pull back on filling the boot

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

TROPICAL DEPRESSION PATRICIA

With roadside firefighter drives, it’s now safety first Tara Golshan USA TODAY

At least seven U.S. cities and counties have stopped firefighters from collecting charitable donations at busy intersections, citing safety concerns.

For nearly 61 years, career and volunteer firefighters around the country have participated in “Fill the Boot,” raising money, while on duty and in their firefighting gear, by asking passing motorists and pedestrians to contribute to various charities. More than 100,000 firefighters raise about $25 million a year for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, for example.

But traffic and safety concerns, including the death of a firefighter in Michigan, have spurred cities to re-evaluate or halt such fundraising methods. uIn August, citing concerns about firefighter safety, the city of Marshfield, Wis., rejected their fire department’s permit request to fundraise on the streets. uCharleston, S.C., began enforcing a ban on passing items to and from motor vehicles in late September. uOklahoma City and other municipalities are weighing whether to ban firefighters’ roadside donation drives. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Two Union Pacific crewmembers were rescued after their freight train derailed in floodwaters north of Corsicana, Texas.

HURRICANE REMNANTS ARE NEW TEXAS THREAT

Already inundated state prepares for arrival of more rain Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

U

p to a foot and a half of rain pounded Texas on Saturday, raising fears of widespread flooding to the rain-soaked state even as the remnants of record-setting Hurricane Patricia were bearing down from Mexico.

While the band of storms created by a stalled cold front in north and central Texas were expected to ease late Saturday, a new storm generated by what’s left of Patricia in the Gulf of Mexico will begin dumping up to 6 inches of rain in eastern Texas.

Still, rains that have hammered north and central Texas wreaked havoc Friday and Saturday. A homeless man was reported swept into a drainage ditch by floodwaters in San Antonio sometime early Saturday while trying to rescue a dog, according to KENS-TV. Elsewhere, a Union Pacific freight train was partially submerged north of Corsicana on Saturday morning after apparently being swept off the rails by floodwaters, WFAA-TV reported.

The incident happened on a trestle near Interstate 45 and Highway 287, about 60 miles south of Dallas. Two crewmembers aboard the train were brought to safety by a Navarro County swift water rescue team.

More than 18 inches of rain closed Interstate 45 near Corsicana, 50 miles south of Dallas, on Friday, leaving a 12-mile traffic jam. Officials had been urging residents to simply pull off the highway, find a parking lot and

spend the night in their vehicles.

Accuweather senior meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said the storms were expected to move east into Louisiana on Sunday.

The rains in Texas have vanquished a drought that struck the state over the summer. More than half of the state’s 254 counties still had outdoor burn bans in effect Friday, the Texas A&M Forest Service reported.

But now state officials worry about widespread flooding.

Officials in Hidalgo County planned to hand out free sandbags to help residents prepare for the expected deluge there. Heavy rains, gusty winds and tidal rises of up to 5 feet prompted a coastal flood advisory for the upper Texas Gulf Coast, the Associated Press reported.

A homeless man was reported swept into a drainage ditch by floodwaters in San Antonio early Saturday while trying to rescue a dog.

The potential for flooding comes five months after torrential spring storms caused more than 30 deaths. That Memorial Day weekend weather system brought an astonishing amount of rainfall, with some isolated areas receiving more than 20 inches. Homes were damaged or swept away by river water southwest of Austin, about 1,500 homes in the Houston area alone sustained flood damage, and rising waters cut off neighborhoods throughout the state.

Little rain had fallen since.

Fearsome Patricia does little damage once it hits Mexico Rick Jervis and David Agren USA TODAY

GUADALAJARA , MEXICO

Hurricane Patricia, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, degenerated into a low pressure system late Saturday afternoon as it moved north toward Texas, leaving behind less major damage than feared south of the border. No deaths were initially reported as emergency crews made their way into the hardest-hit areas.

This capital of the state of Jalisco — ground zero for Hurricane Patricia’s arrival on shore late Friday — was wet with some debris Saturday morning but mostly unscathed.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center downgraded Patricia to a low pressure system late Saturday afternoon, a stunning transformation from the Category 5 hurricane that roared toward Mexico’s Pacific coast packing sustained winds of 200 mph Friday.

“So far, there are no reports of major damage from Patricia,” Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said in a statement Saturday afternoon.

“Our gratitude to all for your thoughts, prayers and actions.”

The highway between Gua-

dalajara and Manzanillo appeared generally unaffected.

Federal police officers waved motorists through toll stations, which were suspended Saturday to allow residents to return to their coastal homes.

The highway cuts through the Sierra del Tigre mountain range, but there were no signs of major mudslides or bridge damage. Barricades cordoned off small mudslides or pools of water, but mostly the road was open and fast-moving.

Residents here described heavy rain and strong winds Friday night.

In Tlaquepaque, a suburb of Guadalajara popular with tourists and folk artists, shop owners opened their gift stores and fast-food joints early Saturday for business, even as large dark clouds roamed overhead.

Sofia Quintero, 23, a manager at a shop selling candies and tequila, said Friday night’s winds were stronger than usual, but the storm wasn’t nearly as bad as predicted. Her power and Internet never went out.

“Strong winds and a lot of water,” Quintero said. “But like they said it would be? No.” Agren reported from Monterrey, Mexico. Contributing: Alan Gomez in Miami; Doug Stanglin in Virginia.

Sunday’s elections in Ukraine mark a turning point Local authorities will get more power Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Whether voters elect a new wave of leaders bent on reform or turn to ultra-nationalist or proRussian parties vying to capitalize on Ukrainians’ frustration with a dismal economy, local leaders will soon have more power than ever before.

Sunday’s local elections in Ukraine will likely be a turning point in the nation’s struggle to break

free of the corruption that prompted the 2014 ouster of a Russian-backed president and the beginning of a war fueled by Russian-backed separatists.

Decentralization in the central government is pushing decisionmaking and budgetary authority down from the capital in Kiev to municipal bodies. Soon, local authorities will be able to dismantle the web of regulations that choke off economic growth and promote corruption — or to block anti-corruption efforts and deal with the consequences later.

If voters bring more reformers into office, “I hope that will be a sign the country is moving in the

right direction,” said Andriy Kurochka, a fundraiser for the Ukrainian Catholic University who discussed the elections during a visit to Washington. with a group of Ukrainian business leaders.

The way Ukrainians rallied around their armed forces against Russian-backed separatists gave Kurochka hope for the future.

“Ukraine will continue united, or it will not exist,” he said.

He and others in his group from Lviv said new blood is needed to bring about the change that the country demanded when it threw out former president Viktor Yanukovych and his pro-Russian Party of Regions.

Polls show Ukrainians are dissatisfied with national leaders but engaged politically. Turnout Sunday was likely to be 75%.

Accidents, alleged murder of firefighter force scrutiny v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Tragedy struck in early September when a driver allegedly intentionally hit and killed Michigan firefighter Dennis Rodeman, 35, during his “Fill the Boot” shift. The driver has since been charged with murder.

“That was just an incident that none of us could have predicted,” MDA spokeswoman Roxan Olivas said. “It certainly wasn’t an accident and that was what was so hard about it.”

A USA TODAY review of federal fatality records indicates Rodeman’s case may be the only instance in which a firefighter has died during a fire departmentsponsored roadside fundraiser in the past five years.

But firefighters’ stories of close calls and accidents speak to the risks of stepping into traffic.

In March, a Ladson, S.C., firefighter collecting money for the Carolina Children’s Charity was hit and sent to the hospital with head injuries. In 2012, Haughton, La., firefighter Sean Stewart was seriously injured while collecting for the Muscular Dystrophy Association when a driver hit him in the back.

“We’ve had some minor stuff,” said Roger Lopez, coordinator of the International Association of Fire Fighters National MDA drive. “But out of the thousands of the Fill the Boot drives it is very minimal.”

These accidents are often underrepresented in the National Fire Incident Reporting System records because they are not injuries occurring in response to an incident, said Brad Pabody, chief of the National Fire Data Center.

Even without concrete numbers, in the past 10 years a mishmash of solicitation bans and panhandling bans have created new barriers for firefighters raising money on the road.

Nearly half of all traffic accidents in Oklahoma City in the past five years happened at intersections, according to Oklahoma City police spokesman Capt. Paco Balderrama. However, no firefighters have been injured.

The roadside “Fill the Boot” events are some fire departments’ most lucrative fundraising campaigns.

This year, fire departments in Fairfax County, Va., alone raised $615,945.44 for efforts to cure Muscular Dystrophy.

A review of donations shows that busy intersections bring in more donations than busy super-

market parking lots.

In 2009, St. Andrews Fire Department in Charleston, S.C., moved their teams off the roads, which led to more than a 50% decline in contributions, St. Andrews Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Ken Fischer said.

This year Marshfield, Wis., a city of about 19,000, raised about $1,500 at a grocery store. But in 2014, Rhinelander, Wis., a city of 7,500 people, raised more than $12,000 roadside.

Organizers say safety is their primary priority.

“These are trained public safety officers,” Olivas said. “They are trained to handle difficult situations. Safety is absolutely a priority in what they do and with what they do for us.”

Make A Difference Day, in its 24th year, helps feed, clothe and comfort untold thousands

From refurbishing local parks to chipping in on yardwork for families hit by cancer, tens of thousands of people across the country took part in a nationwide day of community volunteerism Saturday.

Make A Difference Day is an annual event of community service sponsored by USA TODAY and its parent company, Gannett.

Other sponsors include the volunteer organization Points of Light, and Newman’s Own, the philanthropic food company founded by actor Paul Newman and author A.E. Hotchner.

Projects across the country took place with help from $400,000 in grants from the Gannett Foundation, $170,000 in community grants from TEGNA Foundation and $130,000 in grants from Newman’s Own. There were 702 projects with roughly 25,000 volunteers.

In Appleton, Wis., Gannett employees from 10 sites did yardwork and light household projects for families with children battling cancer, to aid Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer. On the U.S. territory of Guam, volunteers took part in a toy drive. In Monroe, La., volunteers delivered meals to seniors for the local Meals on Wheels program.

“Make A Difference Day is an opportunity for Americans to come together for the sole purpose of making their communities stronger by giving back,” said Bob Dickey, Gannett’s president and chief executive officer. “Gannett is built on serving our local communities and empowering people to create positive change.

With Make A Difference Day, we are inspired and gratified to see the communities and participants around the country who come together to make a positive impact for so many people and causes each year.”

“Newman’s Own is all about supporting people doing great things,” said David Best, the food company’s president and CEO. Make A Difference Day is in its

El Niño blamed for wild Pacific storms Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Hurricane Patricia’s rampage into Mexico was part of the Pacific Ocean’s hyperactive hurricane season of 2015, one that’s been supercharged by weather troublemaker El Niño.

So far this season, eight hurricanes of Category 4 or 5 strength (at least 130 mph) have formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which is an all-time record, according to hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach of Colorado State University.

Patricia set several weather records, including strongest hurricane winds (200 mph), strongest Pacific hurricane at landfall (165 mph) and fastest to intensify from a tropical storm to Category 4 hurricane.

In the central Pacific, a record 14 named tropical storms or hurricanes have spun through the region this season. Fortunately, as is the case with most Pacific hurricanes, few have hit land.

El Niño, a natural warming of tropical Pacific Ocean waters, has provided fuel for the storms, which usually need warm water of at least 80 degrees to form.

Salyer, the Oklahoma City councilwoman, said she wants to be clear: Regardless of who is on the median, intersections are not safe.

“If the Girl Scouts chose using medians as their business model to sell cookies, the community would likely be in an uproar,” Salyer said. “This is a dangerous place people are doing business.”

Nonetheless, the tradition has remained strong in many parts of the country.

“Taking this away is going to hurt (MDA),” Lopez said. “We are their No. 1 sponsor hands down and if all the cities say you can’t do this then it will hurt them.”

But just as the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon came and went, “times change,” Salyer said.

A woman who police said was driving drunk crashed into the Oklahoma State Homecoming parade Saturday morning, killing 4 people and injuring 44 others.

Adacia Chambers, 25, was arrested and detained on suspicion of driving under the influence, Stillwater police Capt. Kyle Gibbs said. Police didn’t immediately release any details about the three people killed in the crash, which happened around 10:30 a.m. ET. The homecoming game against Kansas started as scheduled, players bowing their heads in prayer as the American flag fluttered at half-staff in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Paramedics and firefighters participating in the parade were able to assist the injured immediately, authorities said.

The Oklahoma University Medical Center said one victim was a 2-year-old boy who died Saturday evening.

“Tragically, we lost three. I hope we don’t lose any more,” said the university’s president, Burns Hargis, before the fourth fatality. “The Cowboy family pulls together.”

Gibbs declined to discuss the evidence against Chambers and asked witnesses with photos and videos to contact investigators.

The car was not part of the parade, according to police. Gibbs said Chambers drove her silver Hyundai Elantra sedan through several barriers and hit a parked police motorcycle before careening into the crowd.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION PATRICIA

A record for the region: 8 powerful hurricanes — so far

Ocean temperatures near Hawaii are at record highs, Klotzbach said. El Niño also reduces the winds that tend to tear hurricanes and typhoons apart.

Other than Hurricane Joaquin, the Atlantic hurricane season has been mostly a dud, as predicted and as is typical during El Niño.

Only three hurricanes have formed, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As for global warming, would warmer oceans mean that stronger, more frequent hurricanes like Patricia are possible? The jury is still out on that one: “It is premature to conclude that human activities — and particularly the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming — have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity,” according to NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. (Tropical cyclones are all tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons.)

However, looking ahead, the laboratory said that “warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones globally to be more intense on average.”

Scientists are always clear to point out that no one storm can be blamed on or caused by manmade climate change. Patricia, like all weather events, was due to many causes, such as El Niño.

Employees from Gannett headquarters in McLean, Va., put together 7,200 weekend food packs for needy elementary school children to assist Food for Others, a food bank that serves Fairfax County, Va. The children served often do not otherwise have access to adequate meals on the weekends.

In Auburn, Wash., volunteers worked at Seattle Tilth Farm Works, a program that helps about 20 refugee immigrants each year learn organic farming and small-business management.

The program helps refugees stay afloat, Mohamad Aden Juma, a Somali refugee, told King 5 TV. “For my children — clothes for school and everything,” he said.

Bush making campaign ‘adjustment’ Refocuses efforts on early-voting states after trimming staff

It was a week that’s likely to be pivotal in shaping the 2016 presidential race, as Vice President Biden passed on a run, and Hillary Clinton testified before the House Benghazi panel. More news from the world of politics: 43 IS NOT A TED CRUZ FAN They may share a home state, but George W. Bush reportedly isn’t an admirer of Texas’ junior senator.

According to Politico, Bush, speaking to a group of donors recently, said of Cruz: “I just don’t like the guy.”

Cruz, who worked on Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, didn’t seem to take it hard, attributing the critique to the fact he’s running against the former president’s brother, Jeb, for the GOP presidential nomination.

CHARLESTON, S . C. Jeb Bush says he’s not reducing his presidential campaign, he is simply refocusing it with an eye toward the early caucus and primary states.

“We’ve made an adjustment in our campaign,” Bush said Saturday before conducting a town hall in the pivotal state of South Carolina. “That’s what leaders do.”

Stumping in the Palmetto State a day after his campaign announced staff reductions and pay cuts, Bush dismissed critics who said the changes reflect a struggling campaign that is losing ground to any number of rivals.

“Blah, blah, blah,” Bush said.

Vice President Biden with President Obama: It’s too late.

2016 FIELD REACTS ON BIDEN Biden’s decision to to sit out the 2016 presidential race elicited a range of reactions from White House hopefuls.

Hillary Clinton called Biden “a good man and a great vice president” who “helped save the auto industry and pull our economy back from the brink of depression.”

Some Republicans used the moment to take swipes at Clinton.

Donald Trump tweeted that he “would rather run against Hillary because her record is so bad.”

STARS COME OUT FOR CLINTON New reports show that Clinton banked donations in the most recent quarter from such Hollywood stars as Matt Damon, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

Republicans nabbed a few famous donors, too. Bush received $2,700 from country USA TODAY singer Toby Matt Damon Keith, while singer and producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds gave to Marco Rubio.

DEBATE LINEUP ANNOUNCED The GOP presidential field gathers Wednesday in Boulder, Colo., for its third debate. Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Bush, Rubio, Cruz, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Chris Christie and Rand Paul will be on the main stage in prime time.

Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki and Lindsey Graham qualified for the prelminary debate at 6 p.m. ET. The only real change? The absence of Scott Walker, who has left the race.

WASHINGTON Iowa and New Hampshire voters, prepare to hear even more from Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The underdog candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, armed with more than $30 million, has hired a pollster and will start running ads in the two states early next month.

After proving he can draw crowds in the thousands, Sanders is moving toward the “persuasion” phase of his candidacy. He’ll hold smaller events in the two early-voting states, in addition to his mega-rallies, so he can take questions from undecided voters, according to Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior media strategist.

Vice President Biden’s decision to opt out of the 2016 campaign helps solidify Sanders’ position as the Democratic Party’s alternative to front-runner Hillary Clinton. But Devine said that doesn’t impact Sanders’ strategy.

“From the beginning, this campaign really has not been about opponents, it’s been about Bernie and his message,” Devine said.

“We’re not going to deviate from that strategic course.”

It’s unclear how a Biden bid would have affected Sanders’ chances, but national polls suggest the vice president’s absence could make Sanders’ path toward the nomination even more challenging. Four polls taken since the first Democratic debate on Oct. 13 showed Clinton’s lead over Sanders jumped from an average of 23.5 percentage points to an average of 30 when Biden was excluded as an option.

“Now she is the formidable front-runner again,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute in New Jersey. “It doesn’t look like (Sanders) can make this up. Even if he pulls off a win in New Hampshire, the problem is he doesn’t have the blue-collar

James Campbell, a political science professor at the University at Buffalo, said Biden’s decision helps Clinton. He said the opposition Clinton faces from Sanders was a secondary concern compared with the significance of her performance Thursday testifying before the House committee on Benghazi, and the controversy over her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

Now “most likely the only way she is not getting that nomination would be a self-destruction,” he said in a statement.

Devine disagreed, saying Sanders’ path is clearer because Biden cited priorities in his Wednesday announcement that are similar to Sanders’, such as the need for

campaign finance reform and to end income inequality.

“Now we don’t have someone competing that directly with us on that message terrain,” Devine said.

Sanders has begun to show his lighter side, dancing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and joking about comedian Larry David’s portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live.

David bragged, in Sanders’ characteristic shout, that he had only one clean pair of underwear, prompting Sanders to assure reporters in Iowa he has “an ample supply of underwear.”

Part of Sanders’ strategy is to begin speaking more substantively on issues, including what it means to be a democratic socialist, the term he uses to describe his politics. He plans to offer more specifics about his economic plan, including his ideas for

taxes and generating revenue.

Another topic: how he’d handle being commander in chief.

The campaign has continued to draw significant small contributions, according to Devine. Between Sept. 28 and Oct. 15, it raised $6.7 million in contributions of less than $200. That has allowed the campaign to continue to hire staff, open field offices and conduct research to begin advertising. The campaign hired pollster Ben Tulchin, who previously worked for former Democratic National Committee chairman and former presidential candidate Howard Dean, Devine said.

“It shows that the debate was a hell of a good night,” Devine said.

“But it also shows that we’re building a campaign structure that is going to allow us to compete for resources all the way through this election.”

Recent criticism and scrutiny of police departments and viral videos of officer-involved killings might explain the rise in violent crime in some cities, FBI Director James Comey said Friday.

Comey made the remarks in a speech at the University of Chicago Law School, lending the prestige of the FBI to a theory that is far from settled: that the increased attention on the police has made officers less aggressive and emboldened criminals, according to The New York Times.

The paper added that Comey acknowledged that there is so far no data to back up his assertion and that it may be just one of many factors that are contributing to the rise in crime, like cheaper drugs and an increase in criminals being released from prison.

Japan braces for ‘yakuza’ gang violence In largely gun-free nation, division threatens reprise of 1980s mob war Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

Japan is bracing for war.

Not with other countries, but with the nation’s notorious gangsters.

A 43-year-old man was gunned down in the parking lot of a hot springs resort in western Japan earlier this month in what authorities say they fear could be the start of a deadly war among the nation’s largest organized crime gangs, known collectively as the yakuza.

The powerful Yamaguchi-gumi crime syndicate, which marked its 100th anniversary this year, split into two rival groups in September. Police arrested a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi in the hot springs shooting and identified the victim as a member of the breakaway group.

Analysts said the rupture was due to long-running disputes over succession plans and high fees that member groups were required to pay Yamaguchi-gumi leaders.

Japan’s National Police Agency warned of possible gang violence at an emergency meeting of senior officials from each of the country’s 47 prefectures shortly after the split. “We don’t have specific information thus far that the rift will develop into inter-gang conflicts, but there were incidents in the past which involved civilians,” Takashi Kinoshita, chief of the JNPAs organized crime division, said at the meeting in early September, according to local media.

A dispute over the gang’s leadership in the early 1980s led to a two-year war that left an estimated 30 gangsters dead, 70 others wounded and more than 500 in police custody. However, there are no statistics on the number of civilians killed or injured in the violence.

Local news media report that yakuza groups are beginning to stockpile weapons and recruit members to carry out potential hits. The price of a handgun sold on the black market has risen from $2,500 to $10,000 in recent weeks, according to Asahi Shimbun, a leading mainstream newspaper.

Riot police stand guard outside the headquarters of one of Japan’s largest yakuza crime syndicates, the Yamaken-gumi, during a Sept. 9 police raid on the building in Kobe.

“The general public is no longer tolerant of yakuza conflict.

It’s costly to kill people.”

Jake Adelstein, Toyko journalist and authority on organized crime

roughly 127 million people, Japan had just 35 cases of firearm shootings in 2010, according to the most recent data available from the National Police Agency’s “Crime in Japan” report.

Last month, in the western Japanese city of Toyama, one yakuza group paraded as many as 100 gangsters down a busy street in a show of strength. Two nights later, a rival group did the same nearby, Kyodo News Service reported. Authorities responded by sending scores of police to raid each group’s headquarters, according to Kyodo.

Police estimate that Yamaguchi-gumi had about 10,000 core members and about 14,000 affiliated members before the split.

About one-third are believed to have broken off to form a rival organization, called the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi.

Atsushi Mizoguchi, a journalist and author who has written extensively on the yakuza, said it is unlikely that senior leaders would

order a full-on war. But he said at least some violence is likely as rival groups fight for turf.

“If organized criminals were able to establish viable revenues by invading the domain of others … it could lead to skirmishes in various places around the country. That could expand and eventually could well lead to a (violent) struggle,” Mizoguchi said at a Tokyo press briefing last week.

Jake Adelstein, a Tokyo journalist and authority on organized crime, is less sure. He points to the case of Tadamasa Goto, a yakuza boss who was ordered to pay $1.2 million in damages to the family of a real estate agent murdered by members of his gang in 2012. Although Goto was not charged in the death, he was still held liable.

“The situation is very different from what it was in the ’80s,” Adelstein said. “It’s not economically wise to have a gang war. The general public is no longer toler-

ant of yakuza conflict. It’s costly to kill people.”

Yakuza gangs, long tolerated as a “necessary evil” in Japan, have been in slow decline since orga-

nized crime countermeasures were enacted in the early 1990s.

Many gangs still operate semiopenly, however, with headquarters, business cards and legitimate-appearing front companies.

Yakuza engage in a variety of “serious criminal activities, including weapons trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, fraud and money laundering,” according to a February 2012 report from the U.S. Treasury Department. Extortion, loan-sharking and “protection” rackets also are common yakuza activities in Japan.

President Obama issued an executive order in 2011 designating the yakuza as a “transnational criminal organization.”

The Treasury Department has since frozen assets in the U.S. of more than a dozen yakuza bosses — including the leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi and another breakaway faction, the Kodo-kai gang — and has forbidden Americans from doing business with them.

In a report issued in April, the Treasury Department labeled the Kodo-kai “the most violent faction within the Yamaguchi-gumi” and said the yakuza has engaged in drug trafficking and money laundering in the United States, but did not provide details. There is no indication that any yakuza violence as a result of the recent split could spread to the U.S.

Barbie as the Virgin Mary doesn’t play well Argentine artwork, which also depicts Ken doll as Jesus, is unpopular with Catholics Kamilia Lahrichi

Special for USA TODAY

An artistic showcase featuring 33 Barbie and Ken dolls as religious figures — including a crucified Jesus Christ and a Virgin Mary — is sparking controversy in this Argentine capital and worldwide a year after the same event was canceled over death and other threats.

The exhibit, “Barbie, The Plastic Religion,” has infuriated religious organizations globally, especially Catholic ones in Buenos Aires, Pope Francis’ birthplace.

“Barbie and Ken have offered for decades a model of a couple that attracts children of every age to play with them and identify with them,” said Adrian Santarelli, a priest at St. Thomas More parish in Buenos Aires. “The idea of dressing (dolls) with sacred images of sacred persons alters and damages the child’s levels of understanding of the sacred.”

“Could we consider normal that a child prays to Barbie?” he added.

Artists Marianela Perelli and Emiliano Paolini said the exhibit, on display through Nov. 20 at the BUENOS AIRES

POPA art gallery in Buenos Aires, is purely artwork and was not meant to offend. “It was simply the union of the two most popular elements of history: the Barbie doll and religion,” Paolini said.

Among others, Barbie is depicted as Joan of Arc, Virgin of Guadalupe — Mexico’s patron saint — and Mary Magdalene, with a low-cut dress that shows her chest. Ken is shown as Buddha and Moses. The art collection also showcases Jewish and pagan mythical figures, but avoids dolls representing Muslim figures, such as the prophet Mohammed, because depiction of them is prohibited in Islam.

About 400 people are expected to visit the gallery while the exhibit is on display, organizers said. Police were on hand Saturday for the unveiling of the dolls and will remain present throughout the exhibit.

The exhibit was canceled last year after a series of threats to the artwork and the artists, as well as religious and conservative groups that called the display offensive. So far this year there have not been any threats.

“I think that our work was misinterpreted, and (people opted for) a defensive position on an artwork that was not believed to be offensive, but it seemed that it was hiding something terrible, suspicious,” Perelli said.

“I think that Barbie has a bad reputation but the reality is that she’s the most widely sold doll to children so why do people think she’s like a prostitute?” Perelli added.

Still, the unorthodox artwork has angered other religious denominations as well, including Hindus for its depiction of the goddess Kali. Rajan Zed, a Hindu cleric living in Nevada called the “Barbie-fication of Kali … simply improper, wrong and out of place.”

Not everyone agrees with that view.

“We can’t be stuck in the past with our traditions,” said Elina Aguilar, a retired woman attending the display’s opening. “It doesn’t outrage me.”

Hugo Fryszberg, 55, an employee of the Buenos Aires government, pointed out dolls have been sold of other religious figures without issue: “It shouldn’t offend Catholics ... as there were dolls of Pope Francis that were sold in the U.S. during his visit with a clear commercial end.”

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE FOGLE’S FINANCIAL FALLOUT uIn a nutshell: Jared Fogle, the former Subway restaurant pitchman, has paid out a total of $1 million in restitution to 10 of his 14 victims, writes our Christopher Doering. uThe lowdown: Fogle, who has agreed to plead guilty to child pornography charges and having sex with minors, has paid $100,000 to each of the 10 victims.

Prosecutors expect the remaining four individuals to receive similar payments before Fogle is sentenced on Nov. 19. uThe back story: Fogle, a 38-year-old father of two, rose to national prominence when the Subway chain discovered he lost more than 200 pounds by eating their sandwiches and exercising.

The restaurant giant featured him in their ads starting in 2000 and he continued working for the chain until July — the same month when authorities raided his Indianapolis home.

A charitable zeal grips tech billionaires After all, ‘nobody wants to be a jerk,’ despite stereotypes Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Shortly after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited San Quentin State Prison to speak out about overcrowded prisons this month, word quickly spread that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was donating a sizable amount of the riches expected from the forthcoming IPO of Square, his other company, to underserved communities.

In an industry often derided for its selfish, self-aggrandizing behavior, the good works of Zuck and Jack were heartening, though not entirely surprising.

HBO’s hit sitcom Silicon Valley aside, the Valley is increasingly putting its money where its heart is.

“The story is that not just the big guys are giving,” says Alison Murdock, who has done philanthropic work in the region for years. “There has been a backlash against Silicon Valley, and nobody wants to be a jerk.”

founder Pierre Omidyar.

The intersection of tech and philanthropy — some call it “philanthrocapitalism” — is epitomized by e-commerce site YouGiveGoods, which lets people “e-give” tangible goods to causes and start charity drives of their own.

Company CEO Lisa Tomasi, who created the site, has worked

with the NFL, Morgan Stanley and Verizon to help groups like Toys for Tots and SPCA shelters.

The young turks of tech lead the charge, though they learned plenty from the Hewlett and Packard families, Google, Salesforce and others before them, says Sharon Tanenbaum, a nonprofit consultant in the San Francisco Bay Area.

“San Francisco, by far, is the most generous city in the U.S. per capita,” says Ben Nelson, CEO of Minerva Project, which provides students an Ivy League education for a fraction of the price. “What’s important is for tech millionaires to give as its billionaires have.”

Indeed, not just the megawealthy in tech are giving generously: Increasingly, executives from start-ups are pledging time and money to social causes.

Many have learned from the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, when the tech industry was dinged for a paucity of donations.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett have spearheaded a campaign to get other American billionaires to give at least half their wealth to charity. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest private foundation in the world, with a $41 billion endowment.

“It’s a gold rush (in Silicon Valley),” Nelson says. “People come here to scratch lottery tickets. A culture of giving is hard to implement.”

Book exposes zombie side of Freddie and Fannie Kathleen Day

Special for USA TODAY

For real zombies this Halloween, look no further than two financial companies that are among the biggest and surely the most peculiar in the world: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two finance the bulk of U.S. home loans, using money borrowed from around the globe.

That makes them a mainstay of America’s $10 trillion housing market and of the national and world economies. If Fannie and Freddie tank, it could all tank. But whether they should be run wholly as federal agencies — or partially or not at all — has been debated for decades, especially since the Great Recession. The issue’s always half-alive because it’s key to the financial well-being of so many, yet always half-dead because special interests ensure no one has the political stomach or clout to resolve it.

How this policy limbo arose and its danger for taxpayers is the subject of Bethany McLean’s new book, Shaky Ground: The Strange Saga of the U.S. Mortgage Giants.

McLean is best known for her BUSINESS BOOK REVIEW

Bethany McLean

star role in exposing the Enron fraud, which she did by simply asking how Enron made money.

The answer was it didn’t.

As cash cows, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have the opposite problem. Congressionally chartered, shareholder-owned and, since 2008, government-run, they are required to buy and sell residential mortgages in good times and bad. Until the federal

government seized them during the mortgage crisis, Republicans and Democrats for decades cherished their political donations, even as these same elected officials waggled fingers on the need to overhaul them. Seven years after the Bush White House took them over, in theory temporarily, the Obama administration still runs them, using their profits to reduce the deficit. Last week, the White House reiterated it has no plans to release control of the twin companies back to shareholders.

In a short, lucid paperback (or ebook) from a new publishing arm of Columbia University, McLean explains how the topsy-turvy world of Fannie and Freddie came to be and why government control of them likely will limp along indefinitely as the major unresolved issue of the financial crisis. The nation’s Byzantine housing-finance system make the book tough to plow sometimes, but expert and beginner alike can learn much. The history of the two giants could take volumes. McLean has captured most essentials in 150 pages.

The companies supposedly married the free-market discipline of shareholder ownership with a government mission to encourage homeownership. In reality, they wed the worst of each in a system with no checks and balances yet, explicitly or not, unlimited draw on taxpayer funds.

This system gave Americans widespread access to the 30-year fixed-rate mortgages they love, but, as McLean shows, that’s no excuse to embrace the pre-takeover version of Fannie and Freddie or to accept the government-as-caretaker status quo.

The question is whether a different system could — or should — accomplish the same end.

The book deftly chronicles the troubling history of Fannie and Freddie — a jampacked one to be sure — but could have better highlighted what the two got right: setting strong standards for mortgage lending.

But the book expertly summarizes how the government performs the neat trick of taking the companies’ profits without reflecting their liabilities on the U.S. budget. The companies have repaid the U.S. Treasury the $187 billion pumped in during the crisis and now earn taxpayers billions of dollars a year.

Don’t let investment fees suck away your savings An investor with a $500,000 portfolio could wind up paying almost $1 million in fees over 30 years

M

Jeff Reeves l Special for USA TODAY

ost Americans are so focused on getting the biggest profits possible out of their portfolios that they overlook one tiny thing that adds up to an important part of the big picture: Fees.

A recent study by financial services company Personal Capital found typical advisory fees range from 0.82% to 1.53% annually. That might not sound like a lot, but consider that an investor with a $500,000 portfolio could wind up paying almost $1 million in fees over 30 years, according to the study.

“I don’t think people are aware — not the specifics, and certainly not the total when you add all these things up,” says Bill Harris, CEO of Personal Capital.

Investment expenses include everything from trading commissions to advisory charges. Frequently they are “busted up into pieces,” so they are difficult for individual investors to keep track of, Harris says.

Some of the most common charges you may be paying on your own investments include: Expenses are charged every year as a fixed percentage of your investments in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. On the surface they can sound rather modest, such as an “expense ratio” of 0.5%. But on a $100,000 portfolio, that figure equals $500 in fees a year … and if you add that up over 20 or 30 years, these expenses start to amount to serious cash. uEXPENSES.

LOADS.

Some funds also have “loads,” or charges that resemble commissions, on top of annual expenses.

Loads are either paid on the front end when you initially invest or on the back end after you sell your investments. These typically are paid as a fixed percentage of your assets and can be as high as 8.5% under current guidelines. uTRADING COMMISSIONS. Al-

though many brokerages offer a few complimentary trades to new customers to get them started, trading commissions can take a big bite out of investors’ portfolios once those freebies are gone.

For instance, say you purchased $500 worth of stock, but you were charged a $7.50 trading fee to purchase and will incur another $7.50 fee when you sell. That means you’ll need your invest-

ment to rise 3%, or $15, just to cover these fees and break even.

Harris notes that bigtime fees in these areas can be particularly burdensome for younger savers, considering every dollar they’re charged now is a dollar less that they have to invest and grow over time.

“It’s incumbent on the providers of financial services to find other ways to add value to justify their costs to the end investor.”

performance over decades is “not possible,” says Josh Brown, a financial adviser and CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management.

“Even if you pick the best manager possible, you’re still paying more than they are able to deliver in additional upside,” Brown says.

In this environment, it’s not surprising that experts such as Harris and Brown are increasingly recommending low-cost investments like index funds — that is, mutual funds or ETFs that simply track major stock market indexes like the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones industrial average and thus avoid complicated strategies and high management fees.

But not all money managers are gouging clients, and not all active funds are evil, says Denny Baish, senior investment analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group.

“The last six years, if you’ve put it in an index fund, you’ve done very well, and active management has struggled. But these things tend to go in cycles,” Baish says.

“From the mid- to late ’90s, index funds out-performed for the most part, and then in the early 2000s, active managers earned their fees.”

Baish points to the uncertainty right now in the bond market amid talk of higher interest rates as one area of opportunity for ac-

tive managers to “go where the value is” instead of just waiting on the Federal Reserve to act.

“You’ll see active managers earn their keep in this market over the next couple of years,” he says.

Beyond performance, however, there’s also peace of mind that can come from an actual human at the helm instead of just a spreadsheet of stocks.

“We’re here to help them not only in the good times but also when things get choppy and volatile,” Baish says. “We’re here to help you stay the course and meet your personal objectives over time, in any environment, and we earn that fee by being there no matter what.”

THE RISE OF ROBO-ADVISERS

Although Brown insists promises of out-performance are a fantasy, he does think it’s crucial for investors to feel like they are getting something for their fees.

“You can’t eat gross returns, you can only eat net returns,” Brown says. “So it’s incumbent on the providers of financial services to find other ways to add value to justify their costs to the end

“You’ll see active managers earn their keep in this market over the next couple of years.”

investor.”

For instance, Ritholtz Wealth Management offers not just traditional wealth management services, but also a “robo-adviser” service it calls Liftoff that uses algorithms and software to provide investment advice. Robo-advisers aren’t as individualized, Brown says, but lower-net-worth clients typically have straightforward investment needs and don’t need as much guidance.

Liftoff has a minimum investment of $5,000 and a 0.4% annual fee — or $40 a year on every $10,000 you invest — making it a cheap and accessible option to younger investors. Other robo-advisers offer even lower minimums and fees.

For instance, Wealthfront requires $500 to get started, charges nothing to manage your first $10,000 in assets and costs 0.25% in expenses to manage assets in excess of $10,000.

Other firms, such as Betterment, offer no minimum deposit.

Certain clients will always need personalized advice, Brown says, but robo-advisers like these are the future of wealth management.

“Like every other industry in the world, over time the cost for consumers goes down,” Brown says. “Investment management fees will come down on a secular basis for the rest of our lives.”

In the meantime, Harris says, it behooves investors to closely watch the fees they pay under their current model focusing on the lowest-cost options available and guarding against the desire to chase short-term investing fads.

“Move from stock picking or market timing into long-term asset allocation,” Harris says. “Default toward the lower fee, and default toward indexing.”

Where to look to find out how much you’re paying Expense ratios tell a lot, but deciding whether they’re too high is really a judgment call

Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

All Americans want to keep down their investing costs and hang on to more of their money.

But figuring out how much they actually are paying in fees — and, most important, whether it’s too much — can be confusing.

For the typical investor with most of their assets in mutual funds via a 401(k) or IRA, the most important number to check for is the “expense ratio” charged by those funds. The figure is expressed as a percentage of your total assets.

As a practical example, a mutual fund with a 0.7% expense ratio charges investors $70 each year for every $10,000 invested.

“You can find fee information pretty much anywhere you choose to look,” said Charles Sizemore, chief investment officer at Sizemore Capital Management in Dallas. “You can check the fund’s prospectus if you just really like reading legalese,” Sizemore said, however popular finance sites, in-

cluding investment research firm Morningstar and the USA TODAY Portfolio Tracker are more accessible to the casual investor.

The thing to remember, he adds, is that you don’t get a bill for these fund fees; they are “baked in” to your investment’s performance. For instance, if that same mutual fund charging 0.7% each year generates a 10% annual return, it passes 9.3% in gains on to you and takes 0.7% off the top.

Furthermore, “returns lost to fees actually compound over time,” he said, because you lose not just that fixed fee upfront but also potential investment returns that could have been made on that extra cash.

Given all this, it’s crucial for investors to keep an eye on what they are paying and try to keep costs as low as possible.

But what is a reasonable expense ratio to shoulder on your investments? Well, a 2014 report

by Morningstar states the typical mutual fund that focuses on U.S. stocks charged 0.67% in annual expenses; the average among the entire universe of funds with

more sophisticated strategies was 1.25%.

Those are good places to start, Sizemore says, but it’s also important to compare funds to their peers. Depending on the strategy, some funds are naturally more costly or cheap to manage.

“A fee number in a vacuum really doesn’t tell you much. If you’re investing in a strategy that really is different and really adds something to your portfolio, then paying a higher fee shouldn’t be a deal breaker,” he said. A few in-

You don’t get a bill for these fund fees; they are “baked in” to your investment’s performance.

vestment areas that tend to be more sophisticated and charge higher management fees include emerging market investments or unconstrained bond funds, Sizemore said. However, he adds that “if you’re getting a fund that tracks pretty closely to the S&P 500, then it’s hard to justify paying a premium.”

There are also a host of other fees in the investment world, particularly for self-directed investors purchasing individual stocks or funds in a brokerage account, due to additional costs for fund transfers or fees incurred with each trade, all of which can vary greatly. And those using a professional money manager can see a wide range of charges, from flat hourly rates to commissions on certain transactions and annual administrative fees.

But the bottom line, Sizemore says, is to always shop around and find the least expensive way to meet your financial goals.

“When presented with many different ways to do the same thing, always err on the side of lower costs,” Sizemore said.

Arizona prep F Lightfoot taps KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Mitch Lightfoot, who committed to the University of New Mexico his sophomore year of high school, decided to re-open his recruitment last spring after averaging 17.9 points and 9.7 rebounds for statechampion Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High.

Nothing against the Lobos, but the 6-foot-9, 210-pound Lightfoot suddenly realized his continued improvement in basketball had opened up the possibility of fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Greinke trade catalyst for KC Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The groundwork for backto-back World Series runs by the Kansas City Royals began on a cold December day in 2010 when they traded perhaps the game’s best pitcher.

Back then, the Royals were devoid of talent, going nowhere and doing it slowly. So general manager Dayton Moore packed off Zack Greinke to GAME 1 Milwaukee, swap- Who: Mets ping the Cy vs. Royals Young can- When: 7 p.m. didate for a Tuesday quartet of Where: prospects he Kauffman hoped would Stadium help lead a renaissance TV: FOX in Kansas (WOW! channels 4, City.

Two of 204) them were pitchers, Jeremy Jeffress and Jake Odorizzi.

The other two? Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar.

Five years later, both are All-Stars. Cain has grown into a .300 hitter and one of the game’s best center fielders. Escobar has become such a slick-fielding shortstop that the question is not whether he will capture a Gold Glove but how many.

Both of them are MVPs of the AL Championship Series, too. Cain won the award a year ago. Escobar nabbed his Friday night when he helped Kansas City beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in Game 6 to earn the club’s second straight trip to the Fall Classic.

“That’s pretty good,” said Hall of Famer George Brett, now a special assistant in the Royals front office, who has helped tutor both players the past few spring trainings.

Brett was watching from a suite in Kauffman Stadium on Friday night, and someone asked him who he thought would be MVP. Before they even announced his name, Brett replied: “Escobar is going to win. He stood head and shoulders above everybody else.”

Indeed, Escobar set a postseason record by getting a leadoff hit in the first four games of a series. He finished 11-for-23 against the Blue Jays, joining Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox as the only hitters with at least 10 hits and five RBIs from the leadoff spot in LCS history.

“My sights have always been on Kansas,” Lightfoot said Saturday after orally committing to KU in a ceremony at the Arizona Preps Fall Showcase event in Glendale, Arizona.

The rabid KU fan — he was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and lived there until he was 6, when his family headed to Tucson — sought out help in getting noticed by the Jayhawks.

“I met with my coach (after decommitting),” Lightfoot said of Arizona Power AAU coach John Ortega, “and he said, ‘What do you want out of this?’

“I said, ‘I want to play at

Kansas.’ It’s been my goal since I knew what basketball was, ever since then.

I’ve been working my butt off to try to get there. To all the kids sitting in the stands watching the Jayhawks, wanting to be a Jayhawk, you can definitely do it,” Lightfoot, the No. 117-rated player in the recruiting Class of 2016 (by Rivals.com), added.

Ortega said that, after speaking with Lightfoot, he phoned recruiting analyst Jerry Mullen, who contacted KU about Lightfoot’s interest.

“Forty minutes later, I get a call, and coach Roberts (Norm, KU) is asking about

our practice times. They were going to take a private jet to see a workout. That was a Monday. On Wednesday, coach Roberts saw Mitch work out and was blown away by the workout.

Two days later, coach (Bill) Self called to offer him.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PLAYERS AND COACHES LEAVE THE FIELD after a 58-10 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater, Oklahoma. For more pictures, please visit www.kusports.com/kufball102415

Stillwater, Okla. — A wave of emotion leading up to kickoff gave way to a sea of orange jerseys swallowing the Kansas University offense during Oklahoma State’s 58-10 victory Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium.

A few hours after a 25-yearold Stillwater woman drove her car into a crowd of people at a homecoming parade near OSU’s stadium, killing four and injuring a few dozen others, the 14th-ranked Cowboys (7-0 overall, 4-0 Big 12) delivered a much-needed distraction for the home crowd of 59,486 in a dominant win over the overmatched Jayhawks.

Prior to Saturday’s kickoff, there was talk about canceling the game. But OSU officials said they believed the game should be played as scheduled as a way to honor the victims and their families.

“I just want to start by saying how sorry our staff, the Oklahoma State family and our team is about the incident earlier today,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said after the game. “My message to (our team) was that a decision was made to play the game, so we need to play the game.

They must learn via onthe-job training such as Saturday in T. Boone Pickens Stadium, where Oklahoma State overwhelmed Kansas, 58-10.

It was enough to discourage young football players into wondering whether

they ever will become good enough to compete.

KU’s true freshman wide receivers won’t reach those depths of self-doubt, because the player who leads their position won’t let them. Just three years ago, senior Tre’ Parmalee stood where they do now, and he repeatedly lets them know, he didn’t stand as tall.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Steelers and Chiefs have both dealt with a crippling number of injuries this season, whether it was Pittsburgh losing quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Vick or Kansas City losing Jamaal Charles for the season.

The big difference? Pittsburgh has pressed on. Kansas City has shriveled up.

The Steelers head to Arrowhead Stadium today in search of their third straight win, and their fifth victory in sixth games. Third-string quarterback Landry Jones is expected to get his first start, and a plethora of other backups are also expected to play significant minutes.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs are trying to end a maddening fivegame skid lowlighted by lastminute losses to Denver and Chicago, and a horrid offensive performance last week in Minnesota.

“We are extremely fragile.

We acknowledge that,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

“We aren’t looking for comfort.

We aren’t looking to make excuses. Just in the state of where we are, we are going ... to make necessary adjustments to put ourselves in position to win.”

The Steelers (4-2) have so far been able to do just that.

Roethlisberger has been practicing but is still unlikely to play as he recovers from a knee injury, and Vick is sidelined by a hamstring injury. But in their place a week ago, Jones threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns in leading Pittsburgh to a 25-13 win over Arizona.

It was precisely the kind of gritty performance that has become a Steelers hallmark.

“That was really exciting.

Not only for us but for Landry,” Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown said. “He showed amazing growth, amazing poise.”

Especially considering everybody he was missing. Offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum is out for the season with a knee injury, center Maurkice Pouncey has a broken leg, wide receiver Martavis Bryant has been dealing with a knee injury, offensive tackle Mike Adams an ailing back.

Even more guys are missing on the defensive side.

“We focus not on the guys that aren’t playing, but the guys that are,” Tomlin said.

GOLDEN STATE INTERIM HEAD COACH LUKE WALTON INSTRUCTS HIS TEAM during the first half of an Pro Football Time Net Cable NBA preseason basketball game against the Denver Nuggets in Oakland, California. On Saturday, the Pittsburgh v.

Walton will start season as Warriors’ coach Oakland, Calif. — What has been speculated is now official: Steve Kerr will not be on the bench when the Warriors begin the defense of their NBA title Tuesday night at Oracle Arena, and he could miss a number of games at season’s outset as he continues to recover from back surgery.

General manager Bob Myers confirmed Saturday that Kerr, who attended practice and enjoyed his most involvement on the court since he initially left the team at the outset of training camp, still isn’t ready to return to the bench. Luke Walton will continue to serve as interim head coach until Kerr is able to return.

“I talked to Steve and he is improving, but there still is no timeline as to when he’s coming back,” said Myers. “He’s confident he will be back, but it’s all speculation as to when. So he told the team that Luke’s going to start the season as the coach, and they’re fully aware that they’re going to have to accept more responsibility. Luke we have full confidence in, he has a great staff around him.”

Myers said Kerr would continue to stay engaged with the team and talk to Walton frequently.

“Luke will hold down the fort until Luke’s able to come back, and stay back,” Myers said.

Kerr will be present before Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans to take part in the championship ring ceremony.

Walton said he was told Friday that he would begin the season as the head coach. Walton coached the Warriors’ summer league team and also has been the head coach throughout the entire preseason, and said he has been preparing mentally for the possibility of being the regular-season head coach to start the season.

“The preseason’s been great for some of the stuff, but that’s all over now,” he said. “We’ll find out Tuesday what it’s really like, and I’m looking forward to that.”

Kerr was not available for comment after practice.

UNC honors Stuart Scott Chapel Hill, N.C. — North Carolina spent Friday honoring late ESPN broadcaster and alumnus Stuart Scott.

The school inducted Scott into the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame, based in the UNC School of Media and Journalism.

The school later honored Scott during Friday night’s annual “Late Night with Roy” event, which is the ceremonial start to the basketball season. Scott first hosted the event in 2001 and did so 10 times.

Scott’s daughters, Taelor and Sydni, appeared at midcourt and received framed photos of Scott’s time as host from Tar Heels coach Roy Williams.

UNC also honored Scott with a “Tar Heel Trailblazer” award, which the school says honors those who “paved the way for success in all aspects of the student-athlete experience.”

Scott died in January after a lengthy fight against cancer.

BASEBALL

Source: Phillies hire Klentak Philadelphia — Two people familiar with the decision say the Philadelphia Phillies will hire Matt Klentak to be their general manager.

Both people spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the team hasn’t announced the move. The 35-year-old Klentak had been the Angels’ assistant general manager since November 2011.

Klentak replaces Ruben Amaro Jr. He was fired in September by new team president Andy MacPhail.

Klentak previously worked for MacPhail in Baltimore as the Orioles director of baseball operations from 2008-11. He then served as the No. 2 man behind GM Jerry DiPoto for four seasons. Klentak interviewed for DiPoto’s job after he resigned this summer. The Angels hired Billy Eppler earlier this month.

Names surface for L.A. job Los Angeles — Several hours after the Los Angeles Dodgers confirmed Don Mattingly wouldn’t return to their dugout next season, Gabe Kapler was asked if he was ready to take over as the team’s manager.

“I have to go work out,” Kapler said.

He smiled, politely declined to comment further and slipped into an elevator.

Kapler, who recently completed his first season as the Dodgers’ farm director, has emerged as the early industrywide favorite to replace Mattingly. The former major-league outfielder is one of three in-house candidates under consideration for the position, along with bench coach Tim Wallach and third base coach Ron Roenicke.

The Dodgers are also expected to reach out to Chicago Cubs bench coach Dave Martinez and former San Diego Padres manager Bud Black.

Andrew Friedman, the team’s president of baseball operations, said he would like to hire a manager in time for baseball’s annual winter meetings in early December.

“I imagine it will be a very thorough process,” Friedman said.

Previous managerial experience is not a requirement.

“My sense is that we’ll have candidates who have prior managerial experience and others who don’t,” Friedman said.

NFL

Peterson questionable today Eden Prairie, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have downgraded running back Adrian Peterson to questionable for their game today at Detroit due to an illness.

Peterson jammed the ring finger on his left hand last week against Kansas City. He was originally listed as probable to play the Lions because of that injury. The illness did not come into play until the Vikings made the announcement Saturday.

In 13 career games against the Lions, Peterson has rushed for 90 yards or more 10 times with 11 touchdowns. He’s averaging 5.3 yards per attempt and 107 yards per game against Detroit.

The Vikings previously ruled defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd out of the game because of knee and ankle injuries.

Dallas delays Bryant return Irving, Texas — Dez Bryant has been ruled out for the Dallas Cowboys’ game at the New York Giants on today, delaying the All-Pro receiver’s return from a broken right foot at least another week.

Bryant was downgraded from doubtful Saturday, a day after he didn’t travel with the team to New York. He hasn’t played since getting injured in the opener against the Giants.

The Cowboys (2-3) have lost all three games without Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo, who broke his left collarbone a week after Bryant went out. After the game against the Giants (3-3), Romo will miss at least three more games.

NASCAR

Gordon on pole at Talladega Talladega, Ala. — Jeff Gordon will go restrictor-plate racing for the last time today at Talladega. His No. 24 Chevy will start on the pole, but don’t be fooled by any pretense of great expectations.

If anything, he is trying to contain himself, and not do a happy dance on his way to his car.

Talladega. No more.

“In this type of racing, you have to accept it,” said Gordon, who is retiring and next year heading for a Fox TV gig. “You can’t fight against it; it is what it is. There are times where I’ve enjoyed restrictor-plate racing more than any other race I’ve ever been a part of.

CROSS COUNTRY REGIONALS

Jones qualifes for state

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Lawrence High freshman cross country runner Morgan Jones expected it to come down to the wire as to whether she would qualify for the state meet at Saturday’s Class 6A regional championship at Haskell Indian Nations University.

Jones’ instinct was right.

The LHS freshman placed 14th overall with a 5K time of 20:06.8 and took the fifth and final individual state-qualifying spot. The top five runners who are not a part of one of the top three teams earn a bid to the state meet.

“I was really happy for her,” LHS coach Brian Anderson said. “She’s worked hard for it. She tried to step it up at the end of the race.”

Jones admitted to being nervous going into her first regional cross country meet, but she was able to remain calm as she carried out her simple race plan.

“I was trying to keep

up with the people in front of me and catch up to them and stay with them,” Jones said.

Freshman Anna DeWitt joined Jones in the top 35, placing 31st with a time of 21:21.7 to help pace the Lawrence High girls to a seventh-place finish.

Jones will be joined at the state meet by the varsity squads of regional champion Shawnee Mission North, SM Northwest and SM West.

SMNW’s Molly Born won the individual title with a time of 18:40.0.

The 6A girls race will be at 11:45 a.m. Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. Class 3A, 5A and 6A will all be competing at Rim Rock, with the 5A boys kicking off the meet at 10 a.m.

pretty well,” Pederson said.

“We were in a close, tight group. We improved quite a bit.”

The LHS senior missed out on qualifying for the state meet for the third consecutive year, but Anderson applauded Pederson for the leadership he has displayed over the past four years.

“He’s had a good run,” Anderson said. “He’s had a lot of good races and qualified for state a couple of times.”

Sophomore Carson Jumping Eagle and junior Garrett Prescott also broke the 18-minute barrier with respective times of 17:48.7 (33rd place) and 17:59.7 (36th place).

SM North’s boys squad followed the lead of the girls team and edged Shawnee Mission East by one point for first place.

SMN’s boys and girls team also swept the Sunflower League Championships Oct. 17 at Rim Rock. SM North brothers Belesti and Alex Akalu took the top two spots at Saturday’s regional with times of 15:19.0 and 16:13.0.

Topeka — Free State High’s volleyball team has faced plenty of teams with powerful attacks this season. The Firebirds just haven’t played many quite like Manhattan.

The Firebirds had trouble adjusting defensively and couldn’t recover in a season-ending 25-19, 25-21 loss on Saturday at Washburn Rural in the first round of sub-state.

Free State finished the season with a 23-17 record.

“They were one step ahead of everything, and we were one step behind,” FSHS senior Allie Knapp said. “We just couldn’t quite get on our toes and figure out what they were doing on offense. They were just swinging quick and hitting where we weren’t.”

The Firebirds started strong in the first set, jumping to a 7-2 lead with three kills from freshman

BV West downs LHS volleyball

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s volleyball team had the honor of hosting one of the four Class 6A sub-state tournaments Saturday, but the home-court advantage was not enough to send the Lions past Blue Valley West.

LHS entered as the No. 7 seed, and fell to No. 2-seeded BV West in straight sets (25-12, 25-8).

“Blue Valley West is a solid team,” LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said. “They’ve got swingers at all places, and their setter is fantastic. It’s just hard to keep up with that kind of a team.”

The Lions (8-29) hung tough with the Jaguars early in the first set, trailing 8-7, but it was all BV West from there. The Jaguars used an 8-0 run in the middle stages of the first set, and rattled off nine straight midway through the second to keep the Lions from grabbing any momentum.

“I think we came out with a lot of energy, and just a lot of fight,” Laurel Bird said. “The underclassmen wanted to

BRIEFLY KU’s Miller sets pool mark Kansas University senior swimmer Chelsie Miller broke a Robinson Natatorium record Saturday while winning the 400 individual medley.

Miller recorded a time of 4:18.37 in a double dual against Denver and Missouri State. The Jayhawks defeated Missouri State, 277-69, and fell to Denver, 188-162.

“It was kind of surprising,” Miller said. “I saw the coaches on the side getting a little excited, so I knew something was up.

It’s really cool to be this fast this early in the year.”

Miller also won the 500yard freestyle in 4:57.44.

KU’s Haley Molden won the 100-yard freestyle in 51.78, Graylyn Jones and Nadia Khechfe went 1-2 in three-meter diving, and KU’s 200-yard freestyle relay team of Haley Bishop, Molden, Pia Pavlic and Hannah Driscoll took second in 1:36.33. Madison Straight (2:03.17) and Sammie Schurig (2:04.25) took second and third in the 200-yard backstroke.

The Jayhawks will face TCU on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.

8.35 on the floor and 7.85 on the bars.

After qualifying as an individual, Free State High senior Callie Hicks took fourth place on the bars (8.75) and fifth on the vault (9.15).

The Lions (4-11-1) lost, 2-1, to the Cougars (11-3-2) during the regular season on Sept. 17. The winner will face No. 4-seed Olathe North (13-3) or No. 13-seed SM West (4-12) on Thursday.

QB Walsh stellar for OSU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Stillwater, Okla. — He’s no Don Larsen, and Saturday’s 58-10 victory by Oklahoma State over visiting Kansas University at Boone Pickens Stadium was not the World Series, but Oklahoma State quarterback J.W. Walsh was just about perfect.

Walsh, who typically takes over for OSU startKANSAS LEADERS ing quarterback Rudolph Rushing: De’Andre Mann 7-30.

touchdowns on six carries and added 68 yards and two more TDs on 5-of-5 passing.

“We have a lot of good packages for me, and the guys around me executed perfectly,” Walsh said. “Today, it wasn’t so much what I did, it was what everyone else did and the coaches making great play calls because, when you watch them, they were just great play calls where everyone did their jobs. That’s just what happens when you’re clicking on offense.”

For fitting into his new role and not whining about a lack of opportunities, Walsh,

a fifth-year senior and former starter from Denton, Texas, has earned the respect of his teammates and OSU coach Mike Gundy.

“He continues to make plays for us,” Gundy said. “I mentioned to you guys in the preseason, during the season and almost every week that we need to continue to involve him in our offense.

He’s a good football player.”

Kansas coach David Beaty agreed with that assessment and said Walsh gave the Jayhawks’ run defense fits all afternoon. The OSU senior scored on runs of one, three and four yards and put the

14th-ranked Cowboys (7-0 overall, 4-0 Big 12) up 14-0 early with a pair of walk-in touchdowns.

“He’s a good player,” Beaty said of Walsh. “He can run. He did that all through his high school career. I watched him run right past me several times (while recruiting him). He’s a talented guy.”

While Walsh was whipping the Jayhawks with his legs, OSU starter Mason Rudolph, a sophomore, was torching Kansas with his arm. Rudolph finished 20of-26 passing for 305 yards and one touchdown.

GAME BALLS GASSERS

good signs Saturday. But the first-year KU coach, who has remained poised and positive in the face of some tough moments this season, looked visibly upset during his postgame meeting with the media. The reason? Effort.

“I can handle getting beat by a really good football team,” Beaty said. “It’s hard for me to deal with people when they can’t play to the end. Most of ’em did that.

But there were a few that I saw (who had) a lack of confidence toward the end there. And we’ll get that fixed.”

Added Dineen of Beaty: “He wasn’t happy after the game. Any time you have guys that don’t play through the end of the fourth quarter, it’s frustrating. When you get down that much, it sucks. But you’ve gotta keep playing and keep fighting. There’s more to play for. You gotta play for your pride.”

Discounting missed tackles and KU penalties, the lasting image from the loss — and it’s a sure bet it was one freshman quarterback Ryan Willis saw Saturday night in his sleep — was Willis sprinting away from pressure, attempting to square his body to throw and firing a pass into the turf at the feet of his receivers.

Oklahoma State’s defense, which entered ranked 29th in the nation, had a lot to do with Willis’ 12-of-31 passing

day that included two interceptions, two sacks and no time to breathe.

KU’s offensive line provided little resistance, and Willis, in just his third career start, barely had time to secure the snap, let alone process what he saw from the defense.

“There’s no two ways about it,” Beaty said. “That’s probably as good of a pass rush as I’ve seen in a long time. They were big and they’re fast. ... The last group I played against that looked that big was Alabama that first year we were at (Texas) A&M. You guys know me. I don’t mince words. I pat ’em on the back when they deserve it. We didn’t play very good up front today. Not at all.”

Added center Keyon Haughton on OSU’s defense, which recorded two sacks, five quarterback hurries and eight tackles for loss: “It was really different watching it in person.”

In its latest and arguably most disappointing loss of the season, Kansas (0-7, 0-4) committed 10 penalties, lost the turnover battle and committed yet another blunder on special teams.

OSU blew the game open early, sacking Willis to end the first quarter and blocking a punt for a touchdown to start the second quarter on the next play.

“They outcoached us and they outplayed us today,” Beaty said. “Simply put. In all areas.”

CANDIDATES FOR GASSERS n Safety Bazie Bates IV had the roughest four-play sequence of any Jayhawk this season. I: Missed tackle; II: Missed tackle on receiver who had no trouble getting open on him; III: Pass interference; IV: Missed tackle. n Oft-penalized RT Larry Mazyck was flagged for a pair of chop blocks and a clip.

HOW THEY SCORED FIRST QUARTER 12:10 — J.W. Walsh 3 run. Ben Grogan kick. Oklahoma State forced Kansas into a three-and-out on the game’s first series and then marched 70 yards in eight plays, with three plays of more than 20 yards eating up most of that real estate. (OSU 7, KU 0).

2:47 — Walsh 1 run. Grogan kick. After stuffing KU for the third time in a row, OSU took advantage of great field position and drove 47 yards in 10 plays and 4:09 to take a two-score lead. The drive, which again featured Walsh handling quarterback duties in the red zone, was kept alive by a fourth-down conversion from QB Mason Rudolph to wide receiver David Glidden. (OSU 14, KU 0).

SECOND QUARTER 14:50 — Miketavious Jones 13 blocked punt. Grogan kick. Another KU drive ended with a Ryan Willis sack on the final play of the first quarter. On the first play of the second, Matthew Wyman’s punt was blocked and returned for a TD by Jones, who had to hold his breath while officials reviewed it before confirming the score. (OSU 21, KU 0).

10:31 — Jeff Carr 1 run. Grogan kick.

A series of defensive blunders by the Jayhawks (most notably, safety Bazie Bates IV) helped Oklahoma State march to another score and blow open the game. The drive, aided by KU missed tackles and pass-interference penalties, covered 86 yards in eight plays and 3:04. (OSU 28, KU 0).

8:41 — Nick Bartolotta 40 field goal.

Kansas owed its first scoring drive of the day to a sensational catch-and-run by senior receiver Tre’ Parmalee, who caught a short pass from Willis on third-and-10 and raced 46 yards to set up the kick. (OSU 28, KU 3).

7:17 — James Washington 8 pass from Mason Rudolph. Grogan kick. The Cowboys answered KU’s first score with a lightning-fast touchdown drive starring sophomore wideout James Washington, who caught two balls for 51 yards on the drive, including the TD grab, which he ripped out of the air one-handed. (OSU 35, KU 3).

3:43 — Steven Sims Jr. 33 pass from Ryan Willis. Bartolotta kick. After going nowhere on the first couple of plays of the drive, Willis stepped up and hit Jeremiah Booker for 27 yards on third down. On the next snap, Willis quickly pushed the ball out to Sims, who sprinted past the OSU secondary for the score. The drive covered 62 yards in four plays and 1:15. (OSU 35, KU 10).

THIRD QUARTER 14:10 — Walsh 4 run. Grogan kick.

Oklahoma State took the opening kickoff of the second half and wasted little time putting up more points. Three plays and 50 seconds was all it took for the Cowboys to march 35 yards.

(OSU 42, KU 10).

12:19 — Chris Lacy 6 pass from Walsh. Grogan kick. A Willis interception set up the Cowboys in Kansas territory, and three plays later, Walsh hit a wide-open Lacy in the end zone.

(OSU 49, KU 10).

7:25 — Lacy 38 pass from Walsh.

Grogan kick. The OSU seven-on-seven scrimmage continued midway through the third quarter when Walsh, who normally just fills in for Rudolph in the red zone, tossed his second TD of the day to Lacy to cap a seven-play, 72-yard drive. (OSU 56, KU 10).

FOURTH QUARTER 4:55 — Tyler Ferguson 10-yard sack and safety. An OSU backup freshman defensive tackle, Ferguson got credit for a sack and two more points for the Cowboys when he chased after Willis in KU’s end zone. Willis rid himself of the ball before getting hit, but the incomplete throw didn’t get anywhere near the line of scrimmage, putting a miserable end to a three-play series.

(OSU 58, KU 10).

NOTEBOOK

Willis has ‘rough day’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Stillwater, Okla. — Seven days after setting a handful of freshman passing records, Kansas University quarterback Ryan Willis was reminded of just how much he still has to learn during the Jayhawks’ 58-10 loss at Oklahoma State.

“I think he had a rough day,” KU coach David Beaty said of his quarterback. “He did a few good things, but I thought he overthrew a bunch of guys. I thought his poise wasn’t where it had been.”

A big reason for that was the pass rush and chaos created by Oklahoma State’s defense. Willis was under duress all day, from the opening snap to his last, and he completed just 39 percent of his passes (12 of 31), threw two interceptions and was sacked twice and hit a ton.

Despite the beating, Willis’ teammates, who spoke on his behalf because KU’s freshmen are not made available to the media, came away impressed with the way he fought through it.

“He was cool,” senior wideout Tre’ Parmalee said of Willis. “I was surprised. He doesn’t really get flustered. He’s definitely a confident kid, and he’ll keep getting better each week.”

Added Beaty: “Probably the biggest positive I will take out of this game is the way that young man handled today. As he would come off the field, we used every single moment as a teachable moment. He’s a freshman. Obviously. And there’s a lot of things to learn in hostile territory like today, particularly against a front as good as they were.”

Willis’ best moments of Saturday came late in the first half, with KU

“We were gonna go for that chip at the start of the second half,” Beaty said. “We knew that we had it. We knew it looked really good. We had seen it earlier in the game. And we didn’t execute it.”

Failing to shift the momentum was the least of Beaty’s concerns about the close call on the kick.

“Where we went from there, that’s probably the most disappointing thing,” Beaty said of his team, which surrendered 21 points and nearly 200 yards of offense to OSU while gaining just 47 Onside kick attempt yards of its own in the fiTrailing 35-10 at half- nal two quarters. time and looking for a spark to give them hope Big play Willis’ 46-yard compleof crawling back into the game, the Jayhawks start- tion to Parmalee in the ed the second half with a second quarter marked surprise onside kick that the Jayhawks’ longest ofresulted in two penalties fensive play of the season.

On a thirdand-eight play from his own 40, Willis evaded the OSU rush, stepped up in the pocket and hit Jeremiah Booker with a 27-yard touch pass for a first down. On the next play, with the Cowboys on their heels, Willis fired a bullet to Steven Sims Jr., who caught it cleanly and raced 33 yards to the end zone for KU’s only touchdown of the day.

“I loved his demeanor,” Beaty said of Willis. “He kept learning, he kept paying attention.”

Cummings was also in his ear, just telling him to speed the clock up because we knew that they had a good front. I was just telling him go back there and relax and have fun.”

The streaks continue KU’s loss at Oklahoma State marked the program’s 36th consecutive setback away from Lawrence, a losing streak that dates back to 2009.

KU also now has lost 29 consecutive Big 12 road games. Kansas’ last road win in Big 12 play came in 2008 against Iowa State.

This and that ...

Freshman linebacker Osaze Ogbebor recorded the first tackle of his college career, a sack in the fourth quarter. ... Junior safety Fish Smithson finished with 10 tackles, giving him double-digit tackles in four of KU’s seven games this season. ...

OKLAHOMA STATE RUNNING BACK CHRIS CARSON (32) TRIES TO BREAK FREE from Kansas safety Fish Smithson (9) during the second quarter.

“I tell them every day they’re better than me when I was a freshman,” said Parmalee, the best player on KU’s offense.

“Like Steven Sims, he’s a really good athlete, a really good player, a really good kid. I stay in his ear and push him every day because I know his potential, and I don’t want to see him slack off. Same with Jeremiah (Booker), Emmanuel Moore. I try to stay in their ear every day, keep trying to make them get better.”

Parmalee, the first high school player recruited to Kansas by Charlie Weis, knows all about improvement.

He had the best statistical day of his career Saturday, but naturally wasn’t celebrating.

Nor was he sulking.

He was carrying out Parmalee assignments with precision, never letting the lopsided scoreboard invade his focus. Parmalee caught six passes for 115 yards, both career highs. Four catches were for first downs.

In six games (he missed the Baylor game due to a concussion) for Kansas, Parmalee has 26 catches for 441 yards and two touchdowns.

In his first three seasons at Kansas, Parmalee combined for 20 receptions for 174 yards and never caught a TD pass.

Nick Harwell, Nigel King and Tony Pierson were targeted the most last season.

KU entered the year without a player on the roster with a 2014 offensive touchdown to his name. Someone had to become the most reliable player on the offense, and Parmalee has been the guy. He knew his time would come.

“I’ve alwys had the vision,” Parmalee said. “If you don’t have the vision, it’s not going to happen. So I’ve always had that vision since I was a little kid.”

The vision didn’t include an 0-7 record with five games as the underdog left on the schedule.

“I think about that every day,” Parmalee said.

“That’s why you play the game, to win. You can’t always get caught up in the wins and losses, because if you do that can take away from your preparation for the next opponent. So just go out there with your boys and your coaches and try to get better each week.”

It takes years of doing that to become the player Parmalee has become.

Most of the great athletes will find perennial powerhouses. In time, KU can win by stockpil-

| 5C

ing enough good athletes who turn themselves into masters of technique at their positions. KU can win with enough Parmalee-caliber players/ thinkers/competitors becoming major contributors late in their careers.

But it will take years.

“On the sideline, it was really impressive to watch Tre’ handle his teammates and make sure those guys continued to play and fight,” KU coach David Beaty said. “... He’s a mature guy. He really is. He’s a coach’s son, and I say that a lot, but I think it matters. He’s just a quality kid.”

Parmalee said he’s grateful for his KU coaches teaching him how to get better and to his father, Oakland Raiders assistant coach Bernie Parmalee, for football lessons that never stop.

“I played football since I was 5 years old, and I was always around my ‘da,’ asking him things,” Parmalee said. “Actually, before today’s game, he texted me a long text and was telling me to have fun, how to use my hands on second-level releases and giving me little points to the game so I could perform well.”

I asked him to explain what he meant by using his hands on secondlevel releases, and as he explained it, I pictured him doing just that to perfection on multiple plays. He’s a natural at teaching football.

“It’s basically where I’m in the slot, and I have either a safety or a nickel over me, and I’m running an intermediate route or a deep route, and the guy jumps out to collision me, and I have to use my hands and my body to leverage around him to keep in the route and get open,” he explained.

On a day in which yet another inconceivable Oklahoma State tragedy reminded everyone not to take life for granted, Parmalee discussed how he never takes football as a given either.

“The coaches last night had us all close our eyes and think back to when we were little kids on Saturday playing football in the back yard with our friends, the feeling that we had that, man, maybe one day I can make it to that level being on TV, playing in front of all those people,” Parmalee said. “That’s something that definitely drives me all the time not to take it for granted and just look back to those days when I was like, man, if I could just make it to that stage, it would be awesome.”

Losing is the opposite of awesome, but maximizing opportunity has big rewards. If everyone on the roster gives the mental, physical and emotional effort Parmalee does on a daily basis for the entirety of their careers, KU’s football program will move in the right direction.

Georgia Tech stuns FSU on final play ————

Southern California hands third-ranked Utah first loss of season The Associated Press

Top 25 Georgia Tech 22, No. 9 Florida St. 16 Atlanta — Lance Austin returned a blocked field goal 78 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the game, giving Georgia Tech a stunning upset of Florida State on Saturday night.

Roberto Aguayo, one of the most accurate kickers in the country, attempted a 56-yard field goal to win the game for the Seminoles (6-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) with six seconds remaining. But the kick was low, and Patrick Gamble managed to get a hand on it.

While most of the Georgia Tech players celebrated, Austin went back to retrieve the ball, rolling along inside the 25-yard line.

At first, he seemed hesitant to pick it up. But then he did, taking off the other way in front of the Georgia Tech bench. He avoided Aguayo’s diving attempt, then cut back on the final guy who had a shot at him to win the game for Georgia Tech (3-5, 1-4).

Texas 23, Kansas St. 9 Austin, Texas — Backup quarterback Tyrone Swoopes scored three touchdowns, and Texas defeated Kansas State in a game played in a heavy rainstorm.

Swoopes, a 244-pound junior who started last season, is now used primarily in short-yardage situations. His first two touchdowns were on short runs, but his last one, which secured the victory, covered 10 yards with 1:47 remaining.

Swoopes ran for 13 and 29 yards on the previous two plays.

Kansas State has lost four consecutive games for the first time since 2005.

“For me, it’s a surprise,” Escobar said. “I know I’m playing really good and my team is playing really good. ... And when I heard the news, I was so happy for that.”

Royals manager Ned Yost wasn’t surprised.

After all, he remembers watching Cain and Escobar come up through the Brewers system when he was managing the club in Milwaukee.

“I used to bring Esky to big league spring training when he was in A-ball because I used to love to watch him play,” Yost said.

If he didn’t win the award, it could have easily gone to Cain again.

He again chased down everything hit his way, and again sparked the Royals’ run-run-run offense. Cain had five hits, drove in five runs and scored twice more in the six-game set against Toronto, none of the runs bigger than his last.

After the Blue Jays had knotted Game 6 at 3-all on a two-run homer by Jose Bautista in the eighth inning, and a 45-minute rain delay washed through, Cain worked a leadoff walk to put Kansas City back in business.

After prom ‘Prom Dress Room’ author examines inner lives of women through dresses, poetry

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna Illustrations courtesy of Sandy Hazlett

“I

t wasn’t really about prom,” insists Sandy Hazlett of her new collection of poems entitled “The Prom Dress Room.”

She’s good-natured, even when fielding questions about her own prom (she doesn’t remember much about the dance itself, aside from an Under the Sea theme) and her fuzzy memories of what she wore to the grand event some 40-odd years ago.

But for Hazlett, who will host a reading of the book Thursday evening at the Raven Book Store, the collective American teenage experience known as The Prom is really just shorthand for the time in a young person’s life when the first steps are taken into adulthood.

“Really, what that means is you’re graduating from high school, and that’s a huge transition,” she says. “And the choices you make after that are really what make us who Hazlett we are.”

Yet prom, that fleeting moment between girlhood and the realities of grown-up life, isn’t the focus of “The Prom Dress Room,” which takes its name from a long-standing Lawrence tradition known as Project Prom Dress.

Every year, a few months before the onset of prom season, the Social Service League hosts a giveaway of gently used formal dresses for young women in Douglas County.

Hazlett, a longtime volunteer with the Social Service League, was tasked with cleaning and organizing the donated dresses one winter about four years ago when she first developed the idea for “The Prom Dress Room.”

There, above the historic stone building at 905 Rhode Island St. that houses the Social Service League thrift store, Hazlett sorted through the bevy of colorful frocks.

Each seemed to have its own story.

Hazlett couldn’t help but wonder who had worn the dress originally.

Who was she? What was her life like? And what kind of person would she grow into?

The resulting poems, Hazlett says, “wrote themselves.” Every week, she found herself taking home a new dress, capturing its likeness with ink and colored pencils and writing the story of the girl who wore it to prom.

Originally published in this year’s edition of the Coal City Review and Press, “The Prom Dress Room” first became available in book form (it’s published by Anamcara Press) two months ago.

Both are local, Hazlett notes. All proceeds from her book sales at the Social Service League and the Raven benefit the organization that inspired her poems in the first place.

“The dress you choose says a lot about who you are right then, and how that will extrapolate in the future to make your life….” Hazlett says, her words trailing off. “Now, of course you don’t have control over all these things, but you’re there, and who you are is there, and the woman you become is there.”

Portraits of women Women are at the heart of “The Prom Dress Room.” The poems follow nine different women coming of age amid the kind of familial and societal pressures that seem inherent to growing up female.

None are purely autobiographical. “But all these images came from my life, from stories that I’d heard, things that happened to friends,” Hazlett says.

Bits and pieces of her teenage years and young adulthood are scattered throughout the book.

In the poem “3D Red,” Hazlett’s reallife prom date, identified simply as “MarReally, what (prom) means is you’re tin,” shares his name with the one-time graduating from high school, and that’s husband of the poem’s protagonist, a self-assured and beautiful young woman a huge transition. And the choices you who becomes a surgeon and ends up leaving all three of the men she married. make after that are really what make us “My two girls grow to despise me,” who we are.” the poem reads. “I was not made for this man’s world.”

Dress CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

And then there’s the heroine of “Diamond Straps,” whose sleek black gown calls to mind the famous John Singer Sargent painting “Portrait of Madame X.” Hazlett’s character wears her “diamonds as they were repainted, high and wide as my dreams.”

It’s a reference to the scandal Sargent faced upon debuting his painting in Paris, where critics were outraged by the suggestiveness of one jeweled strap falling down the model’s right shoulder. Humiliated, Sargent painted over the original, showing both straps securely fastened.

In “Diamond Straps,” the young woman steps “elegantly into the future,” but within a year, she drops out of college.

Plagued by mental illness, the once-hopeful girl becomes “solemn and suicidal,” and is sent away.

She survives, but only barely.

“It never does get any better than that,” the poem reads. “I become the fallen diamond strap.”

Hazlett’s personal connection here is two-fold.

Her maternal greatgrandmother, Louise Pomeroy, was also a model of Sargent’s — the painting of the darkhaired beauty belongs to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts now, Hazlett says.

“This kind of depression that can ruin a life,” as it did with the heroine of “Diamond Straps,” runs in Hazlett’s family, “particularly through the women down that line,” she says.

For many women, Hazlett acknowledges, “life is difficult.”

Her “Prom Dress Room” stories illustrate the ways in which the voices and experiences of young women can

‘Solitaire’ Editor’s note: “Solitaire” is one of nine poems in Sandy Hazlett’s “The Prom Dress Room.”

I am the winter prairie, broom sedge, little bluestem, coyote fur, a herding, lone, red heeler.

I am thin skinned, indecisive, uncomfortable in crowds.

I melt into my dress.

I mimic flesh so I can blend in.

I keep it short so I can walk away.

Clubs, pearls, and lace at my waist, two lines of thought, subtle decorum.

I am a pleated column.

I will go to nursing school, join Doctors Without Borders, travel to the Caucasus.

I will meet a handsome intern who marries me when I become pregnant.

I raise his two sons.

He never loves me.

We retire to Coral Gables, Florida.

The doctor dies peacefully in his reading chair.

I sneak cigarettes in the bathroom and eat scrambled eggs with ketchup because there is no one to tell me not to.

I have chronic catarrh and spit into the coconut tree.

In my pearl slippers on terra-cotta tile I shuffle cards in a metal box and play solitaire in the sunroom.

IF YOU GO What: “The Prom Dress Room” reading. In addition to Sandy Hazlett, local authors Ronda Miller and Jose Faus will also be reading their work.

Identities are lost, found and, in the case of the girl in “Crystal Leaf,” reclaimed after years of sexual abuse waged by her own father.

me,” Hazlett says. “Oh, people I knew, friends.

It does happen to a lot of women.”

She says this matterof-factly, but not without a twinge of sadness in her voice.

And yet, the traumatized young woman at the heart of “Crystal Leaf” is able to discover her own strength and find purpose in her life.

So, too, does the spunky protagonist in “Homemade Sparkling Peach.”

She sews her own dress — a gaudy, high-hemmed confection, “all sanguine and sequins” — and has plans to become an entrepreneur, importing fabric and handcrafts from the Silk Road.

Her future makes no mention of these dreams, but “Homemade

Sparkling Peach” seems happy to live a “moderately hemmed life” with her Presbyterian minister husband. She ends up sewing her daughter’s prom dress when the time comes.

“She is content and she is strong,” Hazlett says of her character. “She made her life as she made her dress.”

Different voices “The Prom Dress Room” is an overtly feminist text, its author realizes. Hazlett knows “that word scares people,” but she’s unapologetic about her stories — what makes them feminist, she says, is their unflinching depiction of the inner lives of ordinary women.

Each and every one of them — from the sur-

geon in “3D Red” to the schoolteacher in “Crystal Leaf” to the preacher’s wife in “Homemade Sparkling Peach” — feels undeniably real.

Perhaps that’s because their stories all come from real people in Hazlett’s life. She hopes they’ll feel as authentic to those who pick up the book.

Hazlett won’t be alone at Thursday’s reading. A “surprise” group of local writers — all of them women — will read the nine poems in her book.

She’s saving the introduction for herself, and will step in to read if someone can’t make it.

For Hazlett, who is so quick to dismiss any attention that comes her way — keep the focus on the Social Service League, she insists — it’s

an “exciting” occasion.

“It’s so cool that I’ll have different voices of different women reading the different poems,” she says. “They’ll bring to life the different voices that come out of these stories and these dresses.”

H

aving grown up working in my family’s meat market, I didn’t get to sample a lot of vegan food as a kid. Every time I try the organic and gluten-free vegan fare at FüD, however, I start thinking I could eat it every single meal.

But that’s probably easier said than done, as it would take a lot of time and talent to get anywhere close to the zest and deliciousness of the dishes prepared at this bustling, cash-only vegetarian restaurant in Kansas City’s Westside neighborhood.

At 813 W. 17th St., just west of Summit Street, FüD is tucked between the funky, upscale eatery Novel and gourmet snow cone purveyor Little Freshie. The restaurant was opened in 2010 by Heidi VanPelt-Belle, who started preparing and serving food in Los Angeles and then in the local Bad Seed market in the Crossroads.

The concept has been a hit so far, with a steady stream of diners and carryout customers visiting for lunch or dinner Tuesday through Saturday, or for lunch Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

FüD’s dining room

inside the heart logo, also opened up a brickand-mortar location on the Country Club Plaza at 419 W. 47th St. across from Barnes and Noble.

Japanese eggplant from FüD is cozy and colorful, and the menu includes an extensive array of stir-fry dishes, salads, sandwiches, Latin dishes, raw foods, appetizers, smoothies and desserts.

Check out a full menu at eatfud.com. Whether you’re a genuine vegetarian or an erstwhile omnivore like me, chances are good you’ll find something to love.

Arts Center spreads Layton drawings across the country A collection of 50 drawings by the late Kansas artist Elizabeth Layton, donated to the Lawrence Arts Center 20 years ago, have been gifted to several art museums across the country, according to a news release.

Don Lambert, who first discovered her 37 years ago, proposed the idea of finding new homes for the donated pieces. He and Lawrence Arts Center CEO Susan Tate agreed that the move would mutually benefit Lawrence and communities throughout the U.S. The drawings will now reside in the collections of such high-profile institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and the Art Institute of Chicago.

They will also go to area institutions such as the Spencer Museum of Art at Kansas University, Johnson County Community College’s Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, the Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University, the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Mo., and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Mo.

‘A MUSICAL ADVENTURE’ Jeff Daniels on balancing acting and music, touring with his family and that famous ‘Newsroom’ speech

By Fally Afani

IF YOU GO

Special to the Journal-World

Jeff Daniels has seen his fair share of audiences. From the big screen to the little screen, and stages in between, the Emmy award-winning actor is constantly developing his craft.

But amid the recent releases of two new films, “Steve Jobs” and “The Martian,” Daniels will be showcasing a musical talent not everyone gets to see. He’s stopping at the Granada on Oct. 27 with his son’s act, The Ben Daniels Band, for a night of rustic Americana as he dives into his sixth album, “Days Like These.”

The Lawrence Journal-World’s Fally Afani recently talked with Daniels about his family-fueled folk act, and what it takes to find a balance between a Hollywood actor and life as a touring musician.

Jeff Daniels and the Ben Daniels Band will perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25-$35 and can be purchased at the Granada box office and thegranada.com. the audience is glad you made the effort to come to them FA: I heard you’re quite the storyteller onstage. Since folk music tends to be fairly personal, what are some of the real-life experiences that helped shaped your music?

JD: I never know what I’m really going to say, nor does the band.

That’s part of the fun of it, that I will go off. I will talk to the audience. If we have a conversation, great. They need to remember that one of us has the microphone, so be careful. But there is room for spontaneity. I know I’ve said things onstage and gone off on little tangents and looked at my son, and he’s shaking his head.

FA: It seems that your acting career keeps your hands full enough, and then I see how much you tour.

This isn’t your first rodeo; you tour a lot. Why the decision to go out on tour when you have the new Steve Jobs movie coming up?

JD: For one thing, I enjoy it and I It’s a joy for me being in the get the chance to play with my son’s band. This will be the fourth time closet all these years and to kind we go out together. We book these of come out and say, ‘Here’s a things four to six months ahead of time. So, four to six months ago, who song I wrote,’ and the jaws drop.” knew “The Martian” and “Steve Jobs” would come out so close together?

— Jeff Daniels There’s something wonderful about going out on the road and looking over there and seeing your son. It’s a great musical adventure that’s as imI certainly do not ignore the movie portant to me as what’s going on with career or television career. We do a the movies. I cherish these tours. song, for instance, called “Now You Know You Can,” which is based on FA: Lawrence is smack dab in the “The Newsroom” and the speech I had middle of the nation. How do your in the first episode. It’s the speech that audiences in the Midwest take to you probably won me the Emmy, and it’s compared with the rest of the nation? certainly a speech that will outlive me JD: It’s aimed at places more like and Aaron Sorkin. Getting ready to do Lawrence than it is in, say, New York that speech and the pressure that was or Chicago. I enjoy going to places on me, I got through that, and it goes to that are off the beaten path. Law- a song “Now You Know You Can.” If rence, Kansas, is one of those places. you don’t try and risk failure, then you I really enjoy finding those venues, won’t succeed… and once you do, now those places that when you get there you know you can do it.

JEFF DANIELS AND THE BEN DANIELS BAND will be performing at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Granada.

FA: You’re no stranger to folk festivals. What do you do to set yourself apart from being the actor that shows up with the guitar?

JD: You can’t get away from it. That’s what you’re known for. If you can play, that’s it at the end of the day. If you can play, musicians know if you’re getting around or not. I’ve worked hard over the decades, since the late ’70s, on the guitar as a songwriter. It’s a joy for me being in the closet all these years and to kind of come out and say, “Here’s a song I wrote,” and the jaws drop. Their expectations are so low. But if you risk it, I think you’ll be surprised. And that comes from 35 years of getting ready to do it.

FA: What, as an actor, prepared you for live music on tours like this one?

JD: I’ve been on tour for 40 years. It’s a different tour. You go somewhere, you’re in hotels, you’re spending three months somewhere or you’re on a movie and you’re on location somewhere. I’ve always been a gypsy. It’s a very nomadic experience as an actor. I embrace it as an adventure, doing something with my family. My wife goes, my dogs go. We enjoy these, we really do.

FA: You’ve been touring for a

while with your son Ben’s band.

What brought you two together to bond over music?

JD: I said to him in high school, “If you ever want to learn the guitar, come to me.” Then it was hockey and girls and all of a sudden he was 19 and he said, “All right, I’m ready.”

I said, “Ready for what?” and he said, “Teach me the guitar.” He was looking for some direction, and what I didn’t know was that he was an artist. He could draw, he could paint, he could take photographs. So learning the guitar came quickly to him, and he hasn’t had the guitar out of his hands for the last 11 years.

I said if you chase this, you have to write your own stuff… He started researching all kinds of writers, the blues, the folk, hip-hop, he chased all of it… and now he’s got this life in music as a recording engineer, as a songwriter. I’ve done that with Luke, my other son. I said find out what you love to do, and spend the rest of your life getting better at it.

Not everybody gets that opportunity. Best to find out something that you’re natural at, and that you love, and then chase that as a career.

Get weird on Halloween with a David Lynch double feature

T

he horror movie genre exists because people love to be scared. Take one look at a list of “horror” movies streaming online, though, and you’ll see a ton of gory slasher pictures and sequel after lame sequel that aren’t scary at all.

Fear is trickier than that. It manifests itself in a lot of different ways. The jump scares that dominate so many “scary” movies today are cop-outs. It’s a lot tougher for a film to establish and maintain a creepy atmosphere for its entire running time — and if it taps into some universal paranoia or a personal deep-seeded fear, even better.

That’s where David Lynch comes in. He’s not as prolific as many great directors — and he has almost as many misfires (“Dune,” “Lost Highway,” “Inland Empire”) as he has classics (“Blue Velvet”). But now is a very good time to introduce or re-acquaint yourself with two of Lynch’s three iconoclastic masterpieces: “Mulholland Dr.” and “Eraserhead.”

Why now, you may ask? The answer is simple: Thanks to new 4K digital transfers from The Criterion Collection, these movies have never looked and sounded better. (Anyone who knows Lynch’s filmography knows that the sound is at least as important as the images.)

The remastered “Mulholland Dr.” is out on Criterion Blu-ray and DVD Oct. 27, while “Eraserhead” is out now.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com Some movies feel dated just months after their arrival, but 2001’s “Mulholland Dr.” just keeps getting better with time.

Expanding on some of the visual themes that made his short-lived ABC series “Twin Peaks” (which is being revived on Showtime soon) so iconic, Lynch accessed deep recesses of the human psyche to create a narrative cinematic experience that is truly like no other.

“You’ll see me one more time if you do good. You’ll see me two more times …

if you do bad. Goodnight.”

— The Cowboy Only in a David Lynch movie could a small bald man dressed head to toe in Tom Mix western gear be absolutely terrifying. Thanks to non-actor Monty Montgomery’s dead-eyed delivery, Angelo Badalamenti’s low-end synth rumble, and the mounting dread surrounding his introduction, The Cowboy’s words haunt the mystery at the heart of “Mulholland Dr.” There is no conceivable way to spoil the film, but I’ll sum it up in one word: Identity.

Every vivid high, every surrealistic low; they exist — and turn on — this key idea. If there is one thing that every human being on the planet can relate to, it’s the idea that nobody gets to choose who they are.

We are born, we exist.

Hollywood is the dream factory, and it swallows up untold amounts of dreamers who are trying to re-define their identity every day.

Naomi Watts is Betty,

the stereotypical smalltown girl hoping to make it big. Lynch doesn’t just recognize movie clichés like Betty, he thrives on them. He uses them against us.

When a tall, dark and classic-Hollywoodbeautiful amnesiac (Rita, played by Laura Harring) enters her life, the pair try to find out who she was before her car accident.

We already know Rita was about to be murdered seconds before the crash, so the mystery is doubled for the audience.

Much has been written about the “dream logic” of “Mulholland Dr.” As a differentiator to most movies that merely employ this strategy in some vague manner, however, let me submit this: An early criticism of this film was that there is no connective tissue, and that is simply dead wrong. There are several recurring themes under the umbrella of identity, and all of the weirdness resonates with its own authenticity.

Because Lynch is playing with archetypes like the wide-eyed innocent, he’s able to subvert them with a heightened reality that suckers us in. All of a sudden we’re not experiencing Betty’s raw emotion at a remove. Her biggest fears are ours, and it’s terrifying to see … well … her … identity … decimated. Wiped clean.

Like it never existed.

Watching it again this week, I was transfixed by its conclusion, and then overcome by an enormous amount of sadness.

In a new interview on

the “Mulholland Dr.” Bluray, Watts says, “Some directors want to saturate you with information” and — this is an understatement — Lynch isn’t one of those directors. I believe there’s a freedom in letting go; in not trying to make sense of every detail, but rather letting the big picture wash over you.

The meaning in “Mulholland Dr.” will be different for everyone.

The same could be said tenfold of 1977’s “Eraserhead,” a black-and-white movie that actually has a more straightforward narrative structure than “Mulholland Dr.” but is a tougher watch because of its incredibly slow pace and lack of character investment.

At a distance and with repeated viewings, it becomes easier to relate to Henry Spencer (Jack Nance), who lives in an industrial park and is terrified by his “baby” — an H.R. Giger-like monstrosity that undergoes a number of metamorphoses (or are they in dreams?) and is seriously, painfully ill.

As in “Mulholland Dr.,” sound design is absolutely crucial to the spooky atmosphere of this Kafka-esque movie, which was also Lynch’s dynamic debut long-form work. His own fears about being a father are baked into the film’s DNA, then filtered through his lens.

The funny thing about the film’s truths is this: The more specific (and weird) they get, the more universal they become.

Again, I’ll pull out this recommendation and warning: Approach “Eraserhead” as a unique cinematic experience.

Don’t try to make “sense” of it. There are many ways that motion pictures can move you. Linear plots with easily defined cause and effect are the kinds of stories we are used to, but sometimes it’s refreshing to enter a world where logic takes a backseat to purely evocative storytelling.

“I just came here from Ontario and now I’m in this dream place.” — Betty Lynch is certainly tuned into his own peculiar wavelength. “Mulholland Dr.” and “Eraserhead” are eerie examples of filmmaking, shrouded in mystery and darkness.

But they are by no means impenetrable. They are forged from our deepest fears and most vulnerable places.

Isn’t that what true horror is all about?

“Mulholland Dr.” is available on Criterion’s new Blu-ray, DVD, and on Hulu Plus Oct. 27. It is also available online from HBO Go, YouTube, Amazon Video, Vudu, and Google Play. “Eraserhead” is available on Criterion Blu-ray and DVD, plus online at Hulu Plus, YouTube, Amazon Video, Vudu, and Google Play.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Marriage is a partnership, not a 50/50 business Dear Annie: I married “Dean” nine years ago. It was a second marriage for both of us. Soon after we wed, he said we would split all expenses 50-50. However, the house is in his name, and he will not put my name on the deed since I can’t match “his” down payment, even though I pay him rent each month.

Everything we do, I have to pay half. He and his teenage son went on a two-week vacation, and I couldn’t go because I couldn’t afford my share. When we go out, I have to pay my own way. He only gives me a gift when I give him one of equal value.

We have no joint accounts. I currently have a large debt, but in two years that will be paid off. I feel like a secondclass citizen. I know Dean loves me — but I come after his son, his

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

job, his employees, his computer and his civic organizations. His bank accounts are getting fatter, and I am barely scraping by. Is this a marriage or a lord/serf relationship? — Indentured Servant Dear Servant: It sounds like a lopsided business arrangement.

It’s certainly not our idea of a loving marriage where partners should take care of each other instead of sending them a bill for expenses. A

Another ‘Simpsons’ Halloween Kelsey Grammer must be proud knowing that he’s associated with two of the longestrunning TV characters of all time. He played Dr. Frasier Crane on both “Cheers” and “Frasier” over a 20-year span, starting in 1984. But his recurring character on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m. Sunday, Fox), Sideshow Bob, has been around even longer, more than a quarter century!

In many ways, Frasier and Sideshow Bob are cut from the same high threadc o u n t c l o t h .

They are both incurable snobs with Ivy League affectations, given to pompous asides, Gilbert and Sullivan references and acid remarks about the dubious merits of white zinfandel. The big difference is that Bob is a former sideshow performer for Krusty the Clown and has a homicidal obsession with Bart Simpson.

And tonight, in the 26th edition (or is that XXVI?) of the “Treehouse of Horror” Halloween show, Sideshow Bob Terwilliger finally gets his wish.

As with any long-deferred goal, killing Bart comes with many downsides. Free of his bloodlust, Bob starts teaching literature at Springfield University. He watches in horror as his bored students stare at their phones during his lectures and retrieve answers from Wikipedia when he quizzes them on T.S. Eliot.

Like many “Treehouse” offerings, this “Simpsons” is as gory and gross as an “Itchy & Scratchy” cartoon. And like most, it’s riddled with media parodies and arcane inside jokes. Look for cameos from drooling aliens Kang and Kodos, who complain that their appearances on the show get shorter every year. Worse, they’re broadcast in an oldfashioned 4:3 screen ratio and not letterboxed! Now that’s a crime!

Tonight’s other highlights

The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Carolina Panthers on “Sunday Night Football” (7:20 p.m., NBC).

Elizabeth and POTUS have a falling out on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS.

Steph’s embarrassing secret puts her farm in jeopardy on “Home Fires” on “Masterpiece Classic” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Alicia defends a shoplifter on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

Tom Selleck stars in the 2015 mystery “Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise” (8 p.m., Hallmark Movies & Mysteries).

“Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” (8 p.m., CNN) visits Ethiopia.

Rick’s select group circles back to Alexandria on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC).

good partnership is 5050, but the contribution can mean household chores, child care, etc.

And when one partner has a higher income and fewer debts than the other, it is unfair to expect an equal financial arrangement. Dean is treating you as an inferior. Tell him you’d like to go for counseling. If he won’t go, go without him. You might also want to see an attorney.

Having everything in his name puts you in a risky position.

Dear Annie: I had some bad memories rise up when I read the letter from “Mother of a Tomboy.” My paternal grandmother always expected me to look and act like a perfect little lady. Every time I went to see her, she made me wear awful curlers all day. Before we left, she would fi-

nally take them out, fix my hair in an old-fashioned style and lacquer it down with hairspray.

Nothing I wore was feminine enough. My weight was never right, and she didn’t like me to eat too much of anything. I begged Mom to make Granny stop doing my hair.

Fortunately, I learned to like myself as I am.

That grandma should enjoy her tomboy granddaughter and not create terrible memories like the ones I have. — Lubbock, Texas Dear Lubbock: If your grandmother had known how negatively you would remember her, we trust she would have done things differently.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Oct. 25: This year you seem to be unusually fortunate in that you tend to stumble into the right place at the right time. Ultimately, everything will work out for the best. If you are single, your upbeat personality draws many people toward you. If you are attached, you are focused on your long-term goals as a couple.

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 have more vigor and enthusiasm than you have had in a while. Opportunities could come in. Tonight: An older person gets pushy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Take your time when making decisions. You might not be happy with what someone is sharing. Tonight: Keep it confidential.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You are full of energy and driven to hang out with friends. A loved one could appear to be closed off. Tonight: Surrounded by people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A boss, parent or older person will become demanding, and you might not have the flexibility you would like. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Accept a spontaneous invitation that will pull you away from your daily life. Tonight:

Tumble into bed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating is likely to draw you and a friend or loved one closer together. Tonight: Say “yes” to a discussion.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be uncomfortable when dealing with a somewhat wild person in your life.

Tonight: Defer to someone else.

West Middle School sixth grade students Quincy Kastens, Jalen Jordan, Lindsay Witt, Quez Lee, Lakin Peterson, Bianco Nieto and Ashley Edwinson gather their literature circle in a hallway at school to discuss “Maniac Magee.” The novel gives the students a good example of a story whose main character has strong personal experiences. They’ll use the example to guide them in writing personal narratives in English language arts. Their teacher, Kristyn Nieder, listens as they rotate through the roles of Discussion Director, who leads the group by posing thought-provoking questions; the Connector, who connects the text to self, the world and to other text; the Literary Luminary, who finds passages that are special, unique, confusing or descriptive; and the Illustrator, who draws and writes about a scene from the reading that is important to the plot. Nieder says rotating through these jobs as part of their literature group puts more responsibility on the students to facilitate the discussion.

“Who doesn’t like to get together and talk about a good book?” Nieder asks.

ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS

Teachers on Special Assignment Provide Support for English Language Arts

By Therese Brink Edgecomb (K-5) and Greg Bonsignore (6-12), Teachers on Special Assignment - English/Language Arts

English/language arts (ELA) continues to be a core subject matter for all students. Reading, writing, listening, speaking and language skills are keys to student success beyond the classroom.

With Kansas College and Career Ready Standards requiring more rigorous and interactive requirements of students, teachers and staff are rising to the challenge to provide students enriched and exciting ELA experiences.

WHAT’S A TOSA? ELA Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSAs) support teachers in all of the key areas of English/language arts. This includes providing professional

04

development for new staff and seasoned teachers. TOSAs provide assistance one-on-one or in small groups to address the needs of specific teams of teachers. Teachers and support staff may turn to the TOSAs to ask questions, such as how to utilize a district-provided resource, where to get help accessing an online resource or how to gain insight and gather ideas in the subject matter. Occasionally TOSAs co-plan, team teach or model lessons in classrooms.

A major focus for the K-5 ELA TOSA is providing support for elementary teachers districtwide in implementing the district’s new resource Reading Street.

Other elements for the K-5

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

ELA TOSA include the district’s writing program, Units of Study; keyboarding program, Type 2 Learn; and handwriting program, Handwriting Without Tears. All are part of the elementary ELA program.

The secondary ELA TOSA provides support to teachers in grades 6-12 when it comes to implementing the Units of Study in Argument/ Opinion, Information and Narrative Writing: A Common Core Workshop Curriculum. Last spring, the district expanded this program from the elementary level to middle schools.

Starting with sixth grade, Lawrence Public Schools will be introducing Units of Study into middle schools, one grade level at a time, during the course of the next three years.

WHAT’S NEXT? ELA is an ever-evolving field.

New data, resources, information and goals are always in flux. The TOSAs and elementary, middle and high school English/language arts leadership teams comprised of strong teachers across all grade levels, library-media specialists, principals and other key staff members are highly engaged in keeping an eye out for future trends and preparing to meet those needs.

These individuals bring a plethora of experiences and perspectives to help guide the district. They review current practices and materials, determine areas of strengths and of need and make recommendations that help guide district decisions.

Why Lawrence Loves Lucy!

By Gregory Bonsignore, Teacher on Special Assignment – English/Language Arts, Grades 6-12

A GUIDE TO LUCY-SPEAK

A renewed focus on the practice of writing followed on the heels of the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. Lawrence Public Schools adopted a new writing curriculum in the 201415 school year for students in grades K-5. Units of Study in Opinion/Argument, Information and Narrative Writing: A Common Core Workshop Curriculum is a research-based program based on the work of the leading think-tank in the field, the New York-based Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. Lucy Calkins is the series editor and primary author. After a positive reception from Lawrence students, teachers, administrators and parents, the district expanded this curriculum to the middle schools this year.

HOW DOES WRITING WORKSHOP-BASED INSTRUCTION DIFFER FROM OTHER APPROACHES TO TEACHING WRITING? Writing workshop uses a predictable daily structure. Teachers lead students through a 1015 minute mini-lesson after which students are free to experiment with and choose strategies that are most relevant to the writing they are doing for that day. While students are writing or revising their work, the teacher conferences with individual students or meets with small groups of students to support them with more personalized instruction. There are always a few minutes at the end of writing workshop to share or celebrate student progress and successes.

HOW DOES WRITING WORKSHOP SUPPORT READING INSTRUCTION OR WORK THAT STUDENTS DO IN OTHER CONTENT AREAS? Even in the sciences, the KCCRS expect students to demonstrate knowledge through their writing. Students can use the explicit instruction they receive during writing workshop throughout their educational career. When teachers sequence the work students do with literature and informational text to provide opportunities for students to experiment with producing the types of text they are reading, both reading and writing skills are enhanced.

WHAT TYPES OF WRITING ARE KIDS DOING? The KCCRS has standards for three main types of writing: argument/opinion, information and narrative. Units of Study has students experience all three types of writing every year at increasing levels of rigor. When it comes to information writing, for example, at the first grade, students publish nonfiction chapter books, while in the fifth grade, students publish research reports that rely on historical documents or primary sources like speeches.

In eighth grade, students compose position papers that address multiple perspectives.

One of the strengths of Units of Study is that it uses common language and expectations to help students progress across grade levels.

The series editor and primary author of Units of Study, Lucy Calkins, uses a variety of terms that might be unfamiliar to the average teacher, student or parent. Here are a few favorites: • “Flash or Discovery-Draft:” This is writing that’s done “fast and furious” and early in the process, filling up a page as quickly as possible to see what one knows about a topic.

• “Seed idea:” This is an idea for a story that focuses on a small-moment in a given period of time. In other words, students focus on “one seed” as opposed to the entire watermelon.

• “Mentor-text:” A piece of published writing that is “read like a writer,” almost like a form of reverse engineering.

• “Craft moves:” The ideas one gets from a mentor-text, like starting a story with a one-word sentence for dramatic effect.

• “When you’re done, you’ve just begun!”

This refers to the practice of revising or “seeing anew” that occurs when the writer believes he/she has come to the end of drafting a piece. This comes in handy with students who believe that writing time is done once they’ve filled the page or answered a question.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics is for Everyone!

By Philip Thies (K-5) and Danira Flores (6-12), Teachers on Special Assignment – Mathematics

Mathematics and math education are essential components for success in our modern world. Many people, however, hold disparaging beliefs about math. Some may believe there are people born with a “math brain.” Others think math is about memorizing procedures. Others think they will never be good at math. Educators in the Lawrence Public Schools are determined to overcome these unproductive beliefs.

We are all mathematicians!

Everyone can be successful understanding and learning math.

Educators are leveraging the Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice,

as part of the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards, to engage students in richer experiences with math.

“I believe the math practice standards outline the way math should have always been taught. Math classrooms should be active classrooms filled with students talking and sharing ideas with one another, using various tools to solve problems and taking risks during the process,” said Cara Aldridge, Southwest Middle School math teacher. “When we encourage students to utilize their natural mathematical intuition to explore math at greater depth, we not only increase their confidence in mathematics, we keep

them excited about the subject as well.”

The Standards for Mathematical Practice are process skills that educators help students develop. These processes are essential, because they assist in developing reasoning, understanding of mathematics and promote discourse of ideas using math. These processes are as important as content standards.

“The math standards help me to provide my students the opportunity to work together to solve problems that push them beyond basic computation into more rigorous thinking and the use of multiple problem solving strategies,” said Paula Barr, Quail Run Elementary School second grade teacher.

Barr says, for example, a math problem such as “Would you rather have 800 pennies or 3 one dollar bills, 10 quarters, 12 dimes and 22 nickels?” when given to a small group of students extends their thinking, pushes them to persevere and try multiple strategies, to engage in math discourse and to celebrate together their effort to reach an outcome.

“The classroom erupts into a working buzz, heads are together, brows furrowed and eyes lit with ideas. It’s a very exciting place to be! We are growing mathematical thinkers, a step above simply solving computational problems at top speed,” Barr said.

Standards for Mathematical Practice STANDARD 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Students can understand the problem, make a plan, and solve without giving up.

STANDARD 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Students apply what they know about math and about number in different ways. They can look at a problem and represent it mathematically and they can see a math equation and identify a problem it represents.

STANDARD 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Students can explain their thinking and can construct questions that help

06

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

them understand others.

STANDARD 4: Model with mathematics.

Students use and experience math in all aspects of life.

STANDARD 5: Use appropriate tools strategically.

Students select math appropriate tools, such as ruler, calculator or math manipulative, to best support their process.

STANDARD 6: Attend to precision. Students are precise with their mathematical language, work deliberately and evaluate their solutions.

STANDARD 7: Look for and make use of structure. Students use previous knowledge and

understanding when solving math problems.

STANDARD 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Students look for rules and patterns, and can generalize their thinking to solve related types of math problems.

“Our focus on the math standards at the secondary level has brought about changes for teachers as well as students. When we plan together, we are more focused on the manner in which we teach content to students, so we can better facilitate the development of their reasoning and problem solving skills,” said Kathy Wagner, Lawrence Free State High School math teacher.

MATHEMATICS

Nurturing K-5 Mathematicians

By Philip Thies (K-5) and Danira Flores (6-12), Teachers on Special Assignment – Mathematics For many, the subject of mathematics instantly causes nervousness or anxiety. When adults reflect on the classroom math experiences they may have had, they think about completing problems based on speed, concepts that were difficult to relate to or maybe even being embarrassed when their logic for solving a problem didn’t match the way it was being taught. These feelings or frustrations may impact the way parents support their children with math.

Parents’ past experiences don’t need to undermine their ability to support their children in math. Parents are in integral piece of the puzzle when it comes to supporting students’ math skill building. Math is not a concept only learned in school. Partnerships among parents and teachers must be formed so that math is continually present and experienced throughout students’ daily lives.

Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics and author of “Mathematical Mindsets,� and Carol Dweck,

professor of psychology and author of “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,â€? recently shared tips for parents when helping with math at home: • Encourage children to play math puzzles and games. Those that include dice especially help build numeracy and logic skills. • Always be encouraging. Instead of telling children they are wrong find the logic in their thinking.

Even if their “answerâ€? may be incorrect, focus on the process, logic and perseverance they modeled when solving it. • Disassociate math with speed. It is not important to work quickly, particularly in the younger years.

Forcing children to work quickly on math is the leading cause of math anxiety for children, especially girls. • Avoid sharing with your children the idea that you were bad at math in school or you disliked it, especially if you are a mother. Researchers

found that when mothers shared negative ideas about math with their daughters, their daughters’ achievement declined. • Encourage number sense. What separates high and low achievers in elementary school is number sense or having an idea of the size of numbers and being able to separate and put numbers together flexibly. • Perhaps most important of all, encourage a growth mindset. This is the idea that ability and smartness change as you work more and learn more. When children have a growth mindset, they do well with challenges and do better in school overall.

These six ideas will enrich the partnership between parents and teachers, while enhancing math experiences for children. By working in partnership, parents and teachers can help students grow to their fullest potential in mathematics.

KANSAS ASSESSMENTS

UNDERSTANDING

The 2015 student test score report Last spring marked the first time Kansas students were assessed in English language arts and mathematics using the new Kansas College and Career Ready Academic Assessment. Developed by the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation at the University of Kansas, it fully aligns to the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. Kansas Assessment Program tests also align to Kansas’ content standards, which help educators and policymakers evaluate student learning and meet federal and state accountability requirements.

TEST PURPOSE These student scores can be used to: • Understand your child’s test results level as defined by the state of Kansas in English language arts and mathematics • Compare your child’s performance to other students in the school, district and state • Help identify your child’s relative strengths and limitations

TEST COMPONENTS For 2015, all students in grades 3-8 and grade 10 took untimed computerized assessments in English language arts and mathematics. The ELA assessment contained reading and writing sections, including a multidisciplinary performance task that required students to read, take notes and then write a response. Grades 4 and 7 also took a science assessment, and grades 6-8 participated in a required field test for history, social studies and government.

TEST FORMAT Unlike previous assessments, this computerized test employs technology-enhanced items that require students to do more than pick the right answer from a list. For example, students were required to order items, create categories, label areas, plot graphs and select multiple responses.

Also different is the use of scaled scores based on analysis of a large number of scores for the same test using expert committee-based decisions and mathematical formulas. With scaled scores, it doesn’t matter what version of an assessment a student took because the scores would be similar. To obtain a scale score, the total number of score points attained by a student on a test is converted to a scale score, which looks different but still means the same. For instance, the fraction ¼ means the same when converted to the decimal .25. Kansas’ weighted scaled scores range from 220, the lowest, to 380, the highest score. Scaled scores create a measurement that isn’t attached to one type of test. That makes it easier to identify a student’s performance level as well as strengths and weaknesses across tested subjects. While scale scores allow consistent reporting and score comparison, they do so only within a grade and content area.

Thank you for supporting your student’s participation in the Kansas Assessment Program.

In Kansas, we believe in the need for high quality, meaningful assessments that are aligned to college and career ready academic standards and that challenge students to demonstrate the depths of their knowledge. The assessment your student took last spring did just that.

While assessments should not be viewed as the “end all, be all,” they do provide a critical piece of information that helps to inform instruction as well as provide consistent benchmarking to ensure students are prepared for whatever path they choose to pursue after graduation. State assessments provide an opportunity for teachers, parents and students alike to check in on the student’s progress.

Your student may have commented that this new assessment was more difficult than in previous years, and they would be right. Kansas adopted more rigorous academic standards in

08

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

2010, and last spring’s assessment was the first time students were asked to demonstrate their mastery of skills such as critical thinking. When you receive your student’s scores, it is important to remember they cannot be compared to your student’s performance in previous years. Doing so would be like comparing apples to oranges – there simply is no comparison.

Kansas schools are among the best in the nation, and we all share in the responsibility of and commitment to ensuring the success of your student.

Thank you for your continued support of Kansas education and for being the most important champion for your student’s education success.

Sincerely, Dr. Randy Watson Kansas Commissioner of Education

grade-level expectations and is on track for college or the workplace. At the 2015 September State Board of Education meeting, members approved these cut scores and four performance levels.

Skills listed indicate capabilities for the student’s achievement level within the content level.

The Kansas Assessment Program builds on Kansas standards by focusing on broader skills and strategies rather than separate skills. This underlying framework organizes Kansas standards into “claims,” which are broad statements about student mastery of standards (“evidence”).

CLAIMS TARGETS STANDARDS

Student name, identification number and test year are here.

This area provides grade level, content area assessed, school and district.

The arrow points to the student’s score. Note the thicker line that divides standards-achieved levels (3, 4) from those that have not (1, 2). The four regions differ in size because score ranges for performance levels (maximum score possible for the performance level minus minimum score possible for the performance level) are not equal.

Additional graphs show how this student compares to other students in the school, district and state.

A small percentage of students also may have the notification “exited” (student was not enrolled in the reporting school at year end), “incomplete” (student did not complete all sections of assessment) or “data not shown to protect student privacy” (total number of students by grade and content area was too small to report fairly and accurately).

The score range possible within each achievement level was determined by more than 150 Kansas educators who gathered in the summer to recommend “cut scores,” which categorize students based on their state assessment performance last spring.

Differing for each grade and content area, the four performance levels are Level 1, a student is below grade level; Level 2, a student is at grade level, but not on track for college or career readiness; Level 3, a student is at grade level and on track for college or career readiness; and Level 4, a student exceeds

EVIDENCE

Claim scores are based on different numbers of test items. Generally, claim scores with more items will have smaller standard error of measurement.

If the number of items for a claim is too small, that claim can’t be reliably reported on its own.

So it may be combined into other claims and will contribute to the total score in a content area.

Included on the Kansas State Department of Education website are academic content standards and contact information. The Kansas Assessment Program website offers practice tests, news items and a Frequently Asked Questions section.

Detailed information about Kansas standards can be found at the Kansas Assessment Program website at http://www.ksassessments.org/.

they are applying it to their future. What they learn now will help them throughout their lives and could lead them in the direction of a career that may not even exist today,” said Roberts

Lawrence Public Schools’ students, teachers and support staff are learning, growing and working together to provide a new vision for science education and to raise student achievement.

“Instead of reading a textbook, my students last year investigated the increasing number of earthquakes in Kansas using a combination of science websites and news reports. This was a hot topic in the news. As students studied this topic, they not only learned about the science of earthquakes, but made cross-curriculum connections to other disciplines, including social studies, math and language arts,” Anna Busby said of the change in her classroom practice with the adoption of Kansas College and Career Ready Standards in science. Busby teaches science at South Middle School.

“My students continued to report learning more about the connection between fracking and earthquake activity in Kansas throughout the year and were eager to discuss their new evidence and conclusions, even after we had finished our earthquake unit. Exploring, investigating and evaluating a local issue is a great way to motivate and inspire students to learn,” Busby said.

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

Science and science education leaders from across the United States developed the KCCRS for science. After the Kansas State Board of Education adopted them in 2013, the Lawrence Public Schools began implementation. In a recent publication “NGSS Parent Q & A,” the National Science Teachers Association describes that the new standards “encourage students to learn the processes of science in a deep, meaningful way through firsthand investigative experiences, instead of just memorizing facts for a test… [t] his scientific way of thinking will ensure that the concepts children learn in school will stay with them not just for a day, a week, or a year-but for a lifetime.”

“My teaching has changed into more studentled investigations. I take a step back and without giving them step-by-step directions I watch my students create theories, experiment and feel successful,” said Melissa Roberts, Schwegler Elementary fifth grade teacher.

“The engineering and scientific practices help my class understand how these can transfer into all of their core classes. My students have learned science throughout all of their education, but now

KANSAS COLLEGE AND CAREER READY STANDARDS FOR SCIENCE The new standards promote students to experience science in a deep and meaningful way by integrating three dimensions of learning: • Science Disciplinary Core Ideas (the content, for example, physics) • Major Practices (conducting science in an authentic context, for example, developing and using models); and • Crosscutting Concepts (science ideas that permeate all the sciences, such as cause and effect) Engineering and technology principles also are incorporated at every grade level.

HOW WILL THIS NEW SHIFT IN SCIENCE EDUCATION CHANGE THE SCIENCE CLASSROOM? • Scientific exploration and experimentation will be emphasized.

• Students will be encouraged to ask more questions, exploring and discussing possible solutions.

• Instruction will mirror authentic science practices, such as using argumentation and being fully active in the learning process.

“The new science standards focus on students learning ways of thinking rather than learning only facts. There is an emphasis on inquiry labs and argumentation. In my classroom, I focus on teaching students how to set up an experiment and how to make an argument based on evidence. We learn about ‘real-life’ applications of the content and how to connect the content within our class to other classes,” said Mattithyah Bergersen, Lawrence Free State High science teacher.

SOCIAL STUDIES

Social Studies: Preparing Informed, Thoughtful and Engaged Citizens

By Kristl Taylor, Teacher on Special Assignment – K-12 Social Studies

The Kansas Standards for History, Government and Social Studies support college, career and citizenship outcomes for student learning. They go beyond simple recitation of foundational information and instead encourage the application of that information in authentic and realistic situations.

The standards reflect the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards for English/Language Arts and for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, and current research in discipline-specific best practices.

During the last couple of years, educators in the Lawrence Public Schools have been unraveling the new standards and developing a plan for full implementation. “It is exciting to see kids get more involved in their social studies education through approaches like the College, Career and Civic Life Framework. Using an inquiry-based approach allows students to take ownership of their education and how they communicate what they have learned,� said Phil Mitchell, Lawrence Free State High Social Studies Department chairman.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Kansas Standards for History, Government and Social Studies prepare students to be informed, thoughtful, engaged citizens as they enrich their communities, state, nation, world and themselves. • An informed citizen possesses the knowledge needed to understand contemporary political, economic and social issues.

• A thoughtful citizen applies higher order thinking skills to make connections between the past, present and future in order to understand, anticipate, respond to and solve problems. • An engaged citizen collaborates, contributes, compromises and participates as an active member of a community.

KANSAS HISTORY, GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL STUDIES STANDARDS, K-12: 1. Choices have consequences.

2. Individuals have rights and responsibilities.

3. Societies are shaped by beliefs, ideas and diversity.

4. Societies experience continuity and change over time.

5. Relationships between people, places, ideas and environment are dynamic. “Finding new ways to incorporate technology also allows us to give students access to diverse and divergent perspectives as they investigate social studies content,� said Tracy Murray, Lawrence High School Social Studies Department chairperson. “We are finding ways to give students more choice in regards to how they want to approach the content. Using the new standards creates exciting opportunities for both students and teachers to increase their creativity, while examining the content in more meaningful and in-depth ways,� said Murray.

“Using an inquiry-based approach allows students to take ownership of their education and how they communicate what they have learned.� — Phil Mitchell, Lawrence Free State High Social Studies Department chairman.

EQUITY

Intentionality is Key to Equity Transformation Process

By Danica Moore, Teacher on Special Assignment – Equity

Lawrence Public Schools celebrate many accomplishments made during the past six years toward the district’s Equity Goal. The district has increased graduation rates and narrowed achievement gaps. More than 1,300 employees and school partners have participated in Beyond Diversity training in order to learn a shared protocol for engaging school communities in courageous conversations about race. The District Equity Leadership Team, along with Equity Teams at each school, guide these conversations.

The district has created a staff of color support group and middle and high school student leadership groups to further these conversations.

Two teachers have completed affiliate training in order to provide on-site leadership for continued development.

This year the district committed to a new level of engagement involving equity training by sharing the two-day Beyond Diversity seminar with all new teachers, as part of staff induction week activities.

Approximately 75 new teachers participated in this foundational equity training prior to the start of the school year. The Teaching and Learning Division and the Human Resources Department will continue to collaborate to ensure all new employees have an opportunity to participate.

“It’s one thing to acknowledge the disparity, but it’s another thing to tackle the ‘how’ as an educator.

I think Beyond Diversity starts to open the door in providing a lens to tackle the ‘how,’” said Jennifer Bessolo, South Middle School principal. “My staff came in fired up and ready to act. I had at least five new teachers ask, ‘What can I do to be involved?’

This is refreshing to hear as an administrator.”

As the district looks to further its work toward its Equity goal, moving forward with intentionality, without settling for incremental change, will be its challenge. Employees have already begun asking the question, “What’s next?”

Danica Moore, Teacher on Special Assignment Equity, Jennifer Attocknie, Native American Student Services coordinator, and Cara Smith, learning coach, collaborated last fall to create a professional development experience for teaching staff around the creation of a rubric to evaluate resources and teaching materials for cultural relevancy. Smith brought this idea back after attending a reading conference in New Orleans and a session focused on using rubrics to evaluate gender equity in texts. ”When I heard the idea of searching for gender biases in teaching resources, I wondered if there was a way to screen for racial biases and stereotypes in our district,” Smith said.

Last fall, more than 30 teachers gathered to identify misrepresentations and biases that occur in school materials. Staff created a rubric to use to gather multiple perspectives before reviewing materials as teaching tools. School Equity Teams were trained to use the rubric and now have the task of training entire building faculties to utilize this rubric in their lesson planning and material selection.

“There are many books and materials that must be taught, but the rubric provides a way for teachers to have meaningful conversations with students to really break down stereotypes and disprove them. This is the start!” said Smith.

The district now utilizes this tool as part of its curriculum adoption process. This year all school Equity Teams will train teachers and educational support staff to apply the rubric.

Staff look forward to the dialogue and extensive lessons that teachers will be able to create due to their increased awareness. Providing students with multiple perspectives and seeking these out as educators is a true sign of commitment to the work of the district. It is not enough to say we are training teachers, it is more empowering to see how we are guiding individuals to impact student learning.

SOCIAL SKILLS

“Connect with Kids” Promotes Behavioral Health and Wellness

By Leah Wisdom, Student Services Coordinator In addition to academic instruction and support, Lawrence Public Schools are committed to providing students proactive behavior and social skills instruction and support.

“Social development is an integral part of adolescence and preteen maturation. The Connect with Kids Curriculum and time allotted during middle school Advisory period provides us with an opportunity to not only engage students around meaningful, practical issues our students face, but also to provide appropriate strategies and decision making skills they can apply in daily situations. It’s about being proactive and getting out in front of our students’ needs,” said Jennifer Bessolo, South Middle School principal.

Teams of teachers, staff, parents, students and administrators from each middle and high school reviewed a

variety of social skills curricula and chose Connect with Kids. Through national studies by the Institute of Educational Sciences, including one conducted in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools, Connect with Kids was found to have positive effects on middle and high school students’ behavior. The U.S. Department of Education designated the program an “Effective Producer.”

The review teams were excited for the opportunity to bring an award-winning and evidence-based program to Lawrence Public Schools. They especially liked the social skills curriculum’s multimedia programming and the potential for digital learning.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to build skills in communication, interpersonal relationships and working with others—skills that will be important to them throughout their

lives,” said Marc Conover, South Middle School counselor. “Connect with Kids also includes resources and lessons for parents and teachers. I like that parents will be able to make use of specific videos and lessons to address their needs.”

Emphasizing core character values, Connect with Kids promotes positive behavior and pro-social attitudes designed to improve students’ behavior, health and wellness. The Connect with Kids education network produces and provides documentary-style videos and evidence-based curriculum focusing on discussion and dialogue around social wellness. Lesson plans for each video include summaries of the lesson, discussion questions and student games and activities. As part of the Lawrence school district’s implementation of Connect with Kids,

student representatives from each middle and high school previewed many of the videos and provided positive feedback about having the chance to discuss social wellness issues at school.

“The Connect with Kids program is a great resource for teachers to address a wide range of issues that may affect teenagers in our building – attendance, bullying, life skills, technology and drug and alcohol prevention, to name a few.

The short documentary-style videos of teenagers dealing with everyday issues are a great way for teachers to help students build strengths beyond academic aptitude,” said Bill DeWitt, Lawrence High assistant principal. “Part of the educational process needs to focus on the social and emotional well-being of our students. I see Connect with Kids as a valuable resource for supporting those student needs at our school.”

EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENINGS

Early Childhood Special Education Services

By Laura Basham, Assistant Director of Special Education Children develop differently and at their own pace. While the range of what’s “normal” in terms of child development is broad, it’s not uncommon for parents to become concerned when their children don’t seem to be developing at similar rates as other children of the same age.

When looking at a child’s educational developments, five areas are considered: • Cognitive development • Physical development, including vision and hearing • Communication • Social or emotional development • Adaptive development Early intervention is critical for children who have developmental delays.

Parents concerned about a child’s development should contact the child’s pediatrician. Lawrence Public Schools provide screenings for children to identify possible suspected educational disabilities or developmental delays.

Lawrence Public Schools provide early childhood programs for children ages 3-5 (if not eligible for kindergarten)

who meet the eligibility requirements for special education services. School staff and parents work together to determine how to best to meet a child’s needs. Early childhood special education service delivery models for children 3-5 (not kindergarten eligible) include: • Appointment services • Community-based services (within Lawrence school district boundaries) • Early childhood special education/ Peer Model classrooms • Early childhood special education classroom Eligibility for services is determined through the screening and evaluation process for special education. How and where special education services are provided will depend on the unique educational needs and circumstances of each child. Lawrence Public Schools strive to serve students in their Least Restrictive Environment to the maximum extent appropriate. School staff works closely with parents and outside agencies throughout this process.

SCREENINGS Monthly screenings are held throughout the school year. During these screenings, the school team gathers information from parents and children and makes recommendations about next steps. During screenings, children will spend time with early childhood professionals. They will be engaged in games and play activities that allow district professionals to observe developmental areas. School staff focuses on making this experience fun and engaging for children while creating opportunities to identify any possible development concerns. Information from interviews, observations as well as standardized measures are used during each screening. Vision and hearing are also screened for each child. Screening appointments typically last about 35 minutes, although they can take more or less time depending on the unique needs of the child.

Depending on information provided by parents on the screening day and what the education professionals

observe, the screening team will make a recommendation.

Possible recommendations may include: • No recommendations – skills appear within age-appropriate limits at this time, • Further evaluation - with parent permission, professional staff would like to conduct a more formal evaluation in one or more developmental areas, • More information needed - staff would like to visit with the parent and observe the child in another setting, to determine next steps.

Contact Kennedy Elementary School, 785-832-5760, for further information about developmental screenings or to request a screening appointment for children ages 3-5 (not kindergarten eligible).

Tiny-K of Douglas County serves eligible children ages 0-2 years. Families may contact Tiny-K at 785-843-3059 for more information.
